Cultivation: I Have Studied Abroad in the Modern World

Chapter 1342: Chapter 605: One-on-Many Melee—How Many Zheng Fas Are There? (Part 2)

Xuan Chengzi was stunned.

He could confirm that what Zheng Fa just used was also a Space Taoist Skill!

It was even a space skill stronger than the Two Principles Minor Dust Talisman!

But how is this possible? How could Zheng Fa’s understanding of space be stronger than that of a Daoist Venerable?

Yet, the Heavenly Emperor Body suddenly appeared again, standing right in front of him, smiling at Xuan Chengzi’s bewildered expression.

"You... What spell is this?"

Even knowing this was not the right time to ask, Xuan Chengzi couldn’t help but question.

"Have you heard of... a formation called the All Heaven Stars Formation?"

"Formation?"

Xuan Chengzi was even more surprised; they had been guarding against the formations of the Jiushan Sect all along.

But the Two Principles Minor Dust Talisman can isolate space, any formation shouldn’t be possible!

The Heavenly Emperor Body did not explain further; he raised his right hand and slapped his chest, causing the acupoints around him to shine brightly.

Three hundred and sixty body gods emerged from his acupoints, standing in the void.

These body gods were different from those in the True Immortal Realm; their faces varied, full of vitality, appearing like real cultivators, with flesh and blood, indistinguishable from living people!

Outer Scenery · All Heaven Star God!

The stars in the sky seemed to awaken, opening their eyes, shining brightly, reflecting with the Heavenly Emperor Body.

"What... what is this?"

Xuan Chengzi asked in a trembling voice.

"This is my ’Yellow Court Outer Scenery Scripture,’" the Heavenly Emperor Body chuckled, "One generates two, two generates three, three generates all things, all things return to one."

To Zheng Fa, ’Yellow Court Outer Scenery Scripture’ was like second nature; simply put, it was using the creative power of a Golden Immortal to transform body gods from illusion to reality, achieving the effect of one forming a formation.

Xuan Chengzi and the other two Golden Immortals looked at the vast number of All Heaven Stars around, suddenly having a ludicrous thought:

They were going to be beaten by one person, Zheng Fa.

What’s more ludicrous, the All Heaven Stars Formation in space Dao seemed to vaguely surpass the Ancestor Master’s Two Principles Minor Dust Talisman!

Of course, it surpasses.

The fundamental of the All Heaven Stars Formation is the space Dao; otherwise, how could it allow void shifts, coming and going freely in chaos?

Even though the Heavenly Emperor Body’s cultivation right now is still far from that of a Daoist Venerable, the All Heaven Stars Formation is a chaos-level Daluo Golden Immortal formation, far more profound than the Two Principles Minor Dust Talisman.

"Go!"

Xuan Chengzi knew this was not good, and without further care, activated the Two Principles Minor Dust Talisman, wanting to take his brothers and get away.

"Stay!"

A cold shout from the Heavenly Emperor Body came from behind him, and the void behind Xuan Chengzi was like a stormy sea, forming a vortex.

At the center of the vortex, a black hole rapidly whipped around, slowly opening its fangs, swallowing Xuan Chengzi whole.

He flailed his horsetail whisk, slashing about in the black hole, trying to escape, yet found the surrounding darkness not only unbroken but growing heavier, as if absorbing his mana.

While searching for a way out, he looked toward the other two, only to find that though not trapped in a black hole, they were like flies, buzzing aimlessly with no exit in sight.

Of course, no exit could be found.

This was the complete All Heaven Stars Formation that even the Water Mother of the past never enjoyed.

Although Zheng Fa’s current All Heaven Star God is still unmatched by real stars, neither is Xuan Chengzi compared to the Half-step Daluo Water Mother?

The three exchanged glances, their expressions exceedingly grim.

Xuan Chengzi, upon looking around, suddenly brightened his eyes: "His formation is sharp, but his mana is lacking!"

The other two Golden Immortals, upon hearing this, immediately focused on Zheng Fa’s Star God, spirits lifting.

The aura of these Star Gods was rapidly falling, even their bodies beginning to turn transparent.

They instantly realized.

Zheng Fa, a newly ascended Golden Immortal, lacked the thick immortal power to trap three Golden Immortals with this strange formation, indeed somewhat stretching.

All they needed was to wait a moment longer, and they’d be free!

As they thought this, suddenly from the ground, a bell rang out loudly, a vast power of incense from the Sun and Moon Clock poured into the Heavenly Emperor Body.

