I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

"I will obey."

"We must work together to destroy the Sanxi League."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the cultivators present expressed their opinions in unison, saying yes verbally. No one would be foolish enough to offend Alliance Leader Feng and violate a taboo at this moment.

Seeing that everyone was united and the army was motivated, Feng Yuan looked satisfied and nodded slightly.

At this time, Daoshou Liu, who was at the front, also came over and told them his arrangements for the "Twelve Heavenly Sword Formation" one by one.

The chief flag bearer was naturally Liu Daoshou himself.

The three deputy flag bearers were Wei Tu, Chen Tan, and a Taoist leader of Taizhen Temple named "Liu Hu".

"That's right! The chief and deputy flag bearers are both elites of my faction. You are thoughtful." Feng Yuan was full of admiration and did not criticize Liu Daoshou's nepotism at all.

First, Wei Tu and the other two are truly talented and knowledgeable, and have indeed made considerable achievements in the sword formation flag compared to other quasi-gods.

Liu Daoshou recommended three people, who were in line with the principle of selecting people based on their merits.

To keep both sides even requires a high level of political art. If you can’t strike a balance, you might even lose your base. But nepotism at least ensures that your base won’t be disturbed too much, which is a manifestation of maintaining stability.

Although Wei Tu and Chen Tan are now the leaders of the Taizhen Sect, they were also members of his sect before.

The affirmation of Wei Tu and Chen Tan is also an affirmation of the external forces that are leaning towards him.

Not only would the people present not say anything about it, on the contrary, they might even think about joining the Taizhen Sect in the future.

This is a way to subtly strengthen the power under his command.

Naturally he wouldn't object.

"After the war between the two alliances ends, I intend to select three fellow Taoists from the Nine Nations Alliance and use the resources of the entire alliance to help them break through to the God Transformation stage..."

After finalizing the candidates for the main and deputy flag bearers, Feng Yuan looked at Wei Tu and others in the front row, then his gaze lingered on the faces of the other quasi-gods for a while and slowly uttered this sentence.

As soon as these words came out.

All the quasi-gods present at the scene began to breathe faster and their expressions became eager to try.

They didn't think what Feng Yuan said was false.

Even though there are only two Gods of Transformation in the Nine-Nation Alliance nowadays, this does not mean that the Nine-Nation Alliance does not have complete resources to support three Quasi-Gods of Transformation to break through to Gods of Transformation.

In the past, the alliance had offered quotas to support those who were quasi-gods in the alliance to break through to the level of gods.

However, the number of vacancies in the past was mostly only one or two, and never reached three.

Releasing three people this time makes them feel that they also have a chance to compete.

Even though they have complete resources for the God Transformation, the probability of breaking through to the God Transformation is still not high, still extremely low... But this may be the closest they will be to the God Transformation in their lives.

……

After telling them the greatest reward after the battle, Feng Yuan encouraged the cultivators for a while before flying away.

Next, Wei Tu and others, under the leadership of Liu Daoshou, secretly took the teleportation array and headed to the ambush battlefield set up by the Nine-Nation Alliance early in the morning.

"Of the three places, the ancestor should leave two for our Taizhen Sect. You should contribute as much as possible in the Jianyuan formation. After the task is completed, I will also speak highly of you to the ancestor..."

Not long after settling down on a small hill in the wilderness and setting up an array to conceal their whereabouts, Wei Tu heard the voice of Liu Daoshou.

Hearing this voice, Wei Tu was surprised for a moment, and then he felt something strange in his heart.

There was no other reason. At this moment, "Chen Tan" also heard the same words as him.

Obviously, Liu Daoshou said this to the three deputy flag bearers at the same time.

Play the art of leadership as a leader.

"No wonder he can become the first Taoist leader of Taizhen Sect and thrive in front of Feng Yuan."

Wei Tu thought with some admiration.

However, he would not go against Liu Dao Shou. After perfunctorily saying a few words to him, he released his spiritual sense and secretly observed the terrain nearby. He verified it with the geography of the southern region of Dayan in his mind, and determined his location here and possible escape routes.

