The Return of Stars to the Jianghu

Chapter 213 The Wind Whisper Mountain Sect Protective Array Replaces Divine Artifacts

The two Xuan Tian Sect disciples moved with lightning speed, not daring to stop for a moment. Only when they caught sight of the two people coming down from Fengyu Mountain did they gradually slow their already exhausted pace.

These two disciples are a man and a woman. The man's name is Zhou Jin, and the woman's name is Huang Yuyan.

"Run! Get away from here!" Zhou Jin, a male disciple of the Xuantian Sect, fainted as soon as he finished speaking.

The female disciple, Huang Yuyan, though her eyes remained open, was utterly exhausted and unable to utter a sound. She saw Luo Yifei and Qi Yuan descending the mountain in search of spiritual materials, and as if seeing hope, she fixed her gaze on them before kneeling down.

"Take them back to the mountain and into the protective formation first," Qi Yuan instructed Luo Yifei.

"Time is of the essence. Luo Yifei, go up the mountain as fast as you can and tell Roland to bring the Wind Wheel. Now, only by possessing them can we save their lives." Ye Fan's primordial spirit appeared from the Fire Wheel, and as soon as he finished speaking, he possessed Zhou Jin.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Fan began to use his skills to repair the battered body.

Upon seeing this, Luo Yifei immediately carried Huang Yuyan on his back and flew back to Fengyu Mountain with Qi Yuan.

After entering the mountain-protecting formation, they placed the two seriously injured Xuantian Sect disciples in the Ancestral Hall.

Ye Fan had already possessed Zhou Jin's body and was closing his eyes to concentrate on healing his injuries.

Inside the Ancestral Hall, Roland was fully activating the formation.

“Now, I can activate the formation to cover a radius of three hundred miles, but correspondingly, the power of the formation will be weakened. They have just fled to the three hundred-mile range of Fengyu Mountain, and I am already activating the formation to protect them,” Roland explained to the group who returned to the Ancestral Hall.

“My sister is already struggling to maintain the formation, but the formation must cover a sufficiently large area. Once the enemy discovers the weakness of Fengyu Mountain, we will face a large-scale attack. The formation cannot last long with the dilapidated magical artifacts left behind by Fengyu Mountain. We need a divine artifact.” Roman looked at Luo Yifei, his tone firm.

Upon hearing this, Luo Yifei frowned. After hesitating for a moment, he still took out the golden dagger, the Purple Cloud Sword, the God-Slaying Whip, the Soul-Summoning Bell, and the Xuanwu Shield from his storage bag.

“These magical artifacts were given to me by Wen Bin through all sorts of means. If they can be put to use, that would be the best outcome,” Luo Yifei stated.

"Put away the Soul-Summoning Bell. This wasn't prepared for you by Wen Bin; it's a true opportunity that belongs to you." With that, Roland took out the Wind Wheel.

Sun Li's spirit flew out from the windmill and possessed Huang Yuyan's body.

Subsequently, the wind wheel and the fire wheel merged into one, forming the Wind and Fire Wheel.

The five magical artifacts, corresponding to the five elements, flew to the five corners of the Ancestral Hall under Roland's guidance.

The Wind and Fire Wheels circled once in the air, emitting a dazzling light, echoing the Five Elements magical artifacts and together forming a powerful protective barrier. Inside the Ancestral Hall, the previously faint light suddenly intensified, as if a mysterious force was guarding this space.

Ye Fan, inside Zhou Jin's body, sensed the changes in the surrounding environment and felt slightly relieved. He continued to use his cultivation technique to heal Zhou Jin's injuries, while also preparing for the upcoming battle.

After being possessed by Sun Li's spirit, Huang Yuyan's eyes gradually regained their luster. She looked at Luo Yifei and the others, her gratitude overflowing. She knew that if they hadn't arrived in time, she and Zhou Jin would probably have already perished.

"Thank you all for saving my life." Huang Yuyan's voice was weak, but full of sincere gratitude.

Luo Yifei smiled slightly and said, "We are all like-minded people, so it is only right that we help each other. Now, we must face the impending crisis together."

Looking at the people before him, Roman felt a surge of pride. He knew that although they faced a powerful enemy, as long as they worked together, they would surely overcome all difficulties.

"Everyone, get ready. The enemy could arrive at any moment." Roman's voice was firm and powerful, as if infusing everyone with an invisible strength.

......

The expected enemy did not appear as anticipated.

However, Huang Yuyan and Zhou Jin suffered great damage to their souls, causing them to frequently fall into a deep sleep.

This, in turn, gave Sun Li and Ye Fan more opportunities to control their bodies, and they even began to cultivate the legendary immortal techniques. Surprisingly, in just one week, not only were their injuries healed, but their cultivation levels also improved significantly.

Meanwhile, Luo Yifei's situation was quite different. Despite his diligent sword practice every day, his cultivation seemed to stagnate, and he remained firmly stuck at the second level of the Body Refinement Realm.

"Don't be discouraged. You should know that it usually takes more than ten years for an ordinary person to break through from the Body Refinement Realm to the True Essence Realm," Sun Li tried to comfort Luo Yifei.

"But I haven't seen you for more than four years, and you've already reached the Nascent Soul Realm?" Luo Yifei had been trying to get some information from Sun Li that he didn't know during this time.

“I’m an exception. If I’m not mistaken, I spent four years improving my cultivation. However, compared to normal cultivators, it’s very difficult for me to make any further breakthroughs,” Sun Li explained.

"Alright, then how do you explain that Su An reached the Yuan Dan realm in just four years?" Luo Yifei continued to press.

“He has a strong learning ability, and with the addition of the Xuan Tian Sect’s Pei Yuan Pill, breaking through to the Yuan Dan Realm will naturally be much easier,” Sun Li replied.

"Shen Lixi hasn't joined any sect, and in just over four years he's almost reached the Great Perfection of the True Essence Realm. He should be about the same level as me, right?" Luo Yifei continued to ask.

“He awakened his innate divine ability of ‘photographic memory,’ and with the many opportunities he gained in various secret realms and blessed lands, his breakthrough was naturally faster. But you’re not bad either. If I’m not mistaken, your innate divine ability is ‘lightning fast.’ Your Shu Mountain Sword Technique can be said to be the fastest in the world,” Sun Li replied.

“I challenged Qi Yuan to a sword duel yesterday and lost. His leg was injured, so his movement speed wasn’t as fast as mine, but I still lost. Moreover, he’s almost at the Great Perfection of the Body Refinement Realm. According to the martial artist evaluation system of the Floating Life Continent, he’s already a Grandmaster.” Luo Yifei tried to get more useful information from Sun Li.

Upon hearing this, Sun Li frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "You lost to Qi Yuan in the sword duel, perhaps because you relied too much on swordsmanship and neglected other aspects of cultivation. You must know that a true martial artist not only needs to have superb swordsmanship, but also needs to cultivate both internal and external skills in order to be invincible."

"What kind of cultivation do you think I still need? I'm still unable to draw spiritual energy into my body," Luo Yifei asked.

"Luo Yifei, I know what you want to ask. Actually, I have a rough idea of ​​what Wen Bin is thinking. But it's just a guess. There's a rule in the agent's code—no one can accumulate fortune for mortals. But a supreme god has only been absent from the world for 100,000 years. For you and me, that's 5,000 years, but for a so-called true god, it could be just a blink of an eye. No one knows how long a so-called true god's lifespan is. Plus, we still can't contact Wen Bin..."
