Stealthily cultivating in the chaotic world of demons and martial artists
Chapter 1183 - 1037: Ice Sphere

Chapter 1183: Chapter 1037: Ice Sphere

Mount Fengxue.

"The Great Array, activate!"

Yu Xuan pondered deeply and finally made a decision.

Although the Ascension Alliance’s invasion was fierce, and Lord Green Cloud seemed even stronger than Lord Wanxing, he was, after all, an Ascending Cultivator!

Even if he succeeded temporarily, once the other Taoist Masters from different Immortal Domains reacted, they would likely face a siege.

Moreover, the righteous reputation of Beichen Immortal Palace had been rooted in people’s hearts for countless eons.

In such a power struggle, without sufficient strength, being a fence-sitter would only lead to being eliminated by both sides together.

Since she had decided to join Beichen Immortal Palace, she immediately ordered the activation of the entire array.

When Yun Li, Spring Dawn, and other Immortals who came to congratulate them saw this scene, they originally intended to leave directly.

Unexpectedly, Yu Xuan, with a smile, directly activated the array, isolating the inside from the outside.

A blizzard engulfed the surroundings, with countless Ice Phoenixes, Ice Jiaos, and Ice Beasts soaring within.

"What are you doing..."

A cultivator from Fierce Blade Sect, surnamed Jin, exclaimed angrily.

"Hmph... Such Ascending beings, sooner or later, we’ll trample them underfoot. Have you decided to abandon the light and seek the dark, to aid a tyrant?"

Xing Xuanzi sneered, "The events of today, I will surely report in detail to the Palace Master and the Supreme Elder."

Upon hearing this, the color drained from the faces of these few Immortals. They then gave a bitter smile and bowed, "We naturally look up to the Immortal Palace as our leader..."

In reality, they were all fence-sitters, but now, compelled by the circumstances, they were forced to make a decision.

Their stance essentially represented the stance of the forces behind them.

After all, these minor forces only had one or two Immortals.

At that moment, the Sound of the Dragon and Phoenix’s Harmonious Cry greatly intensified outside.

Two terrifying surges of Magic Power came through, causing rapid changes in expressions among many Immortals.

Fang Xi glanced over and sneered inwardly.

The Beichen Immortal Domain was a remote corner in the True Immortal Realm; truly promising Immortals had long left, seeking the path of the Taoist Masters.

Those who remained were naturally misfits, like the Shadow Immortal, who was merely a Ghost Immortal.

And that person surnamed Huo from before was just an Immortal.

Such Immortals and Ghost Immortals, after breaking through the Immortal realm, could not continue cultivating, and couldn’t even achieve perfection in the first step of combining the magic power with the Law.

Their combat power was at the bottom among a group of Immortals.

The last time they fought the Five Friends of Longshan, it was the Shadow Immortal who was beaten the worst.

Of course, even if these Immortals and Ghost Immortals had weak magic power, if they cultivated some powerful Secret Skills, or wielded True Immortal level Puppets or Taoist Devices, they too could exhibit decent combat power; they just couldn’t break through their realm limitations.

Although Abundant Karma House had many Immortals, at least half of them were of such quality.

"There might be one or two old ancestor-like figures hidden at most, but they are only at the second or third step of Combine Taoist... In peaceful times, that would naturally be enough, but now it is somewhat..."

Fang Xi looked at Yu Xuan, and really wanted to say with great timing, ’Miss, the times have changed...’

But he held back at that moment.

His divine thought looking towards the outside carried a bit of a strange emotion.

The moment he heard the first sound of the Dragon and Phoenix Harmoniously Sounding, he already knew it had to be someone familiar!

At that moment, he saw the heavens and earth rumble, countless Phoenix Seal Script flying in like snowflakes, smashing into the array, shattering many ice beasts, and even forming several ice tornadoes that pierced through the heavens and the earth.

Standing below the nine columns of wind were two figures.

It was Feng Huang and Ao Yan!

"So, it is Mrs. Feng!"

Xuan Qing had met Feng Huang before and had a bit of an acquaintance, so he braced himself to step forward, "Today is the joy of our new Master of Abundant Karma House’s ascension to Immortality. Would the two of you care for a cup of Water Wine..."

"Hmph, save your breath!"

Ao Yan let out a long howl, "We, who are Immortals, have undergone countless trials and tribulations. Such petty tricks are unnecessary... I only ask you this once, are you willing to submit to the Ascension Alliance and kill Xing Xuanzi?"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Qing’s face became extremely grim.

"Sigh... At this point, we can only rely on the array for defense."

Yu Xuan clearly knew what caliber her own Immortals were, and what caliber the cultivators from the Ascension Alliance were.

Ascending Immortals were mostly known for their expertise in battle. This dragon and phoenix were both at the second step of Combine Taoist.

Even if there was a mass assault, it’s likely that the two Immortals on the other side would severely beat up a group of Immortals!

She raised her hand, and several Array Flags flew out, and also a divine thought, "These are the ’Nine Heavens Ice Halo Array Flags,’ this array requires..."

She offered a few pointers, all about the knack of operating the Array.

Although the Immortals were not Immortal Array Masters, as long as they understood a bit and followed the guidelines to input Magic Power, it was not difficult.

Whoosh!

Fang Xi received a small white flag and, hearing her words, simply smiled and also channeled his own Magic Power into it.

He had joined the Abundant Karma House originally just freeload.

Later, appreciating the cause and effect of them gifting him cultivation methods and manuals, he helped out with a few things.

Previously, he had come forward to resist the Five Friends of Longshan, which was already beyond the call of duty.

Now, by operating the array again, he considered his debts paid.

If Abundant Karma House could withstand this, he could continue to stay and freeload.

But if they couldn’t hold off the attack, they shouldn’t blame him for running away.

