Of the human champions of the Immortal levels who arrived, only four were present, and here they assembled.
While the true number of the Lost Races champion of the same class remained unknown, but no one ever doubted that they were more than the humans.
That placed the human side against uneven odds in the contest for the ancient ruins.
And now, with the advent of this stranger Samsara, the human champions were discussing asking him to join them to resist the Lost Races together.
For this reason, Gao Mohan and the two other champions were reluctant to have a spat breaking out between Liu Jiuyuan and Samsara that would kill their plan in its crib.
Theirs was only a temporary alliance—one which forged only by their mutual benefit—and anyone who would put any risk to the gravy train—even if it was one as powerful as Liu Jiuyuan—they would try to stop him.
"I believe we must first be clear on one thing, Liu. I
The Lius were once a family of great power and prestige.And the last time Chu Xun encountered them, he knew nothing about the fact that the Lius were backed by another powerful entity: the Liu Main House.That the Liu Main House could produce an Immortal-level champion meant that the Lius he once destroyed were only the branch of a greater house with more than a thousand years of history and heritage. That alone made them very, very dangerous.Chu Xun turned stiff and frosty.He would never forget how his then-demise was caused by just the mere unproven accusations of Chen Wuhui, the First Presbyter of the Heaven Tao Sect. That culminated in the imprisonment of his parents and the subsequent blindness of his mother at their hands. To make things worse, they had even placed curses on his parents in an insidious plot to have them killed.Then more than twenty years ago, the Battle of Xuanji Mountain made Hua Qingwu lost
Even with their powers put together, the six champions of the Lost Races failed to break the enchantment that guarded the ruins. Their failure hardly left smiles on their faces and the aloof demeanor of Samsara only made their frowns deeper."What do you want?" With this particular summit occupied by the people of the Faith of Divine Radiance, Gao Mohan was master here and he should ask the questions."We're here to request an audience with friend Samsara," said Kong Liqun as courteously as he could.It wouldn't take a fool to know that the Lost Races champions have come because they had failed to undo the enchantment that barred all entry into the ruins.The corners of Chu Xun's lips curled with satisfaction. He glanced briefly at the six champions with a smirk."What do you want?""We would like to request for your help to undo the enchantment," said Kong Liqun.Chu Xun's eyes glinted with a
The next day.Chu Xun and the brittle confederacy of humans and Lost Races champions came together to the Hanyang Peak. The soft morning fog veiled much of the upper half of the summit, but it did little to obscure the rainbow-like radiance shining at the top.They barely got near and the enchantment, sensing their arrival, shimmered as if to greet them, enveloping the entire mid-hill to bar them from climbing. But they could see that the myriad-colored lights were pouring out of a stone portal.The entryway hewn from the rock of the mountain looked ancient and old with hardly any engraving or markings. Just a simple set of doors made of cold, heavy granite.The left door was ajar and that was where the lights were pouring out from.Chu Xun stepped forward and examined the enchantment.All six mutant champions stared quietly in silence, their eyes gleaming with anticipation.Gao Mohan and his
Chu Xun looked around but could not see anything for it was totally dark.He tried to explore the place with his divine sense, but he was shocked to find that there seemed to be some kind of restraint that his divine sense could only cover the area within ten meters.He realized that the owner of this ancient relic had to be a Taoist Almighty.Chu Xun began to take the owner seriously.Taoism had a long history, and Chu Xun thought he should show his respect to the owner of this relic with awe in his heart.After all, in his heart, Taoism was worthy of respect.He could look down on anyone but those who killed the evil and monsters and who upheld justice.Observing through his divine sense, he chose a direction and groped his way forward in dark.The place seemed to be boundless, and he had walked for a long time but hadn't reached the end.He started pondering. Taois
The Flaming Lotus Enchantment of Purification started running. However, it was not easy to purify those Evil Shadows because the process would be extremely painful.Though the essence of the purple lotus was as thin as a needle, it contained extremely powerful fire elements, which were very violent and could easily melt rocks.Gao Mohan and the others were all at the Immortal Level. Though their bodies were not as hard as copper or iron, they had profound cultivation and could withstand the purifying power of the purple lotus.With cold sweat on their foreheads, Gao Mohan and the other two trembled slightly, their faces twisted, looking like they were in great pain.When the purifying power of the purple lotus got into their bodies, they felt like a burning needle was stabbing and melting their flesh and blood. This kind of pain would last for a long time.Gulp!A bubble broke in the magma lake, but it did
"We positively felt our physical properties being enhanced, Samsara? What happened?" asked Gao Mohan."Spirits and wraiths might be foul beings, but the Purplish Lotus Enchantment of Purification can do wonders by cleansing any foul aura that passes through it. In fact, one could argue that the sanctified aura is now fresh spiritual energy. That is why, upon consumption, you could feel yourselves being invigorated and strengthened. That is good news."All three of them heaved sighs of relief. Their journey into this place had been nothing but marvelous and weird. They had seen nothing of the like before, in spite of their being Immortal-leveled champions, and only after this explanation, they could finally breathe easily."Your mastery in the magic of enchantments really is impeccable and rare, my friend," Gao Mohan commented frankly, giving credit where it was due."Just a simple trick or two, that's all I'm good at."
Sapphire and Violet talked as they strode, although they never once let down their guard.But unbeknownst to them, Chu Xun was following right behind them. With his magic, they could never have known.Through halls and corridors, the women passed through until they reached a deserted corner of a remote chamber inside the castle. Violet looked around carefully to make sure no one was watching, then she quickly twisted an orange-glazed lamp hanging from a pillar.Rumble! The ground trembled and a portal opened at where a flat wall once stood.Sapphire and Violet peered around again cautiously before slipping inside and the door slowly slid shut.They did not see Chu Xun perching right at the top of the pillar. He had been there, watching every move they had made. He waited for minutes before he finally glided down and he twisted the glazed lamp.The stone door groaned open and Chu Xun dove insi
It would take a week for the Soul-curing Flower to reach full bloom.The castle was a figment of magic; an enchantment conjured by Periwinkle Sol. In fact, everything – including any non-existent servants and guards in the castle – were all contrivances of Periwinkle’s magic except for the sisters.Once again, Chu Xun felt awed by his magic.But more importantly, Scarlet no longer tried to stop Chu Xun from taking the Soul-curing Flower. But he would first have to defeat the Flaming Qilin first.Scarlet’s other sisters joined them. Chu Xun beheld the beauty and charms of all seven of them; they really were so gorgeous that true enough, kings and lords would gladly trade away their kingdoms and power for any of them."Violet, release those men," instructed Scarlet.Violet nodded, but before she could leave, Chu Xun stopped her.All seven of them were perplexed by this, but Chu Xun proffered no
