Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses

Chapter 975: Chapter 300: What an Extraordinary Woman! Calamity of the Sect!

Yuchi had no choice, the matter of the Ascension Gate was certainly very important, and naturally he couldn’t continue to stay in this small town. Thus, he hurriedly rushed towards the outside of the town, uncertain about what was happening inside the Ascension Gate?

”Could it be that there are disciples from other sects in the Ascension Gate?”

”Or is the Ascension Gate under attack?”

”Or maybe there are mice in the Ascension Gate? The disciples are scared?”

”Or are they just simply missing me?”

The more I think about it, the more unreasonable it seems.

After leaving the small town, Yuchi ensured no one was around before departing the city. Upon returning to the Ascension Gate, it was in a very sorry state.

Fist-sized hailstones fell from the sky, and the entire Ascension Gate was completely shrouded by dark clouds. These fist-sized hailstones piled up in thick layers on the ground, and now Zong Qianqun had raised the Spiritual Energy Barrier to keep these hailstones outside.

If it were just hailstones, there wouldn’t be much issue.

The dense clouds revealed lightning streaks of blackish purple weaving through them, with thunderclaps and hail crashing down. The entire Ascension Gate seemed deeply immersed in a violent natural disaster, creating a feeling of complete darkness, except for the weak glow emanating from the streetlamps around the Martial Arts Arena, lacking the usual vitality.

There’s only a strange lifelessness.

Yuchi was quite puzzled, unsure if the Ascension Gate had experienced such harsh weather before. Could it be because the Ascension Gate had reached a higher level, causing the altitude to soar?

The higher altitude certainly meant the Ascension Gate’s temperature was lower, making it more susceptible to various natural disasters, which was understandable.

Hence, to prevent the Ascension Gate from being bombarded by these conditions, Yuchi decided to activate the Mountain Protection Array.

Originally, the Mountain Protection Array had never been activated because there was no need, but now there was a necessity. As the entire mountain of the Ascension Gate emitted a layer of silvery white glow, a faint silver Mountain Protection Array enveloped the surroundings of the Ascension Gate like an eggshell.

In reality, it was a sphere, but it was just invisible from below.

The Mountain Protection Array itself doesn’t directly generate spiritual energy for defense but uses the sect’s embedded arrays to communicate with the Heaven and Earth Qi, similar to the magnetic restraint of the past life, arranging and controlling the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi densely around the Ascension Gate to counter various threats.

As it doesn’t use the Ascension Gate’s spiritual energy, but the surrounding inexhaustible spiritual energy, the Mountain Protection Array is indeed terrifying, capable of withstanding most tier-skipping attacks, as long as the Ascension Gate’s arrays operate normally, there shouldn’t be a problem.

However, due to the intrinsic nature of the Mountain Protection Array, there’s one technique it cannot resist: Spiritual Energy Burst.

The most basic technique, Spiritual Energy Burst, is generally despised, but it has a peculiar effect on the Mountain Protection Array. There are gaps between spiritual energy particles, allowing the unaltered Spiritual Energy Burst to pass effortlessly through these ”Spiritual Energy Sieves.” Other techniques that alter the form of spiritual energy can’t pass through the ”Spiritual Energy Sieves” and are kept outside.

”Therefore, the Mountain Protection Array can defend against most techniques except for Spiritual Energy Burst while allowing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to enter the sect, making it an essential array for adventurers and merchants.”

”The drawback is that it requires the consumption of Spirit Stones as an ignition. When it falls on me, it directly drains my Dao points. The array doesn’t use attack intensity as a consumption speed standard. At the current stage, the Ascension Gate’s Mountain Protection Array consumes a steady thousand Dao points a day upon activation.”

”Alright.”

”A thousand is a thousand, as the harsh weather prevents Qian Qun from focusing on cultivation. This loss is not just a thousand, not to mention that if this weather continues, it will be quite expensive. Since it’s unlikely to last indefinitely, I can endure the cost of tens of thousands a year, but an occasional extravagance is still manageable.”

Yuchi stood in the Martial Arts Arena, observing the surroundings.

The situation was akin to a small cottage in the dark forest at night, with flickering oil lamp lights inside, very quiet, whereas outside the cottage, there’s a tempest and a torrential downpour, with the hail causing ripple patterns on the faint silvery Array, applying pressure to the entire Ascension Gate.

”Damn it, if I didn’t know better, I’d think the entire Ascension Gate had crossed over to the underworld.” Yuchi grumbled a bit.

The weather at the Ascension Gate had been good before; this was the first time experiencing such conditions.

Since it was like this, Yuchi proceeded towards the Immortal Grass Tower to check the situation there, as Little Sister Miaoyu had something to discuss with him, but after circling around, aside from seeing three herbal fields full of medicinal herbs, battered and in disarray, he saw no sign of the three female demons.
