When Yan Di and the Devil Saint Yuan Tian arrived in the foreign dimension above Broad Creed Mountain, Broad Creed Mountain's guardian grand formation was instantly activated.
With Broad Creed Mountain's main peak, the Heaven Rising Peak, as their centre, numerous spirit patterns resembled long rainbows streaking through the sky as they lit up in the surroundings of Broad Creed Mountain, coming together to form a vast, massive formation.
The array continued to extend into the distance, and there was no end to it.
Directly above the Heaven Rising Peak, the space shook slightly, an almost transparent massive cube appearing, its circumference unknown, thousands of times larger than even the entire Broad Creed Mountain, filling the sky.
After appearing for a split second, the square became transparent again, and could not be seen by the naked eye.
At the top of Gantian Peak, two old men looked up at the sky. With their cultivation, they could see what was going on.
These two were precisely the two longtime Elders of Broad Creed Mountain, the Grand Elder Zhang Kun and the First Seat Elder of the Martial Repository, Xin Dongping.
Of Broad Creed Mountain's three Transcending Mortality Martial Grandmasters other than the old Chief, Yuan Zhengfeng, and the other Grand Elder, Elder He, who was guarding Yuan Zhengfeng in seclusion, the other two were all here.
Elder Zhang stared at the sky and muttered to himself, "It really is the Demon Saint Yuan Tian! Yan Di actually shifted him into the Clear Qi Grand Formation from the outside world. First not mentioning how he did it, this is just too risky. Bringing a Martial Saint enemy into the core territory of our lineage, this is going to be a battle to the death! "
Xin Dongping similarly looked at the sky, not speaking.
Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di being able to teleport the Devil Saint Yuan Tian back to Broad Creed Mountain was also completely out of his expectations.
Yan Di's return was much earlier than he had expected.
However, not only had Yan Di returned himself, he had also brought the Devil Saint Yuan Tian along with him. He was still being held back by Yuan Tian, unable to do anything else.
As Xin Dongping pondered, he tapped lightly with his feet, activating the Clear Qi Grand Formation that had created that foreign dimension.
In front of him and Elder Zhang, an illusion of light and shadow appeared. Within the illusion was the scene of the foreign dimension.
Afterwards, the two shockingly discovered that the Clear Qi Robed Yan Di's sabre-intent rampaged as he looked down on all lifeforms, actually suppressing the Martial Saint Yuan Tian into a disadvantageous position!
Now that he had occupied the advantage of the Grand Clear lineage, Yan Di's strength had skyrocketed once more!
In order to guard against external enemies, Yan Di had not completely drawn on the full power of the grand formation, instead stabilising the foreign dimension and trapping Yuan Tian within.
Even so, the Heavenly Dragon Saber in his hand was still able to force Yuan Tian to retreat.
The dignified Demon Saint was in such a sorry state!
Since Yuan Tian had ascended to the Saint Realm, when had he ever been in such a panic?
Elder Zhang took a deep breath and said, "If we can stabilize the situation in a short time and kill the Devil Saint here, it's not impossible."
Xin Dongping looked at this scene. After a long while, he said, "That's right. However, the shorter the time, the better. The longer it drags on, the more variables there will be."
Before his words had landed, the Broad Creed Mountain beneath their feet suddenly seemed to shake.
Elder Zhang's snow-white eyebrows furrowed as he looked in the direction of the Water Ridge Peak. "… Is it the Heaven Sealing Gorge?"
In the direction of Water Ridge Peak, quakes that resembled the quaking of the earth and mountains resounded, with even the entire Broad Creed Mountain seeming to be shaking along with it.
"With junior apprentice-brother Gong presiding over the Heaven Sealing Gorge, why would a change suddenly occur in the Heaven Sealing Gorge?" Elder Zhang gazed at Water Ridge Peak.
Beside him, Xin Dongping's expression was calm. "Whatever the reason, it has to be resolved as soon as possible."
"Fang Zhun's whereabouts are unknown. No one knows what he has gone to do." Xin Dongping said, "While it is still hard to come to a conclusion now, we should still be mentally prepared for some things."
He looked at Elder Zhang. "Junior apprentice-brother Gong included, the others are not Fang Zhun's match. One of us should go over and take a look. The other will stay here and hold down the fort."