The Star Gods that seemed about to dissipate rapidly solidified.

Their expressions immediately turned as if they had eaten something foul—Divine Dao Skill!

Zheng Fa, indeed, had just become a Golden Immortal, but he followed the Divine Dao Skill, commanding faith from two great continents!

He replenished his immortal power a thousand times faster than ordinary people!

"...You could have escaped long ago?"

Xuan Chengzi paused with his horsetail whisk and suddenly asked.

The Heavenly Emperor Body nodded with a smile, without trying to annihilate the three—not for lack of desire, but because the All Heaven Stars Formation wasn’t a Slaughter Array.

On the other hand, combatting three was about his limit; Xuan Chengzi and company had keen sight; without the Divine Dao Skill, the All Heaven Star God would have dispersed long ago.

He looked at the Two Principles Minor Dust Talisman in the void, frowning, thinking about how to subdue this item.

Xuan Chengzi’s question echoed in his ears again: "Then why did you..."

"Initially, I indeed didn’t know the truth of the Two Principles Minor Dust Talisman, nor whether the All Heaven Stars Formation could break it."

The Heavenly Emperor Body focused on the Two Principles Minor Dust Talisman.

"Secondly, I was waiting for someone."

"Waiting for someone? Who?" Xuan Chengzi was first taken aback, then suddenly realized, "Leiyin Temple?"

The Heavenly Emperor Body glanced at him, smiling.

Xuan Chengzi had quickly figured it out.

Their attack did initially catch Zheng Fa off guard, but afterward, Zheng Fa being trapped was in fact part of his plan—

If the Four Directions Buddha hid in the West Continent, Jiushan Immortal Court would have no way to deal with them.

But if the Four Directions Buddha had really come out, they would no longer have the Great Vajra Realm’s protection!

Thinking this, a doubt arose in Xuan Chengzi’s heart—drawing the snake out of the hole, then what?

Who would catch the snake?

He calculated silently; Zheng Fa had trapped the three of them, but it effectively trapped him as well, unable to move.

The other five Golden Immortals of Jiushan Sect were evenly matched with his brothers, temporarily in a stalemate.

The Sun-shooting Divine Bow couldn’t secure success, the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation had inherent limitations, and the Jiushan Sect’s Golden Immortal level combat strength was essentially depleted. Who would handle the Four Directions Buddha?

Xuan Chengzi looked westward, seeing the Four Directions Buddha approaching Sun City.

The Four Directions Buddha intended to compete for the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation and the Sun-shooting Divine Bow, flying quickly, yet stopped suddenly, casting an apprehensive gaze towards Sun City.

"Huh?" The Heavenly Emperor Body was somewhat surprised, "They discovered?"

He hadn’t rushed to break the Two Principles Minor Dust Talisman precisely to use it as cover, baiting the Four Directions Buddha. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

The Two Principles Minor Dust Talisman seemed to create a peculiar space, one that not even the Thick Earth Magnetic Array could penetrate.

Yet, the Four Directions Buddha seemed to sense danger.

The Four Directions Buddha stood in the void, glanced towards Sun City, and unexpectedly, his tunneling light emerged below him, making a swift retreat westward without a backward glance.

Did they really discover?

Remembering Jianan said the Buddhist sect excelled in causality, the Heavenly Emperor Body now understood—these two sects indeed had marvelous methods he did not comprehend.

For example, the Supreme Dao’s Two Principles Minor Dust Talisman.

Or the Four Directions Buddha’s foresight.

Watching this, Xuan Chengzi ceased struggling, gazing at the Buddha’s retreating figure with extreme anxiety.

All three of them were left behind; how could the Four Directions Buddha be allowed to escape?

Why were these four’s senses so keen?

Moreover, it seemed to him that Jiushan Sect had run out of cards to play against the Four Directions Buddha. If the Buddha came, perhaps they might be freed!

This was their last hope.

He watched the retreating tunneling light under the Buddha, seeing his hope dwindle with it.

At that moment, from the ground came a clear, low voice:

"Friends from Leiyin Temple, please stay."

This voice...

Xuan Chengzi gazed in the direction the voice came from, seeing a Sword Rainbow rising from the Haori base, shooting towards the Four Directions Buddha.

From the Haori base emerged a figure he found very familiar.

"Zheng Fa?"

He exclaimed in surprise.

Glancing at the Heavenly Emperor Body, then towards the sword Dao body flying westward, his mind felt a murky fog, a chill spreading down his back—

That was Zheng Fa, then who was before them?

How many Zheng Fas were there?
