Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

Chapter 116: Formation

Within the chaotic stone maze, the spiritual energy transformed into giant stones moved on their own, actively facing the countless spells that came crashing towards them.

The giant stones were shattered and disappeared as they were bombarded by the spells, and the incoming spells vanished as well.

Formation controlled by someone and an uncontrolled Formation were completely different.

Although Wen Qiansun was engaging in combat and manipulating the Formation for the first time, he remained calm. He always managed to identify the weak points of the Formation and promptly adjusted the forces to compensate for them.

Once the disciples of Taiyi Sect took their positions within the Formation, they were each stationed at critical points. They infused their true qi into the Formation to help it operate.

No matter how the Zhao Family cultivators attacked, their various attacks were successfully blocked by the Formation.

For a while, both the attackers and defenders were locked in a stalemate.

On the other side, Meng Zhang and Zhao Jiudou were also locked in a fierce battle that seemed hard to resolve.

Meng Zhang knew that the gap in Cultivation Base between Taiyi Sect disciples and the Zhao Family cultivators was too significant. Although they could barely hold on for a short time, they would gradually lose their strength if the battle dragged on.

Meng Zhang needed to deal with his opponent first before having the energy to consider the battlefield on the other side.

Zhao Jiudou was feeling even more frustrated. He knew his Cultivation Base was stronger than his opponent's, but whenever he attacked, he felt restrained and gave the opponent the upper hand.

Flying swords danced in the air, clashing and assassinating each other; fire serpents and earth dragons fought desperately on the ground, not yielding to one another.

The sound of bells occasionally rang out, and while most of the attacks were blocked by Zhao Jiudou's protective jade pendant, they still caused him some annoyance and distraction.

Zhao Dong led his clan members in the attack for a long time, but they couldn't shake the enemy's Formation, which began to worry him.

Originally, they thought that their Cultivation Base far exceeded their opponents, and they could easily achieve an overwhelming victory. However, the enemy relied on a First Rank Formation and managed to resist them.

Zhao Dong took out a Formation Breaking Talisman and signaled two other Refining Qi stage cultivators of the same clan.

Although Formation Breaking Talismans were rare and not easily found in the market, Zhao Family's background allowed them to produce several First Rank Formation Breaking Talismans with relative ease.

"Release!" As Zhao Dong gave the order, including himself, three Zhao Family cultivators each activated a First Rank Formation Breaking Talisman.

The previously rapidly moving chaotic stone maze suddenly froze and stopped operating.

Although three First Rank Formation Breaking Talismans couldn't completely break the Formation, they easily halted its operation temporarily.

"Attack!" Zhao Dong shouted and rushed into the Formation at the forefront.

"We don't have much time, hurry!" someone reminded their fellow clan members.

Zhao Family members rushed into the Formation, taking out their trump cards, preparing to attack the Taiyi Sect disciples with all their might. They wanted to take down as many Taiyi Sect disciples as possible before the Formation resumed its operation, rendering them defenseless.

With no Formation to shield them, all the Taiyi Sect disciples were exposed to the enemy. Given the vast disparity in Cultivation Base between the two sides, the Taiyi Sect disciples would be unable to resist for long.

All the Taiyi Sect disciples began to panic, except for Wen Qiansun, who remained calm and composed.

Seeing Zhao Family disciples rushing into the Formation, he took out a stack of talismans and tossed them into the air.

The talismans transformed into streams of light, flying towards different positions.

After the light returned to its original form, it turned into gigantic trees, rapidly moving and colliding chaotically, enveloping all the Zhao Family members within.

When Zhao Dong entered the Formation, he noticed Wen Qiansun, the one controlling the Formation. Without hesitation, he used his flying sword to attack Wen Qiansun.

Fortunately, Wen Qiansun acted swiftly and released the stack of talismans.

The gigantic trees quickly moved and blocked the flying sword released by Zhao Dong.

All the Zhao Family disciples found themselves surrounded by the gigantic trees.

Facing the trees that were charging at them from all directions, they couldn't continue their attacks and instead started resisting and evading the trees.

Zhao Dong used his flying sword to cut through one of the trees, but more trees immediately came crashing towards him.

"A Formation, it's actually a Formation!" Zhao Dong exclaimed in frustration.

A Formation was designed by a Formation Master, with talismans drawn by a talismanist and then combined by the Formation Master.

A Formation was a simplified version of a regular Formation, with less power and a shorter duration.

Formations did not rely on spirit veins; their power primarily depended on talismans.

Formations were advantageous in terms of ease of activation and simplicity. They were particularly useful during unexpected encounters in the wild.

Formations of various types were available in Singing Sand City, but high-quality ones were relatively rare.

Wen Qiansun had reminded Meng Zhang during their Formation practice that acquiring rare talismans like Formation Breaking Talismans was not difficult for the Zhao Family given their background.

After releasing the Formation Breaking Talisman, the Formation would be temporarily immobilized, creating a major vulnerability.

During this time, it was best to find a way to hold back the enemy and wait for the Formation to resume its operation.

Wen Qiansun suggested obtaining a set of Formation, as it would not only be easy to activate but also helpful for him to display his expertise in Formations.

Meng Zhang agreed with Wen Qiansun's suggestion and specially tasked Shi Weiming with helping to purchase a high-quality set of Formation.

The set of Formation Wen Qiansun released now was still a First Rank Formation, but its power was enormous, trapping the Zhao Family members while inflicting damage on them.

Unexpectedly, under the sudden attack of the Formation, the Zhao Family cultivators, who had thought victory was within reach, were all caught in the Formation.

Zhao Dong, as a cultivator from a well-established family, was not an ignorant loose cultivator. He knew that the power of the Formation was not lasting, and once the power in the talismans was exhausted, the Formation would collapse on its own.

Unfortunately, Wen Qiansun's proficiency in Formations was indeed extraordinary, and he played with a set of ordinary Formation in various ways.

The charging trees disrupted the Zhao Family disciples, making it difficult for them to concentrate.

All the Zhao Family disciples were running for their lives, too occupied to focus on anything else.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Formation had only recently resumed operation, they had some opportunities to break through the chaotic stones by fiercely cutting them apart. They rushed out of the Formation.

However, not all the Zhao Family disciples could escape in time.
