Chapter 195: Hongshan Sword Formation
Liu Quan was very certain that the power of fate of the Fire Commanding Kite had been suppressed by the Supreme Order Cauldron, making it impossible for it to interfere with his deductions from a distance.
So, if there were still no results, what could be the reason?
Did they carry a powerful Spirit Law device that could obscure the heavenly mysteries?
Was the opponent a Dao Artifact wielder?
No matter what.
The fact that he could not find any traces was undeniable. Liu Quan spoke to apologize, “Master Ji, I cannot deduce any traces; please punish me.”
As soon as he spoke these words,
the expressions of everyone varied.
As for Liu Jianxin, this person of the same family name felt that disaster was looming.
The fact that Liu Quan could not find the reason indicated that the opponent had prepared meticulously, clearly aiming for the destruction of Baishi Town.
In other words, the Liu family was also within the scope of annihilation.
This did not mean he did not wish to surrender.
But the question was, would the Ji family allow it?
Born in Baishi Town and growing up in Baishi Town, they had always been shrouded in the rules of the Dao Artifact, leaving them with no room to resist.
With the Dao Artifact’s domain now fading, they could not directly intervene on a large scale to identify the insurgents.
But those insurgents were right before them; there was no need to seek vengeance. Those who dared to rebel would be the first to die.
Because of this, Baishi Town could barely be considered a community of interests; with a great enemy looming, nobody’s death would be a good thing.
Liu Jianxin was angry over Chao Shanhe’s death, not out of friendship.
(The best outcome would be for Ji Chongtian to die first, and the Dao Artifact to be destroyed; then we could escape!)
Liu Jianxin was already plotting a way out.
“Unable to deduce? Not surprising…”
However, Ji Chongtian showed no signs of concern.
“With such thorough preparation, this trial will not end easily.”
“However, those who act so cautiously probably lack true power and are relying on the advantage of their artifacts?”
“No matter what they rely on, launching an attack in my Ji family’s territory is underestimating the thousand-year foundation of my Ji family.”
Ji Chongtian’s expression was indifferent, and his killing intent radiated, clearly meant for the other law realms present.
Liu Quan, Liu Jianxin, and even Ji Qing all had their own thoughts.
Ji Chongtian had no time to notice each one.
He needed to strike with thunderous force and suppress this enemy!
“Master!”
“Triple Fusion of Gathering Star Fiery Might!”
The Three Major Techniques converged, with Spiritual Law as the main force, and Physical Law and Spirit Law as support. Ji Chongtian unleashed his strongest power to strike down, and in that brief moment, a powerful golden light burst forth, cutting through the area.
The Ji family’s strongest Spiritual Law aligned with the Metal Element greatly enhanced the Killing Formation’s power.
Even the Wind Walking Law with dual attributes appeared dim in the face of this immense power, amplified countless times by the Heavenly Path.
Unfortunately, this move had a poor outcome against the Fire Commanding Kite.
Even with the assistance of the Killing Formation, the Fire Commanding Kite could still resist with its flame divine power and was not instantly annihilated.
Its flame divine power was indeed extraordinary, geometrically enhancing its physical body and containing violent energy. Even with the convergence of the Three Major Techniques and the aid of the Killing Formation, it could at most be gravely injured.
But that degree of injury was too light; the power of the now-enhanced Fire Commanding Kite’s destined divine power had also increased significantly.
Originally, reversing Ji Chongtian’s power would have required sacrificing a tail feather, but now it was no longer necessary. It quickly recovered, effortlessly erasing any unfavorable outcomes.
“…”
This result left Ji Chongtian in silence.
The gathering of the Three Major Techniques was already his strongest power under normal circumstances; continuing to boost it would require sacrificing his lifespan and foundation.
Moreover, even if he did so, it would not necessarily result in annihilation.
He scanned the unyielding Fire Commanding Kite and raised his hand with a momentary hesitation.
But hesitation vanished in an instant; his instincts triumphed over doubt, and he decided to give the enemy no opportunity.
“Elders, awaken! Activate the Hongshan Sword Formation to help me eliminate the foes.”
