In fact, Hao Ren had kept her in Ethereal Summit so that she could control the cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect for him.
When he was leading the troops of East Ocean, he only gave them directions, and the generals understood his command and controlled the soldiers.
Hum! Hum! Hum!
Three light beams of different colors rose from three directions of Ethereal Summit.
Zhen Congming had buried different array disks in different directions. In the previous Big Dipper Constellation Array Formation, he had put the array disk, which was the heart of the array, in Hao Ren’s cave. However, he was using 15 array disks this time!
Some of the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators had studied array formations. They were surprised to see that Zhen Congming’s array disks were made of a material which they had never seen before, and the patterns on the disks were very complicated.
These array disks were probably the array formation devices left by ancient cultivators. The moment that they were buried into the ground, waves of intense nature essence rose.
When the 15 array disks were buried into the ground around the valley, 15 light beams of different colors lit up.
These light beams surrounded the entire Ethereal Summit. Meanwhile, the nature essence in the center of Ethereal Summit rose suddenly, and its intensity was as high as that of the rare locations on Sixth Heaven.
Standing near Ethereal Summit, the cultivators were astonished when they felt the change of the nature essence.
They had never seen such a big array formation which could change the nature, not to mention witnessing the building process.
Three of the brightest light beams connected with each other, creating a perfect triangle where each angle was 120 degrees and placed the center of Ethereal Summit in the middle.
Obviously, Zhen Congming had calculated the positions of the array disks carefully. Otherwise, they wouldn’t fit so perfectly with each other.
Hum! Hum! Hum!
“Up!” Stepping on the black disk, Zhen Congming flew into the high sky above Ethereal Summit and tossed out a perfect-tier spirit stone that was as big as a millstone!
The cultivators from Sixth Heaven had never seen such a perfect-tier spirit stone before!
Its overwhelming nature essence temped them, and they almost tried to take it by force!
The spirit stone was dropped into the center of the valley, and it was the spot where the three light beams connected.
Swoosh… The perfect-tier spirit stone reflected lights which activated the remaining 12 light beams!
Instantly, Ethereal Summit was full of dazzling light while 12 light beams connected with the three light beams in the center of Ethereal Summit, forming light joints.
In the circle around the Ethereal Summit, a huge triangle and 15 light beams appeared.
The reflections of the complicated light beams dazzled the surrounding cultivators.
The Core Formation Realm cultivators felt sick due to the vibrations of the humming sounds which signaled the imminent activation of the big array formation
The 15 light beams began to turn slowly.
The lights turned so fast that it seemed like the triangle was spinning by itself in the circle.
Hao Ren looked up at the high sky and saw different colors flashing continuously, more complicated than the neon lights in the city.
The Nascent Soul Realm masters had never seen such a complicated array formation either. They wondered who on earth this Herb King Master was and why he could build such an array formation.
Their awe for Herb King Master increased as they felt like even the Soul Formation Realm cultivators couldn’t get out of the array formation, not to mention the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators!
Hum!
The triangle lights and the 15 light beams spun for a while and stopped suddenly.
Some Core Formation Realm cultivators felt dizzy and fell to the ground, injured by only watching the spinning of the array formation!
The reflecting light beams formed exactly 150 big light spots and 1,500 small light spots!
Hao Ren pointed at Duan Yao by his side and said, “Tell the Core Formation Realm cultivators to stand on the big spots and the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators to stand on the small spots.”
Waking up from her amazement, Duan Yao glanced at Hao Ren and then made some hand gestures in the air with gritted teeth.
As the daughter of the Sect Master of Sky Mountain Sect, Duan Yao had certainly practiced array formations. When she made the gestures, the 150 Core Formation Realm cultivators and 1,500 Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators took their respective positions.
Duan Yao was cautious with her hand gestures since the people under her control were all disciples of Sky Mountain Sect. If any mistake happened, the cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect would probably all die here.
Despite her determination to leave Sky Mountain Sect, she didn’t want anything to happen to these disciples.
Outside of the valley, the 15 Nascent Soul Realm cultivators placed their hands on the array disks at the order of Zhen Congming.
Instantly, these Nascent Soul Realm cultivators felt their nature essence pouring out from their bodies. Like a bottomless hole, this huge array formation seemed like it would suck out all their cultivation strengths!
The other cultivators near the array formation were suddenly knocked away by a violent force!
Seven Stars Eight Poles Array Formation was activated!
The sky changed colors while clouds swarmed over. The clear sky suddenly turned dark red!
In the valley, the golden shield didn’t dare to move freely in such a big array, and it entered Hao Ren’s necklace voluntarily.
Seeing this frightening sight, Little White also hid in its dog house.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili stood beside Hao Ren, wary of any potential change in the array formation.
If any mistake happened in such a big array formation, all the cultivators would be severely injured or killed at its sudden collapse!
The 15 Nascent Soul Realm cultivators’ Taoist robes puffed up, showing that they had circulated their nature essence to the limit. If they weren’t careful, their bodies would be sucked into the array disks!
However, the situation was out of their control, and they couldn’t back out now.
In the valley, the 150 Core Formation Realm cultivators and the 1,500 Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators were releasing nature essence according to Duan Yao hand gestures, and they were sweating all over their bodies.
Any wrong step or beat probably meant death!
Hearing Hao Ren’s orders, Duan Yao’s smooth palms sweated profusely, afraid to make any mistake. After all, the lives of over 1,000 Sky Mountain Sect disciples were in her hands. If the array formation collapsed suddenly, these disciples would be the first to suffer.
Standing beside Hao Ren, Xie Yujia was also nervous, but she was surprised to see the disciples of Sky Mountain Sect moving in a disciplined way, following Duan Yao’s gestures closely.
