This place was less than ten miles away from Kushan, but the crowd did not move forward.
Within the densely packed Kushan Mountains, steep peaks rise like bamboo shoots, rising from the ground. Of all these mountains, the most prominent is undoubtedly Kushan, located in the northeastern corner. A steep peak rises straight into the sky, its summit invisible. From where Luo Jianqing currently stands, Kushan's silhouette can be seen from afar.
It is like a black shadow, covered by light yellow sand and clouds, appearing and disappearing.
The Feihua Sect elder had never imagined that a careless touch would cause the body of Fairy Fengsi, who had been dormant for a year, to vanish into thin air. When she discovered what she had done, she wept bitterly, completely lacking the composure of a high-ranking cultivator.
Yet, her reaction made sense.
Fairy Liuyu, the head of the Feihua Sect, said, "Huanqing has always been close to Senior Uncle Fengsi. Her master passed away long ago, and she has lived with Senior Uncle Fengsi for six hundred years, practically single-handedly raising him. Senior Uncle Fengsi passed on many of his insights into formations to Huanqing. Huanqing's cultivation is only at the late stage of fusion, but her attainments in formations are extremely high. This time, she has come to contribute to the establishment of the Withered Mountain Formation."
Xuan Lingzi nodded slightly, while Luo Jianqing turned his head and quietly looked at the female cultivator who was crying non-stop.
Even within the Feihua Sect, a cultivator in the late stage of fusion would be considered one of the elders, a well-known figure. However, after seeing that her mentoring uncle had lost even his body due to her own mistakes, the female cultivator's loss of composure was completely understandable, and it also made Luo Jianqing feel a little sad.
It is said that in the path of cultivation, the Tao is ruthless, but cultivators are not really ruthless.
If one is truly heartless and ungrateful, then what he is practicing is not the way of a human being, but the way of an animal worse than pigs and dogs.
Gazing at the still shimmering formation beneath his feet, Luo Jianqing sighed softly. Along with many of the Feihua Sect's elders and disciples, he bowed toward the spot where Fairy Fengsi had vanished. He had only met this fairy once, but he knew she was a bright and open-minded person, and mourning for her was only natural.
However, grief couldn't last long, and soon, the sobbing Fairy Huanqing slowly stopped. Tears continued to flow uncontrollably, but she began to carefully examine the formation, finally looking at Xuan Lingzi.
"Fellow Taoist Xuan Lingzi..."
As soon as she spoke, her voice, still tinged with tears, silenced Fairy Huanqing. She paused for a moment, then spoke again, her voice hoarse but no longer tinged with tears. "Fellow Daoist Xuan Lingzi, this formation is my uncle's unrivaled Phoenix Feather Acacia Formation, a top-tier, Heavenly Rank formation. He used his body as the core, so he must have set it up in a very short time, so it's not entirely perfect. From what I've observed, there's a collapsed hill three miles west of where we are. I believe my uncle set up the Phoenix Feather Acacia Formation in a desperate attempt to prevent the spread of the impact of the collapse."
Xuan Lingzi naturally noticed this as well. He nodded and said, "This is indeed the Phoenix Feather Acacia Formation."
Fairy Huanqing said, "Since Master-Uncle has already set up this formation, we can save some effort and use her prototype to perfect it. Now that Master-Uncle's..." She paused for a moment before continuing, "Master-Uncle's body has disappeared, and the center of the formation has been destroyed. I think it will only take three hours for the Phoenix Feather Acacia Formation to disintegrate. Therefore, we must quickly perfect the formation and have it cover the entire Dry Mountain."
Xuan Lingzi readily agreed.
Next, it’s time to set up the formation.
Luo Jianqing wasn't skilled in formations, so Xuan Lingzi kept him by his side, letting him walk to the nearest node. Meanwhile, cultivators from the Feihua Sect, other sects, and many independent cultivators flew to their respective nodes and prepared to set up the formation.
Luo Jianqing stood three feet, three feet, and three inches in front of Xuan Lingzi and looked up at him.
In the vast and boundless Kushan Mountains, the white-robed venerable man looked solemn, put his two fingers together, and pointed seemingly casually. Then golden sword lights suddenly crossed the sky and went away into the distance.
Xuan Lingzi tapped a total of 107 times. When he reached the 108th time, he turned and looked at Luo Jianqing.
Looking at the young man not far away, Xuan Lingzi's cold expression softened slightly. He moved gently. Suddenly, Luo Jianqing felt a stream of cool spiritual energy pouring into his Baihui acupoint, quickly flowing through his body. This power was gentle and long-lasting, like a pool of warm water, warming his heart and spleen. Luo Jianqing closed his eyes in comfort, unable to help but enjoy it.
Fairy Huanqing stood beside Xuan Lingzi and said respectfully, "Fellow Daoist Xuan Lingzi, please enter the center of the formation."
Xuan Lingzi walked over to where Fairy Feng Si had been. He just stood there, and Luo Jianqing was shocked and opened his eyes in surprise. He saw Xuan Lingzi standing in front of Luo Jianqing, the two of them were only half a step apart, but Luo Jianqing was surprised to find that he seemed to be controlled by the other party!
Not only that, Luo Jianqing suddenly felt the presence of another 107 cultivators!
They were like chess pieces, meticulously positioned at specific points; even the slightest deviation was crucial. Everyone stood in their precise positions, setting up the Heavenly Gang Disha Formation. This served as a decoy formation, drawing upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the power of the withered mountain, activating the Phoenix Feather Acacia Formation and, in turn, suppressing the withered mountain.
Just when Luo Jianqing was curious and confused, he heard Xuan Lingzi say softly: "Jianqing, you are Tiankui."
Luo Jianqing raised his head: "Tian Kuixing?"
