Formless Treasure
Meanwhile, at the Together Yang Mountain.
The commotion caused by Ling Pengyun and his group attacking the mountain alerted Bai Jiaqian of the Bai Lineage, who was in seclusion in the mountain.
At this moment, Bai Jiaqian looked out of the mountain and saw that there were five cultivators dressed in black and three Foundation Establishment Spirit Beast attacking the Clan Mountain. His brows immediately furrowed.
"Fellow practitioners from outside the mountain, I am Bai Jiaqian of the Tongyang Bai Family. My Bai Clan has no enmity with any of you. Why are you attacking my Together Yang Mountain?"
"If our fellow cultivators outside the mountain do not stop, the cultivators of my Bai Clan will show no mercy."
Upon hearing this, Ling Yunhong, the Clan Head from outside the mountain, laughed instead of getting angry.
"No enmity or grudge?"
"Fellow Daoist Bai makes it sound so easy."
"Today, only one of us can leave this place alive."
"We'd like to see just how ruthless your Bai Clan can be."
Bai Jiaqian, the patriarch of the Bai Lineage, who Together Yang Mountain, was furious when he heard the reply, but all he could do at that moment was rage.
If the four Foundation Establishment Cultivator and three Foundation Establishment Demon Beast outside the mountain continue to attack the Clan Mountain, the mountain's Mountain Protection Formation will probably be broken within a day or two.
"Jiaqian, what's going on?"
At this moment, another elderly Foundation Establishment Cultivator in Together Yang Mountain emerged from a Cultivation Abode on the mountaintop. Upon seeing the situation outside the mountain, he asked the Clan Head Bai Jiaqian.
The old man's name was Bai Yutian, the previous Clan Head of the Bai Clan, and he had only a few years left to live.
"Uncle Yutian, five Foundation Establishment Cultivator and three Foundation Establishment Realm Spirit Beast have come from outside the mountain to attack it."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yutian looked over and his eyes immediately fixed on the Immortal Spirit Crane King, who was in the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment.
"Immortal Spirit Crane?"
"Immortal Spirit Crane are already rare, and there are no Immortal Spirit Crane at the Foundation Establishment Realm even within the territory of my Chen Country."
"This Foundation Establishment Realm Immortal Spirit Crane, could it be... from the Lingxiao Ling Clan of the Yan Kingdom?"
Bai Yutian's gaze shifted, then he looked at the Wind Shadow Peng beyond the mountain, and immediately confirmed his guess.
"During the years you were in seclusion breaking through, I also sent clansmen to inquire about the Ling Clan. Among the news we received, it was mentioned that the Ling Clan Guardian Spirit Beast spirit beast, the Immortal Spirit Crane, and the Peng bird in the hands of the Ling Clan clan members had both entered the Foundation Establishment Realm. It must be these two."
"In your early years, you also had a feud with an elder of the Ling Clan over the Earthly Fiend Sword Formation."
"The five black-clad cultivators who attacked the mountain this time are highly likely to be from the Ling Clan clan. It is likely that they came here for revenge and for the second half of the Earthly Fiend Sword Formation of our Lineage."
"Why!"
Bai Yutian sighed softly, glancing at Bai Jiaqian beside him with a hint of reproach in his eyes, though he didn't utter a word of reproach.
Decades ago, if he and Ling Clan of the Ling Ruxian discovered the Earthly Fiend Sword Formation together, they probably would have wanted to keep it all for themselves.
After all, the Earthly Fiend Sword Formation is something that even Golden Core True Person would covet.
The more outsiders who know about such treasures, the greater the danger.
Fortunately, over the years, the Bai Clan and the Ling Clan family, who knew the power of the Earthly Fiend Sword Formation, seemed to have agreed not to spread the news that each family had obtained half of the Earthly Fiend Sword Formation. They only spread the word that they had obtained a fragmented Sword Formation.
At this moment, after hearing Bai Yutian's guess, the Clan Head Bai Jiaqian's eyes trembled, and memories of Ling Ruxian of the Ling Clan immediately surfaced in his mind.
A pang of regret welled up in my heart.
"Why!"
"Things have come to this point, war is the only option!!!"
Clan Head Bai Jiaqian's expression hardened, and he shouted loudly.
"When foreign enemies invaded, my fellow Bai Lineage members in Together Yang Mountain followed me to protect our clan."
"If the Clan Protection Formation is broken, we will surely be slaughtered."
Then, Bai Jiaqian waved her hand and patted the Storage Bag at her waist, taking out four Mother-Child Token in a row.
