It didn't take long for Zhou Ruying to return to her original place of investigation. She then turned into a rainbow and hovered in the sky.
Li Xiumi saw that she didn't leave. She controlled the mirage worms to maintain the mirage qi and transmitted her voice, "Why did she come back? Did she find something?"
Tao Zhenren pondered for a while and smiled, "If she really found something wrong, she wouldn't be like this. She would have called someone here long ago."
Mi Zhenren looked up to the sky. The saber light between her fingers was dancing as if she could attack at any time. She turned her head and said, "Tao Zhenren, how long will it take for you to set up the formation?"
Tao Zhenren smiled and said, "In fact, it can be used now. But it will take another five days to complete the formation. This is far beyond what I expected."
In his consideration, Yuxiao school would only give him half a day to set up the formation. After that, he could only use this half-completed formation to face the enemy. He didn't want the mirage worms as a cover, so he had enough time to complete the formation.
Mi Zhenren dispersed the saber light between her fingers and said coldly, "Then let her go this time."
Zhou Ruying once again used her heart to sense the surroundings, but she still didn't find anything unusual. After half a day, she suddenly waved her sleeves and released hundreds of hard thunderbolts. At the same time, her body also became blurred. This split shadow had no combat power. It was just a strand of her Qi dynamic. After this move, she was also on the verge of collapse.
Mi Zhenren and Li Xiumi's expressions changed slightly. The formation was not completely set up. If the hard thunderbolts fell, it would alarm the formation board and counterattack. It would be difficult to hide. But if they tried to block it, they would be exposed immediately.
However, Tao Zhenren shook his sleeves on the spot as if he wasn't afraid of being discovered. He kept all the hard thunderbolts and said, "Everyone, don't worry. Just Now, Zhou Ruying's shadow clone has been here for a long time. It has been contaminated with a lot of mirage qi. The deeper this qi penetrates, the more it will sink into the illusion. Now, even if the two of you walk under her eyes, if you don't want to be discovered. I will definitely not expose my tracks. "
Sure enough, Zhou Ruying didn't seem to notice anything.
In her eyes, she had already opened up a crack in one of the mountains, and the earth fire was spewing out even more intensely. There was no one hiding inside, nor was there anything unusual. He couldn't help but think, "Could it be that I'm worrying too much?"
She shook her head. There was no reason for her to feel uneasy, so she cast a spell. He then sat cross-legged in the sky.
After waiting for three days, a flying boat came over. There were five or six cultivators on it, and the leader was a silver-bearded old man. He bowed and said respectfully, "Spiritual Master Zhou, why did you summon me here?"
Zhou Ruying said, "There's something strange about this place. I suspect that someone is causing mischief here. All of you stay here and keep watch. Quickly come and report to me. "
The silver-bearded old man bowed and said, "Yes, this lowly one will definitely guard this place diligently."
Zhou Ruying said, "Don't slack off." Then, he turned into a streak of rainbow light. He returned to the Southern Cliff Continent with peace of mind.
Once she left, those cultivators were naturally not in the eyes of the three grotto-heavens below, so they left them here and didn't bother about them at all.
Another two days later, Tao Zhenren had completely set up the formation.
He was slightly relieved. Before the formation was completed, if it was exposed in advance, Yuxiao would definitely stop it. However, now that it was completed. On the contrary, there would be a period of peace. Before the Jadesky Sect was fully prepared, they would have a period of peace. They wouldn't rashly attack them.
He said, "Fellow Daoist Li, you can stop now. Let's see what Yuxiao will do next. "
When Li Xiumi heard this, she ordered the clam worm to retract the clam qi. After creating the illusion for several days, the worm was already exhausted. Since it could still be of great use in battle, she let it rest in peace.
Mi Zhenren gently flicked his sleeves at this moment, and a strong wind rolled up on the surface of the sea. It was wrapped in infinite saber qi. With just a rush, the few cultivators who were guarding here and the flying boat were smashed into pieces. The whole process was like wiping away ants.
As soon as the illusion was removed, a large formation that covered an area of ten thousand miles was revealed. Due to the gathering of Qi from all directions, it was far stronger than when it was blocked by the illusion. Therefore, many of the guarding sects on the Fengling Ocean immediately sensed it. In an instant, dozens of flying letters flew up from here and rushed to the South Cliff Continent.
Just Now, not long after Zhou Ruying returned, she received a flying letter warning. She was instantly shocked and angry. With a leap, she came to the high sky. Looking up, she saw tens of thousands of miles of silver light spread over the sea. The clear air waved high up, and the spiritual vigor connected the sky and the earth. It was obviously a carefully arranged forbidden formation.
