Chapter 301: She Is Just A Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, She Doesn’t Have That Much Ability To Fight
However, the moment Fushuang touched the Nine-Orifice Lotus, it was abruptly repelled!
Ming Zhaoshuang was also sent flying to the ground.
Her back struck hard stones. Before Ming Zhaoshuang could even feel pain, she looked up and around. Seeing that the surroundings were silent, she breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s fine, she still had time.
According to Shen Yuyin and the others’ descriptions, there was a restriction on the Yellow Springs Jade Pool, which is why they were discovered when picking the Nine-Orifice Lotus. But now it seemed Sang Biao and the others had completely held off those people, so she didn’t need to worry about being discovered.
Thinking this, she approached the Yellow Springs Jade Pool again, looking at the extremely complex runes on it. Her eyes curved into a smile, revealing a knowing expression.
Indeed, the Yellow Springs Jade Pool also had a formation set up by Rimushan.
It should have been set up by the person who set up the Calamity-Protecting Long Sha Formation. After all, if Wei Shuo had set it up, Tan Zhu wouldn’t have been able to easily pick the Nine-Orifice Lotus when she came to Youdu Mountain.
This formation was meant to prevent anyone from easily picking the Nine-Orifice Lotus and nullifying the Calamity-Protecting Long Sha Formation meticulously set up by the formation setter.
It’s a pity that the Yellow Springs Jade Water couldn’t be obtained easily, and she didn’t have time to waste on the Yellow Springs Jade Water. Otherwise, she could have taken the Yellow Springs Water first to awaken Feng He, and then there would be no need for all this trouble.
Now, she could only choose to break the formation first, then slay the lotus platform, and finally take the Yellow Springs Water.
Ming Zhaoshuang lightly clicked her tongue.
In a way, she was quite familiar with this formation; it was the seal in her mind from back then.
This seal was called the “Mountain Overturning Sea Overturning Seal.” It was said to be a seal left behind from an ancient remnant scroll, and it was not complete. However, after being modified by the Former Palace Master of Rimushan, Zhen Hanliu, it could become the Mountain Overturning Sea Overturning Formation.
A year ago, she couldn’t break this seal and could only resort to using her bloodline to unlock it. Later, she spent a lot of time decomposing this formation, which led to great improvement in her Talisman Arts path. Now, she could break this formation without using her bloodline, so encountering this formation in Youdu Mountain was considered her good luck.
One could only say that Rimushan was her kin, and she was Rimushan’s nemesis.
However, before breaking the formation, she wanted to know one thing.
Ming Zhaoshuang thought so, and with a flash of her Fushuang Sword, she cut open her palm. Her blood poured down.
After a long while, there was still no movement from the Yellow Springs Jade Pool. It seemed her guess was correct; this formation was likely not set up by Zhen Hanliu.
But who could it be?
Dong Fuyu? Bu Chengle? Or some other Elder of Rimushan whom she didn’t know?
Ming Zhaoshuang’s thoughts stopped there. She summoned the Mountain River Brush and began to sketch directly towards the formation. Golden script continuously flowed from the brush tip, like dancing butterflies, gradually decomposing this formation.
She could indeed decipher this formation, but it was a Heaven Rank formation or above, so she needed to spend some time.
But she believed her teammates would buy her that time.
She just needed to keep moving forward.
One stroke, two strokes, three strokes… three thousand strokes!
The tassel by Ming Zhaoshuang’s ear brushed against her cheek, reflecting the face in front of her, which became even more radiant and refined, clear and dust-free. She curled her lips into a faint smile and laid down the final stroke.
“Mountain Overturning Sea Overturning Formation, break for me!”
Instantly, the Yellow Springs Jade Pool churned like a turbulent sea and boiled intensely. The black and white seemed to flow, making the entire Nine-Orifice Lotus appear even more charming and alluring, swaying with the gentle breeze.
