70: Chapter 70 This sealing formation is a terrifying treasure.

He hurried to reach out and tapped his finger once more.

This time, he directly used his own spiritual power to completely isolate the Spiritual Qi around the Disciple.

But upon investigation, he discovered that this Seal Formation required no external Spiritual Qi supply; it could actually operate on its own!

"Hiss... How strange! How strange!"

"There is actually a self-contained Seal Formation that requires no external force?"

The surrounding Disciples looked at these two Outer Sect big shots—one the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall and the other the Peak Master of Danxia Peak—who currently looked like two country bumpkins who had never seen the world.

They circled the group of "statues," marveling repeatedly, exclaiming "how strange" at every turn.

This made the Disciples want to laugh but not dare to; their faces turned red from holding it in.

Dan Chenzi did not give up and began to try other methods.

One moment he slapped a "Breaking Restriction Talisman" onto the Disciple with a crisp "smack," and the next he condensed a "Spirit Dissolving Incantation" to wash over the Disciple's entire body.

It didn't work!

Finally, he simply took out several bottles of Medicinal Pills, pried the Disciple's mouth open, and poured them in, but it still didn't work.

So, he went in with his hands, constantly patting and slapping the Disciple, causing the frozen Disciple's eyes to roll back in their sockets.

Ultimately...

"Hiss... How strange! How strange! To think such a Seal Formation exists in this world?"

On the other side, Vice Hall Master Lei Xiao also grabbed an unlucky Disciple, poking him here and tapping him there. His spiritual power surged back and forth, causing the Disciple's face to turn from white to red, then from red to purple—a truly colorful sight.

After trying every method he knew, he also widened his eyes, his face full of amazement.

"Incredible! Truly incredible!"

"It can actually be self-contained, using the human body's own blood and Qi as the Formation eye to form a closed loop. It's a stroke of Genius!"

"Enough, enough!"

Dan Chenzi noticed the muffled sounds of the surrounding Disciples trying to suppress their laughter. His old face couldn't take it anymore, so he quickly interrupted Vice Hall Master Lei Xiao's non-stop praise.

He then lowered his voice and reminded, "Quick! Get Chen Xuan from Tianzhen Peak to come take a look!"

Vice Hall Master Lei Xiao snapped out of it and immediately took out a communication stone, pinched a hand Seal, and tapped his finger on it.

Soon, an old man with a transcendent, immortal air walked over slowly with his hands behind his back.

This person was the Peak Master of Tianzhen Peak among the thirty-six peaks of the Outer Sect, a specialist in the Dao of Formations—Chen Xuan.

It was said that his Formations had once trapped a Nascent Soul Old Ancestor to death.

His reputation had long since resounded throughout the Eastern Region; whenever Formations were mentioned, someone would inevitably think of Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan walked closer, first glanced at the "statues," and stroked his beard, saying dismissively.

"A trivial matter. Isn't this just being hit by a Body-Fixing Technique?"

Dan Chenzi and Vice Hall Master Lei Xiao exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Don't speak too soon, take a look first!"

Chen Xuan confidently stepped forward and tried to undo it, but failed.

He spent a few more breaths carefully investigating, and then his expression changed. Realizing it was a Seal Formation, he immediately showed the same look of astonishment as the previous two.

"Incredible! Simply incredible!"

"To think someone could imprint a Seal Formation directly into the human Meridians!"

He tapped his finger on it, sensing carefully.

"How strange! How strange! This Seal Formation is actually self-contained and requires nothing from the outside!"

The commotion here soon alerted the Peak Masters of the other peaks.

In less than an hour, over a dozen Peak Masters came swarming in.

Upon learning of this bizarre Seal Formation, they were like children discovering new toys. They immediately began using all sorts of their trump-card research methods on these "statue" Disciples, patting here and hitting there.

More and more onlookers gathered to watch the spectacle.

When they saw this group of usually aloof Elders with glowing eyes, buried in their research, they couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for the Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters being used as experimental subjects.

"This Seal Formation is a Heaven-Shattering Treasure Trove!"

"If we can research it thoroughly, it will be a major killing weapon in the future, whether used against enemies or to protect the Sect!"

One of the Elders was hunched over, poking and tapping at a female Disciple's Acupoints. Although the female Disciple couldn't move, her eyes were rolling back frantically.

A few had even started foaming at the mouth, looking like they were about to expire.

At this moment, although the bodies of those sealed "statue" Disciples were as hard as wood, the pain from being struck and the bloated feeling of Medicinal Pills being forced into their stomachs were very real.

Right now, they found this group of Peak Masters even more detestable than the culprit from last night.

The lowest cultivation among these Elders was Golden Core. How could Qi Refining Disciples withstand the strength of a Golden Core?

If they didn't stop, they would either be poked to death...

Or be stuffed to death by these Medicinal Pills.

...

Suddenly, an onlooker cried out in terror, "Look! Senior Brother Li seems to have stopped breathing!"

"Huh?!"

The group of Peak Masters, who were having a grand time, were stunned. They quickly stopped what they were doing and ran to a Disciple who was posed in a flashy "Golden Rooster Standing on One Leg" stance.

They saw that the Disciple's face had already turned a deathly white. Everyone scrambled to place their hands on him.

Sure enough, this Disciple had lost all signs of life at some unknown point.

Someone, refusing to believe it, pulled open his chest and saw that it was covered in blue and purple bruises, filled with dense finger marks.

Only then did they realize that this Disciple had actually been poked to death by them.

The Elder who had been poking enthusiastically just a moment ago quickly and guiltily covered the boy's chest with his clothes. He exchanged awkward glances with the other Peak Masters.

A living Disciple had actually been "researched" to death by them!

"Ahem!"

Dan Chenzi cleared his throat awkwardly to break the dead silence, then quickly waved his hand and ordered.

"Someone! Quick! Carry them all up to my Danxia Peak. No one else is allowed to approach!"

Afterward, these usually arrogant Peak Masters gathered together with dark expressions, the atmosphere so heavy it felt like it could wring out water.

Because they had all thought of a possibility... a name that made them shudder.

Tiansha Valley!

Only those sinister practitioners who dealt with underhanded secret techniques all year round could strike such a bizarre Formation into a human body.

More importantly.

Thirty years ago, Tiansha Valley had used an ancient sealing technique to "Seal" a Nascent Soul Master to death.

After that Nascent Soul Master was immobilized, there were similarly no traces of Spells to be found, nor any abnormalities within the body—only an unresolvable, mysterious sealing power.

Their Sect paid a massive price but still couldn't break it. In the end, that Nascent Soul Master just stood there with his eyes wide open and "stood" to death in front of everyone.

Dan Chenzi was the first to break the silence, his voice dry.

"Do you think this was the work of those lunatics from Tiansha Valley?"
