Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 712 - 318, Six Saints of Great Jin, their fame echoes throughout Shenzhou
New Yu Era 1326, April 1st
North of the River, Cangyuan Mountain
Shenzhou's three great mountains, ranked by size, are the thousand-li Cangling, nine hundred-li Cangyuan, and eight hundred-li Moyun Mountain. The exact lengths of these mountain ranges are, of course, not as precise, but their characteristics can be roughly determined from their names.
Cangling is named for its height, Cangyuan for its breadth, and Moyun for its length!
There are eight provinces North of the River, and Cangyuan Mountain serves as the boundary between the eastern second province and the western sixth province. One can imagine the vastness of the mountain from its ability to serve as the border for eight provinces.
From the distant sky, Cangyuan Mountain looks like a round disc, lying horizontally upon the land North of the River, with countless peaks and mountains, some obscured by clouds and mist, some towering high into the clouds, and others winding and spiraling, forming dragons and serpents within the disc…
It's a pity that such a beautiful scene can't be appreciated by everyone; at least those with a Cultivation level above the Yuan Dan Realm would need to fly above the clouds to witness it, and that's still assuming they don't encounter any powerful demons.
Of course, that's also when Cangyuan Mountain is tranquil.
At this moment, the thousand-li wide disc of Cangyuan Mountain is bound by a colossal hexagram Array, which enshrouds the entire mountain range, leaving not a single dead angle uncovered.
The Array is formed from dense prohibitory golden lines, like a net of heaven and earth covering the entire range. If Hou Yuxiao were here at this moment, he would realize that the source of Shenzhou's shaking lies here.
Cangyuan Mountain is like a living entity, silent, yet with the entire range heaving up and collapsing down with the restrictions of the Array, rising and falling in one area one second and shifting to another the next, its locations constantly changing.
It's like…
It's like a long worm underground being chased by the Array.
"Six Desires Heaven Locking Formation, Tai Xi this time is really going to be defeated here!"
"Zhuge Yuan controls life, Yuwen Hongzhang controls death, Yuwen Dongdu controls speech, Helian Ba controls hearing, Wanyan Cheng controls smell, Tuoba Zun controls sight. The Six Saints of Great Jin join hands, using the six desires of living beings as a leverage, locking the heavens and sealing the earth. Even if Tai Xi's body is now immortal, I fear he will find it difficult to escape being slaughtered."
"Last time Great Jin broke through the divine capital, didn't they also deploy this Array? In the end, the three great Demon Ancestors still managed to flee smoothly. I don't believe they can kill Tai Xi this time either."
"You all know that last time it was the breaking of the divine capital. Those six from Great Jin had already expended a lot of energy dealing with Great Yu's resistance, how could they have any leftover strength? Moreover, it was three great Demon Ancestors coming out together, escaping is as normal as it gets.
This time it's different, it's just Tai Xi alone, and his strength hasn't fully recovered yet. The Six Saints were able to come directly to Cangyuan Mountain because Great Jin had received an early warning. The Six Saints are now at their peak, and regarding Zhuge Yuan's Array, you couldn't find a stronger one in Shenzhou's history even if you searched!"
"Great Jin obtained the news in advance, this..."
Voices of several people discussing could be heard from the sky, the last voice filled with surprise and suspicion, as if the speaker realized something yet found it somewhat unbelievable.
"Did you think Tai Xi, Long Yu, and Ni Han, those three great demons, are a solid alliance? They have just awakened, their strength hasn't fully recovered, under Great Jin's relentless pursuit, the other two, to earn enough breathing time, joined hands and betrayed Tai Xi, it's quite normal!"
...
"You five seem so spirited, do you wish to join forces with Great Jin to slay demons?"
An overtly dominant voice came from within the Array, promptly dispelling the clouds and revealing five distinct figures behind it.
The five people stood in a circle, with no distinct front or back. The person on the extreme left was clad in a golden-yellow Taoist robe, his face old but not decaying, with a purple Taoist aura lingering around him.
The second and third on the left, both elders wearing white Confucian robes, exuded a pure Righteous Qi of Confucianism. Even though they looked different, their demeanors were remarkably similar, both with expressions of unwavering righteousness and certainty.
The fourth was a corpulent yet not bloated monk sitting on a Lotus Platform. His earlobes were two to three times longer than an average person's. His left hand rested casually on his left knee while the right was in a forward vertical palm position; around him circulated a halo of Zen light, with an aura of compassion towards the world emanating from his being.
The last elder was hard to put into words; he was draped in an exceedingly ordinary white robe, his face expressionless, his features mundane. Yet, standing there, he resembled an extraordinary sword, so dazzling that it was impossible to ignore. The Sword Intent around his body was so intense that surplus Sword Qi would occasionally shoot out, tearing through the space and vanishing into the endless void.
Realizing their figures were revealed as the clouds dispersed, all five showed clear signs of displeasure on their faces.
Behind the clouds, a middle-aged man dressed in a black and gold Imperial Robe made his steady approach, each step firm as if stepping on hearts rather than air. Arriving before the five, he stopped and looked at them:
"Zhang Daoling, Xun Mu, Meng Qu, Shi Tian, Jing Yuanxiu, all five Holy Land leaders are present. Could it be that you genuinely wish to assist Great Jin in demon extermination?"
"Yuwen Dongdu, you jest. The Six Saints of Great Jin are invincible; a mere Tai Xi is easily captured. My old bones are surely not needed here!"
"This Six Desires Heaven Locking Array is unrivaled in Shenzhou. Why does Brother Dongdu seek to make light of us..."
...
Yuwen Dongdu was about to address the five when he suddenly sensed something, swiftly turning his head to look behind him, his demeanor becoming extremely respectful.
