CHAPTER 905: CHAPTER 904: BATTLE PREPARATIONS 2

Fairy Fei Bai felt somewhat dazed. She actually belonged to this type of person, having been lingering at the Nascent Soul threshold before being sent here. On Hell Star, she had gone through decades of honing and became extremely well-rounded. Yet, because of one visit to the Medicine King Cauldron, another cultivation option appeared, leaving her speechless.

The only good news is that all visitors from the Upper Realm are the same; no one can pass through years of travel without being touched by the power of Spirit Plants. Once touched, they can never shake it off.

"What is the significance of such a change?"

Wei Yi said meaningfully, "I don’t know! Perhaps it will help with strength? After all, there’s an additional Purple Mansion application? But according to our deduction, the greatest significance is that only cultivators who have commenced Purple Mansion cultivation have the potential to break the world barrier of Jinxiu Continent! So, we have the same opportunity as the Jinxiu natives. Now, are you willing to practice the Purple Mansion?"

Fairy Fei Bai shook her head with a wry smile, "What good is it whether I’m willing or not? Even without the ambition to break the world barrier of Jinxiu, the Nascent Soul still must be achieved. As you said, which part can do without Purple Mansion cultivation?"

Wei Yi laughed heartily, "That’s it, a new Boundary Domain, new challenges, a new cultivation system, isn’t this the purpose of our visit here? It now seems that the twists and challenges are even more profound than imagined, which is not in vain, thanks to Brother Hou’s contribution!"

Seeing everyone laughing with bad intentions, Hou Niao immediately shifted the blame, "I didn’t think much before, always smug about my battle in Jinxiu, but after experiencing so much, everything connected like a line. I just want to ask you two, if I hadn’t killed Bao Xishan or broken the Yuqing Beast Form back then, would you have successfully landed on Jinxiu Continent?"

Wei Yi and Gu Zai’s eyes turned sharp. Yes, this was actually their long-standing suspicion. Especially Zhi Xuan Rong Guang and some monks, because of such suspicion, they never troubled Hou Niao later. Everyone felt like they had fallen into some grand scheme, yet didn’t know who was the schemer.

Their only response was an abnormal one: do not do what you want to do. But the act of returning to Jinxiu was unavoidable, and naturally, they fell into the next step...

Hou Niao gave a deep smile, "I find it puzzling, considering the Yuqing Spirit Beast Form is such an existence? At least two levels above me, and just split open by a single sword of mine? Shouldn’t it have deflected back unharmed? And those eleven other Yuqing Beast Forms, were they just a chain reaction, or simply too eager themselves!

Who was so eager?"

Gu Zai voiced, rarely seen, "I don’t blame you; these things are what we must face, otherwise, you couldn’t have run away from that time at the Hell Star Hanging Waterfall! Zhi Xuan didn’t blame you either; otherwise, how could you, in your then fragile state, hold out until the trial?

Our realms may be insufficient, but being sent over means we’re not biased, and that’s good, it’s getting more and more intriguing, that’s what makes it challenging."

Wei Yi chuckled, "Therefore, let’s not talk about who will ultimately break the world barrier of Jinxiu, whether it’s Jinxiu natives or outsiders, it’s too far away. Our current issue is whether we can pass this hurdle? Even if passed, upon truly entering Jinxiu, you’ll need to supplement cultivation, we need to supplement Purple Mansion. At least sixty years, step by step, it’s as if someone designed it all along."

Everyone had their own agenda, each with their own thoughts; this is the true cultivation world, where there are no real enemies, too naïve. Everyone’s role constantly changes due to the environment, time, events, and countless other reasons.

Hou Niao would not think these people are particularly caring for him, only that his importance has dropped to a temporarily negligible level, ready to be picked up in the future. When the situation turns, it would be no surprise if he got harmed in return, just like how he enjoys sinking a hole and planting a few sticks now and then.

For now, attention still needed to be on that pillar in space. Without passing this hurdle, everything else would be in vain; everyone might end up as crack mice here.

The battle never stopped for a moment; the monsters would not stop, wanting to push the human cultivators back into the passage, the further the better. The human cultivators would also not stop, as stopping means the opponent’s numbers increase, making it even more difficult to launch a final attack.

Golden Core Realm, still lacking Great Dao methods, the advantage of numbers is real and practical; their consumption here is difficult to naturally replenish, so Spirit Plant elixirs become the first choice. Since they’ve reached this point, no one considers what anomalies might emerge from the Purple Mansion anymore, there’s no time to consider.

Individual abilities are infinitely weakened in such a massive battle scene, even Yue Duo’s Flying Sword struggles to inflict large-scale damage upon the monsters, unless there were ten Yue Duos, and someone protecting her flank.

Monsters are endless, puppets, zombies, skeletons, beasts, all manner of creatures, fully showcasing the diversity of Universe Cultivation Creatures, while human attacks are just attempts at various tactical combinations, skill selections, preparing for a fatal strike.

That strange pestle stands there motionless, but the spatial node it suppresses acts as a solid block. One can imagine, when Hell Star and Jinxiu Continent intersect, what such a blockade would result in?

The battle itself, though unremarkable, is about output; launching moves and casting swords within their formations, and it’s impossible for you to come and go without a trace, given the limited space and nearly ten thousand monsters. Leaving one’s formation basically spells doom.

In the narrow space’s group battle, it’s all about formation, stable output, and stalwart patience, everything else is secondary.

Magic cultivators play a significant role in it, being the most numerous group. How to coordinate them is a big issue, also something they’ve been working on these days.

In Hou Niao’s view, it seems the presence of Yue Duo is somewhat discordant, clashing with the Daoist Method lineup; not just Yue Duo, but also Wei Yi and Gu Zai, it’s unimaginable to have a blood river flow and a sword group revolve in Daoist Method space, restraining each other.

It is through such attempts that the three small groups disassemble and reform, refining and adjusting; the attack lineup became an all-magic cultivation formation, while the defense lineup became a Buddhist Sect formation, while those odd formations were consolidated into the reserve formation.

The sword body heretics like Yue Duo, Wei Yi, Gu Zai, and Hou Niao gathered together, just like the overall structure of the Universe Cultivation Realm.

Similarities come together, people flock together, no difference anywhere.

With the formation’s polishing, human cultivators made significant strides in both offense and defense, this is where they truly surpass the monsters, able to strengthen continuously by assessing the situation.

Just haven’t exerted force, biding their time.
