After Dao Zun fled Earth, he stood on the galaxy spaceship, looking at the azure planet below, his mood extremely complex.
Consider him, Dao Zun, a powerful cultivator who had condensed a second-grade top-tier Golden Core and cultivated it to its peak. Even in the Wu Shan Star Domain, he was one of the most formidable Golden Core cultivators. Aside from a select few first-grade Golden Core prodigies, when had he ever lost?
Yet, on this planet, which he viewed as a desolate wasteland, he had been forced to flee in a sorry state twice.
"This entire expanse of the starry sky is filled with seven-colored auspicious light, guiding cultivators from all over the Milky Way to Earth. It seems this Zi Wu True Immortal is no benevolent soul either."
Dao Zun surveyed his surroundings. As far as his eyes could see, there was only magnificent, resplendent seven-colored auspicious light. It was peerlessly beautiful, yet Dao Zun perceived an endless aura of blood and slaughter within it.
With a moment's thought, Dao Zun understood Zi Wu True Immortal's intentions. The place of opportunity emerged very slowly, and this seven-colored auspicious light guided everyone to Earth. Clearly, the place of opportunity would only open after most people had gathered on Earth.
"Since that is the case, I shall wait patiently!"
Dao Zun was a man of great patience. Even though he considered this a profound humiliation in his life, he still adjusted his mindset and began to wait...
In just one month, Dao Zun awaited the first treasure-hunting team to arrive on Earth.
"Could this be Brother Wen Hou?"
Dao Zun detected a familiar aura within the team and flew out from the galaxy spaceship, greeting them with a smile.
A middle-aged man dressed in opulent attire emerged from the galaxy spaceship. He wore a white jade golden crown and a golden battle armor. His eyes were deep and sharp, and just meeting his gaze made one feel immense pressure.
Behind him followed seven men clad in silver armor.
"Dao Zun?"
The man in opulent attire, upon seeing the one-armed Dao Zun, could not help but frown slightly. Dao Zun was one of the people he least wished to encounter, and he hadn't expected to meet him at this place of opportunity.
Although his combat power was not inferior to Dao Zun's, and he had the assistance of the Seven Sons of Wen Hou, allowing him to completely suppress Dao Zun, Dao Zun's life-saving techniques were too potent. Even first-grade Golden Core cultivators found it difficult to kill him, making him exceptionally troublesome.
"The place of opportunity is right before us. Why are you still waiting here, Dao Zun?"
Wen Hou glanced at the azure planet in the distance and asked.
"It's not that I'm willing to wait, but my strength is insufficient, so I can only wait here for a partner." Dao Zun said with a look of helplessness.
"Insufficient strength? Has this place of opportunity already been occupied by someone? However, among the Golden Core cultivators in the Wu Shan Star Domain, I don't believe there are many who could make you, Dao Zun, back down?"
Wen Hou added with a hint of sarcasm.
Dao Zun paid no mind to the sarcasm and, with some reservations, explained the situation on Earth.
"The natives on this planet are that powerful? I don't believe it!"
Wen Hou snorted coldly and flew towards Earth with his subordinates.
The opportunity was right before him. If he didn't investigate personally and believed Dao Zun's fabricated tales, then he, Wen Hou, would truly be a fool.
Watching the receding figures of Wen Hou and the Seven Sons of Wen Hou, a slight smile appeared on his rough face.
Wen Hou had also condensed a second-grade top-tier Golden Core and cultivated it to its peak. Furthermore, he practiced the Way of the Sword, renowned for its offense, making him as strong as Dao Zun, and even superior to Dao Zun in terms of offensive power.
Moreover, his subordinates, the Seven Sons of Wen Hou, were all formidable individuals. Combined with the Seven Kill Formation taught by Wen Hou, the combat strength of the Seven Sons of Wen Hou was not much weaker than Dao Zun's.
Even so, Wen Hou could not possibly contend with that monster, Zhang Fan.
