Bone Daoist and the group arrived in front of Mount Hua Immortal Gate and looked at the second-grade Sect in front of them with interest. As he watched, an old man in black robe standing next to Bone Daoist took a breath of air. "Big Bone Daoist, we'd better be careful during this trip. This Sect is not simple, its Mountain Guard Formation is very strong." "What did fellow corpse Taoist see?" "Murderous intention and vitality." Corpse Daoist answered very ambivalently. "Murder intention? Life intention? I am old and immortal, are you sure you read it correctly?" Among the six people, a big man wearing a flaming red robe, and even his beard and hair were flaming red. "If any of you can surpass me in formation skills, you can ask any questions you want, but it's a pity that you don't." Corpse Daoist counterattacked mercilessly. For Corpse Daoist's sarcasm, Fire Robe Man didn't care and just shrugged. Corpse Daoist, as a veteran Nascent Soul Cultivator, is most famous for his accomplishments in formations, which is ranked high on Moling Star. But it was also due to the fact that his life span was about to end that he hibernated in the hope of breaking through and creating glory again. Several people who were traveling with me had not been born for a long time due to the same reason. This time Bone Daoist’s proposal made them very tempted. Practitioners are meant to compete with others. What's more, these people whose deadline is approaching have no worries. The strong man in the fire robe was also a famous figure from thousands of years ago, called - Fire Rush. He is a master of fire magic and is famous for the "Stele Fist" he obtained in a Cave. Except for Bone Daoist, Corpse Daoist, and Fire Rush, the remaining three Gemeng are the only women. He is also the second Nascent Soul Great Perfection person. He looks elegant in palace attire, but he has the evil reputation of Massacre. Meng Fei and Meng Bai are twin brothers, and even the likes of Bone Daoist are afraid of the power of their combination. It was such a powerful lineup that appeared in the sky above Mount Hua Immortal Gate, attracting countless Cultivator spectators and discussions. The coexistence of murderous intent and vitality in the formation is not surprising, but also sentimental. Any killing formation has a life gate, leaving a glimmer of life. A formation with no life and ten deaths cannot be tolerated between the earth and the ground. Bone Daoist also understands this, so he pays attention to what Corpse Daoist has to offer. "The murderous intention of this formation lies in the fact that those who enter the formation are almost dead, but at the same time, this formation turns the vitality of those who rush into the formation into the vitality of those who defend the formation." "This is equivalent to those who break the formation, Use your own life to help the opponent defend the formation." "This formation cannot be broken from the outside, we can only start from the inside. Also, we must pay attention to the fact that the death of the people who defend the formation will not bring hope to the people who break the formation." The murderous intention is only for those who break the formation, and the vitality is only for those who maintain the formation."
Corpse Daoist explained that the six of them were now one entity, so there was nothing to hide.
They were not the only ones with this idea. While the six were observing, they noticed at least four groups hidden in the clouds, but they did not take action. Similarly, those four groups did not attack Bone Daoist and his companions, likely recognizing them. When they appeared, three of the groups retreated.
The only remaining group could only be referred to as a single person.
Yao Ming was the only one who did not leave. It was not that he did not want to retreat; he simply could not. Those who left had lifespans of at least over a hundred years, while he had merely ten years left. Whether he retreated or stayed, he faced death either way; thus, he had no choice but to fight.
An average Nascent Soul Cultivator has some understanding of formations, but the distinction lies in being "proficient." Yao Ming was not a master of formations and had not specialized in Formation. However, as a Cultivator who had been in the Nascent Soul Stage for a thousand years, he always had an inexplicable sense of danger.
Although this Sect gave him a vague feeling of danger, he charged forward without hesitation.
Jiang Chuan witnessed everything. The Mountain Guard Formation had long been activated; aside from a few disciples managing the formation's core, everyone else continued with their tasks. Only those in closed-door cultivation were called out to avoid being affected and going astray during the battle.
As a Sword Cultivator, Yao Ming never doubted his own attacks. Among all Cultivators, body cultivators and Sword Cultivators possessed the highest offensive power among their peers.
