Chapter 243: The Irresistible Conspiracy
“Waiting for us in the trap, even Fenggong’s Grand Law won’t be able to stop it… is this unexpected disaster?”
Yun Ye looked up at the vast surroundings, formulated a hand seal, and released the sealing effect.
A flash of gray flickered in his icy blue eyes.
He was ready to unleash his full power for battle.
This was a formation and required serious attention.
The reason formations exist is to compensate for human flaws and further enhance the power of cultivators, holding unimaginable Power.
This is something that can’t be achieved no matter how much Spiritual Law is improved or how far its mechanisms are pushed.
Since the advent of Spiritual Roots, and with the accelerated extraction of spirit energy by humans, evolution has hit a bottleneck.
There is a limit to the spirit energy in any given area; this is beyond human control.
No matter how powerful the Spiritual Roots or how strong the Spiritual Roots Law, the amount of spirit energy that can be extracted is limited to the spirit energy of that fixed area. Once the extraction speed reaches its limit, it can no longer be increased even by a fraction.
Thus, normal methods reach their end here.
At this point, the path splits into two.
One is to use the formations, pre-arranging them to expand the area for extracting spirit energy and thereby obtain more spirit energy. This path is actually a side method because it requires prior groundwork and lacks mobility.
The other is the eleventh tier of the Heavenly Path, which is the rightful way. This path accumulates power generation after generation, allowing the Three Great Methods to achieve unimaginable might at the cost of confidentiality.
Why was Fenggong Yuan shocked by Yun Ye’s talent?
Because merely relying on his talent, Yun Ye had crossed a vast combat power increase via the Heavenly Path, something that came from countless generations of a family’s accumulation. How could anyone leap such bounds solely based on talent?
It was utterly maddening.
“You seem calm. Why?”
Suddenly, a voice echoed. The moment Yun Ye looked over, gray energy spread and froze everything.
The man in black robes clearly did not expect Yun Ye to act so decisively. Caught off guard, his hand began to freeze directly, the gray energy quickly spreading over his entire body.
Was it that simple to kill?
“Useless. Today, you have no other options.”
Another man in black robes appeared; his voice was different but the tone completely identical—it was the same person.
“Puppet technique?”
Yun Ye furrowed his brow. This was a form of Spirit Law, controlling puppets with Spirit Law. Unless the true body was found, no matter how much damage was done to the puppet, it would be pointless.
Yet finding the true body within this formation was indeed impractical; his understanding of formations wasn’t very deep…
This was a huge problem. Once a formation is laid out in advance, it becomes a combat power booster that rivals the Heavenly Path Law.
The best time to break a formation is before it is set up.
In this already established formation, he was in danger!
“Halo Fire!”
Yun Ye released an invisible light for detection; with his Spirit Sense ineffective, he had to try other methods.
“Useless… Useless…”
One after another, men in black robes emerged, imposing powerful Spirit Law interference on Yun Ye, trying to control him.
The most terrifying part was that Yun Ye discovered he had almost fallen into their trap; they had skillfully bypassed his defenses and managed to control part of his body. If not for his Spirit Law being solidified and continuously guarding his consciousness, he would have been captured and plunged into a significant disadvantage.
“Spirit Law great cultivator? What merit have I that allows you, a great cultivator, to set up formations to strangle me?” Yun Ye spoke.
“Because you can awaken multiple times under my Spirit Law interference… You are valuable, an invaluable Treasure. I only need you, and even if a divine being comes today, they cannot save you.”
The man in black robes did not mind revealing information.
He strode toward Yun Ye.
Even if he was constantly frozen, it was of little concern. More men in black robes would keep appearing, closing in step by step.
“A divine being cannot save me? So you are the man in black robes from the earlier Wenyun Ceremony, trying to turn me into a puppet?”
Yun Ye nodded silently, then struck down puppet after puppet.
“Is it because you have a trump card that you feel unafraid? You need not care too much about information; it is meaningless. Soon, you will lose all memories of meeting me, and continue to cultivate and grow just like before, eventually becoming a branch peak master, even the chief of the main branch, or even a Dao Lord.”
The man in black robes stopped. Yun Ye’s fist was right in front of him, countless threads wrapped around Yun Ye, sealing away all his power.
He had no means to resist; everything that happened earlier was merely a game—the power exceeded comprehension.
Yun Ye frowned, staring at the man in black robes.
The man in black robes lifted his hood, revealing his true face—an attractive, mature man with white hair.
His appearance was unfamiliar, a puppet controlled by Spirit Law, but Yun Ye said, “Qushuang Family…”
“Ah, that’s why I say, too much power isn’t good; it can easily expose one’s roots. If I used some of the law realms, even with the same methods, it would likely be unrecognizable, but if it’s me, even relying on a puppet body, I can still pinpoint the Qushuang lineage. That is quite troublesome,” the middle-aged man said.
“If you want to hide, there are always ways. Your black robe has already achieved that, hasn’t it?” Yun Ye gazed at him coldly.
“Hehe, how many can possess a Mystic Treasure?” the handsome middle-aged man replied with a smile.
On top of a Treasure, there exists a Mystic Treasure that possesses profound and remarkable qualities.
Mystic Treasures are usually born from nature; forging them artificially is extremely difficult, making them indeed rare finds.
“What a hassle. As a Powerful Figure of the Mystic Realm, even if I grow to become a peerless Spirit Law expert, what value is there?” Yun Ye remarked.
“Just you alone, indeed, holds no value. But there exist formations in this world. If there are eight peerless Spirit Law experts operating seamlessly, they could indeed help me achieve invincibility. The Mystic Realm lasts only for eight hundred years, and even with multiple extensions, there are limits. I need to find ways to break through that limit,” the Qushuang man said, pointing at Yun Ye and embedding a seed of Spirit Law within him.
“Lan Wuyin, not everything will go as planned; human calculations cannot compare to… heavenly calculations!” Yun Ye managed to say before falling into a deep slumber.
In response, Lan Wuyin merely laughed. Every supreme genius had said similar things to him.
But in the Mystic Realm, the will of man cannot rival that of heaven.
The Mystic Realm implies: profound and mysterious methods, detaching from the ordinary.
At this level, Lan Wuyin’s mastery of Spirit Law was so strong that it could even predict the future to a certain extent—though vaguely and intermittently, it was still a glimpse into the heavenly secrets.
With such a Powerful Figure in the Mystic Realm, how could a few small bugs hope to escape or cause destruction?
The distortion of space vanished.
Yun Ye opened his eyes, feeling no abnormalities; he had just defeated his opponent and shattered the formation. Now, he would assist Fenggong Yuan.
“Xiang Ying, there is no need for assistance. I will personally carve them into a thousand pieces! Otherwise, my heart’s hatred cannot be resolved!”
Yet when Yun Ye arrived at the battlefield, Fenggong Yuan refused; he wanted to act alone.
“Impossible! In this meager spiritual realm, how can they break the formation?”
The man in black robes was swallowed by the Storm in terror.
Fenggong Yuan kept his promise, tearing the man in black robes into pieces, every inch of flesh forcibly separated.
All other participants were killed on the spot, and there was no need to destroy their bodies beyond recognition.
After their deaths, they self-destructed, and All Things Silent couldn’t stop it.
“Two Spirit Law assassins in this arrangement are truly terrifying; we need to hurry to the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect.”
Yun Ye stated.
“The heir is right!”
Xiang Yan and the others responded, filled with lingering fear.
If not for Fenggong Yuan holding back the enemy with his Spirit Law strength, and with the powerful heir breaking the formation, the three of them might have perished here; they could not contribute to this battle at all.
