Li Yifei and Sun Changrong returned to the passageway to set up a formation to prevent more people from disturbing Chen Jingzhai when he broke the Restriction.
They did not expect someone to come while they were setting up.
It was Feng Liuyun of the Divine Cloud lineage, Zhang Kui of the Heavenly Artisan lineage, and Zhao Qinghe of the Dream Celestial lineage.
For some reason, the three of them successfully found the entrance to the passageway.
Sun Changrong appeared and brought everyone to the immortal abode.
Li Yifei then finished setting up the formation and returned to the immortal abode.
Everyone had already gathered inside the palace.
Chen Jingzhai closed his eyes and remained motionless in front of the Restriction.
No one disturbed him.
The rest of the people exchanged information about their encounters in the secret zone. They were quite harmonious with each other.
âLin Feiyang has lost face this time!â Feng Liuyun smiled and said, âIâm afraid that when he returns this time, he will enter seclusion. I wonder if he will participate in the battle forum?â
âWith his thick skin, heâll definitely participate,â Li Yifei said calmly. âThe battle forum concerns the reputation of the branches. Heâs ambitious and definitely wonât give up.â
âYouâre right.â Chu Jingsong smiled and said, âBut even if he participates in the battle forum, Iâm afraid he wonât get a good ranking. So little Master-Uncle will also participate this time.â
âDoes Senior Brother Chu think so highly of Little Master-Uncle?â Feng Liuyun was surprised.
âLittle Master-Uncle can break through the Restrictions of the immortal abode. So what right do you have to underestimate him?â Chu Jingsong glanced at him and pressed on. âOr do you think you can defeat Little Master-Uncle? Do you think Little Master-Uncle canât go far on the battle forum?â
âI did not expect everyone to think so highly of Little Master-Uncleâs ability.â Feng Liuyun chuckled. âHowever, donât you think Little Master-Uncleâs spell is too attention-seeking? Many other spells can restrain the earth escape spell.â
Everyone had different expressions when they heard this.
Zhou Yuanhao and Xiao Yanâs expressions did not change. Instead, they only looked at Feng Liuyun.
Li Yifeiâs eyes were filled with amusement and disdain.
Chu Jingsong smiled and shook his head.
Jiang Youningâs expression did not change, but he did not even look at Feng Liuyun.
âJunior Brother Feng, do you think that Little Master-Uncle only knows the earth escape spell?â Sun Changrong noticed the tension in the atmosphere and immediately said, âLittle Master-Uncleâs methods are complicated and ever-changing. So donât be deceived by that move of his.â
âEven if he has many spells under his belt, his cultivation level is only at the Beginning Foundation Plane. So Iâm afraid Little Master-Uncle wonât be able to last long.â Feng Liuyun shook his head disapprovingly, indicating that he did not think highly of him.
âJunior Brother Zhao, do you think so too?â Sun Changrong smiled and asked Zhao Qinghe.
âIâm not Little Master-Uncleâs match,â Zhao Qinghe said calmly. âIf I meet Little Master-Uncle on the battle forum, Iâll admit defeat and not attack.â
âSenior Brother Zhao is saving face for Little Master-Uncle!â Feng Liuyun said with a smile.
Zhao Qinghe glanced at Feng Liuyun and remained silent. He did not bother to explain at all.
The Dream Celestial lineage had its own mysteries. What he could see, Feng Liuyun could not.
âIf you think Little Master-Uncle is such an easy match, why donât you challenge him later?â Li Yifei said with a smile. âShow us how you defeat Little Master-Uncle.â
âBreaking the Restriction is more important. There are plenty of opportunities on the battle forum,â Feng Liuyun replied.
He was not foolish enough to challenge him on the spot, seeing that so many people acknowledged Little Master-Uncleâs abilities.
How could he continue?
As for challenging Little Master-Uncle, he would not even think of it!
Little Master-Uncle could even break through the Restrictions of the immortal abode. But, unlike Lin Feiyang, Feng Liuyun was not stupid enough to offend him.
That was because he wanted a share of the pie too!
In front of the Restriction, Chen Jingzhai knew nothing about the situation outside.
The fourth Restriction was more complicated than the third. He had to concentrate hard.
Therefore, after Chu Jingsong and the others arrived at the palace, he did not pay attention to the situation outside.
He focused his divine mind entirely on the Restriction and began to examine a way to break it.
