Xiuxian: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 514 Establishing the Way
The swordsman flicked his sleeves, and a five-colored divine light swept away the corpse. The human figure also dissipated and turned into nothingness in the blink of an eye.

After a moment, heaven and earth merged, and there was no trace left in the void, only a few divine thoughts sweeping by.

"That is……"

"Nine Heavens Sword Master?"

"How is that possible!"

"The previous Saint Master of Jian Pavilion was actually killed by someone?"

"How can a dignified Immortal Sect Saint Master be so easy?"

"Who is that person? How could he be so cruel?"

"Demons are rising up in the east and west, and the Central Plains is also in constant strife. Now another Nine Heavens Sword Master has died. Is the world really going to be in chaos?"

"It's a troubled time, a troubled time..."

A few divine thoughts swept by and then hurried away.

The death of a Mahayana master is no small matter.

The Northern Domain Immortal Sect and the Ten Holy Lands, although there are constant disputes, they always maintain restraint and the fights are limited to the fusion. Even if the ancient secret realm is revealed and the Mahayana immortals come to the fore, they only fight for opportunities and not for life and death.

After all, the holy land of the Immortal Gate is very large, and a life-and-death fight will only result in both sides being destroyed, which is not worth the loss.

But now...

I wonder what kind of trouble Xiao Teng’s death will cause.

Jiuxiao Sword Pavilion, the holy land of immortals, will never swallow their anger.

But the man who was able to kill Xiao Teng was no easy opponent.

In this fight between dragons and tigers, who will be the winner in the end?
……

Time flies, and several months have passed in the blink of an eye.

A few months later, they disappeared like a stream and arrived at the South China Sea.

Dozens of lights appeared, and dozens of figures appeared, divided into two factions and six sects.

Jiuxiao Sword Pavilion, Beidou Immortal Sect, and Taixuan Daoyue are one sect.

The Great Sun Immortal Sect, the Five Elements Immortal Sect, and the Haoyu Tianmen are one sect.

In the Holy Land of the Northern Territory, at the Dao Pulse Immortal Gate, dozens of Mahayana masters gathered here. The spectacle was no less grand than the battle between the Ten Thousand Star Sea and the Five Elements Immortal Mansion.

A group of Mahayana monks appeared and looked around coldly. They saw that in the South China Sea, the sky and water were connected into a piece, fairy clouds were endless, and colorful lights were shining, forming a formation.

"This formation..."

"Sure enough, they were well prepared!"

When all the practitioners saw this, they were all awe-inspiring.

"That Li Xuanyuan, is he also proficient in formations?"

"How can you not understand, Heavenly Sword Monk!"

"This formation covers the South China Sea, connecting the sky and the earth. It is extremely vast. It must be a top-grade immortal formation without a doubt."

"A seventh-level upper-grade immortal formation, with a Heavenly Sword cultivator, a seventh-level formation master, in charge..."

"If a Mahayana enters, there will be no chance of rebirth. If a Tribulation Immortal does not come out, who can break it?"

"No wonder they dare to confront Jiuxiao Sword Pavilion, they really have something to rely on!"

"Not to mention this formation, Li Xuanyuan fought against the three vehicles of the Xiao family alone, won a great victory and even killed Xiao Teng. With such ability, who can defeat him unless the Jiexian comes out?"

"Now he has set up this evil formation, and he is in the formation with all the advantages of time and place. Even if a Tribulation Immortal takes action, he may not be able to do anything to him."

"Is this South Sea...really going to produce a leader of a side sect?"

Outside the South China Sea, the cultivators watched and waited. The more they watched, the more frightened they became, and the more they frowned.

Although these holy places in the Central Plains are constantly in dispute with each other, they are always united in their external dealings.

In the Northern Territory’s cultivation world, there can only be ten holy places, not eleven or twelve.

Therefore, they have been suppressing the unorthodox monks in the wild and border areas openly or covertly. The Nanhai School and Li Cangwu are just one of them. There are countless examples and lessons to be learned from the past.

The purpose of doing so is to guard against side doors and avoid the emergence of a true master of a side door in the wild and border areas, a true immortal of the left path, who would establish his own way and become the eleventh holy land to share the interests of the cultivation world in the northern region.

