Chapter 246: Attacking My Protective Formation is Not Allowed
Ding Huan summoned his flying ship and leisurely made his way back to Blue Star Sect.
However, before he even reached the sect, he sensed that the protective formation he had set up around the sect was under attack.
Alarmed, Ding Huan immediately stored his flying ship and swiftly activated his Extreme Shadow Escape technique.
An attack on the sect's protective formation was no small matter.
Just like how he had attacked the Twin Soul Sect's formation and subsequently wiped them out, he knew that whoever was attacking Blue Star Sect's formation likely had similar intentions.
As for Moonrise Sect, he hadn’t wiped them out, but that was only because he chose not to.
If he had wanted to, he could have done so—provided, of course, that Moonrise Sect didn’t have that True God Realm expert.
Now, someone was attacking Blue Star Sect’s formation, and Ding Huan knew that their goal was likely to destroy the sect.
Two hours later, however, Ding Huan began to feel that something was off.
During those two hours, the formation had only been attacked a couple of times, and each attack was terrifyingly powerful.
If he hadn’t invested heavily in the formation, this sixth-grade protective formation might not have been able to withstand the attacks.
Ding Huan didn’t send any messages to Liu Yinzhu or the others.
He didn’t want the attackers to know he was returning.
As he approached the sect, he concealed his presence and slowed his speed.
He decided that once he returned, he would set up a sixth-grade surveillance formation.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t even know what was happening in his own sect.
"Boom!" A violent shockwave erupted in the air, causing the space around it to tremble.
Ding Huan had fought Qi Long before, and this shockwave was far stronger than anything Qi Long could produce.
It wasn’t just a little stronger—it was on a completely different level.
Qi Long was at the True God Realm, which meant that the person fighting outside his sect was at the Human Immortal Realm.
Ding Huan sucked in a cold breath.
A Human Immortal Realm expert! Even if he set up a sixth-grade killing formation, he would still lose.
Before his poison formation could take effect, the opponent would tear through his formations and end his life.
Ding Huan concealed all traces of his presence and quietly approached the outskirts of Blue Star Sect.
Thanks to the Great Universe Technique he had created, and his own genetic spiritual roots, he had naturally integrated the genes of all things into his cultivation.
Even though he hadn’t developed any special concealment abilities, when he hid in the grass, he was as inconspicuous as a blade of grass, with no aura leaking out.
From his hiding spot, Ding Huan saw the two combatants.
One was a short, scrawny man with sparse yellow hair, looking as if he were malnourished.
Despite his unimpressive appearance, his strength was formidable.
He wielded a massive halberd that seemed disproportionate to his size, and he was relentlessly pushing his opponent back.
The other combatant was a woman.
She was beautiful, but her pale complexion made her seem less vibrant.
She wielded a pair of crescent moon blades with great skill, but she was still being overpowered by her opponent.
She was barely holding on, constantly retreating.
Ding Huan’s gaze fell on his protective formation.
A corner of it had been torn open, though it didn’t seem like the attackers had intentionally targeted Blue Star Sect’s formation.
Otherwise, the formation would have been completely destroyed by now.
Regardless of their intentions, Ding Huan wasn’t going to let this slide.
Anyone who dared to touch his formation would pay.
The woman, unable to hold her ground, was retreating toward the Purple Garden Heavy Mountain.
The scrawny man chased after her, his halberd sending bursts of blood mist into the air with each strike.
Two Human Immortal Realm experts were fighting in the Dao cultivation world, and Ding Huan couldn’t understand why.
Seeing the two heading toward Purple Garden Heavy Mountain, Ding Huan quietly followed.
One was desperately trying to escape, while the other was ruthlessly pursuing.
Ding Huan trailed them like a faint breeze, completely unnoticed.
In no time, the two entered Purple Garden Heavy Mountain.
The protective formation around the mountain, set up by Purple Garden City, was like paper in the face of two Human Immortal Realm experts.
They quickly disappeared deep into the mountain.
Purple Garden Heavy Mountain blocked spiritual sense, and even though Ding Huan’s spiritual sense was far stronger than that of an ordinary cultivator, he didn’t dare to extend it recklessly.
In this place, any spiritual sense would stand out like a sore thumb.
Ding Huan followed them into the mountain.
Despite being the sect master of Blue Star Sect, this was his first time setting foot in Purple Garden Heavy Mountain.
The last time he had been here, he had killed Hao Wudao, the Soul Elder of Nine Tones Sect, but that had been at the foot of the mountain, not inside it.
As soon as he entered, Ding Huan understood the significance of Purple Garden Heavy Mountain.
The gravity here was ten times stronger than outside, and it only increased the further up you went.
No wonder so many people coveted this place.
It was not only an excellent location for cultivating the body but also for refining the soul and mastering divine abilities.
No, he had to reclaim Purple Garden Heavy Mountain as soon as possible.
It was a crucial secret realm for Blue Star Sect, no less important than the Sword Storage Mountain.
As he walked, Ding Huan came across nearly a hundred corpses.
These were likely cultivators who had been training in Purple Garden Heavy Mountain but had been killed by the two Human Immortal Realm experts.
After walking just a few hundred meters, Ding Huan felt as if his feet were dragging planets behind them.
