"This time… how many people are there?"

As this question was asked.

The clouds in the sky gathered on their own, dark clouds covering the sun.

Even the nearby waterfall in the air, under this invisible pressure, did not flow smoothly and almost stopped.

The question of Ancestor Lingyuan is very important.

Members of the Qiao family usually prefer to work alone, but there are exceptions.

Especially with the recent emergence of the Fire generation of the Qiao family elders, they do not uphold the same sense of fairness as the younger generation, and they come in groups.

This question is something Ancestor Lingyuan, even at the Tao Achieving Stage, must consider carefully.

After all, once he enters the great world of Jiu Province, his cultivation will undergo irreversible decline.

Taking this step makes it hard to turn back.

"Master, only one person has come, it is Qiao Shuangtu," the Grand Elder quickly replied.

"Only one person? That’s fine."

Ancestor Lingyuan nodded.

The dark clouds covering the sky began to disperse, and sunlight shone down on the earth, creating a scene of bright daylight.

Grand Elder looked up at this scene and couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

He was a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage, only a step away from the Soul Changing Stage.

Although his abilities had begun to decline, it was still normal for a cultivator at either the Soul Changing Stage or the Nascent Soul Stage to use a spell that could change the colors of the sky and cover the earth with clouds.

But just now, it was different.

Ancestor Lingyuan did not cast any spells; he simply asked a question, and the world of this small realm changed colors with his words.

"The so-called spells of the immortal path are about using the spirit to control one’s own power and move the strength of heaven and earth," Grand Elder thought to himself.

"And a Tao Achieving Stage cultivator’s spirit is unmatched; just a single thought can change the colors of the world…"

"Such a level is truly fascinating… However, after the great change in the world, even the Soul Changing Stage cultivators are rare, while the Tao Achieving Stage is something to aspire to but cannot be reached by most. Only those great beings from before the world’s change can achieve it." ŕ𝐚Ν𝖔𐌱Êš

The Grand Elder has reached the peak of the Nascent Soul state and is now one of the most outstanding cultivators of the Great Dao Sect after the great change in the world.

There can only be one Soul Changing Taoist Lord, and he is slightly inferior to the late sect leader, so he remains at the peak of the Nascent Soul state.

If Qiao Mu had not removed the Zhong Province incense temple, he could have, given enough time, used the Zhong Province incense to break through and become the new Soul Changing Taoist Lord.

The Soul Changing Stage still holds promise.

However, the Tao Achieving Stage is something he would not even dare to imagine; it only exists in ancient texts far away.

"Is it only Qiao Shuangtu?" Ancestor Lingyuan pondered for a long time.

Including the Great Dao Sect, the Nine Heavenly Immortal Gates have been forced by the Qiao family member to hide away and avoid the spotlight, so he naturally will not underestimate them.

On the contrary.

In the past six months, the Grand Elder has visited this small world more than once.

The matters regarding the Qiao family, including the incident at the Peach Blossom Villa in Nan Province where they fought back against the five leaders of the Immortal Sect, naturally reached the ears of Ancestor Lingyuan.

"Qiao Shuangtu is well-known. Now that he has returned after half a year, he must have come prepared. Let’s see if he can break my Nine Palace Mother and Child Formation…" Ancestor Lingyuan said slowly.

The Great Dao Sect excels in the ways of Taoist soldiers.

But as the leader of the sect from ten thousand years ago, he mastered more than just the ways of the Taoist soldiers.

"Since only one has come, it would be wise to deal with him quickly. Perhaps then, he can return to the small world before his powers fade away…"

With this thought, Ancestor Lingyuan finally stood up.

He had once been the leader of the Great Dao Sect, a person who planned carefully before acting, and would never act recklessly.

In fact, if it were not for his nearing end of life, he might not have waded into these troubled waters at all….

……………………………..

In a desolate mountain Secret Realm.

With a loud rumble, the mountain suddenly crumbled, and a figure rushed out from the mountains.

Just a moment later, the surroundings changed again, transforming into a vast desert, and the once lush mountain Secret Realm Space vanished without a trace.

Qiao Mu stepped forward on the yellow sand, clenching his fist.

This immortal formation does have a normal solution.

But Qiao Mu knows nothing about immortal methods and is relying entirely on his iron fists to break through forcefully, making the difficulty several levels higher than a regular way to enter the formation.

Six months ago, Qiao Mu controlled two bodies to enter the formation and defeated a dharma body of the Great Dao Sect leader.

He can kill a Soul Changing level dharma body, but this Mountain Protection Formation has no way to stop him.