Whoosh!

With a joint force of nearly a dozen Immortals and the Ninth Tier top grade "Nine Heavens Ice Halo Array," how terrifying was its might?

In the Void, the blizzard suddenly increased tenfold, carrying with it a chill that seemed capable of freezing the Origin Soul!

Countless white silken threads converged to form a giant of ice and snow; its aura rapidly climbed, quickly reaching the realm of True Immortal Perfection, and then progressing to the Jade Terrace stage...

Perpetual ice gathered upon its figure, draping it in a layer of icy crystal armor, within which countless Phoenix Seals flickered like Spirit Fish swimming.

The ice and snow giant roared angrily, visible sound waves gathering like a layer of raging waves!

As the waves surged forth, the ice and snow tornado utterly collapsed!

"Good, I had heard that Abundant Karma House is one of the top business clans in the Beichen Immortal Domain, and indeed, its protective Great Array is extraordinary..."

Ao Yan praised, his hands gathering the Dragon Chapter Script into purple light; the Law of Time was activated, forming into a purple Taoist Seed.

The surrounding environment suddenly became illusory, as if the river of time itself was subtly disturbed.

The invisible waves suddenly froze in place, as if time had stopped.

But upon closer inspection, one could see that the shockwave was still advancing, only its speed was slowed to an almost stagnant pace.

The Law of Time, after all, was one of the most powerful among the many Laws!

Cultivating such a Law, a Jade Terrace True Immortal’s combat power was absolutely far superior to that of ordinary Jade Terrace Immortals!

Beside them, Feng Huang, clad in silver-white armor, flickered with silver light in her eyes, suddenly reaching out to grasp.

Whoosh!

Above Mount Fengxue, a section of the Void suddenly collapsed, a terrifying Void Storm sweeping away a mountain peak, exposing the fragmented array apparatus.

This ancestor of the phoenixes turned out to be an Immortal Array Master!

In quick succession, under the fluctuations of the Void Force, several Array Bases collapsed.

Although the "Nine Heavens Ice Halo Array" had not completely stagnated, it caused the combined Magic Power of many Immortals to become slightly unsynchronized.

"Not good... a Ninth Tier Immortal Array Master?"

Yu Xuan’s face changed, "Fortunately, when this Array was set up, we had already anticipated such a situation. Not only do we have multiple sets of backup Array Flags, but we have other preparations as well!"

She took out a Great Array Prohibition Token, channeling Magic Power into it.

Just in the chaotic streams of the collapsing Void, one array pattern after another appeared directly in the Void.

On a bare flagpole, countless threads reconverged, miraculously reweaving into an Array Flag!

"An indestructible attribute magical treasure?"

Fang Xi saw this and couldn’t help but smile, "That is indeed rare..."

As a fundamental stronghold, several key Array Eyes here had been sacrificially refined with the ’Law of Indestructibility.’ Even if destroyed, they could quickly recover.

"A self-recovering Array, indeed not simple..."

Feng Huang spoke, her voice as unyielding as ageless ice, "It’s just that the operation of the Great Array is like flowing water... Even if the Array Base is destroyed and can recover, that slight disharmony will not immediately disappear..."

Chirp!

Before she finished speaking, an immense Silver White Phoenix Phantom suddenly emerged from behind Feng Huang.

This phoenix cried out high, the terrifying Void Force intermingling within the Array, causing the operation of the Array to momentarily pause for a fraction of an instant.

Roar roar!

As a cultivator of the Law of Time, Ao Yan was extremely sensitive to the timing, naturally not missing such an opportunity.

He formed a hand gesture, and behind him emerged a vast purple dragon phantom.

Dragon and Phoenix harmonized their cries, the two Taoist Seeds approaching each other, rotating swiftly like yin and yang.

Time and the Void!

Merged into one, they encompassed the universe!

At this moment, their union carried a hint of the might of the Space-Time Path!

Unfortunately, the Space-Time Path had long been occupied by an unknown, fearsome Taoist Master. Any Prime Taoist Master who attempted to combine Time or Void seeds would instantly perish, dying horribly.

Boom boom boom!

Even just a trace of the Path’s might swept across the ice and snow giant, causing it to instantly collapse.

Atop Mount Fengxue, every Immortal’s face turned pale, the Array Flags in their hands exploding and burning into ashes.

Mountain after mountain collapsed, and the perpetual snowfall of Mount Fengxue, at that moment, completely ceased.

"The Tao... Such might is almost on par with a four-step Combine Taoist," Xing Xuanzi witnessed the scene, his face turning ashen, "Had they used this move earlier, I would surely have had no place to be buried..."

Yu Xuan’s face turned fierce, and Fang Xi keenly felt that there was a hint directed towards Xing Xuanzi.

It seemed that this woman harbored some resentment!

She was even starting to consider switching sides.

As a merchant, adapting to the winds and bending compliantly was necessary.

’But this Secret Skill is indeed powerful, subtly integrating Laws, with a hint of the Space-Time Path...’

’These two ancestors of the Monster Clan are also quite formidable, probably capable of defeating groups like the Five Friends of Longshan...’

Fang Xi thought to himself.

At that moment, Ao Yan shouted, "Abundant Karma House siding with the Beichen Immortal Palace is the same as making an enemy of our Ascension Alliance. We shall not leave a single cultivator of this place alive!"

This cultivator had been enslaved by the Beichen Immortal Palace for many years, already harboring a great deal of rage.

Abundant Karma House had found itself in the line of fire.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xuan immediately hardened her expression and unleashed the "Ten Thousand Heavy Puppets," declaring, "Everyone join forces to meet the enemy. The Yu Family still has one ancestor in closed-door meditation. I shall perform a Secret Skill to call the ancestor forth!"
