Chapter 918: Chapter 506: Seeing Fu Zongjue Again_2 Chapter 918: Chapter 506: Seeing Fu Zongjue Again_2 “`

After going to retrieve the Golden Liquid Jade Pill, Chen Mobai went out for “Nascent Soul Formation”; it was all arranged by Fu Zongjue.

Now, fourteen years have passed, Zhou Shengqing was already at Golden Core Perfection, and with the aid of the premium spiritual energy from the Mother Earth Stone, he finally induced the signs of “Nascent Soul Formation”.

Even though people like Zhao Xuankang knew that Zhou Shengqing’s chances of successful “Nascent Soul Formation” were slim, none were willing to take the gamble.

Therefore, they began to instigate a war between the Divine Wood Sect and the Nanxuan Sect, as long as they could force Zhou Shengqing to take action, his “Nascent Soul Formation” would fail, and their purpose would be achieved.

Chen Mobai: “Has Zhao Xuankang not taken action? It seems there is only Nanxuan Jing’s aura over there.”

In midair, Chen Mobai unleashed his Void Spirit Eye, and saw that within the stern ranks of Nanxuan Sect, there was only the presence of one Golden Core Cultivator manifesting.

Fu Zongjue: “He might have concealed himself, but Brother Mo can teleport here at any time. Even if he makes a move, we will be able to resist, and what’s more, you have now formed your Gold Core.”

Whenever Divine Wood Sect needed him, Mo Douguang was always ready to respond, as he and Zhou Shengqing were the closest of brothers.

Chen Mobai: “Are there no movements from the other major sects in the Eastern Wilderness regarding the Core Formation?”

Fu Zongjue: “They are all onlookers; after all, behind the Nanxuan Sect is Xuan Xiao Daoist Palace. Their unwillingness to intervene already shows they understand the concept of a shared fate.”

Chen Mobai: “Only a few of us know about my Core Formation. Is it possible to use our numerical advantage to kill Nanxuan Jing?”

Upon hearing this, Fu Zongjue fell silent.

In the Tianhe Realm, Cultivators who reached the stage of Core Formation have abundant experience in magic duels, life-preserving secret techniques, and are usually well equipped with magic artifacts and talismans; killing one at the same realm is extremely difficult.

However, three against one would not be a problem.

After all, even Ji Zhenshi, a Body Cultivator at the Core Formation Late Stage, perished under their joint attack without a complete corpse.

The key was creating an environment conducive to such an encounter.

If Nanxuan Jing hid within the Battle Array, even if they called over Zhou Shengqing, they could only watch helplessly.

“We need to expose a flaw, giving the Nanxuan Sect the illusion that he and Zhao Xuankang together could kill me,” said one.

After a while, Fu Zongjue spoke.

He then discussed with Chen Mobai. After a lengthy conversation, they finally settled on an initial strategy.

Because Northern Abyss City gathered Cultivators from six countries under the Divine Wood Sect’s command, with many eyes observing, it was certain that the Nanxuan Sect had planted informants among them. Hence, Chen Mobai did not return with Yue Zutao.

Fu Zongjue left his Puppet Body there and continued to refine the plan to hunt Nanxuan Jing with Chen Mobai.

…

In the camp of the Nanxuan Sect, besides Nanxuan Jing and Zhao Xuankang, there was another Golden Core Cultivator.

“A Puppet Master never exposes their real body to public view.”

It was none other than the old ancestor from Liu Jia Mountain, Nan Shi Dao, who had the most animosity with the Divine Wood Sect apart from Shake Mountain Peak.

Nan Shi Dao was speaking confidently in front of the two Core Formation Cultivators from Xuan Xiao Daoist Palace.

Before Fu Zongjue’s Core Formation, he was known as the number one Puppet Master in the Eastern Wasteland.

Of course, the enmity with the Divine Wood Sect was not due to this mere title, for at their level of cultivation, they had long grown indifferent to such distinctions.

Previously, aside from Nan Shi Dao, Liu Jia Mountain had another Golden Core Cultivator renowned as the most likely to achieve “Nascent Soul Formation” after the Ancestor Hunyuan—Yan Fusheng.

Regrettably, during the prime of the Five Elements Sect, Yan Fusheng’s “Nascent Soul Formation” was interrupted when a mysterious Cultivator attacked Liu Jia Mountain.

Nan Shi Dao was no match, and the sect’s protective formation could not stop the enemy, who easily breached Yan Fusheng’s seclusion.

Yan Fusheng was forced to act and repelled the intruder.

But his “Nascent Soul Formation” was completely ruined, and even his elemental energy was severely damaged. Within a few years, he passed away meditating.

This incident was deemed a great humiliation by Liu Jia Mountain.

