Confining Immortal Formation? Even Tens of Thousands Are Useless
Luo Lan Qing quickly ran out of the main hall.
At that moment, a tremendous booming sound rang out inside the hall.
Bang!
The ground even shook slightly.
But Luo Lan Qing had her ears covered, so she was completely unaffected.
She then shrugged her shoulders, looking bewildered.
"Why don't they believe me? I've never lied in my whole life."
As for the two people inside the main hall, they were dumbfounded.
...
A few li away from Qing Yuan Town.
The celestial sword was currently floating in mid-air, looking down at the ruins on the ground below.
It was deep in thought.
It felt that the reason those senior cultivating experts didn't want these mortal cultivators to come here was to prevent them from disturbing Chen Ping'an.
It also felt that Chen Ping'an had come here to cultivate his heart and mind.
It had never even seen Chen Ping'an use the slightest bit of cultivation power.
He seemed to have truly become an ordinary mortal.
But it wasn't stupid enough to think Chen Ping'an was actually a mortal.
With so many celestial weapons calling him Master, how could he be ordinary?
"That sword light from that day could probably fly all the way to the end of the continent. There must have been many collapsed mountains, so by tracing the destroyed mountains, they would definitely be able to lock onto this area..."
"And here there are also ruins flattened by the secret realm's light pillar, so this area is bound to draw their attention..."
After thinking it over, the celestial sword suddenly waved its hand towards the void in front of it.
Space was sliced open!
A black crack appeared.
It entered inside.
Soon after, it reappeared five li away.
Looking down at the wild forest below, before those cultivators arrived, it unleashed an attack towards the ground.
A sword beam instantly struck down.
However, when the sword beam hit the ground, instead of slicing a large opening, it exploded with a thunderous boom.
The force spread out from the point of impact in all directions.
Soon after, a pile of ruins appeared that was almost identical to the previous one.
Upon closer inspection, one would notice the ruins were nearly the same size.
The celestial sword evaluated its handiwork and felt these ruins were not bad.
The same as the previous ruins.
It then entered the void again and reappeared in another location.
It repeated this process.
In just the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn, it had left many artificially created ruins in various places.
It did this to divert the attention of the other cultivators, so they wouldn't all rush towards the ruins near Qing Yuan Town.
After completing this obfuscation, it carefully sensed the cultivators probing this way.
They were all coming from the east, still quite far away.
The celestial sword once again cut open the void, entering it. When it reemerged, it appeared atop a towering peak.
The peak's summit was flat, having been sliced off by a blade.
There was still a segment of the mountain below.
The celestial sword hovered above this severed mountain peak, its body emanating wave after wave of powerful fluctuations.
It released celestial-level vital force that wildly spread out in all directions.
Now it simply waited for the mortal cultivators to arrive here.
The signals it emanated were so immense that it was impossible for those probing around to not sense its presence.
And before the mountain peak where the celestial sword was located, a large group of people was now probing their way over from the sky.
These people's cultivation levels varied.
The powerful experts moved extremely fast, some even teleporting through space itself.
Those taking the lead were formidable cultivators.
The weaker cultivators could only ride on flying vessels or slowly fly.
And at the very front was a group of over a dozen elders.
These elders wielded considerable influence across the entire continent.
One of them, who appeared quite elderly but had long bright red hair, stood out the most.
This was the pavilion master of the Heaven's Solemn Pavilion, one of the major powers on the continent - Dragon Ao Tian.
Although there were over a dozen other elders of the same realm surrounding him, these elders still showed fear towards him and dared not approach casually.
For they knew all too well just how powerful Dragon Ao Tian was.
Moreover, they also knew how infuriated Dragon Ao Tian's mood was right now.
The Heaven's Solemn Pavilion's headquarters was built upon a towering peak.
But last night, an extremely powerful sword beam had horizontally swept through their pavilion.
Although no one died, the Heaven's Solemn Pavilion itself had been leveled, and this incident would likely cause their reputation to plummet.
Dragon Ao Tian's mood was indeed foul right now.
However, his aim in tracing the origin of that sword beam wasn't for revenge, but to see what kind of existence possessed such staggering power!
A single sword beam carrying such divine might was utterly terrifying!
He had also considered if some treasure had appeared in the world.
If so, being the first to find it could make up for his losses.
But after probing for a while, he realized this direction was towards his hometown from over a thousand years ago, the mortal village of "Qing Yuan Town."
He hadn't returned to his hometown in over a thousand years.
As they advanced further, following the trail of sliced mountains, they soon discovered yet another towering peak had been cut in half up ahead.
But at this moment, they all came to a halt in mid-air, no one daring to proceed further.
Because they sensed an aura that pierced the heavens, running rampant in all directions ahead!
Over there, the entire world seemed to have changed colors, all things falling silent.
They were still over a li away from that area, yet could feel that extremely dominating aura.
It was as if warning them that to take one more step forward would mean being consigned to the bottomless abyss.
"So powerful!" Dragon Ao Tian's eyes narrowed to slits.
He could also see the object floating above that truncated peak up ahead.
It was a golden longsword!
"A celestial weapon!!" The crowd of probing elders all cried out in shock.
"It seems that attack must have been unleashed by it! So there really is a treasure revealed!"
"A celestial weapon! If we could gain its approval, we'd be invincible across the continent!"
The group of elders rubbed their palms feverishly, eyes burning with greed.
But they all knew that wanting it was one thing - for a celestial weapon with self-awareness to acknowledge a master was simply impossible.
A celestial weapon would only choose someone stronger than itself as its master.
Dragon Ao Tian's eyes were also shining green like the others'.
Yet he felt he could obtain this celestial weapon!
Because he possessed a treasure.
The Confining Immortal Formation!
He had found this formation compass in a secret realm many years ago and had been keeping it ever since.
By channeling enough spiritual power into it, it could activate a formation capable of trapping and slaying immortals!
And here they had fifteen cultivators at the Great Traverser realm. If they all channeled their spiritual power into the Confining Immortal Formation, it should be more than enough!
"Everyone, I have a treasure..." Dragon Ao Tian looked at the other elders and displayed the formation compass.
Upon hearing of its formidable power, the group's eyes all lit up.
"Let's work together to use this treasure to confine the celestial weapon. Afterwards, whomever the weapon chooses as master will depend on their individual chance. What do you all think?"
Dragon Ao Tian narrowed his eyes.
After looking at each other, the others began nodding in agreement.
Although they felt Dragon Ao Tian was likely still hiding some information, without his help they wouldn't even have a chance to approach the celestial weapon.
They could only grasp at this slim opportunity!
After coming to an agreement, more than a dozen of them simultaneously channeled their spiritual power into the formation compass.
As for the distant celestial sword, with its exceptional vision it had noticed them taking out the compass.
"The Confining Immortal Formation? Hmph, you can't be thinking of using that to trap me?"
Seeing their actions, it knew what they intended to do.
But that thing was like a mere fly in its eyes - it could destroy it with just a puff of breath. Even tens of thousands of those formations would be useless.
In front of the mountain peak where the celestial sword was located, a large group was now probing their way over from the sky.
These people's cultivation bases varied greatly.
The powerful experts moved extremely fast, some even teleporting through space itself.
Those taking the vanguard were formidable cultivators.
The weaker cultivators could only ride flying ships or fly slowly.
And at the very front was a group of over a dozen elders.
These elders wielded considerable influence across the entire continent.
One of them, who appeared quite elderly but had long bright red hair, stood out the most.
