After transforming into a fairy, I, in my simulation, wreaked havoc in the cultivation world.

【"you..."】

Before she could finish speaking, you raised your hand and took out a jade token, which was the Primordial Sword Court pass given to you by Lingxiu.

"We are disciples of the Primordial Sword Court."

[The old master's influence really worked; after glancing at the sword pattern on the jade tablet, the golden-armored female cultivator's expression visibly softened.]

"Since you are a prodigy of the Sword Court, why hide yourself? Just break the formation with us."

You exchanged a subtle glance with Liu Guanzhi, then immediately put on a smile and stepped forward to help her up.

"My name is Situ Qing. May I ask how you two fellow Daoists are addressed?"

"Dark clouds."

【"White soil."】

【"Cough cough cough..."】

Situ Qing nearly choked on her own saliva. Seeing that you all looked calm and didn't seem to be faking it, she didn't ask any more questions.

If you knew what the other person was thinking, all I can say is that they're incredibly naive.

Not only are your names fake, but even your current appearance isn't real...

A moment later, the three returned together to the front of the massive stone gate.

"Who are these two benefactors?"

The young monk clasped his hands together, his gaze sweeping over you before settling on Liu Guanzhi.

Although his tone remained calm, a hint of scrutiny flickered in his eyes.

Before you could even speak, Situ Qing preemptively raised her chin slightly.

"These two are fellow Daoists from the Primordial Sword Court."

Upon hearing this, someone who was about to question the two about their right to stand there silently withdrew their footing.

"What they say is true? In my opinion..."

It was that young man with the folding fan again.

However, this time, before he could finish speaking, his expression suddenly changed.

A blurry black shadow flashed past everyone's eyes.

【"Hiss~"】

A crisp sound rang out.

Everyone stared intently, only to see the once gentle and refined young man now disheveled and pinned to a withered tree in the distance.

The black sword light that pierced his clothes was slowly dissipating.

A bead of cold sweat slid down the young man's forehead, and he unconsciously swallowed.

Almost!

He was just a hair's breadth away from having his throat pierced by a sword; the people of the Primordial Sword Court are truly insane!

Although you didn't actually do it, Liu Guanzhi is now your Daoist partner, which is practically equivalent to you doing it.

Seeing the opportunity to shine in front of others, you stepped forward without hesitation, your eyes cold and sharp.

"The dogs of the Wuxiang Tower dare to bark and howl in front of my Taichu Sword Sect?"

【"you!"】

The young man's face was grim, but when his gaze swept over the silent black-haired boy beside you, the harsh words he was about to utter were swallowed back.

[Even though they were both at the peak of the Golden Core stage, he felt he wouldn't survive a second move against his opponent.]

"Hmph!"

You put your hands on your hips, snorted coldly, and gave a look that said, "You're smart to be shrewd."

The frustration I felt at being tricked by the old cowherd subsided somewhat.

But at this moment, the atmosphere in the arena became somewhat subtle.

Originally, Situ Qing was close to the monks of Xumi Temple, Wuxiang Tower and Liuying Pavilion were in cahoots, and the rest were just some rogue cultivators who wanted to take advantage of the chaos.

But your arrival has disrupted this delicate balance.

"Stop wasting time, break the formation quickly."

The cultivator from the Flowing Shadow Pavilion, completely shrouded in black robes, spoke with impatience.

"Nobody's stopping you."

Situ Qing sneered and immediately retorted.

【"......"

Everyone knew this place was the final resting place of a Nascent Soul cultivator, but they were unaware that it was actually the remains of a prodigy in the art of array formations.

This formation is probably impossible for anyone to break.

The silence lasted for several breaths.

Liu Guanzhi stepped forward slowly, his gaze falling on the stone gate.

"The Five Elements Locking Yang Formation."

The voice wasn't loud, but it immediately drew everyone's attention.

"This formation cannot be broken by force without strength surpassing that of a Nascent Soul cultivator."

The group exchanged bewildered glances, and for a moment, no one spoke.

The art of formations is extremely obscure and complex, requiring a great deal of effort, and few people practice it simultaneously, especially prodigies who are in the midst of their vigorous advancement.

"It requires five people, each using one of the five elements of spiritual energy to simultaneously infuse the array patterns on the stone gate, and then another person to break it open by brute force."

Seeing that he spoke with such conviction, Situ Qing couldn't help but press further:

"What are your requirements?"

"You need enough spiritual power."

Liu Guanzhi's gaze swept over the group of people near the stone gate, his meaning clear.

"Let's begin then."

Seeing that no one answered, the young monk slowly stepped forward.

"I presume you gentlemen have no better solution."

Upon hearing this, the young man with the folding fan suddenly turned his gaze to you.

"And what about her?"

"She only has the cultivation level of the early Golden Core stage; her spiritual power is insufficient."

[Liu Guanzhi's ability to blatantly lie is on par with yours.]

"Exactly! Why do you, a grown man, always target a weak woman like me?"

You hid behind Liu Guanzhi, peeking out with your head, your eyes full of accusation.

The young man nearly coughed up blood in anger, but he suppressed his rage and asked again:

"And who will break open the stone door?"

You immediately stepped out from behind Liu Guanzhi, a surge of powerful energy rising within you.

"Of course it's me!"

【"......"

Shameless!

These two words involuntarily popped into everyone's minds.

[Just a moment ago she was a frail woman, but now she naturally displays such a terrifying aura.]

[Pfft~]

Situ Qing couldn't help but burst out laughing.

【"you!"】

The young man from Wuxiang Tower pointed at you for a long time without saying a word, finally flicking his sleeve and turning his head away.

Unable to win a fight or a verbal argument, he could only lash out in anger!

"Let's begin."

Liu Guanzhi suppressed his slight smile, pointed a finger at the stone gate, and a surge of powerful spiritual energy flowed from his fingertip into the gate.

"Hurry, you only have one chance. If you fail, this array will disappear completely."

Upon hearing this, the group dared not delay and, following Liu Guanzhi's instructions, each channeled their spiritual energy into the corresponding array patterns.

【"Buzz~!"】

A moment later, all the array patterns on the stone gate were illuminated, and a pale golden light barrier slowly appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Break the formation quickly!"

The young man with the folding fan spoke urgently, feeling his spiritual energy draining away at an extremely rapid pace.

"No, this light barrier is too strong for a Golden Core cultivator to break through. Once we fail, there will be no second chance. We need to wait a little longer."

Liu Guanzhi slowly rejected the offer.

"Yes, yes! I'll do whatever my husband says."

You stood obediently to the side, completely devoid of your previous arrogant demeanor.

[The other four: ......]
