When system cheat becomes rampant!

Chapter 563 Blocking the Retreat Route



The golden radiance in the sky intertwined with each other, illuminating the faces of each cultivator, and soon they formed massive chains.

These chains linked one loop to another, each loop tens of meters in length, tightly clinging to the sky as if they had locked the entire heavens.

"Isn't this..."

"The sky is locked? Doesn't that mean the Heaven and Earth Formation of the Land of Inheritance has been reactivated?"

"Then aren't we unable to get out?"

Many cultivators' faces changed drastically upon seeing these enormous chains!

The Land of Inheritance had only just opened less than a day ago, and normally, there would be a month's grace period during the reshaping of this Heaven and Earth Formation. They only needed to leave the Land of Inheritance within a month.

However, nobody anticipated that the chains in the sky of the Land of Inheritance would inexplicably start connecting again less than a day after they had shattered. Once the chains locked the heavens, this area would become sealed, and it wouldn't open again for another fifty years!

All the cultivators panicked, being trapped in the Land of Inheritance and constantly facing the threat of the giant spirits that could lash out at any moment was definitely not a good thing!

At this moment, everyone could no longer concern themselves with the feud between the Panjiao Race and Xiang Beifei; now that this incident had occurred, it was about whether they could leave this place. Many cultivators even contemplated retracing their original route to see if the way out was still untouched, but the thought of encountering the giant spirits again along the way dissuaded them.

Jiao Shkai and Jiao Dihong also took advantage of the chaos among the crowd and slipped away, not wanting to confront Xiang Beifei directly and decided to plan from a long-term perspective.

Xiang Beifei didn't pay attention to them either and instead contemplated the chains in the sky, an eventuality he hadn't foreseen.

"Has this kind of thing happened in the Land of Inheritance before?" Xiang Beifei turned his head and asked Li Qianluo.

Li Qianluo's brows were deeply furrowed, almost twisted into knots, seeming extremely surprised too. She shook her head and said, "There's no such record in the information left by our predecessors. The Land of Inheritance seems to be getting more bizarre by the day, at least, it is not quite what we had imagined."

From the Giant Spirit Village appearing at the beginning to the Black Water River encircling the Desert Stone Cave at Bone Mountain, and now the Heaven and Earth Formation that crumbled a day ago only to reshape immediately... this place seemed as if it had been altered, utterly different from what all the cultivators remembered.

Xiang Beifei looked at the iron chain formation appearing in the sky, and after a long while, he said, "It seems the only way to leave now is to find the inheritance."

Since this was a land of divine inheritance, as long as one received the inheritance and recognition of the so-called gods, there should be a way to leave.

"But the Black Water River is a problem," Li Qianluo muttered.

The mountains with caves across were the Bone Mountain and Desert Stone Cave, where the divine inheritance they all sought surely lay. Yet, the Black Water River blocked everyone; even masters of the Heavenly Connection realm couldn't fly over it, anyone who attempted to cross would plummet directly.

A gloom enveloped all the cultivators for a time.

After the heavens had been sealed, many cultivators wanted to know if they could still leave, their only way out being to return the way they came. However, the Giant Spirit Village was too perilous; no one could guarantee they'd make it safely through the Giant Spirit Village unscathed.

The Demon Tentacle Race's foremost man was the first to volunteer courageously; he relied on his agile skills to traverse the Giant Spirit Village again to search for an exit.

It must be said that the Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage Race was truly formidable. Although they couldn't do much against the giant spirits, they could safely protect themselves.

"We can't get out! The outside is sealed!"

Within just an hour, the foremost man brought back this news.

His words directly extinguished all the hopes of the cultivators.

"Really can't get out? Are you sure you searched all the entrances?" a person of the Qishe Race asked anxiously.

The foremost man coldly glanced at him and said, "If you don't believe it, feel free to check for yourself."

The Qishe Race member could only stay quiet; asking him to brave the Giant Spirit Village again was far too risky.

"It's over, we can't get out, does this mean we have to wait here until the next opening cycle?"

"That's fifty years from now!"

"Damn it! The Desert Stone Cave at Bone Mountain is right there, unable to reach what is within sight. If we could cross the river and find the inheritance, we definitely wouldn't be trapped here."

Many of the Yi Tribe cultivators started pounding their chests and stamping their feet, looking eagerly at the Desert Stone Cave at Bone Mountain, filled with immense impatience.

"Perhaps there's a chance it could be unsealed after a month!"

No one knew who shouted this.

"Right, that's possible. Let's wait another month and see!"

This was their only hope now.

All the cultivators had found places to rest and recover, and no matter what, everyone had to force themselves to calm down and wait for a month.

