Su Jingzhen knew that even though Tuoba Junlin and Zou Zeyu were older than him, they weren’t much older.


    To reach the Nascent Soul stage at their age was a remarkable feat. Within the boundaries of Qingzhou, they were undoubtedly geniuses among geniuses.


    Even on a broader scale, across the entire cultivation world, they could be considered quite extraordinary.


    He was well aware that without his own emergence, these individuals would undoubtedly have been the protagonists of their era.


    At the very least, they would have been the future leaders of the Qingzhou region.


    “But still, what a pity,” Su Jingzhen sighed once more.


    He had already risen to prominence, yet these two had chosen to stand against him.


    Thus, their fates were sealed.


    Soon, all the Nascent Soul and Soul Formation stage cultivators gathered in Dan Holy City stepped forward. Their numbers reached over two hundred.


    And this didn’t include Shen Yifeng, the anomaly.


    Among them, there were as many as twenty Soul Formation stage cultivators.


    Su Jingzhen was slightly rmed.


    He knew this was only what was visible on the surface.


    There were still many hidden in the shadows, choosing not to reveal themselves.


    Or perhaps there were those who had yet to make an appearance from the beginning.


    For example, powerful rogue cultivators with no sect affiliation were not unheard of in the Qingzhou region.


    Even cultivators above the Soul Formation stage, at the Divine Intent Realm, still existed in the Qingzhou territory.


    Take Feng Xuan, the patriarch of the Feng family, for example—he was a Divine Intent Realm cultivator.


    However, when they rescued him from seclusion, he had only recovered to thete-stage of the Nascent Soul.


    Some of these Divine Intent Realm cultivators might have been drawn to the Dantai Ruins.


    Thinking of this, Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but feel a pang of regret.


    Regret for being too high-profile earlier, putting himself in the spotlight.


    If there truly were enemies at the Divine Intent Realm hiding in the shadows, then everything he had done before might have been observed.


    It could very well attract the attention of a Divine Intent Realm cultivator.


    That would be too dangerous.


    With his current strength, he could handle ate-stage Nascent Soul cultivator without issue.


    In a Bloodthirst state, he felt confident he could even fight someone at the early-stage Soul Formation.


    But mid-stage Soul Formation and above were beyond his capability.


    He also wasn’t certain about the full extent of his master’sbat abilities.


    In his view, although Shen Yifeng could y ate-stage Soul Formation cultivator like Zhou Tong with a single sword strike, facing a Divine Intent Realm opponent would still be challenging, at least in his estimation.


    As Su Jingzhen pondered, Ouyang Mingyue, standing at the highest point, suddenly threw out another object once more.


    As the light shed, it turned into a ck g.


    His expression turned solemn as he performed a hand seal. The ck g expanded rapidly with the wind, growing to several hundred meters in size.


    “This is the Breaking Formation g of our Alchemist Association!


    All of you need to do is channel your spiritual energy into this g.


    I will then break the energy barrier surrounding the Dantai Ruins.”


    As he spoke, a powerful wave of energy emanated from the Breaking Formation g.


    Ouyang Mingyue gave a demonstration first.


    The enormous spiritual power of histe Nascent Soul stage was suddenly injected into the g in the purest form.


    Instantly, a spiritual rune on the g lit up.


    This operation was straightforward and posed no difficulty.


    All the Nascent Soul and Soul Formation stage cultivators silently nodded in agreement.


    The aura of each of them also rose directly.


    “The Dongxuan Academy of Huangzhou supports the Vice President!”


    The first to respond were Han Ning and another cultivator from Dongxuan Academy in Huangzhou.


    Two mid-stage Soul Formation energies surged from their bodies and were channeled into the Breaking Formation g.


    The g fluttered in the wind, and two more spiritual runes lit up.


    The g’s power became even more formidable.


    Seeing this, the other Soul Formation stage cultivators no longer hesitated.


    Their auras rose sharply as they all channeled their pure energy into the ck g.


    The Breaking Formation g in Ouyang Mingyue’s hands swelled several times over.


    Dozens of spiritual runes now glowed on the g.


    These runes connected, forming a mysterious pattern.


    At this moment, Su Jingzhen and Shen Yifeng also infused their pure energy into the g.


    Just as Su Jingzhen finished channeling his energy, Xuening gently tugged at him.


    Su Jingzhen looked puzzled, but seeing the apprehension and nervousness in Xuening’s eyes, he suddenly understood something.


    He nced at the crowd around them.


    At this moment, everyone’s attention was focused on Ouyang Mingyue’s Breaking Formation g.


    Su Jingzhen transmitted a message to Shen Yifeng.


    Then, the four of them seemingly casually took a step back.


    By now, the Breaking Formation g, charged with thebined power of all the Nascent Soul and Soul Formation stage cultivators, had reached its full capacity.


    All the spiritual runes on it were glowing brightly.


    Ouyang Mingyue’s expression grew extremely serious as he performed another hand seal.


    The Breaking Formation g slowly descended towards the edge of the Dantai Ruins, which was shrouded in gray mist.


    The g emitted an intense fluctuation, as if it contained an unstoppable force of destruction.


    Wherever the g passed, the gray mist at the edge of the Dantai Ruins parted instantly.


    The chaotic and restrictive energy within was being destroyed.


    “True to the reputation of the Alchemist Association, their foundation is indeed profound.


    With just a single strike, they’ve managed to disintegrate such a chaotic energy barrier,” someonemented.


    “Prepare yourselves! As soon as a passage appears, charge in immediately.


    Although the Dantai Ruins is vast, it’s merely the location of the Dantai family residence from back in the day.


    There must be treasures inside, but perhaps not many.


    Everything is firste, first served!”


    “There are no rules inside.


    If anyone tries to seize something, don’t hold back; be ruthless if necessary.”


    As Ouyang Mingyue’s Breaking Formation g unleashed its power, countless forces behind were instructing their disciples ordingly.


    It was clear that once they could enter the Dantai Ruins on arge scale, it would turn into a battlefield.


    After all, the number of people gathered this time was unprecedentedly high.


    One could even say that more than half of the Foundation Establishment and above cultivators in Qingzhou hade here.


    The mysterious patterns formed by the spiritual runes on the Breaking Formation g continued to emit sharp ck light, which was the light emitting from the Breaking Formation g!


    As the gray mist was dispelled, it clung to the surroundings like a persistent affliction.


    Under the illumination of the light, it waspletely annihted.


    The range of the Breaking Formation Light continued to expand, forcibly opening a passage through the gray mist.


    The pavilions and towers obscured by the mist seemed toe into view.


    Seeing this, the top forces gathered here acted without hesitation.


    They all moved!
