After Shangchen ordered everyone to withdraw from the Xuan Zun, more than half of the great formation collapsed. Those Shangchen disciples who could escape took advantage of the protection and escaped. Only a few Dao Soldiers who only knew how to follow orders were still guarding the area.
When the green Qi vitality that suddenly surged declined again, the Dao Soldiers and the formation they were guarding were immediately wiped out by Tianxia Xuanzun. The great formation in the center completely collapsed.
Tianxia took advantage of the situation to flatten the remaining formations. However, at this point, they cautiously stopped and did not rashly move forward.
At this moment, just like before, formation disks flew over from the passage between the two worlds and landed on the territory they occupied. They erected formations that could be relied on and quickly gathered a heavy formation power that could support their advance.
Chen Tingzhi stood in front of the great formation in the inner circle. He looked at the outline of the green canopy behind him and directly saw the Cymbidium Lucidum.
In front of him was the most heavily guarded territory in Shangchen. It was also the place closest to the Cymbidium Lucidum. The greatest power of this Dao Guarding Treasure could be unleashed there.
Not only that, as the person who was the most proficient in formations among the court officials, it was not difficult for him to see that the formation was extremely mysterious. There were even traces of the intervention of an Upper Realm expert. There were also various powerful techniques hidden inside. It would not be easy to break through.
Zhengqing Daoist and Wu Qingxu also stopped. Breaking through a formation required a certain method. Although they had successfully broken through the great formation in the center, they had also made a lot of preparations before this. If a joint was dislocated or made a mistake, it could lead to a setback in their attack. Therefore, they had to be extremely cautious before they officially started.
After Chen Tingzhi observed for a while, he passed on what he observed to Xuanting through Xuntian Dao Zhang.
As for Xuanting, after learning about the specific situation, he immediately gathered all the True Cultivators who were good at formations and came to the court to find out how to break this formation. Most of them were Daoist cultivators who had been cultivating in seclusion in the Clear Sky Cloud Sea.
Zhu Tingzhi looked at the situation. Right now, they were facing a great sect with a long history. It was hard to say what kind of power the other party would unleash when they were about to exterminate this sect.
With Tianxia's strength, they did not doubt that they would be able to destroy the enemy in the end, but the price they would have to pay would be hard to say. They all hoped to achieve this goal with the least cost.
It would be best if they could force Gu Yangzi and the other two to take the initiative to fight with them. If they could get rid of these three people, Shangchen would not be able to hold on. The remaining people would not be able to compete with Tianxia.
At this moment, an old Daoist cultivator observed the situation for a long time. Then, he stroked his beard and said, "If I'm not wrong, this formation should be a modified version of the ancient formation, the Heavenly God-Slaying Formation.
During the ancient times, the ancestors used the Heavenly Branches to connect the heavens and the earth. It was as if they were building a canopy over the heavens and earth. They overturned the heavens and earth and seized the secrets of the heavens. Then, they killed a group of ancient monsters. "
Everyone knew about this. However, the Heavenly Branch from that day had already collapsed. The Heavenly Branch in front of them was a remnant branch that the Shangchen Faction's founder had found and refined. The Shangchen Faction had some origins, but if one were to trace their ancestry back to their masters, most of the Mystic Venerables present today could be related to the sages from that day.
Lin Tingzhi said, "Now that times have changed, if Shangchen continues to use this formation, it will only benefit us Daoist cultivators. It will be difficult for us to maintain it."
The old Daoist said, "The principles of the formation are the same, but the mechanism of the formation can change. It can benefit us, but it can also harm us. If I'm not wrong, only those who have swallowed a mouthful of Cymbidium Lucidum can survive in this formation. The rest will find it difficult to enter. "
A Daoist cultivator who was also present asked, "Daoist You, is it also impossible for those who have plucked the top-notch fruits of merit?"
The old Daoist said, "Those who have plucked the top-notch fruits of merit are naturally not afraid. However, it doesn't mean that their living bodies can be unharmed. If they force their way into the formation, they may be destroyed from the inside. If they want to fall back into the world, they will still be in the mechanism of the formation. This will give the other party a chance."
Lin Tingzhi asked, "Daoist You, may I ask how to break the formation?"
The old Daoist stroked his beard and said, "The difficulty of this formation lies in its endless circumference. It needs to be broken at the same time in order to break the formation. If we break a corner like before, it will be impossible for the four directions to collapse.
If we use Gu Xia's method, one Daoist cultivator will enter the formation with the formation flag. They will attack the formation positions one by one, hold the flag and stand firm. When the other Daoists occupy the formation positions, they will be able to break the formation in one fell swoop. "
The Tingzhi thought about it. This was a feasible method, but the casualties would not be small. This was because it was a competition of who had the most resources and who could withstand the casualties.
Lin Tingzhi asked, "What if we don't use this method?"
At this moment, a Xuan Zun cultivator said, "If the Tingzhi cultivators want stability, then we can surround them. With the pressure of the clear sky, it won't be difficult to break through after a long period of accumulation. Although it's a clumsy method, the casualties will be minimized."
The Tingzhi cultivators secretly shook their heads. How could they not know about this method?
As long as they blocked the exits from the outside and surrounded them for tens or hundreds of years, they would be able to grind Shangchen to death.
