Pulse Breaking Bead
"You're asking for it!"
Ji Dingjin was a hot-tempered person when he was young, but he has become much more restrained in his later years. However, he could not tolerate Chu Zuoshu's repeated verbal provocations.
Sparks flew from the two iron balls in his right palm, and in an instant, a bolt of lightning flashed out and struck Chu Zuoshu on the head.
However, as the next Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect, Chu Zuoshu is also hailed as a cultivator with the potential to Core Formation.
He calmly reached out and touched the jade crown on his head. A clear, spiritual light shot out and transformed into a Green Leaf with distinct veins and a vibrant green color.
It is the signature "Spirit Leaf Technique" of the Divine Wood Sect.
The thunderbolt struck the leaf, causing only a ripple before vanishing without a trace.
"Snort!"
However, as the most senior Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Eastern Wasteland, Ji Dingjin has fought against cultivators from the Divine Wood Sect countless times, and he has long had a way to counter the Spirit Leaf Technique.
After letting out a cold snort, he threw out an iron gallstone, the sound like Wind and Thunder, sparks flying and lightning flashing all the way.
As expected.
As the iron dagger fell, the once clear Spirit Leaf began to blur, and finally vanished with a "bang".
Chu Zuoshu recognized that this was a Gold Attribute Magic Artifact with a metal element, which was incompatible with his own cultivation method. He frowned and took out a crimson Talisman to activate it.
In an instant, the flames transformed into Dragon Snake, but Ji Dingjin reached out and recalled his Iron Gallbladder, causing Chu Talisman to miss its Chu Zuoshu.
However, Chu Zuoshu was not one to suffer a loss. He directly rode the fiery Dragon Snake towards the cultivator on the Mountain Shaking Peak who was standing next to Ji Dingjin. The latter cursed angrily, but could only block the Talisman.
The Foundation Establishment Perfection realm is already False Core Realm. If Ji Dingjin doesn't make a move, even if the group around him can block him, they will still suffer severe damage.
"Your Magic Artifact is quite good. I originally thought you were just getting old and disheartened, so you started playing with this kind of thing. I didn't expect it to be something specifically designed to deal with me."
Chu Zuoshu glanced at the two iron balls in Ji Dingjin's hand, which were glowing red from being scorched by the fiery Dragon Snake, and stroked his mustache before smiling as he spoke.
"Stop flattering yourself. Looks like you're asking for a beating first."
Ji Dingjin also got angry at this moment. He put the two iron galls in his hand back into his storage bag, then put on a pair of black arm guards and gauntlets. His Qi and Blood and qi suddenly exploded, and his already tall body swelled up a size in an instant, like a giant.
"Set up the formation!"
Upon seeing this, Chu Zuoshu immediately shouted and took out an octagonal silver Formation Disk.
Chen Mobai and the other seven had been waiting for his words. In an instant, they raised their array flags and then, with a change of pace, set up the Eight Gate Green Light Formation they had been practicing for a long time around Chu Zuoshu.
The void began to shift, with clouds and mist emerging and expanding, transforming into eight portals, within which hundreds of beams of azure light flickered.
As Chu Zuoshu manipulated the Formation Disk in his hand, hundreds of beams of azure light, like flying swords, swept across the sky and rushed towards the cultivators on the opposite side of Mountain Shaking Peak.
Amidst the buzzing sound.
Having lost the initiative, Ji Dingjin roared angrily, took out a large brass shield as tall as a person, and placed it at the front. At the same time, he shouted to his fellow cultivators behind him, "Form an array!"
All of them were Battle Formation cultivators. When they saw the five Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Mountain Shaking Peak, plus Gong Wanshan and Zheng Wulü, along with Ji Dingjin who was holding the shield, there were also eight Foundation Establishment Cultivator had set up the "Thousand Cliffs and Ten Thousand Peaks Formation".
Under the guidance of the Array Formation and the control of the Foundation Establishment Cultivator's Spiritual Sense, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy and earth transformed into a huge, rolling phantom, like a meteorite, crashing towards the Cloud Mist Eight Gates opposite.