“So this is where it is.”

After a moment, Wei Tu understood. His eyes flashed slightly and he poked his toes downward. The Soul Refining Banner suddenly appeared under his feet. The flag rolled up and turned into a black light that shot rapidly into the ground.

After a while, the "Five Elements Infant" escaped from the flag again. It used the earth escape technique to lurk deep underground and gradually left the area where he was.

If these small movements were done by other people, it would not be difficult for the cultivators present to detect them. However, under the cover of Wei Tu's divine consciousness, the departure of the Five Elements Infant disappeared without a trace.

Time passes slowly.

The day of the great battle that Feng Yuan mentioned is getting closer and closer.

"That is..." At this moment, Wei Tu suddenly sensed that an old man in green clothes suddenly appeared above the hill and looked at them.

It was only because the old man in green was a Venerable God of Transformation, and he just took a look and left, that Liu Daoshou and his companions who were hiding on the hill did not notice him.

"Could it be that Master Tiegui invited reinforcements?"

Seeing this, Wei Tu's heart was filled with alarm, and he immediately realized that this battle between the two alliances was by no means as simple as he had imagined.

Firstly, if this old man in green was an ally of the Nine-Nation Alliance, he would never deliberately conceal his whereabouts like this.

Secondly, the "Twelve Heavenly Sword Array" that this group of quasi-gods relied on had perfectly concealed their aura. Unless Feng Yuan and the Lord of Bliss knew their ambush location early on, even if a god-transforming master came in person to investigate, it would be difficult to find it for a while.

This old man in green came here and accurately saw these twelve quasi-gods. His behavior seemed as if he came here deliberately to "scout the place".

This means that their tracks had been exposed long ago, and Feng Yuan’s ambush might have been a “game within a game”.

However, the person who set up the conspiracy overlooked, or never thought that among these twelve "Nascent Soul juniors", there was actually a hidden God Transformation Master like him, so that this well-prepared scouting became his own negligence, which led to the premature exposure of the conspiracy.

"With the addition of this old man in green, the situation has become more complicated... But in this battle of transformation, as long as Feng Yuan dies, I will have achieved more than half of my goal."

"As for the rest, we'll talk about it later."

Wei Tu's eyes flickered as he was secretly calculating in his heart.

What is most valuable to him is not the possible relics of the gods that may be obtained during the war between the two alliances, but the resources within the secret realm of the Royal Palace.

As long as Feng Yuan is ensured to die, he will be the only Divine Transformation Master who covets the resources of the Royal Palace.

“Of course, it is also possible that there is another Lord of Bliss.” Wei Tu thought of Madam Xin. Lord of Bliss who had been to the Great Cang cultivation world might also know about the secret realm of the Zunwang Palace.

However, compared to Feng Yuan's strength, he can still deal with Ji Le Shen Hou, the deputy leader of the Nine-Nation Alliance.

……

While Wei Tu was thinking.

The old man in green clothes who left the hill did not go to the Sanxi League, but used the instant teleportation array to come to a mansion in an ordinary city thousands of miles away.

"Master." When the old man in green robe stepped down, a young monk wearing a golden crown and a python robe walked out of the mansion. He bowed and said respectfully.

“Jile, I haven’t seen you for many years. This is the first time you asked me for help. You actually asked me to join hands with you to do this dangerous thing. A battle between people of the same level is no small matter.”

The old man in green stroked his beard, his brows filled with worry.

"Master, this is not an act of disobedience on the part of my disciple. If this is accomplished, Feng Yuan and Master Tiegui will die, and their blood, essence, and cultivation will all belong to you and me, master and disciple."

"By then, you and I will both evolve to the middle stage of the God Realm. Isn't that wonderful?"

"That old woman Li Pozi has always relied on the fact that she is in the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm to bully you everywhere."

The Lord of Bliss chuckled.

