Tenth of October, Mount Kunlun.
On top of the mountain, all parties moved.
If there really was a creator above the Nine Heavens who looked down on everything, he would see the boundless Kunlun stretching from east to west like a Snow Dragon that had lain dormant for a thousand years. And now, the Hidden Dragon was about to awaken!
Five groups of people approached from different directions. Like sharp knives, they pierced towards the chest of the Snow Dragon. Since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the largest and most tragic battle in the cultivation world had erupted here and now. The result of this battle was that if they won, Kunlun would be stained with blood. If they lost, Kunlun would also be stained with blood.
The Creator probably couldn't bear to see the last piece of pure white mountain scenery being tarnished. He tore down a piece of white cloud, crushed it, and threw it down, trying to cover the blood stain. However, it was soon frozen by the cold and murderous fighting spirit, turning into snow and falling down.
Before the first snowflake landed, Xu Tingxian had already arrived at the border town of Kunlun. This was the trading station on the southwest side of the mountain of Wanxiang Heavenly Palace. The merchants and herdsmen at the foot of the mountain would transport goods to Kunlun during spring and summer. They would trade here until the winter snow sealed the mountain before leaving. Ever since the fall of Wanxiang Heavenly Palace, this trading station had been abandoned for a long time. But today, there was smoke rising from a stove.
In a pavilion in the middle of the town, a middle-aged man dressed in noble clothing sat gracefully. He was boiling snow on a red stove and warming wine. It was the Path Master of Mortal, Yan Shiyuan. "The weather is cold and the road is long. Master Xu and everyone else have come from afar. As the host, I invited everyone to drink with me. But this pot is far from enough …"
Yan Shiyuan was alone. In front of Yan Shiyuan were Xu Tingxian, Luo Xiaoyi, and the scholars of the Splendid Confucian House, as well as the few elites of the Exquisite Treasure Pavilion led by Zhang Guanqing.
Before Yan Shiyuan had finished speaking, he saw a swift feather pierce through the air. Luo Xiaoyi drew his bow and shot an arrow towards Yan Shiyuan. But the arrow only passed through his body. Yan Shiyuan's actions of warming the wine did not slow at all.
Xu Tingxian stopped Luo Xiaoyi's bow and smiled. "Branch Leader Luo, you still do not understand Path Master Yan. With his courage, if it was not an illusion, how would he dare to meet us alone?"
Yan Shiyuan didn't mind the sarcasm and replied, "I didn't expect the leader to be Young Master Xu. I wonder if Young Master Xu has the guts to come forward again, whether it's drinking or killing me."
"This … Actually, I really don't dare …" Xu Tingxian secretly sighed in his heart. He couldn't help but recall the painful experience when he was forced to lead the army here.

Seven days ago, on Mount Qingcheng.
Before the march, Su Miaoyin invited Xu Tingxian and other elites of various sects to gather in the main hall of Qingcheng, announcing the strategy of the decisive battle against Kunlun.
She faced the sand table. Every small flag in her hand represented a power. The complicated relationships were neatly sorted out in her mind. "… That's roughly it. Because Di Lingtian's Pure Heaven Ritual is about to start, we don't have time to gather more people. So, the main force to attack Kunlun this time is still the Buddhist Heart Monastery, Spring and Autumn Sword Tower, Glorious Scholarly Palace, Righteous Sky Alliance, and our Udumbara Pure Sect. Fortunately, the other sects of the ten great sects have also gotten in touch with me. Although they don't have time to send their armies, they can still send a small number of elites to help. So, in terms of numbers and combat power, we have the absolute advantage. But Kunlun is easy to defend and hard to attack. Moreover, the Six Paths of Evil Destruction has the biggest reliance — the Six Paths of Reincarnation Formation … "
After saying that, he turned his gaze to Ji Fengming. Ji Fengming's expression was solemn as she explained, "It's not that I'm overestimating others' morale but the Six Paths of Reincarnation Formation is one of the best formations in the world. It can be said to be full of the wonders of reincarnation and the creation of heaven and earth. Once the formation is activated, our advantage in numbers and combat power will be reversed in an instant. I'm not talented. Although I've peeked at the Six Paths of Reincarnation Formation and studied it with my master, even now, I only understand 30% to 20% of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Formation. So, it's hard for me to say what I'm going to say next …"
"30% to 20% is already very powerful!" Xu Tingxian exclaimed in his heart. He sighed in admiration of the Myriad Heavenly Palace's knowledge of formations. The terror of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Formation didn't need Ji Fengming to remind him again. In a thousand years of history, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Formation, no, even every small formation, was a disaster every time it appeared. The Hall of Virtue, the Correspondence Academy, the Magic Mirror Sect … Countless glorious sects in the past all used their destruction as proof of the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Formation.
