156: Chapter 156 Suppression!
"Dingguang Mirror."
A mirror taller than a person, carved with countless cloud patterns, appeared out of thin air before Zhao Yi.
As Zhao Yi's reflection appeared in the mirror, Zhao Yi seemed to be frozen in place.
His body, magical power, and even his breathing, thoughts, and Divine Soul were all frozen.
It was as if time around Zhao Yi had been frozen, and everything had ceased to move.
The Xuanpin Spirit Fox wiped her hand, and a kind-looking Daoist holding a whisk appeared.
By this time, it was already late.
Zhao Yi stood motionless before the Dingguang Mirror, looking indescribably eerie.
"Come out."
"I have already captured that Zhao Yi."
A slender female Cultivator emerged from the darkness. She was Bai Yuxi, the daughter of Bai Dashi. She had joined the Yuan Sect to Cultivate, and later married the son of the Yuan Sect's Fifth Elder as her Dao Companion.
"Thank you for your assistance, Father-in-law!"
The Daoist who had schemed against Zhao Yi was none other than the Yuan Sect's Fifth Elder, Tian Not-Allowing.
"It is precisely this person who caused my Bai family's decline, and our three Old Ancestors also perished because of him. I will kill him right now to avenge the many Cultivators of my Bai family."
Bai Yuxi took out a Spiritual Artifact, intending to finish Zhao Yi off.
"Wait!"
"Zhao Yi cannot be killed just yet."
"The Spirit Race mole sent word that the Spirit Race Saintess is his old flame, and the immortal fate they snatched has already been given to him."
"Wait until I have questioned him about the whereabouts of the immortal fate, then I will hand him over to you to deal with."
"As for you, since I have already captured Zhao Yi, shouldn't you fulfill your promise first?"
Tian Not-Allowing said this with a straight face.
Bai Yuxi's face turned pale.
"Here?"
"Can we change to another place?"
What kind of place was this?
The Great Yin Immortal Dynasty capital, the place where the Fourth Prince Li Yingzhen Cultivates.
"You are unwilling?"
Tian Not-Allowing was somewhat annoyed.
What was wrong with this place? It was so thrilling!
This was exactly the kind of thrill he pursued.
"No, this daughter-in-law is willing."
Bai Yuxi's voice trembled.
Immediately, her dharma robes fell off piece by piece, merging into the darkness.
...
Far West Land.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and standing upon them were monsters resembling humans. Some had human bodies with monster heads, while others had monster bodies with human heads; in any case, they were not complete humans.
But this appearance did not in the slightest affect their current imposing Aura.
Further away, countless flying ships blotted out the sky and sun, their dark cannon muzzles revealing endless killing intent.
"Different Humans!"
This was what those with human bodies and monster heads were called.
"Monster Humans,"
This was what those with monster bodies and human heads were called.
"The Saintess has successfully completed Undergoing Tribulation and attained the body of an Immortal. Today is the day of our revenge."
"Kill our way back to the Great Yin Immortal Dynasty and take back the seventy-two prefectures."
Mou Wuwang raised his fist high, his eyes red.
Ever since the Qingling Immortal appeared and drove the Spirit Race to the Far West Land, today it was finally the Human Race's turn.
Hmph, hmph, hmph.
Hopefully, you humans also have a 'Lady Ruling' to speak for you, to avoid the fate of extermination.
For some reason, Zhao Yi's face suddenly appeared in Mou Wuwang's mind.
He looked again at Zhou Yan, who sat expressionless on the clouds.
"That shouldn't be it, right?"
Shaking these chaotic thoughts out of his mind, he waved his hand.
"My boys!"
"Move quickly!"
"If you run too slowly, there will be no one left to eat."
Countless Spirit Race members followed Mou Wuwang's call and charged out of the Far West Land.
The Spirit Race's full-scale offensive had begun.
...
Round and round, round and round.
Zhao Yi woke up from the darkness. His internal magical power was sealed, and his body felt as if it were pressed down by a weight of ten thousand catties, making it hard for him to breathe.
"What is this place?"
"What the f***..."
"I can't be that unlucky, right?"
