Chapter 234: Educated and Well Balanced Liu Li

This was a battle that was doomed not to be conventional.
Even if the present cultivators were the elites among the elites of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals’ Five Uniques, even if their real strength was far beyond their stage that appeared on the surface and any sect’s team has the power to destroy a city or extinguish a country, the guardian still seemed overly powerful compared to the four sects disciples—even if the guardian has just come back to life through the brilliant Great Array of Meridian Circulation of the cultivators and was in its weakest moment.
To defeat this behemoth head-on, one at least needed to have the magical ability of a Deity Stage, which was far beyond the upper limit of the four sects disciples. However, should they defeat their target head-on?
Perhaps a tough and powerful warrior could not be defeated by a heavy hammer or a sword, but meat dumplings… or a poisonous mushroom could end its life. Regardless of how high or low in the hierarchy a life was, formidability and frailness would always coexist in it. As long as they found the right way to damage it internally, perhaps with a gentle push, it could collapse.
Therefore, in the whole three days arrangement, setting up one hundred thousand talismans all over the mountain, it was not only in order to stimulate the life through the natural meridian circulation, but more importantly, when the guardian woke up from the slumber, these one hundred thousand talismans could reverse the natural meridian circulation, so that the magical power could run through the heavy mountain defense, directly burying its vitality within its own body.
Of course, implementing the internal damage would not be easy. Giving life was one thing, taking it back was another. The guardian was, after all, a higher level of life. The moment it gained its vitality back, it would immediately enter a perfect cycle, constantly heal itself, and expel any harmful existence out of its body.
In the words of w.a.n.g Lu, this was a fight against the guardian’s immune system.
—
”Everyone get ready to fight!”
The roar from Jianglu was like a crack of thunder in the spring. No doubt it has an undeniably intense penetrating power—even under the rumblings of the mountain, it could still be heard.
However, he didn’t really have to. Because every cultivator of the Shengjing Sect team had already found their own position. But it was not towards the sky to contend the guardian directly, but rather to move the battlefield to another location. They anch.o.r.ed on the icy surface of the lake; mapped on the ice surface was the over hundred thousand talismans that const.i.tute the precision array. Under each of their foot was more than four thousand mapped talismans, which required extremely precise magical power to accurately control each of the talisman, similar to extraordinary player of a stringed instrument that was adept at plucking the string.
Suddenly, the icy lake glittered with countless starlights as if it was a milky way. However, the countless ropes made of magical power that linked the ice lake surface to the mountain faithfully pa.s.sed the change to the more than one hundred thousand talismans.
This was the latest artificial spirit object developed by Ten Thousand Arts Sect, the third model Divine Optical Conduit Cable, abbreviated as the Optical Cable. Using a spell, the divine light was transmitted as a signal, with special arithmetic for encoding and decoding, and extremely high transmission efficiency and anti-interference ability, which allowed it to maintain transmission signal fidelity even if the sky collapsed and the earth trembled. Because of this, it was possible for one man to control four thousand talismans, which if totaled for the twenty-five person team of Shengjing Sect, controlled the one hundred thousand talismans on the lofty mountain,
If not so, how could the one hundred thousand talismans respond to a mere couple of dozens of people?
While the Shengjing Sect cultivators were busy sending the signals, guiding the one hundred thousand talismans to simultaneously stimulate all kinds of magical abilities, the Ten Thousand Arts Sect people were busily encoding and decoding the one hundred thousand signals, which not only needed fine control of magical power, but also high speed calculation that only the people of Ten Thousand Arts Sect were competent to do it.
As for the cultivators of the Kunlun Immortal Sect, they were in mid-air, forming the Reincarnation Law Array, which displayed their profound advantage, channeling down the endless supply of pure magical power and spiritual energy, so that the present cultivators would never be exhausted of magical power.
The three people of Spirit Sword Sect became their mobile force. In case of an accident, they would be the one to handle it. This task could be easy, but could also be difficult—because according to the plan, the newly resurrected guardian should have no resistance to the natural meridian reverse circulation, which made their task easy—but once there was an error, if this giant mountain slapped down towards them, even peak Jindan Stage cultivator would turn into mud.
The division of labor of the task has been very meticulous, but the situation immediately went beyond their control.
The moment the Shengjing Sect people launched the array, they were bombarded by the copious amount of irresistible resistance force that came through the optical cables. Even if the guardian has just been resurrected, did not have its intelligence yet, and was just acting on instinct, its subconscious struggle was difficult to enjoy.
At the same time, blood oozed out of the seven orifices from the more than half of the Shengjing Sect people!
At the center, Jianglu’s injury was the heaviest as blood even oozed out through his pores, which then evaporated into gas because of his extremely high body temperature. His vitality rapidly pa.s.sed, but he did not waver in the slightest. Instead, his body became even firmer.
”Everyone, brace yourself!”
However, Jianglu actually didn’t need to say anything, because Shengjing Sect people, as if by prior agreement, began to burn their innate vitality.
In the Nine Regions, Shengjing Sect’s development strategy of absolute power has turned them into the most unpopular sect in the various sects of Union of Ten Thousand Immortals. However, correspondingly, along with their wild gesture, in times of need, Shengjing Sect people often took most of the responsibility. Whether it was because of their absolute confidence in their own strength, or they just wanted to show off their prestige, overall, even if there was more dissatisfaction towards them, no one could deny that, as the Big Boss of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals, based on the overall performance of the Shengjing Sect, they were absolutely qualified for the role.
However, obviously it would not be enough to turn the situation around if they were to rely solely on the desperate effort from the Shengjing Sect cultivators—how could the struggle of dozens of ants do anything to the trampling of an elephant?
”Tsk, we have to do something quick. Come on.”
Seeing that the situation was contrary to expectation, w.a.n.g Lu did not hesitate. He led Liu Li and Bai s.h.i.+xuan to fly non-stop in mid-air, while the latter launched her remarkable ability, getting a general feeling on all the living things on this place.
As if announcing the sovereignty on a piece of desolate land, Grand Cloud Mountain’s current mountain spirit easily spread the feeler of her primordial spirit to the wide expanse of mountains. And then, within Bai s.h.i.+xuan’s awareness, she saw a black giant shadow that ‘hid the sky and covered the earth’, which caused her to be intimidated at first glance.
That was the primordial spirit of the extremely weak just-resurrected guardian, which looked like a ten thousand years old dried up mummy, heavy with cadaverous aura. However, even so, it was still a powerful enemy that all of them could not resist; clas.h.i.+ng against its primordial spirit would only bring about a quicker death.
Therefore, with immortal beast magical ability, Bai s.h.i.+xuan turned her primordial spirit into a bridge to directly communicate with the guardian itself, not to wound or defeat it, but as the foundation for w.a.n.g Lu’s next action.
She gently put her primordial spirit on the guardian’s body; because she was without hostility and her existence was too subtle, it didn’t provoke a reaction from the other side.