Elder Zhang looked earnestly at Xin Dongping. Xin Dongping's gaze was calm and without ripples, resembling still water, not changing in the slightest.
Because of the relationship between the Nine Underworlds and the Decimating Abyss, of the peak experts of Broad Creed Mountain, excluding the old Chief Yuan Zhengfeng, the ones he felt the most uneasy about were Xin Dongping and Fang Zhun.
Elder Zhang and Xin Dongping had been fellow disciples of the same clan for many years. While he was unwilling to suspect this senior apprentice-brother of his, it was not that he did not hold any grudges against him.
Seeing Xin Dongping's manner of avoiding suspicion, letting him make the decision, Elder Zhang pondered for a moment before deciding decisively, "I'll have to trouble senior apprentice-brother Xin to hold down the fort here. I'll go take a look at the situation over there."
Currently, Fang Zhun was still the greatest suspect. Pressed for time and limited manpower, Elder Zhang still decided to believe in Xin Dongping.
However, he also kept an eye on him.
Leaving Xin Dongping to roam freely without anyone restricting him, other things aside, if Xin Dongping really did have a problem and went to the back mountain, slipping off to where Yuan Zhengfeng was in secluded cultivation, it would not be easy for Elder He to stand guard there alone.
Leaving Xin Dongping behind at the Heaven Rising Peak seemed to be overseeing the overall situation, but as long as the Clear Qi Grand Formation remained in his hands, there would not be any major problems.
If he went to the back mountain, if Xin Dongping went there to cause trouble, he would be able to join hands with Elder He to try and stop him.
Xin Dongping seemed not to care about Elder Zhang's thoughts, nodding upon hearing his words, "Alright, go and return quickly."
Looking at Elder Zhang's departing figure, Xin Dongping's expression was gentle as he swivelled his head to look up into the sky once more.
He lowered his head to look at Broad Creed Mountain beneath his feet, his gaze fluctuating slightly.
After a while, Xin Dongping shook his head, smiling as he turned in the direction of Water Ridge Peak.
There, a sword-intent that surged to the heavens suddenly surged, at the same time also a powerful palm-intent that seemed to want to overturn the heavens. The two collided, shocking the heavens and shaking the earth.
Seeing this, Xin Dongping nodded slightly, no longer remaining as he rose into the air, treading on the air as he walked up into the sky.
As he walked, he extended his hand and drew one spirit pattern after another within the air.
Tens of thousands of spirit patterns were inscribed within the air, glowing brightly, gradually forming a formation as they manifested a shocking concept and aura.
The formation formed of these tens of thousands of spirit patterns gradually merged into Broad Creed Mountain's Clear Qi Grand Formation.
The core of the Clear Qi Grand Formation instantly began to distort and shake.
Looking quietly at this scene, Xin Dongping's figure shook, the acupoints of his entire body pulsing as spirit talismans formed of his true essence flew out one after another, innumerable in number.
These spirit talismans transformed into spirit arrays one after another, before the spirit arrays merged together, forming an existence that resembled a tall tower whilst also an altar that enveloped Xin Dongping's entire body.
Finally, atop that altar, light flickered, a tall giant appearing, towering between the heavens and the earth!
Xin Dongping himself extended his hands, that giant of light also doing the same, extending its hands forward, before forcefully splitting them apart!
The Clear Qi Grand Formation shook, a door appearing within the formation.
Within the sky, that massive, transparent square appeared once more.
The passageway to the foreign dimension opened for Xin Dongping!
However, it was not Yan Di who had opened the door for Xin Dongping, asking him to enter and help him. Rather, it was Xin Dongping himself who had opened the passageway.
Xin Dongping walked in with large strides. In this process, he continuously wrote down talisman seal patterns, and then guided the power of the formation to strengthen himself.
Other than his own formation, even the power of Broad Creed Mountain's Clear Qi Grand Formation was unceasingly drawn by him!
Within the foreign dimension, hacking Yuan Tian into retreat with a sabre, Yan Di swivelled his head to look at Xin Dongping.
He could clearly feel that the other party was currently gradually seizing control over the Clear Qi Grand Formation!
Xin Dongping said mildly, "Enduring bitterly for so many years in the Martial Repository, preparing so painstakingly for so many years, I finally have some results."
