The auspicious cloud held firm, the Golden Dipper failed!
Inside the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation.
Yellow sand filled the sky, and fog billowed.
As soon as the Twelve Golden Immortals stepped inside, they felt the surrounding world change.
Before me stretched endless yellow sand, obscuring the sky and the sun.
Beneath my feet lies the illusory reflection of a winding river, meandering along, yet its source and destination remain unseen.
Even more terrifying is that the omnipresent yellow sand and fog carry a strange power that seems to be able to obscure the Primordial Spirit, isolate the Heavenly Secrets, and disrupt Karma.
"What a bizarre formation!"
True Person Yuding was the first to stop. His Surrounding Body was filled with sword intent as he tried to see through the illusion.
But he found that his Divine Sense was like a mud ox sinking into the sea, unable to penetrate more than a hundred feet.
"Within this formation, yin Yinyang are reversed, and Qiankun and earth are confused. Our connection with the outside world has been completely severed!"
True Person Taiyi's Surrounding Body flashed with fire as he attempted to dispel the fog with Samadhi True Fire, but the flames had barely left the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud.
It was suppressed by an invisible force, and could only linger within three feet of Auspicious Cloud, unable to illuminate the path ahead.
"This is no ordinary formation! It contains the wonders of innate Zaohua, capable of diminishing Humanity Dao and severing their foundation!"
Chijingzi summoned a Treasure Mirror, its light flashing, but it could only reflect a Chaos, making it impossible to see through the true nature of the formation.
Guangchengzi activated the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud above his head, and the Xuanhuang light screen protected everyone inside. He looked around and also felt tremendous pressure.
"The Interception Sect formations are indeed as renowned as they claim," he said coldly.
"But that's all! A bunch of unorthodox methods, ultimately they can't be brought to the table!"
Outside the formation lies the central hub.
As Bixiao watched the twelve Dao Body being completely swallowed up by the great formation, her pretty face was filled with barely suppressed excitement and killing intent.
"Big sister! They're coming in!"
"What are you waiting for? Quickly activate the formation and send them all down to the mortal realm, to the Investiture of the Gods!"
Fairy Qiongxiao also spoke up, her voice tinged with urgency.
"Yes, sister, we can't let them have a chance to catch their breath inside!"
Yunxiao looked at her two younger sisters' impatient expressions and simply nodded calmly, her aloof face revealing no emotional fluctuation.
But her actions were without hesitation.
"Rise!"
She uttered a single word, made a hand seal, and pointed it at the center of the array.
Buzz!
At this moment, the entire Nine Bends Yellow River Formation came to life!
The endless yellow sand began to surge wildly, transforming into deadly tornadoes.
The illusory image of the winding river instantly solidified, its turbid waves surging and roaring deafeningly.
Immediately afterwards, Yunxiao flipped her jade hand.
A Golden Light, ancient-style, bucket-shaped magical Magic Treasure appeared out of thin air in her palm.
Hunyuan Golden Dipper!
Yunxiao infused his Magic Power into it, and the golden dou instantly shone brightly, transforming into a stream of light that shot into the sky and hovered above the great formation.
"Go!"
She pointed towards the direction where the Twelve Golden Immortals were located in the formation.
The Hunyuan Golden Dipper spun rapidly, its mouth facing downwards, and a terrifying suction force, vast and boundless, seemingly capable of encompassing all things in heaven and earth, instantly enveloped the entire formation!
Inside the formation, Guangchengzi and the others were proceeding cautiously.
Suddenly, an irresistible and terrifying force descended from the sky.
"Not good!"
"It's that Hunyuan Golden Dipper!"
Guangchengzi roared, recognizing the infamous treasure of the Interception Sect.
"Fellow disciples, infuse your Magic Power into Auspicious Cloud!"
He dared not be negligent in the slightest, and frantically poured his own Magic Power into the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud above his head.
Buzz!
The Auspicious Cloud, about an acre in size, suddenly shone brightly, Xuanhuang light screen instantly became thick and solid, firmly blocking the terrifying suction force outside.
With Guangchengzi's reminder, the other Golden Immortal also woke up from their dream and poured their Magic Power into the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud without reservation.
With the support of the Magic Power of eleven Daluo Golden Immortal, the power of the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud was fully unleashed.
Ten thousand golden lamps, dangling pearls, and myriad rays of light bloomed, yet no matter how terrifying the suction of the Hunyuan Golden Dipper was, the Xuanhuang light curtain remained as stable as Mount Tai, completely unmoved.
