His daughter couldn't accept a strange father after being absent for decades. Although Qin Hao was a little disappointed that Bao 'er refused to accept the Mengzhi, he wouldn't force her. He could wait.
In the future, he would have a lot of time to accompany his daughter and protect her silently.
In fact, Bao 'er's refusal to accept the Mengzhi seemed to have a deeper meaning. She was right. In the current situation, the Mengzhi's power in Feng Lan's hands was far greater than that of Dendi's daughter.
In order to attack Sunset Peak, it was more effective to use a powerful magic weapon on a suitable person. No matter what Bao 'er's motive was, whether it was for the Nine Veins of the Phoenix Flower or for Qin Hao, his daughter's way of doing things was very considerate. She wasn't as cold as she seemed.
After talking with Feng Lan and Yun Rou, Qin Hao immediately sent a message to the Daoist Ancestor. He started to set up the Teleportation Formations of the three major orthodoxies. The Daoist Ancestor, Bo Changzhi, would do it personally. With the North Border as the center, the Nine Islands, the Southern Border Dao Sect, and the Shuo Clan of the East Sea would build more than twenty formations capable of carrying Emperor Dao experts. The three sides would act as each other's horns and could support each other at any time.
Madam Xu brought Qin Hao's message back to the Immortal Sect. The only Ancestor left in the Immortal Sect, Lame Hu, didn't give Dendi a clear answer. Starting a war with Sunset Peak would involve too much. Once they agreed, there would be no way out. Either one side would die or the other would die. As the Ancestor of the Immortal Sect, Lame Hu had to be extra careful.
However, he sent three strong helpers to assist Bo Changzhi in building the Teleportation Formation. This time, not only did Madam Xu's husband come, but Hu Qianqiu's father and the head of the Quan Clan also came. The Immortal Sect was originally good at formations in the West Border. Many of their methods were similar to the Daoist Sect, which saved the Daoist Ancestor a lot of effort.
From this point of view, one could see Lame Hu's attitude. Except for himself, the three Sect Masters in charge of the Immortal Sect came together to convey the Immortal Sect's intention to Dendi.
However, except for the three Sect Masters, there wasn't a single soldier. Even the Daoist experts who were assigned to Madam Xu were ordered back by Lame Hu's order.
Qin Hao understood what Cripple Hu meant. Cripple Hu was planning to observe the situation and hadn't made up his mind.
Qin Hao wasn't in a hurry. He believed that when the Jueying Sword Emperor and the Phoenix Clan Ancestor appeared in the North Region, Cripple Hu would definitely come uninvited.
Ten days later, the teleportation portals in the three orthodoxies were completed. Sect Leader Hu, Sect Leader Xu, and Sect Leader Quan didn't leave.
At this moment, on the Hundred Spirits Island, a circle of dazzling light appeared above the dojo, and a Yin-Yang Diagram with boundless Emperor Will slowly fell into it. Immediately, it stirred up endless rays of light, and a mysterious and unfathomable Dao Might surged from it.
Outside the Dao Sanctum, Qin Hao, the Dao Ancestor, the three immortal sect masters, Paragon Phoenix Flower, Yun Rou, and many island lords were there. They looked at the huge Dao array that was circulating with Yin-Yang radiance on the Dao Sanctum with solemn expressions.
This array was combined with the Dao Ancestor's power of reversing Yin and Yang, as well as the Immortal Sect's Celestial Art. It was also integrated with the Will of Qin Hao, Wuque, Feng Lan, and many other Unblemished cultivators.
Back in the Divine Palace, the Seven Peak Venerables, led by Great Ancestor Yun Yi, worked together to activate a supreme illusion array. This array could derive the power of heaven and earth and form a universe of its own. When the disciples of the Divine Palace entered the array, they could open a strange door of martial arts according to the Will of the Way contained in the array. They could walk in and train themselves. It was both real and illusory, with thousands of changes.