This time, it took Chen Jingzhai twelve days to break the Restriction.
When he finally opened his eyes in exhaustion, he saw Sun Changrong and Li Yifei.
âWhere are they?â Chen Jingzhai asked.
âThey left here ten days ago and started competing outside.â Sun Changrong smiled and said, âWeâve already informed them to come over. Did Master-Uncle succeed?â
âYes!â Chen Jingzhai nodded. âThis time, seven people have to attack together.â
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Jingsong and Jiang Youning arrived.
Zhou Yuanhao and Xiao Yan were behind, and Zhao Qinghe arrived almost simultaneously.
Feng Liuyun and Zhang Kui, who were holding the Heavenly Hammer, came last.
âWho won?â Chen Jingzhai asked with a smile.
âThere was no winner,â Jiang Youning said coldly.
âOur cultivation levels are about the same. If we really want to determine the winner, Iâm afraid it will take a long time.â Chu Jingsong chuckled. âIf we go overboard, wonât we be teleported out of the secret zone?â
âSo itâs just for fun.â Chen Jingzhai nodded. âDo you have the strength to help break the Restriction?â
âOf course!â Chu Jingsong hurriedly nodded.
âI wonder what Master-Uncle wants us to do?â asked Feng Liuyun.
âFollow my instructions and bombard the weak points of the Restriction,â Chen Jingzhai said. âI need seven cultivators to go all out. You must use all your strength and not restrain yourselves.â
Sun Changrong, Li Yifei, Chu Jingsong, and Jiang Youning naturally agreed.
There were still three spots left. Zhou Yuanhao and Zhao Qinghe wanted to contribute as well.
For the last spot, Chen Jingzhai chose Zhang Kui of the Heavenly Artisan lineage.
Feng Liuyun smiled, but there was no anger in his heart. He just treated it as a show.
On the other hand, Xiao Yan stood still and was motionless. No one knew what he was thinking.
Chen Jingzhai could not care less about them. After getting everyone to stand in position, he gave the order.
In the palace, the sounds of swords and fists rang out. Spiritual power surged, causing a violent wind.
The seven of them broke the fourth layer of Restriction.
Just like when the third Restriction was broken, a rich and pure essence power embalmed everyone.
Chen Jingzhai was already prepared and sat down cross-legged. He entered a cultivation state.
Sun Changrong and the other three also began to cultivate. Zhao Qingheâs eyes flashed slightly, and he sat cross-legged in a cultivation state, ignoring the others. Zhou Yuanhao looked moved as well. He quickly began to cultivate after sitting cross-legged on the spot.
This pure and rich essence power was too majestic and enticing.
As a result, Xiao Yan and Feng Liuyun could enjoy the fruits of their labor.
Xiao Yan was still alright. The Blazing Sun Peakâs Sky Scripture was extremely domineering. After the essence power overwhelmed him, he let out a low roar and forcefully resisted the wave of impact from the essence power. Then, he sat cross-legged and cultivated like everyone else.
Feng Liuyun subconsciously retreated. When he arrived at the entrance of the palace, he saw everyone sitting cross-legged. After dodging the impact of the essence power, he walked forward with an ugly expression and sat beside Xiao Yan.
Everyone in the palace fell silent.
They cultivated for five days and five nights before digesting the essence power.
Just like before, all the significant gains went to Chen Jingzhai.
Even if Chu Jingsong condensed a sky whale brain, he could not compare to Chen Jingzhaiâs achievement this time.
Chen Jingzhai absorbed the vast and rich essence power. However, some of the overflowing essence power that he could not absorb was secretly absorbed by the divine stone space.
This was not under Chen Jingzhaiâs control, so he could only watch.
After Chen Jingzhai finished cultivating, he stood up and prepared to enter the palace.
Seeing this, Feng Liuyun turned into a cloud and rushed into the palace.
âHow shameless!â Jiang Youning, standing at the door, snorted coldly and immediately attacked with his sword.
The sword light directly covered the door and blocked Feng Liuyunâs path.
However, Feng Liuyun was not afraid at all. On the contrary, he rushed forward and seemed to be unaffected by the sword light.
Seeing that Feng Liuyun was about to walk into the second palace, Chen Jingzhai made his move.
He pressed down on Feng Liuyun from afar and immediately activated the Mountain River Cloud Restriction.
