The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1183

Chapter 1183: Chapter 1180: Hand in Hand Chapter 1183: Chapter 1180: Hand in Hand The He Mountain Sect members cheered at the sight before them, but the Great Elder's expression remained grim.

Although the Breaking Ban Beads had penetrated the outer prohibitions of the light curtain, the deeper one went, the stronger the backlash from the prohibitions became. He already felt overwhelmed, and the thickness of this yellow light curtain was still unknown.

The Great Elder took a deep breath and exerted his full strength to activate the Breaking Ban Beads.

At this moment, the yellow light curtain surrounding the Breaking Ban Beads suddenly brightened, with streams of yellow light seeping out, some even carrying wisps of cloud.

The indented yellow light curtain quickly bulged back out, reverting to its original state in the blink of an eye, forcefully repelling the Breaking Ban Beads.

The cheers from the members of the He Mountain Sect abruptly ceased, and the Great Elder turned ashen, coughing a few times in a muffled voice, with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

The rebounding force from within the yellow light curtain had suddenly increased, causing a backlash from the Breaking Ban Beads, and he sustained some injuries.

“Great Elder…” the old man in a gray robe stepped forward.

“It's nothing, just a backlash from the spiritual power of the Breaking Ban Beads, no serious harm,” said the Great Elder, waving his hand dismissively.

Upon hearing this, the members of the He Mountain Sect's expressions relaxed slightly, but obviously, they also recognized the difficulty of the situation.

The Great Elder took out a green pill and swallowed it, quickly restoring his rather pale complexion to normal, yet his brows remained tightly furrowed.

He had already pushed the power of the Breaking Ban Beads to their limit, still unable to break through the yellow light curtain. Could it really be that they had come here in vain?

“Great Elder, there's some activity over there. It seems someone else is trying to break the prohibitions here,” just then, the cold-faced young woman flew over from afar.

“Did you manage to see clearly who it was?” asked the Great Elder, his expression changing slightly.

“It's a man in a green robe, quite strong. I only glanced from a distance, fearing to draw his attention, so I retreated,” said the cold-faced young woman.

“Poison Lady, you're known for your ruthlessness in killing, yet this time you ran back without even showing your face, a rare occurrence indeed,” said the proud youth with a mocking tone.

“Young brat, you're just a young brat with no understanding. That person has made significant progress in breaking the prohibitions. If we could employ his skills, it would be greatly beneficial to our current venture. How could I rashly reveal myself and scare him away?” the cold-faced young woman retorted with a cold laugh.

The proud youth was furious, a flash of ferocity in his eyes.

“Enough, both of you stop quarreling over everything! Poison Lady, you say that man has made progress in breaking the prohibitions, is that true?” The Great Elder chided them and looked at the Poison Lady.

“I dare not deceive you, Great Elder. Come with me and you shall see,” said the Poison Lady.

The Great Elder nodded, put away the Breaking Ban Beads, and followed the Poison Lady flying off into the distance.

The others quickly followed, and soon they reached the opposite side of the Qiankun Xuanjin Array, where a thin man in a green robe was sitting cross-legged on the ground, activating an array that was several zhang in size.

This man in the green robe was unremarkable in appearance, but his cultivation was not weak; he had reached the Late Mahayana Stage. Underneath him, the array shone brightly, forming a huge sphere of light, from which countless tadpole-like runes shot out, pelting the yellow light curtain like raindrops.

The solid curtain swiftly disintegrated, growing thinner, and a void several zhang in size appeared on it, quickly seeping deeper inward.

“This…” On seeing this scene, the Great Elder was greatly shocked.

Despite exerting all his might to activate the Breaking Ban Beads, he could only slightly shake the yellow prohibitions. Yet this young man, with a relatively simple minor array, managed to penetrate so deeply into the prohibitions.

The man in the green robe within the formation also noticed the presence of the Great Elder and others, and “swoosh” stood up, his face showing a flustered expression, as he manipulated his hand seals to stop the array.

Within the array, spiritual light flashed continuously, and poles of formation flags and discs shot out from the soil, entering his sleeve.

