Chapter 175 Five Elements Calamity Transformation Formation: I caught you! Sister!

Bitao always felt that Xu Li's ability to select people to ascend to heaven and send one person back to heaven to obtain their position through five people was perhaps just a "smokescreen" for a public performance.

Those who are truly chosen for immortal positions simply pretend to fly in mid-air for a moment, and then are secretly sent back to the celestial realm by the person behind them through some channel.

After all, it seems that even the Yin-Yang Sundial of the Star River has malfunctioned, causing the sinful immortals to be thrown into this realm. Whether it was due to the negligence of the Azure Nether Emperor or someone colluding with the Star Gods of the Star Realm to deceive the heavens remains to be discussed.

Only this explanation can explain why, for so many years, these sinful immortals have been detained and screened, and why the celestial sundial has not given any warning during the rotation of the stars. Even the most impartial and impartial Heavenly Dao has never killed these immortals who ascended to immortality through formations.

No matter how powerful the person behind it is, they cannot tame the will of Heaven.

Once their deceitful scheme is exposed, and their sinister actions are revealed, Heaven's will should have already punished them.

However, it wasn't until she stood within the Five Elements Calamity Transformation Formation and felt its immense power of the five elements that Bitao became certain that this formation could truly send people to ascension.

Bitao lowered her head. The five immortals who formed the formation sat cross-legged with their eyes closed in the five directions of the Five Elements Spiritual Attributes. She had never seen any of them before.

However, no immortal being from this realm could possibly possess such a vast amount of the power of the five elements to supply the formation.

Xu Li must have connected other powers to the formation in addition to these five cultivators, such as the life force he plundered from the mortal realm using the formation!

However, since Bitao is currently in the formation, she cannot verify this matter.

She could see five-colored spiritual light, drawn out from the five people within the formation and entering her body.

They could also see the filth, sins, and karmic backlash within their own bodies, all transformed into tangible black matter, which was transmitted from the array to the five people respectively.

Because these five people, each with a different spiritual attribute, are supplying Bitao with the five elements in perfect harmony, and are also drawing away her sins and impurities, this formation is like a "pool" that cleanses the soul.

Everyone who enters it will be thoroughly cleansed.

Heaven is merciful. Sentencing sinful immortals to the mortal realm is meant to leave them a glimmer of hope. As long as they repent, atone for their sins, and regain a pure and clear mind, they will naturally be able to return to Heaven and be reinstated.

The Five Elements Calamity Transformation Array is the process of completely replacing the immortal position with "atonement for sins and enlightenment". It cleanses the immortal position until it is clear and pure, without any blemish or dust, without any karmic entanglements or sins. Then, ascension in broad daylight is a natural thing.

Bitao speculated that this was also why the Heavenly Dao consciousness had never imposed punishment.

Bitao looked at the dark red, sinful energy that had been pulled from her body, her expression one of utter astonishment.

Although she acts in an extreme way, she has always been measured and calculating.

She herself had no idea that she was so "sinful".

However, Bitao quickly figured out where these "misfortunes and sins" came from.

The heaven-sharing formations in the Immortal Realm and the Mortal Realm are constantly robbing mortals of their life force, while feeding back the immortals who shouldn't be in this world.

So whether it's active or passive, they are plundering the life force of mortals. Even if Bitao leads people to kill all the immortals in the entire Immortal Realm, it cannot offset the life force of mortals she takes away with every breath.

Their competition for immortality in the mortal realm was a contest of who could ascend to immortality within a hundred years.

The moment the celestial sphere rotated and the yin-yang sundial cast them into this world, they lost all possibility of ascension because they absorbed the life force of mortals.

Unless they agree to collude with the person behind them and enter the Five Elements Calamity Transformation Formation, they can peacefully return to heaven and attain their positions.

Truly...incredibly vicious

The peach blossom person had already risen into the air, but felt inexplicably panicked.

No wonder Xu Li sent someone to find her early in the morning to attend the ascension ceremony, but when he didn't see Mingguang, he didn't even ask her a single question.

