Honghuang: Creation of the Green Lotus, the beginning of the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 359 This formation has a flaw
No sooner had Qin Tianjun finished speaking than Zhao Tianjun, Zhao Jiang, stepped forward. He first bowed to Ji Fa, and then began to speak.

"I am Zhao Jiang, one of the Ten Heavenly Lords of Jin'ao Island. The great formation I have set up today is called the Earthly Fiery Formation."

"The Earthly Fiery Formation also follows the principles of the earth, containing a solid and dense structure within, and displaying a lively and wondrous appearance on the outside. It is ever-changing, with a red banner hidden inside. When it is activated, thunder roars above and fire ignites below. Even if you are a Great Luo Golden Immortal and enter this formation, even if you possess the wondrous arts of the Five Elements, how can you escape this calamity? There is no possibility of resurrection."

"As the saying goes, the Earthly Fiery Formation is full of hidden wonders, with thunder above and fire below showing no mercy. Even with the Five Elements Divine Arts, one cannot escape the disintegration of bones and the collapse of form."

As Zhao Tianjun explained the Earthly Fiery Array he had set up, an array diagram flew out of his hand and transformed into a large array before everyone's eyes.

Just as Zhao Tianjun said, the great formation was filled with surging evil energy, and lightning and fire flashed, making people feel like their souls were about to leave their bodies at first glance.

This prompted Jiang Ziya to exclaim "Bravo!" and even Guang Chengzi secretly gave him a thumbs up. Although Ji Fa didn't understand it, he also felt that this formation was extraordinary.

He then said to Zhao Tianjun, "The great formation set up by the immortal is indeed infinitely mysterious. With such a formation, Xiqi has nothing to worry about."

Seeing Ji Fa praise Zhao Tianjun's Earthly Fiery Formation, Dong Tianjun (Dong Quan) hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to Ji Fa.

"Second Prince, after reviewing the Earth Fiery Formation, please now examine my Wind Howling Formation. If there are any shortcomings, please point them out."

"The Wind Howling Formation contains profound mysteries. This formation is based on the numbers of earth, water, fire, and wind, and contains wind and fire. This wind and fire are innate energies, Samadhi True Fire, from which a million weapons emerge."

"Even if a Great Luo Golden Immortal were to enter this formation, with wind and fire raging and countless blades clashing, his limbs would be instantly reduced to dust. Even if he possessed extraordinary abilities to overturn seas and move mountains, he would still be unable to escape his body turning into pus."

"As the saying goes, the howling wind is a den of weapons, a hidden trap that can injure even a god, leaving nothing but flesh and blood."

The crowd showered him with praise, bringing a smile to Dong Tianjun's face. Only then did he dismantle the grand formation and return to Qin Tianjun's side.

Next, Yuan Tianjun (Yuan Jiao) demonstrated his Ice Array. Golden Light Saintess then demonstrated her Golden Light Array. Sun Tianjun (Sun Liang) demonstrated his Blood Transformation Array…

After all nine Heavenly Lords had displayed their grand formations, Qin Tianjun finally spoke up, saying, "Brothers, you have all displayed your grand formations. Now, let me show the Second Prince my Heavenly Annihilation Formation."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a formation diagram flew out. Immediately, a massive formation soared into the sky. Within the formation, malevolent energy swirled, and blood-red light shot upwards, sending chills down one's spine.

The next moment, Qin Tianjun floated up and led everyone directly into the Heavenly Annihilation Formation.

At the same time, he added, "The Heavenly Annihilation Formation is full of profound and mysterious calculations. It is the result of my master's innate techniques, which obtained the pure energy of the primordial world. It contains the mechanism of chaos and has three banners inside, which combine the three elements of heaven, earth, and man into one energy."

"Even a Great Luo Golden Immortal entering this formation will be reduced to dust wherever thunder roars; any immortal encountering this place will have their limbs shattered to pieces."

