10 consecutive days passed in the blink of an eye.
That morning, Zong Shou suddenly woke up from his meditation.
Then, they could hear the war drums from afar.
It had begun!
Such a thought flashed across his mind as Zong Shou got up. He pulled up Chu Xue who was hugging his tail and sleeping sweetly and charged out of the room.
In that instance, the restrictions in his body were unlocked layer by layer.
Energy surged and the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox monster body was also kept.
Moments later, Chu Xue who was originally in a daze totally woke up. Her face was filled with killing intent.
That day, Zong Shou didn't swallow Chu Xue as the time wasn't right.
To do such a thing when the sect was on the verge of life and death, no matter how one thought about it, it wasn't appropriate.
He could only leave this cute little girl for the future …
The two of them flew through the air towards the center.
Cang Shengdao's 5 Source Ocean Boundless Nine Palace Sword Formations were spread out around the Vast Habitat.
Who knows if it was because he was taking care of her or because of some other reason. Only the one that Zong Shou was in charge of was within the palace city.
The pressure was the least but it was also Cang Shengdao's last line of defense.
When they arrived here and stepped onto the prepared central sword platform, they saw that Shui Lingbo was already here. Her expression was solemn and her face was as cold as ice.
The 5 central platforms all had a water mirror that was connected to the defensive formation of the Vast Habitat. One could use this mirror to observe the scenes outside of the Vast Habitat. It allowed the person in charge of the 5 formations to understand the situation outside of the Vast Habitat and make a reasonable response.
Zong Shou stood at the center of the platform. This Nine Palace Sword Formation wasn't completed yet.
When the war drums sounded out, numerous cultivators were flying swiftly in the sky above the Vast Habitat.
Even the one within the palace had half of them who weren't in position.
However, it didn't stop him from activating the sword formation. Threads of energy spread out and covered dozens of miles, covering the entire common people's learning palace. He also took over the control of the sword formation without hesitation.
After finishing all this, Zong Shou had time to look at the water mirror. Then, his pupils shrank and he sucked in a cold breath.
What appeared in the mirror was the Cloud World. Only to see that around the area where the Vast Habitat and the Cloud World connected, there were close to five hundred thousand troops gathered!
… Daoling Vast Habitat's 35 thousand Purple Qilin Flame Spear Cavalry, Tailing Sect's 28 thousand Purple Cloud Sword Cavalry, Heaven Demon Vast Habitat's 32 thousand Heaven Demon War Cavalry, and Yuanshi Demon Sect's 24 thousand Yuanshi Demon Spirit Cavalry were all gathered here.
Other than that, there were also other Dao soldiers from the Daoling Sect, the Demonflow Gate, and the others, totaling up to 70,000.
Just the Xuan Grade Dao Soldiers alone numbered close to 200 thousand.
The rest were Taishang soldiers. Zong Shou also recognized them.
150 thousand Xuan Iron Trap Soldiers, 80 thousand Pinnacle Arrow God Archers, and also 50 thousand Yuanchen Blood Cavalry.
As for the Xiantian and below support troops, there were also close to 400 thousand.
"It seems like they really went all out, what a huge amount …"
Apart from the Dao Soldiers, they didn't include the cultivators gathered by the various sects.
1 Heavenly Place, 2 Vast Habitats, and hundreds of sects, close to 2 million people.
At this moment, looking out through the mirror, they were densely packed. Nearby, before the battle even started, energy waves surged into the sky.
Thousands of Pure Yang Celestial Cultivators gathered here. It also caused the sky to shine brightly.
Zong Shou only felt his head go numb. This gathered strength was even enough to wipe out the new Da Qian.
The strength gap was close to 1: 10.
Now, he could only hope that the protective formation that Xi Zi left was strong enough.
"There is nothing to worry about!"
Although Shui Lingbo's expression was solemn, she didn't care much about the hundreds of thousands of troops and millions of cultivators reflected in the mirror. She didn't care about them at all.
"That year when Cang Shengdao was attacked by the Cloud World Sects, the scale was only slightly weaker than this. However, during these few thousand years, Senior Brother Wei Xu has managed it well. Our Cang Shengdao has slowly recovered and is even stronger than before. Common People's Vast Habitat along with the Three Sects and Six Schools, we have a total of 70 thousand Common People's Mysterious Dragon Warriors which is enough to restrict them. The Vast Habitat's Ten Thousand Celestial Illusionary Space Thirty Three Celestial Formation was said to be created by Senior Master Xi Zi who spent thousands of years of effort. How can it be small? "
The Ten Thousand Celestial Illusionary Space Thirty Three Celestial Formation was the protective formation of the Vast Habitat.
Naturally, Zong Shou had heard about the reputation of this formation. Legend had it that the more Celestial Cultivators there were, the stronger the formation would be.
If 10 thousand Celestials gathered, it would be said to be unbreakable.
Cang Shengdao naturally couldn't gather 10 thousand Celestial Cultivators. However, after summoning all the disciples who were roaming outside, there were a total of 1800.
It was enough to use close to 70% of the strength of this Ten Thousand Celestial Formation.
However, after all, he had only heard about it and hadn't experienced the battle thousands of years ago. As such, Zong Shou was still really nervous about the strength of this Ten Thousand Celestial Illusionary Space Formation.
Just at that moment, Zong Shou suddenly sensed something and looked towards the core of the palace, the sky above the Central Hall.
Only to see numerous Spiritual Light gathering there. A majestic Golden Pagoda appeared out of nowhere and rose up from the ground.
