Chapter 379: Retreat


    ALL NOVELS'' LIST | Chapter List: Sect Master''s Immortal Journey


    Under the control of Wen Qiansun, the mountain protection formation exerted tremendous power, much stronger than before.


    There were too many demon beasts in the army, and despite everyone fighting fiercely, there was a feeling of being overwhelmed by the sheer number of enemies.


    Especially those few Second Rank demon beasts,bining their own group strength, put great pressure on everyone.


    Even the most powerful attack among them, Meng Zhang''s Golden Crow Lantern, which released Sr True me in the form of golden crows, was blocked.


    A giant toad controlled a group of thousands of demon toads.


    It opened its huge mouth and spat out a series of green bubbles. All the demon toads followed suit, spewing bubbles that gathered in the air, meeting Meng Zhang''s Sr True me.


    As the bubbles continued to merge, the Sr True me, appearing as golden crows, became trapped and unable to break free.


    With more and more bubbles joining, the power of the Sr True me was greatly diminished.


    Meng Zhang''s expression darkened. These demon toads could actually use their innate demon techniques to absorb Lunar True Qi from the heavens and earth and create this situation.


    As a result, the power of the Sr True me was undoubtedly greatly reduced.


    At first, the Foundation Building cultivators had the element of surprise when they entered the demon beast army, and they had the upper hand.


    But as the demon army reacted, especially when the Second Rank demon beasts rallied their group strength, it put significant pressure on all the Foundation Building cultivators, including Meng Zhang.


    The number of demon beasts was too overwhelming; even with all the Foundation Building cultivators giving their all, they couldn''t defeat this demon army.


    Inside the mountain protection formation, Wen Qiansun probably also noticed this situation.


    He manipted the formation again, and the protective light screen outside the mountain protection formation quickly spread outward.


    The Foundation Building cultivators present were all perceptive individuals, and they had experience working together, so they cooperated well.


    They covered each other and moved toward the light screen.


    Soon, including Meng Zhang, all the Foundation Building cultivators entered the light screen of the mountain protection formation.


    Then the light screen suddenly contracted, pulling all the Foundation Building cultivators inside the mountain protection formation.


    After entering the mountain protection formation, under Wen Qiansun''smand, they quickly reached their respective positions to assist him in controlling the formation.


    With several Foundation Building cultivators, the mountain protection formation''s power was fully unleashed, almost running at its full capacity.


    Although the demon army continued its fierce attacks, for a short period, the mountain protection formation could withstand it.


    Originally, the cultivators who were already inside the mountain protection formation took the opportunity to rest and recover.


    Cultivators like Zheng Chao, who were eager for battle, recovered a bit and actively joined the others in supporting the mountain protection formation.


    The demon army seemed tireless, but with the increased manpower, they could take turns resting and recovering, significantly improving theirbat endurance.


    Even though the vast number of demon beasts continued their attacks day and night, they couldn''t exhaust everyone anymore.


    The mountain protection formation had been meticulously maintained by Golden de Sect for hundreds of years and further strengthened by Qiaoshou Sect using precious materials.


    Given the current attack intensity of the demon army, it would be difficult for them to damage the foundation of the formation, even if they attacked for a year or more.


    The demon army was made of flesh and blood; they also grew tired, got injured, and bled.


    Having besieged this ce for a long time already and now facing reinforcements, their defensive capabilities were significantly increased.


    The demon army finally ceased its direct assault here and took the initiative to retreat.


    Of course, they didn''t withdraw too far; they remained within the range of the mountain protection formation''s power, encircling the area and keeping an eye on the human side''s movements from a distance.


    The battle temporarily ceased. Inside the mountain protection formation, all the cultivators could finally catch their breath and take a moment to rest. They were eager to recover theirbat strength as soon as possible.


    After a brief period of recovery, Meng Zhang felt good and called Zheng Chao over to inquire about the situation during his Foundation Building period.


    Zheng Chao''s ount was simr to the message delivered by the disciple, with no major discrepancies.


    When the demon army suddenly surged out from the Demon Wind Gobi and invaded Qiaoshou Sect''s territory, it was fortunate that Zheng Chao had just finished his seclusion, preventing significant harm.


    Meng Zhang was very satisfied with Zheng Chao''s timely response and decisive actions. He was indeed worthy of being the War Hall Hall Master, someone with such keen battlefield awareness and decisive decision-making skills.


    Now that Zheng Chao had be a Foundation Building cultivator and achieved great merit, he was fully qualified to be the new elder of Taiyi Sect.


    Once they repelled the demon invasion, upon their return to the sect, Meng Zhang would appoint Zheng Chao as a Taiyi Sect elder.


    After the demon army temporarily retreated, they didn''tunch a new attack, providing the cultivators inside the mountain protection formation with more time to rest.


    Taking advantage of the additional time, Meng Zhang inquired about the details of Zheng Chao''s Foundation Building period. At that time, due to the sect''s limitations, Zheng Chao didn''t even have a Lesser Foundation Building Pill while attempting Foundation Building. He only had a spirit pearl produced by a several-hundred-year-old fire spirit m.


    Back when Forest Spring Watch still existed, excellent disciples there used such spirit pearls to assist in Foundation Building afterpleting the Refining Qi stage.


    Although the effect of the spirit pearl was not even half that of a Lesser Foundation Building Pill, having something was better than having nothing.


    When Zheng Chao was attempting Foundation Building, hisbative nature led him to always be at the forefront during battles, putting forth his full effort.


    Every battle left him with many injuries.


    While these injuries had already healed, they umted and posed many hidden dangers to his body.


    During his Foundation Building attempts, his seemingly intact body nearly copsed under the impact of true qi due to these hidden dangers.


    Thankfully, Zheng Chao''s willpower was strong, and his foundation was solid. He not only survived this ordeal but also used the opportunity to discover and repair the hidden dangers in his body.


    Thus, he spent a long time during his Foundation Building process.


    Fortunately, the spirit pearl contained abundant and pure spiritual energy.


    Afterpletely refining the spirit pearl, Zheng Chao had enough reserves to spend over ten years before finally achieving Foundation Building sess.


    Taking this long to achieve Foundation Building was very rare in the Cultivation World.


    Although the time spent was much longer, the risks were greater, the benefits were also substantial.


    Zheng Chao''s foundation was incredibly solid, providing a strong base for his future cultivation.


    By repairing the hidden dangers in his body, he didn''t need to spend time consolidating his Cultivation Base and could directly join the battle...
