Li Hong was not acting on a whim. The Celestial Sect Alliance was still besieging Heavenly Grain, making it difficult for their side to enter and for those inside to come out, resulting in a stalemate. This battle had to be won; only by cutting off the Ancient Celestial Field from their hands could they gain the upper hand and thwart the Demon Sect's schemes.
If they were to act, it must be decisive and precise!
Qingqinzi and the Demon Sect were not to be underestimated. They had already gained access to the Center Restriction, and if they uncovered the secrets of the temple and intervened here, things could become irretrievable.
Watching the Spirit of the Hall busily at work, Li Hong feigned leisure as he stood with his hands behind his back.
The Spirit of the Hall, however, had no suspicions at all and soon reported, "Star Sovereign, the entrance to Starfield has been changed to the central hall of Desert Castle. Now anyone wishing to enter must pass through the Wandering Path of the Stars. What do you think, Star Sovereign?"
"Well done," Li Hong praised lightly.
The Spirit of the Hall relaxed and smiled, saying, "There is one more matter to report to Star Sovereign. There are still some idle people within Starfield. They are those Skyward Valley Disciples who usually come and go for herb gathering. How should we handle them?"
"Let them be."
"Understood."
The Ancient Celestial Field was vast, and these Skyward Valley Disciples who entered for herb gathering were not weak in cultivation and were familiar with the spatial terrain. As long as they hid in a safe place, they would be fine for years. Moreover, during this time of conflict, hiding inside was actually the safest option. It would not be too late to find a way to move them out after this period.
At that moment, the Spirit of the Hall said, "Report to Star Sovereign, that big fellow has come out!"
Li Hong was overjoyed. "Let's go take a look!"
********
Heavenly Grain.
In front of the entrance to the Ancient Celestial Field, the Heavenly Polar North Dipper Ancient Mirror was positioned beneath the Oni, whose mouth was wide open, channeling invisible waves of star power directly towards the entrance of the Ancient Celestial Field, tightly connecting the Heavenly Grain with it.
At the same time that the Spirit of the Hall changed the entrance, the Heavenly Polar North Dipper Ancient Mirror and Azure Light surged. Moments later, the Oni beneath the mirror suddenly came to life with a roar that echoed like thunder.
The winds of Heavenly Grain rose violently, and an invisible vortex of force erupted at the entrance to the Ancient Celestial Field.
A fierce wind swept through the grass, causing Medicine Peak to tremble violently. The clouds above Medicine Peak rapidly darkened layer by layer, and in an instant, Heavenly Grain transformed from day into night. Countless disciples shouted in panic, feeling the ground beneath them shaking as if disaster was imminent.
Qingqinzi and Qing Yizi were in the council hall when their expressions suddenly changed. They rushed outside. Upon seeing what was happening, Qingqinzi turned pale, her footing unsteady as she nearly fell. Qing Yizi quickly caught her and exclaimed in distress, "How could this happen! Something's wrong in the Ancient Celestial Field!"
Finally regaining her composure, Qingqinzi shook off Qing Yizi and shouted, "Senior Brother, go to the Guardian Hall and make sure to defend the formation with all your strength! I will check on the Ancient Celestial Field!"
"Be careful, Junior Sister!"
The two parted ways and swiftly headed towards their respective destinations.
Qingqinzi transformed into a streak of Azure Light, moving with incredible speed. Over the years, her cultivation had continuously improved; she was now undoubtedly at the Late Stage of Nascent Soul, even surpassing Qing Yizi. She had become the highest cultivator in Heavenly Grain.
At this moment, she no longer concealed her cultivation and rushed towards the entrance of the Ancient Celestial Field behind Medicine Peak with all her might, arriving at the entrance in an instant.
The elite elders guarding this area at the Guardian Hall were already thrown into disarray. It was clear to anyone that the Heavenly Polar North Dipper Ancient Mirror had lost its connection with the Ancient Celestial Field. The consequences were extremely serious.
Originally, Qingqinzi thought that no one could enter or exit the Ancient Celestial Field since it only had this one entrance that could not be breached. As long as they maintained a connection between Heavenly Grain and the Ancient Celestial Field, then outsiders like the Celestial Sect Alliance would effectively be attacking Ancient God Restrictions directly—something that could not be broken through no matter what. It was even more secure than the Misty Herbal Concealment Formation set up by Heavenly Grain Ancestor Shennong.
