Chapter 428 - Heartache
Unlike the spatial ripples, Yang Junshan’s spirit sense could only barely feel it, it was extremely clear, to the point that even Yan Qinxi and Ning Bin could sense it, to say nothing of the two array masters Ning Qing and Lu Jing.
“Not good, retreat!”
It was hidden within the inheritance stone, and the space used to store inheritance jade plate began to collapse. In an instant, seventeen small spatial whirlpools formed, and a few inheritance jade plate were sucked into the whirlpool, turning intile of mincemeat.
Yan Qinxi and Ning Bin, the two people closest to him, were retreating, but Yang Junshan didn’t know how to deal with this spatial ability. He could only watch as seven to eight inheritance jade plate s were destroyed one after another while at a loss.
It was at this moment that a golden beam of light suddenly appeared and cleaved towards a small spatial whirlpool. This “Great White Goldlight Slash” disintegrated with a series of “beng beng” sounds.
But right when Yan Zhong made his move, the spatial whirlpool that was attacked by his sacred art also swayed, followed by a flash, and then it disappeared just like that!
Not only that, in the instant that the spatial vortex disappeared, the other sixteen spatial vortexes seemed to be disturbed at the same time. They vibrated visibly in succession, then vanished.
Nine pieces of inheritance jade plate that were about to fall into the spatial whirlpool fell to the ground at the same time. Yang Junshan, who had recovered from his shock, immediately sprinkled ouiece of magnetic light, held the nine pieces of inheritance jade plate in midair, and then slowly floated towards the people who had yet to recover from their shock.
Ning Bin’s lips were trembling, not because of the fear he felt when the Inheritance Stone suddenly crumbled, but because he felt pain in his heart, “If all eight inheritance jade plate were to be destroyed, then what was kept inside the Inheritance Pavilion must at least be an inheritance of the spirit rank …”
Ning Bin didn’t have to say it, but after he said it, everyone changed into a look as if they had lost their parents. Eight Spirit Stage legacies were destroyed, even a Adept Realm Cultivator would go crazy hearing it.
Amongst them, Yan Qinxi had the biggest heart, and after feeling sad for a while, she comforted herself: “It’s not bad, at least we saved nine inheritance jade plate s.”
Before his voice fell, because the fluctuations in space were too obvious earlier, it even caused the spirit energy to become unstable. However, the fluctuations of the spirit energy also caused the air to fluctuate, causing a light gust of wind to blow against his face, and then, looking at the four of the nine inheritance jade plate floating above the magnetic light, they turned into dust under the gentle breeze, and scattered everywhere.
“I …” Yan Qinxi looked at everything that was happening in front of him with a dumbstruck expression, and felt as though her heart was about to break.
“Aunt, don’t talk anymore!”
Ning Bin’s heart ached so much that even tears almost fell out. As he walked over, he used his spirit sense to inspect the remaining five inheritance jade plate s, but after discovering that the five tablets were completely undamaged, he calmed down and said: “Brother Yang, you can put these five tablets down now.”
In reality, Yang Junshan had noticed the remaining five inheritance jade platven earlier than Ning Bin, so he had no problem with it. After he heard what was said, he placed the five inheritance jade plate s on a huge flat rock and everyone gathered around.
When the inheritance stone crumbled, everyone saw that this inheritance stone contained seventeen different spaces for inheritance jade plate. But now, seventeen inheritances were equivalent to Spirit Stages, and there were only five left.
Although receiving five Spirit Level inheritances was already extremely joyful for everyone, when they thought about the twelve Spirit Level inheritances that they lost, all of their happiness vanished.
“Let’s begin. I hope these five legacies will not disappoint us!” Yang Junshan’s tone sounded like he was praying.
However, today, it was as if everyone had their eyes opened wide, Yang Junshan anxiously picked uiece of inheritance jade plate s and started to read its contents, then immediately shouted out: “What kind of joke is this, Flying Stone Spirit Art!”
Previously, when they were dealing with the backlash from the forbidden array, everyone had seen Ning Bin unleash his Stone Spirit Art. Obviously, the Ning family had inherited this spirit art, and to be able to find such a inheritance jade plate with sucecord inside, how could Ning Bin not be extremely frustrated.
Although Ning Bin was extremely disappointed, Yang Junshan and Yan Qinxi naturally did not. Yang Junshan knew that Zhang Yueming was an expert in the art of the Flying Stone Spirit Art, and according to what he knew, the Flying Stone Spirit Art was an extension of one of the legacies of the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s “Falling Mountain Strike”. Back then, Spiritual Master Chen Ji was already able to defeat cultivators of the same cultivation level when he still had not completely mastered the “Falling Mountain Strike” Precious Techniques and Divine Powers.
He only heard her chuckle, and said: “As far as I know, the Flying Stone Spirit Art can only be passed on to the Successor Disciples of the Heaven-Shaken Sect. Originally, I had doubts on how Brother Ning had managed to learn the Flying Stone Spirit Art, since Brother Ning’s identity as a Successor Disciple is due to the support of the family behind him, not being treated as a core disciple of the Heaven-Shaken Sect. However, from the looks of it, little sister was wrong, the Ning family has already inherited the Flying Stone Spirit Art.”
