Great Battle One

Chen Mobai activated his Void Glimpse Spiritual Eye and looked around.

They saw that a total of twenty flying boats had been dispatched from the Mountain Shaking Peak. On the eight leading flying boats stood cultivators dressed in uniform Golden Robe, who were the cultivators from Mountain Shaking Peak itself.

On the remaining twelve flying boats, some cultivators were disciplined and obeyed orders, while others were scattered and disorganized, likely belonging to the Cultivating Family and recruited rogue Rogue Cultivator within the Yan Kingdom.

In a great battle among cultivators, especially among the top sects of the Eastern Wasteland like the Divine Wood Sect and the Mountain Shaking Peak, all available manpower would naturally be mobilized.

For example, Chu Zuoshu mobilized the four major Cultivating Family in the Lei Kingdom, and within a short period of time, he managed to gather a force of four to five hundred people.

On the other side, Yan Kingdom is the headquarters of the Mountain Shaking Peak, which has been operating for hundreds of years and is already an impenetrable force.

Even without Ji Zhenshi's presence, he still quickly gathered the Cultivating Family and major Great Sect near the border, along with hired Rogue Cultivator, totaling over a thousand cultivators who marched towards Rolling Thunder Mountain in Dang Dang.

This time, Ji Dingjin didn't waste any words.

Each of the twenty flying boats was adorned with a battle flag, forming a massive Battle Formation that resembled a continuous, dark cloud, pressing down with overwhelming force.

"Gentlemen, our Divine Wood Sect army is already at the border between Yun Country and Lei Kingdom. If we hold out for another three days, we will be able to provide support here."

"If we win this battle, I can grant each of your Four Great Families a quota to purchase a Foundation Establishment. Whenever you need one, my Divine Wood Sect will supply it."

"If any of you four perish as a result, I guarantee in the name of the Divine Wood Sect that we will compensate your family with a Foundation Establishment Pill and protect them after they take it."

"Also, tell the cultivators below that they can receive corresponding rewards such as Spirit Stone stones and pills for beheading enemy cultivators. Our Divine Wood Sect will bear these expenses."

With a major battle looming, Chu Zuoshu made a promise to the Four Great Families of the Lei Kingdom who were around him.

The four men, Lian Chenghai and his companions, who were initially somewhat reluctant, suddenly brightened up upon hearing this and expressed their determination to do their utmost to uphold the glory of the Divine Wood Sect.

It should be noted that although the Divine Wood Sect refines a batch of Foundation Establishment every ten years, it is not enough to supply its own disciples, and they basically do not leak them out.

These Cultivating Family, if they want Foundation Establishment, either need to exchange them for rare treasures like Millennium Herb, or they have to compete with huge sums of Spirit Stone at various auctions.

Alternatively, they could send their own disciples with outstanding Spiritual Root to the Divine Wood Sect, where they could become true disciples according to the sect's rules and obtain Foundation Establishment.

For example, Lian Maozhi, who stood out in last year's Sect Grand Competition.

They are the grandnephews of Lian Chenghai.

Those from the Cultivating Family with outstanding Spiritual Root naturally cultivate faster than ordinary disciples when they enter the sect.

Because they not only have no shortage of resources, but they also stood out after competing within their families.

However, this would mean sending the most elite bloodline of the Cultivating Family into the sect, which would only make the sect stronger in the long run.

After all, cultivators value themselves more. Even if a cultivator from a family has successfully Foundation Establishment, they will generally not return to their family under the great tree of the Divine Wood Sect and will remain confined to a corner of the world.

Because the Cultivating Family in the Eastern Wasteland are at most at the Foundation Establishment stage.

However, within the Divine Wood Sect, there is a possibility of Core Formation.

Even knowing this, the major Cultivating Family are still willing to send their outstanding disciples to their respective Great Sect.

Besides the fact that they lack a stable way to obtain Foundation Establishment, it is also because if someone successfully Foundation Establishment within a sect, it would be a tremendous boon for the family.

Perhaps they can learn from Ji Zhenshi and use the power of their family and clan to annex the entire sect.

Moreover, this will not hinder the future of talented individuals within the family.

For major Cultivating Family, Foundation Establishment are rare treasures that are hard to come by.

Many family members who Qi Cultivation Perfection can only forcibly Foundation Establishment before reaching the Sixty-Year Limit, without taking Foundation Establishment.

Over the centuries, only a handful of people have succeeded; most have turned into a pool of flesh and bones in their Cave Mansion, a testament to the blood and tears of the Cultivating Family.

Now that Chu Zuoshu made such a promise, not only did the Foundation Establishment Cultivator like Lian Chenghai gasp for breath, but even the family cultivators who were originally reluctant to come to Rolling Thunder Mountain to participate in the great battle began to feel excited.

Although it's not certain that this Foundation Establishment Pill will fall into his lap, what if it does? Seeing everyone's fighting spirit rising, Chen Mobai gave Yue Zutao a thumbs up.

In the past few days, the two of them led four or five hundred cultivators on Rolling Thunder Mountain to practice Battle Formation, but found that most of them were not very enthusiastic. Upon closer inspection, they naturally discovered the reason.

