The middle-aged Daoist followed the Qi and instantly arrived at the mound where Cen Xiao lived. However, as the place was shrouded by the Prohibition Formation, everything was covered in fog and nothing could be seen clearly. He snorted and activated his mana. In an instant, his mana materialized and pressed down like a falling mountain.
He initially thought that if he attacked, he would definitely be able to flatten the boundary. In order not to affect the boundary of the human path and attract unnecessary trouble, he purposely held back.
However, when the mana pressed on the mist, there were only layers of ripples. After a long while, it returned to normal.
He looked at it in shock and said, "Formation?"
He was originally a demon native of the Kun Shi Continent who attained Dao. Previously, he heard from the person who taught him that cultivators with human bodies were good at operating Prohibition Formation. However, he had never seen it before. Today, he finally encountered it.
Based on what he knew, Prohibition Formation usually borrowed spiritual opportunity from the earth meridian. If one wanted to attack it head-on, unless one could break the formation in one blow, one could only try to exhaust or weaken the surrounding spiritual opportunity. Just Now, he could break it. Hence, he calculated and felt that it would inevitably take some effort to remove this formation. However, since he was here, he would not go back so easily without achieving his goal.
He sneered and waved his sleeves above the clouds. Then, he started chanting scriptures.
He was originally a bird that entered Dao. Hence, when he started chanting, the spiritual birds that passed by the sky were affected by the scriptures. Instantly, their minds went into a mess and they were attracted to him. Then, they crashed into the Prohibition Formation crazily. In an instant, their flesh and blood were smashed and the sky was filled with feathers.
At this moment, Cen Xiao was talking to Young Master Shuai. The latter heard the rumbling outside as though thunder was right beside his ears. He was shocked and asked, "What's going on outside?"
Cen Xiao, on the other hand, was calm and said, "Someone is attacking my cave abode with mana."
"What?" Young Master Shuai was shocked. He suddenly stood up and said, "Who dares to do this? Could it be a different species of fierce demon in the wilderness? "
Cen Xiao comforted him, "Young Master Shuai, there's no need to panic. This place of mine is protected by a forbidden formation. Without my permission, no matter how this person attacks, he won't be able to enter in a short time."
The jade stake he had brought with him had been refined from the Earthfire Heavenly Furnace of the Qincang School, and was specifically designed to defend against Greater Demons of the Mountains and Seas. Even if the opponent had the magical power of the Mammoth level, the jade stake would still be able to defend against it, unless his cultivation base was at the level of mortalhood. Of course, if his opponent had such magical power, he wouldn't be sitting here so calmly.
Young Master Shuai didn't know what a restriction formation was, but seeing his calm expression, he slowly calmed down.
Cen Xiao said, "There are enemies here and Xiao has to go deal with them. I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of Young Master Ling for a while."
Young Master Shuai heard this and understood that this kind of battle formation was a fight between immortals. It wasn't something he could get involved in. He quickly said, "It's alright, it's alright." He then bowed and excused himself.
When he arrived at the side hall, he saw that his brother had already woken up. He asked a few questions, and his brother spoke clearly like a normal person. He couldn't help but feel happy, but at the same time, he was worried that if Cen Xiao couldn't defend against the enemy, then the people on his side would lose their lives. But at the moment, he was powerless to do anything and could only wait anxiously.
Although Cen Xiao had only cultivated for a little over a hundred years, he still had memories from his previous life. When he was in charge of the Sect of the Deep Caves, he had single-handedly supported the entire sect. During this time, he had experienced countless dangerous situations. So even though he was in trouble now, he wasn't the least bit flustered. He calmly went to the inner room.
After sitting on the cattail hassock, he pressed his thumb and forefinger together and a water mirror appeared. With just a shake, it reflected the scene outside. When he saw the appearance of the person, he immediately recognized that this was the middle-aged Daoist who was chanting the scriptures the other day.
He thought that there were no grudges between them. But since this person had come to fight, there must be a reason. Now, the main thing was to deal with this matter first.
Seeing that the other party was controlling countless birds to attack the formation, one look and he knew that the other party was trying to exhaust the spiritual vigor in the formation. But this formation was set up as the formation of the Zhongshan Gate. If it was so easily broken, how would he dare to stay here?
But there was still a hidden danger here. He could deal with it now, but if the other party saw that ordinary methods could not break it, he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't use other methods. He had to consider the worst case scenario.
He pondered for a while. Because of the difference in skills, if the formation was broken, then he could only use the talisman given by his master to escape.
But he was ordered to come here by his master to wait for the fated person. If he used the talisman, he could escape, but he couldn't stay here anymore. But if that happened, he might not be able to fulfill his master's instructions.
In other words, if he didn't want to return empty-handed, he couldn't retreat now.
He understood that his master had sent him to the Lower Realm to find something, and at the same time, to wash away the karma that might be involved with him in the future.
If that was the case, this might be the tribulation that he had to go through.
Thinking of this, his expression slowly turned serious. He took out a stone ball from his sleeve and placed it on the center of the formation. With this object, he could at least reduce the external force by thirty percent. This way, he would be able to hold on for a longer time.
At this moment, in the sky, two deities appeared.
The Golden Armor Heavenly General on the left said, "Star Official Yu Chan, this cultivator seems to have come from Xuanyuan Heaven. Maybe he has some relationship with Lord Xuanyuan. Should we help him?"