The world is bustling with people, all seeking profit. There are struggles for interests everywhere, and even the "holy land and immortal gate" is not immune.

But things are unpredictable. Despite so many years of strict precautions, something we didn't want to see still happened.

What to do?

"Brother Zhang, when it comes to the art of formation, if Taixuan Daoyue is second, then no one in the Northern Territory would dare to be first. Can you see through this formation?"

"This... I am not talented enough to see the mystery. I can only feel that the yin and yang energies are mixed into one, and there is also the power of the five elements. The mutual generation and restraint of fate has infinite magical uses. I am afraid that it is not inferior to the Big Dipper Immortal Formation presided over by Fellow Daoist Zhou!"

"Brother Zhang is right. This formation combines yin and yang, and the five elements into one. It is extraordinary even among the top-grade immortal formations. It is very likely to be a top-grade ultimate formation. I am not as good as it!"

"Having provoked such a powerful enemy, I wonder how the Nine Heavens Sword Pavilion will end up?"

Although the overall interests are consistent, the Five Elements and Dayi sects still feel a bit gloating, and Haoyu Tianmen also thinks it has nothing to do with it and keeps aloof.

Looking at the other sect, the Beidou Immortal Sect remained silent, the Taixuan Daoyue remained silent, and only the Jiuxiao Sword Pavilion had a gloomy face, filled with remorse.

I regret not cutting the grass at its roots, and I wish I could plow the yard and clean the holes.

As a result, the situation has become a problem and we are in a dilemma.

What to do?

The faces of the cultivators in Jian Pavilion were as gloomy as water. After a long time, someone came forward and shouted, "Where is Li Xuanyuan!?"

Before he could finish his words, a flash of sword light appeared in the formation and transformed into a figure, wearing white clothes as white as snow, like a real immortal banished to the mortal world.

"Li Xuanyuan!"

Everyone's eyes were fixed, as if they were facing a powerful enemy, and they dared not be careless.

The eyes of the Sword Pavilion cultivators became even colder, and they shouted in a stern voice, "You slaughtered our Sword Pavilion cultivators and set up such a vicious formation. May I ask who you are and why you hide your head and face. Are you targeting our Nine Heavens Sword Pavilion?"

"He who kills will be killed. What's there to say?"

The swordsman put his hands behind his back and said nothing more: "The battle is here. If you have the guts, you can talk it out in the battle. If you don't have the guts, you can just go home. What else can you show by saying such scheming words except that you are shameless?"

"you……!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the other party became speechless. The cultivators in Jian Pavilion clenched their teeth, but were helpless.

It’s hard to get off the tiger!

It is a seventh-level ultimate formation that is difficult for even a Mahayana cultivator to break. There is also a Heavenly Sword inside, and the formation master is in the middle, so even a three-tribulation immortal would be a little wary and wouldn't dare to enter without permission.

Although his Jiuxiao Sword Pavilion is a portal to true immortals, there are no true immortals nowadays. There are only a few Tribulation Immortal ancestors. Also, due to the limitations of cause and effect, he is afraid that the tribulation will worsen, so he dare not act rashly.

So, how to break this situation?

But it won’t work if it doesn’t break!

The Holy Son, the Holy Daughter, and the Holy Lord were all killed by a sword. The three members of the family were all intact. If a dignified holy land and immortal sect swallows this humiliation, it will not only lose face and prestige to the outside world, but also become disloyal to the people internally.

If people's hearts are lost, it will be difficult to lead the team.

This is true for the sect, and even more so for the family!
Even if Xiao Teng didn't say anything, the two great masters of the Xiao family were still in the hands of the other party, and their clan had to show something no matter what.

otherwise……

"Bah!"

"Crazy maniac, do you really think you are invincible?"

"I'm here to see how powerful your formation is!"

An old man in black, with angry hair and beard, like a lion, came out with a heavy sword on his back and charged into the formation.

"That is……"

The cultivators' eyes focused and were about to speak when they saw several people from the Sword Pavilion taking action.

"Fellow Taoists, please lend a helping hand!"

The Mahayana monks in Jiange deployed their battle formation fiercely, gathered unparalleled sword intent, and fiercely attacked the enemy formation.

Seeing this, the people from Beidou Xianzong and Taixuan Daoyue also took action, standing outside the formation and attacking fiercely.

