Chapter 430: 404: Appearance of the Heavenly Spirit
As for what danger lied in the Sky-spirit State, Lu Xuejing didn’t know.
All she could sense was a subtle hint of abnormality from the indifferent demeanor her mother, Lu Qixian, showed when talking about Sky-spirit State affairs.
In the past, whenever Chief Lu showed such an expression, it usually meant a bloodbath would ensue.
“Could it be, the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals wants to kill the donkey after it has left the millstone so soon?”
Li Fan was somewhat confused.
If that was the case, it seemed a bit too hasty.
Couldn’t they at least pretend to put up a show and reward everyone after the Spirit-locking Formation was completed?
Or was there something else hidden beneath?
“No matter what, I mustn’t go to the Sky-spirit State.”
“Considering the power displayed in the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven that day, the power of the Spirit-locking Formation is probably superior even to the Unity-Path.”
“When the situation is unclear, it’s wise not to risk oneself.”
“Moreover, to figure out what exactly will happen in Sky-spirit State, I don’t need to be personally involved.”
A barely noticeable gleam flashed in Li Fan’s eyes as he began his stakeout at the Dharma Dissemination Square.
This was the must-pass transit point to reach the Sky-spirit State.
Array Masters who got the invitation would have to pass through here.
Sure enough, not long after, Li Fan saw a suitable target from afar.
Yue Wan, a Golden Core Array Master, one of the participants in the Spirit-locking Formation competition.
Unaware of Li Fan hiding in the shadows, she was in a hurry to activate the teleportation array and set off for her destination.
Before she departed, the Formless Killing Machine had subtly locked onto her.
Maintaining the maximum distance that could sustain the Formless Killing Machine, Li Fan secretly followed her.
After a half day journey, Yue Wan arrived in the Sky-spirit State.
Far away, she saw a giant Dustcrosser Boat suspended in the sky.
Cultivators kept flying from all directions towards it.
Her face full of excitement, Yue Wan flew up and arrived at the Dustcrosser Boat in no time.
With her Black Gold Invitation in hand, a stream of light swept over her.
Yue Wan managed to pass through the protective light barrier and landed on the Dustcrosser Boat.
“Greetings, Daoist Yue!”
Just as she landed, someone she recognized greeted her.
Yue Wan greeted them back.
The boat was already filled with many cultivators.
All familiar faces.
In addition to those who participated in the Array Technique competition, those who had made significant contributions to the spread of the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array, including many frontlines builders and assistants, were now gathered on this Dustcrosser Boat.
They were all enjoying each other’s company and the atmosphere was lively.
“Now that the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array is complete, facing the furious attack from the Five Elders Organization, it will show its might for the first time. It’s our honor that Chief Lu has invited us to witness this.”
“Yes, it’s about time we see the powerful Spirit-locking Formation after all these years of struggle.”
“I wonder, will the Five Elders Organization back out in fear and not come after all? Our preparation would be for naught.”
“Hehe, rest assured. Knowing the Five Elders Organization, they must think we’re bluffing like in the past. Little do they know…”
“Think before you speak! Watch your tongue!”
Amid the cheerful atmosphere, everyone was waiting for the arrival of the monks from the Five Elders Organization.
It wasn’t until ten days later that their target finally arrived.
Without any warning, a beam of white light descended from the Sky Dome.
It shone on a certain spot not far from the border of Sky-spirit State.
It locked onto a hidden cultivator who was moving swiftly.
“So this is your Tianxuan Spirit Locking Array of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals? I don’t think it’s that impressive.”
“It just manifested itself, what could you possibly do to me?”
Surprisingly, instead of panicking, that person stopped in his tracks and began to mock the Dustcrosser Boat in the sky.
For a moment, everyone on the Dustcrosser Boat was seething with indignation.
“How dare such a lowly God Transforming cultivator act so rudely?”
“This person daring to lead the attack might not be as simple as he appears.”
“Why hasn’t there been any response from the alliance yet, what are they waiting for?”
Seeing that the Immortal Alliance did not respond in the face of provocation, the Monk from the Five Elders Organization couldn’t help but snort coldly.
Under everyone’s watchful gaze, an apricot-yellow flag was thrown upward.
Chanting under their breath, and in an instant, 108 different and strange beasts flew out of the flag.
The bodies of the beasts seemed to be made of blue starlight, and their ferocious faces revealed a hint of the divine.
“That is…”
“[Minor Celestial Dipper Star-Shifting Array]?”
All the people on the Dustcrosser Boat were skillful in the Array Technique and recognized the method used by the monk of the Five Elders Organization instantly.
Excited exclamations came from everywhere.
The 108 beasts, all made from the star ensemble, were arranged in the circular array.
A dazzling starlight was ejected from their mouths towards the center.
Where the 108 beams of light met, a door to outer space slowly opened.
Thousands of monks poured out from the star door in an instant.
All of them were wearing the style of battle robes of the Five Elders Organization.
The beams of light that fell one after another from above their heads confirmed their identities.
“How did they let them open the teleportation door?”
“What’s happening, what are our people doing exactly?”
“Everyone, keep calm, this must surely be a plan to lure the enemy in.”
In response to the Five Elders’ aggression, the delay by the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals made people onboard the Dustcrosser Boat boiling with anxiety.
But the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals didn’t disappoint them.
Soon, the Spirit-locking Formation above the Sky Dome began to move.
In the rays of light that locked onto the monks of the Five Elders Organization, sudden streaks of golden light appeared.
The golden light was thin, it followed the beam of light, and fell swiftly from the sky.
Like sharp flying swords, they aimed to decapitate the monks of the Five Elders in public.
However, the people of the Five Elders Organization didn’t panic at all.
Just when the golden light was about to fall on their heads.
They were all abruptly stopped mid-air.
The golden light intensity surged, making a sound of disconsolation, trying to break free from its restraint.
But on the battlefield, as if an invisible giant hand was pressing them down, they couldn’t move.
The golden light could not budge.
“This…”
Silence fell on the Dustcrosser Boat.
The young Array Masters stared at the attack of the Spirit-locking Formation being easily blocked, all displaying an incredulous expression.
Even more monks, as if realizing something, suddenly turned pale.
Their eyes filled with panic, they looked around in confusion.
They looked as if they wanted to flee from the scene then and there.
Just then, a deep voice rang out across the battlefield.
“[Unified Heart Celestial Master], please step back.”
“According to the agreement, you shouldn’t be here.”
Saying this, the figure of Ji Hongdao slowly appeared.
He stood before the monks of the Five Elders Organization.
“Oh?”
A bell-like laughter echoed between Heaven and Earth.
“Is there anywhere in this world that I cannot go?”
Just a voice, no person seen.
All the cultivators of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals present showed terrified expressions.
“Immortal…”
“Sovereign?”
The expressions of thousands of monks from the Five Elders Organization remained unchanged, as if they knew that the Immortal Sovereign would intervene.
They all shared the same expression.
Indifferently staring ahead.
From a distance of several provinces, Li Fan was using the Heavenly-Earthly View to watch the scene. He was greatly taken aback.
“This voice is…”
“Sister Zhao?”
