Guyang and the other two seemed to have come into contact with a grand consciousness. In a trance, the dense Clear Qi instantly became much thinner.
Outside, the main trunk of the Cymbidium Lucidum trembled. Some of the branches that extended out rapidly withered, and many of the air regions that were attached to the branches instantly dissipated.
Even the many restrictions in the central circle guarded by the Xuan Zun showed signs of instability. This was caused by the Cymbidium Lucidum consuming too much of its vitality in an instant.
Even if it was a Dao Guarding Treasure, it still had to pay a huge price.
As long as this matter was not settled, it would continue to consume the vitality of the Cymbidium Lucidum. Fortunately, there were still three Shangchen experts above Guyang and the other two to back them up. These three would not sit by and watch the Dao Guarding Treasure exhaust its vitality, so they did not panic at this moment.
And the three of them also reaped the rewards of their efforts. Somewhere in the Void, a lush green branch appeared out of thin air. One end of the branch pierced a deep hole in the Void, while the other end extended out and gradually faded into nothingness.
At this moment, in the Empyrean Palace, the Head Daoist and the twelve court enforcers all sensed something. They all looked in the direction of the branch, only to see a huge and slightly narrow hole appear. The branch seemed to have pierced through the Void, connecting another world with this world.
And a faint scarlet light flashed from within. At a glance, it looked like a red furnace, but also like a ferocious eye embedded in the Void.
Lin Tingzhi looked for a while and understood the changes. He said solemnly, "I didn't expect the Cymbidium Lucidum to be able to open up the Void out of thin air. Gu Yangzi and the other two were hiding behind it. So this is what they were planning."
Zhong Tingzhi tried to sense it, then said, "There is no movement behind the hole. Huanyang school does not seem to be coming. However, at that moment, the Cymbidium Lucidum seemed to have lost a lot of vitality. Shangchen paid such a huge price, so they should be certain that the Huanyang school will definitely come."
Chen Tingzhi said in a deep voice, "Whether the Huanyang school comes or not, isn't it all within our expectations? There is no need to be alarmed by it. Just follow the plan that we set up beforehand. "
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone agreed.
The Daoist priest looked down and said, "Lin Tingzhi, you can act according to the plan."
Lin Tingzhi bowed to the Daoist priest and said, "Yes, wait for me to arrange it."
He silently recited a spell. After a short while, he pointed at the hall. A white gas flowed down from the tip of his finger and landed in the middle of the hall. The sound of a clear spring could be heard. Then, a round jade plate supported by lotus petals slowly rose from there. On top of it, countless tiny Daoist talismans flickered endlessly, like a rainbow.
After this jade plate vibrated for a while, as if it had accumulated enough power, a ray of light shot up into the sky and into the Void.
At this moment, the Daoist priests in the hall each activated their mana and controlled wisps of Clear Sky Qi to inject into the plate. The ray of light that shot up was stimulated by this and instantly dispersed, revealing a huge swirl of silver stars.
Within this swirl, there were tens of thousands of stars. All of them moved along with the swirl of light. As the light grew stronger, these stars suddenly disappeared from their original positions one by one. They jumped out of thin air and appeared outside the branch that pierced through the Void. Then, they dispersed there and arranged themselves into a huge formation in an instant.
These stars were all refined by Tianxia before this. Back then, Hunkong Laozu refined a silver star to resist the Outer Mansion. Now, Tianxia used tens of thousands of Earthly Stars to set up this Thousand Luminaries Star Charging Formation. With the Clear Sky Qi as the core of the formation, it was enough to block the Huanyang school for a period of time.
Of course, these tens of thousands of stars were not all refined by Tianxia Xuanzun. They only needed to refine one Earthly Star. The rest were formed by using the Clear Sky Qi. Although all the Daoist priests had to work together to control it, it was much easier and faster than refining them one by one.
However, this was only the first step. The Huanyang school had not arrived yet. In the end, they still relied on this branch to connect to this world. If they could destroy this branch, then they would not be able to enter this world. Hence, when the formation was completed, the Daoist priests exerted their strength again. The Clear Sky Qi spread towards the branch in an attempt to destroy it.
Under the pressure of the Clear Sky Qi, the branch turned from real to illusory and slowly faded away.
At this moment, from the Void on the other side, a scorching ray of light shot out. The entire branch instantly turned red and looked like a soldering iron. However, it did not burn away its vitality like the previous time. Instead, it became thicker because of this.
When the Daoist priests in the court saw this, they continued to use the Clear Sky Qi. Slowly but steadily, they removed the energy from the branch. The branch on this side of the Void slowly disappeared and gradually dissipated. However, when the Clear Sky Qi spread towards the other side of the Void, it met with resistance. It was very difficult to move forward.
Although Zhang Yu's clone was standing on the altar, he had an eye imprint on him. He could clearly see the battle in the Void.
He realized that Tianxia's current situation was similar to when they attacked Shangchen. Due to the limited number of channels, they were unable to send too much energy. This led to a stalemate.
However, Tianxia could accept this situation. The Huanyang school was temporarily blocked outside. This meant that they could concentrate their strength in Shangchen. Once they eliminated this sect, the Huanyang school would be useless even if it returned.
