Chapter 2567 The Heavenly Capital Formation
The Great Khan's backup plan... that was indeed true. At the same moment, an endless cacophony of noise surged forth.

The sound had no known origin, yet it was omnipresent.

It seemed to appear out of thin air, or perhaps it had always been there, only to be suddenly brought to life.

"So that's how it is," Han Li sneered, retreating to Qu Jianlei's side. "I had thought there really was a Great Ruler!"

"Can you stop courting death?" Jin Ge also retreated to Qu Jianlei's side.

Seeing that the golden wheel's attack was ineffective and it was still spinning futilely, his face turned a little yellow. "Is it necessary to provoke the other party?"

"Don't rush into the cave," Han Li said calmly.

He knew very well that once he entered the cave, he would be protected by a mysterious treasure, and no one could do anything to him unless the Great Lord came out.

But that was only a last resort, and he didn't want to take this opportunity to find out Qu Zhenzun's trump card.

He explained seriously, "This reaction can only be triggered when the treasure is damaged. Let's try to defend against it first and see what else happens!"

Upon hearing this, Jin Ge finally realized what was going on. As an encyclopedia, he was not lacking in similar knowledge.

"No wonder the Hundred Friends Alliance didn't show up. So... heh, they were just waiting for you to break down the palace?"

"That's normal, isn't it?" Han Li replied, but didn't bother to say more. "Prepare for battle."

The details here are actually quite easy to explain. This palace is indeed very powerful, and it was truly the work of a master craftsman.

However, the owner was oblivious to his fate, or rather, even if the great king were alive, he would not have paid any attention to this treasure.

However, if anyone were to damage this treasure, it would be a disrespectful act towards the Great Khan, so it's normal to leave some follow-up measures.

In short, the true sage cannot be insulted, and the true monarch certainly cannot be insulted either.

However, if the Great Khan takes this as his goal, the means he leaves behind will primarily be to maintain his own dignity, and it is difficult to judge their strength or weakness.

However, at this moment, the three of them had no other choice. If they could see this, wouldn't others see it too?

You really can't underestimate anyone. They may be able to escape now, but... what about their reputation?
These are merely the methods of a powerful ruler. The Merchant Alliance has them, but does the Moral Realm not?
However, the noise vanished instantly in the next moment, replaced by violent fluctuations in space.

"Oh no," Han Li's expression changed, "Rule shift... Just how much do they like spatial traps?"

The attack on the Unworthy True Venerable was a spatial trap, as was the attack on Qu Jianlei, and it remains a spatial trap to this day.

"True Venerable Hanli, you're overthinking it," a divine sense transmitted, speaking calmly and slowly.

"We've waited so long for you two, how can a mere spatial trap possibly express our sincerity in welcoming you?"

“Oh,” Han Li nodded, her face expressionless. “That’s more like it. I thought you guys would play dead until the very end.”

"Don't fight on their pre-set battlefield," Qu Jianlei said, raising his hand to pull Jin Ge and Han Li over.

The two did not resist at all; this was all agreed upon before they came.

Qu Jianlei tossed out a teleportation array plate, intending to activate it. He had now upgraded his equipment and would no longer use the old-fashioned teleportation array.

However, this teleportation array was developed based on the previous teleportation array, which even Wenxian found quite amazing.

However, at that very moment, the surrounding space began to spin wildly, making it impossible to discern any direction.

This is what the naked eye can see. What cannot be seen is that all the rules of space instantly become distorted and disordered, and even shattered!

"Huh?" Qu Jianlei abruptly stopped activating the array plate, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. "A chaotic sequence spatial array?"

He had encountered spatial traps more than once or twice, so he wasn't particularly concerned about them.

However, there are still some differences between spatial traps and spatial arrays.

The former merely triggers and utilizes certain characteristics of space to achieve its purpose, while the latter has a completely closed-loop array-based approach.

Chaotic sequences are usually just a characteristic of spatial traps; to make them controllable and closed-loop... that's something only a Grand Prince could pull off.

Qu Jianlei and the other two felt as if they had instantly fallen into a large, chaotic space, where not only was the energy raging, but they also had no way of knowing which way to go.

“This is really…” Jin Ge shook his head speechlessly, raised his hand, and released a large amount of gold foil to protect the three of them in the center.

"Be careful, the space around us isn't very big, or you'll become a laughing stock."

The area where they fought was an open space between the four camps, a distance of only a few million kilometers.

The spatial array they were trapped in felt to be more than a billion kilometers away, let alone tens of millions of kilometers.

This is the effect of the formation, which goes without saying, but the key issue is that there are quite a few people watching from the sidelines.

If the opponent's formation is one-way transparent... actually, this is quite common, and those three have already been put on display.

"They have formations, don't we?" Qu Jianlei sneered, took out a formation plate and threw it out, then threw out three more.

The four array plates, not to mention the many others, together form a powerful array that can at least shield a Nascent Soul True Venerable from prying eyes... even divine sense cannot penetrate it.

It has no other function; its sole purpose is to prevent people from spying on it. But precisely because of its simplicity, it is effective.

