Chapter 62: Jiuli Formation, Qingping Sword Aura

  As soon as the golden light emerged, the sky was filled with dark clouds rolling in like an overturned ink container. On the ground, cracks appeared at the location of the primordial bell, and these cracks quickly spread apart, forming deep chasms that seemed to be bottomless.

  In the depths of the gorge, it was pitch black, with layer upon layer of water vapor churning upwards. The ancient imperial mountain suddenly shook violently, and then a mighty torrent burst forth, shooting up hundreds of feet high before finally falling back down.

  Chi You and others saw the heavens and earth move, thinking that the treasure was about to emerge, and they rushed towards the top of Gu Huang Mountain like madmen. Jun Moli Ming Wang walked alone, seeing a golden light flashing out from within Gu Huang Mountain, shouting "Amitabha" as he followed the golden light and left. It turned out that Ji Doudao Ren had been fighting in the darkness earlier, on the verge of defeat, when he heard the sound of a bell ringing, and suddenly saw a burst of light from all sides, and the strange creatures disappeared without a trace.

  Zhang Di Xin and Wu Feng exchanged a glance, naturally knowing that the Hunyuan Bell had appeared. The ancient emperor's mountain was likely to be difficult to last long, so he rushed outwards. Nanji Xianweng was outside, naturally seeing the strange scene in the ancient emperor's mountain, raised an eyebrow and smiled: "This time in the secret realm, I don't know which Taoist friend is so lucky, got this treasure."

  The Holy Mother was just watching with a cold eye, feeling uneasy in her heart, and didn't know how her two disciples, Yu Mian and Pan Si, were doing. Before going to Gu Huang Mountain, the Holy Mother repeatedly instructed them that this trip was only for sightseeing, and if they had good fortune, they would obtain the treasure; otherwise, they would give up. Because everyone knew that Gu Huang Mountain was just the beginning of the treasure hunt, ordinary immortals could only become sacrifices, while the heavenly treasures were already being waited for by a group of profound immortals who had been waiting for a long time.

  Suddenly, a red light burst out from the ancient imperial mountain, and the military commander Li Ming Wang rushed to chase after it. Seeing the crowd in front of him, he shouted loudly: "This person has obtained the ultimate treasure, fellow Taoists stop this person!"

  Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately rose up to intercept. The red light was extremely fast and didn't dodge, directly passing through the crowd. Some people hadn't even reacted yet when they were already struck by the red light from behind!

  What a speed! Even if the Holy Mother didn't know that person's cultivation, just by their speed, she knew that this person's cultivation was extraordinary. In her heart, she couldn't help but calculate, among the three teachings, those who had become famous Golden Immortals and Mystic Immortals were all familiar to her, yet this person was extremely strange, as if they had never met before.

  "Won't be long, my friend, I'll be right back!" The Southern Pole Immortal was anxious to a extreme degree, let out a loud shout, and transformed into a rainbow, chasing after the red light. Although the Chaotic Mother had intentionally let them go, she couldn't help but worry about her two disciples in her heart, so she suppressed her feelings and quietly waited where she was.

  "The way... the way of good friends cultivating together... it's like this... such a treasure, but also no need to rush." Jun Li Ming Wang panted heavily as he rested beside them, "That thing is not destined for me, a poor monk. Amitabha."

  The Holy Mother knew that Jun Dali was not pursuing, nor could she directly expose him, so she nodded and turned her gaze to Gu Huang Mountain. In an instant, half of Gu Huang Mountain had become like the sea, with thick smoke billowing out from the mountain mouth. A white light suddenly burst forth: "Jun Dali, have you obtained the treasure?"

  "Amitabha, I'm afraid I don't have enough good karma to be able to see this treasure." Jun Turu Ming Wang shook his head and said, looking at that person, "How did you, Ji Doutu Daoist friend, end up so wretched?"

  Everyone heard that it was easy to get the treasure, but others still had a chance to snatch it. He himself entered the ancient emperor mountain, except for killing monsters, nothing else was done. How could he be ashamed: "I see that the treasure has not left yet, we only need to wait quietly here, if there is an opportunity, we can get the treasure."

