The prehistoric infrastructure maniac

Chapter 174 Yuanshi VS Tongtian
When Wen Zhong saw Zhao Gongming returning with the three fairies Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, and Bixiao at the Yin Shang camp in Xiqi, he was overjoyed.

Then, Wen Zhong, in high spirits, followed Yunxiao's instructions and cooperated with her to set up the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation in the Yin Shang camp.

While they were setting up their formations, Fairy Ice Lotus and the disciples of Jade Void Sect were not idle either. Nüba once again broke the Blazing Flame Formation, Chijingzi broke the Fallen Soul Formation, Qingxu Moral True Lord broke the Red Water Formation, and finally, the Red Sand Formation was also broken by Ancestor Panwang.

Afterwards, Fairy Ice Lotus and Burning Lamp led a group of fellow disciples to explore the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation set up by Yunxiao.
Within the Yellow River Formation, everything was dimly lit, with gusts of cold wind and an atmosphere devoid of life, making it impossible to discern the true nature of the situation. Everyone frowned and became secretly vigilant.

"I didn't expect you, Senior Sister Binglian, to have come to Xiqi. Why did you come to my Yellow River Formation instead of cultivating in Penglai?" Yunxiao's voice came from the formation platform.

Ice Lotus Fairy shook her head slightly: "If it weren't for Junior Sister Yunxiao setting up this Yellow River Formation, I might have already returned to Penglai."

"Elder sister, why bother with all this nonsense? The Ten Deadly Formations have been broken one after another, the Ten Heavenly Lords have been killed, and my Jie Sect disciples have also shed a lot of blood under my uncle's wing," Bixiao said angrily.

"They aided and abetted the wicked, set up a vicious formation, and acted against the will of Heaven; they are courting their own destruction!" Guang Chengzi shouted bluntly.

The Ice Lotus Fairy frowned and glanced at him, then said to Yunxiao, "Junior Sister Yunxiao, it's not too late for you to withdraw your formation and return to the Three Immortal Islands!"

"Withdraw the formation? After I kill you all, my elder sister will withdraw the formation herself," Qiongxiao said, and then released the Golden Dragon Scissors.

"Second Sister." When Yunxiao saw that she was directly attacking Fairy Binglian, his expression changed slightly as he tried to stop her, but Fairy Binglian had already summoned the Northern Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag.

With a hiss, the Golden Dragon Scissors transformed into two golden dragons, rubbing against the Northern Profound Origin Water Control Flag, but they were unable to break through the flag's defenses.

Guang Chengzi seized the opportunity to strike, and the Heaven-Turning Seal instantly grew to the size of a small hill, crashing down onto the array platform.
Bang! Zhao Gongming on the platform also threw out the Hunyuan Hammer, which collided fiercely with the Fantian Seal.

Immediately afterwards, Chi Jingzi, Taiyi Zhenren, and other Jade Void Golden Immortals made their moves almost simultaneously.

Seeing this, Fairy Yunxiao frowned and helplessly summoned the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron, collecting Guang Chengzi and the others' magic treasures one by one. Then she even put them into the golden cauldron, stripped them of their magic power, and threw them into the depths of the Yellow River Formation.

When Fairy Yunxiao wanted to retrieve the Lamp Burner and the Antarctic Immortal, they hurriedly used earth magic to escape.

Although the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation is powerful, it cannot trap a quasi-saint.

“Senior Sister Binglian, I know your cultivation is profound. I have long wanted to discuss and exchange ideas with you,” Yunxiao then pointed the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron at Fairy Binglian.

“In terms of formations, I am certainly not as good as Junior Sister Yunxiao,” Fairy Binglian shook her head and smiled. “However, I am also very curious to know what level Junior Sister Yunxiao’s cultivation has reached.”

"You all go first!" Fairy Ice Lotus instructed Panwang Ancestor, Liu Er, and Bai Qingqing.

