Sovereign to Immortality

It was unknown when that middle-aged cultivator had descended from the sky above the stone forest. The formations and restrictions that could even make a cultivator change his expression didn't have the slightest hint of being touched as he casually strolled towards the center of the building.    

    

"Humph, they are all ants to the left and right. Killing them would alert the enemy, so we will leave them alive for now. However, junior sister may leave behind her inheritance before she passes on, but regarding the secret of the sect, we cannot reveal it!"    

    

The last protective needle in the center of the stone forest seemed to have no effect on this person, so he rushed straight towards a small stone hall. The stone hall was opened on top of a huge stone pillar, and the entrance to the stone hall was covered by a layer of light that flickered with runes.    

    

There was a spiral stone staircase at the back of the stone palace. The cultivator slowly walked up and at the end of the stone staircase was a closed stone door.    

    

The cultivator suddenly let out a sigh and muttered to himself, "Junior apprentice sister, in a flash, we will meet again in this manner for hundreds of years!"    

    

As the cultivator waved his hand, the stone door suddenly opened on its own amidst the rumbling sound without the slightest trace of momentum.    

    

Behind the stone door was a stone bed. On top of the stone bed, there was a tall, bun, graceful, and elegant looking woman who was in closed door cultivation. Behind the stone door was a stone bed, on top of the stone bed, there was a tall, bun, with a graceful, graceful, and elegant looking woman in closed door cultivation.    

    

The moment the cultivator saw the girl, he stood there blankly without moving an inch. Only his sleeves were slightly shaking, indicating that his heart was not as calm as it seemed.    

    

After a long while, another long sigh could be heard, "Junior Sister, why did you do that back then? For someone who has been expelled, you would rather leave the sect and die in this desolate place!"    

    

The past events seemed to be swirling in his mind. Not only did he not forget those several hundred years of time, he even sealed the memories hidden deep within his heart, making it so that when this scene appeared again, even those hundred years ago in his heart, were unable to control it.    

    

With junior sister's potential, if you focus on cultivation, your achievements today might not necessarily be comparable to your brother's. In the future, you might not even be able to live a carefree life, at least you might have hundreds or even thousands of years to live. It was love that hurt. I deeply regret that I did not grind that person's bones to dust back then. Even Junior Sister went astray! "    

    

"Hehe, several hundred years ago, the love you two had for each other has been great. Today, it's only a cup of yellow soil, but I, your brother, am already an elder of the sect. The glory of a few hundred years ago had now settled in? "I am the one who laughed the last time, you are all wrong, you are all wrong!"    

    

The more the cultivator spoke, the more excited he became, and his expression seemed to become uncontrollable. Following his mood fluctuation, the spirit energy in the stone hall suddenly became chaotic, a huge amount of spirit energy was being absorbed and exhaled from the inside of the stone hall, and even the door of the stone hall was directly flipped open. The two huge stone doors that weighed over a thousand jin fell to the ground, creating a dull sound.    

    

Spiritual Master Chen Ji and Spiritual Master Lang Gu, who had joined forces to break the formation, were startled by this sudden commotion. The two of them, who had originally been on guard against each other, simultaneously looked at each other.    

    

After the middle-aged cultivator finished speaking, he seemed to spit out all the depressed feelings that he had imprinted in his heart for many years, causing his spirit to immediately feel refreshed, his mind immediately calming down. When he looked at the corpse of the female cultivator sitting on the stone bed, there was no sadness left, instead, there was a faint smile on his face, like ridicule.    

    

"You can't just let your corpse fall into someone else's hands. Even though you've left the sect on your own, the sect still views you as a disciple. Just follow me!"    

    

At some point, a jade bottle had appeared in the middle-aged cultivator's hand. He threw the jade bottle upwards and the lifelike body of the female cultivator turned into dust, which was sucked into the jade bottle. On the stone bed, there was only a small bag of golden silk.    

    

The black bag seemed to once again bring back some memories of the cultivator. With a cold snort, he extended his hand and sucked in the air, and before the black bag could fall into his hands, it was already burnt up. There were a few items scattered inside, but with a sudden flick of his sleeve, the items that fell from the black bag disappeared.    

    

The middle-aged cultivator turned around and glanced back at the stone room before turning around and walking out of the stone hall. As he walked, his back looked more and more illusory, as if he was swaying in the water until the ripples dispersed and he disappeared.    

    

At this time, in the entire underground cave, whether it was the Martial Disciples who had yet to leave, or the two Mortal Realm cultivators who were trying their best to break through the defensive array in the middle of the stone forest, none of them had managed to reach the core of the cave without anyone noticing.    

