"You little bastard, you're so vicious …"
Luo Mu Sang's face paled in fright. He had thought that it was vicious enough for the brat to sever the connection between his and Granny Yao's puppet and the flag. If he hadn't used two talismans in a row, they would have been completely wiped out by now. He didn't expect the brat to do it again. He didn't have any talismans left. If he did it again, would he really lose his life in the Yellow Springs Sea?
Fortunately, due to the collapse of the formation's eye, the puppet's momentum was too fast. That was why after Fang Xing severed the connection between the puppet and the flag, they were able to fall far behind. However, the speed of the cultivators had been suppressed by Shi Nansha, so they weren't left behind. Shi Nansha quickly waved the flag a few times and reconnected it.
"We haven't even reached the mountain, and you're already fighting amongst yourselves?"
The purple-spotted old cultivator turned around and bellowed. His face was filled with rage.
If not for the fact that he was currently holding the Sword of Righteousness with both hands to suppress the surrounding Yin spirits, he would have already slashed at them.
Shi Nansha also shouted, "We're about to reach the other side. Don't cause any more trouble!"
"Hmph!"
Fang Xing was still fuming, his eyes fixed on Luo Mu Sang and Granny Yao.
Luo Mu Sang and Granny Yao were naturally filled with hatred as well. However, at this critical juncture, they didn't dare to act recklessly.
The group of cultivators continued forward. When they finally reached the other side, all of them jumped down from their puppets in a daze. Even though the journey wasn't far, it was still a terrifying one. This was especially so for those fellows. They actually dared to fight in the Yellow Springs Sea. Did they really not care about their own lives? After all, once they fell into the Yellow Springs Sea, even Yuanying cultivators would find it hard to survive …
"What are you looking at? I'll dig your eyeballs out!"
Seeing the hostile gazes of Luo Mu Sang and Granny Yao, Fang Xing cursed.
"Motherf * cker, a mere foundational cultivator dares to bully me?"
Luo Musang and Granny Yao were dismayed. As Golden Core Mahayana Stage cultivators, they could be said to be invincible in the human race in the Sinkhole. Yet, they had almost been killed by this brat in the Netherworld Sea. Now that they were ashore, he was threatening them before they could say anything. Needless to say, their anger had already reached its peak!
"Roar …"
Before the two of them could say anything, the crimson dragon roared again, its large eyes staring at their faces.
The man and the dragon both looked ferocious.
This caused Luo Musang and Granny Yao's hearts to tremble, and a deep sense of fear arose in their hearts.
Granny Yao had expended thirty years of her life force to perform the Secret Art of Worshipping the Moon, and her cultivation had yet to fully recover. Luo Musang had also been forced to use his three treasured talismans from the Divine Prefecture. They were at their weakest right now, and they really did not dare to provoke the crimson dragon. After all, the Holy Zhi Palace was right in front of them, and no one wanted anything to happen to them at such a crucial moment …
"Humph!"
The two of them looked at each other with grim expressions, as if they would remember this grudge, but they did not say anything.
On the other side, the eight Golden Core servants came over to thank Fang Xing. The eight of them naturally understood the dangers of the Netherworld Sea, and it was truly a matter of life and death. If not for Fang Xing's rescue, the eight of them would have died even if they had ten lives. This was a true feeling of surviving a disaster, but it also made them feel a sense of gratitude from the bottom of their hearts, diluting the resentment that Fang Xing had previously forced them to do such a dangerous thing.
"I don't care if you believe me or not. Just listen to me, I won't let you suffer!"
Fang Xing proudly showed off his position as the leader, and then waved his hand for them to investigate the surrounding terrain. At this time, the purple-spotted old cultivator from the Fengtian Clan, Shi Nansha from the Beast Tamer Clan, and the others had already started investigating as soon as they reached the shore. They were at the cliff of an indescribably majestic mountain, and in front of them was an ancient jade bridge.
On the other side of the cliff was a mountain of unknown height. It was vaguely the same mountain that Fang Xing and the other old cultivators had seen on the other side of the Netherworld Sea. However, now that they had arrived at the foot of the mountain, they increasingly felt that the mountain was even larger than they had imagined. It was almost like a pillar that pierced through the earth and the void. Looking up, there were white clouds, and they could not see the peak of the mountain.
The mountain gave them a feeling that they could climb along the mountain all the way to the Immortal Realm.
Between the cliff and the mountain was an abyss of unknown depth. The bottom could not be seen, and it was eerie and eerie.
In front of them was a jade bridge that was 99 zhang long. There were two stone pillars that were 99 zhang tall on one side of the bridge, and there were also two stone pillars that were also 99 zhang tall on the other side. There were four stone pillars that were more than 10 zhang thick at the front and back, and they were divided into four colors: green, red, white, and black. The four ferocious beasts, Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise, were engraved on them. They seemed to be guarding the front and back of the bridge.