However, she underestimated fate; she was completely wrong! The Ancient Celestial Field was not without a master; its current master was Li Hong!
The Ancient Celestial Field has completely separated from Heavenly Grain, and we must quickly move the Heavenly Polar North Dipper Ancient Mirror back to the Guardian Hall. If the Celestial Sect Alliance outside notices any changes, they will take this opportunity to attack, and Heavenly Grain will face utter destruction.
Qingqinzi is still not giving up. She shouts, "No one is allowed to act recklessly!" Approaching the entrance of the Ancient Celestial Field, she senses something and her face turns pale. Any hope she had is gone.
Indeed, the Ancient Celestial Field is now inaccessible!
She stares in shock, her beautiful face already glistening with fine beads of sweat. At the same time, she wonders in her heart, could this be the work of Xiao Lang?
No! She quickly dismisses that thought. Xiao Lang would never betray her.
She begins to feel somewhat comforted; at least Xiao Lang has already left. Otherwise, he might be trapped in the Ancient Celestial Field forever and would never be able to meet her again.
Qingqinzi's mind is filled with thoughts of her beloved, completely forgetting that there are still over a hundred elite disciples from her sect inside the Ancient Celestial Field gathering herbs.
"Everyone, quickly lend me a hand! Move the Heavenly Gang North Dipper Ancient Mirror back to the Guardian Hall!"
"Understood!"
All the elders surround the Heavenly Polar North Dipper Ancient Mirror, with Qingqinzi as the main force. Azure Light emanates from their outstretched hands. Each person exerts their full strength; the Azure Light steams with heat, and a circle of fine water light rises around each of them.
The Heavenly Polar North Dipper Ancient Mirror is extremely heavy; describing it as a mountain would not be an exaggeration. Moving it requires immense effort and cannot be done easily. It took considerable strength to move it here initially, and returning it will require just as much effort.
With Qingqinzi and the Elders working together with all their might, the Heavenly Polar North Dipper Ancient Mirror is finally lifted inch by inch. Over thirty elders form a circle around the ancient mirror and slowly ascend into the sky.
The ancient mirror shines brightly; invisible star power continues to operate. However, during this movement process, the Misty Herbal Concealment Formation guarding all of Heavenly Grain becomes unstable.
Everyone knows this principle, and the atmosphere is heavy; the subordinates dare not make any mistakes.
Gradually, the crowd centered around the Ancient Mirror has flown to the midsection of Medicine Peak. They are now at a high altitude, having covered half the distance; as long as they reach the Summit, they will arrive at the Guardian Hall.
A flash of golden light streaked by in an instant.
Blood rained down as the elders, who were exerting all their strength to move the Ancient Mirror, realized that there was actually a traitor among their ranks, striking from behind at such a critical moment! With a long, mournful cry, at least ten elders were hit by this golden light; several were instantly reduced to fragments, while the rest fell from the sky amidst their screams, crashing to the ground and turning into mush.
About ten Golden Pills flew out from the shattered bodies, swirling chaotically in the air, their souls crying out in agony.
The Heavenly Polar North Dipper Ancient Mirror suddenly tilted and was about to fall from the sky. Qingqinzi's throat made a choking sound; she nearly exhausted all her strength to stabilize the Ancient Mirror. She turned her head abruptly.
She sensed something was wrong as soon as the incident occurred, but the attacker did not target her directly, perhaps knowing they were outmatched.
That person was quickly fleeing. Qingqinzi had no time to spare; she shouted, "Qiu Mingzi! It's you!"
Having struck successfully, Qiu Mingzi dared not linger. Seeing a gap about a foot wide appear above Heavenly Grain, he swiftly flew upward.
The fortunate surviving Elders were all pale and trembling uncontrollably; that scene had been incredibly perilous. Fortunately, Qiu Mingzi had not targeted them!
"Steady!" Qingqinzi raised her head, her eyes nearly bleeding with rage as she glared at Qiu Mingzi disappearing into that gap high above.
He is one of Immortal Sect!
"Traitor! Shameless spy! How could I have trusted you so much!" Qingqinzi cursed loudly while an overwhelming sense of helplessness surged within her.
The Misty Herbal Concealment Formation has developed a gap, and the traitor has escaped to report. The Ancient Celestial Field can no longer be accessed. The next moment awaiting these individuals is the frenzied attack from the Celestial Sect Alliance.
With so many experts outside watching closely, Qingqinzi understands that the situation is dire.