At that time, Bitao thought that Xu Li knew that Dongjun had taken Mingguang away and there was nothing he could do for the time being.

It now seems that they are not in a hurry to hunt down the "Golden Crow" at all, because all the immortals who have fallen into this realm are birds with their wings cut off.

As long as one is alive, one is bound by karma; if one wants to fly, one must be given a pair of wings.

The golden crow with broken wings is just a free-range chicken; what's the point of chasing it? Just wait for it to come to you.

They were certain that Mingguang couldn't escape, which is why they ignored Bitao's "ridiculous" schemes.

Bitao was filled with rage and wished she could turn into ashes right now, scatter them on Xu Li's face, and then invade his consciousness through his five senses, turning this old bastard into a puppet!

But she still had to wait, wait for the formation to "malfunction on its own".

She was certain that the person behind her would not allow her to ascend to the position of Immortal, as that would be tantamount to creating a formidable enemy for themselves.

They will certainly choose to kill her in full view of everyone.

Bitao could only die naturally from "failing to ascend" if she was powerless to resist when the formation malfunctioned.

She had to play this final scene well, without appearing eager to die, lest it arouse suspicion from the bastards behind her.

Bitao closed her eyes, raised her hands, and felt the karmic sins within her body being cleansed, leaving her feeling light and ethereal.

She felt the pure immortal spirit drawn from the bodies of others, generously condensed into the formation, and given free use of it.

At the same time, a wisp of divine consciousness was separated and attached to the Five Elements Calamity Transformation Array, constantly spying on the next plan of that old bastard Xu Li.

Then, instead of waiting for Xu Li to make a move, Bitao was greeted by... Dongjun!

Dongjun suddenly appeared, stepping out from the crowd and directly attacking the Five Elements Calamity Transformation Array.

With a wave of his hand, he dismissed the immortals sent by Xu Li to obstruct him, and then looked at Bi Tao through the array.

He gave a wicked smile: "Bitao! You caused my brother so much suffering, and you think you can just die easily?!"

"You, get down!

As Dongjun spoke, the golden spirit transformed into an indestructible steel blade in his hand, slashing directly at the formation—

However, the Five Elements Calamity Transformation Formation was indestructible. Despite Dongjun's fierce sword strike, Bitao only felt a slight tremor in the formation, and it was not damaged in the slightest!

But even through the array, the panic in Bitao's eyes and the fear in her expression were no longer feigned.

Bitao was extremely anxious. Why would Dongjun be here at this time?!

What about Mingguang? How is Mingguang doing?

She entrusted Mingguang and Taiji to Dongjun so that he could protect them. How could Dongjun leave them without permission?

Dongjun is a good-for-nothing who's more trouble than he's worth!

At this moment, Bitao's subordinates also realized what was happening and rushed forward, managing to stop Dongjun in front of the ascension platform.

When Dongjun's earth-shattering second strike came down, Jichunjun's solid ice shield opened up and covered Bitao's formation with a "crackling" sound.

The solid ice collided with the golden spirit, shattering layer by layer. However, Ji Chunjun stood elegantly at the front of the formation, rapidly changing the way he formed hand seals. His spiritual energy continuously mended the broken parts of the solid ice shield, and he was able to fight against Shen Zhen Dongjun to a standstill!

Bitao was shocked. Was Jichun-jun really that powerful? Had she not been able to unleash even a fraction of her full strength during the time she had been with him?

Dongjun looked even more astonished.

He... didn't hold back! He was in a hurry to pull Bitao down and take her to apologize to his younger brother!

Although Dongjun knew that Jichunjun possessed the Ice Shield, he always regarded Jichunjun as a wild immortal, and in Dongjun's eyes, everyone who mingled with Bitao was a wild immortal.

Where did this random wild immortal come from? He actually managed to withstand his sword strikes!

Xu Li, who was standing on a high platform not far away, watching the spectacle from the sidelines, frowned as he looked at Ji Chunjun.

Unexpectedly, Ji Chunjun, whose immortal veins were extracted and whose memories were completely wiped clean, became so powerful after casually taking on an immortal vein in this world.

bad thing.

