Chapter 834: Entering the Formation! ...
"Hua Jinzhen, you are the head of Kunlun Immortal Palace. Kunlun Immortal Palace still needs you to take charge. Let's give this opportunity to some juniors." Bi Yuewu stared coldly at Hua Jinzhen. Even though it was just a true spirit descending, his immortal power could suppress Hua Jinzhen as easily as crushing a mosquito.
Hua Jinzhen can't go down and risk it. She's still useful, and she's Bixi Zhen's next victim. If she dies, it'll be hard to explain to that ruthless old man Bixi if we can't find a replacement.
But it doesn't matter to those who ascended to immortality except for Hua Jin.
Rather than letting them live and waste their spiritual energy, it's better to use them as stepping stones.
Of course, if they are lucky enough to survive in the raging earth energy, it would be considered a stroke of good fortune for them.
The fate of the immortals, whether a blessing or a death warrant, cannot be disobeyed, or it will lead to utter destruction.
Hua Jinzhen didn't want Zhang Yibai and the others to be in danger, especially Wang Shouyi.
Zhang Yibai and Gu Changsheng still have a chance of survival if they enter the formation.
However, if Wang Shouyi were to enter the enemy formation, he would undoubtedly die.
But Bi Yuewu sealed her mouth shut, and she was so anxious that she couldn't utter a single word.
Just then, footsteps sounded behind them.
Bi Yuewu and Tu Fuxing were the first to react, looking towards the direction of the approaching figure. They saw that the approaching figure was dressed in white, carrying a black-sheathed flying sword. His appearance was heroic, yet he did not reveal any aura. A look of surprise flashed in their eyes.
Look again.
The aura emanating from this person was unmistakable; they were an ascended immortal at the Feather Transformation Realm.
Although his actual strength is still below Hua Jin's, Bi Yuewu felt that this guy was not simple, and perhaps even Hua Jin might not be a match for him.
It wasn't until 뀘 got within 누 a hundred meters that he and Tu Fu Xing noticed it.
They are immortals!
Although it was just a true spirit descending to earth.
"Halt!" Tu Fuxing's eyes darkened, and an aura of immortality pressed down like Mount Tai.
boom--!
The ground suddenly sank, and a fierce wind howled.
But that doesn't seem to be greatly affected by the situation.
The land around him crumbled and rocks flew everywhere, yet he remained calm and undisturbed, only the hem of his plain white robe billowed slightly in the gale.
"Two immortal masters, and next is Chen Huai'an, an elder of Kunlun Immortal Palace."
Chen Huai'an stopped in front of the two immortal spirits and bowed.
"I just heard the immortals say that there is a great opportunity within that formation, but I feel that these younger ones are not yet capable of handling such an opportunity..."
Why not give the opportunity to the next person?
Otherwise, wouldn't all those opportunities be wasted?
Bi Yuewu and Tu Fuxing exchanged a glance.
They're not stupid.
He knew that the Kunlun Immortal Palace elder who called himself Chen Huai'an had volunteered to take the blame.
I never imagined that there would still be such a loyal and righteous ascendant in the Daoist world today, and one who is truly remarkable; such a rare find indeed.
But they are immortals, and there is a difference between immortals and mortals. They are above mortals. How can you take back what they said just because of a few words from a mere mortal?
Bi Yuewu sneered: "You've come at the right time. Then go in with your juniors. If the opportunity and good fortune truly fall upon you, these juniors can't take it away. What's meant to be yours will still be yours."
There was one more thing Bi Yuewu didn't say.
Without the right opportunity, one would still die inside.
Chen Huai'an sighed inwardly.
The original intention was to replace Zhang Yibai, Gu Changsheng, and Wang Shouyi.
As it turned out, these two immortals were not reasonable, and there was no room for negotiation.
So be it.
It would be safer for him to go in with them; all he could do was get Zhang Yibai and the others out.
Seeing that Chen Huai'an was no longer willing to say anything, Bi Yuewu assumed that he had resigned himself to his fate and paid no further attention to this little episode.
He took a deep breath and solemnly held up the bronze compass.
The ancient runes on the compass lit up one by one, gradually bursting out with a pale golden radiance, as if he were holding a miniature sun in his hands.
"Nine mysteries, heed my command!"
"Refining Profound Array, activate—!"
He spoke in a low, guttural voice, each syllable vibrating through the air as it rolled from the tip of his tongue.
The compass needle spun wildly in the center before finally coming to a stop.
The runes on the compass were imprinted on the ground, forming a ring that lit up sequentially over a thousand miles of land.
In an instant, golden runes spread across a thousand miles centered on Bi Yuewu.
The runes surged like waves, with a murky radiance seemingly about to emerge from them.
Finally, it condensed into a pillar of light that shot up straight into the sky.
Boom—!
Above the Nine Heavens, the Milky Way trembled.
