The protagonist is obviously strong but very cautious

Chapter 2807 The Person Time Cannot Change

The blade flashed, raging across the heavens and earth, and Zheng Tuo quickly entered his favorite state.

Not far away, the old man saw this and wanted to stop fighting, because he had realized that the Nine Li Blade was using himself as a whetstone to hone his skills.

A true master of breaking through barriers should not be used as a whetstone by a junior.

Since that's the case, then let me see just how many tricks this little genius of the Blade Sect really has up his sleeve.

hum!
The old man raised his hand and waved it, immediately unleashing a cloud of gray mist that transformed into a gray cloud that pressed down hard on Zheng Tuo's location.

Seeing this, Zheng Tuo continued his forceful attack without further ado.

He displayed his formidable combat prowess, his fourth-level Sword Immortal Technique unstoppable, aiming to shatter the gray clouds completely.

however.

All his attacks were blocked by the gray cloud, and he couldn't budge it in the slightest.

A magic weapon?
Zheng Tuo gazed at the slowly descending gray cloud, not believing it to be a supernatural power, but rather that it was likely a magical artifact.

Thinking of this, he continued his attack.

The blade light remained powerful, but just like before, all the blade light vanished without a trace the moment it touched the gray cloud.

Seeing this, Zheng Tuo realized he had encountered a formidable opponent.

The old man's methods are quite unusual; I'm afraid I'll suffer if I face him now.

He kept thinking to himself and continued to make his move.

However, the situation did not improve at all; instead, the gray cloud hanging overhead gradually grew larger.

Just a few breaths later, gray clouds enveloped the area, covering the formation where Jiu Li'er was located, as well as the entrance to the Great World of the Old Turtle Immortal.

The old man's purpose was clear: he wanted to use this method to shatter the formation and see what was happening inside.

It's unstoppable!

Zheng Tuo's eyes flickered; faced with the current situation, he was in a very passive position.

The blade's light remained powerful, its dominance unmatched, capable of cleaving even a divine mountain in two.

Faced with such a seemingly thin and weak gray cloud, no matter how he unleashed his sword energy or displayed his sword light, there was ultimately nothing he could do to defend against it. He could only watch helplessly as the gray cloud descended and pressed down on the entire formation.

Just now.

hum!
Jiuli'er suddenly woke up from her meditation.

She appeared to have gained a great deal, radiating a powerful aura as she abruptly withstood the descending gray clouds.

Although Jiu Li'er doesn't yet know Zheng Tuo's identity, she knows everything that just happened outside.

She naturally didn't recognize this Jiuli Dao who suddenly appeared, claiming to be her senior brother and also her elder brother.

But the other person felt so familiar, as if I had met them before, and someone I knew very well.

She had very few friends and often secluded herself to study the art of formations, sometimes for more than a hundred years.

The friends I used to know have gradually drifted apart, but this Nine Li Blade feels so familiar to me, so it must belong to someone who is very important to me.

She didn't know the other person's identity, but she understood that the other person was fighting against everyone present for her sake, and such an action alone was enough to make her help.

Powerful array fluctuations emanated from Jiu Li'er. Although she appeared to have emerged from her meditative state, she seemed to be practicing a secret technique, causing the surrounding array to rumble.

With the power of the formation, it immediately helped Zheng Tu withstand the gray clouds falling from the sky.

"She's awake! She's awake! Jiuli'er is awake!"

Those watching the battle exclaimed in surprise, their faces filled with excitement, ready to pounce and seize any potential treasures that might appear.

"Something's not right. Jiu Li'er is clearly awake, so why isn't she coming out? What is she doing?" Someone noticed something was amiss.

Jiuli'er remained seated cross-legged within the formation, her eyes still closed, appearing to be cultivating, which displeased everyone.

They had been waiting here for a long time. This Jiuli'er had clearly woken up, yet she still wanted to cultivate here. It was as if she didn't take them seriously at all.

"Everyone, don't worry, my sister Li'er is breaking the formation." Zheng Tuo shouted at this moment, naturally to deceive everyone present.

"There's no need for him to break the formation; my methods can easily dismantle it. Move aside."

The old man's voice boomed as he called out to Zheng Tuo and Jiu Li'er.

Faced with such words, Zheng Tuo refused to back down no matter what.

In the current world of the Old Turtle Immortal, the Golden Emperor's divine body is just a little short of refining the Golden Fangtian Halberd, and his Dao body is also just a little short of acquiring the Old Turtle Immortal's inheritance.

