Chapter 1026: Small Collapse

At this time, at an even higher place on Lun Dao Mountain.One peak and one building, towering into the clouds, like two swords pointing to the sky, facing each other from a distance before the majestic Lun Dao Mountain.This peak is named Hanging Sky Peak.This building is named Viewing Sword Building.Hanging Sky Peak is the highest mountain peak of Lun Dao Mountain, possessing the momentum of reaching the absolute summit. It is the venue for the "Heaven" character Sword Discussion during the final decisive battle of the Sword Discussion Assembly.After the fierce battles of the Earth character Sword Discussion, the prodigies who successfully advanced will gather at the summit of Hanging Sky Peak to engage in the final decisive battles against true heaven's favored ones, determining superiority.For their sects, they will win the highest honor.Also for themselves, they will forge an even more brilliant Dao path.And opposite Hanging Sky Peak, stands a building as steep as a sword, reaching high into the clouds, ancient and luxurious.This is Viewing Sword Building.It is the highest viewing ceremony place for the Qian Xue Sword Discussion.Outside Viewing Sword Building, hidden arrays are set up. The building itself is also engraved with various high-level cloud and fog arrays, making the tall building hidden and integrated into the clouds and fog.Ordinary people simply cannot see Viewing Sword Building.Even most cultivators do not know of the existence of this Viewing Sword Building on Lun Dao Mountain.This towering Viewing Sword Building is for some truly honored individuals with prominent identities, "noble guests," to watch the Qian Xue Sword Discussion.From the top of the tall building, amidst the clouds, looking down from above, one can see the vast square of painted scenes.As well as the densely packed cultivators, like ants.Those who can enter this building are truly either powerful or noble.Each sect's Cave Void Old Ancestor, Feather Transformation Sect Master, or Fifth Grade family master from each world family.Department heads of Fifth Grade Dao Courts.Leaders of some powerful cultivation forces in the Nine Provinces.Furthermore, core direct descendants of some truly ancient great families from Dao State.Supervisors of the Feather Transformation Realm from the Dao Court, and department heads of the Demon Suppression Department.As well as supervisors from the power centers of the Seven Pavilions, and even grand figures like Pavilion Elders, who are rarely seen.These are individuals ordinary cultivators cannot interact with in a lifetime.And inside Viewing Sword Building, it is similarly divided into high and low levels, with strict grades.Even among all noble guests, there are also divisions into three, six, nine, and so on.Each person can only occupy a position that matches their identity.Moreover, all rooms in Viewing Sword Building are sealed, with specialized Fifth Grade void teleportation arrays set up inside. Entering and exiting the building is unknown to anyone.People outside simply cannot see Viewing Sword Building. They also do not know about these people high in the clouds.And even if noble individuals can ascend Viewing Sword Building, they are also limited to their own rooms.They also do not know which prominent individuals are currently inside the entire Viewing Sword Building watching the battle.In positions above their heads, there might be successors of some ancient family.Great Elders of some Sixth Grade family.Supervisors of the Seven Pavilions, or even all-powerful Pavilion Elders.It is even possible that someone from the Dao Court's Heavenly Son clan has come to watch the battle...Of course, it is also possible that there is no one at all.These truly prominent individuals, who are approaching the pinnacle of power in the Nine Provinces, do not necessarily all come to watch the Sword Discussion.Even if they come, they do not necessarily have the time to watch every Sword Discussion.After all, it is not yet the Heaven Character Sword Discussion; the truly exciting decisive battle has not yet begun.And at this time, in the middle section of Viewing Sword Building.The Sect Masters of Tai A, Chong Xu, and Tai Xu Three Mountains were rarely gathered together, drinking tea and watching the battle.The Sword Discussion Assembly concerns sect rankings, the allocation of the Qian Long Spirit Mine, and sect reforms. As Sect Masters, it is impossible for them not to care.Previously, they also did not watch every match.They were mostly scattered, one person today, two people tomorrow, sometimes