Chapter 1223: 1227 Taiyi Yuan Soul Method acquired

In the depths of the Seven Colored Clouds Ruins, a boundless marshland stretches out, with bubbling pits scattered across the ground. The air is filled with a pungent, rotten smell, and a mass of blue miasma floats above the swamp.

Shen Yuqing, Shen Yuhong, Shen Ou, and Shen Yue stand atop a low earthen hill, their expressions grave. Two Rune Soldiers stand beside them.

"Master, there’s a prohibition here as well; we can’t force our way through."

Shen Yue said with a frown.

"Strange, the map I collected didn’t mention any prohibitions here!"

Shen Ou furrowed his brows.

"The Seven Colored Clouds Ruins must have arranged rotating restrictions; each time they enter a weakened period, the prohibitions change. Some very safe places might have strong prohibitions. Otherwise, after all these years, the treasures of the Seven Colored Clouds Ruins would have been taken already."

Shen Yuhong analyzed.

"If we detour again, what if we encounter prohibitions and have to detour again? We might end up overtaken by others."

Shen Ou was full of worry.

"Brother, you are an Immortal Formation Master. Where do you think there might be no prohibitions?"

Shen Yuqing asked.

Shen Yuhong took out the map and examined it carefully.

"There might be no prohibitions here, but it’s a long detour."

Shen Yuhong pointed to a certain spot and said.

"A detour that far? How about we first explore the vicinity?"

Shen Ou suggested.

"No need, let’s go with his plan."

Shen Yuqing said gravely.

They headed towards the distant Green Bamboo Forest and disappeared within the bamboo thicket.

······

In the northwest part of the Seven Colored Clouds Ruins, a deafening explosion rang out, a massive golden light shooting skyward, waves of energy rolling.

As the golden light dissipated, a crater appeared on the ground. A burly man in a yellow robe and a slender woman in a white dress stood in the sky, their expressions icy.

"Thought that self-destruction would bring us down together? Naive."

The burly man sneered.

"Enough, get that item quickly! I don’t have the time to waste with you."

A somewhat impatient male voice emitted from the blood-colored Jade Pendant on the burly man’s chest.

"Yes, Lord A."

The burly man agreed promptly, showing respect. They left the scene.

······

A long, narrow valley, barren of vegetation, scattered with numerous gray-white stones.

Shen Yuqing and the other three stood within the valley, with two Rune Soldiers beside them.

"Finally arrived."

Shen Yuqing relaxedly exhaled.

They followed Shen Yuhong’s advice and indeed didn’t encounter any prohibitions, reaching their destination smoothly.

Shen Yuqing’s right hand emitted a burst of red light, slashing towards the void, a massive red Sword Light sweeping out, accurately striking a steep stone wall.

The stone wall trembled violently, illuminating a yellow light, a earthen-yellow light screen appearing.

The red Sword Light collided with the earthen-yellow light screen, causing the screen to depress inward.

After a while, the red Sword Light disappeared.

"So troublesome! No wonder it has existed for so many years."

Shen Yuqing exclaimed, surprised that despite having cultivated the Sword Law to Great Achievement, she couldn’t deal with the earthen-yellow light screen.

"Sis, let me handle it! This prohibition is likely a simplified version of the Third Rank Immortal Formation Mei Luo Defensive Immortal Array, its defense far surpassing an ordinary Second Rank Immortal Formation."

Shen Yuhong volunteered.

Shen Yuqing nodded and stepped aside.

Shen Yuhong flicked his sleeve, hundreds of Formation Flags flickering with green light shot out, and vanished into the nearby void.

He took out a seven-sided Array Plate flickering with green light, casting several spells onto it.

The void rippled, and a large green mirror appeared within the void; upon close observation, the green mirror was merely a phantom, not a solid entity.

With a change of spell, the green mirror spewed a stream of green light onto the earthen-yellow light screen, producing green smoke which dimmed the screen.

After a moment, the earthen-yellow light screen shattered like a bubble, revealing a cave about a fathom in size.

With a wave of his hand, Shen Yuhong collected the blue mirror and the hundreds of Formation Flags, slipping them into his sleeve.

"Second Young Master truly excels in formations, to break this array so quickly is impressive."

Shen Ou admired fully.

"The formation had been running for ages, its power largely spent, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to break it so swiftly."

Shen Yuhong explained.

Shen Yue’s eyes shined with red light, probing the cave’s interior.

"Master, inside is a Cultivator’s remains. Judging by the damage to the body, they suffered serious injuries before death."

Shen Yue stated.

Shen Yuqing nodded, and manipulated the two Rune Soldiers into the cave, following behind.

After turning left twenty paces, they entered a cave about an acre in size, with a human-shaped skeleton in the center draped in a yellow long robe.

The lower half of the skeleton was missing, numerous ribs were broken, and a yellow Storage Bracelet adorned the left wrist.

Shen Yuqing’s right hand released a golden ring, utilizing the Divine Soul Law.

The golden ring swept past the skeleton with no anomalies.

Shen Yuhong extended his hand to the void, the yellow Storage Bracelet floating to his hand.

With a light shake, a wash of yellow light spread out, covering the ground with many items.

Eight pieces of Middle Grade Immortal Artifacts, over fifty thousand Middle Grade Immortal Yuan Stones, and a pile of Refining Materials along with over a hundred Jade Slips.

All four picked up a Jade Slip, their Divine Senses diving into them.

After reading the contents of all the Jade Slips, they discovered the complete Taiyi Yuan Soul Method within a Golden Jade Slip.

"We got what we came for, time to head back!"

Shen Yuqing declared, collecting the items from the ground.

As they stepped out of the valley, a deafening explosion echoed from the distance, a huge golden light appearing far away on the horizon.

Shen Yue’s eyes emitted a dazzling golden light, and he frowned, saying, "Southwest direction, four Immortals are in a magical duel. A man in golden robes has united with an Eight-winged Flying Centipede."

"Golden Centipede Immortal!"

Shen Ou speculated, giving a brief description of Golden Centipede Immortal’s appearance.

"That’s him; they’re surrounded by two Mei Luo Clan Cultivators. They’re not a match, one has fallen, leaving only Golden Centipede Immortal."

Shen Yue reported.

"Mei Luo Clan! It’s a sub-race of the Poluo Clan, not friendly with our Human Clan."

Shen Ou explained.

"Let’s go eliminate them."

Shen Yuqing said coldly.

In an open field more than a million miles away, a graceful woman in a purple dress and a tall man in a yellow robe were attacking a gigantic Golden Centipede, the ground pocked with craters.

"Send him on his way."

The woman in the purple dress spoke icy cold as she swung a foot-long purple short sword, slashing the void.

A massive purple Sword Light swept forth, tearing the void into a wide chasm.

The man in the yellow robe stomped the ground fiercely, causing a dramatic tremor; within a 300,000-mile radius, soil turned to sand, dust filled the sky, countless yellow sand grains soared, converging into thick yellow chains, binding the Golden Centipede.