However, activating these four array plates within the space would be impossible even for a Nascent Soul cultivator... the violent energy would tear the array plates apart.

In other words, when the True Venerable intervenes, the array plate can be effectively protected while simultaneously activating it.

Just as they expected, what the cultivators from the three realms outside saw was a violent energy fluctuation.

Following this fluctuation, the three Venerable Masters of Great Virtue were swept into a small space.

This space feels very strange to everyone. It's very close, yet there's an indescribable barrier between us, making it feel unreachable.

The three True Venerables were like... three insects trapped inside a huge piece of amber.

“Fellow Daoists, do not panic,” a divine sense transmitted, “They have been trapped by the Hunyuan Tiandu Grand Formation.”

"This was done by the Great Khan. Even if there is a violent reaction, it is impossible for it to affect everyone."

"The Heavenly Capital Formation..." A True Venerable had indeed heard of it, and upon hearing this, he couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment, "Isn't that the ancient Demon-Slaying Formation?"

Actually, this person didn't dare to say much, but daring to name it "Tiandu" means that this great formation is actually comparable to the Heavenly Dao.

This statement is a bit far-fetched, but without a doubt, anyone who dares to discuss things on par with the Way of Heaven is extraordinary.

Some insightful people even asked, "The Primordial Heavenly Capital... wouldn't that mean the space is unstable?"

"It's not that it's unstable, it's just that the fluctuations have moved to another dimension," the divine consciousness replied, "so it won't affect anyone."

The True Venerable who possesses all things could not hold back any longer, "Since that's the case, why don't you show yourself, fellow Daoist?"

"We need to control the formation," the divine sense replied arrogantly, "and in a while we'll go in and capture the three of them... Hmm?"

The crowd could vaguely see that among the three figures, another one suddenly appeared, making it roughly four people.

However, just as everyone was about to take a closer look, a thick fog rose inside the amber, obscuring everyone's senses.

"This is..." This sudden change really piqued the curiosity of those watching the spectacle from outside.

Gossip is human nature, and even the most enlightened are not immune to it. And originally, no one disliked this detached way of observing.

"Is it an array formation?" Admittedly, there are quite a few discerning people. "But it doesn't feel like Wen Xian's!"

Suddenly appearing was True Venerable Xiwu, who had been released from her cave by Han Li.

Being trapped inside the enemy's formation, time was of the essence. After releasing the person, Han Li quickly asked, "Check if there are any illusions?"

Fortunately, although Yugiri was inside the cave, she was not completely unaware of the outside world and skipped the adaptation period.

The cold and beautiful True Venerable swept her gaze across the room, her eyes carrying an indescribable charm, before decisively replying, "It's not an illusion."

She then added, "However, there are too many gaps, so it must be connected to other dimensions... Is this misty array ours?"

No True Venerable should be underestimated. Even though she didn't show any skill in array formations before, she could see the general situation at a glance.

"You're focusing on the wrong thing!" Qu Jianlei scoffed. "Hmm, are you sure there's no illusion?"

He was a little confused as to why Han Li had secretly brought such a person along—was it appropriate for a female cultivator to participate in such a matter?

Even if you two are a little... well, once you're done with things, there's nowhere else to be lovey-dovey, why come to the battlefield?
“Confirmed,” True Venerable Xiwu answered without hesitation, “Since the Misty Array is ours, I’ll add a little more!”

"Huh?" Qu Jianlei looked at her in astonishment upon hearing this, thinking to himself, "Your array formation skills are also this high?"

"Hurry up and cast your illusion spell," Han Li glanced at Qu Zhenzun intentionally or unintentionally, thinking to himself, "Maybe I brought a useless person with me?"
Xiwu raised her hand and formed a hand seal, instantly making the misty aura much denser. At the same time, she asked about the output node of the misty array.

She wasn't particularly skilled in formations, but the current formation was perfect for her to utilize her strengths.

Yugiri's questions weren't particularly profound, but they all hit the nail on the head.

She asked quickly, and Qu Jianlei answered even faster, inwardly surprised: This person can actually... cooperate like this?
To the cultivators watching from the outside, in a short period of time, this unusual space turned into a hazy gray.

Some people couldn't help but exclaim, "As expected of the Heavenly Capital Formation!"

Strangely, this time, the mysterious divine sense did not reappear.

Meanwhile, the four True Venerables in the formation were not so idle.

Jin Ge and Han Li were on guard while observing their surroundings, while Qu Jianlei and Xi Wu were discussing their formation.

The misty array was too pure; it could only obscure perception, but could not withstand the violent energy of the Heavenly Capital Array.

The four True Venerables all possessed formidable defensive capabilities, but it was uncertain how long it would take to break through this great formation, or what changes it would bring.
At this point, it would be foolish to fight head-on; even a temporary defensive formation should be set up.

However, given Qu Jianlei's mastery of array formations, he wouldn't be content with just building a fixed defensive array.

Not only must it be able to counterattack, but it must also be mobile. To avoid being observed, it needs the cooperation of Yugiri.
