Chapter 589 – Master

Tiny lightning bolts were like tadpoles as they jumped about within the rising lightning barrier. They quickly filled the entire barrier like a massive lamp that flickered at the peak of the western mountain.

Then, Yang Junshan’s face suddenly changed, he instantly retreated backwards, and a thick streak of lightning accompanied with the sound of thunder in mid air, suddenly dropping down and entering the protection of the lightning. It was only at this moment that the people at the top of the mountain saw that, without knowing when, the Western Mountain had been covered with dense black clouds.

Another three consecutive strikes of lightning struck down. Although most of them did not enter the lightning barrier, the scattered lightning sparks that flew everywhere still startled Yang Junping and the others. However, to Yang Tiangang and Yang Junping, it was nothing much.

The lightning that condensed within the lightning barrier grew increasingly stronger, until it surpassed the limits of what the barrier could handle. Then, a golden lightning bolt shot down from the top of the western mountain like a centipede, heading several kilometers away from the western mountain.

After a streak of lightning, another bolt of cyan lightning struck down from the peak of the mountain. However, this time, it changed its direction and directly penetrated several kilometers to the east. Following that, another series of bolts of lightning of different colors enveloped an area of several miles around the entire Western Mountain, as if they were communicating with the entire range of the lightning treasure formation.

The muffled thunder in the sky fell onto the peak of the western mountain along with the lightning that came crashing down. The entire western mountain seemed to be trembling, and the ground within a radius of several miles also surged with muffled rumbling noises, as if there warimordial giant beast resonating with the heaven and earth.

The array formation that had been previously set up was completely activated, and a thin layer of the barrier, with countless arcs of lightning flashing around it, began to slowly rise from the ground with West Mountain as the center, and then slowly closed in on the sky above the West Mountain. In the end, the barrier that was covered witurple Thunder Crystal was completely one with the barrier, and like a giant glass bottle upside down on the ground, it enveloped West Mountain, Xishan Village, and the surrounding defenses completely.

Looking at the lightning that was moving above their heads, even though they knew that Yang Tiangang and his son were improving the village protection formation, the villagers of Xishan Village, and even the cultivators of the Yang family, could not help but suspect whether the lightning would suddenly strike them down.

At the foot of the mountain, the small poplar trees swayed despite the lack of wind. However, this time, the rustling sounds were no longer as cheerful as before. It sounded more like it was trembling due to fear.

Beneath the small tree, Yang Junqi stood under the small tree. She seemed to be comforting the small poplar tree with one hand and at the same time, raising her head to look through the gaps in the tree crown at the lightning that was moving about with the Western Mountain Summit as the center.

Originally, at the very last moment of the formation, Yang Tiangang wanted to ask Yang Junqi to participate as well, but in the end, he was rejected by Yang Junshan. He was given a task, which was to take care of Little Yang Tree.

Yang Junqi was initially confused, although the little poplar used to communicate with Yang Junshan and her, how many times in a cultivator’s life would they have to witness the formation of a Great Circle of Treasures? Yang Junqi even thought that Fourth Brother had done it to distance herself from her.

It was not that Fourth Brother wanted to distance himself from her, it was that Little Yang Tree was truly scared, to the point where she felt that there was something strange going on while she was comforting Little Yang Tree. The barrier of lightning that was moving above her head actually gave her a bad feeling, as if it could strike down at any time.

Yang Junqi thought back to what Fourth Brother had told her before. The spirits of nature were weak, and when they were born, they were least afraid of being born. Sometimes, when cultivators slapped their body a few times, they would lose their sanity.

In the past, it was not as if the Xishan Village had never experienced lightning rain, but at that time, there was the protection of the village protection formation.

Yang Junqi even pitifully touched the small tree’s trunk. Didn’t this child have to live in an environment filled with fear everyday?

and his sister, along with Su Baozhang, were equally shaken. Even though the three of them had already retreated oveundred meters away under Yang Junshan’s warning, the aura of thunder that descended from the skies had still forced the three of them to retreat another sixty meters. When they thought back to it now, the lightning light that scattered from the ball of lightning still made their hearts palpitate.

Not just them, even Yang Tiangang had no choice but to retreat and avoid the initial wreaking havoc of lightning. Only Yang Junshan, as the controller of the entire lightning array, was able to remain safe and sound amidst the raging lightning.

He had even thought about the difficulty of controlling the lightning, so he had instructed Su Baozhang and the others to retreat to a distance of more than a hundred meters away. However, he had never expected that the moment the great array opened, the purple crystal actually attracted the lightning from the sky, and looking at how much of the lightning essence the purple crystal contained poured into the lightning ball with the purple crystal as the core, it directly turned into the energy of the invisible lightning array being activated.

