<h4>Chapter 224 - Surrounded</h4>


    A sense of calm passed through Noah’s mind as he experienced the level of strength at the TRANSCENDENT level. Belief in his own power was reinforced as he left the Spiritual Land to give thanks to Sect Master Inuit and start preparing to move after some time nning on how he should approach the dangers of the Treasure Abode of the fallen cultivator.


    There were a few ways, and one of them lied with the sect that was obviously tied to them in name and would be doing everything possible in their power to obtain the treasures of the powerful Devilish Time Unveiler. This was the Time Immemorial Sect situated in Rainbow Spirit Mountain. Noah had a smile as he thought about the arrogant young master he had somehow offended a day back when not putting in the days that passed in the Time Space as his figure shed away, he wanted to see if this little enmity was something that would make the young master do something stupid!


    ---


    In Rainbow Spirit Mountain, even though no conflict was permitted from any parties, those from Time Immemorial Sect still had many eyes spread throughout the mountain to surveil the beings going in and out. This particr day, a disgruntled Young Master Carl had taken the shift of a fellow Inner Disciple to monitor a portion of Rainbow Spirit Mountain as he spread out their eyes to look for two particr individuals that made his face turn red just by thinking about them.


    ’Pill Masters? Hmph, so what. We have many cultivators that can create pills in our sect!’


    His mind continued to fume as he watched for the appearance of the two figures, and his patience finally paid off when a few hourster, the other disciples brought him news about a particr dark-haired that was strolling through the many buildings throughout Rainbow Spirit Mountain.


    "Haha good, follow him! If he steps foot outside this Rainbow Spirit Mountain of mine..."


    Senior Brother Carl had a wrathful expression on his face as he took out a Soul Jade from his storage ring and took a deep breath before sending a message to a Martial Uncle that was one of the very few connections his father held in the sect. There were very few favors he could ask of this Martial Uncle, and teaching a lesson to some arrogant outsider was one of them.


    "Martial Uncle Dan, there’s a small issue that I would love your help on..."


    The message travelled across space as a signal rang out in the Soul Jade that Martial Uncle Dan held while he was finishing a meeting. He heard the message as he shook his head wearily before replying.


    "What is it now, boy? Things are about to get really busy around here, with a lot of us leaving very soon."


    Senior Brother Carl was ecstatic at the reply as he continued.


    "It shouldn’t take too long Martial Uncle. You see, an Otherworlder had..."


    Senior Brother Carl weaved out a story as his Martial Uncle listened with a slight smile, knowing that his nephew was just on another one of his walks when he found another poor soul to pick on. But, he would take care of these insignificant issues of his nephew so that his father never gets to hear of them, there were too many important issues at stake currently. He replied quickly as it seemed his nephew was still continuing to spew out excuses.


    "Alright alright, I get it. Where is he now?"


    An ecstatic smile erupted from Senoir Brother Carl’s face as he heard these words, rapidly replying back.


    "The disciples watching him are currently following him down the mountain, he actually seems to be descending out of the boundaries soon!"


    Senior Brother Carl was ecstatic as he found the arrogant Otherworlder to actually make things perfect for him. They couldn’t cause too much trouble of Rainbow Spirit Mountain, but outside of it? His smile was wide as he sent the coordinates to his Martial Uncle and began moving down the mountain himself.


    He would teach this arrogant Otherworlder what it meant to look down on others today!


    ---


    Noah continued down Rainbow Spirit Mountain as soon as his {Observation} skill picked up the many eyes that focused on him and tracked his every move. The fish had taken the bait, and he moved out to see exactly what actions it would take to decide on whether he strangles it or lets it go.


    He browsed the items on other shops as he continued to descend down the mountain, continuing to watch the peculiarity of the new sights opening themselves up in front of him. After some time, he had gone down until he left the boundaries of Rainbow Spirit Mountain, watching the figures of beings be more and more sparse as he went further down.


    He followed one of the paths where carriages were leaving the mountain, and he did not wait too long before he felt his surroundings change as the scenery of a long road with trees around him disappeared, a new sight opening itself up in front of him. He was now in a field of grasnd as they swiftly moved for miles around him.

    ’This is...a formation?"


    He was surprised at the ingenuity of cultivators as he was ced in something he only had memories of, a powerful formation that only the most proficient Formation Masters of the cultivation world could set up.


    Multiple figures began appearing in the skies of the formation as he recalled the face of a particr Senior Brother and smiled.


    A voice thundered out from all around him at this moment.


    "You have the calm to smile after you are surrounded by my Earthly Revolving Formation that no Transcendent Realm cultivator can break out of without my permission?"


    The voice was confident and strong,ing from someone much more powerful than the Senior Brother that Noah had hoped would take the bait. His smile became even wider as he replied.


    "I wonder what I have done to deserve the attention of someone so powerful?"


    The reply was steady and filled with curiosity, not the tone that Martial Uncle Dan wanted to hear.


    "Hmph, good, we shall see how much longer you continue to remain calm. No sound or aura will be released from this formation, with your livelihood being under my control."


    OONG!


    An overwhelming pressure descended from all around as lines of energy were activated in the formation, forming into an oppressive force that crushed down at Noah’s position.


    Senior Brother Carl and his posse floated behind their Martial Uncle in the bounds of the formation as they looked forward with arrogant faces. Their demeanor showed that this was not something new that the cultivators of the Time Immemorial Sect would do as the Martial Uncle Spoke again.


    "You have offended an Inner Disciple of my sect. You will kneel, apologize, and give all the treasures and pills you have in your belongings."


    The pressure descended all around Noah as it made the area around him tremble, his body that was still only strengthened up to the peak of Phantasmal level with many skills activated straining under the powerful pressure of the Transcendent Realm Formation Master. He grit his teeth as an imperceptible smile appeared on his face and he replied.


    "Or what?"


    There was a period of silence from the cultivators as they looked at this Otherworlder who was struggling to bear just the pressure of the formation yet acting so confidently. The arrogance deep in their bones was tested as Senior Brother Carl was the first to speak out.


    "Or you will face death!"


    His face was showing anger as he observed the smile on the face of the trembling being bing wider and wider. The moment his words thundered out, he felt a change as the smile from the Otherworlder broke out into augh as he seemed to have ascertained something, and the rumbling of essence began to erupt with him at the center.