However, the Huanyang school would not be willing to wait. They would definitely try to break through in the future.
This was because, according to Xuanting's arrangement, he was responsible for dealing with the Huanyang school. If there were any changes, he would be the one to deal with it.
As he was thinking, he felt a thought from Xuntian Dao Zhang. He immediately paid attention to it and heard Taoist Feng's voice, "Zhang Shouzheng, the Daoist priests want me to inform you that the Huanyang school is on the path to entering the world. The current formation is being maintained. There is no need for anyone to go up for now. However, Shouzheng needs to be prepared."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Daoist Feng, please pass the message to the court. I understand."
In the Xuantian Dao Palace, Zhong Tingzhi saw that the situation had eased. He said, "We need to guard against Gu Yangzi and the other two. Previously, they did not come out because they wanted to communicate with the Huanyang school. Now that they have achieved their goal, they will definitely come out to take charge of the situation. We need to be careful."
Wei Tingzhi said, "That's reasonable. If the three of them come out, we can't treat them lightly."
Guyang, Tian Hong, and Lingdu had all plucked the fruit of coexistence between the real and the void. When they controlled the Cymbidium Lucidum, the power they could exert was not something that Ying Chong could compare with. Shangchen with and without the three of them was completely different.
Zhong Tingzhi said, "If the three of them come out, the Zhengqing Daoist will not be able to deal with them alone." Although Tianxia had sent more than 30 Xuan Zun, it was still beyond their power to deal with Guyang and the other two at the same time.
Wu Qingxu stood up from his seat. He bowed and said in a deep voice, "Head Daoist, let me go. It will prevent the separation between the two worlds from being destroyed."
The Head Daoist said, "Then we will have to trouble you, Wu Tingzhi."
Wu Qingxu bowed again and stepped down from the platform. He walked out of the Xuantian Dao Palace and stepped on a Xuan Gold Jade Platform. He passed through the cloud vortex and landed in Shangchen.
In Shangchen, Ying Chong sensed the change in the void. He knew that the opportunity had come. He left a clone here and descended from the branch of the High Dome. He landed in the Rainbow Hall and stepped into the inner hall. He bowed to Guyang and the other two and said, "Greetings to the three Supreme Venerables."
Gu Yangzi said, "Fellow Daoist Ying, we've all seen what I've done before. You can continue to preside over the situation. We will control the Cymbidium Lucidum and help you. "
Ying Chong replied, "Although the defense of the middle circle's formation is tight, Tianxia has sent Zhengqing over. This person's methods are powerful. Coupled with Tianxia's group of Mystique Venerables, it's difficult for us to resist. Just now, when we were at the outer circle, Fellow Bai was no match for them and died."
Daoist Tian Hong sneered and said, "I haven't seen Zhengqing for more than 300 years. I would like to see how his cultivation is now. I wonder if he is still as capable as before after being chased out by Tianxia."
While he was speaking, he saw a dazzling flash of light in the cloud vortex opposite him. A Daoist wrapped in black spiritual light rode on the cloud and came over on a Xuan Gold Jade Platform.
Daoist Tian Hong was slightly surprised. "Wu Qingxu?" He snorted and said, "Who would have thought that after not seeing him for more than 300 years, this person would be able to obtain superior cultivation?"
The Lingdu Daoist looked at him for a moment and said, "Wu Qingxu's Qi is very deep. He didn't achieve it just now. This person has always been secretive and doesn't like to show off. It is hard to say when he achieved it."
Daoist Tian Hong thought about it and said, "That makes sense. Maybe he would have achieved it by then. We have underestimated him."
If Zhengqing was alone, one of the three of them could go and confront him. However, with Wu Qingxu, they couldn't easily make a move.
Tianxia didn't have the Chief Enforcer with unfathomable cultivation. At least, Chen Yu hadn't made a move yet. Moreover, it was hard to say if there were other cultivators who had obtained such cultivation.
The three of them discussed again and decided not to show up for the time being. It was better to use the Authority of Cymbidium Lucidum in their hands to defend. As long as the Huanyang school could break in later, they would be able to usher in a favorable turn.
After the plan was made, the three of them ordered Ying Chong to go back and take charge of the situation. Then, they activated Cymbidium Lucidum together. In just a moment, a dense green light curtain covered the entire center circle.
At this moment, the many Heavenly Summer Xuan Zuns who had attacked the center quickly discovered that the other side's defensive power was not just a little bit stronger than before. Moreover, when the green energy spread over, it actually made their bodies feel sluggish. The Clear Sky Qi used to protect the outside was also being consumed extremely quickly.
When Daoist Zhengqing saw this, he glanced at Wu Qingxu who was close by and said, "My fellow cultivators, please retreat first. Wu Ting and I will take care of the rear."
As he spoke, a circle of clear light bloomed from his body, pushing the Clear Sky Qi outwards. Wu Qing Xu stood there expressionlessly, releasing a black light from his body. With the two of them working together, they blocked the blue Qi curtain. Everyone else didn't hesitate, taking advantage of this gap, all of them flew away.
