The next day.
The morning light began to erge, night had not yet faded, and the sky was dimly lit.
This was the mont when yin and yang intersected, and perhaps far off on the horizon, to the east of the great river, countless lights sparked to life, beams of immortal light shot towards heaven, twinkling at the edge of the sky.
One could see streaks of escaping light flying over, with radiance of four colors complenting each other, and at this mont before sunrise, they looked like stars illuminating the sky.
Across the wide Tiann River, an immortal shine descended, covering the entire river surface, casting over it a layer of dreamlike illusion.
This massive commotion instantly awaked everyone from the Nine Provinces on the opposite shore of Tiann Country.
One by one, cultivators who had been prepared in advance, upon sensing the slightest movent, imdiately sought out their senior fellow disciples and gathered at various posts, watching the sky with vigilant eyes.
Having rushed over from the Southern Domain just the previous day, Ding Wanxuan had also found his elder brother, and together they watched for any changes unfolding.
Ding Wanxuan looked up at the sky, where what seed to be stars made up of nurous cultivators’ escaping lights. Just from what he could see, there were no fewer than ten thousand people on the opposite side.
Just for this battlefield alone, Qing Immortal Sect had made such a massive investnt.
Seeing this, he couldn’t help but say with a solemn expression, "Elder brother, it looks like Qing Immortal Sect can no longer restrain themselves, they are about to make a move."
ng Jianshan’s deanor, however, remained calm, not showing much panic. He simply glanced at the celestial phenonon shining with group stars, nodded casually, and said, "Now that Taiping Dao has already made its stance clear, Qing Immortal Sect no longer has any concerns holding them back, and it’s only natural for them to act."
With Ding Wanxuan’s arrival yesterday, the last bit of concern in ng Jianshan’s heart had also been put to rest.
At this point, although he regarded Qing Immortal Sect with importance, he was no longer anxious or fearful.
"Qing Immortal Sect is making such a grand display; they must be planning to launch a fierce attack on our formation thod without a doubt."
Seeing his elder brother so composed, Ding Wanxuan’s own tension eased considerably. After calming down a bit, he said, "The opponent has many treasures and thods specifically designed to break formations; we have suffered losses from them in the past. Our formation thod is just maintaining normal operation and hasn’t been fully activated; I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to handle an assault.
We should imdiately send orders for disciples at all points of the formation to start channeling their Spiritual Power, fully activate the formation nodes, and keep the formation at peak performance."
In the Immortal Realm, there are all kinds of formation thods that can make use of the power of Heaven and Earth or the power of all beings to exhibit various mighty abilities.
And naturally, there are all sorts of treasures and thods specifically developed to break these formations.
Although the Earth Immortal formation is powerful, once set in motion, even an Earth Immortal would find it difficult to shake.
But this doesn’t an it’s foolproof.
Without vigilance and constant attention to the formation’s changes, mobilizing its power, and wholeheartedly responding to external attacks, any negligence could potentially lead to its breach.
Of course.
Given the vastness of the Earth Immortal formation, even if it were breached, it would only destroy so of the nodes in a particular area, causing that segnt of the formation to fail and reducing the overall power of the formation.
To break through a formation that stretches across three nations in one fell swoop is not such an easy task.
Without a prolonged effort of day and night assaults, spending several months, or even several decades, it’s very difficult to completely break an Earth Immortal formation.
Of course, this is assuming that the strengths of both sides are not too dissimilar, and no absolute advantage has been secured, which is why it would require so much ti.
If one side has an absolute advantage, possessing several tis more strength, as Qing Immortal Sect had planned before, with three or four Earth Immortals besieging one formation.
Then, within ten days or so, it would be possible to break an Earth Immortal formation.
However, with Ding Wanxuan’s arrival, Qing Immortal Sect naturally no longer possesses such strength.
So what he ntioned was about being gradually weakened by the opponent, slowly depleting the strength of the formation.
Otherwise, through long-term attrition over the years or even decades, it’s possible for the opponent to break through this formation.
If they do not prepare and respond in ti, and wait until they are under attack, they could suffer a great loss.
"What you say is correct, junior brother. Since the opponent has already started the war, we should not think about conserving the strength of the Earth Vein anymore."
In agreent with Ding Wanxuan’s suggestion, ng Jianshan nodded his approval, "Send the order down, let all disciples imdiately energize the formation thod to its utmost, draw on the Earth Vein’s power from beneath the three nations to maintain the formation’s operation.
At the sa ti, within all the blessed lands and Spirit Veins in the formation, all Spiritual Energy is now regulated, with priority given to maintaining the operation of the formation thod.
Anyone who, without permission, uses the Earth Vein and Spiritual Energy within the formation will be treated as a traitor and a spy and will be executed without rcy."
ng Jianshan issued the order to activate the formation for warti.
Given the imnse power of the Earth Immortal formation, the energy required to maintain its operation was naturally huge.
And ordinarily, a formation relies on three main sources of energy supply.
The first is the most common Earth Vein energy, which depends on the power of mountains and rivers, using the entire land as a support.
The second is the Spirit Vein’s Spiritual Energy, which is derived from extracting the Spirit Veins cultured in various blessed lands and consuming the Spiritual Energy within them to power the formation.
The final source is celestial forces, which align with the Heavenly Vault, the sun, moon, and stars to draw upon the power of the celestial bodies, thereby maintaining the formation.
Among the three types of energy supplies, the first is the most reliable and abundant because cultivators reside within the land, nourished by it, and are closest to it, making the land’s power most dependable.
However, Earth Vein energy often represents the foundation of a land. Though profound, if it’s overexploited, it will also suffer.
Excessive consumption of Earth Vein energy can lead to barren lands, with flora and fauna struggling to survive, depriving mountains and rivers of their spirit, and even causing various natural disasters.
