Darkness descended.
As the weather changed, the night wind also carried a hint of coldness and bone piercing. Even in the room, they could not help but wear thin clothes. They did not dare to feel stuffy like before when they only wore short clothes and shorts.
"Mr. Yuanyu, the road here is a little difficult to walk.”
Natsume, the Earth Imperial Gate, was holding a retro diesel lamp in his hand as he walked in front to dispel the darkness around him. From time to time, he would turn around to remind him.
Yuan followed closely behind Natsume of the Earth Imperial Sect and looked around curiously. There were strange and jagged rocks everywhere. They were exquisitely arranged according to the five elements and yin and yang. It was not difficult to guess that this was a magic array.
If there was no one to lead the way, it was possible that one would be trapped in it and unable to extricate themselves. These seemingly ordinary rocks would probably become sharp weapons that could eliminate intruders in an instant. Even Yuan could not tell the strength of this array just by looking at it from the surface. However, it was still a formation that protected the Battle Strategy. No matter how weak it was, it would not be a problem for it to defend against a national-level Onmyoji. As for the big demon, it was hard to say.
After a while-
Natsume of the Earth Imperial Sect stopped in front of a boulder that six people holding hands would not be able to circle around. He stretched out his finger and drew a rather complicated incantation seal at the center of the boulder. It looked like the emblem of the Earth Imperial Sect, but it did not look like it at a close distance. Instead, it looked like a mixture of some Divine Dao incantations.
"Ajatamasaha…"
After Natsume of the Earth Imperial Sect chanted incantations...
Kacha kacha…
The huge boulder in front of him that weighed dozens of tons actually began to move, as if there was an invisible force pushing it.
In just a few breaths of time…
A flight of stairs that could accommodate three to four people and lead to the underground appeared in front of them.
"Mr. Yuanyu, the ? Decisive Divination ? is stored inside.”
Natsume said as he took the diesel lamp and entered the pitch-black staircase. He then pressed some unknown switch, and the staircase that looked dark from the outside lit up with a dim yellow light.
" This is a barrier?!"
As soon as Yuan stepped onto the stairs, she felt that she had passed through a barrier. Its strength was not inferior to the barrier protecting the Earth Imperial Sect's mansion. The entrance to the huge boulder was the entrance to this barrier.
However, what puzzled him was…
Since there was already a formation outside, why would they need to set up a barrier that was no weaker than the one protecting the Earth Imperial Sect's residence?
This double defense mechanism, in addition to the barrier that had been protecting the Earth Imperial Sect's residence, was a total of three layers.
It looked like it was superfluous.
Of course, it was also possible that the Earth Imperial Sect placed too much importance on the " Decisive Divination ". After all, it was the famous Kui Treasure of the Yin Yang Dao.
Natsume, who was walking in front of the stairs, seemed to be able to sense the doubt in Yuan's eyes. He couldn't help but say,""Mr. Yuanyu, this barrier was not set up by our Earth Defense Sect. You should know that the daily maintenance of such a strategic barrier requires a lot of manpower. It is enough for us to have a barrier that can protect the Earth Defense Sect's residence.”
"Moreover, the Earth Defense Sect is no longer the same as before.”
Yuan nodded, indicating that she understood.
There were many types of barriers.
There was the Seven-pointed Barrier that could be casually cast before, as well as a hybrid barrier that could be used as an attack, restraint, and even control method. One of the Twelve Divine Generals of the Yin Yang Hall, the Barrier Princess Gongxiamali, was quite good at this. Whether it was against enemies or ghosts, she used barriers. She was a difficult woman who played the barrier to a certain level.
In the eyes of ordinary Onmyoji, the most common type of barrier was to protect a certain building, clan, or mansion for a long period of time. It was also the type of barrier that consumed the most energy.
For example, the Yin Yang Hall, Yin Yang School, Earth Defense Sect's mansion…The barriers set up on them were strategic barriers. Their strength was enough to defend against the bombardment of great demons for a short period of time.
The amount of materials and manpower needed to set up a strategic barrier was extremely high. Natsume could tell just by looking at the words of the Earth Defense Sect.
However, Yuan couldn't help but feel curious. The " Strategy of Divination " was stored inside. This was the Kui treasure of the Yin Yang Dao. If it wasn't the Earth Defense Sect who set up the barrier in the Earth Defense Sect's mansion, who else could it be? It couldn't be the Yin Yang Hall, right?!
"As for the origin of this barrier, it's the ? Decisive Divination ? that Mr. Yuanyu is about to borrow.”
Yuan was stunned.
"Are you saying that this strategic barrier is formed by the power of the Strategy of Deciding?!!”
This conclusion was clearly not within his expectations.
"That's right."
Natsume explained as he walked down the stairs,""'Divination 'is not just a book that only allows Onmyoji to gain enlightenment, as the rumors say. The strategic barrier before us is one of its abilities. The reason why Divination cannot be moved is because of this strategic barrier. Moving Divination means moving the entire strategic barrier. The two cannot be separated or released. After all, Divination is usually sealed, so this strategic barrier will not disappear.”
"As for 'A Strategy for Decision', it is indeed more mysterious than I imagined.”
Yuan could not help but become even more interested in it.
"We have arrived, Mr. Yuanyu."
Natsume had already brought Yuanyumo to the end of the underground stairs. A cave the size of three to four football fields appeared in front of them. There were all kinds of plants that were suitable for living in the dark and a flowing underground river. In front of them was a circular altar. On top of it was an ancient book that was bound by heavy chains.
It was the ? Decisive Divination ?!
However, next to the book was Tsuchimon Hiroyuki, who had been waiting for a long time.
"Welcome to this place, Mr. Yuanyu.”
When the Earth Imperial Sect's Kuanying saw that Yuan had arrived, he stood up and greeted her respectfully.
"I've already prepared 'A Strategy for Decision'.”
"Senior Vast Eagle, you're too polite."
Seeing how " enthusiastic " the other party was, Yuan felt a little embarrassed.
