Chapter 649 - 675 Making a Small Crack
Chapter 649: Chapter 675: Making a Small Crack? Chapter 649: Chapter 675: Making a Small Crack? Above the Taiyi Sword Sect, in the firmament.
A pitch-black colossal portal appeared, its interior dark and profound, obscuring any view within.
In front of the portal.
Twelve figures stood on air, emanating a terrifying aura, each of them formidable and immense.
Ye Luo, the leader among them, wielded a black Divine Sword, with strands of silver Sword Qi radiating around him, encircling like halos, making him appear as a domineering and mighty ancient Sword Immortal.
“Fellow senior brothers, follow me and open the passage.”
Ye Luo’s gaze became intense as he stared into the darkness within the portal.
...
He raised the black Divine Sword in his hand, ready to strike forward.
He was acutely aware.
The dark passage before him was the way of Ascension. By severing this passage, the path between the Upper Realm and the mundane world would be connected. As a result, the aura of the Upper Realm would naturally flow down to some degree, and they could break through by harnessing this Upper Realm aura.
“We will follow the orders of our eldest senior brother.”
The other eleven Disciples of Wayless Sect each drew their treasures, using all their strength, ready to follow Ye Luo.
Once Ye Luo commenced his attack on the Ascension Passage, they would immediately join in, collectively launching an attack in hopes of breaking the passage at the earliest instance.
Just as these twelve individuals were about to make their move.
A streak of light flew rapidly from the distance.
The flight of this streak stunned all twelve members, including Ye Luo, who halted their preparations and turned their gaze toward the light.
“Senior Bai?”
Ye Luo immediately saw through the true nature of the streak, surprised for a moment.
“Young Friend Ye, and other young friends, please hold on for a moment! This passage is not yet ready to be opened!”
Baize arrived swiftly, speaking out.
“Why not?”
Ye Luo asked, frowning.
Without breaking the passage, the aura of the Upper Realm would not flow, and they would be unable to break through.
“My friends, you should consider why the passage between the Upper Realm and this realm is closed. If you look inside, you can see that this passage is a void with no signs of any seal, unlike one that has been sealed from inside to outside. It rather seems like it has been sealed from outside to inside.”
Baize stared intently at the interior of the great portal, slowly speaking.
“Sealed from outside to inside?”
Ye Luo and the other Disciples of Wayless Sect were taken aback.
This was something they had not considered.
All they had thought about was breaking through the passage to the Upper Realm to let its aura flow.
“Yes, I suspect that someone from the Upper Realm sealed this passage. If that’s the case, forcibly breaking the passage might cause some unknown consequences.”
Baize shook his head; he truly did not wish to hastily attempt breaking such a passage.
The current state of the world was at a critically urgent period where a great war could erupt between the old and new eras at any time.
If during such times, some force from the Upper Realm were to intervene, the situation would become extremely grim.
With these words released.
Ye Luo and the others were stunned, finding it hard to grasp the implications fully.
If not for Baize mentioning it, they never would have considered this possibility.
Yet now, the passage lay right before them.
Could they really not attempt to break it?
The many Disciples of Wayless Sect hesitated.
The next moment.
Two more streaks of light flew in from afar.
It was Li Cheng and Lin Mo.
Compared to before, Li Cheng and Lin Mo were quite different, their auras much stronger, but still confined to the Mahayana Realm.
In contrast to the many Wayless Sect disciples who had realized their Dao Fruit, they were substantially weaker.
“The two junior brothers?”
Ye Luo looked at Li Cheng and Lin Mo, his eyebrows slightly raised, curious about the purpose of their arrival.
“Eldest senior brother, I know what this Ascension Passage is all about.”
Li Cheng spoke hastily.
“You know?”
Ye Luo’s gaze settled on Li Cheng.
The others, including Baize, quickly looked at Li Cheng as well.
“Yes, due to some chance encounters, I have come to know a bit about this: beyond our realm, we have formidable enemies. This passage is a seal created by our enemies to prevent our realm from ever producing a powerhouse of peerless grace and strength again,” explained Li Cheng to everyone.
He possessed The Great Tang Flag, and from the past year, he had unearthed many secret matters.
Of course, this included knowledge about this very passage.
After he disclosed this information,
everyone couldn’t help but look stunned, not expecting such a story behind this passage.
Does this mean that there are people in the Upper Realm who harbor hostility towards our realm?
Then, opening the passage, wouldn’t that increase our troubles?
Many disciples of the Wayless Sect began to hesitate.
Indeed, they wanted to break through to the Immortal Realm, but that didn’t mean they weren’t concerned about the bigger picture.
“If that’s the case, then let’s leave…”
Ye Luo’s gaze was deep, but he was helpless.
Compared to other disciples, he was even more concerned about the bigger picture.
He naturally knew how to make the choice.
After thinking it over for a moment,
he could only decide to take the many disciples and leave, giving up on breaking through to the Immortal Realm.
“Don’t rush, everyone, wait a moment,”
Baize suddenly spoke up, stopping everyone in their tracks.
“What is it?”
Ye Luo looked towards Baize and asked with a frown.
“Although we can’t break the passage, that doesn’t mean there’s no way to help you all break through your realms. We can create some small fissures to attract the Upper Realm Aura down here.”
Baize offered a suggestion.
He had much more experience than Ye Luo and the others.
He had quickly come up with a solution.
“Create some small fissures?”
Ye Luo’s expression paused, then he quickly grasped the meaning.
He looked up at the pitch-black, void-like passage.
He immediately raised his hand and slashed toward a corner of the passage.
A fierce Sword Qi instantly converged and slashed towards a corner of the pitch-black, void-like passage.
This was clearly just a streak of Sword Qi, but as it struck the passage, it instantly transformed into countless streaks of Sword Qi, each one following the other, slashing at that part of the passage.
But the passage was exceedingly sturdy.
Despite Ye Luo’s powerful attack, it still couldn’t be easily breached.
Ye Luo, however, was not surprised; on the contrary, he found it quite normal.
If it had been easily breached by him, that would have been strange.
“Junior brothers, junior sisters, and Senior Bai, follow my lead,”
Ye Luo urged them on immediately.
As his voice fell,
his entire aura burst forth, and with the Divine Sword in his hand, he swung a sword carrying an unstoppable momentum, grandly slashing towards the passage.
Boom!!!
This sword strike was nothing like the playful one he had made before.
With this sword’s slash, the entire passage trembled.
A Great Vehicle Realm Cultivator who possessed the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit was not just limited to the scope of the Mortal Realm, even an Ascension Passage could hardly withstand it.
With Ye Luo’s first strike,
before he could launch a second one,
many disciples of the Wayless Sect, including Baize, took their turns.
Their strength was incredibly formidable.
A group of them striking at one small fissure
naturally could easily open up a small opening in the passage.
But when the small fissure was created,
they found that no Upper Realm Aura flowed through…
