The power of one dojo was disrupted, and the twelve dojos were immediately connected.
As the light curtain opened, a vast aura soared into the sky, and twelve streams of energy surged forth, drawing the attention of the heroes in the Boundless Wilderness.
After several days, apart from the harassment of the ferocious beast tide, Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary once again activated the defensive formations of its twelve dojos.
However, the activation of this formation was not for defense against the attack of the ferocious beast tide. At least at this moment, there was no large-scale gathering of ferocious beasts Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary.
Meanwhile, inside a cave dwelling on the main branch, a tall, imposing cultivator sat cross-legged.
He was dressed in a long purple robe, with fine patterns engraved on the robe, and upon closer inspection, one could see that there were dragon-shaped patterns encircling it.
The wide sleeves spread out carelessly on the ground beside him, and a deep purple jade belt was tied around his waist.
He had a square face and a double chin, with a resolute expression between his brows, and a very conspicuous crimson turban tied on his head.
"If there's no beast tide attacking, then why is there something unusual about the Metal Moat and Boiling Rampart Formation protecting the dojo?"
The broad-shouldered young man asked a question with a puzzled look inside the cave.
His self-talk seemed to be pondering something, while his True Spirit had already broken through the many obstacles outside the cave and reached the outside of the Daoist temple.
His expression was calm, his eyes tightly closed. His True Spirit condensed into a stream, and the scene within a thousand miles was reflected in his mind.
The jade tablet in his hand kept flashing with an inexplicable light, and messages kept ringing in his ears. The purple-robed cultivator remained motionless in the cave.
"Since it's cultivators causing trouble, then show no mercy! Annihilate these rebellious individuals within the formation!"
A voice transmission was sent out from the jade tablet, and the purple-robed cultivator's words already carried a hint of coldness.
Since Master established himself in the Boundless Wilderness, countless sects and clans have come to test his strength.
At first, the various sects and clans could tolerate the Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary, but since their master fell into the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations, he has not shown his face for a long time.
Those who coveted the Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary could no longer suppress their ambitions.
When the ferocious beast tide struck a few days ago, the Metal Moat and Boiling Rampart Formation of the Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary had already been fully activated.
Not long after the beast tide receded, some cultivators dared to come and harass us, which was simply disrespectful to our master.
Since you dare to invade the temple, then be prepared to be annihilated by the defensive formation!
The purple-robed cultivator remained motionless in his cave, his eyes tightly closed. He instructed the cultivators on the perimeter to activate the formation and annihilate the intruder.
As orders were issued, the light on the jade tablet in their hands went out, and the guards on the outer perimeter knew what to do.
The cave suddenly fell silent, and the purple-robed cultivator had calmed his inner turmoil.
After giving the order, he seemed to have made no other preparations. Perhaps, subconsciously, no cultivator had ever been able to escape from a defensive formation.
However, just a few breaths later, the jade tablet, which had already gone out, suddenly lit up again, as the cultivators on the periphery sent another rapid telepathic message.
The purple-robed cultivator's contemplation was abruptly interrupted, and the composure between his brows suddenly turned into a hint of anger.
Before he could even ask a question, a message from the jade tablet rang in his ears, the words of which carried an uncontrollable shock.
"Reporting to Senior Brother, the cultivators who were harassing the defensive formation have retreated!"
"What!"
Upon hearing this, the purple-robed cultivator couldn't help but cry out in surprise inside the cave. As he cried out, his tightly closed eyes snapped open in an instant.
Whoosh!
A sudden gust of wind rang out within the cave, and the purple-robed cultivator's opening of his eyes caused turbulence in the airflow within the cave.
The sleeves of his robe, which had been casually spread out on the ground, suddenly billowed up, and the aura emanating from his body suddenly became sharp.
He hadn't even withdrawn his True Spirit yet, and in just a few breaths, the situation outside the dojo had already changed drastically.
Who could it be? Could it be another Golden Immortal True Lord who has come in person?
Impossible! They're supposed to be in charge of the sect; why would they risk their lives?
It couldn't be the Beast King, so who could have escaped from within the defensive formation?
It should be noted that this formation is known as the " Metal Moat and Boiling Rampart," personally set up by the Master when he established his Daoist temple, established himself in Cangmang, and stayed in Pinglu.
As a disciple of a master of formations, the purple-robed cultivator naturally knew the immense power of this formation, known as the Metal Moat and Boiling Rampart," when activated.
Having withstood numerous attacks from ferocious beast tides unscathed, this spiritual vein formation has become the belief of all cultivators within the Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary, an unyielding Divine Province in the Boundless Wilderness.
But even with such power to resist the tide of ferocious beasts, it allowed a mere cultivator to escape, which shocked the purple-robed cultivator.
