Chapter 1617: Who is the Praying Mantis and Who is the Yello
and flee for his life. Now he is probably hiding in some dark corner, barely clinging to life. He might have already died under the celestial phenomena of the Ancient Immortal Battlefield. So you don...Mount Taiyue Gate.
The celestial phenomena are becoming increasingly intense.
A huge hole has appeared in the heavens, and the celestial palace is shining into reality.
The storm in the passage shows no signs of abating, but the rate at which it expands is gradually slowing. According to Zhu Wudao, the passage is gradually stabilizing.
But the tremor of the martial arts arena was far greater than before, and the force became stronger and stronger. The surrounding cultivators were shaken away one after another, only Mo Xindao and the master of Qiling Cave could barely hold on.
After a while, the auras of the five people from Zhumen Dao also began to quicken.
Zhu Wudao gritted his teeth, his expression grim, staring intently at the passage above, without a word. Without his order, Su Zinan and others dared not let go, they could only persevere.
Time passed slowly.
They felt incredibly long.
Finally, the passage stopped expanding and hovered above Taiyue Gate. The turbulence was still impressive, but now it was possible to enter.
Of course, intruders must still be extremely careful, for the consequences can be dire.
With a single command, all things ceased to exist.
"Come in!"
>
The Dharma platform trembled, carrying everyone up into the sky and plunging headfirst into the passage. In a blink of an eye, they were swallowed by the turbulence and vanished without a trace.
Other disciples of the Wu Xiang Xian Men sect split into two groups.
Some relied on their strength, forming groups and following figures like Zhū Wú Dào into the passage.

Some, for the sake of safety, evacuated Taiyue Mountain with their disciples. One reason was to wait for the power of the turbulence to weaken, and the other was to prevent retaliation from Taiyue Mountain. Soon they would be glad of their decision.
Qin Sang stood at a distance, activating his eyesight to see everything that was happening.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Su Zinan and others entered the passage, the remnants of Wu Xiang Xian Men fled.
For a moment, the entrance to the passage fell into a brief silence.
Judging from the current turbulent situation, it seems unlikely we can easily break in. There's no need to rush.
Qin Sang was not in a hurry to leave. He stood still, his eyes scanning back and forth, searching for the eight scenic views. The ancestral home had appeared, but why hadn't True Person Zi Lei shown himself yet
Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else!
He scanned the mountain peaks, seeing a streak of light flashing at the edge of the Taigu Mountains. The nearby cultivators were startled by the celestial phenomenon and rushed towards it, but they couldn't see any signs of the Eight Scenic View cultivators.
>
At this moment, Qin Sang's gaze was drawn to the main peak of Taiyue Mountain.
When a celestial phenomenon occurs.
The Mutian Xuanzhen formation and the Taiyue Mountain Guardian Formation were both breached from within. However, the Guardian Formation was rooted in the ground and the main peak, its foundation remained intact, making it relatively easy to repair.
On the main peak.
A burst of light emanated from the spirit formation, and several figures flew out. Leading them was Hua Chenzi, the Great Elder of Mount Taiyue.
The remnants of the Wu Xiang Xian Men haven't gone far, but there's no time to settle scores with them now.
Hua Chenzi looked around, drawing in qi to form talismans.
Dozens of dark yellow talismans hovered before him. Then, Hua Shenzi's fingers flickered, beams of light shot out, and the dark yellow talismans plunged into the peaks of Taoyue Gate one after another.
The earth rumbled.
The mountain peak trembled.
The Mount Guarding Formation has been reactivated!
No one stopped Hua Shenzi, this step was completed very smoothly.
Then, an astonishing sight occurred.
Suddenly, dust billowed from the ground. Under the power of the formation, important peaks like Zhǔfēng and others belonging to Taiyüemén sank deep into the earth. A thick layer of ochre-yellow light enveloped the surface, then slowly contracted until it became the size of a mirror before disappearing into the ground as well.
It is foreseeable that in the near future, there will certainly be a fierce struggle surrounding the Wuxiang Xianmen.
