Repair the Plank Road in the Open, Cross Chencang in Secret!

"We humbly request that the two masters break the formation."

Seeing this, Xun Tiange spoke up to the two Daoist priests dressed in Daoist robes on the side.

"This formation—"

"Please wait a moment, Venerable Xun."

Chengfeng and Liu Bi stood to the side, each holding a star chart, their eyes gleaming with mysterious light as they stared End Mountain Array, constantly calculating and deducing. The more they calculated, the more anxious they became, their faces turning red, and fine beads of sweat appearing on their foreheads.

Obviously.

The formation was ingenious, putting considerable pressure on the two of them.

"How?"

Xun Tiange frowned slightly, a sense of foreboding creeping into his heart.

While Chengfeng was still calculating, Liu Bi took a deep breath and shook his head, saying, "This formation is profound. I only calculated it from outside the formation, but the True Intention of subduing demons attacked, and thunder resounded through my sea of consciousness, interfering with my calculations. Forgive my bluntness, but even if Grandmaster Muyang of the Celestial Star Sect came in person, he might not be able to comprehend the wonders of this formation."

The words had barely left his mouth.

"Puff!"

Chengfeng, standing to the side, blushed and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Not only was he mentally exhausted, but lightning also erupted around him, threatening to blast Chengfeng into dust.

Xun Tiange saw this.

With a single palm strike, the lightning inside and outside Chengfeng's body was suppressed, stopping the riot.

After a while.

Chengfeng gathered his mind and drove away the thunder, but he was already charred black and exhausted.

"Chengfeng is too arrogant, I'm sorry to trouble you, Xun Zun." Chengfeng suppressed his injuries, his face showing both shock and shame. "This formation is dangerous, beyond Chengfeng ability to break. I'll leave now!"

As he spoke.

Chengfeng away, covering his face.

"I will not make a fool of myself any longer. I will go with Chengfeng Daoist Chengfeng."

Seeing Chengfeng leave, Liu Bi gave Xun Tiange a bitter smile, bowed, and also took his leave.

"This--"

After the two array masters left one after another, Xi Yunzi, Su Muzhe, and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

"It's a pity that the Celestial Star Sect is unwilling to get involved in this mess. If Grandmaster Muyang were here, with his mastery of formations, he would definitely be able to figure out the battle at End Mountain."

Granny Miaoyi sighed and shook her head.

It was easy for her, Xi Yunzi, Su Muzhe to borrow treasures from the Seven Absolutes Immortal Sect, the Six Dust Temple, and the Goddess Peak, but breaking the formation required the personal arrival of a Grandmaster of the Celestial Star Sect's formations, which was quite troublesome. Xun Tiange went to invite Grandmaster Muyang, but was refused. She then visited several other Grandmasters, but they all politely declined.

There was nothing we could do.

They could only casually invite two Rogue Cultivator array masters, and reluctantly came to End Mountain, only to find themselves in this awkward situation.

"It's alright."

"Since the Changqing Demon has retreated to the End Mountain and is not coming out, let's first wipe out his minions!"

Xun Tiange's eyes were cold and deep, completely unaffected.

He took the first step, the magic sword on his back fell into his hand, and with a swift strike, as if a divine punishment had swept across the heavens and earth, he slashed at Daoist Six-One.

"How bitter!"

Daoist Six-One cried out inwardly, yet the Gold Hoop on his head emitted a faint chill. Recalling the suffering in prison, Daoist Six-One trembled and dared not retreat even half a step.

With a heavy heart, he grabbed the "Six-One Soul-Gathering Banner," and a chilling wind swept through the howling ghosts as he rushed towards Xun Tiange.

Who is Xun Tiange?

The leader of Azurewood Valley is a top-tier figure throughout the entire Three Mountains and Nine Rivers region. His every move is like the collapse of the heavens. A single sword strike sends chills down one's spine.

Daoist Six-One stirred up a cold wind, within which evil spirits howled, clashing with Xun Tiange's magic sword.

The demons were numerous and malevolent, yet they died upon contact and were injured upon bumping into them, leaving the enemy utterly defenseless.

As Daoist Six-One's heart sank to the bottom, he secretly cried out in alarm—

Sizzle!

Within the End Mountain formation, lightning flashed and formed a net, enveloping Xun Tiange.

The sword's momentum was slightly blocked, and its power was greatly reduced.

