“Ha ha, it seems like I am the first one to take the lead this time!”
Celestial Lord Fu Zhen laughed loudly. The mirror light of the Eight Trigrams Mirror shone onto a certain place in the canyon and layers of wrinkles that were like water waves began to surface within the light pillar of the mirror light.
“I got you, let’s see where you can run to!”
Celestial Lord Fu Zhen’s tone carried some excitement, as if he was extremely interested in the weakness of this plane barrier.
But at this time, Yang Junshan saw that the layers of wrinkles on the mirror light began to spread toward the mirror surface of the Eight Trigrams Mirror along the pillar of light.
“Be careful!” Yang Junshan reminded.
Celestial Lord Fu Zhen laughed and said, “I’ve been waiting for you!”
As he finished speaking, he suddenly tapped the back of the mirror with his hand. Following a slight tremor, the surface of the mirror emitted a brilliant light, which was several times richer than before, and instantly dropped down, washing away the spatial ripples that were spreading upwards. In the end, he hit a certain place in the void illuminated by the mirror light.
The dense mirror light began to rapidly deplete its energy. The originally empty space was pierced through like a layer of paper, and then spread outwards, gradually forming a three foot radius spatial rift.
The movement here was quickly investigated by Yan Zongsheng. The space not far from the two of them suddenly shook, and before Yang Junshan and Fu Zhen could react, Yan Xinyuan’s figure had already appeared there.
“You found it?” The moment Yan Xinyuan appeared, he asked.
Yang Junshan could even hear some suppressed emotions from his tone.
“That’s right, but we can’t go any further. This rift is too fragile. If we continue to expand, it might cause space to tremble and eventually cause the rift to collapse.” The Celestial Lord Fu Zhen said.
Yan Xinyuan nodded his head: “It’s not wrong to be cautious, but what’s more important is the plane barrier that are connected to the Nine Heavens at the crack. So, you must be careful, in case the Heavenly Emperor of Sector lord finds out and made preparations.”
However, just as Yan Xinyuan had finished speaking, a violent shock wave suddenly appeared. The edges of the one meter wide spatial crack that was originally created by the Eight Trigrams Golden Light had begun to appear amidst the light trembling.
“What’s going on?” Yan Xinyuan frowned.
The Celestial Lord Fu Zhen’s expression sank. The mirror light from the Eight Trigrams Mirror seemed to rush into the crack in space as though it was real, but it was still unable to sustain the flow of the crack.
“The balance of space here is too fragile, I’m afraid this rift won’t be able to be maintained.” Celestial Lord Fu Zhen said in a deep voice.
Yan Xinyuan said in anger: “No, we must maintain the spatial entrance here, otherwise we will definitely fail when we plot against the Nine Heavens.”
The immortal elemental energy in Celestial Lord Fu Zhen’s body poured endlessly into the Eight Trigrams Mirror, to the point that beads of sweat were already forming on his forehead. It was obvious that he had already unleashed his full strength.
“The crack can barely be maintained, but I’m afraid it will cause a spatial collapse inside the crack, and the disturbance will be too uncontrollable. I’m afraid we’ll be in contact with the plane barrier!” Celestial Lord Fu Zhen started to find it difficult to even speak.
Yan Xinyuan panicked and said, “What should I do — —”
Before his words had even finished, a yellow light suddenly surged before his eyes, and likhin layer of fog, it shrouded the space around the space crack, but Yang Junshan had already brought out her own Chess plate.
After being refined by Yang Junshan, this Chess plate, which was entirely made from Earth Elemental Treasures, could easily be converted between real and fake. And at this moment, this Chess plate had already fused into the void.
Rays of squares appeared in this layer of fog, as if the space of the canyon had been divided into small areas.
Moreover, those square lines seemed to have a faint layer of spatial energy, completely separating the areas that were separated from each other.
“You —” Yan Xinyuan looked at Yang Junshan, who was beside Celestial Lord Fu Zhen, in shock.
“Let me give iry and see if I can stabilize the space here!” Yang Junshan said indifferently, his two hands each grabbing a handful of black and white chess pieces.
Without waiting for Yan Xinyuan to react, Celestial Lord Fu Zhen spoke up from the side: “I will treat this as living treatment, but Taoist Yang needs to quickly, I’m afraid that I won’t be able to hold on for much longer!”
This Celestial Sovereign evidently did not have much confidence in Yang Junshan’s methods, but the current situation did not allow him to hesitate, and he could only gamble.
Although Celestial Lord Fu Zhen admired Yang Junshan’s attainments in array formations, the methods he saw to open up the void and stabilize the space, all of them involved the methods of an array immortal master. As such, he was not very confident in Yang Junshan’s actions.
But just as Celestial Lord Fu Zhen finished speaking, Yang Junshan raised both of his hands, releasing dozens of black and white chess pieces out of his hands and landed on the Chess plate that had merged with the air.
