To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck-Chapter 1517 - 589: Punish Zhang Xiuzhu

Facing the sudden attack of four Earth Immortal True Persons, Changqing Mountain was utterly unprepared and barely held on for less than a quarter of an hour before its defenses were completely shattered.

Over two thousand cultivators stationed in the mountain were swiftly cleaned up by Huang Xuan and his group.

The Human Immortal staying behind didn’t even manage to mount a resistance and was directly killed with a single palm strike.

By the time the battle ended, this mountain had already been completely overtaken.

"Given the urgency of the situation, now that this place has been taken over, I will stay here to guard against other Changqing cultivators who might return to reclaim it.

You three, hurry to support our main body, exterminate Zhang Xiuzhu, lead the army, and come to wrap up the aftermath," Huang Xuan said to the other gathered avatars.

"Understood!"

The other three expressed no objections, nodded, and immediately flew off towards Su Yun Country.

Watching them leave, Huang Xuan turned back to look at the now deserted Changqing Mountain and didn’t idle.

Taking a coffin from the treasury of Changqing Mountain, he gathered some materials and immediately waved his sleeve, creating over a hundred Yellow Turban Strongmen in an instant.

He then instructed, "We must immediately take our formation flags, disperse in all directions, and set up the Ring Star Formation."

Changqing Mountain extended for tens of thousands of miles, and even just the core area was ten thousand miles wide.

Such a vast area couldn’t possibly be covered by Huang Xuan alone.

Nor did he intend to cover it all.

His duty was just to hold out through the night, and then wait for his main body to arrive with the large army, at which point Changqing Mountain would naturally fall completely.

Therefore, he only needed to have some Yellow Turban Strongmen set up some perimeter formations to detect any outsiders entering.

Huang Xuan just needed to stay at the center.

As long as he could determine the direction from which outsiders were entering, he could immediately mobilize to eliminate the intruders.

Naturally, these hastily set up perimeter formations could only contend with some cultivators of lower cultivation.

For instance, those who had not yet achieved immortality would find it hard to evade detection.

However, some True Immortals, or even those powerful cultivators on the verge of becoming immortal with the Five Qi Towards Primordial, if prepared, could easily bypass the formations.

But if only a few people managed to evade the formations, even if they could penetrate deeper into Changqing Mountain, their numbers would be too few to make any significant impact.

Even if they could seize the opportunity to stir some trouble unknown to Huang Xuan, limited by their strength and numbers, the threats posed by such covert actions would be limited.

Thus, he only needed to block the major groups of people, such as the two thousand Changqing cultivators scattered across Changqing Country.

As long as he intercepted most of them, even if a few slipped through, it wouldn’t matter much.

At this stage, the Qing Immortal Sect was already beyond saving.

Even the reason Huang Xuan stayed here was just as a precaution to make some preparations.

It wasn’t necessary per se.

After directing the numerous Yellow Turban Strongmen to set up the Ring Star Formation, Huang Xuan patrolled Changqing Mountain once more to confirm that no stragglers were left.

He then instructed the strongmen to continue guarding the various formation flags while he returned to the center of Changqing Mountain, where he would stay and be prepared to respond to any situation from all directions, quietly waiting for his main body to arrive with the large army.

...

In Su Yun Country.

After everything in Changqing Mountain had settled, Huang Xuan and the others immediately contacted Lu Yuan through divine thought with the news.

His response was clear-cut.

Upon learning that Changqing Mountain had been taken, he deliberately slowed down the intensity of his confrontation with Zhang Xiuzhu, no longer battling as fervently as before.

This change was naturally perceived by Zhang Xiuzhu as the enemy exhausting their strength and struggling to hold on.

Seeing this, he was instantly overjoyed.

He hurried to wrap up matters on his end so he could send someone back to investigate the situation at Changqing Mountain.

Zhang Xiuzhu, with his magic power also spent by more than half, voluntarily increased his attack frequency, recklessly unleashing various powerful spells and supernatural powers.

This sudden increase in offensive pressure naturally placed Lu Yuan under immense strain.

The effect was immediate, forcing the three Earth Immortals from Taiping Dao to start faltering and gradually struggle to maintain their ground.

The other three cooperating Changqing Formation Earth Immortals noticed their elder’s actions and realized that the decisive moment had arrived.

Thus, disregarding their own exhaustion, they crazily channeled the power of the formation to aid their elder in repelling these Taiping Dao Earth Immortals.

Facing such a fierce onslaught, Lu Yuan and his group began to falter for real.

What had been a feigned defeat slowly turned into a real one, but rather than feeling disheartened, Lu Yuan felt even more elated.

If the enemy had suddenly increased their strength so significantly, the price they paid was also substantial.

Loss of magic power was typical, but those three Formation Earth Immortals maintaining such an offensive likely began to overdraw their foundational lifespan, which granted them this strength.

However, such overdrawing was bound to be unsustainable.

Perhaps after another hour or so, these individuals would completely burn out, literally being dragged to death.

Those unfit for positions they occupy, must suffer the consequences.

As a Human Immortal wanting to wield the power of an Earth Immortal, how could one not pay a price?

Even though most of that price was shared by the formation and other cultivators within it.

But the remaining portion, for those Human Immortals, was an unbearable burden.

They could barely hold on for a short time.

Over a longer period, it would be lethal.

Now, with three hours having passed since the battle truly began.
