"Trying to protect yourself from me?"
Chen Shuangbai was taken aback at first, but then her expression returned to calm.
That's true.
Unless it's a fifth-order grand formation or a peak fourth-order grand formation, no matter how many come, it's all just a matter of Chen Shuangbai's Sword Intent.
This doesn't waste much time.
However, he didn't mean to underestimate the Arrayed Mystery Sect.
On the contrary, there is some anticipation.
They were eagerly anticipating the methods that Arrayed Mystery Sect would employ next, hoping to pique the interest of this Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal...
Several days later.
Chen Shuangbai's army of cultivators, after breaking through numerous feigned resistance Arrayed Mystery Sect along the way, finally approached one of the three formidable passes built by the entire sect and the Zheng Kingdom —a tightly fortified defensive Arrayed Mystery Sect.
Divine Register City.
Chen Shuangbai looked ahead.
Then, a continuous mountain range rose up from the flat ground. The highest peak of the mountain range had been carved out into a huge flat area, on which palaces, towers, fortresses, and city walls were built. Array patterns spread out like a spider web throughout the mountain range.
The array patterns were densely interwoven, shimmering with a pale golden light, enveloping the entire city in a deep blue spiritual light.
In many places, Chen Shuangbai clearly sensed an extremely strong spiritual energy.
This is enough to prove that this is an extremely magnificent pass!
This is both a city and a fortress.
Chen Shuangbai stood on the deck of the flying boat, while Shenyang stood beside him, looking down and making sounds of admiration.
"Putting everything else aside, this pass alone probably takes more than many medium-sized sects could build over several generations... No wonder it's a well-known sect in the North!"
Feiguang stood at a higher position, his pair of Glazed Glass demonic eyes gleaming with coldness as he looked around.
A moment later, he landed and bowed, saying, "My lord... this grand formation alone is probably at least a mid-grade fourth-tier standard!"
Chen Shuangbai nodded slightly, without saying anything more.
As the Vast Waves Alliance's airship army gradually approached, the Orthodox Mystery Alliance cultivators within Divine Register City also began to mobilize.
Amidst the sounds of horns and war drums, streaks of light leaped between the numerous fortresses and palaces in the mountain range.
The spiritual light that was originally just maintaining its daily operation began to unleash stronger spiritual energy fluctuations after obtaining enough Spirit Stone, causing the majestic city to exude an even heavier and more terrifying aura.
Qu Heng flew from the foremost flying boat to the deck and said, "Sword Immortal, guarding this Divine Register City are Jixuan and Purple Thunder, two Nascent Soul from the Arrayed Mystery Sect. Besides them, there is also a Buddhist cultivator who looks somewhat unfamiliar."
Explanation?
Chen Shuangbai raised an eyebrow, but quickly understood.
"They're mostly remnants of that Compassionate Chan Way, not worth mentioning."
That's rather arrogant.
But when it comes from Chen Shuangbai's mouth... it feels rather natural.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Above the Divine Register City, a purple-gold light floated, and out emerged a handsome young man Ziyi purple robes riding a black tiger, with a hint of arrogance between his brows.
Jixuan.
Jixuan stood in mid-air, with a purple-gold light and a black flame surging behind him.
True Lord Purple Thunder and Shijia walked out.
Even from a hundred feet away, Chen Shuangbai could still feel the complex gaze of this newly promoted Nascent Soul from the Arrayed Mystery Sect.
Back then, the two were at the same level.
Looking at it now... although they have all become Nascent Soul.
But whether we look at their Divine Ability or their reputations, they are worlds apart.
Jixuan advanced to the Nascent Soul at less than four hundred years old, and was also a direct descendant of the Arrayed Mystery Sect.
They would be top-tier talents no matter where they are placed.
But then they encountered Chen Shuangbai, a prodigy who advanced to the Nascent Soul at just over a hundred years old.
Jixuan was undoubtedly proud.
Even someone as proud as him had to admit that he was indeed inferior to the Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal before him.
"Fellow Daoist Jixuan, how have you been?"
Chen Shuangbai took a step forward and landed at the very front of the army.
Shenyang and Feiguang landed behind Chen Shuangbai, one on the left and one on the right.
The three stood in mid-air, each with a rich, colorful aura of Divine Ability power emanating from their bodies. Judging from their posture, they were in no way inferior to the formation of this magnificent city.
Jixuan nodded slightly, the complex emotions in his eyes gradually disappearing, replaced by coldness, and said:
"I am unworthy of being called a fellow Daoist of the Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal!"
Chen Shuangbai wasn't annoyed, but simply chuckled softly, "What kind of plan is this, fellow Daoist?"
"Do you believe this Divine Register City can withstand the massive army behind Xuhong, or do you think the three of you alone can..."
The swordsman paused before continuing, "Could it stop Xuhong?"
"You!"
Even though they knew they were no match for Chen Shuangbai, such a blatant insult was undoubtedly a slap in the face to them in front of all the disciples.
It was the kind of sex, like, "Sex."
Jixuan raised his hand, stopping his senior master's anger, and said coldly, "Right and wrong, merit and demerit, will be judged by future generations."
"Besides, Chen Shuangbai, do you really think your family has my sect cornered?"
"Oh?"
Shenyang picked up the conversation, let out a soft "Eh?", and then said sarcastically, "What? Do you have some hidden treasure that you haven't brought out yet?"
Upon hearing this, Jixuan did not reply, but only coldly stared at Chen Shuangbai and the other two.
Buzzing.
The earth trembled.
Then, the mountain peak at the very center of the Divine Register City began to tremble violently.
Under the watchful eyes of Chen Shuangbai and the others, the majestic city, along with the mountain peak beneath it, was actually split open from the middle, with rubble falling and dust billowing everywhere.
But amidst the smoke and dust, a magnificent, dark yellow light shot into the sky, bathing the entire Divine Register City in a thick, earthy yellow halo.
A wild, ancient aura, like that of a mountain, emanated from the crack.
at the same time.
At the same time, in the other three places of the Zheng Kingdom, three identical beams of dark yellow light, radiating the same power and artistic conception, shot into the sky.
The four elements share a common source of energy, so even though they are far apart, they can resonate with each other.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Waves of dark yellow energy spread throughout the remaining territory of the Orthodox Mystery Alliance, causing the defensive capabilities of the Divine Register City before them to rise sharply... and faintly, it seemed as if streaks of earth-yellow dragon patterns were flickering within it.
Chen Shuangbai activated her divine eye, looking at the soaring, majestic, dark yellow light, and finally saw it clearly—
That's a cauldron!
A precious cauldron radiating a rich, dark yellow light emerged from within it, and the soaring, dark yellow radiance rose into the sky from this cauldron.
Both armies were stunned by the sudden commotion and didn't know what to do for a moment.
"So... this is the final ceremonial procession of your Arrayed Mystery Sect?"
Jixuan's gaze hardened as he looked at the slight surprise on Chen Shuangbai. The frustration in his heart subsided somewhat, and he shouted:
"These four precious cauldrons, using the physical bodies and demonic souls of two Nascent Soul Late Stage Earth Hornless Dragon as spiritual resources, were finally completed after being refined by generations of predecessors of my Arrayed Mystery Sect, consuming countless spiritual resources!"
"It has been nurtured on the land of the Zheng Kingdom for over three hundred years!"
"Once activated, the power of earth element combines to form an indestructible barrier; even Nascent Soul Peak might not be able to break through it!"
" Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal!"
Let me see!
Jixuan's gaze was scorching, as if he wanted to burn Chen Shuangbai through.
"Let's see what skills you have... that you can break through my defenses!"
