Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

#391 - Chapter 390 Enthronement Ceremony (Part 3)

"Ah! It's a fiend from the Abyss of Heavenly Demons!"

"The Abyss of Heavenly Demons dares to attack us directly! Has the situation deteriorated to this extent?!"

"How do they know that True Person Tong isn't here?!"

"The grand formation is shaking so violently! Can it hold?!"

...

A wave of panic instantly spread through the main hall. This was mainly due to the Foundation Establishment cultivators from the lower sects, who felt an innate fear of Nascent Soul True Persons, hence their cries of alarm.

As for the Core Formation cultivators, they were much more composed.

Profound Heaven Sect was a major sect in the Southern Domain, and its mountain protection grand formation, continuously improved over tens of thousands of years, could not be broken by just two Nascent Soul cultivators.

Moreover, there were so many Core Formation cultivators present. As long as they had the formation to rely on, withstanding the attacks of two Nascent Souls was not a difficult task.

The Core Formation elders of Profound Heaven Sect merely raised their heads slightly, sending their divine senses to probe above Profound Heaven Palace.

Liu Yuanqing stood up from the wooden throne, smiled coldly, and said loudly, "Well done! Let's go, everyone, and meet the two True Persons from the Abyss of Heavenly Demons!"

He took a step, moving through the air, and landed below the high platform.

The Core Formation elders of Profound Heaven Sect stepped back slightly, making way for him. After Liu Yuanqing landed and stepped forward, they followed behind him, heading straight out of the hall.

The crowded people in the hall immediately cleared a path. Liu Yuanqing looked straight ahead, his face solemn, and quickly walked out of the right hall, through the front hall, and out of Profound Heaven Palace.

He stood on the plaza in front of the palace, raising his head to look at the sky.

Above a dazzling white light, two cultivators stood suspended in the air. One had an ugly appearance, wearing a black robe and a bamboo hat, holding a long spear in his hand. The tip of the spear swirled with a ball of fire, and countless fireballs fell from it, bombarding the mountain protection grand formation one after another, causing light to radiate in all directions.

The other wore a cyan Daoist robe, looked to be in his fifties, with a thin face and a high nose, his eyes like lightning. He held a scroll of scriptures in his hand, which seemed to contain a mysterious power gathering, ready to be unleashed.

"Oh, is the main figure here? Are you the new Sect Leader of Profound Heaven Sect, Liu Yuanqing?" the Daoist holding the scriptures asked, his voice gloomy, as if coming from the bottom of an abyss.

Liu Yuanqing's expression remained unchanged. He used his magical power to amplify his voice, saying indifferently, "That's right, I am Liu Yuanqing. May I ask, you two True Persons, what brings you here from so far away?"

The Daoist smiled sinisterly, "I heard you ascended to the position of Sect Leader, so I came to give you a big gift. I, as a Nascent Soul, am giving a congratulatory gift to you, a mere Core Formation cultivator. Why don't you open the door to welcome guests? Is this the way Profound Heaven Sect treats its guests?!"

Liu Yuanqing snorted lightly, "When honored guests wish to visit my sect, they should first inform the sect, set a date, and state their identities. My sect will naturally prepare the appropriate etiquette and have someone of the corresponding status welcome them in. How can one fly directly to my sect's important location and attack the formation to gain entry without prior notification? This is not a distinguished guest, but an unwelcome one!"

The Daoist laughed loudly, his voice like that of an owl, extremely unpleasant.

"You're quite eloquent. You probably think that Tong Tianfu can return in time, so you have nothing to fear? Heh heh, even True Person Tong probably doesn't know about me! He won't be able to leave Flowing Cloud Immortal City, even with the Heavenly Lightning Halberd. Do you think only your Profound Heaven Sect has divine treasures? My Abyss of Heavenly Demons is not lacking either! If we're comparing treasures, you're far behind!"

His words immediately caused a commotion among the crowd that had followed Liu Yuanqing out of the hall.

The reason why hundreds of medium and small sects could still gather around Profound Heaven Sect was solely due to its foundation and battle power.

If Profound Heaven Sect's three great divine treasures couldn't deter the enemy, then the situation would truly be beyond salvation.

Zhang Yuanjing stood on the side of the plaza, frowning as he looked at the two Nascent Souls.

Profound Heaven Sect's foundation was not that simple. Two Nascent Soul cultivators wanting to shake Heavenly Capital Mountain was no different from daydreaming.