At least Dongjun showed some mercy to Bitao's subordinates, whom he had fought alongside, and did not directly blast them away or injure them.

Zhan Kui's martial arts skills were lacking, but his voice was excellent because he had borrowed the voice of the Xuanmen patriarch, Yu Junlang. He immediately started cursing at the suddenly appearing Dong Jun: "Did you eat mad dog meat?!"

"Let me tell you, if you cause Bitao to die, Mingguang will chop you into mincemeat and feed you to the dogs!"

“Mingguang? Mingguang was merely bewitched by that… vixen Bitao,” Dongjun said. “He has now fully awakened!”

The longsword in Dongjun's hand solidified once more, slashing towards Bitao—

If once isn't enough, try twice; if twice isn't enough, try three times.

Dongjun had already realized that Jichunjun was obviously putting on a brave face. The guardian celestial master Hanshang and a group of people quietly formed an array to continuously supply her with spiritual energy, which enabled her to maintain the solid ice shield.

The shield was already riddled with cracks and couldn't withstand even a few of his sword strikes.

But just as Dong Jun was about to make a move, Xu Li, who had been watching from the sidelines, spoke up.

“Fellow Daoist, even if you possess extraordinary abilities, this Five Elements Calamity Transformation Formation is set up according to the arrangement of the Heavenly Gang Stars, and it was created by people of the Five Elements Spiritual Affinity sacrificing their own immortal spirits. The formation forms its own small world, and it is impossible to break it from the outside.”

Xu Li actually wanted to say—how capable are you? You've only just grown up, and you already think you can break through the formation I personally activated in my star realm?

Dongjun ignored the "old dog's farts" and glanced at the Palace Master of Jiuxiao Palace out of the corner of his eye. He always followed the method of charging headlong and relying purely on brute force and the Golden Crow's talent.

Dongjun, sword in hand, slashed fiercely at the formation once more.

"Click—"

"Buzz—"

As expected, the ice shield cracked with just two sword strikes.

Ji Chunjun coughed up a mouthful of blood, her face expressionless as she knelt on the high platform, her beauty as lovely as peach blossoms and her demeanor as icy as ice.

She didn't forget to reach out and tidy up her long hair, which had been ruffled by Dongjun's fierce wind after the shield broke.

Ji Chunjun instinctively felt that she shouldn't have been defeated by Dongjun so easily.

She should have... She... Ji Chunjun closed his eyes, and something in his sea of ​​consciousness cracked open like a broken ice shield.

Ji Chunjun suddenly opened her eyes and caught a glimpse of that proud consciousness from the depths of her mind—she should have the ability to move stars and manipulate destiny!

Ji Chunjun was unable to withstand Dongjun's attack. The immortals behind her who were channeling spiritual energy into her, led by the guardian celestial master Han Shang, were also blasted away by the fierce golden spirit.

The immortal forces that had been watching the ascension ceremony around the perimeter could no longer tolerate Dongjun and the overly powerful Jinling, and retreated to the outer perimeter.

At this moment, Dongjun swung his long sword again, once again striking the Five Elements Calamity Transformation Formation.

Bitao looked at Dongjun as if she were looking at a big, stupid donkey.

Bitao hovered in the formation, her figure rising higher and higher with the sacrifice of the five banished immortals, eager for Dongjun to completely break the formation so that she could speed up her plan.

However, it seems that this Five Elements Calamity Transformation Formation is truly impossible to break from the outside.

Dongjun poured all his spiritual energy into a sword strike, but the force of the strike rebounding off the platform shook him off.

As for the immortals around them, some of them were caught in the crossfire and have already moved far away.

Some erected protective barriers, waiting for Xu Xingshen to take action and capture the person who disrupted the ascension ceremony.

Xu Li failed to win over Dong Jun.

After Dongjun stepped down, he walked to the Five Elements Calamity Transformation Array that he had personally arranged.

He cupped his hands in greeting to the immortals watching the competition below the stage, and then spoke. His voice was not loud, but it was just enough to carry throughout the entire venue.