Her thoughts raced, and she called out, "Hold the formation steady! I will go catch that damned traitor!"
In a flash of Azure Light, Qingqinzi threw down the Heavenly Polar North Dipper Ancient Mirror and slipped through the gap.
The remaining twenty or so elders felt an increased pressure, each exerting all their strength. Without Qingqinzi as the main force, they simply could not move the Heavenly Polar North Dipper Ancient Mirror. Instead of rising, the ancient mirror began to descend, inch by inch.
The elders' faces turned pale as they could only do their best to prevent the ancient mirror from falling. They were terrified and looked up at the sky.
The gap widened further, and they could see shadows moving above. A loud voice echoed in everyone's ears: "The Heavenly Grain Array has been broken! Brothers, follow me in!"
A white figure swiftly passed through the gap and appeared before the elders who were supporting the Heavenly Polar North Dipper Ancient Mirror. This person was unremarkable in appearance—thin and small, with a patchy yellow beard and eyes that were not black like ordinary people but amber instead.
Spirit Stone curiously exclaimed, "What are you all doing holding up this mirror?"
Seeing the enemy enter without any way to intercept them, the elders' hands trembled as the ancient mirror began to sway again.
From above came Xuan Xuzi's clear voice: "Spirit Stone, that is the eye of the Misty Herbal Concealment Formation—the Heavenly Polar North Dipper Ancient Mirror! They have brought this upon themselves!"
"Ha ha! So you were delayed by this broken mirror! Come on, let me help you!" Spirit Stone laughed heartily.
"No!" An Azure Shadow darted in like lightning and appeared right behind Spirit Stone.
A chorus of startled exclamations rang out from above: "Be careful!"
Spirit Stone suddenly turned around, and Qing Yizi's pale, round face was almost within reach. The Gale Fire Sword was swiftly summoned, but it was too late. A flash of purple-gold light appeared as Spirit Stone collided solidly with Qing Yizi's purple-gold gourd.
Blood rained down as Spirit Stone was sent flying, caught in the arms of the rushing Ling Yi Zi.
With only late-stage Golden Core cultivation, he was no match for Qing Yizi, who had already reached mid-stage Nascent Soul!
A faint smile appeared on Spirit Stone's face as he weakly said, "I was too careless!" His eyes slowly closed.
"Senior Brother!" Ling Yi Zi shouted, his eyes wide open, a cold killing intent erupting like a mountain.
********
Elder Heavenly Grain struggled to lift the ancient mirror while he and Qing Yizi realized they had fallen into the encirclement of the Immortal Sect. Over a hundred figures surrounded them, mocking and closing in.
The ancient mirror shook, and Qing Yizi's heart bled as he sorrowfully said, "Junior Sister, you have truly betrayed me!"
The Heaven and Earth Two Instruments Vase glowed with brilliant light, slowly rising from Qing Yizi's hand. He had decided to gamble his life.
"Roar," the white tiger of Xuan Xuzi let out a fierce cry.
The White Shadow grew larger and in an instant covered the magnificent light of Qing Yizi's Heaven and Earth Two Instruments Vase.
"Qing Yizi, your time is up; surrender!"
"No!" Qing Yizi shouted as the Heaven and Earth Two Instruments Vase suddenly enlarged, soaring high into the sky and striking towards the White Tiger's head.
"You're asking for death!" Yiyang sneered, and the Dual Blades shot out like lightning.
A brilliant explosion erupted in the sky, blindingly bright, as if the sun had fallen into the Mortal Realm. The Heaven and Earth Two Instruments Vase shattered, colorful shards raining down on everyone's heads and faces.
Qing Yizi's movements abruptly halted as he looked down in a daze at his chest, where two thin blood holes were oozing with blood.
Life was swiftly draining away.
"Junior Sister, why did you leave? Why did you abandon me? Why did you push us into such a situation?" Qing Yizi murmured, the face of his enemy wavering before him.
Unconsciously, he recalled the beautiful face of Qingqinzi, sometimes as cold as ice, sometimes smiling sweetly.
Amidst a sea of flowers, the fragrance of medicine wafted through the air. That slender figure in green appeared and disappeared, turning to smile at him with innocence and unparalleled purity. This scene was deeply etched in his mind, a memory that began in his childhood.
Relying on each other through thick and thin, only to end up with nothing!
Qing Yizi closed his eyes and fell from the sky.
