Arc 42The Siege of Hell Mountain
Li Qing arranged an alliance with Sun Tzu and used the war between the Immortals, Ghost Path, and Wisdom Logic Anomalies to set his plans in motion. The Ten Halls Wheel-Turning Grand Formation fell, the Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Lord emerged, and both the Immortals and Anomalies moved to control the Nine Provinces Four Regions’ source power.
- The Patriarch of the Forty-Eight Thousand Side Sects suspected an ancient power had awakened and secretly ordered Devouring Spirit Patriarch to investigate, while Li Qing traveled unaware.
- Li Qing infiltrated Martial Reverence Palace, recorded the Military School’s teachings, discovered Sun Tzu’s history, and secured Sun Tzu’s alliance against the Immortals and Wisdom Logic Anomalies.
- Li Qing arranged for Sun Tzu to lure a Wisdom Logic Anomaly into the All Beings' Resentment Time-Space Destruction Grand Array, which Li Qing crafted with materials from the Demonic Path’s treasury.
- The Nether River Yama Son of Heaven met the five Wisdom Logic Anomalies, but Sun Tzu exposed their gathering and the Immortals attacked the Yama Son of Heaven while their armies fought the Ghost Path.
- The Nether River Yama Son of Heaven drained Ghost Path cultivators into the Stone Stele as a being from beyond began to descend, while Sun Tzu struck Void and lured him toward Li Qing’s trap.
- The Nether River Yama Son of Heaven summoned the Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Lord and reinforced his formation, while Li Qing reassured the Enemy of Heaven that the situation remained within the plan.
- Void followed Sun Tzu into the canyon and fell for his trick as the four Immortals shattered the formation, the Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Lord emerged, and six Immortals gathered at Hell Mountain.
- Sky Ghost ordered the Wisdom Logic Anomalies to destroy the Nine Provinces Four Regions and prevent the Immortals from summoning its full source power.
