From a loser to an immortal sage

Chapter 292 Xiao Yao Receives Reinforcements: Immortal Sect's Assistance

Warm dust...

It's really him!

He stood at the cave entrance, his figure as upright as a pine tree, his white robes shining brighter than snow, making him exceptionally dazzling in the dim cave.

My heart skipped a beat, and a warm current flowed through my body.

I so wish he would come over, give me a hug, and tell me that everything will be alright.

But he just stood there quietly, looking at me with a complicated expression, without coming over.

The firelight in the cave illuminated his face, and I couldn't see his expression, but I could feel the cold aura emanating from him.

Is it...

Is he still blaming me?

Is it my fault for acting on my own and ignoring his advice?

I bit my lip, about to say something, when suddenly, a commotion came from outside the cave.

I was startled and quickly turned my head to look.

A group of cultivators dressed in various colors were seen flying in on their swords. Their auras were powerful, and it was clear at a glance that they were experts from a celestial sect.

"Xiao Yao!" A loud voice rang out. I looked in the direction of the voice and saw an old man with white hair and a youthful face standing on a flying sword. He looked at me with bright eyes and a gratified smile on his face.

"You did very well! You truly deserve to be a disciple of my immortal sect!"

Immortal Sect...

disciple?

I was stunned for a moment, then it dawned on me that Wen Chen was a member of the Immortal Sect, and he must have told the Immortal Sect about my situation.

An indescribable surge of excitement and gratitude welled up within me.

Immediately afterwards, more cultivators descended from the sky, bringing all sorts of resources and treasures, piling up like mountains, almost filling the entire cave.

As I looked at these things, my heart was filled with joy. The light of glory seemed to shine on me, filling my previously exhausted body with strength.

"These are all prepared for you by the Immortal Sect. With these, your path to revenge will be much smoother." Wen Chen finally spoke. His voice was still cold, but there was a hint of gentleness in his tone.

I nodded gratefully, my heart filled with hope and anticipation.

The air around me seemed to come alive, as if it were cheering for me.

I raised my head, my gaze unwavering as I looked ahead. I knew my path to revenge had only just begun…

But just then, I noticed something wriggling in a corner that everyone else had overlooked…

"Hmph, you think you can make me submit with these? You're too naive!" A cold voice came from the corner, and only then did I notice the writhing black shadow.

It was a person, completely wrapped in a black robe, with only a pair of eyes flashing with a fierce light showing.

He staggered to his feet, holding a strangely shaped magical artifact that emanated an unsettling aura.

"They're remnants of Black Wind Stronghold!" a disciple from a cultivation sect exclaimed, his voice tinged with tension.

I squinted, staring intently at the person, my palms slightly sweaty.

I have already killed the Black Wind Stronghold Chief, but these remaining forces still dare to jump out. They are truly still up to no good.

The hatred and madness in their eyes made me realize that this was going to be another tough battle.

"Today, I will annihilate you all!" I said coldly, my voice filled with killing intent.

Just as I was about to make a move, Wen Chen blocked my way. His gaze was piercing, staring directly at the man in black robes, as if he wanted to see right through him.

"No need to lift a finger, I'll handle it." His voice remained cool, but carried an undeniable authority.

Upon seeing this, the man in black robes let out a sharp, cold laugh: "So what if you're an Immortal Venerable? Today, I will make you all perish here!" The magical artifact in his hand suddenly emitted a black light, instantly enveloping the entire cave.

My vision blurred, the surrounding scenery began to distort and deform, and a buzzing sound came to my ears, as if I were in a huge vortex.

"It's a maze!" I was startled and quickly circulated my spiritual power to try to dispel the fog in front of me.

However, the fog seemed to have a life of its own; instead of dissipating, it grew thicker and thicker, completely obscuring my vision.

I began to feel anxious and uneasy, and my body felt numb. A nameless sense of fear welled up in my heart.

I tried to attack the surrounding area, but it was as if I hit thin air; there was no reaction.

The atmosphere around me became increasingly eerie, and I could even feel countless eyes watching me from the shadows.

I gritted my teeth, trying my best to stay awake and not be fooled by this maze.

I could feel Wen Chen beside me; he must have been affected by the maze as well.

I took a deep breath, trying to figure out which way to go.

Suddenly, I felt something strange under my feet. I looked down and saw the soil on the ground slowly wriggling, as if something was about to break through the earth.

I instinctively took a step back, but then I felt my foot slip and I lost my balance.

Just as I was about to fall, I heard a familiar whisper, "Don't move..." Then, a warm force steadied me.

A warm force steadied me, and when I opened my eyes, I found that Wen Chen had come to my side at some point. He had one arm around my waist and held a sword in the other, his eyes scanning the surroundings warily.

I steadied myself and realized that we were suspended in mid-air, with swirling mist beneath our feet, like a chaotic ocean.

"Don't be afraid." Wen Chen's voice rang in my ears, deep and reassuring.

I nodded, took a deep breath, and tried to stay calm.

Instead of recklessly attempting to break the maze as usual, I took out an exquisite compass from my storage bag.