And the location was obviously the place where she had checked before. She immediately knew that she had been deceived. She couldn't help but clench her fists tightly. She was also very embarrassed, and at the same time, there was a trace of nervousness.
Since the last time Tao Zhenhong and the other two were chased away, the Fengling Ocean was handed over to her to guard. However, she moved the sect and guarded it strictly. She never expected that they would actually set up a large formation on the South Sea. If her fellow sect members knew that she did not guard well, she didn't know how she would be punished.
After hesitating for a while, she took out a spell, and there was lightning around her body. Her figure flickered, and finally, she suddenly disappeared. She had returned to the Heart Enlightenment Cave of the Defense Sect.
She hurried to a stone residence and waved her sleeves. The two white-haired Daoren in the room saw that her expression was not right, so they didn't dare to say a word. They bowed and left.
She walked to the front of the jade disc and pointed with her finger. Light and shadows flashed on the eight jade pillars in front of her. There were five on the left and three on the right, a total of eight Perfected Grotto-Heavens.
On the left, there were the five halls of the Zhou Family Grotto-Heavens, namely Kang Zheng, Bi Bi, Yuan Shi, Su Heng, and Upper Ginseng. On the right, there were the three peak masters of the Wu Family, namely Hui Yang, Zheng Xing, and Gaoming.
It was obvious that the Yuxiao Sect already knew the reason. The second Perfected Bi Bi said, "Hall Master Xin Ming, do you have anything to say about the South Sea?"
Zhou Ruying secretly gritted her teeth and lowered her head, "This time, it's my fault. I'm willing to accept the sect's punishment."
Perfected Bi Bi snorted and said, "This matter has already happened. What's the use of punishing you?"
At that moment, the fourth Perfected Su Heng said, "Uncle-Master, according to what I know, when there was movement in the South Sea, Hall Master Xin Ming had taken the initiative to check the sea. However, he didn't find any clues. It can be seen that the other party's methods are brilliant. It's not Hall Master Xin Ming's fault."
At this point, he raised his voice slightly. "Perfected Ones, don't forget that Tao Zhenhong and the rest have the Qincang School behind them. If they want to hide it, it's not difficult for them to make a fuss in a place where Yuxiao's power can't reach. "
Zhenren Kangzheng said in a deep voice, "Hall Master Xin Ming's matter is not important. We can talk about it later. We can talk about the South Sea first. "
As soon as he said that, the place fell silent. The people of the grotto-heavens on both sides bowed and agreed.
Perfected Su Heng said, "When there was a movement in the South Sea, I used the Celestial Palace Mirror to check it out. That formation was grand and it covered a wide area. It's not something that can be done in a few years. I don't know how they set it up. "
Zhou Ruying couldn't help but say, "That might not be a formation."
Everyone looked over and Perfected Bi Bi said in a deep voice, "Hall Master Xin Ming, what do you mean by that?"
Zhou Ruying composed himself and told him about his experience at the sea. Half of it was to excuse himself, and the other half was to explain the reason.
"At that time, I couldn't see through that flaw. After thinking about it, they should have used some sort of illusion technique. However, if they had such a brilliant divine ability, they wouldn't be able to see through it. However, if they have such a brilliant divine power, it's not impossible to create a formation to make me retreat. "
Wu Ruyang said calmly, "Actually, it's easy to find out. We can just attack them when we get a treasure. If they are really bluffing, we can just wipe them out like last time. "
Zhenren Kangzheng said, "Perfected Wu's words make sense."
Zhou Ruying saw him raise his hand lightly. After a while, he heard a rumble coming from the high clouds in the sky, and it went straight to the South Sea.
Tao Zhenren was adjusting his Qi. Suddenly, he felt a sense of danger and looked up. He saw the high clouds in the sky shatter, and a green light with a majestic aura. It shot straight towards the formation. He immediately mobilized some formation power in his hands to be prepared.
There was a loud rumble. The green light collided with the formation. However, other than stirring up the surrounding seawater, the entire formation was different. Even the formation qi didn't decrease much.
The green light didn't stop there. It attacked a few more places, but it didn't gain any advantage. Not long after, it turned around and flew back.
Mi Zhenren frowned, "Is Yuxiao school testing us?"
Tao Zhenren smiled, "They probably don't believe that we are able to connect this land vein. Maybe they think that I am purposely setting up a formation, so they came to verify it."
His gaze looked towards the depths of the distant sky as he said, "Exactly how the Jadesky Sect will make a decision will be known in the next one or two days. We'll just have to wait and see."
