Heaven Refining physique-Chapter 189: Found It!

In just the blink of an eye, Ze Yu came forward.

He was the only Mid Stage cultivator present here. They had divided themselves into three groups to search more effectively.

Fighting a Mid Stage Grade 7 beast wasn’t hard for him, but defeating it was definitely a monumental task.

All humans who have reached the Heavenly King Realm are geniuses in themselves. They have the ability to fight beasts of the same cultivation realm as long as the beast’s bloodline isn’t too good.

Ze Yu wasn’t afraid. Beasts can’t use attack talismans—but he could, and he had them in abundance right now. They had prepared them specifically for this border search.

He didn’t waste time fighting with it, and the moment the beast appeared, he took one out.

...

"That is a Rupturing Thunder Talisman, a Late Stage Grade 7 talisman. It can easily injure a beast of Mid Stage Grade 7 to the point of death. They sure are being wasteful."

Zhi Hui spoke while sighing.

Talismans aren’t easy to make. Making an attack talisman of Grade 7 would require a similar amount of spirit qi to the attack inscribed on the talisman.

And infusing that amount of spirit qi is only possible if the materials used in making the talisman are of a similar grade, which is costly, as no one has a 100 percent success rate in making talismans.

It is more true for higher-grade talismans. Using higher talismans is really considered a waste. Even killing this territory lord wouldn’t recover the loss.

As for those talismans that use natural qi, they are even more complex—like Minor and Major Teleportation. They might not require rare materials, but drawing them is even more difficult. Only talisman grandmasters have a chance of producing them.

...

The moment the territory lord saw the talisman, its instincts warned it. It hissed loudly, and a big boulder formed in front of it.

Ze Yu’s expression didn’t change. He waved his hand while also activating the talisman.

A massive spike of gold appeared due to the wave of his hand, and it collided with the massive boulder, while the thunder strike from the talisman passed unrestricted after the previous two attacks nullified each other.

The territory lord tried to move away, but even with its speed, it wasn’t able to dodge the attack.

HIIISSSSSSSSS!

Only its screams were heard as they were drowned in a torrent of lightning.

It fell down, almost flattening the small mountain it landed on.

Ze Yu didn’t stop and created a sword out of gold and hurled it toward the head of the territory lord.

The sword struck exactly in the middle of its head, ending whatever life it had left.

"Dammit, encountering a beast of Mid Stage Grade 7 in the outer areas is concerning."

Usually, only Early Stage Grade 7 territory lords make their territories in the outer area, so for a Mid Grade one to stay here means that the overall strength of beasts in this Forbidden Zone has improved.

This can hinder their original plans, because there was a chance they could encounter a Late Stage beast too. Then, their losses would be tremendous.

"Move faster. We have to cover this area quickly."

Ze Yu went down and only took the blood core before starting his search again.

They weren’t far from the mountain, so they would definitely find it in a few minutes with their method.

There were a total of twenty-three Heavenly King Realm cultivators here and almost double Void Reversion cultivators. This much was enough to form a sect in the Eastern Region.

After a few minutes, a cultivator sent his spirit qi towards a mountain that looked too ordinary to be someone’s abode. It was nestled between two big mountains. After sending the spirit qi, he moved on, as he had expected it to be another simple mountain. But he was stunned to see his spirit qi getting stopped by a barrier.

"I FOUND IT!"

He yelled, and immediately the others stopped whatever they were doing and looked towards him, then at the small mountain he was pointing at.

Ze Yu arrived beside him in the blink of an eye and sent his spirit qi toward the mountain. And as expected, it was stopped by a flickering barrier that only became visible when spirit qi touched it.

Since spirit beasts don’t use protective barriers, there was only one explanation for the presence of this barrier here—it was created by some human cultivator. And given how no sane human cultivator would come to this area to make an abode, it was definitely the place where Huan Caiyi and the others were staying.

"Surround it."

Ze Yu spoke calmly and took out two talismans and tore them. He didn’t hesitate to call others. Although with his strength, he could easily kill or capture Huan Caiyi and the others, he didn’t want to take any chances this time.

Last time’s mistake had cost them immensely. If that idiot from Ethereal Cloud Sanctuary hadn’t taken action alone previously, then maybe this mission would have already been completed and their disciples wouldn’t be dead by now.

All the cultivators surrounded the mountain. And since they were surrounding the top mainly, they were already inside the range of the array.

Huan Caiyi watched all this with an amused smile and spoke.

"Should I just activate it manually and kill them? When others arrive, they’ll think it was a cultivator from Azure Sky Sect who made the same mistake. This would create even more discrepancy between these sects, right? Well, only if anyone would survives, that is"

"I don’t think that will be a good idea. Ze Yu is still being cautious."

Zhi Hui spoke. They already knew the identities of most cultivators present here.

She was right. Ze Yu was standing far away from the mountain. He was still skeptical that it was another trap created by Huan Caiyi and Zhi Hui.

The array Zhi Hui had created was self-triggering. The moment hundred cultivators entered its range, it would activate by itself.

She had chosen hundred as she didn’t have an inkling of how many would come. If the number had been lower, then it would have already activated—making their next plan totally wasted.

But seeing these cultivators, she was sure the other sects would have similar numbers. That’s how they balanced among themselves. It was quite amusing given they were acting like friends right now.

They didn’t have to wait long. Another group arrived—it was from Golden Lotus Temple—and shortly after, cultivators from Ethereal Cloud Sanctuary came too.

"So it’s this mountain, huh... They sure have hidden like rats for so long."

Bo Wen spoke after listening to Ze Yu.

"Don’t be too happy. We still don’t know if they have left or not."

Ze Yu spoke.
