I Cheated While Cultivating

Chapter 431: Chapter 150: The Great Five Elements Prohibition-Breaking Divine Light

Zhou Heng was standing quietly to the side, listening to the conversation among several Loose Immortals.

When the towering Loose Immortal began to speak, he couldn’t help but laugh, his gaze shifting as he said, “My fellow Taoist, what did you just say? I didn’t quite catch it.”

As these words were uttered, the Loose Immortals present scrutinized him anew, their Divine Senses sweeping over him as if trying to probe his true cultivation realm.

After all, his current demeanor did not match what one would expect from a normal Grandmaster in the presence of many Loose Immortals.

It was somewhat unusual.

For the Loose Immortals active in the Eastern Sea, the unusual meant danger.

One must be cautious.

However, there were those who were dismissive.

A cold smirk appeared on the face of the tall Loose Immortal as he floated in midair and slowly approached Zhou Heng, speaking indifferently, “Your act of composure is impressive; it has piqued my curiosity. What is your name?”

“If you can withstand this divine light, I’ll tell you my name,” Zhou Heng still wore a smile, raising his right hand as divine light circulated in his palm, condensing into a shadow resembling an ancient copper mirror.

Hum!

The void trembled lightly, and a beam of dark light burst forth from the illusion of the copper mirror, making all the Loose Immortals present feel as though they were facing the concept of death itself.

In an instant, the dark light enveloped the tall Loose Immortal, the dense aura of death immediately eroding his Dharma Phase, with all signs of life dissipating in the blink of an eye.

By the time the dark light faded, the Loose Immortal’s Dharma Phase was devoid of any life force, even the radiance of his Primordial Spirit extinguished, signifying his complete annihilation.

The Loose Immortal was dead.

A formidable Loose Immortal, one with an Immortal Yuan Spirit, had just died like that?

And at the hands of a Grandmaster?

The remaining four Loose Immortals stood dumbstruck, disbelieving what they saw, hardly able to trust their own eyes.

What exactly was that divine light just now?

How could it possess such power?

And what was the background of this Grandmaster, able to effortlessly kill a Loose Immortal with a lift of his hand?!

“Ouch! That seriously hurt!”

At that moment, a cry of pain resounded out of nowhere.

The shattered Dharma Phase of the tall Loose Immortal suddenly split open, and a small youth emerged from within, bearing a strong resemblance to the tall Loose Immortal.

“You little beast, die!” The youth’s eyes swept over to Zhou Heng and immediately turned incredibly fierce, filled with murderous intent, “I have cultivated for thousands of years; do you think such strange and ingenious tricks can end my life, you—”

He didn’t finish his sentence, nor did he even have the chance to make a move, as his voice abruptly stopped.

At the same time, black light erupted from his seven apertures, each filled with a dense deathly aura.

The scene from moments before repeated itself.

In an instant, the revived Loose Immortal became another corpse.

A deathly silence descended on the scene, with only the sound of the surging sea in the background.

“Under the divine light of Yin and Yang, actual and reverse, hoping to escape death with such a metamorphosis technique is far too naive,” Zhou Heng said with a cold laugh, the copper mirror illusion still in his hand, his gaze turning to the remaining four Loose Immortals.

The four Loose Immortals, witnessing the copper mirror illusion as if it were about to cast upon them, and with the recent demise of their companion fresh in their memories, were frightened into frantically avoiding it, not even daring to meet Zhou Heng’s gaze.

Loose Immortals are generally afraid of death.

If they were not afraid, they would not have chosen to become Loose Immortals.

“If he were still a Celestial Man, perhaps there would be a chance for survival, but unfortunately, a Loose Immortal is no longer a Celestial Man,” Zhou Heng surveyed his surroundings, his eyes sweeping over the remaining Loose Immortals one by one, and spoke indifferently, “Do you also wish to stop me?”

The four Loose Immortals all showed looks of indignation; to a Loose Immortal, there was nothing more insulting than being told they were “no longer Celestial Men.”

But the precedent was right beside them, and they dared not say anything.

“`

Dared to be angry but dared not speak.

“Let’s go!”

“Take care of yourself, Sir!”

“Hmph!”

The four Loose Immortals turned into escaping lights and left the area.

Knowing they were no match for Zhou Heng, they chose to leave directly.

After all, for Loose Immortals, preservation of life is of the utmost importance.

Had that towering Loose Immortal not possessed a method of resurrection, he likely wouldn’t have been so arrogant.

Unfortunately for them, they encountered Zhou Heng, the wielder of the Yin Yang Positive-Negative Divine Light.

For Zhou Heng, the opposition of these few Loose Immortals was nothing more than a minor interlude.

Apart from contributing a Silver Luck Bag, they had no other use.

…

…

The prohibition the Jiaoren Kingdom used to separate its interior from the exterior was extremely ingenious, leaving five Celestial Men with no clue how to bypass it.

For Zhou Heng as well, such restrictions were naturally extremely profound.

If one relied solely on their understanding of prohibitions and their own accomplishments in that field, to break through the barrier and successfully enter the Jiaoren Kingdom would be as difficult as reaching the heavens.

It was simply impossible.

However, Zhou Heng had another method.

He arrived at the center of the area where the five Loose Immortals had been sitting in meditation, spread out his Divine Sense, and used the Five Virtue Dharma Phase to sense fluctuations in the void. He quickly discovered a region where the principles of the Five Virtue Dharma were different from everywhere else.

The Five Virtues are related to humans; if a place is not frequently traversed or entered by people, then the principles of the Five Virtues in that area should be the same as the surroundings, and there should be no abnormalities.

This abnormal area could very well be one of the regular passageways the Jiaoren Kingdom used for moving in and out.

If one normally entered or exited using standard methods, there must be special magical techniques to open the gates or passageways; otherwise, it would be inaccessible.

“There’s no repulsion of the Five Virtue principles here, nor any signs of material rules being defied, which means that both the Heaven-Born Prohibition and any man-made barriers are still based on materials,” Zhou Heng judged inwardly, then extended his right hand with fingers splayed. Immediately, his five fingers each lit up with lights of different colors, different atmospheres, different patterns.

Five colors!

White, blue, black, red, yellow!

Five Elements!

Metal, wood, water, fire, earth!

Soon after, the five-colored brilliance merged and swirled together, condensing into one, spinning and twirling, emitting electrical sparks like elemental magnetism, as though it had the power to decompose all materials in the world.

This was the Great Five Elements Elemental Magnetism Extinguishing Divine Light, an Absolute Fourth Rank Taoist Formula.

It also had another name, “Great Five Elements Prohibition-Breaking Divine Light,” which had a restraining effect on all prohibition constructs based on materials in the world, enabling one to forcefully penetrate or even destroy them.

Although Zhou Heng had not had the Taoist Formula for long, he already had experience and insight in using the Five Colors Divine Light, and had also forged the Five Virtue Dharma Phase, which had many similarities with the Five Elements Taoist Formulas. His practice of it thus doubled the results with half the effort.

At this moment, he was already able to make preliminary use of this Taoist Formula.

“Open for me!”

Zhou Heng bellowed, and the Great Five Elements Prohibition-Breaking Divine Light in his palm circulated five colored glows, flashing with electrical light, directly shattering the void in front of him and opening a gateway.

He leaped through, the five-colored brilliance vanished, and the gateway closed behind him.

With that, Zhou Heng had finally set foot on the land of the Jiaoren Kingdom.
