I am a mortal who has achieved enlightenment through burning my secrets

Chapter 321 Under the Wrath of the Masses

This screen is a genuine magical artifact from a hidden cave, and it seems that the original owner of this place used it as the key element of the entire hall.

In the original story, Han Li was able to enter the space only by using the Eye of Annihilation. However, Xiao Wuji's spatial abilities were no weaker than the Eye of Annihilation, so he easily infiltrated and entered the space, then flashed inside.

Before their eyes was a massive portal, entirely black, with countless gold and silver runes appearing on its surface, divided in two.

He summoned the sword pellet and thrust it out, shattering the restrictions on the giant gate inch by inch. Xiao Wuji then pushed the door open and entered.

The world beyond the door was merely a small plaza shimmering with blue light in the air, surrounded by gray barriers. Apart from the enormous gate through which they had entered, there were no other entrances.

The entire square was deserted, except for a strange circular platform in the center, on which something vaguely appeared.

The platform was not small, covering an area of ​​over thirty zhang. An exquisite pattern was engraved on the ground, depicting the sun, moon, and stars, with stars of varying sizes, lifelike and almost covering the entire platform.

At the center of the design is a magnificent, emerald-green armchair.

In addition, there were nine silver objects, each about the height of a person, standing motionless on the edge of the platform.

There were nine silver-armored warriors, each wielding a long spear and clad in full helmet and armor.

Apart from their two dark eyes, they had no skin showing on their bodies. They looked like either puppets or inanimate objects like statues.

However, the posture of these armored soldiers seemed somewhat strange. Instead of holding the halberd with both hands, they placed one hand in front of their chest in a hand seal gesture, and gripped the middle of the long halberd with the other hand, pointing the tip of the halberd straight up into the sky.

The nine silver-armored warriors all performed the same movements.

Looking in the direction Yin Ge pointed, they suddenly discovered that the originally hazy blue sky had a golden ball of light at an unknown height, with light slowly rotating inside, appearing mysterious and unpredictable.

The star map on the ground is a huge illusionary restriction, which has the effect of tempering the mind, but it is much inferior to his Red Dust Furnace.

These nine puppets are all comparable to those of Mahayana cultivators, but they are not used to defend against external enemies; rather, they serve as the core of the formation.

The divine sense probed into the star map and then broke free in an instant. This action was like triggering a switch, and a spell suddenly appeared on the grand master's chair on the high platform.

Xiao Wuji memorized the incantation, then used the law of fire to repel the laws of the immortal realm surrounding him, ultimately forming a fiery domain that could cover the entire high platform.

He raised his hand and released the three Tu Shan sisters, along with the Dongfang sisters.

As soon as they appeared, they all turned their gazes toward the high platform not far away.

Before the group could ask any questions, Xiao Wuji began to explain, "This is a True Immortal's Ruins in the Guanghan Realm. There is an opportunity here that can help you break through your Qi Refining cultivation!"

Unlike Bao Hua's peak Mahayana cultivation, the three Tu Shan sisters and the Dongfang sisters only had the early stage of Void Return cultivation, which was comparable to the early stage of Mahayana.

This is a "spirit-gathering array" set up by the true immortals of this place. However, it does not gather ordinary spiritual energy, but the power of stars!

Within the golden vortex in the sky, there is a special magical artifact capable of gathering the power of stars. Then, through the platform and puppet below, it is transformed into special spiritual energy, which can then be directly absorbed.

This world has been fallen into the spirit realm for countless millennia, and the stellar power gathered within it would be of immense benefit even to Xiao Wuji if he refined it. It would be enough for dozens of people to cultivate the Great Star Technique to perfection, eventually generating Starry Divine Thunder.

With this opportunity, the five women could easily raise their cultivation from the early stage of the Returning to Void realm to the late stage. If they weren't required to undergo the Immortal Tribulation upon reaching the Perfect Returning to Void realm, Xiao Wuji would definitely have let them cultivate to the Perfect Returning to Void realm first.

He explained the situation to the five women, then passed on the incantation to them, and sternly warned them: "Remember, never raise your cultivation to the peak of the Returning to Emptiness realm, otherwise you will surely be reduced to ashes under the Heavenly Tribulation!"

"Even I can't save you!"

The tribulations to immortality in this world are not as merciful as those in the desolate world; failing to overcome them can actually lead to becoming a "loose immortal."

After hearing Xiao Wuji's words, none of the five moved. Instead, they all looked at him with a sense of self-reproach, leaving Xiao Wuji somewhat puzzled.

"What's wrong with you?"

Tu Shan Ya Ya sniffed, then said remorsefully, "You bad boy, you should keep these things for yourself! We don't want to be an obstacle on your path to immortality!"

The other four nodded in agreement. In their view, if it weren't for them, Xiao Wuji would probably have already been able to transcend tribulation and become an immortal. Yet, he was still handing over such a precious opportunity because of their cultivation. They didn't want to be like those vampire-like women, so naturally they refused to accept such an opportunity.

Xiao Wuji felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing this, but then he put on a look that was both funny and exasperated.

"What are you little fools thinking? Although the cultivation technique I practice is powerful, the resources it requires are measured in worlds. This little bit of power can only increase my magic power by a tiny bit at most."

"Once you've absorbed all the power here, I'm going to refine the entire Guanghan Realm as well!"

"The power contained in the entire Guanghan Realm is far greater than the power of these stars!"

Upon hearing this, the girls exchanged glances, then decisively withdrew their emotions, and even became angry and embarrassed because of the "misunderstanding" just now.

Especially Tu Shan Ya Ya, with her fiery temper, pounced on Xiao Wuji, pinning him to the ground and scratching and biting him. While biting him, she kept muttering:
"I'll let you laugh at me, I'll make you look foolish!"

Xiao Wuji raised his hands in surrender and said, "I'm innocent! You didn't ask clearly enough questions."

As a result, Xiao Wuji's words only provoked the wrath of the crowd. Tu Shan Honghong stepped on Xiao Wuji's face without saying a word, grinding it hard twice, and then said coldly, "You've been hiding so well, and you still think you're right?"

Tu Shan Rongrong was even more mischievous, stepping on Xiao Wuji's weak spot while lightly stomping and saying sarcastically, "Sigh, everyone says that husband and wife should be completely open with each other, but it seems that our husband has many secrets to hide from us."

"It seems our leniency has given some people the ulterior motives they shouldn't have!"

"Rongrong, you've got that backwards, haven't you? Didn't you say I was the kindest and most merciful person when you were begging for mercy in bed?"

Xiao Wuji's words instantly made Tu Shan Rongrong open her eyes, and the force on her feet unconsciously increased, causing her to grimace in pain.

However, he had important matters to attend to at the moment and dared not act recklessly. He knew that this place had a great connection with Brother Skull, and it was even possible that this was Brother Skull's former territory.

"Alright, stop fooling around. I need to modify the formation here first, and the magic weapon also needs to be reforged, otherwise it will be difficult to control."

Upon hearing this, Tu Shan Ya Ya reluctantly climbed off Xiao Wu Ji. Tu Shan Hong Hong also blushed and withdrew her wet feet. Tu Shan Rong Rong, on the other hand, reluctantly released Xiao Wu Ji's vulnerable spot.
