Chapter 415: Chapter 307: Azure Light Formation of Eight Gates_1

“We are old opponents, after all. Knowing our strengths and weaknesses. Fast-acting is the key to warfare. I will lead the people from the Reward Virtue Hall first, and then you will assemble the Foundation Establishment and Qi Cultivators within our sect to launch towards the Lei Nation border. We might even have to charge into the territory of the Rock Country and have a fierce showdown with the folk of Shake Mountain Peak.”

Chu Zuoshu laughed confidently and then began to lead Yue Zutao and Chen Mobai back to the Reward Virtue Hall.

[I initially wanted you to focus on your cultivation, wait until you perfected your skills, and then surprise the entire Eastern Wilderness.]

The voice of the Sect Leader Meng Hong came sighing with sensation in Chen Mobai’s ears just as they were about to leave.

[The timing couldn’t be more perfect!]

Chen Mobai just smiled back at Meng Hong, turned around, and left the Shenmu Hall.

“A true temperament of a Sword Cultivator indeed!”

Cang Qi, standing on a side, commented with a sigh. He seemed to have overheard the conversation between the two.

“Publish my order, highest priority, summon all the sect’s cultivators!”

Watching the trio from Reward Virtue Hall leave, Meng Hong said word by word to Lu Yi from the Transmission Department.

“Your orders!”

In no time, an order from the Sect Leader was issued from the Divine Wood Hall, calling upon all the cultivators who were not in deep seclusion.

In just the duration of a single incense stick burning, dozens of strands of spiritual light descended from the sky, coming over in response.

By half a day later, all the three Hall’s and twelve Departments had started full-scale mobilisation.

After being prepared for three days, Xie Yuntian, the head of the Sword Training Department, led a thousand Qi Practitioners on twelve large Magic Boats, setting off to the Lei Nation in great battle array.

This movement from Divine Wood Sect could not escape the notice of other major sects in the Eastern Wilderness.

In a while, numerous Message Talismans were sent out from the Giant Tree Ridge using various methods.

…

The Shake Mountain Peak, one of the Seven Major Sects of the Eastern Wilderness, while having an inheritance of thousands of years, was simply a common first-rate sect quite a while ago.

Before Ji Zhenshi reached Core Formation, the most prosperous time for Shake Mountain Peak was when they had four Foundation Establishments.

Within the Rock Country, there were also some Immortal Cultivation families and sects whose strength was not inferior to Shake Mountain Peak, the Ji family was one of them.

The turning point came three hundred years ago.

The Ji family found a Void Dark Stone Vein. The location was at the border between their family and the Shake Mountain Peak.

At that time, the Foundation Establishment elder from the Ji family was a visionary. Knowing that they could not hide this from Shake Mountain Peak, he went to the door himself and talked with the four Foundation Establishments of Shake Mountain Peak openly revealing this matter.

Afterwards, the entire Ji family was incorporated into Shake Mountain Peak.

Ji Zhenshi was the most promising genius of the Ji family at that time. He was taken in as a disciple by the Sect Leader of Shake Mountain Peak, with the resources from his sect and family, he successfully reached Foundation Establishment and began to gradually emerge.

In the next hundred years, he cultivated to the Perfection of Foundation Establishment, and then used the mined Void Dark Stone Veins to exchange for Gold Core Spiritual Materials in regions outside the Eastern Wilderness.

Ji Zhenshi was also a prodigious genius, he succeeded in forming his core on his first attempt.

And then, he gradually developed and strengthened Shake Mountain Peak, he suppressed and acquired the remainder of the Immortal Cultivation families and small sects within Rock Country, becoming a major sect in the Eastern Wilderness.

And even fifty years ago, taking advantage of the internal strife and splitting of the Five Elements Sect, he occupied the Sky Country connected to Rock Country, a territory formerly under the power of the Five Elements Sect.

“Ji Zhenshi swallowing his own family to encompass the whole Shake Mountain Peak, he is truly a ruthless and ambitious man. But the current setup is being completely supported by him alone, the moment he dies, everything will fall apart.”

On the Magic Boat, Chen Mobai was asking Yue Zutao for insights on Shake Mountain Peak, this force.

After consuming the Tree Fruit for eternal life, his cultivation level was locked. Apart from various miscellaneous knowledge, he had also spent time deeply studying about the major sects in the Eastern Wilderness. He eloquently recounted the history of the rise of Shake Mountain and Ji Zhenshi.

On this Magic Boat, there were in total eight Foundation Establishment Cultivators, all from their Reward Virtue Hall.

Apart from Chu Zuoshu being the Hall Master of Reward Virtue Hall, there was also Fu Huakun, the supervisor.

The rest were six Inspection Envoys. Among them was a familiar face to Chen Mobai, Shan Hongyi. He and Yue Zutao were the only ones in mid Foundation Establishment.

Before leaving, Chu Zuoshu, as the manager of the sect treasury from the Reward Virtue Hall, had taken a lot of good stuff from the Meritorious Hall Treasury and let Luo Xueer, the Vice Hall Master, handle the procedures.

Among them was a set of Azure Light Formation, an intermediate grade Rank-3 Formation Method, requiring eight Foundation Establishment Cultivators to operate together. It contained three layers of transformation and when combined with the Array Flag and Array Plate could exert complete power. It might even be able to resist Gold Core Cultivators for a short period of time.

The Array Flag of this Formation Method, when combined with Tree Seeds, was even more powerful. As Chu Zuoshu was the Hall Master in charge of the sect treasury, when he took the Formation Method, he naturally wouldn’t forget about the Tree Seed.

He not only took a Rank-3 Gold Sun Tree Species for himself but also gave each of the seven Foundation Establishment cultivators accompanying him a Rank-2 Green Sun Tree Seed.

When they set off, seeing the Green Sun Tree Seed in his hand, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but feel emotional.

He had been considering how he might get Yue Zutao to snag one for him in the future, but he hadn’t expected to get hold of one this easily.

Although it was officially distributed by the sect as supplies for a magic duel, it had to be returned after the war ended. But at least for now, it belongs to them.

With the Tree Seed in their hands, those who travelled with Chu Zuoshu were more motivated. They were exceptionally active while practicing the Azure Light Formation.

While the group of people were resting on the Magic Boat after practicing the Formation, they formed two circles.

“The forces of Shake Mountain Peak alone will not be able to withstand our Divine Wood Sect. Is it possible that the other major sects in the Eastern Wilderness will assist Ji Zhenshi directly or indirectly?”
