Chapter 2968: Entrapment!
Jiangnan was cultivating peacefully in the Life Forbidden Zone, and felt that he had reached his limit again, so he thought about skipping forward a few days! After all, he couldn't just live through these three hundred years day by day—that would be unbearably boring! Actually, Jiangnan could even directly skip to three hundred years later for his emergence from cultivation, then take the Immortal Boat Star and go back! But that would be meaningless, right? Jiangnan came here to escape reality on one hand, and to improve himself on the other! Otherwise, with his current strength, going back would be completely useless—he still wouldn't be able to handle the situation in the Ten Thousand Races Starry Sky World! Moreover, although there is a time difference between the two sides, if Jiangnan skipped three hundred years here, only three years would have passed in reality over there! Whether this would kill off future possibilities, Jiangnan didn't know! Regarding such matters, Jiangnan didn't want to take any risks at all! At most, he dared to look forward only a little—because of the time difference, the reality of the Ten Thousand Races Starry Sky World hadn't progressed much, so he wasn't too afraid!
However, Jiangnan had only looked forward a few days when Tianhu Daoren brought a swarm of wandering cultivators over! The cultivators surged in like a flood, clearly heading for the Immortal Boat Star! Seeing this, Jiangnan's face filled with gloom—if he had known this would happen, he would have just sealed Tianhu Daoren away for three hundred years! He had flicked him so far away, yet he had organized people and come back so quickly? He was really persistent! Under these circumstances, Jiangnan couldn't continue to lie low in the Life Forbidden Zone—he absolutely couldn't let them discover the Immortal Boat Star!
In the next instant, the Black Hole Devouring Star directly disappeared, Jiangnan's Eternal Glazed Body emerged, and he immediately entered the fourth dimension! And that Shen Tongzi was stunned for a moment!
(｡･ˇ_ˇ･) "Huh? What's going on?"
Tianhu Daoren said nervously:
(￢益￢٥) "What's wrong? Is there something abnormal?"
Shen Tongzi rubbed his eyes:
(｡•́益ก̀｡) "I just thought I saw a Star-Devouring Star disappear out of thin air!"
Ling Kuishi rolled his eyes:
(꒪ั益꒪ั*) "A Star-Devouring Star disappearing out of thin air? Your eyes must be playing tricks on you. How many people in this world can make a Star-Devouring Star disappear? Even the Great Derivative Sword Immortal would find it difficult. Don't joke around. You've probably looked at too many things you shouldn't have and are seeing illusions!"
Shen Tongzi's brow furrowed even deeper: "But... maybe my eyes really were playing tricks on me?"
However, Jiangnan, in the fourth dimension, casually snapped his fingers!
"You want to sneak into my home? Dream on!"
"Space Maze • Southern God's Kaleidoscope!"
The space around the entire Demonic Eye Star System began to change wildly, completely enveloping the star system! The space rotated, stretched, overlapped, and compressed, just like a spinning kaleidoscope, causing people to get lost in it! Even more terrifying was that the stars within the space also moved along with the space maze, making the scene extraordinarily surreal! Space was like clay in Jiangnan's hands, which he could manipulate and knead at will! And this inspiration came from the Endless Maze that Jiangnan had visited before!
In an instant, all the wandering cultivators who had come to explore were swallowed by the space maze, their bodies transferred to various corners by the changing space! Tianhu Daoren was completely dumbfounded, watching helplessly as the people around him disappeared one by one, with the space around him spinning and turning, making it impossible to tell direction!
(͡⚆益͡⚆٥) "Damn! A prohibition! We triggered a void prohibition! What level of immortal prohibition is this? Retreat, retreat quickly! Tunyun! Cui Jianfei? Shen Tongzi! Where are you? Say something!"
The communication jade pendants were completely useless!