The light of countless stars flickered erratically at this moment, and the originally orderly orbits of the stars were forcibly disturbed and distorted by this external force, as if an invisible net was being violently pulled.
The dark golden ripples spread rapidly across the deep screen, centered on the pillar of light. Wherever they passed, the stars paled in comparison, and even the high-hanging sun dimmed for a moment.
…
In the Upper Realm, within the Lingxiao Palace.
"What's going on?!"
"Why are the star orbits disordered?!"
"Such violent fluctuations are coming from the lower realm... what is stirring up the Zhou Dynasty?"
The immortals all felt a sudden tremor in their hearts, and their divine senses involuntarily turned towards the direction from which the fluctuation came, their faces showing more or less surprise and doubt.
This kind of direct interference with star orbits is something that cultivators in the lower realms could never possess, and even ordinary immortals and gods would find it difficult to do.
On the throne, the dark golden divine light rippled slightly.
Emperor Hao's calm voice rang out, instantly quelling the commotion in the palace.
"Nothing to worry about. This is simply the Bi Yuewu activating the Nine Heavens Refining Mystic Array. Everyone return to your positions and refrain from making any rash comments."
Upon hearing this, the immortals, though harboring doubts, dared not utter another word.
However, beneath his lowered eyelids, his gaze flickered uncertainly, clearly filled with apprehension towards the "Nine Heavens Refining Mystic Array" and the object suppressed beneath it.
…
The lower realm, the place where the beam of light pierced through.
Rumble—!
The earth emitted a roar even deeper than when the Earth Star moved the Demon Locking Tower.
"What's going on? A crack in the ground?!" Wang Shouyi, leaning against a rock, stared in horror at the widening crack at his feet.
“It’s not just a ground fissure, the entire area is sinking.” Zhang Yibai said gravely.
In situations like this, it's best to fly.
But an inexplicable force was applied to him, and his legs felt as if they were sinking into the ground, as if they were firmly hooked, unable to move.
Fortunately, no cracks appeared beneath his feet; the cracks circled around him, leaving him just enough space to stand.
The rock and soil that originally covered the surface were torn apart as if by a giant hand, sliding and collapsing in all directions, revealing the scene buried deep beneath the earth:
A massive underground palace is emerging from the ground!
The first thing to be revealed is the dome, which is not made of glazed tiles commonly found in palaces, but rather of some kind of dark, massive stone, exuding an ancient and wild atmosphere.
As the Earth's crust is stripped away, more of it is revealed.
The walls rise high like cliffs, and are carved with huge murals that are now blurred and indistinct.
Some indescribable ancient creatures and scenes of ancient battlefields can be vaguely seen.
Just looking at these murals, one can feel a desolate and deathly majesty, an extremely oppressive atmosphere.
This doesn't look like a palace; it looks more like a... tomb.
A colossal tomb that buries some unimaginable being.
Even with only the tip of the iceberg revealed, the pervasive aura of gloom and oppressive power had already turned Hua Jinzhen's face deathly pale, made Wang Shouyi almost suffocate, and even Zhang Yibai and Gu Changsheng suppressed their curiosity, their expressions becoming solemn.
Chen Huai'an's pupils contracted slightly.
He could sense the dormant sword intent within him erupting the moment it appeared in this underground palace.
A very subtle resonance and... shiver spontaneously arose within me.
The ground continued to rise, and everyone sank underground along with this area.
The surrounding light dimmed rapidly, as if we were falling into a bottomless abyss.
Only the compass in Bi Yuewu's hand and the faint light emitted from the luminous pearls on the eaves of the underground palace provided some illumination.
A sense of oppressive power lingered in the hearts of all the people present.
Not to mention moving, even breathing became difficult, and thoughts seemed to freeze.
I don't know how much time passed, but the heart-pounding tremors and the feeling of weightlessness finally stopped.
A deathly silence fell over the surroundings.
Only one door stood before them.
The gate was a hundred feet tall, seemingly cast entirely in bronze, covered with mottled marks, its age unknown.
Chen Huai'an even had a premonition.
If Earth is constantly in a cycle, then this underground palace seems to have entered the cycle from the time of 냭.
He had a strange feeling when he stood in front of this bronze gate.
He has come to a space independent of Earth.
Looking up, though it had sunk from the ground into the underground, the sky above was no longer visible; only the deep darkness resembled the throat of a giant beast.
The bronze gate was tightly sealed, as if it had been opened since time immemorial.
Nobody knows what's behind the door.
Even Bi Yuewu and Tu Fuxing didn't know.
This was also their first time inside the Nine Refining Mystic Array.
Looking at this giant gate, Bi Yuewu and Tu Fuxing's eyes were filled with caution and fear.
"The Refining Profound Array has been entered, and the gate has appeared." Bi Yuewu's voice echoed in the deathly silence, seemingly calm but actually somewhat weak. "Hua Jinzhen, stay here. The rest of you, go in and see if you are destined for the opportunities within."
