Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme-Chapter 863 - 534: Harvest

Chapter 863: Chapter 534: Harvest

Ninth Heaven Sword Pavilion, Ten Thousand Ren Solitary Peak.

“Master!”

Guan Xiaoyue stood alone, his brows tightly furrowed and his mind unsettled.

As Qi Zhengming’s closed-door disciple, known as “Qiankun Junior Sword – Xiaoyue Child,” he was a newly ascended Calamity Immortal. Therefore, he stayed behind to guard the Sect and did not rush to the Southern Sea with the others.

At this moment, his heart was in turmoil, giving rise to a sense of unease.

Where did this unease come from?

...

He did not know.

“Master has completed the Nine Tribulations and become a True Immortal, holding a treasure like the Xiaohuang Sword in hand. Who within the Northern Domain could be his match?”

“Even Li Xuanyuan, with all his tricks, would have to lie low and avoid confrontation, waiting for Master’s Ascension before plotting his next move.”

“Yet, his Wandao School has long been a thorn in the side of all the Sacred Places. Not to mention Taixuan Tao Mountain, even Haoyu Heavenly Sect would mobilize both Sixth Order powers and Heavenly Secret treasures to cooperate with Master and leave him no place to hide.”

“With such an arrangement, covering all bases, nothing should go wrong. So why do I still feel so restless?”

“Could it be…!?”

Guan Xiaoyue frowned and made a move, producing a small sword in his palm. In coordination with the Ten Thousand Ren Solitary Peak and the mountain gate of the Sword Pavilion, the heavens and earth roared. Spiritual energy surged like a tide, and a Formation slowly unfolded, covering the entire Ninth Heaven Sword Pavilion.

It was precisely the Ninth Heaven Sword Pavilion’s Sect-protecting formation – the Ninth Heaven Divine Thunder Sword Great Array!

This Array was ranked at the Seventh Order and was a Superior Grade Termination Array. With a Formation Master presiding over it, it could even be temporarily brought up to the Eighth Order boundary. Below the Tribulation Realm, it meant certain death without being a True Immortal, one would have to breach it.

The Ninth Heaven Sword Pavilion, standing tall in the Northern Domain for hundreds of thousands of years with an unbroken lineage, owed much to this Array.

The Formation began, connecting heaven and earth, and the Ninth Heaven Sword Intent pressured for ten thousand miles!

Immediately afterward, two beams of Sword Light rushed toward the solitary peak, hesitantly landing in front of Guan Xiaoyue.

“Little Junior Brother!”

“What has happened?”

“To activate the Ninth Heaven Great Array?”

The two were also of Tribulation Realm cultivation, looking at Guan Xiaoyue, who was controlling the sword array, and they anxiously asked for the reason.

Li Jinling’s face was as grim as water as he explained, “That Li Xuanyuan is a deceitful man who also understands the Heavenly Secret Technique and the art of concealment. Should he exploit the interval of Master’s departure to the Southern Sea and launch a diversionary attack on our Ninth Heaven Sword Pavilion, it would spell trouble. Therefore, I have decided to activate the Great Array until Master returns.”

“This…”

The two exchanged glances, their eyebrows furrowed, but without counterargument, they said solemnly, “Little Junior Brother is astute and far-sighted. Li Xuanyuan once sowed chaos in the Northern Domain with his diversionary tactics, looting the treasuries of various Sects’ mountain gates. Our Sword Pavilion must not let him succeed.”

“Indeed!”

Guan Xiaoyue nodded, then said to the two, “Although the Great Array is activated, I still need to trouble…”

“Boom boom boom!”

Before he finished his sentence, thunder sounded, and the Great Array’s energy mechanism responded violently.

“Hmm!?”

Guan Xiaoyue’s pupils shrank, and he looked up to see, in the high heavens under the bright moon, a figure in white clothes whiter than snow, drifting over.

Though the figure appeared ethereal, his aura was fierce like a wild dragon breaking through, pressuring down. It forced the Ninth Heaven Sword Array to react as if facing a formidable enemy.

It was…

“Li Xuanyuan!”

Guan Xiaoyue’s eyes narrowed, his face drastically changed, and the two beside him were even more terrified.

Although they had just now agreed with Guan Xiaoyue’s words, it was merely out of courtesy to his status; deep down, they did not believe it at all.

After all, with a True Immortal taking action and the Sacred Places moving in concert, coupled with Taixuan Haoyu Heavenly Mechanism Divination, how could Li Xuanyuan escape this Heavenly Net and Earthly Trap and strike from the shadows at their Ninth Heaven Sword Pavilion in the Central Plains?

It was simply unrealistic.

Unless…

“Qi Zhengming is dead, and Xiao Buping has been executed. Submit yourselves and you may yet be spared!”

With a sword thrown down and landing before the Array, booming words echoed like thunder, shaking inside and outside the mountain gate.

“The Xiaohuang Sword!”

“How is this possible!?”

Seeing the Xiaohuang Sword lying before the Array, the two Calamity Immortals were even more astonished and found it hard to accept this turn of events.

Guan Xiaoyue’s face was as solemn as water. Although equally shocked, he still stood his ground.

“A mere illusion, a deceiving trick, do you think you can fool anyone?”

“Hmph!”

Guan Xiaoyue snorted coldly, looking to his sides, “Senior Brothers, no need to concern ourselves, let’s firmly hold the formation and give this man no opportunity. Once Master returns, his dreams will come to nothing.”

“This…”

“Yes!!”

The two exchanged glances and could only agree, however begrudgingly.

An illusion?

Is it truly an illusion?

It must be, it absolutely must be!

How could a mere Tribulation Realm cultivator obtain the Xiaohuang Sword?

Senior Brother Qi is a Nine Tribulations True Immortal. Even if he’s ambushed and momentarily overwhelmed, with the foundation of a True Immortal and the Sword Pavilion’s background, retreating safely should be no problem. At worst, he could ascend to the Upper Realm; how could he be killed and robbed?

Therefore, this must be an illusion, no doubt an illusion!

The two cut off distracting thoughts, suppressed their unease, and headed towards vital points of the formation.

Guan Xiaoyue said no more, operating the Immortal Treasure Formation Instrument in his hands, linking the Ninth Heaven’s might. With divine thunder commanding the sword, and the sword commanding divine thunder, the mountain gate of the Sword Pavilion was transformed into a Ninth Heaven Thunder Prison in an instant, leaving no gap for anyone to exploit.

Ninth Heaven Sword Pavilion also practices the Way of the Heavenly Sword, inheriting swordsmanship, thunder series, and Array Formation methods. They have not only Sword Cultivators but also Thunder Cultivators as well as Array Formation Grandmasters.

As a True Immortal’s direct disciple, Guan Xiaoyue is also a Heaven Sword Cultivator with an Array Formation ability that has reached the Seventh Rank. Qi Zhengming considers him his rightful successor, the future True Immortal.

With his level of Array Formation, backed by the Immortal Treasure in his hands, Guan Xiaoyue was confident that he could delay any powerful being under the Fifth or Sixth Stages, even those nearly a True Immortal at the Seventh or Eighth Levels, for some time.

Xu Yang saw this and did not force an attack, standing outside the array with all the time in the world.

This posture made Guan Xiaoyue’s brows furrow more deeply, and his heart sank lower and lower.

There must be a demon behind anything unusual!

This man was too composed, letting time slip by, he must have something to rely on.

Could it be…

Guan Xiaoyue’s gaze hardened, and although his expression remained unchanged, he secretly dispatched his spirit, quietly slipping underground.
