Beneath the spiritual light formation, countless chaotic vein energies were forced out of the earth, gathering toward the sky like starlight.
Above the flaming lake, Pei Lianxue held the Snow Jade Spirit Sword in her hand and lightly jumped down from Ye Anping's flying sword.
Between her toes and the surface of the water, an icy blue spiritual light spread out.
The bubbling lake water instantly froze into an ice block, turning into a flat surface for Pei Lianxue to stand on.
Pei Lianxue walked to the center of the lake, then looked up at Ye Anping on the flying sword, nodding. "I'm ready!"
"Let's begin."
"Hmm~"
Ye Anping nodded and flew toward the sky on his sword.
After watching her brother fly away, Pei Lianxue slightly raised her head with her eyes closed, relaxed her body, and mobilized her spiritual energy, gathering it at the fingertips of her left hand.
Holding the sword in front of her, she swiftly slid her left hand from the tip to the end of the sword, then raised it toward the sky.
An ice-blue spiritual mist erupted around her body.
In an instant, the entire lake was frozen into an ice lake. Even the fire burning around was enveloped in ice, just like ice lanterns with flames burning inside.
White mist filled the air as a column of ice-blue light shot up into the sky and directly hit the center of that huge formation on the zenith.
Rumble---
The shock wave caused the surrounding mountains to tremble, and rocks fell from the mountaintops.
The six Nascent Soul Elders who maintained the formation in the sky were all shaken by this burst of energy.
Master Tianxing, who was in the main knot of the formation, looked at this ice-blue pillar of light that suddenly rose from somewhere in the Jade Snow Peak with disbelieving eyes. "This is..."
Another Elder beside him asked, "Elder Tianxing, could it be... the Sword Ancestor?"
"No."
Elder Tianxing immediately denied it. He closed his eyes for a while, and when he opened them again, there was a golden spiritual light in his pupils.
This was an advanced far-sighted technique.
His gaze passed through the raging spiritual fire, bypassed towering peaks, traveled hundreds of miles, and arrived at the lake where Pei Lianxue was.
When he saw the four-and-a-half-foot-long sword covered with black ice in Pei Lianxue's hand, a trace of joy flashed across his old face, and he immediately shouted, "Everyone!! Change the formation!! I'll give her the main formation knot position."
The other five people were surprised at his words and looked toward Elder Tianxing.
They did not use far-sight techniques to see what was going on, but Elder Tianxing was the oldest among them and had the highest rank. Since he said he would give up the main knot position in the formation for that unidentified person, there must be a reason behind it.
The six Nascent Soul cultivators immediately changed their respective formation setups. The hexagonal array pattern that covered the sky above slowly changed, decomposed, and reorganized, creating an empty space in the center for Pei Lianxue.
In the middle of the lake, Pei Lianxue watched as the formation changed. She hurriedly followed Ye Anping's instructions, and made seven seals in order with her hands, and then transferred her spiritual energy to the formation through the Snow Jade Spirit Sword.
After completing this action, it was as if her consciousness suddenly shifted to a space of flowing light.
Now, the souls of the six Nascent Soul cultivators were by her side, surrounding her. This group of people, old and young, male and female, all turned their eyes toward her the moment she arrived among them.
A woman dressed provocatively frowned and asked, "Eh? Isn't this girl just a Foundation Building cultivator? Old man Tianxing, what are you thinking, asking the six of us to assist her in setting up a formation?"
"She's only a three spiritual root cultivator..."
"And still so young..."
"But she seems... very well-behaved."
Hearing those last words, the five people, including Elder Tianxing, turned to look at the female cultivator who had said Pei Lianxue was well-behaved.
"Why are you all looking at me? She is indeed quite well-behaved, don't you think?"
"..."
At this moment, Pei Lianxue was a little scared. She felt that she was being surrounded by a group of big shots and stood there in confusion, tucked her neck, and blinked her amber eyes.
Elder Tianxing sighed and then shifted his gaze to Pei Lianxue, saying, "Girl, don't just stand there. Can you support the formation? Just channel your spiritual energy through your sword into the formation and leave the rest to us."
Pei Lianxue paused, then shouted, "Yes, sir!!!"
"..."
The six people squinted their eyes, feeling that their ears couldn't take it anymore. They glared at her but didn't say much.
"Girl! Bring your spirit into the main knot, take your time, don't be too hasty, and don't be nervous."
"Okay!!!"
"..."
......
Meanwhile, on the other side.
In the snowy forest, Hu Tianyue, who was sitting cross-legged next to Yun Yiyi, Yun Xi, and Yun Jiujiu, saw the formation in the sky suddenly change and was quite puzzled for a moment.
When she saw the formation appear just now, she knew that it was probably Elder Tianxing who came with a few other people to put out the fire. But halfway through, the six-person formation setup was suddenly replaced by a seven-person formation. Not to mention, a beam of blue ice energy unexpectedly shot out of Jade Snow Peak.
"What is old man Tianxing up to?"
Hu Tianyue muttered to herself. Then, she turned her head to look at Zhang Yihe who was sitting idle. "Kid, go check under that ice-blue light beam. You have nothing else to do here anyway."
Zhang Yihe was stunned when he heard this and quickly shook his head, trembling as he said, "Elder Hu, this... I... I am injured."
"Where are you injured?"
"My foot, my foot hurts." Zhang Yihe quickly held his ankle and rolled around as if in pain.
"..."
Hu Tianyue raised her eyebrows and knew that this guy was probably worried about the danger, and he chickened out for fear of death. She then turned to "Feng Yu", who was holding Yun Jiujiu.
"Miss Feng, go and take a look. I'll take care of them here."
Feng Yu Die started to agree, but when she was about to say the words, she suddenly felt something was wrong and quickly pointed at her face, explaining, "I... I am not a miss."
"..."
Hu Tianyue frowned and glanced at the crotch of her pants with squinting eyes. "Oh, it's really small, then."
?
Feng Yu Die didn't understand and tilted her head in confusion. "Huh? What's really small?"
"Your birdie."
"? My birdie? Eh?"
"..."
Hu Tianyue rolled her eyes, then turned to look at Zhang Yihe again. "Zhang kid, go with Feng kid to take a look. If there is anything, come and tell me. I can't spare the time."
"Ah?" Zhang Yihe was stunned for a moment, glanced at Feng Yu Die, and then nodded. "Okay, Brother Feng~ You go first..."
Feng Yu Die, who was still wondering, "What birdie?", stood up, patted her butt, summoned the flying sword, and jumped on it.
Before she took off, she glanced at the cedar tree where Ye Anping had been staying. After confirming that he did not give any sign, she ascended her flying sword and rushed toward the lake where Pei Lianxue was now.
