Chapter 418: Ten Absolute Formation Causes Turbulence
One needs sharp eyes to see the exquisite magical powers, and unfortunately, Feng Yang is one of them. He appears to be kind and talkative on the surface, but in fact he is constantly making small moves in secret.
He said some polite words, but actually he used a secret method to urge Lei Ben to take action. It was fine as Gu Qingyuan's background was unknown, but when Wang Yansheng showed his prominence, Feng Yang had some guesses. He had used the Dayan Tianshu to calculate cause and effect before the catastrophe. For this purpose, he abolished the Taoism of a thousand-year-old turtle spirit in the Laobo Pond of Dangyang Mountain, the headquarters of Taiqing Sect, and took a new tortoise shell for divination. He got some of the secrets of heaven and clarified the origin of Tianmingzi.
Now that he had seen that Wang Yansheng had some of the aura of the Son of Destiny, he was not willing to let him go, so he sent Lei Ben to cause trouble. Unexpectedly, he was defeated by Master Qinghong in just three or five rounds.
Feng Yang was proud of his skills in swordsmanship and calculations. He saw clearly with his eyes that although Lei Ben had escaped with his life by chance, his luck had been broken and he would die soon.
'Lei Ben has become a big shot in recent years, and he seems to be getting bigger and bigger. He has two minds, and this confidant is almost a big problem. I wanted to use Lei Ben to make some plans. If it works, I can test Qing Hong's strength. If it doesn't work, I can eliminate a big hidden danger in the future. I didn't expect him to be defeated so easily. Well, since his luck has been lost, I will just send him off.'
Feng Yang thought to himself, watching Lei Ben walk away on thunder, this fellow Daoist Lei cannot be kept alive! He immediately sent a message in a veiled way to prevent Lei Ben from saying something he shouldn't say.
Lei Ben flew away like a headless fly, feeling secretly resentful. If Feng Yang had not sent him a message urging him to die, he would not have been in such trouble. However, he did not go to his own Shenyuan Sect. The Shenyuan Sect he managed was not only an iron bucket, but also like a sieve. He didn't know how much sand Feng Yang had mixed in. Lei Ben pretended not to know and opened a small cave overseas, hiding all the resources in it, just for the purpose of making a comeback in the future.
He was now blinded by the aura of calamity, and the divine will was not revealed. Even if the external calamity of war and the internal calamity of demons occurred at the same time, he could not calculate it. He just wanted to escape. As a wandering immortal, his speed was not slow. In a few hours, he crossed most of the Middle Earth. Seeing the wind and waves, he had already arrived at the North Sea.
Lei Ben didn't think much about it and rushed into it, trying to use the water veins to conceal his breath and walk on the seabed. Not long after, the waves suddenly exploded, revealing several whirlpools and water tornadoes. The lightning and sword energy from the sky were moving in all directions, as if someone was fighting.
Then the waves subsided, and several figures walked out of the water, all wearing hoodies to hide their auras and iron masks to conceal their appearances. They looked at each other and asked, "Have you packed up the things in the cave?"
"Some of the magic weapons may be entangled in karma, so they have not been moved. All the elixirs and precious medicines have been put into the bag."
After a few people talked for a while, one of them sneered and said, "You can't even be a good dog. If you lose your loyalty, you can only be killed and eaten. Being buried in the belly of a fish is also a good destination."
"You stay out for a few months and come back to the sect when this matter is settled. I will go and greet the distinguished guest who is coming soon."
The group of people responded in unison and flew away with their swords. The remaining person stopped for a moment, then stood up and flew to the southeast. On the way, he tore off his outer clothes and took off his iron mask, revealing the standard Taoist robe of the Taiqing Sect, acting like a righteous master.
At the bottom of the North Sea, Lei Ben's corpse was destroyed and chopped into hundreds and thousands of pieces. The aura of his immortal body leaked out, attracting countless fish and shrimps to compete for food. The ocean currents swirled, carrying the immortal body and the fish and shrimps all the way to the bottom. The temperature gradually became colder as they went deeper, and at the deepest part, there was an ice cave that was so cold that it was bone-chilling, called the Mysterious Ice Eye.