We still don't know how many masters will be attracted here.
Unless someone moves the Wu Xiang Immortal Sect.
The Taoyue Gate is right before us, its foundation lies here. If we don't find a way to protect it, if anything were to happen and it gets caught in the crossfire, the sect could be destroyed.
>
"No one is allowed to leave half a step without the Sect Master's and my orders!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Hua Chenzi's voice echoed into the depths of the earth.
Meanwhile.
Outside Taiyue Gate, in a valley, radiance shines.
In the distance, Qin Sang's expression flickered slightly, secretly thinking that the main person had finally appeared!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Hua Guang, like cold moonlight, slashed across the void, forming an arc before Hua Chenzi.
Both parties were familiar with each other, and they didn't follow any etiquette. They just nodded at each other and looked at the empty passageway, their expressions varied.
The True Person Zilei's body was bathed in moonlight, and behind each person hung a full moon, their energies interconnected. It seemed they were also preparing a formation.
Gazing at the passage, Zi Lei Zhen Ren wore a contemplative expression.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Yue Lingtian said in a low voice, "The power of the Wu Xiang Xian Men's great formation is stronger than expected. The Five Phases Order and that dharma platform are the keys to opening the ancestral residence. They should also be able to provide protection and guidance within the turbulence. There are many remnants of the Wu Xiang Xian Men. If they get there first, Daoist He Gao alone may not be able to stop them."
> Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
"Not bad!"
Purple Thunder Real Person wasn't flustered, "Fortunately, we also have preparations. And their Five Manifestations aren't complete, so the Dharma Platform shouldn't last long."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Saying that, the Purple Thunder True Person raised a spirit talisman and shattered it.
A shaft of moonlight shone behind everyone, enveloping Hua Chenzi and the others.
Only to see a blur of figures as everyone entered the passage. The imperial army stepped into the channel.
Both sides are well-prepared, with many masters. I can only transform into a companion, which seems rather thin...
Qin Sang sighed inwardly. He waited until the cultivators from Baguanguan and Taoyue Gate disappeared, then finally moved.
Unexpectedly, just as Qin Sang and his avatar were about to leave, they suddenly stopped.
A black cloud suddenly rose from the site of Taiyue Gate, circling the entrance twice before vanishing into the passage.
Seeing this, Qin Sang's eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of surprise. Although he hadn't gotten close, his spiritual sense detected a trace of threat from the black mist.
"Could it be another great cultivator Was he brought here by some party, or is this just a coincidence How many more mysterious experts are there in Zhongzhou"
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the hawk behind it.
How many mantises, how many yellow warblers
The
Wuxiang Xianmen's pond of water might be more turbid than imagined!
Qin Sang no longer hesitated and, accompanied by his avatar, flew to the bottom of the passage.
"...Boom boom..."
Being closer, I can feel the turbulence's power more intensely.
The passage was filled with a hazy, indistinct atmosphere. While there was visible chaos, it wasn't entirely random. There were clear layers of restrictions and fluctuations in the spiritual formations.
But this is not good news, it may be necessary to resist the impact while breaking through the formation, making things even more difficult!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The power and chaos here are no less than those of the Wumang Hall. However, the interior of the Wu Xiang Immortal Gate is complete and should not experience a gray tide.
Qin Sang drew his Golden Sinking Sword, cleaving a path with its bladelight.
The avatar and the true self created some distance, prompting the Treading Snow Divine Sword to be raised for vigilance.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Heaven's Eye Butterfly focused intently on the depths of the passage, pushing its Heaven's Eye power to the limit. It pierced through the chaos, guiding him forward.
Although Qin Sang came alone, he was not lonely.
Qin Sang went in soon after.
The first wave of cultivators attracted by the celestial phenomenon arrived, mostly Golden Core cultivators.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Upon arriving here, they witnessed a sight even more astonishing than the celestial phenomena.
>
"What about Taiyue Gate"
They stared blankly at the empty ground.