"As you all have seen, once the Five Elements Calamity Transformation Array is activated, no matter how powerful the cultivation technique is, it cannot interrupt the person's journey to heaven and attainment of their position."

"I, Xu, have held the position of Palace Master of the Nine Heavens Palace for many years and have been honored by your kindness. However, due to my lax governance, the Eight Palace Elders have conspired to harm the people. I am truly ashamed before the common people and unworthy of my immortal position."

"Today I resign from my position as Palace Master of the Nine Heavens Palace, and I welcome your recommendation of a virtuous person to succeed me."

"Now I will explain the method of this Five Elements Calamity Transformation Formation to you all. Please take a look—"

As Xu Li spoke, he raised his hand and waved it toward the formation where Bi Tao was located. As Xu Li had said, the positions of the stars of the Heavenly Gang immediately appeared on the formation. Those stars flickered on and off, just like the star positions in the Milky Way in the nine heavens.

Dongjun flew over the high platform again, staring at the star positions.

Xu Li: "Each of these Heavenly Star positions requires a Celestial Pearl. You are all Nine Heavens Celestials, so remembering the location of this formation should not be difficult. Then, find people with the five elemental attributes to enter the formation. Five people can reduce the tribulation of one person, completely ignoring the karmic backlash, and ascend to your new position."

Xu Li's words fell like cold water into boiling oil.

The discussions below the platform instantly erupted!

Upon hearing this, Bitao, who was rising higher and higher in the formation, changed her expression drastically.

There are thirty-six Heavenly Stars, plus five of the Five Elements Spiritual Attributes. For every person who ascends to immortality, forty-one people's lives must be sacrificed!

No wonder the spiritual energy of the five elements within this formation is so vast and turbulent! Like a raging torrent!

Xu Li's announcement of the ascension method at this juncture is intended to incite all the immortals in the Immortal Realm to kill each other!

The chaos erupted in an instant; the immortals who were teammates one second were now stabbing each other in the waist and abdomen the next.

Prepare the beads for later use.

Even Dong Jun was stunned for a moment by Xu Li's words.

"Aaaaaah, help me! Help me! Here's the Immortal Pearl, please don't kill me! Ugh!"

"We can team up, we can continue to team up to hunt down other immortals, why..."

"Men, those who don't want to die, stick close to me! Let's fight our way out!"

...

The ascension platform was transformed into a slaughterhouse in the blink of an eye!

Dongjun reacted quickly, ceasing his attack on the Five Elements Calamity Transformation Array and instead chasing after Xu Li, the Palace Master of the Nine Heavens Palace, who had unleashed such a devastating "giant lightning bolt" and was attempting to escape.

"You old thief, stop right there!"

Dongjun suddenly unfurled his wings, flapped them, and charged toward Xu Li with his sword, intending to cleave him in two, the master of the Nine Heavens Palace who had uttered such inflammatory and world-shaking words.

Xu Li stood on a small spirit boat, his hands behind his back, looking just like when Bi Tao and the others first saw him, flying gracefully, but no matter how Dong Jun chased after him, he couldn't catch up!

This is weird!

Any random wild fairy could form a shield and block him.

He couldn't even catch up with some nobody, the so-called Palace Master of the Nine Heavens Palace!

Dongjun felt as if the entire star realm had begun to turn "demonic".

Even when he was in the real demon star realm, facing real demons, he never felt so helpless!

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

He chased after Xu Li's figure, frantically slashing and killing throughout the Nine Heavens Palace.

The heatwave and the resulting spiritual fire nearly reduced the entire palace to ashes, but he simply couldn't catch up with the Palace Master of the Nine Heavens Palace!

Meanwhile, a fierce battle began both on and off the ascension platform.

Bitao's subordinates were all guarding the ascension platform. Some of them had stolen the immortal pearls from the spirit boat and betrayed the group, while others had gathered enough spirit pearls and were searching everywhere for people with the five elemental attributes, attempting to activate the Five Elements Calamity Transformation Array to ascend.

Bitao had already risen to a height where she could no longer see the conflict below. Thunderclouds rolled in from the horizon, carrying fierce winds and lightning. She was about to ascend!

