When Tianxia launched a fierce attack on Shangchen, even though Zhang Yu was in the Thousand Luminaries Great Formation, he paid close attention to the situation there.
After all, the great formation he was in was also a corner of the entire chessboard, and a rather crucial one at that. It was impossible for him to break away from the general situation.
Through Xuntian Dao Zhang, he could naturally accurately know everything that was happening on the other side at this moment. When he learned that Shangchen had already given up on the great formation and retreated to the deepest part of Cymbidium Lucidum, he knew that the situation there was more or less stabilized.
If there were no upper level powerhouses or any other backup plans, Shangchen should not have the ability to reverse the situation by relying on themselves.
At this moment, he was looking at the void passage for a moment. With Shangchen in such a situation, as long as Huanyang and Shenzhao Sects did not give up on entering the world, they would not be quiet. He should also speed up here.
Previously, after fighting with Chen and Bai, he had also pondered over the changes in their magical powers. The conclusion was that only by making good use of the Dao Guarding Treasures could they resist the enemies that came later.
Although he saw the various changes and mysteries of the Clear Sky Qi with his eye seal, he did not ponder over how to use it. Instead, he was thinking about how to receive more Clear Sky Qi and find a way to suppress the changes with quantity.
This was also in line with his usual battle philosophy. If there was not enough change, then make up for it with strength.
It was not that he did not value change, and he also believed that this was a relatively important part of the battle between cultivators. However, his cultivation and mental strength could rely on various conditions to catch up with his predecessors. Things like change required the accumulation of years of experience. In this aspect, he could not compare to those cultivators who had cultivated for a long time.
However, how to receive the Clear Sky Qi was the key. He still remembered that when the Xuanting Elders in the court sent the Clear Sky Qi over, he could still guide it in the beginning, but later on, he could only go with the flow.
Once the Clear Sky Qi exceeded the limits of one's endurance, one would naturally be unable to control it. Then, it would be useless to ask for it. Therefore, he had to have more endurance.
Logically speaking, the more mental strength he had, the more he could bear. However, it was impossible for his mental strength to increase greatly in a short period of time, so he had to think of other ways.
Ever since he returned to the array, he had been thinking about this matter. Now, he already had some clear ideas.
He couldn't bear this kind of power for a long time, but why did he have to do it? After all, this was an external force, and he didn't have to fully control it.
Just like when he received the Clear Sky Qi from Zhu Tingzhi, after receiving it, he could use it in an instant and achieve the goal of attacking the enemy.
He had the Life Seal in his body, so he could withstand even more power.
That was the train of thought, but the details were still to be discussed.
The amount of Clear Sky Qi you could absorb would depend on how much you could absorb. It's like a pond storing water. The width of the pond itself determines the upper limit of what you can bear.
In the battle against Yu Qingrong, he was able to have more, but that was purely because the Xuanting Imperial Zhi endlessly sent it to him, the source was not his own initiative.
If this problem was not solved, there would be no way to talk about the rest.
However, not only did he have the Life Seal, he also had the Word Seal. The latter was his foundation. If he used the Word Seal to activate the Clear Sky Qi, because this seal relied on the Great Dao, then the power that could be activated in an instant would be far greater than his own.
However, if he didn't have enough support, it would be useless even if he activated it, and it would dissipate in an instant. However, at this moment, he could use the Life Seal as support and transmit it, and in an instant, it would be released, and he would be able to achieve his goal.
This was equivalent to using a small force to pry open a great force.
This method seemed simple, but with the Word Seal as support, the Life Seal as support, and the use of the profound principles that he had seen from the Eye Seal, it could be said that he had used all the seals of the Great Dao that he had grasped, and it would be impossible to do it without a single one.
He thought for a moment. Although he had the train of thought, he had only completed the deduction. Whether he could do it or not, he still needed to verify it.
Fortunately, he still had time to do this. With a wave of his sleeve, he first sealed off the surrounding formation, then held his breath and concentrated. After a while, he uttered a loud Dao sound.
At this moment, the twelve Xuan Zun in the Thousand Luminaries Great Formation revealed a look of surprise. This was because they felt that a lot of Clear Sky Qi was surging into the main formation. They thought that it might be Zhang Yu who was rushing to set up something, and they were relieved. Each of them guarded the formation according to their instructions.
At this moment, in Shangchen, after Ying Chong and the others had completely retreated, although there were still some sporadic resistance in the formation, it was meaningless. These people were quickly cleaned up.
Most of the Immortal Soul cultivators in Shangchen died on the spot. Only two people expressed their willingness to submit to Tianxia at the moment when the formation altar was breached.
Tianxia did not make things difficult for them. He first detained the two people, and prepared to punish them together after completely destroying Shangchen.
On the other hand, large numbers of Shangchen disciples in the Qingkong Plateau gave up resistance. In addition to these people who were originally responsible for guarding the great formation, there were also disciples scattered in various sky regions. When the upper level cultivators of the main sky region threw them off, they had nowhere to go. They could only beg Tianxia to surrender.
