Chapter 519: Jiugong Universe

The profound light released by True Person Shouyang was the sect-protecting magic treasure of the Luo Zhen Immortal Gate—the Earth-Covering Spiritual True Leaf.

This leaf was originally the plastron of a profound turtle great demon in the sea that had neared the immortal level. After it was slain by the Luo Zhen founder, the founder took its carapace and the spiritual mountain that covered it to refine that immortal island, and then used the profound turtle's plastron to refine this Earth-Covering Spiritual True Leaf!

It was actually that founder who had a clever idea; since they could not refine the foundation for a spiritual treasure, they split the spiritual materials capable of refining a spiritual treasure into two: one to serve as the sect's base, and the other to be refined into a magic treasure.

In this way, by borrowing the might of the Mountain-Suppressing Meta-Magnetic Great Array and under the reinforcement of the immortal island transformed from the profound turtle's carapace, it could exert power approaching that of a spiritual treasure. Only then did it suppress the two great Soul Transformation experts in one fell swoop.

On that Earth-Covering Spiritual True Leaf, ancient veins resembling leaf veins intertwined, forming an array with strict laws.

The space divided by the array each vaguely contained a palace, forming the Jiugong Universe Great Array, covering the sea area beneath the two invading Soul Transformation experts.

And above, using the array eye of the immortal island, another Jiugong Universe Great Array was established. The meta-magnetic divine peaks within the two great arrays erupted with tyrannical meta-magnetic divine light, connecting the immortal island in the sky with the Earth-Covering Spiritual True Leaf on the ground, as if an infinite meta-magnetic force wanted to lock the two together.

At this moment, the void between heaven and earth was stable, and there was even a sense of unshakeability.

The two Soul Transformation experts who had charged in were instantly reduced to turtles in a jar.

And in Qian Chen's view, after the spiritual leaf released by True Person Shouyang fell, the magic treasure covered the ground, and then the immortal island in the sky revealed its true form, transforming into a giant turtle shell. Under the attraction of the bipolar meta-magnetic force, the two suddenly merged. Although slow, it carried an unparalleled force!

Even with the status of Soul Transformation, it was difficult to escape...

When heaven and earth merged, the Earth-Covering Spiritual True Leaf and the Luo Zhen Xiandao would transform into a giant, unparalleled cage. The closed carapace and plastron would form a Nine-Nine Universe Great Array, thoroughly suppressing those two Soul Transformation experts.

This was the foundation of a contemporary immortal sect!

Seeing this sudden change, the Extreme Heaven Cliff beneath the Cliff-Breaking Guest suddenly surged. The pitch-black stone cliff climbed step by step, and in an instant, it towered a thousand zhang, higher than the two magnetic peaks. This remnant cliff, standing between heaven and earth, actually jammed itself between the two Jiugong arrays, resisting the great force of the meta-magnetic divine light's attraction, causing the merging momentum of the two arrays between heaven and earth to slow slightly.

"Oh!" Qian Chen exclaimed in surprise.

This Jiugong array not only had the Luo Zhen Xiandao carrying countless restriction arrays upon it, and even the combined pressure of many Luo Zhen Immortal Gate cultivators, but also a top-tier magic treasure approaching a spiritual treasure responding from below.

Added to the meta-magnetic great array suppressed by the two magnetic peaks, it was equivalent to a Nascent Soul-level spiritual treasure taking action!

Yet this Extreme Heaven Cliff of the Cliff-Breaking Guest was merely a magic treasure of excellent quality, and it could actually struggle to resist...

Only then did Qian Chen glimpse the essence of that black remnant cliff; it was actually a damaged spiritual treasure... But the spiritual treasure was already damaged after all. Under the combined force of the two Jiugong arrays, the pitch-black rocks of the Extreme Heaven Cliff constantly crumbled, and even the mountaintop cracked under the heavy pressure. Before long, a head was shaved off.

The Cliff-Dwelling Guest glared with wide, angry eyes and shouted sharply, "Gu Chen, are you still not going to make your move?"

That Xuan Yin Flying Blade, which possessed eyes and brows, suddenly moved, slicing through the void as it descended. The killing intent within it was peerless, causing even Wei Xuzi, who was standing cautiously on guard beneath the Pill Hall, to tremble in shock.

This flying blade strike was like a startled swan, hacking the Jiugong Universe Great Array—which had been transformed from the Earth-Covering Spiritual Truth Leaves on the ground—into a scattered mess.

The phantom images of seven of the nine palace towers collapsed, but when it reached the final two, it still slowed down.

At this moment, the spiritual light of the Jiugong Universe Great Array in the sky, which corresponded to the Immortal Dao, flowed, and the Jiugong Universe Great Array beneath the ground slowly recovered in its wake, nearly trapping that flying blade within it.

