Spiritual Mountain, Hidden Beauty Court, Goddess Peak, Heavenly Scripture Platform.
Today, Ji Chunhua was on duty to guard one of the forbidden areas of Spirited Mountain. Logically speaking, this should have been a very easy task. Over the years, there had only been one case of someone sneaking into the forbidden area of Spirited Mountain or trespassing into the forbidden area. Moreover, it had been more than two hundred years since the last case.
Due to the lesson of infiltrating the Heavenly Scripture Platform, the Spiritual Mountain Sect had already hidden all the important cultivation scriptures in another place. Hence, no one dared to enter the Heavenly Scripture Platform's mountain of history to eat its dust.
In fact, in the eyes of the cultivators on duty, who would have nothing better to do than to rummage through the mountain of documents and information?
However, there was one person today!
Ji Chunhua saw someone approaching from afar. At first, she thought someone had gone to the wrong place, so she yelled, "Spiritual Mountain's forbidden area, trespassers …"
Before she could finish, she suddenly saw a section of fiery red hair peeking out from under the hood of the cultivator's robes.
In the entire Spiritual Mountain Sect, there was only one person with such long hair. She did not need to see this person's face to know who she was!
Grand Senior Sister of Hidden Beauty Court!
One of the strongest cultivators in the Spiritual Mountain Sect!
"Eldest, Eldest, Eldest Senior Sister?" Ji Chunhua was shocked and stuttered.
The person walked up the long stone steps and approached. Ji Chunhua took a closer look. Her face was cold and elegant, her hair bright red. It was indeed Grand Senior Sister!
"Grand Senior Sister, this is the Spiritual Mountain's forbidden area. You are not allowed to enter without permission."
Ji Chunhua swallowed her saliva, speaking carefully. Her gaze was fixed on Grand Senior Sister's sleeves, afraid that the whip would come out and hit her face in the next second.
She did not want to end up like that unlucky Huang Nishang, disfigured by a whip because she offended Grand Senior Sister!
Grand Senior Sister glared at Ji Chunhua coldly. "Which forbidden area in the Spiritual Mountain Sect can't I go?
Hmm? "
Ji Chunhua's heart tightened. She smiled apologetically and said, "That's true. I heard that the Pavilion Master passed the clearance jade token to Eldest Senior Sister. With the jade token, you can naturally enter any forbidden area. However, Junior Sister hasn't seen what the jade token looks like. I wonder if Eldest Senior Sister can let Junior Sister see the jade token?"
Grand Senior Sister sneered, "Who do you think you are?
Get lost!
Is this jade token something you can see as you please? "
Ji Chunhua's expression was very ugly. She forced a smile and said, "Please understand my duties, Senior Sister. Without the jade token, I really can't …"
Grand Senior Sister walked straight inside. She approached Ji Chunhua and said with a frosty expression, "Try and stop me if you dare!"
Ji Chunhua was so shocked that she instinctively took two steps back. She smiled apologetically. "Since Grand Senior Sister insists, I'll have no choice but to tell the truth when Uncle-Master questions me."
Grand Senior Sister walked past her and continued walking up the stairs. Ji Chunhua's face was filled with pain. After struggling for a long time, she could only pinch her nose and accept her bad luck.
Could she really do anything to Grand Senior Sister?
Stop joking, I'm just a guard on duty. Who the hell would want to offend the future Hidden Beauty Court Master and the future Spiritual Mountain Sect Leader over such a trivial matter?
Ji Chunhua sighed and slapped herself on the forehead. Her heart was filled with regret. If she knew she couldn't stop her, why didn't she do this favour earlier?
Thinking of this, Ji Chunhua's eyes darted around. She suddenly took two steps forward and shouted, "Grand Senior Sister!"
Grand Senior Sister's silhouette froze and she slowly turned around, her eyes extremely dangerous and vicious. Ji Chunhua jumped in fright. She quickly steadied herself and smiled apologetically, saying quickly, "Grand Senior Sister, the Heavenly Scripture Platform's mechanism today is different from usual. If Grand Senior Sister wants to go in, you must be aware that it's the Yang Escape Technique today!
Also, you have to follow the direction of the Earth Palace and Qi Palace … "
Grand Senior Sister said coldly, "Do you think I don't understand?"
Ji Chunhua froze. Seeing that Grand Senior Sister was going to continue forward, she quickly said, "No, Grand Senior Sister, today's Heavenly Scripture Platform's mechanism looks like the Yang Escape Technique on the surface, but there's a Yin Escape Technique underneath. As long as you pass through half of the mechanism, the hidden array will automatically activate and change from the Yang Escape Technique to the Yin Escape Technique. If you continue to follow the previous direction, you'll trigger the array and even a Daluo Golden Immortal will be destroyed!"
Grand Senior Sister stared at Ji Chunhua for a long time until chills ran down Ji Chunhua's spine and her forehead was covered in sweat. Then, she slowly nodded. "Very good, I'll remember."
Ji Chunhua was overjoyed. She quickly lowered her head to show her respect. "Grand Senior Sister, if you need me, just let me know. It's my honour to be able to serve you."
Grand Senior Sister flicked her sleeves and turned around. Her voice was cold. "No need, just guard here."
As she said this, she paused and turned back. "Don't tell anyone that I'm here today, or else …"
Ji Chunhua hurriedly said, "I've never seen Grand Senior Sister today, and I've never seen anyone come to the Heavenly Scripture Platform!"
Grand Senior Sister nodded slightly. "Very good." Then, she continued on her way.
Ji Chunhua couldn't contain her joy as she watched Grand Senior Sister gradually disappear at the other end of the platform. She returned to her original position with a smile, her face full of joy and anticipation.
When Grand Senior Sister reached the Heavenly Scripture Platform, she pushed open the heavy stone door. The door let out a slow, dull creaking sound. What appeared in front of her was a huge stone square, surrounded by spiraling bookshelves. The staircase was on the opposite side of the stone square.
The stone square was paved with square stone slabs. Grand Senior Sister turned back to look at the stone door that was slowly closing behind her. She secretly heaved a sigh of relief. I'm really lucky today. If it wasn't for Ji Chunhua's reminder, I would have died here!
Without a doubt, this Grand Senior Sister was none other than Yuehan. She studied the array hidden in the stone square. Sure enough, it was a strange array set up by the Yang Escape technique. She was naturally proficient in this type of array. She followed the Yang Escape technique and walked halfway. At this time, she purposely stopped. Sure enough, she heard a low and inconspicuous sound of a mechanism coming from underground. The surrounding stone slabs undulated slightly. Some slabs sank, while others protruded. The distance between them was no more than one or two centimetres. If one didn't pay attention, they wouldn't be able to detect it!
If one wanted to take advantage of this array and fly over it, lightning would immediately fall from the sky. Even a Da Luo Jin Xian would be blasted to pieces. Hence, one could only walk over the stone.
If one didn't know how to break the array, they would definitely die in the array!
Grand Senior Sister … no, Yuehan carefully followed the Yin Escape's method to break the array and completed the last half of the journey. She finally arrived at the bottom of the stairs and heaved a sigh of relief. She looked up at the tall bookshelf and smiled coldly.
Grand Senior Sister, you won't be able to hide for long!
