They went to find the records of the disciples of the Enforcement Hall on duty, but after finishing their duty, the disciples of the Enforcement Hall received a mission to exorcise demons and left the Jade Emperor Mountain Cave. Their soul lamps were also extinguished shortly afterward, leaving no information that could be found.
Then came the sudden collapse of the complex formation on Jade Emperor Mountain, which was powerful enough to trap Golden Immortals; the disappearance of Wen Changshou, an old Earth Immortal whose lifespan was nearing its end, who was stationed in the Hall of Life; and the arrival of outsiders to the cave by Yin Changsheng, who had not left the mountain for hundreds of years.
He became increasingly suspicious of Luo Tian's existence, but all information had been erased. Even the two Yin Clan True Immortals who had brought Luo Tian there received orders to rush to other worlds that same day.
Aside from what he learned from Yin Changsheng, he couldn't get any information about Luo Tian.
Such a bizarre sight led the burly man with the bushy beard to focus his attention on the origin of the event—Luo Tian's arrival in the Star World.
It was only after realizing this timing that the bearded giant discovered that less than half a day after Luo Tian's arrival, the location had already released information about the "anomaly".
This discovery made the burly, bearded man feel as if he had found the truth.
"So... the so-called Yin Changsheng being the anomaly is just a facade; the real anomaly is you!"
The burly man with the bushy beard subtly sized up Luo Tian, a cold laugh escaping his lips.
"Yin Changsheng has been a Nine Tribulation Celestial Immortal for over three thousand years. If she is truly an anomaly, why didn't that hidden, unknown being act earlier, but instead only summoned Golden Immortals to eliminate Yin Changsheng three thousand years later?"
Furthermore, after surviving the ninth tribulation, many powerful figures in the Xuanhuang Great World came to inquire about it, but to no avail, proving that the ninth tribulation was nothing special.
"On the contrary, it was only after this Luo Tian descended upon the Xuanhuang Great World that the hidden being issued a warrant for the calamity that was postponed for ten thousand years."
Could it be that Luo Tian's arrival alone could cause Yin Changsheng, this variable, to affect that hidden being?
Thinking of this, even the burly man with the bushy beard couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
"A mere Celestial Immortal has failed to affect that hidden being who is suspected to be above the Golden Immortal level in the past three thousand years. What can a mere Luo Tian do?"
Therefore, I have every reason to believe that Luo Tiancai is the anomaly itself, and is the target that the hidden being wants to target.
"By killing Luo Tian and offering him as a sacrifice to that hidden being, I will postpone the calamity for ten thousand years."
He swallowed hard, and even though he had attained the Dao Heart of a Golden Immortal, he couldn't help but tremble slightly at this moment.
"The calamity will be postponed for ten thousand years, which is enough to give me ten thousand more years of cultivation time than other Golden Immortals. By then, I may not be unable to overcome the sixth or seventh calamity, let alone the fifth one!"
Their gaze shifted to greed, and beneath that rugged face, the desires deep within their hearts stirred quietly.
"Yin Changsheng? Let others fight over this ignorant fool!"
All I need to do is find an excuse to imprison Luo Tian, then secretly silence him, and I can monopolize this opportunity that's driving the entire Xuanhuang Great World crazy!
Forcibly suppressing his excitement, the burly man with the thick beard chuckled coldly:
"Although Senior Sister Yin is somewhat suspicious, she is, after all, the guardian elder of our Jade Emperor Pavilion. Once the two senior uncles and the Eight Tribulation Golden Immortal have investigated the matter thoroughly, they will naturally clear Senior Sister Yin's name."
But you're just an outsider with no entry or exit records, so I have the right to suspect your identity. Therefore, you'll be detained in the Enforcement Hall pending further processing!
After saying that, the burly man with a bushy beard walked straight past Yin Changyu toward Luo Tian.
Suddenly, a slender, white hand blocked the way for the burly, bearded man.
Yin Changyu looked at the burly, bearded man with an unfriendly expression and said in a cold voice:
"Junior Brother Zong, since when did it become your place to deal with my guests?"
