Chapter 897: Chapter 897: Turning the Tide
In the vastness of space, ten disciples of the Haotian Gate at the peak of the Cave Heaven Realm were swiftly setting up an enormous Formation.
This was a kind of spell that reversed heaven and earth, a technique that required the aid of a grand ritual to initiate.
After several days, the Formation was finally ready.
The ten disciples gathered together, exchanging looks with one another.
“Everyone, have you made your decision?” Charade glanced at the group and asked.
“We have decided!”
“What’s there to hesitate about? All we need to do is drag the entire Earth into another Spiritless Space-Time, and that Ji Yang won’t be able to grow. If he fails, we can seize this opportunity to break through to the Fusion Cave Realm, thus entering the inner sect.”
“I’ve been stuck at the pinnacle of the Cave Heaven Realm for many years. If I don’t break through, I’ll just reach the end of my lifespan. This is my chance; I have to go for it!”
“Sigh, it’s the same for me.”
“It’s similar for all of us. Advancing from the Cave Heaven Realm to the Fusion Cave Realm is incredibly difficult, and we don’t have many options.”
Charade then looked at the Array Master Wu Qidi and asked, “What do you say?”
With a bitter smile, Wu Qidi replied, “What else can I say? I’m in the same boat as them. I’ve delved into the ways of the Formation for so many years, yet I can’t even breach the two Formations he’s set up. It’s not that my skills in the Formation are lacking, but my cultivation is insufficient. If I were in the Fusion Cave Realm, breaking his Formations would be easy. I’ve thought it through; I must take this gamble. Besides, you’ve designed it well; pulling him completely into a Spiritless Space-Time, I refuse to believe he can develop smoothly!”
Charade burst into laughter, “Well said. Our design modifies all the methods he could rely on, preventing him from using them. I refuse to believe he can still grow under these circumstances.”
Pang Bojie said seriously, “Let’s not be careless. Our cultivation is low, so we’ve only managed to modify certain things. If he really reaches his goal, we’ll all be finished.”
Everyone’s expressions grew solemn.
At this moment, an elder said, “I too came from the mundane world. The path to success isn’t easy. Without major opportunities, many can only develop at low levels for a lifetime. When we designed this, he was just a small figure. To become at least a figure of city level without any assistance, there’s a slim chance. I have confidence in this matter.”
Charade said, “The ten of us have put everything we can into it—knowledge, skills, cultivation. Everyone, let’s invest everything this time. If he wins, all these become his, but if we win, this world is ours. Moreover, we can quickly break through thanks to it.”
“You don’t need to say that. The more you invest, the more you gain. Since we’re going all out, we must invest all we can. Besides, I’ve borrowed some to invest.”
At this point, everyone laughed, for this was a grand gamble. Everyone had staked their futures and fates, naturally putting everything on the line.
Charade laughed heartily, “The more we invest, the higher the target he needs to reach, and the greater our odds of victory. He has no choice but to confront this. I asked my teacher to help me procure this item.”
As he presented the item, everyone’s eyes lit up. It was a Compulsion Talisman, an object that required a substantial amount of points to exchange for. This thing had a compelling effect on those with low cultivation. Whether the opponent agreed or not, they would be engulfed by a powerful will. In other words, once it was activated, even if Ji Yang didn’t want to, he couldn’t refuse. He must undergo the reversal of heaven and earth.
Seeing everyone’s expressions, Charade said, “Alright, everyone, begin channeling everything you have into the Formation. I will deploy the Talisman and activate the Formation. Even if our entire beings get swept into the gamble because of the Formation.”
“Then let’s begin!”
Everyone, for the sake of their future and fate, grew even more solemn.
