This so-called sect-protecting formation was actually much more powerful than Ling Yi and the others had imagined.
The so-called "Sect Protection Formation" sounds impressive, but in reality, it's nothing more than a fog formation that disorients anyone who steps into it.
In addition, there are some traps set within the formation. If someone who doesn't know the situation goes in, they will quickly become confused. If they then step into a trap, they will likely be killed instantly.
Ling Yi carried out large-scale Transport, quickly moving the dense fog away, and the Vast Righteousness Sect was revealed to everyone.
The area of the Vast Righteousness Sect is larger than imagined.
It occupies a total of six hilltops and two valleys.
"This sixth peak, also called Hidden Dragon Peak, is the residence of outer disciples and newly Entry disciples!"
In front of the massive jade gate, Jiang Xiaohui, the young man who was one of the three unlucky guys, introduced himself to Ling Yi.
Jiang Xiaohui has good aptitude; at less than thirty years old, he has already reached the fourth level of the Spirit Absorption Realm, which is already considered a cultivation genius.
However, this cultivation genius is now bruised and battered, hunched over, and has a fawning expression.
He was no longer the arrogant person he used to be.
The other two old men were Lin San, who was at the sixth level of the Spirit Absorption Realm, and Nanchuan, who was at the seventh level of the Spirit Absorption Realm.
They are all elders of the Vast Righteousness Sect.
Moreover, they are the second and third elders, who are ranked relatively high.
Because they had lost their Spiritual Power, the two looked much older than before. They were originally sixty years old, but now they looked like they were seventy or eighty.
The wrinkles on my face have also increased significantly.
However, their actual age was over 120 years old. Without the support of Spiritual Power, they would probably die in a short while.
These three are still somewhat useful; they can't die yet.
"Is the vigilance of your Vast Righteousness Sect so poor? We've already reached the mountain gate, and not a single person has appeared to stop us?" Yan Wuqie said.
"This..." Jiang Xiaohui didn't know how to explain.
However, the Second Elder Lin San, coughed and said, " The Vast Righteousness Sect has not experienced war for thousands of years, and its vigilance has long since been worn away by time."
"Originally, this mist array was connected to the six peak array eyes, but over the years, the Spirit Stone in the array eyes have probably been exhausted and haven't been replenished for a long time."
"Without the Spirit Stone at the core of the formation, the power of this mist formation is reduced to less than one-tenth, and it has also lost its warning effect."
"This mist array is officially called the Six Baleful Energies Heart-Illusion Mist Formation. If all six array eyes are activated, the power of this Formation will be unshakeable even by the Elixir God Realm."
Yan Wuqie chuckled, "Heh heh, these Spirit Stone meant to replenish the array's core have probably already been embezzled!"
Lin San coughed twice, didn't hide anything, and nodded, saying, "That's true."
Lin San was one of the people who embezzled the Spirit Stone at the core of the formation.
It wasn't just the Second Elder Lin San who was corrupt; the Third Elder Nanchuan was also involved in embezzlement.
"It seems corruption exists everywhere!" Ling Yi shook his head and said.
This situation was quite different from what he had imagined a cultivation sect to be like.
Who would have thought that a sect elder would embezzle the Spirit Stone that form the core of the sect's protective array?
This is simply playing with the lives of everyone in the entire sect!
If someone were to invade the Vast Righteousness Sect at this time, the enemy would probably have already stormed the mountain gates, and no one would even know.
Wait a minute? Aren't they really standing in front of the Vast Righteousness Sect's mountain gate?
So, we're the intruders? Hmm, calling us intruders doesn't seem so wrong.
"Climb the mountain!" Ling Yi waved his hand, leading everyone across the white jade gate and officially entering the Vast Righteousness Sect.
"Hey, where's the tour guide? Keep the introduction going!" Ling Yi said to Jiang Xiaohui.
Although he didn't know what a tour guide was, Jiang Xiaohui understood Ling Yi's meaning.
He smiled obsequiously and said, "Further ahead is the fifth peak, also called Ascending Dragon Peak. Ascending Dragon Peak is where the inner disciples reside..."
