Chapter 1172 - Struggle

As Yang Junshan observed carefully, he did not forget about one thing, and that was to try his best to gather the scattered Yuan Qi light beams.

In fact, it was even purer than Earth Energy. In terms of cultivation, this was indeed a good opportunity, at least during the period of time Jiu Si had ascended to the Immortal Realm, the spirit energy that he had gathered, was already equivalent to the amount of time he had spent cultivating in this realm.

The moment one of the Haotian’s mirror passed through the barriers of the starry sky and arrived at the Nine Links Star Palace in a peerless posture, even though its destructive aura had already frightened all the existences in the Nine Links Star Palace that were paying attention to Jiu Si’s deities, even the one and only deity in the, who was scared to the point of running away, for some unknown reason, not only did Yang Junshan not feel the slightest bit of fear, he could not help but feel a sense of familiarity towards the mirror light, and even wanted to walk forward and touch the light, which made Yang Junshan feel like he had seen a ghost.

“He’s still here, I just wonder if Senior Jiu Si can avoid the Haotian’s mirror’s pursuit.”

Yang Junshan was also faintly nervous in his heart. He did not know if the immortal formation that he had spent nearly fifteen years repairing, could last until Celestial Sovereign refined the cultivation world’s source imprint left behind in his primordial spirit under the shine of the Haotian’s mirror.

There were many names for this kind of source imprint, some called “Heaven and Earth Mark”, some called “Will Mark”, “Clear Sky Mark”, “World Mark”, etc.

It was a common symbol of all the creatures born in that world. After the cultivators stepped on the road of immortality, because of the ascension in one’s life, they originally possessed the ability to refine the “World Seal” in their body, but because of the existence of the Haotian’s mirror, they were often refined before the Celestial Sovereign could reach the level of Primordial Immortal, allowing the to find them and absorb a bit of their God Soul, which was also known as the “Destiny Soul”. Thus, they were trapped in this world and could not escape.

Strictly speaking, although the Haotian’s mirror had taken a part of their life’s soul, it actually didn’t have much of a restraining force on these Celestial Sovereign s. Normally, the Haotian’s mirror wouldn’t force them to do anything, but as an immortal, who would be willing to place their life in the hands of others?

And only those cultivators who could cross over the Primordial Immortal and rely on their tyrannical bodies as carriers, and who could step into the Golden Body Wonderland Realm in one go, and who were also known as “Fleshly Sanctification”, could rely on their tyrannical bodies to resist the light of the Haotian’s mirror, and obtain sufficient time for themselves to refine the world imprint in their bodies, allowing them to transcend this world.

Although it was nooad that no one had ever tread before, no one had ever truly been able to pass through it. Even when the Grand Taoist Jiu Ren had obviously reached the level of the Golden Body Immortal and was about to succeed, in the end, he still failed.

How would Jiu Si dare to be shined upon by the mirror light? As the layers and layers of space around the mirror light were being compressed, he even gave up on participating in the battle of spirit. Witurn of his body, he entered the Great Guardian Formation of the Stellar Cliffs.

The moment the starry sky was penetrated by the mirror light, had already activated his array formation, and the array formation that Yang Junshan had repaired was activated layer by layer. The three meteors in the sky above the Stellar Cliffs and the array formation on the ground resonated with each other, and the three horns on each meteor suddenly released a ray of light, connecting together in midair and forming a triangle-shaped formation that covered the entire sky above the Stellar Cliffs.

And just at that moment, the Haotian’s mirror’s light beam was suddenly blocked by the triangular formation!

He blocked it, he really blocked it!

Yang Junshan’s expression was excited. As a cultivator of the Seven Stars Immortal Formation, Yang Junshan was norue array immortal master, so whether or not the Seven Stars residual array could display part of the power of the immortal formation was unknown even to Yang Junshan himself. Naturally, he felt nervous in his heart, and as a result, when the Haotian’s mirror was hindered by the array screen, the sense of accomplishment he felt from the bottom of his heart made him extremely excited.

Of course, it was still far from being able to explain how long the seven star residual array could be compared to the Haotian’s mirror. Not to mention how much of its power the Haotian’s mirror would still have after being weakened by the layers of space in the distant starry sky, even if the residual array could stop the mirror light for now, it would still broblem. At the very least, Yang Junshan did not believe that could refine the heaven and earth imprint in his primordial spirit in such a short period of time.

He blocked it, he really blocked it!

Jiu Si was excited as well. This showed that the method he had chosen was effective and workable. At the very least, this formation was trying to buy time for him to refine the World Seal in his body.

However, Haotian’s mirror was a mid-grade immortal equipment and it also possessed a part of the world’s power. Its power was enough to scare away all the veteran Primordial Immortal cultivators the moment it appeared.

Just when Yang Junshan was still immersed in his joy at the success of the Seven Stars Immortal Formation, the triangular formation formed by the three meteorites above Stellar Cliffs suddenly smiled under the illumination of the Haotian’s mirror, and the pillar of light passed through the formation and rushed towards the Seven Stars Arrays that shrouded the Stellar Cliffs.

Yang Junshan’s heart trembled. Fortunately, Celestial Sovereign’s reaction speed was not slow, the grand immortal array could not only haverimeter of defense, following the formation’s transformation, the array formation that was formed with the stacking of three treasures, and the fourth and fifth incomplete treasure array formation to create a barrier of light once again. The defensive power of this barrier of light was even stronger than the triangular formation that was previously constructed by the three array bases in the sky.

The Haotian’s mirror light was once again blocked, and this time, following the disappearance of the mirror light and the constant reconstruction of the formation, the two sides were in a deadlock in the air.

