Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 938 Thousands of miles of attack
Ji An's eyes were filled with solemnity as he murmured:
"This is difficult."

The footage revealed that the enemy rarely went out, and when they did, it was to raise sand worms.

These savage beasts are incredibly powerful in the Land of Desolation. He killed the sand worms with ease because his spells were fast and powerful enough.

If it were a cultivator at the late Nascent Soul stage, and their attack wasn't swift or powerful enough, the sand worm would most likely dodge it.

The puppets discovered that the Buddhist formation was always active and the Buddhist monks' patrols were very tight, making a surprise attack difficult.

The puppet has no flesh and blood, and its spiritual energy fluctuations are extremely weak. If it gets close to the Buddhist formation, it will be detected by the sand worms immediately.

Even a slightly strong fluctuation of spiritual energy is as conspicuous as a torch in the dark to the sandworms.

He originally planned to capture the monk who had gone out and search his soul, and then use the Lesser Formless Skill to impersonate an enemy to see if he could infiltrate the area, but now it seemed very difficult.

With an alternative plan in mind, Ji An ordered the puppet to wait in place and keep a close eye on his movements, asked the stone tortoise to help him become invisible, and then made a hand seal to release a golden light that seemed to leap across the ground.

After moving several dozen feet, he stopped and began to examine the images stored in the puppet, a smile appearing on his lips.

During the observation of several puppets, the light emitted when he activated his spell was not strong, giving it a hazy, dreamlike quality.

As the sun set and darkness descended upon the earth, Ji An rode the clouds and soared upwards on a spiritual cloud.

The Water-based Spirit Cloud is black in color, providing natural camouflage in the night.

He continued to fly upwards, passing through the first layer of aura clouds. Flying on this plane would not be detected at all.

After estimating the location of the Buddhist formation, he passed through the clouds and connected his mind with the stone tortoise, issuing the command:

"Invisible."

His body became ethereal and transparent. In this state, he was like glass, and light could pass through his body without interfering with his vision.

Ji An gathered all his spiritual energy and used his blood and qi to condense a 'wingsuit' to begin gliding. He controlled his direction and spiraled down.

His outward appearance now is that of a physical cultivator, specifically a physical cultivator practicing the Immovable King Technique.

He can mimic the shape of owl feathers with his vital energy, gliding almost silently.

Not long after, he landed in a corner of the Buddhist formation with almost no tremor upon landing, as a precaution.

Sandworms are not only sensitive to fluctuations in spiritual energy, but also to vibrations.

A few rows of willows and wild grasses grow sparsely nearby, making it a very desolate and uninhabited place.

He touched the edge of the Buddhist formation, but it was like touching an invisible wall; he couldn't get in at all.

Ji An walked very slowly, carefully observing and sensing his surroundings. About three hours later, he arrived at the end of the Chou hour (1-3 AM).

During this time, all is quiet except for the sound of a gentle breeze blowing and the sand rolling.

He found a desolate and hard-to-observe sand pit, took a deep breath, and thought that now was the time to test his idea. If he succeeded, it would make fighting against Shixiu much easier in the future.

With a solemn expression, he manipulated the golden light that seemed to travel across the ground, and his body flashed through the Buddhist formation. It felt as if he had passed through a layer of water film, and no unusual phenomena occurred.

Ji An clenched his fist suddenly, releasing his excitement in this way.

With the enhancement of the Dao Seed and five top-grade spiritual treasures, the Golden Light Soaring Across the Earth flew faster and more swiftly, and its ability to penetrate magic arrays became stronger.

Not knowing if there were other methods of detection, he stayed where he was and began to wait.

If someone comes specifically to investigate, it means this method is not secure; if no one comes, then he can sabotage it from within.

Ji An remained invisible for three days, and nothing happened.

Every night, he walks through this area as if he were invisible.

Nourished by the power of their vows, the soil in many parts of this area has been improved, and in order to survive, these Buddhist monks have transformed the land of spiritual desolation.

From the perspective of the cultivation world, the actions of Buddhist cultivators are commendable.

More than three months later, Ji An appeared in the central area of ​​the Shixiu territory, gazing at the auspicious and radiant mountain range, listening to the bell tolling in all directions.

During the day, many low-level Buddhist practitioners and ordinary people climbed this sacred mountain in their hearts, prostrating themselves with each step. He could sense a special aura permeating the air, which he believed to be the power of vows.

After staying in the vicinity for a few days, Ji An left on a moonlit night with few stars.

Golden morning light shone on the plaque of Wuji Hall on Chaoyang Peak. Lin Lan stood lazily in the sunlight, feeling happy.

Now that the sect is thriving, there are fewer and fewer things that she needs to handle personally. She only cultivates for a little over an hour each day to maintain her cultivation level, and the rest of the time is at her disposal.

