Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 359 The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Secret Locking Array
If we were to name the person the Demon Lord hates the most, it would undoubtedly be Zhou Qing.

Even the Four Great Dao Palaces are behind Zhou Qing.

He fought against the four Dao Palaces for hundreds of years, but it was just a simple repetition of the struggle between the Immortal Path and the Demonic Path. This had been going on for tens of thousands of years.

The demonic path has always tried to create its own Nascent Soul, so that it can truly stand alongside the four great Dao Palaces, rather than relying on external forces like the Corpse Demon.

The four major Taoist palaces, however, guarded against the demonic forces with utmost vigilance, preventing them from succeeding.

But who knew that Zhou Qing would suddenly appear halfway through, forcing the four major Dao Palaces to destroy the treasures instead.

This time, the Demon Lord's hopes were completely dashed.

Compared to the four Daoist palaces that destroyed the treasures, he hated Zhou Qing, this sudden variable, even more.

So when the four Dao Palaces decided to plot against Zhou Qing but lacked a top expert, the Demon Lord decisively agreed to join.

Seeing Zhou Qing finally fall into the trap, the Demon Lord felt a surge of satisfaction and said, "Zhou Qing, you are too arrogant!"

"So even if you know that the four great Dao Palaces are plotting against you, you will definitely come, and you will not let any seed of retreat be planted in your heart."

“I have been studying you for the past few years. I am also very clear about your experience of walking the invincible path in the western continent. How could you easily allow the magnificent state of mind that you have finally achieved to be obscured by the clouds?”

"So you'll definitely come."

"The reason our plan succeeded was not because the plan was so meticulous, but because of your nature. You succeeded because of your nature, and you also failed because of it."

Zhou Qing looked around.

Several top-tier Nascent Soul cultivators are gradually approaching him.

The Great Arhat of the East, Lu Mingzhao of the West, Dao Yi of the South, and Yue Po Xian of the North all have the Azure Frost Sword above their heads, while the Demon Lord is positioned slightly behind them.

Judging from the enemy's formation, Zhou Qing guessed that the group was distributed according to the six directions.

He laughed and said, "Since you have set up such a grand display, you must be absolutely confident that I have nowhere to escape. Why not analyze your methods and let me die knowing why?"

"Good."

The Great Arhat said, "Benefactor Zhou's escape technique is unparalleled throughout history. Even in the most prosperous times of ancient times, no one could surpass him."

"In order to restrict Benefactor Zhou, we must be fully prepared. In the past few years, Fellow Daoist Lu and I have worked hard and painstakingly, referring to ancient formations, to create the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Secret Locking Formation."

"This formation should be presided over by six top Nascent Soul experts. Once activated, it can completely seal off a space of nearly a thousand miles in radius. Apart from us few who are presiding over the formation, no one can move even an inch."

“If Benefactor Zhou had not stepped into this formation, we would have been unable to do anything to you. Now that you have stepped into the formation, even the fastest escape light is useless.”

The Demon Lord laughed loudly: "Zhou Qing, you are exceptionally talented, but unfortunately you come from a small sect and lack broad knowledge. You cannot understand the profoundness of the path of cultivation and think that you can act recklessly just because you have mastered a technique of escape."

"This is because your nature is too shallow, so you can't blame others."

It turned out to be the case.

Zhou Qing moved his body curiously and found that he couldn't move at all.

It was as if the entire space had frozen, and he was trapped inside an invisible wall of air.

Zhou Qing used his magnetic field induction to explore outwards and discovered that everything within the magnetic field induction range was as heavy as a mountain, even a single molecule was incredibly heavy.

Zhou Qing quickly realized the mystery of this formation.

This is a formation that fuses a space of nearly a thousand miles into one. Within the formation's range, any part shares the weight of the whole.

Even if he wanted to move a single molecule, it would be equivalent to moving six Nascent Soul level experts at the same time.

If he possesses power exceeding the combined strength of six Nascent Soul experts, the formation can be broken with a flick of his finger. However, if he cannot surpass the combined strength of the six, he will be suppressed by their power and unable to move an inch.

What a powerful formation!
Zhou Qing sincerely praised, saying, "Therefore, I am still able to speak with you all now entirely because of your mercy. Otherwise, wouldn't I have been killed without even being able to open my mouth?"

The Great Arhat said, "Benefactor Zhou did not kill anyone in Buddha City and Listening Moon Lake before, which shows that he still had some good intentions. We should let you go clearly." Zhou Qing smiled and said, "The Great Monk is indeed kind. Since that's the case, why don't you all take action?"

"Stop wasting your breath on him!"

The Demon Lord sneered, "Since the senior monk can't bear to do it, I'll take the liberty of doing it myself."

Having said that, he used his omnipotence as the master of the formation to unleash the combined power of the six people onto Zhou Qing with just a thought.

Under the influence of the power of the six Nascent Soul cultivators, and even those beyond the Nascent Soul level, Zhou Qing's physical body was instantly crushed into dust.

The Demon Lord's face showed great joy, and everyone else also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, for the past four years, everyone has felt immense pressure from Zhou Qing.

Now that this source of pressure has been destroyed, we can finally return to the familiar situation.

The Demon Lord said, "The matter is settled. Fellow Daoists, I shall take my leave now."

The Demon Lord understood that they were able to unite because of Zhou Qing, their common enemy. Now that Zhou Qing had fallen, they were back to being adversaries.

"Wait!"

Lu Mingzhao suddenly exclaimed, "He's not dead yet!"

Ok?
The group was taken aback at first, then their expressions changed drastically. They could indeed still sense Zhou Qing's unique aura lingering in this space.

Although there was no trace of Zhou Qing anywhere.

After searching around for a while, the group finally found a hole the size of a finger where Zhou Qing had just stood.

Before long, the hole slowly expanded, becoming a three-foot-square opening, seemingly embedded in the air, as if a large hole had been torn open in space.

On the other side of the cave was Zhou Qing's face, which had a half-smile.

Only then did the group realize that they had been tricked by Zhou Qing.

The Demon Lord roared in fury, "Zhou Qing, you're cheating!"

Zhou Qing asked in surprise, "Fellow Daoist, have you lost your mind? You committed fraud first, so why are you blaming me?"

"I have witnessed the skills of my fellow Daoists. Farewell."

"By the way, fellow Daoists, guess where I am right now?"

A sense of foreboding arose in everyone's hearts.

Zhou Qing then made room for them, allowing them to see the scene on the other side through the hole.

The group saw a piece of land suspended in mid-air in the distance.

That was the floating island of the Qingxu Dao Palace, which had already been restored.

The group immediately understood what Zhou Qing was about to do.

Lu Mingzhao raised an eyebrow and said sternly, "Zhou Qing, you're asking for death!"

He gestured, and the Azure Frost Sword instantly appeared in his hand. Then, he slashed at Zhou Qing with the sword.

Seeing him wave to the sky, Zhou Qing guessed that he was going to summon the Azure Frost Sword. Before he could strike, Zhou Qing immediately closed the hole.

The Azure Frost Sword Light lost its target, lingered nearby in confusion for a while, and then suddenly shot away.

The group watched as the Azure Frost Sword light soared through the air, their brows remaining furrowed.
