Shangchen's use of the "Reverse Karma as Cause" technique this time could be said to be extremely secretive. At this moment, most of the court enforcers in the Empyrean Dao Palace were completely unaware of this secret change.
Only the Daoist seated at the head of the table raised his head slightly and glanced ahead, as if he had seen something.
However, he did not say anything.
In a battle before the battle, all kinds of situations could occur. Many strategies and predictions had already been formulated long before the battle began.
Some things could be dealt with long ago. As for those things that could not be predicted beforehand, they could only rely on improvisation.
On the battlefield, although Ying Chong had successfully ordered his men to retreat to the back wall, when he stabilized the formation and threw off the burden, he had also abandoned the vast formation domain.
The entire formation was already less than a tenth of its original size.
Of course, this was only on the surface. In reality, the place where the Cymbidium Lucidum branch had gone to and the heavenly domain above it could all be considered a part of the formation domain.
However, if one wanted to use all of this, they would need the support of the blue spirit vitality. Previously, most of the blue spirit vitality had been suppressed by the Clear Sky Qi and could barely escape from the formation.
However, now that Gu Yangzi and the other two had used the "Reverse Karma as Cause" technique to break free from this resistance, they could move again. However, in order to scheme against Tianxia once, they remained hidden and maintained the status quo.
Daoist You nodded when he saw Ying Chong's quick decision and nimble retreat. He looked at the formation that had curled up in front of him and did not continue to urge his men to press forward. Instead, he ordered them to slow down.
He was preparing to make some adjustments before launching the final attack.
He did not know that Gu Yangzi and the other two had already broken free from controlling the Dao Guarding Treasure and were waiting for them to charge in so that they could launch a counterattack. This was only his judgment based on his own experience.
Without a doubt, this judgment was very correct, and it had unknowingly avoided a huge loss. Otherwise, if the three of them had used the blue spirit heavenly secrets to launch a counterattack, they would have definitely caused great damage to Tianxia's side.
While they were waiting, formation diagrams continued to descend from the rear, gradually filling up the formation region that Shangchen had vacated.
Because Tianxia had prepared everything well in advance, it would only take a few days at most to complete the task.
However, Daoist You didn't intend to wait until the ground was full before making his move. Instead, he planned to make some adjustments before launching his attack.
It wasn't that he didn't understand the principle of stabilizing the rear. Of course, he liked to push forward layer by layer. It could also reduce losses. However, he also had his own considerations and limitations.
Firstly, according to the current momentum of the Clear Sky Qi, it could only last for half a day at most. He did not have much time to waste.
While he was making adjustments here, the other side was also trying to stabilize. Since he had the upper hand, he shouldn't give the other side too much time to reorganize.
At this moment, he looked at the grand array in front of him, and a strange feeling suddenly appeared in his heart.
Although the formation before him was no different from before, he felt that it was much more solemn and stable than before.
This wasn't a feeling for no reason, but rather the Qi activity transmitted from the formation. It must be known that the Qi activity was closely related to the person in charge of the formation, and even some of the main defenders. The reflection of one's mind could be directly transmitted to the outside world.
Logically speaking, Shangchen had been repeatedly attacked, and should have been forced to defend their remaining territory. No matter how confident they were, it was impossible for them to regain their composure so quickly. This was even more rigorous than when they were defending the outer and middle circles.
Not everyone could detect such a subtle change. Only someone like him, who had spent his entire life studying the formation mechanism and studying the formation, could see that something was wrong. This was a judgment based on his own experience.
He thought that something must have happened. He turned his head and glanced at the Thousand Luminaries Formation that Zhang Yu was guarding at the far end of the void, and found that it was still as usual.
He pondered for a moment, then said to the middle-aged Xuanxiu beside him, "Let me pass a message to Xuanting." As he spoke, he transmitted a few words.
The middle-aged Xuanxiu immediately reported back. After a while, he said, "The court has said that everything will be decided by Xuan Zun. Xuanting will provide support when needed, but will not interfere with the specific arrangements."
Daoist You nodded. He picked up a jade talisman from the table, shook his sleeve, and threw it down.
At this moment, Chen Yu, Zhengqing, and Wu Qingxu were hovering in the air. Their bodies were surrounded by a vast aura of mana. Just the three of them were enough to cover the aura of the thirty Yu Xuan Zun behind them.
At this moment, a ray of jade light descended from the sky. Chen Tingzhi glanced at it and said in a low voice, "The talisman is here. Let's attack the formation."
Zhengqing and Wu Tingzhi did not speak, but the aura on their bodies grew stronger. In the next moment, their Primordial Spirits floated out of their bodies and rushed towards the formation.
The Mystique Venerables behind the three of them did the same. Their primordial spirits drifted toward the formation.
When the many Xuan Zun in Shangchen saw this, they immediately guarded the formation altar and pushed the formation power forward to block it. For a moment, all kinds of mysterious changes could be seen, and layers of them surged.
When Daoist You saw that the formation had been affected, he picked up the talisman and threw down a batch of lightning pearls. However, this time, he divided the last batch of one million lightning pearls into three and threw only a portion into the formation.
Although Shangchen had abandoned a lot of the formation domain, it did not mean that the number of formation elements was reduced. The number of formation veins was also the same as before. However, he was indeed an expert in the Dao of Formations. After a few attacks, he had already figured out the arrangement of the formation veins. Therefore, he was able to accurately bombard every formation vein. Immediately, the damage to the formation was not inferior to the previous attacks.