After the formation was completely activated, the dense lightning that was originally several miles above the Western Mountain gradually disappeared. However, it did not truly disappear, but instead formed into an invisible barrier. When the barrier was activated, the lightning in the formation would quickly gather at the area that was touched, allowing the invader to counterattack.

“Brother, the formation has been set up, right?”

The scene just now was simply too shocking, to the point that he even suspected that Yang Junshan had lost control of the array.

The power of the formation can almost be unleashed to the extreme. If there is no Adept Realm Cultivator guarding the next time they enter the village, they would need at least the cultivation of Heavenly Dipper Realm to break through the formation. “Yun Che said.

Following which, a bolt of lightning that was not much different from the previous slashes directly fell into the gigantic ball of lightning on the mountain peak. It was like a white ribbon connecting the Western Mountain and the sky, and following that, the dispersed thunder light scattered throughout the entire mountain peak. After hearing Yang Junshan’s words, they once again stepped into the range of one hundred meters, and all three Martial Realm Cultivator s immediately let out strange cries, their bodies trembling, as though they wanted to die.

“Bro, this is what you said the setup was a success?”

Yang Junxin screamed, that flash of lightning just now had caused her hair to shoot up into the sky.

Even Yang Tiangang said worriedly: “How did you get struck by lightning continuously?”

Yang Junshan was also shocked, but he could sense that the Thunder Light Array was functioning normally and did not have any negative effects. In fact, the moment the lightning was about to strike, he could sense thaortion of the thunder attributed spirit energy had been poured into the Thunder Ball. Besides maintaining the operation of the array, a portion of it had been absorbed by the purple spirit crystal core.

Could this be a backlash?

Even Yang Junshan was a little uncertain, after instructing the others to go down the mountain, he stayed back alone to observe the workings of the array.

After a while, another bolt of lightning descended from the sky, directly passing through the lightning barrier and entering the lightning ball on the mountain peak. After a while, another bolt of lightning descended from the sky, passing through the lightning barrier and entering into the lightning ball on the mountain peak.

Yang Junshan couldn’t help but stroke his chin. If that were the case, wouldn’t the village protection formation continue to circulate and he wouldn’t have to worry about the consumption of the purple Thunder Crystal?

Just as this thought flashed in his mind, another bolt of lightning accompanied by a loud noise came crashing down. Yang Junshan could not help but think, the thunder sound was too scary, it was too eye-catching to be struck by lightning everyday, but compared to the actual benefits, it was just that the thunder sound was too terrifying, but he had already gotten used to it after a while.

Just as Yang Junshan was thinking about the advantages and disadvantages of the sudden change in his array formation, he saw that Yang Junping, who had just left, had returned. However, at this time, another bolt of lightning struck down from midair, causing him to have no choice but to stop in his tracks.

Yang Junshan was surprised, and asked: “Who?”

Yang Junping said: “Heaven-Shaken Sect’s Master Refiner Ouyang Xulin!”

Hearing that, Yang Junshan’s spirit immediately shook, and he said: “He’s finally here!”

With that, Yang Junshan raised his head to look at the sky, he muttered to himself for a bit, and then walked down the mountain.

Yang Junping, seeing that, quickly followed and said: “Brother, you are not afraid of leaving?

Yang Junshan replied without turning his head, “Don’t you see that the dark clouds above are about to disperse? Without the gathering of the clouds, would there still be any lightning?”

Yang Junping turned around to look and discovered that the dark clouds had indeed dimmed down a lot. Faint rays of light were coming out from the clouds, and the lightning that followed after was much weaker than before.

Yang Junping could not help but think to himself: Luckily I was not struck by lightning every single day, otherwise the loud sounds that followed would have deafened everyone’s ears.

The Heaven-Shaken Sect’s Master Refiner, Ouyang Xulin, was naturally not a nameless person, the Yang family wouldn’t be like Wang Yuan who blocked people outside the village, waiting for his own master to recognize them, not to mention the fact that the Xishan Village’s big array was just formed, who below the Heavenly Dipper Realm cultivators, would dare to be impudent?

Under Su Baozhang’s guidance, Ouyang Xulin walked towards the village with a complex expression on his face as he watched the lightning strike the western mountain from the sky and the formed village protection formation.

This wareasure grade array!

Ordinary cultivators might not be able to detect the invisible village protection formation, but as a Adept Realm Cultivator, not only was Ouyang Xulin able to clearly sense the existence of the great treasure array, he could also feel the terrifying power concealed within!

It was no wonder that the sect was now even more vigilant of the rise of the Madame Yang s. Even when she was invited by Yang Junshan to assist in the refining process, it caused quite a bit of debate within the sect, to the point that they were still unable to reach an agreement with each other even after so long.

“Brother Ouyang!”

Yang Junshan walked over quickly with a joyous expression and said loudly: “Why are you late?”
