Chapter 1630: Chapter 955
Ye Xuanlong lay in wait, biding his time to break free from this formation. The reason his flying treasure couldnât navigate out was that his abilities werenât strong enough; his skill in refining spiritual energy wasnât powerful enough!
He could use the Jade Pendant Space to teleport; after all, it was a gift from an Immortal, giving him this confidence!
The fierce ghosts were formidable even in daylight, and even more so at night when their power surged!
Ye Xuanlong was very patient, observing the situation outside while comforting his family, reassuring them that they could leave at daybreak!
He would come up with a way to break this formation!
From previous battles, his foster parents and three brothers felt that their abilities were lacking. Filled with anxiety and self-reproach, whether traveling or cultivating, whenever faced with formidable foes, they had to rely on the youngest, Ye Xuanlong!
They felt useless, even with cultivation resources at hand. They hadnât put in enough effort or grasped the Heavenly Dao in the secret manual!
Their practical skills were weak; their previous lack of battle experience was due to being in seclusion for seven years!
In those seven years, fortunately, they had enough patience. The allure of abundant and beautiful life held their leaping hearts in check!
Also, before, at home, they couldnât eat their fill, but during seclusion, they could feast three times a day, each meal with meat, without craving it. If it werenât for the cultivation Path of Longevity, they would be content to live in the caves for a lifetime!
This thought merely flickered in their minds. Not yet grown, the eldest among them was already a youth. In rural areas at this age, they could marry, but they perhaps shouldnât rush to find partners due to their cultivation!
In reality, while cultivating, they had to strengthen themselves not just for personal reasons, as they had family responsibilities!
This responsibility was to help the youngest brother find his biological parents and to exact revenge on their enemies!
In Ye Xuanlongâs final year of retreat, he explained to his family the reason behind their mountain seclusion?
Of course, it was related to his identity; enemies had already found him. Without the masterâs help, they couldnât escape their peasant fate, that year they would have starved in the village!
Nor could they help the villagers through that yearâs toughest times!
By then, Ye Xuanlong had learned various spells, but they werenât strong enough to annihilate enemies in one move!
In that last year, the whole family had to learn spells capable of defeating foes and to utilize acquired skills amongst each other!
Crafting their own deadly weapons, various tools, and weapons to bring misfortune to enemies!
Apart from studying alchemy, they had to learn medical skills and the functionality of various herbs.
Ye Xuanlong noticed that ghost became fiercer and more frenzied in the dark of night!
The entire mountain was enveloped by a formation. That fierce ghost kept thrashing the air, trying to strike down or reveal the invisible prey!
Screaming continuously, the prey suddenly vanished, driving the fierce ghost crazy. So close to capturing the perfect body, just a little more, just a little more to catch them!
He now knew the aura wasnât from one person but several youthful ones!
Donât think that withholding breath would mask your scent from him!
He was a fierce ghost, the strongest devil, an Immortal. Had he not temporarily fallen and become trapped in this mountain, he wouldâve caused the outside Cultivation World to perish!
For over ten thousand years, the fierce ghost had been trapped here. At first, without aura, the surrounding mountain, though weak in spiritual energy, had a spirit vein that he absorbed, gradually restoring himself!
His soul hadnât reached its peak strength; over more than a millennium, heâd been seeking a body, trying various ways to escape, not originally a master of formations.
He thought his powerful soul force would help break through the formation, but he was restrained and sealed within this mountain. Although awakened now, having harnessed a spirit vein and enslaved a dragon soul for himself!
âYou little brat, come out! Come out! If you donât, Iâll destroy you! Your old man is here, your grandpa is here! If you donât come out, Iâll spank you until your butt is pulp!â
Ye Xuanlong tutted internally:
âThinking you can provoke me, you old ghost, I wonât be coming out just because of a few insults. The place Iâm at now is safe, and youâre incapable of getting to me, hahaha. You think that could help you seize my body? Pah pah pah!â
Ye Xuanlong swore at him in his heart, knowing he wasnât truly a child but rather a soul reborn in this body, aided by an Immortal!
The old ghost was formidable, possibly without the help of his chosen assistance!
But he was confident. Now, he was in the Jade Pendant Planting Space; wasnât this so-called powerful soul unable to find him?
Ye Xuanlong speculated that his space might restrain ghosts!
He wouldnât venture out until tomorrow!
Ah, a good nightâs rest!
There were still a few mountains unexplored, so he should go to those, shouldnât he?
Thinking of this, Ye Xuanlong shifted the Jade Pendant Space, his teleportation happened to transfer them all out of the mountain and that particular formidable formation!
The other dark mountains at night were different from the one that had trapped them before. Though all were shrouded in darkness, that previous mountain vanished in the dark!
