Wang Yu
Chapter 1357: Predicament
"Ah, you girl, you really worry me..." The old woman sighed upon hearing this, but her eyes were full of doting.
Although the old woman founded the Mengtan Sect for over ten million years, she had never been able to find a disciple who could inherit her true teachings. She accidentally discovered Yu Menghan through dream induction and immediately took her under her wing.
The old woman herself had exhausted her long life, reaching the peak of the Grand Luo realm, and had always longed to break through the final barrier to become a Dream Dao Ancestor, but she had always been unable to do so, and now she felt that the hope was even more slim.
However, the appearance of Yu Menghan gave the old woman another choice, allowing her to place all her hopes on her.
And the latter was indeed an excellent talent for cultivating this path. As long as she was diligent in her cultivation, and with the old woman's assistance from the side, the future Great Dao could be expected.
However, what made the old woman somewhat helpless was that Yu Menghan seemed to have a deep entanglement with her past. She always couldn't put down a "Five Thunders Rectification True Scripture". While practicing the supreme Taoist methods passed down by her family, she would still secretly practice this method unconsciously.
"Alright, the Bodhi Banquet is about to begin, so stop dozing off. When you receive the Bodhi Dao Fruit later, you must cherish it, for it is a thing with Great Dao opportunities." The old woman couldn't really be harsh on Yu Menghan, so she said.
"Master, do I have a share of this Dao Fruit?" Yu Menghan said in surprise.
"Of course you don't. None of the entourage has it. Only those who are officially invited by the Heavenly Court and those who hold the Bodhi Token have this great opportunity. But the benefit of me eating this Dao Fruit is really limited now, so I'll let you have a taste." The old woman said with a smile.
"No, no, if it's Master's Dao Fruit, this disciple can't eat it." Yu Menghan waved her hands repeatedly.
"Silly girl, you don't know how precious this Bodhi Dao Fruit is. Not to mention those Taiyi Grand Luo cultivators, even those Dao Ancestors over there cherish this fruit very much. Of course, there are different levels of this Dao Fruit. The Heavenly Court will treat them differently according to the level of cultivation and the closeness of their relationship with the Heavenly Court." The old woman tapped Yu Menghan's forehead and said with a smile.
"Then Master's Dao Fruit..." Yu Menghan asked halfway, but felt it was inappropriate, so she didn't continue.
"Naturally, I have the highest level of Dao Fruit, so you must not rush to take it after you get it. I will seal it with magic and gradually divide it into small pieces for you to take little by little after returning to the Mengtan Sect, so that it will not harm your body and can maximize the absorption of the Dao Fruit's medicinal power." The old woman smiled with satisfaction, her eyebrows relaxed.
"Fellow Daoist Meng Po is willing to part with it. This Bodhi Dao Fruit was refined by His Holiness with secret methods using various laws and spent a long time refining it. You said you'd give it to your disciple, and you're giving it to her?" At this moment, a deep voice rang out from the side.
The old woman didn't even need to turn her head to know who it was, and scolded, "I can give my Dao Fruit to whoever I want. What business is it of yours, you old immortal thing?"
Yu Menghan couldn't help but turn her head to look, and found that the speaker was a tall gray-robed old man. His face was not particularly immortal-like, but the aura on his body was extraordinary.
It was just that his somewhat tattered gray robe looked a little out of place compared to the brocade robes of the others.
"Haha, the Bodhi Dao Fruit, when taken by those who have not attained the Dao, has the ability to help them comprehend the Great Dao; when taken by those who have already attained the Dao, has the ability to delay the erosion of the Heavenly Dao..." The man was not annoyed and still said with a smile.
"Cang Wu, you old dog, shut up and mind your own business." Meng Po turned her head sharply and scolded.
The gray-robed old man with the Dao name Cang Wu Zhenjun immediately shrank his neck and stopped speaking.
"Master, is what this senior said true?" Yu Menghan's heart was greatly shaken.
Since following Meng Po to cultivate, her horizons had long been different from what they were in the past. She also knew a lot about the secrets of the True Immortal Realm, so when she heard Cang Wu Zhenjun's words just now, she realized that this Bodhi Dao Fruit was ten thousand times more precious than she had imagined.
"Ah, of course it's true. Otherwise, how could a Dao Ancestor-level existence like Cang Wu submit to the Heavenly Court? It's not just because of coercion, but also because of this inducement." The old woman stopped speaking, but used secret techniques to transmit the sound to Yu Menghan.
Yu Menghan heard the voice in her heart and secretly made up her mind that no matter what, she would not take this Bodhi Dao Fruit.
"Thank you, Senior, for the advice." Yu Menghan knew that this Cang Wu Zhenjun had intentionally pointed out this matter, mostly hoping that her master would take this fruit herself, so she transmitted the sound.
Cang Wu Zhenjun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said to Meng Po with a smile, "Meng Po, you are blessed to have taken in such a good disciple..."
After saying that, a hint of loss flashed in his eyes, and he silently walked to a few cases away from the old woman, slowly sat down, closed his eyes, and looked like an old god.
Looking at the lively scene around her, Yu Menghan felt a trace of sadness in her heart for some reason, and the figure of Han Li suddenly appeared in her mind.
I wonder where he is now?