For some reason, the four Mother-Child Token all lost their power and were unable to transmit messages over long distances.
"How could this be?" Bai Jiaqian panicked immediately.
These four Mother-Child Token were left behind by the other four Foundation Establishment Family of Myriad Unities County. They can only be crushed when foreign enemies invade.
The other four Foundation Establishment Family will also rush over immediately after learning the news.
Bai Jiaqian looked around and finally spotted a strange Spirit Talisman Cave floating in the air, constantly flashing with spiritual light, behind Ling Pengyun and the others outside the mountain.
"Shielding Talisman?"
"They're really well prepared; they even managed to find such rare items."
"Now it's not just difficult to notify the other Lineage in Myriad Unities County, but even Jia Yun, who is stationed at the mine within the Lineage's territory, will probably be unable to provide timely support to the Lineage."
"This is troublesome."
Bai Jiaqian's pupils contracted slightly, and she muttered something to herself with a fierce expression.
Bai Jiayun is one of the three Foundation Establishment of the Bai Clan, but at this moment, Bai Jiayun is not in the Clan Mountain.
Instead, they were stationed on a mining vein within the Bai Clan's territory, a vein that had been discovered by the Bai Clan family members in recent years.
To prevent news of the mine from spreading, the Bai Clan concealed the fact that Bai Jiayun was not in the clan.
As a result, those in the Ling Clan who were gathering information received incorrect intelligence.
In fact, of the three Foundation Establishment in the Bai Clan, only the Clan Head Bai Jiaqian, who Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment, and Bai Yutian Early-Stage Foundation Establishment, are stationed in the clan.
"We can't delay any longer."
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Clan Head Bai Jiaqian immediately patted the Storage Bag at his waist and took out the array plate of the Bai Clan's protective formation, "Gale Golden Blade Grand Formation".
He took a deep breath and continuously Hand Seals into the array.
"The Shadowless Golden Blade, the Gale Long Banner."
"Out!"
This Gale Golden Blade Grand Formation consists of two array artifacts, one for offense and one for defense: the "Shadowless Golden Blade" and the "Gale Long Banner".
Both of these array artifacts are of the Second Grade Middle Rank. However, the Gale Long Banner is a more advanced dual-purpose magic Law Artifact. It can conjure up whirlwind blades for attack and also conjure up a Golden Wind Heavenly Qi Shield for defense.
The Shadowless Golden Blade and the Gale Long Banner complement each other, as the power of the gale can propel the Shadowless Golden Blade Shadowless Golden Blade, enhancing its power.
The very next moment, the formation protecting Together Yang Mountain suddenly trembled.
A series of strong winds swept around, and more than 600 golden flying knives silently emerged. Propelled by the wind, these golden knives moved with incredible speed, whistling past as they swiftly attacked Ling Pengyun and his companions outside the mountain.
At the same time, the other Qi Refining cultivators of the Bai Clan within Together Yang Mountain, as well as the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator named "Bai Yutian," also launched their attacks.
Ling Pengyun was concerned that the Black Armor Heavenly Qi formation erected by the Black Armored Turtle was insufficient to withstand the numerous attacks on his own.
He then formed hand Hand Seals and performed the Water Snake Technique.
A water snake, fourteen feet long, suddenly appeared, baring its fangs and claws as it met the most threatening six hundred or so Shadowless Golden Blade.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!..."
Countless golden blades struck the enormous water serpent, creating a series of clanging sounds.
The shimmering light of the water snake gradually dimmed.
After about three breaths, the water snake, whose power was comparable to the full force of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer cultivator, was riddled with holes, turned into countless rays of light, and dissipated on its own.
However, the more than six hundred flying knives formed from spiritual energy were also not in good shape, with at least 20% of their remaining strength being consumed.
Immediately afterward, another water snake was unleashed by Ling Pengyun through Hand Seals.
After unleashing five consecutive Water Snake Technique, the more than six hundred Shadowless Golden Blade conjured by the great formation also exhausted their remaining power and dissipated on their own.
Meanwhile, the Black Armored Turtle, relying on its Black Armor Heavenly Qi, easily blocked the attacks launched by dozens of the Bai Clan cultivators from Together Yang Mountain.
Clearly, this Black Armor Heavenly Qi technique possesses exceptional defensive capabilities.
This is precisely why Ling Pengyun values Black Armored Turtle; this turtle excels at defense.
With the strength of a turtle that has just entered the Foundation Establishment stage, its use of the Black Armor Heavenly Qi Technique is already comparable to the Transformed Defense Light Screen Second Grade Middle Rank defensive Law Artifact.
On the other side.