As soon as he finished speaking, several powerful auras rose from the direction of Baishi Town.
Two strong law realm experts emerged, crossing over to stand beside Qi Lian on the city wall.
They appeared old and their eyes were cloudy; after greeting with cupped hands, a hollow voice rang out, “Activate the formation!”
Golden radiance soared into the sky!
They were the previous generation of the Ji family’s foundation, sealed away as they neared death and surviving until now.
This required sacrifice; Yun Ye had never considered such a situation.
After all, how could the previous generation of law realm experts hold power if they did not die?
These ancient beings, who had sought immortality throughout their lives, would allow the younger generation to call forth the winds and rains while they themselves grew old? Would they even sacrifice their lives for the survival of the family?
However, that was a fallacy.
Only by becoming a True Immortal could one achieve true immortality; law realms merely enjoyed a lifespan of four hundred years and faced a certain end.
To sever unlimited life for the sake of limited lifespan was a path taken only by hopeless cultivators.
As the ruling family, the Ji family had always pursued a clan rule of seeking immortality.
With this goal as their guiding principle, they promised that one person’s ascension would lead to the rise of everyone connected!
True immortality was the reason these ancient beings were willing to make sacrifices, believing that True Immortals could do anything, which made them willing to provide for the next generation—though only a few truly believed, it was enough to form the Ji family’s foundation.
“Disaster-Slaying Sword!”
The two law realm experts appeared very old, speaking slowly, but the speed at which golden light surged was anything but slow.
Countless golden rays shot up into the sky, condensing into towering sword energy above Hongshan, their presence intensely oppressive.
The sky darkened as the golden sword energy consumed all light.
“Fall!”
With the command, the sword energy tilted downwards. It seemed slow but pierced through a hundred thousand meters in an instant, directly striking the Fire Commanding Kite.
“Boom!”
Everything along the way turned to dust; even the fog Ji Chongtian had summoned was completely obliterated in that moment. The fog couldn’t even attempt to fill in as it was wiped away upon contact.
This strike was indeed extraordinarily powerful; even the Great Disaster was obliterated without resistance.
It was only because this Great Disaster targeted the Fire Commanding Kite that it cost the loss of a tail feather to revive.
For the many law realm experts in Baishi Town, this scene was extremely shocking, and Ji Chongtian felt the same.
The might of the sword formation exceeded all expectations!
“The foundation of the Ji family is truly remarkable.”
As the fog dissipated, Yun Ye caught sight of part of the situation and marveled at what he saw.
Is this the foundation of the Ji family?
Indeed, this forbidden formation was somewhat beyond his expectations; perhaps only celestial phenomena could rival it.
The foundation of a ruling family should not be underestimated.
Yun Ye had once summarized the components of a family’s foundation:
Knowledge, the various techniques and secrets recorded on the Heavenly Path.
Resources, abundant reserves of spirit pills, weapons, and talismans.
Bloodline, a powerful bloodline with stable inheritance and ascendance.
Environment, a Spirit Land rich in spirit energy.
These elements gave the Spiritual Law family an incomparable head start, rivaled only by stronger families.
Thus, the order had been maintained for countless years.
And this was just Yun Ye’s speculation; a family recognized as a Spiritual Law family could not merely be created in a single generation. Although there had been only three heads of the family over a thousand years, what about the clan members beneath them?
They naturally became the foundation of the Spiritual Law family, recording the Walking Law and offering their residual light.
The Hongshan Sword Formation was built on these elements.
Only the blood and bones of the same clan could barely merge to achieve greater efficiency of use.
If a cultivator with a Spiritual Eye could see the entirety of Hongshan, they would discover that the mountain was, in fact, alive.
Every spirit vein seemed to pulse.
This was not the pulsing of veins as described in spirit vein theory, but the pulsing of a human body, with blood flowing through it.
If the power of the Hongshan spirit veins was only 1, then with the addition of this flesh-and-blood network, the power of the Hongshan spirit veins would grow to 10 or even 20, forged by its blood and flesh!
