Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 587 - Defensive Grand Formation
"I advise you not to follow us, or else you might lose your lives at any moment."
Ji Huo'er looked at Second Elder and Liu Huang with a serious expression, her eyes full of earnestness.
"Courting death yet still speaking so confidently."
"The Flame Phoenix Holy Sect is serious this time, they can't escape anymore."

Many cultivators in the distance were discussing animatedly.
Qinchuan no longer paid attention to the crowd and headed towards the interior of Little Spirit Mountain.
"Huo'er, let's go. Even if they had ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare to act recklessly inside Little Spirit Mountain."
"Benefactor, please wait."
Before Qinchuan could step through the threshold of Little Spirit Mountain, Ling Xu stopped him.
"Benefactor, the entrance to the world of Little Spirit Mountain has already been closed, and the inner world is no longer open to the outside."
Ling Xu radiated a holy Buddhist light, like a true Buddha.
"Hmm?"
"The entrance to the inner world of Little Spirit Mountain is closed? When did this happen? What happened inside?"
Qinchuan was puzzled.
He recalled some past events.
Years ago, before he had begun the cycle of reincarnation cultivation, he had visited the Western Sect in the Upper Realm several times to save Luo Ling'er and had even assisted them to solve an internal crisis, forming an indissoluble bond with the Buddha of that time.
He knew that both the Great Spirit Mountain in the Upper Realm and Little Spirit Mountain in the Lower Realm had indeed established a supreme defensive formation.
Once this formation was closed, without using the correct method to bypass it, the outside world could not break into it, and the passage connecting the inside and outside would be sealed.
If what Ling Xu said was true, something troublesome must have happened within Little Spirit Mountain to trigger the defensive formation.
In his memory, in the last two million years, the world of Little Spirit Mountain had only been closed and the Defensive Grand Formation activated once during a catastrophic crisis, and never again.
But even during that crisis, the defense formation of both the Great and Little Spirit Mountains was only activated for ten years.
Yet this time, the Defensive Grand Formation of Little Spirit Mountain has been closed for eighty thousand years?
"Hmph, Qin Li, you don't think you can still enter the inner world of Little Spirit Mountain, do you?"
Second Elder's face revealed a cold smile.
"Where did these guys come from? They know about Little Spirit Mountain but are unaware that its inner world has been closed?"
Many cultivators in the distance also showed looks of surprise, seemingly amazed that Qinchuan and his companions didn't know about the closure of Little Spirit Mountain's inner world.
This was long not a secret in Flame Phoenix City, even ordinary people who had not embarked on cultivation were aware of it.
"This has been the case for eighty thousand years."
Ling Xu brought his hands together in a gesture of prayer and answered, "Eighty thousand years ago, one day, a hazy black fog suddenly emerged from the barrier passage of Little Spirit Mountain's inner world. That fog seemed to come from the Underworld, turbulent and surging, assaulting the barrier, trying to break through it.
Afterwards, the inner world sealed itself off and could no longer be opened.
This barrier closed off contact with the outside world, and I can no longer even get in touch with the True Body inside Little Spirit Mountain.
As for what happened inside, naturally, I have no way of knowing."
"Again, eighty thousand years ago!"
In both the Upper and Lower Realms, events occurred eighty thousand years ago that affected the order of heaven and earth.

Qinchuan pondered, his eyebrows raising as he said, "Since that's the case, this young master shall have to take a closer look."
He had a feeling that things were not as simple as they seemed.
Having said that, Qinchuan ignored the kind advice of Ling'er and headed straight toward the temple.
As Qinchuan was determined to enter the temple, Ling'er no longer tried to stop him.
"The lad has gone in, what do we do now?"
Watching Qinchuan enter the temple, the Second Elder turned to Liu Huang and asked.
"The Barrier to the inner world of Xiaoling Mountain is sealed; these fellows can only stay within this temple.
Quickly summon the remaining elders and lay down the Tian Lou web here, trap them to death in this temple if need be."
"Right!" The Second Elder squeezed a divine bird in his hand, whispered a few words into its ear, and then the divine bird flew away into the distance.
Afterwards, Liu Huang and the Second Elder also followed into the temple.
The remaining Great Saints and Holy Cultivators did not hesitate and followed suit.
The temple didn't look very large from the outside, but inside was a Sumeru Space, with the temple's space a thousand zhang in both length and width.
However, within this vast space, it was incredibly empty with no buildings or furniture.
In the exact center of the space, there was a Hexagram Formation flickering with golden light.
At the center of the Formation, there was a large "卍" symbol, and around the Formation, there were countless Buddhist symbols also shining with golden light.
The entire Great Formation was profoundly mysterious, and most Cultivators who glanced at it even once fell into it, influenced by the terrifying power of the Buddhist runes.
"It truly is the Defensive Grand Formation of Xiaoling Mountain."
Qinchuan stood solemnly; he had seen this Formation activated before and naturally recognized it.
"Esteemed patron, you actually know of our Xiaoling Mountain Defensive Grand Formation?" Ling'er was taken aback, for he had only mentioned that the passageway was closed and had not said it was due to the activation of the Xiaoling Mountain Defensive Grand Formation.
"Naturally, I recognize it," Qinchuan said indifferently. "I not only recognize this Formation, but I also know how to enter it."
Ling'er was surprised, then smiled and shook his head, saying, "The patron jests. Once the Defensive Grand Formation is activated, if one doesn't have the correct array access spell, no one can open the passageway.
In all of Nanchi Continent, only my True Body knows how to enter, even I cannot."
"So, it's the activation of the Defensive Formation!" The many Cultivators in the distance came to a realization; they had long known that it was impossible to enter the inner world of Xiaoling Mountain but had not known the real reason.
Qinchuan gave a small smile, said nothing, and walked directly towards the center of the Hexagram Formation.
"What does this kid think he's doing? Does he really dream of opening the passageway?"
Behind him, the watchful Cultivators discussed loudly.
"How could it be possible? Haven't you heard what Elder Ling'er said? In this world, only his True Body can open the passageway, even now he cannot enter," a Cultivator said with a frown.
"He's probably just clutching at straws. It won't be long before the people from Flame Phoenix Holy Land surround this place. Their only way out is to enter the Xiaoling Mountain's inner world, then escape through another exit.
With their only way blocked, they naturally won't give up so easily," another Cultivator said mockingly.
Liu Huang and the Second Elder watched with cold eyes. In addition to monitoring Ye Xuanji's every move to prevent a sudden escape, they also quietly examined the mysterious Formation at the center.
However, they realized that this Defensive Formation was extremely intricate and beyond their limits to comprehend; they could not see through it.
Qinchuan arrived at the center of the Hexagram Formation, sat down with his hands together in front of his chest.
"Hmph, putting on airs. Let's see how long you can stall for time," Liu Huang said coldly.