These people mostly came from forces outside the Taoyue Mountain, including small sects, cultivating families, or those with some connection to the Taoyue Sect. Some even just arrived at the Taoyue Sect a few days ago.
The unimportant foothills were still there, but the main peak and the core had all disappeared. They were leveled overnight, which sent shivers down their spines!
"Was it caused by celestial phenomena"
Someone swallowed nervously, their voice trembling, "Who dares to go in"
"Didn't someone just go in Maybe it leads to a secret realm. The storm should weaken, it can't stay this dangerous forever. There has to be a way..."
A young man in green robes watched the passageway, a hint of anticipation in his eyes. Before he could speak, a short, sharp cry suddenly pierced the air.
Originally, a monk was affected by the turbulent flow emanating from the dimensional rift due to his proximity. He was unable to escape in time and was swept into it, leaving no trace of his remains.
Upon seeing this, the crowd was astonished and dispersed in all directions, circling outside and daring not to approach.
At this moment, a streak of light shot from the horizon and stopped in front of the passage. A wizened old man appeared, the first Yuan Ying cultivator to be drawn by the celestial phenomenon.
"It's the ancestor of Queshan!" someone whispered.
Quèshān Zuǒnzǐ gazed at the passage for a moment, pondered slightly, then raised his right hand. His index finger flickered and a spirit raven rose up with flapping wings, cried twice, and dove into the passage.
The old man of Qūe Mountain stared at the knuckle ring, seeming to be lost in thought, but in reality, he was sensing the spirit raven.
Not long.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
The old man of Que Shan’s face changed slightly, his right hand trembled, and the knuckles suddenly darkened and lost their luster.
"Haha..."
There was a burst of laughter from behind.
The void twisted, and a short and stout monk appeared beside the ancestor of Que Mountain. “It seems it’s even more chaotic inside than outside. It looks like that old thing got a taste of his own medicine!”
The elder of Què Mountain felt his face flushed with shame and snorted coldly, "Old Ghost of Revenge, you can try if you dare!"
“There’s no need to try any further. Even if I force my way in, I'd be struggling left and right. It’s better to wait for a few more Daoist friends to arrive and proceed together.” Old Ghost Qiu said with a sideways glance.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The ancestor of Qūe Mountain did not refuse, lowering his head to look at the ground. "Was Taiguimen truly razed to the ground"
"Absolutely not!"
Old Ghost Chou looked certain, "Although Yue Lingtian seems rough and unrestrained, he is actually very cunning. It's not that easy to wipe out his entire clan. Taoyue Mountain has the secret transmission of 'Earth Record', which is unmatched in the world's geomancy. I estimate that he can connect with the earth veins and hide the mountain gate, so the celestial phenomenon is likely created by Yue Lingtian!"
The old ghost of Que Shan nodded, gazing intently at the mirage deep within the passage.
Qiu Laogui asked, “What did you think of”
"You didn't expect this" asked the old ghost of Que Shan.
After waiting for a while, they were led to meet several more young disciples.
Old Ghost Chou and his men attempted to charge once, but found the passage too deep. They were a disorganized bunch, fighting for themselves and unable to hold out for long. They retreated and discussed their formation.
At that moment, two figures drifted over.
"Two Daoist friends, please wait a moment..."
Qiu Laogui subconsciously invited people over. After seeing the other person's face and cultivation level, his expression suddenly froze, regretting it endlessly, wishing he could slap himself twice.
Ancestor Que Shan and others also changed their expressions drastically, as if facing a great enemy.
The one who arrived was the Poison King and Master Huaiyin.
Master Huaiyin was not well-known in Zhongzhou, but the Poison King was renowned throughout the land.
The Poison King smiled ambiguously, appearing before the crowd. He glanced at the passageway and then at the ruins of Taoyue Sect, "Can any of you enlightened friends tell me what happened to Taoyue Sect"
>Inside the channel.
Those without Tao and others rode their magic platforms and wielded the Five Phase Commands, relentlessly charging forward. The five-colored light couldn't penetrate the turbulence too far, being compressed into an elliptical light shield that enveloped them all.
