It was literally a mountain of pressure, just as though Mount Tai itself was pressing down on him!
But why did the ‘Mount Tai Seal’ end up sealing his body?
After all, the old man should still be a powerhouse of the Fourth or Fifth Stage. No matter how blind he was, it should be impossible for him to hit the wrong target with the sealing technique, right?
Was it intentional then? Yeah, that must be it!
❄️❄️❄️
Of course, the old man didn’t do it on purpose… since the speed of the sword light was too fast, he used a technique to lock its aura, executing the Mount Tai Seal immediately after.
But what he locked onto earlier was obviously the aura of the sword light… he also didn’t know why the ray of the seal had suddenly curved and hit Song Shuhang’s body.
The old man was likewise dumbfounded and had no idea what was happening.
❄️❄️❄️
Song Shuhang was unaware that the old man had used an aura-locking technique. Otherwise, he could have more or less guessed the reason the ray hit him.
The sword light carrying around the gourd was one of Venerable White’s disposable flying swords and thus had his aura. On the other hand, Song Shuhang also had with him the ‘Ten Thousand Mile Flying Escape Technique’ Senior White gave him, which also happened to have his aura.
Therefore, after the old man used the aura-locking technique and launched the Mount Tai Seal, there was a 50-50 chance that it would hit either Song Shuhang or the sword light.
Both Song Shuhang and sword light were considered as potential targets of the sealing technique.
Perhaps because Song Shuhang’s original dao name was also ‘Stressed by a Mountain of Books’, the Mount Tai Seal’s favorable impression of him increased by 1 point and thus decided to head toward him…?
Under the pressure of Mount Tai itself, Song Shuhang’s bones started making crackling noises, and he felt as though his whole body was being flattened.
❄️❄️❄️
“Dammit, the Mount Tai Seal that I took so much time to prepare…!!!” The old man almost exploded with anger and roared, “If not for that brat appearing out of nowhere, I would have already sealed the gourd on the sword light! Bastard!”
Just as the Mount Tai Seal fell on Song Shuhang’s body, the plan of the old man and his companions failed. His companions sprinted forward for nothing, and their relationship was also exposed. The several nearby cultivators started to secretly take precautions against them.
The old man and his companions tried to gain an unfair advantage only to end up worse off.
The sword light was still carrying the Soul Devouring Demonic Gourd forward, its speed as fast as before.
The large group of cultivators kept chasing after it in a frenzy.
The old man and his several companions gritted their teeth and decided to keep chasing after the flying sword as well.
As for that kid that was sealed by the Mount Tai Seal by mistake… the old man had no intention of wasting time to save him. The fact that he didn’t go over to give Song Shuhang a few kicks was merciful enough.
At this time, the most important thing was to keep chasing after the sword light and the Soul Devouring Demonic Gourd. Who had the time to waste on seals and whatnot?
❄️❄️❄️
Just in this fashion, the group of powerful cultivators swiftly passed by Song Shuhang.
Song Shuhang’s body bore the huge pressure of the Mount Tai Seal and was pushed downward.
Of course, the concept of ‘direction’ was non-existent in space. It was just Song Shuhang’s mind feeling as though he was being pushed downward.
Song Shuhang used all his strength and asked, “Jiaojiao, can you untie this seal?”
“It’s a seal of the Fifth Stage rank. It would take me several days to untie it,” Yu Jiaojiao replied. “By the time I’m done untying the seal, it would probably lose its power and disappear on its own.”
The only purpose of the Mount Tai Seal was to slow down the speed of the flying sword transporting the Soul Devouring Demonic Gourd. It wasn’t anything like those seals that could last for hundreds or thousands of years. There was no need to break it since one only had to wait for around three or four days for the spiritual energy inside to deplete and the seal to disappear.
“In other words, there is no difference whether the seal is destroyed or not?” Song Shuhang forced a smile.
❄️❄️❄️
Time flew by.
It had been already more than three hours since the Mount Tai Seal had sealed Song Shuhang.
At first, Song Shuhang was planning to practice in the proximity of the moon and temper his body to strengthen his constitution.
