Stealing the Heavens.

Chapter 129 The Army of 100,000 Cultivators
At the order of Palace Master Jixuan, an army of 100,000 cultivators immediately rushed towards Donglai Pavilion, with Palace Master Xing Fei of Tianfang Temple personally leading the team.

Although not all of the 100,000 cultivators were supreme experts, most of them were at the Integration Realm or the Void Breaking Realm.

Legend has it that the continent was the dwelling place of immortals and gods, with countless heavenly palaces and immortals and gods everywhere.

However, over the long years, fewer and fewer people ascended to immortality, and the lineage of immortals and gods was severed.

Only the descendants of immortals, gods, and ascendants remained in the Central Continent, their cultivation levels varying greatly, and the Heavenly Palace was destroyed along with them.

Until new ascendants appeared, developed new cultivation methods, and rebuilt celestial palaces and temples on auspicious clouds.

However, ascended beings are few and far between, and a large number of cultivators are still needed to build up a power.

Although the source energy in the Central Continent is abundant, it is not suitable for low-level cultivators, and the descendants of immortals and gods progress slowly.

Many people stop at the Void Breaking Realm and cannot become Supreme Powerhouses, but they still become the backbone of various forces.

Palace Master Xing Fei led an army of 100,000 cultivators to completely surround Wuwei Peak, launching a frenzied attack on the golden light from all directions.

Taoist cultivators are proficient in array formations, and although they have joined the forces of the demon, monster, and witch races, they have not fully passed on their knowledge to them.

Because array formations are the greatest reliance of Taoist cultivators and their greatest asset for establishing themselves in the Central Continent.

Moreover, for cultivators of the demon, monster, and witch races who lack a foundation, learning array formations is even more difficult than cultivation itself.

Moreover, Taoist cultivators are already completely controlled by these major powers in the Central Continent, so why should demon and witch cultivators bother to study array formations?

Palace Master Xing Fei instructed the Daoist cultivators to act as nodes, and 100,000 cultivators formed a simple ten-sided attack formation to bombard the golden light.

There were over a thousand Supreme Realm cultivators, more than twenty thousand Void Breaking Realm cultivators, and the rest were Star Refining Realm and Body Integration Realm cultivators.

With the Taoist cultivators acting as nodes, the true energy was doubled and bombarded the golden light, as if flooding Jinshan Temple.

If Zi Dong were only controlling the righteous energy, he really wouldn't be able to withstand the onslaught of an army of 100,000 cultivators.

It was all because of the existence of the Heavenly Fortune Dao Disc that he was able to fully control the Righteous Qi and allow it to spread continuously.

The attack formation of a hundred thousand cultivators was like children playing house in front of the Heavenly Fortune Dao Disc.

Zi Dong first rapidly contracted the golden light, and after the army of 100,000 cultivators had charged for a while, he suddenly expanded it again.

The army of 100,000 cultivators thought they had repelled the golden light, but they did not expect that the golden light still had the power to spread, instantly covering nearly half of them.

Zi Dong's goal was clear: to direct the Donglai Pavilion cultivators, who had merged with the golden light, to head straight for the Daoist cultivators who served as nodes.

The power of the chessboard is that every piece is incredibly strong, while anyone who intrudes on it is nothing more than an ant!
The Heavenly Fortune Board, in particular, is even more powerful as a chessboard, with each square forming a trap.

With the help of the golden light, the four chess pieces not only leveled up, but their combat power also skyrocketed.

Nearly 50,000 cultivators from various factions were completely divided up, like lambs to the slaughter, and were quickly captured one by one.

Palace Master Xing Fei reacted swiftly, ordering the cultivators who were not enveloped by the golden light to attack it relentlessly.

But the golden light began to breathe again like the tide, and as the army of cultivators attacked, it began to contract. Just as it stopped to catch its breath, it began to expand again.

After several such incidents, many more cultivators were enveloped in the golden light, and none of those who had been trapped before were rescued.

Palace Master Xing Fei decisively ordered a retreat; if they continued to entangle themselves, the remaining cultivators would all be swallowed by the golden light.

After discussing with everyone, Palace Master Jixuan decided to let Elder Mo Cheng continue negotiating with Donglai Pavilion while secretly carrying out the decapitation operation.

Zi Dong is the representative of the Eastern Dao Ancestor. Only he can control the righteous energy, so let's assassinate him! Palace Master Bai Jie volunteered, and Phoenix Immortal Palace was responsible for the assassination mission because the demon race can transform.

