Soon after contacting Shushan, a reply came from the other side.

To the surprise of the Kunlun elders, Shushan rejected the proposal to cooperate with Kunlun to attack Shura Road, on the grounds that it had important matters to deal with within the sect.

This is not a common thing. You know, in the past, if there was anything related to fighting, Shushan would never refuse anyone, and even feared being left behind.

What are the top priorities within the faction?

Since Shushan was vague about the details, Qiu Changtian didn't know the specific situation. Although he wanted to read the game of Lingyunpo to find out the situation, considering that he was playing against another small account, Wei Dongliu, he had to give up.

Then the day of Kunlun's expedition arrived, and a group of high-level cultivators gathered in front of Yuxu Palace, where they were given a speech by Master Ziwei.

It was still a long and boring speech from the leader that almost made him explode. Qiu Changtian kept a stern face throughout the whole speech, trying hard not to let his mind wander, and also to set a good example for other Kunlun monks.

After finishing the lecture, Master Ziwei waved his whisk and set off immediately.

Suddenly, thousands of rays of light appeared above the Kunlun Pillar, illuminating the sky brightly and clearly.

Countless sword lights streaked across the Kunlun Mountains, like a brilliant meteor shower, rushing towards Tiecheng Mountain at the end of the plateau!

The sword of Master Ziwei rushed to the front, and the Taiyi Fenguang Sword followed closely behind to prevent anyone from suddenly attacking and intercepting the large force.

Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian followed closely behind on their swords. Several Kunlun elders guarded them from all sides, protecting them tightly. It was likely that only the immortals from the Demon Cult could break through such a terrifying guard lineup.

As for the Immortal Chisong, there is no need to say much. This sect's immortal has his own magical powers and can travel back and forth between Kunlun and Tiecheng Mountain in a flash, so there is no need for him to follow the main force.

The Shura sect must have gotten wind of the news long ago. There wasn't a single foreign monk within a hundred miles of Tiecheng Mountain, so Kunlun's idea of ​​killing a few demon monks as a sacrifice fell through.

When the Kunlun army arrived at the foot of Tiecheng Mountain, they first set up a formation on the spot.

The formation is the equivalent of a cultivation version of war equipment. The larger the scale of the war, the greater the importance of the formation.

If we don't set up a formation, Shura Dao will find a super powerful secret method to cause large-scale damage and attack Kunlun's main formation directly. The high-level cultivators may be able to protect themselves, but a large number of low-level cultivators will die, and there is no need to continue the battle.

As the commander-in-chief, Qiu Changtian went over to inspect the deployment of the formation in person.

The one in charge of setting up the formation was Elder Jinpo. This Yuanying elder had a special liking for formations. It was said that when he first entered the Tao, he originally wanted to go to Penglai, but somehow he came to Kunlun.

Qiu Changtian looked over and found that the formation was just average. All the runes such as no-fly, weakening and warning used the most standard structure - in the words of a programmer, this guy just copied and pasted the code, so there shouldn't be any problem.

"Master Chang Geng!" Elder Jinpo came over to greet him enthusiastically, "I didn't expect you also know formations?"

"I don't understand, I don't understand." Qiu Changtian didn't dare to admit it, and shook his head quickly, "I just came to see how the progress is."

“Really?” Elder Jinpo was obviously a little disappointed, but soon he patted his chest and said confidently, “There must be no problem with the formation. I have arranged it like this for nearly a thousand years, and there will definitely be no mistakes!”

There has been no updated version for nearly a thousand years? There won't be any mistakes, but I'm afraid the evil cult will find loopholes!

Qiu Changtian was silent for a moment, thinking that this would definitely not work.

In military matters, one must be cautious. If there are any loopholes in the formation and they are discovered by the people from the Demon Sect, can Wei Dongliu still stop them from targeting him?

After thinking for a moment, Qiu Changtian smiled sincerely and said:

“Although I don’t understand, I hope to learn from my seniors.”

Elder Jinpo's eyes lit up and he said quickly:

"No problem! Chang Geng, if you have anything you want to learn, I will definitely tell you everything I know!"