not even one person came.After all, Sect Masters are also very busy.But as the Sword Discussion progressed to this point, their hearts were indeed a little uneasy.The fifth rank in the Sword Discussion.This ranking is very subtle.One step further, and it is among the Four Great Sects.Maintaining the current rank means being first among the Eight Great Gates.But as long as they retreat just one small step, both the Four Great Sects and the first rank among the Eight Great Gates will be lost.Moreover, the current situation of the Sword Discussion is severe, no different from sailing against the current. As soon as they retreat, it will be truly difficult to rise again, like ascending to heaven.In their position, they seek their politics.They are all Sect Masters, and have been Sect Masters for many years, knowing more than anyone the weight of this sect ranking.Sect Masters of the Four Great Sects.Sect Masters who are first among the Eight Great Gates.Ordinary Sect Masters of the Eight Great Gates.The differences within are really too great.Moreover, these three choices are almost all "one step away."One step further, then the Four Great Sects.A stable step means first among the Eight Great Gates.Retreat one step, then ordinary Eight Great Gates.Almost every step represents a "world of difference."Facing this situation, this opportunity to stake heavenly riches on one line, even immortals cannot remain calm.The three Sect Masters have deep city mansions, their faces showing no expression.But in their hearts, they are all greatly tormented by the gains and losses of this one-step difference, not knowing how many nights they cannot sleep.But now, they cannot help with anything.Everything can only rely on these children to fight themselves.To what extent they fight, they can only accept.Even if they lose, they cannot blame these disciples.Because these children have already tried their best, and have done very, very well, even much better than their previous expectations...But even though they say this, they still strongly desire that Tai Xu Gate can win.They say nothing, nor do they dare to pressure Mo Hua and the others.But in their hearts, they truly desire more than anyone that Mo Hua and the others can win.No matter how, as long as they can win, it is good.If they win, it is possible to maintain their current position, and it is even possible to sit in the fifth position and look at the fourth, moving further forward.Every match victory is as precious as treasure.But if they lose again, then there is nothing left.The room is quiet, with tea vapor lingering.The Three Mountains Sect Masters calmly drink tea.But however calm they are on the surface, their hearts are equally tormented.Even more nervous than all the watching cultivators.After drinking tea for a while, Tai A Sect Master finally couldn't bear it, coughed, and slowly asked:"This match... should... be winnable, right?"As soon as he asked this sentence, the hearts of Chong Xu Sect Master and Tai Xu Sect Master both suddenly jumped.Chong Xu Sect Master couldn't help but say:"Don't say it out loud! Blessing and disaster are intertwined, win and lose are converted. Sometimes if you say win, you will lose instead. If you say lose, perhaps you can win instead...""The previous Sword Discussion match was like this. Everyone thought we would lose, but we won.""Now you say win, don't mess things up so that we end up losing again..."Tai A Sect Master felt a bit guilty when he heard this, but still maintained a straight face, "This is metaphysics."Chong Xu Sect Master said: "Heavenly mechanisms and cause and effect are mysterious and profound. One cannot completely believe, but again one cannot not believe. Sometimes, you just need to believe a bit in evil..."Tai A Sect Master sighed: "Then consider I didn't say it."After that, the three people continued to drink tea.But while drinking, Tai A Sect Master was still uneasy in the end, and asked Tai Xu Sect Master again: "You say, can we win?"Tai Xu Sect Master's already not-so-calm heart was again stirred with unease.He said helplessly: "Not easy to win...""Are you saying it's not easy to win because of the 'metaphysics' of heavenly mechanisms, or is it really not easy to win?" Tai A Sect Master confirmed.Tai Xu Sect Master sighed: "Opposite is Qian Dao Sect. The strength of Qian Dao Sect, do we still need to say more?"Tai A Sect Master frowned.Tai Xu Sect Master said: "Qian Dao Sect's strongest disciple is Shen Lin Shu.""Although on the surface no one admits it, this Shen Lin Shu actually surpasses Xiao Wu Chen, Ao Zhan, and Duan Mu Qing by