Forbidden Formation (1-3)
1105 - Forbidden Formation _1
Ye Qingtang had absorbed many arrows of extermination. The aura in her body had reverted to its original state so that her ability was hidden. Her aura now looked no different from that of an ordinary cultivator.
Especially after the small boy had enlightened her on how to enter the Tenth Heaven of Yin Yang Perfected Lord, Ye Qingtang’s aura was now near intangible.
“Are you ready?” Ye Qingtang looked down in the direction of the Yunxiao Sect.
“We are ready!”
Elder Bai Kui nodded.
When she heard that, Ye Qingang nodded and led both families in the direction of Falling Sky Valley.
The Formidable Heavens Dynasty and the Nine Nights Dynasty were far apart. However, the Yunxiao Sect was situated in the portion of the Formidable Heavens Dynasty that was near the external world, so it was not too bad.
Because Absolute Monarch of Heaven, Black and White Holy Son, and the other powerful cultivators of Central Mainland were holding the fort in Falling Sky Valley, the Eye of Extermination had not posed too great of a threat.
At that moment, in the public square of the Falling Sky Valley.
The two children were following Ye Qingtang closely. They were unwilling to leave her, even for a minute, and Ye Qingtang had no choice but to allow them to do so.
“Qingtang, these are…”
Perfected Xuanchen’s eyes were filled with astonishment. He looked first at Absolute Monarch of Heaven and the other powerful cultivators from Central Mainland, then at the Ye and Si Families.
Ye Qingtang did not hide their identities and introduced everyone.
“And these are friends from Central Mainland?”
Perfected Xuanchen and the group from the Falling Sky Valley looked at Absolute Monarch of Heaven, Yin Yang Child, Black and White Holy Son, and the others. They were somewhat shocked.
In the First Domain, Central Mainland was the mainland with the most flourishing martial culture. Also, Central Mainland’s land area was hundreds of times bigger than that of this mainland. A small country in Central Mainland probably had as much land area as this mainland.
“So you are a native of this mainland… how unexpected.”
A man in black armor looked at Ye Qingtang and laughed softly.
They had thought that Ye Qingtang, who had obtained the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix, was also a citizen of Central Mainland.
But it turned out that…
Ye Qingtang was from this mainland.
This realization surprised everyone.
After all, this mainland’s reputation for martial arts was beneath the notice of the powerful cultivators of Central Mainland. They had not expected that their longed-for inheritance of the Divine Phoenix would be obtained by Ye Qingtang, who was from this mainland.
To the others from Central Mainland, this was shocking. However, they did not discuss it further.
“How strange, why is the Ancient You Clan… attacking this mainland…”
Yin Yang Child looked at the Eye of Extermination in the void, his expression perplexed.
“Ancient You Ancient Clan?”
When he heard that, Perfected Xuanchen was taken aback.
“Don’t you know?” Yin Yang Child looked at Perfected Xuanchen and the other local residents. But on second thought, there was no reason for them to know about this, and he continued.
“The Ancient You Clan is one of the oldest clans in Central Mainland. They can trace their roots back for ten thousand years… In the past, an Emperor-level tyrant emerged in the Ancient You Clan. He was almost a demi-god, but unfortunately, ten thousand years later, the First Domain’s martial culture declined for some reason. The Heavenly Venerate-level powerful cultivators were all at their peak. Even the Ancient You Clan could not escape their fate and declined.”
“Haha, you may say that, but it was not just the Ancient You Clan that declined, but the entire First Domain…” said a black-robed old man from Central Mainland.

1106 - Forbidden Formation_2
“Ten thousand years ago, the First Domain was more powerful than even the Third Domain. However, the First Domain had a gap in its history. After the gap, the First Domain started to decline and became the most backward of the three domains in terms of martial culture,” the black-robed old man said.
“I think you had better be prepared. The Ancient You Clan is truly dominant within Central Mainland. Even the Heavenly Demon Bloodline Clan’s Domain Monarch and his kin are unwilling to provoke the Ancient You Clan… Once their Eye of Extermination appears, the entire area will become desolate. If the Ancient You Clan wishes to invade this mainland, then it will certainly be exterminated.” Yin Yang Child laughed coldly.