Ning Bin laughed and said: “This is not a secret, it is Lord Jia Zu asking for it personally, and the Heaven-Shaken Sect also needs to rope in my Ning family, so naturally, I am not the only one who can cultivate this Flying Stone Spirit Art.”
Ning Bin paused for a moment, then looked at Yang Junshan, and said: “Presumably, Heaven-Shaken Sect spoke of a great price in order to win over the Yang Family.”
Yang Junshan laughed, looked at Yan Qinxi, and said: “This is also not a secret matter, my father has already cultivated the Earth Shaking Mountain Precious Techniques and Divine Powers, and the Yang Family’s main cultivation technique has also been changed to the Earth Shrouding Treasure Incantation.”
Hearing Yang Junshan’s words, Yan Qinxi’s beautiful eyes moved, she naturally knew that what she said was not the truth.
Ning Bin laughed meaningfully: “The twenty legacies of the Heaven-Shaken Sect are given to the Yang family. Brother Yang, Heaven-Shaken Sect has spent more effort to win over the Yang family than she has to win over our Ning family. It seems that Heaven-Shaken Sect favors your Yang family!”
Yang Junshan smiled faintly, and said: “Brother Ning, you are thinking too much. It is not because the Heaven-Shaken Sect values our Yang family more, but because we, the Yang family are too weak, and the Wasteland Town is the only weakness of the entire Heaven-Shaken Sect. In order to protect the last root of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, they have no choice but to put in a lot of effort to help our Yang family improve.”
Yang Junping and Lu Jing had already imprinted the Flying Stone Spirit Art on another inheritance jade plate. Yang Junping glanced at Lu Jing and asked in a low voice: “Brother, why did the inheritance jade plate say that the Flying Stone Spirit Art is an extension of the Precious Techniques and Divine Powers’s Star Falling Art and not the ‘Mountain Falling Strike’ that you just mentioned?”
Yang Junshan was slightly startled, but the opposing Lu Jing had obviously not noticed it when he was in the midst of Skill Storing, and quickly checked the inheritance in his hands. On the other hand, Ning Bin, who was still feeling depressed, said in a weak voice: “That’s right, in the cultivation world, on the Precious Techniques and Divine Powers Ranking, the Stone Element Arts is indeed the extended spirit technique that is ranked 176th, ‘Falling Mountain Strike’. However, in the Heaven-Shaken Sect, the specific cultivation method for ‘Falling Mountain Strike’ seems to have been modified by the great sacred art of the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s senior, so its power is a little higher than the original sacred art of the cultivation world’s’ Falling Mountain Strike ‘.”
As if he had understood something, Yan Qinxi said, “Looks like the reason why your esteemed ancestor, Daoist Master Ning Shijie, asked the Heaven-Shaken Sect for the Flying Stone Spirit Art, is probably because he knew about it ….”
“Cough cough,” Yan Zhong pretended to cough twice and interrupted Yan Qinxi’s words. “There are four more inheritance jade plate s.
Yan Qinxi secretly stuck out her tongue, picked up the second inheritance jade plate, and used her spirit sense to investigate it. Then, raising her long and thin willow leaf eyebrow, she swung the jade board in her hand and threw it into Yang Junshan’s hands, saying: “Seven Apertures Chain Formation, your formation master’s inheritance!”
Lu Jing’s face suddenly became weird, even if it’s an inheritance of the array, Junior Yan, shouldn’t you give the inheritance jade plate to your own people to look at first, what’s wrong with giving it to that brat, do you think that your Junior Master Lu is jusasserby?
Yan Zhong looked at Yan Qinxi, then looked at Yang Junshan, then looked at Lu Jing who had a weird expression on his face, closed his eyes and continued to study the inheritance of the secret technique, realms of life.
The inheritance of the spirit array was not difficult at all, but it was ingenious in design. It gathered the seven previously unrelated array formations together skillfully, and from then on, the power of the seven array formations was condensed together as well, forming a joint array formation that was comparable to a spirit rank array. At first glance, it even gave Yang Junshan the illusion of a “secret array formation”, but this inheritance and the “secret array formation” were clearly two different things, and it could only link the seven fixed array formations.
After the three formation masters finished imprinting the inheritance, Yang Junping had already picked up the third inheritance jade plate. After using his spiritual sense to scan through it, he said: “It’s a spiritual technique and its reputation is great. It’s actually called the ‘Overlapping Seal’.”
Ning Bin laughed: “Brother Jun Ping, are you praising your own precious techniques? Didn’t Heaven-Shaken Sect also pass on his skills to you guys … “Hmm …”
Yang Junshan laughed out loud, cupped his hands and said: “To be honest, maybe it really is a spiritual technique matching with the ‘Overlapping Earth Art’!”
There were some sacred arts in the cultivation world that were created to display the full might of the cultivation method. Thus, when these sacred arts were created, they would be named after the original name of the cultivation method, and when these sacred arts were used by cultivators with the same name, their power would be three times stronger than other sacred arts.
Seeing everyone’s envious expressions, Yang Junshan urged Yang Junping to copy the contents of the inheritance jade plate. He said to everyone at the same time: “Come come, look down, look down, there are still two inheritance jade plate s left!”
