Stealing the female lead's favor turns her from a heartthrob to a universally disliked figure.

Elder Wu seemed to have just come to his senses. He turned to look at everyone and said with a solemn expression, "There is no spiritual energy fluctuation in this place. We may be trapped."

At this moment, the Spirit Array Peak Master also came over, his face serious. "I sensed it. It's a trapping array. And it seems to be the legendary Mortal Transformation Trapping Array. My cultivation has been suppressed."

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly checked their own condition.

Li Qingqing also quickly tried to use her water spirit, and after discovering that the spiritual energy in her body seemed to be sealed by an invisible force, she felt terrible.

"I can't open my storage ring; it seems to be sealed too," a disciple from Spirit Chef Peak exclaimed.

"I can't open my storage ring either," someone else wailed.

Li Qingqing was startled and quickly glanced at the spatial ring on her hand.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she discovered that the dual-space storage ring given by the strongest master-disciple system was working properly.

She glanced again at the storage ring the sect leader had given her for storing supplies. Hmm? This storage ring was sealed and couldn't be used normally.

She then looked at the Changling Sacred Spring space...

Fortunately, the Changling Sacred Spring space can still draw water normally.

"Isn't the Mortal Transformation Formation only triggered when a cultivator is about to undergo tribulation, and only if they communicate with the Heavenly Dao? Who could be about to undergo tribulation?" The peak master of the Spirit Weapon Peak looked frustrated.

How unlucky they were to run into the Mortal Transformation Formation.

If they had met any earlier or any later, they might not have been able to run into each other.

"Who can know? Those who are about to undergo tribulation should be in the Hua Ling Sacred Sea, but now the Mortal Transformation Trapping Array is here. It's clearly trying to intercept those leaving the Divine Ruins and use our power to resist the tribulation lightning and ascend. If they succeed in ascending, that's fine, but if they fail, we don't know how long we'll be trapped here." The Spirit Array Peak Master was furious.

If this happened to someone else, he would just listen and laugh it off, but since he was the one who was unlucky, he couldn't stay calm.

Li Qingqing was equally unsettled upon hearing this.

Because, in the previous life, at this time, a powerful figure failed to ascend to immortality; that person was Tianhe Venerable of the Eastern Continent Overlord Sect.

If that's the case, wouldn't these people become the pitiful ones who suffer along with others after their ascension fails?

Thinking of this, she whispered to the Spirit Chef Peak Master, "Could we not lend out our spiritual power?"

She had heard of the Transformation and Confinement Formation, but her understanding of it was truly limited.

Although the cultivation level of the Spirit Chef Peak Master is not high, he is actually well-read and has a broad knowledge of various techniques. Although he is not an expert, he knows a lot.

"It's not a question of whether we want to lend it or not. Once we're in this Mortal Transformation Formation, we have no choice. Now we can only hope that they ascend successfully ascension soon, and maybe then we'll receive some Heavenly Dao feedback," sighed the Spirit Chef Peak Master.

Fu Changye sneered upon hearing this, "If he were so confident of ascending, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to activate this Mortal Transformation Trapping Array."

Elder Wu nodded, agreeing with Fu Changye's words, "Using the Mortal Transformation Formation, although it provides assistance, also incurs greater karmic consequences. The result is that if one fails to ascend, one's soul and spirit will be annihilated."

"Is it because they're going all out that they chose to intercept someone who could return alive from the Land of Divine Ruins?" The Spirit Chef Peak Master actually thought this person was very clever, but also ruthless.

Li Qingqing didn't reply. She felt that this time might be different from her previous life because Fu Changye was trapped in the Mortal Transformation Formation!

Elder Wu is also a powerful expert at the second level of the Nascent Soul realm.

Furthermore, it's possible that the Pavilion Master of Yihai Pavilion and the others have also been trapped inside.

Just then, a group of people walked towards them from a distance. Coincidentally, the person walking in the middle was the Pavilion Master of Yi Hai Pavilion.

They were equally shocked when they saw the people from the Nine Spirits Sect.