Star Official Yu Chan said coldly, "This person is not in the Human Dao Domain, so he is not under our jurisdiction. We can only depend on his luck."
The Golden Armor Heavenly General said, "I see that this formation is very strong. The evil cultivator can't do anything to it. When his strength is exhausted, he will retreat."
Star Official Yu Chan said, "Although the formation is strong, it is still a dead object. As long as there is no way to counter it, it can only be used by the enemy. Since this evil cultivator can summon these ferocious birds, he can also find other helpers. If this cultivator is smart, he should find an opportunity to hide in Zhaoyuan. Then he might be able to escape."
The Golden Armor Heavenly General was stunned. He shook his head and said, "That's difficult. The difference in their cultivation is too big. If he can escape, how can he go into Qiong Mountain?"
Star Official Yu Chan said, "Then he can only blame his bad luck. This has nothing to do with us."
The middle-aged Daoist urged thousands of birds to attack the formation. After a few hours, he realized that the prohibition formation was not weakened at all. The amount of spiritual vigor that was depleted was replenished by the same amount. It was as if it was never depleted.
Seeing that this method was useless, he frowned and thought for a moment. He conjured a talisman and with a flick of his finger, it turned into a golden light and flew away.
He had a fellow cultivator hundreds of thousands of miles away. Even if he could not take down the formation alone, he did not believe that two people would not be able to do so.
As long as he did not let this person escape before he arrived, it would be fine.
Cen Xiao had been observing this person's movements through the water mirror. When he saw the golden light fly away, he immediately became alert. He guessed that this person was looking for help.
The key was that he had no way to counter it. The other party did not feel threatened and could continue attacking. He could even find more helpers.
However, it seemed that this was a dead end. Other than using the talisman to escape, there was no other way.
He did not panic. He was still calmly thinking of a solution. After a while, his eyes brightened. He stood up and walked out of the inner room to the side hall.
When Young Master Shuai saw him, he bowed and said, "Immortal Elder."
Cen Xiao said, "I'm afraid I have to trouble Young Master Shuai to do something."
Young Master Shuai's expression turned solemn. He said, "The people of the Contract Division value their words. Immortal Elder saved my brother. No matter what it is, even if I have to reclaim the sea or move the mountain, I will do it. Even if I lose my life, I will not complain."
Cen Xiao said, "There is no need for that. I have a question first. Why isn't the human domain outside of Qiong Mountain?"
Young Master Shuai was startled. He then sighed and said, "There is a pass on top of Qiong Mountain. Outside is a wasteland. There is no geographical advantage and no natural barriers. It is difficult to fight against demons and other races. That is why I gave it up."
Cen Xiao nodded. "Then how is it considered a human domain? How can it be considered? "
Young Master Shuai said without hesitation, "Stationing soldiers, paying tribute, setting up sacrifices. Two of these three, then erecting a monument to mark the boundary. That is our human domain."
Cen Xiao nodded and said, "Now I want to incorporate this hill under my feet into the human domain. Can Young Master Shuai do it?"
Young Master Shuai was startled. "Immortal Elder … why?"
Cen Xiao said, "I will explain this later. Can Young Master do it?"
Young Master Shuai said in a low voice, "I am the next clan leader, and I have brought over a hundred soldiers with me. We can be considered stationing soldiers. With us here, we can't pay tribute, so we can only set up sacrifices …"
Cen Xiao said, "That is easy." He waved his sleeves, and with a roll of smoke, a spell altar rose from the ground. He asked, "Will this work?"
Young Master Shuai saw this and said repeatedly, "Yes, yes. We can offer sacrifices to heaven and earth and the four Daoist Masters. Only the spell altar is not enough. We still need to sacrifice animals to make an oath. There is no such thing here."
Cen Xiao smiled, and with a turn of his mana, he set up the water mirror technique and said, "Is this enough?"
Young Master Shuai looked down and saw countless spiritual birds falling from the water mirror like rain. He couldn't help but stare dumbfounded. After a while, he came back to his senses and said, "Although these are not animals, they are ferocious birds from outside the realm. It is better. I will open the altar and offer sacrifices now."
The two gods outside were still watching the battle. They didn't care about Cen Xiao, but this demon's magic power was strong. They had to prevent it from affecting Qiong Mountain when it attacked.
But at this moment, the Golden Armored Deity let out a sound of surprise. He then praised and said, "Good technique, you can even use this method?" He turned and said, "Star Official Yu Chan, what do you think we should do now?"
Star Official Yu Chan said coldly, "This is already our human domain. With a big demon invading, I naturally can't just stand by and do nothing." After saying this, he shook his hand. Following the sound of chains, a golden light came from the sky and fell down.
The middle-aged Daoist was originally attacking the formation, but he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He looked up into the sky and his expression changed. He couldn't care about this anymore. He immediately turned into a three-headed golden eagle and escaped into the distance.
But he didn't go far. Suddenly, a golden flame sprinkled down from the sky. All the feathers on his body suddenly started burning, and he couldn't help but stop. The two golden lights caught up in the blink of an eye and tied him up. Then, with a drag, he was taken into the sky.
Cen Xiao took all of this into his eyes. At this moment, he felt his mind relax, and it was as if a layer of heavy wet clothes had been removed from his body. A wave of understanding couldn't help but surge into his heart. He hadn't retreated today and had schemed to capture this demon. He had already successfully avoided this calamity, and he wouldn't have to worry about his life for the time being.
