1009 Start Of The Battle (1/2)

On this morning, Zong Shou woke up from meditation.

From afar, he could hear the sound of war drums.

It had began!

The moment such a thought flashed across his mind, he stood up. He pulled up Chuxue who was hugging onto his tail and was in deep sleep and they ran out of the room.

In that instant, the seals in his body were broken layer by layer.

Under the surging energy all over his body, Chuxue who was originally still a little blur had woke up, and a solemn killing intent rose up on her face.

That day Zong Shou didn't swallow Chuxue because the time wasn't right.

To do such things when the sect was on the verge of life and death just felt inappropriate.

He could only leave this cute little girl for the future.

The two of them flew in the air towards the center.

Common People's Path's Source Ocean Bottomless Nine Palace Sword Formation was located all around the Vast Habitat.

Who knew if it was taken care of for other reasons, but Zong Shou's formation was within the learning palace.

He had the least pressure but was also the final defense line for the Common People's Path.

When he arrived and stepped onto the central sword platform that was prepared long ago, Shui Lingbo was already there. She was really serious, her face seemed like it had a layer of frost on it.

At the center of the five formations, there was a mirror that was connected to the Vast Habitat's protective formation. One could use this mirror to see the scenes outside, such that the people in charge of the formations were able to understand the situation outside of the Vast Habitat and adapt logically.

When Zong Shou stood still in the center of the platform, this formation still wasn't completed.

When the drums rang out, numerous cultivators were flying about in the skies of the Vast Habitat.

Even this formation within the palace was still lacking half the people.

However it was okay, he activated the Sword Formation, threads of energy spread outward, stretching for dozens of miles, covering the entire Common People's Learning Palace. He took control of the entire formation.

After completing all this, Zong Shou finally had time to look at the mirror. His pupils constricted and he took in a deep cold breath.

What appeared in the mirror was the Cloud World, where the Vast Habitat was connected to the Cloud World. There were close to 500,000 troops gathered there!

...Daoling Vast Habitat's 35,000 Purple Flame Spear Cavalry, Tailing Sect's 28,000 Purple Cloud Sword Cavalry, Heaven Demon Vast Habitat's 32,000 Tianmo War Cavalry, and Primordial Demon Sect's 24,000 Primordial Demon Spirit Cavalry were all gathered here.

Just in Xuan Grade Dao Soldiers alone, there were close to 200,000.

The rest were Great Shang troops who Zong Shou also recognized.

150,000 Iron Flame Formation Soldiers, 80,000 Extreme Arrow God Archers, and 50,000 Yuanchen Blood Cavalry.

There were around 40,000 soldiers below Xiantian too.

”It seems like they really went all out, how generous…”

Apart from Dao Soldiers, there were an uncountable amount of other factions.

One Heavenly Place, two Vast Habitats, hundreds of sects, close to two million people.

At this moment, when he used the mirror to look out, it was just a dense patch. Before the battle even began, energy flames surged into the sky.

Thousands of pure Yang cultivators were gathered here. It also caused the skies to flash brightly.

Zong Shou only felt his head go numb. The power gathered was enough to wipe out the newly born Great Gan.

The strength difference was close to a tenth.

He could only hope that the protective formation that Xi Zi left was strong enough.

”It is not enough for us to worry!”

Although Shui Lingbo was solemn, she didn't really care about the hundreds of thousands of troops and millions of cultivators. She didn't even hold them in any regard.

”That year when we were attacked by the various Cloud World sects the scale was slightly weaker than this. However, after the few thousand years Senior Brother Wei Xu ran us well and our strength has recovered, becoming much stronger than before. Common People's Vast Habitat along with the Three Sects and Six Schools, we have 70,000 Common People Xuan Dragon Warriors. The Ten Thousand Celestial Illusionary Sky Thirty Three Sky Formation is also something that Xi Zi spent much effort to make, so how could it be weak?”

Ten Thousand Celestial Illusionary Sky Thirty Three Sky Formation, that was the Vast Habitat protection formation.

Of course, Zong Shou had heard about this formation before. Legend had it that the more Celestial Realm cultivators there were the stronger this formation would get.

If there were 10,000 Celestials gathered, it was said that it was unbreakable.

To date, Common People's Path was naturally unable to gather 10,000 of them. If they called back all the disciples, they had around 1,800.

That was enough to use up to 70% of the strength of this formation.

However, those were just rumors and there weren't any large walls in thousands of years. As such, Zong Shou was still really nervous about the strength of this formation.

At that moment, Zong Shou suddenly felt something and looked at the core of the learning palace at the central hall.

Only to see that numerous Spiritual Lights gathered there, a majestic golden pagoda appeared from the ground.

It was built up layer by layer, only stopping when it reached the 27th. A bright light spread out and lit up thousands of miles of land.

Shui Lingbo looked on quietly, a look of pity appeared in her eyes.

”What a waste! Just a bit more and it would have been able to reach the 28th layer…”