The Xuanbing Eye is an ice spike that pierces into the seabed thousands of feet away. It is dark and deep inside, and no one knows what is hidden inside. Endless water vapor and cold air spew out from all around the Xuanbing Eye. Strands of frost cling to the seabed and freeze the entire sea area. Once the fish, shrimp and minced meat float in, they are wrapped by the ice spike and fixed in one place. In addition, countless sea beasts are trapped in the ice spike, forming a cold kingdom of ice and freeze, water and frost, as if time has come to a standstill here.
Suddenly, the Xuanbing Eye that was spewing cold air stopped slightly, and countless cold currents strangled the living creatures around. For a moment, blood surged and was frozen into blood-colored ice chips by the cold air. The Xuanbing Eye suddenly shattered, and a figure walked out from the depths of the Xuanbing Eye.
As soon as that figure appeared, endless fire swept across the seabed. The frost kingdom formed by the Mysterious Ice Eye was gradually thawed by the heat. Before the sea beast that was about to escape could move, the figure opened his mouth slightly, revealing two protruding fangs, and took a deep breath. Countless ice fragments of the sea beasts were crushed, and the broken limbs and flesh were turned into a vast ocean of blood.
A trace of blood and flesh essence was absorbed into Youquan's stomach. He smacked his lips and said, "Why is there still the stink of a righteous immortal?"
Now his body is gray, with only red fire marks running all over his body. As soon as he appeared, endless fire evaporated the sea water, causing countless bubbles to appear, and actually boiled the sea water.
'That immortal is really abominable. He even used heavenly thunder and earthly fire to destroy me. Unfortunately, my destiny is not over yet. I borrowed the cold air from this black ice eye to suppress my anger and use the power of thunder and fire for my own use. I have been silent for several years. It is time for me to take the stage and perform a big show!'
Youquan raised his leg, and the sea was boiled by raging fire and steam was rising. This was in the deep sea. If it were on land, it would destroy the water veins in every area and turn it into dry land if it stood still for a moment, just like the drought demon that covered a thousand miles of barren land.
He gathered all his anger, spread his wings, and flew away over the sea.
On the other side, the righteous immortals were speechless for a moment, and it was Feng Yang who spoke to break the deadlock.
"Daoyou Qinghong's magical powers are unparalleled, which really opened our eyes. Lei Ben made a mistake in his words, so he deserves to suffer."
He didn't even look at the man who had collapsed to the ground: "In this great calamity, the righteous Dao has Taoist friend Qing Hong appear, which increases the chances of victory."
As he spoke, he waved his Taoist robe, took out a treasure boat from his sleeve and threw it into the open space outside. The treasure boat swelled up as soon as it landed on the ground, occupying an area of several miles. It was fully equipped with pavilions and towers, and was painted in gold, looking very magnificent.
"The most urgent task is to break the formation as soon as possible, eliminate a great threat to our righteous path, and save the people from disaster. My golden ship comes and goes like the wind, and it is just right to carry you fellow believers."
With just a few words, all the calculations were put to rest. The scattered immortals also had a way out and could not stop praising the profound heritage of Taiqing Sect. Feng Yang came forward again to invite Gu Qingyuan. Gu Qingyuan smiled in his heart. A group of people had calculated this and that, but they just didn't take the Nine Bends of the Yellow River formation seriously. He thought that they would suffer a lot, but he didn't insist and got on the boat.
A group of wandering immortals and second-generation geniuses boarded the ship. Although there were many people, the golden ship was very spacious and not crowded. As for the wandering cultivators who had no seats and no qualifications to attend the meeting, if they wanted to go to the East China Sea, they could only use their own tricks. If they went too late, not only could they not get any benefits, they would not even be able to smell the taste of their farts.
The golden ship rose into the sky, breaking through the clouds and mist, and fled amid the envious gazes of the practitioners from small sects on the ground. Without any setbacks, it sailed all the way to the sea estuary, beyond the East China Sea, at the Wumen Gorge.
