Immortality and Cultivation: This old man seeks enlightenment through mere survival.

On the other side, an inconspicuous Qi Refining cultivator mingled on the east city wall.

The beast tide attack on the east city wall was much weaker than that on the west wall.

Most of the monsters here are first-tier demonic beasts charging into the formation.

The Qi Refining cultivator looked around at the array on the city wall with a calm expression.

"This is the weakest point in the formation. With my abilities, I should be able to create a small opening..."

That's right, this Qi Refining cultivator was actually Lu Zaian in his true form.

The entire desolate city is now shrouded in the Myriad Manifestations Divine Glow Array.

The third-tier array automatically distinguishes friend from foe, and the barrier prevents any cultivator from leaving the city.

Lu Zaian's first plan was to use a clone to replace his original body, thus escaping unscathed.

Everything is going well so far.

The original second plan was to deceive everyone.

The Myriad Manifestations Divine Cloud Array has undergone thousands of years of vicissitudes, and many of its entrances are damaged.

No third-tier array master has emerged from Huangze City in all these years.

Therefore, it is also impossible to carry out major repairs on the Myriad Manifestations Divine Cloud Array.

Therefore, Lu Zaian's original plan was to secretly lay down methods at various array gates and gradually infiltrate the entire array.

Once his own formation level gradually increases, he will eventually achieve the goal of secretly controlling the entire Myriad Manifestations Divine Glow Formation...

As for why?

It can only be said that a damn sense of insecurity is at play.

Wasteland City is great everywhere; it has resources and spiritual veins...

The only downside is that it doesn't belong to you.

Although Huangze City appears to be neutral, it is actually a one-man show run by the city lord's mansion.

The entire Myriad Manifestations Divine Glow Array is under the control of the City Lord's Mansion.

In special times like now, once the formation is sealed, it can control the personal freedom of everyone in the city.

This made Lu Zaian, who suffers from "persecution complex," very uncomfortable.

I may not need it, but I can't live without it...

As a formation master, Lu Zaian knew all too well how powerful the formation was.

If he manages to infiltrate the formation, as long as he keeps it secret, the control will still remain with the City Lord's faction.

But if Lu Zaian decides, he can seize control at any time...

The third-tier grand formation is both offensive and defensive. Being inside it, one can confidently say that one would not be at a disadvantage even against a Core Formation cultivator like Lu Zaian.

Unfortunately... Lu Zaian's plan had only just begun when it was attacked by a beast tide.

He could only find the weak point in the array he had memorized beforehand and make a quick escape.

Lu Zaian concealed one hand in his sleeve, quietly sketching array patterns, and then silently launched them into the array on the city wall.

New and old array patterns merge and intertwine...

Before long, the array patterns on the city wall became disordered, exploding into a dazzling light like fireworks.

A narrow slit appeared and disappeared on the array barrier.

"It's now!"

Without hesitation, Lu Zaian burned his life essence and used the Blood Burning Escape technique.

At the same time, he used the [Spirit Crane Demon] to simulate his aura as a flying crane demon beast.

call out!

In an instant, Lu Zaian's figure flew out from the gap!

Out!

The beast tide outside consisted of first-tier demonic beasts, and Lu Zaian's aura was hidden among them, so no one noticed him.

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the horizon against the direction of the beast tide...

"Hiss... Am I seeing things? Did a small black dot just disappear in an instant?"

"What black spots? I think you're just tired of cutting..."

There was a group of Qi Refining cultivators on the city wall, and even with their strength, they didn't realize what was happening.

Moreover, Lu Zaian had already used a concealment technique beforehand...

It happened at almost the same time.

The central location of the inner city formation.

The room contains a miniature model of the desolate city.

It was clear that a colorful barrier, like an inverted bowl, enveloped the entire desolate city.

Three array masters surrounded the area, flicking their fingers to create countless array patterns, controlling the entire Myriad Manifestations Divine Glow Array.

The three of them were formation masters trained by the city of Huangze.

One second-tier superior grade, and two second-tier mid-grade grades.

"Elder Fan, what exactly does the Grand Elder want us to do by reducing the frequency of the formation's operation?"

One of the array masters asked in confusion as he operated the array.

"...Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask, just do your own thing."

The old array master next to him, who looked very respected, interrupted him.

"Okay... wait a minute, it seems like there's a problem with the circuit of the number 29 array gate in the East Seventh Section?"

Suddenly, the array master's expression changed, and he quickly gave a reminder.

"What! Let me see!"

Old Fan was filled with doubt and surprise. He made a gesture with his finger, and the entire array model rotated. Then he used his divine sense to probe that area.

"Phew, thankfully it was just a momentary problem of spiritual energy reversal, and the gap can repair itself in the blink of an eye."

"Elder Fan truly lives up to his reputation as a second-tier high-grade array master; he identified the problem so quickly!"

The array master was extremely surprised.

At this moment, another formation master spoke up:

"Fellow Daoist Wang, you haven't been at the advanced level for long, so you may not know. This array gate isn't a core node; it's been in disrepair for years, so it's a long-standing problem. As long as it doesn't affect the overall situation, it's fine..."

"I see." The man breathed a sigh of relief.

The art of formations is incredibly complex, and destroying them is far easier than building them.

Some key nodes have far-reaching consequences, affecting the entire system.

Just like a whole egg with cracks, it will shatter completely with a gentle squeeze!

Thankfully, that wasn't the problem I was looking for.

Otherwise, they would all be to blame.

However, what none of the three knew was that a Foundation Establishment cultivator had flown away right under their noses...

"Roar!!"

A piercing wail rang out, stabbing into the eardrums!

boom--! !

Then came the sound of a huge object crashing to the ground.

Suddenly, sand and stones flew everywhere, and the earth shook...

"Dead! This old tortoise is really dead!!"

"That's too brutal! This cultivator actually used his fists and palms to kill a second-tier tortoise king!"

"That's the Blue-backed Turtle, known for its unparalleled defense among its peers... Good heavens... Who's the real monster here?"

On the western section of the city wall, a group of low-level cultivators looked at a proud figure beside them with awe.

The figure stood proudly atop the city wall, his fists stained with blood, his knuckles covered in wounds, with bones even visible!

However, his momentum was like a surging rainbow, and his undiminished fighting spirit stirred the hearts of everyone present.

Just a quarter of an hour ago, they were secretly criticizing this figure.

However, a quarter of an hour later, they all became filled with awe and worship!

Because, in just a quarter of an hour.

This cultivator then unleashed over a thousand punches with his fists and palms!

It blasted a powerfully defended tortoise king to death.

The Blue-backed Turtle King's shell has extremely strong defense; ordinary spells hitting it are merely tickling.

However, this cultivator completely ignored the defensive and shock-absorbing power of his blue back armor.

Using absolute brute force to strike the turtle from a distance, he blasted the old turtle's body inside into a pile of mud!

"What are you talking about, seven turtles and eight turtles? They can't even take a beating."

Lu Zaian shook the blood off his fist and grinned.
