#2829 - Oasis in the wilderness

The disciples of the various lineages had no choice but to abandon all illusions, bypass the ancient green stone stele, and continue to advance along the riverbank towards the depths of the Immortal Palace.

As they walked, they saw another ancient green stone stele.

This was the third one.

The result was still the same as the second ancient stele.

The Emperor's Dao rhythm of the third ancient stele was even more profound than the second one, making it even more impossible to comprehend the Dao beneath the ancient stele.

What was recorded on the ancient stele was still a part of the Emperor's Scripture.

They could only look at it, and could do nothing else.

This feeling made everyone feel like they were being scratched by a hundred claws, making them extremely uncomfortable.

However, they couldn't change anything, and could only give up and continue to go deeper.

Along the way, on the riverbank, they saw a total of nine ancient green stone steles.

Each ancient green stone stele was engraved with a part of the Emperor's Scripture.

The disciples of the various lineages felt extremely uncomfortable.

For eight consecutive times, they watched the Emperor's Scripture right in front of them, but could do nothing about it, unable to gain any benefits from the inheritance left by the Emperor Realm existence, and were so depressed that they almost vomited blood.

"Alright, adjust your mentality.

Some things, some opportunities, if they don't belong to us, we can't force them.

Being able to feel the Emperor's rhythm and gain something under the first ancient green stone stele is already a great opportunity. What else do you want?"

The true inheritor of the Falling Immortal Dao Earth seemed to see it more clearly, and enlightened everyone, "Think about it, what is an Emperor!

The things left by that kind of existence are only qualified to be possessed by its inheritors.

In this world, from ancient times to the present, how many people can obtain the Emperor's inheritance?

That all requires someone with great luck, and at the same time, they need to be amazingly talented, one in a billion.

Ask yourselves, have you met the standards, do you have this qualification?

Therefore, in fact, we have already gained unexpected rewards, and we should be content, instead of being greedy for more!"

The disciples were silent when they heard this, but they couldn't help but think about the words of the true inheritor of the Falling Immortal Dao Earth.

Yes, ask yourself, do you have the qualifications to obtain the Emperor's inheritance?

Obviously, most of the people present definitely did not, and did not meet that standard in all aspects.

It is said that Hua Feiyu is the person who obtained the Emperor's inheritance.

What kind of immortal talent does Hua Feiyu have, and how amazingly talented is he, who in Yuzhou doesn't know?

Thinking about it this way, indeed, being able to comprehend the Dao under the Emperor's Dao rhythm this time is already an unexpected gain, and they should be satisfied, instead of dwelling on not being able to obtain more from the ancient Emperor's steles seen later.

……

Next, they walked a long way, and never saw another ancient green stone stele.

However, they didn't see anything else either.

Apart from mountains and rivers, there was nothing else.

"Besides the ancient Emperor's Scripture steles and those corpses hiding great ominous curses, is there nothing else in the Immortal Palace?"

"I thought there were various things left by the strong in the Immortal Palace, opportunities everywhere, but I never thought…"

Many disciples felt very disappointed.

The reality was too far from their expectations.

Although this trip had yielded no small gains, being able to comprehend something under the Emperor's Dao rhythm was an invaluable experience for cultivators.

However, apart from the Emperor's Dao rhythm, they hadn't seen anything else along the way, not even a low-grade immortal treasure.

"Don't be disappointed. There are still unexplored areas in the Immortal Palace. What we have explored so far is just a corner.

If you want to see immortal treasures in the wild areas of the Immortal Palace, I'm afraid you are daydreaming."

Lei Huang scanned the mountains and rivers and said, "Along the way, haven't you discovered that the earth here has no immortal spiritual energy, so it is impossible to grow any immortal treasures."

"Ah? How could this be? This is the Immortal Palace. How could such a situation occur in such a place?"

Many inner disciples felt unable to understand.

"Perhaps it encountered some special situation in the past. I feel that these soils have been refined by immortal magic power.

Perhaps the spiritual energy disappeared because of this.

However, if we can find the residence of the Immortal Palace Master or his core dojo here, we may be able to obtain what he left behind."

"Look, does that place seem strange?"

At this moment, several people stood at the entrance of a valley, pointing inside.

This valley was near the Great River, a very small valley. From the entrance of the valley, you could see the entire valley.

There was a waterfall at the deepest part of the valley.

Looking through the waterfall, what they saw was a wilderness.

"It should be connected to other spaces within the Immortal Palace.