In just half a day, almost all the sects in Shangchen had surrendered to Tianxia. Tianxia never massacred indiscriminately, so he did not do anything to these disciples. He transferred these people out, and also prepared to make arrangements later.
In fact, Tianxia paid more attention to the people under the rule of Shangchen. Many of these people's ancestors were originally people of Shenxia, but they were classified as a race by Shangchen. Most of the middle and lower level cultivators in Shangchen came from there. There were a lot of these people, and there was no doubt that they could be used to expand Tianxia's population.
It was worth mentioning that Shangchen was not without people who were loyal to the mountain gate and resisted to the end. However, they could not raise any waves by themselves and were quickly pacified.
During this period of time, Tianxia had already occupied all the outer formation altars in Shangchen. At this moment, it also meant that the great formation of Shangchen's mountain gate had completely collapsed.
Daoist You looked at all of this and sighed in his heart. He did not expect that in his lifetime of leading the formation, he would actually break through a sect guarded by a Dao Guarding Treasure.
At this moment, he faintly felt something in his mind, but he suppressed it and did not continue to go deeper. Now was not the time.
At this point, it could not be considered a complete success.
He looked at the towering and huge Heavenly Branch in front of him, and his expression could not help but become serious again. Shangchen still had Gu Yangzi's group of three, and Shangchen's elders were also nowhere to be seen. These people should have retreated to some empty wall in the branches to hide.
If these people were not eliminated, it could not be said that Shangchen had been wiped out.
At this moment, Lin Tingzhi came to Daoist You's side and said, "Fellow Daoist You, the cultivators of Shangchen have retreated to the Heavenly Branch. Do you have any suggestions?"
Daoist You thought for a moment and said, "Although the great formation of the mountain gate has been broken and Shangchen has lost its border, the great formation of the mountain gate of a sect with a Dao Guarding Treasure is only a subsidiary. The Dao Guarding Treasure is the foundation.
If we want to break through here, there are no tricks to speak of. We can only attack with the same Dao Guarding Treasure. I believe that the court enforcers here have their own opinions, so there is no need for me to say more. "
Lin Tingzhi nodded. He also had his own judgment here. The reason he asked this question was to ensure that Shangchen would not make a mistake with the formation mechanism. He said, "Then in Fellow Daoist You's opinion, where might this person be hiding?"
Daoist You said with certainty, "It's definitely somewhere in the main branch. Only that place is the most solid, and can also make use of the vitality here to make the last stubborn resistance."
Lin Tingzhi made a sound of acknowledgment, then bowed and said, "I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist to look after this place."
Daoist You hurriedly returned the gesture.
Tianxia's advance did not stop at all. Formation discs continuously opened from the edge of the Clear Sky Cloud Sea, perfecting the great formation.
After Lin Tingzhi bid farewell to him, he floated back to the Xuantian Dao Palace. He first greeted the chief Daoist and the other court enforcers, then said, "Chief Enforcer, we can confirm that the remaining Shangchen cultivators, including Gu Yangzi, have all hidden in the Heavenly Branch's main branch."
At this moment, a light suddenly flashed from the front of the hall. Everyone looked over and saw Wu Qingxu's shadow appear there. He said in a deep voice, "I've already asked the two who surrendered. From their words, the place this person is hiding in is Shangchen's main hall, the Rainbow Hall. Just as Lin Tingzhi said, it is indeed in the Heavenly Branch's main branch."
He paused for a moment, then said, "The two of them said that the branch outside the great formation could have been cut off, but it was not done in the end."
Wei Tingzhi said, "Oh? In that case, if this person had cut off the branch before, it might have brought us a lot of trouble? "
Lin Tingzhi said, "That's what they said, but in reality, it's difficult to do so because the Dao Guarding Treasure does not belong to them. They are just the people who control it, so how could they dare to damage it too much?"
Daoist Yu Su sneered, "At the crucial moment, they were too cautious and did not dare to make a decision. This person deserves to be defeated."
At this moment, a light flashed in the hall, and Chen Tingzhi's shadow appeared on the seat. He looked at everyone and said in a deep voice, "This battle is not the time to rest easy. Shangchen has been forced to this point, so they will definitely ask for help from Huanyang and Shenzhao Sects. We must quickly kill this person to put an end to this situation."
The court enforcers nodded.
It was just that the Clear Sky Qi they had accumulated before was almost used up, so they needed to recharge it before they could break through the tough wall in one go. It would still take some time.
Zhu Tingzhi said, "If Huanyang and Shenzhao Sects want to enter the world, they will not sit by and watch Shangchen fall. They will definitely do everything they can to break through this obstacle. I think we should remind Zhang Shouzheng."
Daoist Feng agreed. He stood up and cupped his hands, saying, "Chief Enforcer, everyone, if Zhang Shouzheng breaks through, it will be difficult for us to defend here. Now that Shangchen has been forced to the point where it can't move, perhaps we should also send a part of our forces to help Zhang Shouzheng and strengthen the formation to stop the enemy's advance."
