Attack on the Return to Origin Temple Stronghold

Qingxu used the various swords and knives that each person carried to forge a simple mask for them.

Of course, this mask was branded with Tortoiseshell Spirit Rune.

After everyone received the masks, they discovered that in addition to concealing their faces, when they activated the runes on the masks with their spiritual power, they could no longer see each other's faces even with their Spiritual Sense.

This discovery excited everyone immensely.

After concealing their identities, do they still need to fear those from major sects?

For so many years, countless small sects have survived under the oppressive power of those large sects. Even when entering the Prodigy Battlefield, they have to give priority to those large sects.

Now we finally have an opportunity to take action against those major sects!

Zhang Yang looked at the high morale of the crowd and felt very satisfied.

The morale of the troops is high!

"Come on, I'll take you to pick up the others now."

Zhang Yang gave a shout, and five people who showed their faces led twenty-three mysterious masked figures toward the next stronghold.

When they arrived at the next stronghold, there were also quite a few people gathered there, but the number was slightly smaller, only fifteen.

Subsequently, Qingxu forged fifteen more masks, and fifteen people joined the team.

This time, the team had more than forty members.

At the third outpost, a small mishap occurred.

The seven Nascent Soul at that stronghold had no intention of joining Zhang Yang's team.

However, when Zhang Yang appeared with more than forty Nascent Soul, including more than thirty masked soldiers, the seven Nascent Soul were immediately tempted.

This time, the number of Nascent Soul in the team successfully increased to fifty.

Fifty Nascent Soul Cultivator —that's a formidable force on the Prodigy Battlefield.

Their numbers are slightly fewer than those of the major sects, and of course, their Law Treasure and other resources are far inferior.

Zhang Yang planted three seeds in the area near Return to Origin Temple.

All three seeds have now sprouted, which is an unexpected surprise for Zhang Yang.

In fact, with the power of the Qingxu Pagoda, he could completely destroy those major sect strongholds.

Especially after he reached the Nascent Soul Realm, Situ Mingyue, Qingxu, and Hu Dali all improved their strength, taking over a stronghold would be no problem at all.

However, if it's just the strength of the Azure Cloud Sect, then the Azure Cloud Sect would be facing nine major sects alone.

Now that so many people have gathered, shouldn't the other major sects consider how many people around them are actually colluding with the Azure Cloud Sect?

That's why Zhang Yang was able to get more people to join the team.

He wants to muddy the waters completely!

Looking at the forty-odd masked men before him, Zhang Yang slowly said, "Next, we're going to take action against the Stone Forest of Return to Origin Temple. This time, we're determined to conquer Stone Forest. Don't worry, we have more people joining us in other places; it's just that we only have a few around here. Once we reach other areas, our strength will be even greater."

More than forty Nascent Soul, wearing masks, nodded frantically, their eyes gleaming with excitement.

With such formidable strength, how could they not take down Return to Origin Temple?

Zhang Yang and his entourage headed straight for the Stone Forest of Return to Origin Temple.

At this moment, the core group of disciples from Return to Origin Temple in Stone Forest had already led their people to the Central Hall to compete for the Fortune.

Those who remained in Stone Forest, relying on their years of preparation, had no problem defending the area.

In reality, the main forces of all the major sects are concentrated in the Central Hall. Who would have thought that someone would be so audacious as to organize a group of smaller sects to attack the strongholds of the major sects?

These people will eventually leave the Prodigy Battlefield; aren't they afraid of getting themselves into trouble and causing the extinction of their sects?

No one expected that those small sects would have such audacity.

Therefore, the disciples of Return to Origin Temple who remained in Stone Forest were stunned when they saw a large number of Nascent Soul rushing in.

Immediately, the disciples who remained behind shouted, "Quickly, defend!"

The items left behind by each sect at their strongholds were meant to serve as a foundation for their next entry into the Prodigy Battlefield, and they were quite substantial.

Three Nascent Soul Peak, each wielding a Treasure Artifact Law Treasure that had reached the seventh rank, stood atop three enormous stone pillars.

The other thirty-odd disciples stood between the stone pillars, each holding a Law Artifact Law Treasure of magical quality.

Once these Law Treasure were activated, a massive defensive formation enveloped the stronghold in the center of the Stone Forest.

The three peak Nascent Soul from Return to Origin Temple clearly recognized Zhang Yang. One of Nascent Soul coldly looked at Zhang Yang and said, "Your Azure Cloud Sect has quite the audacity to offend Guiyuan Return to Origin Temple. You'll be in for a world of hurt after the Prodigy Battlefield is over!"

Zhang Yang laughed, "A bunch of idiots! It's not like you're not going to cause me any trouble!"

Another peak Nascent Soul from Return to Origin Temple sneered, "What you say is useless. With your group, you can't break through our defensive formation. Now you can get lost."

They could see clearly that less than a third of the people on the other side possessed Law Treasure.

As for the others, they were almost all "empty-handed," relying solely on their spiritual power.

For cultivators, Law Treasure are like the difference between a flintlock pistol and a submachine gun.

Using spiritual power to invoke the Laws of Heaven and Earth always involves a process, but Law Treasure can unleash tremendous power when infused with spiritual power, and powerful Law Treasure can amplify this process countless times.

With such strength, how could they possibly break through their defenses?

"Let me test just how powerful your formation is!"

Zhang Yang picked up the Qingxu Pagoda and poured a massive amount of spiritual energy into it.

After being modified, the Qingxu Pagoda up much faster than before, thanks to the infusion of Zhang Yang's enormous spiritual power.

More importantly, the Qingxu Pagoda is several times more powerful than before.

Zhang Yang did not fully display the power of the Qingxu Pagoda; he controlled its power at the Nascent Soul Peak Qingxu Pagoda.

However, as he continuously poured in his spiritual power, the Qingxu Pagoda was no longer what it used to be. Instead of having to replenish its power after each attack, it unleashed a continuous barrage of lightning strikes against Return to Origin Temple's defensive array.

"How is this possible? How could you possibly possess such a powerful Law Treasure?" Everyone from Return to Origin Temple was completely dumbfounded.

Shouldn't such Law Treasure be kept only by major sects?

Aside from their crafting skills, all the high-end materials were in the hands of these major sects. How exactly did the people of the Azure Cloud Sect manage to forge such a terrifying Law Treasure?

"Quickly, activate the great formation with all your might!" the leading Nascent Soul shouted. "His Law Treasure is powerful, but a Nascent Soul's spiritual power simply cannot sustain it for long."

The numerous Nascent Soul of Return to Origin Temple exerted every ounce of their strength to barely sustain the great formation.

They all knew that once they exhausted Zhang Yang's spiritual energy, they would be safe.

Zhang Yang's group of Nascent Soul were also somewhat worried.

Some of the Nascent Soul even had somewhat strange looks in their eyes.

Once Zhang Yang's spiritual energy is depleted, will they be able to activate this magical Law Treasure? And then, will they be able to...?

However, what happened next left everyone speechless.

Zhang Yang wielded the Qingxu Pagoda, which unleashed seventeen continuous lightning attacks at the peak of the Nascent Soul Peak stage, each striking the same spot on the Return to Origin Temple's grand formation. Although the formation hadn't broken, the violent shaking indicated immense pressure. Zhang Yang continued to silently activate the Qingxu Pagoda, relentlessly releasing lightning.

The key point is that Zhang Yang's body is still brimming with spiritual energy, showing no signs of running out.

This scene silenced many Nascent Soul around them, and also made many Nascent Soul in Return to Origin Temple's eyes widen in fury.

They really wanted to ask Zhang Yang, "Just how much spiritual power do you have, you bastard?"
