Chapter 462 Part 2: Surrounded Great Dao Sect Alone (2)
He remembered Yunxiao Taoist Lord talking about the strengths and weaknesses of the Nine Immortal Gates.
The Great Dao Sect, located in the bustling Zhong Province, holds a prominent position among the Nine Heavenly Immortal Gates. It may not be the strongest sect, but it is formidable and challenging.
Normally, Qiao Mu should not have chosen to attack the Great Dao Sect if he wanted to conquer an Immortal Gate at this time.
But now, he only seeks death and doesn’t care about such considerations.
"Today, Qiao Shuangtu of the Qiao family is attacking the Great Dao Sect!"
"If you want to kill me, why wait?"
Qiao Mu’s voice thundered as he unleashed the "Po Yue Long Yin Gong" technique.
He let out a ring of sound waves from his mouth, causing visible dust waves.
This is the top sound skill in Jiu Province, derived from the True Strength technique by Founding Emperor Yan.
After Qiao Mu shouted, the sound waves made the ground tremble and the air distort.
But in front of him, the Great Dao Sect gate was silent, without any sound.
"It seems there is something different here."
Qiao Mu had just landed from the air.
He saw the surroundings quietly distort and change, with sunlight disappearing and dark clouds covering the sky, turning everything into an ordinary small forest.
Qiao Mu frowned, walking around this small forest several times.
But whether walking, running, or using the Dragon Transforming Step to try to leap into the sky…
No matter where he walked, he seemed to be trapped in this small forest.
The mountain gate of the Great Dao Sect seen before has now disappeared from Qiao Mu’s sight.
"Illusion? Maze?"
Qiao Mu had also encountered the formations of cultivators before.
Not to mention far away, within the Hundred-mile Desert, there was a large formation that had covered Fang Yuan’s territory for forty years.
But now, in front of him was ——
"Rude martial artist, entering my ‘Nine Palace Mother and Child Formation’ without realizing it."
The voice of an old man came from a distance, sounding ethereal and mysterious, from an unknown source.
A bolt of lightning cracked open from the sky and struck directly at Qiao Mu.
After that, the leader of Great Dao Sect appeared from behind the mountain covered by a powerful magic barrier, and laughed coldly.
It’s very difficult and costly to create a Soul Changing Stage dharma body. But as the leader of Great Dao Sect, he could definitely make one.
The leader set out to conquer the Nan Province while his dharma body remained in charge of the sect.
Even the Great Dao Sect leader didn’t expect that the Qiao family member not only destroyed many Daoist temples in Zhong Province, including the one in the Imperial Capital, but also came knocking on their door to attack directly.
The Nine Palace Mother and Child Formation is a part of the Great Dao Sect Mountain Protection Formation.
It contains illusions and mysteries.
This formation consists of nine smaller formations, each forming a secret realm space with various transformations.
The nine smaller formations work together and form a larger formation with endless and complex changes.
The essence of the Nine Palace Mother and Child Formation is like a living being. Even without anyone controlling it, it can adapt and continuously adjust the arrangement and combination of the nine smaller formations to prevent intruders from breaking through.
Even if a powerful Soul Changing cultivator comes, they might get trapped inside, unable to even locate the entrance of the mountain gate, let alone break through it.
However, the leader of the Great Dao Sect is not satisfied with just trapping him.
His dharma body had stayed still all along, not easily leaving the sect, to confront Qiao Mu who was causing chaos and destroying Taoist temples in Zhong Province.
But now that Qiao Mu has come knocking on his door, his anger flared up, unable to ignore the provocation.
"This is too much."
"Before the convergence of the Five Great Immortal Gates, let’s first investigate this member of the Qiao family, take down Qiao Shuangtu, to comfort the deceased soul of Junior Qingyi."
Although words were spoken this way.
The leader of the Great Dao Sect naturally wouldn’t charge head-on at Qiao Mu.
After all, it was just his dharma body.
Cultivators’ dharma bodies are naturally weaker than their original bodies, except for some special dharma bodies made from rare materials.
The Great Dao Sect sect leader’s dharma body, although powerful in battle at the Soul Changing Stage, is now only sufficient for self-defense and lacks further advancement.
Hoping that relying on a dharma body alone could defeat Qiao Shuangtu head-on… if it were that simple, there would be no need for the combined efforts of the five major Immortal Gates.
Therefore, the Great Dao Sect sect leader plans to make a discreet move.
While overseeing the Nine Palace Mother and Child Formation, the sect leader made a secret move.
Suddenly, red celestial fire descended from the sky and enveloped Qiao Mu instantly.
The forest, which had been there moments ago, turned into ashes in the raging fire.
However, a calm voice emanated from the flames:
"Old man, can you handle this?"
"If you want to burn me to death, you’ll have to try harder."
"Seems as arrogant as the rumors say," uttered the leader of the Great Dao Sect.
As Qiao Mu emerged from the blazing fire, his skin healed rapidly, growing fresh and pink new flesh.
The surroundings suddenly changed, and he found himself in a dark cave without knowing when.
The cave twisted ahead, with two different paths to the left and right, leading into darkness that even his sight couldn’t penetrate clearly.
"Another maze? I’m getting tired…"
"Left and right paths, which one should I choose?"