The Five Phases Order truly lives up to its status as a treasure from the Wuxiang Immortal Sect.
Protected by the energy shield, their pressure was greatly reduced.
The formations and restrictions of the passage, once touched by the light shield, would silently dissipate without forming an obstacle. The turbulence generated by the formation's agitation would also be weakened.
Unfortunately, good times don't last.
As time goes on, the drawbacks of the counterfeit tokens become apparent. Previously, Zhoudong used other means to forcibly maintain the balance between the tokens, but now he is unable to continue doing so.
'Bang! Bang! Bang!'
>
The Dharma platform shuddered violently, the radiance of the Five Aspects flickering erratically. Its power was unstable.
In particular, the two counterfeit tokens became their weakest point!
"Fall back!"
When confronted with the unknown, it is best to exercise caution. Withdraw your hands and retreat quickly.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Su Zinan and the others were not slow either, immediately separating from the Dharma Platform.
With a deafening boom, the magic circle shattered.
Fragments flew everywhere, instantly engulfed by the turbulence and reduced to dust.
All five phases were blown up simultaneously.
Here's the translation:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
In the midst of the chaos, five streaks of light were particularly eye-catching.
I am about to be swept away by the current.
Zhu Wudao's eyes blazed with golden light, as if real beams shot towards Jin Xiangling. Jin Xiangling froze instantly, enveloped by a small ball of gold light. The golden light pulled him back to Zhu Wudao.
Similarly, the odd-faced man and the swordsman also have the same actions.
The movements of the back-sword wielder were even faster than those of Zhu Wu Dao. As they retreated, they casually slashed out a blade of light, disrupting Tu Xiang's flight path and making it easy to capture.
The Goblin then transformed its arms into a vine, wrapping it around Mo Xiang and pulling him before it.
However, the two counterfeit tokens weren't so lucky. Zhu Wudao had refined the counterfeit tokens as the key to opening the ancient ruins of the Wu Xiang Immortal Gate, which was already his limit.
Su Zinan and the man in white were about to steal his token when it suddenly exploded. It is unknown if it was due to being affected by the magic array, or if its power had been exhausted, or perhaps both.
The robed man watched helplessly as the token fragment was swept away by the turbulent currents, a frustrated grunt emanating from beneath his mask.
Su Zinan grasped a fragment, obviously beyond repair.
He's expression darkened slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. He cast a glance over Zhu Wu Dao, Guai Lian Ren, and Bei Jian Ren, noticing that they had all put away their Five Phase Orders. They couldn't use the power of the Five Phase Orders alone to break through the formation, so he gave up.
Losing the protection of Dharma platform.
While those without virtue could still manage, others found it more difficult to respond.
The passage is open, and the Wuxi Xianmen ancestral home lies ahead. Without external threats and the foundation of cooperation gone, it's inevitable that they would develop various thoughts and find it difficult to wholeheartedly cooperate again.
Although they didn't formally disband, Su Zinan and the others tacitly maintained a certain distance, governing independently.
Those with slightly weaker cultivation could only continue to huddle together, gradually falling behind.
Similar situations also occur later on.
The Eight Views Pavilion and Taiyue Gate combined their forces, marching towards the enemy. Initially, they made rapid progress, but their momentum gradually slowed down as they advanced.
While the spirit formation could ensure safety, it somewhat slowed down Zi Lei Zhenren and Yue Ling Tian.
"Senior brothers and sisters, please see me and the head of Yue Sect off first. You may come later!"
Unable to see the figures of those who had been waiting for a long time, Zilei Zhenren couldn't hold back any longer.
>
As fellow disciples, we share in both glory and loss. Yuan Ying would naturally not oppose this, immediately changing the formation to surround True Person Zi Lei and Yue Ling Tian at the center, joining forces to break through their path forward for them.
Their speed surged, disappearing like phantoms.
Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, happy new year to all!
I wanted to add another chapter today, but I just couldn't write it. My mind wouldn't settle down. I kept getting up and sitting down until I finally managed to write one chapter. Sorry about that.
