Chương 210: Both Sides Prepare for War

In fact, Daoist Duobao had already arrived at Penglai Island long ago.

He did not appear when he entered Penglai Island, but instead used his divine sense to scan the island and observe the situation of the immortals there.

Upon this observation, Daoist Duobao felt a chill in his heart. The morale of the immortals on Penglai Island had collapsed; they had lost their will to fight.

Daoist Duobao was prepared for this.

His defeat at Fang Yang's hands was an undeniable fact. This one event was enough to shatter all the hopes of the immortals on Penglai Island.

They lost hope, and naturally, they lost confidence.

This was a situation that Daoist Duobao did not want to see. The immortals of Penglai Island had even lost confidence in defeating Fang Yang; how could they possibly contend with him?

Therefore, Daoist Duobao decided to display his divine power in public, showcasing his quasi-saint level cultivation, so that the immortals of Penglai Island would know that they had a powerful backer behind them.

Daoist Duobao hovered in the void, his body covered with divine light of the Great Dao, emanating the pressure of a quasi-saint, which pressed down on all directions and shook the long river of destiny.

Many of the immortals from Penglai were greatly encouraged by the strength displayed by Daoist Duobao.

"Senior Brother, that's our Senior Brother. Although he lost to Fang Yang, he wasn't injured."

"Not bad! Look how powerful our senior brother is. Even if we all formed the Xuan Tian Bei Dou Grand Formation, we probably wouldn't be a match for him."

"Our senior brother is back!"

"As long as our senior brother is here, we have nothing to fear."

Even if Daoist Duobao was just a lifeline, the immortals of Penglai were determined to grasp at it. They had nothing else to offer.

The four immortals, Lingya Xian, Qiushou Xian, Pilu Xian, and Jingu Xian, were greatly encouraged and flew to Duobao Daoren's side, bowing in unison to pay their respects.

"We pay our respects to our senior brother!"

Daoist Duobao looked down, his quasi-saintly aura slowly receding. He said loudly, "Fellow disciples, please rise. My defeat at Fang Yang's hands this time was due to some mistakes in my cultivation, which allowed him to be released and exploit the loophole. Now, my cultivation has reached perfection, and Fang Yang can no longer do anything to me."

In an attempt to regain the confidence of the immortals of Penglai, Daoist Duobao began spouting nonsense with a straight face.

With a wave of his hand, Daoist Duobao summoned four supreme innate spiritual treasures: the Seven Treasures Golden Banner, the Hand of Shakyamuni, the Universe Bowl, and the Three Thousand Pagodas. Their radiant light soared into the sky, and auspicious energy flowed in thousands of strands. The four great paths of spiritual treasures shook the heavens and earth, causing even the laws of heaven and earth to tremble uncontrollably.

"See these? These four treasures are all top-grade innate spiritual treasures. I predicted that Fang Yang would mobilize the experts in his sect to attack Penglai Island. I brought these four top-grade innate spiritual treasures here to set up the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, fight Fang Yang, and protect our Penglai Island."

Daoist Duobao's voice was loud and clear, echoing throughout the heavens and earth.

Encouraged by the four top-grade innate spiritual treasures, a glimmer of hope shone in the eyes of the immortals of Penglai Island. They even overlooked the news that Fang Yang was coming to attack Penglai Island.

Upon hearing this, Lingya Xian, Qiushou Xian, and the other three couldn't help but feel their eyes redden.

Their senior brother never let them down. At the most dangerous moment on Penglai Island, Daoist Duobao arrived with a full set of magical treasures.

Daoist Duobao exemplified the meaning of "sharing blessings and hardships" through his actions.

"Senior Brother, what have we done to deserve such care from you?"

"I can repay the teacher's kindness to the fullest extent, but I can never repay the kindness of my eldest brother!"

Lingya Xian and the others were completely won over by Duobao Daoren. They secretly vowed that no matter what they experienced or what happened in the future, they would be loyal to Duobao Daoren to the death.

But Daoist Duobao wasn't there to win people's hearts; the Seven Immortals of Penglai had already submitted. He came to Penglai Island to deliver a crushing blow to Fang Yang and turn the tide of the offensive.

He wanted to see if Fang Yang, this second-generation disciple of the Xuanmen sect, could break the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.

"My cultivation is much stronger than that of the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother back then. With the addition of many junior brothers and sisters, the power of our Ten Thousand Immortals Formation is definitely stronger than that of the Eastern King Duke's Ten Thousand Immortals Formation."

Daoist Duobao was not blindly confident; Dongwanggong died after giving a lecture at Zixiao Palace.

During the lecture at Zixiao Palace, the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother volunteered to become the heads of the male and female immortals, respectively. Their celestial courts were not established for long before Emperor Jun and Taiyi arrived, breaking the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation and destroying the Zixiao Palace.

Since he couldn't even attend the two lectures at Zixiao Palace, Dongwanggong certainly couldn't become a quasi-saint.

The Queen Mother of the West became a supreme being after the Great Battle of the Ten Thousand Immortals. No matter how powerful she became afterward, it wouldn't affect the previous great battle.

He, Duobao, was at the Quasi-Saint level of cultivation.

Based on this alone, he concluded that the Myriad Immortals Formation he had unleashed was stronger than the one used by the Eastern King Duke.

However, Daoist Duobao overlooked the fact that Taiyi, who broke the formation back then, was only a Great Luo Golden Immortal, while Fangyang, who is now trying to break the formation, is a Primordial Golden Immortal.

Fang Yang may still have a chance to break the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.

Daoist Duobao didn't have time to think too much; he just wanted to calm people's hearts and then fight Fang Yang again.

While Daoist Duobao was preparing to set up the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, Fang Yang was also teaching formation techniques in Biyou Palace.

The disciples of Penglai Island possess only two powerful formations: the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation and the Myriad Immortals Formation. When Fang Yang fought Duobao Daoist, he had already broken the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, making it impossible for Duobao Daoist to use it again.

Fang Yang concluded that Daoist Duobao would definitely activate the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation to counter his attack.

"The formation I cultivated is called the Heaven and Earth Harmony Formation. This Heaven and Earth Harmony Formation is actually a simplified formation. I cannot cultivate the complete formation by myself."

"The formation I truly deduced back then was called the Eight Desolate Earth Formation. The Eight Desolate Earth Formation was made by extracting the essence of mountains and rivers to refine the formation flags. When activating the formation, the flags would draw upon the power of the Three Mountains and Five Peaks, the Five Lakes and Four Seas to condense a Pangu Dharma Body. Once this formation is successfully cultivated, it will be enough to break the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation."

Fang Yang flicked his finger, and beams of divine light flew out from his palm. These beams landed in front of each disciple of the Jie Sect, forming jade slips.

Listening to Fang Yang's description, the immortals were filled with boundless curiosity about the Eight Desolate Earth Formation. The fact that even Fang Yang couldn't master the formation spoke volumes about its power.

Fairy Yunxiao took the jade slip and read through its information. The next moment, she was awestruck by the ingenuity of the Eight Desolate Earth Formation.

This formation actually contains the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation. In other words, the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation is merely a sub-formation of the Eight Desolate Earth Formation.

Besides the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, the Eight Desolate Earth Formation also includes the Ten Thousand Mountains Paying Homage Formation, the Sun and Moon Tide Formation, the Ten Thousand Streams Returning to the Void Formation, the Bright Flame Formation, and the Three Thousand Sumeru Sword Formation, among other formations that are no less powerful than the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.