The Ancient You Clan’s perennial wars had extended to many of the more powerful mainlands in the First Domain, not to mention a low-level mainland like this one. Even many of the high-level mainlands in the First Domain had been exterminated and annexed by the Ancient You Clan. Now, the power of the Ancient You Clan was beyond estimation.
Rumor had it that the Ancient You Clan needed a mere half a month to exterminate a high-level mainland. To Yin Yang Child, Black and White Holy Son, and the others, if the Ancient You Clan wanted to exterminate this mainland, it would only take two or three days.
When they heard that, everyone in the Falling Sky Valley turned pale.
They had grown up in this mainland. No matter how backward it was in terms of martial culture or how low-level it was in the First Domain, it was special to them. How could they bear to see this mainland exterminated… their parents, relatives, siblings, and all their accompanying memories were tied to this mainland. They could not bear to abandon it…
But now, no matter how they wished to protect it, they were so frail in the eyes of the powerful ancient tribe of Central Mainland.
“How could this happen…” Perfected Xuanchen was slightly pale. After he learned from the powerful cultivators of Central Mainland about how powerful the Ancient You Clan was, Perfected Xuanchen was desperate.
“It is not inevitable.”
At that moment, Ye Qingtang suddenly spoke
up.
“Not inevitable?!” Yin Yang Child stared at Ye Qingtang. He lifted his brows slightly and laughed coldly. “What do you know. Do you know how powerful the Ancient You Clan is?”
Ye Qingtang flicked a glance at Yin Yang Child. This brat was asking for a good thrashing.
Fortunately, he was capable enough, and his father was fairly capable. Otherwise, his personality alone would have attracted enough enemies for him to have died a few times.
Although Yin Yang Child deserved a thrashing, at that moment, Ye Qingtang was not in the mood to chastise him.
The current situation was more urgent than beating up a brat.
“No matter how powerful the Ancient You Clan is, they are at most Yin Yang Perfected Lords in this mainland.” Ye Qingtang’s gaze swept across everyone as she succinctly pointed out the crux of the matter.
When they heard Ye Qingtang’s words, everyone was stunned.
Absolute Monarch of Heaven and the group of powerful cultivators from Central Mainland all looked thoughtful.
Ye Qingtang’s words gave them all an insight.
Before they came to this mainland, all of them were at least at the Arcane Supremacy stage of martial cultivation. But… once they entered this mainland, their powers were all suddenly suppressed to the level of Yin Yang Perfected Lord.
Further, this power of suppression was the strongest just after entering the mainland, and they could only achieve the Fourth Heaven of Yin Yang Perfected Lord. As time passed, the oppressive force slowly weakened, and the martial capabilities of the visitors entered the peak of Yin Yang Perfected Lord.
This also meant that no matter how strong they were, once they came to this mainland, they would at most possess the peak strength of a Yin Yang Perfected Lord. Even a god would be the same.

“So what. How many Yin Yang Perfected Lords does this mainland have when compared to the Ancient You Clan? They are on a completely different level. They will crush you just based on numbers.” Yin Yang Child was still unconvinced.
Ye Qingtang did not refute this point. Although Yin Yang Child was annoying, what he said was true.
The Ancient You Clan’s roots and culture went back at least ten thousand years. How could this mainland compare to them…
When he saw that Ye Qingtang did not speak further, Yin Yang Child was rather unused to no one arguing with him. In the end, he frowned and said, “I’m just saying that… perhaps there really is a solution. You don’t need to be despondent.”
“Yin Yang Child, you really have an irritating mouth.” The man in black armor glared at Yin Yang Child and smiled coldly.
Without his father’s powerful reputation, Yin Yang Child would probably have been beaten to death already for his irritating mouth.
“He’s right though,” Ye Qingtang said as she glanced at Yin Yang Child.
Ye Qingtang never deceived herself and others. This mainland was not sufficiently united, and it was unrealistic to expect it to unite against the Ancient You Clan’s invasion.
Now, it was impossible for Ye Qingtang to single-handedly withstand the invasion of the Ancient You Clan. However, if people on this mainland could unite together, there might still be a sliver of hope.
“Why haven’t you left this mainland?”
Ye Qingtang suddenly asked Absolute Monarch of Heaven and the others.
