“Humph!”
Mo Lianshan snorted coldly. His black sword expanded fiercely and spun back to his side, creating a black barrier that didn’t even let in a breeze of wind.
Violent wind, blazing fire, thunder, and lightning all attacked him but were deflected away by his rapidly spinning black sword.
He was the proud disciple of the First Elder of the Sky Mountain Sect. He had strong powers and not ordinary. Although this black sword wasn’t as good as Duan Yao’s Purple Green Treasure Sword, it was still made from unusual materials. That was why this kind of violent wind and blazing fire could not hurt the black sword.
“Senior is still incredible!”
His junior brothers and sisters outside the big energy sphere all praised him when they saw Mo Lianshan not being hurt by the changes.
Hao Ren was sitting in his cave; he looked up to see how the small energy sphere was doing. Then, he used all his might to infuse five-elemental nature essence into the compa.s.s.
This array formation used the nature essence in the area. However, the cultivator would need to use his or her own nature essence to adjust the array formation. Hao Ren cultivated all five elements, so he had what it took and was adept at controlling such an array formation.
Bam! Bam!
The violent wind and blazing fire all surrounded Mo Lianshan.
Mo Lianshan’s black sword spun even faster. However, he was trapped and felt like he was inside a black elixir furnace. The flames of the array formation continuously baked him.
The Junior Brothers and Sisters who were just praising Mo Lianshan were now speechless.
Although the wind, flames, thunder, and lightning couldn’t hurt Mo Lianshan, Mo Lianshan still couldn’t charge through the array formation. Mo Lianshan was using his own nature essence to go against the array formation while the array formation used the nature essence in the area. It was an “Immortal Extermination Array” that welcomed enemies!
“Hurry and get Senior Brother out of there!” a Core Formation Realm cultivator immediately shouted.
This shout alerted everyone, and they rushed over to help.
All kinds of dharma treasures took turns to hit one location on the exterior of the big energy sphere. The attacks slightly shook the big energy sphere, and another hole appeared.
The black light in between the two energy spheres hurried and came out of the hole. However, the moment Mo Lianshan pulled back his black sword, a blazing fireball burned off a part of his eyebrows.
Mo Lianshan’s face was very dark to begin with. Now that he was burned, his face was darker than before. He breathed hard but was only able to catch his breath slowly.
If his junior brothers and sisters had not created a hole, he might have died in the array formation. The level 4 snow lion that he was riding on also got a few bundles of white fur burned off, and it lost its original glamor and looked ugly now.
The Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators who were standing afar all turned their heads away and pretended not to see Mo Lianshan’s discomposure.
“Senior Brother, I can see that this array formation is solid. Why not leave half the people outside, and we can charge in with the rest,” a Core Formation Realm cultivator suggested, trying to break the awkward atmosphere.
Over 200 cultivators had rushed over just now, and 20 more Core Formation Realm cultivators were joining the group.
In total, there were 80 Core Formation Realm cultivators. If it were any other day, they were powerful enough to destroy five or six sects completely. However, they couldn’t even get through an energy sphere of a small valley.
If this kind of rumors were to spread on Sixth Heaven, there would be all sorts of discussions going. The other sects would think that Sky Mountain Sect was useless and might even think that they weren’t worthy of staying on Sixth Heaven.
“Senior, Hongyuan Master of Fire Sun Sect said that he could come help, but he wants a Sky Mountain Token,” a Core Formation Realm cultivator who was new to the area said to Mo Lianshan after some thought.
Hongyuan Master was one of the few Nascent Soul Realm cultivators on Fifth Heaven. Although he was only at low-tier Nascent Soul Realm, he was one of the most powerful cultivators on Fifth Heaven.
“Ps.h.!.+ That old man is daydreaming!” another Core Formation Realm cultivator immediately shouted with discontent.
Sky Mountain Sect did not lack Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. However, they were too proud to show up on Fifth Heaven. If Sky Mountain Sect had to receive help from the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators on Fifth Heaven, then would be a humiliation; especially since that Hongyuan Master was a man who had a big mouth. If he helped Sky Mountain Sect resolve this problem, then he would for sure let the entire Fifth Heaven know about this.
“Yeah! Grand Uncle-Master has junior sister’s life token. If she is dead, Grand Uncle-Master will notice for sure. Our junior sister is still alive; let us not humiliate ourselves!” Mo Lianshan said.
It was already humiliating enough not to be able to capture a small valley with tens of Core Formation Realm cultivators. If they called the cultivators on Fifth Heaven to help with attacking and not just for information, then they would destroy the reputation of Sky Mountain Sect.
