Mysterious mirror hanging high

"You also sense something's wrong?"

Zhang Qingmang paused his attack and said in a serious tone, "This is really strange. According to our speculation, Song Jianxu should have at least one or two years left to live. Since the people on the island who have reached the Jindan stage have already perfected their cultivation, why doesn't Song Jianxu protect them until they reach the Jindan stage before they reach the Ying stage?"

"With a late Jindan-stage Great Immortal presiding over the formation, we would need to deploy at least two or three times our current combat power to shake it. If that were the case, Xingluo Island would truly be impregnable. How could it be in such danger today?"

"Why can't you wait even a few days? Why do you have to have a baby at this critical moment?"

Ruan Da sneered, "Isn't this hard to speculate? Guachou Mountain is only a Jindan Daochang. The spiritual energy here is already stretched to the limit for cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage. If we allow the younger generation to form Dan, then for at least a long time, the spiritual energy of Guachou Mountain will not be suitable for cultivators above the Jindan stage to break through to a higher realm!"

"Old Ghost Song is trying to get his hands on the Nascent Soul Realm. Naturally, he won't sit idly by and watch his juniors break through and disrupt the spiritual energy here. He's too much of a gambler. He doesn't want to take the safe path of the Jindan Realm for his juniors, but instead wants to take a big gamble!"

Zhang Qingmang's expression eased slightly, and he nodded: "Perhaps it is true..."

But Wang Fujia beside her suddenly changed his expression and said angrily:

"No! It's true that a cultivator's Dan-forming in the Jindan Daochang will temporarily disrupt the spiritual energy here, but wouldn't the more powerful Nascent Soul Formation also disrupt the spiritual energy here?"

"It's clearly a sign of a failed infant formation. If Song Jianxu really failed and died, even with a first-level magical weapon that can calm his spiritual energy, it shouldn't have had no effect at all! Why is this person forming a pill so smoothly? The spiritual cloud has now spread over dozens of miles..."

"Unless the previous vision of failing to break through and falling was fake..."

"Song Jianxu is not dead at all! But he is not on Xingluo Island... Where is he?"

Several Jindan Zhenren stopped their attacks at the same time, and the accompanying foundation-building cultivators looked at each other and most of them stopped their magic. For a moment, everyone around the outer formation of Xingluo Island fell into a strange calm.

"Report!"

At this moment, a Foundation Establishment cultivator hurriedly flew over and said with a bow, "Masters, we just received an urgent report from the southeast. Spiritual clouds are gathering in the direction of the Yuhua Cave in the Changhu Sect Islands. Judging from the size, it seems that a cultivator is forming a fetus!"

Zhang Qingmang frowned and said, "Where in the Changhu Sect is there a Great True Person in the late Jindan stage now? That False Infant True Person who's in retreat has already formed an Infant, so it can't be him... Besides, although the [Yuhua Cave] is rich in spiritual energy, it's a Yin acupoint after all. The Yin and Dark Qi is too dense, and it's not suitable for a non-Ghost Dao cultivator to form an Infant."

Wang Fujia seemed to be vaguely aware of something, and he used his golden elixir power to transform into a large hand, grabbing the foundation-building cultivator with a horrified look on his face:

"What's the situation there now? Has any spiritual root phenomenon appeared?"

The foundation-building cultivator stammered, "It seems like a patch of green bamboo is faintly visible..."

"what?!"

All the Jindan cultivators were shocked. Wang Fujia laughed in anger: "Great! What a great plan to openly repair the plank road while secretly attacking Chencang!"

"The person from Guachou Mountain who has formed a pill is just a pretext to attract us. I, Song Jianxu, have been secretly preparing for the formation of an infant in the [Yuhua Cave]!"

"If the Yin acupoint is used to form a fetus, and the Yin and Ming Qi enters the body too much, even if the fetus is formed successfully, the Nascent Soul will turn into a ghost baby! How dare he do that?" Wang Fujia said in disbelief.

