On the east side, Peng Yuzhou stood in a sea of fire that was a thousand feet in size. He looked very relaxed, but deep in his heart, he was unusually vigilant.
As far as the eye could see, he was surrounded by clouds of auspicious light. Colorful rainbows were spewing out from within, heavenly flowers were falling, and there were even clouds, dragons, and phoenixes flying among them.
Yuan Shen Gate was an expert in the art of illusion. He clearly knew that this was an illusion created by the opponent using mana and supernatural powers, but with his own senses, he could not tell that it was fake at all.
At this moment, there was a fragrant wind in the clouds, and countless brilliant flowers and leaves floated towards him.
However, before they could reach the sea of fire in front of him, they collided with an invisible spiritual vigor. It was as if they were being roasted by fire, and in an instant, they turned into black smoke and dispersed.
Peng Yuzhou's face was filled with mockery. What he learned was one of the five techniques of Qincang, the Red Cloud Lucky Jue Book. When he had cultivated this technique to such a level, his spiritual vigor could already change according to his heart. The sea of fire in front of him was just a deliberate display. Although it looked like it was only a thousand feet in radius, its spiritual vigor had already expanded to a distance of three miles.
At this moment, there was a sudden vibration of mana. He looked to the side and saw a silver ball coming from a thousand feet away. There was a ball of spiritual fire on it, and it actually broke through without any obstruction. He knew that this was not an illusion. He immediately waved his sleeve, and instantly, a breath entangled with the silver ball. The silver ball was immediately wrapped in a ball of flame, and in a few breaths, it turned into a ball of grey smoke and dispersed.
He sneered, "Ji Huanchen, if you still think that this is the only way to attack, then you have made me look down on you."
There was no reply from the sky. After a while, there was suddenly the sound of arrows piercing through the sky. There were endless whooshing sounds, and tens of thousands of golden arrows pierced through the clouds.
He snorted. As if he was a little impatient, he said, "Let's see how many instruments you have."
He took a light breath and blew outwards. The tens of thousands of light arrows suddenly combusted without any fire, and with a loud bang, they turned into ashes that filled the sky. A strong wind blew, and they disappeared without a trace.
Peng Yuzhou nodded his head in satisfaction. His breath of Haoyi Three Yang Qi was an invisible fire Qi. It touched a little. Like maggots in the tarsal bone, it continuously burned its spiritual vigor. If it could not be broken, it could even burn a high-grade profound instrument.
The only flaw of this supernatural power was. It was just that it consumed too much magic power. However, this flaw had already been made up for by the "Soul Restoring Pill" that Zhang Yan had given him. Now, he could unleash his divine arts without restraint.
However, even though it looked like he had the upper hand on the battlefield, ever since the start of the battle, he had been standing his ground. He had never taken the initiative to attack.
It wasn't that he didn't want to fight, but Ji Huan Chen was the eldest disciple of the Origin Mirage Gate. With such an identity, not to mention his Dao Arts and Divine Abilities, the most terrifying thing was that he definitely had a powerful Magic Treasure on him.
Although he was an elder of the Daylight Temple, he did not have the support of Daoist Paradise. He had only brought a few ordinary treasures with him, which could not compare to the other party.
He was worried that if he forced this person into a corner, once the other party used a True Artifact, he would definitely not be able to get away with it. Thus, he would rather be a bit more conservative in battle.
Ji Huanchen looked down calmly. After testing the waters a few times, he had a rough idea of his opponent's strength and techniques.
After calculating in his heart, with his Dao Arts and Magic Treasures, it wasn't that he didn't have a chance to kill this person, but the price to do so was extremely high. He would definitely be injured. In other words, he wouldn't be able to take down this person without paying a price.
As for the True Artifact that Peng Yuzhou guessed, he had indeed brought it with him this time, but he didn't want to use it unless it was a matter of life and death. Especially since he knew about Peng Yuzhou's past and judged that he didn't have the heart to fight to the death, there was even less of a need to use it.
Moreover, there was still Yang Poyu in the back of the formation. Even if the formation below was completely broken, it wouldn't be a big deal, as long as the opponent couldn't escape to help.
In this situation where both sides had the intention to avoid a battle to the death, the three battles in the field all fell into a stalemate.
On the west side, Du Shixun was leading a group of cultivators to attack the formation door.
This group of people were all cultivators of the Dong Sheng Continent, including Tang Jin, Song Chuyuan, and Daoist Nun Wei. There were a total of ten Yuanying cultivators, and their strength wasn't weak either. In just a short while, they consecutively broke through two formation diagrams.
However, when they arrived in front of the third formation diagram, the two people who went in to explore were killed in a short while, so they had no choice but to stop.
Daoist Nun Wei was about to enter the formation to try, but Tang Jin stopped her, saying, "Even though the magic power of those two Fellow Daoists is slightly inferior to ours, it's not too far off. There must be something strange in this formation, so before we can see through it, it's best not to rashly enter."
Song Chuyuan suggested, "Why don't we change our path?"
Tang Jin rejected, "Absolutely not, it's very likely that we'll lose our direction. That's fine, but if we meet a strong formation again, do you think we can still avoid it?"
At present, the Devil Sect's fifty or so formation diagrams were intertwined with each other, and there was formation qi and fog everywhere. With their ability, it was difficult for them to sense the location of the devil's cave.
And the path they were taking now was specially pointed out by the three Yuanying third stage cultivators. If they took a detour, it would be difficult to find the right path again.
At this moment, among the crowd, a short cultivator suddenly said, "Everyone, I have the 'Reincarnation Plate' with me, so I'm willing to enter and give it a try."
Everyone was startled, and they all looked over.
Du Shixun said, "I forgot that Fellow Daoist Ling has this magic treasure with you. That's fine too, I'll invite Fellow Daoist to take a look inside, but you must be careful. If it's not right, quickly retreat."
