Chapter 896: Chapter 55: Request to Leave Seclusion

Taoist Gate, a great mist shrouding the mountain.

A streak of light slips into the mist, moving swiftly like a snake, unnoticed by anyone.

It is True Master Jun Shan.

“Elder…”

Deng Baiyi, standing carefully on the flying sword, transmitted a question using divine thought: “Will we be discovered this way?”

“It’s hard to say; we can only take a gamble.”

True Master Jun Shan took a deep breath.

At this moment, he held a talisman in his palm, emitting layers of light, enveloping the two of them within a three-foot radius.

This is one of the few “Spirit Treasure Level Talismans” he had left from his past life.

Great Concealment Talisman.

Igniting the Great Concealment Talisman with divine thought can wholly obscure one’s divine thought aura unless approached by a Yang God Realm expert; most Yin God Realm cultivators cannot discern the talisman’s existence.

This talisman is extremely precious, its only downside being its singularity and limited coverage.

Luckily, this body is still young, merely a child’s physique.

Squeezing in with Deng Baiyi, they managed to be fully covered, avoiding exposure.

The Taoist Gate is brimming with masters, and aside from the Xuanzhi incident, the internal vigilance is exceedingly strict.

True Master Jun Shan hovered in the air using sword control, extremely cautious.

The moment he ignited the Great Concealment Talisman.

True Master Jun Shan had considered the worst outcome: being immediately discovered by Chong Kan upon entering the main sect of Taoist Gate.

But… heaven favored him after all.

“Chong Kan indeed participated in the Imperial City siege; this guy’s real body might not even be on the back mountain.”

Utilizing the Great Concealment Talisman to escape several miles, he successfully slipped into the crevice of the former site of Qingnang Mountain, only then exhaling deeply. Chong Kan had no leisure to focus on him, so sneaking into Taoist Gate counted as half a success. Next, according to the secret map route provided by Chen Jingxuan, he would use the wondrous path of Qingnang Mountain to sneak into the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm.

Jun Shan glanced not far away.

The mist was overwhelming.

Due to the Xuanzhi mountain-climbing battle, Qingnang Mountain was uprooted, and the entire main sect of Taoist Gate underwent a dramatic shift in fortune…

Such news should have long spread throughout Great Chu.

But Chong Kan laid down this Daluo Mist Formation.

Now, within the Daluo Mist Formation, are disciples of the Duobao Pavilion, tinkering and repairing.

So-called deceiving the heavens to cross the sea, replacing beams with pillars.

Perhaps no one would have expected that the second-in-command of law enforcement, who had managed Taoist Gate for years, would deliver the greatest betrayal in a thousand years.

True Master Jun Shan was unaware of how many “insiders” now stood by Chong Kan within the Seven Halls.

But anger burned in his heart.

“If Brother Tianyuan Mountain knew that Taoist Gate had turned into this…”

True Master Jun Shan felt both fury and bitterness: “Brother would be very sad…”

Sword Qi light continued advancing smoothly under the shelter of the Great Concealment Talisman.

Within moments, it would enter the range of Tianyuan Mountain.

Just when True Master Jun Shan thought everything would proceed smoothly without obstacles.

“Uncle Jun Shan.”

A hoarse sigh suddenly echoed from not far away.

Amidst the dense fog on the outskirts of Tianyuan Mountain, a misty figure cloaked in gray appeared. The figure, hands tucked into sleeves, bowed slightly, seemingly having waited long, was precisely Master Yanwei of All Marvels Pavilion, responsible for guarding Tianyuan Mountain.

The Great Concealment Talisman was still burning.

Light and fire swirled in the mist, avoiding refracting light from various directions, yet could not dodge Master Yanwei’s gaze.

The Master of All Marvels Pavilion stood in place, eyes fixed on True Master Jun Shan’s sword-controlled form.

“…”

True Master Jun Shan halted the flying sword.

He did not revoke the Great Concealment Talisman, but calmly handed the talisman to Deng Baiyi.

Deng Baiyi pursed her lips, solemnly accepting it.

“Yanwei Nephew.”

The Daoist-robed child chuckled softly, standing on the flying sword, straightening his back, mockingly said: “I never thought your cultivation would advance so rapidly over the years… It seems you are just one step away from Yang God? Will you ignite Life Fire to promote to Yang God when the fight begins?”

“Uncle overestimates me.”

Master Yanwei shook his head: “This step is a heavenly barrier, blocking countless heroes, wanting to take this step… difficult, too difficult.”

Throughout history, how many have perished at this checkpoint.

Spectacles like Xuanzhi.

In a thousand years, only this one instance.

“Nephew, though not talented, can still sense the aura of this ‘Great Concealment Talisman’.”

Master Yanwei said mildly: “Uncle wants to enter Tianyuan Mountain, why hide and evade… stride openly, directly visit from the back mountain.”

“Look, what are you talking about?”

True Master Jun Shan mocked: “What happened to the last guy who made an open visit from the back mountain? Is your Brother Xuanzhi okay now?”

“…”

Master Yanwei fell silent.

Just recently.

He witnessed with his own eyes the Taoist confrontation worthy of historical records.

Brother Xuanzhi ascended the back mountain and battled Master Chong Kan… eventually, it ended in suppression.

If True Master Jun Shan took this route too.

The outcome would likely be the same.

To Chong Kan, brothers and disciples seemingly made no difference.

“Uncle, Tianyuan Mountain has only one path accessible, this is the iron law of Taoist Gate.”

After a long silence, Master Yanwei spoke, respectful in manner, sincere in voice: “Sect Leader was in seclusion before, personally commanded me, instructed All Marvels Pavilion to guard the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm, not allowing ‘outsiders’ to enter, all entering the secret realm must report, unauthorized entry is considered trespassing.”

“Who do you say is an outsider?”

True Master Jun Shan said coldly: “I’m your uncle!”

Master Yanwei, upon hearing, lowered his head, yet his figure standing in the mist showed no signs of retreat.

“Fool. Back then, you adhered too staunchly to principles, lacking flexibility, hence being assigned to guard the mountain gate at this ‘All Marvels Pavilion’.”
