Within the Thousand Luminaries Grand Formation, Zhang Yu was concentrating on deducing the changes. Suddenly, he sensed something and looked towards the top. He saw that there was a crack in the formation screen. Auspicious clouds and auspicious light drifted out from within, and there was even a pleasant celestial sound.
On top of the auspicious clouds, the figures of thirty Daoists could be seen. Every one of them was surrounded by a lustrous aura, and the aura gathered together caused the void to tremble and the starlight to dim.
He knew that Xuanting had sent reinforcements, so he stood up from the formation platform.
Everyone rode on clouds and descended from the sky. They stood on the platform in front of the spiritual altar and bowed to him, saying, "Zhang Shouzheng greets you."
Zhang Yu raised his sleeves and bowed back, saying, "Thank you all for coming to help."
At this moment, Zhu Feng walked up. She took out a decree and said, "Zhang Shouzheng, Xuanting asked me to pass on this decree. Shouzheng, please accept it."
Zhang Yu took it, glanced at it, and put it away.
The details of the reinforcements were already mentioned in Xuntian Dao Zhang. This was just to clarify in front of everyone that he was in charge of this place and had the authority to make decisions on the spot.
He didn't stand on ceremony and immediately arranged for everyone to take charge of the various formations. The number of Xuan Zun in the formation reached more than forty.
This didn't just mean that there were more people controlling the formation. It also meant that more Qi of the Clear Sky could be guided into the formation. This was the most important thing.
If it wasn't for the fact that Tianxia still had to defend its territory, and that there were still many unknown situations in the inner layer, which required a certain amount of power to guard it, perhaps more people could be mobilized.
Only after everyone had settled down and there was no problem with the transmission of messages, did he sit down again.
At this moment, the formation screen above did not close. Formation discs continued to descend, filling up the entire formation. The Ten Thousand Luminaries Star-Charging Formation expanded as well.
In fact, many of these formation disks were originally used to attack Shangchen, because in one of the original plans, they laid out a large formation around the Cymbidium Lucidum, and then used absolute power to push down this branch.
However, with the appearance of the Huanyang and Shenzhao Sects, time was very tight, and this strategy could not be realized. Therefore, these formation disks were brought here to reinforce the formation, making the best use of them.
With a thought, he created a clone to sort out the array mechanism on his behalf, and he continued to deduce and confirm the method he had previously thought about.
Within the Rainbow Hall of Shangchen, due to the collision of the Clear Sky Qi, everyone was using all their strength to defend. After a long while, as the greatest impact force passed, the momentum also slowed down slightly.
Taoist Chang let out a sigh.
The cultivator closest to him was a cultivator with the surname Xue. He looked at Taoist Chang, then looked elsewhere, and transmitted his thoughts, "Why do you sigh, Taoist Chang?"
Taoist Chang said, "Taoist Friend, do you think Shangchen can really make it through? In my opinion, they can't even make it through half a day. "
Taoist Xue frowned and said, "Taoist Friend, you're too pessimistic."
Taoist Chang said, "I'm not talking nonsense. Let me talk to you about the outcome of our generation. There are only two possibilities." As he spoke, he stretched out two fingers and shook them.
Taoist Xue did not speak, but he was also listening.
Taoist Chang said, "The first possibility is that the Huanyang and Shenzhao Sects will return. We'll defend this place, and then we'll fight with Tianxia. However, Tianxia is very determined in this battle. Even if we don't decide the outcome, we'll have to beat Tianxia until his vitality is greatly damaged before he can escape to the inner layer. Taoist Friend, what do you think the chances of us two surviving this battle are?"
Taoist Xue did not speak, but he knew in his heart. He had not even plucked the illusory fruit, so he was the most vulnerable person in the battle. He only needed to look at the fate of his fellow Taoists outside to know.
Taoist Chang carefully transmitted his thoughts, "There's another outcome, which is that Tianxia wins, and Shangchen is destroyed. However, Tianxia doesn't kill his opponents at will. A fellow Taoist told me that as long as we surrender to Tianxia … Cough, we can be exempted from punishment. At most, we'll be locked up for a period of time, and we can still be released later."
Taoist Xue said thoughtfully, "Taoist Friend, according to what you said, surrendering will give us a better chance of survival?"
"That's right!" Taoist Chang clapped his hands, "That's the only way for us to survive."
Taoist Xue's expression darkened, "Taoist Chang, do you know what you're saying? You're betraying your master and sect! "
Taoist Chang said disapprovingly, "Since when did the skills we cultivate have anything to do with Shangchen? Before Shenxia, who was a disciple of Shangchen? Taoist Xue, are you, or am I? "
Taoist Xue was speechless for a moment.
Shangchen's most orthodox sects were three Taoist teachings. Later on, it was expanded to five, and only these five could be considered as the direct disciples. The remaining Taoist teachings were obtained when Shangchen used Shenxia's name to annex many sects.
These Taoist teachings and Shangchen's original sects were not the same ancestors. It was as if they were like this.
Taoist Chang said again, "In Shangchen, whatever benefits there are, it's all taken by Ying Chong and Guyang. What can we get?"
