Chapter 1454 (Raw 1434): Geography Restored

Only a Geomaster like Jiang Tian dared to fly in such a strange place like this.

If it were Xiao Chen, he absolutely would not dare to. There were many more restrictions and formations in the air compared to the ground. If he were careless, he could end up in an illusion, unable to come out even after death.

The Yinyang Five Element Illusion was very different from ordinary illusions, incorporating truth in falsehood, and falsehood in truth. It was based on the surrounding geography, Yinyang, and five elements, forming a restriction made of illusions.

Even Jiang Tian acted cautiously as he flew.

The two were clearly airborne, yet they saw all sorts of perilous environments. These scenes changed very frequently. In one moment, it could be an ice mountain, in another, an erupting volcano or perhaps a scene of hell.

It was not just these. Inside the illusion, there were all sorts of ferocious beasts. As a Geomaster, Jiang Tian naturally left the fighting to Xiao Chen.

"Don't treat these illusionary beasts as fake. If you get injured, you will still be injured in reality," Jiang Tian said carefreely as he opened the way.

Xiao Chen could not be bothered with Jiang Tian. This old fellow was a deceitful person full of schemes, always using him for hard labor.

Sometime later, after Xiao Chen killed countless evil spirits and charged out of the hellish illusion, the scene before his eyes changed. The Ghost Mountain where the Immortal ship was appeared right before their eyes.

Surprisingly, this mountain summit was empty; there was no one at all. The two did not see any Immortal Cultivators by that Immortal ship. It was eerily quiet.

"Where did this group of people run off to? Look around," Jiang Tian muttered. Then, he put away the Worldly Wind Water Banner and landed on the Ghost Mountain together with Xiao Chen.

After Jiang Tian gave Xiao Chen some instructions, they both started searching the mountain for clues.

After a while, the two met back in disappointment, having failed to find anything.

"This should not be the case. Since they damaged the geography of the entire Ghost Mountain, no matter what, they should have left some traces," Jiang Tian muttered to himself in puzzlement.

Xiao Chen was likewise mystified. After one used formation flags, formation plates, or similar tools, these things should have remained behind.

The instant Xiao Chen looked up, his gaze fell on the Immortal ship. Then, a thought suddenly struck him.

"Senior Jiang, could the Secret Treasure they are using to change the geography be this Immortal ship?"

Jiang Tian quivered as he looked at the Immortal ship. "It is very possible! Why did I not think of that? No one ever said that Dragon Seeking Secret Treasures could not be made in the form of a ship."

The more the two looked, the more they found this Immortal ship strange, the more they felt this to be possible.

The seven Divine Weapons unsheathed and buzzed. Saber intent accumulated continuously, kicking up strong winds.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Tian asked nervously.

"Giving it a try; then, we will know."

With a thought, the seven Divine Weapons charged into the air with boundless saber intent. Before Jiang Tian could stop Xiao Chen, the seven Divine Weapons crashed into the Immortal ship.

"Bang!" The entire Immortal ship was destroyed, kicking up a cloud of dust and sending shards flying everywhere. When the shock waves swept over, the two of them quickly retreated. Xiao Chen shielded Jiang Tian, bearing the brunt of it.

"What's the point of being so rash? If the trail of clues gets cut off, we will have a problem picking it up again," Jiang Tian said somewhat reproachfully.

Xiao Chen countered, "Actually, the trail of clues got cut off long ago. Since those Immortal Cultivators left already, they would definitely not leave too many traces of themselves behind."

As Xiao Chen spoke, his expression slowly changed while he stared ahead.

When the dust settled, the Immortal ship that was originally there was gone. In its place was a scarlet skeleton. The Immortal Qi had vanished, replaced by something very sinister.

With one look, it was clear that it was made up of human bones. Furthermore, it was refined by some sort of especially evil means. It was obviously a Ghost ship, not an Immortal ship.

"Indeed, this group of people came prepared. No wonder they could change the geography of the nineteen Ghost Mountains. This Ghost ship is very impressive. The Penglai Sea's people must have spent at least one thousand years preparing it."

As Jiang Tian gazed at the Ghost ship, he appeared distracted, in some disbelief.

However, Xiao Chen kept shaking his head, feeling that becoming a Ghost Immortal was not the proper way and would not end well. Even if they were even more prepared, in the end, it would just be wasted effort.

"What should we do now?"