The burly man with a bushy beard looked at Yin Changyu, who was blocking his way, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.
"Senior Sister Yin? She's just an old codger who hasn't even been promoted to Golden Immortal. I only address you as Senior Sister Yin because of your age and the title of Nine Tribulation Celestial Immortal."
Now that all the formations on Yunlai Peak are shattered, do you really believe that without the protection of those formations, you can withstand a Fourth Tribulation Golden Immortal?
As soon as he finished speaking, the black Taoist robe on the burly man with a bushy beard fluttered without wind, revealing the many evil spirits and fierce gods tattooed on his strong body.
Xiangliu, Jiuying, Niutou, Mamian... one after another, illusory figures slowly emerged from his body, and dark auras constantly intertwined behind him, manifesting one ferocious and terrifying Dharma form after another.
The burly man's aura began to surge wildly, and his robust body also began to grow larger. His originally loose Taoist robe was stretched taut, wrapping around his body like a bodysuit.
With one step, the roars of numerous ferocious gods behind him caused the world outside Yunlai Peak to darken almost instantly.
Darkness enveloped the entire cave, and in the endless blackness, a giant hand reached out to grasp Yin Changyu. The slowly tightening hand seemed to want to tear the beautiful fairy in front of her to pieces, and the dark space twisted and shattered under the giant hand.
In the darkness, the burly man with the bushy beard couldn't help but reveal a gleeful, sinister smile, as if he had already foreseen Yin Changyu's demise.
After Yin Changsheng advanced to the Ninth Tribulation Celestial Immortal, the bearded giant challenged him. However, in that battle, he failed to break through the protective formation of Yunlai Peak and was almost captured by Yin Changsheng.
From then on, he outwardly appeared magnanimous, claiming he was completely convinced, but in reality, he always wanted to find an opportunity to get revenge.
He believed his strength far surpassed Yin Changsheng's, and that he was trapped in the formation only because Yin Changsheng relied on external forces, while he had underestimated his opponent.
As a Golden Immortal, how could he be willing to become Yin Changsheng's stepping stone?
He was naturally delighted that Yin Changyu was protecting Luo Tian.
After all, Luo Tian was brought over by Yin Changsheng, so he might know Luo Tian's identity as an anomaly.
If we can take advantage of the situation to severely injure or even kill Yin Changsheng, we can not only avenge our previous grudges, but also block Luo Tian's access to information.
In that infinitely deep darkness, the burly man with the bushy beard finally brought his large hand down heavily.
But in the next instant, the burly man's expression changed drastically.
Because where his large hand landed was nothing but empty space, all his palm touched was a shattered void, and a terrifying storm spread in all directions.
Looking up again, the burly man with the bushy beard was astonished to find that the scene before him had changed.
The darkness shrouded by the "Great Black Heaven Secret Manual" has dissipated at some point, and the cave on Cloud Peak has disappeared without a trace. In its place is a wilderness and a long river that meanders and winds across it.
The river flows with yellow water, winding and turning like a yellow dragon wandering across the land.
"A formation!" The burly man with a bushy beard glared angrily.
The protective array of Yunlai Peak was shattered, and the traps and mechanisms leading from the entrance to the cave also disappeared. It was thought that Yin Changsheng had removed all the protection.
But he never expected that Yin Changsheng would set up an array in the cave.
Are you sick in the head?
"Setting up an array inside one's own cave requires a large amount of resources to maintain the array every day, not to mention that the array itself will also steal the spiritual energy needed for cultivation."
Moreover, if an outsider were to enter and accidentally trigger the formation, it might directly activate the inner and outer layers of the grand formation, sending the entire Yunlai Peak flying into the sky!
"Just how afraid of death must one be to set up a formation in their own home?"
A burly man with a bushy beard rang out from within the formation, his voice filled with anger and frustration.
After venting his anger with a few words, the burly man with the bushy beard glanced at the surrounding environment within the array before speaking:
"It's not a complex formation, it's just a single formation."
I acknowledge your prowess in the art of formations, but do you truly believe that a formation controlled by a Celestial Immortal can contend against a Golden Immortal at the Fourth Tribulation?"