With the cultivation of Qin Hao and the others, they naturally couldn't compare with the Seven Peak Venerables of the Divine Palace. Although they were only Bodies of Obsession, their Nirvana-Level power still hadn't dissipated.
Qin Hao, the Dao Ancestor, Wu Que, and Feng Lan were unable to achieve the strength of the formation energy of the other party, and it was impossible for them to create the spirit of the formation. Even so, the people who entered the formation could still improve their individual strength through the tempering of Dao Insights.
Strength was exactly what was needed at the moment. Xiao Han, Yun Rou, and Weiwei.
Holy Emperor Jiang, Ancestor Li, and Great Ancestor Wanhai.
These were all extremely powerful cultivators who had proven their Way. Among them, Weiwei, Ancestor Li, and Great Ancestor Wanhai were very close to the Unblemished Realm. Through the experience of the Unblemished Will of the Way in the array, they might be able to break through.
Many people could go in and train. Even the descendants of Bao 'er, Hu Qianqiu, and Xu Cheng could enter.
"A few days ago, news came from Xuanlong Mountain. For some unknown reason, Zhuge Xiu, the commander of Sunset Peak and one of the most powerful divine generals under the command of the Sunset War-God, was seriously injured."
Feng Lan's gaze fell on the array, and the Will of the Emperor was absorbed into it. She continued, "The Xuanlong lineage was slaughtered by Meng Xiang, and their orthodoxy was destroyed. The Xuanlong Emperor escaped with injuries and fled to the Daqin Empire to seek refuge. Now, he was recruited by Han Lingxuan and was given the position of Imperial Advisor."
This happened very suddenly. Zhuge Xiu, a Unblemished Emperor, fought with the Xuanlong Emperor for no reason. The Xuanlong Holy Man's cultivation was also very shocking, and he was evenly matched with Zhuge Xiu. After Meng Xiang appeared, he was able to escape from the two of them. If it didn't happen in real life, no one would have believed it.
The waters in the East Continent were too deep.
Feng Lan couldn't understand why Zhuge Xiu would appear in Xuanlong Mountain.
Xuanlong Mountain was located in an extremely remote island in the North Territory. It wasn't prosperous, and the Xuanlong Holy Man wasn't very famous. He was just an ordinary Emperor.
But in the end, this person's cultivation was so strong.
Qin Hao's gaze moved, and he pondered for a moment. He also couldn't figure out the reason. What secrets were hidden in Xuanlong Mountain? With Zhan Wu's personality, unless he was in mortal danger, he wouldn't care about the East Continent at all.
Even when the Dao Ancestor woke up from his deep slumber and used the power of his talent to move the stars and reach the Sunset Peak with a single thought, judging from Zhan Wu's performance at that time, he was still unperturbed. At most, he only sent the War Tower to lead the troops to the South.
But now, the Sunset Battle God sent Zhuge Xiu to Xuanlong Mountain. It was clear that Zhan Wu's attitude was very sharp, and he seemed to be prepared to kill everyone. Unfortunately, he still underestimated the power of the Xuanlong Holy Man.
"Elder, what do you think?"
Qin Hao spoke to the Holy Ancestor. Bo Changzhi's brows furrowed, and a trace of doubt appeared on his face. He shook his head and said, "Heaven's will cannot be revealed. When the time comes, you will understand."
"Uh … okay."
Qin Hao was speechless and didn't pursue the matter.
The Holy Ancestor had to pay a huge price every time he peeked into Heaven's will. His furrowed brows just now probably meant that the price was too high, and beyond what he could bear.
"No matter what the reason is, it seems to be good news for us."
Feng Lan said.
With Zhuge Xiu severely injured, the Sunset Peak basically lost one of its three Great Commanders. When attacking the Sunset Peak, the pressure would be reduced.
"It is indeed good news."
Qin Hao nodded. Zhuge Xiu's power was the weakest among the three Great Commanders. If they really fought, two Zhuge Xiu's might not be able to defeat one Kui Han. But after all, he was an Unblemished Martial Saint. Now that he was severely injured, it would be impossible for him to recover in less than a hundred years. Zhan Wu couldn't help him.