Upon seeing Yunxiao, Yunxiao frowned slightly.
She activated the formation again, mobilizing the power of the entire Nine Bends Yellow River Formation to enhance the Hunyuan Golden Dipper.
The Golden Light intensified, and the absorption power increased several times over!
But in the end, it was all in vain.
The Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud were like the most solid barrier between heaven and earth, and no matter what Supernatural Power or magical Magic Treasure you possessed, you could not shake them in the slightest.
The central point of the formation.
Seeing this, Bixiao stomped her feet in anger.
"How so?"
"Elder sister, even the Hunyuan Golden Dipper can't take away the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud?"
Qiongxiao's face was also full of solemnity.
After a long while, Yunxiao withdrew the magic Magic Power that had been activating the Golden Cauldron. The Hunyuan Golden Dipper, which had been suspended high in the sky, transformed back into a stream of light and flew back into her hand.
She gently stroked the body of the vessel, and for the first time, a hint of helplessness appeared on her usually aloof face.
"Truly a treasure from which Saint Dao-Realization Treasure, transformed from the righteous energy of the Great God Pangu."
She sighed softly, a hint of helplessness in her voice.
"Unparalleled defense, impervious to all magic, truly lives up to its reputation."
"Even with the combined power of the entire formation, I still couldn't shake it."
"It's impossible to force our way through this defense."
Upon hearing this, Bixiao immediately deflated, her face filled with resentment.
"What can we do? Are we just going to watch them get away with it inside?"
"Then all our efforts in setting up this grand formation would have been wasted!"
Upon hearing this, Yunxiao's lips curled into a cold smile.
"A carefree and unrestrained life? They're dreaming."
"Since a direct assault fails, then we'll trap and kill them!"
"My two sisters, come with me!"
Yunxiao turned around and walked towards the core area of the formation.
"I will take the lead in establishing this grand formation, completely isolating the inside from the outside and severing all spiritual Spiritual Qi from this place!"
"I'd like to see how long they can sustain those Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud without replenishing Spiritual Qi, relying solely on their own Magic Power!"
Beneath the Auspicious Cloud, the Twelve Golden Immortals had temporarily regained their footing, but each of their faces was filled with lingering fear and horror.
"That was close! That Hunyuan Golden Dipper was incredibly domineering!"
True Person Taiyi patted his chest, still shaken.
Chijingzi also looked relieved.
"If it weren't for the protection of the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud, our magical Magic Treasure would probably have all been taken by that demon!"
Guangchengzi composed himself and spoke sternly.
"This formation is far too dangerous, and the Hunyuan Golden Dipper in the hands of the Sanxiao is incredibly powerful. We cannot linger here!"
"The only way out now is to quickly find the core of the formation, kill the Sanxiao, and then we can break free!"
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Braving the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud, they began their arduous search for the flaws in the formation amidst the endless yellow sand.
However, the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation was unpredictable and ever-changing. They walked for half a day, but it seemed like they were going around in circles, unable to find any way out.
Just then, the True Person Yuding suddenly stopped in his tracks.
True Person Taiyi was getting impatient.
"Junior Brother Yu Ding, why did you stop?"
"If we don't hurry, and the Sanxiao activate the Golden Cauldron again, we'll be put on the defensive again!"
True Person Yuding did not answer. He simply raised his head, looked around at the desolate yellow sand, and sensed the eerie world around him.
"Fellow senior brothers, haven't you... felt it?"
His words stunned everyone.
Chijingzi subconsciously activated his profound internal energy, attempting to absorb the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth.
The next moment, he froze completely.
"The Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth..."
The Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth... has vanished!
These words, like a thunderclap from the heavens, exploded in the minds of every Golden Immortal.
Everyone stopped in their tracks, their faces showing disbelief and terror.
They finally realized that this space had, without them noticing, become an absolute dead zone!
Not a trace of Spiritual Qi from heaven and earth remains!
Without the replenishment of Spiritual Qi from heaven and earth, they could only rely on their own Magic Power to activate the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud.
No matter how powerful their Magic Power is, how long can those twelve people hold out?
Once their Magic Power is exhausted, they will be at the mercy of others!
"Speed up!"
Guangchengzi shouted sharply, his expression becoming urgent for the first time.
"We must find the core of the formation as soon as possible!"