However, amidst the transformation of the eight gates, azure light, Sword One, continuously shot forth and sped. While resisting the impact of the rolling stones, Chu Zuoshu also controlled another cloud gate to open, sending azure light flying from the side towards the cultivators on the Mountain Shaking Peak.
However, the "Thousand Cliffs and Ten Thousand Peaks Formation" is also a combination of offense and defense.
The rolling Blinding Yellow Sand, and the blue light that entered it was immediately stagnated and dissolved by the Earth Spiritual Qi.
"Lian Chenghai, why aren't you making a move?"
Seeing that the two sides were locked in a stalemate in mid-air, Chu Zuoshu immediately shouted at Rolling Thunder Mountain.
This Spirit Stone Mine, with the combined power of the Divine Wood Sect and the six major Cultivating Family, has also set up a Third Grade Grand Array. Moreover, this Grand Array is different from the Eight Gate Green Light Formation; it has already connected with the Earth Vein Spiritual Energy, and its power far exceeds that of the Eight Gates Azure Light Formation.
As soon as Chu Zuoshu finished speaking, golden rays appeared on the mountain peaks below, condensing into a huge golden blade phantom in the sky above the mountain peaks. Just as it was about to slash down at the Blinding Yellow Sand outside the Thousand Cliffs and Ten Thousand Peaks Formation, Ji Dingjin actually led his men and ran away.
"Chu Zuoshu, you just wait."
After leaving behind a harsh remark, the group Mountain Shaking Peak like a yellow cloud, relentlessly pursued by the flying swords of the Eight Gate Green Light Formation, without looking back, heading towards the territory of the Yan Kingdom.
Chu Zuoshu led Chen Mobai and the others in a pursuit for a while, and only stopped when they were almost at the border of the Lei Kingdom, returning victorious.
"Hahaha, that old guy Ji Dingjin used to rely on his higher cultivation level to act arrogantly. Today, it's really satisfying to beat him into running away with his tail between his legs."
After returning to Rolling Thunder Mountain, Chu Zuoshu, who had been keeping a straight face, finally couldn't hold back anymore and burst into laughter.
His smile put the four Foundation Establishment of the Lei Kingdom, who had been worried, at ease.
At least, we don't have to worry about the Divine Wood Sect pursuing us anymore.
"The battle with the Mountain Shaking Peak is probably inevitable. This is also an opportunity for your Four Great Families to redeem yourselves. Don't say I didn't give you a chance."
After laughing, Chu Zuoshu began to reprimand the Cultivating Family of the Lei Kingdom.
"Yes, please rest assured, Hall Master Chu. As subordinates of the Divine Wood Sect, we have respected the sect's orders for decades and will never fear battle."
Lian Chenghai spoke on behalf of the Four Great Families.
"Okay, arrange some rooms for us. The four of you can come over later to discuss how to defend against the attack from the Mountain Shaking Peak."
Lian Chenghai naturally obeyed Chu Zuoshu's orders immediately.
Although the scenery of Rolling Thunder Mountain is not particularly beautiful, after the Spirit Stone Mine was discovered, the spiritual energy that had been accumulated underground for millions of years surged up and, within just a few years, formed a scale nearly Fourth Tier Spiritual Vein.
It should be noted that among the six major Cultivating Family in the entire Lei Kingdom, the highest-grade Spirit Land possessed by Spirit Vein is only Third Grade superior spiritual land.
It was precisely for this reason that after the discovery of the Spirit Stone Mine, the Foundation Establishment Cultivator of the Lei Kingdom all used the excuse of guarding the Spirit Stone to stay in Rolling Thunder Mountain for a long time.
These family patriarchs naturally each had their own residences, but now they have all been given to the people of the Divine Wood Sect.
Lian Chenghai offered his Cave Mansion first, and Chu Zuoshu ceremony.
However, the Divine Wood Sect sent eight people this time, and there weren't enough rooms.