  "How did you know this, fellow Taoist?" King Lieming thought to himself that he couldn't possibly have any suspicions about the treasure, but as soon as he heard this, his spirit lifted. He calculated that since the fellow Taoist saw no one else around, he hesitated for a moment before pulling King Lieming aside: "This is a secret method of the Heavenly Court, I can tell you, but there's one thing - you must promise me something."

  "This... " Jun Li Ming Wang's heart was filled with precious thoughts, yet he didn't want to make things too difficult, and couldn't help but hesitate. Suddenly, Ji Dou Dao friend smiled and said: "This matter doesn't require the king to say much, just nod your head in agreement, if it's beneficial, Heaven will naturally not forget the kindness of a friend."

  " Fellow Taoist, do you know what this is about?" Jun Tuli Ming Wang still couldn't put his mind at ease. He thought that since the Taoist had seen this, he would take out a crystal ball, and inside it was an unconscious woman: "Earlier, I saw Brother Tengshe being surrounded and attacked, so I rescued her. If you agree, Fellow Taoist, I will hand her over to Ming Wang."

  How did the Teng Snake fall into this person's hands? Jun Li Ming Wang saw it and didn't bat an eyelid. This time, when he came east, the Master only said that there was a destined person in the Western Pass, but he didn't expect that the destined person hadn't arrived yet, and first took away the Teng Snake. He then opened his mouth and said: "It's like this... forget it, everything will be arranged by Count Du."

  Ji Du Dao raised an eyebrow and handed the crystal ball to Jun De Li Ming Wang, thinking that this temptation would be hard for him to resist. Having given him benefits and also shown him kindness, he looked at the Holy Mother who was walking slowly towards them: "Can Ji Du Dao see the shadow of his little disciple?"

  "This...” everyone said, upon hearing the question from the Holy Mother, felt joy in their hearts and secretly thought: "The Holy Mother is indeed wise, asking this question will save me a lot of trouble." With a sorrowful expression on his face, he said: “Holy Mother, it's a sad thing to say... Yu Mian Daoist friend and Pan Si Daoist friend... both were harmed by evil people in the ancient imperial domain!"

  "Who dares to be so bold and harm my Jade Void Sect disciples!" Wu Dang Sheng Mu heard this and became angry. Jun Chu Li Ming Wang did not expect the Daoist to speak in such a manner, wanting to open his mouth, but thinking of the previous agreement, he pretended to be unaware, standing aside, not speaking.

  "That person is too powerful, I'd rather not provoke him..." Ji Doudao's face showed a hint of reluctance, and after a long moment of contemplation, he spoke again, "That person is not from the Three Religions, but...but is a descendant of the Upper Realm, not someone to be trifled with. As a mere heavenly being, I'd rather not say more. The outcome will depend on you, fellow Daoist."

  "Bastard! What a wonderful witchcraft!" The Holy Mother was furious, and just at this moment, there was a loud explosion in the ancient imperial mountain. A mushroom cloud shot up into the sky, turning it red by three points. Heat waves mixed with smoke and dust rolled out, and two figures burst out from within - Zhang Emperor Xin and Wu Feng!

  Two men came out, and everyone's fingers began to tremble violently, emitting a yellow glow that flashed in all directions. The crowd took it all in, but when the Holy Mother saw Wu Feng arrive, she stood up and scolded: "Wu Feng, you rascal, do you know where Xiaotu has gone?"

  "Last time, I got separated from you in the ancient imperial domain and didn't know where you went." Wu Feng replied, just as Ji Du Dao Ren ordered the crowd of immortals to surround him, pointing at him: "The treasure is actually in Wu Feng's hands!"

  Wufeng only listened, thinking that even the Holy Mother had come to snatch away the treasure, and didn't care about speaking, got up and left. The crowd of immortals saw him flee, how could they let go, and chased after him. As the saying goes, "the city gate catches fire and the fish in the moat are affected", Zhang Emperor naturally couldn't escape being chased, even if he wanted to find another way out, there was no gap at all.

  Zhang Di Xin's Xian cultivation was merely average, and even with Wu Feng's help, his true Xian cultivation couldn't withstand the pursuit of the many Xians. If it weren't for the Heart Nian Treasure, the two would have been beaten to a pulp by the numerous magical artifacts long ago!