At such a critical juncture, how could he possibly let the old man interfere?

“Old man, you are so old, why bother trying to do it yourself? My sister can break this formation herself. Why don’t you give it to us younger generation and give us a chance to grow as well? You agree, don’t you?”

As Zheng Tuo spoke, he continued to make forceful moves.

Although his sword energy was unable to destroy the gray cloud, for him, being able to unleash sword energy under such pressure could help his cultivation.

In the brief battle lasting only a few dozen breaths, his cultivation of the Blade Immortal Technique had made further progress, and he was on the verge of breaking through to the fifth level. Naturally, he would not give up easily.

"Since you are juniors, then quickly step aside. I will break the formation to prevent any danger from harming you. Please step aside quickly."

The old man keenly sensed the subtle relationship between the Nine Li Blade and the formation here.

even.

He had already made some deductions, deducing that this Jiuli Blade was the one who established the formation here, and this Jiuli Child was the one who controlled the formation.

He heard that this Jiuli was a direct disciple of the Earth God.

The Earth God is elusive and masters of the Great Dao of Array Formations. With Jiu Li'er's talent and skills, setting up such an array here is a piece of cake.

The more he deduced, the more confident he became that his deductions were correct. So at this moment, he forcefully took action, increasing the power of the gray cloud in an attempt to suppress both of them in one fell swoop.

hum!
The gray cloud emitted powerful fluctuations, descending like a five-fingered mountain, pressing down on the formation and causing Zheng Tuo to tremble all over, making it almost impossible for him to wield his sword energy to fight back.

That old man's methods are really impressive!
Despite feeling immense pressure, Zheng Tuo did not despair; instead, he was filled with joy.

He knew that all pressure was a driving force to make him stronger, and that this was the best time for him to cultivate himself.

Without further ado, he launched a powerful attack, showcasing his unparalleled prowess.

Countless sword energies crisscrossed, ravaging the heavens and earth, and in the blink of an eye, they transformed into a long river of sword energy, leaving those around them speechless.

"What a terrifying Nine Li Blade!"

"A single strike of that blade energy is enough to split mountains and shatter rocks, two strikes are enough to kill someone of the same level. Now, it has actually transformed into a long river of blade energy. This Nine Li Blade is truly terrifying."

"As expected of the Sword Sect, a super sect in the Primordial Immortal Realm, it not only has a powerful figure like the One-Sword Immortal, but also a being like the Nine Li Sword."

Everyone was amazed and envious of Zheng Tuo's wild methods.

Everyone present was a half-step cultivator, respected and revered in their own communities. But at this moment, compared to Zheng Tuo, they all seemed so insignificant, like novice children just stepping into the world of cultivation, filled with admiration and envy for the Nine Li Blade that wielded the river of blades.

Reaching the pinnacle of battle grants divine intervention.

Despite Zheng Tuo's frenzied attacks, Gray Cloud showed no signs of wavering, but Zheng Tuo himself broke through the Sword Immortal Technique, reaching the fifth level.

The advancement of the fifth level of the Blade Immortal Technique greatly increased Zheng Tuo's strength. The blade energy he unleashed became even more domineering and powerful, and it had even begun to influence the arrival of the gray clouds.

"what!"

The old man immediately looked surprised when he discovered this.

He didn't want to be the other party's whetstone, but now it seems that he has become the whetstone for this kid, actually enabling him to break through his own Sword Immortal Technique and reach the fifth level.

The Sword Immortal Technique has nine levels, and those who can reach the fifth level are already very powerful.

With these thoughts in mind, he continued his attack, urging the gray clouds to descend.

Zheng Tuo remained strong, but even though he had raised the Blade Immortal Technique to the fifth level and his sword energy could affect some of the gray clouds, he still couldn't contend with them.

hum!
Gray clouds descended, pressing down on the area where Jiuli'er was, causing it to rumble loudly.

The incomplete divine array trembled, and the surrounding arrays began to break down.

"Li'er!"

At this moment, Zheng Tuo called out to Jiu Li'er, telling her to quickly get away and stop fighting against the gray cloud.

Jiuli'er obeyed and turned to leave the formation.

Suddenly.

Gray clouds descended, beginning their struggle against the incomplete divine array at the cave entrance.

Amidst the frenzied clash of the two forces, Zheng Tuo remained serious and said nothing.

The good news is that the Golden Emperor's divine body has already refined the Golden Fangtian Halberd for its own use, so even if Gu Yun comes, he will not be able to find out the whereabouts of the Golden Fangtian Halberd.

