The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1180

Chapter 1180: Chapter 1177: Covetous Chapter 1180: Chapter 1177: Covetous Shen Luo silently noted down the way the Bashe trio activated the array and conveyed the situation to the Little White Dragon through the Hui Ling Cup.

“Great, with the casting situation of these three, breaking through this prohibition will be much easier,” said the Little White Dragon, greatly pleased upon hearing the news.

In fact, the Bashe trio were not careless, it's just that the activation of the Qiankun Xuanjin Array was extremely difficult, and the three demons had to clearly observe each other's progress to coordinate effectively.

Moreover, the array was extremely powerful, and the trio did not believe anyone would be able to sneak in undetected, which led them to relax a bit.

Shen Luo continued to observe the casting process of the Bashe trio and relayed it to the Little White Dragon.

Just when he was almost done relaying the information, his expression suddenly changed. He increased his mana to power the Invisibility Talisman on his body and quickly recited the incantation for the “Leaf Concealment” technique, merging into the dense forest around him and completely erasing any trace of mana fluctuations on his body.

Just as Shen Luo had concealed his presence, over a dozen long streaks of escape light shot over from the distance, landing not far away, revealing the figures of more than a dozen human cultivators.

These people were all in silver robes, appearing to belong to the cultivators of the same sect.

“Human cultivators? Coming at this time, could they also be here for the Ginkgo Spirit Fruit?” Shen Luo's gaze shifted as he observed the group carefully.

The cultivation of these people was not weak; the leader was a square-faced middle-aged man whose cultivation had actually reached the early True Immortal stage.

Three people stood behind the square-faced middle-aged man, all of whom were at the Mahayana stage. One of them was a gray-haired old man with a cunning look on his face; another was a red-haired woman with a cold demeanor, her eyes flashing with a hint of murderous intent when they opened and closed; the last one was a teenager who looked to be only in his teens, with a peach fuzz over his lips and an air of arrogance.

The rest of them were cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage.

“Is the Ginkgo Divine Tree located here?” the square-faced middle-aged man asked a thin youth at the Nascent Soul stage beside him.

“Yes, I came here once with the young master, but at that time there wasn't this yellow prohibition in front,” the thin youth quickly said.

“Great Elder, according to our investigations, the Ginkgo Divine Tree is now occupied by a major demon within Yunmeng Marsh, and the Ginkgo Spirit Fruit is about to ripen. This yellow prohibition might have been set up by it,” the gray-haired old man walked up to the square-faced middle-aged man and said.

“It's normal for that demon to lay down a prohibition since the Ginkgo Spirit Fruit is a heavenly spiritual kind that will automatically fly away when ripe. This prohibition seems quite remarkable, but our He Mountain Sect is adept at the art of breaking prohibitions. You all go and investigate all around and find the method to break the prohibition as soon as possible!” the Great Elder instructed after a moment's contemplation.

The gray-haired man and the others replied affirmatively and scattered to inspect the yellow prohibition.

The thin youth was about to fly off when the Great Elder stopped him.

“What about Jin Fei and the rest? You said Jin Fei asked you to stay in command in the small city outside the marsh while he led the others into Yunmeng Marsh to continue investigating the Ginkgo Spirit Fruit situation. How come we searched all the way here without seeing a single person?” the Great Elder asked.

“This subordinate has not lied. A month ago, Young Master Jin Fei and Mister Yuan indeed left me in the city to stand guard while they led others into Yunmeng Marsh. However, the young master mentioned catching a few Misty Flower Spirit Charms, perhaps they took a wrong turn…” the thin youth hurriedly said.

“Young Master, Mister Yuan… Could they be the ones slain by the white-clad Snake Demon…” Shen Luo, hiding within the dense forest, thought to himself upon hearing their conversation.

“Hmph! As the young master of our He Mountain Sect, he indulges all day in the pleasures of women, and you, as his personal guards, did not even attempt to counsel him!” the Great Elder exclaimed in anger upon hearing this.

