Chapter 209: Hurry and Help Me Escape
With these thoughts in mind, Ji Yang tried to pull the Corpse Mushroom out of the ground.
But when he placed his hands on it and prepared to exert force, he once again sensed a sign of danger.
Upon closer inspection, he realized that the Corpse Mushroom had somehow rooted itself in the ground, and disturbing it could affect everything around it.
This left Ji Yang dumbfounded; he couldn’t pull it out or chop it down.
What should he do?
The Corpse Mushroom continued to grow larger.
As it absorbed spiritual energy from the surroundings, its size increased, and Ji Yang couldn’t guess how massive it would become.
However, one thing was certain: the Corpse Mushroom would surely explode.
Once it absorbed too much spiritual energy, and the internal energy circulation could not reach a balance, that would be the moment of its explosion.
It was similar to a ticking time bomb.
If it weren’t growing in the sect, Ji Yang would really want to see how big this Corpse Mushroom could get.
Unfortunately, there were no "what ifs."
Staring at the gigantic mushroom before him, Ji Yang felt troubled again.
At this moment, Tian Zhu also sensed the immense danger. Seeing Ji Yang’s worried expression, he hurriedly said,
“I’ll go find an elder!”
“The elders must have a way to deal with this.”
Ji Yang didn’t stop him.
This mushroom had exceeded his ability to handle it; notifying the sect early on and holding a large memorial meeting would be more appropriate.
Now, Ji Yang began to contemplate the consequences.
He had heard that the Taiyi Sect practiced inclusion; regardless of righteous or demonic paths, they treated geniuses well and focused on cultivating them.
The Xuantian Sect could work as well; given his talent, even if he was an apprentice seeking guidance, there was no reason to refuse him.
The Diamond Sect would also be suitable; with his powerful physique, he might be considered among the best of the younger generation, especially since the remnant soul in the mirror had mentioned that the Diamond Sect possessed a treasure.
With these thoughts, Ji Yang quickly clapped his hands.
When in doubt, one could consult the magic mirror!
He had kept that ancient remnant soul precisely for this moment, hadn’t he?
If he couldn’t find a solution, perhaps others could.
Ji Yang swiftly took out the ancient copper mirror from his storage bag and removed the seal placed on it.
Once the seal was lifted, a surprised voice from the middle-aged man’s remnant soul echoed in the copper mirror:
“Wow, such rich spiritual energy.”
“Kid, where are you in such a wondrous place?”
“Senior, please come out and take a look.”
Ji Yang smiled in response.
The middle-aged man in the copper mirror did not hold back; he immediately projected a stream of primordial spirit energy to observe the outside situation.
When the middle-aged man saw the enormous mushroom before him, he was momentarily stunned:
“What a huge mushroom!”
However, as the middle-aged man sensed the internal situation of the mushroom, his external primordial spirit energy quickly retracted, and the copper mirror returned to its ancient appearance.
“Senior?”
Ji Yang cautiously spoke.
Before he could finish, the middle-aged man’s voice came from the copper mirror again:
“No need to say much, kid; hurry and take me to escape. It will be too late if we delay.”
“……”
Ji Yang was speechless but couldn’t help being astonished:
“Is it true that even a genius like you cannot deal with a mere mushroom?”
There was a brief silence in the copper mirror, followed by the middle-aged man’s proud reply:
“Humph, you don’t need to provoke me. A mere little mushroom could have been easily dealt with when my physical body was intact.”
“But now I am left with only a remnant soul, and you have struck me down a few times. How can I solve this?”
“This thing is too dangerous; I suggest you escape as soon as possible!”
“The rules of the righteous sect are too many; switching to another sect is also a good choice. Recently, my avatar sensed the soaring sword intent at Jingtan Peak. Your Master is probably returning as well; I advise you to run quickly.”
After saying this, the copper mirror fell completely silent.
Seeing that even this Ancient Soul couldn’t solve the issue, Ji Yang shook his head.
It seemed he could only notify the sect to prepare for the consequences.
As the Corpse Mushroom grew larger, spiritual energy from the heavens and earth began to gather rapidly. At this moment, even the ordinary disciples in the spiritual herb garden felt the changes, and the He Dao Sect outside was in an uproar.
“What’s going on? Where is the spiritual energy from Cuiping Peak?”
“Why isn’t my realm increasing but decreasing?”
“Where did the spiritual energy go?”
“Quickly report to the elders; there’s a change in the spiritual energy from the heavens and earth. Something big may happen!”
The outside world was in turmoil, with everyone from Peak Masters and elders to ordinary disciples sensing the disturbance.
While some disciples did not know the specific cause, the fact that the surrounding spiritual energy was diminishing was undeniable.
In the air above the peaks, countless elders took to the skies, flying towards the He Dao Sect Great Hall.
Many disciples and elders who were in seclusion also emerged, responding to this unique mental sensation.
There must be something significant happening within the sect.
In the He Dao Sect Great Hall, Li Daoyi’s expression turned serious, and he turned to Elder Tian beside him to ask:
“Have you not found the cause yet?”
“Soon, soon.”
Elder Tian infused magical power into the Xuan Tian Mirror, and the spiritual energy distribution map of the He Dao Sect instantly appeared before them.
Just as the various elders prepared to trace the source of the spiritual energy, a servant entered the Great Hall:
“Report to the Sect Leader, a disciple from the spiritual herb garden sent a transmission saying that there is a dangerous mushroom, urging the sect’s disciples to flee quickly.”
Hearing the servant’s report, all the elders in the Great Hall turned their gazes toward the servant who came to report.
In such a critical situation for the sect, did you really want the Sect Master to handle a mere mushroom?
Can’t you tell what is important and what is not?
The servant wanted to say more, but under the intense gaze of dozens of elders, he swallowed his words and quickly retreated.
Once outside the Great Hall, he mumbled to himself:
“But that disciple insisted repeatedly that it would be too late if we delayed.”
Inside the Great Hall, the elders heard the servant’s soft mutterings very clearly, but they didn’t pay much attention. They kept their eyes glued to the spiritual energy distribution map projected by the Xuan Tian Mirror.
On this projection, the sect’s spiritual energy appeared as thin lines displayed throughout.
The area with the most spiritual energy was the Twelve Peaks of the sect!
Except for Jingtan Peak, each peak had a large spirit gathering formation.
However, on the spiritual energy distribution map, the energy representing the Twelve Peaks was continuously dispersing, and even the gathering formations could not stop it.
Such a scene made the expressions of the elders grow more serious.
Following the trail of the dissipating spiritual energy, everyone could also see that all the spiritual energy within the sect was converging toward one location.
As the image shifted, the Xuan Tian Mirror quickly found the source.
“Spiritual herb garden!”
Looking at the center where the spiritual energy was gathering, the various elders spoke simultaneously.
Li Daoyi waved his large sleeves:
“Hurry!”
In an instant, several streams of Escape Light rushed toward the spiritual herb garden.
As they watched the Escape Light in the sky, many disciples below were filled with suspicion:
“Why are so many elders mobilizing at once?”
“What is happening in the sect?”
“Could it be that demonic path cultivators are invading in large numbers?”
Countless disciples speculated among themselves, wanting to investigate, but soon received transmissions from the elders of each peak, prohibiting them from leaving their respective peaks casually.
