7 Purple Cloud Dreamland (2/2)

The background of the Cloud Clan was bigger than he thought. This formation could even resist Spirit Gate Cultivators at the middle stage, while the Bright Clan defensive formation only resisted up to Spirit Realm Peak.

However, the defensive array wasn't the only formation inside the clan. Several other formations were also arranged, such as Spirit Gathering to improve the quality of cultivation.

Ming Ren finally found something he could use. It was a peak human-grade formation called [Purple Cloud Dreamland], a powerful illusionary array technique that could send enemy attackers into a state of constant dreaming, unable to differentiate between reality and illusion. At the peak of the human-grade, it could affect even cultivators at the peak of the Spirit Realm.

Formations could be seen as incomprehensible to most people, but they had rules. The higher the level of the Formation Master the best hidden and well protected they would be. Things such as the activation method, range, effect, power, and control had to be decided before considering which formation and where to arrange it.

Ming Ren probed the formation with care so as not to trigger any hidden traps. At this level, none of them would faze him anyway. The [Purple Cloud Dreamland] activation method had long been changed to the Cloud Clan's direct lineage. Only the Patriarch, Old Ancestors, supreme elders, and top talents had access to it. Fortunately for Ming Ren, Yun Lin Xue was one of them.

It might seem stupid to let such a powerful formation be activated by anyone other than the Patriarch, but it was mainly considered the last line of defense of the clan. If the attackers made it that far and the Patriarch was the only one that could activate it, perhaps they wouldn't have the chance to activate it at all.

Even though he could activate it, Lin Xue was only at the fourth layer of the Spirit Realm, far from being capable of displaying the formation's true might. The range of the formation encompassed the entire Cloud Clan. The effect would work on everyone, but it might not be enough for someone at the half-step into the Spirit Gate Realm such as Yun Jie. While it was made for attackers, it was easy for Ming Ren's to bypass the restriction and affect the Cloud Clan entirely.

The other Spirit Gate Cultivators should be cultivating in secluded cultivation room or caves, so as long as Ming Ren avoids affecting them directly it would still take some time for them to notice.

After being activated, it didn't need anyone to control it to keep working.

Besides, the Purple Cloud clan specialized in formations and mind attacks, so it would take them less time to break free of the formation. That's where the Mind Enhancing formation came in.

Unlike the other formations that had already been connected to the Cloud Clan's bloodline, the Mind Enhancing Formation in this room was made recently, just to work as an interrogation room. The one that made it didn't care enough about restrictions, protections or traps.

Ming Ren controlled Yun Lin Xue one more time and activated the Mind Enhancing Formation to its peak, borrowing strength from the Purple Clouds Defensive Array to overcharge it. It wasn't safe, but why would Ming Ren care?

He didn't want to destroy the Cloud Clan because of Shufen, and the enmity between them didn't reach that height. This was also the reason he didn't completely cripple Lin Xue's mind. But he had no other choice right now. If something happened to Lin Xue's, he could only blame himself.

However, it still was not enough to reach the power needed to overcome Yun Jie and everyone at the same time, so Ming Ren burned Yun Lin Xue's bloodline to the maximum and even some of his Life Essence as fuel.

He then activated the Purple Cloud Dreamland and focused straight to Yun Jie first. His activation was so perfect only those around him would be able to feel the formation's power.

The reason he aimed first at Yun Jie was…

...He knew his weakness! To a mind attack, a cultivator's weakness exposed was his doom.

Yun Jie walked around inside the Cloud Clan, a smug grin on his face. He recently surpassed his daughter and became the first peak Spirit Gate Cultivator of the Cloud Clan, opening all his Gates. Moreover, each one of the Gates was extremely terrifying.

His Cloud Clan became not only the overlord of the Cloud Province but effectively ruled the Soaring Country from behind the scenes! Incomparable glory!

Even his ancestors would acknowledge the fact that he was the greatest.

As he rejoiced, one of the servants approached and proclaimed the arrival of his two very talented daughters. The number of proposals each year reached the heavens!

Of course, he rejected them all.

”Esteemed Father!” Both daughters graciously kowtowed in front of him.

”Hahaha my daughters, have you been well?” Yun Jie was extremely happy.

Shufen smiled, ”Yes, father!”

She had the brightest smile in the world. Yun Jie knew this was true happiness…

...until his face twisted as he saw that young man come over.

”Father, this is our lover, Ming Ren!” Shufen said as she grabbed him by the arm, while Shuqing immediately did the same.

Yun Jie nearly died on the spot. Lover? Does that mean he is not even their husband? Could them be… concubines and not even wives? Both of them?

NO!

NEVER!

OVER HIS DEAD BODY!

His face twisted in the worst possible way and he wanted to protest, but suddenly felt so small and powerless, no sound came out. Ming Ren passed each day being taken care of and taking care of his daughters inside his own Cloud Clan, like an Emperor.

It was hell!
