Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 1229 – Highlights

That Daoist Sima spoke arrogantly and Young Master Xu wanted to retort, but he seemed to have something to fear, so he angrily waved his sleeves, preparing to leave.

Meng Weiting, who was at the side, saw the situation, and immediately stood up to urge him to stay, and said: Young Noble Xu, please wait!

Young Master Xu snorted, he turned his body and leaned towards Meng Weiting, listening to his words.

Meng Weiting said: “This time, we have been waiting here for a long time, although we have prepared for this, and have received more information from the Circulatory World, but you two should not know yet, the Circulatory World Immortal palace has already sent twelve Dao cultivators here, attempting to destroy this lightning well passage. And because of the Purple Clouds Sect previously, there are also Grandmaster level formation masters among them, so, we need to be careful when facing enemies!”

With that, Meng Weiting turned to Sir Xu and said: “Brother Xu, please take a seat, please sit!”

Young Master Xu could not refuse Meng Weiting’s request, and silently walked to the side and sat down.

Meng Weiting then continued: The Violet Firmament Pavilion is here secretly supporting the Three Purities Sect, we guessed that the Violet Firmament Pavilion must havlan, but it was only because the Three Purities Sect’s upper echelons were all dead, did we really want the people of the Three Purities Sect to sneak in and investigate, and just as expected, after a thousand years of Violet Firmament Pavilion’s support, there are truly death warriors within the sect, although we did not figure out the Violet Firmament Pavilion’s true purpose, but at the very least, it proved our suspicions, but just in case, we still need Young Master Xu’s people to continue hiding amongst the disciples of the Three Purities Sect.

Seeing that Young Master Xu’s expression was slightly better, Meng Weiting turned to Daoist Sima and said: “Brother Sima, I presume you don’t know yet, but this time, there are many Grandmasters of formations amongst the people sent by the Circulatory World palace.”

When that Daoist Sima heard this, he sneered, “Rumor has it that every great thousand worlds have their own unique places. I want to see the abilities of these Circulatory World Formation Grandmasters. I can’t even wait.”

Seeing that Meng Weiting had resolved the unease within the Sanqing Hall, the other cultivators became lively for a moment. The Dou Demon King from the Demonic Commander Residence laughed and said, “Dao Friend Sima, please do not be careless. From what I know, out of the twelve Heavenly Axis Realm cultivators that have come, there is one great Grandmaster who is proficient in Circulatory World — —”

“Grandmaster?”

“So many people in this world think that they can call themselves’ Grandmasters’ after completing the final step of a formation system. Truly, it would be an insult to the word ‘Grandmasters’. In my opinion, if you want to be honored as a ‘Grandmaster’, then you should honestly set up a complete formation system. You don’t need the title of ‘Grandmaster’.”

“Urgh …”

Dou Yao Wang smiled in embarrassment. He thought to himself, if we were to split things like this, about seventy to eighty percent of the ‘Grandmasters’ in the entire Starry Sky world would be defeated. Amongst the hundred arts of cultivation, the number of Grandmasters in the Array Dao that are already renowned for their rarity would be even fewer.

“I’m afraid that Fellow Sima is fighting with more than just one Grandmaster!”

A loud and clear voice came from outside the Sanqing Hall. Following a burst of lightning, a tall and sturdy Witch Cultivator appeared in the middle of the hall and strode towards a seat at the side.

“Strong Kui Senior Magus, did the Violet Firmament Pavilion retreat?” He was asking about the other Senior Magus, Wu Guang.

Grabbing onto a giant cup, he gulped down the strong alcohol and gave a long hiccup. Sparks of electricity gushed out three feet into the air along with the smell of the alcohol as he sighed, “Comfortable, this time, it feels really good. The Thunder Ability of the Circulatory World is indeed extraordinary, the five people of the Violet Firmament Pavilion are very sharp, and they left after a short while. However, I was too late, and did not have the ability to stop them.”

“What, are the cultivators of Violet Firmament Pavilion very strong?” Meng Weiting was shocked.

The powerful Kui Witch thought for a moment, then said, “It’s not that it’s very strong, the strongest one among them is merely at the same level as me. It’s just that their methods are very powerful, and the power of their Thunder Ability is beyond ordinary.”

Meng Weiting thought for a while, then said: “It should be the ‘Five-Thunder Orthodoxy’, a type of extremely powerful lightning attribute Dao Techniques and Divine Powers passed down from the Circulatory World, just that this art is extremely difficult to learn, and the process of training it is accompanied by great danger, thus the technique is split into five parts, and each of the five cultivators will have their own lineages of inheritances. Once the five of them join hands, not only will they be able to recreate the power of this art, but they will also have the power of five people, multiplying the power of this art.