Layer by layer, it built up until it reached the 27th layer before it finally stopped. All of a sudden, a bright light shone down on a thousand miles of land.
Shui Lingbo looked on quietly, her eyes filled with regret.
"What a waste! Just a little more and it could have reached the 28th layer … "
Zong Shou also felt regret. That Golden Pagoda was the manifestation of the Ten Thousand Celestial Formation.
There were a total of 33 layers, each layer higher. The strength of this Ten Thousand Celestial Formation would increase by several times.
There was a huge difference between the 27th layer and the 28th layer.
However, moments later, his eyes lit up once more.
He saw a person stepping in the air and walking to the tip of the pagoda. Looking out, it was Xiuguan.
Then, the Purple-Gold Giant Pagoda rose up once more. This time, it only stopped when it reached the 32nd layer.
When the 32nd layer was formed, the space barrier of the Vast Habitat was so firm that it made Zong Shou's hair stand on end.
He tried to use his strength to test it out, using 60% of it, but he still couldn't break through the barrier.
This Ten Thousand Celestial Formation directly affected the outside of the Vast Habitat, especially the Cloud World.
Similarly, a giant Golden Pagoda appeared above the hundreds of thousands of troops in the Cloud World.
Under the pressure, the surrounding Spiritual Energy nearly solidified.
Those hundreds of thousands of Dao Soldiers were directly affected. The energy connection between them was pretty much cut off.
Around this place, the thousands of miles of world seemed to have been split into tens of thousands of independent spaces.
The five hundred thousand Dao Soldiers and two million cultivators were all split up piece by piece.
Zong Shou heaved a sigh of relief. Facing such a scale of Dao Soldiers, it would be a lie if he said he wasn't worried.
In the past, Wulie Country had 43,000 Blood Cloud Cavalry, led by experts who could easily kill Peak Saint Realm experts.
With the Xuan and Huang Grade Dao Soldiers gathered here as well as those 2 million cultivators, it was enough to support 20 top Saint Realm experts.
However, when this Ten Thousand Celestial Illusionary Space Formation was formed, it directly suppressed them.
It suppressed the energy connection between the Dao Soldiers and also split up their strength.
No matter how brilliant a general was or how skilled a martial artist was in the military who was good at gathering Force, there was nothing he could do in this place. When a dragon entered the shallow ocean, it couldn't stretch out.
Unless it broke through this 32nd layer Purple-Gold Pagoda within the Vast Habitat.
Looking at the water mirror, within the Cloud World, there were close to 70,000 Common People's Mysterious Dragon Warriors protecting the connection point between the Cloud World and the Vast Habitat.
The cavalry formation was really tight. Just the aura of 70,000 people could go up against the close to 500,000 Dao Soldiers around.
The Taoist Faction and Demon Sect all had their own Dao Soldier systems.
The Vast Habitat was wary and didn't want their top Dao Soldiers to be controlled by the subordinate sects.
The sects also wanted to be independent. Even if their combat strength was slightly weaker, they wanted to rely on themselves.
Only Cang Shengdao's Vast Habitat and the Three Sects and Six Schools had the same Dao Soldier system.
As their situation wasn't good, they didn't have many resources to use. Naturally, they knew how to work together to save on unnecessary expenditure.
If they faced war, the Dao Soldiers raised by the Vast Habitat and the Three Sects and Six Schools wouldn't need to work together.
At this moment, using the help of the Ten Thousand Celestial Formation, they should be able to defend the entrance of the Vast Habitat in the Cloud World.
"Speaking of which, the key to this battle is still within the Vast Habitat …"
While Zong Shou spoke, he raised his hand. The scenes in the mirror changed to the outer region void.
Then, within the World River, there were many Heaven and Earth Grade Dao Soldier formations.
Counting, there were a total of 47. There were at least 30-50 of them and at most hundreds of them. There were also close to 4,000 Celestial Cultivators who gave off a huge aura.
Just as Zong Shou shone the mirror light over, these Dao Soldier formations and many Celestial Cultivators either used spells or Sword Light to strike the Vast Habitat Dharma.
Peng!
The entire Vast Habitat shook slightly. The ground below also shook for a moment.
Zong Shou personally saw the restriction talismans that Cang Shengdao Cultivators laid out outside collapse bit by bit.
Just as Zong Shou thought that the outer restrictions were about to collapse from one strike.
Above the 32-layer Golden Pagoda, Xiuguan's lips curled up in disdain. He waved his sleeves and the Golden Pagoda shone brightly.
The restriction talismans outside were repaired once more. The speed of recovery even exceeded when they collapsed.
In the blink of an eye, they recovered back to normal. It caused the 47 Dao Soldier formations and the hard work of thousands of Celestial Cultivators to go to waste.
Zong Shoxin relaxed once more, thinking to himself that no wonder thousands of years ago, when the Cloud World Sects worked together, they couldn't break through the Common People's Vast Habitat. Instead, they suffered heavy losses and returned in failure.
This Ten Thousand Celestial Formation was indeed strong. Compared to the Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect that was wiped out by the Blood Cloud Cavalry, it was much stronger.
Especially with a Peak End Realm Expert like Xiuguan suppressing, it was unbelievably firm.
Looking at the scenes, even if the Dao Soldier Celestial Cultivators used up all their strength, they wouldn't be able to shake this Ten Thousand Celestial Formation at all.
However, the Taoist, Confucian, and Demon Factions definitely wouldn't let this matter rest.
After the initial probing, it should be time for the true show to start.
The Saint Realm and even End Realm Saint Venerables of the three factions should appear. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
