Peng He, Qing Shuzi, and the others also had a rather limited understanding of the geography of the area around Fangyuan Mountain. They had mostly heard about it.
Zhang Shuren, on the other hand, was different. He had been guarding this place and had even set up the Wutong Phoenix Perching Formation.
Zhang Shuren naturally had a good understanding of the flow of Spiritual Qi in the earth veins in the area.
There seemed to be a change in the flow of Spiritual Qi in the area of Dynasty River earlier, which caught his attention.
However, the changes at that time were relatively minor. Although Zhang Shuren could not see through it, the changes did not have much effect on the area around Mount Fang Yuan.
But at this moment, he could clearly feel that a huge change was happening in the distant Dynasty River's spiritual qi network.
Affected by this, the Spirit Qi flow of the entire Circumference Mountain changed drastically as well!
At this moment, the Wutong Phoenix Perching Array that he had set up was even faintly shaken.
No one broke the formation, but they were shaken.
This kind of situation was simply unimaginable most of the time.
Zhang Shuren fixed his eyes on the direction of the Chao River, only to see the dark yellow water rising, and for a moment, the turbid waves surged to the sky.
"The water of the Dynasty River has always been clear and bright. Why is it so turbid?" Zhang Shuren felt even more uneasy.
Qing Shuzi, Peng He, Daoist Leading Mist, Yuan Xiancheng, and the others all looked in the direction of that great river.
The Dynasty River was not a river of Circumference Mountain. Instead, it was a massive water vein that traversed the central Jun Heaven Territory and the southern Blazing Heaven Territory. It was wide as an ocean, resembling a heavenly river as it was renowned throughout the entire World beyond Worlds.
At this moment, when they saw the torrential turbid waves, everyone immediately felt that something was wrong.
"While that Yan Zhaoge possesses outstanding strength, he should still be unable to cause changes to the Dynasty River, right?" Peng He was rather hesitant.
Zhang Shuren said, "I'm not sure of the reason either, but it's most likely his doing. Not long after he left, I sensed that there was something wrong with the Spiritual Qi movement in the Dynasty River. It was just that it was too faint at the time. In order to secure the borders of Circumference Mountain and prevent the people from the southeast from arriving, I ignored it."
"But from the looks of it, it's really unusual!"
Hearing this, Peng He did not ask more questions and said directly, "Senior Brother Zhang, please continue to guard here, and I will go to check it out with the two Taoism fellows of Illusory Coming Peak."
However, before he could make a move, the dark yellow watery light in the distance had already rushed towards them!
The spirit qi fluctuations of Circumference Mountain were also getting increasingly chaotic and the signs of instability were intensifying rapidly!
However, as he spoke, the momentum of the water increased, and it was already in front of everyone.
Zhang Shuren's expression changed. "Even if he built a dam to store water, how would he be able to block such a vast river? Even if it succeeds, there won't be enough time for the water to reach here. "
"The speed at which the spiritual qi is changing is getting faster and faster. This … is definitely not caused by Yan Zhaoge's personal strength. Instead, it seems more like the activation of a formation!"
He didn't dare to hesitate. He first activated the Wutong Phoenix Perching Formation, and layers of flames lit up to resist the boundless and monstrous flood.
However, due to the terrain, the Wutong Phoenix Perching Formation was already unstable. Now that it was washed away by the flood, it was on the verge of collapse.
At this moment, the sea of fire was like a candle flickering in the wind.
Peng He and the others also hurried to help Zhang Shuren stabilize the formation.
But as soon as they came into contact with it, everyone felt their minds go into a trance.
The situation of the ninth level of the Martial Saint realm was still slightly better.
The others felt dizzy in an instant.
Even Daoist Leading Mist and Yuan Xiancheng who were at the eighth level of the Martial Saint realm shook slightly.
"Not good! Could it be … "Qing Shuzi's gaze suddenly narrowed.
He tried his best to ascend, only to see that above the rapidly approaching dark Yellow River, there were gusts of chilly wind!
As the chilly wind howled, black fog quickly suffused the area.
A moment earlier, the sun had still been shining high up in the sky. Now, however, it was obscured by the black fog as the light of the sky could not be seen.