Just then, a rainbow of five-colored light flew across the sky, and she immediately perked up. In the entire sect, there was only one cultivator who could release the golden light that leaped across the ground at high speed—her master.

After her master landed in front of the main hall, she quickened her pace and stepped forward:

"Meet the Master!"

She felt inexplicably nervous because her master's expression was very serious.

"No need for formalities. Immediately notify all True Monarchs and Hall Masters remaining in the sect to come to the Wuji Hall."

After giving an order, Ji An stepped into the main hall, stroking his short beard as he pondered.

Lin Lan immediately took out the communication golden sword, entered the information, and activated it. The communication golden sword, trailing a beam of spiritual light, flew in all directions.

An hour later, Lin Lan transmitted her voice:

"Master, everyone has arrived."

Ji An snapped out of his daze, looked around, and said:

"A group of Buddhist monks are hiding in the Land of No Spirits. They have built a huge city and control a larger area of ​​land than during the last battle."

The sect needs to enter a state of emergency; the protective array around the mountain must be strengthened.

His voice wasn't loud, but it sounded like a thunderclap to everyone. No one expected that danger was lurking on the edge of the Western Continent.

Qin Yan frowned and asked:
"What is the current situation of the enemy? Have you found out, Senior Brother?"

Given the speed at which a Nascent Soul cultivator can fly, it would only take a dozen hours to travel from the Land of Absolute Spirits to the sect.

Ji An gently shook his head, "The enemy's Buddhist formation has been in a continuous state, so we can't get detailed information from the air."

Judging from the enemy's behavior, they have no immediate plans to launch an attack.

He paused for two seconds, then continued:
"Starting today, we will fully activate the mountain protection formation and we cannot let our guard down."

I have devised a brilliant plan to deal with Shixiu, and I will depart for Middle-earth tonight.

A new round of war is about to begin, and the sect must be on high alert.

He didn't think the enemy would attack the sect, but he had to be wary of the undercurrents.

Lin Lan asked with concern, "Master, if war breaks out, should we send our fellow disciples to participate in the war?"

If sending personnel to participate in the war would have a wide-ranging impact, all necessary preparations must be made in advance.

Ji An waved his hand gently, "Not for now. I will persuade others to adopt new combat methods to prevent the situation from escalating as much as possible." He transmitted his voice, "Junior Brother Qin, according to my plan, Golden Core stage disciples will not be recruited, but Nascent Soul stage cultivators are very likely to be recruited. You need to be prepared."

Qin Yan nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

Ji An did not linger. After exchanging words with everyone for a while, he left. He returned to Crimson Flame Peak and entered the small world, immediately circulating his cultivation technique to restore his mana.

After half a month, Ji An arrived at the gate of the Shenmu Sect, having traveled a long and arduous journey. During this time, he had rushed from Xizhou without stopping for a moment, not daring to delay.

In the Spring Blossom Palace, he saw the gray-haired Azure Dragon True Lord and keenly sensed that the other's body was beginning to decline.

Azure Dragon True Lord revealed a kind smile, cupped his hands, and said:

"It's been many years since I last saw you, and you look even more radiant than before. Congratulations!"

He could sense that the other person's aura was becoming more harmonious, and that in a few years another cultivator would be born who could set foot in the starry sky.

It has only been a hundred years since the True Monarch Miaoyou achieved the Three Flowers Realm. If another cultivator takes the final step, it will be a great event for the entire cultivation world.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with the other party, Ji An explained his purpose and recounted the discovery of the Shixiu City in the Land of Extinction.

The Azure Dragon True Monarch's expression immediately turned serious. The cultivators simply could not fight for long in the Land of Severed Spirits, but the Buddhist cultivators were much less affected.

This greatly increases the difficulty of breaking through the Buddha formation, and in the worst case, it may be impossible to break through the Buddha formation.

"This matter is of great importance. I must immediately notify the sect and inform other sects that have Nascent Soul Ninth Level cultivators in charge, so that we can discuss and come up with a feasible solution."

Organizing an army of the same size as in the last war would be extremely difficult. The desolate Spirit Land made it hard for lower-ranking disciples to gain a foothold. His heart was filled with sorrow, and he sighed, tilting his head slightly.
"These Buddhist monks deceived us during the last battle, giving us a huge problem."

Ji An's expression was quite relaxed. He explained his test results in detail, and then said in a deep voice:
"There's no need to gather a large number of low-level disciples anymore. This time, we'll carry out a decapitation strike and gather the True Monarchs to launch a surprise attack on the sacred mountain of the Buddhist cultivators!"

The vows of the Buddhist monks have transformed the land, and our rate of energy depletion within the Buddhist realm is basically normal.

He infiltrated the enemy's ranks and destroyed the Buddhist formation, allowing the others to advance unimpeded.

