Cheat Cultivator's Ascension

Chapter 71: Entering the Barrier



"There's a lot following us" Wu Xiaotian, despite being the one in the very front of the group, detected several groups, probably from other strong forces moving behind them, their small gathering of nine people paling in comparison to the dozens, if not hundreds of people that consists each of the groups.

"Damn, that's a lot, why is it that we're the only one moving without fellow sect members behind us…" looking behind, Wang Sheng saw the waves of people trailing behind them, clear from his tone the feeling of being dealt with an unfair card, as nearly all of the people that comes from the same forces as their groups are mostly too far away to contact, or some are just too scared to go there.

Nodding at Wang Sheng's sentiments, Ling Feng also expresses his opinion about the matter as he said, "I agree with Sheng, it is certainly disadvantageous for us, that is not even taking into consideration the difficulty of dealing with these guys should they come after us, and that's even with Tian backing us up"

"Less talking, more moving fellows, if we're fast enough to find and reach the true entrance of the inheritance area, it will be much easier for us to grab some valuables without competing with the other factions" as they continue moving closer to the barrier of the inheritance area, Huo Chen interjected, reminding the two of the most important issue.

"I agree with Huo Chen, there's no need to worry about the others behind us as long as they won't come close enough to compete with us" Bing Xue added, nodding towards her childhood sweetheart's idea.

"That's fair, but Sis Xue, we also need to think of a plan on how to deal with those people on the event that they managed to reach close enough to us" Leng Yue, despite agreeing with her still decided to go and support Wang Sheng's thoughts a bit, after all, despite not showing it, she doesn't want anything negative affecting the guy, and a simple thing like her agreeing with his thoughts can easily prevent anything negative from appearing in his mind.

"Alright alright kids, let's stop this argument for now okay, Lian Lian and me can easily deal with wave of mobs without breaking a sweat, so there's no need to worry about numbers understand?" Feeling that the atmosphere between the younger ones starting to get a bit tense, Hua Xian'er defused the situation as she assured them with her confident voice, hearing her words, the young people eventually calmed down.

"Wow… Xian Xian, you're really a good babysitter you know? Maybe you're destined to be a great mother" seeing her actions easily subduing the group, Hong Lian couldn't help but give her a thumbs up while she looks towards this sworn sister of hers, her words despite being a compliment still sounding like some sort of mockery in Hua Xian'er's mind

"Only if someone can handle me!!!" hearing the last line of her sentence, Hua Xian'er only smiles as she proudly received the 'compliment' from her sworn sister. Hearing her words, the two involuntarily stare at each other before their gazes move towards the young man leading the group, their heart skipping a beat causing chaotic thoughts to appear in their minds.

'Go away bad spirits!!!'

'No… must not have such thoughts!!!'

Despite wording it in their minds differently, both of them essentially want the same thing, that being the figure of Wu Xiaotian stop appearing in their mind, the appearance of said figure seemingly living rent free in them.

"We're arriving, the barrier looks like it's not shattered but entry is already possible…" using his mastery of runic inscription, along with his [True Sight Technique] Wu Xiaotian managed to peer into the current state of the barrier, his words snapping the two ladies out of their reverie, the lady beside him looking behind as if to remind all of them.

"Remember, the insides of the barrier can look completely different from what we see outside, so always be cautious and expect whatever the unexpected so that we can be a bit safer" the white-haired mature lady reminded, prompting everyone to nod their head in agreement.

"And on the off chance that this barrier possesses a spatial distortion array and made us all separated, immediately use your phones to try and contact each other, preferably on a regular interval" Wu Xiaotian finally added before they arrive in front of the barrier, its grand size paling in comparison when compared to looking at it from far away, from their position, said barrier seems to pierce through and separate the sky into two.

"Is it fine to enter now?" pushing her right hand against the barrier, Hua Xian'er feels a repulsing force trying to push her out, the barrier spreading out waves whenever she tries infusing strength into her hand. After a few more tries of this, Wu Xiaotian finally stops her as he held on to her wrist gently, smiling as he shakes his head, before letting her hand go as he said, "Allow me"

With an intangible energy starting to emanate from him, his sworn friends, as well as his wife starts to feel a mysterious aura surrounding him, such feeling giving them some sort of enlightenment, as they feel like their minds travel back to a past where not even the concept of time and space exists yet.

Despite the experience being so vague and surreal that they felt that what just happened is just a mere fragment of imagination, their belief in what they saw being true sticks solidly in their minds as they start to notice that their comprehensions of the majority of their techniques improve, even if just a bit.

Waking up from their enlightened state, they opened their eyes as they look towards the immortal-like young man, before their gaze roam around, thinking that some time might have passed since they entered that state, only to find out that not only is the sun still in the same position, the several groups of forces from the distance only moves a few feet from their position, making them realize that it's only a few seconds that they entered that state, despite feeling that they have been there for so long.

Despite having an idea of what just happened, Wu Xiaotian just choose not to mention it to them, thinking to himself that all of them are trustworthy enough for him to show some of his secrets, in addition to that, he also thought that showing it to them is definitely worth it, given that they're people from forces as powerful as the Extreme Martial Sect, and him being talented enough might place him in the eyes of his sworn brother and sister's elders.

'Maybe I can even ask them to help me free mom and grandma from the sect' he thought to himself, completely aware of the risk of the move as there are not only elders who fully support his friends but also one who would do anything for their own benefit, and his talent being known to such people will only be detrimental for him, however, the idea of the two women at home being free from that sect full of hypocritical and arrogant people, living happily together with him, completely tempts him, and made him think that no amount of hardship is not worth it so long as he can make this idea turn into reality.

As a part of the barrier collapse from the devouring property of his [Primordial Nihility Transcendent Qi], he snaps out of his thoughts, looking at the small door-like hole he created in the barrier, before looking towards the already close groups, the face of one of the young man staring at him as if he's a sheep, his reaction not even changing as he doesn't even give so much as a gaze towards the man, before waving his hand, his soul power exploding to create a domain that specifically suppress the arrogant-looking young man and everyone else wearing the same uniform as him, making the other groups wary.

Looking at Li Yan, Wu Xiaotian points towards the door causing the mature woman to nod, guiding his friends inside, making sure that they all entered before he approaches said entrance, moving backwards as he speaks towards the people watching him suppress the entire Purple Lightning Temple once more dumbfoundedly.

"I'll be seeing all of you inside" before his figure completely entered the barrier, he sends a smile towards them, some taking it as a taunt while some taking it as a friendly gesture, and some more extreme people taking it as nothing at all.
