Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal-Chapter 354 - 102: Celestial Feather Sect: Damn, I’ve Fallen Into Their Trap!

Chapter 354: Chapter 102: Celestial Feather Sect: Damn, I’ve Fallen Into Their Trap!

Master Yun Yi and Master Jin Hong, upon arriving on the flying ship, went into closed-door healing.

After several days of recuperation, Master Jin Hong had recovered.

However, both his legs were forever gone, causing the meridians in his body to be deficient, making future cultivation progress near impossible.

His combat strength would also decline significantly.

Master Yun Yi, on the other hand, was far more severely injured.

Even after taking the treasured Tier Three Middle-Grade Healing Pill, the situation remained dire. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

A strike from a Middle-Grade Magical Treasure nearly took his life, if not for the inner armor he wore and his cultivation reaching the Middle-Stage Core Formation, he might have perished on the spot.

It wasn’t until the eighth day that his injuries were stabilized.

However, this severe injury drastically reduced his lifespan once again.

Originally he had only about forty years of life left, and after sustaining such a blow, it was estimated that he would fade away within a few years upon returning to the sect.

On the ninth day, Master Yun Yi finally emerged from closed-door healing.

Master Profound Cloud, Master Jin Hong, and a group of Fake Pill Cultivators quickly gathered around.

"Grand Elder!"

"Daoist Brother Profound Cloud!"

The crowd greeted him.

Master Yun Yi’s face was pale, completely devoid of blood, as he glanced around at everyone, noticing Master Jin Hong was seated in a wheelchair, with nothing below the knees.

His face involuntarily showed a trace of heartache.

Cloud Light Sect was about to face an extraordinarily difficult period.

"How’s the situation?" Master Yun Yi asked.

"So far, there are no signs of Celestial Feather Sect cultivators!" Master Zong Yu replied.

He was Sunx Yuanque’s grandfather, who happened to rotate to Golden Ape Valley today and participated in this battle.

He was one of Cloud Light Sect’s strongest Fake Pill cultivators, and among the three who fought against Celestial Feather Sect’s Fourth Elder, he was one.

"Wangchuan Lake, how much longer?"

"With our speed, it will roughly take fifteen more days, but... If Master Wangchuan receives the news and comes to aid us, we might meet him by tomorrow!"

Master Zong Yu spoke.

"We need to accelerate!"

"They might be catching up with us already!" Master Yun Yi said gravely.

"Nine days and yet no pursuit. Could it be they split their forces to attack other locations?"

At this moment, Master Jin Hong voiced his speculation.

"Impossible!" Master Yun Yi shook his head.

"They didn’t catch up because they were stopped by the array!"

"Don’t they have the Tier Three Middle-Grade Forbidden-Breaking Talisman?" Master Jin Hong asked in confusion.

"Not the Three Realms Middle-Grade!" Master Yun Yi recalled the scene from that day, revealing a look of regret.

"That day, we were anxious. Only now do I realize, it was clearly a Tier Three Low-Grade Forbidden-Breaking Talisman, merely camouflaged by an illusion technique,"

"No wonder I felt something was off that day!" At this time, Master Profound Cloud also added.

"To be deceived by him!"

"No matter, this person broke through to Late-Stage Core Formation, Golden Ape Valley was destined not to hold, we merely delayed for a few more days!" Master Yun Yi shook his head.

With Late-Stage Core Formation cultivators in action, their Tier Three Middle-Grade Defense Array would inevitably not hold for long.

"That’s why the Mountain Protection Array delayed their actions, which is why they haven’t caught up until now!"

The Core Formation Cultivators suddenly realized.

"We cannot take things lightly, quickly instruct them to accelerate!" Master Yun Yi commanded.

"If my guess is correct, they surely split into two groups, with a small elite force chasing us!" Master Yun Yi saw through Celestial Feather Sect’s intentions at once.

