Chapter 179: Fights (First Part)

In order to set up the formation, besides practicing with disciples, some props are needed for the formation. One commonly used prop is the formation flag.

Starting a few years ago, Meng Zhang began preparing in advance and commissioned the Earthfire Sect to refine some formation flags. His idea at the time was that the cultivation base of Taiyi Sect disciples was generally not high, so they needed to form a formation to enhance their combat power. Later, after Tian Li became an official tool refiner, the sect also assigned him the task of refining formation flags. Tian Li naturally took on the task happily as it allowed him to complete sect missions, gain contributions, and improve his own refining skills. Over the years, Taiyi Sect has accumulated a considerable number of formation flags.

For this battle, Meng Zhang used most of the flags and prepared a total of sixteen formation flags. Sixteen carefully selected disciples were responsible for handling the flags, serving as key nodes in the formation. Cultivators surpass ordinary people in both intelligence and physical fitness. Under Meng Zhang's supervision, the disciples, who were pushed to their limits, quickly familiarized themselves with the general operation of the formation. They also recorded all the intricate changes within the formation.

The group led by Yang Xueyi consisted mainly of elite Taiyi Sect disciples and served as the main force in this operation. The disciples led by Zhang Hantao were not entirely new to the sect; some of them had joined Taiyi Sect several years ago. Of course, Zhang Hantao was unaware that these old disciples were actually spies from surrounding forces such as Qiaoshou Sect and Golden Blade Sect, who had infiltrated Taiyi Sect.

Ironically, Twin Success Valley has already been destroyed, yet the spies from Twin Success Valley who infiltrated Taiyi Sect are still wholeheartedly playing their roles. After a month of training and multiple drills, both groups of disciples have gained a preliminary understanding of the Base Formation method, learned to cooperate, and adapted to the changes within the formation. At least they appeared decent and had some combat capability.The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.

However, during this month, these cultivators were pushed to their limits by Meng Zhang's rigorous training. Even with the robust physique of cultivators, many of them found it difficult to keep up. After Meng Zhang publicly executed one disciple who was being deceitful, everyone finally became obedient. While Meng Zhang cursed at them, he intensified their training.

Three days before the battle, seeing that they had reached a passable level, Meng Zhang stopped the training and allowed everyone to rest and recuperate, making good use of the time to restore their energy and prepare for the upcoming major battle.

Green Bamboo Mountain has always had a close relationship with Flying Swan Sect. Many years ago, they paid a high price to obtain two discarded mountain-pressing tablets from Flying Swan Sect. The mountain-pressing tablets were as heavy as mountains and could not be operated without special secret techniques. Flying Swan Sect would naturally not teach Green Bamboo Mountain the secret technique for refining the mountain-pressing tablets. As for the various changes in the Four Directions Subduing Mountain Formation, it was Flying Swan Sect's highly confidential information, and Green Bamboo Mountain did not even dare to think about it.

The founder of Green Bamboo Mountain was once an Inner-Sect Disciple of Flying Swan Sect, leaving behind many legacies and connections for future generations. The cultivation techniques inherited by Green Bamboo Mountain were also closely related to Flying Swan Sect, with many origins and connections.

The senior cultivators of Green Bamboo Mountain had been exploring for a long time and sought help from many friendly Flying Swan Sect cultivators. They finally managed to operate the two mountain-pressing tablets using some crude methods and even created a shoddy version of the Four Directions Subduing Mountain Formation, which only had two cardinal directions.

Meng Zhang was not intimidated by the formation created by Green Bamboo Mountain, unlike the other Foundation Building cultivators. He had already used his Divine Ability, Deception Breaking Eye, to carefully observe the opponent's formation. After reaching the Foundation Building stage, the ability of his Divine Ability, Deception Breaking Eye, had greatly improved. Compared to when he was in the Refining Qi stage, it was like the difference between heaven and earth.

Meng Zhang was not a professional Formation Master, and his knowledge of the formation path was not as good as that of Taiyi Sect's disciple, Wen Qiansun. However, his vision and experience were not inferior, and he quickly saw through the truth and falsehood of Green Bamboo Mountain's formation.

"It's just a strange-looking formation that doesn't resemble anything, and it's a far cry from the Four Directions Subduing Mountain Formation. Green Bamboo Mountain is really out of ideas to bring out such a thing," Meng Zhang said.

Everyone thought that Meng Zhang was belittling the opponent to boost the morale of their own side. However, they did not know that Meng Zhang was telling the truth.