How is that possible?

Was all her calculations wrong?

Those people didn't care at all that her passing away and attaining the position of a Grand Immortal ruined their grand plan.

Just as lightning, like a long dragon, pierced through the thunderclouds and swooped down towards Bitao—

Below the formation, one of the five people who sacrificed their immortal spirits, the water-elemental immortal, suddenly opened his eyes!

His spiritual energy was completely drained, his life force was almost cut off, and he was covered in sins. If this were not a mortal realm, without the constant watchful eye of the Heavenly Dao, he would be a fallen immortal who would be struck by lightning if he walked down the street.

Tangible black and red evil spirits entwined around him, and he found himself in the midst of an array, sacrificing himself for the ascension of others!

He fell asleep last night—and then he knew nothing more. He was sent into this formation without even realizing it!

He was even one of Xu Li's close subordinates, and up to this point, he had no doubt that Xu Li had harmed him.

He looked up at the immortal throne that was about to ascend with hatred, then got up and broke through the formation, breaking out of the "prison" where he was forced to sacrifice!

Once activated, this Five Elements Calamity Transformation Formation cannot be broken outside the formation. However, if the person who makes the sacrifice inside the formation is unwilling, it is easier for them to leave the formation than to walk out of a door.

Xu Li stood on the spirit boat, hovering in front of the Nine Heavens Palace, which was being burned layer by layer by spirit fire.

He watched as the water spirit, whose awakening time he had calculated, stepped out of the formation and smiled.

He only told the group of banished immortals that they needed thirty-six immortal pearls and five people of the five elemental attributes to sacrifice their immortal spirits in order to return to heaven and attain their positions.

However, they were not told that these five people belonging to the Five Elements Spiritual Realm must all willingly sacrifice their own immortal spirits.

Xu Li can easily use the laws of heaven and earth to control the consciousness of anyone in this world, and naturally he can form the Five Elements Calamity Transformation Array, which allows people to sacrifice themselves willingly.

However, the immortals who exist in this world are scheming and despicable, harming and killing each other. Over the centuries, each of them has some unsolvable grudges.

Under these circumstances, would you really expect five people to risk their lives and willingly enter the fray?

That's simply impossible.

The moment the water-elemental immortal stepped out of the Five Elements Tribulation Transformation Array, Bitao, who had already reached the clouds and was about to ascend and attain her new status, suddenly plummeted from the sky like a shooting star—

As Bitao fell, she struggled desperately and screamed in terror.

"Aaaaaahh ...

The spiritual energy she had absorbed from the formation was abruptly cut off because the Five Elements Formation was missing one person, and her own spiritual energy was also drained in an instant.

really!

She said there must be something strange about this formation! She said these people wouldn't watch her pass away and attain her position.

That's right, a good female lead should act according to the script.

Bitao suppressed the urge to smile and dutifully performed her final act.

Bitao was no longer afraid that Xu Li would run away.

Her compassion for all living beings is omnipresent wherever there are sentient beings. As long as Xu Li is in this world, she will find him.

She didn't necessarily have to die at Xu Li's hands.

Bitao's scream brought Dongjun back to his senses, who was engrossed in attacking Xu Li.

Something's not right.

How could he have set so many fires?

He's here to stop Bitao from ascending to immortality, so what is he doing here?

Dongjun glanced at Bitao from afar and saw her falling from the clouds, concluding that she was probably unable to ascend.

Moreover, many of her subordinates were fighting for her on the high platform, so she probably wouldn't die easily.

So Dongjun took one last look at the "Palace Master of the Nine Heavens Palace" whom he could not catch, and his figure instantly transformed into golden lightning, rushing back in the direction he had come from—

Something's wrong with this astral plane!

That Palace Master of the Nine Heavens Palace is strange!

He needs to get back as soon as possible to protect his brother!

Just as Dongjun left, and Bitao was about to fall to her death within the formation, seemingly beyond her control—

Zhan Kui, who had been stunned by Dong Jun's powerful spiritual energy, has awakened and remained on stage.