  "Wu Feng, Gui Guzi, how can the two of you possibly defeat a multitude of immortals? If you don't want to lose your lives, then hand over the treasure!" Ji Dou Dao Ren scolded, raising a finger bone in his hand. "Hand over the treasure, and I might spare your lives out of consideration for our past relationship."

  "Ji Du Dao Ren, how can you not say that the treasure is on your body!" Zhang Emperor Xin didn't know what the broken finger bone was, and he opened his mouth to speak. On this side, Wu Feng coldly said: "This treasure also belongs to my demon clan, taking it now is just returning it to its original owner, how can you steal it?"

  "You dare to defy me, you shall pay with your life!" The Holy Mother's heart was filled with hatred, and she wouldn't wait for Wu Feng to finish speaking. Before anyone could make a move, a white light burst forth from her hand, its aura extremely heavy. The light swirled in the air, coalescing into a massive sword that descended straight down!

  The multitude of immortals saw the Saintly Mother take action, and how could they still hesitate? They immediately presented their magical treasures, and in an instant, various colors of light flashed, flames overflowing like a deluge, filling the entire sky!

  "You think that as a member of the three schools, I, a witch, am easy to bully?!" Wu Feng shouted loudly, and suddenly saw four directions and eight paths of dark blue light rising up, with the leaders being Jiuli Island's Feng Yun, Lei Di and others!

  Eight people came out, Wu Feng quickly held Zhang Di Xin behind him. In an instant, the sky turned dark and all the colorful scenes disappeared. At the same time, in the sky, wind, rain, thunder, lightning, fire, and rocks poured down like a flood, crazily falling from all directions. The people around thought they had taken the initiative and didn't intend to defend themselves. In an instant, they were swept away by the flood of objects and didn't know where they went.

  Wu Feng's followers, Wu Lei and Wu Dian, had arrived earlier to set up the formation, making preparations in advance. Who would have thought that it would come in handy at this moment? Even Zhang Emperor Xin couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for Wu Feng's foresight - being prepared for any situation, preparing for the unexpected, truly a one-of-a-kind person in the world.

  "Jiuli Formation?" Ji Doudao's anger intensified as he saw this, and he immediately took out the Seven-Colored Luminous Mirror. As soon as it appeared in the sky, a brilliant seven-colored light burst forth, illuminating everything with clarity!

  When the Holy Mother was enraged, she took out an object. The object had only one blue color. As soon as it came out, it felt like it pierced through heaven and earth. After this light passed by, space itself seemed to be torn apart, leaving behind a black seam wherever it went, with no scenery in sight!

  "Emerald Whirlwind Sword Qi!" Wu Feng let out a loud shout and pushed Zhang Di Xin towards the center of the formation!

  The Qingping Sword is the sword worn by Tongtian Shengren, the founder of the Zhengyi Sect. Along with Taiyi Dust Sweeper and Sanbao Ruyi, they are collectively known as the Taixu Shangqing, symbolizing the unity of the three teachings of Tian, Yu, and Ren. This object is transformed from the lotus leaf of the 36th pure world Qinglian, one of the three great innate virtues and spiritual treasures. Its sword energy is indeed extraordinary!

  Zhang Emperor Xin is in the midst of the array, seeing only the stars filling the sky. The energy in his chest is like a surging ocean, and no matter how he uses it, it will never be exhausted. His whole body has a sense of fullness, as if heaven and earth are under his feet, and all the scholars from the eight directions are at his service. The shores of the four seas are all within his sight. This sky is me, I am the sky!

  A vast expanse of stars filled the sky, with darkness in all directions. Yet, a patch of green air appeared, tearing through the void, and Zhang Emperor Xin felt an abundance of divine energy. The green air seemed to be an existence that could swallow the heavens and devour the earth, and wherever it passed, the stars would dim by seven-tenths!

  What a powerful aura! Zhang Di Xin didn't dare to be careless, and immediately took out the Tiger's Spirit, forming a yellow light that blocked in front of him. The green light rushed forth, and all eight directions were filled with an icy chill. The rolling evil energy was like a flood or a fierce beast, submerging heaven and earth. The sword energy burst forth in all directions, resembling lightning flashing and thunder booming, as if splitting the world apart!