He knew his master's nature very well. Just a letter from him was not enough to persuade him to come all the way from the Ghost Shadow Palace in the Northern Territory to help him.

He came here because he saw the huge benefits here. Now, he complained to him just to ask for more spoils after the war.

Hearing the three words "Mrs. Li", the green-shirted old man's face suddenly darkened, knowing that his precious disciple had already grasped his lifeline.

Buddha competes for a stick of incense, and people compete for a breath.

Just to suppress Li Pozi in the future, he had to join forces with his disciple, Ji Le Shen Hou.

"This Feng Yuan, I remember he was pretty nice to you. So, you want to break through and kill him?"

The old man in green asked casually.

Although the relationship between Ji Le Shen Hou and Feng Yuan is not as good as the master-disciple relationship between the two of them, they can also be considered good friends. If there is no huge benefit... he does not quite believe that his disciple will suddenly harm Feng Yuan.

"Feng Yuan is too overbearing. Master, you only see me getting along well with him, but you don't see that the forces under my command are far inferior to his and are suppressed by him everywhere."

Hearing this, Lord Ji Le Shen Hou immediately realized that the old man in green was testing him. He sneered inwardly and said out his prepared speech to evade the question.

This reason is reasonable. The old man in green thought about it and found something suspicious.

After all, his disciple had always had a perverse personality and had killed someone in a fit of rage before.

The only special thing about the assassination of Feng Yuan was that Feng Yuan was a Divine Transformation Master, far from those Jindan and Yuanying minor cultivators that the Lord of Bliss had killed before.

"I see. This Feng Yuan is really hateful."

The old man in green nodded, said something polite, and ended the topic.

The two of them have a tacit understanding.

The Lord of Bliss did not ask whether the old man in green had secretly stepped on the ground before coming because he was worried.

The old man in green robes did not mention the footsteps he took when he got here.

After all, neither of them thought that without the presence of Master Tiegui and Feng Yuan, their traces could be discovered by a mere "Nascent Soul junior".

……

Two days later.

The day of war between the two alliances that Feng Yuan mentioned finally arrived.

Liu Daoshou and others who were hiding near Wanxiu Peak carefully restrained their breath and kept a close eye on the movements nearby.

Not long after, two beams of light, one yellow and one blue, flew over from the distant sky. The faces of Lord Ji Le Shen Hou and Master Tiegui, leader of the Sanxi League, could be vaguely seen.

Following the two beams of light, there were four monks in black robes following closely behind.

"Master Tiegui, this is Feng Yuan's retreat cave. We just need to set up a formation to surround Wanxiu Peak, and then work together to kill him. This time, Feng Yuan will die without a burial place."

The Lord of Bliss said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Master Tiegui nodded slightly, and immediately ordered the four people behind him, namely the four Dharma protectors under his command, to set up a confinement formation in Wanxiu Peak.

Soon, the four Dharma protectors arrived at the four directions of Wanxiu Peak and planted a purple flag several meters in size on the ground.

The next moment, as the four Dharma protectors cast spells, the purple flags shot out purple beams of light towards Wanxiu Peak.

Four purple light beams merged and intertwined in the air. In an instant, they turned into a solid purple light shield, firmly covering Wanxiu Peak.

Including Wei Tu and others, they were also covered by this purple light shield.

However, Liu Daoshou and others were not in a hurry about this.

This is part of the Nine Nations Alliance plan.

At this time, the formation used by the four guardians of the Sanxi League was called the "Four Extremes Forbidden God Formation", which had the effect of restricting the behavior of the cultivators within the formation... but if the "Twelve Heavenly Sword Element Formation" in their hands was activated, the control of this formation would be immediately seized by them.

"Feng Yuan, why don't you come out? Should I go and invite you in person?" Upon seeing this, Master Tiegui laughed, casually pulled out a golden bowl from his sleeve and threw it to Wan Xiufeng in front of him.

This bowl is his personal magic treasure. Although it is very powerful, it is not a killer weapon. Throwing it out this time is more of a test for Feng Yuan.