That short cultivator cupped his hands and said confidently, "Everyone, just wait and see."
He shook his sleeves and threw out a pair of Reincarnation Plates that were about a foot long. He chanted a few spells, and one of the Mysterious Jade Plates floated in the air without moving, while the other Green Jade Plate landed under his feet.
He cupped his hands and said, "Everyone, I'll be going now."
Taking a step, he landed on the Green Jade Plate, and his figure suddenly disappeared. Then, the Reincarnation Plate turned and flew into the formation.
His Reincarnation Plate was a pair, and the Green Jade Plate could hide his physical body within it. Even if he was attacked, as long as he was within ten thousand feet, he could instantly escape from the Yin Plate. Unless it was the Mountain Guarding Formation, he could freely enter and exit normal formations.
At this moment, there was a skeleton-like Daoren sitting in the formation. His skin and flesh were shriveled, and there was a ball of black energy between his brows. With one look, one could tell that his Essence Blood had been used up, and he was about to die.
His eyes were originally closed, but suddenly, the hanging bell in front of him rang, and he knew that someone had entered the formation. He slowly raised his eyelids and mocked, "A junior who doesn't know his place."
He reached out and pulled out the flag beside him, holding it in front of him. Then, he waved it and said, "Slash!"
The formation shook, and a white light shone down from above.
After that cultivator entered the formation, in order to find the core of the formation, he showed himself. At this moment, he saw the abnormality in the sky. His expression changed slightly. He hurriedly threw out a protective magic treasure, but who knew that it was useless. The white light actually passed through it without any obstruction.
He instantly panicked. He hurriedly made a spell. He was about to turn out of the formation door. Who knew that the white light would suddenly move, passing through his neck, and his head instantly rolled down. It landed on the plate, and a spiritual light rose up, then it suddenly disappeared. The corpse shook and fell forward, falling into the formation. The Life Protection Talisman on his body suddenly flashed, wrapping around the spirit and flying out of the formation.
That skinny Daoren had previously used a spell to absorb the spirit, but it was useless, so he didn't waste his energy. He shook the flag and sucked the corpse up. He used his mana and instantly, strands of Essence Blood flowed down and seeped into the altar. Then, he closed his eyes and sat down.
At this moment, outside the formation, the Xuan Jade Plate spun and spat out a spiritual light. When everyone saw it, they all said, "Fellow Daoist Ling is out."
However, just as they said that, a head flew out and rolled a few times on the ground before stopping. Daoist Ling's face was facing up, and there was still a trace of horror and fear on his face.
Everyone was shocked. Tang Jin sighed and took out a jade box. He took a few steps forward and put away the head, preparing to return it to his disciple.
He looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, Zhenren Han has made arrangements beforehand. If you encounter any problems with the formation, you can ask Elder Jia from his sect to come and take a look. He is proficient in formations and should be able to see through the formation."
Daoist Nun Wei was a bit unwilling and said, "Why do you have to do this? Let me go and break it."
Her words also made a few people nod. Although there were three ways to break the formation, they still wanted to compete with each other. They didn't want to be outdone by the Donghua Continent cultivators.
At this moment, Du Shixun said loudly, "I was entrusted by someone, so I have to do it. Face is a small matter, breaking the formation is the most important thing. Daoist Tang, quickly send a letter and ask Daoist Jia to come. This matter cannot be delayed."
Tang Jin nodded and quickly took out a talisman letter and sent it to the sky.
Not long after, they saw a white-haired Daoist holding a horsetail whisk floating over.
Everyone quickly went forward to greet him and explained the situation. Daoist Jia touched his beard and said, "Let me take a look."
He walked forward and looked for a while, then said, "This is the Array Diagram of Imperfections, a fearsome formation. The person who set up the formation needs to sacrifice his own life essence and blood to activate it, but there are many changes. This formation has seven entrances, and only one is the main entrance. If someone enters the wrong entrance, they will immediately be killed by the flying knives in the formation. If they enter the main entrance, the formation master will die on the spot, and the formation will be broken without being attacked."
Song Chuyuan hurriedly asked, "Elder Jia, where is the main entrance?"
Elder Jia shook his head and said, "This door can be changed by the formation master's heart. It is not easy to find."
Everyone looked at each other. So they couldn't find the main entrance?
Tang Jin, however, bowed and said, "Elder Jia, is there any other way to break the formation?"
Elder Jia nodded and said, "This formation is mysterious, but it is nothing more than a way to steal one's Qi. As long as you don't let it steal your Qi, you can enter any door."
"This …"
Everyone here, including Du Shixun, frowned. It was easy to seal one's Qi, but in that case, one would not be able to use mana or Daoist techniques. How could one win against the opponent?
Elder Jia Daoren said, "Fellow Daoists, please don't feel troubled. When I saw this formation, I thought of someone. One of the top ten disciples of my Qincang sect, Ning Chong Xuan, Zhenren Ning. He is proficient in the Cloud Thousand Sword Sutra and can steal the opponent's Qi and mana for his own use. He might be able to break this formation, but he is currently in the north. Daoren will send a letter and invite him over."
Then, he waved his horsetail whisk and sent a letter.
Not long after, a bright azure sword qi soared through the sky from the north and arrived in front of everyone in an instant. A cultivator in azure robes with a cold expression walked out from the light, and above him was a lustrous azure rainbow. Upon closer inspection, it seemed to be a longsword.
Everyone below, including Priestess Wei and the others, felt their hearts palpitate. When this person appeared, they felt that their Qi was faintly affected, as if they could not suppress it.
Ning Chong Xuan's gaze swept across everyone and only stopped for a moment on Du Shixun. He nodded at him and then leaped, turning into a green light and rushing into the formation.
