Shadow Hack - Chapter 467
Chapter 467: Sect Master’s Obstruction
Those who weren’t too knowledgeable would only see Li Yunmu’s flesh turning into square-shaped blocks forming flesh armor, but there were also those who knew the facts about the heaven-defying defense of Cross Cover Armor.
As the cultivator’s strength became more formidable, their Cross Cover Armor would become more concentrated, and the size of square blocks would become even smaller.
When they became no larger than dust, no longer noticeable by the ordinary eyes, the technique would have reached its pinnacle.
But this was only something people thought, because since the ancient times, there was no record of a human achieving this step. Even those who had entered deity realm hadn’t been able to accomplish it.
As for Li Yunmu, although he had been able to cultivate this limit breaking cultivation method to the peak, the square blocks on his skin were as large and matchboxes due to the limits of his flesh. He was still far from attaining the legendary size of dust particles.
Clearly, Cross Cover Armor was the type of cultivation method which reinforced ones defense as their physical strength increased.
The reason why Li Yunmu hadn’t cultivated it and instead bestowed it onto the ape gods was not because he underestimated this limit breaking cultivation method, but because his physical strength hadn’t been sufficiently formidable at that time. Because of that, the benefits he would have obtained from investment in it wouldn’t have been worth it.
But were different since then. With his strength of one hundred and five oxen, he finally had enough vitality to cultivate this cultivation method, and its effect would be completely displayed.
When Li Yunmu finally displayed it, he presented the formidable power of a cultivation method which he had cultivated to the peak. At that moment not only Profound South Sect’s disciples sitting below the stage, but even the powerhouses sitting on top of the platform were also stupefied.
The next instant, the blocks of flesh all over his body quickly hardened. Then, one after another, black patterns appeared on the squares.
After careful observation, everyone discovered that the black patterns were flickering faintly.
“They are the patterns signifying great circle… According to legends, something like this only shows up when an extremely high level cultivation method is cultivated to the upper limit. But how could a twenty year something youth trigger this phenomenon?”
This sort of impossible situation could be considered a miracle, but at this moment, people didn’t have the time to think about it.
That was because Ren Feng had ruthlessly thrust his heavenly wolf spear toward Li Yunmu’s chest like a powerful drill.
“It’s a pretty good flux skill, but unfortunately you can only control it up to the seventh step. If you could use at least half of the maximum thirty-six steps, then perhaps you might’ve been able to penetrate my defense.”
Li Yunmu bend slightly and reached for the tip of Ren Feng’s heavenly wolf spear. If some other flux expert had dared to catch its tip with bare hands, their hand would’ve been cut straight away.
However, Li Yunmu in his inhuman state, caught the spear aimed toward his chest with bare hands. After that, the power of one hundred and five oxen erupted from him.
Ren Feng could sense an intense power flowing through his weapon before he was blond away along with his spear. When he stood up and stabilized himself, he discovered that he had been tossed off the stage by Li Yunmu.
The entire venue went silent. At that moment, Li Yunmu breathed a sigh of relief.
That was because not long ago, he had finally seen the elder of the Origin God Sect who hadn’t expressed anything until then finally raise his name flag after some hesitation.
Even when Li Yunmu had shown so much, the old man hadn’t made his decision easily. Who knew what sort of qualifications did his Origin God Sect have when looking for disciples that he had to think so long about it.
If Li Yunmu hadn’t displayed his Cross Cover Armor, revealing the clear black patterns, then probably that elder of Origin God Sect still wouldn’t have considered him.
Only then did Li Yunmu come to understand that the test set by Underground Serpent to accept him as member wasn’t as simple as it had seemed.
Although being recruited by a second tier sect was difficult for ordinary disciples, but for Li Yunmu, it wasn’t much of a problem. However, he had been mistaken. Although Origin God Sect was a second tier sect, Underground Serpent was spying on it. The latter was one of the top class first tier powers, so how could the deal be so simple?
Fortunately, Li Yunmu had still obtained the acknowledgment of the elder. Thus, the mission assigned to him could be considered completed. He had smoothly passed the entrance exam of Underground Serpent and had successfully become a silver ranked member of the organization.
On top of that, what concerned his main aim, more than half of it had been achieved as well. He had already obtained the method to cultivate two of the three final flux points.
After successfully becoming a disciple of a second tier power, he would immediately obtain the method to cultivate the one hundred and sixth flux point. After successfully becoming a member of Underground Serpent, he would naturally also obtain another flux point.
As long as he successfully became a core disciple of Origin God Sect, he could obtain the cultivation method of the final flux point. Besides that, if he upgraded to become a gold ranked member of Underground Serpent, he could obtain the final flux point in this way too.
After figuring everything out, Li Yunmu was greatly exalted. He didn’t pay any attention to the tier jumping battle of Profound South Sect, and after another day, the inner sect battles were finished.
Li Yunmu successfully obtained the thirty thousand contribution points delivered to him by a person from the sect. After that, the sect master specifically invited him to take a trip through Profound South Sect so he could learn to which second tier sect he wanted to go.
After a careful observation, Li Yunmu could make out that nineteen second tier sects had arrived that day. Apart from the six resembling Flying Snow Mountain Sect which had special regulations for recruitment like only accepting women, the other thirteen sects had surprisingly invited him to join them.
Li Yunmu chose Origin God Sect without any hesitation, shocking the master of Profound South Sect .
“Qingyang, there are thirteen second tier sects here, so why did you choose Origin God Sect?”
The sect master’s expression sunk. From that, it was obvious that he wasn’t happy with Li Yunmu’s choice.
“Sect master, could it be that there’s some problem with this Origin God Sect?”
Li Yunmu naturally wouldn’t say so, but he had no plan to change his choice because of Profound South Sect not liking his decision.
