Chapter 476 - 332: Heart Inquiry Stone Tier, Cheating Artifact! (Part 3)

Before obtaining the Soul Ascension Fruit, that sword cultivator was a great omen of doom for me. After obtaining the Soul Ascension Fruit, even the Divination Technique lost its effect. If he acquires a Spiritual Treasure, would we still have a way to survive?

Fifteen days in the Secret Realm, only then can we return to the Profound Yellow Great World. Now there are still a full seven or eight days left!

During this time, if he acquires a Spiritual Treasure, we’ll be like fish on the chopping block, completely at his mercy.

This feeling of powerlessness is the most anxiety-inducing.

He has cultivated for hundreds of years and absolutely does not want to place his life and death in the hands of another, relying on their goodwill and morality.

The human heart is most undeserving of trust.

In the Secret Realm, even the Celestial Heart Sect cannot save me. Even if they avenge me afterward, what does it matter if I’m already dead!

But looking at the dense, lingering Yin Evil, he could only force himself to calm down.

"Clang!"

After traveling for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a sudden golden light shot from beyond the sky. The Yin Evil dissipated, and the world brightened. A towering mountain peak stood before the great lake.

"Spirit Treasure Cliff, we’ve finally arrived, quickly disembark!"

Seeing this, Gua Daoist was overjoyed and immediately urged everyone to get off the boat.

Without hesitation, everyone activated their Escape Light, reaching the foot of the cliff in an instant.

Seeing the six stone tiers, Songg Yuyang exhaled slightly.

"Heart Inquiry Stones, he took this path!"

The six stone tiers were shrouded in mist, serene and calm. Only the path Gu Yuan took emitted a faint Spiritual Light. Amidst the mist, a figure in broad robes and large sleeves was ascending the tiers continuously.

The thick fog blurred vision, and the person’s silhouette grew more distant, almost vanishing into the mountaintop, becoming indistinct.

"Such speed, the Heart Inquiry Path seems to have no effect on him!"

Gua Daoist’s face was extremely solemn, then he quickly urged Songg Yuyang: "Is there any way to catch up to him?"

Songg Yuyang didn’t delay, immediately taking out a Compass from his bosom, inscribed with Dao Seals, a golden base with silver patterns, exuding a rich Spirit Charm.

"Every Major Sect has the Heart Inquiry Path, to test and train its disciples. My Divine Will Sect is no different."

"And when establishing the Heart Inquiry Path, methods to counter it were naturally left behind."

"This Compass of mine is called the Unity Calamity Relief Disc, crafted by an Elder of a noble family within the sect, used to aid cultivators through the Heart Inquiry Stone Tiers. It is a cheating artifact."

"Later, when the sect discovered it, they confiscated that family’s assets. This Compass fell into my hands."

"Fellow Daoists can leave a trace of Divine Soul Power on the Compass, then enter the Heart Inquiry Stone Tiers. With the power of the five of us, we can swiftly ascend ten tiers in a single step, and we should be able to catch up to him!"

Songg Yuyang pointed at the Compass and said.

Leave a trace of Divine Soul Power?

Everyone hesitated, worried that if it were an Evil Technique or a nightmare artifact, this trace of Divine Soul Power could claim their lives.

"We can’t hesitate. If that man gets the Spiritual Treasure, we’ll be fish on the chopping board!"

Gua Daoist didn’t hesitate at all, immediately leaving a trace of Divine Soul Power.

Hearing this, the burly man and Thunder Flood Dragon exchanged a glance, then also left a trace of Divine Soul Power.

Indeed, the pressing matter is to halt that man.

Only the white-haired youth was silent, pondering.

"Once we reach the summit, we can assess further. It’s not about besieging that man; he crossed the lake, abandoning the boat; we are merely catching up slightly!"

Seeing this, Songg Yuyang immediately said gravely.

Upon hearing this, the white-haired youth sighed, then also left a trace of Divine Soul Power.

Seeing this, Gua Daoist was overjoyed and immediately urged the others to ascend their respective stone tiers.

"Boom!"

Instantly, the sound of an Illusion Realm filled the air.

Yet the few of them, using the cheating artifact, akin to five people carrying a single stone, faced almost no pressure as they rushed upward.

Each step was twenty to thirty tiers.

Seeing this, Gua Daoist and the others were overjoyed in their hearts, inwardly praising the efficacy of a Major Sect’s cheating artifact.

Only Songg Yuyang felt a slight surprise.

Logically, even with the Unity Calamity Relief Compass, they shouldn’t be ascending so swiftly; it was almost like reaching the skies in a single step.

But thinking of the combined strength of five people, he relaxed slightly.

And after this trickery, they actually began to gradually see Gu Yuan’s silhouette clearly.