The weight was almost unbearable, and his body felt as if it were being compressed, making him feel shorter.
Ding Huan quickly activated the Great Universe Technique.
To his delight, he discovered a type of energy he had never encountered before.
After just a few cycles, he felt the stars in his sea of consciousness become clearer.
He then realized that the Great Universe Technique could channel the gravity he was experiencing into the galaxy within his sea of consciousness, integrating it into the rotation of his own galaxy.
This was undoubtedly the rule of gravity, and the Great Universe Technique had assimilated it.
Unfortunately, due to his limited cultivation level, he could only recognize it as the rule of gravity without truly comprehending it.
His knowledge of the rule of gravity came from the ancient scrolls he had studied, which had given him extraordinary insight.
With the gravity rule assimilated, Ding Huan’s speed increased dramatically.
What had once been a treacherous climb now felt like walking on flat ground.
However, Ding Huan still moved cautiously.
He knew that if a Human Immortal expert discovered him, he would be dead.
He could scheme from the shadows, but a direct confrontation was out of the question.
An hour later, Ding Huan spotted the two Human Immortal experts about a thousand meters from the mountain’s peak.
He hid nearby and clearly felt their bodies trembling.
Even with their Human Immortal strength, the gravity at this altitude was too much for them.
They couldn’t reach the summit.
"You, Changyan Academy, are the scum of the Ascension Realm. Shi Qiqiu pretends to be righteous, but behind the scenes, he’s done all sorts of evil deeds. Your Shi family will face retribution," the woman said, her voice filled with anger and despair.
The scrawny man chuckled.
"Whether Changyan Academy is scum or not has nothing to do with me, Shi Jiantian. Whether Shi Qiqiu is a hypocrite or not is also none of my concern. Liu Yinyu, just hand over the item, and I’ll give you a quick death. Otherwise, you know what will happen—I’m a man, after all."
Liu Yinyu stared at Shi Jiantian in shock.
"You’re betraying Changyan Academy?"
"Ha! Don’t make it sound so bad. Changyan Academy is Changyan Academy, I am me, and the Shi family is the Shi family," Shi Jiantian laughed.
Liu Yinyu took out a jade box and threw it to Shi Jiantian.
"Here’s the item. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other…"
As Shi Jiantian reached for the jade box, Liu Yinyu’s crescent moon blades shot toward him.
However, due to the gravity of Purple Garden Heavy Mountain, the killing intent behind the blades was significantly weakened.
Shi Jiantian laughed maniacally and summoned his halberd.
He had clearly anticipated Liu Yinyu’s move.
Ding Huan, watching from the shadows, was delighted.
In this environment, the two Human Immortal experts were only as strong as Virtual God Realm cultivators.
There was nothing to fear now.
Liu Yinyu, however, was out of options.
She knew she was going to die today.
Rather than suffer humiliation at Shi Jiantian’s hands, she decided to end her own life.
Just as she was about to burn her lifespan to unleash a forbidden technique, she noticed a flaw in Shi Jiantian’s killing intent domain.
This was an opportunity she couldn’t pass up.
Burning her essence blood, she sent one crescent moon blade slashing toward Shi Jiantian’s forehead and the other toward his waist.
Shi Jiantian’s laughter abruptly stopped.
He was horrified to find a vortex of killing intent forming within his own domain.
This vortex wasn’t his, and it had caused a crack in his domain.
Although his divine ability wasn’t completely shattered, he was now facing Liu Yinyu.
Despite having dominated Liu Yinyu earlier, it was only because he had studied her techniques and the cultivation methods of Luo Shen Palace extensively.
Someone was interfering in their battle, and this person’s divine ability had torn through his domain.
Shi Jiantian was terrified.
This was definitely an expert no weaker than him.
If this person teamed up with Liu Yinyu…
Shi Jiantian didn’t dare to think further.
At that moment, Liu Yinyu’s crescent moon blade reached his forehead.
Shi Jiantian punched out, trying to dissipate the killing intent of the blade.
But to his shock and fury, the killing intent he had gathered was disrupted by another vortex, causing his punch to falter.
This time, Shi Jiantian clearly felt a spiritual sense vortex invading his divine ability.
Following this vortex, he pinpointed Ding Huan’s location.
"Pfft!" The crescent moon blade pierced Shi Jiantian’s forehead.
He frantically retreated, but Liu Yinyu’s other blade tore through his side.
This was the first time Liu Yinyu had seriously injured Shi Jiantian in their battle, and she wasn’t about to let up.
Before Shi Jiantian could escape her killing intent domain, her blades struck again.
Shi Jiantian burned his essence blood in desperation, but in his injured state, this was akin to drinking poison to quench his thirst.
Just as he was about to summon his halberd, a terrifying aura of death came from behind him.
Only then did Shi Jiantian remember that there was someone else hiding nearby.
"Take it!" Shi Jiantian threw the jade box toward Ding Huan’s location and turned to flee.
"Pfft!" Blood sprayed as Liu Yinyu’s crescent moon blade completely severed Shi Jiantian’s waist, splitting him in two.
Logically, Liu Yinyu should have continued her attack, but to Ding Huan’s surprise, she turned and fled down Purple Garden Heavy Mountain instead.