"This formation is indeed powerful; no wonder the Changqing Demon fled to the East Sea."

Only after clashing head-on with the End Mountain Array did Xun Tiange realize the power of the 'Five-Prison Mystic Thunder Demon-Subduing Array'. He thought to himself, "Although my sword momentum is becoming increasingly fierce, it is ultimately still being restrained."

"Whoosh!"

Only then was Daoist Six-One able to hold off the attack.

They coordinated with the End Mountain Array and engaged in a fierce battle with Xun Tiange.

Even so.

Xun Tiange also held a huge advantage.

If this continues, they might be able to defeat Daoist Six-One before Yue Zhong defeats Compassionate Heart.

Xun Tiange made his move.

The remaining three— Granny Miaoyi, Xi Yunzi, Su Muzhe— no longer stood by and watched, and rushed out to fight.

Granny Miaoyi to Su He, whose "Soul-Severing Wondrous Melody".

Su He sat cross-legged in the void, playing her zither with one hand. Her silver hair danced in the air as celestial and demonic melodies assaulted Granny Miaoyi. Miao Granny Miaoyi stood in the air, like a towering Azurewood, unmoving as a mountain. In the void, leaves fluttered and branches danced, sometimes booming, sometimes entwining, as she battled Su He.

"What a troublesome Azurewood Great Technique!"

Su He frowned, finding herself at a disadvantage.

Xi Yunzi addressed the High Person Golden Light.

High Person Golden Light Hand Seals with one hand while wielding a handful of 'Earth-Lung Venomfire Divine Sand' in the other. Xi Yunzi, holding his magic sword, was wary of the divine sand and dared not advance rashly.

Even so, High Person Golden Light was still completely suppressed.

Su Muzhe faced Zhou Yang, the "Body-Tempered Diamond".

Zhou Yang activated his profound technique, and Golden Light emanated from his body.

Ding ding ding!

Su Muzhe's Sword Qi and Technique Method bombarded Zhou Yang, and the sound of metal clashing against metal rang out. Although Zhou Yang was being hammered and sent flying, the Golden Light on his body did not dissipate, and he was still able to hold on.

Only.

They were also at a significant disadvantage.

In the battle of the ten primordial Primordial Spirit, End Mountain suffered a complete defeat.

If this continues, it won't be long before one of the five Primordial Spirit from Azurewood Valley, including Xun Tiange, is able to defeat their opponent first, thus securing victory. This will allow the four disciples to defeat the other four Primordial Spirit from End Mountain, leading to a complete victory.

The situation is very bad for End Mountain.

However, inside End Mountain, Lu Qingfeng, wielding the 'Five-Prison Mystic Thunder Demon-Subduing Array,' remained calm. Even as the battle raged outside End Mountain, his eyes suddenly brightened.

The East Sea End Mountain.

A great war broke out.

Meanwhile, in Yellow Maple Valley, between Yellow Maple Gorge Valley and Falling Eagle Pool, a figure silently bypassed the mountain-guarding formation of Azurewood Valley and easily entered the mountain gate of Azurewood Valley.

"Azurewood Valley".

Lu Qingfeng stepped inside, a smile on his face.

The protective array enveloping Azurewood Valley is actually quite powerful. Even before it is fully activated, it has the ability to provide early warning, so Primordial Spirit cultivator who sneaks in will be detected immediately. Ordinary cultivators who enter will not even need the array to be activated; they will fall into a trap and trigger the array's power, immediately becoming disoriented and overwhelmed by the wind, fire, and thunder, leaving them with no power to resist.

However, Lu Qingfeng's mastery of formations is extremely high.

Within the Immortal Qin Realm, even entering and leaving the West Sea is effortless. The small Azurewood Valley is even less of a concern.

Enter Azurewood Valley.

Lu Qingfeng found a spot to sit cross-legged and gazed at the surrounding mountains and rivers.

Within and beyond the various mountain peaks, formations, some visible and some hidden, could be seen. Formations were also buried within the streams and rivers. These mountain formations were independent yet interconnected, and three or five mountain peaks and three or five rivers joined together to form an even more mysterious and powerful formation.

Take a closer look.

Only then did they realize that the vast Yellow Maple Gorge was filled with countless small formations, one after another, large formations nested within smaller ones. Even if a master of formations entered, he could only decipher three or five formations, let alone hundreds or thousands.

