Cultivation: Being Immortal - Chapter 215
Yuquan Mountain, outside Jingdu City in the Heavenly Wall Divine Kingdom.
Yuquan Mountain is the ancestral home of the Li family, the foundation of the Divine Kingdom. It is guarded by dedicated personnel and no one is allowed to approach within several hundred miles.
At this moment, two people were engaged in a fierce battle. One with a sword, the other with a spear. Each move they made was powerful enough to shatter rocks and collapse mountains.
“Boom”
After hundreds of moves, Lin Batian, holding a spear, was defeated and sent flying by the person’s sword for hundreds of meters, falling down from a cliff. Just as the person with the sword was about to chase after him, dozens of chains suddenly appeared, trapping his hands and feet.
“Li Yuncheng, you fool, you actually believed Lin Batian’s nonsense.”
Chen Zheng, holding the sword, broke free from the chains on his body and angrily cursed at the sky. He had battled with Lin Batian for over ten years, not knowing how many times he could have killed Lin Batian, but every time, the Formation Spirit intervened and helped Lin Batian escape.
“Boom…”
In response from the sky, dozens of lightning bolts struck down. Chen Zheng’s face changed drastically as he swung his sword to shatter the lightning, then fled. After striking dozens of times, the lightning stopped.
Down below the cliff, Lin Batian struggled to stand up. He opened his storage bag with what little spiritual power he had left and took out some medicine pills to heal his injuries.
“Damn it, Chen Zheng, that old ghost is really rich. I’m almost out of medicine pills and spirit stones.”
Lin Batian looked at the nearly empty storage bag of medicine pills and spirit stones, feeling somewhat unhappy. Over the past ten years, he had fought against Chen Zheng in hundreds of battles, requiring a terrifying amount of spiritual power. However, the Divine Kingdom couldn’t absorb spiritual power and they couldn’t find any replacements. They relied solely on the accumulation in their storage bags. Even though he had prepared in advance, they were about to run out.
And today, when he faced Chen Zheng, he noticed that Chen Zheng’s spiritual power was still strong. He realized that compared to Chen Zheng, he might not be a match.
“Li Yuncheng, come out and meet me.”
Then Lin Batian looked up and shouted loudly. Soon, a ray of light descended from the sky and transformed into a human figure in front of Lin Batian.
“What’s the matter?”
“I’ve run out of spirit stones and pills. Give me some.”
“Hehe.”
“Don’t force me to dig up this Yuquan Mountain. I know that Yuquan Mountain used to be a high-level spiritual mountain…”
“You’re asking for trouble.”
“Haha, just kidding, just kidding. I mean, Li Yuncheng, can’t you just directly defeat Chen Zheng? With your Dutian Formation combining dozens of great arrays, it shouldn’t be difficult to kill him, right?”
“Can’t do it.”
Formation Spirit Li Yuncheng shook his head. In reality, he could do it, but it would come at a heavy cost if he wanted to forcefully suppress a powerful Tao Achieving being. There are still many Divine Kingdom cultivators now, so he couldn’t possibly do it.
“Ah, it would be difficult to wear him down if he can’t do it. You are also unwilling to use the power of the Li family, although they are weak, it would be good to consume a bit of his spiritual energy.”
“The Li family’s descendants are not your cannon fodder.”
“I didn’t treat them as cannon fodder.”
“Stop wasting words and kill him quickly. I’ll let you leave.”
“I’m injured. I need time to heal.”
“You…”
Li Yuncheng’s expression became unpleasant. He now agreed with Chen Zheng’s words. How could he believe Lin Batian’s nonsense and choose to help Lin Batian instead of helping Chen Zheng? If he had helped Chen Zheng, they would have already killed Lin Batian a long time ago.
“Don’t be mad, next time I will definitely defeat him. He doesn’t have much spirit stone medicine left, without spiritual power, what can a Tao Achieving expert do? Can’t stop me with just one spear.”
“Go away.”
Li Yuncheng was angry, he exploded directly, the colorful light returned to the sky, disappearing without a trace.
“You’re so stingy.”
Lin Batian muttered, then tidied up and quietly slipped down from Yuquan Mountain.
In a mansion at the foot of the mountain, Lin Batian met Lin Jiang who had been waiting here for a long time. Lin Jiang found Lin Batian in Jingdu City in his second year and they have already met dozens of times.
“Master of the house.”
“Remember to call me grandfather next time, don’t disrespect your elders.”
“You still couldn’t kill Chen Zheng this time?”
Lin Jiang didn’t dare to reveal his true identity, despite everything.