She saw Bitao falling and heard her scream. She pushed away Guanghan, who was supporting her, and without thinking, she opened her arms, urged her weak spiritual energy, and rushed into the formation to catch Bitao.

The Five Elements Calamity Transformation Formation, which was originally impossible to break through from the outside, was actually easily breached by Zhan Kui.

Not only did she use her spiritual energy to support the peach in time, but she also happened to stand on the sacrificial position of the water spirit.

At that moment, Bitao's eyes widened even more than Zhan Kui's.

Zhan Kui, still with his arms outstretched, excitedly shouted to Bi Tao, "I caught you! Sister!"

Bitao, whose immortal spirit had been drained in an instant, felt the return of spiritual energy. The five elements lifted her up so quickly that she didn't even have time to say a word or exchange a glance with Zhan Kui!

Thunderclouds loomed overhead, lightning flashed wildly, and the sky above Bitao was shrouded in deep darkness.

Outside the formation, Guanghan tried to pull Zhankui out, but she couldn't get through the Five Elements Calamity Transformation Formation.

"Zhan Kui, Zhan Kui, come out!" Guang Han said. "If Bi Tao fails to ascend this time, we can still form an array again. Aren't we got plenty of immortal pearls?"

As Zhan Kui stood in the position of the water elemental, and Bi Tao flew into the sky again, she knew that she could not go out.

If she goes out now, Bitao will fall to her death.

She had never heard Bitao cry out in such despair.

Moreover, Zhan Kui thought to himself, isn't this just offering sacrifices to the immortals?

Anyway, her celestial spirit is terribly weak, no different from a mortal. What's wrong with giving it to Bitao? We can just have Taiji give her a new one later!

"I'm fine!" Zhan Kui shouted to Guang Han through the array.

Then, she resolutely sat cross-legged on the water elemental position, letting the karma and sins flow through her body, as she was about to send Bitao back to heaven!

In every competition, Bitao helped her, and this time she wanted to help Bitao too.

Xu Li, watching this scene from afar, looked up at Bi Tao, who had once again flown into the clouds, and frowned. It was indeed unexpected for Xu Li to have someone fill the position of Water Spirit.

However, he glanced contemptuously at Bitao's subordinates, who were surrounded by a group of banished immortals and unable to defend themselves on the high platform.

The strongest Ji Chunjun has already fainted. The banished immortals are now frantically digging for immortal pearls everywhere, looking at people as if they were beasts waiting to be slaughtered.

They can't hold out for much longer.

Besides, what's the point of adding a water spirit slot?

Xu Li turned the thumb ring on his thumb.

Then, the immortal of the Fire Spirit rank suddenly "awakened." Upon waking, he rushed directly out of the formation, causing the peach blossoms above the clouds to fall once more.

This time, Bitao didn't shout.

She stared at Xu Li through the array with a gloomy expression, wishing she could tear him to pieces from afar.

Once she gets his body, Bitao won't kill his self-awareness too quickly; she'll make him suffer terribly before he dies!

Seeing that she was about to fall to the ground, Zhan Kui was powerless to stop her this time. She tried to stand up from her water-elemental position, but this only made Bi Tao fall even faster, so she had no choice but to sit back down.

Zhan Kui had never hated his lack of cultivation so much in his entire life.

She should listen to Bitao and cultivate properly!

Just as Bitao was about to "offer her neck to die" again—

Holding her younger sister's hand, Binglun, who had already broken through the encirclement, turned around and saw Bitao falling rapidly from the heavens on the high platform.

His starry eyes suddenly widened, and he even forgot to breathe.

Binglun had been keeping an eye on Bitao's situation. When Bitao fell earlier, Binglun, Bingjing, and the others were entangled in a fierce battle by several crazed and bloodthirsty immortals. They were too far away from Bitao to help her in time.

After Zhan Kui was placed in the Water Spirit Position, he breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Seeing the fire spirit leave its position on the Five Elements Calamity Transformation Formation, he pushed the ice mirror towards Yun Chuan, who was fighting alongside him with great tacit understanding.

"Keep an eye on her! I'm going to replenish the fire spirit slot!"
