Chapter 3797: Breaking Formation with Formation

In Bright Moon Market, the streets were bustling with a continuous flow of people, and the sounds of carts and horses filled the air.

In a secluded manor, adorned with lush vines, green bamboo, gardens, and pavilions, a handsome young man in a golden robe and a full-figured young woman in a purple dress were seated in a blue stone pavilion, enjoying tea and chatting.

"Old Ancestor Qilang has advanced to the Golden Immortal stage! That's wonderful!" the young woman in the purple dress said excitedly.

Jiang Ruolin, at the Middle Stage of True Immortal with four opened apertures, was a key cultivation target of the Bright Moon Alliance.

"Old Ancestor Qilang hasn't held his Golden Immortal ceremony yet. We need to prepare a substantial gift for the occasion," the young man in the golden robe said with a smile.

Qi Yuming, at the Late Stage of True Immortal with four opened apertures, was also a key cultivation target of the Bright Moon Alliance. He and Jiang Ruolin were dual cultivation partners.

The Qi family held considerable influence in the Bright Moon Alliance, and with Qi Qilang's advancement to the Golden Immortal stage, their power had grown even stronger.

As Qi Qilang had only recently advanced to the Golden Immortal stage, they wanted to acquire something valuable to present as a congratulatory gift.

Qi Yuming took out a golden, shimmering communication disk and sent in a magic incantation. A deep male voice then sounded, "Fellow Daoist Qi, are you interested in the immortal's cave where True Monarch Nine Spirits passed away?"

"True Monarch Nine Spirits' immortal's cave?"

Qi Yuming was initially stunned but quickly recovered, frowning as he asked, "Of course I'm interested, but why don't you just break the restrictions and claim the treasures yourself? Why tell me instead?"

"I originally intended to break the restrictions and claim the treasures myself," the man replied, "but something happened to my main body, and I've lost contact with it. So, I can only sell this information to you. If you're not interested, then forget it."

Qi Yuming and Jiang Ruolin exchanged a glance and nodded to each other.

"Come to my residence and explain everything to me in person," Qi Yuming said. "If it's true, and we obtain True Monarch Nine Spirits' legacy, I will reward you generously."

"Alright, I'll be right over," the man agreed.

"True Monarch Nine Spirits was a Golden Immortal cultivator," Jiang Ruolin said excitedly. "His immortal's cave must contain a mid-grade immortal artifact! Old Ancestor Qilang just advanced to the Golden Immortal stage; if we give him a mid-grade immortal artifact, he will surely reward us handsomely."

Qi Yuming nodded, took out his communication disk, and contacted his disciples, instructing them to bring the person in.

Not long after, a tall elder in a green robe walked in, followed by a refined young man in a blue shirt.

The elder in the green robe was Sun Sen, a clone of True Lord Feiyu, and he only had the cultivation of the Early True Immortal stage.

"Fellow Daoist Sun," Qi Yuming began, "please explain the full story of this matter. It's better for everyone this way." He then waved his hand, and the young man in the blue shirt discreetly withdrew.

Sun Sen recounted the entire story, not daring to conceal anything.

"Why didn't your main body send you to purchase the Immortal-Breaking Talismans instead of going personally?" Jiang Ruolin asked doubtfully.

Sun Sen replied truthfully, "He also needed to communicate with other True Immortal cultivators and exchange cultivation resources. He had opened three apertures, while I had only opened one. It would have been easy for accidents to happen if I had gone." Even True Lord Feiyu, with three opened apertures, couldn't escape that situation, so it would have been even more dangerous for me.

Qi Yuming pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's inform Martial Uncle Qin and ask him to take action." Who knows what cultivation stage the culprit is at? What if a Golden Immortal cultivator killed True Lord Feiyu? Or what if the other party has a Golden Immortal cultivator backing them? Even if that's not the case, it might be a trap designed to lure and kill me. The main issue was the tight schedule; he didn't have much time to investigate thoroughly. Rushing there without knowing might lead to an accident. It was better to inform a Golden Immortal cultivator; though the potential profit might be smaller, it offered greater stability. Qi Qilang had only recently advanced to the Golden Immortal stage and was not yet a match for other Golden Immortal cultivators.

Sun Sen naturally had no objection; going to the Soul-Falling Sea Domain himself would be suicidal.

