Painting of the Nine Immortals - Chapter 720
Chapter 720: Vanished
Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi
The sky darkened and debris was being flung everywhere.
The clouds were solidifying on top of the City of Sin as crazy wind rolled out. As if it was the end of the world, the area was filled with depression and hopelessness.
In the sky, the array board was shining like the eternal Sun that continued to shed a blinding amount of light and extreme terror.
Under Ling Xian’s control, the golden array board descended slowly, as if the world was about to be turned upside down and the entire universe was about to be destroyed!
HOMMMM!
The space shook and the earth split open. Every time the array board dropped an inch, the Guardian City sank in an inch. It absolutely could not resist.
What could they do? The Heaven Shadowing Array was far too powerful and the City of Sin was nowhere near as glorious as its past.
Even though the city remained standing, in front of the array constructed by the two Immortals, what good was it?
Therefore, the City of Sin was easily suppressed. In such a short period of time, it had already sunk into the ground by more than half. If this continues, the entire city will be buried in another 15 minutes.
“What a powerful heavenly array. It truly is the creation of two real immortals.”
Ling Xian’s eyes flickered with awe. He didn’t think the Heaven Shadowing Array was as powerful as it has proven to be. Though the array was not an offensive one, its suppression abilities could easily kill those of the original level.
Thinking that this powerful array had admitted him to be its owner, a bright smile appeared on his face.
Everyone who possessed this terrifying array would be happy about it.
“There is no time to waste. I need to bury the City of Sin quickly before powerhouses sniff this out and come.”
Ling Xian squinted his eyes and injected his Qi into the array board. Instantly, the infinite amount of light shone even brighter, competing against the blinding Sun.
At the same time, its Qi grew stronger and shook the entire space, ripping apart the ground.
HOMMMMM!
The speed at which the City of Sin was sinking increased. It was as if there was a giant hand that was pushing it down into the ground.
Then, the Heaven Shadowing Array Board showed off its prowess again. Transforming into dots of light, the array board followed the city and went into the ground. Next, the cracked up earth slowly began to heal. The wind also stopped blowing as the clouds dispersed.
Heaven and Earth soon restored its normal clarity.
The eternal Sun appeared once again and hung in mid sky, exuding warm and bright light. Whoever saw it would praise how good the weather was.
Who would think that just seconds before, the sky was depressingly terrifying and it looked like the end of the world?
Even if anyone did witness the entire process and Ling Xian’s role in it, they would be too startled by it and question if the scenery they just saw was real. They would also doubt whether the City of Sin truly existed inside the Taoism community.
It is all because the moment the array board and the city became deeply buried, Ling Xian had called out to his Qi. However, he did not detect even the slightest trace of the City of Sin, he couldn’t even tell that there was a city here at all.
It was as if the city had evaporated from the world without a trace.
However, Ling Xian knew very well that the city is in the land right below his feet. However, he couldn’t detect it. These contradictory emotions made him speechless and astounded him.
“The City of Sin is gone. Though I know it’s below my feet, I cannot feel it.”
Ling Xian mumbled and exclaimed, “It truly is an array created by two immortals. It is flawless and it is perfection. Even for someone like me, who witnessed the entire process, I cannot detect the Qi of the City of Sin.”
“If the Heaven Shadowing Array didn’t recognize me as its owner and I can sense its existence, even I would wonder if the City of Sin was buried deep or if it never existed in the first place.”
Ling Xian bitterly smiled. It wasn’t that his Qi was too weak or that he didn’t have the resolve.
The Heaven Shadowing Array was just too powerful and had perfectly sealed the City of Sin without any leakage of its existence. Not only that, even the ground that was ripped apart had now reconnected so flawlessly that it was as if it was never cracked.
To put it bluntly, even the most powerful cultivator in the world would not be able to detect the City of Sin.
This was the Heaven Shadowing Array created by two real immortals!
Not only could it perfectly conceal anything and everything, but it could also hide itself. Even if someone digs a mile deep hole, they would not be able to find the City of Sin!
“This calms me down.”
After attempting to pinpoint the array multiple times and failing to do so, Ling Xian stopped worrying.
The entrance to the other world was far too important. If the news leaks, then he would find himself in a spiral of endless troubles.
Now that the City of Sin had been perfectly concealed by the Heaven Shadowing array, he naturally had nothing to worry about.
“Though there will definitely be people looking for the City of Sin, with the Heaven Shadowing Array, those people will definitely be returning to their respective Houses without success.”
Ling Xian grinned. “Since that would be the case, then I can leave without worrying.”
Then, he called out to the Winged Blitz and began to fly towards Ao Xian House.
The City of Sin was now buried by the Heaven Shadowing Array, he had no reason to stay here.
Not long after he left, countless people arrived at this piece of land. There were women and men, all of whom were exuding extraordinary Qi that weighed as heavy as mountains.
These people were all completion leveled cultivators from land nearby. After sensing the giant movements, they all arrived to see what the fuss was about.
They all looked up to the clear blue sky and the flat wide earth, their faces were full of disbelief.
Only after a long while did a studious-looking woman open her lips and broke the silence.
“This should be where the City of Sin is right?”
This statement, whether it was her tone or the content, was full of uncertainty, silencing her companions.
“I think… it should be here.”
“Based on my memory, the City of Sin should be here, but at the moment, I can’t seem to be able to sense the city at all.”
“Unbelievable… I noticed great movements just now that mimicked the end of the world. Yet why is the world I’m seeing so peaceful and calm as if nothing had happened?”
“That’s not important. What’s important is that the ancient city had disappeared!”
The completion leveled cultivators all chimed in. Their voices were dense with shock and uncertainty.
Based on their memory, there should be an ancient city standing here that never collapsed despite the test of time.
But before their eyes, this city had disappeared completely without a trace. Why wouldn’t they be shocked? Some of them were even thinking that their memories were serving them incorrectly.
However, they all knew that it wasn’t possible. One person may remember something wrong, but there was no way that a group of people all remembered something wrong.
In other words, the City of Sin existed but had disappeared without leaving behind anything.
After they searched again and again with their Qi, they stayed put as if thunderstruck.
At that moment, they were certain that the ancient city had truly disappeared.
Truly and undoubtedly disappeared!
