192: Da Ai Zong's action to seize the sacred peak
Great Jiang Imperial Dynasty, Sanshui Commandery.
Three major rivers converge here, hence the name Sanshui Commandery.
At the confluence of these rivers, Spiritual Qi is most abundant. In ancient times, powerful beings moved mountains to this spot, and to this day, it has become the most renowned Cultivation Holy Land in Sanshui Commandery.
As the Great Jiang Imperial Dynasty gradually declines, this place recently declared its independence from the Imperial Court's jurisdiction. Several local Families and Sects merged to form the Sanshui Sect, with three Immortal Foundation Cultivators overseeing it, possessing considerable combat power.
When Midnight Gao Sou arrived with his people, he saw a grand formation rising from the confluence of the three rivers, glowing with colorful light. Within the formation, white mist was vaguely visible, and beneath the mist were Spirit Peaks. There weren't many buildings on them, but each spot was wreathed in Immortal Qi, clearly a treasure land.
"Sect Master, it's this place. We've attacked it three times, but we just can't take it down."
A Great Love Sect Elder stood beside Midnight Gao Sou, his expression somewhat grim.
Midnight Gao Sou hovered in mid-air, gazing out and carefully sensing the surrounding Spiritual Qi.
Even though the grand formation sealed off the most abundant Spiritual Qi, the Spiritual Qi at the confluence of the three rivers remained vibrant. Midnight Gao Sou quickly understood why they had attacked three times and still needed to attack again, even requesting more powerful experts.
Because this place was truly good, better even than the Great Love Sect's current main peak.
Midnight Gao Sou pondered for a moment. If they could take this place and make it the Great Love Sect's main peak, and then manage it for a period, it would likely elevate the Great Love Sect to another level.
So he immediately mobilized his forces, gathering dozens of Mortal Foundation Cultivator, plus five Immortal Foundation Cultivators, and countless Qi Refining evil Cultivators.
Everyone gathered, even deploying the fifth-grade Magic Treasure previously obtained in Mingshui Heaven.
After everyone was assembled, since they were all players, there was no need for any mobilization speech. They all surged towards the grand formation in a chaotic rush.
The three Cultivators of the Sanshui Sect were older and acted very steadily. They did not leave the formation, but simply hid within it, continuously manipulating it.
Boom!
The fifth-grade Magic Treasure, that square jade stone, was named "Super Invincible Zhentian Earth-Shattering Awesome Jade" by the player "Jiang Yezi." Because the name was too vulgar, other Great Love Sect players renamed it "zhentian jade" in a Xuanhuan style.
When zhentian jade was fully activated, it seemed to shake open the surrounding space, smashing onto the grand formation with immense power, causing the formation to tremble violently on the spot.
The Cultivators of the Sanshui Sect immediately changed their expressions.
"A Magic Treasure? They actually have a Magic Treasure?"
The Immortal Foundation Cultivator's face was clouded with gloom, and he looked at the jade stone with a hint of trepidation.
The jade stone was only palm-sized, but the commotion it caused when it struck the grand formation was even greater than the full-power strike of other Immortal Foundation Cultivators.
In the Cultivation World, the disparity between a Cultivator with a Magic Treasure and one without was so vast it could inspire despair.
It was also Jiang Yezi's good luck. When he found the Magic Treasure in Mingshui Heaven, the player community did not yet fully understand the power of Magic Treasures. Otherwise, even if Midnight Gao Sou had given the Magic Treasure to him, others in the Great Love Sect would have definitely fought for it.
"Elder He, what should we do?"
"What else can we do? Immediately call for reinforcements. Tell them we agree to all their conditions and to send people now."
Elder He wore a feathered robe that shimmered with a faint green light. His face looked old, but his eyes were bright and piercing. As soon as he spoke, someone inside began to act.
Boom!
The zhentian jade struck the grand formation once again. This time, the commotion was even greater, almost causing the Formation Flags to be dislodged.
