Chapter 62: Scattered Cultivator Dao Chen
"Five thousand miles? It'll probably take several days to walk. Shouldn't we set off now?" Lu Yufeng had already prepared to leave the Imperial Sword Sect. The Imperial Sword Sect would not provide flying artifacts for loose cultivators, so it was better to set off now and arrive on time. Besides, the trial was over, and staying in the Imperial Sword Sect was meaningless. Moreover, this was Lu Yufeng's first time encountering a relic site, so he had to go and take a look.
Along with Lu Yu Feng, many scattered cultivators who wanted to take a look also set out on the road. Of course, most of them just had an attitude of going to take a look. Who didn't know that when ruins opened, it was always those huge gains and the stage for the disciples of large sects?
Lu Yu Feng and the others walked for several days, finally arriving at the place where the ruins opened. They knew this was the place because all the hills were filled with people. Lu Yu Feng also found a random spot to sit down cross-legged. He didn't cultivate here as there were too many people around, making it difficult to focus on cultivation. Instead, he simply closed his eyes and rested his mind.
"This Daoist friend." Not long after Lu Yu Feng closed his eyes, someone sat down in front of him and said.
"What's the matter, fellow Taoist?" Mu Feng asked with his eyes open.
"This fellow Taoist, entering the ancient ruins, although there are many opportunities, but also many dangers, so I want to invite you to join hands together. When we get the benefits later, everyone will share equally." It seems that this person has already united with many people. In fact, he knew Lu Yu Feng and wasn't a close acquaintance, just someone who stood not far behind him when Lu Yu Feng didn't retreat from the trial platform, knowing his strength was formidable, so he came to invite Lu Yu Feng.
"This Daoist friend, I just came to take a look and didn't plan on entering the ruins, so I've disappointed you." Lu Yuefeng said, closing his eyes again. Lu Yuefeng was definitely going to enter the ruins, but he didn't want anyone to accompany him.
"In that case, I won't disturb you." The person had already seen that Lu Yufeng didn't want to come here with him, and no one wasn't thinking of entering the ancient ruins, so he backed off.
"Rumbling... rumbling...!" After Lu Yufeng had been waiting for two days, a loud thunderous sound came from the sky, and then an unusual phenomenon appeared.
In the sky, the winds and clouds gathered, all the clouds converged in one place, then slowly rotated into shape, forming a huge whirlpool. In the whirlpool, a flash of lightning thundered, "Boom!" A loud noise came from the whirlpool, making everyone feel an overwhelming pressure emanating from it. All those standing below felt crushed by the deafening sound and couldn't get up, while those with weaker abilities were directly pressed to the ground. "Boom!" Another loud noise echoed through the sky, as a beam of light shot out from the whirlpool, its oppressive power so great that even Lu Yufeng was forced to lie flat on the ground.
Everyone was struggling to hold on, hoping that this oppressive force would pass quickly. "Puff!" Lu Yufeng heard the sound of people constantly spitting up blood, apparently someone had been injured in resisting this oppressive force.
"Hmm!" Everyone heard a cold hum coming from afar, and then felt the pressure greatly reduced. They looked up at the sky to find that some Lou ships were flying in from a distance, with Yunyang Sect's Lou ship among them. As these Lou ships drew closer to the light pillar, their speed slowed down. It seemed that although there were strong cultivators on board resisting the pressure, they couldn't completely dispel it.
"Fellow Taoists, why don't we join hands and resist together? Otherwise, the disciples under my gate will not be able to get in." A voice floated out from one of the buildings.
"Alright! Let's join forces! Heaven and Earth, Law of the Seal!" Then, a giant white-striped eagle flew out from one of the building ships. This giant eagle was extremely large, not its true body, nor an illusion created by its true form. Lu Yu Feng knew that this was a cultivator's condensed Self-Law Seal, not their true body, but even more powerful than their true body. When a cultivator reached a certain level, they could condense their cultivation into a Self-Law Seal.
Only to see each building boat, flew out a statue of Ben Wo Fa Xiang, in an instant, the sky stood twelve statues of Ben Wo Fa Xiang, these statues seemed to be real people, emitting thick and powerful momentum. The twelve statues of Ben Wo Fa Xiang joined forces to resist the pressure of the whirlpool and the light column. For a moment, the people below felt no pressure, all the scattered cultivators stood up, casting grateful and admiring eyes at the twelve statues of Ben Wo Fa Xiang in the sky.