Ming Zhaoshuang’s toes lightly tapped, stepping across lotus leaves. She severed two or three Nine-Orifice Lotuses with one sword strike and put them into her storage bag.
It couldn’t be helped; Flowing Radiance was used to suppress the formation, so she could only use the cheapest storage bag.
However, before she could finish her actions, she suddenly heard a startled cry.
“What are you doing?”
Ming Zhaoshuang tensed, and she looked up, only to see a mortal woman with a belly five or six months along, holding a silk handkerchief, looking at her timidly.
She had an excellent appearance, but her whole body was already drained of color by the immortal embryo. She was thin and pale, clearly a living mortal, yet she appeared more terrifying than a demon from hell.
Fortunately, she wasn’t a cultivator.
Ming Zhaoshuang breathed a sigh of relief. She casually cast the Mute Incantation on the woman and applied a Defense Talisman to her. She then said, “I’m saving you all to get out. Don’t make a sound, don’t speak, okay?”
The woman made two muffled sounds, as if in response.
Ming Zhaoshuang ignored whether she responded or not. The formation break was imminent, and she didn’t want any more complications. Her Fushuang Sword moved, and she once again slashed down another lotus platform.
“Wuwuwu…”
The woman’s voice grew louder.
Ming Zhaoshuang didn’t even look up. “Alright, I’ve added a Defense Talisman for you. Rest assured, you won’t be harmed even if this formation is destroyed.”
However, at this moment, she remembered something.
If she could transform these talismans so that mortals could use them, then she could directly draw talismans and have mortals deliver them, eliminating the worry about their safety?
This was truly an oversight on her part.
With only two lotus platforms remaining, she had no intention of paying attention to this pregnant woman.
By the time that shadow appeared before her, Ming Zhaoshuang was still somewhat caught off guard, even stiffening and trembling.
She looked up and met the eyes of a Void Refinement Stage cultivator.
Good news: they weren’t the two Pill Cultivators on guard.
Bad news: it was a more aggressive Artifact Cultivator, at the early Void Refinement Stage.
Ming Zhaoshuang’s smile was a little stiff.
If a miserable life was a talent, she’d rather not have such a talent.
“Wuwu… wuwu…”
The human woman was almost frantic.
Let her speak!
She wanted to tell this immortal fairy that there was a restriction on the Yellow Springs Jade Pool. If someone triggered or broke this Yellow Springs Jade Pool, everyone would surely know.
Alas, this immortal fairy was kind-hearted, brave, but why was she so thick-headed!
Ming Zhaoshuang, who was being called thick-headed for the first time, also regretted it immensely. However, she didn’t have time to dwell on her mistakes. Subconsciously, she controlled Fushuang and slashed down another lotus platform.
Only one left!
Ming Zhaoshuang’s eyes lit up with joy. Just as she was about to control Fushuang again to strike down the last lotus platform.
As long as it was cut down, everyone was below the Deity Transformation Stage. As a proud Talisman and Sword Dual Cultivator, was she afraid of an Artifact Cultivator?
“That Yellow-Haired Brat from the Nascent Soul Stage actually dared to compete with me.”
The Artifact Cultivator sneered and swung his hammer towards Fushuang, scattering sparks in all directions, causing it to let out intermittent long cries.
The sword and cultivator were connected in heart. Ming Zhaoshuang instantly felt a sharp pain in her chest, indicating that this person’s cultivation was far superior to hers. She was no match for him!
At the same time, he formed a fire-elemental spell towards Ming Zhaoshuang, not yielding an inch.
Ming Zhaoshuang’s peach-blossom-colored skirt hem instantly ignited with blazing fire, burning her flesh. The pain surged, and her face became contorted.
However, before she could react, the iron hammer fell heavily towards her.
Ming Zhaoshuang wanted to escape, but under the pressure control of this early Void Refinement Stage cultivator, her steps were constantly slowed down, making it impossible to dodge.
She was just a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator. She didn’t have that much ability.