"Alright, I’ll give the orders!" Master Zong Yu nodded, then turned and left.

Not long after, the whole team increased their speed significantly once more.

However, just as they accelerated for less than two hours, a panicked voice broke their illusions.

"Th... Celestial Feather Sect people have caught up!"

In the distance behind their team, four black dots were rapidly closing in.

With their eyesight, they naturally recognized those four black dots as Celestial Feather Sect’s flying ships.

Hearing the commotion, Master Yun Yi immediately came to the deck.

He looked far into the distance at the four flying ships.

"Indeed, they’ve come after all!"

Master Yun Yi murmured.

Everyone’s faces looked serious.

Now, Master Yun Yi was severely injured, and Master Jin Hong’s combat strength was weakened.

On the opposing side were five True Pill cultivators, including one Late-Stage Core Formation.

This was not something they could handle at present.

"Grand Elder, what should we do?"

Someone asked at this moment.

Master Yun Yi scanned the crowd, seeing many with fearful expressions.

"The situation has reached this point, only a death battle remains!" Master Yun Yi said slowly.

Upon hearing this, the crowd was shocked!

"Of course, it’s my death battle!" Master Yun Yi chuckled lightly and continued:

"My life span is already short, returning is merely surviving, today let me block them for you!"

"Grand Elder, you must not!" Master Jin Hong’s expression changed.

The other Core Formation Cultivators also tried to persuade!

"No more words!" Master Yun Yi raised his hand, stopping everyone’s speech.

He then faced Master Jin Hong and transmitted, "Brother, if our Cloud Light Sect ever has a day of prosperity, it all rests on Xueying, do you know this?"

Master Jin Hong, upon hearing this, remained silent for a long while, then nodded and replied:

"Rest assured, Brother, for the sake of Cloud Light Sect’s future, since you are willing to face death, how could I hesitate over a title,"

"In the future, I will certainly assist Junior Nephew Xueying well!"

Upon hearing this, Master Yun Yi nodded with satisfaction:

Then he glanced at the Cloud Light Sect Core Formation Cultivators, clasped his hands in salute and said:

"Gentlemen, the future of the Cloud Light Sect depends on you!"

With that, he took off the storage bag from his waist, handed it to Master Jin Hong, and then ascended into the air, flying in the opposite direction, transforming into a yellow spirit light.

He rushed towards the pursuing Celestial Feather Sect forces in the distance.

Master Profound Cloud showed a sorrowful expression and waved his hand to give an order:

"Advance quickly!"

...

In less than a cup of tea’s time, Master Yun Yi had arrived in front of the Celestial Feather Sect’s flying ship.

"Master Yun Yi, do you intend to stop our flying ship alone?" The Third Elder of the Celestial Feather Sect shouted loudly, standing at the head of the ship.

Master Yun Yi laughed heartily, with a disdainful expression, said:

"I am the First Cultivator of Xui Country, the Grand Elder of the Cloud Light Sect, you are not worthy to fight me!"

"You!" The bald-headed Third Elder was enraged by these words and was about to take action.

The Grand Elder of the Celestial Feather Sect raised his hand to stop his action.

"I have also heard of the name of Master Yun Yi, and seeing you today, surely you are magnificent!"

"Hahaha!"

Master Yun Yi laughed heartily, then glared angrily at the Grand Elder of the Celestial Feather Sect:

"Old fogey, you disregard righteousness, invade my Xui Country, slaughter my people. Today, as the Grand Elder of the Cloud Light Sect, I challenge you!"

"Do you dare to fight?"

Master Yun Yi roared hoarsely, his rage reaching the heavens!

"Since you have this intention, I shall oblige. After I ascend the Cloud Light Mountain Range, I’ll build a tomb for you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his mouth slightly opened, and a golden light flew out, transforming into a large golden bell.

Master Yun Yi also summoned his own lifebound magical treasure, simultaneously burning his essence blood, a giant hammer more than eighty zhang tall,

carrying overwhelming power, smashed towards the golden bell.

