Chapter 6 Heaven's Favor
Just when everyone thought they would be bruised and battered, the air inside the spirit boat suddenly turned into a soft, viscous liquid, making them feel as if they had fallen into a mud pit.
There was no pain at all; my whole body was enveloped in a soft touch, as if I were in my mother's womb.
"This is an anti-collision design that comes standard with mid-grade or higher spirit boats, so everyone can rest assured," said Feather Fan.
She then activated the spirit boat's defense system, and a screen-like image appeared before her. The image showed several cultivators flying on swords, wielding weapons and surrounding the spirit boat.
"Those inside! If you know what's good for you, come out and hand over the spirit boat with both hands, or we won't be polite!" the leader shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a slight stinging pain in his calves. When he looked down, he found that his legs had been wrapped up like dumplings by countless vines.
Looking at his other companions, they were all similar to him.
He panicked at first, then swept his senses across the area and burst into a ferocious laugh: "Haha! To use such a low-level spiritual plant as a means of attack is utterly laughable!"
But the next second, he heard a soft shout: "Explode!"
Then they saw the vines that were wrapping around them burst open at the same time, splashing dark green sap all over them.
"That's it? Just a tickle? Hahahaha!" His companions also burst into laughter.
Before the robbers' laughter had even subsided, Ah Chen had already created a mental prison, trapping them all inside.
The leader of the robbers panicked: "Releasing divine sense and even forming a physical form? This is something only those at the Spirit Realm or above can do!"
He raised his hand to try to break free, but found that his arm seemed to have become stiff and unresponsive.
He tried to lift his foot again, but found that he couldn't lift it either, so he panicked.
He barely managed to take out a communication talisman from his storage ring: "Sir, didn't you say that these people are all low-level martial artists?"
But they not only have poison cultivators who have made contracts with poisonous spiritual plants, but also cultivators at the Spirit Realm or above who can condense their divine sense into physical form!
We're not taking this order. You need to come over quickly and explain the misunderstanding, otherwise we'll be mistaken for real robbers and killed!
"What?!" Jin Liu exclaimed in shock.
Manager Feng clearly stated that apart from Madam Zuo, who is a low-level spiritual cultivator, the rest of this group are all low-level martial artists. How has the situation changed?
But now that things have come to this, we can't just let it go. If those rogue cultivators who hired them to impersonate robbers are caught and reveal that he is the mastermind, we'll be in big trouble.
Helpless, Jin Liu could only waste a teleportation talisman to catch up with the spirit boat, and then throw out a smoke and cloud talisman to obscure the view.
It took a lot of effort to drag the mental prison, along with the people trapped inside, away.
After Jin Liu, panting heavily, brought the group of people back to the spirit boat hidden in the clouds in Jin Ding, he found that the group of people were completely paralyzed and could not even move their eyes.
"It's not poisonous, it just causes numbness. I expect it will recover completely after a few hours when the effects wear off," Jin Ding said after examining the device.
"But why hasn't this cage disappeared yet? I think it was clearly formed with divine sense. Shouldn't such a thing automatically disappear when it's more than ten feet away from its owner?" Jin Liu asked, puzzled.
"How about I try to shatter it with my sword intent?" Jin Ding said.
"No, no, no! Boss, if you unleash that sword intent, those guys will probably be torn to pieces!" Jin Liu hurriedly stopped him.
"Forget it, let's just wait. Anyway, their paralysis won't go away anytime soon," Jin Ding said.
"Why don't you send a message back to Steward Feng and ask him what their cultivation levels are? Could it be that one of them is hiding their cultivation level?" Jin Liu said.
"If that's the case, even Steward Feng probably doesn't know. It seems your terrible idea won't work. We'll just have to find another opportunity to get close to them," Jin Ding said disdainfully.
"Boss, I was wrong. I'll find a way to approach them when they stop to rest." After saying that, Jin Liu changed into a set of brocade youth clothes, and his whole demeanor changed instantly.
He smiled brightly at Jin Ding, looking like a harmless, sunny boy next door, an appearance that greatly reduced people's wariness towards him.
"Haha, it has to be you, brilliant!" Jin Ding praised.
Given Jin Liu's appearance, none of the Twelve Golden Armor Guards had escaped his deception, and they all willingly fell for it.
However, Jin Liu only ever played small tricks on his own people and would never go too far in cheating them. He was only ruthless to outsiders, selling them out and then having them count the money for him.
At the same time, everyone inside the spirit boat looked at the empty space in front of it after the smoke cleared, and they were all somewhat bewildered.
"I didn't expect these robbers to have a backup plan. They're really hard to guard against," Bo Yiyan said, frowning.
"Uncle Bo, don't worry. I've tampered with that mental cage. When they break free of my restraints, I'll mark everyone."
"Next time we run into them, we'll definitely catch them," Ah Chen said with a grin.
"Wow, Chenchen! You're getting more and more cunning!" Bo praised.
"It seems the cultivators here aren't as powerful as we imagined," Xiao Ran concluded.
This time, neither he, Madam Xuan, nor Xiaobai made a move, because they were unsure just how powerful the opponent's methods were, so none of their strongest fighters took action.
In this way, even if everyone is captured, there is still a chance of escape.
If you play all your cards at once, it will be difficult to find a chance to escape later.
As it turned out, their opponents were much weaker than they had imagined!
Yu Shan said, "I originally thought that since we all come from outer realms, our supernatural abilities would be suppressed by the Heavenly Dao of this world. I didn't expect that we were not affected at all. It turns out that I underestimated our combat power."
She remembered that five hundred years ago, if martial artists from the lower realm wanted to enter the Misty Heaven Realm, they had to have a cultivation level that exceeded what the lower realm could bear. Only then would they be qualified to step into the ascending passage connecting the lower realm to the upper realm and enter the Marrow Cleansing Pool prepared for them in the Misty Heaven Realm.
The Marrow Cleansing Pool is rich in spiritual energy, which can wash away impurities from their bodies, allowing them to improve their cultivation and better adapt to the new world.
Those low-level martial artists who smuggled themselves from the lower realm through illegitimate means, because they had not been immersed in the Marrow Cleansing Pool of the Misty Heavenly Realm, their cultivation was more or less suppressed by the Heavenly Dao of this realm, making it difficult for them to move forward in this realm.
Five hundred years later, has Heaven actually turned a blind eye to illegal immigrants?
What Yu Shan didn't know was that Heaven didn't make an exception for all illegal immigrants, but only extended leniency to their group.
Because she carries within her the light of salvation for this world, in the eyes of Heaven, she is like a moving ball of light. Anyone who comes into contact with her aura will receive some degree of favor from Heaven.
Moreover, Ah Chen himself has the bloodline of the Holy Witch Clan, so he can be considered a local native, and he has also contracted a divine beast.
How could Heaven not take special care of such a chosen one?