She thought that the powerful cultivators from Central Mainland would leave after obtaining the treasure from the Divine Phoenix’s inheritance. However, they unexpectedly remained in this mainland.
She did not understand why they were still here.
“Hmph, do you think we don’t want to leave?” The moment Yin Yang Child recalled the matter, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he snorted coldly.
“We don’t know which wretch performed the Forbidden Formation on this mainland. There is temporarily no way out.”
This mainland was under the Forbidden Formation?
A trace of shock surfaced in Ye Qingtang’s eyes.
For some reason, she suddenly thought of Ling Yan, whom she had not seen for some time.
“In that case, why don’t you stay and protect this mainland?” After a moment, Ye Qingtang laughed softly and asked.
“Impossible.” Yin Yang Child immediately shook his head. “This is beyond our abilities. We have no wish to provoke the Ancient You Clan.”
Ye Qingtang looked at Yin Yang Child and immediately nodded. She seriously and helplessly said, “In that case, I shall not force you… However, the Ancient You Clan is about to kill every living thing on this mainland. Since you can’t leave now, when the time comes, the Ancient You Clan will exterminate you together with this mainland. Don’t blame anyone then.”
The previously fearless and disdainful Yin Yang Child’s face immediately darkened at Ye Qingtang’s words.
How could he have overlooked this!!
“Haha…” The black-robed old man, who had obtained longevity from the Divine Phoenix, laughed. “What Miss Ye says makes sense. Ten thousand years ago, this mainland was created from the Spiritual Abode of Ancient You Clan’s most prominent and powerful figure. After the Dimension Wall cracked, the Ancient You Clan naturally came to this mainland to destroy everything and take back the Spiritual Abode. Now that we are situated in this mainland, we will probably be destroyed together with it.”
Based on the Ancient You Clan’s modus operandi, they would destroy everything once they arrived in this mainland. The Ancient You Clan would naturally ignore people like them. Now that they were unable to leave this mainland, they would probably be destroyed along with it if they did not fight back.

1108 - Two Little Monsters_1
The Central Mainland people were sullen. They originally came here to obtain the Divine Phoenix inheritance, but now, they failed to obtain it and were embroiled into such a huge crisis instead.
This was clearly forcing them to go through life and death with the people on this mainland!!
At this instant, they ever-so-dearly wanted to catch the person who laid the Forbidden Formation and trapped them in this place.
If they did not give that person a beating, their resentment would not be resolved!
The Central Mainland people looked at each other and saw despair in each other’s eyes.
Even if they wanted to leave now, it was impossible.
If they wanted to keep their lives, they could only fight together with this mainland.
The reaction of the masses fell into Ye Qingtang’s eyes.
A smile emerged in Ye Qingtang’s eyes discreetly, and she said, “Please rest in the valley for a period of time. You may also take time to think things through as it is not a small matter after all.”
She was not in a hurry at all; the ones who should be panicking were the powerful figures from the Central Mainland who were entrapped by the Forbidden Formation.
Yin Yang Child could only nod helplessly.
Subsequently, Perfected Xuanchen walked forward and personally brought Absolute Monarch of Heaven and the rest into the guest rooms of Falling Sky Valley. Afterward, he settled down the people from Ye Family and Si Family. On the other hand, Ye Qingtang brought the two little kids into the room she used when she was a disciple in Falling Sky Valley.
In the room, Ye Qingtang sat on the edge of her bed cross-legged and fully consolidated her Yin Yang Perfected Lord Eighth Heaven realm.
It was a pity that the attack of the Eye of Extermination had come to an end temporarily. Otherwise, if she could continuously absorb the energy of the arrows of extermination with her Devouring Bloodline… “Mo… ther…”
At this moment, the little boy walked to the bedside, and his big eyes blinked at Ye Qingtang.
Ye Qingtang immediately hugged the boy and pinched his nose as she chuckled. “What is it?”
“Mo… ther… Name…” The little boy pointed at himself expectantly. Did this little fellow wish to know his name?
Ye Qingtang looked at the little fellow, not knowing whether to laugh to cry. She had never thought of this before, but since this little fellow was so expectant…
Ye Qingtang propped her chin on her hand and pondered for a moment. A smile emerged in her eyes subsequently, and she looked at the little boy. “From now on, you’ll be called Little Luo Xue, alright?”
