Cultivation begins in Qingfeng Market.

Pei Yue took out a formation diagram, along with nine formation plates and three hundred and sixty-five formation flags suspended in the air, shimmering with light and densely packed with runes; looking at them for too long made one feel dizzy.

Lin Zhao raised an eyebrow. Pei Yue had even borrowed this.

Zhou Tian Zhen Ling Array.

This is a large-scale, third-tier formation; when fully deployed, it can cover an area of ​​over a hundred miles.

Back when the sect held its first major examination, they relied on this formation to slowly wear down a third-tier demonic beast with a large number of Qi Refining Foundation Establishment cultivators.

At that time, there were only array plates and array flags, but no array diagram. My cultivation was weak then, so I thought it was just an ordinary third-tier array. Now, looking at it again, it is clearly a top-grade third-tier array.

Now that their cultivation is stronger and they have the assistance of the array diagram, the Zhou Tian Zhen Ling Array can exert even greater power.

The formation consists of nine Core Formation masters. Within a range of over a hundred miles, countless dazzling pillars of starlight rise from the ground, connecting with the faint phantoms of stars appearing in the sky, forming a complex and magnificent giant light shield.

The formation resembled an inverted giant bowl, and even during the day, it continued to draw upon the spiritual energy of the stars.

But that's not enough. This formation can only barely hold off Nascent Soul cultivators. To defeat or even kill them is simply a pipe dream.

This is just the tactic used on the surface.

The core lies in Yan Feng's Nine Dragons Burning Heaven Seal. This magic weapon is a formation magic weapon that can unfold a fire-type formation covering three hundred miles. When the nine dragons emerge together, they burn everything within the formation.

The key to trapping the Nascent Soul lies in the two major formations, one bright and one dark.

Of course, Pei Yue had been preparing for the hunt for Nascent Soul cultivators for decades, and his preparations went far beyond this. He also borrowed some war artifacts from his sect.

He took out a Golden Sun Magic Treasure covered with countless golden patterns, five Silver Moon Magic Treasures, all silver-white, and twelve white star-shaped Magic Treasures.

As soon as the Golden Sun Magic Treasure was unleashed, the surrounding light seemed to be drawn away, and the space froze for a moment.

The silver moon hung in the sky, its cool, moonlit light casting a pale glow on everyone's faces.

Lin Zhao said, "I have seen a fellow disciple's magic weapon, the Zhou Tian Star Tower, which has a golden sun, a silver moon, and a white star on it. Its power is considerable."

Pei Yue nodded: "They all cultivate the Way of Planets and Stars, and many of their magical treasures are similar, but this set is a war magical treasure, or more precisely, part of a whole set of massive war magical treasures."

He pointed to the Golden Sun Magic Treasure: "I went to great lengths to borrow this fourth-tier war magic treasure from the sect. It can suppress a space within a thousand miles, preventing Nascent Soul cultivators from escaping into the void and teleporting."

He then pointed to the Silver Moon Magic Treasure: "We all have such war magic treasures at the foot of our True Inheritance Peak. I only took it out of the sect after obtaining the certificate."

It can gather the mana and array power of cultivators to form five silver moon dharma images. When a Nascent Soul cultivator unleashes their full power, it can cover an area of ​​hundreds of miles, transforming attributes to form a dharma image space.

He paused for a moment: "The Core Formation Domain is actually very vulnerable to the Nascent Soul, but the Dharma Image formed by these five silver moons is not afraid of attribute conversion and can confront the Nascent Soul head-on."

Pei Yue then pointed to the white star: "It can connect a cultivator's mana and divine sense together, corresponding to the instantaneous burst of power of the Nascent Soul. When the Nascent Soul's divine sense takes form, its instantaneous burst of power far exceeds that of the Core Formation stage. This magic weapon can enhance the speed of our divine sense's operation."

Lin Zhao tried it out. After connecting with Bai Chen with her divine sense, she felt exceptionally light and agile. Her body reacted as soon as the thought arose.