Why do I feel a wisp of unusual immortal spiritual energy…"

Qi Xu came to the entrance of the valley, stared at the waterfall, and had a strange look on his face.

The true inheritors of the other three major lineages also came to the entrance of the valley, and also showed strange expressions.

They also felt it, it was a fluctuation of spiritual energy, and it was very pure.

"There should be immortal treasures in the space behind the waterfall!"

The inner disciples of the various lineages became excited.

After walking in for so long, they finally found a place with immortal treasures.

"Be careful, you have to learn a lesson. Don't act rashly. Wait until you are sure there is no danger before taking action."

Lei Huang instructed.

The world behind the waterfall was unknown. At this time, you could only see a corner of the wilderness from here, and you couldn't see anything else.

What the world was like after passing through the waterfall, and whether there were any hidden dangers, were all unknown, so they had to be cautious.

Then, they began to enter the valley and headed towards the waterfall.

Jun Wuxie quietly followed behind.

He knew that the mastermind behind the scenes should not be too far away.

The disciples of the various lineages were now full of expectations, thinking that they could obtain immortal treasures by passing through the waterfall to that small world.

But this was just wishful thinking.

The Immortal Palace already had an inheritor, who had taken over it.

How could he be so kind as to give all the resources inside to others?

If he was really so kind and generous, he wouldn't have set up a trap to lure everyone here.

……

After passing through the waterfall, there was a boundless wasteland. The sky was a bit dark, and the whole environment looked very desolate.

The ground was a desert, with almost no vegetation. Only occasionally could some scattered grass and trees be seen.

At the end of the wasteland's line of sight, the sky light there formed a clear contrast with the darkness here, and there was also a vast expanse of green.

That was an oasis.

After the disciples of the various lineages came to this place, they first looked around, and then locked their eyes on the oasis.

It was too conspicuous there.

Although it was very far away, the sky light there was very obvious compared to the darkness here.

The true inheritor disciples of the four major lineages were even more certain that the oasis was the source of the immortal spiritual energy.

They were very shocked in their hearts.

Even from such a distance, they could feel the immortal spiritual energy. They didn't know what kind of immortal treasures were in the oasis to have such an effect!

Several true inheritor disciples looked at each other, exchanged glances, and then led everyone towards the oasis.

"When you get to the oasis, you must be careful!

Although there may be many rare immortal treasures there, you must remember that where there are opportunities, there are usually dangers. Don't make a mistake and regret it for the rest of your life, burying your own life!"

"Understood."

The disciples responded in unison, their hearts unable to stop being excited. Were they finally going to see rare immortal treasures?

What kind of immortal treasures would they be?

But since they appeared in this Immortal Palace, they must be extraordinary.

Was it possible that the oasis was the place where the Immortal Palace Master planted and cultivated immortal treasures back then?

If that was the case, wouldn't that mean that there might be a medicine field there?

Then, how many rare immortal treasures would there be in the medicine field?

Thinking of this, the hearts of the disciples trembled with excitement.

……

Jun Wuxie hid in the void and looked at the oasis from afar.

The mastermind behind the scenes really knew how to choose a place.

The desert was barren, but the spiritual energy of the earth veins under the oasis was extremely abundant.

The reason why the wasteland was barren was only because the spiritual energy of the earth under the wasteland was all gathered to the oasis.

Therefore, the power of the earth veins in the oasis was very strong. Using this as a foundation to set up a killing array, the power could be maximized, and it could last for a long time, with a continuous supply of spiritual energy.

He was careful, setting up a killing array here, and also setting up a killing array near the Immortal Palace.

This was to put a double insurance on his plan, to prevent anyone from escaping from here.

With the layout of the two major killing arrays, even if someone escaped here and escaped from the Immortal Palace, they would be blocked by the killing array near the Immortal Palace, trapping them for a while, enough for him to solve the people inside and then chase out to solve the escapee.

"It seems that there is not enough time to solve the killing array."

Jun Wuxie pondered slightly, realizing that there was not enough time.

Once the disciples of the various lineages entered the oasis and reached the coverage area of the killing array, the mastermind behind the scenes would soon take action.

From this moment to the time when the mastermind behind the scenes activated the killing array, there would definitely not be a long time.

"Now I can only find another way to solve it…"

Jun Wuxie quickly headed towards the oasis.

Although he used the Little Void Technique, his speed was not slow.

The Little Void Technique was no longer the Little Void Technique when he first learned it.

Over the years, after his continuous improvement, the Little Void Technique no longer had the various drawbacks of the past.