Gu Chen, who had incarnated as the flying blade, trembled slightly and said, "What a formidable setup. I originally thought that by ruining Luo Zhen's Yuan Yuan Yuan Ci Great Array, I had broken their founder's arrangement. I never expected the Yuan Yuan Yuan Ci Great Array to be merely a cover; its true foundation is actually these two Jiugong Universe Great Arrays!"

"Moreover, one must break the two formations in the sky and on the ground simultaneously in one breath. Otherwise, if only one is broken, it will recover most of its power within a few breaths! Even if I, this old man, strike with the full power of my flying blade, I would still need someone to assist me to break one of these formations!"

The Cliff-Dwelling Guest pondered slightly: "Then you and I shall join forces to break one formation... As for the other fellow Daoists, you might as well stop hiding! If we are captured like this, the Luo Zhen Immortal Gate will be as secure as a fortress, and it will be difficult to break through again!"

"Today, I break Luo Zhen only for the Mysterious Turtle Spiritual Peak on its immortal island, to repair my own Extreme Heaven Jagged Cliff!"

The Xuan Yin Er Wu Soul-Severing Blade also trembled slightly, and Gu Chen's cold laughter emerged: "I am actually somewhat interested in the Reincarnation Divine Pill, but I only want the Reincarnation Artifact Spirit to cultivate the Dao of Artifacts and attain longevity! Alas, this technique was lost in antiquity. If there is no Reincarnation Divine Pill, it would not be amiss to abduct that pill refiner and seek his guidance."

"Reproducing this artifact cultivation heritage is a great merit to the Immortal Dao itself! I ask all fellow Daoists to assist me!"

"Good fellow, he's actually set his sights on me!" Qian Chen bared his teeth and said.

Good fellow, Qian Chen simply said, good fellow!

I never expected that of the two people attacking today, one is indeed here for the Reincarnation Pill, but now, in order to get others to act, he is blatantly setting his sights on me! The other is coveting someone else's immortal island and spiritual peak, calculating that many people would be making things difficult for the Luo Zhen Immortal Gate today, and came here to loot the burning house!

If you wanted to study the artifact cultivation heritage with me, you should have said so earlier! Why didn't you say so earlier!

Wouldn't such a meritorious deed for the Immortal Dao be the perfect opportunity for me to earn the Water Virtue of Education?

At this moment, outside the great array of the Luo Zhen Immortal Gate, a light laugh was heard. A dragon-whale with a ferocious and vicious appearance was seen rushing out from the sea. Its head and body were broad, and it stood proudly. Its back was covered in black scales, while its belly appeared pure white. With a flick of its tail, it stirred up hundred-foot-high giant waves. Beside its mouth, which was full of sharp teeth, two dragon whiskers drifted, and its eyes, which appeared even smaller due to its massive size, flickered with fierce light.

The dragon-whale raised its neck and roared, swallowing and spitting seawater. Its momentum was imposing, and it alone possessed the power to stir the four seas!

The dragon-whale slapped its giant tail, crashing straight into the great array raised by the two magnetic peaks. Immediately, the North Pole Magnetic Peak tilted at a corner, causing the magnetic force of the two combined Jiugong Great Arrays to diminish significantly.

True Person Shouyang roared: "Shutong, you old rabbit! You dare to come and provoke my Luo Zhen!"

The Cliff-Dwelling Guest took the opportunity to withdraw the Extreme Heaven Jagged Cliff.

This tyrannical and peerless magic treasure, carried by his Yang Spirit, smashed straight down onto the Earth-Covering Spiritual Truth Leaves below. The Xuan Yin Er Wu Soul-Severing Blade also moved in tandem, slicing straight into the Jiugong Universe Array.

This time, the foundation of the Jiugong Great Array was shaken, and nine of its formation eyes were broken. In an instant, it was sliced open, but the Jiugong Universe Great Array in the sky still remained. As long as a few breaths of time passed, the great array would be able to recover as before.

Seeing that although the great array remained stable, it had already revealed flaws, and the situation was gradually slipping out of control, Wei Xuzi and True Person Mingtiao could no longer refrain from acting!

Wei Xuzi transformed into a long rainbow and flew, standing on the Earth-Covering Spiritual Truth Leaves, stabilizing the foundation of this magic treasure.

Then, with a pat at his waist, a clanging sound was heard, and a golden rainbow flew past. The sword light bent in the air, and with the momentum of breaking thunder, it slashed toward the two.

This sword light showed considerable skill. In a single sword strike, it fused sword qi and thunder sound, entering and exiting the blue void, a superior sword technique that entrusted the spirit. It forced that Xuan Yin Flying Blade to sway involuntarily, emitting blade qi to slash the sword light down!

True Person Mingtiao also opened his hand and cast out a net. At first, it looked like a small net for a child to catch cicadas; who knew it would pull down the spider's tools!

