I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 417: Chapter 308: Bead that Breaks Meridians_1

“You’re courting death!”

Ji Dingjin was a fiery character in his youth, but as he aged, he considerably mellowed down. However, constant verbal provocations from Chu Zuoshu pushed him past his limits.

From the palm of his right hand, two Iron Gall sparkled with brilliant sparks. In an instant, a flash of lightning erupted, striking at Chu Zuoshu’s head.

However, as the heir apparent of the Divine Wood Sect, Chu Zuoshu was heralded as a cultivator on the verge of the Core Formation Realm.

Without panic, he simply adjusted the jade crown on his head, and a crystal clear spiritual light surged outwards, transforming into distinct, lushly green leaves.

It was the signature “Spirit Leaves Technique” of the Divine Wood Sect.

The Iron Gall Thunderbolts fell on the leaves, causing a slight ripple before dissipating into nothingness.

“Hmph!”

However, Ji Dingjin, the oldest Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator in the Eastern Wilderness, had sparred with the monks of the Divine Wood Sect many times, losing count himself. Therefore, he had already developed a countermeasure to the Spirit Leaves Technique.

With a cold snort, he immediately threw one of the Iron Gall from his hand, the sound akin to wind thunder, scattering sparks and lightning along the way.

As expected.

When the Iron Gall fell, the originally distinct leaves started to blur, finally disappearing with a “pop”.

Chu Zuoshu saw that this was a golden magical artifact, the nemesis to his cultivation technique, furrowed his brows, and activated a blazing red talisman.

In an instant, the fire transformed into a dragon and snake, but Ji Dingjin summoned back his Iron Gall at this moment, causing Chu Zuoshu’s powerful talisman to miss its target.

However, Chu Zuoshu was not one to fall behind; he immediately sent the fire-like dragon and snake charging at the monk from the Shake Mountain who stood beside Ji Dingjin. The latter cursed but had no choice but to block the talisman.

Attaining full Foundation Establishment was tantamount to entering the Fake Core Realm. If Ji Dingjin refused to step in, even if the group beside him could defend, they would be greatly damaged.

“Your artifact is not bad. I initially thought that you are old and had just taken up such playthings, but it seems it is specially made to deal with me,” Chu Zuoshu, looking at the two Iron Gall in Ji Dingjin’s hand, which turned red due to the fire dragon and snake, touched his mustache and chuckled.

“Stop flattering yourself. It seems you are itching for a beating.”

Ji Dingjin was also fired up. He put the two Iron Gall in his storage bag, then wore a black arm guard and boxing gloves. His vigour exploded, and his already large physique expanded even further, like a giant.

“Set up the array!”

Upon seeing this, Chu Zuoshu instantly shouted and took out a silver array plate shaped like an octagon.

Chen Mobai and the other six were already waiting for this command. In an instant, they set up their array flags and moved their feet to set around Chu Zuoshu, forming the well-practiced Azure Light Formation.

The void started to fluctuate, clouds and mist formed and expanded, conjuring up eight gateways. Hundreds of azure lights flickered within them.

With Chu Zuoshu’s control over the array plate, the hundreds of azure lights turned into flying swords, blanketing the sky as they lunged at the monks from Shake Mountain.

Amidst the buzzing sound.

Having lost the initiative, Ji Dingjin roared furiously, took out a human-sized brass shield, and positioned himself at the forefront. Simultaneously, he shouted at the monks behind him, “Set up the array.”

Seeing the five Foundation Establishment monks from Shake Mountain, along with Gong Wanshan and Zheng Wuxie, siding with Ji Dingjin who shielded them, the eight Foundation Establishment monks also set up the “Thousand Rocks Ten Thousand Mountains Array”.

Under the traction of the array and the divine sense control of the Foundation Establishment monks, nature’s spiritual energy transformed into a giant rolling stone phantom, akin to a meteorite, barreling towards the cloud gates on the opposing side.

However, amidst the ever-changing eight gates, azure lights that shot out like flying swords continually swerved, not only resisting the impact of the rolling stones but also enabling Chu Zuoshu to control another cloud gate to sidestep and shoot azure light at the monks from Shake Mountain.

However, the “Thousand Rocks Ten Thousand Mountains Array” was both offensive and defensive.

The vast yellow sands rolled in and instantly dissolved the azure light that had entered into the earthly spiritual energy.

“Lian Chenghai, when are you going to act?”

Seeing both sides locked in a stalemate in mid-air, Chu Zuoshu immediately yelled at Rolling Thunder Mountain.

This Spirit Stone mine was a joint venture between the Divine Wood Sect and six immortal cultivation families; and a Rank-3 Large Array, different from the Azure Light Formation, had also been set up. Since it was connected to the spiritual energy of the earth’s veins, its power exceeded the former by far.

Just as Chu Zuoshu finished speaking, golden rays appeared below on the mountaintop, condensing in the sky above into a giant golden knife phantom. Seeing that it was about to slash at the yellow sand around the Thousand Rocks Ten Thousand Mountains Array, Ji Dingjin surprisingly led his people to retreat.

“Chu Zuoshu, just you wait.”

Leaving behind a harsh remark, the monks of Shake Mountain, like a yellow cloud, chased after the Azure Light Formation’s flying swords, retreating towards Rock Country without looking back.

Chu Zuoshu led Chen Mobai and the others to chase after them for a while, stopping only when they were about to cross the border of Lei Nation and return victoriously.

“Hahaha, Ji Dingjin, that old guy was always relying on being one realm higher than me and being senior to me. Seeing him get beaten up today is truly satisfying.”

After returning to Rolling Thunder Mountain, Chu Zuoshu’s initially stiff expression finally couldn’t hold back and erupted into hearty laughter.