Ji Fengming had only peeked at the incomplete Six Paths of Reincarnation Formation. Wei Wushuang, who had just been released from the stone seal and had yet to recover her combat power, had only listened to Ji Fengming's explanation. The two of them had worked together to understand 20% to 30% of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Formation …
Xu Tingxian was just about to say a few words of praise when he heard a valiant female voice coming from behind him. "In the matters of the world, no one will wait until they are 100% confident before they do it. Since we are here, we all have the courage to shoulder this responsibility. Feel free to tell us what you know!"
These words were said with a heroic spirit that reached the clouds. There was an air of heroism that was not inferior to men. Xu Tingxian didn't need to turn his head to know that the speaker was the archery master of the Six Arts of Confucianism, Luo Xiaoyi. He immediately swallowed the dry flattery that had reached his throat.
Ji Fengming cupped her fists and said, "Thank you for your trust, Altar Master Luo. Then I will say everything I know. No matter how powerful the Six Paths of Reincarnation Formation is, it still can't escape the boundaries of formations. All formations in the world have formation eyes. Breaking the formation eyes will always be the most direct way to break a formation."
Buddha Heart Monastery's Great Compassion King Ming's expression changed when he heard this. He asked, "Almsgiver Ji knows where the formation eyes are?"
Ji Fengming shook her head and said with a bitter smile, "This is the difficulty. The Six Paths of Reincarnation Formation is formed by six separate small formations, so there are a total of six formation eyes. Furthermore, the formation eyes of each small formation don't have a fixed position. Instead, they circulate and change endlessly. I once captured the formation eyes briefly when I was peeking at the formation, but it was only for a moment. In the next moment, I couldn't find any traces. Therefore, if you want to find the formation eyes, you can't search blindly.
"Oh? How do you make the formation eyes appear on their own? "Senior Sister Xin Qinghui of the Udumbara Pure Sect couldn't help but ask.
Ji Fengming cupped her fists and bowed to the crowd. "There is no better way. I can only invite everyone to enter the formation and exhaust the formation's energy as much as possible. The formation eyes are the weak points, but also the core. The more the formation's spiritual energy is consumed, the more spiritual energy the formation eyes will send to maintain the formation. As time goes by, the spiritual energy used to change the position of the formation eyes will naturally decrease, and that will be the time for the formation eyes to appear."
Xin Qinghui frowned and said, "But we don't have Senior Brother Ji's attainments in formations. Even if we can really force the formation eyes to appear, we may not be able to detect it immediately."
"That is not a problem. Since the Six Paths of Evil Destruction is forcefully absorbing the earth veins, I can take the opportunity to open the altar and use the flow of the earth veins to sense the changes in the formation. Once I find the formation eyes, I will immediately contact you through the earth veins." After clearing the doubts, Ji Fengming continued, "According to my observation, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Array is integrated with each other. If any small array is broken, it will affect the stability of the formation. If three of the six arrays are broken, the entire Six Paths of Reincarnation Array will collapse."
Everyone's expression changed as they realized that this was the key point. Su Miaoyin continued to conclude, "Therefore, this time, the six of us will enter the formation and ensure that three of the six arrays are broken. As long as the Six Paths of Reincarnation Array collapses, the Six Paths of Evil Destruction will no longer have to fear!"
"Since the six of us can break three of the six arrays, why do we need to enter the formation from six sides? Instead of attacking all six, we will be weak if our strength is divided. Why don't we focus on the three sides that we want to break? "At this moment, a cold and hard voice was heard. It was the Sword Sovereign, Yue Cang Qiong.
Yue Cang Qiong stood at the doorstep and looked outside with his hands clasped behind his back. Even though they were discussing the battle strategy together, he seemed to be alone.
Ji Fengming then explained, "The magic of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Array lies in the word 'reincarnation'. All six arrays must be controlled by someone at the same time. Otherwise, the spiritual power will flow between the arrays and even blend with each other to increase its power. This will make it ten times more difficult for the Array Eye to appear. Therefore, we can't focus on three of them. We can only use the method of attacking all six simultaneously."
"I understand. Then I will break one of them. You can do as you please," Yue Cang Qiong said coldly. Then, he stepped out of the door and stopped listening to the subsequent arrangements.
His words were full of domineering confidence that no matter which array he was assigned to, he would be invincible.
Xu Tingxian was so excited that he wanted to shout on the spot, "I will also break one of them. You can do as you please."
Fortunately, he restrained himself in time … No, he couldn't let it get to his head!
Six sides enter the formation and attack three of them. Those who could be in charge of the main attack must be elites.