Ling Yi didn't use any Transport skills; he simply Teleportation them across the peak.
It actually feels more like a group tour.
With Jiang Xiaohui's introduction, everyone gained a better understanding of the Vast Righteousness Sect.
Ling Yi now has an idea: this place is good, why not occupy it and use it as the headquarters of the Heaven-Exploding Sect?
There are six peaks and two valleys. The six peaks are Hidden Dragon Peak, Ascending Dragon Peak, Cloud Dragon Peak, Dragon-Subduing Peak, Heavenly Dragon Peak and Holy Dragon Peak.
Cloud Dragon Peak belongs to Elder Peak, where the sect's elders all reside.
There is a Soul Lamp Hall on Dragon-Subduing Peak, which is where the soul lamps of the sect's disciples are stored.
Every member of the Vast Righteousness Sect has a corresponding soul lamp. Once the soul lamp goes out, it means that the person has met with misfortune.
Heavenly Dragon Peak is the place where the sect's treasures and cultivation techniques are stored. It is shrouded in Formation, and only the sect leader knows how to enter.
Ascending Dragon Peak is the residence of the Vast Righteousness Sect leader and his true disciples.
The two valleys are Medicine Valley and Ten Thousand Beasts Valley.
Medicine Valley is where spiritual herbs and plants are cultivated, Ten Thousand Beasts Valley is where Spirit Beast are tamed.
Medicine Valley is in the east, Ten Thousand Beasts Valley is in the west.
"So, apart from the sect leader, everyone in the sect, including you elders, only Entry the basic Qi Absorption Art?" Yan Wuqie asked Lin San.
"Yes, only the Qi Absorption Art and some basic Sword Control control methods are available. The complete and advanced versions of these techniques can only be practiced by the sect leader."
"Your sect leader isn't very capable!" Ling Yi said.
Jiang Xiaohui and the other two nodded, clearly dissatisfied with the sect leader's actions.
"Shortsighted!" Yan Wuqie and Taunt.
By this time, Ling Yi and his group had already reached the sixth peak.
Ironically, the outer disciples of the Vast Righteousness Sect on the Sixth Peak merely glanced at them curiously a few times before ignoring them completely.
Clearly, they didn't take Ling Yi and his group seriously at all.
"It seems that the Vast Righteousness Sect has been at peace for far too long, and they don't even have the slightest sense of vigilance." Yan Wuqie shook his head.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a series of urgent bell tolls came from the direction of Holy Dragon Peak.
"This is an alarm bell; it hasn't rung for thousands of years in the Vast Righteousness Sect," said the Second Elder Lin San.
As the warning bell rang, countless tiny dots flew out from the other five peaks.
These people were disciples from various peaks Sword Control Flight.
These people first converged towards the main peak, Holy Dragon Peak, and then flew together from the direction of Holy Dragon Peak, quickly landing in front of Ling Yi and his group.
Judging by the numbers, there were at least several thousand people.
Yan Wuqie at Ling Yi, as if to say, "What are we going to do? With so many people, can you handle them?"
Jiang Xiaohui and the other two also looked completely at a loss.
But they've already come this far; they've been beaten, they've handed over their cultivation techniques, and they've completely betrayed the Vast Righteousness Sect.
Furthermore, since they are counting on Ling Yi to help them regain their strength, they now have no choice but to go down this dark path.
They now hope that Ling Yi can crush the Vast Righteousness Sect.
"Sect Master, that is the Sect Master of the Vast Righteousness Sect, Nalan Haoran!" Jiang Xiaohui said, pointing to a white-haired, white-robed, and slender woman at the head of the group.
"Your sect leader is a woman?" Ling Yi, somewhat surprised.
"Yes!" Jiang Xiaohui nodded.
Ling Yi smiled slightly, Ying Yi, appeared directly in front of Nalan Haoran.
"Who are you? Which sect do you come from? Why are you causing trouble for my Vast Righteousness Sect?"
Nalan Haoran began with three questions.
"I am the sect leader of the Heaven-Exploding Sect, Wuming. As for my purpose in coming here, it is either to subdue the Vast Righteousness Sect Vast Righteousness Sect or to destroy it."
