The Formless Game

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

If Qin Yi were here, he would discover that... the "mother-in-law" who prevented him from being with Minghe, beat him up, embedded him in a tree trunk, and ultimately made the hundred-year Huiyang Pact, was not an Old Daoist Nun...

Instead, she is a very beautiful, down-to-earth, mature woman.

Zuo Qingtian knew, of course, that everyone in the Celestial Pivot Divine Palace was a monk; this guy's lay attire was simply because he didn't care about the formalities of the Daoist robe.

Unlike the people of the Land of Chaos, she did not do anything intentionally. She would not paint her Daoist robe in a comical way like Tai Huang Jun, nor would she ride a duck to show that she was different from others like Cloud Wanderer.

Everything she did was natural.

Wear the Daoist robe when you want to, and don't wear it when you don't want to.

I'll comb my hair when I feel like it, and when I don't, I'll just leave it as it is now, like drifting clouds or willows swaying in the breeze.

If you have something in your heart, why bother with calculations?

This is true formlessness.

She strolled down from the sky, a Wine Gourd in her hand, which she tilted back and took a sip. Her lotus-like steps moved lightly, each step covering a thousand miles; her speed, which was almost instantaneous, was somehow conveyed with a leisurely and carefree air.

Up close, you can see a hint of languid charm on her face, but her eyes are incredibly Mingliang, seemingly piercing into your very soul. "The gluttonous beast has appeared, a catastrophe for humanity. Forget it, Lao Zuo, you can't even handle it yourself."

Zuo Qingtian seemed somewhat helpless about her attitude, and sighed, "Others are afraid of bearing karma, but when has my Witch God Sect ever been afraid? If you're afraid of this, why cultivate demonic arts at all? How can you still be so idiotic after all these years?"

The two of them sounded surprisingly familiar with each other.

Or rather, both of them are very easygoing.

"Stop bragging. We're really not afraid at all. Why do you always avoid any actions that directly involve the struggle for human supremacy? The Human Emperor has been handed to you, and you haven't bullied him even once. When did the Witch God Sect become so kind and amiable?"

"It's very simple. I simply don't want this ceremony to have any negative impact. I hope the fate of the Great Qian Dynasty can protect it. As for anything else... even if the Great Qian Dynasty collapses at that time, and even if all the kingdoms of the Western Regions are completely wiped out, what can the karmic burdens of all living beings place upon me?"

Xi Yue smiled and said, "I'm afraid I've missed a point... You're just waiting to use me and then discard me. The first thing the Taotie will do when it appears will probably be to devour the Human Emperor. The Taotie is special; not only will it not suffer any backlash, it might even be able to devour mountains and rivers."

Zuo Qingtian finally showed some surprise. "This isn't some kind of divination from afar; it's more like a strategic decision based on the current situation. Who analyzed this for you?"

Xi Yue's eyes widened. "What, in your eyes I can't scheme?"

Zuo Qingtian shook his head. "Your divination is definitely not accurate enough to the details of this matter. Even if you had already foreseen the matters related to the Witch God Sect, my formless barrier is here, and you can only get a general idea at most. If you had really foreseen everything, there would definitely be more than just you from the Celestial Pivot Divine Palace. You came here temporarily, and you may even have come from elsewhere."

"Is it okay if it's just a temporary feeling?"

"Okay." Zuo Qingtian finally stopped talking.

Xi Yue hummed a couple of times, muttering something unintelligible, before finally saying, "Back then, the summoning of Qiongqi in the East Sea was fraught with difficulties even in the mere Tengyun Plane, proving that summoning Qiongqi itself isn't difficult. The difficulty lies in the obstacles caused by the appearance of such a malevolent spirit; all sorts of inexplicable causal relationships will interfere. Therefore, this time, for you, this altar used to suppress misfortune is the most important, even more important than personally performing the ritual, right?"

Zuo Qingtian chuckled, "So, here comes the resistance you've been facing..."

The two of them shut their mouths at the same time, and the atmosphere instantly Killing Intent.

Actually, this matter is a bit subtle.

The two are evenly matched. If they were to truly determine a winner, they would probably have to fight all the way to the Nine Heavens, and it might take several days and nights to finish the battle.

Ke Xi Yue's goal was not to fight Zuo Qingtian to the death; she came to destroy the altar.

The altar itself is very fragile. Zuo Qingtian protects it, it's because he reinforces it with Protective Barrier or something similar; it doesn't mean that Zuo Qingtian himself has any protective power. If Qing Xuanzi wanted to break it, it would be very difficult, but for Xi Yue, breaking it wouldn't be much harder than breaking tofu.