“Alright…”
Little Luo Xue nodded obediently.
Without waiting for Ye Qingtang to say anything else, the girl walked over as well and looked at Ye Qingtang expectantly.
“You’ll be called Little You Yun…” Ye Qingtang looked at the girl and said.
Little You Yun was delighted and nodded repeatedly.
Although Little Luo Xue and Little You Yun were born not long ago, they were extremely intelligent and understood human language without any teaching. Although their articulation was muffled, there was not much impediment when Ye Qingtang conversed with them.
“Mother…” Little Luo Xue suddenly crawled to Ye Qingtang’s side and patted Ye Qingtang’s calves with his hands. “… Amazing.” A laugh escaped Ye Qingtang’s mouth. Before she understood what this little fellow was doing, Little Luo Xue suddenly pointed at Ye Qingtang “uprightly” and then patted his own chest.
“I… I…”
Ye Qingtang looked at Little Luo Xue’s strange behavior and faintly threw a guess. “Could it be that you wish to be as powerful as me?”
Upon hearing that, Little Luo Xue nodded immediately, and his eyes shone brightly as though Ye Qingtang guessed what he wanted to say correctly. He clumsily grabbed Ye Qingtang’s skirt with on hand and Little You Yun’s hand in the other.
“Pro… Prosect…”
_______________________________________________________________________________________
1109 - Two Little Monsters_2
Ye Qingtang finally understood this time around.
This little fellow wanted to learn martial cultivation from her to protect her and Little You Yun.
As she saw the tiny Little Luo Xue’s “fearless” and “aspirational” manner, Ye Qingtang’s heart was about to melt.
“Alright. Let mother look at your natural gift.” Ye Qingtang grabbed Little Luo Xue’s hand, and a shocking force immediately enveloped Little Luo Xue in it.
“Spirit root…”
Suddenly, Ye Qingtang’s expression changed. Little Luo Xue was just born, but his body already possessed a spirit root at such a young age! After inspecting it closely, Ye Qingtang was even more stunned. This Little Luo Xue’s spirit root… was actually a purple spirit root…
It must be known that on this mainland, even a blue spirit root was as rare as a unicorn, much less a purple spirit root.
Ye Qingtang immediately inspected Little You
Yun.
As expected, Little You Yun also possessed a spirit root, and her spirit root was even more strange. It was actually pure white like a crystal clear bone; even Ye Qingtang could not tell its origin. However, Little You Yun’s spirit root clearly had an antique and ancient aura. After inspecting it for a while, Ye Qingtang’s body shivered uncontrollably.
Ye Qingtang was utterly speechless for a moment.
Out of the two little kids who were born less than one week ago, one had a superior purple spirit root while the other was even outrageous and possessed a pure white spirit root that Ye Qingtang had never seen before.
Perhaps, “monstrous talent” was insufficient to describe Little You Yun and Little Luo Xue.
Ye Qingtang immediately reorganized her thoughts and chuckled at Little Luo Xue. “Let… Mother teach you cultivation techniques then… However, it’s a little difficult and you must learn patiently.” As he heard Ye Qingtang, excitement etched all over Little Luo Xue’s face, and he nodded energetically.
Little You Yun also hurried over and had a diligent, studious look.
Ye Qingtang handed a set of cultivation techniques to Little You Yun and Little Luo Xue.
Initially, Ye Qingtang thought that Little You Yun and Little Luo Xue had never come into contact with cultivation techniques before and would require at least half a month to slightly comprehend the techniques.
Nonetheless, after a short hour, Ye Qingtang was completely astounded.
“Martial Qi Level One, First Heaven…”
“Martial Qi Level Two, Third Heaven”
“Martial Qi Level Three, First Heaven!”
In just this short one hour, Little Luo Xue’s martial realm actually advanced from zero to Martial Qi Level Three…”
Under the pretext of an absence of any contact with martial cultivation, he used only one hour to comprehend cultivation techniques and even advanced from Connate to the Martial Qi Level Three realm. If Ye Qingtang did not witness this personally, she would never believe it…
At the same time, a frightening martial aura exploded around Little You Yun. Ye Qingtang looked over, and she was even more stunned.
