Perfection: I have a Tree of Ten Thousand Paths

Chapter 90 Feint to the East, Attack in the West

The battle shocked the world and shook all sides. At this moment, the Xuan Domain was already in an uproar, with everyone discussing it.

Everyone was speculating about what the little devil's purpose was in suddenly appearing. Was it just because he wanted resources?

"Since the Little Demon King has appeared and is wreaking havoc during the Ten Thousand Buddhas Festival, he must be related to the Western Religion."

"Could it be that the little devil has set his sights on Western religion?"

"Of course! The direction that little devil left was right towards Mount Ling!"

The news caused a sensation, everyone's heart skipped a beat, and many forces focused their attention on the Western Religion.

At this moment, the high-ranking members of the Western Sect gathered in the main hall of Mount Ling to discuss matters.

"This little beast dares to commit murder during the Ten Thousand Buddhas Festival of our sect. If I catch him, I will surely tear out his soul and make him wish he were dead!" a middle-aged venerable monk shouted.

"It's the third day of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Festival now. If he really wants to come, it will definitely be in the last two days."

"Hmph, Langhuan Island suppressed my sect's Venerable One, and now it has destroyed Thousand Hands City. He must pay the price!"

"Issue the order that anyone who reports news of the Little Demon King will be rewarded with a scripture upon confirmation; in addition, activate the great formation, and all those who enter Mount Ling must undergo testing."

The Western Christians were furious, their anger flaring. When had their sect ever been so humiliated?

Moreover, it happened during the Ten Thousand Buddhas Festival, which was tantamount to declaring war on them.

For a time, the entire territory under the rule of the Western Church was placed under martial law, and the four cities that were known as the Five Great Cities along with Thousand Hands City were each guarded by three or four Venerables of the Western Church.

Meanwhile, Qi Shi'an had already infiltrated a mountain range only a few hundred thousand miles away from the Butian Sect.

He was currently marinating the meat of a ferocious beast with various medicinal herbs, and then grilling it over charcoal.

"Hmm~. (**)o, real barbecue is marinated with the best medicinal herbs and then roasted over a low flame."

Qi Shi'an ate with gusto, his mouth greasy and his face full of ecstasy, savoring the delicious taste.

A rosy glow emanated from the pot, releasing an irresistible aroma. A group of ancient remnants nearby were filled with resentment and conflict, eager to approach and beg for a bite; the intense scent was simply too tempting.

However, the thought that this young man had so easily killed a powerful remnant species made them tremble and retreat from their forward steps.

These past few days, Qi Shi'an has been rushing all the way to the Butian Sect as quickly as possible. The last day is the highlight of Lingshan, and there will be a lot of people there.

At that time, he can take advantage of everyone gathering at Mount Ling to launch a feint attack and plunder the Patching Heaven Sect!

The Patching Heaven Sect, as the branch of the Patching Heaven Dao from the Upper Realm, has its main core located in the Universe Domain, but its branches in the Mysterious Domain also contain many rare and precious materials.

Currently, the Myriad Trees within my body are growing too slowly. The few fruits on the tree have yet to take shape and remain small, with a long way to go before they mature.

In the past two days, he has also absorbed a lot of precious blood on the road, and many incomplete precious techniques have appeared on the rune leaves, but there is no supreme precious technique.

More importantly, most of the forces in the Xuan Domain are currently focused on the Western Sect's Ling Mountain, so the Patching Heaven Sect is unlikely to have many people guarding it, making it the most suitable location.

As a close friend of Shi Hao, Qi Shi'an could use the pretext of avenging Shi Hao to take action against the Butian Sect. Even if he destroyed the Butian Sect, no one could object.

At night, Qi Shi'an sat cross-legged in a cave, sorting through the treasures he had acquired.

During this raid on Thousand Hands City, countless spiritual herbs were obtained, along with several rare pieces of divine metal.

Upon reaching the Array Formation Realm, the array patterns inscribed within the body require numerous compatible treasures to enhance their power and resilience.

"The Western Religion, after all, has the backing of the higher realms, and its foundation is unfathomable. It is only safe to have six sets of killing formations inscribed within the body."

Complete."

Qi Shi'an now has an idea for the fifth set of array patterns, and he has enough resources to inscribe the array patterns.

He planned to use the Phoenix Treasure Technique as the main element to inscribe a complex killing formation.

The array patterns he carved in the first four sets were all based on the study of the True Dragon and the Nine Nether Pride, creating world-destroying killing arrays. What he lacks now is a composite killing array.

Perfectly, using the True Dragon and Phoenix techniques as blueprints, I created a set of array patterns that are extremely powerful in both recovery and destruction, making up for the deficiencies.

