Chapter 881: Chapter 356: Rule Changes

Not only him, but also several martial cultivators responsible for steering the ship had pale faces.

During their ten days heading north to the Formless Divine Mountain, they had already suffered greatly at the hands of Shui Ruge.

What made it frustrating was that on this ship, they had nowhere to hide and nothing to escape to.

Shui Ruge chuckled: “Relax, I just had a burst of inspiration and came up with a melody for the zither. It will surely be enjoyable. To live in the same era as such unparalleled Heavenly Pride, it’s both a misfortune and a blessing for me, Shui Ruge. I must play a tune to express my emotions.”

The elegant scribe’s face turned even darker.

He thought, you’re someone who can’t even accurately discern the five tones, and you claim to have composed a zither melody? Isn’t that just laughable?

Meanwhile, in Dao Yi Hall of the Formless Divine Mountain, Li Changsheng sat in his chair lost in thought.

“The Cloud Sea Immortal Palace is a must-visit!”

He lifted his head, gazing at the boundless sea of clouds outside the hall.

“I don’t know what the Divine Turtle Wanderer has hidden within his Immortal Palace, yet for it to be coveted by the Chan Sect and watched over by All Gods, it is surely not ordinary? Can the Formless Divine Sect stand by idly?”

“The reasoning is clear, yet the means of the Heavenly Gods is not trivial.”

Lu Shouyang, the Disciplinary Court Master, sat on the other side, his expression also tinged with concern: “I’m more worried that this is a trap.”

“Even if it’s a trap, we must go. In the competition for the great path, even the slightest concession is unacceptable! If we yield even one point now, the enemy will grow one point stronger. If this thing falls into the hands of those enemies, the future situation of the Formless Divine Sect will surely be a hundredfold more difficult.”

Aox Guo coldly smiled: “Therefore, what we should consider now is who to send? How to use those three magic artefacts.”

“This is the troublesome issue.”

Li Changsheng rubbed his temple: “The matter arose suddenly, and we don’t have time to gather more artefacts capable of sealing cultivation. Also, the two Immortal Palace Secret Keys we hold—one belongs to the Sixth Grade Inner Sect Disciple Bai Hanguang, and this key has six slots available for sect allocation. I propose sending Junior Brother Yan Guilai to lead, along with Zong Sanping, Ren Xiaowo, Fang Bu Yuan, and Ye Zhiqiu.”

Everyone inside the hall was slightly moved.

The individuals Li Changsheng mentioned, except for Yan Guilai, are among the most outstanding Holy Transmission and Holy Candidate within the sect.

Among them, ‘Ren Xiaowo’ is as famous as Zong Sanping, together known as the Formless Three Friends.

As for Bai Hanguang, to obtain the Immortal Palace Secret Key in a martial-arts-rich place like You State, how could his talent be ordinary?

He is also a strong candidate of the Holy Transmission.

And Yan Guilai, furthermore, is one of the strongest Second Grade cultivators within the Formless Divine Sect.

Yu Yunxiang, the Great Elder of the Artifact Refining Institute, nodded slightly: “Junior Brother Yan Guilai possesses the Bloodline Talent of ‘Divine Sealing,’ allowing him to seal himself, maintaining his Fifth Grade cultivation for four months with no issues. The other four will need to utilize two magic artefacts.”

Fang Bu Yuan and Ye Zhiqiu both have Fifth Grade cultivation.

These two only need to temporarily seal their cultivation; after entering, they can unseal, eliminating the need to carry sealing artefacts.

Yu Yunxiang looked at Li Changsheng: “Then what about Chu Xisheng? Who do you intend to use the remaining artefact on? The last artefact can only seal Fourth Grade cultivation.”

“Chu Xisheng’s key is somewhat special. He previously promised the Coastal Zhou Family he would take three of them, and additionally, he needs to bring Lu Chen’s daughter, Lu Luanli.”

Li Changsheng clasped his hands behind his back: “The Coastal Zhou Family should be able to be persuaded, but among Chu Xisheng’s Daoists, all have Holy Transmission and Holy Candidate level talents, and our own sect members barely fill the slots, let alone leaving extra spots for the sect. Moreover, Holy Transmission below Fourth Grade lacks combat efficacy compared to Chu Xisheng, so assigning them would be pointless.”

The people inside the hall understood upon hearing this.

Chu Xisheng practices the Vengeance Blade; the more enemies there are, the stronger his combat power becomes, with one person equating to an entire team.

“So I only arranged for Jian Cangfeng!”

Li Changsheng revealed a smile: “As long as Cangfeng is there, no one can trouble Little Chu within the Secret Realm!”