Before the golden boat could stop in the air, a drought thunderbolt struck the side of the golden boat. Feng Yang was controlling the golden boat's treasure pearl to urge the golden boat to fly. The drought thunderbolt came and went without a trace and struck him suddenly. He was shocked and quickly withdrew his magic power, and only set up the defensive formation carried on the treasure boat.
Fortunately, Lei Ying just said hello and there was no second sign. A group of immortals surrounded Feng Yang and took off the treasure boat. Gu Qingyuan fell behind, followed by Wang Yansheng.
Feng Yang stood in mid-air and looked up. He saw yellow sand rolling over the Wumen Gorge and the qi was out of balance. It was obvious that the gorge had been enveloped by a large formation.
"Who are you? Tell me your name. We will not kill nameless people!"
As he was watching, several people came riding on divine lights and mounts, facing Feng Yang and calling out to him. Feng Yang looked up and saw that those people were wearing a one-character scarf, a nine-raised scarf, a fishtail gold crown, a bixia crown, or a double-braided bun, all dressed in different styles, except for Yunxiao, who looked like a woman.
"I am Feng Yang from the Taiqing Sect, and I have come here to break the formation. Who are you, fellow Daoist? You are so arrogant, why hasn't Yun Xiao come out? Could it be that you are afraid of the power of the righteous path in the Central Plains, and are hiding in the formation and dare not come out?"
One of them came riding a deer. He was the one who had just spoken. Now he laughed and said, "I am Qin Wan, an overseas Qi cultivator. We set up the formation and you break it. But the Nine Bends Yellow River formation is too powerful. Asking you, the younger generation, to break it is a bit like bullying the weak. This is not what a real man should do. There are a few of us, called the Ten Heavenly Lords. Today we will set up the Ten Absolute Formations. Let you see how powerful we are. Break the Ten Absolute Formations and then die in the Nine Bends Yellow River!"
He said it calmly, but it was clear that he didn't take everyone seriously. Before Feng Yang could say anything, someone behind him shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you really think we are afraid of you? I call you a Taoist friend in a nice way, but I don't give you face anymore. Looking at your attire, you are neither a monk nor a Taoist. It's not an exaggeration to call you an overseas side sect!"
"If you are smart, move the formation. Otherwise, you will be doomed and turned into ashes!"
Qin Wan laughed and said, "You are too biased in your views on the righteous path of the Middle-earth. Whether in the Middle-earth or overseas, we are all practicing Taoism, but you want to divide people into different levels. You should be punished!"
After he finished speaking, he pointed with his hand, and another ray of lightning came down. The thunder resounded through the sky and earth and hit the talkative man on the head. The man became drowsy and didn't know where he was. He had already fallen to the ground with only a weak breath left.
"This is a small punishment for a big warning. If you want to break the formation, please ask for a wise immortal guest. Otherwise, this Middle-earth land will definitely rise and fall if someone else comes!"
Qin Wan didn't even look at the man after he finished speaking. He chatted with the immortals who were accompanying him. They threw out their command flags and formed ten large formations. Inside the ten formations, black air filled the sky, yin and yang combined, sad winds blew, cold mists floated, and there were endless ghosts crying and gods howling.
The righteous people saw that the first group picked up a card with "Heavenly Array" inscribed on it, the second one had "Earthly Array" inscribed on it, the third one had "Wind Roaring Array" inscribed on it, the fourth one had "Ice Array" inscribed on it, the fifth one had "Golden Light Array" inscribed on it, the sixth one had "Blood Transformation Array" inscribed on it, the seventh one had "Flame Array" inscribed on it, the eighth one had "Soul-Falling Array" inscribed on it, the ninth one had "Red Water Array" inscribed on it, and the tenth one had "Red Sand Array" inscribed on it. With all ten formations together, how could they be described as dangerous?
"I have set up these ten formations to escort you to the calamity. Those who are greedy for life should not come forward, and those who want to die should leave quickly!"
Qin Wan, Qin Tianjun, shouted, and fell into the formation with other Tianjuns, taking charge of one side.
Feng Yang had just been deep in thought, and now seeing that the formation was set up, he first sent someone to help the collapsed man to the side to rest, and then said to the group of immortals.
