Burning Profound Yin

The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

Yu Fuzi, of course, couldn't hear Liusu's words and thought Qin Yi was deep in thought. But when Qin Yi spoke, he almost wet himself in fright. "Burn... burn the Mountain Protection Array?"

"Yes," Qin Yi said matter-of-factly, "I don't need you to do anything, just provide me with some nodes for this formation."

Yu Fuzi's face twitched. "This is a great formation that can defend against Qian Yuan... If you burn it, you will be killed by the direct counterattack."

"You don't need to worry about that, fellow Daoist." Qin Yi patted his shoulder. "You can even lead your men out to beat me up when I ignite the great formation, to show your loyalty to the sect."

Yu Fuzi looked at Qin Yi as if he were a madman.

"Oh, by the way... there's something I wanted to ask." Qin Yi asked, "You recognized the Overturning Sea Divine Sword the moment my dao companion made a move that day. Was it that easy to recognize? Doesn't your Land of Chaos have little interaction with the Central Lands?"

"Brother, the Penglai Sword Pavilion has been established for twenty or thirty thousand years. We also migrated from Shenzhou in the early days. Who doesn't recognize their signature sword techniques... Although I haven't witnessed them in person, guessing them shouldn't be difficult." Yu Fuzi said, "Are you worried that your dao companion's identity is too obvious and will cause trouble for her sect?"

"Hmm." Actually, Penglai Sword Pavilion wasn't afraid of getting involved in this kind of trouble. What Qin Yi was really worried about was that if the Penglai female Sword Cultivator's conspicuous identity got out, the Witch God Sect would soon find out that he was in the Land of Chaos.

Although Qin Yi doubted whether the Witch God Sect knew that Li Qingjun was with him, after all, Feng Bulie had died with his own eyes, and perhaps in the Witch God Sect's mind, Qin Yi was the enemy. Therefore, Li Duanxuan also thought that as long as Li Qingjun stayed at home, she would have nothing to do with him.

Yu Fuzi, unaware of his considerations, laughed and said, "That's alright. Even if we fail this time, Xuan Hao wouldn't dare to provoke Penglai Sword Pavilion. Besides, Brother Qi, you wouldn't want Xuan Hao to continue in charge, would you?"

Qin Yi smiled slightly, "Then we really have to rely on you to make the decisions..."

Despite saying that, he still deliberately added the "Formless Realm" Technique Method to himself and Li Qingjun. Whether or not it could conceal the origin of Li Qingjun's sword skills, it could at least conceal her cultivation, which would be beneficial in misleading others during the battle.

"Come on, fellow Daoist, show us your grand formation."

Yu Fuzi was speechless, feeling that what he said sounded really strange.

So-called Mountain Protection Array can be categorized in several ways. Some are massive, round domes covering mountain ranges, forming a formidable barrier. Others are offensive, lacking a physical Protective Barrier, but subjecting anyone entering them to terrifying attacks. The Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace is the latter, while the Profound Yin Sect is the former, with a massive egg-shaped Protective Barrier covering the entire sect, making it impossible to enter without a guide through a secret passage.

The so-called "burning the formation" does not refer to burning through the eggshell. This method of breaking the formation is only possible through overwhelming superiority and brute force. When Yu Fuzi attacked Shen Yunzi, he said that "breaking the great formation would leave no one alive." This was the kind of method he was referring to.

But Qin Yi obviously couldn't do that.

Any grand formation relies on the spiritual veins of a mountain or special terrain, using Array Flag or other appropriate materials to create the array. Every formation has nodes and interconnected lines. This is what needs to be burned, and the burning will naturally cause a violent counterattack from the formation; as long as it can withstand it, it's fine.

However, from the outside, it's absolutely impossible for an outsider to find these nodes. Even the most skilled master of formations can't grope around like a blind man trying to describe an elephant. Only by entering the formation itself and experiencing its entirety can one discern the nodes and weaknesses from the changes in the flow of Spiritual Qi. For Mountain Protection Array of this caliber, if you go in and experience it, you might not come back...

Therefore, you need an inside contact who can simply point you to the key point.

"This place should be a relatively weak point for counterattacks." Yu Fuzi led Qin Yi to a mountain hollow on the outskirts and pointed to the "eggshell" in the distance, saying, "There are Array Flag down here. If you want to burn it, burn it towards the ley lines here. People must not go underground, otherwise the counterattack will be even more deadly."