Little Luo Xue merely advanced to Martial Qi Level Three realm while Little You Yun was even more straightforward and advanced all the way to half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord realm…
For an ordinary little kid, it would require at least one year and more to be familiar with cultivation techniques, much less advancing in martial realm. Ye Qingtang previously thought that Little You Yun was the energy source of the extraordinary lady’s Spiritual Abode while Little Luo Xue was the reincarnation of Divine King Luo Xue. Perhaps because they were the reincarnation of talents, she thought that they would already be amazing, monstrous talents if they could understand the techniques in half a month’s time.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
1110 - Two Little Monsters_3
Yet, Little You Yun and Little Luo Xue gave Ye Qingtang a mind-blowing surprise.
Back then, after Ye Qingtang became a Holy Venerate, she had seen plenty of monstrous talents that were extremely gifted. However, compared to these two children before her… they were… “Mo… Mother… Too easy… Want… Want… even more powerful…”
Little Luo Xue walked to Ye Qingtang’s side and hugged her calf while staring at Ye Qingtang eagerly with bright eyes.
Ye Qingtang stared blankly at the young boy. IL11
The corner of Ye Qingtang’s lips twitched a little… This child… was not in the least bit… cute!
Standing aside, Little You Yun looked at Ye Qingtang and Little Luo Xue and smiled dreamily.
This scene was extremely heartwarming.
“Mo… Mother… Fa… Father?” Little Luo Xue looked at Ye Qingtang and asked with a baby voice.
None!
“Little Luo Xue, be good. Let’s continue cultivating.” Ye Qingtang saw that Little Luo Xue was becoming increasingly curious and immediately diverted his attention.
After hearing that, Little Luo Xue seemed to move away from the topic of his father and nodded at Ye Qingtang repeatedly.
Ye Qingtang attached high importance to Little Luo Xue and Little You Yun’s martial talent. These two kids had overly scary potential, and according to their potential… if these two kids could grow up healthily… they would become a true… God!
Deeply afraid that something would go wrong, Ye Qingtang even looked for Perfected Xuanchen.
Although Ye Qingtang was a Holy Venerate back then and had a few disciples, she was not well-versed with imparting martial skills and was way lousier compared to Perfected Xuanchen.
“Master, how is Xuanling Sect?”
After calling Perfected Xuanchen to the study room, she first asked this. Perfected Xuanchen replied. “Falling Sky Valley’s disciple, Mo Changkong, is the son of Xuanling Sect’s Elder Mo. As per your intention, Mo Changkong has already brought the Xuanling Sect masses into the valley, and there’s no issue with it.”
Ye Qingtang’s heart was finally at ease upon hearing that “Did you call me here for this?” Perfected Xuanchen asked curiously.
Nevertheless, Ye Qingtang did not explain and merely brought Little You Yun and Little Luo Xue to Perfected Xuanchen’s side for them to display their auras.
At this instant, the two kids were floating in the air and seemed to really enjoy this feeling.
“This…”
Perfected Xuanchen was extremely shocked and dumbfounded.
Little You Yun and Little Luo Xue were only born not long ago but had already reached this martial realm?!
Afterward, Perfected Xuanchen learned from Ye Qingtang that these two little kids only used one hour to be skillful at cultivation techniques, and one had advanced to Martial Qi Level Three while the other advanced to half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord…
“Unbelievable… Truly unbelievable!” Perfected Xuanchen was extremely agitated as elation filled his eyes.
Had he not witnessed it for himself, he would not believe it! “Master, although I am a Yang Lord, I am nothing compared to you in regard to imparting knowledge. I hope that you can guide them by their side.” Ye Qingtang looked at Perfected Xuanchen and said.
Perfected Xuanchen flashed a smile and said, “Qingtang, don’t worry. I will definitely do my best.”
With Perfected Xuanchen’s guidance on imparting skills, the two little kids improved at a rapid speed. In just two days, Little You Yun’s martial cultivation had already entered Yin Yang Perfected Lord Fourth Heaven while Little Luo Xue’s martial cultivation had entered the peak of Yin Yang Perfected Lord Second Heaven. It was a miracle.