The purple-robed cultivator lingered in the cave for a long time, his open eyes flashing with various emotions.
Then, as if thinking of something, the billowing sleeves eventually returned to calm.
After giving a few more instructions to the jade tablet in his hand, the purple-robed cultivator returned to his cave.
A look of seriousness flashed in his eyes, which opened and closed, and the chaotic airflow in the cave was instantly calmed.
When Xu Long was testing the formation outside the dojo, the cultivators stationed inside knew that someone was harassing the dojo.
As Xu Long's will penetrated the Metal Moat and Boiling Rampart, all twelve dojos began to operate simultaneously.
The defensive formation within has been fully activated. Originally intended to defend against the beast tide, the Metal Moat and Boiling Rampart Formation is now meant to absorb Xu Long into it.
When the will probed inside, the Power of Oblivion was already scattered one by one, and every step forward required a greater price to pay.
Seeing the light screen appear inside the dojo, Xu Long knew he couldn't linger there for long.
If the power of these twelve dojos were fully unleashed, it would inevitably ensnare one's will.
Once inside, this massive defensive formation will become a killing field.
Xu Long felt a chill run down his spine as he watched the light screen slowly unfold, sensing a dangerous aura rising within him.
The defensive formation of the Metal Moat and Boiling Rampart was instantly transformed into a place of confinement.
With twelve spiritual veins supplying energy, the outer protective barrier of the dojo has been fully formed.
At this moment, all the cultivators outside were shocked. Upon seeing this commotion, their faces showed a sense of urgency.
"Could it be that a horde of ferocious beasts is approaching?"
Why is the Metal Moat and Boiling Rampart) ground training ground of the Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary open wide?
"With this formation wide open, could it be that the Beast King is attacking?"
The cultivators outside, holding their jade tokens, were originally filing into the dojo, but upon noticing something amiss with the dojo's defensive formation, they became increasingly anxious.
It should be noted that the Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary is located in the Boundless Wilderness, where ferocious beasts may knock on the door at any time. Now that the formation is fully activated, doesn't that mean that Beast King is about to arrive?
After the Metal Moat and Boiling Rampart Formation was fully activated, the atmosphere in the arena immediately became tense.
Cultivators are inherently wary of each other and each other, and at this moment, an even stronger sense of vigilance rises in their hearts.
However, before any chaos could erupt outside, the cultivators stationed inside quickly spoke up to calm things down.
"Fellow Daoists, do not panic. The formation being wide open is not due to the approach of ferocious beasts, but rather to cultivators disrupting and attacking it. You only need to present your jade tokens and enter the Daoist temple normally; the Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary will not obstruct you!"
The voices of the cultivators stationed inside the formation were already resounding. Although the defensive light barrier had become much more solid, the voices were still clearly audible when they came out from inside.
Upon hearing this, the cultivators outside relaxed slightly. They all breathed a sigh of relief when they realized that it wasn't a ferocious beast attacking.
However, when they learned that it was cultivators causing trouble, everyone's expressions changed to one of surprise.
Several cultivators in the crowd had their expressions freeze, their surprise barely concealed, and their sharp gazes swept around.
Beneath his arrogant demeanor lay formidable strength, causing the cultivators in the crowd to avoid his gaze.
Upon closer inspection, they found no flaws. A hint of doubt flashed in the eyes of the cultivators, but they then entered the dojo one after another, holding the jade tokens.
After this incident, all the cultivators outside remained silent, and under the Metal Moat and Boiling Rampart Formation, they dared not have any further thoughts of investigation.
Only a few people's eyes flashed with surprise as they carefully observed the formation within the Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary.
The will within the defensive formation dared not venture any deeper; Xu Long had already planned to retreat when the Metal Moat and Boiling Rampart was activated.
When the Heavenly Eye was activated, it was already visible that the rays within were densely packed, and these rays were inherently invisible.
Furthermore, its lightweight design makes it extremely effective against both physical and mental threats that intrude upon the dojo.
Feeling increasingly strained, Xu Long decisively stopped advancing and attempted to retreat quickly from the rear.
However, the Metal Moat and Boiling Rampart Formation had already been activated one after another, and after the Power of Oblivion burst forth in an instant, Xu Long found that his retreat had been cut off by the immense energy.
At this moment, his heart sank. Seeing that the cultivators ahead had already entered the training ground, he knew that if he hesitated when it was his turn, the guards would become suspicious.
A flurry of thoughts flashed through Xu Long's mind, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly: Perfected Lord Pinglu truly deserves to be called a master of formations. The Metal Moat and Boiling Rampart has stood firm in the Boundless Wilderness for many years, and it is by no means based on empty fame!
Anticipating an impending crisis, Xu Long's only thought at this moment was to free his will from it.
