Zhang Yan looked into the distance and saw the stars in the sky. There was nothing strange, so he asked, "Enlightened Sima, is there anything different about this heaven realm?"
Sima Quan replied, "After the Qi Accumulation Palace knew that all of you were coming, they set up restrictive formations everywhere. However, the other heavens were heavily guarded, and every step was filled with killing intent. Only this one was spared, as if it was intentionally spared. If it wasn't for the fact that I couldn't survive in other heavens, I wouldn't be willing to come here."
Ying Chunqiu said, "It looks like the Qi Accumulation Palace deliberately let you come here. But I have a question. Is this place far from the main palace of the Qi Accumulation Palace?"
Sima Quan said, "Compared to the other heavens, not only is it not far, it can be considered close." He pointed. "If we follow this, we will reach the main star."
Ying Chunqiu looked over and said, "That must be a trap."
The Zhenrens nodded slightly.
Although there was a saying in terms of strategy, it was impossible for the Qi Accumulation Palace to leave such a big loophole at their doorstep. This was because it was too risky. If they failed, there would be no way out.
If it had been a small force, it might have done so in a desperate situation. However, the Qi Accumulation Palace was a big force with a long history. It had many hidden tricks in the main heaven, and it was far from the point where it would risk its life to fight to the death. Moreover, they knew that Yang Chuan was a conservative person. He didn't use such violent methods when he fought against Kong Yin, so they were more inclined to believe that this was a trap set up in advance.
Zhenren Meng bowed and said, "Master, do you want to go around the other realms?"
Sect Leader Qin said, "What do you think, Zhenrens?"
Xue Dingyuan thought for a while and said, "Although there are traps here, we don't know what's going on inside, so we'll avoid this place. Who knows if this person has similar tricks in other places? Since it's right in front of us, I think we should try to find out. If we can figure out what's going on, we might be able to break through, and the risk will be worth it. If not, we can always go somewhere else. "
Yue Xuanxiao said, "Being afraid of the enemy and avoiding the danger is not what we do. I agree with Sect Leader Xue. We can send a Zhenren inside to find out what's going on. If anything happens, we can save them in time."
He didn't think that the formations could do anything to them. In fact, there weren't many formations that could threaten Mortal Metamorphosis Cultivators. At most, they could only hinder and consume magic power. However, the Qi Accumulation Palace had existed for at least a hundred thousand years, so it might have some powerful tricks up its sleeves. For example, the Seal Expelling Formation could send people to outer space or some unknown place. Zhang Yan had encountered it during his battle with Kong Yin before, so it was not to be underestimated.
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Why don't we leave this matter to fellow Daoist Xuan Wu?"
The Divine Beast Black Tortoise was an otherworldly spirit. As long as he didn't die, he wouldn't be killed. He was the best candidate to break through the formation.
The True Immortals also knew about this. After a short discussion, they agreed.
Zhang Yan cupped his hands towards the Black Tortoise and said, "I'll have to trouble fellow Daoist to make this trip."
The Black Tortoise let out a roar, and its body suddenly became illusory. Then, it collapsed and turned into a river of water, rumbling in the direction of the main palace of the Qi-accumulation Palace.
Not long after Fang Xingdu arrived, rays of spiritual light appeared in the void and twinkled incessantly around him.
This was actually the Spiritual Opportunity that was triggered when the formation energy was released. In fact, before these abnormalities appeared, the attacks from the formation had already landed on the Divine Beast's body. However, all of these were useless against it. It did not even manage to stop the Divine Beast from moving forward at all.
At the same time, in the Qi Accumulation Palace, Yang Chuan suddenly felt something and immediately realized that someone from the Nine Continents had broken into the array. He waved his sleeve and the scene of the array immediately appeared in the palace.
Looking at it, he saw a wave of water rushing towards the array. It even faintly evolved into the silhouette of a half-turtle and half-snake. It looked extremely powerful.
He snorted. The Nine Continents had only sent one person into the array. Obviously, it was just a test. He did not expect the opponent to be so careful despite having such an advantage. Fortunately, he did not expect to succeed here. It would be great if he succeeded, but it did not matter if he failed.
About ten days later, the Black Tortoise seemed to have triggered some kind of restriction. A golden light fell from the sky, and its huge body suddenly disappeared.
The True Immortals sensed through their Divine Wills that the Black Tortoise had landed somewhere. Although it was not very dangerous, it was very far away from them.
Meng Zhen said in a low voice, "So it's a Transfer Formation. It seems that Yang Chuan's plan is to separate us."
Xue Dingyuan said, "There are only four Emperors in the Qi-accumulation Palace, including Yang Chuan. If they don't do this, it would be difficult for them to fight against me. This is definitely not the only place with traps. We must be careful when we come down."
Sect Leader Qin raised his horsetail whisk and swept it on the back of the giant kun. He said, "Ying Gui, have you memorized it?"
The giant kun responded. It could see a trace of the future. After witnessing the changes in the formation, it would be able to sense it in advance if it came down and encountered a similar formation again.
Since they knew that this place had such traps, the True Immortals of the Nine Continents would not force their way in. They decided to look for opportunities in other heavens. Thus, under Sima Quan's lead, they drove the giant kun in another direction.