Together Yang Mountain.
Bai Jiaqian, the Clan Head controlled the Gale Golden Blade Grand Formation, felt extremely helpless when he saw that the combined attack created by the formation was so easily blocked.
However, given the current crisis, he had no time to think too much.
He waved his hand and cast another Method Formula into the array plate, conjuring the array weapon "Shadowless Golden Blade" of the Gale Golden Blade Array.
This artifact, the Shadowless Golden Blade, is different from the more than six hundred Shadowless Golden Blade that the previous array had conjured. This Shadowless Golden Blade is truly shadowless, and its entire body is transparent.
A whooshing sound echoed across the sky.
The next moment, the Black Armor Heavenly Qi supported by the Black Armored Turtle was hit hard, and a huge Ripples Marketplace appeared.
And where the Ripples Marketplace surged, cracks gradually appeared.
The Nameless Black Armored Turtle, whose innate Divine Ability, Black Armor Heavenly Qi Shield, had just been struck hard, was immediately startled and quickly gestured to its Master Ling Pengyun, who was standing to the side.
Ling Pengyun looked at the spot where Black Armor Heavenly Qi had been attacked, but found that nothing had worked and he couldn't detect any aura. He was somewhat surprised.
However, when he used his powerful Divine Sense, which was comparable to the Foundation Establishment Completion, to scan that area, he immediately discovered that an invisible flying knife was striking the Black Armor Heavenly Qi.
"Formless Magic Item?"
"The Bai Clan is quite fortuitous opportunity, to have even found a natal array artifact forged from Formless Gold."
"However... after that, this precious invisible array artifact will fall into the hands of my Ling Clan."
Upon seeing this, Ling Pengyun's face lit up with joy.
"Formless Gold" is a special kind of spiritual iron. Before it is forged into a magical Law Artifact, it has a form and its surface is white. However, this spiritual iron is naturally devoid of any aura.
Even when it is refined into Law Artifact, it will not emit any aura.
When Artifact Refiner inscribes special "invisible" spiritual patterns onto the invisible spiritual iron, forging it into Law Artifact, the "Formless Magic Item" is born.
It is compatible, and has an effect that is invisible and without breath.
It is a kind of ambush weapon, even more insidious than needle-type Law Artifact.
Ling Pengyun had already discovered the invisible golden knife, so naturally he wouldn't just stand by and watch.
With a flick of his Daoist robe, he summoned the "Sand Soil Bronze Bell," which had been reforged to the Second Rank High Grade. This bell directly enveloped the incredibly powerful and peculiar invisible golden blade, trapping it within the bell.
After the Sand Soil Bronze Bell reached the Second Rank High Grade, it became even harder.
The mere Second Grade Middle Rank invisible golden knife, no matter how it bombarded the inner wall of the Sand Soil Bronze Bell, could hardly cause much damage to the bell. At most, it could only create small grooves on the inner wall of the bell.
If Ling Pengyun hadn't recognized the preciousness of that invisible treasure sword, he could have directly activated the Black Rock Spirit Sand within the Sand Soil Bronze Bell and destroyed it in less than ten breaths.
It was precisely because this invisible treasured sword was trapped that the power of the Gale Golden Blade Grand Formation was reduced by nearly 70%, leaving only the gusts of wind transformed from the Gale Long Banner to bombard the Black Armor Heavenly Qi.
However, those whirlwind blades posed little threat to Black Armor Heavenly Qi.
However, the ten or twenty attacks launched by Ling Pengyun and the other eight Foundation Establishment warriors caused the Defense Array of Together Yang Mountain to shake continuously.
The power of that formation was also gradually diminishing.
Ling Pengyun and the others attacked continuously for nearly two hours, and each of them took two Spirit Returning Pill- restoring pills of the same level to recover their spiritual power. The power of the formation at Together Yang Mountain was no more than half of what it was when they were at their peak.
At this moment, Clan Head Ling Yunhong also used a Second Rank High Grade -Formation Breaking Talisman that he had prepared years ago to strike the array on Together Yang Mountain.
The Formation Breaking Talisman also took effect, frantically absorbing the Spiritual Qi within the array into its body.
Without the support of spiritual energy, the power of this Defense Array naturally weakens rapidly.
In just three breaths, the massive formation collapsed with a deafening roar.
"Formation Breaking Talisman!"
"Heaven has forsaken the Bai Clan!"
Bai Jiaqian, Together Yang Mountain, saw that the formation had been broken and several cracks had appeared on the array plate in his hand, making it difficult to reactivate in a short time. His face darkened, and he sighed helplessly.