Back then, in the Eastern Wasteland, the only one capable of defeating Nan Shi Dao with ease and penetrating Liu Jia Mountain’s Large Formation as if entering an unguarded jungle was Ancestor Hunyuan from the Five Elements Sect.

“`

Therefore, after Yan Fusheng passed away in meditation, Nanxuan Dao of the Nanxuan sect laid the blame squarely on the Five Elements Sect.

Due to the vastness of the Eastern Wilderness, with the Five Elements Sect and Liu Jia Mountain dividing the south and north, Nanxuan Dao turned his hostile gaze toward the nearby Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff.

“You mean to say, the real body that Fu Zongjue revealed in Northern Abyss City isn’t his real body at all, but merely a puppet, while his actual body is hidden somewhere else?”

After hearing what Nanxuan Dao said, Zhao Xuankang understood what he meant.

“Exactly, and to control the situation and maximize the puppet’s power, Fu Zongjue’s true body must be near the battlefield.”

Nanxuan Dao nodded, himself having come here in a puppet body.

“But this is only a possibility. Right now, with five thousand Qi practitioners in Northern Abyss City and under the united Battle Array, even the three of us wouldn’t dare to rush in rashly. It’s safest for Fu Zongjue’s real body to be there.”

Zhao Xuankang shook his head, expressing his own views. If he were Fu Zongjue, he would surely have his real body amidst the large army.

“I’m just mentioning some things about us Puppet Masters. What if, on a whim, Fu Zongjue hides his real body outside Northern Abyss City?”

Nanxuan Dao’s statement made Zhao Xuankang and Nanxuan Jing very tempted.

If there were no Battle Array for protection, the three of them could easily slay Fu Zongjue.

Once Fu Zongjue died, they could annihilate the five thousand Qi practitioners inside Northern Abyss City and then lead the large army to press on toward Giant Tree Ridge. Perhaps they could even take down the Divine Wood Sect in a single stroke, besides disrupting Zhou Shengqing’s Nascent Soul Formation.

“We could try to confirm it, what if Fu Zongjue got kicked in the head by a donkey?”

Nanxuan Jing said to Zhao Xuankang, who, after pondering for a moment, couldn’t resist the temptation and nodded.

…

Chen Mobai and Fu Zongjue were still pondering how to feign a weakness on the frontline battlefield. After an apparent defeat, Fu Zongjue would abandon the army of Qi practitioners and flee alone, provoking Nanxuan Jing to pursue and kill him.

Unexpectedly, the next day, the Nanxuan sect really rallied their entire army.

They formed the Gold Light Combat Array, transformed into giant golden armored celestial soldiers, and attacked Northern Abyss City.

A battle was inevitable, and Fu Zongjue immediately directed his subordinates to form the Alpha Wood Soldiers.

Metal overcomes wood in the Five Elements, and although the Divine Wood Sect had the advantage in numbers, they were now suppressed by the Nanxuan sect.

In the past, Fu Zongjue would still make an effort, but this time he directly shrank back.

He maneuvered his vast army to defend, exhausting the opponents’ spiritual power, and then his own Alpha Wood Soldiers also dispersed.

What followed was the close-quarters combat between armies of cultivators.

Cultivators who had a portion of their spiritual power drawn by the Battle Array deftly consumed elixirs that restored their spiritual power, held a spirit stone in one hand, and brandished a magic artifact in the other as they began to fight fiercely with the other side.

The battle was brief, and soon countless sprays of blood appeared. Cultivators died one after another under various magic artifacts and spells.

Streaks of spiritual light illuminated the sky, indicating the showdowns between Foundation Establishment Practitioners.

That should have been the end of it.

But today, two massive and dazzling golden glows rose like the great sun from the Nanxuan sect’s camp. Two tall and vague figures, bearing grand and mighty spiritual power, charged toward Northern Abyss City.

“Zhao Xuankang, Nanxuan Jing!”

Fu Zongjue’s voice emerged as his true body and a puppet body appeared in the sky.

At the same time, the light of the Teleportation Array within Northern Abyss City lit up, and Mo Douguang stepped out from it.

Soon, four Golden Core Cultivators began a fierce confrontation in mid-air.

Among them, Fu Zongjue had the lowest cultivation level, being only in the early stage of Core Formation. However, he controlled a Rank-3 Golden Sun Puppet and, fearless of life and death, still held off Zhao Xuankang.

Nanxuan Jing and Mo Douguang had similar cultivation levels, one a great sect elder and the other the number one Sword Cultivator of the Eastern Wasteland. Their battle was visually stunning; with the intertwining of Jinguang and sword light, it was incredibly spectacular.

While the Qi Practitioners below were dazzled, two Foundation Establishment Practitioners engaged in a magical duel in mid-air accidentally strayed into the swath of Jinguang and sword light, and in an instant, they were ground into a sky full of blood clots.

Is this the power of the Core Formation stage?!