Immediately, this net grew larger and larger, soon obscuring the sky and sun, merging with the two formations. In the void, strands of viscous power suddenly appeared, and even the heaven and earth spiritual energy was gradually bound by the net.

The dragon-whale had already transformed into a magic artifact resembling a sea boat, crashing toward the immortal island in the sky.

The violent impact caused the low-rank cultivators on the island to sway left and right, and the pavilions and palaces also trembled. The cultivators on the island flew up one after another, driving their escape lights, combining their own magic power with the seals on the immortal island, so that the dragon-whale only managed to crash into the second palace of the Jiugong Great Array before it stopped.

This was indeed difficult to break through the impregnable mountain-protecting array of the Luo Zhen Immortal Gate... For a time, among the several Soul Transformation experts hiding in the dark, some began to have thoughts of retreating!

True Person Mingtiao raised his eyes and scanned, seeing that Qian Chen had already returned from his spirit butterfly incarnation.

He suddenly reached out and pointed, grabbing the Reincarnation Divine Pill above the Pill Hall along with Qian Chen, and dropping them into his net magic treasure.

Qian Chen's figure soon shattered like a dream. The spirit butterfly within the net transformed into a butterfly-shaped jade pendant, causing True Person Mingtiao's expression to change suddenly. Qian Chen, who had revealed his true body again, stood on top of the Pill Hall, shaking his head slightly and sighing: "The great tribulation of breaking the gate is imminent! Why must you come to provoke me?"

He pondered slightly. With the Jiugong Universe Great Array suppressed by the immortal island, his original plan to use the two magnetic peaks' Yuan Yuan Yuan Ci Great Array to draw down the Heavenly Mansion Divine Thunder was half-ruined.

It can be seen that even the foundation of overseas side-door sects cannot be underestimated.

Fortunately, the number of Soul Transformation experts drawn by this tribulation is not small; I only need to create a part of the opportunity!

Thus, he reached out and pointed, and the great divine ability of Mastering the Five Thunders suddenly erupted. Starting from the Yang Pole Magnetic Peak beneath his feet, countless Yuan Yuan Yuan Ci Divine Thunders were suddenly scattered from his sleeves, dancing incessantly in the air. Between the flashes, reflecting strange light and transforming into exotic colors, it was very beautiful. But every single divine thunder was formed by the convergence of the two-instrument origin magnet power, flowing away along the induction of the yin-yang origin magnet, like thousands of thunder pearls scattered in the sky. A slight touch would be like thousands of mother-and-son linked pearls exploding simultaneously.

In an instant, the Yuan Yuan Yuan Ci Divine Thunder blasted the two yin-yang screen magnetic peaks until rubble fell everywhere. Even though the material of the magnetic peaks was peculiar, a layer was still shaved off.

Wei Xuzi sensed that the Yuan Yuan Yuan Ci Great Array was slightly chaotic and was very anxious, hurriedly saying: "Fellow Daoist Qian, this is just a misunderstanding!"

"Cultivators like us only have happy meetings; how can there be any misunderstandings!" Qian Chen smiled slightly: "It is nothing more than firm Dao hearts and relying on our own means!"

After speaking, he used the Two-Instrument Yuan Yuan Yuan Ci Divine Light to pry the entire Yuan Yuan Yuan Ci Great Array, twisting the monstrous magnetic malevolence into thunder.

Above the two towering magnetic peaks, countless thunder lights emerged, like dragons walking on the ground gathering at the peak. Then, the thunder lights on the yin-yang magnetic peaks shot toward each other, merging at a point between the magnetic peaks.

Immediately... a monstrous and peerless thunder light exploded in the sky!

At this moment, wherever the eyes could see, it was all dazzling thunder light. Between the flashes of thunder, the power of a single thunderbolt could blast a Core Formation expert into flying ash.

The Gold and Silver Children behind Qian Chen held a magnetic bottle and poured it down. Countless jade sands were seen scattering, like star pellets jumping, dancing incessantly. Between the flashes, reflecting purple electricity and silver light, and transforming into exotic colors, it was very beautiful.

But when every jade sand collided with each other, it would detonate thunder fire, with nearly heaven-toppling power, blasting True Person Mingtiao's net magic treasure into pieces...

And at this moment, the origin magnet power of the Two-Instrument Yuan Yuan Yuan Ci Great Array was suddenly twisted by the divine thunder, turning the force that attracted the Jiugong Great Array to merge into a repulsive force!

At this time, the arrangement left behind by the founder of the Luo Zhen Immortal Gate finally revealed a flaw.

In the void, three more magic treasures killed their way out, striking into the two Jiugong Universe Great Arrays that could suddenly no longer merge.

The situation at this moment turned around with a bang!