This is a "Discerning Compass" specially prepared for me by the Immortal Sect. It is said to be able to detect various formations and illusions.

I channeled my spiritual energy into the compass, and the pointer on the compass began to spin rapidly, emitting a faint golden light.

The surrounding disciples of the immortal sects were all surprised to see this, and whispers echoed in the mist.

"She actually possesses the Insight-Discerning Compass! That's a supreme treasure of the immortal sects!"

"It seems the Immortal Sect has really gone all out this time."

"With this compass, breaking the formation is only a matter of time."

I sneered inwardly. Black Wind Stronghold remnants, do you think you can trap me like this?

too naive!

Just then, a sharp whistling sound suddenly came from the mist, followed by countless dark figures darting out of the mist and attacking us like ghosts.

"Be careful!" I warned, raising the Vision-Dispelling Compass high above my head. The golden light on the compass instantly surged, dispelling a large area of ​​the surrounding mist.

Those dark figures were incredibly fast, arriving in front of us in the blink of an eye.

I brandished my longsword and engaged them in battle.

Wen Chen also joined the battle. His swordsmanship was extremely fierce, and each strike carried a powerful pressure, forcing the dark figures to retreat step by step.

The battle was extremely fierce, and the surrounding space was distorted by the fluctuations of spiritual energy. The disciples of the immortal sects watching the battle were all holding their breath for us.

As I fought, I kept an eye on the instructions of the Insight Compass, searching for flaws in the maze.

Suddenly, the pointer of the Insight Compass stopped spinning and pointed in one direction.

I was overjoyed—I'd found it!

"Follow me!" I shouted and flew in the direction the pointer was pointing.

Wen Chen followed closely behind, and the other disciples of the immortal sects followed suit.

We continued forward, passing through thick fog, and finally arrived at a valley.

I stopped and turned to Wen Chen, saying, "Lead them in." I stared intently at the entrance to the valley, where the mist was thicker than elsewhere, like the mouth of a giant beast, waiting for its prey.

I can sense that this valley contains powerful energy, which is the key to breaking the formation.

"Wen Chen, lead them in!" I emphasized again, my voice filled with unwavering determination.

Wen Chen nodded slightly without saying anything. He swung his long sword, the sword energy like a rainbow, forcing the dark figures to flee in all directions.

Although the remaining forces were trapped by the maze, they remained ferocious. They roared and pounced on us like a pack of bloodthirsty beasts.

I could clearly hear the whooshing sound of their magical weapons as they wielded them, carrying the threat of death, but I felt no fear whatsoever; instead, I was filled with excitement.

I could feel the surge of spiritual energy within me; it was the roar of the desire for victory.

Wen Chen cleverly led the shadowy figures towards the valley entrance, while I quickly took out an array flag from my storage bag and threw it forcefully. The array flag quickly unfolded in the air, forming a golden barrier that completely sealed off the valley entrance.

In the valley, a powerful airflow began to surge, the ground began to tremble, and the originally flat terrain began to twist, forming a natural trap.

"Ah!!" The shadowy figures let out a shrill scream. They realized they were trapped and frantically attacked the golden barrier, but no matter how hard they struggled, they could not break through its restraints.

The disciples of the immortal sect exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this scene. They were amazed by my wisdom and filled with admiration for me.

I could feel the admiration in their gazes. I smiled slightly; it felt wonderful to be recognized.

I quickly summoned the Insight-Dispelling Compass and infused it with spiritual power.

The compass needle began to spin again, eventually pointing to the center of the valley.

I could sense that this was the core of the maze, and the key to breaking it.

"Follow me!" I shouted, and in a flash, I rushed into the valley.

Wen Chen followed closely behind, and the other disciples of the immortal sects followed suit.

In the valley, the fog grew even thicker, but the golden light of the Vision-Breaking Compass acted like a lighthouse, guiding us in the right direction.

We traversed through thick fog and finally arrived at the center of the valley, where we saw a huge black stone covered with densely packed runes, exuding an unsettling aura.

“This is it!” I pointed to the black stone and said to the disciples of the immortal sect behind me.

The disciples of the immortal sect immediately surrounded me, and following my prior instructions, they poured their spiritual power into the array patterns on the ground.

As spiritual energy was injected, the ground began to emit a dazzling light, and a powerful array began to operate.

"No! This is impossible!" The remnant shrouded in black robes screamed in despair. He frantically attacked the surrounding array patterns, but to no avail. The power of the array bound him tightly, rendering him unable to move.

Looking at his desperate expression, I smiled slightly, and the joy of victory filled my whole body.

At that moment, I felt like I was the master of this world, and all my enemies seemed utterly helpless in front of me.

As the formation activated, the mist in the valley gradually dissipated, and the dark figures vanished into nothingness.

The valley gradually returned to calm, leaving only me and the disciples of the immortal sect standing in place.

"It's over," I said softly, feeling a sense of accomplishment.

Just then, Wen Chen suddenly turned his head, his gaze thoughtful, and slowly said:

"This is just the beginning..."