Jiang Tian showed a sullen expression and said, "We break this set-up first and restore the geography of the Ghost Mountain."

"You truly live up to being the Heavenly Starry Ocean's best Geomaster. The Immortal Venerate said that you would definitely discover this. Indeed, his prediction came true."

Just at this moment, a voice came from the sky. A middle-aged man exuding an Immortal air and dressed in purple Daoist robes slowly descended on an auspicious cloud.

Xiao Chen was startled. This person had actually been hiding here, and they did not discover him all this time.

"The show is just beginning. How can I let the two of you break it? Get down!"

The purple-clad Immortal Cultivator landed on the Ghost ship. His Immortal Qi vanished, and his aura suddenly changed as if he fused with the Ghost Mountain under him. Then, he stretched out his hand.

With a loud sound, the ground under Xiao Chen and Jiang Tian turned into a mouth.

Caught off guard, they fell when the ground under them disappeared.

When the purple-clad Immortal Cultivator saw the two vanish, he nodded while standing on the Ghost ship. Then, he pushed off with his feet and soared into the air, preparing to go back into hiding.

"Bang!"

However, before the Immortal Cultivator could finish smiling, rocks flew up from the mountain. Then, a gigantic hand appeared, grabbed him, and pulled him down from the sky.

Amid rumbling, Xiao Chen flew back up in somewhat of a sorry state. He sat on his throne with one hand wrapped firmly around the other party's neck, appearing expressionless.

If Xiao Chen had not executed Dharmic World earlier, he really did not know if he could have escaped the Ghost Mountain.

The space inside the mountain was simply too bizarre and horrifying. The ground was covered in skulls, many of which belonged to youths. He did not know what would happen if he fell in.

"That's impossible. How did you escape from the Ghost Mountain?!" the purple-clad Immortal Cultivator exclaimed, shock filling his face. He found this turn of events inconceivable.

Xiao Chen said indifferently, "There are too many impossible things in this world. Speak, what is your lot trying to do?!"

"Haha, it is impossible for you to threaten me!"

A golden light swelled continuously in the body of the purple-clad Immortal Cultivator. Xiao Chen showed a startled expression. This fellow actually decided to destroy indiscriminately by detonating his Yuanying.

Without delay, Pride unsheathed from behind the throne and killed the purple-clad Immortal Cultivator first.

Xiao Chen casually tossed the headless corpse in his hand aside and looked at the Ghost ship.

"Little Three, have you heard of Ghost Immortals?" Xiao Chen asked the Item Spirit of the Three Life Mirror.

"That is something very evil. I do not know much about it. They were forbidden existences during the Immortal Epoch. Furthermore, it is a dead end; there is no way it can succeed. People would rather undergo reincarnation than become a Ghost Immortal."

Little Three continued, "Ghost Immortals are neither ghosts nor Immortals. They are alive but not alive, dead but not dead. They wander between Yin and Yang. Although they live forever, they live a life worse than death."

"Can you think of a way to destroy this Ghost ship?" Xiao Chen asked, pointing at the skeleton Ghost ship in front. He felt very uncomfortable looking at it even though he did not know what it did.

Even the combined strike of the seven Divine Weapons had failed to destroy the Ghost ship.

"Haha! This is easy. I can just move this dead thing to the Three Life Mirror's trash space.

Although Little Three made it sound very easy, she gritted her teeth and showed a grave expression as she controlled the Three Life Mirror and executed the Minor Universe Movement. She frowned heavily, clearly putting in a lot of effort.

Xiao Chen could not help regretting his request. He knew that Little Three liked showing off. He should not have asked this of her.

A tear appeared in space, and Little Three let out a shout. The Three Life Mirror gave off a bright light, looking like it was burning up. Then, the entire Ghost ship disappeared with a 'whoosh,' sucked into the Three Life Mirror.

The instant the Ghost ship vanished, Xiao Chen sensed the surrounding geography change. The countless stars in the Starry Heavens above moved, returning to their original spots.

"It looks like a success." Xiao Chen smiled and nodded in satisfaction.

For Xiao Chen to help up to this point, he could be considered to have done his best already. Now, he wanted to go to the Mirage Immortal Palace and find the Cycle Arts before leaving.

As for whether Jiang Tian, who fell into the Ghost Mountain, was dead or alive, Xiao Chen could not be bothered. His gut instinct told him that with Jiang Tian's means, this Ghost Mountain could not trap him to death.
