C411 Mysterious Formation Diagram Requesting Firepower(1)
Outside the gates of the Profound Heaven Sect, two experts at the Martial King level had been inside for about half an hour. While many believed they wouldn't come out again, some held a different view—after all, these were Martial King experts.
Just then, the protective array around the Profound Heaven Sect began to dissipate in a rainbow of colors, causing more people to grow suspicious. Could it be that Woo Zhengyang had miscalculated this time? Was the array not strong enough to trap two Martial King experts? If so, what would become of the Profound Heaven Sect, and what fate awaited Woo Zhengyang?
As speculation ran rampant, two figures emerged from the gate, soaring into view. All eyes were on them—they were indeed the two Martial King experts. However, they were now lifeless bodies.
Woo Zhengyang's undefeated legend remained unbroken, and his fearsome reputation grew even more formidable. Slaying two Martial Kings was an unimaginable feat for many cultivators, but Woo Zhengyang had done it. This was a legend on the rise, destined to reach heights unknown.
"Those who trespass into the Profound Heaven Sect shall die!" Woo Zhengyang proved his words with the deaths of the two experts, reinforcing the sect's might once again. But after this event, would the Profound Heaven Sect remain at peace?
No one can predict the outcome, but everyone knows that the stronger Woo Zhengyang becomes, the more intriguing his secrets are. On the path of martial arts, especially when facing bottlenecks, many are willing to take risks and push their limits.
The Profound Heaven Sect found it challenging to remain undisturbed. Nevertheless, they weathered another storm, which was a cause for celebration among its members. Additionally, two martial arts experts brought valuable gifts to the sect. Although the martial techniques from their Hidden Heaven Bags were of little use to Woo Zhengyang, they were incredibly beneficial to others.
That night, the Profound Heaven Sect held a true celebration. After the feast, Nie Fengyu announced that everyone in the sect would enter a period of intense training. With the mountain protecting array now in place, the sect was no longer in a precarious position. It would take a coalition of dozens of martial experts to breach their defenses.
Their focus now was on training and self-improvement. The goal was to produce a martial expert, allowing the Profound Heaven Sect to reemerge into the world without needing to isolate themselves.
Woo Zhengyang also went into seclusion, but not for intense training. While the mountain protecting array had made the sect much safer, it wasn't foolproof. Woo Zhengyang's task was to enhance his skills in array formation, striving to perfect and further strengthen the sect's defenses.
Time flew by, and another month of calm passed for the Profound Heaven Sect. However, it wasn't entirely peaceful. Throughout the month, experts at the Martial King level occasionally appeared outside the sect. Some even attacked the mountain-protecting array, with up to four Martial Kings testing its strength at once.
The array remained unbroken, and no one from the Profound Heaven Sect showed themselves, just as Woo Zhengyang had declared—they had sealed the mountain. Everyone knew that a sect would only seal itself off as a last resort. While it wasn't exactly surrendering, it was a form of compromise.
By now, it was clear to everyone that Woo Zhengyang had no other options. The mountain-protecting array was the sect's last line of defense. If it fell, so would the Profound Heaven Sect and Woo Zhengyang. Yet, everyone also understood that this array was no ordinary barrier. Even a combined strike from four Martial Kings didn't cause a ripple, making it incredibly difficult to breach.
People from the outer areas of the Profound Heaven Sect began to slowly retreat. However, many chose to stay in Profound Heaven Town, fearing they might miss the sect's downfall or resurgence. Everything seemed to return to calm, but it wasn't as peaceful as it appeared on the surface.
Strangers from other countries and regions continued to arrive in Profound Heaven Town. Some came to explore, while others wanted to witness the place that had created so many miracles.
Some people come to the bustling Profound Heaven Town for a living, making it a lively marketplace distinct from Heavenly Martial City. Others seem to wander without a clear purpose, much like their seemingly low abilities that mask their true strength, known only to themselves.
One of the most famous stories is about a kindly-looking old woman with white hair who sold dumplings in the town for a month. One day, a mysterious figure cloaked in black descended from the sky, and to everyone's surprise, the old woman soared into the air, revealing herself to be a Martial King.
How many Martial Kings, like this old woman, are hidden in Profound Heaven Town remains unknown, but their intentions are clear to all. The No Life Sword, a King Rank weapon, is highly coveted, as is the Ice Crystal Fire Hall. Yet, it is Woo Zhengyang, with his many secrets, who is the true treasure in the eyes of these Martial Kings.
While the outside world is in turmoil, the Profound Heaven Sect remains unusually calm. Initially, the attack on the mountain protecting array unsettled many, but over time, everyone grew accustomed and focused solely on their training. The rewards of hard work and dedication to their practice are always evident.
