The original repairer

Chapter 259 The Mystery of 'Immortal Island and Spiritual Mountain'

Shi Chen's heart tightened: I just entered the formation and was hit by a lightning from the divine thunder formation. It seems that you didn't stop the formation in time, but now you want me to stop and break the formation, haha!

But his hands showed no intention of stopping and continued to circulate spiritual power.

That anxious voice sounded again: "Fellow Daoist, don't be impulsive. If you break this formation, it will lead to unpredictable consequences."

Shi Chen snorted coldly, remaining unmoved. He knew full well that the person who had set up the formation was no good, and his dissuasion was merely to protect his sinister plan.

As Shi Chen's spiritual energy continued to flow, the vibrations of the formation became more and more intense. The already shaky Nine Revolutions Chain Formation seemed on the verge of complete collapse at any moment.

The voice inside the Dao Cave became even more anxious: "Daoyou, do you know that once the secret hidden in this formation is released, the entire cultivation world may be plunged into a huge crisis."

Shi Chen frowned slightly. Although there was a trace of doubt in his heart, it was quickly replaced by determination.

The owner of the voice in the cave sensed Shi Chen's thoughts and quickly said, "Fellow Daoist, please listen to my explanation first. If you still want to break the formation after listening to it, I won't stop you, but you will have to bear the consequences of destroying the formation."

Shi Chen stopped circulating his spiritual power, frowned, and waited in the cave for explanation with a cold face.

Seeing the person who broke the formation stop and did not say anything, a voice came from inside the cave: "Thirty thousand years ago, there was a large sect in this cultivation world that almost dominated the entire cultivation world. Ten thousand years ago, this sect was destroyed by a coalition of many sects."

Shi Chen didn't say anything, but listened quietly to the explanation from the voice in the cave.

He noticed that the cultivator who broke the formation was calm and composed. He didn't rush him, but just listened attentively. He paused in the cave and continued, "The leader of this sect came here to find a spiritual object to regenerate his spiritual roots, but was imprisoned on this island. That person is me!"

"The leader of the Five Elements Sect? He didn't die? He's lived for tens of thousands of years with his combined cultivation?" Shi Chen was puzzled, but remained silent, waiting for the next words.

"I discovered that this so-called fairy island and sacred mountain is actually a burial ground. One hundred thousand years ago, after a great war between monks, someone deliberately collected the bones of millions of monks and placed them here. As for their purpose, I have not been able to find it so far." A voice came from the cave.

After a three-breath pause, the voice in the cave continued, “A corpse is sealed here, in a jade coffin. The Nine Revolutions Chain Array corresponds to the sealing array.

As long as the Nine Revolutions Chain Array is destroyed, the sealing array will also be broken.

Back then, I was just like you, relying on my own superb formation skills to break the formation and take away the treasure that sealed the corpse in the jade coffin.

However, he didn't expect that the Nine Revolutions Formation stopped and the sealing formation began to loosen. He was frightened by the evil aura in the jade coffin and almost died.

He sacrificed his physical body, restored the seal, and reopened the Nine Revolutions Chain Formation before he was able to seal the evil energy in the jade coffin again.

You must break the Nine Revolutions Chain Formation. When the being inside the jade coffin awakens, you and I will both perish here."

Having said this, the voice stopped, waiting for Shi Chen's response.

A hundred thousand years ago, a great war in the Immortal Court? Thirty thousand years ago? The Five Elements Sect? The Five Elements Sect Master was trapped here, his body destroyed?

Using the corpses of millions of monks to suppress the person in the jade coffin, this person must have been an extremely terrifying existence a hundred thousand years ago.

Shi Chen was silent for a long time, and finally asked, "Who is in that jade coffin? Why is it sealed like this?"

"I don't know. There is no clue here. There are only nine chains that seal the jade coffin in the air. You can vaguely see a pair of remains and several treasures in the jade coffin." A voice came from the cave.

"What's your current situation? As far as I know, in this world of cultivation, one can only cultivate to the point of perfect fusion and cannot continue to advance. When one reaches the perfect fusion stage, the lifespan is at most ten thousand years. How can you live for more than thirty thousand years?" Shi Chen said.

"I no longer have a physical body, only my spirit remains. I have been repairing the formation for nearly ten thousand years, and my time is running out." A voice came from the cave.

Shi Chen was slightly shocked upon hearing this. A once-powerful leader of the Five Elements Sect had now fallen to such a fate, with only his True Spirit struggling to hold on, and his days were numbered. He stared at the cave, his mind racing.

"What are your plans now?" Shi Chen asked.

The cave was silent for a moment, and then the voice sounded again: "I am powerless to save the situation. I only hope that no one will destroy this Nine Revolutions Chain Formation before I disappear, so as to prevent the terrifying being in the jade coffin from awakening and wreaking havoc on the world."

Shi Chen fell into deep thought. He knew that if he left now, his hopes of finding another spiritual root treasure would become even slimmer, but continuing to break the formation could bring unbearable consequences. He weighed the pros and cons in his mind, unable to make a decision for a long time.

"Are you sure there is a treasure in the jade coffin that can renew your spiritual roots?" Shi Chen asked.

"Not sure." A voice came from the cave.

"I heard that there were cultivators whose spiritual roots were severed who came here, and later their spiritual roots were reconnected. Could it be this island?" Shi Chen asked.

The cave was silent for a moment before a voice slowly emerged: "Three hundred years ago, a cultivator indeed came here, but his spiritual roots were not completely severed. I have studied this for ten thousand years and have some insights. I will give him the method to recuperate his spiritual roots and send him on his way."

"I see. But since you are also here to find a method or treasure to renew your spiritual roots, have you found it?" Shi Chen asked.

After a while, no sound came from the cave.

Shi Chen was even more confused. He waited quietly, but the cave was still silent.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.

After a long while, Shi Chen finally couldn't help but speak again: "Why don't you answer, senior? Is there something you can't say?" However, the only response he got was still silence.

Shi Chen frowned and began to think about the reason.

Could it be that the Five Elements Sect's leader had truly found a method or treasure to reconnect his spiritual roots, but didn't want to share it with others? Or perhaps he had found nothing at all and didn't know how to respond?

Shi Chen stared at the hole, trying to discern some clues. But the dark hole seemed like a bottomless mystery, leaving no room for comprehension.

"Senior, if you really have any discoveries, please let me know. I'm in urgent need of spiritual roots to rescue an important person." Shi Chen's tone was filled with earnestness.

But there was still no response from the cave. Shi Chen sighed helplessly, knowing that further questioning would likely yield no results. But he was unwilling to give up, and his heart was in deep conflict.

"Since senior doesn't tell me, I won't break this Nine Revolutions Chain Formation. I'll say goodbye now!" Shi Chen said, waving his hands. Thirty-six formation flags flew back to his hands from all directions and were put into his storage ring.

He turned around, flew over the foul pool of blood, and headed down to the beach. All he saw along the way were corpses and piles of bones.

Until they reached the island beach, Shi Chen turned his head and looked behind him. Corpses were everywhere, and piles of bones formed a mountain. The resentment was absorbed by the formation and transformed into wisps of black mist, connecting to the blood pool on the mountainside.