But now, he was unable to do anything.
Due to the pressure of the Mount Tai Seal, he couldn’t even move a finger. His body was pressed flat, and his bones were on the verge of breaking.
While sealed, Song Shuhang subconsciously thought of operating the ❮Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Technique❯ and use his true qi to resist the pressure generated by the seal.
But just as he tried to operate his true qi, the true qi inside his Sea of Qi Dantian and Dragon Tail Dantian started to surge up, and a stabbing pain was transmitted from his dantian.
When he ate the sheep-type spirit beast crystal during his dream back then, the true qi inside his dantian had increased to the point of bursting.
He had two options now. He could either wait for several months and allow his body to slowly adapt and absorb the true qi that came from the spirit beast crystal or strengthen his constitution, allowing his body to accommodate the extra quantity of true qi.
But his true qi wasn’t the only problem… there was also the mental energy located between his eyebrows. In the instant he operated his true qi, he felt a stabbing pain in his head as well.
Therefore, Song Shuhang immediately stopped operating the ❮Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Technique❯.
❄️❄️❄️
But if he couldn’t defend against the terrifying pressure of the Mount Tai Seal, his whole body would crumble under its pressure.
The skin on his body had started cracking. The cracks were the same as the ones that appear on pottery. Very soon, Song Shuhang’s whole body was covered with blood.
“Open your mouth and eat this medicine.” Yu Jiaojiao’s voice was transmitted at this time.
Yu Jiaojiao was also affected by this seal of the Fifth Stage rank, but she was much better off than Song Shuhang. She felt body her body a bit heavy, but the seal wasn’t strong enough to injure her.
Fairy Firefly had arranged a defensive formation on the space capsule earlier. Therefore, the effects of the Mount Tai Seal were much weaker on it.
Li Yinzhu was also a cultivator of the Fourth Stage Realm. Therefore, she wasn’t afraid of such a seal.
On the other hand, Chu Chu was immobilized by the strength of the seal and couldn’t move. But due to the protection of the space capsule, aside from feeling her body very heavy and being unable to move, she didn’t need to worry about getting injured.
Yu Jiaojiao placed the medicinal pill inside Song Shuhang’s mouth.
It was a pretty good wound-treating medicinal pill that could be taken orally. The pill melted in Song Shuhang’s mouth, and the strength of the medicine spread to each corner of his body, starting to heal his wounds.
Song Shuhang forced a smile and said, “Will I have to keep taking medicinal pills for the whole duration of the seal?
Yu Jiaojiao replied, “There seems to be no other way for now.”
❄️❄️❄️
Suffering the pressure of the Mount Tai Seal, getting injured, taking a medicinal pill, slowly recovering his wounds…
This cycle kept repeating over and over again.
At this time, Song Shuhang’s mouth was full of a bitter taste. After all, a good medicine always tasted bitter. Even if these medicinal pills belonged to the world of cultivators, they still had a very bitter taste.
“I feel that there is no difference between a salted fish and me at this time…” Song Shuhang said.
He needed to work out a bit.
At this time, he couldn’t move a finger and was thus unable to use the ❮Basic Buddhist Fist Technique❯.
He couldn’t use the ❮True Self Meditation Scripture❯ and ❮Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Technique❯ either because he would explode if he were to do so.
Under these circumstances, he could only use one cultivation technique…
The ❮Immovable Body of the Buddha❯.
It was a supplementary body tempering technique that could strengthen the defense of one’s body. While practicing this technique, he didn’t need to move around like he had to with a fist technique. He could use it even while being perfectly still. Through the ❮Immovable Body of the Buddha❯, he could absorb the energy inside his body and use it to strengthen his constitution.
It was the only thing that Song Shuhang could do at this time.
❄️❄️❄️
Another three hours later.
Song Shuhang felt that his constitution had strengthened quite a bit.
Under the pressure of the Mount Tai Seal, his body was continuously wounded and restored. If we add the tempering effects of the ❮Immovable Body of the Buddha❯, the strength of his constitution could only rise.
Perhaps he could strengthen his constitution until it could withstand his current level of true qi and mental energy while he was inside the Mount Tai Seal for these several days, saving him from this dangerous situation where his body could explode at any moment.
