At the same time, in the Dao Yi Hall of the Formless Divine Mountain. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The originally thirty-zhang square hall had become immensely vast.

Li Changsheng and others sat solemnly inside, as if situated in the boundless void.

Hundreds of sets of silver-white circular rings inlaid with ’Divine Blood Essence Crystals’ and ’Divine Star Stones’ rotated slowly outside.

Those Divine Blood Essence Crystals and Divine Star Stones emitted a blue-green spirit light, resembling small stars.

In the center of these star rings floated a dark gray crystal, roughly the size of an adult’s heart.

——It was part of the Source Core of the Time Secret Realm.

This was brought back from the Time Secret Realm by the fifth-generation Sect Master.

At the age of seventeen, this Sect Master had entered the Secret Realm, overpowering all his peers within it, thereby bringing this item back and enabling the Formless Divine Sect to control the primary entry passage to the Time Secret Realm.

In the hall, with Li Changsheng at the forefront, everyone was using the array within the Dao Yi Hall to activate the Source Core, remotely observing the scenery inside the ’Time Secret Realm.’

Previously, only Li Changsheng could see it, but now everyone in the hall could probe into its mysteries.

At this moment, including Li Changsheng, everyone had peculiar expressions.

They had prepared to provide the utmost support to Chu Xisheng.

However, judging by the situation inside the Secret Realm, Chu Xisheng seemed to handle everything with ease.

"Is he using the power of the Xuanwu Snake Turtle to counter the three Candle Dragons? This little fellow is evidently not without strategy."

The Grand Elder of the Scripture Pavilion, Wang Baimei, stroked his beard, his eyes showing a hint of admiration.

It had been a long time since he had seen such a clever and interesting junior.

Previously, when he saw Chu Xisheng step alone into the trap set by ’Jian Shifei’ and others, and provoke the Xuanwu Snake Turtle head-on, he had frowned deeply.

This future ’Blood Vengeance Saint,’ despite his extraordinary talent, appeared somewhat reckless in action.

Now it seemed that this person clearly had a meticulous plan and was confident of success.

Like some people within the sect, he had a belly full of deceit——

"He aims to use the Cold Ice power of the Xuanwu Snake Turtle to slow down the speed of the ’Time Wound.’"

Wang Baimei squinted his eyes, "Could he intend to reflect the ’Time Wound’ back using the Divine Wind Bright Mirror Blade? Could he succeed?"

"This ’Time Wound’ is a power borrowed by the Candle Dragons from the ’Ancient God Candle Light.’"

The Great Elder of the Imperial Hall, Yan Guilai, tapped the armrest with his finger, his gaze thoughtful, "It’s possible! These three Candle Dragons are only at the Fourth Grade realm, they cannot fully control the ’Time Wound.’ The prerequisite is to slow down both the Candle Dragons and the ’Time Wound,’ and Chu Xisheng’s own speed and reflexes must catch up with the three Candle Dragons."

"The Candle Dragon can borrow power, and so can Chu Xisheng! The five Holy Artifacts of the sect are at his disposal."

The Great Elder of the Finance Bureau, Hao Qiufeng, looked rather pleased, "I am quite interested in the Secret Technique he’s using. The three Fourth Grade Candle Dragons surprisingly cannot determine his exact location."

Actually, it’s not that they couldn’t determine, but they couldn’t pinpoint it immediately.

They could often lock onto Chu Xisheng’s location only a third of a flash later.

But that third of a flash was enough to decide many things.

It is said, ’One snap of a finger contains sixty flashes, and each flash holds nine hundred lives and deaths.’

A third of a flash was three hundred lives and deaths, with three hundred lives being born and perishing.

The Third Grade Xuanwu Snake Turtle was, however, quicker to break Chu Xisheng’s Secret Technique than the three Candle Dragons.

But the Cold Ice skill of the Snake Turtle was much slower compared to the speed of the Candle Dragons’ ’Time Wound.’

Besides, no matter how swiftly it could break the technique, it was of no avail—

Those ’Time Wounds’ crisscrossed within the mountain belly, indiscriminately cutting everything!

As the Great Elder who presided over the sect’s finances, Hao Qiufeng couldn’t help but be pleased.

The Great Elder of the Mage Institute had consumed twelve million taels’ worth of ’Divine Gold’ resources for the array in the Dao Yi Hall.

Once they activated it, forcibly interfering with the Secret Realm, half of the ’Divine Blood Essence Crystals’ and ’Divine Star Stones’ in the Dao Yi Hall would be rendered useless.

However, now it seemed that this ’Blood Vengeance Saint’ was someone who could save money for the sect.

"Indeed remarkable! It must be based on the Secret Technique he created, ’White Horse is Not a Horse,’ integrated with the fundamental essence of Formless Skill, and further elaborated."

The Great Elder of the Imperial Hall, Yan Guilai, was the youngest among all the Great Elders present, but his combat power ranked firmly in the top five among all Second Grade Great Elders of the Formless Divine Sect.

He could discern the essence of the ’Infinite Slash’ at a glance, showing a look of astonishment.

This should not be a Secret Technique created by Chu Xisheng!

Only the past Dominating Martial King, Qin Mu Ge, and the previous Family Head of the West Capital Chu family had the ability to derive ’Formless’ into ’Infinite’ by integrating the strengths of all families.

Yan Guilai then collected his thoughts, opened his large copper bell-like eyes, and said, "But whether he will succeed depends on his mastery of ’Vengeful Blade Intent’ and the ’Divine Wind Bright Mirror Blade.’"

Li Changsheng, however, bore a serious expression and remained silent.

He kept his small green-bean eyes wide open, always fully attentive, observing the situation inside the Secret Realm.

The situation within the Xuanwu Ice Mountain changed with each passing moment, and although Chu Xisheng had devised a strategy to break the impasse, he was still in a dangerously risky position.

At this juncture, a single misstep could lead to a catastrophic disaster.

Li Changsheng had to stay vigilant at all times, ready to intervene whenever necessary.

The attention of everyone inside the Dao Yi Hall gradually focused on the battle within the Xuanwu Ice Mountain.

From beginning to end, they never discussed Jian Shifei, Yun Tiange, or Lie Ling, nor did they pay them the slightest attention.