"You bastard!"
"Arrogant!"
"You're courting death, Sect Master! Kill them!"
"Coming here to cause trouble for the Vast Righteousness Sect is simply courting death!"
"Destroying the protective array of my Vast Righteousness Sect is tantamount to declaring war; we will fight to the death!"
Before Nalan Haoran could even speak, the others started arguing.
Ling Yi made a grabbing motion in the Void and directly Spiritual Power Transport of the few unlucky guys who were jumping the most excitedly.
A large mass of Spiritual Power instantly gathered in Ling Yi's hand.
Ling Yi flicked his wrist, and the large mass of Spiritual Power split into 57 parts, each merging into the body of the person behind him.
This naturally includes Jiang Xiaohui and the other two.
Those members of the Vast Righteousness Sect whose Spiritual Power had been Transport immediately screamed in terror.
"My cultivation is gone!"
"What kind of tactic is this?"
"Someone is actually practicing evil arts! Sect Master, kill this scoundrel at once!"
"Shut up, all of you!" Nalan Haoran roared, his powerful aura suddenly erupting.
She stared coldly at Ling Yi: "No matter who you are, you will die today!"
Nalan Haoran was furious.
But what truly angered her was not the invasion of these ants, but the fact that the mighty Vast Righteousness Sect's protective formation had not worked at all.
The core of the formation at the six peaks was completely devoid of Spiritual Power.
It's obvious without even thinking that the Spirit Stone in the array's core have been embezzled by the sect's elders.
Nalan Haoran was too lazy to waste words.
He formed hand seals, preparing to unleash a powerful attack.
"You'd better have it. If you make a move, the Vast Righteousness Sect will be destroyed today!" Ling Yi warned again.
Since they were all already cultivators, Ling Yi wanted to recruit them for his own use.
This is much simpler than training Hou Liang and Gao Ping.
Unfortunately, Ling Yi overlooked the arrogance of these cultivators.
They were used to being high and mighty, so why would they care about Ling Yi's threats?
"Die!" Nalan Haoran didn't want to waste any more words. All she wanted to do now was quickly deal with these ants and then settle accounts with the elders.
Daodao translucent Flying Sword, condensed from Spiritual Power, appeared above Nalan Haoran's head.
It has a bit of the feel of the Ten Thousand Swords Art.
However, the number of these Flying Sword was less than Ten Thousand Swords, let alone ten thousand.
Ling Yi stood with his hands behind his back, watching the Flying Sword hurtling towards him, and immediately activated his Hold Position" skill.
"What the hell?! You're not even going to dodge?" Yan Wuqie shocked. What kind of stunt was this?
He didn't believe Ling Yi couldn't avoid it.
You should know that Ling Yi can " Teleportation ".
The next moment, a semi-transparent Shield appeared around Ling Yi.
The Flying Sword struck the Shield, causing only minor ripples, and nothing more.
Nalan Haoran frowned slightly. His Sword Control Art couldn't even break through this person's defenses?
How is that possible?
Although she couldn't sense any Spiritual Power from Ling Yi, she figured his strength couldn't be that great.
But now it seems that this person has at least the strength of the Spirit Elixir Realm.
"I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to have the cultivation of the Spirit Elixir Realm!"
Ling Yi rolled his eyes. "What are you talking to yourself about?"
Nalan Yanran changed her hand seals, clasped her hands together, and the semi-transparent Flying Sword that had been blasted away by Ling Yi's Shield returned to the top of her head.
Subsequently, the hundred swords Unification, forming a Greatsword tens of meters long, as solid as a physical object.
Ling Yi nodded. That was a good move. Whether it was strong or not was another matter, but it was definitely cool.
"Go!" Nalan Haoran shouted softly.
The Greatsword hurtled straight at Ling Yi.
Unfortunately, Nalan Haoran will never understand what a conceptual skill is, or what it means to be a cheater.
The Greatsword struck the Energy Shield, but only caused slight ripples.
Ling Yi shook his head. "You were given the opportunity, why didn't you seize it!"