Zhao Yi thought history was repeating itself.
He checked himself; his body was unharmed.
The Fuyu Palace was still in his Dantian—well, not his Dantian, but an unknown space. Just like the great sumeru treasure hoe, Zhao Yi could feel it and summon it instantly, but he really didn't know where it was specifically.
Getting sidetracked. Inside the Fuyu Palace, Li Yingzhen was still Cultivating, and those Spirit Stones were also inside, untouched.
He opened his eyes, and as Zhao Yi had expected, he was pressed under a mountain, and the mountain was covered in Talismans.
"Holy sh*t!"
"Who is it?"
"Damn it, are they treating me like Sun Wukong?"
"You're awake?"
"You're awake!"
The little Daoist boy seemed a bit dazed, looking at Zhao Yi in a panic.
Before Zhao Yi could ask anything, he hopped away like a monkey.
Zhao Yi...
Had he swapped bodies with someone? It felt like that little Daoist boy was the one who should be pressed here.
A moment later, a white cloud descended from the sky.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, greetings."
"I am the Yuan Sect's Fifth Elder, Tian Not-Allowing."
Zhao Yi was dumbfounded.
"Yuan Sect?"
"I have no grudges against the Yuan Sect; what is this about?"
Tian Not-Allowing flicked his whisk.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, you are joking. The day before yesterday, my Sect Leader divined that the immortal fate had fallen upon Fellow Daoist Zhao and the Fourth Prince Li Yingzhen."
"Fellow Daoist Zhao might not know this, but that immortal fate is fated with my Yuan Sect."
Zhao Yi laughed.
Such familiar words; it was a pity that this Tian Not-Allowing's surname wasn't Shen Gong.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Don't tell me the immortal fate is not on you?"
"You cannot argue your way out of this."
"In order to divine the location of the immortal fate, our Sect Leader even sacrificed his life."
"Listen~"
"That is the bell tolling for the Sect Leader's passing."
"Do you think the result that the Sect Leader divined with his life is something you can deny?"
Zhao Yi was stunned.
Tian Not-Allowing had blocked all his arguments. Most importantly, hearing Tian Not-Allowing say this, it seemed like the immortal fate really was on him, but the problem was he really didn't have it.
He had clearly returned that big earthworm to Zhou Yan.
"I know you won't believe anything I say right now, but what I want to say is..."
"The immortal fate is really not on me; it is in the hands of the Spirit Race Saintess..."
Mentioning Zhou Yan, Zhao Yi's eyes lit up.
"Yes, in the hands of the Spirit Race Saintess. She has successfully completed Undergoing Tribulation and attained the body of a Human Immortal. Is it possible that she made your Sect Leader's divination incorrect?"
Tian Not-Allowing shook his head.
"It seems you do not want to talk."
"Then stay here properly. When you have thought it through, come and call me."
Zhao Yi~
"Immovable Void Technique!"
Holy sh*t, no magical power.
"Spirit Stone Traverse Art."
Damn it, his hands were pressed down, he couldn't even move a finger, let alone form the hand seals.
"It's over!"
"What the f*** is going on?"
"System,"
When the familiar System panel appeared in Zhao Yi's eyes, Zhao Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, this cheat didn't require magical power or any special actions.
【 Miner: Zhao Yi 】
【 Cultivation: Middle Mahayana Stage (Can be upgraded) 】
【 experience points: 11284 / 400 】
【 Reward: Substance of Eternity 】
Ever since digging up that big earthworm, Zhao Yi had been too busy to even look at the System.
Now that he was suppressed under this mountain, he finally had time.
11284 experience points!
When had Zhao Yi ever been this rich?
To what level could this upgrade his Cultivation?
Thinking about that immortal fate, Zhao Yi was still a bit indignant.
Something that could allow one to attain Immortal Ascension, the essence of the entire Spirit Stone mine, only rewarded 10,000 experience points? The System was too stingy.
And that reward, Substance of Eternity?
What kind of thing was that?
"System, claim reward."
His whole body felt cool, his hands were empty, and then that was it.
Looking at the System panel again, the reward line was already empty.
"What the heck?"