It was fine if it was just the dark Yellow River water. Enveloped by that black fog and blown by the chilly wind, even with Qing Shuzi's cultivation base, he felt dizzy as though he was drunk.
He hurriedly calmed his mind, expanding his sleeve as he sucked in a greater part of the black fog of the chilly wind that surrounded him.
However, the chilly wind and black fog that suffused the dark Yellow River obscured the heavens and concealed the sun with no end in sight as it immediately swept over once more.
Qing Shuzi flicked his sleeve, shifting through space as he rapidly descended.
Down below, that dark Yellow River that resembled a natural disaster had virtually already devoured the entire Wutong forest.
The Riding Wind Heavenly Vessel truly played the role of a vessel at this moment as it bobbed on the surface of the great river.
Peng He was currently trying his best to stabilise the vessel as Zhang Shuren and the others had already boarded it.
Looking at the Wutong Phoenix Perching Formation down below that had been submerged, Zhang Shuren felt like crying yet no tears would come.
Now, Yan Zhaoge's voice simultaneously resounded between the heavens and the earth, amidst the black fog of the dark Yellow River wind all around them.
"Zhang Baowu, your Wutong Phoenix Perching Formation is indeed extraordinary," Yan Zhaoge smiled, "Courtesy demands reciprocation. You should try this Yan's formation as well."
Qing Shuzi landed back on the Riding Wind Heavenly Vessel, forcibly resisting the surrounding chilly wind and black fog.
He knit his brows tightly, "How does this person know this ancient, ferocious formation? Where did he obtain this legacy from?"
At this moment, other than Qing Shuzi, Zhang Shuren, Peng He, Daoist Leading Mist and Yuan Xiancheng who were still able to stand, the other martial practitioners of the south had all collapsed onto the deck of the Riding Wind Heavenly Vessel!
Everyone was in a daze as most of them were unconscious.
Even those few who could still maintain their consciousness had collapsed onto the ground, drowsy and drowsy as well.
"Ancient, ferocious formation?"
Zhang Shuren barely managed to hold on as he looked at his fellow disciples who had all fainted before him, then at that dark yellow river that meandered nine times, nether winds blowing endlessly above it as black fog obscured the heavens.
"Nine Bends Yellow River Formation?!"
When the nearby Daoist Leading Mist heard Qing Shuzi's words, he seemed to have thought of something as well and spoke in unison with Zhang Shuren. He couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.
Peng He and Yuan Xiancheng reacted at the same time and turned pale with fright.
The Nine Bends Yellow River Formation originated from the Prime Clear Sect's Ancestor, the Lord of Numinous Treasure's direct lineage, the Three Immortal Island's Cloud Sky, Jade Sky, and Jade Sky.
According to ancient legends, in the Investiture of the Gods Era, it had shone brilliantly. It was unknown how many legends and immortals had fallen to this formation.
After the Three Sky Goddesses were conferred as gods and entered the Heavenly Court, the Yellow River of the Nine Bends Formation was also spread to the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace.
There was a complete formation diagram in the library.
For Yan Zhaoge to circulate the entire Dynasty River in order to establish a formation was still impossible.
However, he could change the flow of the Dynasty River within Circumference Mountain, causing the legendary Nine Bends of the Yellow River to reappear in the world.
Its might was naturally far inferior to the grand formation set up by the Three Sky Goddesses of the Era of the Gods. It lacked the Immortal Bewitching Pill, the Secluded Immortal Mantra, and other cores, so it could only be considered as having the form of the formation.
There was also no legendary treasure, the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice.
Still, the person he was going to deal with now was also far from being a bigwig of those legends.
Qing Shuzi and Zhang Shuren exchanged glances, smiling bitterly at the same time.
"Dynasty River, Dynasty River … Dynasty River!" Zhang Shuren sighed towards the heavens.
Circumference Mountain was not his, Zhang Shuren's, geographical advantage. It was not his, Zhang Shuren's, home ground!
Yan Zhaoge was currently seated in the meditative position above the Nine Bends of the Yellow River, calmly looking at the surging waves and dissipating clouds before him, "Of course I know that your Wutong Slope has stationed a large number of troops here at the border of Circumference Mountain."
"Still, it is fine if I cannot reach Circumference Mountain. Still, from the moment I set foot on Circumference Mountain, this has already been my territory."