Tianhu Daoren flew frantically through the changing space, and in a daze, he saw a figure ahead of him! Anxiously, he called out: "Stop! Stop!" He flew closer and closer, and gradually, he felt that the figure looked familiar, carrying a large gourd. Upon closer look, wasn't that himself? Startled, he suddenly turned his head! Sure enough, there was another him behind, also looking back! It wasn't that he had turned into several selves, but that the void was looped? I saw the back of myself? Sigh~ Then wouldn't he never be able to get out?
"Damn! Damn it! What kind of immortal place is this? Where is the formation eye? That star? Star-Shattering Seal! Go!"
Tianhu Daoren suddenly threw it, and that square seal grew crazily, becoming larger than a star! It slammed heavily into a star, smashing that rocky planet to pieces with a shocking momentum! However, it still couldn't break the void loop! In the next moment, under his horrified gaze, the entire Star-Shattering Seal disappeared!
(இཀஇ|||) "Pfft—my immortal treasure! This, this, this... I can't even sense it anymore? Damn it!"
At this moment, inside the space maze, Jiangnan waved his little hand, and the Star-Shattering Seal came into his hand! Having left Tianhu Daoren's control, the Star-Shattering Seal rapidly shrank, becoming the size of a brick in an instant! Jiangnan held it in his hand and examined it constantly:
(*⁰̷̴͈꒨⁰̷̴͈) "Oh ho ho~ So this thing is called the Star-Shattering Seal, huh? Interesting~"
In Jiangnan's eyes, all the cultivators were like headless flies, blundering around in the space maze, pulling out all their means! Talismans, magical artifacts, sword formations, soul banners, and the like were all used, even life-saving great teleportation talismans were employed! But they were completely useless—the space here was under Jiangnan's control! If Jiangnan wanted to, he could trap them here forever without setting an exit!
But now, as Jiangnan weighed the Star-Shattering Seal in his hand, the displeased expression on his face disappeared, gradually turning devilish!
↜(⃔っ◞ิꇴ◟ิC)⃕ "If I think about it from another angle, isn't this a great opportunity to collect technique scrolls and get the method of spirit refinement from the Immortal Palace Starry Sky World? The Wandering Cultivator Alliance? They're not weak, right? Since they think this is an immortal's cave dwelling, I might as well be one~"
Ever since he knew that there was no one in this world who could defeat him, Jiangnan's mindset opened up instantly! Since going out would mean facing many problems, why not lure them to come to him?
At this moment, Jiangnan no longer sealed the exit of the space maze, but randomly chose a group of people and opened the exit for them! Shen Tongzi, Ling Kuishi, and some wandering cultivators, who had been charging around in the space maze, stumbled dazedly out of the maze! Fear lingered on their faces! And from time to time, a few scattered wandering cultivators "luckily" stumbled out of the space maze!
Shen Tongzi said in terror:
(유益유|||) "This... this is definitely the cave dwelling of an Eternal Realm existence, or even higher. Such a large-scale void immortal prohibition, a void maze—I've never heard of such a thing in my life! It's not something we can handle! We only got out because we were lucky—Tianhu, Tunyun, and the others are still inside!"
At this moment, in Shen Tongzi's eyes, the entire outskirts of the Demonic Eye Star System were surrounded by continuously rotating space! Ling Kuishi grimaced: "Things are serious. So many people are trapped inside and can't get out—we can't explain this to the higher-ups! If worst comes to worst..."
But before the two could finish, they saw a dazzling golden light rise from within the Demonic Eye Star System, and waves of terrifying fluctuations radiated outward! In a daze, a magnificent and vast immortal palace appeared. Within the palace, countless immortal beasts, celestial maidens, divine soldiers, and heavenly generals appeared, all bowing respectfully! Inside the immortal palace, faint projections of powerful immortal treasures could be seen, and in the center of the hall, a figure in a white dress with a light veil covering her face turned her back to the starry sky, then turned and walked into the depths of the palace, ethereal like an immortal, disappearing in an instant!
This incredibly shocking vision completely stunned the two! They couldn't help but say in unison: "Qingcheng Xianzi!"