Taoist Xue said in a low voice, "Taoist Friend, do you not care about the three ancestors by doing this?"
Taoist Chang pursed his lips and said, "If Shangchen's ancestors were willing to intervene, they would've done so long ago. Why would they be forced into such a difficult situation? Besides, Shangchen has three ancestors. Don't tell me Tianxia doesn't have any? Tianxia has five leaders, and it's even better than Shangchen. "
He said again, "Tianxia inherited Shenxia's orthodox lineage, and Shenxia inherited Guxia's lineage. Even if we join them, not only would we not be letting down our ancestors, but we would also be returning to the orthodox lineage."
Taoist Xue snorted and did not continue the conversation, because he felt that he was about to be convinced.
He was furious. This Chang Yang was too despicable. He was obviously a person who was loyal to the sect, but he actually had thoughts that he should not have. If he joined Tianxia in the future, it would not be his fault. If he had to blame someone, it would be this person who was too good at bewitching people.
As the two of them were talking, the tremors outside did not stop. The entire hall continued to shake, and the surrounding branches were broken and regenerated. At first, it was fine, but later on, the replenishment could not make up for the damage.
In order to resolve the impact from the branches, Xuan Zun had no choice but to immerse himself in his mana.
However, every time the force came, they felt as if they were facing a rolling dragon. It was really difficult to control, and the force of the recoil also made them feel extremely uncomfortable.
The Qi of the Clear Dome was like a wave, layer upon layer, but it was not higher than the previous one. Instead, it would occasionally fall, and occasionally increase. There was no pattern to the interval between the waves, which increased the difficulty of their defense. They had to be on guard at all times, and could not relax at all.
The people of Shangchen felt as if they had returned to the time when they were defending the great formation. At that time, they also suffered a similar impact, and did not have the chance to relax at all.
After holding on for half a summer, Gu Yangzi suddenly said, "Everyone, be careful."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Rainbow Hall shook with a loud bang!
This was an unprecedentedly violent impact. Xuan Zun, who was slightly weaker, felt the mana that he immersed himself in the branches being rebounded. He only felt his inner Qi churning, and he almost could not stabilize his own Qi. The branches that they were responsible for guarding also showed signs of breaking.
After this impact, another huge impact came, and they could only desperately try to stabilize it. This attack lasted for about a hundred breaths, and finally calmed down a little. Although the momentum of the impact did not stop, it was not as violent as before.
The Rainbow Hall was still shaking, and broken glass jade pieces were constantly peeling off from the roof of the hall. However, they did not fall to the ground, but instead floated and circled in the hall, and soon formed a star belt of broken jade outside of everyone.
Although this scene looked magnificent and beautiful, no one was in the mood to admire it. Instead, they felt even more depressed, because this undoubtedly meant that the two extremes of Heaven and Earth in the hall could no longer be maintained.
At this moment, Daoist Tian Hong's expression was not very good, and said, "One of the main branches outside is broken."
Lingdu Daoist said, "This time, Tianxia is probably planning to break the branches first, and then break the main branch."
Actually, they hoped to see Tianxia directly attack the main branch, and then rely on the many branches to slow down and hold on for a longer time. However, at this moment, even if time was tight, Tianxia did not have the intention to break the main branch in one go. He was more patient than they thought.
Gu Yangzi said, "Tianxia's attacks are fierce and unparalleled. If we only defend like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for half a day."
Tian Hong was slightly irritated, and said, "Now that we can't go out, we can only let them attack. What can we do?"
Only defending and not attacking was not a good idea, but now, as long as there was a gap, Tianxia could determine their location, and then take the opportunity to attack. For this, they could only try their best to conceal themselves.
Gu Yangzi said, "We can only use the 'Green Jade Treasure Spirit'."
Lingdu Daoist said, "Are we going to use it now? Isn't it too early? "
Gu Yangzi said, "Let's use it now. Tianxia's Qi of the Clear Sky is far better than what we thought before. If we don't use it now, we won't have the chance in the future."
At the same time, in the void, a strand of invisible Qi was circling. From time to time, the stars in the surroundings would emit a ray of light, and then turn into a strand of floating Qi light to merge into this Qi.
Some evil gods were attracted over for some reason, and tried to pollute this Qi, but in the end, they were swallowed along with themselves.
This invisible Qi circled in the void for a long time, and the things it swallowed became stronger and stronger. In the end, it seemed to be guided by something, and floated towards the gap in the void opened by Huanyang and Shenzhao sects.
On the opposite side of the void, the old man with long hair sitting on the rainbow suddenly opened his eyes. He turned to Guan Chaosheng in the distance and said, "The Swallow Nether Worm has turned back, but time is short, so it can't grow too much."
Guan Chaosheng asked, "Can it be used?"
The old man with long hair pondered for a moment, and said cautiously, "If our sects work together and use this thing, we might be able to open a bigger gap in a short time. But even if everything goes smoothly, we can only cross one sect. But if Tianxia's Qi of the Clear Sky obstructs us, we might not be able to cross in one go."
Guan Chaosheng did not seem to care about this, "As long as it can be used." He said casually, "This time, let my Huanyang school cross first. After I get there and establish a foothold, I will take your sect along."