    

At this moment, Yang Junshan and Yan Qingxi were hiding behind a stone pillar about a dozen zhang away from the Scarlet Essence Fruit Tree, secretly observing the situation around them.    

    

"There has indeed been a chaotic battle here. However, the traces of destruction no longer extend after approaching 30 feet of the Scarlet Essence Fruit Tree. Obviously, the range of the restrictions protecting the fruit tree is 30 feet!"    

    

Yan Xin Xi stood behind him and said unhappily, "I asked for your help to find a loyal uncle, not this Scarlet Essence Fruit Tree. Can it be that you and I can break that seal? Even if it's broken, the people who are hiding in the vicinity will let us dig up the fruit tree? "    

    

Yang Junshan chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Senior Yan is fine. He has already escaped!"    

    

"How do you know?" Yan Qingxi asked, but her expression was one of joy.    

    

Yang Junshan didn't explain, "If you have enough experience, you can draw the same conclusion as me."    

    

Yan Qingxi saw that he had said something senseless and did not explain. She could not help but grumble, "What are you pretending to be mysterious for? What's so great about that? You talk like an old man. You're only a few years older than me!"    

    

Although his tone was full of dissatisfaction, he didn't seem to have any doubts about Yang Junshan anymore.    

    

"Then what should we do next?"    

    

Yang Junshan glanced at her and said, "If I were you, since I have already confirmed that Senior Yan is fine, I should leave the underground cave and meet up with him."    

    

Yan Qingxi blinked and said, "Then what about you? Don't tell me that you plan to dig up this spirit tree after I'm gone!"    

    

Yang Junshan's face turned slightly red, he had the intention to do so, but he said, "What a joke, there are at least three Great Perfection cultivators lying in ambush nearby, I want to die!"    

    

Yan Qingxi's suspicious eyes continuously scanned Yang Junshan's face, causing him to feel a little uncomfortable. Just as Yang Junshan was about to lose his temper from embarrassment, Yan Qingxi's gaze suddenly shifted away. Her surprised voice suddenly sounded in his ears, "Look, who is that!"    

    

Yang Junshan cautiously stuck his head out from behind the stone pillar and saw a young man about his own age, holding a chess board in one hand and gesturing with the other as they walked towards the Red Essence Fruit Tree. Who else could it be other than Xiong Xi Zhe?    

    

As for the three people beside him, other than Xiong Xiying, there were two other people dressed in similar attire. Could it be that they were the other cultivators from the Heaven Shaking Sect who had entered the Five Elements Great Formation?    

    

These four people were obviously after the Red Essence Fruit Tree. Moreover, with the help of Xiong Xizhe and other formation masters, they were able to break through the protective barrier and obtain this spirit tree.    

    

"Were there any of these four people who ambushed you?" Yang Junshan asked in a low voice.    

    

Yan Qingxi chuckled softly and said, "No, I'm afraid there will be a good show to watch next!"    

    

"Xiong Xi Zhe should be able to detect it early!"    

    

Just as Yang Junshan finished his sentence, he saw Xiong Xi Zhe's feet stiffen as he let out a loud shout with a panicked expression. The faces of the three cultivators around him immediately changed as they all took action.    

    

Right at that moment, three rays of light suddenly appeared from three different directions.    

    

A cold light shot out from his sleeve and collided with the ray of light that was shooting towards him. An ear-piercing clanging sound of metal colliding resounded, and the two rays of light separated. Yang Junshan finally saw clearly that the magic tool of Xiong Xiying was a flying sword, and as the direct descendant of the heir of the Heaven Shaking Sect, the Xiong Family, he obviously had more than one magic tool with him.    

    

At the same time, the other two people who were with Xiong Xiying also made their moves, blocking the remaining two beams of light. However, both of them let out a groan as they retreated two steps back.    

    

"The two injured men are not strong enough. They are only at the fourth level of the Martial Disciple realm!"    

    

A pearl that was flickering with a faint spiritual light flashed in Yan Qingxi's hand as she spoke with an extremely assured tone.    

    

Yang Junshan did not doubt Yan Qingxi's judgement. He thought for a while and said: "It seems that after the Five Elements Great Array was weakened, the light barrier outside the stone forest was weakened as well. A few late stage Martial Disciples can break in now."    

    

At this time, the three Great Perfection cultivators had already come out from their hiding spots, surrounding Xiong Xiiying and the other two from different directions. The two cultivators who came with Xiong Xiiying tried their best to resist, but Xiong Xiiying's strength was slightly higher than the person he was fighting against, but he had to split his attention to take care of the other two.    

    

Yan Qingxi suddenly said in a low voice, "Then do you think it's possible for us to be fishermen?"    

    

Yang Junshan glanced at her and said, "I am worried if they will join hands."