On the other hand, it was the Xuanlong Holy Man. What secrets or treasures did he have that caused Zhan Wu to be wary?
"The Xuanlong Holy Man fled to Daqin to seek protection from Han Lingxuan. From this, it seems that her relationship with the Sunset Battle God isn't as good as the rumors say."
At this moment, Sect Leader Xu of the Celestial Sect said.
In the battle of the Xuanlong Dao Mountain, Zhuge Xiu's injury was indeed beneficial to Qin Hao. But from the current situation, things weren't that simple.
Everyone also understood that Empress Lingxuan's protection of the person the Sunset Battle God wanted to kill would undoubtedly cause a rift between the Sunset Peak and Daqin. This made them feel more secure. If they fought with the War God Temple and Daqin didn't provide reinforcements, then the chances of victory would undoubtedly increase.
"The Xuanlong Holy Man is hiding an extremely important secret. We have to be careful."
Qin Hao thought. Of course, he didn't want to let the Xuanlong Holy Man go, but he wanted to guard against Qingzhi Han.
He didn't care much before, but after hearing Sect Leader Xu's words, Qin Hao started to worry.
"No matter what they do, it's best that Han Lingxuan and the War God Temple fight before we set off. Now that the formation is completed, let's go in and train."
Li Xiusheng said.
In the battle with Ancestor Yun Tian, Li Xiusheng had suffered heavy injuries and had yet to fully recover. However, Qin Hao had healed most of his Dao bones and Inner Palace injuries. Only the layer of cloud energy that remained in his body needed to be removed by Li Xiusheng himself. Qin Hao could only help up to this point. If he forcefully removed it, it would definitely affect Li Xiusheng to a certain extent.
"I'll go in and try."
Shou Wuque said. Sword will circled around his body and turned into a ray of golden sword radiance that soared into the sky. It pierced into the light of the formation and followed the flow of the huge Yin Yang diagram. Very soon, everyone on the training ground could no longer feel the aura of the True Polarity Sword Master.
Buzz!
Buzz!
Buzz!
On the Hundred Spirits Training Ground, as Shou Wuque entered the formation, the light of the formation started to become restless. Faintly, everyone could hear the sound of swords clashing. The sound was coming from the formation.
The formation contained the Dao Ancestor's power of reversing Yin and Yang, Qin Hao's talent of three souls, and he had secretly injected a wisp of Divine Path nomological will into it. Feng Lan had also used the Dream Branch to infuse the North Territory's power and her own Emperor's techniques.
This included Wuque's All Forms of Sword Will, which was the combination of the strengths of four Unblemished Great Emperors.
Qin Hao had learned formation techniques at the Divine Palace's Yun Yi Peak and had seen the structure and principle of this formation. The Dao Ancestor and Sect Leader Xu were also very good at this technique. They communicated with each other and quickly created the Formation Orb. Therefore, even though the True Polarity Sword Master had entered personally, he still faced a lot of pressure.
At this time, the formation light in front of everyone's eyes was rippling more and more violently, and the sound of swords in their ears was also becoming clearer and more urgent. Soon, as a sharp beam of light pierced through the formation light, Shou Wuque returned to everyone's side. His clothes were badly damaged, and there were several sword wounds on his face. There were also traces of burns on his wounds.
Shou Wuque's expression was very ugly, and there seemed to be a faint look of shock in his eyes. After a long time, he calmed down and looked at Saint Emperor Jiang and the others, saying, "The foundation of the formation is solid, and the power of the formation is stable. There won't be any chaotic explosions. You can experience it for yourselves, but there's one thing I need to remind you. Don't be too confident. Otherwise, you may not be able to come out."
This … Everyone looked at each other.
They may not be able to come out?
Did that mean that they would have to stay in the formation forever?
"In layman's terms, it means that they will die. It's wonderful."
Shou Wuque said, and then patted Qin Hao on the shoulder and secretly said, "You're ruthless."
