Chapter 668

Qian Chen stood on a barren reef. At this time, the east was gradually turning white, and the silver mirror used for transmission by the Taiyin naturally dimmed.

Qian Chen was very satisfied with his design; in this way, he could prevent that group of water-sellers from endlessly flooding the group, diluting the truly important matters.

The sun cast down rays of golden light, which complemented the Donghua Sword that Qian Chen had entrusted, breaking through the clouds and illuminating the entire sea surface.

The sunlight was like a sword, piercing toward the surging sea of clouds above the Golden Blade Gorge a hundred miles away. The outer layer of dark clouds was pierced by the golden light and became slightly thinner, but infinite cloud qi surged up, filling the void.

Qian Chen casually stopped the expansion of the formation's might and stood on the barren reef, facing the vast and boundless sea before him. Rolling waves came, slapping the reef beneath him. A sharp corner of the reef pierced toward the sky, smashing countless waves into broken jade. Qian Chen sensed the surging Hong Hong Sihai, the sea whose aura was connected as one, and silently used the Hong Hong Sihai aura gathered by the formation to polish his sword intent.

The Ear Dao God sat on his shoulder!

The little demon's forgetfulness was fast; now it had already forgotten how Qian Chen had treated it before!

If Qian Chen were to forcibly break into the formation, the True Dragon Profound Water Formation would not be able to stop him, but that would be just like Wang Longxiang breaking the Ten Thousand Waters Formation—merely charging out of the formation's obstruction alone.

The incarnation of the life-bound flying sword had heavy killing intent; without sacrificing a hundred thousand demon soldiers to the sword, how could it be satisfied? Moreover, with so many foreshadowings laid out being blocked here, Qian Chen also had the heart to let Long Gong know what the crime of obstructing public transportation was.

Qian Chen was cultivating his sword qi when the Ear Dao God stood up from his shoulder, looking into the distance with a trace of curiosity.

He saw a cloud of qi in the distance like a long rainbow, flying and rolling toward the Golden Blade Gorge.

That cloud head was extremely swift, dragging a distance of dozens of miles in the air. The rolling cloud qi condensed into a palace, and without stopping at all, it broke into the Sea-Blocking Great Formation.

Qian Chen saw clearly that the person only had the magic power of the Core Formation, but there was a Soul Transformation True Person hiding on the side, secretly protecting him. The cloud head rolled in the Sea-Blocking Great Formation and spread out; it was clearly a powerful magic treasure.

Borrowing the power of this magic treasure, this person spread auspicious clouds for a hundred miles within the Sea-Blocking Great Formation, pushing away the rolling dark clouds.

Perhaps to make Qian Chen's previous actions seem ordinary, or perhaps fearing the Soul Transformation True Person secretly protecting him, or perhaps the two had a tacit understanding, Long Gong restrained most of the formation's power this time, only letting the demon soldiers under his command urge giant waves to slap the palace in the clouds a few times.

Each time, it only scattered half of the cloud qi! But this cloud palace magic treasure was extremely extraordinary, and the cloud qi was endless, leaving the demon waves helpless. Instead, the demon soldiers who attacked the cloud palace suffered heavy casualties.

After a stalemate of two or three hours, the cloud palace broke out of the formation and landed outside the Golden Blade Gorge, unfolding a cloud palace that covered a hundred miles.

With such great momentum, killing thousands of demon soldiers, in the eyes of ordinary cultivators, it was not inferior to Qian Chen's previous act of entering the formation to slay demons!

On the flying boat in the clouds, He Qilang also saw this vast cloud qi. Luonan beside him exclaimed: "Who is this again? His magic power is much better than mine!"

The decadent-looking middle-aged Daoist beside him raised his eyes and glanced at it, saying lightly: "This is a person from the Cloud Heaven Palace. This person's magic power is indeed better than yours, but he is only a second-rank Core Formation; his cultivation is just one step ahead of yours!"

As he spoke, he raised his head and drank a mouthful of Kunlun Shang from the gourd at his waist, wiped the wine from his lips, and sneered: "Compared to the sword light that broke the great formation earlier, it is not even on the same level. The Cloud Heaven Palace has become more and more disappointing these years! Handing the sect's heavy treasure, the Qiongxiao Palace, to a junior to let him show off—can that really protect the prestige of the Cloud Heaven Palace?"

"When your Yan Shixiong Uncle Yan Shu achieved the first-rank Core Formation in the past and cultivated the life-bound sword embryo, his sword shocked the Hong Hong Sihai, making even the older generation of the Dragon Clan unable to resist taking action to stifle him. When did he ever borrow external objects?"