He had made sufficient mental preparation for this conspiracy with the Lord of Bliss. If he found anything fishy, ​​he would flee immediately and would never fight.

When the bowl of Master Tiegui was shot out.

At this moment, Lord Ji Le Shen Hou also clenched his hands and condensed two gray ghost heads about ten feet in size. They followed the rapid force of the bowl and stabbed towards a certain place on Wanxiu Peak.

The next moment, a huge explosion was heard.

A huge silver sword suddenly appeared in the air and slashed towards the two gray ghost heads.

The gray ghost head was instantly defeated and shattered into nothing.

The silver giant sword continued to move forward without slowing down, and stabbed straight at the purple formation flag in the opposite direction of Master Iron Turtle and Lord Ji Le Shen Hou, without paying any attention to the attack from the golden bowl.

It was obvious that Feng Yuan did not want to fight for a long time and wanted to break the formation and escape immediately.

At this time, the golden bowl happened to fall on Wanxiu Peak, cutting off most of the peak, creating a cloud of dust that concealed Feng Yuan's movements.

However, this little bit of earth and stone was like nothing in the eyes of the two great gods, Master Tiegui and Marquis Ji Le Shen Hou.

"Feng Laogou, don't even think about escaping!"

The Lord of Bliss cursed angrily and escaped into the formation. A gray light shone from his body and his right arm suddenly grew dozens of feet long. A green dagger appeared in his palm and stabbed straight towards Feng Yuan's back like a giant python.

Sensing the attack from behind, Feng Yuan did not dare to attack the light shield of the formation in front of him. He quickly made hand gestures with both hands, opened his mouth slightly, and spit out two black iron-like flying rings.

The two flying rings emitted a bluish-purple glow as they flew halfway. With a few flicks of the finger, they knocked down the green dagger held by the Lord of Bliss, and easily cut the Lord of Bliss's right arm, which was like a giant python, into several pieces.

Fortunately, this python arm was just the result of the magic of the God of Bliss and did not cause any harm to the God of Bliss's body.

However, after this incident, the two of them became really angry and used all kinds of magic spells and magical powers. Their remaining power almost razed the Wanxiu Peak under their feet to the ground.

"Iron Turtle, why don't you come over and help?"

"If Feng Yuan escapes, not only him, but I, Ji Le, will not let you go either!"

After fighting for dozens of moves, Lord Ji Le was already showing signs of defeat. Seeing that Master Tie Gui was still outside, he couldn't help but burst into anger.

Master Tiegui was very unhappy when he heard the threatening words from the Lord of Bliss. However, at the same time, he also felt that the Lord of Bliss' words were sincere and not a pretense.

"Not to be missed!"

After hesitating for a moment, Master Tiegui was finally moved. He summoned his magic power, and with a flash of light, he also escaped into the "Four Extremes Forbidden God Formation".

however.

As soon as I entered.

Master Tiegui suddenly felt as if the world had turned upside down.

The space he was in was no longer the Wanxiu Peak just now, but an alien space composed of twelve formation flags.

The flag of this formation is two meters high and gray in color with a silver magic sword printed in the middle. Under the flag, there is a quasi-god-transcendence monk sitting cross-legged and transmitting magic power.

Master Tiegui knew all of these quasi-god-transforming monks, and they were exactly some of the elders in the inner hall of the Nine-Nation Alliance.

"Jile! How dare you lie to me?"

Master Tiegui was furious. He raised his palm angrily and slapped the sword formation flag in front of him, trying to break out of the formation.

But something surprising happened.

His palm, which could have destroyed mountains and split seas, fell in front of the cultivator under the sword formation in front of him, like a drop in the ocean, without any change at all.

"impossible?"

Master Tiegui's expression changed slightly. He couldn't believe that his palm was dissolved so easily.

If it were another time, he might still have the patience to break this level five formation that could trap him, but at this moment...knowing that Feng Yuan and Lord Ji Le were eyeing him covetously outside the formation, how could he dare to be careless!