“Please forgive me, Great Elder. I have long advised the young master, but with his temperament, he would never listen to us guards. Please discern this, Great Elder!” the thin youth was shocked and immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowing incessantly.

“Let's settle this matter later, and then I will deal with you!” the Great Elder frowned and, after a moment, snorted coldly and flew away.

The thin youth then got up, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and followed.

Shen Luo watched the two figures' backs, a flicker in his gaze.

Once everyone had gone far from there, he quietly retreated several miles and took cover again in a dense forest.

Although the Invisibility Talisman was powerful and the Leaf Concealment Technique was mystical, the Great Elder of He Mountain Sect had reached the Early True Immortal stage, so he was still somewhat worried if he stayed too close.

The people of He Mountain Sect conducted a search and soon discovered that the prohibition before them was far stronger than they had anticipated, and it even gave them a feeling of not knowing where to begin.

“Great Elder…” Everyone looked toward the middle-aged man.

“This prohibition is indeed extraordinary, but don't worry. Anticipating the unforeseen on this trip, I had earlier requested the Breaking Ban Beads from the Sect Master,” the Great Elder said with a light smile, flipping his hand to produce a light purple round pearl, which sparkled with a misty glow and looked quite mysterious.

The others, seeing the purple bead, rejoiced greatly.

The Breaking Ban Beads were the treasured heirloom of He Mountain Sect, meticulously refined by the founding Sect Master over his lifetime. Containing magical and wondrous abilities, it could permeate various formation restrictions, interrupt the flow of spiritual power within them, and offer He Mountain Sect cultivators opportunities to break through the arrays.

In the beginning, when the sect was established, He Mountain Sect was not large, but over the years, relying on the Breaking Ban Beads, the sect had broken through many relics and secret realms, gaining many benefits, allowing the sect to continuously grow.

Several of those relics had been left by cultivators from ancient times, with incredibly strong prohibitions, but all were broken by the Breaking Ban Beads. With this pearl in hand, there was nothing to fear from the current prohibition.

“Set up the Prohibition Breaking Array!” barked the Great Elder.

Upon hearing this, the rest busily went to work, pulling out various formation flags and discs and swiftly arranging a hexagram-shaped array near the Yellow Light Curtain.

Although the Breaking Ban Beads were a marvel, they required the cooperation of an array to unleash their maximum power.

The Great Elder flashed into the array, and it instantly burst into vast swaths of purple light. The bead in his hand shone even more brightly, its astonishing fluctuations felt even from a great distance.

The Great Elder's hands moved rapidly, casting one magic spell after another into the Breaking Ban Beads. A thick beam of purple light shot out from the bead, striking the Yellow Light Curtain.

The Yellow Light Curtain immediately began to ripple as if a stone had been dropped into water, sending circles of ripples spreading outward, its yellow glow slowly starting to fade.

Seeing this scene, the people of He Mountain Sect showed expressions of excitement.

At the same time.

Within the Qiankun Xuanjin Array, the Bashe trio immediately sensed the commotion outside.

“Someone is trying to break the prohibition!” Lian Shan declared gravely.

“All the demons in Yunmeng Marsh have been subdued by us. Who would dare to meddle with the prohibition? Could it be that Mirage Demon?” Gui Cang's expression changed.

“Dare it oppose us?” Lian Shan narrowed his eyes, a cold gleam flashing by.

“The Master had previously disciplined that Mirage Demon, setting three rules. The demon was allowed to stay near the Ginkgo Divine Tree, absorbing some of the Divine Tree's spiritual power for cultivation, but it must never touch the Ginkgo Spirit Fruit. That Mirage Demon is as timid as a mouse; it shouldn't dare to break the agreement, right?” said Gui Cang.

“It's not the Mirage Demon; it's some human cultivators.” Bashe opened his eyes and waved his sleeve.

A blue light appeared in front of them, revealing a small blue mirror showing the outside scene of He Mountain Sect's cultivators breaking the array.