Just a second-rank Core Formation!

He Qilang and the few Shaoqing disciples beside him were speechless for a moment. A second-rank Core Formation was considered a high achievement among supreme-rank Core Formations! Even within the Shaoqing sect, one could compete for the position of true disciple and have hope of achieving the Primordial Spirit!

But in the mouth of this down-and-out grandmaster, it was nothing more than that.

Only Han Xiang knew in his heart that Xie Jianjun was indeed qualified to say this. In the past, the name 'Sword Lord' was given to him by his overseas peers; he was also a person who achieved first-rank Core Formation and whose sword shocked the Hong Hong Sihai.

He was the outstanding one among the Shaoqing disciples of that time, and later he taught Yan Shu, who inherited his style. It was only natural that he would look down on this generation!

Moreover, although a second-rank Core Formation had hope of the Primordial Spirit, most were just Soul Transformation achievements.

But Grandmaster Xie was already that!

The reason it was said that Grandmaster Xie's Dao heart was destroyed was because he broke his life-bound sword embryo during his emotional tribulation, and in the end, he took the overseas new-method Soul Transformation path, losing the spirit to inquire about the Primordial Spirit. This time, the Sect Master arranged for him to escort them because he calculated a cause and effect related to him, hoping to revitalize his Dao heart.

After all, the new-method path was not without those who had walked out of the Primordial Spirit True Immortal!

Just as Han Xiang was secretly alert, another thunderous escape light came, carrying infinite thunder.

That thunder revealed the Eight Trigrams, nurturing a peerless momentum, and came with lightning speed, charging into the formation. This time, the formation seemed to be enraged, and rolling dark clouds tilted down, with thunder flashing inside, but it was green-yellow lightning.

That Eight Trigrams Divine Thunder was a scorching white electric light, tumbling in the clouds, slashing and shattering pieces of dark clouds, revealing a huge void, incomparably domineering.

This time, in the formation below, countless demon soldiers urged waves to rise, striking horizontally in the sky, clouds and water surging, instantly freezing that piece of void and pressing the thunder light so it could not move.

As countless waves gathered in one place, they were about to crush that thunder light just like the Nascent Soul True Person of the Wanghai Gate.

Seeing that the thunder light was about to fall on the spot, Qian Chen did not take any action, because this thunder, like the previous cloud head, had a Soul Transformation True Person hiding on the side to guide it. But unlike the Cloud Heaven Palace's Soul Transformation who hid in the Qiongxiao Palace and helped out, the Soul Transformation protecting this thunder light just stood by and watched, not taking action until the last moment, even if it might not be able to respond in time within the Dragon Clan's formation.

At this critical moment, that Eight Trigrams thunder light actually changed again!

The thunder light erupted with thunder that looked like golden blades, extremely sharp. It was a kind of killing-intent fierce golden thunder. Finally, the two types of thunder gathered in one place, turning into a long sword condensed from thunder light with eight trigrams appearing on the surface. It actually slashed through the restraints and slashed a blade at the countless waves below.

The thunder shattered the dark clouds, and although it was torn apart by giant waves in the blink of an eye, it finally slashed through a wave.

The thunder light was like a sword, pulling toward the outside of the formation.

A muffled groan came from the True Dragon Profound Water Formation, and the boundless giant waves gathered and suddenly revealed a giant hand, about to pinch this thunder light... At this moment, the Soul Transformation hiding on the side finally took action, and the black and white magnetic divine thunder rolled, rescuing him!

From the scene, this thunder light was so embarrassed, not even a step stronger than the previous cloud head.

Xie Jianjun, dressed as a down-and-out Daoist, had his eyes light up, flashing a trace of appreciation as he said: "This disciple of the Shenxiao Sect, although he is also only a second-rank Core Formation, has greater spirit, and he has refined the two divine thunders of the Shenxiao Sect—the Eight Trigrams Divine Thunder and the Immortal-Slaying Divine Thunder—fusing them into an Eight Trigrams Immortal-Slaying Divine Thunder. His future achievements will definitely not be bad!"

Qian Chen had also cultivated these two thunder methods, and looking at that thunder light, he also felt his eyes light up. Although it was a line away from achieving first-rank Core Formation and nurturing the seed of a great divine ability, this person fused two types of divine thunder, which also had a hint of the charm of cultivating the seed of a great divine ability.

Of course, mastering the five thunders with a great divine ability required fusing five types of divine thunder to achieve the Heavenly Mansion Divine Thunder at the great divine ability level!