The Strong Kui Great Witch laughed and said, “I didn’t expect Mister Meng to be so knowledgeable about Circulatory World. It seems that the Confucian bloodline has spent quite a bit of time and effort there.”

Meng Weiting smiled slightly and said: “Same here, same here, but the Great Witch just said that there are more than one Grandmaster of the Circulatory World who have come this time, what’s going on?”

“It has been confirmed. There should be four formation masters amongst the twelve people, and there should be one among the five people from Violet Firmament Pavilion. Although these five appear reckless when trying to force their way through, they all have their own ways when retreating. The majority of the restrictions that Fellow Daoist Sima has set have been dodged by them.”

Although he was proud, he was not arrogant at all. Among the four formation masters that came from the Circulatory World, one of them could already be considered a grand master, and this could be said to be a challenge that he had never accepted before. Not only did he not feel any guilt, he also felt a faint excitement, and this emotion was growing stronger and stronger, to the point that he could not maintain it for a moment.

When Meng Weiting saw that Daoist Sima suddenly went silent, he thought that the four formation masters had caused the great master, who thought very highly of himself, to feel the pressure in the end. Thus, he said tactfully, “Dao Friend Sima, do not worry, we did not come here for the thunder lagoon, you must know that the cultivators from the Circulatory World were in fact caught in our trap from the very beginning. Furthermore, we have gathered so many dao friends here, so even if we were to fight one battle, we might not necessarily lose, not to mention with the help of you, fellow Daoist Sima.”

Furthermore, according to what I know, those twelve Dao cultivators with Circulatory World might not be able to form a single line. From what I’ve gathered, those people must have sensed us spying on them, or they might have started an internal strife and split up not long after they entered the Jadestar Realm. As long as the four formation masters are unable to work together, you don’t have to worry about them, fellow Daoist Sima. “”

However, the laughter only grew louder and louder. When the cultivators of the Sanqing Hall looked at each other, Sima Xian suddenly stopped laughing, his eyes shining brightly. He started to radiate a strong will to fight, and said, “Awesome, four fellow Dao Masters, if you all could defeat the Four Great Grandmasters of the Circulatory World, then I would definitely challenge the legendary Heluo Star Palace.”

Meng Weiting and the Kui Senior Magus looked at each other speechlessly, and then finally understood the extent of this Sima Guang Hall’s arrogance. Their previous words had been a complete waste of their feelings, even the four Grandmasters of the Dao of Arrays might not necessarily be worthy of their respect.

Meng Weiting’s lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he chose to remain silent.

Yang Junshan had secretly infiltrated the Ziyun Peak for a few days, his movements within the array could be said to be extremely difficult, without question, the Accomplishment of Array Pathat laid the array on the Ziyun Peak were much more profound than he had imagined.

In order to restrain his movements as much as possible without being detected by the people controlling the formation, a large portion of Yang Junshan’s energy in the past few days was used to search for flaws in the formation, and he only explored a small part of the surrounding area.

As Yang Junshan’s Accomplishment of Array Path levelled up, he had a deep understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of an array. It does not always depend on how profound your array is, but rather how precise your control of the details is during the process of creating the array.

The higher the rank of the array, the more minute errors and mistakes were inevitable during the construction process due to the enormous Formation System. And at this time, the more skilled array masters were the ones who made the least mistakes.

Right now, Yang Junshan was undoubtedly facing an array master who was still exceptionally cautious towards the smallest details. To Yang Junshan, this was an unprecedented challenge.

However, no matter how difficult it was for Yang Junshan to take a step forward, he could not deny that under the circumstances where Sima Xian did not notice, he had already silently snuck into the Ziyun Peak for a few days.

Three months had already passed, and other than Violet Firmament Pavilion, the rest of the people had also arrived. However, the one hundred days period of converging attacks agreed upon by Tong Xu Daoist and the others had not arrived, but the scattered attacks had already started outside of Ziyun Peak.

As the one hundred days period approached, these attacks not only became more frequent, they even became more powerful.

Although Yang Junshan was unable to move freely while he was hiding in the Ziyun Peak, with the help of the Ziyun Peak’s perception, he was still able to gain some understanding of the situation outside the array. According to his calculations, the other people had already broken through the two layers of early warning settings from different directions several times in the past few days, and came into contact with the Ziyun Peak’s array itself.

As an array master, Yang Junshan naturally understood the reason for their actions. It should be so that they could come into contact with the array and find a way to use it.

But without the knowledge of the two sides, Yang Junshan had seized this chance, and taking the chance that the array master in the Ziyun Peak was distracted by the attacks of the other cultivators, he extended the range of his movement further, allowing him to see the Formation System from the inside.