The energy surging within the Metal Moat and Boiling Rampart was boundless, and the incoming rays had blocked all of Xu Long's escape routes.
In the eyes of the garrisoned cultivators, the cultivators who disturbed the Daoist temple were already enemies, and activating the formation at this time was to completely annihilate them!
The will within, carrying the Power of Oblivion, retreated rapidly. Xu Long lowered his head, his left eye completely white.
When the Heavenly Eye is activated, although the secrets within the formation cannot be fully explored, it can still detect impending dangers in advance.
As the rays became increasingly dense, Xu Long's Magic Power output increased, and the Power of Oblivion's corrosive effect was extremely powerful, making him unstoppable within the formation.
When Xu Long retreated recklessly, his speed was even faster than before.
At this moment, the cultivators stationed in the twelve dojos were all focused on the cultivators on the periphery.
Each of them held a jade token in their hand, and when a message came from the token, a fierce glint flashed in the eyes of each cultivator.
When Xu Long withdrew his will, it attracted the attention of all the cultivators. The immense energy held his will firmly in place, and the rays within it began to strangle him layer by layer.
The Metal Moat and Boiling Rampart is not only a defensive formation; when enemies invade the dojo, the twelve formations connected together will also form a formidable offensive formation.
Seeing that the formation within was already complete, Xu Long then unleashed Celestial Phenomenon within his body. As his will broke free, there was an immense suction force.
The use of the Celestial Phenomenon indeed lightened his will, and the previously extremely strenuous feeling suddenly eased, bringing a slight sense of relief to Xu Long's heart.
As the Celestial Phenomenon forces exerted their suction power, Xu Long's will withdrew at an increasingly rapid pace.
The deep, enormous eye in the Celestial Phenomenon was like a bottomless abyss, devouring all the incoming energy.
Xu Long's will quickly retreated after the Celestial Phenomenon. When the power of this formation was revealed, his own Celestial Phenomenon could only withstand it for a moment and could not be used as a means of counterattack.
If this causes energy disorder within the temple, and alerts Perfected Lord Pinglu, Xu Long's will will have no chance of escaping.
The cultivators stationed inside the dojo were astonished to find that the energy that had surged earlier was being rapidly consumed within the formation.
The cultivators nestled among the mountains and valleys disregarded any potential consequences and focused solely on chanting the array incantation.
The flags buried deep in the ground pulsated incessantly, and the tassels fluttering in the air all headed in one direction.
The cultivators at the northern dojo exchanged glances, realizing that outsiders were indeed disrupting the dojo's defensive formation!
When the rays struck, they stirred up even more powerful energy underground, and the array of flags was connected to the underground spiritual veins.
The energy surging from the twelve spiritual veins was something Xu Long alone could not withstand; it was a formation that even the Beast King could not shake.
The Celestial Phenomenon was only held back for a moment before Xu Long withdrew it, and all the cultivators in front of Xu Long had already entered the Daoist temple.
I was only half a step away from that layer of light.
The jade tablet in his hand had been imbued with Magic Power, and a mysterious precious light emanated from it.
Xu Long felt the rays within the formation were reaching their peak density, and the Power of Oblivion within his body surged faster and faster.
There was even a slight rumbling sound outside the body. Xu Long, who had raised one foot and stepped into the void, paused slightly in front of the light screen with his head down.
"Who goes there? Raise your head!"
A loud shout suddenly exploded in my ears.
The cultivators in the dojo gathered their True Spirit and Magic Power power, sending them straight towards Xu Long, as if trying to see what was going on with the cultivator who paused before the light screen.
Upon hearing the sound, the faint rumbling within his body disappeared, and his will quickly withdrew from the Metal Moat and Boiling Rampart, gradually withdrawing the Celestial Phenomenon circulating within his body.
Xu Long, who had been bowing his head, slowly raised it in front of the light screen. The surging Magic Power within him had not yet completely subsided, but the deathly white color in his left eye had already faded.
" Yunmo, a cultivator from the Jade Screen Sect School, has arrived at the Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary!"
Regardless of whether the cultivators inside could hear him, Xu Long responded telepathically from outside.
With a flash of light, the jade tablet in Xu Long's hand lifted into the air and landed behind the light screen.
A strange energy completely enveloped Xu Long's body, and when he passed through the light barrier, the dense energy attack was completely blocked by this energy.
Upon entering the dojo, Xu Long felt several gazes directed at him simultaneously, their sharpness unmistakable. He raised his head high and met their gazes without fear.
As his aura emanated, Xu Long's imposing presence subtly began to rise, and all the gazes directed at him from the outside world were withdrawn.
The cultivators stationed inside the dojo focused their gazes, feeling a strong threat from Xu Long's aura.
They intended to make a mark, but at that moment, the jade tablet in their hands began to glow again.
