In the extreme west of the Divine Prefecture, there was a mountain called Jade Cauldron that belonged to the Kunlun Mountains. In ancient times, many Immortal Sages had cultivated here, leaving behind countless caves and ruins. Before the descent of the Nine Coffins, this place, where the dragon vein of Kunlun flowed for millions of li, had always been regarded as the place with the most immortal destiny. For example, the current Yaochi and Fuyao Palace had obtained the inheritance left behind by the ancient Yaochi clan after they ascended. In this way, Fuyao Palace could truly be said to be the Daoist orthodoxy that had encountered the most great fortune since ancient times …
Today, the Kunlun Mountain Range had been explored and searched by countless cultivators. Most of the ancient immortal caves hidden in the mountains and rivers had been raided by people. The treasures inside had been swept away, but some remnants of the ancient formations were left behind. Because of the vigorous spirit veins of the Kunlun Mountain Range, these remnants of the ancient formations were still intact after thousands of years. Many of them were still operating. These remnants of the ancient formations were the greatest obstacles and dangers for the cultivators in the past when they were searching for opportunities. However, when the catastrophe came, they became a shelter.
When the Divine race descended upon the Heaven's Origin and wantonly slaughtered, rivers of blood flowing wherever they passed. Countless Heaven's Origin cultivators had sought refuge in the boundless Kunlun Mountains, borrowing the remnants of the ancient Immortal formations to resist the Divine race. This method was truly quite effective. The Divine race was not skilled in formations and only knew how to attack head-on, so they really did suffer in front of these remnants of formations and were unable to penetrate deeper.
In the Kunlun Mountains, the most famous formation was the Void Trap Formation of Jade Cauldron Mountain. It covered tens of thousands of li and grew endlessly. Although no one had maintained it for tens of thousands of years, it still relied on the power of the underground spirit vein to operate. It was said that several hundred years ago, Yaochi disciples had wanted to dismantle this formation, but because dismantling it was too complicated, they had left it behind. This inadvertent action had actually helped Zhu Xiu greatly. Countless cultivators who had fled to the west of the Divine Prefecture had taken refuge in this great formation, and word of mouth had spread, turning it into a forbidden zone.
Of the Nine Great Forbidden Zones of the Heaven's Origin, this place was ranked eighth, only above the giant turtle that had fled into the deep sea.
And the target of Zhao Yatong, Zhangsun Qingliu, and the others who had submitted to the Divine race was precisely this place!
A group of people marched towards the Jade Cauldron Mountain in the Divine Land. When they were ten thousand miles away, they chose a place called Yue Miao Mountain and stationed themselves there. Then, they were assigned tasks. The group of people was divided into ten teams, each led by a master whose cultivation was no weaker than the Yuanying State. They circled around the Jade Cauldron Mountain in batches. The order was orderly, and the hierarchy was clear. Obviously, the person who gave the orders was quite capable.
"The son of the Central Region's Zhao Clan, Zhao Yatong, has come to request an audience with the lord of the forbidden region. Please inform him!"
Of the ten groups that had split off, one was led by Zhao Yatong. They went straight to Jade Cauldron Mountain and shouted into the mountain. At this time, they were all in disguise. Their clothes were tattered and riddled with wounds. They seemed like defeated soldiers who had fought their way here. Zhao Yatong was also dressed in red armor and wielded a Red Tasseled Silver Spear. Her body seethed with sorrow.
"Zhao Yatong? Is it the Young Master Red Embellishment of the Central Region's Four Young Masters? "
There were people on duty at Jade Cauldron Mountain. When they heard Zhao Yatong introduce herself, they were shocked.
"That's me!"
Zhao Yatong shouted. "Please inform the master of the forbidden zone that I may temporarily borrow this precious land to avoid pursuit!"
"Young Master Red Embellishment, please wait a moment!"
The people within Jade Cauldron Mountain were very polite. After a hurried shout, they disappeared, presumably returning to report. Not long after, a beam of divine light flew from Jade Cauldron Mountain to the mountain gate. It was a middle-aged cultivator wearing an apricot-yellow Daoist robe. He hurriedly glanced outside the mountain gate and shouted, "Is this really Young Master Red Embellishment? Don't blame me for my rudeness. Do you have a way to prove your identity? "
"This Silver Spear in my hand is proof!"
Zhao Yatong did not reply. He threw the Silver Spear into the air, and the red tassels on the spear immediately scattered. The body of the spear twisted, transforming into a strange dragon with white scales and a red beard. It roared as it circled in the air and returned to his hand, transforming back into the Red Tasseled Silver Spear. This was the weapon that had made him famous. The people within Jade Cauldron Mountain immediately believed him.
"As expected of General Red Embellishment. This method of controlling a divine weapon cannot be imitated by others!"
The middle-aged Daoist cupped his fists and bowed, but he still did not open the gate. He hesitantly asked, "But where did General Red Embellishment come from?"
"I came from the Pure Lands in search of my younger sister, but I encountered the Divine race. I fought my way here and fled!"
Zhao Yatong's expression did not change. She had clearly come up with a plan and smoothly responded.
The middle-aged Daoist was extremely cautious. He asked many questions, and after Zhao Yatong answered them one by one, he gradually began to believe her. Moreover, the Eight Great Clans of the Central Region truly had a resounding reputation, and Zhao Yatong was a heaven's pride of the Divine Prefecture. Moreover, she had already proven her identity. After a few questions, the middle-aged Daoist's suspicions were dispelled. He took out a command flag and tossed it into the air, ordering people to open the array gate and let them in.
Of course, everything had gone so smoothly because Zhao Yatong had a good reputation. If it had been Fang Xing, things might not have gone so smoothly.
"With General Red Embellishment here, my Jade Cauldron Mountain has gained a bit more ability to protect itself. Please come in and chat!"