Although he has improved since six months ago, he has not undergone a complete transformation, and his power increase is limited.

So, to break through the Great Dao Sect’s Mountain Protection Formation, he naturally made other preparations.

"If I can’t break one, then I’ll try two."

"If two doesn’t work, then I’ll try three."

"If three doesn’t work, then I’ll try four, five, six…"

"Flesh clone, come out!"

He closed his eyes.

His clear intuition was sharper than his eyes; even the barrier of this Mountain Protection Formation could not interfere with his spiritual refining intuition.

Outside the great formation, in front of the abyss.

Standing like a green pine before the huge chasm, the flesh clone finally moved and stepped into the Nine Palace Mother and Child Formation that protects the mountain.

His figure quickly vanished into the endless mist and appeared inside the great formation.

In front of him was a vast and boundless ocean, with no trace of the real Qiao Mu. Clearly, he was in a different Secret Realm Space.

"How could the same strategy work a second time?"

Inside the sect, Elder Qingzhuo, who was overseeing the great formation, just sneered.

One learns wisdom from experiencing failure.

Half a year ago, when Qiao Mu first entered the formation, he was also trapped in this Nine Palace Mother and Child Formation. In the end, his flesh clone caught everyone off guard and killed the sect leader’s dharma body, which led to the formation’s breakdown.

"The Nine Palace Mother and Child Formation is made up of nine sub-formations, containing nine small Secret Realm Spaces that cycle and nourish each other."

"Trying to break the formation by force is as difficult as climbing to the sky…. Once you force your way through one sub-formation, you will be moved to another sub-formation."

"Since preparations have been made, the arrival of the second Qiao family member will naturally prevent him from meeting Qiao Shuangtu in the formation, to avoid changes like last time."

"Unless nine sub-formations can be broken one after the other in a very short time, it is hard to find so many powerful beings like the Soul Changing Taoist Lord in the vast Jiu Province."

Although Elder Qingzhuo has fallen to the Golden Core Stage, his many years as an elder have given him great insight.

The combined incense offerings of all the mortals in Jiu Province are only enough to create nine Soul Changing Taoist Lords, which is the limit discovered from the Incense Symbol of Divine Fire on Qingxuan Road.

It is clear that the Great Dao Sect is not likely to be attacked by the other eight Soul Changing Taoist Lords working together.

Therefore, the Mountain Protection Formation left behind by Patriarch Lingyuan, with enough spirit stones, is nearly impossible to break through by outside forces.

Just at that moment.

Elder Qingzhuo suddenly felt a great shock in his heart.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…

Streaks of white shot through the sky, fluttering like ribbons in the fierce wind.

From the giant chasm in front of the mountain gate.

From the Hundred-mile Desert in the east.

From all directions around the Great Dao Sect mountain gate.

One by one, members of the Qiao family appeared in the air.

They did not talk or pause; as soon as they arrived, they rushed straight toward the sect’s great formation, quickly vanishing into the thick fog.

"Don’t stop! Quickly control the formation!" Elder Qingzhuo shouted.

"No matter how many Qiao family members appear, we must not let any two of them gather together."

"We must divide and conquer!"

Last time when Qiao Shuangtu broke through the formation, two Qiao family members appeared in the same Secret Realm Space and immediately killed the dharma body left by the sect leader in the sect.

This is something that no one will forget.

And now, within the entire Great Dao Sect, there is no longer a Soul Changing Taoist Lord, and even the peak Nascent Soul cultivators have disappeared.

Once two members of the Qiao family gather, the consequences could be unimaginable.

So, whenever a Qiao family member enters the formation, Qingzhuo and the other cultivators will control the great formation to move the newly entered Qiao family member to an empty sub-array.

One after another.

One after another.

"Wait… how many is this now?" Elder Qingzhuo suddenly said.

Elder Qingshui beside him was also drenched in cold sweat.

"The… ninth Qiao family member?"

The elders who protected the great formation exchanged glances and suddenly felt a wave of immense fear.

Never before had so many members of the Qiao family appeared at the same time, but why today…

This Nine Palace Mother and Child Formation should normally be unbreakable in this age of declining spiritual energy, yet now…

Just when the elders were at their wits’ end.

Whoosh.

A white rainbow streaked across the sky.

The tenth Qiao family member fell to the ground like a shooting star and then silently walked into the great formation, his figure swallowed by the mist.

"Elder, which sub-formation should we guide him to?" asked the golden core deacon beside him, his forehead glistening with cold sweat.

However, whether it was Qingzhuo or the other elders like Qing Shui, none of them responded.