However, the cultivators in the Sky River Realm were used to living a life of hardship and did not pay much attention to this. They would simply find a place with abundant spiritual energy, put down a futon, and meditate.
"Since the sect has set off from Jian Country to get here, it will definitely be later than the time when they directly mobilize troops in the Yan Kingdom from the Mountain Shaking Peak Han Shan. Therefore, before our Divine Wood Sect army arrives, we need to rely on the Array Formation and terrain advantage of Rolling Thunder Mountain to resist for a period of time."
After the initial victory, Chu Zuoshu, the commander-in-chief, calmly analyzed the situation.
In the room, besides the eight members of the Divine Wood Sect, there were also four Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Lei Kingdom.
"The Third Grade Array Formation of Rolling Thunder Mountain is the Wutu Golden Saber Formation. It was set up by your sect's Array Department. It has dual earth and metal attributes and is already connected to the Spirit Vein of this place. As long as Ji Zhenshi doesn't make a move, it should be able to hold them off for a while."
Lian Chenghai immediately presented a square Formation Disk, which was the core of the Rolling Thunder Mountain Array Formation.
Chu Zuoshu nodded, but instructed Fu Huakun beside him to accept it. He needed to control the Eight Gate Green Light Formation and might have to fight Ji Dingjin from time to time. Adding this Wutu Golden Saber Formation would be too much for him.
"We need to consider the possibility that there might be Pulse Breaking Bead on the Mountain Shaking Peak."
After receiving the Formation Disk of the Wutu Golden Saber Formation, Fu Huakun mentioned something.
The Pulse Breaking Bead is a magical Magic Artifact specifically used to destroy Spirit Vein in the Sky River Realm. It is formed from the Ancient Poisonous Filth Qi extracted from the earth veins. Once activated, it can quickly penetrate into the earth veins along the connection between the Array Formation and the earth veins, polluting and destroying the Spiritual Mechanism of the earth veins within a radius of a hundred miles.
"The Pulse Breaking Bead is extremely precious. When our Divine Wood Sect split from the Five Elements Sect, we only received three. I do not believe that there would be one on the Mountain Shaking Peak."
Chu Zuoshu shook his head, unsure whether it was genuine confidence or a way to give Lei Kingdom's four Foundation Establishment confidence.
However, upon hearing this, Lian Chenghai and the other three exchanged bewildered glances. They knew that the Mountain Protecting Great Formation that their families had spent over a hundred years setting up was even more outstanding than the Wutu Golden Saber Formation, and it was their greatest reliance.
But now that he heard that there were actually three Pulse Breaking Bead in the Divine Wood Sect, he immediately became a little uneasy.
It felt like my family was completely naked in front of the Divine Wood Sect, utterly exposed.
Immediately, the four of them became even more respectful.
"Each of your families must send one hundred Qi Cultivation Cultivator. I don't care whether you hire these cultivators from Rogue Cultivator or assign them to your vassal families. I want to see at least four hundred cultivators within three days."
Chu Zuoshu began assigning tasks. Upon hearing this, Lian Chenghai and the other three looked bitter, but they could only grit their teeth and agree.
It should be noted that although the Four Great Families are already the supreme rulers of the Lei Kingdom, the largest Lian Family, together with all its members, only has a little over two hundred cultivators.
The smallest Bao Family has only a little over a hundred cultivators.
Now, Chu Zuoshu has directly assigned one hundred Qi Cultivation Cultivator to each family, almost draining half of their manpower.
But being under someone else's roof, and remembering that the Divine Wood Sect also possessed the Pulse Breaking Bead, the four of them guaranteed that within three days, a Qi Refining Qi Cultivation Cultivator who would satisfy Chu Zuoshu would arrive at Rolling Thunder Mountain.
After all, Chu Zuoshu's words just now made it very clear.
They only care about the quantity, regardless of whether the person is from their family.
If we had known this would happen, the Gong Family and Zheng Family shouldn't have handed it over. Instead, it could have been distributed among each family, enough to cover nine people.