Shen Tongzi stammered:
Σ(°△°|||) "This... this couldn't be the secluded palace of Qingcheng Xianzi? Qingcheng Xian! A peak existence who thrived in the Primordial Era! Her palace? If so, then this terrifying void immortal prohibition makes sense! Ling Ku! Don't just stand there! Hurry and call for reinforcements! Invite Huanlou Xianzi and borrow her Star-Illusion Banner to cover up this vision! Otherwise, if the Great Derivative Sword Sect notices, we'll all have nothing to eat!"
Ling Kuishi said urgently: "Huanlou Xianzi? She's an Eternal Realm existence! If she finds out, will we still have anything left to claim?"
Shen Tongzi cursed: "Idiot! Do you think Qingcheng Xian's palace is something a bunch of Unbounded-level wandering cultivators like us can crack? We're the ones reporting the news—if we can get a little soup, that'll be enough to last us a lifetime! And also invite Array Ghost King—he's a professional at breaking prohibitions, and he has some research on void immortal prohibitions! Quickly call for people! Have the wandering cultivator disciples come to scout the path. So far, this void maze doesn't seem dangerous—it only prevents entry. If we use human wave tactics to figure out the changing patterns, we might be able to break it!"
Ling Kuishi was also sweating anxiously: "Alright! I'll contact them now!"
Not only did those outside see this immortal vision, but those inside the maze also saw it! Now the wandering cultivators trapped inside were no longer in a hurry to get out! After all, it was Qingcheng Xian's palace—even bringing out a floor tile would make them rich! As the saying goes, people die for wealth, birds die for food! At this moment, all the wandering cultivators in the maze were using every means possible to get close to the immortal palace illusion!
Jiangnan secretly watched this scene and snickered:
↜(⃔っಡꇴಡC)⃕ "That's right! Call people over! The more the merrier, the more awesome they are the better! Even if you can call those seven Pseudo-Creation existences, I'll rob them all the same!"
Jiangnan was using a spatial illusion, just a small trick of distorting light with space. As for the content of this vision? It was just a projection taken from a page of the past. Qingcheng Xian is already gone—she shouldn't mind, right? Since he was going to use entrapment, the bait had to be fragrant, right?
Jiangnan stretched lazily: "Hmm~ Next, it's harvest time!"
Jiangnan's gaze immediately locked onto Tianhu Daoren! Last time, he had let him off, but he still wasn't convinced, and this time he even brought people? So would Jiangnan indulge his bad habit? Since he was rushing to deliver treasures into his hands, don't blame him, Jiang the Great Caster, for being ruthless! He would start by stripping these few small Unbounded realm cultivators!
Tianhu Daoren was going crazy—it really was an immortal cave dwelling, and it belonged to Qingcheng Xianzi! Ahhh! He had to get in! This heaven-defying opportunity was right in front of him—he absolutely couldn't miss it!
However, in the next moment, that familiar golden light flashed before Tianhu Daoren's eyes again! Under Momentary Eternity, he was frozen again! Jiangnan was not polite this time—with a snap of his fingers, Tianhu Daoren's body was directly transferred to one side! All his equipment was left behind, and on his body was only a pair of underwear, and a women's style at that! This level of fine spatial manipulation was just a piece of cake for Jiangnan~ Jiangnan quickly sorted through all the equipment dropped by Tianhu Daoren and packed them away! So what if he stripped him? He just wouldn't bring them back to the Ten Thousand Races Starry Sky World, right? Even though these things wouldn't ultimately belong to him, at least he would have possessed them!
"Let's go, let's go~ Next one!"
With a flash of gold, Jiangnan disappeared and headed straight for Tunyun Daoren to strip him! Tianhu Daoren, left in place, was dumbfounded! What the hell? Where are my things? My Universe Pocket artifact, my clothes—where did they go? Nothing is left, meow? Even the three Saint-level talismans I sewed into my underwear are gone? Pfft—what just happened? What the hell kind of void immortal prohibition is this? It even has this function? That was part of my entire fortune!
