Sima Quan didn't immediately send a reply. He knew that even if he activated the Sky Piercing Gui, the cultivators of the nine continents wouldn't be able to enter at once. No matter how fast they were, it would take several years to get through. Even if it took a bit longer, it would still be normal.
Even though the cultivators of the nine continents had used many methods to hide their auras to prevent the cultivators of the Inner Realm from sensing them, it was hard to say. If someone found them, they could still prepare in advance.
In this case, it was very important to destroy the six formations. As long as he succeeded, even if the two sects noticed an enemy coming, they wouldn't be able to gather their forces in a short period of time. This would give the nine continents time to split up and destroy the formations.
He waved his hand and called a disciple to come up. He handed the Sky Piercing Gui to that disciple.
This disciple had also been infected by his demonic poison. Once the time was right, he only needed to give the order and that disciple would activate the treasure for him.
After inspecting his body and confirming that there weren't any flaws, he transformed into a ray of clear light that soared into the sky and dashed up into the sky.
Just one day later, he gradually closed in on the formation.
He looked over and found that a lot of formations were on the side. From the outside, they all looked like rainbows. Under the vast void, they looked very beautiful.
He had the decree with him, so along the way, the restrictions were all separated without any obstruction.
At the end, he saw a bridge of gold and bronze with two cultivators standing on it.
He had already found out that one of them was named Cai and the other was named Zhu. They were both guards of the formation and were at the first stage of the Elephant Realm. However, they knew that they had no hope of cultivating, so they joined Yuliangism and took the initiative to devour the Knowledge Jade. This earned them Gu Congrong's trust.
When Cai and Zhu heard that there would be a guard today, they were already waiting there out of courtesy.
Sima Quan knew that if he wanted to do things smoothly in the next few days, he would have to deal with these two, so he rushed forward. He clasped his hands and said, "Greetings, fellow cultivators."
The two of them returned the greeting. Because the journey to the Formation Path was extremely long, they still had their duties to do. After greeting each other and roughly explaining the rules of this place, they went their separate ways.
Sima Quan went to the formation he was supposed to look after. He patrolled the area and familiarized himself with it before sitting down on the floating platform.
He didn't immediately bury the sword ball. Although he didn't feel anything strange, he was sure that someone was watching him.
It wasn't that the sect suspected him of being an enemy, but that he hadn't devoured the Knowledge Jade, so he wasn't trustworthy.
If it wasn't for the fact that they were short on manpower, they wouldn't have sent him here.
Therefore, for a period of time after that, other than patrolling the Array Dao, he meditated and did not do anything else. He was secretly waiting for an opportunity.
After three months in a row, he and Cai and Zhu two people could be considered to be familiar with each other.
One day when Zhu Zhenjun was chatting with him, he said, "Zhenjun, I'm afraid you'll have to stay here for a while. “
Sima Quan already knew the reason, but he pretended to be surprised. "Why is that?"
Zhu sighed. "I don't know what happened to True Lord Ying. He had already taken care of the clan's matters, but on the way back, we lost contact with him. We don't know where he is now. Before he returns, we can only trouble True Lord Hu to continue looking after the formation."
Sima Quan sighed and smiled bitterly. "I only hope that True Lord Ying will return soon."
Zhu looked at him and asked, "What do you think of this place, True Lord?"
Sima Quan said, "Other than looking after the formation every day being a little troublesome, there's nothing bad about it. At least we can use external medicine as we wish, and we get along quite well."
Zhu laughed. "If True Lord Hu is willing to suffer some grievances, it's not difficult for you to stay here."
Sima Quan understood that this was to persuade him to devour the Knowledge Jade. That way, he would be truly trusted, and he would be able to stay here.
But as a Heavenly Demon, how would he dare to do that?
Luckily, True Lord Ying's life and death were still unknown. At least before the results were found, he could still sit firmly in his position. He said, "I will think about it carefully."
Zhu laughed. He didn't try to persuade him any further, and left.
Another three months passed quickly, but Ying Han still hadn't returned. At this time, the sect realized that something was wrong. They sent people to search, but to no avail. They concluded that something unexpected must have happened.
Right now, the various Heaven Domain Spiritual Masters all had their own duties, and they couldn't find suitable people. After some consideration, because Sima Quan hadn't made any mistakes in the past half a year, they might as well appoint him as the Guardian of this place, and he could be considered to have obtained the position.
After Sima Quan heard this news, he was completely at ease.
In reality, he had been paying attention to this matter. Even if someone really came to take over his position, he would think of a way to get rid of him without leaving a trace. Now that he could take over, it saved him a lot of trouble.
On the second day after he was appointed, he threw down the last sword orb. At the same time, he secretly sent a message to the clone, ordering him to turn the Sky-reaching Gui.
