Chapter 16: Barrier
his primordial spirit and essence very quickly. Facing such a 10th-order monster, Lu Xia Tian’s originally well-prepared ninth-order primordial spirit essence simply couldn't withstand the drain.The c...He had been manipulated by the old man in black robe without realizing it, repeatedly being outwitted. If not for this mysterious fog, he would have likely perished this time, his primordial spirit swallowed by the old man in black robe.
At present, by a stroke of luck, he had escaped the crisis. Lu Xia Tian was overjoyed and didn't have time to consider the origins of the mist. Anyone who could help him out of danger was a blessing from heaven. It seemed that his life was not meant to end. At the same time, Lu Xia Tian hated the old man in black robe intensely. He ridiculed and mocked the old man, making him furious and shouting wildly.
"Boy, don't get cocky. You think this measly fog can stop me What a foolish dream. Well, then let you see what I'm capable of."
The old man in black robes' primordial spirit was shrouded in mist no more than a few feet away. He shouted several times, let out a cold snort, and then flew backwards tens of feet.

Lu Xiaitian's face changed. He knew the old man in black robes was powerful. The old monster had many immortal spells, especially that golden flying sword which could split mountains and shatter stones as if they were nothing. It could easily carve out a cave dwelling, and the layer of mist before them seemed thin and not very sturdy. However, Lu Xiaitian was helpless against the danger he faced. Even if he wanted to escape, his speed couldn't compare to the old man in black robes.
"Fireball!" A series of small fireballs, each trailing flames, appeared as the black-robed elder chanted. They slammed into the mist one after another.
Lu Xiaotien was startled, ready to flee, but suddenly noticed that although those fireballs looked fierce and made a booming explosion, the protective shield formed by the mist remained completely unaffected. In an instant, the anxiety in his heart subsided. With this experience, he remembered waking up from the cliff, realizing that what he thought was a dream was actually his primordial spirit discovering a mysterious place within his body.
“Old man, it seems your magic isn't very good either.”
“Don’t be too proud, old man, I still have a lot of spells unused.” The black-robed elder’s primordial spirit roared, “Golden Spear Technique!”
Ten golden bullets, each one firing like a miniature cannon, struck the mist shroud. Countless fragments of gold sprayed outwards, but the nearly transparent veil remained utterly motionless. Not even a speck appeared on its surface.
"Wind Blade!"
"Earth Spike Technique!"
"Water Gun!"
After a burst of crackling sounds, the old man in black robes let out a scream, "Ah, how did I fall back to the eleventh level of Qi Refining!"
Lu Xia tian now felt completely at ease. Only then did he notice that the body representing the old man in black robes had dimmed considerably. It looked more transparent than before. So it turned out that casting spells in a primordial spirit state would decrease one's strength.
If this old monster continues like this, he will probably fall to the Qi Refining stage in no time. So he stepped forward, across the mist screen, and said loudly, “Old thing, why can't you fight anymore Keep fighting! I’m right here.”
“You brat, don't get cocky!” The black-robed old man was so angry that he ascended to heaven as a Buddha and had another Buddha appear in the world. However, he spent his days scheming with other cultivators. How could he be easily tricked by Lu Xia Tian Soon, he reacted and said, “Boy, you don't have to anger me. I've eaten more salt than rice you've eaten, so I wouldn't fall for your trick.”

As expected of an old fox. Lu Xia Tian cursed under his breath, he couldn't beat him in a fight and his words wouldn't provoke him either. He was truly difficult to deal with, luckily he couldn't get out, otherwise things would be really tough for himself.