Just as everyone was greeting each other and chatting, Bai Xiangling's sharp inner voice suddenly rang out.

【Aaaaaaah! You said that old man needs at least three more months to overcome his tribulation? Does that mean I'll be stuck here for three months?!】

Li Qingqing was stunned for a moment. Does it take three months to overcome the tribulation?

Bai Xiangling's system knows so much!

By the way, do you know about her strongest master-disciple system?

Just as she was thinking this, she heard a system notification.

[The Strongest Master-Disciple System doesn't care whether others ascend or not. However, if someone successfully ascends and receives divine favor, the host will definitely possess more advantages than others.]

Li Qingqing immediately understood that the reason why she and her disciples were so lucky in the Divine Ruins might also be due to the luck boost from the strongest master-disciple system.

"How did you play the Dream Entry Song from the Nine Volumes of Huayin, Master of Lingqin Peak?" The Pavilion Master of Yihai Pavilion suddenly looked at Li Qingqing and asked with anticipation in his eyes.

Li Qingqing was taken aback for a moment. She glanced at Elder Wu before answering, "Of the nine volumes of Huayin, I have only studied the first seven volumes so far. I haven't yet touched on the Dream Song."

The Pavilion Master of Yi Hai Pavilion was slightly disappointed. "The Mortal Transformation Formation isn't actually unbreakable. Playing the Dream Melody to its fullest extent can interfere with the person who triggered the formation, and then I'll have a way to break it. What a pity!"

Upon hearing this, the Spirit Chef Peak Master immediately looked at Fu Changye, "What did the Spirit Healer Peak Master say?"

Throughout the entire Nine Spirits Sect, apart from Yunyan, Fu Changye is the best at playing the Nine Scrolls of Huayin.

The Pavilion Master of Yi Hai Pavilion then looked at Fu Changye and said with a half-smile, "I'm afraid the Spirit Doctor Peak Master can't capture the essence and spirit of the Dream Melody!"

Fu Changye's face was gloomy, and he spoke to the Pavilion Master of Yihai Pavilion in the same unfriendly tone: "Indeed, I am not good enough. Qin music has never been my main focus."

The Pavilion Master of Yi Hai Pavilion raised an eyebrow slightly, then turned to look at Li Qingqing, "Little girl, I see that you have great talent. Why don't you start learning the Dream Entry Melody now? The Dream Entry Melody is very effective even without the aid of spiritual energy."

Li Qingqing sighed softly, "Sect Master, you may not know this, but after my master had an accident in the Guihai Secret Realm, the score of the Nine Volumes of Huayin also disappeared with her, and I can no longer practice the Dream Entry Song. In fact, not only the Dream Entry Song, but also the Soul Entry Song and the Annihilation Divine Song, I have never learned them."

Upon hearing this, the Pavilion Master of Yi Hai Pavilion looked at Fu Changye again, "Peak Master Lingqin has no sheet music and cannot learn it. Although you are not good at playing, you know the Dream Melody, right? Why don't you teach her? It would be a mutually beneficial thing."

Fu Changye refused without even thinking, "I can't teach her. The Dream Melody of Huayin is not as simple as you think. Without the guidance of the spirit of the zither and the original score, she won't be able to learn it in a short time. Doesn't your Yihai Pavilion have the Great Dao Breaking Sound Technique? Why don't you teach her that?"

Li Qingqing remained silent after hearing this, her expression calm.

She didn't believe that Fu Changye was genuinely trying to speak up for her.

The Great Dao Sound Breaking Technique is a superior technique of the Yi Hai Pavilion. It can be said to be one of the few techniques that can restrain the Hua Yin Nine Scrolls. Therefore, her master, Yun Yan, often told them to avoid the people of the Yi Hai Pavilion when they were training in the secret realm.

Since it's a secret technique that their sect doesn't pass on, why would they teach it to an outsider like her?

Fu Changye deliberately provoked the Pavilion Master of Yihai Pavilion, using her as a pawn.

The Pavilion Master of Yi Hai Pavilion also understood this point. Others thought he wouldn't teach Li Qingqing, but he insisted on proving Fu Changye wrong.
