Chapter 1230 – Pseudo-Array
The attacks from the Grand Taoist Bronze Whiskered’s array caused the Alien Cultivator to be distracted, causing Yang Junshan to be proud of himself. He used the chance to expand his range of action within the Ziyun Peak.
However, as he probed deeper, the doubts in his heart actually increased.
From what he had observed, the surface of the array formation that covered Ziyun Peak did indeed look like a dao formation. However, as a grandmaster of arrays, Yang Junshan’s intuition told him that there was something wrong with the array formation, but Yang Junshan was unable to find anything that he found that was out of place.
He felt as if he had fallen into some kind of misunderstanding, and this misunderstanding seemed to have been deliberately misled by the mysterious alien cultivator, so Yang Junshan decided to temporarily stop contacting the other Circulatory World cultivators outside the Ziyun Peak, and to give up on the possibility of working together from the inside. Instead, he went alone to look for the location of the thunder lagoon.
Somewhere outside of Ziyun Peak, Grand Taoist Bronze Whiskered, Qian Xuandao and the rest were gathered, but Yang Junshan was the only one missing.
“Taoist Yang isn’t here yet?” Grand Taoist Bronze Whiskered frowned and asked.
The others all had different expressions, but they maintained their silence.
The Taoist Yang Bai scoffed and said, “Three months have already passed. What should be here has already come.
The Daoist continued, “He might have gotten lost somewhere along the way!”
After they finished talking, the two of them burst out laughing.
Sang Wuji frowned, and said: “The two of you, there are still three to five days before the Hundred Day Assault. It is still too early to say these things now.”
Taoist Qiu also opened his mouth: “That Taoist Yang’s Accomplishment of Array Path is undeniable, but if we were to come a few days later, I’m afraid that we’ll have to rely on the three of us to break through the formation in the early stage.”
Taoist Yang Bai laughed coldly: “What, without that Yang Junshan, we won’t be able to break through the formation on the Ziyun Peak, right? What a joke! ”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen the Grand Taoist Bronze Whiskered heard this, he said, “Oh, so that means Fellow Daoist Yang Bai already has an idea?”
Taoist Yang Bai’s eyebrows twitched, and said: “Of course! However, everyone from Violet Firmament Pavilion was the first to arrive. I presume that fellow has a better opinion of that Dao Formation. ”
Everyone’s gaze turned towards the Taoist Miao Yong, and Daoist Miao Wu also nodded slightly towards him.
The Taoist Miao Yong coughed lightly, and said: “Without a doubt, in just a few short years, the foreign forces have already constructed a dao great formation on the entire Ziyun Peak, so they must have expended a lot of resources and mental energy. From this, it can be seen how much attention the foreign forces have given to the thunder lagoon, but it is precisely because of this, that the hastily constructed dao formation system will leave behind some flaws, and the opportunity to break this formation is right here.”
The Taoist Miao Yong first said a sentence in conclusion, then said, “Therefore, for the past few days, we have constantly attacked the Ziyun Peak, in order to be able to find his weak points from the Formation System that we have constructed. In reality, we have also found them, but I just don’t know if we agree with Fellow Yang Bai.”
Taoist Yang Bai sneered, he turned to look at Taoist Qiu and said: “Fellow Taoist Qiu, you must have some accomplishments too right?”
The Taoist Qiu laughed: “There are indeed a few suspicious points, but we still have to verify them with the two fellow daoists first before we can determine which one it is.”
“No, why not?”
Yang Junshan was lurking somewhere underground. The spying party was supposed to be at the center of the formation, but he didn’t expect to see the entrance to the thunder lagoon there. Yang Junshan, who had personally passed through the entrance to the thunder lagoon before, was certain that he had not seen the terrain before.
However, this also indirectly confirmed Yang Junshan’s intuition that there waroblem with the formation.
According to the more normal logic of the array, the center of the array was usually the most important object of the Formation System. It was something that the array had to protect or defend, or it was the center of the array’s operation and control.
Of course, this “center” did not refer to the “center” that was on the ground, but the result of Yang Junshan’s deduction of the systematic direction of this formation based on the combination of his current mastery of it.
However, the facts proved that his deduction was wrong, and Yang Junshan was lost in thought for a moment.
“Three flaws?”
Grand Taoist Bronze Whiskered frowned as he looked at the three Grandmasters. “Which of these three flaws is more likely?”
The three formation grandmasters looked at each other, then the Taoist Miao Yong gave a wry smile and said, “After a few days of probing, we managed to deducotal of three flaws in the exterior, or perhaps the weakest link is more precise. There are a total of more than ten, and after the three of us verified and deduced, we only have three left.”
The Taoist Yang Bai said, “These three weaknesses can be confirmed without a doubt, but the three of us have different understandings towards these three flaws. It’s not that we are denying the other two flaws, but we all feel that the weakness that we have deduced is more reasonable. It’s just that none of us can convince the other three, so this is it.”
Qian Xuandao had an unreliable expression as he said, “Could it be that the three of you can’t have a common opinion? One must know that the breakthrough point that the three of you have found is the place where we will be fighting with our lives on the line. ”
The Taoist Qiu sighed, then said: “Actually, all of us believe that these three weak points do exist, and what we are arguing about now is just which one is weaker, and easier to break through to. Sigh, if Taoist Yang is here, then we might be able to help us choose one.”
