Path to Heaven Chapter 189 – Vajra Five Elements Barrier

Chapter 189: Vajra Five Elements Barrier

“This Ninesongs Yellow Wind Formation originated from the Yellow River Sect in the past. Why would it be here….could it be the ones that bred those Black Drillworms are from the Yellow River Sect? As long as one takes a wrong step within this Ninesongs Yellow Wind Formation, one would be stucked here travelling in circles until they die. It isn’t wise to ride on the White Jade Crane, let’s descend to the ground first.”

Wei Suo obviously wouldn’t dare to tarry. He immediately stored the White Jade Crane and descended onto the grey desert.

“Don’t move recklessly!”

Upon landing, Han Weiwei was about to advance a step forward. Yet Wei Suo, who just heard the Old Man’s advice, immediately tugged Han Weiwei’s hand.

At this moment, Wei Suo was extremely nervous. He was only focused wholeheartedly on the Old Man’s instructions, as his hand gripped and kneaded Han Weiwei’s hand. Although he held no other intentions, Han Weiwei subconsciously felt her body turning stiff as a blush surfaced on her face.

After bashfully retracting her tiny hand from Wei Suo’s grip, she immediately listened to Wei Suo’s solemn instructions. “This is the Ninesongs Yellow Wind Formation. Everyone, keep close to me, refrain from making a misstep, otherwise you will be trapped here till your death; there would be nothing I can do.”

“Take a step left first.” The Old Man begun.

Wei Suo took a deep breath and took a step left. Consecutively, Han Weiwei and the others followed suit.

After a brief pause and calculating the next step, the Old Man muttered, “Continue five more steps to the left.”

After Wei Suo took his fifth step, the Old Man continued, “Three steps to your front.”

Under such concrete guidance by the Old Man, Wei Suo travelled, step by step, through the NInesongs Yellow Wind Formation.

“What’s going on? Why’s it getting so hot?!”

“Could another formation array be overlaid onto this Ninesongs Yellow Wind Formation?! Impossible!”

All of a sudden, the Old Man cried out in disbelief. Wei Suo’s brows instantly hopped in astonishment as he came to a halt.

RIght ahead, was a field of red light, resembling that of a blazing inferno. Waves of sweltering hot wind came rushing into his face.

“This is…..”

As they followed the Old Man’s directed path, the eyes of everyone present widened greatly.

Amidst fiery red glows ahead, a queer looking plant, that was as tall as a human and appeared like a mulberry tree, could be seen. Its leaves and bark were all red, and were emitting a scorching temperature as though fire was about to erupt from within.

“Firecloud Mulberry Tree! How sinister!” The Old Man exclaimed aloud.

Wei Suo was similarly startled back to his senses.

For such a large-scale formation array like the Ninesongs Yellow Wind Formation, it was impossible to infuse any other formation arrays alongside it. If one draws out earth flames, the Ninesongs Yellow wind Formation wouldn’t be able to work effectively.

Nevertheless, the Firecloud Mulberry Tree that emits fire energy itself definitely wouldn’t influence the confusion of this formation array. Therefore, even if the Old Man was familiar with the formation array, he now had to consider the distance between them and those trees. As such, they had to proceed exceedingly slowly to navigate through the fields of Firecloud Mulberry Trees. In this manner, it was practically like walking through a sea of fire for the cultivators.

“Travel through here?” After Han Weiwei came back to her senses, one could observe her countenance turning pale. Evidently, walking along the periphery was fine, but the fiery might of venturing deeper through the center was definitely not inferior to a low-grade Spirit Cla.s.s artifact. Even Wei Suo’s Half-Spirit cla.s.s White Cold Jade Plate or ice element skill talismans wouldn’t be able to withstand the heat of those Firecloud Mulberry Trees.

Without saying anything else, Wei Suo summoned out a pearl.

When this pearl was summoned out, the rushing heat wave, that was blowingly threatening to flatten an area of Han Weiwei’s that was smaller than her senior sister, suddenly transformed into a cooling breeze. In this instant, the surrounding heat and sweltering gust were all blocked off.

“Voidflame Magic Pearl?”

Han Weiwei glanced at Wei Suo with astonishment, In the past, she always thought that this brat knew nothing except for being a lecher. Yet now, she was starting to realize, not only was he knowledgeable over many things, his storage of random items was truly exceptional. Right now, she started feeling as though she didn’t really understand him previously.

“O granny!” After summoning out the Voidflame Magic Pearl, Wei Suo felt an unspeakable joy as he cautiously followed the old man’s direction.

If not for this Voidflame Magic Pearl, Wei Suo and gang may really be trapped to death in this formation array.

Moreover, after encountering sky-toppling Black Drillworms, this Ninesongs Yellow Wind Formation and the Firecloud Mulberry trees, who knows what other malevolent snares lay ahead.

Instead, Wei Suo nearly fainted from frustration moments later. It seems that the heavens truly understood what he was thinking. After travelling out from the forest of Firecloud Mulberry Trees, the yellow winds similarly dispersed.

After finally breaking free from this Ninesongs Yellow Wind Formation, a golden light screen now appeared right ahead.

The stone forest that supposedly hosted the Golden-Spotted Ginseng, was now right before his very eyes. Yet everything was being obstructed by this golden light screen.

To his surprise, at the forefront of this golden light screen, there was a single gigantic yellow crystal pillar. The crystal was as tall as dozens of humans, and would require two matured adults to hug it fully.