The two elders of the Phoenix Palace transformed into vines and birds, one from underground and the other from the air, and together they entered the golden light.

Zi Dong's cultivation level was too low after all. Even with the help of the Heavenly Fortune Dao Disc, his divine sense was only close to the Supreme Realm, and he could not easily detect the two demon clan elders.

However, Donglai Pavilion is heavily guarded and has many experts, so even if Palace Master Bai Jie were to come in person, she would not be able to enter easily.

This requires Elder Mo's cooperation, insisting on negotiating with Zi Dong and leading him to the foot of Wuwei Peak.

The two elders of Phoenix Immortal Palace were full of confidence. As long as they got close to Zi Dong and Elder Mo Cheng restrained Wuwei Immortal Venerable, they could kill Zi Dong in one fell swoop, or even capture him and take him back.

This is all because Palace Master Xing Fei asserted that the avatar of the Eastern Dao Ancestor was merely a remnant soul and could not stop them at all.

Although Wuwei Peak was completely shrouded in golden light, there were still many plants and animals among them, and the two elders of Phoenix Immortal Palace were not easily detected.

However, when the vines and birds approached Zi Dong, Wuwei Immortal Venerable did not notice them, but Zi Dong immediately did.

Donglai Ziqi was not idle; his current task was to protect Zidong from being ambushed by the enemy.

Just as the two elders of the Phoenix Immortal Palace were about to make a move, purple mist surged from Zi Dong's body, transforming into two large fists.

"Bang, bang, bang!" The purple aura from the east smashed wildly, directly knocking the two elders of the Phoenix Immortal Palace back to their original forms.

"Elder Mo Cheng, is this the sincerity of the Heavenly God Alliance?!" Immortal Venerable Wuwei was furious, pointing at Elder Mo Cheng's nose and shouting angrily.

"Immortal Venerable Wuwei, this is merely an unauthorized action by the Phoenix Immortal Palace and has nothing to do with the Heavenly God Alliance!"

Elder Mo quickly blocked Immortal Venerable Wuwei, explaining himself while covering the escape of the two Phoenix Immortal Palace elders.

The purple aura from the east was indeed unable to kill the two elders of the Phoenix Immortal Palace, both of whom were seventh-rank supreme experts.

However, experts from Donglai Pavilion are on their way to provide support, and Zi Dong has also mobilized golden light to envelop Elder Mo Cheng and the two elders from Phoenix Immortal Palace.

Immortal Venerable Wuwei did not act immediately. Capturing the two elders of Phoenix Immortal Palace was meaningless; what he needed was leverage.

Phoenix Immortal Palace's assassination attempt on Zi Dong failed, and Palace Master Ji Xuan will definitely make Palace Master Bai Jie bear all the consequences.

The three major powers will inevitably have to make concessions to Donglai Pavilion, otherwise they will be unable to explain themselves to the other powers in the Central Continent.

In the Central Plains, such assassinations are highly taboo, and if discovered, the perpetrators will be attacked by the entire community.

Elder Mo Cheng slunk back to the Wuji Immortal Palace, where Palace Master Ji Xuan was furiously beating Palace Master Bai Jie.

"Palace Master Jixuan, this matter cannot be entirely blamed on Palace Master Baijie. It's just that Zidong has too many tricks up his sleeve!"

Palace Master Xing Fei quickly explained on behalf of Palace Master Bai Jie that the Tianfang Divine Palace must join forces with the Phoenix Immortal Palace, otherwise the Wuji Immortal Palace would become the sole dominant force.

"Palace Master Xing Fei, continue to surround Wuwei Peak!" Palace Master Ji Xuan glared at Palace Master Bai Jie before giving the order.

He naturally couldn't do anything to the Phoenix Immortal Palace, but he warned Palace Master Bai Jie not to get too close to the Heavenly Temple, as the Wuji Immortal Palace was still the dominant force in the Central Continent.

"Elder Mo Cheng, grant permission for Donglai Pavilion to build a celestial palace, grant permission for Donglai Pavilion to join the Heavenly God Alliance, and grant permission for Donglai Pavilion to enter Zhongtian Peak."

Everyone was taken aback, then nodded in understanding. Elder Mo immediately turned and left to inform Donglai Pavilion.

Palace Master Jixuan's plan is an open scheme. Once Zidong goes to Zhongtian Peak, the golden light will be unable to protect Wuwei Peak, and Donglai Pavilion will be at his mercy!