"We have already made the decision. My Taiqing Sect will lead the charge. Judging from what Qin Wan said and the dangerous situation, his background may really be from the old Heavenly Court. I hope you fellow Taoists will not look down on him. I will be back soon."
"The formation of the Ten Absolute Formations is unusual, with a hint of ancient meaning. The way to break the formation is different from today. Fellow Daoist Feng Yang, please be careful. If something cannot be done, retreat as quickly as possible. It will not be too late to find another opportunity to break the formation."
The old man Guguai pointed the dragon head staff in his hand and said that he had some understanding of the formation and could see that the Ten Absolute Formations were quite mysterious, so he gave a reminder.
"I save it."
Feng Yang pointed with his hand, and two white lotuses appeared under his feet. As a defense, he stepped on the lotus with his hemp shoes and rose lightly in the air. He then drew out his sword, held it above his head, and went to attack the first formation, the Tian Jue Formation.
As soon as he entered the battle formation, dark clouds rolled in and gathered overhead, and thunder rumbled, shaking his soul. He saw Qin Wan holding up the command flag and waving it lightly, and thunder fell from the sky.
"I will use the Heavenly Absolute Formation to combine the energy of the three elements and gather the power of the heavenly thunder. Wherever the thunder roars, your immortal body will be shattered and you will be doomed to die!"
The movement of the flag attracted blinding white lightning. Feng Yang swung the spiritual sword above his head, emitting a huge sword light, and went forward to meet the lightning. The two collided, leaving only a chaotic aura.
"It's just a mysterious thunder, how can it be called the Heaven's Slaying? Senior, you are a bit boastful." Feng Yang straightened his clothes. "I don't know when you became a Taoist. What's your purpose in stopping the Taoist path here?"
Qin Wan glanced at him and said, "You are a Taoist who has some knowledge. However, we have not appeared in the human world for a long time. There is no record of us in the classics or history books. Where did you get this information from?"
really!
Feng Yang said secretly, and then he thought of a plan: "Senior, you don't know that there is a fellow Taoist who is a reincarnated person. He knows some old things and revealed your background."
Qin Wan laughed: "You said it so easily, it's obvious that you are using my formation to cover up your provocation. Is there any treasure that the immortal has that you covet, or is it his magical power that makes you jealous?"
Feng Yang didn't care after hearing this: "Senior, you are worrying too much. That Taoist has a fickle temperament and he often takes away people's luck. How dare I provoke him?"
"Do you really think I'm blind? Why do you think he knows everything about my past, even though others don't know about it? How do you know that the Taoist priest is not the same as me, but the reincarnation of the ancient heaven?"
Qin Wan shouted loudly, and his voice could be heard faintly outside the formation, which frightened Feng Yang. Before he could speak, Qin Wan waved the command flag and said, "There is no point in talking more, and the real test will be shown by your men. If you have some ability, you can break this formation. I will tell you all the secrets. Otherwise, you will die in the formation, and your life will end!"
Under his command, lightning balls and lightning snakes roamed in the dark clouds, and for a moment formed layer upon layer of thunder and sun, wrapping Feng Yang in the formation, crackling. He silently recited the sword formula, and the sword rose up without a name, cutting off countless lightning threads, and then turned into the size of a door panel and fell into Feng Yang's hand.
Feng Yang held the sword and wielded it with great force, countless rays of light burst out, and the lightning struck, splashing countless electric lights. Qin Wan did not care, he displayed his strength, and turned the three talents for his own use. No matter whether it was the lightning that was about to end or the rays of light from the sword, they were all gathered by the formation for its own use, increasing the strength of the formation and recycling it. For a moment, the lightning seemed endless.
A long defense will eventually be broken. A flash of lightning flashed across the sword and hit Feng Yang's body. The white lotus under his feet moved to block the divine lightning. A white light also lit up on his body, but he was pierced by the lightning layer by layer and shattered like an eggshell.
Seeing the critical moment, a golden pagoda appeared behind Feng Yang, suppressing the lightning for a moment. Taking advantage of this gap, a golden light swept Feng Yang out of the battle. Then the golden pagoda disappeared, and the lightning struck the open space, leaving a large pit with curling green smoke and flashing lightning.
