I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

Chapter 366: Chapter 287: Entering the Formation, the Treasure Mirror Displays Its Might!

A day later, the skies were clear and the weather calm.

For a thousand miles around, it was a rare spell of good weather.

Only above the Vast Sea Sect, dark clouds gathered, and seven illusory gates flickered in and out, starlight descending, devoured by a gigantic demon, transforming into the driving force for the grand array.

On the shallow beach, the earth veins trembled, and if someone sharp was present, they could notice the crust of the beach rising slightly, continually being drawn upward.

It was as if there was an infinite suction descending from the celestial vault, attempting to pull the entire shallow beach away.

At this moment, outside the dark clouds, seven figures suddenly flew rapidly towards them, standing together with immense mana fluctuating fiercely, shredding the floating clouds across the sky. The leading figure had golden lotuses in his eyes, brilliantly radiant, with extremely profound mana.

"It is indeed an Array of Shifting!"

Master Xuan Guang, standing at the forefront, looked at the grand array in front of him and couldn’t help but snort coldly.

If this Dao struggle were lost, it would not only damage the Daoist School’s prestige but also aid the Qingyang Demon Observation with three Golden Core cultivators and a whole sect.

It absolutely must not be lost!

However, Gu Yuan eyed the grand array before him with curiosity.

The day before, after rushing to the Vast Sea Sect, he was taken into the Celestial Net Dharma Boat by Master Xuan Guang, where the whole situation was explained to him; now he understood the purpose of his trip.

Enter the array, break the array hub, and win the conflict with the Qingyang Demon Observation.

Things were not complicated.

He just hadn’t expected that Qingyang Temple would act this way.

In his view, the methods of Qingyang Temple were intense and bizarre; this time, they would definitely seize the chance when Senior Brother Tiandou and others weren’t at the Daoist School, and directly expel all the Golden Core cultivators of Cyan Peak Daoist School.

They aimed to overthrow the Three Mountains Alliance, absorb the Vast Sea Sect into Qingyang Temple’s influence, and use it as a stronghold to incessantly erode the Profound Sect cultivators in Cyan Peak Daoist School, and to bewitch those older Golden Core cultivators.

If they were even more ruthless, they’d directly ambush and destroy Master Yanghua and several other Golden Core cultivators, cutting off one arm of the Daoist School.

But unexpectedly, in the end, they’d formed an array and engaged in a Dao struggle.

It seemed somewhat childish and play-like.

Yet after some thought, he finally understood the intentions of Qingyang Temple.

If the Daoist Embryo is not dead, the situation remains stable!

For Tier Four Sect forces, their greatest heritage is not the Golden Core but the Daoist Embryo.

The Daoist Embryo is the core that suppresses Tier Four Sects.

To seize resources under the suppression of a Daoist Embryo, one must have justification.

If they won the Dao struggle, took away the Vast Sea Sect, and spread the Demon Seal, Cyan Peak Daoist School would have no choice but to accept it.

But if they ambushed and killed, using strength to oppress the weak, the Daoist Embryo would instantly intervene.

If a Daoist Embryo battle were lost, it would be catastrophic!

Qingyang Demon Observation harbors ambition, but in the current situation, this ambition must tread cautiously, not daring to be excessively conspicuous.

"Still a bit petty..."

"Without strength, one should lie in wait, nurture a Daoist Embryo, why engage in these petty skirmishes, wait for the Daoist Embryo to emerge and it’ll directly suppress everything, seize the surroundings, and reconstruct the heavens..."

Gu Yuan shook his head slightly in his heart, yet at the last moment, he reined in his scattered thoughts.

After all, for the Daoist Embryo, this was mere play, but to himself and his companions, it was tangible interest.

At night, Master Xuan Guang convened several members of the Daoist School, and secretly deliberated that if they won this battle, the Vast Sea Sect would be entirely plundered, left barren, as a price for their intervention.

The Three Mountains Alliance would also suffer great losses!

"Hahaha, Fellow Daoist Xuan Guang, we have awaited you for some time now, please enter the array quickly!"

At this moment, a hearty laugh came from within the dark clouds.

Moreover, Gu Yuan and the others clearly sensed several cold divine thoughts probing them from within.

"Splash!"

Upon hearing this, Master Xuan Guang chuckled softly, saying nothing, directly waving his sleeve to produce the Seven-Star Mountain Range Map, from which seven Spirit Peak phantoms immediately emerged, standing suspended over the Daoist School members’ heads.

The suppressive force of mountain ranges spiraled down, shielding the seven.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Guang, what is the meaning of this?"

An icy questioning voice came from the dark clouds.

"Fellow Daoist Black Flame, didn’t you want to witness my capabilities?"

"Here are my capabilities!"

Master Xuan Guang stroked his beard with a smile, a hint of pride in his eyes.

This Seven-Star Mountain Range Map was indeed his heartfelt creation, and once gathered with seven Golden Cores, it truly had great power.

"What do you intend to do?"

A cold snort came from within the dark clouds.

"Fellow Daoist Black Flame, it’s not that I distrust you, but you set up such a grand array, claiming it to be a Dao struggle; who knows what truly lies within?"

"This array map here is merely an extra layer of assurance!"

"The strong continuously remain strong, the weak continuously weak; back then, in the magical combat between our two sects, wasn’t there a feat where the mighty broke through array after array? When breaking arrays, one naturally relies on their own methods!"

Master Xuan Guang spoke coldly.

Silence lingered within the dark clouds, several divine thoughts entwined, seemingly discussing, then a voice responded: "In that case, enter the array!"

After the words, the dark clouds whirled with fierce winds, a large amount of starlight plummeting from the celestial vault, the world suddenly darkened as if entering night, and the seven gates became menacing like demons opening their wide, bloody mouths, staring hungrily at everyone present.

"Let’s go!"

"The reputation of the Daoist School rests in our hands!"

"But don’t carry burdens, if circumstances become urgent, immediately recite my name to transport out of the array!"

"Strive if you can, but do not exert beyond possibility!"

Master Xuan Guang turned to remind his companions, then held the scroll of the array map, striding boldly towards the gate in the center of the dark clouds.

The two from the Three Mountains Alliance exchanged a glance, their eyes flickered, and did not enter the array immediately.
