Chapter 1261 – Sprite vs Formation Seal Cultivator

Changes in terms(my bad): Demon Realm -> Devil Realm(Mo), Beast Realm -> Demon Realm(Yao), Elves -> Sprites, still reading forward to see if Spirit Race = Elves . No precise description given yet .

Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Ma Rulong frowned and said, “So I’m right . If this is the case, then a Sect will certainly lose out . One of them will lose and they will have a lower ranking in the tournament . Isn’t that bad for them?”

Zhao Hai sneered and said, “Not necessarily . As long as they reach an agreement, these Sects can divide the spoils among themselves . This is so that they can suppress the other realms to the bottom of the rankings . In the end, wouldn’t they still benefit?”

Ma Rulong stayed quiet . This was because he knew that Zhao Hai was right . Cultivators normally fought with each other, but when faced with the other realms, they would unite .

At this time, the two people in the arena had finished their spar . The loser was defeated by just a small margin . The person who lost had a sad expression while glee was seen on the face of the winner . No magic artifacts were sent out, nor were there any pills used . There weren’t even paper talismans or other consumable items . The battle was as simple as it can be .

It was at this time that everyone else had the same idea as Ma Rulong – these Cultivators were just acting out a play . The other realms couldn’t help but get angry, but they couldn’t do anything since the Cultivation Realm didn’t break any rules . In fact, even if the Cultivators don’t act and one of them just forfeited, it would still be fine . This play was done just to give others face .

Many people couldn’t help but curse deep inside . However, they didn’t protest since they knew that it was useless . In their eyes, what the Cultivators were doing was much more shameless than the withdrawal of the Machine Field’s participants .

The people from the other realms initially thought that it was the Machine Field that was being shameless . Besides Zhao Hai, the other five participants didn’t have any intention to fight at all . They were able to get a lot of bugs because Zhao Hai gave it to them . And after they got on the top rankings, they forfeited immediately . Although they only got the final five places, there were still rich rewards waiting for them . Also, these rewards were pre-arranged before the competition began so nobody can change it . These rewards were rich enough to live luxuriously . And because they couldn’t say anything about the Machine Field’s action, they see them as shameless .

However, the Machine Field didn’t violate any rule . The insects were obtained by them from the bugs underground . They followed everything . Moreover, the elimination round allowed teaming up and the division of spoils .  

The Cultivation Realm and the Machine Field exploited the loopholes in the competition’s rules . Nobody could say anything and they just had to accept it .

At this time, the drawing of the second battle had ended . The participants were still Cultivators . And after the two put up a small fight, they left the arena . They merely made a few moves .

This went on until the tenth battle . This was where a true battle will happen . One side was a Cultivator while the other was a Sprite .

Sprites in the World of Cultivation were different compared to Elves in the lower realms . Once Elves in the lower realms ascend, they can at most look like someone from the Spirit Realm . The World of Cultivation’s Sprites weren’t humanoid . Instead they were their own special race . They resembled Cai’er and were no taller than a person’s arm . They had winged backs and were very small . Each one of them looked like dolls . [1]

However, if you treat them like dolls, then you will suffer immensely . These people weren’t dolls, they were gods of slaughter .

Sprite attacks had their own special characteristics . They can communicate with a lot of things and use them to attack . This was also the origin of the name Sprites . [2]

The Sprites’ ability to communicate didn’t only limit them to living things, this also includes the air, rocks, and all visible and invisible things .

This was an inherent skill of the Sprites that no other race had . However, since they also control ascending points, all Ascenders in the Sprite Realm can be part of the Sprite Race . Although their cultivation method is different from Sprites in the lower realms, as long as they were the same race, they all had this skill . [3]

Although it might seem like other races have the same skill as the Sprites, like humans that can control metal, this metal manipulation was on a very ordinary level .

The skill of the Sprites is much more powerful than simple metal manipulation . Not only could they manipulate metal, they could breathe life into it . They can also instill intelligence on the material . This was what made the Sprites terrifying .

Zhao Hai was already aware of the Sprite Race’s abilities even before seeing one of them . However, he has yet to see one fight . Their battle style would certainly enlarge his insight .