“No, that old man is wealthy and powerful. How are things going for you?”
“Everything is planned. Numerous forces, both loyal and rebellious, are on the brink of chaos.”
“That’s good. Stick to the plan. Don’t worry about Formation Spirit; they won’t have time or energy to bother you. Just do whatever you want.”
“Can I ask how you managed to make Formation Spirit believe in you?”
Lin Jiang was also curious about what charm Lin Batian had to make Formation Spirit trust him and help him against Chen Zheng. If it wasn’t for their involvement with Formation Spirit, Lin Jiang’s plan in the Immortal Alliance wouldn’t have gone so smoothly.
“With sincerity, you can win people’s hearts.”
“That’s nonsense.”
“Haha, don’t worry about it. Chen Zheng is doomed, no one can save him now.”
“Landlord, don’t forget the four major families. Will they attack from outside?”
Lin Jiang said that inside the Divine Kingdom, he planned carefully, but outside the Divine Kingdom, there was a big uncertainty.
“If they can’t break in, that guy Li Yuncheng isn’t weak. If he were weak, he would have been killed already.”
“I’m still worried.”
“Don’t worry, I have a backup plan. Just do as I say.”
Lin Batian shook his hand, he had been planning this for many years, he wouldn’t allow failure.
Seeing this, Lin Jiang didn’t say much. He had advised Lin Batian many times, but Lin Batian wasn’t easily persuaded. Besides, killing Chen Zheng was also seeking revenge for the Five Elements Sect, so Lin Jiang didn’t care so much.
·········
Outside the Heavenly Wall, dozens of figures floated in mid-air. They formed a formation and transformed into a huge sword, slashing towards the Heavenly Wall.
The scary sword strike came down, and the Heavenly Wall created an illusion to catch the sword strike, disappearing without a trace.
“Stop!”
One person waved their hand, and everyone stopped.
“We can’t break through. Li Yuncheng is using formation power to disperse our attacks underground. It’s like trying to break through thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. We need to negotiate instead.”
“I’ll go get Li Yuncheng.”
Another person said and then walked up, performed a spell, summoning Li Yuncheng. Li Yuncheng transformed and appeared in front of everyone.
“Li Yuncheng, how can we free Chen Zheng?”
“Those who enter the Divine Kingdom die. This is a rule I set many years ago. Since you ignore my rules, you will pay the price.”
“Li Yuncheng, don’t you have any respect for the Li family and the four major clans?”
“Ha ha, if we talk about the past, then we are enemies.”
Li Yuncheng sneered and said. When Li Family’s Divine Kingdom was attacked by the monster tribe, the human cultivators not only didn’t help them, but betrayed the Li family. The four great clans also put in a lot of effort. We are still enemies, you know.
“Li Yuncheng, don’t think that I can’t do anything to you. If you really anger me, believe me, I can destroy you.”
“Stop boasting. If you have the guts, take action. If we’re going to die, we’ll take Chen Zheng with us. Go ahead and attack.”
“You…”
“Li Yuncheng, give us your conditions. Release Chen Zheng, and we will help you connect the spiritual veins. Without the spiritual veins, you will become weaker and weaker. You won’t be able to hold on.”
“Ha ha.”
With a cold laugh, Li Yuncheng disappeared right then and there, leaving the two of them furious.
“Brother Lu, how do we deal with Li Yuncheng? He’s impossible to handle.”
“I don’t know either. In the past, the Li family faced enemies and was betrayed by humans. Li Yuncheng, feeling disillusioned with humans, turned himself into a Formation Spirit. This clearly shows his stubborn personality. It’s difficult to persuade him.”
“So we just have to watch Chen Zheng die, huh? The four major families are closely connected. Green Emperor Tomb…”
“Let’s stop talking.”
“Yes.”
“You continue attacking here. I can sense that Li Yuncheng is much weaker than before. It’s draining his power. I’ll go find someone to refine an Eighth Order Breaking Formation Pearl. If this treasure can succeed, breaking through this Dutian Formation will be a piece of cake.”
Lu Family’s ancestor said. The Dutian Formation is not invincible. It’s just that breaking it is too costly. Most of the forces in the cultivation world are unwilling to pay this price. After all, the Dutian Formation doesn’t move from here. As long as we avoid it, there won’t be any loss of benefits.
But now they can’t just sit and watch anymore. Tao Achieving Ancestor is truly honorable, and there aren’t many from the four major families. Losing even one is a huge loss. Compared to the price they pay, Tao Achieving Ancestor is more important.