Taoist Yang Bai sneered when he heard this: “Dao Friend Qiu is wrong. If that Yang Junshan was here, he would probably find a weak link to argue with us.”
The Daoist man’s expression immediately darkened. “So you three are also fighting for the right to be free?”
Taoist Yang Bai immediately tried to defend himself after hearing that: “Of course not, these three locations were only found after the three of us abandoned more than ten suspicious positions. Moreover, once there was a surprise attack, everyone would have to rush to the front.
“If that’s not the case, then that’s for the best!”
The Daoist man with a bronze beard harrumphed and then said, “Then what should we do next? Do you all have any thoughts on what to do next?”
The Taoist Miao Yong gave Miao Hui and Miao Chi a look of affirmation. The Daoist Miao Hui then spoke out, “The five of us in the Violet Firmament Pavilion are naturally together. We also believe in Miao Chi. Junior Brother’s deduction should be correct.”
The moment the Violet Firmament Pavilion cultivator spoke, the rest of the people’s faces became ugly. Although the bronze bearded man was the leader of this operation, the truth was that the five Violet Firmament Pavilion were the small groups with the most power among the twelve. Since they had already made their choice, they would naturally not listen to other people’s advice.
Most importantly, even if they were to work together with the Violet Firmament Pavilion, it would still be difficult to cooperate with them.
The five from Violet Firmament Pavilion were in a battle formation, and naturally belonged to the same sect. With fewer people going, following them was like being abandoned.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIf they met a strong opponent, then it would be fine if the opponent was weak. But if they met a strong opponent, then the combined might of the five of them using Five-Thunder Orthodoxy would be likhunderstorm that could not differentiate between friend or foe. Other than them, no one else would be able to coordinate with them even if they wanted to.
After understanding this point, the Ten Thousand Daoist immediately stood up and supported the Taoist Yang Bai, saying, “This sovereign still believes in Fellow Yang Bai’s deduction.”
At this time, the bronze bearded man also seemed to be hesitant, and could only look towards Taoist Qiu.
But Taoist Qiu seemed to be deep in thought, and said: “Why do you have to choose one? Perhaps these three weak points really existed! “Don’t forget that when we calculated this array before, we all agreed that in a short span of four to five years, even if the foreign forces were to gather large amounts of resources, array masters would not necessarily have the energy to perfect all the details of the formation. This Ziyun Peak covers an area of several miles, and with the addition of the extended region around it, there would definitely be more than one weak link exposed.
The Taoist Yang Bai slapped his thigh when he heard this, and said: “Taoist Qiu is right, maybe the three weak points are all true. Maybe if we can really attack from three different directions, we can really make the alien cultivators on the Ziyun Peak fluster around and do nothing, and that will actually increase the chaos in the entire Ziyun Peak. When that time comes, we can fish in troubled waters, find the tunnel to the thunder lair and destroy it.”
The bronze bearded man looked at Qian Xuandao and asked, “Fellow Qian, what do you think?”
Qian Xuandao laughed: “Actually, everyone has overlooked one thing, that is, if we plan for the worst, these three weak links are all fake. Once we break through the formation, we will immediately be surrounded.
That’s right, even if they were in a disadvantageous situation, if they wanted to kill three or more cultivators with Lightning Calamity above the same level, even if they wanted to borrow strength from the formation, they would need at least five or more cultivators of the same level to gang up on them. Moreover, if they saw an opportunity, they could still escape.
It had to be known that the higher the cultivation of the cultivators, the smaller the disparity between them. Not all cultivators were able to easily kill cultivators of the same cultivation level like Yang Junshan, as the majority of the Great Divine Cultivator s were in a state where they could not win even if they obtained the upper hand, while they could not kill their opponent.
If they wanted to keep all of them here, how many Great Divine Cultivator s with Lightning Calamity s of and above would they need to hide in order to do so? Twenty, is it possible?
The immortal palace wasn’t a fool. It wouldn’t send twelve Great Divine Cultivator s of its own Circulatory World to die for nothing.
The most pragmatic method used by the foreign forces was to expel them, or to block them from the Ziyun Peak, allowing them to retreat.
Now that they understood this point, the originally heavy atmosphere of the cultivators relaxed. Since the worst outcome was that the Thunder Well Passage had not been destroyed, or that the Immortal Palace’s characters had not completed their trials and returned dejectedly to the Circulatory World, or that they were going to lose their lives, then what was there to worry about?
Somewhere in the ground of Ziyun Peak.
After a miscalculation by Yang Junshan, because he could not find the source of the error, he had no choice but to take the risk and move stealthily on Ziyun Peak, attempting to find the location of the thunder well.
However, this time, which took him two days to advance, Yang Junshan made a new discovery.
It was as if he had arrived at a Formation System that was completely different from the one from before. And this new Formation System, according to Yang Junshan’s simple calculations, was actually another Dao-Ranking Array!
A single Ziyun Peak had been set up with two completely different dao formations. Could it be that the current Ziyun Peak was going to be covered with a different immortal formation?