However, this method was too time-consuming. By then, Huanyang and Shenzhao would have already killed their way in. They had to resolve this matter in a short period of time.
The old Daoist slowly said, "In the past, other than these two methods, there were no other methods. However, I have a method that couldn't be used in the past, but it can be used now." He looked at the Tingzhi cultivators. Solemnly, he said, "Refine thousands of lightning pearls to destroy this formation."
Lin Tingzhi was slightly stunned. He immediately thought about it. After a while, he subconsciously nodded.
The old Daoist leisurely said, "No matter what kind of formation it is, it relies on the formation's mechanism to operate. Disrupting the mechanism has always been the best way to break a formation. If there are enough lightning pearls, even the void can be destroyed. How can there be an unbreakable formation in the world? In the past, we couldn't find so many lightning pearls, but in my opinion, we can find them in Tianxia. "
Lin Tingzhi said, "Daoist You is right. If we can find these lightning pearls in Tianxia, even if we don't have enough, we can still refine them." He bowed to the old Daoist. "We still need your guidance and help here."
He knew that if he were to use the Lightning Pearls to destroy the formation, and if he were to release the Lightning Pearls carelessly, not to mention tens of thousands, even tens of millions of Lightning Pearls might not be enough to destroy the formation that was protected by a Dao Guarding Treasure.
To actually execute it, they needed to be able to sense the location of the formation's mechanism in advance. They needed to grasp the flow of the formation and find the location of the Yuanjie.
However, these were only the rough steps. They needed to know how to break open the outer layer of the formation, how to distribute the Qi of the formation, how to resist the counterattack from the inner layer. Every step could not be wrong. Every step had to be precise and meticulous.
Tianxia's deep foundation only gave them the possibility of breaking the formation, but it didn't mean that they had to break it. They still needed to make meticulous arrangements here. At the end of the day, if they wanted to break the formation quickly, they still needed to be skillful and not powerful.
The old Daoist hurriedly bowed. Solemnly, he said, "I don't dare. I will do my best. However, I still need some time to observe the mechanism of the formation and find the network of the formation."
Lin Tingzhi thanked him for his hard work. He turned around and said to the rest of the court elders, "Before Daoist You finds the network of the formation, we can first besiege this formation. Then, we can refine the formation flag and prepare the lightning pearls and Xuan weapons."
In the end, he decided to first prepare the three methods that he just mentioned. In the end, he would make changes according to the situation. In any case, Tianxia also had enough treasured materials and manpower to do this.
In the Rainbow Hall, Gu Yangzi was looking ahead.
Although the mysteries of heaven were difficult to predict, he had the ability to see Qi. Because Tianxia had fallen within the boundaries that originally belonged to Shangchen, he could also see some things.
At this moment, his expression suddenly froze.
Daoist Tian Hong noticed his abnormality and asked, "What's wrong?"
Gu Yangzi took a look. Just now, the Qi in Tianxia's formation was surging like clouds. However, just now, it suddenly became imposing like a sky full of dark clouds pressing down.
With a wave of his sleeve, two branches floated up in front of him. One was slender and weak, with a dim halo above it. The other was robust, with a dazzling light above it. It almost directly enveloped the other branch.
He pointed with his finger and said, "When I checked the Qi just now, this is the comparison between Tianxia and me."
Lingdu Daoist took a look. When he saw that both sides were facing each other, he was also secretly shocked. He muttered to himself for a moment and said, "From the looks of it, Tianxia might have found a way to resist the great formation." He shook his head and sighed. "This is also expected. After Tianxia occupied the upper layer, he gained too many benefits."
From his point of view, Tianxia had the advantage this time because he occupied the upper layer and then pushed the Xuan method. As for whether the upper and lower rules were good or bad, it still needed to be seen on a longer scale. However, Gu Xia's original set of things had at least been proven by countless years of the past.
Gu Yangzi took another look and said in a serious tone, "Although Tianxia hasn't made a move yet, we can see that the further we go, the stronger his Qi will be. The possibility of victory will also be greater. We need to find a way to stop him."
Tian Hong snorted and said, "We have to rely on ourselves. If we don't kill our way out, I'm afraid there's no other way."
Lingdu Daoist thought for a moment and said, "Huanyang school hasn't made a move yet. Maybe we should send this message to the void and let them know of our predicament. No matter what the two factions think, if they still don't help me, then they should give up on the idea of crossing into this world."
Gu Yangzi nodded and said, "We can give it a try."
After the three of them decided, they sat down and worked together to try to shift the vitality of the Heavenly Branch. They also sent a message to the branch in the void passage.
On the other side of the void, when the three hosts of Huanyang school were watching, they suddenly felt something. This was because they sensed that there was a new vitality on the branch that connected the two worlds.
After the three of them examined it for a moment, they changed their minds and entered. Instantly, they saw the content. There was no request or anything else on it. It just described the predicament that Shangchen was in at the moment.
At this moment, Yu Qingrong had the appearance of a gentle and beautiful woman. After looking at it, she flipped her hair and said, "Two senior brothers, Shang Chen Tian has retreated to the inner circle. It seems that he can't hold on any longer. Should we think of something?"