Having quickly completed these actions, the man in the green robe leaped up, intending to fly away.

However, a white light emerged in the void ahead, and the figure of the Great Elder appeared, blocking the way.

“Daoist friend, please stay awhile,” the Great Elder said with a smile, cupping his hands in greeting.

Flickers of movement surrounded the man in the green robe as the gray-haired old man, the proud youth, and the Poison Lady, among others, also descended, subtly encircling him.

“What do you want?” the complexion of the man in the green robe changed drastically, and a swish of golden light by his side revealed a Profound Yellow Long Staff, while a mass of blue treasure light materialized above his head.

“Do not be alarmed, Daoist friend. We are monks from the He Mountain Sect and bear no ill will towards Your Excellency. This place, Yunmeng Marsh, is infested with demons. We are all human cultivators and should naturally assist each other for mutual benefit. What do you think?” the Great Elder said amicably, not minding the two treasures the man in the green robe had summoned.

“So you are monks from the He Mountain Sect. You are correct, Elder; Yunmeng Marsh is rife with monsters. We human cultivators should indeed stand united,” the man in the green robe said, betraying a hint of timidity on his face as he recognized the Great Elder's True Immortal Stage cultivation level, and forced a flattering smile.

“Elder Lin is also only slightly more advanced in cultivation than you, Daoist friend. There's no need for titles. May I know your name and which sect you belong to?” the Great Elder asked him affably, still smiling and returning the cupped hands salutation.

“I, Tian Tiesheng, am a freelance cultivator without any sect affiliation. You flatter me, Elder,” the man in the green robe said, somewhat overwhelmed, and returned the greeting in a hurry.

“So you are Daoist friend Tian. You have come for the Ginkgo Spirit Fruit, haven't you? To be honest, we have come for the same reason, but unfortunately, this yellow prohibition is quite challenging to break. Despite our best efforts for almost a day, we have been unable to decipher it. We saw Daoist friend Tian working on the prohibition from a distance just now; your methods are truly remarkable. How about we join forces?” the Great Elder proposed with a smile.

“Join forces?” Tian Tiesheng was taken aback.

“Yes, you can work on breaking the prohibition, while we handle the demons lurking inside. Wouldn't it be better to seek the treasure together rather than acting alone?” the Great Elder said with a smile.

“This…” Tian Tiesheng hesitated, his face showing indecision.

“What, does Daoist friend Tian look down upon our He Mountain Sect?” the proud youth's eyes flashed with a fierce glint.

The expressions of the other He Mountain Sect members also darkened, and the formidable aura they kept hidden until now erupted, bearing down on Tian Tiesheng.

“I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. Let's act together then. I trust that the He Mountain Sect, being a renowned and large sect, will not deceive a mere freelance cultivator like me,” Tian Tiesheng, although not of low cultivation, knew he couldn't withstand the combined strength of all the He Mountain Sect members and hastily nodded in agreement, his face turning pale in an instant.

“Rest assured, when we of the He Mountain Sect give our word, we keep it. We won't mistreat Daoist friend after things are done,” the Great Elder said with a nod, giving a knowing look to the others.

The countenances of the He Mountain Sect members finally relaxed, and they simultaneously retracted their auras.

Tian Tiesheng watched the He Mountain Sect's cultivators' changing expressions, a hint of amusement flickering in the depths of his eyes.

This Tian Tiesheng was naturally Shen Luo in disguise. His Huangting Technique had already reached the fourth level, and with the power of the 72 Transformations, changing his appearance was effortless.

As long as the He Mountain Sect members followed him in, he could seize the opportunity amidst the chaos to snatch the Ginkgo Spirit Fruit.

“If that's the case, let's get started,” the Great Elder said, quite pleased with Shen Luo's submission, and spoke with faint authority.

Shen Luo agreed and took out the yellow-colored array, starting to lay it out once again.

“Daoist friend Tian, what is the name of this array you've set up? It seems to be perfectly effective against the current prohibition. Where did you acquire it?” the Great Elder asked, gauging the yellow-colored array on the ground, his question coming suddenly.