However, just as the three of them used their escape techniques to leave, the Ice Lotus Fairy suddenly sensed something and her expression changed slightly.

"Senior Sister Binglian, although my formation can't trap a Quasi-Saint, you don't think I can't even trap a few Great Luo Golden Immortals, do you? Once you're inside my Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, it won't be so easy to get out," came Fairy Yunxiao's voice.

Upon hearing this, the Ice Lotus Fairy's pretty face turned slightly cold: "Junior Sister, you have quite the skills! Then let me experience your Nine Turns Yellow River Formation!"

As the Ice Lotus Fairy spoke, her body was filled with icy coldness, and soon a large amount of ice condensed around her, as if she had transformed into a blooming ice lotus.

"I underestimated you, Senior Sister. I didn't expect you to be able to set up such a profound Ice Lotus Formation so quickly," Fairy Yunxiao said with some surprise.

Meanwhile, the Ice Lotus Fairy, whose auspicious cloud appeared above her head, unleashed a burst of spirit-shattering cones from within it. The sharp aura caused the dark space within the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation to distort.
Outside the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, Wen Zhong, who was waiting anxiously, felt the chill emanating from the formation and the rapidly increasing, violent energy fluctuations, and couldn't help but be secretly alarmed.

"Hiss!" Feeling the invisible chill spreading, and with frost appearing on the military tents and the ground, the soldiers in the Yin Shang army camp felt cold all over and hurriedly moved away from the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.

Before long, a phantom flew out from the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation and arrived at the reed shed outside Xiqi City. It was none other than the Ice Lotus Fairy.

"Fairy Ice Lotus, how is it?" Ran Deng hurriedly came forward and asked. Fairy Ice Lotus shook her head slightly and waved her hand. Pan Wang Ancestor, Liu Er, and Bai Qingqing, who were weak and exhausted, fell to the side. Their magic power was greatly damaged, and the three flowers on their heads and the five qi in their chests were cut off.

"Where are Guang Chengzi and the others?" the Antarctic Immortal hurriedly asked.

"I didn't have time to save them. The Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation set up by Yunxiao was indeed powerful," Fairy Ice Lotus sighed, shaking her head.

"It seems we have no choice but to go to Kunlun Mountain and ask the Celestial Venerable to come down," Randeng said with some helplessness.

As soon as Ran Deng finished speaking, auspicious light and auspicious clouds suddenly filled the sky, and faint ethereal celestial music could be heard. It was the Primordial Celestial Venerable arriving in his nine-dragon sandalwood chariot.
Ran Deng and Nanji hurriedly descended from the reed shed to greet them, and Ice Lotus Fairy also followed with Pan Wang Ancestor and the others, who had just recovered some of their energy after taking the elixir.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Ziya led a group of juniors over, and together they respectfully bowed to Yuanshi Tianzun: "Welcome, Master (Grandmaster)!"

"No need for formalities!" Yuanshi Tianzun waved his hand casually, his gaze sweeping over Jiang Ziya before turning to Binglian Fairy: "Junior Nephew Binglian, as expected of a quasi-saint who severed his two corpses in ancient times, your cultivation and methods are indeed remarkable."

"Compared to you, my disciples are far inferior. It's a pity that their millions of years of arduous cultivation have all come to naught," Yuanshi Tianzun said, shaking his head and sighing, his expression somewhat unpleasant.

“It’s all fate! Now that our senior master has arrived, Liang Yunxiao and his sister wouldn’t dare to do anything to our senior master’s disciples,” said Fairy Ice Lotus.

Yuanshi Tianzun, who remained noncommittal, was about to ascend the reed shed when he suddenly sensed something, his expression darkening as he turned and headed directly towards the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.

"This..." Ran Deng and the others were stunned upon seeing this, while Fairy Binglian's expression changed slightly: "Could it be that Yunxiao and the others actually poisoned Guang Chengzi and the others? How could they be so unwise? Knowing that Master Yuanshi was here, they still dared to..."

