Chapter 361: Charging the Formation Directly

The Jichuan Star Domain is one of the four Fifth-Tier star domains governed by a Domain Lord from Chen Guo.

In terms of time of control, it is more than a dozen years earlier than the Fifth-Tier Huashi Star Domain.

Because of this, the degree of control is slightly higher than that of the Huashi Star Domain.

According to the intelligence provided by the Grand Master, the process of stopping the Jichuan Star Domain from connecting to the ancestral cave was relatively smooth at the beginning.

Especially after reinforcements arrived and joined forces with the power controlled by Domain Lord Meng Yanwei, they beat the alien army organized by the messenger into a series of retreats.

But at a critical moment, the messenger used a Seventh-Tier star core to consecutively kill two Sixth-Tier experts, severely wounding the Domain Lord and repelling the army's vanguard. After gaining a breathing space, he directly opened the Star Pivot Array in the Green Wing Wang Cheng and raised the Altar Heavenly Road.

Then, the trouble began.

They couldn't break in!

The Altar Heavenly Road was like a natural, unbreakable fortress, blocking all Sixth-Tier powerhouses.

Bombarding it was like going against the origin of the entire star domain; without subversive power, it couldn't be broken.

Elite Fifth-Tier experts had also tried to charge twice, but suffered heavy casualties.

They could only watch helplessly as the Altar Heavenly Road constantly approached the ancestral cave.

In the end, they could only ask the Grand Master for help.

The Grand Master didn't have any good solutions either; Fifth-Tier geniuses who could surpass tiers to challenge late Sixth-Tier experts were themselves very rare.

Let alone fighting many at once.

Fortunately, Xu Jin's business in the Huashi Star Domain was over.

Because of this, Xu Jin's journey to support the Jichuan Star Domain was very smooth.

Carrying the spatial jade slip prepared by the people sent by the Grand Master, Xu Jin, Ning Yuchan, Ji Hongli, and Hou Yunzhang landed in the Jichuan Star Domain and, not long after, quickly made contact with the reinforcement experts sent by Domain Lord Meng Yanwei.

Directly boarding the star boat sent by the Domain Lord, in less than an hour, they arrived at the Green Wing Wang Cheng where the Altar Heavenly Road was located.

Because of the joint attack by the Domain Lord and the Chen Guo elites, and because the alien Sixth-Tier top powerhouses had retreated to defend the Altar Heavenly Road, they had long since broken through the Green Wing Wang Cheng.

But they were trapped in front of the Altar Heavenly Road, helpless.

The aliens inside the Altar Heavenly Road looked at the humans surrounding them, especially after the Altar Heavenly Road rose higher and they saw the humans slaughtering their own kind, they were filled with hatred.

They were just waiting for the Altar Heavenly Road to connect to the ancestral cave, after which their cultivation bases would each break through to the Seventh-Tier, and then they would counterattack the humans.

The arriving Xu Jin and his group of four were directly taken to the palace of the Green Wing Wang Cheng to meet Domain Lord Meng Yanwei.

The palace of the Green Wing Wang Cheng had already been used by Domain Lord Meng Yanwei as a temporary military tent.

The group of human experts in the Jichuan Star Domain, as well as the elites sent by the Chen Guo Dao Academy to support this side, were very expectant of the reinforcements sent by the Grand Master.

Hearing that the Grand Master's reinforcements had arrived, they welcomed the four of them into the commander's tent as if lining the streets to welcome them.

But on the way to the commander's tent, many people began to mutter.

Ning Yuchan was fine, at the peak of the Fifth-Tier, Fourth Layer, at least she was a Fifth-Tier expert; Hou Yunzhang was also not bad, at the peak of the Fifth-Tier, Ninth Layer; these two were useful.

But Xu Jin and Ji Hongli, one was at the Fourth-Tier, Eighth Layer, and the other was at the Fourth-Tier, Sixth Layer.

Were they playing around?

Sending two Fourth-Tier experts over, how much did they look down on the Sixth-Tier powerhouses inside the Altar Heavenly Road?

It was even a bit of a slap in the face.

Especially to a group of Fifth-Tier late-stage or even Fifth-Tier, Ninth Layer elites.

In the short few steps to enter the commander's tent, some people began to mutter.

But unexpectedly, upon hearing that the support squad had arrived, Domain Lord Meng Yanwei hurriedly left the tent and came out to welcome them personally.

What surprised the others even more was that the person Domain Lord Meng Yanwei welcomed warmly was actually the Fourth-Tier, Eighth Layer Qi Qi Tian Sheng, and not the Fifth-Tier, Ninth Layer Hou Yunzhang.