"Then we can only wait and see,"

Xiang Beifei was not in a hurry either. Since everyone was trapped here, waiting a bit longer didn't matter. However, he continuously kept an eye on both the Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage and the Meat-Winged Monster races, which also seemed to value this place significantly, having each dispatched ten Heavenly Connection experts, showing their profound foundations!

"Woof?" Xiaohei said, rubbing his hands together, wanting to teach these guys a secret lesson.

"Forget it, let's avoid conflict for now," Xiang Beifei shook his head.

The sky was sealed, yet day and night still alternated on time.

Time passed quickly, a whole month, and the chains of the sky still existed glaringly without any signs of fracture. The Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage was quite proactive in this matter; they seemed to be showing off their skills, thus sending the Cleaver-Headed Man out again to gather information.

The Cleaver-Headed Man did not refuse; he crossed the Giant Spirit Village again.

But the news he brought back was still not satisfying.

"It's still sealed," said the Cleaver-Headed Man.

At this, all Yi Tribe cultivators erupted.

Other bold and skilled Yi Tribe cultivators, not believing the situation, risked great danger to secretly cross the Giant Spirit Tribe, but soon he returned disheartened, as he too could not find a way out.

The outside was indeed sealed, and it had become an irrefutable fact that all cultivators were trapped here!

Now, everyone was trapped on the banks of the Blackwater River, having to guard against the Giant Spirit and also prevent being pushed into the Blackwater River by others with grievances. They could neither advance nor retreat, creating a sense of panic.

The area was filled with over a hundred races, each with one or two Heavenly Connection experts leading, and everyone was trying to secure their own position first. It was impossible for the Yi Tribes to get along harmoniously; friction existed between different races before, some even to the death.

Now that everyone was trapped with no way out, everyone was holding back frustration. Sometimes, when encountering a sworn enemy, the slightest provocation could lead to a major conflict.

...

Bang!

A scream came from afar, another Yi Tribe cultivator was thrown into the Blackwater River.

Xiang Beifei slightly lifted his eyelids, merely glanced lightly, then looked away; he had grown accustomed to this.

The same scene had occurred countless times recently, with conflicts erupting sporadically, and life-and-death battles ensuing until one party died.

But these matters had little to do with him; he was just cultivating his own Dao, pondering his matters.

"They are really too idle, still having time to fight to the death," Li Qianluo said, propping up his chin.

"Being trapped here with no way out, if we can't find a way, we might go crazy eventually. Fighting is also a way to relieve boredom," Xiang Beifei said.

"Is that considered relieving boredom? They're losing their lives," Li Qianluo muttered. "By the way, those two guys from the Panjiao Race have been out of sight recently."

Ever since Jiao Yingguang was killed last time, Jiao Shkai and Jiao Dihong had not come to trouble him again, probably because they were unsure of defeating him and now were hiding somewhere.

But just then, someone approached them. Upon closer inspection, it was the Tianmu venerable, Fu Qiuzi.

Fu Qiuzi looked around, and to prevent eavesdropping like last time, he waved his hand to set up a Spiritual Power barrier around him before asking, "Daoist Xiang, Daoist Li, may I ask if you are interested in joining any faction?"

"Faction?" Xiang Beifei looked at Fu Qiuzi puzzled.

"Daoist Xiang doesn't know yet? The situation here has become very subtle; we can't get out, but the place is only so big. Currently, there's heavy fighting over territory," Fu Qiuzi said.

"Fighting over territory? Fighting over such a broken place?" Li Qianluo muttered.

Fu Qiuzi explained, "Where there are races, there will be disputes over territory. No one knows when the seal will be broken. Last time, many races suffered heavy casualties in the Giant Spirit Village, weakening them severely. Now, some races with vendettas are eyeing them, so forming alliances with other races is the best way to protect oneself. Right now, the stronger races have already mustered their forces and started dividing territory."

"So, what are the currently larger forces?" Xiang Beifei asked.

"To my knowledge, there are three forces right now, one led by the Heavenly Dao expert 'Flaming Six Wings' of the Moon God Race, self-proclaimed 'Light Valley.' This force has the most cultivators, with thirty-three races confirmed to have joined them, as Flaming Six Wings is a very powerful, late-stage Heavenly Connection expert with many followers."

Next are the cultivators of the Demon Tentacle Race. The Demon Tentacle Race is not weaker than the Moon God Race; they are strong themselves and have recruited many experts. Currently, thirty-one races have confirmed joining them, self-proclaimed 'Dawn Alliance.'

Lastly, there are the cultivators of the Night Demon Tribe. The Night Demon of the Night Demon Tribe is also a very famous expert. He has also recruited many strong race experts, not weaker than the other two forces. Their force is called 'Heavenly Demon Assembly,' with twenty-eight races as followers, still in contact with the remaining races to absorb them into the assembly."