Boom!

A tremendous explosion shook the heavens, the aftermath of the collision whipped up fierce winds, making the clothes of everyone on the flying ship flutter wildly.

This strike was evenly matched!

Exerting all his strength, Master Yun Yi burned his life, his battle power astonishingly equaled that of the late-stage Core Formation Grand Elder of the Celestial Feather Sect.

"Well done, truly satisfying!"

The Grand Elder of the Celestial Feather Sect laughed heartily.

With a change in spell, the golden bell expanded by an additional three parts, carrying the might of the late-stage Core Formation, it fiercely suppressed Master Yun Yi.

Instead of retreating, Master Yun Yi advanced, wielding the giant hammer straight at the Grand Elder of the Celestial Feather Sect.

At the same time, the distance to the Celestial Feather Sect Grand Elder was about fifty zhang, the nearest flying ship was over four hundred zhang away, and the furthest was over nine hundred zhang!

Master Yun Yi repeated the spell incantation with both hands, pointing at himself.

In an instant, the mana in his dantian stirred up violently.

Perceiving the changes within his body, Master Yun Yi smiled, looking towards the direction of the Cloud Light Sect, his gaze filled with reluctance.

Subsequently, a violent spiritual power erupted from within him.

"Boom!"

With a deafening bang, a dazzling white light immediately engulfed everything within a thousand zhang.

Master Yun Yi, self-detonated!

The Grand Elder of the Celestial Feather Sect noticed something was wrong the instant it happened.

However, he was too close and barely had time to summon a defense talisman!

The self-detonation of a peak middle-stage Core Formation cultivator, its power was unimaginably terrifying.

The blinding white light instantly swallowed him, shattering the outermost light shield, then the second layer.

Just as the white light was about to touch his physical body, a golden light rose up on his body’s surface.

As a Grand Elder, naturally, he possessed numerous life-saving items.

Yet amidst such rampant power, it still shattered, then hurled his physical body far away.

Life or death unknown.

On the other hand, on the nearest flying ship, seeing this, the Celestial Feather Sect’s Second Elder and others were greatly alarmed, and immediately summoned their defense treasures.

Then, the white light directly crushed onto the flying ship’s defense light shield, subsequently throwing the entire flying ship far away.

Many light shields shattered, and many figures were thrown out.

The three flying ships further back, being farther away and having time to prepare, were not as severely damaged.

But since most of those on board were Foundation Establishment Cultivators, they were nonetheless quite injured.

This desperate strike from Master Yun Yi actually crippled the pursuing forces of the Celestial Feather Sect.

...

In the distance, Master Profound Cloud and others were rapidly driving their flying ships forward.

Suddenly, hearing a tremendous explosion from behind, then seeing a dazzling white light, how could they not know what had occurred?

"Daoist Brother Yun Yi!"

"Grand Elder!" The cultivators of the Cloud Light Sect turned red-eyed one after another.

However, they could only hasten their mana, fearing to waste the opportunity Master Yun Yi exchanged at the cost of his life.

Hundreds of flying ships rapidly distanced themselves.

...

On another side, Zhou Xun also sensed the earth-shattering explosion, prompting him to surge his mana and speed forward.

Before long, he saw the approaching hundreds of flying ships.

Thus, he flew to meet them.

"Daoist Zhou, you’ve finally arrived!"

Seeing Zhou Xun’s figure, Master Profound Cloud displayed a complex expression.

Behind him, Master Jin Hong, Master Zong Yu, and dozens of other Core Formation cultivators stood together, all greeting him.

Zhou Xun scanned the scene but didn’t see Master Yun Yi, a bad feeling rising in his heart, he immediately asked.

"Why don’t I see Daoist Yun Yi?"

"Senior brother... he went alone to block the Celestial Feather Sect’s forces, just now... he self-detonated!"