This made a group of Fifth-Tier elites feel indignant, especially those from the Chen Guo Dao Academy.

【Cui Tianqi, I thought the one at the peak of the Fifth-Tier, Ninth Layer was the leader, but I didn't expect it to be this Fourth-Tier, Eighth Layer one who is the captain! Cui Tianqi, the Grand Master couldn't have sent the wrong person, could he?】 He Fei said directly to Cui Jing and the surrounding fellow disciples.

Previously, Chen Guo Commander Mao Yue had specifically transferred Fifth-Tier elites from the army to support the Jichuan Star Domain.

Those who could be transferred were naturally geniuses, and of all geniuses, ninety-nine out of a hundred came from the Chen Guo Dao Academy.

Cui Jing had once been the top Chen Guo genius who suppressed the Dao Academy for ten years, the champion of the Chen Guo Dao Academy true disciples ten years ago.

Currently, his cultivation base is at the Fifth-Tier, Sixth Layer.

However, this genius who suppressed the Dao Academy for ten years had superb combat power.

In previous battles, he had once killed a Sixth-Tier, Sixth Layer alien and repelled a Sixth-Tier, Ninth Layer alien.

But even so, during the previous two charges at the Altar Heavenly Road, he had been beaten until he was covered in dust and could only retreat helplessly, not to mention losing two junior brothers.

As for this He Fei who was speaking, he was a true disciple of the same rank as Cui Jing ten years ago, the true disciple second place that year.

Over the years, he had always been competing with Cui Jing, but in terms of combat power, he had always been suppressed by Cui Jing; only in cultivation base did he lead Cui Jing by one layer, at the Fifth-Tier, Seventh Layer.

【Don't talk nonsense; the Grand Master sent this person here to support, so naturally there is a reason for the support!】 Cui Jing frowned.

Although Cui Jing also couldn't understand the Grand Master's intention in sending a Fourth-Tier, Eighth Layer expert, the Grand Master held a lofty position in his heart, and he chose to believe in the Grand Master.

【Senior Brother He, don't be anxious! The reinforcements sent by the Grand Master can't be wrong! Maybe they are carrying Sixth-Tier star weapons or even Sixth-Tier emblems?】 Another top genius from the Dao Academy, Lin Bicheng, said.

Lin Bicheng was the champion of the autumn examination true disciples seven years ago, but this autumn examination champion was far inferior to Cui Jing.

Whether in combat power or cultivation base, he was quite far behind, at the Fifth-Tier, Fifth Layer.

In terms of combat power, perhaps because of his cultivation base, he was not even as good as He Fei, but he also had the ability to challenge across tiers.

He was an elite who had returned alive from the previous two charges at the Altar Heavenly Road.

【Sixth-Tier star weapons, doesn't Cui Tianqi have them?

As for Sixth-Tier emblems?

It doesn't matter who uses them!

Rather than letting him use them, it would be better to let Cui Tianqi use them!】

【Junior Brother, that's enough! Let's see how Domain Lord Meng arranges it!】 Cui Jing gave a low shout, which stopped He Fei's complaining.

【Please, Young Hero Qi, you already understand the situation of this Altar Heavenly Road, right?】 Inside the military tent, Meng Yanwei personally moved a chair for Xu Jin, making the group of generals and Fifth-Tier elites stare in disbelief.

Meng Yanwei's prestige was still very high.

Actually, Meng Yanwei was also puzzled, but before this, he had received an urgent message from his elder brother, Meng Yanhui.

The urgent message specifically instructed him to be respectful to this Qi Qi Tian Sheng and to trust him absolutely, and that there must not be any impropriety.

It even said that even he himself, upon seeing this Qi Qi Tian Sheng, had to be respectful.

This point, Meng Yanwei was very puzzled by.

But his elder brother's words, he just had to believe and execute them.

His elder brother had no reason to harm him, and besides, his elder brother had always been brilliant.

Therefore, even though the generals under his command were very puzzled, and the reinforcements led by Cui Jing and He Fei were all full of doubt.

Meng Yanwei directly adopted the attitude of treating an honored guest.

This made elites like Cui Jing, He Fei, and Lin Bicheng feel even more jealous.

You must know, when they came to support, Domain Lord Meng Yanwei didn't give them this treatment.

Let alone moving a chair personally, he didn't even step out of the commander's tent.

Now this...

Even Cui Jing felt a bit jealous.