He glanced at Yan Feng, who nodded, clearly sharing the same sentiment.

Pei Yue activated his magic weapon.

The golden sun hung high in the sky, creating a special space. Five silver moons flew in five directions and embedded themselves in the void. Twelve white stars, each the size of a fist, were scattered among the crowd, forming a distorted light curtain that isolated them from the outside world.

This place is invisible from the outside; it's essentially a spatial interlayer.

Lin Zhao tried it, but this special space seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force, and his teleportation technique was directly locked.

Pei Yue took a deep breath and said, "As long as the Golden Sun remains, the Dharma Net will not be destroyed. The Silver Moon will condense into a Dharma Image to share the attack. Bai Chen will have us move and dodge within the Dharma Net."

This formation exists to bridge the power gap between Core Formation and Nascent Soul cultivators.

He paused for a moment: "This complete formation is called the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Locking God Formation."

It consists of thirty-six golden suns, one hundred and eight silver moons, and three hundred and sixty-five white stars. It is a fifth-order auxiliary formation, specifically created for Nascent Soul cultivators of sects to hunt down Nascent Soul cultivators.

He shrugged: "This is a minor circulation formation, but it's enough to deal with a Loulan True Monarch who has only formed his Nascent Soul less than a hundred years ago."

A few days later, the True Lord of Loulan arrived.

He arrived without any attempt to conceal himself, and an extremely powerful spiritual pressure swept over from afar.

The clouds on the horizon were pushed aside by an invisible force, and the dust on the ground rolled to both sides along the ground.

Everyone in the formation looked up at the same time, and Pei Yue said in a low voice, "They're here."

For hundreds of miles around, all sounds fell silent. The wind stopped, the sand stood still, and only a terrifying pressure, growing ever closer, pressed down on us like a moving mountain.

The person arrived before the voice.

"A bunch of ants, how dare they!"

A streak of gray-white light appeared on the horizon, as if tearing a hole in the sky, and arrived in a few flashes.

The Zhou Tian Zhen Ling Array suddenly lit up, with pillars of starlight shooting into the sky and the array booming.

Countless starlight transformed into tens of thousands of solid chains, bursting forth from all directions and wrapping around the figure, attempting to drag him into the formation.

Loulan Zhenjun was forced to stop his escape.

He was an extremely thin man, wearing a gray-white Taoist robe, his hair held back with a wooden hairpin, his cheeks sunken, like a stone statue dried in the desert.

With a wave of his sleeve, a gray-white light curtain appeared in front of him. The starlight chains struck it, producing a crisp sound like metal clashing, before being bounced back and broken into countless beams of light.

"court death."

Loulan Zhenjun snorted coldly and raised his hand to strike down.

A giant, grayish-white hand appeared out of thin air, measuring a hundred feet in size, with lines on its palm so clear that every groove could be seen.

Before the giant hand even landed, a palm print had already been left in the ground.

boom.

The Zhou Tian Zhen Ling Array trembled violently, and starlight scattered everywhere.

The palm print struck the formation, and the formation cracked like a glass bowl struck by a giant hammer; cracks appeared all over the light barrier, half of the star pillars went out, and starlight scattered.

The ground sank with a roar, and the sand dunes within a radius of dozens of miles were directly blown away by the shock wave. The starlight of the array within a radius of a hundred miles was extinguished by this palm strike.

The nine Core Formation cultivators below, who were in charge of the formation, groaned simultaneously, their faces turning pale. Two of them even swayed, blood seeping from the corners of their mouths.

"He has some skill."

Loulan Zhenjun withdrew his hand, his voice indifferent.

He tapped his hands repeatedly, and streaks of gray-white light precisely struck the nodes of the formation.

The barrier of the Zhou Tian Zhen Ling Array was blasted open, and the nine Core Formation cultivators below were frantically trying to repair the array.

Inside the spatial interlayer, Lin Zhao and the others showed no reaction.
