The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 486 - 282: Seal the Mountain
This White Tiger Roar, which is inherently one of the Great Demon’s specialties, affected almost everyone present at the scene.
But regardless, the Great Formation of Guangcheng Palace was finally completed. Standing in the formation, Nangong Zhen loudly addressed the White Tiger: "I am Nangong Zhen, the seventy-fourth Sect Leader of Guangcheng Palace, why has the Divine Monarch suddenly appeared?"
The White Tiger, glaring with its fierce eyes, sized him up and down: "Where’s that old man Guanglingzi, when did he die?"
Nangong Zhen frowned and said: "Senior Guanglingzi resigned from the position of Sect Leader seven thousand years ago and wandered around, never to appear again."
The White Tiger laughed loudly and said: "Then he must be dead. Let me ask you, did he give any instructions about what to do with Yuhu Peak before he left?"
Nangong Zhen was stunned for a moment, then responded lightly: "Senior Guanglingzi asked us to find a way to re-seal the Divine Monarch’s guardians!"
Upon hearing this, everyone’s heart skipped a beat. What is the Divine Monarch’s guardian? Is there something else being suppressed by this White Tiger? 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
The White Tiger sneered: "Do not think the mountains have no cycles. These long ten thousand years are already over, have you figured out a way?"
Nangong Zhen’s expression became stern, and it took him a long time before he nodded: "Yes."
"You’ve figured out a way? Then why don’t you let me out?"
Facing the White Tiger’s questioning, Nangong Zhen was momentarily at a loss for words.
The White Tiger roared furiously, causing everyone’s ears to buzz, "If that’s the case, I won’t be polite anymore! I will repay Guangcheng Palace tenfold for the suffering I have endured!"
Bai Qing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Something’s not right!" He drew his longsword and slashed out.
A sword flickered like lightning, shining with the brilliance of thunder, and had the power to repel gods and ghosts, but seemed feeble against the massive White Tiger.
But to everyone’s astonishment, the sword light that surged forth from the sword effortlessly pierced into the heart of the tiger!
Could it be just a paper tiger? Everyone was amazed. The White Tiger could break free from the constraints of Yuhu Peak and move boulders weighing billions of tons as if they were nothing, how could it be without power?
The form of the White Tiger shook twice and then suddenly disappeared, along with many peculiar phenomena around it, the surroundings returned to a peaceful and bright scene; if not for the ruins of Yuhu Peak, who would know that a catastrophic event had occurred here?
"Illusion technique? Not good, it’s escaping!" Nangong Zhen’s complexion changed dramatically, he shouted loudly, "Guangcheng Palace, heed my command: Seal the mountain!"
This shout, using his Divine Skills, resounded clearly throughout the territory of Guangcheng Palace. In a moment, the four highest peaks shimmered with white light, and rainbows appeared in the sky. Everyone could see with their naked eyes, a layer of invisible light shield forming above Guangcheng Palace, with only occasional bursts of flowing light.
Guangcheng Palace had indeed activated the Sealing Mountain Array. Each two hours this array was maintained, it consumed a huge amount of Spirit Stones.
This hundreds of feet long tiger was just an illusion, so where did the demon sealed under Yuhu Peak go? Naturally, it was trying to escape the territory of Guangcheng Palace. If this suppressed demon has time to recover and regain its breath, who would it target first?
Of course, Guangcheng Palace.
So he must do everything possible to stop the demon. Nangong Zhen also had an even deeper worry, that is—
As soon as he ordered to seal the mountain, there were those who disagreed. Amidst a sky full of flying rainbows, a red light flashed, it was a cultivator with sunken eye sockets. His face looked terrible: "Nangong Sect Leader, I humbly serve as the Valley Master of Yanyue Valley. May I ask, what is the purpose of this mountain sealing by your sect?"
"Indeed. If your sect needs to capture the Great Demon, we can all help, but is this mountain sealing really necessary?"
"It has been delayed for so long, the demon might have already escaped from Guangcheng Palace, sealing the mountain now might be too late."
...
There was a wave of discussion and dissatisfaction. Once the Sealing Mountain Array was activated, those outside couldn’t enter, and those inside couldn’t leave. Most of the well-known sects had sent people here, and if it got out that Guangcheng Palace had trapped everyone by sealing the mountain, it wouldn’t sound good for their reputation.
Moreover, as cultivators are all proud and unruly, how could they willingly let Guangcheng Palace trap them within the mountain?
The Vice Sect Leader of Guangcheng Palace, Feng Wenbo, also transmitted to Nangong Zhen: "Sect Leader, all sects of the world are present, this action might be inappropriate!"
Inappropriate, he of course knew it was inappropriate, but was there a better solution? After all, this situation was totally unexpected, from the moment Yuhu Peak started shaking, he should have sealed Guangcheng Palace. This way, the demon would not have been able to escape either.
Nangong Zhen gave a wry smile, then loudly said: "Fellow Daoists from various sects may not know this. The demon suppressed under this mountain isn’t just the White Tiger, there is also another formless and invisible demon that can attach itself to others to survive. Even if the White Tiger escapes, it doesn’t matter, the important thing is that this formless demon can’t escape!"