【Understood! Domain Lord Meng, time is urgent, so let's not stand on ceremony. You should have information on the alien elites inside the Altar Heavenly Road, right? Let us understand it, and then we will act directly.】 Xu Jin said.

【Yes, yes, yes!】

Meng Yanwei subconsciously handed a jade slip to Xu Jin; they had long since prepared these.

But, act directly?

【Young Hero Qi, what is your battle plan?】 Meng Yanwei asked.

【What battle plan?】 Xu Jin was puzzled. Meng Yanwei was stunned and could only bite the bullet and continue to ask, 【I mean, the detailed tactical arrangement for entering this Altar Heavenly Road?】

【Detailed tactical arrangement?】

Xu Jin frowned and pondered for a few breaths. 【This Altar Heavenly Road is narrow, so there's no need for any arrangements. I will lead the charge, and the others will just follow me to break the formation.】 Xu Jin said it simply and directly.

Meng Yanwei nodded slightly without saying much, but the Fifth-Tier elites in the back who had failed to charge twice before all showed expressions of displeasure.

This was too much of a child's play, wasn't it?

【Charge the formation directly? Then break the formation? Do you think this is playing house? Do you even know the danger of this Altar Heavenly Road?】 He Fei couldn't help but ask from the back.

Xu Jin turned his head and glanced at He Fei, just a glance, but he didn't pay any attention to him.

Wasting breath was unnecessary.

Xu Jin was clear about the doubts these people had about him, but no matter how much he explained, it would be useless.

Once he broke the Altar Heavenly Road in a while, they would understand!

Quickly finishing reading the information in the jade slip, Xu Jin handed the jade slip to Ning Yuchan, letting them all understand it once.

Xu Jin already understood the aliens inside the Altar Heavenly Road.

The difficulty was slightly greater than the difficulty inside the Huashi Star Domain.

Because inside there were eight Sixth-Tier aliens, among whom three were Sixth-Tier, Ninth Layer, and the other five were all Sixth-Tier, Eighth Layer, and there was also a messenger holding a Seventh-Tier star core weapon.

The combat power was still very strong.

Especially the Green Wing clan, which was the main combatant, possessing a pair of green wings, extremely fast speed, and extremely eerie movement techniques.

If this were half a month ago, that is, Xu Jin's state and strength before breaking the Altar Heavenly Road of the Huashi Star Domain, it would indeed be very dangerous!

However, after breaking the Altar Heavenly Road of the Huashi Star Domain, whether it was Xu Jin, Ning Yuchan, or Ji Hongli, Hou Yunzhang, and others, their combat power had all increased exponentially.

The cooperation between them had also become more tacit.

It was not a difficult task!

Being ignored by Xu Jin, He Fei was directly angered until his hair stood on end, but he was suppressed by Cui Jing.

Half a quarter of an hour later, after the three of them, Ning Yuchan, had finished reading, the jade slip returned to Xu Jin's hand, and Xu Jin handed this jade slip back to Domain Lord Meng Yanwei.

【Domain Lord Meng, lead the way!】

【What?】

Meng Yanwei, who had just taken the information jade slip, was a bit puzzled and didn't understand what Xu Jin meant by leading the way.

【Domain Lord Meng, I mean lead me to the Altar Heavenly Road, we are charging the formation!】

Meng Yanwei was stunned.

The group of elites in the military tent, especially Cui Jing, He Fei, Lin Bicheng, and others, were also all stunned.

Without doing any tactical research, without doing any tactical deployment, just charging the formation directly?

This was too rash, wasn't it?

【Why, Domain Lord Meng, are there any other problems, can't we charge?】 Xu Jin frowned.

【No! We can charge.】

Meng Yanwei nodded hurriedly. 【It's just, aren't you going to discuss it again, aren't you going to discuss tactics with General Cui and the others?】

【No need.】

Suddenly, Meng Yanwei understood Xu Jin's meaning and said in surprise, 【No, Young Hero Qi, do you mean that the four of you are going to charge the formation alone? Not charging the formation together with General Cui and the others?】

Hearing this, Xu Jin turned his head to look at Cui Jing, He Fei, Lin Bicheng, and the group of Fifth-Tier elites, and said, 【If any of them are willing to charge the formation with us, then come along; you should be able to get some benefits.】

Xu Jin said this for a reason!

Currently, there were many star domains stopping the star domains from connecting to the ancestral cave, but the only one who had broken the Altar Heavenly Road was Xu Jin alone.

The only ones who knew that there were great benefits inside the Altar Heavenly Road were Xu Jin and his group.

