Chapter 759: Chapter 442: The Fourteenth Layer of the Everlasting Life Sutra (8k))_2 Chapter 759: Chapter 442: The Fourteenth Layer of the Everlasting Life Sutra (8k))_2 He swiftly commanded nine other Foundation Establishment fellow disciples to disperse again, appearing as ten Alpha Wood Soldiers. The final soldier also dissipated, revealing a thousand Qi Practitioners in the camp with slightly pale faces.
This is considered the ultimate transformation of the Shenmu Sect War Array, usually performed only when the outcome is being decided.
Chen Mobai’s performance startled Ji Dingjin, who was on the opposite side, almost prompting him to initiate his own Mountain and River Dragon Transformation.
Luckily, the Shenmu side was merely conducting training drills.
In the following days, Chen Mobai familiarized himself with the dispersal and assembly of the Alpha Wood Soldiers while attacking the light shield of the Mountain Shaker Peak.
Despite the lack of close combat between the two major sects, the fight was intense and accompanied by impressive light effects.
During this process, some escaped Qi Practitioners actually returned.
After all, many Loose Cultivators are experts at shifting allegiances. When they found out that Chen Mobai had slain two Foundation Establishment cultivators at their peak and greatly defeated the momentum of Mountain Shaker Peak, they believed that the Divine Wood Sect was bound to win this battle. They intended to take advantage of the situation and obtain more Spirit Stones.
However, they observed for a few days and, seeing Chen Mobai lead the Divine Wood Sect’s army to press on Mountain Shaker Peak, they shamelessly returned with various excuses.
Some claimed their wounds from the previous battle had just healed, others said they had chased enemies too far and only just found their way back…
Chen Mobai didn’t respond much to this.
He had utilized the Giant Wooden Armored Soldier several times and knew that the War Array’s strength increased with more participants.
Therefore, he welcomed all, and after the period of military training, he had divided the troops well. When these Loose Cultivators came back, they were dispersed among the teams of Foundation Establishment and true transmit disciples. Even if there were enemy spies, they could only supply power to the War Array.
Thanks to this, the number of cultivators under Chen Mobai finally exceeded three thousand, and they could produce three Giant Wooden Armored Soldiers.
Half a month quickly passed.
Ten giant green figures, wielding a whirlwind in the left hand and thunder in the right, appeared as incarnations of nature. They manipulated overwhelming energy and heavily struck towards the yellow mountain in the center.
Continuous booming sounds echoed as Chen Mobai keenly felt the spiritual energy of this region’s Spirit Vein become chaotic.
After all, the power of their War Array, apart from the cultivators, continually extracted spiritual energy from the surrounding heavens and earth.
This border area was the most barren place in both countries.
The campsite was only supplied by a Rank-2 Spirit Vein.
Under their relentless and continuous extraction, the power of the Spirit Vein would gradually shrink, eventually getting exhausted and turning into deserted lands.
However, neither the Divine Wood Sect nor Mountain Shaker Peak cared about this.
After all, as long as they could win this war, they could even obtain each other’s Rank-4 Spirit Vein. They would not even bat an eye for a Rank-2 or even a Rank-3 Spirit Vein.
“Indeed, it does resemble a turtle shell.”
Chen Mobai flew in mid-air, watching the encircled Mountain Shaker Peak camp besieged by Alpha Wooden Soldiers transformed through the thousands of men array. He nodded in agreement with the descriptions given by Zhou Wangshen and Xie Yuntian.
They had already attacked the sect for several rounds, but other than depleting some spiritual energy and Spirit Stones, they were simply unable to shake the rival sect’s tightly formed mountain-light barrier.
Knowing that they were outnumbered and without the presence of Xuan Qiao and Xuan Jinzhi, two Foundation Establishment cultivators at their peak, the Mountain Shaker Peak decided to hole up and wait, bundling themselves up in their Battle Array, refusing to move.
They held their ground, preventing The Divine Wood Sect from advancing.
After all, if they were to attack the Rock Country, the Mountain Shaker Peak could also strike at the Lei Nation. The act of bringing mutual destruction wouldn’t be resort to until absolutely necessary by either side.
However, it was different now.
“I will lead two thousand cultivators to block them here, and you will lead the rest to attack the Rock Country and Sky Country.”
Chen Mobai felt the current delay was undesirable, and thus discussed with Xie Yuntian and other Foundation Establishment cultivators of his sect, and decided upon a battle plan.
“Would two thousand cultivators be enough? Most soldiers in Mountain Shaker Peak are body cultivators if they decide to push through with all their might, I’m afraid they won’t be stopped.”
Zhou Wangshen pointed out a possible problem. He wanted Xie Yuntian to lead three hundred elite sword cultivators to cause havoc in the two countries, while leaving the rest behind.
This way, the sword cultivators penetrating the two countries could maintain mobility, while the remaining force would have enough suppressive power.
“It can work, but Brother Xie’s arm injury hasn’t healed yet, so we might need a different leader.”
“It’s only an arm, it won’t affect my abilities. However, if it’s just me, there might be risks. Disciple Chen, you need to send some other Foundation Establishment cultivators with me.”
After hearing this, Chen Mobai nodded and let Yu Lian and four other Foundation Establishment cultivators follow Xie Yuntian and three hundred sword cultivators into the two countries to conduct sabotage.
Before they left, Chen Mobai privately told Xie Yuntian that there was a Puppet Body of Master Fu in the Rock Country. If they encountered danger, they could go directly to the main base of Mountain Shaker Peak. Hearing this, Xie Yuntian became somewhat excited and more confident.
This was because Xie Yuntian’s loyalty to the sect was proven when he put his life on the line to block Xuan Qiao a few days ago. Chen Mobai believed he was trustworthy, hence he shared this confidential information with him.
