Chapter 154: The Power of Magical Tools
In just a moment, Ji Yang had dragged many unconscious disciples behind him.
Soon, he arrived in front of the last person, who was none other than Senior Brother Luo, a Golden Core disciple.
Ji Yang specifically left this person for last to avoid losing control!
As Ji Yang approached, whether it was due to his own strong will or the screams of the other disciples, Senior Brother Luo broke out of his illusion.
As he just emerged from the fantasy, Luo Li’s eyes looked dazed:
“Who is he?”
“Where is he?”
“What does he want?”
Confusion filled Luo Li’s mind.
But soon, he regained his senses and glanced around at his surroundings.
When he saw Ji Yang approaching with a long string of bodies, a hint of fear flickered in his eyes!
“What… what do you want?”
“It’s time to leave!”
Ji Yang’s words were as gentle as a spring breeze, but Luo Li felt a chill run down his spine and immediately tried to escape.
But Ji Yang wasn’t going to let him go. He used primordial spirit energy to crush him and, with the iron pick in his hand, quickly knocked this Senior Brother Luo unconscious.
With everyone tied together by the long rope, Ji Yang no longer hesitated and flew full speed towards the mine’s exit.
Despite carrying dozens of people, Ji Yang’s speed remained undiminished.
The surrounding tremors grew increasingly violent, and many of the accompanying ores began to detach slowly from the vibrations.
Any stones that threatened to fall on Ji Yang or behind him were shattered by the sword energy emanating from him.
This was the advantage of having powerful primordial spirits—he could multitask effortlessly.
However, as Ji Yang neared the mine’s exit, he frowned tighter and tighter.
It seemed he might not make it in time?
At this moment, the formations below had completely collapsed, and the weight of the entire mountain bore down on the open ground, producing a deafening roar.
Suddenly, a white light appeared ahead; it was the mine’s exit.
But as Ji Yang moved forward, that white light grew weaker and narrower.
The entire mountain was sinking along with the collapse of the space below.
Ji Yang’s expression turned grave as he glanced back at the “bodies” he was dragging.
If he abandoned everyone, he could certainly escape the mine safely.
However, if he continued to carry them, it was very likely that none of them would make it out.
He would be fine, but the others wouldn’t necessarily be the same.
But doing so would render all his previous efforts in vain.
Give up?
Ji Yang’s expression carried deep contemplation.
No!
Either do not save them, or save them completely.
If he had already made a decision, how could he easily give up?
If he abandoned them today, he would likely do the same in the future when facing similar situations.
Giving up now was not just abandoning these people, but abandoning his own heart!
Ji Yang’s gaze instantly became determined; one who fights against the heavens must have an indomitable spirit.
In the next moment, Ji Yang mobilized his True Essence and fully activated the Ascension Technique. The surrounding white mist rose, creating an ethereal scene where Ji Yang appeared almost ethereal, dragging a long string of “bodies” as he soared!
“How many are still inside?”
At the camp outside the mine, Elder Lu looked grave as he questioned the disciple beside him.
“Reporting to the Elder, according to the recent roll call, there are still twenty-eight people yet to come out of the mine!”
“Twenty-eight?”
Elder Lu muttered, feeling a heavy sigh swell in his heart.
Twenty-eight inner disciples may seem like a mere grain of sand in the vast sea, but the He Dao Sect reached its current standing thanks to every single inner disciple, allowing it to thrive endlessly.
Although the sect now had dozens of elders with substantial power and even powerful Peak Masters, both elders and Peak Masters rose step by step from the ranks of inner disciples.
If they easily abandoned dozens of disciples today, they would be able to abandon even more in the future. The number of disciples in the sect was limited; eventually, they would be exhausted.
This was also why the He Dao Sect could become one of the top righteous sects and a fundamental difference from the demonic sects—under normal circumstances, they did not abandon any inner disciples.
“Alas, they probably won’t come out.”
Looking at the collapsing mine and the ever-narrowing entrance, Elder Lu let out a helpless sigh.
The weight of the Xuan Iron Mine was so great that, even if one were at the Nascent Soul Stage, a cultivator at the Spirit Transformation Stage, or even one at the Unity with the Dao stage might struggle to lift the entire mountain.
Unless several top elders acted with all their strength.
Although he had already informed the elders earlier, this location was still some distance from the sect, and the elders could not arrive quickly. By the time they did, it might already be too late.
“Have you seen Ji Yang?”
Elder Lu asked again.
The disciple shook his head.
Elder Lu sighed even more deeply.
This was truly a disaster; among these twenty-eight disciples, one was even Peak Master Ye’s prized student—if they perished here, how would he report this?
Staring at the mine’s entrance, which was close to complete collapse, Elder Lu felt a chill in his heart.
Inside the mine, Ji Yang moved like a swallow, with a long line of “bodies” trailing behind him.
But as he looked at the dwindling exit, Ji Yang too sighed.
There was no time left.
In a moment of crisis, Ji Yang’s eyes lit up.
He immediately took out the ancient copper mirror, the immobilizing mirror, from his storage bag!
Although this item was called an immobilizing mirror, it could freeze any scene reflected in its surface.
As for whether it could immobilize such a large mine, it was worth a try; if it couldn’t, he would have no choice but to escape on his own!
Ji Yang infused True Essence into the copper mirror he took from his storage bag.
With the middle-aged man gone, the copper mirror was easily controlled by Ji Yang.
At the moment he grasped the copper mirror, a strange flicker crossed Ji Yang’s eyes; this mirror was actually a defective product.
In this critical moment, Ji Yang did not waste time getting caught up in doubts or explorations.
Instead, he urged the copper mirror with all his strength, envisioning the scene of the mine in his mind.
As Ji Yang visualized, a segment of the mine gradually appeared within the mirror, depicting the scene he was describing.
However, with Ji Yang’s detailed description, the spiritual energy within him surged out like flowing water.
The requirements for this mirror’s magical power were unexpectedly high; it was not something a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator could easily handle.
But Ji Yang was not an ordinary Nascent Soul Stage cultivator; besides possessing a powerful body and primordial spirit, his dense True Essence and rapid recovery were also characteristics of the Feather Transformation Ascension Skill.
At this moment, however, the rate at which his magical power was consuming compared to the rate of recovery was trivial.
Even so, Ji Yang could still harness a considerable amount of power from the copper mirror in his hand.
“Not enough!”
“I need more!”
Feeling his magical power rapidly depleting and soon to be exhausted, Ji Yang’s expression became somewhat gloomy.
At that moment, he recalled what the middle-aged man had said earlier.
In addition to spiritual energy, the energy from magical items could also enable the ancient copper mirror to unleash its corresponding power.
He did not have any magical items, but he possessed dozens of superior flying swords.
Though not magical items, it seemed the ancient copper mirror could still absorb their energy.
Whether it could or not would soon be discovered.
Ji Yang quickly took out a superior flying sword from the Heaven’s Secret Pearl.
As soon as he withdrew the flying sword, the ancient copper mirror trembled slightly, responding to the craving for immobilization.
It worked!