a head.""He is the strongest among the Qian Xue Four Heavenly Prodigies.""Although there is no Shen Lin Shu in this Sword Discussion match, there is a Shen Zang Feng.""Shen Zang Feng is the strongest genius disciple under Shen Lin Shu in the Shen family.""Shen Lin Shu has the innate Qilin blood, one ride absolutely dust, his edge is too much, dimming other crowd of heavenly prodigies.""With pearl and jade in front, Shen Zang Feng's talent and fame are not prominent.""But that is only relative to Shen Lin Shu. Looking at other sects, this Shen Zang Feng is absolutely a first-rate heavenly prodigy.""It may really not be that simple to win against him."Tai Xu Sect Master said slowly.Tai A Sect Master nodded slightly.Tai Xu Sect Master is indeed of great clan origin, and sees these heavenly prodigy disciples very thoroughly.But saying this, his heart was instead more uneasy.After finally winning one match, will it just be a "transient bloom"? Will they start losing consecutively again in this match?This is very anxious.Tai A Sect Master sighed.This is the only bad point about the Sword Discussion. Watching others' Sword Discussion, where they fight to the death, with ups and downs, one feels very excited.But if it concerns one's own interests, watching one's own sect disciples engage in Sword Discussion, especially during consecutive losses, it truly torments the heart, making the heart like dead ashes.Not only Tai A Sect Master.The seemingly calm Tai Xu Sect Master, and the Chong Xu Sect Master who had begun to research "heavenly mechanism metaphysics," were also feeling unwell at this time.Each harboring their own thoughts, even the Three Mountains Sect Masters who had previously each had their own calculations, at this time watching Mo Hua and their Sword Discussion, suddenly had a kind of feeling of hearts connected and empathizing.The estrangement between them was lessened.The atmosphere was also a lot more intimate.There was truly a feeling of the Three Mountains being one vein, one prospering means all prosper, one losing means all lose, even uneasiness felt together.But at this kind of time, they could not do anything.They could only sit together, while constantly drinking tea, and seemingly calmly, yet staring without blinking at the square of painted scenes.And at this time, on the square of painted scenes, Mo Hua was already carrying high-level arrays and rendezvoused with Ling Hu Xiao and the others.At this time, the outer city of Qian Dao Sect had already been breached.The outer city in this Sword Discussion system was not originally easy to defend.Furthermore, with Ling Hu Xiao, this genius in sword Dao with sharp sword qi, Qian Dao Sect also only symbolically guarded a bit, then retreated to the inner city.The city gate of the inner city is the key.This also decides the win or lose of the attack on the city.But when Mo Hua arrived in front of the inner city gate, he discovered that there was no one defending in front of the city gate, and above the city gate, five layers of array light were flickering.Among the Four Great Sects, Qian Dao Sect's array level ranks first.The arrays on the city gate, although only Second Grade mid-level, were all superior defense class arrays.With five layers overlapping, the defense effect was naturally also very strong.And at this time, all five disciples of Qian Dao Sect were guarding in the inner city.The person in front was the tall and strong, somewhat gloomy Shen Zang Feng.At this time, he held a heavy sword in his hand, secretly accumulating power, powerful spiritual power surging, sharp sword qi gathering at the sword body.Solely by the momentum of his unreleased sword qi, compared to Xiao Ruo Han of Qian Dao Sect, he was superior and not inferior.Qian Dao Sect's Open Heaven Split Earth Sword Art.This is a superior heavy sword sword art.It is one of the most ancient sword arts of Qian Dao Sect, with extremely strong power.However, its majestic and heavy nature is relatively niche, so very few people in Qian Dao Sect cultivate this sword art.This sword art is very suitable for Shen Zang Feng.Shen Zang Feng is precisely because of this Open Heaven Split Earth Sword Art that he can become the first person in the Shen family, even the entire Qian Dao Sect, under Shen Lin Shu.Now in this Sword Discussion match, although he was on the defending side.But he did not want to just defend the city.This was too passive and could not display his strength.He wanted to turn defense into offense and completely chop and kill the five people from Tai Xu Gate.If the people attacking the city were killed, this