Chapter 860 The Nameless Old Taoist
When Grand Tutor Wen ordered the activation of the great formation, all the skilled and extraordinary individuals in Xiqi noticed this situation immediately!
Anyone in Xiqi with even a little knowledge of formations could understand the chain formation designed by the Jie Sect. However, while they could understand it, breaking through the formation was extremely difficult, as this complex formation perfectly embodied the essence of trapping formations.
There are only two possibilities to break this great formation: either you have a remarkable mastery of formations and can break it with skill, or you have extraordinary strength and can break it with brute force!
In the first scenario, the cultivation level requirement is not very high. As long as you understand the core principles of the formation and have the cultivation level of an Earth Immortal, you will be able to break the formation!
However, in the second case, the requirements for cultivation level are quite high. According to the deduction of the Tongtian Sect Master, it is not even possible to dream of it without the cultivation level of the peak of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal!
Of course, if one can understand some of the weaknesses of this formation, the cultivation level required will naturally be lowered. As for how much the requirement can be lowered, that depends on how many flaws the person breaking the formation can discover. The more flaws discovered, the lower the cultivation level required to break the formation!
Although the Western sect members, including the Pharmacist, have the ability to break the great formation that seals off the entire Xiqi, they are just here to shirk their responsibilities and are not going to put in any effort!
As for the heavenly generals led by Yang Jiao, although each of them had a decent level of cultivation, with all of them at or above the Golden Immortal realm, they had basically focused their energy on cultivation. Naturally, they had little knowledge of formations, and it was more difficult for them to break through the great formation with the cultivation of a Golden Immortal than for a mortal to ascend to heaven!
Of course, it's not that they're truly incapable of breaking the formation; it's just that those methods were life-saving techniques that Haotian had gathered for them, and using them here would be a waste of their talents!
In general, with each faction in Xiqi harboring its own ulterior motives, the blockade of Xiqi could not be properly addressed!
Just as Xiqi was about to run out of food and was about to resort to cannibalism, a strange old Taoist priest, exuding an evil and murderous aura but easily overlooked by outsiders, appeared in the sky above Xiqi City and casually shattered the great formation that Wen Zhong had painstakingly set up!
In addition, the grain that originally belonged to the Yin Shang dynasty appeared in the granary of Xiqi with the old Taoist priest's flick of his sleeve, almost crushing the grain official in charge of Xiqi's grain!
Originally, with Wen Zhong's cultivation level, he wouldn't have been able to notice the old Taoist's presence at all. However, when setting up the formation, Wen Zhong also kept a backup plan to ensure that he could sense the state of the formation!
It was this backup plan that allowed Wen Zhong to sense the old Taoist's presence the instant he broke the formation. Although Wen Zhong suffered some backlash, he was able to detect the old Taoist's presence by using the remaining power of the formation.
The moment Wen Zhong saw the old Taoist priest, he knew that this old Taoist priest was definitely not someone he, the Grand Tutor of Yin Shang, could mess with. Just as Wen Zhong was about to order a retreat so that the Yin Shang army could leave temporarily and avoid the storm, flowers fell from the sky, golden lotuses emerged from the ground, and purple clouds came from the east for 30,000 miles, a scene resembling the procession of a sage!
As Wen Zhong was pondering which sage had come, he suddenly noticed three figures appear in front of the old Taoist. Even though Wen Zhong only vaguely saw the three figures, he immediately realized that it was his grandmaster who had brought two grandmaster uncles with him!
Just as Wen Zhong was about to kneel before the Three Pure Ones, a golden lotus silently lifted him up, and an invisible force prevented Wen Zhong from kneeling!
Just as Wen Zhong was about to say some polite words, he felt the golden lotus beneath his feet begin to nourish his primordial spirit, allowing the injuries he had sustained from the broken formation to heal at a visible speed!
At the same time, an inexplicable force seemed to sense that he was not prepared to rest and recuperate, so it exerted its power to control Wen Zhong, preventing him from doing anything unrelated to healing!
