"Junior, stop!"
Sect Head Ku Yu's face was stern, his entire body shimmering wildly with white radiance. Surging Primordial Spirit power, vast as the ocean, swept forth. As he attacked, he merely raised his hand slightly and gave a gentle push. Instantly, the surging Primordial Spirit power rushed towards Gu Qingfeng from all directions like a tsunami.
Everyone could sense the immense power contained within this move.
What was astonishing and unbelievable was that Gu Qingfeng simply plucked a single zither string. A note rang out, clear as a bell, and in that instant, the tsunami-like Primordial Spirit power was inexplicably shattered and dispersed into nothingness.
Ku Yu was greatly shocked. Without hesitation, his figure flashed, arriving instantly. As he raised his hand, his palm descended like a mountain, Primordial Spirit power containing various profound divine abilities pressing down with immense force.
Yet Gu Qingfeng still did not dodge or evade. His left hand continued to strum the zither, his right hand resting on the guqin. He plucked a string once more. With a *bang*, Ku Yu grunted and was sent staggering backward.
At the same time, the other four Venerable Elders also attacked. Gu Qingfeng flicked the zither strings with the back of his hand. All four Venerable Elders grunted and were forced back.
Witnessing this scene, the onlookers were filled with utter shock.
None of them could understand. When Gu Qingfeng plucked the strings, it wasn't even a melody or tune, nor did he employ any spiritual power. Why did the sound of the zither force the five Venerable Elders back? One must know, each of these five Venerable Elders was a Daozun with a Primordial Spirit at the Perfection Realm!
"Form the array!"
*Whoosh—* Ku Yu and the other four Venerable Elders stood in mid-air, their hands forming seals. Immediately, five streams of profound, colorful light rapidly enveloped Gu Qingfeng. The five colors, akin to the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, transformed and evolved. Within, winds rose and clouds swirled, lightning flashed and thunder roared.
Anyone of a certain age almost certainly knew this was the famous Five-Color Transformation Array of Wuse Mountain.
The five colors represented the five elements. Once the array was formed, the five elements would undergo endless transformations, capable of moving the Great Natural Order itself.
This movement was not the mere imposing aura contained within colored spirits, but genuine power—the power of the transformations of the Great Natural Order's five elements.
"Disciples of Wuse Mountain, heed my command! All enter your positions within the Five-Color Array!"
Ku Yu's hands formed intricate seals. *Hua!*
The colorful light enveloping Gu Qingfeng burned like flames, layer upon layer, like a blooming, multi-hued flower.
Seizing this opportunity, Profound Heart, Liu Qingyan, and the other members of the Five-Colors Eighteen Swords, along with Qing Xi, Qing Lian, and the other twenty-four young heroes, all entered the Five-Color Transformation Array, finding their designated positions. Leveraging the array, they sought to annihilate Gu Qingfeng.
Within the Five-Color Transformation Array:
Fierce winds howled!
Flames raged and burned!
A vast sea roared!
Extreme ice shattered and exploded!
Lightning crackled and struck!
This was the power of the Great Natural Order, a veritable storm of nature!
Truly so.
At this moment, a massive storm spun wildly, coiling like a giant dragon—utterly terrifying.
As the crowd retreated, they also released their Divine Senses to probe. Unfortunately, it was useless. The Five-Color Transformation Array was simply too powerful. The moment their Divine Senses touched it, they were nearly scattered by the power of the Great Natural Order. Many suffered severe blows to their mental states and dared not probe further. Even the several reincarnated great powers present could not succeed.
Their Divine Senses were strong, as were their spirits. However, when they attempted to probe within the Five-Color Transformation Array, although not scattered by the natural power, the chaotic, frenzied transformations of the five elements within the array rendered them unable to advance an inch.
Young Master Chanchu tried several times without success. Probing deeper with his Divine Sense was like entering a secret realm where laws were in chaos, akin to doomsday.
"What a formidable array!"
Young Master Chanchu seemed not to have expected that a minor Wuse Mountain could deploy such a profound array. After all, he was a reincarnated great power and clearly understood that the five-colored spiritual vein beneath Wuse Mountain must have some connection to the Great Natural Order. Otherwise, the Nine Ultimate Venerable Elders could never have arranged an array containing such natural power.
Unable to probe deeply, Young Master Chanchu had no idea of the situation inside. He grew anxious—not worried about whether the Five-Color Transformation Array could annihilate Gu Qingfeng, but worried that if Gu Qingfeng were annihilated, the people of Wuse Mountain might seize the opportunity to take that Mystic Tortoise.
He released his Divine Sense again, attempting to penetrate deeper.
Alas, he failed once more.
The array seemed to form its own universe, leaving him with no way to intervene or investigate. Most importantly, while his Divine Sense was strong, it was merely strong. Divine Sense was, after all, just Divine Sense—a strand of spiritual consciousness, no matter how powerful. How could it withstand the frenzied devastation of the Great Natural Order's power within the Five-Color Transformation Array? After just a few attempts at probing, Young Master Chanchu's mental state was already somewhat damaged, let alone others.
As time passed, Young Master Chanchu grew increasingly anxious, fearing that the Mystic Tortoise—which could render one's Physical Body impervious to destruction—might fall into Wuse Mountain's hands. His mind made up, he steeled his heart. Leaping into the air, he shouted, "I shall lend you a hand!"
With these words, his entire body transformed into a streak of light and entered the array.
Seeing him charge in, Wu Hen, Wei Chaoqun, Li Qianhua, and the others also began to panic. They too feared the Mystic Tortoise in Gu Qingfeng's possession being taken by others. Yet, blindly rushing in was something they dared not do.
This was, after all, the Five-Color Transformation Array that stirred the storms of the Great Natural Order.
When they had probed with their Divine Senses earlier, the natural power contained within was like a stormy cataclysm.
Who knew what the actual situation inside was!
If they were familiar with the array, it might be different. But the key was, none of them were familiar with this array. They all feared entering and finding it difficult to exit.
What to do?
No one knew what to do.
They were all pondering, wondering if Gu Qingfeng was already dead, if the people of Wuse Mountain were currently fighting Young Master Chanchu over the Mystic Tortoise.
Lost in such wild thoughts, the more they thought, the more hesitant they became; the more they thought, the more fearful they grew.
*Whoosh!*
A figure flashed into the array!
Another reincarnated individual, though not Elder Jin, but another one.
There were as many as five reincarnated individuals present today. However, apart from Young Master Chanchu and Elder Jin, no one recognized the other three, including Wei Chaoqun.
*Whoosh! Whoosh!*
Two more reincarnated individuals charged into the array.
Of the five reincarnated individuals present, four had now entered. Only Elder Jin remained outside.
Now, Wu Hen, Chi Yu, and the others truly began to panic.
In an instant, *whoosh!*, another figure rushed in—Li Qianhua of Black Wind Cave!
Seeing Li Qianhua charge in, Wu Hen and Wei Chaoqun didn't think twice and followed suit. Subsequently, Ding Rui, Chi Yu, Fei Ying, Leng Yefei, Wang Han, and a host of other geniuses poured in one after another.
It wasn't over.
Right after Wu Hen and the others entered one after another, the old-timers from various sects—such as Granny Qinghua of the Hunyuan Sect, the Black Wind Twin Fiends of Black Wind Cave—also rushed in one after another.