Actually, the moment Yang Junshan took out the Chess plate and fused it with the air, Celestial Lord Fu Zhen had already sensed that the plate had a stable effect on the fragile space. However, this kind of effect was far from enough.
However, when the black and white chess pieces landed on the chessboard and merged into the air, Celestial Lord Fu Zhen could clearly sense that every single one of the chess pieces had landed on a spot where the spatial cracks had collapsed.
Every time a chess piece landed, it would nail down a nail on the edge of the space between two pieces, or even three or four pieces.
The moment the dozens of black and white chess pieces fell, the collapse of the void was suddenly suppressed.
“Alright!” Yan Zongsheng praised loudly.
Although Yan Xinyuan could not do suching, it did not stop him from being able to tell that the situation had turned for the better.
Compared to Yan Zongsheng’s admiration, Celestial Lord Fu Zhen’s face was already filled with astonishment.
Even though Yan Zongsheng was able to see that Yang Junshan had stabilized the space that was originally about to collapse, he didn’t know what it meant by being able to do all these.
But Celestial Lord Fu Zhen knew very well that if it wasn’t for Yang Junshan, not only would this stretch of space shatter, it would even trigger a large scale spatial turbulence. At that time, not only would this canyon be razed to the ground, the plane barrier in charge of the Nine Heavens would definitely be touched.
Yang Junshan’s method was not only as simple as stabilizing the shattered space, he also avoided the eruption of spatial turbulence.
However, in terms of the Dao of array formations, this was only possible when one’s mastery of array formations had reached the level of an array immortal master.
At least, at that time Celestial Lord Fu Zhen did not have any energy left to stop the outbreak of the spatial storm in order to maintain the spatial rift that he had opened.
This also meant that Yang Junshan’s current Accomplishment of Array Path had actually reached the level of an array dao immortal master!
At this time, Celestial Lord Fu Zhen’s heart was filled with mixed emotions, to the point where his face was burning with discomfort.
Whether it was his attitude or tone, all of them viewed Yang Junshan as a junior in terms of array dao.
However, the reality before his eyes proved, Yang Junshan’s Accomplishment of Array Path was not necessarily below him, and it might even be above him. At the very least, his array dao cultivation had already reached the level of an array dao immortal master, there was no doubt about it.
Fortunately, Celestial Lord Fu Zhen’s goal was to support his descendants, and it was possible that he had the intention to earn some favors, but in the end, he did not have the intention to hide it anymore. Even though he felt a bit embarrassed, it was still alright.
“Taoist Yang, what you’re hiding is actually a bit unkind!” Celestial Lord Fu Zhen could not help but laugh bitterly.
“What?” Yang Junshan was a little confused.
When the Celestial Lord Fu Zhen saw that Yang Junshan’s expression did not seem fake, he asked again, “Fellow, did you really only use the Chess to deduce the Immortal Grade Array, and not personally set it up?”
Yang Junshan shook his head and laughed: “How come fellow daoist does not believe me?”
Celestial Lord Fu Zhen waved his hand and sighed: “There is a saying among array masters from the ancient sects, that is, the level of Chess deductions that the array masters from the ancient sects have. I originally thought that this saying was not strict, how could a array master who has not gone through the actual array manipulation process be able to determine the level of attainment? After all, there is no lack of arrogant individuals in the training world.
Yang Junshan was at a loss, and asked: “Fellow Daoist Fu, what do you mean by that?”
Celestial Lord Fu Zhen looked deeply at Yang Junshan, and said: “Taoist Yang, the truth is, your esteemed Accomplishment of Array Path is undoubtedly an array immortal master!”
Yang Junshan was still in a daze, but Yan Zongsheng suddenly laughed out loud: “Alright, alright, alright, so it turns out that Taoist Yang is deeply hidden, and is actually an array immortal master.
Yang Junshan repeatedly said that he did not dare, but he was not surprised by the change in attitude that Yan Zongsheng had. This was because if what the Celestial Lord Fu Zhen said was not false, as an array immortal master, Yang Junshan definitely had the qualifications to be on equal footing with the sage of the Great Luo Sect.
Yan Zongsheng laughed: “I never thought that this old man would actually have the help of two formation immortal masters, I believe that opening a spatial passageway to the Nine Heavens this time is definitely going to happen.”
The Celestial Lord Fu Zhen heard and laughed: “The spatial rift has already opened, what’s left is to expand and deeply open the tunnel, this is something I can do, but during this process, it will be up to Taoist Yang to be able to maintain the stability of the void.”
Yang Junshan extended his hand and several black and white chess pieces were nailed into the air, his expression did not relax just because he was already an array immortal master, and said with focus: “I will do my best.”
Celestial Lord Fu Zhen smiled slightly. He reached out his hand and pressed it on the back of the mirror floating in front of him, causing another thick mirror light to crash into the crack in space …