Chen Mobai thought about it and felt that these people needed some rewards to motivate them.

However, he had little experience with this and could only ask Yue Zutao for advice.

Yue Zutao, however, was very familiar with the Cultivating Family and even the Rogue Cultivator in the Eastern Wasteland. The family cultivators valued Foundation Establishment, while the Rogue Cultivator wanted Spirit Stone and pills.

The two told Chu Zuoshu about this, and the latter naturally listened to their advice. He clapped his hands and told them to be in charge of discussing what level of cultivators to kill, how many Spirit Stone to reward them with, and what kind of pills to give.

As for the Foundation Establishment Pill, he would personally discuss it with the Four Great Families of the Lei Kingdom, since Chu Zuoshu, as the Reward Hall Master, represented the Divine Wood Sect here.

As expected, the Rogue Cultivator hired from below changed their somewhat lazy attitude instantly after learning about this.

With morale high, the Third Grade Grand Array of Rolling Thunder Mountain unleashed unprecedented power.

A giant golden sword, over ten meters tall, materialized in mid-air, carrying a terrifying spiritual pressure capable of cleaving the heavens and splitting the earth, and swung heavily towards the Yellow Cloud Battle Formation formed by twenty flying boats Mountain Shaking Peak.

Under the blinding burst of spiritual light, clusters of yellow clouds began to disperse, yet they also resembled an endless Yunhai, constantly forming again.

The Wutu Golden Saber cleaved through eight yellow clouds in succession before finally exhausting its spiritual power and dissipating into the air.

In the blink of an eye, Fu Huakun, who was controlling the Formation Disk, directed twenty Qi Refining holding array flags to frantically draw Earth Vein Spiritual Energy, and two giant golden swords immediately appeared and condensed in mid-air.

But at that moment, beams of earthy yellow light shone from the twenty flying boats, transforming into huge rolling boulders that crashed down towards the sky above Rolling Thunder Mountain.

Amidst the deafening clanging sounds.

The two newly formed Wutu Golden Saber managed to shatter six giant rocks, but their spiritual power was exhausted, and they vanished into thin air.

Fu Huakun's expression remained unchanged, but the hand seals controlling the Formation Disk changed accordingly. In an instant, a fist-sized piece of Raw Spirit Stone beside him was completely extracted by the Formation Disk. Then, the Array Formation evolved, and a layer of gray light shield appeared, enveloping the entire Rolling Thunder Mountain.

This is the defensive change of the Wutu Golden Saber Formation: Wutu Shield!

Boom! Huge rocks, each ten meters in diameter, fell and crashed onto the Wutu Shield, producing a series of loud, muffled sounds.

The entire Rolling Thunder Mountain even began to tremble, and some timid cultivators turned pale, thinking that the Grand Array was about to be broken.

However, after this round of twenty boulders, two more rounds of twenty flying boats came to Mountain Shaking Peak.

When the Wutu Shield was in its final stage, it finally couldn't withstand the pressure and was smashed open by a boulder. Chu Zuoshu, who was on the mountaintop, immediately led two Foundation Chu Zuoshu Foundation Establishment Cultivator to attack at the same time and blocked the boulder.

But then two more boulders smashed through the protective shield and fell down. Without any hesitation, Chen Mobai and the other Foundation Establishment Cultivator used all sorts of Talisman and magical Magic Artifact to protect the Qi Cultivation Cultivator from being wiped out by this large-scale destructive spell.

Fortunately, after three rounds, it finally came to a stop.

After being bombarded by dozens of huge rolling stones, the Wutu Shield twisted and changed, and cracked in several places, but it still managed to maintain its complete shape.

"Quickly change the person in charge of the Array Formation and bring over the reserve Spirit Stone."

After a tentative exchange, Fu Huakun's face turned pale, and two of the four cultivators holding array flags beside him were bleeding from all seven orifices and had fainted.

Needless to say, the other Formation Master scattered throughout Rolling Thunder Mountain were probably also exhausted of their spiritual energy Spiritual Sense.

However, Lian Chenghai was prepared in advance, immediately directed another group of cultivators who were skilled in Array Formation to take over the formation flags of the Wutu Golden Saber Formation. At the same time, the light of the Mountain Shaking Peak Flying Boat in the sky began to dim.

After three rounds of this attack method, the flying boat Magic Artifact has basically reached its limit.

However, at least three openings were blasted open in the Wutu Shield, allowing cultivators from the Mountain Shaking Peak to enter Rolling Thunder Mountain.

"Kill!"

In the sky, Ji Dingjin was already clad in full armor. His deep gaze met Chu Zuoshu's on the mountaintop through the opening of the Wutu Shield. He raised his right hand and coldly uttered a single word.

In an instant, twenty flying boats landed on Rolling Thunder Mountain, and all twelve hundred Qi Cultivation Cultivator descended towards the opening of the Wutu Shield.

"Kill!"

At the same time, Chu Zuoshu on the mountaintop also uttered this word. Then he adjusted the jade crown on his head, and a clear spiritual light surrounded a bluish-gray tree seed that flew out and instantly transformed into a lush and verdant Azure Sun Spirit Tree.