Fortunately, Qi Shi'an had absorbed a lot of chaotic energy in the Void God Realm and incorporated it into the array patterns, engraving them into his flesh and blood, which could continuously enhance the strength of the array patterns.

It eventually transformed into a great formation that rivaled the Heaven-Opening Killing Formation, reaching the pinnacle of its array.

He thought to himself, "If I succeed, I'll be on par with Cao Yusheng in this realm."

Cao Yusheng, having carved the third killing formation of the Heaven-Opening Realm into his flesh and blood, achieved the pinnacle of formation mastery.

Qi Shi'an wanted to create his own array patterns and use chaotic energy as ink to carve a great array into his flesh and blood, ultimately transcending this realm.

Having gained experience from the first four sets of array patterns, he was already proficient in using chaotic energy to inscribe array patterns. The only difficulty was that creating array patterns took a little time.

However, the Myriad Trees have a remarkable effect on the analysis and fusion of original runes.

He has thoroughly comprehended all three major and ten fierce treasure techniques, and he has deduced the treasure techniques on the rune leaves to their fullest extent.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, the Myriad Dao Tree, rooted in the physical body's inner sanctum, exhaled wisps of chaotic energy.

Qi Shi'an was bathed in a hazy glow, entering a state of enlightenment, deducing again and again, the entire cave filled with primordial runes.

As wisps of chaotic energy mingled with the runes, he vaguely saw the opening and closing of heaven and earth.

"Sizzle"

Two enormous figures soared into the sky and disappeared into the clouds, traversing the sun, moon and stars. This was the dragon energy and true fire of the true dragon and the true phoenix, shaking the heavens and the earth!

Qi Shi'an meticulously deduced and pondered, extracting techniques from various schools and fusing them into a single system to create a heaven-defying array pattern.

In the hazy light, the true dragon and the true phoenix looked down upon the heavens, unleashing runes that merged with the chaotic energy, reconstructing entirely new runes.

Then, the runes flickered again, rearranged into array patterns, and disappeared into Qi Shi'an's flesh and blood.

The array patterns evolved to their fullest extent within his body, as if creating the world from scratch, and his body ignited with true fire, with dragon energy swirling around his body.

Qi Shi'an's body turned charred black, yet it was full of vitality, as if a terrifying power was being contained within him.

Finally, all the strange phenomena disappeared, the runes flickered and gradually faded, the array patterns began to shrink and turn into a single point of light, which emitted a burst of radiant light with his breath and flowed in his blood.

His body shed its dead skin, revealing a surface that shimmered with precious light.

At this moment, his physical body was tempered by the Phoenix True Fire and Dragon Qi, becoming as powerful as a crystal golden body.

Qi Shi'an created another complex formation, greatly increasing his strength.

This array pattern combines both offensive and defensive capabilities, and its power is immense when combined with other array patterns.

"The Heaven-Mending Sect, here I come!"

Qi Shi'an's eyes were sharp. It had taken him seven days to break through this time, and now there were only two days left until the end of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Festival, which was the time when all forces would relax.

He conjured a spiritual body and went ahead to the outer perimeter of the Patching Heaven Sect to prevent his attempt to steal their "home" from backfiring.

Another spiritual body is currently in the Western Church, constantly monitoring them.

If the Western Sect sends a Venerable to confirm after the destruction of the Heaven-Mending Sect, then he will immediately move on to Mount Ling after looting the Heaven-Mending Sect.

He wanted to launch a surprise attack while simultaneously feinting to the east and striking in the west!

Western religions have one sacred mountain after another, where the Buddha's light shines in all directions, and the air is filled with mist and haze, making it seem like an immortal pure land, peaceful and serene.

The mountains are shrouded in auspicious mist, mythical beasts roam freely, five-colored deer carry spiritual herbs, auspicious birds fly about, various spiritual medicines emit precious light, and more than a dozen white jade palaces stand majestically.

The foot of the mountain was crowded with people. Some came for the Ten Thousand Buddhas Festival, some came to spar with their peers from Xuanyu, but most came because of the legendary Little Demon King.

Even the three major forces—the Immortal Mountain Sect, the Heaven-Mending Sect, and the Heaven-Intercepting Sect—have sent experts.

Today, the entire Ling Mountain has gathered experts from most of the forces in the Xuan Domain, with no fewer than a hundred Venerable Realm experts and countless King Realm experts.

"This year's Ten Thousand Buddhas Festival has far more people than the previous ones."

"Of course. The destruction of Thousand Hands City a few days ago has aroused the curiosity of countless people, who all want to see what the Little Demon King looks like."