Three months later, they arrived at another heavenly realm.
Sima Quan said, "There are a total of eleven heavenly realms surrounding the main Qi Accumulation Palace. In front of us is the Liangye Heavenly Realm. This place is neither too far nor too close, and the formations and prohibitions are similar to the others. There's nothing special about it. However, no matter which direction we go, we will eventually run into a Primordial Star. This object looks similar to an Earth Star, but it's actually a defensive treasure refined by the ancestors of the Qi Accumulation Palace. I'm not sure what changes it has undergone. Once we pass this barrier, we will reach the true center of the Qi Accumulation Palace. Yang Chuan must be there at this moment."
Ying Chunqiu volunteered, "Let me go and check it out."
After the True Immortals agreed, he turned into a sword light and rushed into the formation. He spent more than a hundred days circling around, but only after he found out most of the changes in this heavenly realm did he retreat.
Because the formation here was biased towards defense, there was no Transfer Formation. Thus, the True Immortals rode the giant kun and rushed in.
Yang Chuan sat in the palace and saw everything. He said to the servant beside him, "Pass down my order, order the three of them to guard the forbidden stars. Delay them as long as they can, and don't worry about exhausting their mana."
Originally, he could have used his divine will to inform Jiang Can and the other two, but the enemy was too strong. He looked calm on the surface, but his heart was unprecedentedly serious and dignified. He didn't want to easily lose even a trace of his divine will.
His strategy was to use the formation and prohibitions to exhaust the enemy's mana as much as possible. When the real attack came, he would use the Transfer Formation. He would send as many away as he could, and then he would wait for an opportunity to attack. If everything went smoothly, he might be able to kill one or two people. Then, he would fight and retreat to the Red Border Heavenly Realm. When he reached there, he could activate the Transfer Formation again.
However, he also knew that even if he achieved all his goals, he couldn't defeat the cultivators of the nine continents. Therefore, he had to escape to other places and use the accumulation of the Qi Accumulation Palace for hundreds of thousands of years to wear down the opponents.
The people of the nine continents traveled very quickly. After more than thirty days, they successfully passed through the Liangye Heavenly Realm. At this moment, they saw an earth star blocking their way. There were no mountains, rivers, or continents on it, but it was like a polished round stone. It was surrounded by sparse clouds, and there was a long-bearded Daoist sitting on it. He bowed to them from afar.
Sima Quan said, "Dear True Immortals, this is the Qi Accumulation Palace's High Supervisor Shang Zhou."
Zhang Yan glanced at the star and felt that it contained a huge amount of spiritual vigor. Not only that, there was also a trace of divine will in it. He looked at the Daoist for a moment, and his eyes flashed. He said, "This person is only formed by a trace of Qi vigor, his real body isn't here."
Meng Zhen bowed to Sect Leader Qin and said, "Allow me to test it out."
After obtaining permission, he floated down from the back of the great Kun, and with a wave of his sleeve, a boundless wave of water that covered the sky surged forward and instantly enveloped the Origin Star. However, the Origin Star tumbled and turned within the wave, and it wasn't damaged in the slightest.
The True Immortals were slightly moved. The Northern Underworld True Water that Meng Zhen used his mana could even wash away an earth star in an instant. They didn't expect that the star was not damaged at all, and they didn't know what it was made of.
At this moment, the long-bearded Daoist on the earth star made a gesture and shook his sleeve. A few murky lights shot out and headed straight for Meng Zhen and the True Immortals.
The lights were extremely fast and arrived in an instant. A small flag suddenly flew in front of Meng Zhen and blocked it.
On the other hand, all of them stood there without moving. Before the murky lights that were charging towards them could even come close, the Kun's body merely shook slightly before it suddenly vanished without a trace, as if it had gone to another dimension.
Ying Chunqiu suddenly said, "Did you notice that the star is slightly smaller than it was Just Now?"
Xue Dingyuan said, "This star is like a great medicine.
Zhang Yan thought for a moment and said, "This illusory body is stored by the cultivator's divine will in advance, so it's not afraid of the external god's suppression. All mana and spiritual vigor are based on the star. When these two are combined, not only does it not have any weakness, it can also unleash strength that is not inferior to one's own. With this thing, it's like there's one more Emperor in the palace." He turned around and asked, "Zhenren Sima, do you know how many stars there are?"
Sima Quan replied, "There are at least four."
Zhang Yan nodded. To refine this thing, it was unknown how many precious materials and spirits were used. Only a sect that had been passed down for more than 100,000 years could spend so much money Just Now.
Xue Dingyuan said, "This thing doesn't have any obvious shortcomings. It seems that only by exhausting it can we completely get rid of it."
Sect Leader Qin waved his horsetail whisk and said, "Then we'll move forward after exhausting this thing."
If the nine provinces were in a hurry to kill Yang Chuan, they would leave one person behind to tangle with him while the rest of them charged in.
However, their strategy this time was to fight steadily and not disperse their strength. Therefore, they would rather clear the obstacles on the way slowly than do anything else. Even if Yang Chuan moved the rest of the stars here, they would still have the patience to clear them one by one, not giving the enemy any chance to take advantage of them.