Xu Jin looked at Cui Jing, Lin Bicheng, He Fei, and others whose cultivation bases had not reached the peak of the Fifth-Tier, Ninth Layer, and had an idea.

Taking them in to charge, letting them also get some benefits.

Improving their cultivation base by two or three layers shouldn't be a problem.

Xu Jin could also be considered to be helping the Chen Guo Dao Academy improve its strength.

Normally speaking, for a Fifth-Tier cultivator to improve their cultivation base by one layer, unless they had particularly abundant cultivation resources, for most, improving their cultivation base by one layer would take half a year, or even longer.

Two or three layers of cultivation base were enough to save them two years of bitter work.

Xu Jin doing this could not only let them possess the cultivation base and combat power of the peak of the Fifth-Tier, Ninth Layer two years in advance, but it was even more likely to give one or two of them the possibility of breaking through to the Sixth-Tier two years in advance, increasing the Sixth-Tier combat power of the Chen Guo Dao Academy.

So he said it like that.

However, Xu Jin's words about sharing the benefits, in the ears of Cui Jing, He Fei, and Lin Bicheng, sounded more or less arrogant, or even like a kind of bestowal.

It sounded very uncomfortable.

【A Fourth-Tier, Eighth Layer, so arrogant, not afraid of the wind flashing his tongue!】 He Fei was a bit indignant.

Xu Jin shook his head and smiled, not saying another word.

The same words, if you listen with an antagonistic mindset, then there's no way!

Even if gold falls from the sky, you have to reach out your hand to pick it up!

There was no need to beg them to follow and take benefits!

Glancing at He Fei, Xu Jin didn't say a word and gestured for Meng Yanwei to lead the way. Meng Yanwei could only lead the way, and Xu Jin's group followed, walking toward the Altar Heavenly Road with Meng Yanwei.

Being ignored again, He Fei was directly angered until he exploded.

But he wanted to vent, yet he couldn't!

He still had to follow Cui Jing and the others to keep up, but this did not stop him from complaining, "This kid is too arrogant; he has no idea how terrifying the Altar Heavenly Road is! Are you guys going or not? Anyway, I'm not! If I'm not careful and get killed by this arrogant guy inside the Altar Heavenly Road, that would be a huge loss!"

Cui Jing didn't speak, but Lin Bicheng said in a low voice, 【Senior Brother He, this isn't good! Coming from the present world, and not knowing the danger of the Altar Heavenly Road, it's normal to be a bit arrogant. But after all, we are all fellow disciples of the Dao Academy, and being able to be sent by the Grand Master, he is also a genius.

If he dies in the Altar Heavenly Road, it will also damage the strength of the Chen Guo Dao Academy.

Why don't we follow and charge a bit? If things go wrong, we can also save their lives!】

【That's the logic! I'll still follow them and charge; I can't just watch them die in the Altar Heavenly Road!】 Cui Jing said helplessly.

【You!】

He Fei was speechless. 【You go if you want, anyway I'm not going! If you go, you also have to be careful, don't get tricked to death by such an arrogant person!】

【I'm not going either!】

【I'm not going either!】

【I'll still follow Cui Tianqi for a trip.】 Another Fifth-Tier, Fifth Layer genius disciple, Lü Xiaole, said in a low voice.

【Be careful not to get tricked to death!】 He Fei said.

Almost at the same time, inside the Altar Heavenly Road, the messenger Ju Wu, who was high above the Altar Heavenly Road, looked at the human elites who had surrounded the Altar Heavenly Road again and suddenly frowned. 【Green Wing King, prepare yourselves, these humans, it looks like they are going to charge the formation again.】

The Green Wing King, whose green wings were flexibly flapping after shrinking, laughed. 【Messenger, the previous two charges were beaten into a rout by us, what can happen this time? I think sending four people to guard the entrance is enough, no need to stop driving the array.】

【Don't be careless!】

Messenger Ju Wu glanced at the ancestral cave not far above his head. 【Humans are full of tricks, the closer we get to the final moment, the less we can be careless!

Everyone stop driving the array and set up the formation!

As long as they dare to charge the formation, give them a head-on blow with concentrated fire!

The more of these elites we kill, the safer we are!

Only then can we successfully connect to the ancestral cave, and you can also quickly promote to the Seventh-Tier!】

【Good!】

Since they had decided to join the Holy Clan envoy's command, they couldn't disobey the messenger's orders.

【Everyone, stop driving the array and prepare to concentrate fire!

This time, if they dare to charge the formation again, for every one that comes, we'd better keep every one!】 The Green Wing King laughed loudly.

【Good!】

A group of alien experts agreed one after another!