"Wealth and honor are sought in danger. Although that place is a Yin cave, it is also a genuine spiritual energy training ground at the Nascent Soul stage... The Feng family can't lend [Tingfeng Cliff] to help cultivators from other families form their Nascent Souls. So, isn't this the only option left, where spiritual energy can be used together, but the side effects are extremely serious?"

Zhang Qingmang said coldly: "After all, I underestimated this old guy..."

"What are you doing standing still!"

Wang Fujia was horrified. "Why don't you hurry to [Yuhua Cave] to stop Song Jianxu from forming a fetus? Normally, without the help of a special ancient formation, it would take at least six or seven days to form a fetus. Formations that can compress the formation time to a cup of tea are almost only possessed by the Huashen Sect or some forces with a late-stage Yuanying Great True Lord. Not even the Feng family in the Red Dust Sea has it. There's still time!"

"But what about Xingluo Island?" The eldest of the three Ruan brothers was reluctant, and Ruan Er hesitated first, saying, "Are we just going to sit back and watch this person form his elixir?"

"You are confused! Even if this person succeeds in forming a golden elixir, he is just an early stage golden elixir cultivator, which is irrelevant to the overall situation. But if Song Jianxu succeeds in forming an infant, we will all be dead!" Wang Fujia stomped his feet.

"But Song Jianxu's chance of forming an infant is very slim, but this person's forming a pill is almost certain..." Zhang Qingmang held the magic sword, squinted his eyes and said slowly.

"Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, we can't gamble!" Wang Fujia gritted his teeth and said, "The Feng family prides themselves on being righteous. I'm afraid Feng Qijie won't stop Song Jianxu from forming a fetus... Let's move immediately!"

"Everyone evacuate? Why don't the three of us brothers continue to attack the formation here..." After all, the three Ruan brothers were still reluctant to leave the Song family's treasure, Ruan Da hesitated.

"How can the three of you break through the Jindan formation presided over by a Jindan cultivator? Besides, Song Jianxu chose to form his infant within the sphere of influence of the Changhu Sect. I'm afraid he has been secretly colluding with the fake infant master of the Changhu Sect. Only if we come out in full force can we have the capital to put pressure on the fake infant sect of the Changhu Sect..." Wang Fujia said angrily.

"Never mind. This place is about three days' journey from [Yuhua Cave]. Let's go there as soon as possible."

Zhang Qingmang sighed, "We have to arrive at least before Song Jianxu condenses his Nascent Soul and overcomes his inner demon tribulation. Otherwise, even if he hasn't awakened by then, he'll at least be a fake infant..."

Yuhua Cave, underground tomb palace

Song Jianxu stood in front of the coffin in the center of the tomb palace, holding the edge of the coffin, counting with his fingers, and muttered:

"Calculating the time, Xingluo Island should have been under attack for most of the day. I'm afraid the white ape won't be able to hold out for much longer. However, Zhang Qingmang and Wang Fujia should have noticed something was wrong..."

"As long as I create a buzz here about my baby forming, they will naturally give up attacking Xingluo Island and come to stop me from forming a baby..."

"You thought I was [openly repairing the plank road while secretly attacking Chencang], but in fact, I was [luring the tiger away from the mountain]..."

"But this is an open conspiracy. Even if I only have a one in ten thousand chance of successfully forming a fetus, after weighing the pros and cons, I'm not afraid that they won't come."

Song Jianxu then shook his head and laughed, "You haven't even prepared the [Infant Transformation Pill], how can you possibly create an infant?"

The old and unrecognizable Great Immortal trembled as he took out a bamboo divination tube, shook the dozens of divination sticks inside, and cast a divination...

"Today is the day for the birth of a baby..."

"Big evil!"

Song Jianxu chuckled a few times, collected the fortune sticks on the ground, and sat down cross-legged. The golden elixir in his dantian spun wildly. With a "crack", several deep cracks appeared on the golden elixir. Then, the spiritual energy in the underground tomb became violent, and a huge spiritual energy vortex appeared in the sky above the [Yuhua Cave]...
