Chapter 1962 Raw 2060 : Breaking a Formation

A medicinal spring? A pill river?

The southern sector of the city abounded with Alchemy rooms. Xiao Chen already guessed that there would be a medicinal spring or a pill river around as the core of this sector.

Unexpectedly, someone found them so quickly.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Many figures rushed off in the silent southern sector. Countless people leaped about the rooftops, racing towards the medicinal spring and pill river.

The city had restrictions suppressing the physical bodies of the cultivators. It was not easy to rush over.

However, this suppression was not as strong on Xiao Chen and Liu Ruyun, who possessed Dragon Race bloodlines, compared to ordinary cultivators.

“What a heavy medicinal fragrance! Has someone broken the barrier around the medicinal spring?”

When Xiao Chen and Liu Ruyun got close, they immediately smelled a refreshing medicinal fragrance that swept their fatigue away, making them feel refreshed and comfortable.

Liu Ruyun exclaimed in shock, “The quality of this medicinal spring is probably at least Grade 8 Heaven Rank! The medicinal spring in our Ancestor Dragon City cannot even compare to this.”

Heaven Rank was the highest rank for many things in the Great Thousand Realms, such as Medicinal Pills, Spirit Veins, Cultivation Techniques, Secret Techniques, and war chariots. Grade 8 Heaven Rank was below only Grade 9 Heaven Rank.

The two held their breaths, not saying anything as they sped up.

Fifteen minutes later, the two met up with Murong Yan, Wei Hongfei, and the others on the roof of a pavilion.

After exploring for a while, they should have had some personal gains. However, when compared to the medicinal spring and pill river, these would not be worth mentioning.

Murong Yan pointed to the front and said, “Look!”

Everyone looked in the direction he indicated and saw a vast herb garden in the distance.

A spring gushed endlessly in the center of the herb garden. A natural medicinal fragrance spread out in all directions.

There was also a vast pill river not far away, with a viscous, green liquid slowly flowing there.

It was indeed a pill river and a medicinal spring. Who knew how many Heaven Rank Medicinal Pills had accumulated in that pill river for it to reach its current horrifying level?

Aside from the medicinal spring and the pill river, the herb garden had many abandoned herb fields. Due to the lack of maintenance, many herbs rotted in the dirt, making one feel heartache.

Not far away from the medicinal spring was a huge, towering tree. However, as it was too far away, Xiao Chen could not clearly see it.

Occasionally, a spiritual fog appeared in the herb garden, obstructing everyone’s view and preventing them from surveying the garden in full.

“Earlier, a Sovereign Personage broke a hole in the barrier, and vast Medicinal Energy leaked out. However, that hole mended quickly. Now, everyone is just waiting. No one dares to act rashly.”

Murong Yan had arrived rather early, so he understood the situation slightly better than Xiao Chen and the others. “He is the one!”

An Initial Perfection Sovereign Personage?

There was a total of four substages to the Sovereign Stage: Initial Perfection, Small Perfection, Great Perfection, and Peak.

When reaching the level of Sovereign Personage, it was no longer like the Starry Sky Stage or the Holy Light Stage. Every substage was like the difference of an entire stage, a gap that made it hard for one to fight above their substage.

Even in Ancient Desolate Town, Sovereign Personages were very rare. Any faction would treat such people with respect.

In a Rank 6 sect, a Sovereign Personage could directly become an inner sect Elder. In the four dynasties, a Sovereign Personage could be directly conferred with nobility.

Xiao Chen quickly spotted the person that Murong Yan mentioned. That person was not old, appearing to be middle-aged. As that person frowned at the herb garden, he stood upright with his hands clasped behind his back.

“It looks like the barrier is not easy to break. Come, let’s go over and take a look.”

The six were too far away. As a result, Xiao Chen could not figure out the barrier. He led the others to fly over.

After a while, they arrived at the entrance to the herb garden.

“Where did this group of trash come from? Do you think that just anyone can come to the entrance of this herb garden?”

“Boom!”

Just as Xiao Chen landed, a Peak Holy Venerate, gray-robed old man attacked him.

As the gray-robed old man moved his hand, he looked very mighty. When his Veritable Essence Energy surged, his aura soared boundlessly.

Xiao Chen snorted coldly. The moment he raised his hand, he punched, clashing without any fear.

“Bang!”

When the fist and palm met, they were actually equal. Soon, the gray-robed old man found Xiao Chen’s fist light somewhat strange.

The fist light contained a saber intent that continuously shredded the gray-robed old man’s Veritable Essence Energy, trying to infiltrate into his body.

Although the gray-robed old man’s Veritable Essence Energy was vast, no matter how much he used, he could not block this strange Veritable Essence Energy.

Hence, the gray-robed old man quickly pulled his hand back and retreated.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Xiao Chen had no sooner landed on the ground than a few people leaped out from behind the gray-robed old man. They appeared ruthless, wanting to continue attacking Xiao Chen.

