Chapter 1283: Chapter 1277: From Blows, Friendship Grows
“What is this?!!”
“A Body Integration aura, there’s a Body Integration realm cultivator underground! How could it be so massive?”
“Fall back, form the array!”
Outside Jade Mist Valley, the cultivators of the Three Prefectures gathered together.
They watched in horror as the earth-shattering scene unfolded in an instant.
The ground was completely torn into bottomless rift valleys, with white mist rising.
And… tentacles extending from all directions!
These tentacles were entirely white, inscribed with symbols exuding an ancient aura.
Suction cups lined the tentacles, and within those cups, uneven, jagged fangs could be seen.
The tentacles reached straight into the sky, causing ripples to form in the cloudy sky, as if unlocking some kind of rule.
In an instant, at the ripples in the clouds created by the piercing tentacles, array patterns actually emerged alongside the glowing characters on those towering appendages.
This array originated from the very body of the entity extending its tentacles from underground; a biological creature had actually deployed a natural array formation.
Talisman arrays manifested in the sky, emitting a surprisingly gentle, iridescent light that pierced through the cloud layer and reflected upon the earth.
The gazes of everyone present were filled with sheer terror.
They had never seen such a bizarre scene.
The aura of these tentacles was filled with an awe-inspiring holiness, generating an oppressive might that made them feel instinctive fear, rendering them afraid to even look directly at it.
Yet at the same time, they also sensed a bloodthirsty madness radiating from these tentacles.
A fear embedded deep within their bloodlines sprang from their hearts; this was a highly ominous sign.
They instinctively felt that under this oppressive might, they would be helplessly swept up by the tentacles and dragged into the suction cups, reduced to mere ants and blood food.
…
“The watchdog… the Banshu family’s watchdog!”
Inside Jade Mist Valley, everyone—alongside the cultivators outside the array—watched this horrifying scene. Even Linghu Xian was no exception.
He had already stopped fighting the Li Clan’s Old Ancestor.
The oppressive might of an immortal had finally caused the Li Clan’s Old Ancestor, who had clung on like a venomous snake, to loosen his bite.
However, Linghu Xian had no time left to resume his struggle with the Li Clan’s Old Ancestor; he stared blankly at the tentacles reaching straight into the sky.
Long ago, he had known of the existence of immortals.
The entirety of Grandhaven Prefecture was under the enlightenment of the Red Dust Immortal.
But aside from the Six Masters, no one had ever seen a true immortal.
An increase in strength often lessens one’s fear of legendary entities, and becoming an immortal had become his ultimate goal.
Until today, Linghu Xian finally understood what an immortal truly was.
His bloodline resisted, and his soul trembled in fear.
Even having reached the Dao-Comprehending realm, he felt as if he were facing the very origin of the world, like a fragile mortal standing before a deep, primeval forest.
Even the crystal inside his body was urging him to flee!
“It’s over, hahaha, we’re all finished!” Linghu Xian stared at the joyously dancing tentacles, laughing with utter madness.
“You of the Li Clan wanted to annihilate my Jade Mist Valley; now, we will all become the watchdog’s blood food, hahaha!”
“…”
Li Wei was also watching the tentacles swaying in the cloudy sky.
His expression darkened slightly.
Now he was certain: the Zhao Clan’s Old Ancestor he had encountered many years ago was exactly this kind of entity.
The Zhao Clan’s Old Ancestor had been a giant heart; this watchdog, it seemed, was likely a giant white octopus.
The immortal qi surfacing from underground exuded a holy aura, while the watchdog’s body carried a terrifying oppressive might that made one involuntarily want to bare their neck for slaughter.
This fear seemed to stem from raw bodily instinct.
Looking at the surrounding crowd, everyone was trembling.
“We still have a chance, we still do!!!” Linghu Xian roared furiously at Li Wei,
“Let’s deal with It together! It has been hiding for many years, so It is not that powerful.
It is taking advantage of our two-day fierce battle, attempting to reap the fisherman’s profit. Let’s deal with It together!”
This was the only way Linghu Xian could think of to survive.
Between life and death, any hatred could be cast aside.
He had already prepared countless arguments to persuade the Li Clan’s Old Ancestor.
The answer he received was surprisingly straightforward.
“Alright.”
“No, that’s not right.” Before Linghu Xian could even respond, the distant voice of the Fox Saint echoed in his ear.
The Fox Saint said indifferently, “Daoist Friend’s calculations run too deep; aren’t you afraid of dropping a rock on your own foot?”
“Calculations…”
Linghu Xian’s expression changed, his thoughts racing.
Looking at the Li Clan’s Old Ancestor before him, who remained completely unmoving, his face stiffened. “You… were trying to lure the watchdog out?”
“It is very good at running. Since It hasn’t fled Grandhaven Prefecture, It must be plotting something.”
The Li Clan’s Old Ancestor spread his hands helplessly. “This was the only way to lure It out.”
“Ha… hahaha!”
Linghu Xian sneered coldly, pointing at the cultivators of the Three Prefectures outside the grand array. “You want them to die! It cannot enter our grand array!”
“Once It eats the cultivators of the Three Prefectures and its strength recovers, It will naturally come in,” the Li Clan’s Old Ancestor replied in a relaxed tone.
“You…”
Linghu Xian’s face went completely blank.
But then, the Li Clan’s Old Ancestor’s tone abruptly shifted. “Just messing with you. I’m not as inhumane as you are.”
As his words fell, beneath the backdrop of the watchdog’s swaying tentacles in the clouds, the Li Clan’s Old Ancestor raised his long spear and said warmly,
“Brother Linghu, from blows, friendship grows. You and I are as close as brothers; why don’t you join me in dealing with the watchdog?
Who knows, maybe the immortal seed inside your body will eat the watchdog instead? Wouldn’t you say so?”
“Don’t even think about it…”
“Then there’s no other way.”
Li Wei grinned broadly, slightly raising his left hand and snapping his fingers.
From within the Yin-Yang Fish diagram, fireworks shot straight up into the cloudy sky, dazzling and brilliant.
At this moment, Li Yaotie, who had been fiercely hammering the Jade Mist Valley’s grand array, paused his movements.
Staring at the fireworks in the clouds, veins bulged wildly all over his body.
He strained his vocal cords and let out a furious roar.
“Tianqi!”
“It’s been three months! You brat, hurry up and break this array for me!!!”