……
That unknown realm, in the Ten Directions Myriad Immortals Grand Formation.
Han Li stood suspended in the dark void. In front of him, seventy-two Sword Spirit Children were spinning uncertainly, arranging a Tongtian Sword Formation with unparalleled power.
As the golden lightning flashed, the seventy-two children shone with golden light on their bodies, and one by one revealed their true forms, turning into golden flying swords entwined with lightning. The sword energy between them condensed, crisscrossed back and forth, and virtually created a golden heavenly gate.
Different from the heavenly gate transformed by the Tongtian Sword Formation on weekdays, the heavenly gate in front of him was much weaker in momentum, and it looked as illusory as a phantom. However, the power of lightning law contained in it was real.
Even through the formation barrier, Zi Shan and others were secretly stunned.
"How is this guy so unreasonable? He is clearly practicing the power of time law, but how can his natal flying sword have such a pure and domineering power of lightning law?" The ugly old woman Zhu Yan asked with a strange expression.
The other three people present looked at each other and were also stunned for a while, but no one could give an answer.
"His set of natal flying swords is really extraordinary. I'm afraid it is also a natural divine weapon that seizes the creation of heaven and earth..." Dongli Hu sighed and guessed.
While the few people were talking, the phantom heavenly gate that appeared out of thin air in the Ten Directions Myriad Immortals Formation suddenly opened. A golden ocean surged endlessly inside, and thousands of golden dragons swam out of it, rushing straight to the edge of a barrier.
"Rumble..."
Accompanied by a burst of roars that shattered the sky, the golden dragons that condensed Lei Kui's pure lightning attribute power all slammed into the barrier, like golden fireworks, exploding one after another.
The entire barrier void vibrated with energy, and a violent impact force, wrapped in wisps of golden electric threads, collided back and forth in the surrounding area, surging non-stop.
Han Li's figure shuttled through it like lightning, avoiding the constantly colliding power fluctuations.
His brows were furrowed, and his heart was full of surprise.
What kind of formation is this that can completely seal off a space? Not only can his and Jin Tong's physical bodies and souls not pass through, but even the impact force brought by their attacks seems unable to be transmitted, and can only collide back and forth in this space until it is completely consumed and dissipates on its own?
Millions of miles away from him, in another barrier void, Jin Tong was also waving her golden giant fists, constantly bombarding a barrier void. Bursts of explosions sounded like thunder, rumbling continuously.
The void was also filled with explosive sound waves, and the fist energy fluctuated endlessly.
At the same time, in the ten immortal realms connected to this Ten Directions Myriad Immortals Formation, dozens of mountain ranges within the territory were shaking at the same time, dozens of volcanoes were erupting at the same time, and a vast sea area was also setting off unprecedented monstrous waves.
Moving one hair affects the whole body. These ten immortal realms are gathering the power of their entire bodies to suppress Han Li and Jin Tong.
The thousands of cultivators distributed on the formations in various immortal realms were also affected and shaken at the same time. The Grand Luo powerhouses were able to withstand it, but the Taiyi Jade Immortals seemed quite strenuous, their bodies were surging with energy, and they felt very uncomfortable.
As for those Golden Immortal cultivators, they were even more miserable. Many people couldn't bear it and bled from all seven orifices, falling to the ground.
However, as soon as someone in the formation couldn't hold on and fell, new people would immediately come to supplement them, so this Ten Directions Myriad Immortals Grand Formation remained stable and showed no signs of collapsing.
The four people outside the formation checked the damage of the cultivators maintaining the formation and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was still within a controllable range.
"If it's just this level, it can still be controlled. Even if they are given ten days and a half months, they may not be able to do anything." The white-haired man Meng Yuan had a faint smile on his face and said.
"Don't be complacent, watch carefully. If there are any loopholes, fill them immediately." Zi Shan's expression was slightly condensed, and she still maintained her vigilance.
"Yes." The brawny man Dongli Hu replied first, and the other two also responded.
Inside the formation, Han Li had already taken back the Sword Spirit Children and stood suspended in the air, frowning and silent.
At this time, a golden light shot from a very distant place and stopped in front of him, and the figure of Jin Tong emerged from it.
"This grand formation is too strange. I can't break it directly with my power." Jin Tong sighed, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and said somewhat sullenly.
"The heaven and earth here are completely forbidden. My Tongtian Sword Formation cannot communicate with heaven and earth, and can only exert part of its power, and cannot break this barrier." Han Li glanced at her and said.
"Why don't... we stop attacking this barrier? You and I will strike each other once to see if the power generated can tear this void apart? If it can, can't you and I escape directly by entering the outer space through the void crack?" Jin Tong suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of something.
Han Li thought for a moment when he heard this, and also felt that this plan could be tried.
So, the two quickly pulled apart and retreated tens of thousands of miles away, one punching and one wielding a sword, colliding with each other in a flash of lightning.
Rumble...
In an instant, a spatial shock far more powerful than before came, and the sound of explosions continued in the void. Bursts of collision fluctuations collided back and forth in the entire grand formation, and the momentum lasted for a long time.
Jin Tong dodged the aftereffects of the collision and came to Han Li.
The two looked at each other, both very disappointed. The astonishing blow just now, although it made the space shake endlessly, failed to cut out even a star and a half of space cracks in the surrounding void as expected.