The bad news is that his Dao body is still receiving the old tortoise immortal's inheritance and it doesn't seem to be finished yet. It looks like it will take a long time, and it's probably too late.

Who exactly is this little old man, that he's so annoying?

He considered having his main body target the opponent, but after careful consideration, he decided against it, because he already held the advantage in refining the old tortoise immortal's legacy.

Have something on your mind, but preserve your strength.

suddenly!

He felt someone looking at him.

He turned his head and looked at the pretty Jiuli'er beside him.

Jiuli'er has delicate features and a slender figure, giving people a desire to protect her.

She looked at Zheng Tuo with her bright, beautiful eyes, her curiosity and desire to see the truth making Zheng Tuo feel slightly embarrassed.

He would naturally not acknowledge Jiu Li'er now, because the time was not right, and he was afraid of bringing disaster to Jiu Li'er.

But judging from Jiu Li'er's little face, she probably already recognized him.

Neither of them said much, and they just looked at each other.

"Hehehe!"

Jiuli'er suddenly chuckled, as if she had understood something and couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" Zheng Tuo asked, puzzled.

"Brother, what do you think I'm laughing at?" Jiu Li'er deliberately emphasized the word "brother," indicating that she already knew Zheng Tuo's identity.

Zheng Tuo was also puzzled as to how Jiu Li'er had discovered his identity.

The person I am now is completely different from the person I used to be; you could say we're not even the same kind of being.

He had completely changed himself, inside and out, including his personality and even his appearance. Despite all these changes, Jiu Li'er was still able to recognize him. He was extremely puzzled by this and wanted to know the reason behind it.

During this period of caution, he refrained from asking questions for the time being, but he would definitely ask clearly when he had the chance, because it was very important to him.

The two understood each other without saying a word and continued to watch as the old man broke through the formation.

Despite its incomplete state, the divine array is still a divine array, and now it is showing remarkable resistance against the old man's gray clouds.

"A decent incomplete divine array. Although it is somewhat ancient, the method of restoration is quite exquisite." Jiu Li'er spoke at this moment, relying on the incomplete divine array.

Zheng Tuo's heart skipped a beat!
He realized why Jiuli'er had discovered his true nature.

Could it be that all of this is because the formation is not working?
Back then, he and Jiuli'er studied the art of formations in the library of the Luoxian Sect. They learned from each other and made progress together, thus laying a solid foundation in the art of formations.

Many things happened afterward that led to their separation and even loss of contact.

However, he still maintained a habitual practice in the cultivation of array formations, especially after he came into contact with the Earth God, who passed on his array formation scriptures to him. Although he said he didn't want to learn, he actually studied them word by word.

It is because of this that his mastery of formations has advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching such an extremely high level.

In contrast, Jiuli'er was born with a natural affinity for the Dao of Formations, and she herself was fond of it. Later, when she became the disciple of the Earth God, she should also be practicing the Dao of Formations.

Just now, Jiuli'er entered a meditative state with my help and began cultivating according to my path. It seems that she has already discovered the origin of the Dao of Array Formations.

And within that origin must lie traces of their shared cultivation of array formations. Judging from this, Jiu Li'er must have discovered her identity through this event.

This deduction was completed in his mind almost instantly.

Looking at Jiuli'er, who seemed unchanged but was actually more beautiful, charming, sexy, and spiritual than before, he felt as if he had returned to the era of the Fallen Immortal Sect.

"The art of formations is profound and complex. I wonder who set up such an exquisite formation here," Zheng Tuo said, not wanting to admit that he had set up the formation here.

"Giggle!"

Jiu Li'er covered her mouth and chuckled, amused by Zheng Tuo's words.

Looking at Jiuli'er, Zheng Tuo suddenly noticed that Jiuli'er's appearance had changed, and she was more beautiful than before, but her personality seemed to have remained unchanged, just as before, without any difference due to the length of time or the difficulty of cultivation.

Is it the heart of a child?
He suddenly thought of this and couldn't help but sigh.

The former head of the Nine Li tribe, his junior sister, still retains the same charm and appearance as before.

Time can change a lot, and time also cannot change a lot.

Sensing something, he looked up at the incomplete divine array in front of him, which had already developed cracks and could be broken at any moment.

The old man's gray cloud was undoubtedly powerful. Since the incomplete divine array would be broken no matter what, I might as well just open it and let you in.

In this way, the incomplete divine array remains intact and can still be used in battle.

otherwise.

If the incomplete divine array is shattered by the gray clouds, then it can no longer be used.
