Chapter 364: Chapter 286: Seven-Star Mountain Range Map, Schemes of All
But now, Qingyang Temple has laid out such a formation, it’s a blatant strategy. If we just leave like this, won’t people look down on our Daoist School?
He absolutely does not want this.
"Xuan Guang, could it be that you can’t gather seven Golden Core cultivators?!"
At this moment, that black-robed Golden Core cultivator suddenly ridiculed with a sentence.
"I will break the formation in one day!"
Master Xuan Guang did not say more, leaving only these words, and returned to the Celestial Net Dharma Boat.
Watching the back of Master Xuan Guang, the black-robed Golden Core smiled faintly, said no more, and transformed into a mass of black spiritual light, landing at the very center of the array.
...
...
Celestial Net Dharma Boat.
Master Yanghua, Master Yanming, Master of Mount Jing, and the two Golden Core cultivators from the Three Mountains Alliance all gathered together. At this moment, seeing Master Xuan Guang return, they immediately bowed.
"Senior Brother, are you truly going to face off against this Qingyang Demon Observation?"
Master Yanghua’s face was gloomy, speaking angrily.
"Indeed, why did Senior Brother agree to them? Qingyang Demon Observation dares to meddle in our Daoist School’s affairs. Do they think our school’s sword is dull?"
"Senior Brother Tiandou is returning soon, then we’ll surely show them a lesson. How dare they act so rampantly within our school’s territory!"
Master Yanming also showed a dissatisfied expression.
"When Senior Brother Tiandou returns, the Five Demon Old Ghosts from Qingyang Demon Observation will also emerge. By then, won’t things remain the same?"
Master Xuan Guang sighed slightly.
"Qingyang Demon Observation is making this expulsion game, stirring this undercurrent storm, just to test our strength and regain their past stature. Over the years, Qingyang Demon Observation has probably practiced many Demon Seals in secret, wanting to use us as whetstones for their blade."
"If we retreat from this battle, wouldn’t it just confirm we are afraid?"
"These years, ten out of ten Demon Technique Seals secretly are flowing from Qingyang Demon Observation."
"If we avoid the fight, and they lead Vast Sea Sect’s few Golden Cores back to Qingyang Demon Observation safely a month later, how will the world view our Daoist School?"
"Must we rely on Senior Brother Tiandou for everything?"
"Moreover, Old Ghost Black Flame arranged this magical combat quite wisely, preserving the face of both sects. Regardless of who wins or loses, it’s just magical combat between early and mid-stage Golden Cores; the top Golden Core individuals like Senior Brother Tiandou won’t take action, keeping the situation within acceptable limits."
Master Xuan Guang is not a fool. He can understand Qingyang Demon Observation’s intentions, yet has no choice but to fight.
We are all Major Sect Golden Cores, are we truly afraid of your Demon Sect?
Wanting to take away Vast Sea Sect safely, that’s simply wishful thinking!
Fortunately, he has already refined the Swaying Golden Lotus; let’s use this Qingyang Demon Observation as a stepping stone to fame!
"You can’t escape it, sooner or later there will be a battle. It’s better to fight now and see Qingyang Demon Observation’s tactics."
Master of Mount Jing wasn’t conflicted, directly agreed with Master Xuan Guang’s proposal.
"Though that’s the case, even with the two of us added, there are merely six Golden Core cultivators, how can we break the formation?"
"Moreover, Vast Sea Sect as a whole has succumbed to Demon Possession; they surely practiced Demon Seals and Evil Techniques, with our strength, we might be lacking!"
Seeing Master Xuan Guang finish the discussion, Celestial Daoist and Earth Daoist from the Three Mountains Alliance glanced at each other and suddenly said with a bitter smile.
Celestial Daoist is quite old, almost eight hundred spring seasons in age, with a youthful appearance and white hair, holding a dragon-headed cane, appearing deeply powerful and quite imposing.
But anyone knows their own situation; he is from Loose Cultivator background, weak in strength. Years ago, during a conflict in a Secret Realm, he used a Tiger Wolf Seal out of necessity, damaging his foundation, making him stop at early-stage Golden Core forever.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be a matter with Vast Sea Sect.
Now Qingyang Demon Observation suddenly plays some breaking formation magical combat game. Seeing how things look, the two of them have no choice but to enter the fray; and how should they face this?
If he could fight against Vast Sea Sect, why would he seek Qing Peak Daoist School?
At this moment, Celestial Daoist’s mind was racing, considering abandoning the profound path for demon cultivation.
Since it’s impossible to breakthrough to mid-stage Golden Core, it’s better to cultivate a few Demon Seals, expand means, and protect the foundation of the Three Mountains Alliance.
"Fellow Daoist, don’t worry!"
"I have sent orders for another Golden Core from our Daoist School to come; if time is calculated properly, they should arrive soon, we can definitely gather seven people!"
Master Xuan Guang swiftly sensed Celestial Daoist’s intentions and smiled to reassure him.
This is why he must fight; otherwise, everyone would consider practicing Demon Seals.
"But, the four-direction Array Hub must be broken to break the formation. I’m afraid we two may drag down the situation!"
Celestial Daoist sighed deeply, his gaze flickering.
"Fellow Daoist, remain calm!"
"They say we must enter the formation, should we just obediently enter? Who knows what’s within the formation, whether there are sinister things that may harm us?"
Master Xuan Guang stroked his beard with a smile, then waved his sleeve, and took out a golden scroll.
The scroll slowly opened, shimmering with golden light, spiritual light soaring, revealing an array map.
On the array map, there are diagrams of seven Spirit Peaks, arranged in a seven-star formation, majestically standing, seemingly suppressing everything.
"This array map is called the Seven-Star Mountain Range Map, crafted painstakingly by me as a high-grade magical treasure array map!"
"Tomorrow, when we enter the formation, I will hold this map, activate the grand array; you all stand beside me, then you can receive the array’s augmentation, empowered by the mountain range, unaffected by the sinister formation."
"If someone can break a hub within the array, they can recite the name of a star peak, move it to another hub within the array, and assist in breaking another!"
"If we are truly unable to contend with the Demon Cultivators, recite my name, and I can transfer them out of the formation, preventing loss of life!"