People who have just started, after all, are some scattered cultivators. Where can you see so many powerful people at once? Although there are also strong people among the scattered cultivators, they generally retreat to a certain place to seek breakthroughs, so these people are very envious of the Heavenly Self-Refining Dharma Body.
"This time, scattered cultivators are not allowed to enter!" A black and shiny Dharma image appeared in the sky, transmitting a voice. The content of this voice instantly destroyed all the good feelings that the scattered cultivators had towards them.
"What right do you have? What right do you have to stop us from entering?" Most of the loose cultivators shouted out, such unfair treatment was really hard for them to accept. Why couldn't loose cultivators enter? Of course, there were still many loose cultivators who didn't speak up, not because they weren't angry in their hearts, but because they knew that with their own cultivation level, they couldn't do anything in front of these people. The cultivation world, essentially, was still a place where might made right, whoever had the strongest power naturally got to call the shots.
"This time's remains are different from the previous ones, this kind of pressure, you can't bear it, we're helping to resist it for you. None of your loose cultivators have come out to help, so naturally you're not allowed to enter!" The black and shiny true self law body said.
"You can't be like this! Everyone is a cultivator, you can't be so overbearing!" Many scattered cultivators were also vying for attention, hoping to use great reasoning to make these large sect cultivators retreat.
"Alright, since that's the case, if you can withstand the pressure, then let them in!" The twelve Benyuan Fahui immediately withdrew their hands and retreated together, sealing off the building ship they had arrived on. This was to make these scattered cultivators understand reality, so they only protected the disciples of their own sect.
"Boom!" The oppressive force in the sky came down in an instant, and it seemed even more violent than before. All the scattered cultivators were pressed to the ground in an instant, and many people spat out blood and fainted.
"You've said it yourselves, scattered cultivators are no one's responsibility, and don't know what's good for them!" These Dharma protectors were not taking care of the scattered cultivator who was being pressed to the ground, but instead were laughing mockingly, this is the consequence of having no organization.
All the scattered cultivators on the ground looked up at the twelve Dharma bodies in the sky with a fierce gaze, but their eyes were not filled with hatred, but rather anger and sadness.
It's infuriating that on the path of cultivation, which is already full of thorns and hardships, these capable individuals cannot bear their own responsibilities, a tragic aspect of human nature. It's heartbreaking that I'm just a lone cultivator, lacking the powerful strength to support myself, even when faced with opportunities, I don't have the ability to seize them.
A cultivator lying on the ground, with a look of helplessness and sadness in his eyes, gazing up at the twelve Benwu Fa Xiang in the sky with tears that could not fall.
"You are strong, yet you have not shouldered the responsibilities of the strong. You are unworthy of your cultivation!" A lone cultivator spoke out harshly under immense pressure.
"Hmph, are we someone you can lecture?" The black-robed monk waved his hand and the loose cultivator flew out, sank into the ground, and spat out large mouthfuls of blood. It seemed that this strong man was not too ruthless and did not want his life.
"Hmph! It's strange indeed, none of you scattered cultivators are present!" The black-robed figure said with a playful tone.
"Who says I'm a lone cultivator with no one to rely on? You're courting death, Demon Old Man!" A faint voice came from afar, followed by an overwhelming pressure that swept across the area. Then, a long knife flew in from the distance and chopped down onto the dark, lacquered True Self Dharma Body.
"Boom!"
A loud crash echoed, suppressing the scattered cultivators' aura, and suddenly dispersed. The scattered cultivators immediately stood up, no one liked being pressed to the ground, then they saw the originally majestic Ben Wo Fa Xiang, instantly flew backwards, rolling up waves of fierce winds, this was the might of Ben Wo Fa Xiang.
Lu Yu Feng also saw in the sky, slowly there was a person approaching, this person flew not very fast, should say still somewhat slow, but gave people a kind of irresistible pressure, until this person flew in, Lu Yu Feng only then saw clearly that this was a middle-aged man, wearing black tight-fitting clothes, on his back carrying a black long knife, what made Lu Yu Feng feel even stranger was, this man had only one arm, logically speaking, such a strong person, could through various means make their severed arm regenerate, although spiritual medicine was hard to find, but also not to the extent that such strong people couldn't find any, why did this man keep his disability?
"Devilish old man, was it you who just said that I'm a rogue cultivator with no one to rely on?" The man flew closer and said calmly to the dark, expressionless face, his voice devoid of any emotion.
