Chapter 888 - Chapter 888 Chapter 888 Watching the Fight

Chapter 888: Chapter 888: Watching the Fight Chapter 888: Chapter 888: Watching the Fight Speaking of chanting scriptures, there were many stories in Daoist Sects–other sects had them too, but Qingcheng excelled in this art.

At that time, the fervor to destroy the “Four Olds” was overwhelming; it was a national movement that could not be stopped, and any resistance would only lead to disaster.

Qingcheng was also a major target at that time. If it were some branches that wanted to rise up, they would surely scatter like monkeys from a fallen tree.

But Qingcheng emphasized the preservation of Daoist traditions; they were a branch with aspirations and persistent beliefs.

Of course, what was even more rare was their ability to adapt and respond appropriately.

However, there are many smart people in the world; such BUG-like methods were not unique to them–as long as something was useful, it would spread quickly.

The Red Guards Cadets, of course, were not convinced and decided to chant too, thinking, “Who’s afraid of whom?”

But in this matter, defying was not an option. The Taoists of Qingcheng were determined to maintain their traditions and had put in a lot of effort.

They relied solely on chanting scriptures, and Qingcheng’s Daoist Sect managed to suppress those who wanted to destroy the “Four Olds.”

Later on, this incident became a humorous tale for Qingcheng. Otherwise, why would Zhang Dongyuan say that their treasures were preserved by chanting scriptures, making Guan Shanyue laugh? Only those who had lived through that era would understand.

However, Qingcheng had no choice; they were too famous. Places like Wangwu, though being First Cave Heaven, had less influence in The Secular World and were hard to reach; they didn’t need to chant scriptures, just hiding was enough.

But let’s not digress. Generally speaking, Qingcheng in modern times understood better how to integrate with The Secular World.

Feng Jun was hearing about this curious anecdote for the first time and found it quite enlightening; his impression of Qingcheng changed somewhat–acknowledging their persistence and flexibility was indeed admirable.

After chatting for a bit, everyone casually had some vegetarian food in the Daoist Temple’s backyard before heading straight for the back mountain.

As previously mentioned, Danxia Heaven had constructed a path leading to the big stone; it was inconspicuous but not too difficult to travel.

It took about an hour for the group to reach the location of the green stone; the last two or three hundred meters of the path was slightly more challenging.

Then Director Guan handed the scroll to Feng Jun, who held it in his hands, opened it, and with a sweep of his Divine Sense, the air above the big stone twisted, and the Stone Gate appeared once again.

Elder Guo and Feng Tianyang were somewhat prepared and managed to maintain composure, but the other people were stunned, especially Elder Qiuchen from Zhongnan Mountain, who couldn’t help exclaiming, “Is this, is this… the art of ‘Creating Something Out of Nothing’?”

Being an experienced man, he wasn’t as shocked when he saw Feng Jun casting spells empty-handed. However, the way this secret place appeared truly challenged his psychological limits–“Creating Something Out of Nothing” was a legendary technique of the Immortal Family.

Zhang Dongyuan was also stunned for a while before he spoke, “This… might not be ‘Creating Something Out of Nothing’; it seems more like a technique of spacetime distortion?”

Indeed, a sect capable of keeping up with the times, they could even combine reality to derive a relatively “scientific” explanation.

Feng Jun handed the scroll to a young Daoist nun and took out an emergency light, which he handed to Zhang Caixin, then spoke in a deep voice, “I’m going to lead the way and eliminate those two apparitions at the otherworldly stage. Caixin, be careful to protect yourself.”

He had already informed her about the situation inside; he wasn’t worried about her encountering any accidents.

However, upon hearing this, the others were taken aback. Even Zhang Dongyuan, who was usually composed, let out a soft gasp, “Otherworldly stage ghosts… and two of them?”

“I’ll go in with you,” Guan Shanyue declared without hesitation. Having encountered those two ghosts before, she knew their weaknesses and was not very afraid, “I can’t help much in a fight, but as the steward of Danxia Heaven, I can’t lack the courage just to be present.”

Elder Guo glanced at her, asking doubtfully, “Are you sure… you won’t hinder Master Feng?”

“Of course not,” Guan Shanyue replied proudly, “It’s not my first time going in. I know how to protect myself.”

“I want to go in too,” Tang Wenji said immediately, “Director Guan, that shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

With her statement, the others also expressed their interest in going in to have a look, even Elder Qiuchen, who was nearly seventy, was keen.

“To have a look is certainly no problem. Danxia Heaven is not a stingy Daoist Temple,” Guan Shanyue stated straightforwardly, “But those who want to go in must follow my commands as the steward; otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

She even did not say what might happen unexpectedly. She simply declared she would be ruthless and firmly control the discourse of this secret realm–those who obey would be friends, those who do not would suffer, even if they avoid the ghosts inside the Stone Gate.