But he couldn't leave yet. It would take some time for the Nine Continent Zhenren to pass through the Heaven and Earth Pass. He could only activate the six sword orbs at the same time.
In the Void Primordial Sea, the six Mortal Slough Zhenren that came from the Nine Continent were sitting cross-legged on the back of the giant Kun. Even though there were rays of Innate Chaotic Destructive Primordial Light that kept falling on them, as Mortal Slough Cultivators, they didn't care at all.
Zhang Yan suddenly sensed something. He opened his eyes and took out the Sky-reaching Gui. Looking at the spiritual light that burst out from it, he said, "There's news from Zhenren Sima."
Sect Master Qin said slowly, "According to the previous plan, if Zhenren Sima's plan goes smoothly, then we will land in the territory of Junior Martial Brother Kong Ying, Gu Congrong. Zhenren, if you see this person, you must kill him at the first moment. Don't let him escape."
In attacking Yuliangism, who to target first was also very important.
The two Gong brothers and Bei Xiangtong were originally subdued by Yuliangism. Even if they were killed, it wouldn't change the overall situation. But other than Kong Ying, the most important person in the sect was Gu Congrong.
Just like how the heavens needed to communicate with each other through formations, Gu Congrong was the hub of communication between the upper and lower levels of Yuliangism.
Kong Ying usually didn't care about the mundane affairs. He only fought everywhere and deterred enemies. Gu Congrong, on the other hand, was in charge of internal and external affairs. He planned the overall situation and was also responsible for passing down orders. The two of them worked very well together.
Once this person died, the Yuliang Order would certainly fall into chaos. Gongxiao and Gongchang had their own agendas to begin with. Without an order, they would likely find an excuse to shirk their duty. As long as one person watched, the others would likely follow suit. This would be greatly beneficial to their operations.
Yue Xuanxiao stood up and said in a loud voice, "Then there's no need to wait." He turned around and said, "Zhenren Zhang, you and I will kill our way in now."
If all the Zhenren Mortals went in together, even if they had a concealment method, it was still very likely that they would be discovered. Therefore, they decided to go first. Yue Xuanxiao and Zhang Yan's escape techniques were excellent, so they could kill their way into the realm first to find their opponents. Sect Leader Qin and the rest would come later. As for the great Kun Ying Gui, he was arranged to enter the realm last.
Zhang Yan smiled and stood up. He cupped his hands and said, "Sect Leader Zhenren, Zhenren Zhang, we will go first."
After he finished speaking, he nodded at Yue Xuanxiao. Then, the two of them turned into two majestic beams of clear light and rushed into the Heaven and Earth Pass!
In the blink of an eye, seven years had passed.
After Sima Quan became the guard, he patrolled the Formation Path every day. Sometimes, he even took the initiative to take care of some matters. It seemed like he was doing his duty, but he was actually doing it to prevent the sword ball from being found.
On this day, he heard Zhenren Zhu's voice transmission. "Zhenren Hu, the lord will return in a few days. You have to be alert. Don't make any mistakes."
Sima Quan's expression changed. "Gu Congrong Rong is going to return?"
He thought, "If I destroy the Formation Path the moment Gu Congrong Rong Rong returns, will he be expelled into the Void Realm and never come out again?"
But after thinking about it again, he decided not to take this risk.
Zhenren Mortals had remarkable abilities. He might discover something before this and escape in advance. Moreover, even if he succeeded, it would conflict with the original plan. If he fell into the Void Realm, who knew when he would come out? That would be self-defeating.
So, he did everything as usual. After a month, he felt a beam of clear light fly out from the Formation Path and land on Earth Star. As soon as the aura passed through Congtian, he felt as if he was being pressed down by a mountain. He couldn't move his body at all. After a long time, he recovered Just Now. He couldn't help but think, "It seems like the legends are true. Although this person is good at managing the sect, his cultivation isn't high. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been unable to control his aura when he flew over."
There was still some time before the expedition to the Mountain and Sea Realm. Gu Congrong Rong had returned because he was worried about the affairs of the sect over the past few years. He planned to take care of them before returning to Congtian to collect aura.
But just as he was about to land on Earth Star, his expression suddenly changed. He seemed to have sensed something. He stopped and looked back.
He wasn't the only one. All the cultivators felt something was amiss. They couldn't help but look up into the sky, and expressions of shock appeared on their faces.
A gap had been torn in the sky. At the same time, two powerful auras descended. Just Now, Gu Congrong Rong Rong's aura was like a trickle. These two auras were like raging waves. They were filled with killing intent and caused the entire world to tremble.
In the midst of the fear, only Sima Quan revealed a look of joy. He didn't know that Nine Provinces True Qi was already here. Without hesitation, he activated the six sword orbs!
Boom!
Almost at the same time, six swords that could tear the heavens and split the earth rose up in the Great Dust Realm, stirring up the heavens!