The Northern Dao Vein, the six sects and two schools, as allies of the Jiuxiao Sword Pavilion, all had to contribute to some extent. Although it was impossible to risk entering the formation, it was still possible to attack outside the formation and share some of the pressure. Beidou Xianzong, Taixuan Daoyue, and Jiuxiao Sword Pavilion, the three holy places, took action and launched a strong attack outside the formation.

however……

"An incarnation outside of my body dares to enter my formation?"

With a cold word, in the formation, a five-colored divine light twisted like a sword, and killed the old man in black who was as majestic as a lion. As a result, one of the cultivators in the Sword Pavilion turned pale, bleeding from his mouth, and his injuries were difficult to heal.

"You are just a small fusion, yet you dare to shout!"

At this moment, a cold shout was heard, shaking the universe like thunder, and a sword came from the sky and slashed into the formation.

"boom!!!"

With a loud bang, the Heavenly Sword entered the formation, slashing the formation so violently that the water in the South China Sea boiled.

"Tribulation Immortal!"

"This sword force..."

"It's Gong Junxin!"

"The new immortal of Jiuxiao Sword Pavilion!"

"Old Ghost Xiao, are you still unwilling to take action?"

Seeing this scene, the cultivators had different expressions. Some watched coldly, some were secretly disappointed, and the people from the Great Sun Immortal Sect were the worst.

This mess was caused by the Xiao family, so it is the Xiao family's responsibility to clean it up.

However, the Xiao family's immortal ancestor has already gone through five levels of immortal tribulation and is currently facing the sixth level of tribulation. It is a critical moment and he is really unwilling to take risks, get involved in cause and effect, and aggravate the tribulation.

Therefore, only one newcomer from Jiexian Palace, Jun Xin, came.

Although he is said to be a newly promoted Tribulation Immortal, he has been in Tribulation for tens of thousands of years and has reached the second tribulation and third level. However, this person is extremely talented and powerful, and he is very confident before the sixth tribulation, so there are fewer restrictions on his actions.

Although the Five Tribulations Old Ancestor of the Xiao family could not be so conservative this time, he also paid a huge price to ask Gong Junxin to take action. He had to clean up this mess no matter what.

Accepting money and helping others to eliminate disasters, Gong Junxin did his best. He broke into the formation with a sword, causing the South China Sea to boil.

"Give Jun Taishang a helping hand!"

Upon seeing this, all the practitioners in Jian Ge also attacked with all their might, their sword energy flowing like a stream and they bombarded the enemy indiscriminately, vowing to destroy the foundation of the enemy's formation.

however……

"Buzz!"

The formation changed, yin and yang moved, and suddenly a black and white scene appeared. The two fish moved tail to tail, and five-colored lights rose, twisting like swords, washing and sweeping, and falling on the opponent's sword light, causing the sword energy to be destroyed, revealing the original shape, which turned out to be a magnificent fairy sword that was a thousand feet long and wide.

Afterwards, the formation roared and the heaven and earth responded. A ray of sword light shone out, commanding the heaven and earth and controlling people's hearts, combining yin and yang to transform into the five elements. Although he did not have the treasure of merit and virtue or the sword of nine instruments, the holy way of Xuanyuan was also unmatched.

Such a sword, with its magnificent power, carrying all the might of heaven and earth and the power of saintly way, struck down on the magnificent immortal sword with a loud bang, causing the thousand-foot sword to shatter and be tragically destroyed in the formation.

"puff!!!"

Outside the formation, a muffled sound erupted from somewhere unknown, and it seemed as if blood was gushing out.

In the battle formation, Xu Yang sat alone, looking at the illusory sword light, and said disdainfully: "An incarnation outside the body, a cowardly bandit!"

After saying this, he urged his mind to urge the formation, which suddenly changed and expanded outward violently.

"This……"

"not good!"

"Go back!"

Outside the formation, before everyone could react, they saw a divine light shining brightly, like a rainbow, driving the formation to expand, crossing the border of the South China Sea, and trying to bring them into the formation.

Formations are the laws of heaven and earth. Being motionless is certainly the strongest, but it is not absolutely immobile. Many high-level formations have ways to expand, but they are slow, lack mobility, and have many flaws, making them easy for the enemy to exploit.