"Senior brother, how come I didn't know there were three Pulse -Pulse Breaking Bead in the sect?"
After Lian Chenghai and the other three left, Fu Huakun asked with some doubt.
"If I hadn't said that, why would those four have so easily agreed to send cultivators from the Lei Kingdom over?"
Chu Zuoshu speaks the truth when he's talking to his own people.
Everyone nodded in admiration.
"We still need to consider the possibility that there is Pulse Breaking Bead on the Mountain Shaking Peak. Before Ji Zhenshi Core Formation, he exchanged a lot of good things with Void Stone outside the Eastern Wasteland. Maybe there is one among them."
Even after understanding, Fu Huakun was still somewhat worried.
"The Spirit Vein of Rolling Thunder Mountain are nearly at the Fourth Grade, which means that Fourth Grade Pulse Breaking Bead is needed to completely destroy the Wutu Golden Saber Formation at the Mountain Shaking Peak. The Five Elements Sect only has two of those. I don't believe that Ji Zhenshi would waste resources to obtain such a thing."
Chu Zuoshu shook his head, but now that things had come to this, even if the other side really did have it, they could only let it be.
After all, once this thing is put into Array Formation, it will automatically damage and pollute the Spirit Vein, which is almost impossible to solve.
"Hall Master, we still need to consider this possibility. Once the Spirit Vein of Rolling Thunder Mountain are polluted, we can manually sever the connection between the Array Formation and the earth veins, and use Spirit Stone as the power source for the Array Formation. After all, Spirit Stone are the least lacking thing here."
At this moment, it was Yue Zutao, Chu Zuoshu's disciple, who stepped forward to offer some advice. The latter was very easy to persuade, and after thinking about it, he realized that Possessing the Dao. So he asked Fu Huakun to use the Formation Disk of the Wutu Golden Saber Formation to practice the plan of severing the connection of the earth veins.
"If we really run out of Spirit Stone and the Mountain Shaking Peak breaks through Rolling Thunder Mountain, we must also be prepared to retreat."
Yue Zutao continued, saying that his cultivation had been locked up for years, giving him ample time to devote himself to various miscellaneous studies. Moreover, he was originally groomed to be the next Hall Reward Hall Master, and his literary and martial talents were both top-notch.
"Yes, once those Qi Cultivation Cultivator arrive, we can practice Battle Formation. If things go wrong, we can also use these people as cannon fodder to cover our retreat."
Chu Zuoshu nodded, and then everyone discussed how to deal with various situations.
Chen Mobai listened from the side, feeling both curious and moved.
We are finally about to engage in a large-scale war with the cultivators of the Sky River Realm.
I wonder how many people will die this time.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
On Rolling Thunder Mountain, various simple camps have been set up, and more than four hundred cultivators have gathered together in a lively atmosphere. They have even set up a simple market.
Chen Mobai inquired and learned that there were less than a hundred cultivators from the Four Great Families here, most of whom were Rogue Cultivator or Guest Elder. However, as long as they went up Rolling Thunder Mountain, they could receive two Spirit Stone from the Four Great Families every day.
Those with high cultivation levels, such as those in the Late Qi Cultivation, or even more.
This scene reminded Chen Mobai of the time when the Demon Beast attacked the island in Cloud Dream Marsh, and he had also accepted the recruitment of the Divine Wood Sect.
I wonder how those two senior and junior disciples from a small sect in the team are doing now?
According to E Yun, Green Light Island has been rebuilt, but the person in charge is no longer Senior Brother Zheng Deming; the latter went to Wind Rain Dock with Old Ancestor Fu.
"They're here!"
That day, Chen Mobai was practicing Battle Formation with Yue Zutao when Chu Zuoshu suddenly flew into the air and shouted to everyone.
On the opposite side, within the territory of the Yan Kingdom, flying boats carrying hundreds of cultivators, like yellow clouds, were flying Dang Dang towards Rolling Thunder Mountain.