Such a complex and mysterious formation, if entered rashly without proper methods, would be like getting tangled up in a mess.

It's truly a tangled mess that's impossible to unravel.

This grand mountain gate formation was built and continuously improved by generations of Primordial Spirit cultivators and formation masters in Azurewood Valley. It took hundreds of thousands of years of accumulation, optimization, and refinement to finally achieve its current form.

It can be described as a top-tier formation in the world, enough to ensure that no villains could enter Azurewood Valley when it was prosperous, and that it would not fear powerful enemies attacking the mountain when it was in decline. It is the foundation for the continuous inheritance of Azurewood Valley.

Pity.

Lu Qingfeng's mastery of formations is unfathomable, and he also possesses the "Cloud-Peak Step," which allows him to traverse the Nine Netherworlds and tread the Nine Heavens, drifting aimlessly between heaven and earth. Combined with the Grand Luo Insight, it is likely that no formation in the mortal world can stop Lu Qingfeng.

The journey in and out is like a smooth road.

Lu Qingfeng withdrew his gaze from all directions, his True Essence surged, and Hand Seals, causing five streams of black energy to fall around him—the Five Ghosts.

"Evacuate Azurewood Valley!"

A single thought arises.

The five ghosts became excited, transformed into human form, bowed to Lu Qingfeng, and then turned into black smoke and fell into all directions.

After Lu Qingfeng mastered the 'Great Five Ghosts Transportation Method,' he mostly used it to move himself for travel. This time, Azurewood Valley's deliberate provocation was the perfect opportunity for the 'Great Five Ghosts Transportation Method' to truly demonstrate its power.

The five ghosts were fast and silent, and the formations set up inside and outside Azurewood Valley were completely unable to stop them.

The five ghosts sneaked in, following the Unseen energy, and quickly arrived at a majestic and imposing mountain peak. The mountain was shrouded in formations, and disciples were constantly entering and exiting, each with a joyful expression.

Lu Qingfeng looked up through the Five Ghosts.

On the mountain peak, there were dozens of rather imposing buildings, with inscriptions such as "Sutra Repository", "Repository of Techniques", "Spirit Vault", and "Hundred Weapons Pavilion".

This is the location of the Azurewood Valley treasure trove.

The Yellow Maple Gorge was arrayed with multiple formations. Lu Qingfeng opened his eyes and scanned the area with his Grand Luo Insight. He immediately saw that these multiple formations were subtly integrated, forming two distinct array points: Yin and Yang.

One of the key points of the formation is this mountain peak.

"Duh!"

Lu Qingfeng did not hesitate.

The five ghosts transformed into smoke, disappearing imperceptibly into the Treasure Peak through the cracks in the mountain and the gaps in the formation. On the Azurewood Treasure Peak, the Sutra Repository, the Repository of Techniques, and the Hundred Weapons Pavilion are all facades; in reality, there are relatively few treasures inside.

The Spirit Stone, Spirit Pearl, Law Artifact, spirit medicine, minerals, elixirs, and various techniques accumulated in Azurewood Valley over countless years are not in these halls and pavilions, but are all inside the mountain.

The mountain's interior was hollowed out, and a large array was laid to expand the space and isolate entry and exit from the outside.

The array is complex, with both large and small formations interconnected, forming the entire protective array of Azurewood Valley. Entering silently is impossible. Forcing entry would require first breaching the mountain gate array.

Even if the formation is broken, there is still at least one Primordial Spirit cultivator guarding the treasure vault.

Such a time.

Xun Tiange and the others were all in the East Sea, but Kuang Tianqi was left behind to guard the Azurewood Treasury and take charge of the mountain gate's grand formation. Although his cultivation was not high, only at the Spirit Transformation Realm, once the grand formation was activated, even Integration Realm expert would be defeated and forced to flee, or even perish there.

This will ensure the absolute safety of Azurewood Valley and Azurewood Treasury Vault.

Only.

I never imagined I would encounter someone like Lu Qingfeng in this world.

"The Five Ghosts can take people's valuables without opening doors or breaking boxes. How can a mere formation stop them!"

Lu Qingfeng's lips curled up slightly.

It has a formation that can ward off the five demons.

But it also depends on the situation.

The Azurewood Valley formation is clearly still lacking in refinement.