city would naturally also be defended.This Sword Discussion match could also be won naturally.Especially Mo Hua...A fierce light flashed in Shen Zang Feng's eyes.The Shen family and Mo Hua also had no small enmity. If possible, he of course wanted to chop Mo Hua down with his sword.Therefore, others defending the city was truly defending the city.But Shen Zang Feng's intention was to kill people.He wanted to strengthen the city gate, take this as "bait," and consume the strength of Tai Xu Gate.Tai Xu Gate's threats were two.One was Ling Hu Xiao's sword art, and the other was Mo Hua's arrays.The city gate itself was already firm, and with five Second Grade mid-level arrays, if they wanted to forcibly break the gate, either Ling Hu Xiao would have to display a superior killing move.Or Mo Hua would have to use up all his arrays.Or both together.And once Ling Hu Xiao used a killing move, he would not be able to recover in a short time and would no longer be a threat.Once Mo Hua used up his arrays, he would basically be useless.He himself was accumulating a killing move, waiting at ease for the tired opponent. He would wait for Tai Xu Gate to break the city gate, then deliver a heavy blow head-on.In this way, the time Tai Xu Gate broke the gate would also be the time of their group extermination.Shen Zang Feng's gaze was ice cold.Outside the city gate, Mo Hua looked at the arrays in front of him, sensed the killing intent behind the gate, and with a slight thought, probably guessed Shen Zang Feng's intention and sighed slightly.He estimated that in a frontal fight, he and his few companions could not defeat this Shen Zang Feng at all.Although Shen Lin Shu of Qian Dao Sect was very strong.But this Shen Zang Feng was also not weak at all.This is the hateful point about the Four Great Sects in Qian Xue state.Heavenly prodigies are like grasshoppers; one can grab a large handful, and each one is not to be underestimated.Moreover, given the current situation, Shen Zang Feng's plan was also not wrong at all.Breaking the city gate would necessarily require great effort.Either Xiao Xiao would unleash a big move, or he would have to use up all his arrays.In this way, even if the city gate were broken, they would not be able to respond to Qian Dao Sect's sword qi chop and kill.Not using big moves and arrays and slowly grinding was also possible.But the problem was, the Sword Discussion had a time limit. They had to attack the city quickly. Once they delayed for a long time and the time arrived, they would also be automatically judged to have lost."This Shen Zang Feng has quite deep thoughts..."Mo Hua said silently in his heart.But unfortunately, these people still did not know how much he had learned about arrays.Second Grade nineteen patterns may not be the limit of Second Grade arrays.Above nineteen patterns, there were still many profound array principles."Cover me a bit."Mo Hua said to Cheng Mo and the others.Cheng Mo and the others all nodded.Then Ling Hu Xiao began to urge his sword qi to bombard the city gate, putting some pressure on the disciples of Qian Dao Sect.Ouyang Xuan assisted the attack from the side.Si Tu Jian observed the surroundings, vigilant against sneak attacks from Qian Dao Sect disciples.Cheng Mo then carried a large axe and protected Mo Hua's side.With the same sect echoing him, Mo Hua then began to arrange arrays on the city wall.The first array was an earth and stone array.This array was not for attacking the city, but for "sealing the city," blocking all disciples of Qian Dao Sect inside the city, not letting them come out.Thereafter, Mo Hua consecutively arranged three Second Grade nineteen patterns high-level killing arrays.One metal system golden light killing array, one wood system wood burial killing array, and one fire system earth fire killing array.These three killing arrays contained the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements, cooperating with each other, further increasing their killing power.Moreover, these killing arrays had a certain targeted effect.But they were not targeted at the arrays arranged by the disciples of Qian Dao Sect.Not even at the city gate itself.But at the Second Grade high-level arrays drawn inside the "city wall" by the elders of Lun Dao Mountain before the city attack battle.In the city attack battle, the target was the city gate.Because the city gate was the weakest point.The city walls extended long and long on both sides of the city gate, extremely firm.The city walls were boundaries and were places where disciples were not allowed to attack from the