From a loser to an immortal sage

Chapter 414 Breaking the Formation Successfully and Embarking on a New Journey

The roar of the mythical beast still echoed in my ears, making my internal organs tremble. It felt like someone was pounding my chest with a giant hammer.

The core of the entire immortal array shook violently with the roar. Stones fell from above, hitting the ground with muffled thuds. The air was filled with a choking smell of dust, and I could even taste a bit of the bitterness of the sand.

Damn, this feels like the end of the world!

Fairy Lin's exclamation snapped me back to reality. The enormous body of the divine beast, accompanied by a gust of wind, rushed towards me, its stench assaulting my senses. I could almost see the cold light gleaming from its fangs.

Instinctively, I raised my Crimson Flame Sword to parry, but a tremendous force struck me, making my hands go numb and almost causing me to lose my grip on the sword.

"Xiao Yao!" Master Qingfeng's voice carried a hint of anxiety.

"I'm fine!" I gritted my teeth, enduring the excruciating pain in my arm. The flames on the Crimson Flame Sword surged, and I withstood the divine beast's attack.

We can't back down; everyone is behind us. I have to hold on!

"Ziling, Daoist Qingfeng, get ready!" I shouted, and the mysterious power within me surged forth once more, flowing through my limbs and bones like a rushing river.

This power is mysterious and strong. Every time I use it, I feel weak, but at this moment, I have no other choice.

"Received!" Zi Ling and Daoist Qingfeng responded in unison, their bodies radiating a dazzling light.

The three of us exchanged a glance, our eyes filled with unwavering resolve. We were going to fight!

I took a deep breath and poured all the power in my body into the Crimson Flame Sword. The sword emitted a buzzing sound, as if responding to my determination.

"Reunite the three elements and vanquish evil!" I shouted sternly.

Three beams of light—crimson, cyan, and pure white—burst forth from the three of us, converging and merging in the air to form an even more dazzling golden pillar of light that slammed down upon the divine beast.

The divine beast let out a shrill scream, its body trembling violently in the golden light, as if enduring unimaginable pain.

I felt my strength rapidly draining away, and my vision blurred, but my hand remained tightly gripping the Crimson Flame Sword, refusing to loosen its grip even slightly.

The golden light lasted for a long time before slowly dissipating.

The enormous body of the divine beast had vanished, leaving only some faintly glowing fragments that drifted slowly down.

I collapsed to my knees, panting heavily. My clothes were soaked with sweat, sticking to my body and feeling very uncomfortable.

"It's a success..." Master Qingfeng's voice was somewhat weak, but also carried a hint of excitement.

“We…did it…” Zi Ling also collapsed to the ground, her face pale.

I looked up and saw that the runes at the core of the immortal array had stopped flashing, and everything had returned to calm.

In the center of the celestial array, a treasure chest radiating a strange light appeared, its radiance like the most dazzling star in the night sky, attracting everyone's attention.

We helped each other to the treasure chest, and Fairy Lin carefully opened it.

Inside the treasure chest lay a jade ruyi scepter radiating a soft glow, and an ancient book.

"This is... the celestial treasure 'Qiankun Ruyi'! And... the long-lost 'Tiangang Immortal Technique'!" Master Qingfeng's voice trembled with excitement, and his eyes shone with disbelief.

Before I could react, a dark shadow flashed by, and Blood Shadow actually reached out to snatch the Qiankun Ruyi while we were off guard!

This guy is outrageously greedy!

However, the Qiankun Ruyi seemed to have a powerful restriction. As soon as Xueying touched it, he was bounced back by a powerful force and crashed heavily to the ground with a muffled groan.

I snorted coldly and put away the Qiankun Ruyi and the "Tiangang Immortal Techniques" without hesitation.

"Let's go," I said, turning to leave this troublesome place.

Just then, I noticed a mysterious pattern appearing on the wall at the core of the immortal array. The pattern shimmered with a faint golden light and pointed in one direction...

