Capítulo 2171: Chapter 2116–2117: Arrival of the Taoist Academy Instructors, Qingyang’s Schemes (Part 2)
Today, those who have come here are not only the few people from earlier, but also many other disciples from the Taoist Academy, all seeking the Fire Emperor’s bounty. However, these disciples are just ordinary supreme strong ones, unable to earn such honor.
Yet, whether they are ordinary supreme strong ones or supreme strong overlords, to Mr. Fourteen, they are all his former disciples, who followed him to listen and learn the Dao.
Every disciple who has reached this point has endured countless hardships.
Years of diligent cultivation suddenly go to waste, entering the cycle of reincarnation, who knows when they can once again embark on the cultivation path.
Even though Mr. Fourteen is aware of this, he has no intention of stopping them. After all, it is each person’s choice; they wish to seek fortuitous opportunities from the great calamity, but falling within it is merely a lack of destiny.
Moreover, when the great calamity descends, everyone is at its mercy, unable to protect themselves. Even Mr. Fourteen himself has to enter the calamity; what right does he have to help others?
……
Everything happening outside Fire God City is naturally visible to the Great Ming camp. Though they can’t grasp everything perfectly, they surmise that aid must have arrived, surely for breaking the Eight Trigrams Divine Array.
Not to mention, just this incident of suppressing the Two Diagrams Map would undoubtedly attract numerous strong ones from the Taoist Academy.
Duke Wei stood in the center of the camp, inviting many brothers from the Dayan Sect to sit together at the high seat. The tent was obscured; he opened his mouth and asked, “Has the god formation been affected?”
From Duke Wei’s voice, one could sense some anxiety, even if he was meticulously careful at this time.
After all, the Eight Trigrams Divine Array exhibited mighty divine might, even able to suppress the opponent’s immortal artifact, the Two Diagrams Map, showing the dread of the god formation.
However, likewise, the power of the Two Diagrams Map is self-evident. While the Eight Trigrams Divine Array suppresses this magical treasure, can it still maintain its original might? If it were to be broken, it would be problematic.
“The Eight Trigrams Divine Array forms its own universe; the Two Diagrams Map is suppressed by the Heavenly Earthly Force, not merely the formation’s power, fundamentally unaffected. Dispatch a vanguard officer to send the battle challenge and let them come to break the formation.” Daoist Yi Zhen solemnly responded, long hair cascading down, as if laws were suspended in the air, answering with a firm voice.
Regarding Duke Wei’s concerns, he felt no empathy whatsoever, because he had absolute confidence in the mighty strength of their Eight Trigrams Divine Array, with no worries.
Of course, though suppressing the Two Diagrams Map clearly offended many strong ones from the Taoist Academy, several of them believed that with the Eight Trigrams Divine Array in hand, as long as true immortals didn’t intervene, there was no need to worry.
As for true immortals intervening, they aren’t without backing; their descent to help Duke Wei was not merely due to camaraderie from shared cultivation in the Dayan Sect but also because they obtained the Ancestral Master’s decree and promise.
If true immortals intervene, they believed that the Ancestral Master would not sit idly by, and even the true immortals of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty should act; otherwise, they could just surrender, with no need to stubbornly endure.
Seeing them so confident, Duke Wei no longer worried, sending someone to issue the battle challenge, inviting the opponent to break the formation.
……
“Eight Trigrams Divine Array blocking the path?” Pang Hong looked at Wan Fayi in surprise and then asked, “Even the Two Diagrams Map from Qingyang Zi’s master uncle was suppressed?”
This news was truly astonishing; he could understand and reason through the Eight Trigrams Divine Array, but for the opponent to have the capability to suppress the Two Diagrams Map was beyond comprehension.
“At first, the disciple was also skeptical, but facts are as they are; the Two Diagrams Map is lost within the Eight Trigrams Divine Array and was not retrieved.” Wan Fayi stated, equally shocked, even having deliberately verified the authenticity of this information.
Because honestly, if not for this, the news wouldn’t have been worth his attention, regardless of it concerning the strife between the two Divine Dynasties.
