Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1351 - 577: Water Virtue Pearl
Previously on Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill...
Xu Xun’s pupils contracted: "This is..."
"The true entrance to the Water God Palace is inside this ’Tide Bead’!"
Li Yunjing’s eyes burned with intensity: "The big gate outside is fake! Whoever enters through there will definitely be attacked by various restrictions and arrays! Whether they survive depends on their skills!"
"The people of the Celestial Net Dao Sect..."
Xu Xun’s heart was stirred, and he asked instinctively.
"Hehe! They’re as good as dead! We’ll first seize the aura here! In a while, we’ll enter from here, and while we’re at it, kill off the Celestial Net Dao Sect people inside the Water God Palace!"
Li Yunjing sneered coldly, revealing his plan.
His "Profound Celestial Compass" flew out, dancing continuously nearby, emitting strands of radiance.
Soon, Li Yunjing’s eyes brightened!
He reached out repeatedly, grasping in the void!
But in Xu Xun’s view, Li Yunjing seemed to be blindly grabbing at nothing, with nothing in his hands.
Yet Xu Xun didn’t disturb Li Yunjing, as he knew this was the means of a Celestial Secret Master, capturing the aura left behind by living people.
This aura is invisible and formless, unseen by ordinary people.
But it undeniably exists!
Everyone has a different aura; if a Celestial Secret Master captures a person’s aura, they might be able to extrapolate that person’s location and fate using it!
This is outright defying the heavens.
Due to such heaven-defying abilities, the fate of Celestial Secret Masters isn’t great.
Shortening of lifespan is the most basic loss; severely, it could even damage one’s personal fortune.
These are all hidden dangers in cultivation.
Li Yunjing closed his eyes slightly, silver light shimmering faintly at his fingertips, the "Profound Celestial Compass" above him spinning rapidly and scattering sparkling starlight.
Xu Xun held his breath and focused, seeing faint golden mist floating in the void, moving like a living thing.
"Found it!"
A quarter-hour later, Li Yunjing suddenly opened his eyes, his right hand clawing fiercely.
The strands of golden mist struggled intensely, letting out faint screeching sounds.
His left hand quickly formed a seal, and three blood-tinged talismans flew out from his sleeve, forming a Three Talents Array in mid-air to trap the golden mist.
Xu Xun noticed the compass needle trembling madly, Li Yunjing’s temples turning grey visibly.
"Brother Li!"
He couldn’t help but remind, only to see the other’s mouth seep blood, still staring intently at the coalescing golden mist.
"It doesn’t matter..."
Li Yunjing said hoarsely, "These two old foxes indeed were cautious, hiding a backlash restriction within the aura."
Suddenly biting his tongue, he spat a mouthful of Essence Blood onto the "Celestial Profound Compass."
In an instant, golden light flared, the mist finally materialized into two thumb-sized little men shadows, clearly in the likeness of the Four Seas Commerce Association Elders!
"It’s them!"
Xu Xun gasped, seeing black threads vaguely entwining the shadows.
"This is... the lines of causality?"
Xu Xun swallowed hard.
This sort of Divine Technique filled him with awe.
If someone offended Li Yunjing, as long as this Vice Sect Leader Li was willing to pay the price, he could calculate the other’s location!
At that time, whether Li Yunjing personally went to kill them or sent others to do so, the other party would be as good as dead!
"No wonder many in the Immortal Cultivation Realm fear offending Celestial Secret Masters!"
Xu Xun thought secretly to himself.
"Indeed."
Li Yunjing wiped away the bloodstains with a cold smile, "Their collusion with the Celestial Net Dao Sect is the best tracking lead."
Before Li Yunjing could continue, the "Celestial Profound Compass" emitted a piercing sound, both shadows pointing simultaneously to the southeast.
Li Yunjing suddenly coughed violently, the shadows in his palm began to dissipate.
He hurriedly took out a Jade Box to seal the remaining aura, "Good thing we arrived on time, otherwise, the aura would have completely disappeared if we were a few days late."
"Rumble!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth, an earth-shattering explosion sounded from the direction of the fake palace gate, causing the entire seabed to tremble.
Xu Xun supported the staggering Li Yunjing, widened his eyes, and gazed towards the Water God Palace.
"No worries! Don’t mind me!"
Li Yunjing grinned, a glint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes, "It’s worth trading ten years of lifespan for their two auras."
"Now, time to head to the Water God Palace."
Li Yunjing’s veins bulged on his forehead, mana surging madly all around him, "Profound Celestial Compass" and "Dragon and Phoenix Yin Yang Celestial Secret Pendant" simultaneously burst with strong light, weaving into an invisible net.
He suddenly shouted, clasped his palms together, grabbed Xu Xun, and dashed toward the "Tide Bead"!
As the two entered, the surface of "Tide Bead" rippled and then returned to calm.
Upon entering the Water God Palace, Li Yunjing scanned the surroundings, a cold smile curling his lips: "Let’s go! We’ll loot the treasures here, then give the Celestial Net Dao Sect people a surprise!"
Xu Xun gripped his longsword tightly, a flash of ruthlessness in his eyes: "Alright! Let them know, whoever dares to oppose us will only face death!"
The two exchanged glances and without hesitation, pursued the direction where the aura fled down the bluestone corridor, their figures quickly vanishing into the vast hallways.
Soon, the two passed through the corridor and entered a stone chamber.
In the center of the stone chamber lay seven stone coffins aligned side by side, mysterious runes carved on the lids, from an unknown era.
The moment Li Yunjing stepped into the stone chamber, the "Profound Celestial Compass" trembled violently, its needle spinning madly before pointing directly at the central third stone coffin.
His pupils contracted slightly, noticing a faint blue light emerging from the seam of the stone coffin, within which fish-shaped light shadows faintly swam.