With a single Sword Slash, like falling stars, it struck instantly at the peak of the main hall. The people inside showed no reaction; a faint glow flickered as a sword capable of splitting mountains and seas was inexplicably halted mid-air, even startling none of the birds perched on the treetops—it simply vanished into thin air.
Yao Ming's pupils contracted as he flipped his Brilliant Gold Sword and continued to slash again, unleashing his full aura of Great Perfection. A golden sword energy shot out like a dragon. Halfway through its flight, it suddenly disappeared and reappeared above the Immortal Sect.
The full name of Mount Hua Immortal Gate Mountain Guard Formation is: Limitless Azure Sky Yellow Spring Formation.
It was an opportunity gained by an Ancient Ancestor of the Immortal Sect, rumored to be a formation from the immortal realm. However, only past Sect Leaders knew that the Limitless Azure Sky Yellow Spring Formation belonged to the sixth tier of formations. Like spells of the same tier, only those above the ninth tier could be considered immortal. The ability to utilize a sixth-tier formation to such an extent was solely due to Jiang Chuan replacing its core with the Celestial Artifact, the “Great Guardian Sword.”
A formation that only defends is terrifying; one that only attacks is dreadful. The pressure from the immortal sword elevated the power of the Limitless Azure Sky Yellow Spring Formation by at least one level, subtly reaching the pinnacle of a ninth-tier formation. Even Corpse Daoist could only grasp a rough idea but felt utterly helpless.
The sword light surged like a dragon caught in an invisible net, thrashing within a narrow range until its power dissipated. Such a massive attack occurred without any sound.
No one doubted Yao Ming's strength; rather, they thought more about the terror of Mount Hua Immortal Gate. An immortal sword and a Great Formation, this was not something an average second-tier Sect could wield. Even some first-tier sects and families' defensive Great Formations could not compare to this one.
To obtain the sword, one must first break through the formation. This was Yao Ming's only path forward; since he had made his move, there was no need to think about anything else. All his plans were beautiful in theory, but just one Mountain Guard Formation blocked him outside. Not to mention there were still six yellow orioles above him.
With all his Spirit Energy surging forth and no retreating possible, Yao Ming performed his technique with some impropriety; however, the pride of a Nascent Soul Ancestor remained intact. He opened his mouth and spat out a palm-sized sword that quietly hovered before him.
“Infant Sword.” The expression on Bone Daoist changed dramatically.
“This old monster Yao truly has deep schemes; if it weren't for his impending Cataclysm, he probably wouldn't have revealed it.”
As the Infant Sword emerged, Yao Ming summoned the Brilliant Gold Sword. The power of the Infant Sword did not lie in itself but in its enhancements. The Infant Sword was an evolution of the Sword Essence, akin to a dan breaking into an infant, representing a higher level of advancement.
Sword Essence was easy to cultivate, but the Infant Sword was difficult to achieve. Like a sponge absorbing water, the Infant Sword melded into the Brilliant Gold Sword.
A sharp clang echoed through the void.
An unmatched aura of sharpness erupted from the Brilliant Gold Sword.
If the previous Brilliant Gold Sword was merely an inanimate object, now, infused with the Infant Sword, it was alive with spirit. Yao Ming did not wish to reveal the existence of the Infant Sword, but to break through the formation, relying solely on the power of the Brilliant Gold Sword was absolutely insufficient. With no better options available, he had no choice but to proceed this way.
Three strikes with the Infant Sword were Yao Ming's limit: one to break through the formation, one to seize a sword, and one to intercept Big Bone Daoist and others. This was his plan for wielding the sword.
Within Zuo Wang Peak, Zuo Dao gazed at the Brilliant Gold Sword in midair, his eyes gleaming with excitement. Even Yan Zhen and others nearby felt a chill at his expression and instinctively distanced themselves from him. He resembled a lecherous man, saliva nearly dripping to the ground.
Unaware of himself, Zuo Dao wiped away his drool.
"What a marvelous thing the Infant Sword is! How wonderful it would be if I could consume it."
The crowd shivered; could that thing even be eaten?
