Chapter 441: Breaking the Formation

In the first round of voting, the He Dao Sect, while being the strongest sect, remained silent and did not rush into the estate.

Now that the He Dao Sect had spoken up, it was clear they were not willing to wait any longer.

Seeing this, the cultivators from the Heaven Demon Sect and a few other sects appeared pleased, but looking at the current situation, their joy quickly faded.

During the waiting period, many disciples from other sects had arrived, and among them, several large sects exchanged glances and secretly conspired to team up against these top sects.

Although this did not pose a significant threat to them, it was still quite troublesome.

It was better to break through the estate’s entrance sooner rather than later to assess the situation.

“Since the two Fellow Daoists from the He Dao Sect have spoken, let us work together to break this great formation,” one of the Xuantian Sect cultivators proposed.

Though the Xuantian Sect and others wanted to wait a bit longer, they had no choice but to agree under the pressure from various sects.

However, the situation was much better than before, as the Xuantian Sect had welcomed two more Mid Void Refinement stage cultivators during their wait, and the Taiyi Sect had nearly done the same.

This current strength, while not as formidable as the He Dao Sect and Heaven Demon Sect, would not put them at too much of a disadvantage when entering the estate.

Seeing that several major sects had agreed, other cultivators present also brightened at the prospect.

Although their realms weren’t high and their strengths were not strong, even the combined efforts of their disciples could not match the top sects.

But they were brave!

Earlier, the crowd had no room for discussion and had to listen to the decisions made by the top sects; they could not interject at all.

Yet after entering the estate, they might find their own opportunities.

Ji Yang, who had been silent, thought it a pity.

He still had some power of lightning calamity within him that he had not yet refined; it would be better if he could wait a bit longer.

However, breaking the formation now wasn’t a bad thing; if worse came to worst, he just wouldn’t enter.

With everyone’s agreement, cultivators from all the major sects immediately went to examine the core of the formation.

The key to breaking the formation lay in finding its weaknesses, which would allow them to dismantle it easily and avoid self-detonation or other side effects caused by a powerful break.

After several experts in formations examined closely, they decisively chose to push hard!

This formation was ancient and not as intricate as today’s formations but was strong in defense!

With dozens of Void Refinement stage cultivators present, even if each one struck just once, it was enough to break the formation!

Under the guidance of the sect’s cultivators, the other Void Refinement stage cultivators prepared to act, and as top sect cultivators, they didn’t even allow one or two from other large sects to join in.

“Go!”

With a shout, countless attacks surged toward the great formation surrounding the estate.

As Void Refinement stage cultivators, their control was formidable, and every strike landed on the same spot of the formation.

When countless attacks struck the formation, the originally invisible barrier suddenly shimmered with a multicolored glow.

However, as the light faded, everyone was left in shock.

The formation showed no signs of movement, nor did it produce a ripple.

Even the late Void Refinement stage cultivators from various sects couldn’t help but frown slightly.

So many Void Refinement stage cultivators were present; even cultivators at the Unity with the Dao stage would surely fall here, yet against an ancient great formation, they had not moved it even a bit.

Soon, several cultivators skilled in formations stepped forward to examine it.

After some inspection, a Mid Void Refinement stage cultivator from the Taiyi Sect slowly spoke up:

“This is the Five-Color Great Formation. This formation is primarily defensive. If the attack does not reach its critical value, it will be dissolved by the power of the five colors and evenly spread out across every point of the formation, which is why it remains completely unharmed.”

“Every formation must have a core formation eye, and an ordinary formation eye, after such a long time, will certainly be unable to sustain itself.”

“However, this place is at the upper layer of the Ancient Realm, where the spiritual energy from the heavens and earth is extremely rich, so this core formation can continuously thrive and flow endlessly.”

“To break this formation, you must either attack its core formation eye from within or launch attacks that reach the critical value, preventing it from dispersing.”

Listening to this explanation, everyone suddenly understood the principles behind the formation.

The late Void Refinement stage cultivators from each sect frowned at this point.

Clearly, breaking in from the inside was impossible, so everyone’s attacks would need to reach the critical value.

Although their earlier power was considerable, it was evidently still insufficient; to break the formation, they needed much stronger force.

Under the “friendly persuasion” of various cultivators from the sects, many Void Refinement stage cultivators from large sects also joined in the effort to break the formation.

Ji Yang was no exception but did not refuse; he simply nodded in agreement, all the while thinking of ways to slack off.

With so many cultivators, it was likely a few would be slacking off, so why couldn’t he be among them?

After all, with so many people, it was unlikely anyone would be watching him closely, right?

With this thought, Ji Yang also joined the group attacking the great formation.

After many cultivators discussed how to strike, they were all set.

“Go!”

With the second command sounded, countless attacks surged once again toward the great formation before them. Having learned from their earlier experience, they all knew that without using some skill, it would be hard to break this formation.

Thus, both the quality and quantity of this attack far surpassed the last.

Ji Yang stood among the crowd; as the call was given, he casually waved his hand, showing an expression that was quite serious.

As numerous attacks struck the formation, the ancient great formation rippled without disturbance.

The cultivators present were pleased, sensing success was in sight.

However, as the ripples faded, the formation gradually calmed down again, clearly indicating that their previous attacks were still insufficient to break it.

Noticing the futility of their attacks, many Void Refinement stage cultivators quickly turned their gaze to the crowd behind them, lingering a moment on a few individuals, but ultimately, everyone’s attention converged on one person.

“This Fellow Daoist, are you being too much?”

“?”

“Are you talking about me?”

Ji Yang looked at everyone in confusion, his face filled with bewilderment.

But upon seeing the angry looks directed at him, Ji Yang couldn’t help but smile slightly.

His fine acting seemed to have been exposed.

But he couldn’t be blamed; after all, it wasn’t convenient for him to act.

"Hmph, do you think we are blind?"

A late Void Refinement stage cultivator from the Blood Separation Sect snorted coldly.

Although others were slacking off, at least they had made some effort, but Ji Yang treated them like fools. Such despicable behavior naturally caused everyone to despise him.

Even those cultivators who were slacking off during the attack looked at Ji Yang with righteous indignation, making them seem like they were putting in their utmost effort in comparison.