beginning.This was considered a default rule.These city walls were wide and thick, and were personally drawn with Second Grade high-level arrays by the elders of Lun Dao Mountain, used to protect the city.The reason for using Second Grade high-level arrays was that general Foundation Establishment disciples' battles would not involve powers above Third Grade Gold Core.And generally speaking, Second Grade high-level arrays were also just enough to use.No one with normal thinking would not hit the weak "city gate" and go find trouble on the thick and hard "city walls."But that was before.Unfortunately, now this city wall encountered Mo Hua.In the previous Sword Discussion match, while Mo Hua was squatting behind the wall to draw arrays, he unintentionally noticed that inside this city wall, the elders of Lun Dao Mountain had drawn many high-level arrays.Mo Hua's heart was inevitably a little restless.He was really a bit "hand itchy."Calculating, he had not collapsed arrays for a very, very long time.The last time he collapsed arrays seemed to be when he was in Tong Xian City, where he collapsed a large array and killed the big demon Feng Xi.Of course, Mo Hua also did not dare to truly "collapse" on a large scale.One reason was that he had not completely learned the true Second Grade reverse spirit array.Another reason was that this was the Sword Discussion Assembly, with so many people watching, and he did not want to make too much movement and be stared at.Mo Hua's idea was also very simple.Triggering the explosion of three high-level killing arrays, through the power oscillation of the five elements, would induce the imbalance of the high-level arrays inside the city wall, making the spiritual power structure in an unstable state.And inside this killing array, Mo Hua hid a "reverse spirit pattern."This reverse spirit pattern was not complete.But this was a fuse, a wisp of "flame," which could "ignite" the unstable spiritual power, make it reverse change, and further trigger the linkage imbalance of a large number of high-level arrays inside the city wall, producing an explosion.Three killing arrays naturally could not blow up the city wall.Mo Hua did not have this expectation either.These three killing arrays were actually just a facade, used to open a gap and send the flame of the reverse spirit pattern into the explosive pile, triggering a large number of arrays to explode...This series of reverse change processes had undergone Mo Hua's extensive derivation.Once the explosion occurred, the firelight would scatter and automatically "destroy the evidence."No one would notice him doing a little trick here.As for its power...Because it was not a true "collapse," but merely using "collapse" as a fuse to trigger the arrays themselves to explode.Essentially, it was still the power of high-level arrays.How strong the specific power was still depended on how many high-level arrays inside the city wall this reverse spirit pattern could trigger to become imbalanced.Derivation was derivation, and practice was practice.This result was not easy to predict.But Mo Hua thought it should not be too weak.Moreover, this was also the only way to win.Really launching a frontal attack on the city with the disciples of Qian Dao Sect, they probably still could not win.Soon, Mo Hua finished arranging all the arrays, then said:"Everyone run a bit farther."After Ling Hu Xiao and the others had all walked far, Mo Hua began to "ignite."Inside the city wall, the disciples of Qian Dao Sect detected a slight discord.Someone wanted to come out and look, but discovered that the city gate was blocked dead by Mo Hua's array.They simply could not get out.Shen Zang Feng and the other several disciples of Qian Dao Sect looked at each other, their expressions somewhat gloomy.At this time, they still did not know what would happen.Not only them, the watching cultivators also did not know what would happen.Because the process of Mo Hua arranging arrays was relatively boring.The two sides of the Sword Discussion had not yet reached the time for a real fight.Most of the audience's moods were still relatively idle.Inside Viewing Sword Pavilion, the Three Mountains Sect Masters were also quietly drinking tea.Then in the next instant, like a thunderclap in a clear sky, a "boom" suddenly sounded.Everyone only felt pain in their eardrums.A dazzling light flashed in front of their eyes.Then on the square of painted scenes, firelight instantly spread, explosion flames, like fireworks, densely packed, instantly covering the entire screen, like a sea of light, almost blinding their eyes.(End