"Yuanshi, you're bullying the weak! Do you even have the demeanor of a senior master?" Yuanshi Tianzun had only been inside the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation for a moment when, amidst his angry shouts, Tongtian Jiaozhu, who had suddenly appeared, also flashed into the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation.

Immediately afterwards, the entire Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation began to shake violently, and the surrounding void and earth also trembled. A large number of soldiers in the Yin Shang army camp fled in panic, but in the blink of an eye, many were affected and seriously injured or turned into blood mist.

"Not good!" The Ice Lotus Fairy's expression changed. Seeing that the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation was about to collapse, she hurriedly waved her hand and summoned the Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag to protect some of the Yin Shang soldiers, led by Wen Zhong. However, many more Yin Shang soldiers were still killed by the shockwaves from the battle between the sages.

The battle between sages was earth-shattering, causing the entire prehistoric world to tremble. Many powerful cultivators were alarmed, and even the other sages couldn't help but change their expressions slightly.

Centered on the Yin Shang camp outside Xiqi City, an invisible shockwave instantly spread throughout the entire prehistoric continent, causing countless earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and raging floods in rivers.
Deep beneath the primordial earth, boundless chaotic energy surged and gathered, transforming into a mixture of five elements and other colors of energy that flowed into the boundary-fixing bead, which exuded a mysterious and surging aura like a black hole.

The boundary-stabilizing bead, which had absorbed over a million years of terrifying chaotic energy, seemed to have transformed into a vast and boundless chaotic world. Various energies evolved and boiled, like a stew, even more violent and disorderly than the chaotic energy outside the primordial world.

But this chaos also gives people a sense of order within disorder, as if it is nurturing endless vitality and primal power, preparing for the formation of a world.

Within the chaotic energy, stars, land, mountains, and oceans have already formed. All kinds of energy have condensed into a large number of tangible energy crystals, radiating surging and mysterious chaotic fluctuations and innate aura.

On a vast landmass at the core of the World-Stabilizing Pearl, the World-Stabilizing Daoist, who had been sitting cross-legged immersed in cultivation and enlightenment, suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze revealing a sharp glint:
"Yuanshi and Tongtian have really started fighting! I've been waiting for this day for a long time, and I've been preparing for it for a long time."

"Indeed, a world is like a sophisticated instrument; only when it truly begins to operate will it reveal some of its mysteries."

With a soft murmur, the Daoist of Fixed Boundaries closed his eyes again. At the same time, within the entire world of the Fixed Boundaries Bead, the seemingly chaotic yet orderly flow of various energies quietly began to change.
However, not long after, the Daoist of Fixed Boundaries opened his eyes with a slightly helpless expression:
"Their fight lasted too short a time, and its impact on the prehistoric world wasn't significant enough. Moreover, they weren't truly fighting. However, when the Four Sages gather across the heavens, the commotion will be immense. The prehistoric continent will be shattered; that will be my true opportunity."

Meanwhile, in Xiqi, due to Laozi's sudden appearance, Yuanshi and Tongtian finally suppressed their anger and temporarily stopped fighting and returned home.

However, after this battle, two of the Twelve Golden Immortals of Jade Void died, Qiongxiao and Bixiao also died, and even Yunxiao was almost killed by Yuanshi Tianzun. It is no wonder that Tongtian Sect took the initiative to be angry.

Yuanshi Tianzun was also furious, after all, apart from the deaths of Huanglong Zhenren and Daoxing Tianzun, all the other Yuxu Jinxian had also lost their cultivation, and the Yuxu lineage had suffered a great loss of vitality!

The three sages left, and Zhao Gongming and Yunxiao were taken away by the Tongtian Sect Leader, leaving only the decimated Wen Zhong, who seemed like a pitiful unwanted child. He had no choice but to lead his remaining troops away from Xiqi, where they eventually encountered Yun Zhongzi, who was already waiting for them at Jue Long Ridge.