When the Sprite  and the Cultivator got on the arena, they gave each other a salute . Then the two didn’t speak . Zhao Hai then saw the Sprite waving its hand as a transparent humanoid appeared in front of it .

Right, it was transparent, completely clear . Only through spiritual force could this humanoid’s presence be felt . Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to see it .

Zhao Hai stared for a moment . This was because he could feel the invisible being absorbing the surrounding energy . And within a very short time, the invisible being was able to reach Foundation Establishment-level strength . Then it slowly stopped absorbing energy .

This was the first time that Zhao Hai was able to see a technique like this . It’s quite strange . It was one of those odd things that made Zhao Hai curious . Now, he wants to see how strong this being was during a fight .

On the other hand, the Cultivator took out his items . What Zhao Hai felt strange was the items that the Cultivator took out were jade charms .

Right, jade charms, a complete set of 9 jade charms . One big charm and eight small ones . The Cultivator held the big jade charm in his hand while the other eight were rotating around it .

It didn’t take long before the two sides began fighting . Zhao Hai was now aware of the strength of the invisible being . This being was actually able to control an invisible type of energy akin to air but not really air . Moreover, not only could this invisible being control energy, it can also turn it into various shapes to attack its enemy . In this regard, it was akin to Zhao Hai’s Liquid Silver .

At the same time, the jade charms of the Cultivator were clearly not ordinary . The eight smaller charms contain eight different kinds of energy . These energies were respectively, heaven, ground, fire, thunder, wind, water, mountain, lake .

On the other hand, the large jade charm operates the other eight . This was the center of the eight charms forming the eight trigrams . In the middle was the Cultivator that controlled them all .

Seeing the Cultivator’s methods, Zhao Hai understood that this was a Formation Seal Cultivator . He should have come from the Cultivation Realm’s Sealing School .

The Sealing School had the same uniqueness as Sword Schools . They were a special school in the Cultivation Realm . Sword Cultivators treat the sword as their life partner and specially nurture it to grow . There might be some special Sects that might have other means to use a sword, but they were swords nonetheless .

As for the Sealing School, just like its name suggests, specialize in seals . They make sealing talismans and then use them as weapons . They take sealing talismans as their specialty, it’s the area in which the Sect researched much of .

Among these Sealing Schools were special kinds of people . These were Formation Seal Cultivators . These Cultivators specialize in making formation charms first and talismans second . They assemble formations into their charms in order to fight their enemy . The combination of the sealing charms and formations makes them strong in the battlefield .

There was a fierce struggle between two evenly matched opponents . Both sides were formidable in their own right . Zhao Hai discovered that the Sprite was still somewhat controlling the invisible being after summoning it . Although the being had some sort of wisdom, it was still the Sprite’s weapon . It was just like artifact spirits of Cultivators .

Moreover, Zhao Hai could see that Sprites were a difficult race to deal with . Their attacks also have special characteristics . Besides the Sprite’s transparent summon, once in a while two stone golems would come out and attack the Cultivator . These stone golems were also quite strong . This fighting style expanded Zhao Hai’s vision once more .

It was at this point that Zhao Hai discovered that no race in the World of Cultivation was easy to deal with . Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to keep their own territories . This explains why Cultivators were still wary of them .

The Formation Seal Cultivator’s methods were also uncommon . Besides the eight trigrams jade charm, he also had a lot of magical artifacts in use . Naturally, the majority of it were jade charms while some were talismans . Moreover, each item had great might .

After seeing the Formation Seal Cultivator making moves, Zhao Hai began to have some general understanding about their methods . These charms weren’t consumable goods, instead only low-level talismans were single-use . Higher-level talismans and charms require high-level materials to be used . Single-use talismans that were powerful were very rare .

At the same time, Zhao Hai could also see into the methods of the Sprites . Although they can communicate to all kinds of things, they should also have their own attributes . They will choose to communicate with the things that were compatible with them . They would inject wisdom into that certain thing and then cultivate them . It was just like how a Cultivator grows his Life Source Weapon . Instead of themselves, the Sprites Cultivate their summons or familiars . It was just like how Zhao Hai strengthens his Undead . It was just that the methods of the Sprites were much more powerful .
