1228: Chapter 306_2 1228: Chapter 306_2 The higher someone’s cultivation base, the earlier they fall into slumber, but paradoxically, the later they awaken.
The cultivation of Old Man Wu Shuang was certainly above the Earth Immortal Realm, thus he was not the first to awaken.
The formations he had laid out were not actually for the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth, but rather, for after the era had ended.
“But if you are going to set up a formation, at least make it a decent one.
These materials, I’m having trouble even thinking about how to recover them.”
The materials used in those formations could be reclaimed after breaking the formations, but the process inevitably led to some loss.
The more the formation was used and the longer it existed, the greater the loss of materials.
And there were some formations that had been used to such an extent that the materials from them could no longer be recovered.
If they were any other materials, he might not bother to reclaim them, but the ones before him were of the celestial grade; he certainly couldn’t let them go.
Cao Zhen was collecting materials while reaching out to his disciples via the China Cloud.
It would take three days to travel from here to the Five Sounds Sect.
Currently injured, there was no way he could make the journey in three days—under his own power, it would probably take ten.
If he encountered any sort of ambush or robbery on his way back while injured, that would be a real problem.
Moreover, he was supposed to help the Five Sounds Sect pass a Heavenly Tribulation, which wasn’t usually much of a concern.
But with the injuries he now had, he really needed to make the most of every moment to recover.
Time, for him at this moment, was incredibly precious.
So the best solution was to have a disciple take him back, and then he could continue his cultivation on the flying boat.
“Ling Xi’s injuries haven’t healed yet; it’s better to have You Rong take me back.”
With a thought, Cao Zhen connected with Yan Yourong through the China Cloud, and immediately, her image appeared in the pitch-black room.
It was already deep into the night, but there sat Yan Yourong, cross-legged on the ground, eyes intently focused on the semi-unsheathed Grieving Anger Dragon Blade before her.
At this moment, Cao Zhen even had the feeling that Yan Yourong was slowly merging with the Grieving Anger Dragon Blade.
“Forget it, with You Rong in such a state, clearly at a critical moment in her cultivation, it’s best not to disturb her.
Let’s find Duo Duo instead.”
Cao Zhen quickly withdrew and connected with his youngest female disciple.
Like Yan Yourong, Duo Duo was also cultivating, but she did not appear to be at a critical juncture like Yan Yourong.
With a thought from Cao Zhen, his voice directly echoed in Duo Duo’s mind.
“Duo Duo, your master has been injured.”
“What!” Duo Duo suddenly opened her eyes wide, looking ahead in surprise.
She knew her master was not within the Five Sounds Sect, and she did not know what he had gone to do.
She was not the only one in the dark; none of them knew what their master was up to.
They had only heard from the disciple guarding the mountain gate that the master had left the Five Sounds Sect and flown off into the distance.
Now, her master was saying he had been injured, and that she needed to come receive him, which clearly indicated that his injuries were severe.
Her master was already at the limit of the Golden Core Stage; who could have injured him so badly?
Could it be that the master had been ambushed by multiple experts at the Golden Core Stage limit?
Or by countless experts?
While Duo Duo was puzzled, her master’s voice came again.
“You don’t need to alert anyone else; your master’s injury is an accident.
Just come by yourself to pick up your master, and I will tell you where I am now.
Leave the Five Sounds Sect and fly west, then you will see two mountains.
Pass through the middle of those two mountains, then turn left…
In the end, you will see a graveyard…
Never mind, don’t come to the graveyard, your master will change the location and inform you later.”
Duo Duo was completely baffled; why would her master go to a graveyard for no reason?
And not even a special graveyard, but an ordinary one in a village.
Although she was perplexed, since her master had said not to alarm anyone, she did not.
She simply left a note saying her master was looking for her.
Cao Zhen had initially intended for Duo Duo to come directly to the graveyard to find him.
But upon further thought, with the graveyard’s formation already broken and tonight’s disturbances—the golden thunders falling and the loud noises—it was impossible to know if there were any cultivators nearby or if anyone had noticed this place.
So, for safety, it was better to change the location.
Cao Zhen also hastened the dismantling of the formations.
Under the cover of night, three figures—two men and one woman—were flying rapidly forward when suddenly, thunderous noises reached them from afar, followed by the descent of an exceptionally brilliant golden thunderbolt, and then another!
“What is that?
What’s happening?”
Among the three, a thin man suddenly looked in the direction of the thunder and showed a look of shock: “It’s golden thunder!
This is my first time seeing golden thunder.
The might of that thunder, even from such a distance, is making my heart pound.
What kind of thunder is that?
And over there in the sky, it seems there are clouds of tribulation gathering.
Is a Heavenly Tribulation descending?
Why would there be a Heavenly Tribulation?
And that noise, that commotion, we’re so far away yet we even feel the earth shaking, the Void trembling…
What’s happening over there?”