Qiao Mu looked at the two paths, lost in thought.
Taking a deep breath, he finally made a choice, his body slightly expanding, becoming larger and wider, muscles bulging.
"Diamond is indestructible."
His skin slightly changed color, revealing a golden iron-like hue, making his body look as strong as steel.
"Heavenly Dragon Eight Steps!"
Taking a deep breath, he almost turned into a whirlwind with his feet, sprinting forward quickly.
Left or right, which one to choose?
To hell with it, I choose left!
Boom!
Qiao Mu’s body crashed into the stone wall in the middle of the intersection, causing the wall to collapse instantly. The rumbling vibration shook the entire cave.
The stone wall was hit with a clear human-shaped outline, and as Qiao Mu broke through a dozen meters, the obstruction suddenly disappeared. He actually broke through the walls of the maze and entered a new passageway.
However, his speed did not change at all.
He didn’t care at all what was in front of him, whether it was a passage or a stone wall. He just put his arms in front of him and charged forward.
His hands and arms quickly became thick and huge, with horn-like calluses protruding from his wrists.
Boom!
The entire cave collapsed in a violent shake, leaving the Great Dao Sect leader who had been secretly watching behind the formation stunned.
However, he calmed down after a moment and just coldly snorted.
"He knows he can’t pass through this maze by force, does he think he can break the formation through brute strength?"
The Great Dao Sect leader just chuckled to himself.
This Mountain Protection Formation is one of the ancient legacies left by the Great Dao Sect. Even though its spiritual energy has weakened and it can’t fully display its power, it is still quite extraordinary.
If you want to forcefully break through, you need to break nine sub-formations in a few breaths, or else if there’s any delay, the Nine Palace Mother and Child Formation will adjust and new Secret Realm sub-formations will appear.
Even the powerful Great Dao Sect sect leader at the late stage of Soul Changing can’t break through forcefully.
Even if the sect leaders of other Immortal Gates try to break through forcefully, they can’t break the whole formation using external force.
"This is like a trapped beast fighting back." The Great Dao Sect sect leader seems calmer now.
He is deep inside the formation, secretly using magic to influence, and Qiao Shuangtu falls into his control naturally.
Even if he can’t defeat him immediately, he has time to wear him down…
He pointed forward with his hand.
Suddenly, the small Secret Realm where Qiao Shuangtu was collapsed completely, and countless rocks and debris rushed towards Qiao Mu.
Qiao Mu just escaped from the collapsing underground cave, but found himself in a vast desert all of a sudden.
Before he could react, the vast desert sand rose and fell like waves, creating a huge sand vortex beneath his feet, pulling him deeper and deeper.
Just the next moment.
Qiao Mu soared into the sky, stepping on clouds of True Strength, soaring like an arrow.
Boom, boom, boom!
Just as he broke through the sandy Secret Realm, he then crashed into a vast ocean; after emerging from the ocean, he found himself in an ordinary little forest.
Mountains, oceans, lakes, deserts… independent little Secret Realm Spaces changing back and forth, in a cycle of birth and destruction.
New wounds quickly appeared on Qiao Mu’s body, but soon new flesh grew back, his strength remaining at its peak, never declining.
It was unknown how much time had passed.
After dashing through countless small formations, Qiao Mu suddenly came to a halt.
His body was torn open, with multiple terrifying wounds that pierced through his body, some so deep that his bones were visible.
"It seems like it’s still not enough."
Qiao Mu let out a slight sigh.
His body fell backwards into the sea of sand, allowing the heavy layers of raging sand to gradually engulf his figure.
However, the leader of the Great Dao Sect, hidden behind layers of obstacles, suddenly felt a strange impulse stirring in his heart…
He heard Qiao Mu, who had fallen into the sea of sand, murmuring:
"You want to kill me with just this, indeed it’s not enough."
The leader of the Great Dao Sect suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and realized that Qiao Mu, who had fallen on the ground at some point, had turned his head, his gaze seemingly locking onto him through the layers of space.
"Found you," he said.
Boom!
With a clear sound of shattering, a young man with white hair similar to Qiao Shuangtu rushed towards him from behind, releasing streams of air from the pores on his back.
Swinging his fists like a raging wind, with each swing, the fists piled on top of each other heavily, displaying the perfect Eight Armed Heavenly Dragon Fist.
Ex-human Transformation is Martial Saint’s fastest form, while the Eight Armed Heavenly Dragon Fist is the fastest fist in the world.
At this moment, even before the person arrived, the dense shadow of fists had already enveloped all around the Great Dao Sect leader.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Great Dao Sect leader had just started to form hand seals, unable to resist with magic yet, several clusters of light burst open on him under the shadow of fists, eventually tearing apart his Dao robe and garments.
His body passed through by the young man with white hair, finally bursting into light and shadows, completely dissipating.
"Not a physical body, could it be a dharma body then?"
The young man with white hair stood up with his fists clenched.
He was Qiao Mu’s junior in the leadership of the Wuji Association in Zhong Province.
Eight bodies in different regions began to move almost simultaneously.
The main body fell into a maze and was temporarily trapped, while Qiao Mu directly controlled his junior to come over.
Meanwhile.
Qiao Mu, who was initially buried in the desert, stood up again, standing side by side with his own flesh clone.