"The Little Demon King didn't say he would definitely come, and today is the fourteenth day, it will end tomorrow."

"What if? Rumor has it that the Little Demon King is cunning and ruthless, and he never fails to capture any target he sets his sights on."

A commotion erupted among the crowd at the foot of the mountain. Everyone was filled with anticipation, hoping that the little devil would really appear; they wanted to witness it with their own eyes.

The situation is constantly changing.

This young man, who stirred up a great storm in the desolate region, has now arrived in the Xuan region, causing another uproar.

People vaguely felt that the Little Demon King might have some trump card, otherwise how could he dare to commit such atrocities during the Ten Thousand Buddhas Festival?

The scene was lively down the mountain, and it was just as bustling up the mountain. The three major powers had been invited to witness the ceremony, but no one's mind was on the fighting arena.

"I never expected that my elder sister would come to witness the ceremony in person. I thought she didn't like joining in on these kinds of events."

The Celestial Fox Fairy smiled broadly, her bright eyes and white teeth, her vibrant red lips, and the several silvery-white fox tails behind her swaying, exuding a unique allure.

The veiled fairy Yuechan said calmly, "The True Dragon Treasure Technique on this demon's body is destined to be with my Heaven-Mending Sect, so I will certainly not be absent."

The Celestial Fox Fairy chuckled, "Sister Yuechan is joking. How can you claim to be destined for each other based solely on the fact that your Heaven-Mending Sect possesses two incomplete techniques? How can that convince the masses?"

"Moreover, I, your younger sister, also want to compete for this True Dragon Treasure Technique."

"Then let's settle this score for the battle that happened several years ago."

Yuechan gave a soft rebuke, and a shower of light rained down, swirling around her, making her appear incomparably holy.

Two stunningly beautiful women stood facing each other on the viewing platform, the atmosphere around them extremely tense.

The crowd was shocked and silently moved away. The feud between the Patching Heaven Sect and the Intercepting Heaven Sect was already well known, and the two sects were destined to go to war, which was a struggle over the principles of the Great Dao.

These two women looked as beautiful as angels, otherworldly and ethereal, but they exuded an extremely dangerous and powerful aura.

The Heavenly Fox Fairy's laughter rang like bells: "Sister, don't be in such a hurry. That little demon king hasn't appeared yet. Starting a battle now would only give him an opportunity."

Yuechan snorted coldly and ignored her.

And so, everyone waited there for a long time, until the arena competition came to an end, but the little demon king was nowhere to be seen.

Disappointment was evident on everyone's faces. They had expected to see the Little Demon King battle the Western Cult, but he didn't even show up.

Perhaps they were overthinking it. That little demon king was just after resources. He had already obtained enough treasures from the Thousand Hands City raid. If it were them, they would also find a place to go into seclusion.

Just as the Western Buddhist Master announced the successful conclusion of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Festival and everyone was preparing to leave.

Suddenly, a divine warship thousands of feet long appeared in the sky, stretching across the heavens and startling everyone in Mount Ling.

When Yuechan clearly saw the shape of the warship, her pupils contracted slightly, because it was the divine warship of the Patching Heaven Sect.

On the warship, a strong stench of blood permeated the air, and Yuechan had a bad feeling.

As expected, a female Venerable staggered off the warship. She was covered in blood, one of her arms had been severed, and lightning crackled around her body. She looked utterly miserable.

"The Holy Maiden—the branch of the Heaven-Mending Cult—was—annihilated—by the Little Demon King."

As soon as the old woman finished speaking, the demonic lightning surrounding her body was unleashed, turning her into a charred corpse.

Upon hearing this, everyone present was shocked. For a moment, the entire Ling Mountain was completely silent; you could hear a pin drop.

They couldn't believe their ears: the branch of the Patching Heaven Sect in the Xuan Domain had been wiped out?

But the Patching Heaven Sect's warship was right in front of them, and there were many corpses on board. Everyone on the warship had been killed!

Even the Celestial Fox Fairy was somewhat surprised to see the ship full of corpses; this was a blatant provocation.

The expressions of the members of the Heaven-Mending Sect were uncertain, and an old man angrily said, "Little Demon King! My Heaven-Mending Sect will surely kill you!"

Yuechan snapped, "Go back!"

No sooner had the members of the Patching Heaven Sect left than other forces followed suit.

This is earth-shattering news! The Patching Heaven Sect has never been breached since ancient times. Is it about to be breached for the first time?

This little devil is too bold! He actually used a feint attack!

At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a straw hat witnessed the farce firsthand and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, revealing a mocking smile.

This person is none other than the spirit of Qi Shi'an!