She had her own calculations, and few among those present did not understand. But honestly, no one really planned to take action against this secret realm. After all, they all belonged to the offshoots of the Daoist Sects, with representatives from so many factions gathered together, they always needed to maintain a certain image.

Not to mention that Magu Mountain had even invited the renowned Feng Jun to preside over the event. Even ignoring Feng Jun’s previous accomplishment of defeating Kunlun, his skill of forming the Thunder Decree bare-handed had already shown how terrifying his strength was.

Therefore, everyone repeatedly expressed that they must follow the commands of Director Guan, and thus they gradually entered the Stone Gate.

Inside the Stone Gate, it looked almost the same as last time, but after more than half a year, a few Nether Bees had appeared and were casually killed by Feng Jun.

Upon reaching near the hall, Feng Jun asked everyone to stop, and then he quietly entered the mobile phone realm.

In Qiuchen Market, he was still in the small courtyard he had purchased. Feng Jun felt it was not convenient, so he started an all-terrain vehicle and drove beyond the city to a small grove. After entering the grove, he took out the Flame Armor he had bought from Bai Luan.

The Flame Armor was only effective at the high cultivation level of the Dust-Free Phase. Previously his cultivation level had not been sufficient, but this time, it could finally be of use.

After putting on the armor, he felt around for a bit. Not detecting anything unusual, he directly withdrew from the mobile phone realm.

Guan Shanyue and the others merely saw a blur before their eyes, and when they looked at Feng Jun again, he was already wearing a bright, sparkling armor with gold interspersed with dark red. They couldn’t help but pause, “This is…”

“It’s a Fire Attribute Armor,” Feng Jun casually explained, “specifically effective against all kinds of ghostly entities. I got it on purpose.”

He did not elaborate further but left Guan Shanyue and Zhang Caixin to explain the precautions to everyone, while he himself sat down to meditate, preparing for the upcoming battle.

After Guan Shanyue explained the precautions, she instructed everyone to hide around the corner of the corridor and set up several cameras–clearly, she had come prepared.

About ten minutes later, Feng Jun stood up and walked into the hall, pacing slowly but steadily toward the opposite stone wall.

As he was about five to six meters away from the Stone Gate, two dark shadows flickered suddenly on the stone wall, rushing towards him rapidly.

From a distant corner, the people watching through the mirror trembled unanimously at the sight. Even though they had been warned about this possibility, witnessing it firsthand was still shockingly impactful.

With a flick of his wrist, Feng Jun released the Immortal Binding Rope, directly binding one shadow, then he drew the Stone Mace and fiercely fought the other shadow.

His plan was to trap one shadow first then forcefully vanquish the other. He did not believe that with his Flame Armor, he could not defeat his opponent.

Unfortunately, his plan was not very effective. The shadow’s combat power was strong, and its movements were exceedingly swift. While it could not inflict much damage on him, it was difficult for him to effectively attack the shadow.

Worse still, the shadow had long-range attack capabilities. Even the one bound by the Immortal Binding Rope could spit out chilling evil spirits from its mouth. The evil spirits condensed into sharp spirit arrows in its mouth and whistled as they shot towards Feng Jun.

This was somewhat troublesome.

Seeing Feng Jun caught in a tough fight, Zhang Caixin suddenly rushed forward and triggered a Thunderclap Talisman.

However, the Thunderclap Talisman, which could severely injure Yue Yao, had almost no effect on the shadow. The hit shadow only showed a barely noticeable pause. Such an attack, did not even draw its aggro.

Well, expecting Zhang Caixin to draw much aggro was practically impossible. Although Feng Jun’s attacks were not highly effective, they were still far stronger than Zhang Caixin’s.

“Eh?” Elder Guo couldn’t help but let out a slight gasp, “Isn’t it said that ghosts fear thunder and yang energy the most? Could it be that it’s not a ghost?”

“It’s definitely a ghost,” the Taoist priest from Zhongnan Mountain replied with certainty. Although he did not come from any major sect, Zhongnan had always been known for producing cultivators, and even a Loose Cultivator might have some astonishing heritage.

He then sighed, “But that’s a ghost of the Dust-Free Phase… it’s at the Dust-Free Phase.”

Reminded by this Thunderclap Talisman, Feng Jun bellowed, “Caixin, fall back!” Then, shaking his hand, he shot out three Thunderclap Talismans. Taking advantage of the opponent’s momentary daze, he fired a Blazing Flame Talisman.

Initially, he had not intended to use the Blazing Flame Talisman because it was said that ghosts scorched by blazing flames would drop Nether Beads of inferior quality, and he hoped to sell a couple of high-quality Nether Beads for a good price.

But he had not expected to find himself embroiled in such a bitter struggle…
