Chapter 779: Chapter 436 Exploration
“Senior Jin, you are well-versed in Grotto Heavens. How should we deal with this situation?” Ancestor Lu asked aloud.
Due to the relationship between Ancestor Lu and Elder Sword and the fact that Ancestor Lu, despite being an ancestor of the Demon Sect, maintained good relations with several from both the Righteous Path and Demon Path, the Nascent Soul Ancestors had nominated him to negotiate on their behalf.
After witnessing the vast number of Third-grade Ghost Souls, they agreed to allow Elder Jin Kai and Ancestor Ren Xun to join their battle formation.
After all, Elder Jin Kai’s strength was formidable. With a realm at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, he could match the combined efforts of several Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioners.
Not to mention that Elder Jin Kai had a more extensive knowledge of Grotto Heavens and could provide important advice.
“Although I have some understanding of Grotto Heavens, all such knowledge comes from the collection of the trading house. Each Grotto Heaven is created by a Great Mahayana Ability according to their conception. How can we possibly guess the thoughts of such an able person?” Elder Jin Kai said with a shake of his head and a wry smile.
They discovered one thing: as long as they remained at the entrance, the ghosts would not rush at them. However, as soon as they crossed the boundary of the entrance, the ghosts would swarm madly at them.
What made it worse for them was that once inside, they could not leave through the entrance anymore.
Even the runes Elder Jin Kai possessed for exiting Grotto Heavens proved useless. It seemed as though this Grotto Heaven was a black hole, swallowing everything that entered and not planning to release them.
“So there’s no way out?” Ancestor Lu furrowed his brows and asked.
As Nascent Soul Ancestors, they could survive for centuries within the Grotto Heaven, thanks to the Spiritual Objects they carried. However, being trapped for a long time in such an environment and being unable to cultivate was extremely disadvantageous for them.
Besides, their purpose in entering the Grotto Heaven was to seek treasures, not to be trapped.
“We’ll take turns attacking to see if we can clear out these ghosts,” Elder Jin Kai suggested after some thought.
Although the ghosts were of the Third-grade and their numbers were countless, there were as many as ten Nascent Soul Ancestors present.
With the full force of a Nascent Soul Ancestor, it was possible to annihilate a group of ghosts without a problem.
As long as the other Nascent Soul Ancestors could provide a safe recovery opportunity for those who took action, they could exterminate all of these Third-grade ghosts, no matter how numerous.
“Eh, my Divine Foot Skill is no longer working!” At that moment, Venerable Huike suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
Upon entering the Grotto Heaven, he felt repressed and unsettled. While discussing, he tried to use “A World Within a Single Step” but found that it did not have its usual effect.
“Each Grotto Heaven has its own Heaven and Earth Rules set by the Great Mahayana Ability. This Grotto Heaven restricts the use of most Divine Skills, even flying is limited; that’s why I suggest we clear the area slowly!” Elder Jin Kai explained somberly, not surprised.
His realm was higher than the other Nascent Soul Ancestors, giving him a more comprehensive perception. He was aware of the features of the Grotto Heaven without even having to try.
“Let me take the first action, then we will take turns. After each person acts, immediately recover your Spiritual Power, and keep it at a full state. Do not take this lightly!” he continued.
He offered this reminder because the safety of the eight Nascent Soul Ancestors was of the utmost importance at this stage; they could not afford any accidents.
When he saw the multitude of Third-grade Ghost Souls, he had a very bad feeling about this Grotto Heaven.
“Good, let us form the Formation!” Ancestor Lu nodded in response.
The eight Nascent Soul Ancestors and Ren Xun formed the Nine Palace Formation. While they hailed from different continents, the basics of the Nine Palace Formation were generally the same everywhere.
Nascent Soul Ancestors had incredibly long lifespans, which allowed them to master a vast range of knowledge, including formations which were a necessary part of their studies.
Once the Nine Palace Formation was set, Elder Jin Kai didn’t fly but instead stepped on the ground and moved beyond the range of the entrance.
The wandering Third-grade ghosts, like sharks sensing blood, flew towards Elder Jin Kai.
“Vanish!” Elder Jin Kai uttered softly as he struck with his palm, and in the air, his hand transformed into a huge Dharma Manifestation of a palm.
This was a partial manifestation technique of the Dharma Manifestation, a method of combat that involved using his true fighting power without holding much back.
The fighting power of a Nascent Soul Cultivator was primarily manifested in the Nascent Soul.
Before forming the Dharma Manifestation, the Nascent Soul was extremely fragile and needed protection from the body. Once the Dharma Manifestation was formed, the body became the fragile part, and the Nascent Soul Dharma Form protected it in turn.
However, in routine low-level combat, Nascent Soul Cultivators would use this partial manifestation technique of the Dharma Form. It was relatively powerful while also being less costly.
Wherever the huge palm Dharma Form passed, the Third-grade ghosts wailed and dissipated.
With one strike, Elder Jin Kai cleared all the Third-grade ghosts within fifty meters. After his attack, he retreated and reentered the Nine Palace Formation.

Ancestor Lu, without any hesitation, opened a node of the Nine Palace Formation and allowed Elder Jin Kai to stand on that node, maintaining the normal operation of the formation.
He himself flew out of the Nine Palace Formation, and the formation, following his advance, moved forward thirty meters behind him.
The area was cleared of Third-grade ghosts and new ones had yet to replenish the ranks, a brief respite.
Ancestor Lu took a deep breath and also used the partial manifestation technique of the Dharma Form, slapping his palm forward.
The giant palm of Dharma Form flew out, its terrifying power killing all of the Third-grade ghosts within a twenty-meter radius.