It was unknown how many tens of thousands of years had passed, but the statues were still vivid and lifelike, staring coldly at the people from outside the mountain.
"Is this the Door of the Four Ferocious Beasts?"
Fang Xing thought to himself. Then, he used his transcendence vision to look inside the mountain, but he discovered that there seemed to be a forbidden formation blocking his view, so he could not see clearly.
When they were in the Three World Mountain, they could still vaguely see the dao palace and celestial scenery on the other side of the mountain. Now that they were closer, all they could see was a hazy fog. From this side of the cliff, all they could see was the mountain on the other side being enveloped by a profound and terrifying formation. If they wanted to fly over the abyss to reach the mountain, they would definitely collide with the formation and fall into the abyss.
The only way to reach the other side was this jade bridge. They could not pass through the bridge right now, because there was also a terrifyingly powerful formation blocking the way at the end of the bridge. The body of the bridge was extraordinary. The entire bridge was paved with white jade that contained spirit energy, and it was extremely luxurious. However, with the passage of time, this spotless jade had already become dim and grey, and it seemed to emit a grey and hazy aura of death.
After examining it for a while, the purple-spotted old cultivator called for the division leaders to discuss matters. Fang Xing was naturally among them. After the discussion, there was nothing new to say, but they distributed tasks. The five divisions agreed to rest on this cliff for the time being. Each division would send out people to set up defenses around the cliff to prevent any accidents. At the same time, they would use this time to study the authenticity of the Four Banes Sect and the method of offering sacrifices.
Magu had mentioned the method of offering sacrifices to the Four Banes Sect before. However, the cultivators had already arrived at the mountain gate, and with the Vermilion Bird in their hands, they naturally would not place their lives in the hands of a woman. Thus, they decided to study it themselves. If they could decipher the method of offering sacrifices to the Four Banes Sect, they would not have to rely on Magu. They could act on their own and be more at ease.
After that, as if to put an end to the grudge between Fang Xing, Granny Yao, and Luo Musang, they specially made an agreement. When Hou Jiuyue's phenomenon arrived, the five divisions would wait on the cliff. They would live in harmony and not interfere with each other's business. If there was a conflict, the other three divisions could work together to stop it. Even if there was a grudge, it would have to wait until they left the dao palace to settle it.
Fang Xing did not have much to say about this agreement, so he casually agreed to it.
In reality, he did not have the time to think about how to kill Granny Yao and Luo Musang. The dao palace was right in front of him, so he had to prioritize!
In the following period of time, Reverence Heaven, Baiyue, Beast Taming, and the Small Clan Alliance all sent cultivators who were proficient in the method of offering sacrifices to investigate the foundation of the Four Banes Sect. The conclusion they obtained was that there was a powerful evil aura on the sect. However, the method of the Taishang orthodoxy was too profound. With their cultivation and knowledge, they were unable to see through the restriction. They could only wait for the phenomenon of the nine moons to rise into the sky and offer sacrifices.
On the other hand, Fang Xing was not involved in this at all. He was aiming in another direction.
That night, he summoned his eight Golden Core servants into the palace and asked excitedly, "Which one of you knows the method of divination?"
Even if they did not specialize in the Dao of Formations, after reaching the Golden Core realm, how could they not know some formation divination?
Thus, of the eight Golden Core servants in front of him, five or six of them stood up.
Even Hen Tianning pushed Fang Xing from behind meekly and said in a low voice, "I know it too!"
Fang Xing was overjoyed. He immediately stood up and said, "Let's go, let's break the formation!"
The attention of the other clans was focused on the Door of the Four Banes Sect, but Fang Xing had his eyes set on the other side of the abyss, on the forbidden formation that covered the entire ruins of the Taishang Dao Palace. Everyone had a common understanding about this formation. It was mysterious and difficult to understand. It could be called an immortal formation. If the formation was not opened, no one could force their way in. They could only wait quietly for the nine moons to rise.
However, Fang Xing did not believe this. He had the Yin Yang Fiendgod Mirror, so he wanted to see if he could break the formation in advance.
When he revealed his plan, the eight Golden Core servants and Hen Tianning were stunned.
How taboo was the Guardian Formation of the Taishang Dao Palace?
For thousands of years, the Dragon Seeking Clan had come to the front of the Dao Palace countless times, but they had never been able to do anything about the formation. There were only a few of them, and they wanted to break the formation in a short period of time. How different was this from seeking death? However, Fang Xing was rude and unreasonable, and he did not seem like someone who could be persuaded. The eight Golden Core servants could only pinch their noses and jump into the sea of fire with him.
What happened next shocked the eight Golden Core servants.
Fang Xing did not recklessly ask them to risk their lives and charge into the formation. Instead, he began to do divination seriously.
When they received the first jade scroll that recorded the strange operation of the eight gates of the formation, there was no need to describe the shock in their hearts.