As expected, in less than an hour, Wen Hou, who had left with such imposing momentum, returned to Earth's outer space with a few subordinates, a look of helplessness on his face.
"Brother Wen Hou, how did it go?"
Dao Zun quickly stepped forward, his smile carrying a hint of schadenfreude.
"What Dao Zun said is indeed true. That native is even more powerful than I imagined. I followed the seven-colored auspicious light to its source, but before I could even see the opportunity, I fell into an illusion."
"Originally, I intended to break through with brute force, and together with the Seven Sons, we would shatter that illusion. However, unexpectedly, this triggered another offensive formation. We could only barely resist and spent most of the day to escape."
"Illusion formation?"
Dao Zun's smiling face immediately stiffened. He had originally thought Wen Hou would be beaten back by Zhang Fan, but he hadn't expected that Wen Hou would retreat in a sorry state without even seeing Zhang Fan.
"I never imagined that Senior Master Zhang's attainment in formations would be so profound. It must be that idiot Wen Xin; otherwise, how could Senior Master Zhang possess such a powerful formation disk to set up formations?"
Dao Zun cursed inwardly. Dao Zun had seen the formations Zhang Fan set up on the island in the lake; they couldn't stop him at all.
But now, on the snowy plain, he had set up such a powerful formation. Aside from the explanation that the sect leader of Wen Xin Sect provided equipment, Dao Zun could think of nothing else.
"Since that is the case, we can only wait again."
Dao Zun was not impatient. Having suffered two significant losses at Zhang Fan's hands, he had already lost some confidence. Without overwhelming power, he would not easily set foot on Earth again.
As time passed, treasure-hunting teams continuously arrived. One by one, they attempted to break through the formations. Even dozens of Golden Core cultivators joined forces, bombarding the formations from outside their coverage, attempting to break them with brute force...
However, they lacked any experts skilled in formations among them and couldn't even deduce the foundation of the formation. They were all repelled by the illusion formation.
After more than half a year, more than twenty galaxy spaceships had gathered in Earth's outer space, with the number of Golden Core cultivators exceeding one hundred. Such a lineup could be described as luxurious.
Although their goal was to compete for opportunities, and they were rivals to each other, at this moment, they were extremely united, all focused on breaking through that formation.
After all, regardless of anything else, they were cultivators from the Wu Shan Star Domain, and being blocked by a formation set up by a native was indeed quite embarrassing.
"I have already contacted True Lord Tian Hua. He will arrive in two months. As long as True Lord Tian Hua takes action, that illusion formation can be broken with ease!"
Dao Zun delivered good news to everyone.
"True Lord Tian Hua?"
"If True Lord Tian Hua makes a move, that formation will surely not be able to stop us!"
Upon hearing the name Tian Hua True Lord, the cultivators present were invigorated, their confidence soaring, and they eagerly awaited True Lord Tian Hua's arrival.
The reason for this was not that True Lord Tian Hua's strength was exceptionally great. In terms of combat power alone, True Lord Tian Hua was only considered above average among their group of Golden Core cultivators, similar to the deceased sect leader of Wen Xin Sect.
However, True Lord Tian Hua's achievements in the Way of Formations were publicly recognized throughout the Wu Shan Star Domain as the foremost below the Nascent Soul stage.
True Lord Tian Hua primarily cultivated the Way of Formations. The Six Paths Golden Core Dao Mark he inscribed before condensing his Golden Core was a mark of the Way of Formations.
Besides the Way of Formations, True Lord Tian Hua was also skilled in deduction, capable of predicting good fortune and avoiding disaster. However, True Lord Tian Hua was naturally detached and disliked conflict. Many cultivators assumed True Lord Tian Hua would not involve himself in this affair.
Hundreds of Golden Core cultivators loitered in Earth's outer space, their hearts filled with fighting spirit, quietly awaiting True Lord Tian Hua's arrival.
