Expounding Sect's Response, Breaking the Grand Formation

"Interception Sect... actually sent out a disciple at the mid-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal realm?"

Within the Expounding Sect camp, Guang Chengzi saw Xuan Liu step forward and curled his lips into a cold smile.

Behind him, Chijingzi, Taiyi True Person, and the other Expounding Sect Golden Immortals all shook their heads, their eyes filled with indifference.

In their eyes, the Yin-Yang Two Forms Formation had been personally derived by their Grand Senior Uncle, Supreme Elder Laozi.

What sort of profound, peerless top-tier grand formation was that?

Jade Cauldron True Person had already attained the Daluo Golden Immortal realm and had painstakingly cultivated the Dao of formations on Kunlun Mountain for countless years before his master entrusted him with this important task.

Yet that Interception Sect disciple called Xuan Liu had merely just entered the mid-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

And he dared to volunteer himself, hoping to compete with Jade Cauldron True Person in comprehension?

"The Interception Sect truly has shallow fortune. They could not even choose a proper Daluo Golden Immortal and had to send a Taiyi Golden Immortal disciple to keep up appearances. They truly overestimate themselves!" Cihang Daoist swept his sleeve, his arrogance unmistakable.

Faced with the disdainful and mocking gazes around him, Xuan Liu remained composed. His long sleeves fluttered in the wind, and he paid them no mind at all.

On the path of cultivation, the advantage of words was the most useless thing.

Only genuine skill and supreme Dao arts were the most unshakable underlying logic in the Primordial World.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two sharp sounds of tearing air suddenly rang out.

Before the watching disciples of the three sects, Jade Cauldron True Person and Xuan Liu

entered the Yin-Yang Two Forms Formation almost one after the other.

The moment they entered the formation, time and space shifted, yin and yang reversed.

The vast and boundless ancestral veins of Kunlun Mountain outside vanished in an instant.

In their place was an endless, unfathomable Taiji Two Forms Space.

Two enormous black-and-white fish slowly revolved between heaven and earth.

Each movement carried the supreme Dao intent of reorganizing yin and yang and evolving the Four Images.

Life and death cycled endlessly, its profundity reaching the utmost extreme.

Jade Cauldron True Person gave a slight Daoist salute and spoke steadily. "I am Jade Cauldron. Greetings, Junior Brother."

Xuan Liu returned a Profound Sect salute as well and answered calmly, "Xuan Liu, the Interception Sect's fifth direct disciple, greets Senior Brother Jade Cauldron."

"Junior Brother, your bearing is extraordinary, but this formation was derived by Grand Senior Uncle from the Great Dao of yin and yang. It is no trifling matter. Be careful."

Jade Cauldron True Person offered this warning. Though little emotion could be heard in his voice,

the pride belonging to an Expounding Sect direct disciple still radiated invisibly from his very bones.

After speaking, Jade Cauldron True Person said no more. He gathered his thoughts and fixed his Dharma eyes firmly upon the nodes in the void.

Xuan Liu, standing on the other side, likewise closed his eyes and began studying the Yin-Yang Twofold Ritual Formation.

The Primordial World knew no years; time passed like a white colt racing through a crack.

Jade Cauldron True Person and Xuan Liu were trapped within the Taiji Two Forms Formation for who knew how long.

Perhaps ten thousand years, perhaps a hundred thousand.

A faint sheen of crystalline sweat had already appeared on Jade Cauldron True Person's forehead.

Relying on his incomparably solid comprehension of the Dao of formations and countless years of painstaking deductions,

he was still a long way from completely seeing through the formation eye and leaving the grand formation.

"Hah! Grand Senior Uncle's formation truly is exquisite beyond measure."

Jade Cauldron True Person let out a long breath. A trace of pride flashed through his heart as he said excitedly, "But soon!"

"Give me just several tens of thousands more years, and this formation will be broken."

He even glanced from the corner of his eye at Xuan Liu in the distance.

Seeing Xuan Liu still standing in place with his eyes closed, motionless,

he assumed that this Interception Sect junior brother had already completely lost himself in the maze of a Saint's principles and was helpless.

Yet just as Jade Cauldron True Person was about to withdraw his gaze and continue deducing the formation—

Buzz!!!

All of a sudden, Xuan Liu, who had remained motionless as a boulder, abruptly opened his deep, tightly shut eyes.

"Senior Brother Jade Cauldron, I yield." Xuan Liu spoke calmly, his voice extraordinarily ethereal.

Thanks to his Heaven-Defying Comprehension and Formation Mastery,

he had now found the formation eye of the Yin-Yang Two Forms Formation.

As long as he shattered the formation eye, the Interception Sect would win the first match.

"What?!" Jade Cauldron True Person's expression jolted. Before he could understand what Xuan Liu meant by those words,

could it be that this junior brother had already found the formation eye?

No.

That was impossible.

Among the three Profound Sect teachings, his Dao of formations was absolutely among the best.

Even he had not found the formation eye of the Yin-Yang Two Forms Formation. It was even more impossible for this junior brother to have found it.

"Ancient Immortal Heaven-Locking Chain, come forth!"

Xuan Liu gave a low shout, and the willow-leaf mark between his brows shone brilliantly like a canopy.

Light surged from his palm as a supreme indestructible chain, entirely emerald green

and wreathed in countless ancient immortal runes, instantly tore through layers of space and spiraled forth.

It was his innate supreme treasure, a high-grade innate spirit treasure possessing the supreme might to lock severed space and freeze karma.

Immediately afterward, Xuan Liu fiercely swept his right sleeve again, and a blaze of dazzling purple lightning erupted.

Rumble!!!

The tremendous roar shook the entire Two Forms Space.

An ancient divine hammer wreathed in endless purple lightning and radiating a tyrannical pressure capable of shaking past and future

appeared abruptly in Xuan Liu's right palm.

The Purple Lightning Hammer!

A supreme treasure personally bestowed by Tongtian Cult Master, ranked among high-grade innate spirit treasures!

Its power of slaughter was no weaker than that of certain supreme-grade innate spirit treasures.

"Break for me!"

A look of disdain for all the heavens flashed through Xuan Liu's eyes as his entire aura erupted without restraint.

There was no impatience in him, only clean and decisive movements.

He suddenly swung the Purple Lightning Hammer in his right hand. Endless violet lightning gathered into an enormous purple thunder dragon, carrying supreme might,

and smashed viciously toward the grand formation's deepest-hidden formation eye!

At the same time, the Ancient Immortal Heaven-Locking Chain in his left hand followed close behind.

The power of two high-grade innate spirit treasures was driven by Xuan Liu's mid-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal mana to an unprecedented extreme.

They transformed into a terrifying storm capable of overturning heaven and earth, incomparably powerful.

"This... this is impossible!!! He actually found the formation eye of the Yin-Yang Twofold Ritual Formation?!"

Jade Cauldron True Person, seated nearby with his eyes wide open, had his pupils contract violently as he cried out in horror.

The purple lightning dragon had already struck the Two Forms formation eye with unimaginable speed!

Rumble!!!

A tremendous roar thundered through the entire Two Forms Space.

Under Jade Cauldron True Person's disbelieving gaze,

the formation Supreme Elder Laozi had derived using the Great Dao of yin and yang

had its core formation eye shattered outright the instant it touched the Purple Lightning Hammer, turning into motes of dust that filled heaven and earth.

The grand formation broke, and heaven and earth appeared!