Whenever there was great pressure, there would be great motivation as well!
The larger the pressure, the larger the latent capacity that human beings could bring forth!
This time, I might have profited from this misfortune… Song Shuhang thought to himself.
Just as Song Shuhang was in deep thoughts, Li Yinzhu’s voice was transmitted beside his ear. “Careful, there is someone coming in this direction.”
Song Shuhang immediately stopped practicing the ❮Immovable Body of the Buddha❯ and moved his eyes, looking toward a distant place.
He saw a fiery red dot of light quickly approaching from a distant place.
The fiery red light was extremely quick, and it arrived in front of Song Shuhang after a few breaths of time.
It was a man with red hair and red beard. The robe he was wearing was also red, just like the hacking blade he was holding in his hands. He was red all over his body.
Spiritual energy was surging on the body of the opposite party. He didn’t bother hiding his cultivation. The man standing before their eyes was a respectable Fifth Stage Spiritual Emperor.
“I’ve finally found you,” the red-haired man said with a smile. Then, he stretched out his hand and pressed on the Mount Tai Seal that was covering Song Shuhang’s body, shouting, “Break!”
The spiritual energy surged and clashed against the Mount Tai Seal. At this time, the Mount Tai Seal had changed into the shape of a golden bell and had tightly wrapped Song Shuhang’s body.
The red-haired man was precisely eliminating this outer layer of the seal.
❄️❄️❄️
Yu Jiaojiao asked, “Shuhang, is he a friend of yours?”
“I don’t know him,” Song Shuhang replied. He was also confused. He had never met this red-haired man before. Such being the case, why had the opposite party come to this place and started removing the Mount Tai Seal on his body?
Moreover, it didn’t seem as though the opposite party was casually passing by… it seemed that this man had been specifically looking for him.
Song Shuhang had no idea as to what this red-haired man had in mind.
Since he didn’t know if the opposite party was a friend or foe, it was better to take some precautions against him. Song Shuhang slowly moved his hand toward his size-reducing purse.
Yu Jiaojiao also started to secretly prepare a defensive technique, quietly accumulating her strength and waiting to enter into action.
A minute later.
“Crack!”
The Mount Tai Seal was brutally smashed to pieces!
Song Shuhang immediately felt his body become light… it was truly a wonderful feeling. Unfortunately, there was currently no time to enjoy it. Song Shuhang quickly stretched out his hand and put it inside the size-reducing purse, grabbing the silver dragon puppet.
Yu Jiaojiao also carefully looked at the red-haired man.
“Hehe, you’re rather attentive…” the red-haired man said with a smile. Then, he stretched his hand toward Song Shuhang and made a grabbing motion, saying, “But what’s the point? Do you really think you can escape from me?”
Just as the red-haired man stretched his hand out and made that grabbing motion, a big red-colored hand appeared in the void, completely covering Song Shuhang’s body. It was obviously one of the techniques of the red-haired man.
“Vast sea, protect me and turn the mighty waves into my defense!” Yu Jiaojiao shouted and her small claws danced in the air.
Soon after, a light-blue shield appeared before Song Shuhang’s body, blocking the incoming red-colored hand.
Just as the big hand and the shield bumped into each other, the light-blue shield started crumbling.
“It’s the right time, let’s quickly run away!” Yu Jiaojiao shouted. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World.Site Only
The opposite party was a Fifth Stage Spiritual Emperor, and they didn’t have any chance of succeeding if they were to fight him head-on.
Song Shuhang quickly took out the silver dragon puppet and activated it. Afterward, he tightly held onto the space capsule and jumped on the back of the dragon.
“Get away from here as quickly as possible!” Song Shuhang operated the silver dragon puppet.
The eyes of the silver dragon lit up. Next, it changed into a silver light, quickly disappearing to a distant place.
“A puppet capable of flight?” the red-haired man said with a smile. Flying puppets had a pretty good speed while compared to cultivators of the Fourth Stage… but they were far from enough to deal with a cultivator of the Fifth Stage!