"Relax, I'm familiar with formations." Qin Yi grinned, then suddenly pulled out a set of Array Flag and began to set up the formation.

Yu Fuzi, feeling the immense power emanating from the Array Flag —comparable to Mountain Protection Array— stared wide-eyed. "W-what is this? Did you just casually pull out a Mountain Protection Array? Are you human or a humanoid sect leader?"

Qin Yi chuckled.

These Array Flag were spoils of war seized from the Heavenly Being; they were quite high-end, and I couldn't control them before. Only now, in my seclusion in Huiyang, can I properly use them... There were several such items among the spoils of war, which shows how abundant the Heavenly Being's resources are, far surpassing those of any mortal sect.

The Array Flag are inanimate objects; how they are arranged depends on the skill of the person wielding them. Qin Yi has set up a classic Fire Dragon Array, infusing it with his own fire power. This allows the formation to amplify its power, creating a fiery dragon that continuously burns what lies ahead. Not only is the power increased, but the attack is also sustained. Most importantly, any counterattacks from the enemy are naturally countered by the formation itself, not by the person who set it up.

This is the most suitable formation for this situation.

This is the advantage of being knowledgeable; what you learn may seem useless in everyday life, but you can use it when needed.

Seeing that Qin Yi had already injected the fire seed into the core of the formation and that the formation's power was about to be triggered, Yu Fuzi turned and ran.

I initially thought this guy was just being arrogant and delusional. But judging from his actions, he can actually Burning Profound Yin!

It's time to go back and play the role of a loyal disciple of the sect.

Just as they crawled back into the secret passage, they heard a loud "boom" outside.

Yu Fuzi poked his head out of the pool and glanced at it, only to see flames shooting into the sky in the distance.

A massive fire dragon roared out in front of Qin Yi, accurately scorching the point where the Protective Barrier met the ground. Then, the flames quickly spread along the "eggshell," instantly covering the air for miles around, truly resembling a giant egg being burned.

The "giant egg" possessed its own counterattack power, and Qin Yi, though unsure of its exact strength, could see his Array Flag swaying and struggling. The fire dragon, under the force of the counterattack, sometimes recoiled and sometimes lunged back. The area where the flames clashed with the counterattack energy was engulfed in raging heat, the fire spreading for miles, resembling a living hell.

Just at this point of impact, even an ordinary cultivator from the Huiyang realm would probably die.

Qin Yi carefully manipulated the formation. Given the current situation, if he didn't take action, it would be easily extinguished by the giant egg's counterattack and wouldn't burn for long.

The intense flames lit up the sky, and alarms blared throughout the Profound Yin Sect: "The enemy has set the mountain on fire!"

Amidst the chaos of war, countless male and female Daoist priests rushed out, including Yu Fuzi, who had just run back.

Leading the group were two Huiyang, followed by several Tengyun, and the rest were all Qin Xin and Feng Chu. It was clear that the Profound Yin Sect had not recovered its strength in recent years. There were probably a few Tengyun following Xuan Hao Zhenren to assist in suppressing the Thousand Mountains Alliance, and that was all.

Such power was so great that they didn't even dare to pass directly in front of the fire dragon and the giant egg, instead detouring to the left and right and attacking from behind.

As they got closer, someone immediately recognized Qin Yi and exclaimed, "It's Qi Wu! You dare to come here!"

Qin Yi grinned. "Why wouldn't I dare to come?"

A Daoist priest named Huiyang laughed, looking up at the sky. "Hell has no gates, yet you insisted on barging in. Now that you're unable to control the formation and are distracted, aren't you just going to surrender?"

Yu Fuzi, with his superb acting skills, shouted sternly, "Avenge my Martial Grand-Uncle!"

Qin Yi focused on controlling the formation, then turned to Li Qingjun and grinned, "They don't seem very good... My Princess, protect me."

"Terrible lines!" Li Qingjun kicked him irritably, then suddenly turned around, flicked her silver spear, and her Gang Qi carved out a fan-shaped rift several feet in diameter behind the fire dragon.

He then pointed his gun horizontally and shouted, "Anyone who crosses the line, die!"

The person on the other end instinctively braked outside the lane.

Who is this woman?

Qi Wu's Burning Profound Yin Sect was already arrogant enough. This woman is even more ruthless; does she mean she intends to fight the entire Xuan Yin Sect alone with just her spear?

Is this what a normal person would think? Are we from the Land of Chaos, or are you?