“Wait,” I stopped and pointed to the pattern on the wall, “what is that?”

Following my gaze, Master Qingfeng's expression changed slightly. "This...this seems to be..."

He hesitated, his gaze fixed on the pattern. My heart tightened; a strange premonition welled up inside me. This pattern seemed to foreshadow something…

Master Qingfeng stared at the pattern, his brows furrowed, his fingers constantly stroking it, muttering incantations as if he were deciphering some ancient spell.

He would occasionally look up at the pattern, then look down at the "Heavenly Gang Immortal Techniques" in his hand, his expression constantly changing, like an old actor on a stage, sometimes happy, sometimes sad, making me itch with curiosity.

"Master, what have you figured out?" I couldn't help but ask.

This atmosphere made me even more nervous than when I was fighting the mythical beast.

He suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashing with a light I couldn't quite describe, as if he had discovered some earth-shattering secret, or as if he was hesitating whether to tell it or not.

This feeling is truly agonizing!

"This...this pattern seems to be a clue pointing to the 'Tears of the Galaxy'!" He finally spoke, his voice trembling slightly, as if he was suppressing his inner excitement.

"Tears of the Galaxy?" I was stunned. The name sounded so high-end; it must be a treasure!

I looked at the others, including Fairy Lin, Zi Ling, and even Xue Ying, who had been wearing a gloomy face, and they all showed expressions of surprise.

It seems that the name "Tears of the Galaxy" is quite prestigious!

"Legend has it that the 'Tears of the Stars' is a rare treasure in the Immortal Realm, possessing incredible power," Master Qingfeng continued, his tone filled with longing. "It is said that whoever obtains it can control the power of the stars and possess the power to destroy the heavens and the earth!"

Controlling the power of the stars?

Destroying the world?

My goodness, that's amazing!

My heart was pounding. This treasure hunt was going to be even more exciting than I had imagined!

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get going!" I said impatiently, wishing I could sprout wings and fly there right away.

“Wait,” Master Qingfeng raised his hand to stop me, “This pattern is only a general guide; the exact location needs further calculation. Moreover…” He paused, his gaze sweeping over us, “The allure of this ‘Tears of the Galaxy’ is too great; many people will likely covet it. We must be fully prepared.”

He's right. Such a powerful treasure will definitely attract many people, and a bloody battle is inevitable.

I gripped the Crimson Flame Sword tightly in my hand, and secretly vowed to protect everyone and obtain the "Tears of the Galaxy"!

“According to the pattern, the ‘Tears of the Galaxy’ should be deep within these mountains,” Master Qingfeng pointed to the pattern on the wall and continued, “Let’s rest for a bit, and then…”

Before he could finish speaking, a commotion suddenly arose outside the immortal array, like many people shouting and the sound of weapons clashing, growing clearer and clearer as it approached.

My heart skipped a beat, and a sense of foreboding washed over me. Could it be...?

"Someone's coming!" Fairy Lin exclaimed, her voice tinged with panic.

"Who goes there?" I instinctively gripped the Crimson Flame Sword and looked warily toward the entrance to the immortal array.

Master Qingfeng's face darkened.

"It seems we don't have time to rest..." he said in a low voice, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

Outside the immortal array, the noise grew closer, and one could faintly hear someone shouting, "They're inside! Don't let them escape!"

My heart skipped a beat, and a chill ran from my feet to the top of my head. Oh no, we're surrounded!

"Prepare to meet the enemy!" Master Qingfeng shouted in a deep voice, drawing his whisk from his waist and assuming a defensive stance.

I took a deep breath, gripped the Crimson Flame Sword tightly, and stared intently at the entrance to the Immortal Array.

Come on, let me see who dares to block our way!

At the entrance of the immortal array, a dark figure slowly appeared... "Hmph, I've finally found you..." A chilling voice rang out, sending shivers down one's spine.