“Vajra Five Elements Barrier!”

Once this golden light screen appeared, the Old Man cried out defeatedly.

“Vajra Five Elements Barrier!”

Upon hearing this name, Wei Suo similarly hopped in astonishment.

Vajra Five Elements barrier. This was a name he only came across in ancient records.

“What’s wrong?” After half a night of torment, Han Weiwei was feeling extremely downcast. Yet now upon viewing Wei Suo’s astonishment, Han Weiwei inquired while feeling like crying.

Wei Suo glanced at Han Weiwei before speechlessly replying, “This is the Vajra Five Elements Barrier. There is no other method of breaking through this without a Spirit Cla.s.s artifact’s might. Moreover, it requires consistently striking it for two days before it can be shattered. If one stops midway, one will have to restart.”

After this explanation, Han Weiwei really wanted to burst into tears. “Continue striking for two whole days? Can’t we dig a hole underneath instead?”

“Of course not.” Wei Suo shook his head. This Vajra Five Elements Barrier wasn’t an ordinary light screen. If one could simply dig a hole under this defense formation, it wouldn’t be accoladed as one of the most outrageous formation defense. It wouldn’t even be mentioned in ancient records of current times.”

“Then what should we do?” Han Weiwei asked Wei Suo.

“What else can we do, hit it!” Wei Suo dispiritedly summoned out his Rushing Thunder Mallet. Frankly speaking, when he heard the Old Man calling out its name, he was already br.i.m.m.i.n.g with the impulse to abandon his plan and leave.

However, he also noticed a dense dark fog had enshrouded the top of this valley, and it didn’t seem like it would disperse. Evidently, it was a restriction to conceal this particular valley. Moreover, it seems that sounds of spell casting within wouldn’t be leaked out either.

Furthermore, Wei Suo was becoming increasingly curious over the mysteries hidden inside, because clearly, there shouldn’t be a Blood Dragon living in this valley.

At this moment, Wei Suo couldn’t help but admire the cultivator who established all these restrictive formations.

This was because for other cultivators, even if they could deal with the ma.s.s of Black Drillworms, navigate through the Ninesongs Yellow Wind Formation and those Firecloud Mulberry Trees, everything would turn into futility upon arriving here. A normal cultivator would at most bring about a few dozens of Energy Recovery Pellets. Even for tens of cultivators taking shifts, they wouldn’t be able to sustain two full days as most of their Energy Recovery Pellets would be exhausted by then. As such, bypa.s.sing this Vajra Five Elements Barrier was simply a vanity.

As she observed Wei Suo acting, Han Weiwei started circulating her energy with a gloomy countenance.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Regardless of skill techniques or artifacts clashing into this golden light screen, the light screen remained immovable. One could only observe the glowing radiance of that gigantic golden crystal pillar flickering faintly.

The four of them continued a.s.saulting as they took shifts. After two full days, without warning, countless cracks erupted through the golden crystal pillar abruptly. Piank! The pillar suddenly shattered and crumbled down.

Then, this incredibly unbreakable golden light screen released a golden shimmer before fading into oblivion.

Wei Suo and Han Weiwei exchanged a glance of unprecedented joy. In the past, the Old Man and Wei Suo merely heard of this Vajra Five Elements Barrier but hadn’t broken through it personally.

Right now, after shattering this barrier, they realized that one needed to install this barrier once again. This meant that after this Vajra Five Elements Barrier had been established previously, n.o.body had infiltrated ever since.

“Let’s go.”

After scanning the interior briefly, Wei Suo and company cautiously ventured in. They first stopped by the crumbled golden crystal pillar.

After inspecting a single shard of crystal, Wei Suo involuntarily issued a bleak smile.

This shattered crystal shard was actually an extremely ordinary yellow water crystal. To ordinary cultivators, it could be used as mere ornaments and nothing else. Yet, this person actually devised a method to construct this Vajra Five Elements formation barrier with yellow water crystal.

After tossing away the useless yellow water crystal, Wei Suo continued heading into the stone forest.

Han Weiwei and gang followed closely behind.

Approximately walking for over 3,000 metres later, several crumbled stone pillars emerged in Wei Suo’s sight.

Not far from those crumbled stone pillars, was a s.p.a.cious ground spanning 30 plus metres. This empty ground was filled with luscious green gra.s.s and appeared thriving with spirit energy.

A sliver of astonishment suddenly formed on Wei Suo’s face. Right to the left of this empty ground, above a crumbled stone pillar, one could see a white skeleton leaning over it.

Ten metres around that white skeleton, a patch of the gra.s.s field was actually beaming with a peculiar tri-colored cloud of sunset hues!

Those tri-colored cloud of sunset hues didn’t glow above the fields of gra.s.s. Instead, they were emitted by a golden plant.

“This is?!”

The green gowned Old Man was unable to bear this, and immediately materialized and floated out. Of course, from the looks of this plant, it was undoubtedly the Golden-Spotted Ginseng! However, the Golden-Spotted Ginseng normally grows out only three ginseng fruits. As for this Golden-Spotted Ginseng, 7 ginseng fruits actually sprouted from it! Furthermore, those ginseng fruits were golden and carried a tinge of scarlet.

When those 7 ginseng fruits radiated together with golden, red and violet glows, they appeared like a tri-colored cloud of sunset hues.