Even if the power splashes out, the altar might collapse. In a battle between equals, it would indeed be difficult for Zuo Qingtian to intercept all the power and protect it perfectly.

However, in return, Zuo Qingtian can unleash his ultimate move at will. He is not afraid of the destruction of Dragon Abyss City, nor is he afraid of turning a thousand miles into a dead land. But Xi Yue is afraid.

Both being of the formless realm, this little bit of fortune and karma is nothing to them. But Zuo Qingtian is a demonic cultivator, so it doesn't matter. Xi Yue is Righteous Path, and she cannot bear to witness or even personally cause such a devastating event, as it might damage her Dao Heart.

Both sides had reservations, so this fight couldn't be fought like that; they had to coordinate to fight in the air.

Heaven's strike means an exchange.

The altar was left below, leaving Zuo Qingtian's subordinates to guard against Qing Xuanzi...

Zuo Qingtian no longer has any Qian Yuan subordinates. The main force is at the Taotie Altar, and the sect still needs to have some left behind. He doesn't plan to bring any more Qian Yuan to the place where he is personally taking action. He only brought four Huiyang Witcher to cast spells and use.

Similarly, other Righteous Path alliances would not know that the most important battle was actually taking place in Dragon Abyss City, and apart from Qing Xuanzi, no other Righteous Path would appear in the short term.

With the four Huiyang Witcher and Zuo Qingtian's own protective Protective Barrier, whether or not Qing Xuanzi whether he has the ability. There is indeed suspense on the surface.

When one's cultivation reaches a certain level, both righteous and demonic beings share the same carefree and unburdened spirit. In the eyes of these two formless beings, this is also an interesting and unknown game; no matter how important victory or defeat may be, they will simply laugh it off and come back for another chance.

The two exchanged a glance, their thoughts aligned, and simultaneously soared into the sky, disappearing from sight.

This montage-like performance, where he said nothing, startled Qing Xuanzi. As a Qian Yuan cultivator, he quickly grasped the meaning behind it and, without a word, unleashed his trump Law Treasure, blasting it towards the altar.

"Boom!"

A mushroom cloud seemed to rise above Dragon Abyss City.

The four Witcher chanted in unison, but the altar remained completely still.

High above, Zuo Qingtian chuckled, "Xi Yue, you're going to lose."

Xi Yue tilted her head.

Zuo Qingtian sighed, "The Taiyi Sect's interference in the mortal world, even directly attacking the Human Emperor, has already backfired due to our Technique Method. Even if Qing Xuanzi might be able to break this Four Symbols Formation under normal circumstances, he certainly won't be able to break it now. On the surface, it might just be that he's too angry to see the flaws, but in reality, his fate is indeed at play."

Xi Yue tilted her head to a different angle. "Is this why you think victory is assured?"

Zuo Qingtian chuckled, "The outcome is already quite clear."

Xi Yue sighed, "You gluttons want to eat the Human Emperor."

"So what?"

"Do you even know who this emperor is?"

Zuo Qingtian laughed and said, "Of course we know she is Qin Yi's disciple. Qin Yi has a grudge against our sect, yet she wants to scheme against us. Does she think we don't know? This is just the little girl being too clever for her own good."

"You're all focusing on Qin Yi?" Xi Yue laughed. "Don't you know she has an ancestor from who-knows-how-many generations ago?"

Zuo Qingtian was taken aback.

The people under the Witch God Sect had certainly investigated Li Wuxian, but ordinary people can't really investigate back to his ancestors. They were distracted by Qin Yi and didn't pay attention to his ancestors. So when they reported to Zuo Qingtian, his ancestors were naturally not involved.

Even if the Witch God Sect knew they had ancestors, they probably wouldn't care. Countless generations of descendants—most cultivators would have severed ties long ago, making it impossible to form any karmic connection. Their own Mount Mang Venerable wouldn't even glance at his descendants after they were trampled to death; what kind of nonsense is that?

But just as Zuo Qingtian was taken aback, a terrifying Sword-Ray erupted from below.

Zuo Qingtian's expression changed drastically. "The Demon-Slaying Heavenly Sword! Li Duanxuan?"

Xi Yue sighed, "Li Duanxuan may have already given up on her, but unfortunately he took in a disciple who happens to be the Human Emperor's aunt. What is he supposed to do?"