Without the Buddhist array as a barrier, the high-level combat power of the Buddhist cultivators was no match for that of the immortal cultivators.

Azure Dragon True Lord raised his eyebrows, and all the worries on his face vanished:

"Fellow Daoist's plan is highly feasible. If it is so, everyone can quickly gather together."

Without having to send low-ranking disciples to fight, the True Lords of each sect can stick together for mutual support, making the war much easier.

Ji An nodded slightly and then said:

"To avoid any unforeseen complications, please inform all the Nascent Soul level sects as soon as possible."

"No problem, that's what I think too."

Azure Dragon True Lord responded, coughing twice, and solemnly said:
"Fellow Daoist said that the only way to pass through the mountain-protecting formation is to do so. Could you demonstrate that?"

Everything was predicated on the premise that the other party could break into the Buddhist formation silently; he needed to witness it with his own eyes to feel at ease.

"of course can."

Azure Dragon True Lord replied, saying:
"Very well, I will fully activate the mountain-protecting formation. Please show me your skills, fellow Daoist."

He took out several golden communication swords, entered the information, activated them, and then stood up, stretching out his arms and saying:
"Daoyou, please."

The two flew to the outside of the Divine Wood Sect's mountain gate. Not long after, Azure Dragon True Monarch received the signal and said in a deep voice:

"Fellow Daoist Xuanqing, please perform the spell."

If the enemy can actually get through the mountain-protecting formation, it will be a huge advantage for the upcoming war, but the situation will be less than ideal for the various sects.

Ji An immediately activated his magic power, made a hand seal to release golden light that seemed to leap across the ground, and appeared inside the Shenmu Sect's mountain gate in the next moment.

He felt as if he were passing through solid rock, facing immense resistance as he flew, but fortunately, he made it through without any mishaps.

Azure Dragon True Monarch's eyes widened, his gaze filled with boundless joy, and he felt much more confident in mobilizing other sects to send True Monarchs to participate in the battle.

He shouted, and then yelled:
"Fellow Daoist, please cast the spell again to pass through the magic array."

Two months later, tonight the sky is overcast with no moon or stars.

A group of Nascent Soul True Monarchs rode on water-based spiritual clouds, flying at high speed above the first layer of aura clouds.

The Central Continent dispatched more than thirty late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, including twelve ninth-level Nascent Soul cultivators. Familiar figures such as True Monarch Xuanxiao, True Monarch Qingyang, True Monarch Juque, and True Monarch Qingluan were also present.

In addition, nearly two hundred Nascent Soul stage and mid-stage True Monarchs followed.

The monks landed at the edge of the Buddhist formation, not far from a temple that served as a node in the formation.

Azure Dragon True Lord cupped his hands and said:

"Fellow Daoist Xuanqing, it's time to see your performance."

The sand worms raised by the Buddhist monks patrolled the outer perimeter, making the edge of the Buddhist formation a 'safe zone'.

Ji An smiled slightly, "Everyone, wait for my good news."

He arrived at a place where he could hide from everyone's view, connected with the stone tortoise with his mind, and released a golden light that seemed to leap across the ground after his body became invisible.

Upon entering the Buddhist formation, he immediately activated the Lesser Formless Skill, transforming into the appearance of a body cultivator, his body becoming tall and robust under deliberate control.

He made no attempt to conceal his presence and used his inner energy to break into the temple.

Whether it's a Buddhist formation or a magic formation, its internal defenses are very limited.

The abbot of the temple was only at the Golden Core level, and his soul was immediately searched after he was captured.

Ji An obtained the information he wanted. He first destroyed the teleportation array to prevent the enemy from providing immediate support, and then destroyed the golden Buddha statue, which served as a key node.

Having done all this, he immediately activated the golden light that leaped across the ground and flew towards the inner Buddhist formation, without any fear of alerting the enemy.

The task now is to race against time and bring the enemy to the city gates before they can mount an effective counterattack.

The cultivators saw the golden Buddhist light flash a few times before shattering into a sky full of radiant light.

Xuanxiao Zhenjun laughed twice and said:

“Fellow Daoist Xuanqing always brings us surprises. If we could have done this during the last war, we would have saved a huge amount of resources.”

Azure Dragon True Lord nodded.

Juque Zhenjun curled his lip, "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up, let's keep up with the pace."

The cultivators rode the water-based spiritual clouds and sped away. No one bothered to conceal their whereabouts anymore; all they needed to do was fly fast enough.

Ji An sped along unimpeded, and in just half an hour, he tore apart the five lotus-shaped demon-subduing formations that the Buddhist monks had spent hundreds of years building.

He stood on the roof of the temple, where six Nascent Soul Stage 9 cultivators were the first to arrive.

"Fellow Daoists, the sacred mountain of the Buddhist cultivators is just fifty miles ahead! Tomorrow we will be able to brew tea with lotus flowers."