The longer it took to resolve the situation, the more sects on Sixth Heaven would know of this. Other would know that Sky Mountain Sect could only practice elixir making and raise spirit beast when its overall strength was terrible.
“Hehehe, if you need my help, please say so.”
A chubby elder who was wearing a green robe appeared by the mountains.
Mo Lianshan and the other Core Formation Realm cultivators turned to look at this old man, and they all suddenly became pale.
This old man was Hongyuan Master, a low-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. He had come without invitation, watching as if it were a show.
“Get the f*ck out of here!”
An angry voice suddenly sounded from Sixth Heaven.
When Hongyuan Master heard this voice, his smile disappeared from his face. His face twitched, and he stepped onto a blue dharma treasure and flew away.
“I’m only in seclusion cultivation for 100 years, and Sky Mountain Sect has turned into such a joke! Tomorrow is when I end my seclusion. If Yao is harmed, then every single one of you doesn’t need to live!” The voice was thunderous; even Mo Lianshan and the other Core Formation Realm cultivators were shaking.
The Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators couldn’t withstand the sound waves and were all covering their ears. Along with their flying swords, they all fell into the canyon.
Although this happened, Mo Lianshan and the other Core Formation Realm cultivators were delighted and felt even more empowered.
Their grand uncle-master was finally ending his seclusion cultivation. That meant he had reached peak Nascent Soul Realm!
Other than those Soul Formation Realm cultivators whose powers were unmeasurable, the peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivators were indisputably the strongest!
The voice from Sixth Heaven suddenly ceased.
The great Nascent Soul Realm cultivators in these powerful sects would all follow their schedule strictly.
If they publicly announced that they would be in seclusion for 200 years, then they would for sure cultivate in their cave abodes for 200 years. They would not ever come out earlier unless their sect was being destroyed.
If they were in life-death seclusion cultivation to charge to top-tier Nascent Soul Realm, then they wouldn’t come out unless they achieved the realm.
Among the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, they said that it was unlucky to end seclusion cultivation early. However, once the expected date had been reached, then the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators’ friends and sects would come and celebrate on that date.
The Nascent Soul Realm cultivators were almost on the level of immortals. Therefore, they paid attention to their reputation more than anything.
Especially for the Grand Uncle-Master of Sky Mountain Sect. Since he enjoyed an excellent reputation, his celebration would be even greater. If he were to come out early, then other Nascent Soul Realm cultivators would think that Sky Mountain Sect was in big trouble. This sort of rumors was bad for Sky Mountain Sect.
After the Grand Uncle-Master’s voice disappeared, the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators who had fallen into the canyon all flew up on their flying swords with bruised faces.
“Junior Brothers and Sisters. Charge with me!” Mo Lianshan waved his black sword and charged at the blue energy sphere.
He had understood what the Grand Uncle-Master’s words meant. If they still couldn’t resolve the situation at Ethereal Summit, then the Grand Uncle-Master would show his wrath tomorrow!
Although Nascent Soul Realm cultivators on Sixth Heaven usually didn’t show themselves on Fifth Heaven, it was very humiliating for thousands of cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect not to be able to conquer a small valley.
The Grand Uncle-Master would personally show up here and take over. Then, no one would dare to utter a word.
However, these Core Formation Realm cultivators knew that they better resolve the situation here before the Grand Uncle-Master came. Otherwise, they would be punished for being useless.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Once they confirmed that their grand uncle-master was about to come out, these Core Formation Realm cultivators felt double the pressure but also were much more motivated; they used their dharma treasures and attacked with all their might against the blue energy sphere.
Crack!
They were able to break a small hole in the energy sphere, and Mo Lianshan led 39 Core Formation Realm cultivators and charged in.
The remaining 40 Core Formation Realm cultivators stayed outside and waited just in case that something happened.
When the three small sects that were covered by the blue energy sphere saw the 40 Core Formation Realm cultivators charging in with snow lions, they were all terrified.
There were only two or three Core Formation Realm cultivators in each of the three small sects. If the 40 cultivators split into three groups, they would be able to destroy all three sects.
Whoos.h.!.+ Hundreds of fireb.a.l.l.s came charging at the cultivators of Sky Mountain sect.
“Scatter!” Mo Lianshan ordered as he used his black sword to hit one of the fireb.a.l.l.s.
All these Core Formation Realm cultivators had vast real-life battle experience, and they were able to dash through the fireb.a.l.l.s instantly and surround the small energy sphere that was covering Ethereal Summit.
Hao Ren didn’t expect that there would be 40 Core Formation Realm cultivators charging in so quickly. These Core Formation Realm cultivators had risked everything to come in, and the array formation was crackling.