Qi Yuming took out a golden communication disk and sent in a magic incantation. A majestic male voice rang out, "What is it, Nephew Qi?"

"Martial Uncle Qin, your disciple has discovered what appears to be True Monarch Nine Spirits' immortal's cave, located in the Soul-Falling Sea Domain," Qi Yuming said.

"Come to my residence immediately and report to me in person," the man's voice grew heavier.

"Yes, Martial Uncle Qin," Qi Yuming agreed, and the three of them then left the manor.

The Soul-Falling Sea Domain is perpetually shrouded in a blanket of black mist. From time to time, soul-shattering winds sweep through, specifically harming the divine soul. There are also naturally formed spatial restrictions. Even Golden Immortal cultivators who tried to explore the Soul-Falling Sea Domain suffered minor setbacks, and few True Immortal cultivators who entered survived. This had earned the Soul-Falling Sea Domain its notorious reputation.

Deep within the Soul-Falling Sea Domain, a green flying boat flew over a desolate island, carrying Wang Changsheng and his companions.

A fierce wind howled past, and black tornadoes swept in from all directions.

A shimmering blue orb floated above their heads, casting down a large expanse of blue light that covered Wang Changsheng and the others.

When the black tornadoes touched the blue light, they immediately veered away.

The blue orb was a low-grade immortal artifact, the Wind-Dispelling Pearl, which True Lord Feiyu had specifically purchased to counter the soul-falling hurricanes. The Wang family also possessed similar immortal artifacts.

The soul-shattering winds here were not very strong yet, so the Wind-Dispelling Pearl could still play a significant role. However, deeper into the Soul-Falling Sea Domain, the effect of low-grade immortal artifacts would not be as strong.

After a short while, the green flying boat stopped. Ahead lay an endless black sea, its waters churning violently, though nothing appeared out of the ordinary.

Wang Changsheng took out a blue-glowing formation plate and sent in a magic incantation. The scene before them changed, revealing a vast island. Vegetation on the island was sparse, and the ground was black.

Wang Changsheng made a hand seal, and the green flying boat accelerated, landing in a small valley surrounded by mountains on three sides. Inside the valley, many grayish-white stones were scattered, and the rock walls were uneven.

Wang Yang opened his mouth and spewed out a stream of golden flames, which landed on a rock wall.

A flash of spiritual light, and a seven-colored light curtain appeared. On its surface was a lifelike mythical beast with a lion's head, deer antlers, a tiger's body, a snake's tail, and bird's wings.

The golden flames landed on the seven-colored light curtain, which emitted a puff of blue smoke. But soon, the mythical beast seemed to come alive, opened its mouth, and the golden flames disappeared into it.

"What kind of mythical beast is this!" Wang Yang frowned deeply.

Wang Changsheng threw a punch, and countless blue seawater surged forth, transforming into a giant blue fist that smashed towards the seven-colored light curtain.

The giant blue fist struck the seven-colored light curtain, which dented inward but quickly returned to normal.

Wang Changsheng frowned, keenly aware of the immense power behind his strike. No wonder True Lord Feiyu couldn't break the restriction. It seems they would have to wait for Wang Ruyan and the others to arrive.

They tried various methods, Wang Changsheng even used his Glazed Ice Flame, but still couldn't break the restriction. Wang Huanyu's spatial divine ability also proved ineffective.

A day later, Wang Ruyan, Bai Yuqi, and Wang Chan arrived.

"Why so late? Did you encounter any trouble on the way?" Wang Changsheng asked with a frown.

"Yuqi set up an enemy-trapping formation on the necessary path, which delayed us a bit," Wang Ruyan explained. "So, were you unable to break the restriction?"

"Yuqi, it's up to you," Wang Changsheng said. "Even working together, we couldn't break the formation." He then briefly described the situation with the restriction.

"Let's use a formation to break a formation," Bai Yuqi suggested. "That way it'll be easier." She took out formation flags and a formation plate, then directed Wang Chuanming and the others to set up the formation.

After setting up the formation, each of them held a red magic plate and sent in a magic incantation.

A large expanse of crimson flames surged from the ground, transforming the area for thousands of miles into a sea of fire. The crimson flames churned and surged, rushing directly towards the seven-colored light curtain.