"Don't play smart Well, whatever. You can't hit me anyway. You're stuck here now, stay here for the rest of your life."
"Do you know what place this is Is there any way out Tell me, let's wipe the slate clean on our past grievances. You've always wanted to learn my arts, haven't you I'll teach you everything." The black-robed elder's eyes flickered, his soul floating in the air. He looked at Lu Xiaodao with a complex gaze.
“Do you think I’m stupid After being tricked once, do you want me to be fooled again I'm afraid that when I let you go, it will be my downfall.”
Lu Xiaotien let out a cold snort. This old fox was cunning and his experience far surpassed that of a young lad like him. Some of his methods were beyond Lu Xiaotien's comprehension. After all, besides cultivating the Hun Yuan Jing, he had no knowledge of immortal arts. This time, he had luckily escaped the other party's clutches, but it wasn't due to his own skill, but pure luck. If given another chance by the black-robed old man, he might not be so fortunate again.
“Can't the master swear an oath Please, let this old man out!” The black-robed elder pleaded in a mournful voice.
“You're going to stay in there forever, aren't you” Lu XiaTian said happily, ignoring the other party and drifting away. He remembered that last time, he seemed to have passed through a barrier, then his divine sense went black, and he left this place.
At this time, Lu Xia Tian flew far away and took a closer look. He discovered that this barrier had a faint blue color, circular in shape, resembling a greatly enlarged blue fruit. It was like a thin film-like barrier, with a piece of land floating inside. Lu Xia Tian looked carefully and found that this piece of land also resembled the terrain of the canyon to some extent.
Lu Xia Tian also had some doubts in his heart. He was just a boy who ate a green fruit, but the situation seemed like he had eaten a canyon down his belly.
"Hey, hey, don't leave!" the black-robed old man cried out in a hurry, but Lu Xiaottian's lifeless figure had already vanished from sight. He couldn't help but let out an angry and resentful shout, "You little brat, you think you can get away with this You being able to get out means there must be a way to leave. If this old man finds the way out, then when the time comes, I'll make you wish you were never born!"
... hisses
A searing pain, like needles piercing his skin, made Lu Xia Tian gasp in cold air. This was the effect of the soul-locking soup that the black-robed elder had spoken of. Lu Xia Tian opened his eyes, and the black-robed elder stood before him, one hand pressing against his heavenly cap. His heart skipped a beat as he saw this old face, a genuine fear rising within him. However, on that withered face, like the bark of an ancient tree, there was no life left.
This must be the case that the Black Robe Elder's soul hadn't returned to his body, so what stood before him was only a mere physical shell. To even fear a body without a soul, he was truly pathetic. Lu Xia Tian scoffed at himself, moving the Black Robe Elder's disgusting hand from atop his head.
“All schemes and calculations have come to an end, your heart is wicked beyond measure, I never thought you'd end up like this.” Looking at the old man in black robes standing there like a wooden stake, Lu XiaTian’s courage grew.
The old man in black robes had several small black pouches hanging from his waist. Lu Xia Tian remembered that these pouches seemed to have storage functions. The old man would often put things into the pouches and then take them out again. Thinking that the old man's tools might all be in these black pouches, Lu Xia Tian was suddenly excited. The old man in black robes was suspicious by nature and carried most of his good things with him. There was hardly anything left in his cave dwelling.
However, in his memory, the old man in black usually only carried one black bag when traveling. Now there were four, which was rather strange. But more bags meant more things. All these things belonged to him now, Lu Buxian carefully took down the several black bags.
And also on the old man in black robes' waist was a jade gourd, which he knew was specially used to hold the little green ants. Naturally, he accepted it with a smile.
"By the way, there's also the old man's golden flying sword." Lu Xiaotian suddenly remembered the scene when the black-robed elder opened his cave dwelling, and the golden sword flew out of his sleeve.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
So he couldn't wait to turn the old man in black's sleeve pouch inside out, but it was empty, with nothing inside. A little angry, Lu Xia Tian searched the old man in black thoroughly, but he couldn't find the golden flying sword anywhere.
Could he have already been hidden in the storage pouch He thought to himself, that was the only explanation. Glancing at the old man in black's body, his heart moved, and he pushed the old man's physical body into the soul-locking soup in the wooden barrel. He added some more water to the barrel, making sure it covered his head. Since this soul-locking soup couldn't be penetrated by the soul, even if the old man in black miraculously came out later, he wouldn't be able to return to this body. It was a way to avenge the previous arrow!. Although there were some things he wanted to know about Zhu Shi Lin, this wasn't the right time. Even though this icy storm area could offer some concealment for energy fluctuations, Lu Xiao Tian c...