“Do you think you can bully others with greater numbers?”

Murong Yan and the others landed around Xiao Chen, not wanting to fall behind. Their extraordinary auras pressured the other party.

“Dragon Race cultivators!”

The gray-robed old man felt slightly startled as he backed off quickly, no longer daring to push this.

Now, Xiao Chen discovered that there were other people around the herb garden’s entrance, aside from the Sovereign Personage.

Those present were strong teams. Otherwise, they would not be able to remain here.

Without strength, others would not split the gains with one.

Aside from the Sovereign Personage, the rest gathered in groups of twos or threes, forming teams.

The middle-aged Sovereign Personage glanced at Xiao Chen’s group indifferently and said softly, “There are enough people around. Attack at the same time and break the barrier. Aside from you all, I, Liu Yuanzong, will mercilessly kill anyone else who tries to enter.”

Although the Sovereign Personage spoke softly, the people within fifty kilometers could hear him clearly.

These people felt a cold killing intent and a heavy threat in the casual tone.

Now, Xiao Chen and the others understood why the Sovereign Personage had not made his move yet. It turned out that the Sovereign Personage was not strong enough to break the barrier of this herb garden by himself.

The Sovereign Personage had been waiting for teams that could catch his attention.

Only the people who caught the Sovereign Personage’s attention were qualified to enter the herb garden. He truly was tyrannical.

However, as a Sovereign Personage, he was indeed qualified to be tyrannical.

“Senior Liu is right. Would Senior Liu please instruct us which spot to hit?” said the gray-clad old man, who attacked Xiao Chen earlier, somewhat sycophantically.

“Here!”

“Boom!”

Liu Yuanzong pointed, and a strand of resplendent sword Qi, with starlight surrounding it, shot out.

The instant the sword Qi appeared near the entrance to the herb garden, everyone’s chest tightened. The horrifying sword intent was startling.

Xiao Chen entered deep thought. This casual finger strike was already equal to thirty percent of his full power.

Even a Small Perfection Sovereign Personage could not underestimate this attack.

“Pu ci!”

The sword Qi entered the barrier of the herb garden. However, it only left an average-size crack that was healing rapidly.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Once Xiao Chen and the others knew where to attack, they did not hesitate to take action. Immediately, dazzling attacks shot towards the crack that Liu Yuanzong opened.

Amid everyone’s anticipatory gazes, a hole appeared in the barrier of the herb garden and continued to expand.

However, it only reached the size of a bowl at the end before starting to heal.

There was no way for anyone to enter.

“Damn it! You bunch of trash!”

Seeing that so many Holy Venerates could not break the herb garden’s barrier, Liu Yuanzong could not help getting angry.

“Unless we have a Soul Tool, there is no way to break the barrier of the herb garden,” Xiao Chen said suddenly. He had been sizing up the barrier of the herb garden in secret.

“Who do you think you are? Do you think you have the right to speak here?”

The gray-robed old man who attacked Xiao Chen earlier scolded, “Do you think you are more incredible than Senior Liu?”

Xiao Chen did not get angry. He retorted softly, “I do not dare to say that. However, I am still stronger than you. You cannot even receive a punch from me. You do not have the qualifications to speak.”

“You are seeking death!” the gray-robed old man roared, wanting to attack Xiao Chen again.

“Scram,” Liu Yuanzong shouted coldly, then casually waved his hand, knocking the gray-robed old man back. He looked at Xiao Chen and asked, “Do you have a way to enter the herb garden?”

Xiao Chen looked at the herb garden’s entrance and said, “Unless we have a Soul Tool, no one can barge in. I believe that before we arrived, Senior Liu must have tested all sorts of methods already.”

Liu Yuanzong’s heart turned cold. How did he know?

Indeed, Liu Yuanzong was the first to discover this herb garden. He had tried using his full-powered strike but failed to break the barrier.

Hence, he could only wait for people to arrive and attack together, to see if there were any opportunities. Who could have imagined that so many would still fail?

“Could it be that we cannot enter?!”

Seeing the garden so close yet inaccessible, many people showed pained expressions. The fortuitous encounter was right before them, but they could not grasp it. What could be more painful than this?

“What I’m saying is there we cannot forcibly enter, but we might be able to enter using other methods,” Xiao Chen continued, looking at everyone’s expressions.

“What?”

“Quickly say it! Faster! If you have a way, stop hiding it.”

“That’s right.”

Immediately, the crowd started clamoring for Xiao Chen to share the method at once.

Only Liu Yuanzong asked calmly, “What do you want?”

Xiao Chen pointed to the huge, towering tree in the center of the garden and replied, “That tree goes to me. As for the rest, it depends on everyone’s own ability.”

“Alright!” Liu Yuanzong thought for a while before choosing to agree as he looked at Xiao Chen.