For example, the previous Little Void Technique, once used, in order to maintain a good hidden state, had to slow down the speed to a much slower level than usual.

Now it was no longer necessary.

Although it was still impossible to be as fast as the usual speed, it was not too much slower.

Because the disciples of the various lineages were more vigilant, although they were full of longing for the oasis, and had been impatient for a long time, they still restrained themselves, slowed down their pace, and carefully observed their surroundings, for fear of any changes.

When Jun Wuxie arrived at the oasis, the disciples of the various lineages had only walked halfway.

Inside the oasis, the air was fresh, and every breath was full of vitality.

It was like a paradise, with clear mountains and beautiful waters. The streams and lakes were as clear as mirrors.

He followed the most concentrated source of immortal energy.

Before long, in the core area of the oasis mountains, he saw a field of medicinal herbs.

This place was located in a huge canyon.

The scenery inside the canyon was delightful, with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, murmuring streams, and flying waterfalls.

At the deepest part of the canyon, there was an open space.

There was a field of medicinal herbs, filled with a large number of immortal treasures.

These immortal treasures were divided into herbs and trees. Some were flowers, some were medicinal herbs, and some were fruits on trees, all crystal clear.

With so many immortal treasures, anyone would find it hard to resist the temptation at first glance.

However, Jun Wuxie's heart was calm.

He didn't believe there would be so many immortal treasures here.

These immortal treasures were all rare and of extremely high value.

If these were all real, it wouldn't be logical.

This was already the most central place.

The mastermind behind the scenes wouldn't set up a killing array in a place with so many rare immortal treasures.

Once the killing array was activated and a great battle broke out, the immortal treasures would be destroyed.

Therefore, he believed that these immortal treasures were not real.

At least, they no longer existed.

He activated his pupil technique to see through the illusion and directly perceive the truth.

Where were the immortal treasures? There was only a field of medicinal herbs filled with strange soil.

Even the light of the sky was no longer so bright.

Everything was just an illusion.

Strictly speaking, it wasn't an illusion, but a past scene that was reflected through certain means, using the earth's ley lines and magnetic field.

Combined with the effect of the rune array, it made it seem difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion.

Only by approaching the medicinal herb field and observing carefully could one slowly see the problem.

However, once one approached the medicinal herb field, they would step into the rune-based killing array of the mastermind, and it would be too late to discern the truth.

His gaze followed the medicinal herb field and landed on the cliff opposite the field.

Under the pupil technique, falsehood was removed and truth remained.

The originally empty cliff had a figure under the pupil technique.

It was a young man dressed in white, with thick, long hair scattered, without any hairband to tie it up.

His back view looked slender but not lacking in strength, and he had a detached temperament.

At this time, the young man in white was sitting cross-legged on the cliff, facing away from the medicinal herb field, with an ancient zither on his lap.

He was very quiet, like a statue, motionless.

Only his flowing long hair fluttered gently in the breeze.

Jun Wuxie stared at the back of the young man in white, vaguely feeling a strange sensation.

This back view seemed to have been seen somewhere, with a hint of familiarity, but also felt strange, very contradictory.

"Could it be a disciple of the Jinyun Immortal Sect?"

Jun Wuxie searched his memory, but couldn't recall where that familiar feeling came from.

There was no time for him to think more about it.

Time was already very tight.

He shifted his thoughts to the rune array underground, observing it with his knowledge of runes.

The entire rune array constructed here appeared in his mind, incredibly clear.

"For now, the only way is to cut off the earth's ley lines and the source of energy for the rune array."

The mastermind behind the scenes' level of runes was not higher than his immortal cultivation.

The reason he set up a rune array was because this place was special. He could borrow the power of the earth's ley lines, transform the power of the universe, amplify the runes, and also borrow some of the power of the natural field, greatly increasing the power of the rune array and allowing it to continuously release such power.

He had previously evolved the Primordial Runes to cut off the earth's ley lines in the Universe Cave in the depths of his sea of consciousness, but he was not in a hurry to inject the runes into the ground.

At this time, he was too close to the mastermind behind the scenes.

Obviously, the young man in white on the cliff was the instigator, the mastermind behind the scenes.

If he made a move at this time, it would be difficult not to be noticed.

The best time should be when the disciples of the various lineages arrived, and the young man in white's attention was on them, which would be the safest.

After he had evolved the Primordial Runes, he waited quietly, while observing the back view on the cliff.

Where exactly did that sense of familiarity come from?
