The Interception Sect departed
Not long after Yunxiao and the others left, Wen Zhong hurriedly arrived.
"Greetings, Your the King!"
Wen Zhong quickly stepped forward and bowed to Di Xin.
Seeing his slightly anxious expression, Di Xin asked.
"Grand Tutor, is the city still in order?"
"Your the King, all is well."
Wen Zhong first reported on the government affairs, then could no longer suppress his questions and asked eagerly.
"Your the King, have all my Martial Uncle already departed?"
"Is the formation... complete?"
Although he witnessed the extraordinary phenomena of heaven and earth during the formation and clearly felt the changes in his own Magic Power, a trace of uncertainty still remained in his heart.
His magical Magic Power was indeed completely suppressed, making him no different from an ordinary person.
However, he was, after all, only Golden Immortal.
The target of this grand formation is Daluo Golden Immortal, or even an even stronger being.
He had not personally witnessed the suppression of the Magic Power of Qiongxiao, Bixiao, and the Ten Heavenly Lords.
Therefore, their true understanding of the power of this great formation is not very clear.
He wasn't sure if this formation could suppress Daluo Golden Immortal, or even someone stronger.
What if this formation isn't effective enough in suppressing Daluo Golden Immortal? Wouldn't all our efforts be in vain?
Looking at Wen Zhong's face, which was filled with anxiety and worry, Di Xin naturally understood what he was thinking.
"It's a success."
"When the formation operates on its own, it is powerful enough to suppress the Magic Power of all Daluo Golden Immortal."
He paused, then added.
"If I were to personally control it, even if Quasi-Sage were to arrive, their Magic Power would still be suppressed."
Wen Zhong's body jolted violently, and his eyes widened instantly.
Quasi-Sage!
It can even suppress the Magic Power of Quasi-Sage!
He originally thought that this great formation was already at its limit if it could suppress even Daluo Golden Immortal.
Unexpectedly, under the King's personal control, it has reached such an unbelievable state!
Looking at Wen Zhong, who was utterly shocked, Di Xin sincerely praised him.
"The array formations of the Interception Sect truly deserve to be called unparalleled in the Primordial Wilderness."
"Achieving such an effect has indeed exceeded my expectations."
Upon hearing this, all of Wen Zhong Zhong's worries vanished instantly, replaced by boundless joy.
"Very good!"
Congratulations, Your the King! Congratulations, Your the King!
Immediately afterwards, a sense of pride welled up in my heart.
He straightened his back and spoke in a loud voice.
"Your the King flatters me."
"When it comes to the art of formations, our Interception Sect can indeed be called the number one in the Primordial Wilderness!"
This is something that all disciples of the Interception Sect are proud of.
Di Xin nodded and said nothing more.
The Interception Sect's formations are indeed formidable, and the abilities of Yunxiao and the others are beyond doubt.
It was just a fleeting thought.
The immense pressure that had been pressing down on Wen Zhong vanished without a trace in an instant.
Wen Zhong felt a lightness throughout his body; the invisible shackles vanished instantly, and his long-lost Magic Power flowed smoothly through his meridians once more.
This feeling of having lost it and then regained it deepened his awe of the great formation.
"Let's go back to the palace," came Di Xin's voice.
"Yes, Your the King."
Wen Zhong respectfully responded and followed behind Di Xin as they left the Imperial Grand Ancestral Temple.
Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Everything in Chaoge City has long since returned to calm.
The Grand Tutor's Mansion.
Inside the Quiet Room specially prepared for Yunxiao and the others, the ethereal mist slowly dissipated.
The Sanxiao and the Ten Heavenly Lords awoke from their deep meditation almost simultaneously.
After a month of recuperation, the Great Dharma Power and mental energy they had consumed in setting up the formation were finally fully restored, and they returned to their peak condition.
"Call..."
Bixiao, the most lively of them all, let out a long Turbid Qi and was the first to stand up.
"It's finally recovered."
"Elder sister, now that our Magic Power have been restored, let's return to Golden Ao Island as soon as possible."
"I don't want to stay in this Chaoge City for another second."
"Ever since this grand formation was set up, I've felt uneasy staying in Chaoge City."