Although the immortal formation seemed to be blocking the mirror light’s corrosion, it was actually only barely formed after he used his full strength. As the person who could bear the brunt of the resistance from the Haotian’s mirror, not only did Jiu Si sense that the mirror light was still accumulating power, but because he was using all his strength to block the light of the Haotian’s mirror, the refining of the World Seal in his body was already being disturbed.

Fortunately, Yang Junshan had already given the control of the Immortal Formation to his, but as a cultivator of the Immortal Formation, other than Jiu Si, who was the true controller of the Immortal Formation, Yang Junshan had the best understanding of the Immortal Formation.

Although this caused the cultivators of Stellar Cliffs to heave a sigh of relief, Yang Junshan understood that the circulation of the Immortal Array had already reached its limit. However, the Haotian’s mirror still had some energy, and from the looks of it, the Haotian’s mirror was gathering its energy and launching a larger scale attack, at that time, the Seven Stars Immortal Array might not be able to hold on, as for the cultivators of Stellar Cliffs, who were trembling in fear, they did not need to panic at all. This mirror light was originally only aimed at, even if it had broken through the barrier of the Immortal Array, it would not cause any harm to them.

And it was at this moment that Yang Junshan astonishingly discovered that the mirror light that had not yet launched its attack was actually moving forward slowly within the formation curtain!

Of course, Yang Junshan did not know that it was due to the fact that Celestial Sovereign had to draw ouortion of his power to quickly refine the World Seal within his body, but he knew that if the mirror light was unable to resist the Immortal Formation while it was still accumulating energy, then once the mirror light was done accumulating energy and attacked, the Immortal Formation would immediately collapse, and everything that Jiu Si Celestial Sovereign had been seeking would instantly vanish into nothingness.

Therefore, Yang Junshan took the risk of interfering with Celestial Sovereign and sent a sound transmission to his general location.

Almost at the same time Yang Junshan sent this message, an even denser ray of light suddenly erupted from the starry universe that had been penetrated by the mirror light. It charged straight towards the Stellar Cliffs along the path that the mirror light had opened previously, this was the second attack from the mirror light.

Fortunately, Yang Junshan’s sound transmission was timely, and just as the second flash of light from the Haotian’s mirror arrived, Daoist Jiu Si barely managed to use the power of the immortal formation as he formed three meteors at the base of the formation into a straight line, blocking the trajectory of the tunnel that the Haotian’s mirror was shooting at.

The second attack from the mirror light directly reduced the size of the three formation base meteorites by a third. However, what was fortunate was that Daoist Jiu Si still blocked the second attack from the mirror light after all. Even though the mirror light was speeding up inside the formation, it still avoided the collapse of the immortal formation.

Somewhere in the Stellar Cliffs, the Taoist Red Star found the Taoist Mo Ya and whispered, “Master is paying the price of the Stellar Cliffs’s protective immortal array being destroyed to block this light that I don’t even know where!”

Taoist Mo Ya looked at Taoist Red Star for a long time, then turned his gaze back to the golden light that was slowly flowing in.

As the Lingxiao Hall climbed the Immortal Cliff, more and more divine intents gathered in the void.

“The first mirror light has already been released, yet Jiu Si can actually endure for such a long time. Looks like it’s really been planned for a long time!” A strand of spiritual will sighed.

That Jiu Si is hiding somewhere in the starry sky. Even the Haotian’s mirror would need a lot of time to pass through the layers of space at such a distance. A stream of telepathic thoughts revealed a clear sense of disdain.

At this time, the Haotian’s mirror suspended in the air suddenly swelled up. Like a fountain that had been held in the ground for a long time, it once again shot ouhick ball of light following the trajectory of the light source.

“Second time assaulting the mirror light!”

“It’s actually the second time the mirror light has attempted to break through!”

Compared to the earlier exchange of consciousness that held quite a bit of contempt for Jiu Si, this time, the interweaving of his consciousness was even more filled with praise and astonishment.

“No matter what, Fellow Jiu Si is already quite impressive to be able to last until the second mirror light charge in.”

“Even those cultivators who have followed the path of the Golden Body Immortal, most of them can only last until the second time, right?”

“Could it be that the genius array brat Yuzhou really has some skills?”

At most, it will only be the second mirror light. Jiu Si will not be able to persevere any longer, and even those existences that had attempted to become Saints, most of them were washed away by the second mirror light. Their bodies melted and their primordial spirits were also burnt into ashes.

“Hmph, this old man thinks that everyone has overestimated Jiu Si. But because of the distance, the Haotian’s mirror had to pass through layers of spatial barrier and consume too much energy, if not, how could Jiu Si be able to last until the second mirror light attack?”

“What you say is not unreasonable.”

“Let’s just wait and see. No matter what, it’s not easy for Jiu Si to last until now. When he returns, we can ask him what method he used.”

“Speaking of which, everyone, the second shock wave should have passed a long time ago, right?”

The divine sense that had been communicating frequently suddenly quieted down in a strange manner. Afterwards, an ancient thought that had appeared in the beginning suddenly and explosively shouted, “Hurry up and go!”

The intertwining telepathic thoughts in the air suddenly moved away like frightened rabbits.

It was at this time that a voice that sounded like sleep talk suddenly resounded within the entire Lingxiao Hall, just likerson who had been disturbed and instinctively expressed his dissatisfaction, but the moment this voice appeared, the Haotian’s mirror that was hanging in the air seemed to be ruthlessly shaken by someone, and the main body of the mirror violently trembled as it suddenly spewed out a third bright and rich brilliance.