However, the Nascent Souls from the Abyss of Heavenly Demons were not ignorant fools. They all had backgrounds, even coming from some super sect. It was impossible to underestimate a sect like Profound Heaven Sect with tens of thousands of years of inheritance.

What were they relying on?

As he was thinking, a faint fragrance wafted over, and a woman approached.

He turned his head to look and was slightly surprised.

The woman wore a light yellow dress, her face like a lotus, her eyes like autumn water. Seeing Zhang Yuanjing looking at her, she immediately smiled, like mountain flowers blooming.

She said playfully, "Senior Brother Zhang, have you forgotten about me? You still owe me a spirit herb!"

Zhang Yuanjing quickly greeted her, clearing his throat and saying, "So it's Junior Sister Su. Junior Sister Su's aura is like a hidden dragon in the abyss. It seems that you will soon enter Core Formation. Congratulations!"

This woman was none other than Su Yuanxiao, Shu Tianqi's beloved disciple. Her cultivation was already at the False Core realm, and her accumulation was sufficient. She was only one step away from the early stage of Core Formation.

Su Yuanxiao's eyes flickered with a sly look, and she said娇声, "Senior Brother's congratulations, are they just empty words, without any gifts?"

Zhang Yuanjing was momentarily speechless. Just as he was about to explain, another loud boom came from above.

The Nascent Soul cultivator holding the spear had condensed the ball of fire at the tip of his spear into a long dragon. Its head flew high, and its long tail lashed like a whip, constantly striking the mountain protection grand formation, emitting a huge roar.

The mountain protection grand formation trembled violently, and strands of colorful light waves gathered from all directions, concentrating above Profound Heaven Palace, confronting the fiery dragon.

At this time, everyone present, including the Qi Refining disciples, could see the extraordinary nature of the spear. This object was clearly a specially crafted formation-breaking weapon.

Yu Tianwan quickly took a few steps, walked to Liu Yuanqing's side, and said in a low voice, "Yuanqing, this spear can attract and gather the formation's power. If we let it continue like this, the outer sect's grand formation may not be able to hold on for long."

The essence of Profound Heaven Sect was all within the thirty-six peaks of the inner sect. As long as the inner sect was not broken, Profound Heaven Sect would be as stable as a mountain, indestructible.

However, if they allowed the enemy to break through the outer sect, it would undoubtedly send a signal to the outside world that Profound Heaven Sect was already at its end, and they were watching helplessly as the outer sect disciples were killed. Once the people's hearts were lost, it would be difficult to reunite them.

Liu Yuanqing nodded, turned to the Core Formation elders, and said, "True Person Tong had foreseen this and made arrangements. Elders, please enter the formation bases of each peak in the inner sect as previously arranged, and work together to control the grand formation. I will stand here, Uncle Yu will control the formation hub of Profound Heaven Palace, and the other elders will follow orders and not make any mistakes!"

The last sentence was spoken in a commanding tone.

The elders of Profound Heaven Sect were all his seniors, but none of them were dissatisfied. They all bowed and said in unison, "We respectfully obey the Sect Leader's orders!"

Ten sword lights soared into the sky, heading in all directions. Yu Tianwan nodded to Liu Yuanqing, turned around, and entered Profound Heaven Palace, heading to the back hall.

"Senior Brother Zhang has been gone for seventy years, and his cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, leaving me far behind! You must have had many opportunities. I wonder if you have any rare and precious spiritual plants? Could you give me one as a congratulatory gift for advancing to Core Formation?" Su Yuanxiao paid no attention to the tense situation on the plaza, approached Zhang Yuanjing, and said in a low voice.

Zhang Yuanjing had some discord with Shu Tianqi in Xue Wang's divine tomb, and really didn't want to have too much contact with Su Yuanxiao, lest he provoke Shu Tianqi, or even Tong Tianfu's displeasure.

Seeing that this woman was persistent, he quickly agreed, "When Junior Sister Su enters Core Formation, I, as your senior brother, will definitely prepare a Xuan-grade spiritual plant as a congratulatory gift!"

Su Yuanxiao heard the perfunctory meaning in his words, her eyes rolled, and she smiled lightly, "Senior Brother Zhang, I don't want a Xuan-grade spiritual grass either. I just need the seedling that grew from the purple remnant root back then. I wonder if Senior Brother has cultivated it over the years? Senior Brother promised me back then!"