They looked pained, and their hearts were in turmoil.

A member of the Qiao family would be trapped by the Nine Palace Mother and Child Formation, constantly draining their strength, with no way forward and no way back.

Two members of the Qiao family could forcefully kill the sect leader’s Soul Changing Stagedharma body and then leave triumphantly.

Five members of the Qiao family could launch a strong attack on the most powerful Qingxuan Road Immortal Gate, almost completely defeating all the disciples of the Immortal Gate, with neither the Soul Changing Taoist Lord nor the Nascent Soul Elder escaping.

So…

What would happen when ten Qiao family elders, each over ten thousand years old, gathered in one place?

……………………

Inside the great formation.

Qiao Mu, walking alone in the vast desert, suddenly saw a light ahead and noticed his own flesh clone appearing in another direction of the desert.

"It seems that the space contained within this great formation is not endless; there are only nine in total, isn’t it?"

Qiao Mu blinked and suddenly felt a strange disappointment.

He knew nothing about magical formations, so he used the simplest method: counting. It was just a matter of whether there were more people or more spaces in the great formation.

"Ten people are already enough."

Qiao Mu let out a long breath, exhaling like an arrow.

The flesh clone, looking similar to him, made the same gesture.

Silken threads of pale white True strength flowed out from his limbs and bones, and gradually, the wind began to rise.

Invisible gusts of wind blew away the yellow sand beneath his feet, growing stronger and making the sandy desert tremble.

Qiao Mu and the flesh clone locked eyes and simultaneously struck out with their palms.

"Buddha’s Palm."

True strength poured in for ten thousand years, with one mighty palm rising to the sky from the left and one from the right.

The yellow sands of the desert quivered and howled amid the giant waves of True strength, and the air visibly twisted and deformed.

At the same time.

The other eight flesh clones in different directions of the great formation also struck out their palms at the same moment.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!

One by one, cracks appeared in the Secret Realm Space, and the sound of shattering echoed throughout the Great Dao Sect.

The elders, including Qingzhuo, who were stationed at the main peak of the great formation, turned pale, spat out fresh blood, and looked as white as paper.

………………………

And at this moment.

Above the sky, a wild wind began to sweep.

The once calm sea of clouds crazily rolled back, forming a huge whirlpool, with a white cloud funnel floating in the air like a mountain.

The Great Dao Sect cultivators, who had been in seclusion in their individual caves, were shaken awake, their minds scanning the sky.

It was unknown when it began.

Suddenly, a figure appeared above the sea of clouds.

"This is actually an ancient ancestor of our Great Dao Sect!" The elders stood up in unison, their faces filled with uncontrollable excitement.

For the past six months, they had endured enough days of staying inside the sect, watching their skills continuously decline.

And now, they saw the sect’s ancestor, who only existed in paintings and whom they had never seen, step out of the small world and come into this realm.

Even the Nascent Soul Elder finds it hard to hold back his excitement at this moment.

However, Ancestor Lingyuan does not care about the emotional changes of the disciples in the sect.

He simply lowered his eyelids and scanned the surroundings with his mind.

"This world, with its thin spiritual energy, is still just as boring."

Not only the entire Great Dao Sect but also the situation within the Mountain Protection Formation and the surrounding areas of the Great Dao Sect were clearly seen in his mind’s perception.

After many years away from the human world, returning this time still felt uncomfortable, and his immense power was steadily fading…

In the Cave Heaven Small World, one can only survive without absorbing spiritual energy for cultivation, so the loss of a Tao Achieving Stage cultivator’s power is irreversible.

Even for him, spending too much time in this world, it would not be surprising to see his level drop to the Soul Changing Stage or even lower.

But fortunately, only one member of the Qiao family came this time…

Suddenly, he frowned.

"The Nascent Soul Elder in the door said that only one member of the Qiao family came?"

He furrowed his brow.

So the funnel-shaped cloud whirlpool in the sky twisted again, and the originally white and bright clouds were stained with a bit of darkness, like dark clouds ruling over the land.

The number of cultivators in the Great Dao Sect has drastically decreased; not only is there no Soul Changing Stage left, but even the Grand Elder has fallen from the peak of Nascent Soul…

Given the current strength of the Great Dao Sect, it is reasonable that they did not notice the other hidden members of the Qiao family.

"That’s true. After being away from the human realm for so long and watching from the small world, some mistakes are unavoidable."

"I did not expect that today the Great Dao Sect would fall to such a level…"

Ancestor Lingyuan’s expression grew colder.
