Chapter 567: The Fate-Defying Robe, Mount Sumeru’s Grand Illusory Sky Formation! (4)
The Divine Wood Great Formation had taken a long time to complete.
From the moment Ling Zixiao started preparing to now, three years had passed.
Though progress was slow due to physical reasons,
The workload was indeed enormous.
During these three years, Ling Zixiao mostly spent her time setting up this formation.
“Indeed, if my husband is at leisure, you may watch here.”
...
Ling Zixiao’s beautiful eyes shone brightly as she spoke.
The reason the Divine Wood Great Formation took so long was that, under Hong Lian’s guidance, her mastery of the Formation Path improved a lot, and she optimized and adjusted many aspects of the Great Formation.
It could be said that this Divine Wood Great Formation was the pinnacle of her achievements.
Now that the Great Formation lacked only the final step, she naturally hoped that Lu Changsheng would watch her masterpiece and share her joy and happiness.
“I’d be more than happy.”
This was the first time Lu Changsheng saw such an expression in Ling Zixiao’s eyes.
He knew that she truly loved the path of formation from the bottom of her heart.
Now that the Great Formation was about to be completed, she hoped to receive his recognition and praise.
“Good.”
Ling Zixiao nodded and began the final step of the Great Formation.
Although it was the last step, under Lu Changsheng’s watch, Ling Zixiao still took a whole day and night to complete it.
At this moment, her elegant face was full of exhaustion, but her eyes showed no signs of tiredness; in fact, they sparkled with vitality.
“My husband, the Divine Wood Great Formation has been successfully completed, ranking as an almost Third Rank, and as long as the Spirit Vein of Bi Yun Peak advances three ranks, the Great Formation will also be promoted to Third Rank!” Ṝ₳ɴ𝘰ꞖΕꞨ
“But even as it stands, an almost Third Rank, no Nascent Soul Immortal could break through, and would even risk getting trapped inside, unable to extract themselves.”
Ling Zixiao’s face was full of joy as she explained the situation of the Great Formation to Lu Changsheng.
The core of the entire Great Formation was the Mount Sumeru Tree King, possessing the Divine Skills of a Mount Sumeru Cave Heaven, capable of creating a Mount Sumeru Illusory Realm.
The Illusory Realm was connected to the world of the Mount Sumeru Tree King’s Cave Heaven and could draw anyone from the Illusory Realm into the Cave Heaven to suppress them at will.
“What strength is required to break through this Mount Sumeru Illusory Realm?”
Lu Changsheng, looking at the Mount Sumeru Tree King flowing with gold, amidst the array flags beside the mountain peak, asked aloud.
“Below Core Formation, there’s no chance of breaking through, only a Nascent Soul Immortal can break the Illusory Realm!”
“But with the presence of the Mount Sumeru predecessor, as long as the Nascent Soul Immortal doesn’t break the Illusory Realm in the first instance, they can be suppressed within the Cave Heaven!”
Ling Zixiao said so.

She had seen the Mount Sumeru Tree King suppress Hong Lian.
She knew that even a Nascent Soul Cultivator would be helpless within the Mount Sumeru Cave Heaven.
In other words, unless faced with a Nascent Soul attack, a Nascent Soul Immortal coming to Bi Lake Mountain was on a path to doom.
“Zixiao, open the Great Formation, I’ll enter the formation to take a look.”
Lu Changsheng stroked his chin, curious in his heart, wanting to experience this so-called Mount Sumeru Illusory Realm.
“Just a moment, my husband.”
Ling Zixiao, dressed in a blue gown, graceful and dignified, softly spoke to Lu Changsheng.
Then, with a wave of her hands forming gestures and manipulating the Array Plate, she cried out: “Open!”
In an instant, a crystalline luster flowed around the Mount Sumeru Tree King, shafts of divine radiance spilled out, giving the Great Formation that enveloped Bi Lake Mountain a hint of pale golden sheen.
The blue and gold glows melded together, making the whole of Bi Lake Mountain seem semi-ethereal.
Following that, Lu Changsheng saw a hazy mist of gray fog emerge, shrouding and enveloping him.
“This is the Mount Sumeru Illusory Realm!?”
The very next moment, Lu Changsheng found himself no longer atop Bi Yun Peak.
He appeared in a place where all sides were shrouded in a hazy and chaotic gray mist.
“Slash!”
Lu Changsheng slapped his Storage Bag, and the True Yang Five Elements Sword appeared in his hand. Countless seven-colored Spiritual Lights burst forth, slashing towards the murky fog ahead.
“Puff puff puff—”
The Seven Luminaries Sword Qi flashed wildly, fierce and domineering, causing the fog to churn tumultuously and continuously disperse.
But behind the fog were layers upon layers of more mist.
“Hmm!?”
Lu Changsheng’s brow furrowed slightly as he looked at the gray fog ahead and continued to unleash several sharp sword lights.
But behind that, there seemed to be an endless amount of gray fog, which was impossible to break through.
“My lord, how goes it?”
At that moment, Ling Zixiao’s figure also appeared in this world. She stood with dignified grace, her face elegant, asking with a smile.
“Zi Xiao, is this really an illusion?”
Lu Changsheng inquired.
Although Ling Zixiao had told him that this was an illusory realm derived from the power of Mount Sumeru,
he felt as if he had teleported through a void, entirely in a different world.
“Yes, this Mount Sumeru Illusory Realm is half-real, half-false. All attacks are distributed over Bi Lake Mountain’s Azure Water Sky Clearing Great Formation, and a portion is resolved by the senior Mount Sumeru.”
“Given enough Spiritual Energy to sustain it, this realm can evolve all sorts of illusions!”
Ling Zixiao, holding an Array Plate, spoke out loud.
With her words, she manipulated the plate to give a simple demonstration.
Before them, the hazy world began to change, transforming into a wasteland with forests and even figures appearing.
However, it lasted only for a brief moment before Ling Zixiao let the scenery dissipate, returning to a murky chaos.
Because this ability currently primarily consumed Mount Sumeru’s Mana, it was very draining on it.
“Mount Sumeru.”
Lu Changsheng nodded, looking at the illusion before him, and called out into the void.
Immediately, Mount Sumeru replied, and a golden gateway of light appeared before them.
Lu Changsheng and Ling Zixiao stepped through the light portal and entered within Mount Sumeru Cave Heaven.
“This Divine Wood Great Formation is truly wondrous. With this Great Formation in place, even if many more try to enter Bi Lake Mountain, it is but moths to the flame, hurling themselves into a trap,” Lu Changsheng looked at the familiar scenery, took a deep breath, and remarked with a sense of relief.
He knew that the greatest effect of this Divine Wood Great Formation was its fearlessness against group assaults.
If a large force were to attack Bi Lake Mountain, and hundreds of Cultivators were to come, as long as he operated the Divine Wood Great Formation, he could trap all of them within the Mount Sumeru Illusory Realm.
Then he could either slay or suppress them one by one into the Mount Sumeru Cave Heaven.
“My lord, it is no longer appropriate to continue calling this formation the Divine Wood Great Formation. Why don’t you give it a new name?”
Ling Zixiao looked at Lu Changsheng and suggested with a smile.
“Since this Great Formation is set up by you, Zi Xiao, it’s only natural for you to name it,” Lu Changsheng said with a casual smile.
“In that case, how about we call it… the Mount Sumeru Fantasy Heaven Great Formation!”
Ling Zixiao suggested after a moment of contemplation.