“If Sky Mountain Sect didn’t offend Old Grandma, it wouldn’t have fallen so hard,” Xie Yujia thought.
She glanced at Duan Yao, thinking that this girl was quite skillful. Despite her bleeding wrists, Duan Yao was working steadily, afraid that any delay in her movements would kill these disciples of Sky Mountain Sect.
Calmly, Hao Ren instructed Duan Yao how to control the movements of Sky Mountain Sect disciples according to the changes in the lights and the scrolls Zhen Congming had told him.
Hao Ren and Duan Yao worked well with each other. Shorter than Hao Ren, Duan Yao looked petite and cute standing beside him.
The array formation that engulfed Ethereal Summit flashed while it entered the key stage. The 15 Nascent Soul Realm elders who were providing nature essence to the huge array formation were on the brink of collapse.
Zhen Congming used them as spirit stones which transferred out nature essence steadily, but only Nascent Soul Realm cultivators couldn’t support such an ancient array formation.
Seeing that the situation was getting worse, the Nascent Soul Realm masters had to spit out their essence blood and use their natal nature essence.
This would certainly consume their cultivation strength, but they had no choice!
The 15 Nascent Soul Realm masters spat out blood at the same time!
In the valley, the 150 Core Formation Realm cultivators and the 1,500 Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators found their steps getting heavier while they pushed the circulation of the array formation as if they were pushing a huge millstone!
The cultivators who were knocked away looked at the moving lights around Ethereal Summit in astonishment. Such an array formation probably only appeared in the ancient mystical realms!
The 15 Nascent Soul Realm cultivators felt their nature essence gushing out of their bodies, and even their natal essence blood was being sucked out. Just when the three Sky Mountain Sect elders thought they couldn’t go on any longer, the spinning lights suddenly closed.
Bang!
In the valley, the 150 Core Formation Realm cultivators and the 1,500 Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators dropped to the ground suddenly. Exhausted, they couldn’t remain standing under the sudden suppression of the array formation that was created.
Duan Yao exhaled deeply and turned to look at Hao Ren. Just as she was about to smile, she caught herself and turned to anger
The feud between her and Hao Ren would never change!
Not daring to linger in Ethereal Summit, the Sky Mountain Sect disciples rushed toward the entrance of the valley. With the exhaustion of their nature essence, Herb King Master could kill them with ease!
The array formation closed suddenly, forming a perfect spherical light shield. The white light shield reflected the blue sky and white clouds like a mirror.
Very soon, the array formation became steady and turned transparent as if there weren’t an array formation. Ethereal Summit looked mysterious with clouds surrounding it.
After losing 100 to 200 years of cultivation strengths, the Nascent Soul Realm masters hurried back to their respective camps to heal their injuries.
Although they had recovered their realms, they paid bloody prices. It would take them 100 years in seclusion to regain the lost cultivation strength.
Excluded by the array formation, the three small sects around Ethereal Summit weren’t covered by the light sphere. However, with their connections to Herb King Master, who dared to mess with them?
In the last few days, the sects on Sixth Heaven couldn’t find Herb King Master, so they tried to get on the good side of the three small sects as if they were the sects on Seventh Heaven.
With Ethereal Summit supporting them, the three small sects who were doing the trading of spiritual herbs and elixir pills on behalf of Ethereal Summit had become the most famous and important sects on Fifth Heaven.
With the completion of the big array formation, the three small sects stood straighter. However, they were more cautious as well since they would receive the first blow if Herb King Master were displeased with them.
“Humph! Humph!” Stepping on the black disk, Zhen Congming returned to Ethereal Summit, looking smug.
It was his first time creating such a big array formation, and he had done it successfully.
“How powerful is it?” Hao Ren asked him.
Expecting to receive compliments from Hao Ren, Zhen Congming turned red at the doubt of Hao Ren’s question. “You can ask them to test it!”
“Good idea!” Hao Ren wanted to check it. He would have to ask Zhen Congming to build another if this array formation was just eye candy.
He turned to look at the Lu sisters.
“Gongzi, we’ll test it!” Lu sisters understood Hao Ren’s intention and flew out of the valley.
The cultivators who had been watching from a distance were surprised to see two female cultivators flying out of the valley.
When the Lu sisters unleashed their strength of top-tier Nascent Soul Realm, their faces turned pale.
“Attack!”
With a yell, Lu sisters shot out the black and the white bracelets.
The array formation that was engulfing Ethereal Summit shot out a white light and knocked back the Yin-Yang Bracelets.
After catching the rings, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili attacked again with full force.
Bang! After an earth-shaking sound, Ethereal Summit was intact, but Lu Linlin and Lu Lili’s Yin-Yang Bracelets were sent flying by 1,000 meters.
“All of you, attack together!” After looking around at the surrounding cultivators, especially the three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators who had recovered their realms by trading spiritual herbs, Lu Linlin urged them and asked them to attack along.
No one dared to disobey the disciples of Herb King Master. Thousands of Core Formation Realm cultivators and the three Nascent Soul Realm masters all shot out their dharma treasures.
Boom… The fierce attacks would have exploded mountains, but they did nothing to Ethereal Summit. Standing in the valley, Hao Ren didn’t even feel any shaking!
After a while, the cultivators who attacked Ethereal Summit with the Lu sisters became more and more astonished. None of them had ever seen such a powerful array formation!
“The array formation that was built up in one hour is so formidable…” they thought to themselves and never wanted to mess with Herb King Master!
“Let’s stop,” Xie Yujia said to Hao Ren with a smile.
It wouldn’t be good if the violent attacks disturbed Old Grandma who was cultivating in seclusion.
Looking at the dense attacks from the high sky, Duan Yao turned her gaze toward the cold-faced Hao Ren who stood beside her and suddenly felt lost.
