The seal already cracked under their attack before, but it could self repair. However, that took a long time.
Ye Mo could tell that in a few days, this seal would reveal a periodic entrance. Cultivators from outside would be able to enter from the light pillar. This opening wouldn't be open for long, but cultivators could go in and out quickly.
Xie Zhengshi must've realized this. To be able to do this, it meant he was a formation grand master.
However, he didn't say this and instead tried to ambush him. The only reason was to take all the immortal crystals for himself.
Although everyone loved immortal crystals, Ye Mo felt contempt towards Xie Zhengshi's plans.
Cha Qizhao quickly said, "Brother Ye you must not attack that seal anymore - if you do, it would explode again."
Ye Mo didn't plan to do so. He instead turned around and looked at Xie Zhengshi asking, "City lord Xie, you're a formation grand master?"
Xie Zhengshi heard this and his heart skipped. He wasn't dumb, Ye Mo asking this meant that he could see there was a periodic opening to this seal. This also meant that Ye Mo was a formation grand master.
He knew there was no point in hiding here so he nodded. "Yes, I'm indeed a level eight formation grand master. I stayed here for another reason, there's a crack in the seal here and according to my estimation, in four days there will be an opening."
Hearing this, Cha Qizhao realized that Xie Zhengshi stayed here for the immortal crystals.
Clearly he wasn't happy about Xie Zhengshi not telling the truth before, but thinking again, if it was him, perhaps he wouldn't tell either. He didn't think much of it from there.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeeing that Ye Mo didn't speak, Xie Zhengshi coughed and continued, "I calculated the duration of the opening. It's about ten seconds, meaning that we can go in during this time to get the immortal crystals. If brother Ye and brother Cha are fine with it, we can go in together and get as much as we can."
"I don't mind." Ye Mo nodded.
"Same," Cha Qizhao said.
Xie Zhengshi breathed easy. He was scared that Ye Mo would insist that he didn't speak the truth. He felt Ye Mo was at least a truth realisation state peak stage cultivator.
Ye Mo ignored Xie Zhengshi and checked this seal carefully. The more he looked the more he was shocked. The means here were too great.
After a study, Ye Mo didn't feel that Xie Zhengshi and them saw wrongly before. This was indeed a dimension seal to seal a realm. It might even be the seal to prevent cultivators from ascending to other realms.
But this light pillar really was only the tip of the iceberg. This was one of countless pillars. There was no use in trying to break this seal by force.
This huge pillar was called the seal flag in such seals. Even if you broke this flag, it would activate the backup flags. You could be lucky to encounter one flag, but could you be lucky enough to encounter another? One needed to destroy at least seven seal flags to break this sort of seal.
The only way was to calculate the position of the second flag once you went in and then continue from there. If seven flags were destroyed, then this realm seal would cripple itself.
"Brother Ye, do you feel this is a dimension seal?" Cha Qizhao admired Ye Mo greatly and asked.
Ye Mo nodded. "I feel you guys are right, but this isn't a seal to the demon realm, it's a seal to seal the entire cultivation realm. This light pillar is called the seal flag, you can only break this seal if you break seven seal flags. And I believe this seal is the seal restricting West Extreme State's cultivators from ascending to the immortal realm."
"Huh…" Cha Qizhao and Xie Zhengshi exclaimed at the same time.
"Brother Ye, although I know you're a formation grandmaster, I don't know what level formation grand master you are?" Xie Zhengshi asked.
Ye Mo said calmly, "It's not important what level formation grandmaster I am - what's important is whether you want the immortal crystals or to break the seal?"
"I want to break the seal, brother Ye if you can help us break this seal and let West Extreme State's cultivators be able to immortal ascend normally, I would rather not have a single immortal crystal and give them all to you," Xie Zhengshi said without hesitation.
Ye Mo nodded, this Xie Zhengshi was greedy but he wasn't clueless on big matters. He knew that only after breaking this seal could he ascend to the immortal realm. Otherwise, no matter how many immortal crystals he got, he still couldn't ascend.
Cha Qizhao was dazed and asked, "Brother Ye, how do you explain the black mist seeping out before?"
Ye Mo shook his head. "I don't know either, perhaps it was something sealed inside here intentionally. If the seal was attacked, the black mist would seep out to attack those people breaking the formation."
Cha QIzhao said seriously to Ye Mo too "brother Ye as long as you can break the seal, I can do whatever you want me to go. As for those immortal crystals, you can have them all."
Ye Mo nodded, from the bottom of his heart, he also wanted to open the seal. This seal might not just be the seal for West Extreme State but the entire Luo Yue continent. After he broke the seal here, perhaps cultivators from the South Peace State could also immortal ascend. Even if they can't, they can come here.
Four days flew past and the instant the crack opened, Ye Mo dashed in, the other two followed.
Ye Mo wasn't scared of being shut inside but it was best to go out before the seal closed.
So he didn't have time to rob the immortal crystals, even if Xie Zhengshi and Cha Qizhao didn't give him any immortal crystals he can rob it back.
After Ye Mo came in, he immediately began to calculate the position of the next flag.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen he came in here, he didn't even stay for 5 seconds and he felt dizzy. The 8 trigam spun like crazy and moments later, the three were pushed out by the huge light pillar.
"what's going on?" Cha Qizhao asked.
Xie Zhengshi's face looked bad and said "the seal flag probably felt it when we went to grab the immortal crystals and pushed us out."
Cha Qizhao didn't believe it and looked at Ye Mo for an answer.
Ye Mo's face wasn't too good but he nodded "city lord Xie is right, we can't touch the immortal crystals in the seal flag. If we touch it, the seal flag would disappear and the backup seal flag would be used."
Cha QIzhao's face changed "brother Ye, this means this seal flag has disappeared?"
Ye Mo nodded "if I'm not wrong yes."
Cha Qizhao said no more and smashed with his tower at the same place again.
This time, a huge hole appeared in the ground but there was nothing else.
"it really disappeared." Cha Qizhao's face went bad. If they didn't find the next seal flag, then this seal would never be broken and they would never be able to ascend into the immortal realm.
But soon he thought of what Ye Mo said before and looked at Ye Mo "brother Ye did you calculate the position of the enxt flag?"
Ye Mo thought for a long time and said "yes, but I only calculated the approximate location. We need to go west one million miles, it should be around there."
"Sand River death grounds?" Xie Zhengshi and Cha Qizhao called out at the same time?
"what's that?" Ye Mo asked.
Cha Qizhao immediately explained "there's three places you can't go in the Sand River, one is the demon realm entrance, the second is the blue sand ditch, the third is sand sinkhole. These three places are the Sand River death grounds, you will die for sure if you go. The place you said is sand sinkhole."