Gu Yangzi and the others had already broken free from the green spirit vitality. When they saw this scene, they could have stopped it, but they did not.
What they wanted to do was to find an opportunity to severely injure Tianxia. If they blocked some of the lightning pearls, they would expose themselves in advance. This was not necessary.
Even if the lightning pearls messed up the formation veins, once the three of them attacked, they could reorganize it if they could achieve victory.
At this time, Daoist You sized up the formation for a moment and saw that it was still abnormally stable. There was not the slightest bit of panic when they were attacked by the lightning pearls.
He narrowed his eyes and pondered, "It seems that they have some confidence. However, I still have to do what I have to do."
He waved his sleeves again and two rainbows flew down from the table. This time, he had sent out two talismans.
When Chen Tingzhi, Zhengqing, and Wu Qingxu saw one of the talismans, they did not use their primordial spirits to attack. Instead, they rode on a ray of light and rushed towards the disrupted formation with the thirty Xuan Zun.
Lin Tingzhi was standing on top of the formation altar. As soon as he saw the command talisman, he pushed the qi activity in front of him aside. The 'Tianyi Chong Shui' that had previously poured into Shangchen Tian had now accumulated into a vast body of water, and was hidden in the formation at the back. Now that he had this guidance, momentarily the formation door opened wide. The rumbling water flowed along the path that the crowd had created and poured into the formation at the front.
When Ying Chong saw the Heavenly Summer Sect's formation breaking force surging toward him again, he didn't panic because he already knew that Gu Yangzi and the other two had freed themselves. While he mended the disrupted formation, he also mobilized the formation's power in an attempt to move the water away. Even though he couldn't solve the problem, he would move as much water as he could.
At this time, Gu Yangzi said, "Chen Yu, Zhengqing, and the others have already entered the formation. It is useless to kill those mediocre people. If we kill one of them, Tianxia can add another. We need to separate the formation and try to kill these three people. We don't need to kill all of them, but if we can eliminate one of them, we will definitely be able to reduce their sharpness."
As a blue curtain fell from the sky, it rushed towards the ground where the three of them were sitting. In the blink of an eye, the three of them had already moved into the formation.
Following their arrival, the blue spiritual life force that the three of them carried also rushed into the formation. In an instant, the entire formation was filled again.
The formation supported by the blue spiritual life force was completely different from the formation without the life force. With the nourishment of the life force, every heavenly domain on the Cymbidium Lucidum could participate in the operation of the formation. The entire heavenly branch could be connected from top to bottom. At this moment, densely packed talismans appeared on the Cymbidium Lucidum.
Once the formation's power was strengthened, it immediately separated the thirty or so Tianxia Xuanzun who had entered the formation.
Chen Tingzhi only felt the surrounding scenery shake, and the rest of his fellow Daoists disappeared. When he raised his head to look, he saw Gu Yangzi and the other two standing in front of him in mid-air. Their bodies were surrounded by blue light, and they were all riding on cloud-light magic carriages.
He sensed for a moment, and realized that he had already been cut off from the outside world. He could not summon Yuandu Xuantu either. This treasure could move people out, but the prerequisite was that there was no interference from other Daoist treasures.
This was mainly because Daoist Zhan Kong only controlled a portion of the heavenly domain. If he controlled all of the heavenly domain, then he could try to compete with him.
Gu Yangzi bowed and sighed, "Daoist Chen, it was not my wish for our two sects to come to this stage. Since we have entered the formation, we are enemies. Sorry for the offense."
The three of them decided to kill Chen Tingzhi first, mainly because Chen Tingzhi was the second in command of the Xuanting. If they could kill him, it would be a huge blow to the Xuanting.
To deal with an enemy here, they did not even need to grasp the power of the heavens and earth. They could mobilize the power of the formation in a flash, and create the power of the formation to suppress the enemy.
As long as the enemy was still an Immortal Soul cultivator, it would be useless no matter how strong his mana was, or how strong his abhijna was. Unless he could resist the combined power of the three of them and the formation by himself. Once they attacked, they could destroy his living body in a few breaths' time.
Furthermore, this was under the influence of the Cymbidium Lucidum. If anyone's living body was destroyed, even if they gave up on their body prematurely, the branches of the Cymbidium Lucidum would extend and find the place where their spiritual energy rested. It would not give them a chance to return to the mortal world.
But before that, they had to strip the Clear Sky Qi from Chen Tingzhi's body. If this Qi was not removed, it would be difficult to suppress him with the power of the formation.
When the vitality of Shangchen changed, the Xuantian Palace immediately sensed it. Zhong Tingzhi looked at the green canopy in the sky and reacted quickly. He pointed and said, "Everyone, this must be Guyang and the others using the 'Reversal of Karma' technique!"
Zhu Tingzhi said, "Previously, Daoist You thought that there was something wrong with the formation. It should be here."
Wei Tingzhi said with a serious expression, "I'm afraid this will be a hindrance to all of you."
Just as the atmosphere in the hall was solemn, the head daoist stood up from his seat. All the deacons were shocked when they saw this.
The Daoist priest looked forward. As if in a trance, everyone saw a huge crack in the void rise behind him, as if revealing an empty eye.
At this moment, the heavens and earth seemed to stop. The passage that separated the two worlds suddenly disappeared. At this moment, the Clear Sky Cloud Sea seemed to be connected to Shangchen! Then, he waved his sleeves lightly, and the boundless Clear Sky Qi broke through the green canopy in an instant, collapsing and pouring down!