After the Perfected Ones of Yuxiao school waited for a long time, Zhenren Kangzheng finally said slowly, "Just Now, I have tested the formation with the Green Golden Thorn in my hand. This formation is connected to the Earth Vein. There is a formation base below and a formation plate above. It is only a little lacking compared to an ordinary sect guarding formation. Moreover, there is one place that you need to pay attention to. Although it tried its best to cover it up, I could still tell that there was a fresh and flourishing aura within the formation that I had never seen before. Tao and Mi are not the only ones suppressing the formation. "
Wu Ruyang said, "I wonder who the last person is?"
Zhenren Kangzheng said, "Although the Qi is upright, it has not shed its demonic nature. It should not be the achievement of a human. It is very likely to be that Li Xiumi. I didn't expect that we did not stop him from achieving, but now he has become successful. "
Everyone could not help but furrow their brows.
To take down such a strong formation, the difficulty was no less than attacking a sect's formation.
Especially when there were three Grotto-Heavens in it. To break it, unless the entire Yuxiao school came out.
But don't forget that the other party still had the Dragon Palace to teleport. If he saw that the situation was not good, he could retreat. They could not stop him at all. The most troublesome thing was that even so, he could still come back after a few decades. Would they have to expel him again? Then Jadeheaven Sect from top to bottom would really be implicated here.
Perfected Su Heng thought for a moment, bowed, and said, "I have a few words. Maybe I have not thought it through, I don't know if I should say it."
Zhenren Kangzheng raised his hand and said, "This matter now is the time for us to brainstorm. You can tell me about it."
Daoist Su Heng bowed and said, "This nephew thinks that Tao Zhenhong and the others have made a comeback after 60 years, so they've prepared all sorts of methods. If we make a move hastily, we'll probably fall right into their trap."
Zhenren Kangzheng said in a low voice, "That makes sense. Continue."
Perfected Su Heng continued, "However, the situation this time is different from the previous time. Previously, there was no barrier between the Fengling Ocean and the South Cliff Continent. Once their mana was used, they could threaten the foundation of our sect. Thus, we had to expel them. However, this time, they are building a formation on the South Sea. I think that we can use the Fengling Ocean as a base to set up the altar. Then, we can send Perfected Ones from the sect to defend against the enemies outside."
Zhenren Kangzheng said, "Hmm, you want to turn offense into defense and lure the enemy out of their nest. That's a good idea."
Perfected Su Heng bowed and said, "Uncle-Master's eyes are sharp. That is exactly what I mean."
Everyone present nodded in agreement.
The formation and the South Cliff Continent were separated by the Fengling Ocean. As long as the altar was built on the Fengling Ocean, it could be used as a barrier for the South Cliff Continent. With one or two people guarding it, there was indeed no need to worry about the other party destroying the continent.
If the other party saw this, they would definitely try to destroy it. However, if they only used their treasures to attack, they could destroy it one by one. If they came personally and gathered Yuxiao's strength, it would not be difficult to take them down. If they did not dare to make a move, they could maintain the stalemate.
Although this would require a portion of Yuxiao's strength, it was still what the Qincang School wanted. However, this was also the most appropriate way to handle the situation.
Seeing that no one spoke, Kang Zheng looked at Wu Ruyang and said, "Perfected Wu, what do you think?"
Wu Ruyang said, "I have no objections. However, I wonder who is the most suitable person to guard the Fengling Ocean?"
Zhenren Kangzheng said, "Hall Master Xinming has been negligent in his duties before. He can go and guard this place to atone for his mistakes."
Zhou Ruying did not dare to disobey and agreed.
Perfected Su Heng said, "However, there are three people on Tao Zhenhong's side. Hall Master Xinming can't handle them alone."
The gazes of the Zhou family turned to the three Perfected Ones of the Wu family.
After a while, Wu Ruyang said slowly, "Yunbi has always been steady. He can guard this place with Martial Nephew Zhou."
Zhenren Kangzheng said, "The last time we went to Mount Li, it was also the two of them. They did well that time. I hope that they will not disappoint the sect this time."
Zhou Ruying and Wu Yunbi sternly agreed.
A few days later, Tao, Li, and the rest did not receive Yuxiao's attack. Instead, they heard the news that he was building an altar and a formation on the Fengling Ocean.
Li Xiumi said in a low voice, "Yuxiao is advancing by retreating. He wants to lure me out."
Tao Zhenren smiled faintly and said, "We will rely on this formation to build the altar and push forward. If Yuxiao does not come out to stop us, we will go all the way to the Fengling Ocean. Let's see if he can endure it then."
Li Xiumi could not help but suck in a cold breath. Once they did that, the treasured materials needed were truly incalculable. Furthermore, the materials they used to build the great formation were all sent over by Yue Cang Sect. Doing this was safe and sound, but Jadesky Sect would definitely fight against them. In this way, it was equivalent to two great sects competing with each other in terms of resources.