The middle-aged Daoist was extremely polite. He was only a Yuanying cultivator, and he had previously been an elder of a second-rate Daoist sect. After fleeing here, because he was skilled in array techniques, he had repaired the Ten Directions Remnant Array and protected the several thousand cultivators of Jade Cauldron Mountain. Instead, he had become the leader of Jade Cauldron Mountain's forbidden zone. Now, he even had a chance to befriend a formerly lofty and important figure like Zhao Yatong, so he was naturally excited.
"Well said!"
After entering Jade Cauldron Mountain's array, Zhao Yatong carefully examined it and then nodded. "Let's do something first!"
"What is it?"
The middle-aged Daoist asked with a frown.
Zhao Yatong turned around, sighed, and whispered, "My apologies!"
The middle-aged Daoist was even more confused by these words. He wanted to say more, but he suddenly saw Zhao Yatong raise the Red Embellishment Silver Spear in her hand. In a flash, it unleashed a majestic silver light, the silhouette of a dragon filling the sky, and killing intent surged. In a flash, the spear had pierced through the middle-aged Daoist's abdomen and then lifted him up. With a shake of the spear, a rain of blood rained down …
This action took everyone on Jade Cauldron Mountain by surprise, and they all stared in shock at Zhao Yatong.
"You … why did you …"
The middle-aged Daoist's body was already torn apart, but he was still a Yuanying cultivator, so he did not immediately die.
"We all serve our masters. Don't blame Hongying for being rude!"
Zhao Yatong sighed. Her silver spear jabbed out again, bringing with it a vicious gale as it stabbed at the middle-aged Daoist's head.
Although the middle-aged Daoist was a Yuanying cultivator, one level higher than Zhao Yatong, he was skilled in array techniques. Meanwhile, Zhao Yatong was a battle cultivator that the Zhao Clan of the Eight Great Families had spent countless efforts to raise. Moreover, she had long since stepped into the Self Severing realm and possessed terrifying strength. Coupled with her surprise attack, she had heavily wounded the middle-aged Daoist, leaving this Yuanying cultivator without a chance to retaliate!
Squelch …
The middle-aged Daoist's head exploded, and even as it exploded, his face still carried a look of shock.
"Kill!"
Following Zhao Yatong's attack, the group of people she had brought in also took off their cloaks, took out their magical treasures, and charged at the fleeing cultivators of Jade Cauldron Mountain who had yet to react. Each of them had savage techniques and profound strength. Although there were only ten-some of them, their ferocious auras threw the unprepared cultivators of Jade Cauldron Mountain into chaos and chaos.
"Now is the time to break the formation!"
At the same time, outside of Jade Tripod Mountain, in the Cloud Forest, several groups of people suddenly flew out. With the appearance of a flag in the air, they received orders and flew towards the sky above Jade Tripod Mountain. Among them, eight groups of people rushed to a corner and used various dharma treasures to push the array formation. Then, they used talismans to break the array formation and gradually cut off the power of the array formation. Another group of people flew in the air and continuously transmitted information between the people in charge of the array formation doors to each other. The division of labor was clear, but there was no chaos at all …
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the sky above Jade Cauldron Mountain, multicolored light appeared and flickered, but it was quickly suppressed.
Amidst the chaos within Jade Cauldron Mountain, some people had long since realized the truth of the matter and rushed out in panic. Some people yelled for the formation gates to be reorganized to kill the intruders, while others yelled for the formation gates to be maintained to prevent them from being broken!
Alas, all of this was within the calculations of Zhao Yatong and the others. Zhao Yatong had deceived the formation gates and escaped into the mountain precisely for this purpose. His strength was terrifying, and the Red Embellished Silver Spear in his hand had long ago transformed into a strange silver-scaled dragon that danced in his hand. Wherever it passed, all the cultivators gathered within the mountain were scattered by him. Blood flowed like lava and severed limbs piled up like mountains.
Because the people within Jade Cauldron Mountain had lost the middle-aged Daoist priest's command, their reactions were extremely slow and chaotic. This, coupled with Zhao Yatong's killing charge, infuriated them all. In such chaos, they could not even maintain the formation. For a moment, it was the outsiders who were breaking the formation. Zhao Yatong's extraordinariness was evident. He had practically relied on his own strength to throw Jade Cauldron Mountain into chaos. Whether it was the people trying to stop him or the people maintaining the formation, he had killed them all.
"Haha, Elder Brother Hongying is truly extraordinary. With his ability, once he forms an Immortal Nascent, he might not necessarily lose to that demon!"
In the midst of the slaughter below, there were still a few people quietly standing in the clouds outside Jade Cauldron Mountain. They had not taken action, only controlling the battle. One of them was the goddess of the Zhangsun clan, Zhangsun Qingliu. The more she watched, the more delighted she became.
"Once he achieves a great merit, what difficulty is there in helping him reach a higher level?"
Next to Zhangsun Qingliu was a black-robed, black-haired man with eyes like distant stars. He was the successor of the Small Immortal Realm, Xiong Dao.
"Haha, in at most an incense stick's worth of time, this forbidden zone will be broken. Isn't that a great merit?"
Zhangsun Qingliu smiled mischievously as she heard this. She winked mischievously as if asking for credit.
"Hah, it is!"
The successor of the Small Immortal Realm, Xiong Dao, also faintly smiled, then said, "The next forbidden zone will depend on your performance!"
"No problem, when the time comes, I'll let you see the mystiques of our Zhangsun clan!"
The two spoke in low voices, already disinclined to glance at the battlefield below. Victory had already been decided.
But what they didn't expect was that there were two little tails following them from the Pilgrimage Mountain all the way here. At this moment, they were hidden in the clouds not far from them, and a pair of bright eyes were staring down at them!