Midnight Gao Sou looked at the zhentian jade, also somewhat startled. He hadn't expected the power of a Magic Treasure to be so immense.
Star Fiend also said, "A fifth-grade Magic Treasure is indeed a good item. Moreover, I see that Jiang Yezi hasn't even fully unleashed its power; he's merely using brute force."
Star Fiend had discerning eyes. He knew very well that Spiritual Artifacts and Magical Artifacts of that level were merely made of extraordinary materials, not easily worn out, and could better withstand a Cultivator's power.
But at the Magic Treasure rank, even the lowest fifth-grade Magic Treasure began to possess various powers. Different Magic Treasures had their own distinct great powers, somewhat similar to a Cultivator's Divine Ability.
Regrettably, the "zhentian jade" that Jiang Yezi obtained had lost its Legacy. He didn't know its original name or its specific powers, so he could only infuse it with spiritual power and use it as a rock to smash things.
Even with such a crude method, it still caused the grand formation to continuously shake, almost on the verge of breaking. This was enough to demonstrate the terrifying nature of a Magic Treasure.
Boom!
Another strike.
This was the third strike. The grand formation completely vibrated, its light somewhat dim, as if the Formation Flags would be released at any moment.
At the same time, Jiang Yezi's face was pale. His spiritual power was almost exhausted, and he could no longer sustain it, having to fall back to the ground.
The zhentian jade flew back and he hugged it tightly in his arms.
Midnight Gao Sou frowned upon seeing this scene.
Magic Treasures consume an enormous amount of energy. Normally, only Golden Core Cultivators can wield them freely. Foundation Establishment Cultivators who forcibly use them end up like Jiang Yezi; not only can they not unleash their full power, but merely using them to smash people two or three times will drain their spiritual power and render them combat ineffective.
"Jiang Yezi, give us the Magic Treasure so we can continue to break the formation."
A Great Love Sect Immortal Foundation Cultivator shouted at Jiang Yezi.
Jiang Yezi, however, quickly put the zhentian jade into his storage ring: "No, this Magic Treasure can only be used by me. I won't give it to anyone else."
Midnight Gao Sou's brows furrowed even deeper.
Jiang Yezi's fifth-grade Magic Treasure was the Great Love Sect's only Magic Treasure, almost possessing strategic value.
For this operation, Jiang Yezi had also patted his chest, promising to help and never shirk his duty.
But at the critical moment, it was just as Midnight Gao Sou had worried: this kid would not release the Magic Treasure but would keep it for himself.
The Great Love Sect was a gathering place for evil Cultivators. Most of the players here were selfish, secretly taking any resources for themselves and absolutely refusing to share with others.
It was interesting that when it came to good things like the Sanshui Sect, which they couldn't take down individually, they would immediately transform into paragons of righteousness.
Then, an Immortal Foundation player in golden armor flew in front of Jiang Yezi and said with a serious face:
"Jiang Yezi, can you please have some perspective? This is a joint operation of our Great Love Sect. Once we take down the Sanshui Sect, this will be our new main peak. Everyone will benefit then, and our closed-door Cultivation will advance a thousand miles a day."
Jiang Yezi wore a straw cloak, looking like an old man fishing in heavy snow from his appearance. His style was quite different from that of the golden-armored player.
He snorted, "Perspective? If you really had perspective, give me some Medicinal Pills, and I'll continue breaking the formation after I recover."
The several Immortal Foundation Cultivators looked at each other. Well, he was asking for benefits.
Midnight Gao Sou's expression grew even uglier.
He sighed heavily, then finally shot forward, landing in front of Jiang Yezi and tossing him a pot of Medicinal Pills.
Having received the benefits, Jiang Yezi then happily sat cross-legged, adjusting his breath and recovering.
After he had fully recovered, he could then continue breaking the formation, which wasted quite a bit of time.