But now the Five Elements Formation has changed its normal state, and under the guidance of the Formation Master, it has expanded rapidly, and in a blink of an eye it has included everyone. Even the Five Elements Immortal Sect, the Great Sun Immortal Sect, and the Haoyu Tianmen who have been watching coldly were not spared.

"This……"

"Ancestor!"

Trapped in the formation, the sky was dark and the earth was dim, feeling the creation of yin and yang, the power of the five elements, all the Mahayana monks changed color and shouted anxiously.

"Humph!!!"

At the same time, a cold snort was heard outside the formation, sword energy and divine light appeared, magic spells and supernatural powers were used together, and they broke into the formation and opened up several passages.

"retreat!!!"

Seeing this, everyone did not dare to delay and immediately jumped up and fled out of the formation.

However, when the formation was in operation and the five-colored divine light was like a sword, sweeping across the field and sweeping through the caves, some people were still unable to dodge. The protective fairy light was broken and their figures were also engulfed by the rainbow clouds.

In the end, only half of the dozens of Mahayana monks from various sects escaped, and the rest were trapped in the formation.

Run away!
Rays of light broke through the formation, not daring to stay for even a moment, and fled away with all their might.

It was not until they were 100,000 miles away, far away from the South China Sea and back in the Central Plains, that they showed up.

"How could this happen? How could this happen!"

"How could that force be so expanded?"

"This Li Xuanyuan... could he be an eighth-level formation master?"

"Jiuxiao Sword Pavilion, you guys did a great job!"

The cultivators stopped and revealed their figures. They looked at each other who were still in shock, and then recalled what had just happened, as well as their companions who were trapped in the formation and unable to escape. They were filled with shock and anger. The people from the Five Elements Immortal Sect and the Great Sun Immortal Sect even spoke angrily to the Sword Pavilion cultivators who had managed to escape.

The man from Jiange had a sullen face and ignored it completely. He just swung his sword and fled away, leaving everyone else in a rage.

"Nine Heavens Sword Pavilion!"

"Is Li Xuanyuan so powerful?"

"The external incarnation of the Second Tribulation Immortal was destroyed by a single sword."

"That Gong Junxin was really cautious. He only used his external incarnation to attack and did not personally enter the battle formation."

"It is this kind of caution that has caused us so much trouble!"

"If it weren't for the elders who stepped in and opened up a few paths, wouldn't we all be trapped in the formation and captured by Li Xuanyuan today?"

"Hmph, his external incarnation was killed. Even if I don't die, I will be seriously injured. I wonder how Gong Junxin will survive the next three immortal tribulations!"

"So many people have been killed, and one of them is seriously injured. Next, Jiuxiao Sword Pavilion should either ask those old ghosts to come out, or..."

"Who cares about the Nine Heavens Sword Pavilion? What does this have to do with our Five Elements Immortal Sect? Why would they attack people like us who have nothing to do with them?"

"Several brothers are trapped in the battle array. How can we rescue them?"

The Mahayana monks were filled with shock and anger, but they were at a loss as to what to do.

On the other side, in the South China Sea area, in the formation.

The hundreds of sects and schools, as well as the many practitioners from other schools, were all stunned by this result, and it took them a long time to react.

"This……"

"Tribulation Immortal!"

"All defeated?"

Everyone looked at each other, all of them were shocked and speechless.

Jiexian, that’s Jiexian!

Practitioners of unorthodox methods, such as those following crooked paths, can only attain the Mahayana stage at best. After that, they will be restricted in their practice and will be unable to make any progress due to the complexity of their immortal powers, and they will have no hope of reaching the calamity realm for their entire lives.

This is also the reason why the four side sects have always been suppressed by the orthodox sect in the Central Plains. If you don’t enter the realm of calamity and become an immortal god, you will eventually be an ant.

But now...

"In my Nanhai cultivation world, a true immortal will finally appear!"

"Senior Li... you should be the leader of the side sect and be respected in the South China Sea!"

"What side door? From today on, my Nanhai is also the authentic one."

"The Lord is kind and generous to others. He is a virtuous monk. In the past when he was in the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, he did many righteous deeds to benefit the monks in the South China Sea. Now that he has established his Dao, he will surely be even better than before!"