He flew through the air, standing beneath the spirit tree, and single-handedly blocked an opening in the Wutu Shield.

The dozen or so Qi Cultivation Cultivator were unlucky enough to fall here were instantly impaled by the light spikes formed by the Heavenly Wood Spiritual Light, their blood splattering across half of the mountain.

The general will naturally be dealt with by the general himself.

Without any hesitation, Ji Dingjin charged straight at Chu Zuoshu. He swung his right fist, and a terrifying fist force tore through the air, causing the already cracked Wutu Shield to widen even further.

However, Chu Zuoshu's spiritual power surged, and the leaves of the Azure Sun Spirit Tree beside him became even more lush, firmly protecting this gap.

As Ji Dingjin's Mountain Shaking Fist landed, a Spirit Leaf the Azure Sun Spirit Tree stretched out to block it shattered, but then two, three, and an entire branch of Spirit Leaf out, transforming into six layers of defense.

Boom! But under Ji Dingjin's full-force punch, the entire branch was broken and sent flying. Chu Zuoshu crown trembled slightly, and some of his hair came loose.

"As expected of an old man who cultivates physical strength, he's almost two hundred years old, yet his fists are still so powerful."

After sensing it for a moment, Chu Zuoshu shook his head slightly, then adjusted the jade crown on his head.

Another clear, spiritual light emerged, this time surrounding a golden tree seed.

The Heavenly Wood Talisman was activated, and a Golden Sun Spirit Tree with only branches and a few leaves rose from the ground, standing on either side of the previous Azure Sun Spirit Tree, to the left and right of Chu Zuoshu.

Upon seeing the Golden Sun Spirit Tree, Ji Dingjin's expression became slightly solemn.

After the Divine Wood Sect's Domain Expansion, it used the principle of using softness to overcome hardness, which was most effective against body cultivators like him.

If it weren't for the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Array's powerful attacks, Chu Zuoshu, would probably have had to fight half his life to win.

But on the battlefield, no matter how difficult it was, Ji Dingjin, as the commander of the Mountain Shaking Peak side, still had to set an example for all the cultivators of the Yan Kingdom who followed.

He took a deep breath, and suddenly his whole body swelled up.

The vigorous and boundless Qi and Blood caused the leaves of the Azure Sun Spirit Tree to the left of Chu Zuoshu to turn somewhat yellow.

Seeing that the two commanders had entered their peak state of giving their all from the very beginning, Chen Mobai immediately joined forces with Yue Zutao to meet the Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Yan Kingdom who had broken through the gap in the Wutu Shield.

This time, the Mountain Shaking Peak mobilized all the families and sects along the border of the Yan Kingdom, and together with their own sect, a total of twenty Foundation Establishment Cultivator came.

Chen Mobai's cultivation level was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment. As soon as he flew up, a Sword Light slashed over, seemingly trying to pick on the weakest link.

Meanwhile, two Foundation Establishment Cultivator surrounded Yue Zutao's group. Surprisingly, they were acquaintances: Gong Wanshan and Zheng Wulü, who had defected from the Lei Kingdom.

Among them, Gong Wanshan was at the peak of the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment and was known as the number one Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Lei Kingdom. His cultivation was even higher than Yue Zutao's.

However, in a one-on-one situation, Yue Zutao was not very afraid. Because his cultivation was locked, he had enough time to hone the various spells of the Longevity Sutra Scripture to perfection. In addition, after the Second Grade Azure Sun Tree Seed was unleashed, there might be someone in the same realm who could defeat him, but absolutely no one could kill him.

However, things changed when Zheng Wulü was added. This person was actually Sword Cultivator, and he also had a Second Grade high-quality flying sword. After the Azure Sun Spirit Tree was deployed, it became a target instead.

After exchanging only a few blows, Yue Zutao had to take out a blue flag Magic Artifact, which conjured a stream that flowed around him. Only with the power of this Magic Artifact could he barely withstand Zheng Wulü's flying sword strikes.

But at this moment, Gong Wanshan took out a dark blue Talisman from his storage bag. He even bit his tongue and used his own Essence Blood to activate it.

A terrifying, pitch-black Mysterious Light emanated from the Talisman, and a sense of threat that made Yue Zutao's mind tremble surged into his Sea of Consciousness.

His expression changed slightly, and he took out his trump card, a Third Grade attack Talisman. But just as he was about to activate it, Zheng Wulü desperately controlled his flying sword to stop him.

[Damn it, hopefully the Ancestor's Spirit Leaf Talisman can block this attack.]

Yue Zutao flicked the Third Grade Spirit Leaf Talisman he had exchanged at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion out of his sleeve.

Defensive talismans are usually set to activate automatically when attacked. He now only hopes that when Old Ancestor Zhou refined this Spirit Leaf Talisman, he put his heart into it and that its defensive power is greater.

At that moment, a dazzling purple Sword Light appeared not far away.

As the Sword Light streaked across the sky like a meteor, the head of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Mountain Shaking Peak, dressed in a golden robe, flew up.