With a cold laugh, the burly man with a thick beard took a step forward, but the next moment the space shifted and he had already stepped into the surging yellow river.
On the banks of that long river, on a huge stone tablet that seemed to be engraved with blood, five clearly visible characters were written.
"Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation!"
......
Inside the cave, He Laodao and Wen Qiuyue felt the space in front of them distort for a moment, and then the bearded man completely disappeared.
Yin Changyu remained standing in the same spot, quietly watching the two of them.
Old Daoist He's expression changed slightly as he said:
"I never expected that Senior Sister Yin could set up an array even in her cave. She truly deserves to be called a master of arrays."
However, my two senior uncles and the Eighth Tribulation Golden Immortal are still waiting in the main hall. I hope my senior sister won't make a mistake."
When He Laodao spoke, Yin Changyu in front of him did not respond.
Upon closer inspection, Elder He noticed that Yin Changyu's eyes were lifeless and his soul was separated from his body, clearly indicating that he was using his divine soul to control the formation hidden in the cave.
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Old Daoist He took a step forward, and a clear sword hum rang out from within the cave.
A clearly visible sword mark appeared in front of He Laodao at some point, seemingly just a straight line drawn by a child on the ground, yet it carried a chilling aura.
Immediately, alarm bells rang in He Laodao's mind. It seemed that there was an invisible sword intent surrounding him. As long as he stepped over that sword mark, this invisible sword intent would materialize and kill him.
His expression froze instantly, and He Laodao looked at Wen Qiuyue, who seemed to be making no move at all.
Although no one could see Wen Qiuyue draw her sword, among those present, only Wen Qiuyue could make this Fourth Tribulation Golden Immortal feel a fatal crisis based on just a sword mark.
A smile tugged at his aged face, and Old Man He began to speak:
"Junior Sister Wen, we are fellow disciples, why bother with this?"
Wen Qiuyue remained silent, as if the sword mark had nothing to do with her.
"I know that Junior Sister Wen and Senior Sister Yin used to have a close relationship, but that's all in the past."
Senior Sister Yin has ulterior motives for approaching you, and I'm sure you know that, so why stop me at this time?
I have no grudge against Senior Sister Yin; I only wish to take her to the main hall. I urge you, Junior Sister, to consider this carefully.
Wen Qiuyue remained unmoved, still holding her immortal sword and standing in place, her aloof demeanor resembling that of a fairy from the moon palace.
Old Master He's expression began to change.
“Junior Sister Wen, although your swordsmanship is divine, I know that you secretly handed over the Tribulation Sword Heart to Senior Sister Yin and let the sword heart be destroyed under the ninth tribulation of the Heavenly Immortal.”
"Having lost your sword heart, you may not be able to defeat me with just swordsmanship. Do you really intend to make such a mistake?"
When Master He spoke in this way, Wen Qiuyue finally reacted.
"Whether or not to go to the main hall to see her two senior uncles is her own choice. I will advise her after she has regained consciousness."
"But if you cross the sword mark, you will surely die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sword mark on the ground exploded with a roar, and the sharpness of Geng metal soared into the sky, splitting the entire Yunlai Peak in two under the sword mark.
It was only a step away, yet it felt like an insurmountable chasm.
Such a sight immediately turned Master He's face pale.
With a wave of his sleeve, Old Daoist He turned around and transformed into a streak of light, rushing out of the cave.
"This is what my master instructed me to do. If you believe you can lead her out of the Jade Emperor Mountain Cave Heaven, then you may proceed as you see fit. This old Daoist will not interfere in this matter!"
Peace returned to the cave.
In the winding Yellow River formation, the endless yellow sand and the surging river constantly shook the many fierce divine forms of the bearded giant.
Using heaven and earth as their array, connecting with the Yellow River's dragon vein, they create their own world.
A chilling wind howled, its chill penetrating to the bone; a black mist shrouded the sun and moon. Drifting aimlessly, shrouded in darkness. A mournful aura soared to the heavens, a gloomy haze blanketed the earth. Souls were extinguished, and a thousand years of cultivation vanished into nothingness.
