I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples

Chapter 2071: Chapter 2071: Heavenly Jade Treasure Tree, A Thread of Hope

There’s no situation worse than this.

The current Banan Border is likely already in deep peril; despite having Huo Xiedao guarding it, there are few high-level powers, and its fall is probably just a matter of time.

The most crucial factor now is time.

Currently, they cannot break through the formation quickly, and even worse... although they are able to resist the evil aura absorbing their blood essence and soul through their own strength and the righteousness of Han Shouyi, Lu Mingyuan, and the Qingcheng Mountain lineage, it is not permanent.

Han Shouyi spread his righteousness to everyone present... including all the elders and disciples of the Heavenly Seal Sect, frowning as he said, ”At most, my immortal aura will be exhausted in five days.”

Lu Mingyuan smiled bitterly, ”I can only support for three days.”

Needless to say for Ning Chenxin.

Although Ning Chenxin’s righteousness is purer than that of Han Shouyi and Lu Mingyuan, ultimately his realm does not compare to theirs.

Qin Zhao snorted coldly, ”I don’t believe this formation can withstand the full power of all of us!”

Yang Shao nodded, ”There’s no choice but to try now.”

As soon as the words fell, everyone’s gaze focused on that dark red blood screen covering the sky and earth.

Jiang Yi nodded, holding the blood-colored saber horizontally in front of him, releasing the vast aura of the Formless Realm without reservation. The saber hummed, and the bloody aura surged skyward: ”I will attack; everyone temporarily lend me your power, converge it at one point!”

The gray-clad elder stepped forward, his withered hand striking out, as a stream of pure and heavy gray immortal essence rushed into Jiang Yi’s body: ”I’ll lend you a hand.”

The Mystic Armor General let out a low roar, his battle spear pounding the ground, forming a silver torrent of battle intent that also converged towards Jiang Yi.

Ba Xiyue, Yang Shao, Qin Zhao, Chu Ran, and even the leader of the Heavenly Seal Sect at this moment abandoned any grudges and reservations, pouring out their power without holding back.

Han Shouyi, Lu Mingyuan, and Ning Chenxin simultaneously released their righteousness, not for direct attack but as a layer of clear halo enveloping Jiang Yi’s blade, aiming to purify the chaotic energy possibly absorbed by the formation, making the attack more pure.

Netherworld King, Hong Ying, and Xu Yeming exchanged glances and also transmitted their powers.

Jiang Yi felt the unprecedented surging power within him, his gaze sharp as a blade, gripping the hilt with both hands, slowly lifting it above his head.

The blood-colored saber absorbed everyone’s power, the blade violently trembling, emitting an overwhelmed hum, as the blood light intertwined with silver, gray, and green hues, finally materializing into a condensed extreme dark red saber beam, almost tearing the space!

”Break——!!”

Jiang Yi shouted angrily, using all his strength to slash down!

Where the saber beam passed, space showed distorted ripples, fiercely cleaving at the densest point above the crowd on the blood screen!

Boom——!!!

A deafening roar exploded, the entire Blood Prison Soul Refining Array violently shook, with the area where the blood screen was hit deeply concaving inward, surface erupted with intense ripples, innumerable blood-colored runes flickered violently, emitting a piercing cracking sound!

”There’s hope!” an elder of the Heavenly Seal Sect exclaimed with surprise.

However, just as everyone’s spirits were lifted, a sudden change occurred!

That deeply concaved blood screen, even showing tiny cracks, instead of shattering, began to wriggle intensely like a living thing!

Even stronger dark red evil light burst from the cracks, a suction force multiplied several times stronger suddenly erupted!

”Not good! It’s absorbing the attack energy to repair itself, and the suction force has become stronger!” Lu Mingyuan’s expression changed, shouting sharply.

As soon as he spoke, several disciples from the Heavenly Seal Sect, who were close to the blood screen, were caught off guard, screaming as they were sucked into the air, their bodies shriveling visibly, as their blood essence and soul turned into wisps of red smoke and merged into the cracks in the blood screen.

To the horrified eyes of everyone, those cracks began slowly healing!

”Retreat quickly!” Han Shouyi swept his sleeve, and the blue path patterns formed a barrier, forcibly pulling back the disciples who were close, but a few could not escape and instantly turned into dry corpses, falling.

The formation’s suction was not only aimed at blood essence and soul but was feverishly extracting even the immortal essence and spiritual energy scattered outside!

Jiang Yi and the others, due to their recent full-power attack, felt somewhat exhausted at this moment; under the abrupt strengthening of suction, they felt their internal power flowing away faster.

”Damn it!” Qin Zhao’s face turned pale, his sword-holding hand trembling slightly.

Yang Shao also displayed bitterness, never expecting that gathering everyone’s strength would instead heighten the power of the evil formation.

Ba Xiyue looked at Han Shouyi, eyes carrying a trace of barely noticeable despair: ”Senior Han, is it really...”

Han Shouyi frowned deeply, sensing the rapid consumption of righteousness within him, and said heavily, ”This formation is bizarre, forcibly breaking it might be counterproductive.”

The evil cultivators who set up this formation... their strength surely rivals his, after absorbing so many sects’ souls and blood essence, becoming so terrifying...

A sense of hopelessness began to spread. The disciples of the Heavenly Seal Sect grew even more ashen-faced, with some of the weaker-willed already crying softly.

At this moment, the leader of the Heavenly Seal Sect, who had remained silent and whose expression was changing unpredictably, suddenly raised his head, a determined glow flashing in his eyes.

He looked towards Ba Xiyue, then at Han Shouyi and the others, said: ”Your Highness, elders... perhaps, there’s still one way.”

Instantly, everyone’s gaze focused on him.

The leader of the Heavenly Seal Sect took a deep breath, as if making a certain decision, slowly said, ”The foundation of our sect is not some profound cultivation techniques, but a Heavenly Jade Treasure Tree passed down since the time of the founding Ancestral Master.”

”Heavenly Jade Treasure Tree?” Ba Xiyue asked in confusion.

”This tree doesn’t grow outside, but is an exotic treasure nurtured in the secret land of the sect with sect luck and the blood essence of successive sect leaders,” the sect leader explained, his face showing complexity, ”According to the Ancestral Master’s notes, the treasure tree holds the purest and righteous Heavenly Seal Divine Light, capable of restraining and purifying all evil. If the Divine Light can be induced, not only this evil formation, but any stronger evil can be purged!”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s spirits lifted.

Chu Ran, however, scoffed, ”If such a treasure exists, why not use it earlier? Only when the sect is on the brink of destruction and disciples die do you mention it?”

The sect leader looked ashamed, smiling bitterly, ”It’s not about being stingy, but... ever since the third generation of the Ancestral Master, no one has received the treasure tree’s recognition to awaken its divine power.

The treasure tree remained dormant in the secret land; we guard a treasure mountain without finding its entrance.

Over time, this secret was passed down only by successive sect leaders, with even elders and disciples largely unaware, considering it just an ancient legend. If not for today’s desperate situation, I... I wouldn’t dare mention it, fearing to raise hope only to bring disappointment.”

Han Shouyi’s eyes flickered: ”Treasure tree’s recognition? What kind of requirements does it need?”

The sect leader smiled bitterly, shaking his head: ”There’s no mention of it; each sect leader and elders, even disciples, have tried, but no one could awaken the Heavenly Jade Treasure Tree. We can only hope for luck.”

But until now, there’s no better option.

Han Shouyi nodded, ”Lead us there.”