The Sword Emperor dared to shout like this because he had a peerless cultivation base and the support of the Spring and Autumn Sword Tower's experts.
Therefore, Xu Tingxian shrunk his neck back.
But at this moment, he felt two gazes on him. An ominous premonition arose spontaneously.
"It would be best if the Sword Emperor took one of them. As for the remaining two main attack points … The Human Path's Dao Master, Yan Shiyuan, is Di Lingtian's trusted aide. He once killed Di Lingtian and brought him back to life. Di Lingtian is the main evil and the Human Path is the biggest accomplice. In order to cut off Di Lingtian's wings, the Human Path's array must be broken. Therefore, I hope that Young Master Xu Tingxian can lead the Huazhang Confucian House to break the Human Path's' Human Realm Dreamlike Array '!" That gaze came from Su Miaoyin. She looked at Xu Tingxian with a smile, her eyes full of expectation.
Knowing that it was definitely not a good thing to be targeted by Su Miaoyin, Xu Tingxian hurriedly wanted to shrink into the crowd. However, he was blocked by Luo Xiaoyi behind him. He could only evade, "I am still young and my cultivation base is shallow. How can I bear such a great responsibility? Even if the Huazhang Confucian House is the main attack, it should be led by Branch Leader Luo. "
However, Luo Xiaoyi said, "Young Master of the Confucian Sect who is proficient in the six arts, if you continue to belittle yourself, wouldn't it show that there is no one capable in the Confucian Sect?" As he spoke, he patted Xu Tingxian's shoulder. It was unknown whether it was to encourage him or to prevent him from running away.
Su Miaoyin continued to praise him. At the same time, she slowly walked towards Xu Tingxian and said, "Branch Leader Luo's archery skills are outstanding. Of course, I know that. However, asking Young Master Xu to lead the army, I have my own considerations. The Human Path's Dao Master, Yan Shiyuan, uses a magic weapon called the Enchanted Dream Ring. The silver rings echo with each other, and when they attack, they can bewitch the mind. They are indeed difficult to deal with. However, as the saying goes, 'If the sounds of nature can be heard by Xu Tingxian, how can the human world tolerate the crows and sparrows'? In terms of killing with sound, Young Master Xu is not inferior to anyone.
The more he listened to Su Miaoyin's praise, the more uneasy Xu Tingxian felt. Seeing that she was still walking closer, he hurriedly said, "Yan Shiyuan's ability is not limited to the Enchanted Dream Ring. With just me …"
However, Su Miaoyin didn't give him a chance to finish his sentence. She continued, "Other than the Huazhang Confucian Palace, the elites of the Exquisite Treasure Pavilion will also meet up with you and break the formation together."
At this moment, she had already approached Xu Tingxian's side. She suddenly lowered her voice, and a wisp of her voice, like a thread, was transmitted into Xu Tingxian's ears. "Moreover, I have a spy in the Human Path …"
- = -
A piercing pain came from his lower back, calling Xu Tingxian back from his memories. Xu Tingxian knew that this was because Luo Xiaoyi saw that he hadn't replied for a long time, and was afraid that he would reveal his fear.
"I don't dare, but I also don't dare to 'don't dare' …" Xu Tingxian secretly complained in his heart. However, with a wave of his sleeve, he displayed the magnanimous demeanor of a Confucian Sect's Young Master. "It would be impolite to refuse an invitation. I'll have to trouble Dao Master Yan to wait for a moment. I will enter the formation and kill you!" As he finished speaking, he led everyone forward.
"Young …" At this moment, the voice of the Exquisite Treasure Pavilion's shopkeeper, Zhang Guanqing, came from the side. Xu Tingxian turned his body to look. Zhang Guanqing's words slightly paused, and at the same time, he followed closely behind Xu Tingxian's footsteps. He took out a box from his bosom, and said, "It's a little less, but the Exquisite Treasure Pavilion has prepared some talismans and spiritual weapons. Please, Young Master Xu, bring them."
Xu Tingxian weighed it for a moment, and said, "It's quite heavy. You won't need money, right?"
Zhang Guanqing made a sweating gesture, and said awkwardly, "The Pavilion Master has instructed that this is a temporary loan. This is a small business, please forgive me."
Xu Tingxian laughed out loud. "Then I wouldn't dare to die inside. Otherwise, wouldn't I cause Shopkeeper Zhang to lose everything?"
As he spoke, his footsteps didn't stop, and he had already entered deep into the border town with everyone else.
At the same time that everyone entered the town, clouds curled up in spirals, and like a mirage, they unexpectedly transformed into countless bejeweled buildings and jade palaces, turning the dilapidated border town into a city in the human world.
The Dreamlike Formation of the Human World, activated!
