Breaking the Formation in Style

Di Jun slowly descended with Taiyi beside the Three Pure Ones and the many great divine beings.

He greeted the Three Pure Ones and several innate divine beings.

However.

Aside from Red Cloud, who gave him a fairly friendly response, the other immortals and gods completely ignored him. Like the Three Pure Ones, they showed him no courtesy.

Di Jun could only feel helpless. He knew his earlier move had been somewhat rash, lowering these immortals' and gods' impression of him.

Still.

Di Jun possessed the temperament of an emperor.

Even though the immortals and gods before him gave him no pleasant looks, he maintained his smile as always, appearing truly open and magnanimous.

"Taiyi, wait here with me and the fellow Daoists for the spiritual root to mature. Do not act rashly again next time."

Taiyi nodded and followed at Di Jun's side without looking around.

As expected of Heavenly Emperor Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi. They truly were the real protagonists of this Calamity, the ones destined to unite the Demon Clan.

Watching Di Jun and Taiyi's series of actions, Zhou Qingqing could not help sighing inwardly.

The Three Pure Ones were slightly taken aback.

Heavenly Emperor.

Eastern Emperor.

These were clearly supreme karmic positions, just like the leader of all male immortals and the leader of all female immortals.

They had not expected the two brothers before them to attain such positions as well.

And that protagonist.

It should have meant the protagonist of the Calamity.

The protagonists of the Dragon-Han Calamity should have been the three innate races: the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, and Qilin Clan.

Even the Three Pure Ones had never heard of the name Demon Clan.

Now that Zhou Qingqing had brought it up, the Three Pure Ones immediately became highly vigilant and began taking Di Jun and Taiyi seriously.

Since even Zhou Qingqing said these two would become protagonists, they would inevitably stir up boundless turmoil in this era. They might even become entangled with them.

Without Taiyi's Chaos Bell causing destruction, it seemed the Innate Gourd Vine would bear complete gourds.

Zhou Qingqing watched the changes in the formation before her.

Rays of light shifted one after another, revealing seven colors in the blink of an eye. She immediately knew that the Innate Gourd Vine had absorbed complete Wood Essence and fully ripened.

"Taiyi, this time, break the formation for our fellow Daoists. Consider it compensation for your earlier rudeness."

Di Jun spoke at the appropriate moment.

Naturally, none of the cultivators present objected.

Di Jun possessed the River Map and Luo Scroll, a top-tier Formation Dao Lingbao. He had likely long seen through how to break the formation, yet he still had Taiyi take action.

He clearly wanted Taiyi to break the formation through brute force again. He really was full of schemes.

Zhou Qingqing secretly teased Di Jun's actions.

Upper Pure Tongtian raised an eyebrow.

He had not known that Di Jun's River Map and Luo Scroll was also a Formation Dao Lingbao.

Hearing his disciple inwardly disparage Di Jun and Taiyi.

The curve of Tongtian's lips rose slightly, and he stepped forward.

"Fellow Daoist Taiyi, please wait. I have some knowledge of formations, so allow me to break this formation."

Oh, oh, oh, Third Master was going to make a move? That was wonderful.

Compared with watching Taiyi break the formation through brute force, Zhou Qingqing naturally wanted to see her own master break it.

Tongtian was also one of the foremost Formation Dao experts in the Primordial World.

Zhou Qingqing had received Tongtian's teachings, so she naturally wished to see how her master would break the formation. That would deepen her understanding of cultivation.

Golden light flickered deep within Di Jun's eyes.

He had not expected Upper Pure Tongtian, one of the Three Pure Ones, to voluntarily step forward to break this formation.

With this, Taiyi was given no opportunity at all.

Naturally, he could still refuse the request.

But he had just asked Taiyi to apologize to all the immortals and gods. If he still insisted on acting now, that would be utterly ungrateful.

At once.

He could only call Taiyi back.

Seeing Taiyi stop his attempt to break the formation, Tongtian slowly stepped forward.

He had actually long seen through the mysteries of the formation before him. Originally, he had intended to destroy it completely with a single strike.

But.

After hearing Zhou Qingqing's inner voice.

Tongtian naturally would not do something so lacking in elegance.

Mana surged from his fingertips, transforming into countless streams of sword qi that surrounded the entire formation in an instant.

The previously hidden formation was completely revealed beneath the sword qi. As the sword qi flowed, it traced the formation's operational paths.

Sensing Tongtian's sword qi before her, Zhou Qingqing immediately memorized every trajectory of the formation diagram with her divine sense, then followed the sword qi as it circulated.

Sure enough, she discovered that the point where the sword tips converged was the location of the formation eye.

Third Master really knew his stuff. Now even I can see the formation eye. 666.

Hearing Zhou Qingqing's inner voice.

Only then did Tongtian completely unleash his sword qi.

Then all the sword qi instantly struck through the formation eye, easily destroying the formation.

As expected of Third Master. Although he also broke the formation through force, it had a special kind of beauty to it. He found the formation's weakest point and used the least amount of force to break it.

He was far better than Taiyi.

Supreme Pure Laozi and Jade Pure Yuanshi secretly shook their heads.

They had every reason to suspect that their third brother had gone through all this trouble merely to earn praise from his disciple and show off.

And now, he had actually pulled it off.

As the formation shattered with a thunderous crash.

The spiritual root within finally revealed its true form.

There really were seven gourds. Since Taiyi had not destroyed the formation at the very beginning, all the gourds had matured.

Zhou Qingqing cried out inwardly, immediately seeing that there were exactly seven gourds growing on the Gourd Vine.

"Hehe, this Purple-White Gourd is fated with me, so I shall take it first."

Di Jun leaped forward and instantly took one of the gourds.

Tsk, tsk. The one Di Jun had taken should be the future Immortal-Slaying Gourd, right? He would refine it into the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger, and its power would be tremendous.

Red Cloud unhurriedly plucked the purple-red gourd.

"This Purple-Red Gourd is fated with me, so I shall take it now."

The Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd, Red Cloud Ancestor's signature Lingbao in the future. So this was what it looked like. I remember he refined boundless red sand into it, right?

"This Purple-Cyan Gourd is fated with me, so I shall take it."

Nuwa moved with graceful steps and took a gourd into her hand.

Eh, Nuwa's gourd. I remember she refined the Demon-Summoning Banner into it, turning it into a Demon Clan Lingbao.

This Lingbao cannot be allowed to fall into Nuwa's hands. Otherwise, she will still become connected to the Demon Clan.

Seeing Nuwa put away the cyan gourd, Zhou Qingqing finally remembered the name the gourd would later receive.

The Demon-Summoning Gourd.

This was the Demon Clan's supreme Lingbao in the future.
