The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 487 - 282 Seal the Mountain_2

He took a deep breath and then released another shocking news: "The White Tiger voluntarily allowed himself to be sealed back then, serving as the guard of the Shadowless Demon. Its escape is not a major issue!"

After these two sentences, the entire place fell silent. After a while, someone cautiously asked: "What is the origin of this Shadowless Demon that even the White Tiger was sealed with it?"

Nangong Zhen solemnly declared: "This Shadowless Demon was the prime culprit of the Middle Ages War ten thousand years ago." As everyone gasped, he earnestly bowed to all directions and said, "We in Guangcheng Palace have been suppressing demons for many years, and we absolutely cannot allow it to escape and cause havoc in the outside world. I ask for everyone’s understanding!"

Those present were mainly leaders or deputies from the Various Immortal Sects and Demon Sects, and their sects had more or less records of the ancient secrets from ten thousand years ago. At this moment, as they heard Nangong Zhen speak, their expressions instantly shifted.

After a while, Chaoyun Sect Leader Bai Qing stepped forward and said, "In that case, Chaoyun Sect is willing to extend our stay at Guangcheng Palace for another ten days. After ten days, whether Nangong Sect Leader opens the Great Formation or not, we must depart!" The underlying meaning being, if the palace is not opened in ten days, he would attempt to break the formation by force.

With Chaoyun Sect expressing their stance, other sects quickly voiced their agreement. Smaller sects and Loose Cultivators kept silent. This place, was not for them to speak.

Nangong Zhen, receiving the promise from the various sects, felt a slight relief in his heart.

A cultivator then asked, "Nangong Sect Leader, you mentioned that the Shadowless Demon could attach to someone’s soul, but how will Guangcheng Palace distinguish and capture it?"

Nangong Zhen said, "In Tianlan Courtyard, there is a secret treasure called the Spectrum Mirror, which can reflect one’s soul. The Shadowless Demon may attach to someone’s soul, but it cannot hide from the Spectrum Mirror." He looked towards the vast sky and asked, "Where are the Daoists of Tianlan Courtyard? Please show yourselves."

At that moment, the sky was clear, and his words echoed across the mountains. However, after a long while, still no one responded. He frowned and transmitted to the elder at Guest Welcoming Peak: "Did no one from Tianlan Courtyard come to attend the ceremony?"

The elder looked down, took out the guest book from his bosom, scanned it with his Divine Thought, and replied, "Yes, Tianlan Courtyard has sent four people to attend. I arranged their accommodation on Heluo Peak."

Within Guangcheng Palace, why couldn’t they be seen now? Could they have been smashed by a boulder just now?

Nangong Zhen furrowed his brows and after a long contemplation, still could not guess that the crucial four had been captured by Ning Xiaoxian and were now imprisoned in the God Demon Prison, he simply instructed two Void Refining Stage elders near him, "You must set out immediately to Tianlan Courtyard to borrow the Spectrum Mirror."

These two accepted the order and left. Nearby, a cultivator curiously inquired: "Nangong Sect Leader, you said that the Shadowless Demon can attach to someone’s Divine Soul, aren’t you worried that the two elders you sent will be possessed?"

Nangong Zhen waved his hand: "The deeper the cultivation, the more refined the Divine Soul, and the less likely to be taken advantage by the demon. It has just escaped from ten thousand years of suppression and is weak. I believe it cannot attach to those with profound cultivation. According to my estimate, at most, it can only possess the body of those at the Golden Core Stage or below."

He sighed: "When the White Tiger escaped, I should have realized this, otherwise I wouldn’t have been deceived by its outward strength. Jade Staff Peak is isolated from the outside world, no Spiritual Energy can be transmitted there, and these two demons weaken by the day. Even though the White Tiger has escaped, I must capture the Shadowless Demon."

After the White Tiger broke free, staging such a huge show was merely a trick to confuse the enemy, the primary goal was not revenge but to quickly escape and recuperate its energy. Decades ago, he would have seen through the opponent’s intentions at a glance, is it now truly because he has aged?

Miluo suddenly interjected: "Senior Nangong, since the White Tiger has escaped, why couldn’t the Shadowless Demon possibly attach to it and escape together?"

As soon as this was mentioned, many people turned their heads, clearly very concerned about the answer. Indeed, if the Shadowless Demon had already escaped, then why continue to seal the mountain at Guangcheng Palace?

Nangong Zhen’s expression turned quite bizarre: "The White Tiger, the chief villain, repels all evils and even possesses soul-devouring abilities; thus, the Shadowless Demon is unable to attach to it. In this world, only it could be sealed together with the Shadowless Demon and remain unharmed." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Shortly after the mountain was sealed, Guangcheng Palace had already dispatched dozens of teams led by elders, each taking disciples to patrol around Guangcheng Palace to search for the White Tiger’s whereabouts.

Nangong Zhen tried to maintain his composure, although he was hugely annoyed inside. Everyone else here had ten days, but he alone did not. In two more days, the dreaded Heavenly Tribulation was still waiting for him. How could he just walk away from such a mess, and what would become of Guangcheng Palace then? Besides, after such a major event, could he really face the Tribulation with no worries or distractions?

These two demons, their timing to break free was truly impeccable!

Suppressing the anxiety in his heart, he activated his Divine Skills and said to everyone, "The inheritance ceremony is temporarily cancelled, please return to your peaks to rest. The round trip to Tianlan Courtyard takes only four days. After we borrow the Spectrum Mirror, I must request everyone to come and test it. The daily arrangements for everyone during this period will be well taken care of by Guangcheng Palace."

Everyone understood that at this point, the inheritance ceremony was probably off, thus they said their farewells and returned to their respective mountains.(To be continued.