“Master Uncle, do you believe it?” Pang Hong chuckled, turning his gaze to Yu Zhenzi beside him.
“I don’t believe it.” Yu Zhenzi shook his head.
He had dealt with Qingyang Zi, this old Taoist, quite a bit; the latter was an old fox who couldn’t be clearer, unlikely to make such mistakes, not even unintended ones.
“Exactly, I also don’t believe that master uncle would make such an error.” Pang Hong firmly nodded.
He was acutely aware that his teacher had assisted in refining the Two Diagrams Map; knowing that the map was modeled after the Peacock Demon God’s Five-color Divine Light with special effects, where Yin Yang Qi passed, traversing smoothly.
Not just these few young ones who haven’t proven themselves true immortals, even if the Great Inference Ancestor Master of the Dayan Sect personally set up a formation, it would be very difficult to trap the Two Diagrams Map.
With such news spreading, the only explanation is that the master uncle is plotting something again.
“So, this old Taoist is up to tricks again!” Yu Zhenzi chuckled lightly.
Pang Hong furrowed his brow and said, “For Qingyang master uncle to act like this, this Eight Trigrams Array must also be extraordinary, and things are not exactly going well on Fire Emperor’s side; otherwise, it wouldn’t be like this.”
The calculations of true immortals aren’t impulsive, if not for the extraordinariness of the Eight Trigrams Divine Array, he believed the disciples of the Taoist Academy couldn’t easily break it, otherwise, the opponent wouldn’t have resorted to such methods.
“It seems to be the case; the Taoist Academy’s investment is significant, the situation is dire; he’s getting a bit anxious.”
Yu Zhenzi also laughed and commented.
Wan Fayi, listening to the evaluations from the two, could only remain silent, as he, being a direct disciple of the Shenxiao Sect, seldom cultivated in the Taoist Academy and hadn’t much interaction with the dean Qingyang Zi, hence lacking understanding.
Yet one undeniable point is that compared to external information, he trusted the judgments of the two present more.
It seems indeed that this external news isn’t false, but it isn’t truly saying the Eight Trigrams Divine Array is capable of suppressing the Two Diagrams Map, but rather Qingyang Zi is up to some schemes.
Despite achieving true immortality, in terms of plotting, he is still somewhat lacking compared to those old guys.
Thankfully, this incident is unrelated to him; he only needs to watch and learn.
On that note, Duke Wei sent people to deliver the challenge, and shortly after, received a reply from Wind and Thunder Master.
“In three days, sentence will be decided!”
Within these three days, Duke Wei held a banquet, entertaining many soldiers, greatly boosting the morale of Great Ming troops.
Undoubtedly, since the Eight Trigrams Divine Array was set up, though the divine abilities hadn’t slain Wind and Thunder Master, it filled them with boundless confidence, greatly boosting morale.
Also, as the great calamity erupted, sometimes arrogant troops easily falter, and with Evil Qi gathering, it blinded them to their daily vigilance; otherwise, they might have noticed the weakening of the grand formation’s power, discovering some clues, avoiding ending up dead.
Outside Fire God City, beams of light flickered, Qingyun Golden Lamp, Dusk Drum and Dawn Bell, like a water curtain, merged into a giant sky-covering net, with no gaps.
Streams of Primordial Qi erupted, piercing the firmament, majestic and grand, heavenly music resonating greatly, like an Immortal Mansion descending from the sky.
“The various Taoist friends from the Taoist Academy have arrived. Surely, those who have come this time are mighty beings below true immortals, arriving together. Though it isn’t all the forces of the Taoist Academy, it is certainly most of their power. As soon as they are defeated, it’ll be the moment Fire God City falls, and we might even advance further.” Daoist Yi Zhen, full of spirit, looked at the condensing Immortal Mansion not far away with disdainful expression.
These disciples from immortal sects had their own pride. Although the Taoist Academy employs diverse teachings, truly outstanding individuals are but a handful; regarding top-notch combat power, they certainly didn’t think they were inferior to the other side.