"Then let's start with this formation." Qiu Changtian said modestly.

Elder Jinpo then diligently explained the formation to him.

After talking for a while, Qiu Changtian pretended not to understand and started asking questions.

After only asking two or three questions, Elder Jinpo couldn't answer them.

After all, he is an elder in Kunlun. Although he is quite interested in formations, he usually focuses on practicing breathing exercises. How can he be a match for Qiu Changtian in terms of attainments in formations? He suddenly became speechless.

Qiu Changtian gave Elder Jinpo some persuasion and suggestions, and Elder Jinpo began to ponder.

By the time he had completely figured out the key points and knew how to change the formation, he discovered that Qiu Changtian had already left in a low-key manner.

After finishing the formation defense, Qiu Changtian began to confirm the plan for deploying troops.

There are many steep cliffs around Tiecheng Mountain, many of which have been hollowed out into caves to hold Buddha statues.

A Kunlun monk conducted a careful investigation and discovered that many of these caves had secret passages behind them, but they didn't know where they led to.

To be on the safe side, Qiu Changtian ordered everyone to stay away from the cave to prevent the Shura Dao monks from appearing and launching a sneak attack. He also sent people to the gate of Shura Dao Sect to challenge them, fighting day and night to attract the attention of the Demon Sect.

After a few days, both sides suffered losses.

Although Kunlun had more victories than defeats, two Jindan Zhenren unfortunately died on the spot. One was hit on the top of his head by the Vajra Pestle, and his soul was scattered on the spot, while the other was sprayed with poisonous blood by the opponent. He managed to return to the main camp, but died before he could be rescued.

Qiu Changtian also had a headache. Although casualties on the battlefield were inevitable, considering that it was he who proposed the plan to advance into Tiecheng Mountain, the more Kunlun monks died here, the more they would be blamed on him.

Considering that most of the Kunlun monks are senior homebodies who usually only focus on breathing and refining qi, they are not as good at fighting as the Shushan swordsman. If we want to really reduce the casualty rate, we can only increase the strength threshold of the monks who go into battle.

The strength here refers to the comparison with the same level. For example, if Shura Dao sends out a cultivator of the Youwei level of the Jindan realm, Kunlun certainly cannot send out a Yuanying realm cultivator to fight him.

And whoever is stronger in fighting skills will be more likely to survive if they are both at the Jindan realm's Youwei stage.

Well, if we have to use a standard, the higher the grade of the golden elixir, the stronger the strength among the same grade...

Thinking of this, Qiu Changtian suddenly realized and laughed.

All in all, it is still necessary for me, Chang Geng, to take action in order to reduce Kunlun's casualty rate to zero.

I will go into battle myself!

Qiu Changtian quickly came to the headmaster Ziwei, explained the reason to his master, and finally volunteered to fight.

Master Ziwei pondered in silence.

If it were in the past, he would definitely not agree to let his beloved disciple go to the battlefield. After all, there was only one first-grade golden elixir in the world, and if he went to the battlefield, he might be plotted against by the demon sect in various ways.

But now that Kunlun Taiqing Sect and Shura Dao have already started a full-scale war, if Qiu Changtian continues to hide, it will inevitably make people in the sect feel that he is being protected, and even worse, some people will doubt his strength...

Forget it, since you want to be the successor to the headmaster, how can you not hone your skills more?

"If I remember correctly, you said last time that you have reached a bottleneck period, right?" Master Ziwei asked slowly.

"Yes, Master." Qiu Changtian nodded.

"Yes." Master Ziwei took out the Taiyi Light-Splitting Sword and handed it over, saying, "Take it and use it for self-defense."

"The monk Shura Dao is brave and good at fighting. It would be a good thing if you could break through the bottleneck in the life-and-death duel."

"But be careful not to be complacent or take it lightly... But with your personality, I am naturally relieved."

Qiu Changtian said yes repeatedly, took the Taiyi Fenguang Sword and left.

Master Ziwei watched his beloved disciple leave, feeling a little restless and could not help but continue to calculate his disciple's fate with the help of his fingers.