This person had only fused two, so he was still far off, but compared to the Cloud Heaven Palace disciple who relied on the magic treasures of his predecessors, he had a style of his own, which Qian Chen praised quite a bit!

"Cloud Heaven Palace, Shenxiao Sect... Now the truly top sects overseas are finally going to send their descendants to take action!"

Qian Chen nodded secretly; these were all his wisdom!

Before the thunder light disappeared, several more escape lights entered the formation. A Jin Wu Sect disciple drove a large artifact, like an iron building, spraying solar true fire and crashing into the True Dragon Profound Water Formation, recklessly clashing with the formation, only to be beaten down by two waves and almost trapped in the formation.

It was the Jin Wu Sect's Soul Transformation who took action, turning into a three-legged fire bird and grabbing him out.

Afterward, there was a figure with a feather fan and silk headband, chatting and laughing as he entered the formation. He circled the periphery of the formation a few times, not showing any means, just looking at the formation with great interest, and then when Long Gong really took action, he borrowed the stars in the sky to form a formation and shifted himself out.

He was the only one who exited the formation with his own ability.

Someone else dispersed into wind, hid in the formation for a stroll, and was finally captured by the Dragon Clan. Only then did the people outside the formation discover that someone had entered the formation!

Although this person was slippery, he was still trapped by the Dragon Clan's Profound Water Formation. In the end, a Soul Transformation appeared and bowed slightly to the formation, and only then did the Dragon Clan let him out.

After exiting the formation, this person was not ashamed; instead, he stood tall in the sky, bowing to all four directions: "This little brother is Wen Wunzi, a true disciple of the Fengwen Tower. The Fengwen Tower is not known for its divine abilities, but I have made you laugh! If the previous seniors want to join forces to break the formation, feel free to call on me if there is anything I can help with!"

The Fengwen Tower was already much weaker than the previous sects. This time, joining in the fun, they probably didn't have the intention of fighting with the Dragon Clan, but rather wanted to form a good relationship.

Qian Chen had a trace of emotion after seeing these people break into the formation.

This time, he truly saw the young talents from overseas. Although they were a step behind the new talents from the Central Lands like Wang Longxiang and the Daoist sect like Yan Shu, they were also talents of the time, not inferior to that elegant and graceful one from the Xie family!

Even that Xuan Kong Tian Xing Sect disciple who borrowed the stars to form a formation actually had the achievement of a first-rank Core Formation and had cultivated the great divine ability seed of the Six Jia Qi Men.

At this time, the Ear Dao God on his shoulder suddenly became restless, pointing to the horizon and saying something in babble.

A trace of surprise appeared in Qian Chen's eyes. He turned his head to look in the direction pointed by the Ear Dao God, only to see that the waves on the sea surface suddenly calmed down. Outside the huge Golden Blade Gorge, the sea surface for hundreds of miles suddenly became calm and waveless, like a mirror, reflecting the azure blue of the sky!

In the distance, a white deer as big as an ox or horse, with its head held high and white jade antlers like jade branches, stepped step by step on the mirror-like water surface, ripples like lotus flowers spreading out. Seemingly slow but actually fast, it walked slowly toward here!

On the back of the white deer sat a refined and otherworldly woman, her face covered with a light veil, like a goddess.

She rode the deer and came, her revealed figure incomparably beautiful. Her hair was tied into a bun and draped behind her, and her whole body faintly emitted a clear radiance, making people who saw her have thoughts of beauty and peace, not to be profaned.

What truly surprised Qian Chen was the white deer she was sitting on!

This deer was the same as the few white deer that Qian Chen raised, which Yan Yan Shixiong Yan and the two junior sisters all had. They were all transformed from water spirit beasts, and the cultivation of this white deer was clearly stronger. Her protector was none other than the white deer she was sitting on, which could compete with a Soul Transformation True Person!

It was only a step behind the green ox of the Tao family, but it was also at the Yang Spirit cultivation level, extremely spirited.

Qian Chen suddenly remembered a rumor he had heard and laughed: "So it is a disciple from Mount Luojia in the South Sea!"

"Fortunately, I didn't ride the white deer from home this time, otherwise wouldn't I have been compared?"

Qian Chen joked: "Although the green ox is a bit clumsy, fortunately, there is the Tai Shang pearl and jade first, so it is quite face-saving! It's just that this time, the old trick of my white deer giving a warning seems to be unusable again!"

He touched his chin and laughed: "That may not be so! Why not scare this white deer and see if it is willing to break its antlers and bleed!"