"Although the Human Emperor granted us special privileges, allowing our Magic Power to be unrestricted, this feeling is absolutely terrible."
That feeling is hard to describe.
It's like a fish out of water; although magic keeps it alive, the suffocating feeling stemming from its life-giving instincts can never be shaken off.
Upon hearing this, Qiongxiao nodded.
"My sister is right; I feel the same way."
"The entire city is permeated with an aura that repels our Immortal Path power."
"Although it's harmless to us, staying here for too long is still uncomfortable."
Qin Wan also sighed.
"What my two senior sisters said is very true; I also feel very uncomfortable."
"This place is, after all, the capital of the Human Clan, a place where the great forces of Humanity Dao converge. We immortals are ultimately outsiders."
"Now that the grand formation is complete, the task entrusted to us by the Human Emperor has been accomplished, and it is time for us to retire gracefully."
"If we stay here any longer, it will hinder our cultivation. We should return as soon as possible."
The others chimed in.
"Yes, it's time to go back."
"The Cave Abode on Golden Ao Island is far more comfortable than this mortal world."
They had become accustomed to absorbing the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, achieving a carefree state of harmony with the Great Dao.
However, this Chaoge City was like a giant dome, isolating them from the outside world and the Great Dao.
Even with freedom of movement and unimpeded Magic Power, the feeling of being out of place still made them extremely uncomfortable.
Yunxiao opened her eyes, her clear, cold eyes showing little emotion.
She naturally felt that discomfort as well.
"Very well, now that this matter is settled, we should return to report to our master."
After saying that, she made a hand seal and sent a message to Wen Zhong.
Before long, Wen Zhong rushed over.
Wen Zhong pays his respects to all his senior Martial Uncle.
Are you all about to set off back to Golden Ao Island, my fellow Martial Uncle?
Yunxiao nodded.
"Martial Nephew Wen Zhong, we have come down the mountain on the orders of our master to set up the formation."
"Now that the grand formation is complete, we should return to Golden Ao Island to report back to our master."
Wen Zhong was not surprised to hear this.
He was well aware that the current environment of Chaoge City was not a place for these Martial Uncle immortals to stay for long.
"I understand, Martial Nephew."
"Now that the formation is complete, it would indeed be a delay in your cultivation if you Martial Uncle stayed in Chaoge any longer. It would be best for you to return as soon as possible."
"I will now lead my fellow Martial Uncle to the palace to bid farewell to the King."
Everyone nodded.
Then, led by Wen Zhong, the group headed straight for the palace.
Nine Chamber Hall.
When Wen Zhong led Yunxiao and his entourage to the capital, Di Xin was sitting on his throne, reviewing memorials.
Upon seeing the crowd arrive, he put down the bamboo slips in his hand.
"Fellow Daoists, are you departing?"
Yunxiao stepped forward and bowed slightly.
"Your Human Emperor, the grand formation is complete. We need not disturb you any longer and have come today to bid Human Emperor farewell."
Di Xin rose from his throne and slowly walked down the steps.
"Good."
"Thank you all for your hard work in setting up this formation."
Yunxiao and the others returned the greeting in unison.
"Your Human Emperor's words are weighty."
"This is my duty."
Di Xin looked at them, especially Yunxiao who was at the head, and spoke solemnly.
I will never forget my promise.
His words became incredibly clear, and an invisible aura of authority filled the entire hall.
"Tribulation is approaching."
"I am willing to stand with the Interception Sect through thick and thin."
Yunxiao took a deep breath and solemnly bowed to Di Xin.
"Thank Human Emperor."
The other Twelve Ancestral Witches immortals of the Interception Sect also bowed in unison.
"Thank Human Emperor."
"In that case, we'll take our leave."
"I see you all off."
Di Xin personally escorted them out of the Nine Chamber Hall.
Yunxiao and the others bowed to Di Xin again, and then did not linger.
Transforming into thirteen streaks of light, they soared into the sky and flew straight towards Golden Ao Island in the East Sea China Sea.
Di Xin stared in the direction they had disappeared, remaining silent for a long time.
After a long while, a soft, almost inaudible murmur finally rang out in the hall.
"The chess pieces are in their places."
"Next... we should wait for the real players to enter the arena."