"As the saying goes, when the three powers of heaven, earth, and man are reversed, the mysteries within are even harder to fathom. If even immortals encounter the Heavenly Annihilation Formation, their limbs will turn to ashes in an instant."

Previously, the group had only glimpsed the various grand formations from afar. Now, however, they were inside the Qingling Grand Formation, and were inevitably shocked by what they saw.

Even Guang Chengzi couldn't help but think to himself, "If I were to enter this formation and not know how to break it, I'm afraid I would die on the spot."

Even the most powerful Daoist Ran Deng was startled by the Heavenly Annihilation Formation. However, he was not like Guang Chengzi, as he knew how to break the formation. So, after Qin Tianjun dispelled the Heavenly Annihilation Formation and everyone returned to the main hall of the Prime Minister's residence, Daoist Ran Deng spoke.

"Fellow Daoists, although your great formation is infinitely profound, it has a huge drawback. That is, it cannot withstand sacrificial rituals."

"Once the enemy sacrifices human lives to break the formation on the battlefield, the baleful aura within the formation will instantly be reduced by 70%. At that point, wouldn't it be a natural progression to send someone to break the formation?"

Upon hearing what Daoist Ran Deng said, the Ten Heavenly Lords' faces instantly turned solemn. After all, even they themselves were unaware that their grand formation had such a flaw.

At this moment, Jiang Ziya, fearing that the situation would become too awkward, immediately spoke up to smooth things over, saying, "Even Taoist disciples may not know how to break such a profound formation."

However, Qin Tianjun shook his head directly, "Fellow Daoist Ziya, you are mistaken, because we absolutely cannot have any wishful thinking."

"If it weren't for Master Ran Deng's reminder, my brothers and I wouldn't have known the flaw in our formation. Once we were on the battlefield and captured by the enemy, our fate would have been predictable."

"Now that we know where the flaws in the great formation lie, we should find a way to remedy them. We must not allow the enemy to break our great formation using this method."

As he spoke, Qin Tianjun led the other nine Heavenly Lords to stand up and respectfully bow to Daoist Ran Deng.

"Since Master Randeng is aware of the drawbacks of the Ten Deadly Formations, he must have a way to remedy them. We brothers would be eternally grateful if Master Randeng could teach us."

With a wave of his hand, Daoist Ran Deng sent a gentle breeze to help the Ten Heavenly Lords to their feet. After all, Daoist Ran Deng's cultivation level was at the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint.

Because he was unable to sever his obsession, he lowered himself to join the Chan Sect, hoping to receive guidance from the Primordial Celestial Venerable so that he could sever his three corpses as soon as possible.

The Ten Heavenly Lords were only at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level. Naturally, they would behave very respectfully in front of Daoist Ran Deng.

After helping the Ten Heavenly Lords to their feet, Daoist Ran Deng said, "There are two solutions: one is to temporarily alleviate the immediate crisis, and the other is to solve the problem at its root."

"The solution to this immediate crisis is to deploy each formation only once. If another enemy tries to break through the formation, switch to another formation to defend against them."

"If two people enter the formation at the same time, remember, either kill them both together or don't kill either of them. Avoid the two of them sacrificing their companion to break the formation you have set up."

Upon hearing this, the Ten Heavenly Lords nodded repeatedly. They then asked Daoist Burning Lamp how to resolve the flaws of the great formation once and for all.

Without beating around the bush, Daoist Ran Deng immediately addressed the Ten Heavenly Lords, saying, "First of all, your cultivation level must be raised to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm."

"Because only a Great Luo Golden Immortal with the cultivation level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal can suppress the evil energy within the formation and control it freely, instead of making it uncontrollable as it is now."

"Secondly, one must have a corresponding innate spiritual treasure. With an innate spiritual treasure as the core of the array, there is no need for the ritual of setting up the array. Therefore, the higher the grade of the innate spiritual treasure, the better the effect."

Upon hearing what the Daoist Ran Deng said, the Ten Heavenly Lords instantly showed an embarrassed expression. At least on the first point, they couldn't do it now.