It was hard to say whether the interior energy sphere could withstand this if these Core Formation Realm cultivators all attacked at the same frequency at the same time.
Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi were both seriously injured. If these enemies were to charge in, Hao Ren would not be able to stop them on his own.
Hao Ren was a bit worried, so he injected an abundant amount of nature essence into the compa.s.s.
Thick mist surrounded the valley, and these cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect couldn’t even see their fingers. Even though it was cold, fireb.a.l.l.s were das.h.i.+ng at them non-stop.
“Let’s attack together!” His peers heard Mo Lianshan’s voice.
Boom! The 40 dharma treasures. .h.i.t the energy sphere simultaneously.
A loud explosion sounded in the valley, and the energy sphere almost collapsed.
“Attack again!” Mo Lianshan commanded.
Mo Lianshan had some array knowledge, so he knew that these double layered energy spheres could isolate enemies in an area, but the interior energy sphere was less st.u.r.dy. That was why if they attacked from all directions, they might be able to break the energy sphere.
The 40 dharma treasures. .h.i.t the energy sphere at the same time once again, and their snow lions took care of the fireb.a.l.l.s that were flying at them.
Hao Ren’s right hand that was pressed onto the compa.s.s was forced away.
The array formation could multiply the nature essence that Hao Ren put into the compa.s.s by ten times. However, if the array formation were impacted, then he would receive a lot of damage as well.
Suddenly, a soft hand was suddenly put on the back of Hao Ren’s hand.
Hao Ren put his palm on the compa.s.s again, and a weak yet pure streak of nature essence was injected into to compa.s.s through Hao Ren’s hand.
“Geng, Yin, White Tiger, Metal, Yin!” A soft voice sounded by Hao Ren’s ears.
The compa.s.s pointed at the respective spots, and the small energy sphere outside the valley started to blow heavy wind.
The fireb.a.l.l.s that were flying at the enemies through the mist turned into golden lights. If one looked carefully, these golden lights were actually flying daggers!
“Don’t be scared. It’s all just an illusion!” Mo Lianshan shouted.
Just when he finished his sentence, a white light went through his arm and cut a hole in his flesh.
“Ahhhhhhh…” all sorts of screeches sounded in the mist.
“Junior Brother Liu, Junior Brother Song…” Mo Lianshan called out hastily.
Another golden light dashed toward him, so Mo Lianshan rushed to use his black sword to block it. However, he heard a loud breaking noise. When he looked up, he saw that his black sword had been knocked away by half a meter!
“Retreat! Retreat!” Mo Lianshan cried.
This strange array formation was able to create actual metal daggers from nothing! It was as if there were hundreds of cultivators hiding in the mist and attacking them!
However, there was too bunch mist! They could stay at their positions and attack in one direction, but they got lost once they moved around.
The mist also seemed to block their voices. Mo Lianshan couldn’t hear his junior brothers and sisters’ shouts because the thick fog had almost stopped sound waves from moving.
“Are we going to all die here?” Mo Lianshan felt slightly in despair.
Inside the cave abode, Hao Ren slightly turned his head and saw Xie Yujia behind him.
She looked pale but still forced a smile onto her face.
“You’re really stupid. Zhen Congming gave you the array formation handbook, and it’s right beside the compa.s.s. You didn’t even read it,” she said.
Hao Ren looked at her and smiled even though times were tough. If they couldn’t live through today, they would probably die there.
Xie Yujia held the array formation handbook and read it carefully again. She used her soft hand to spin the compa.s.s, “Ding, Shen, Vermilion Bird, Water, Yang!”
Outside the energy sphere, large water waves suddenly appeared. Mo Lianshan thought they were illusions, but the waves quickly washed him off his snow lion’s back!
Inside the waves, there were fireb.a.l.l.s that would explode when they were touched.
“The people outside, listen carefully! Ethereal Summit isn’t a place that you can invade. If you leave quickly, I can spare your lives!”
Just when the explosion dizzied Mo Lianshan, a crisp voice sounded from the valley.
Hao Ren turned to look at Xie Yujia. He realized that her warning was actually quite impressive.
Xie Yujia only smiled softly. Her face was pale, but her cheeks were a bit red. Although the enemies. .h.i.t them hard, she still didn’t want to take their lives.
Hao Ren’s random spinning of the compa.s.s had some effects. However, if he had followed the instructions on how to operate the compa.s.s that Zhen Congming left, these Core Formation Realm cultivators would be dead for sure!
Under such urgent circ.u.mstances, it was necessary to force these Core Formation Realm cultivators away. Then, they would need to heal Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi’s injuries before dealing with Duan Yao!
