Ch 415: National Fortune Dissipated
Approximately half a cup of tea’s time passed, and the radiance projected from the Imperial Mausoleum spread across the Sky Dome, enveloping all the territory of the Divine Palace Kingdom.
This scene seemed to be trapped in eternity.
Dragon Court.
From the moment the anomaly spread, Luo Jinyi and others did not idly watch, but continuously used methods to bombard the Imperial Mausoleum, attempting to prevent the Heavenly Mandate Great Formation’s activation.
Boom!
Spirit Treasures continuously emitted terrifying might, relentlessly attacking the Imperial Mausoleum.
However, the Imperial Mausoleum, which had been continuously shaken by their offensive, now, after the Heavenly Mandate Great Formation slowly opened, seemed to be completely protected, remaining unscathed no matter how they bombarded it, as strong as a fortress.
“Useless.”
The Calico Cat watched the anomaly in the Sky Dome, its cat face displaying unprecedented seriousness.
“Once the Heavenly Mandate Great Formation is activated, it will automatically activate an indestructible defense. If you want to stop the formation’s operation, you can only destroy the formation base before the formation is activated.”
A taboo formation like the Heavenly Mandate Great Formation should not appear in a low-level plane like the Tianxuan Realm, yet Emperor Yu Yang had already set it up.
That indicates that when Emperor Yu Yang obtained the Heaven Swallowing Demonic Art, he also likely obtained the method and effect of setting up the Heavenly Mandate Great Formation.
It is likely that when Emperor Yu Yang obtained the usage of the Heavenly Mandate Great Formation, he had already begun planning this matter.
Although the Heavenly Mandate Great Formation and the Heaven Swallowing Demonic Art are a formation and a cultivation method respectively, both have the same self-serving and harmful nature, which is why they are classified as taboo.
Anything involving the word “taboo” is exceptionally terrifying, not something ordinary people can touch; even if they do, a single misstep could bring disaster to themselves or others.
“Can’t we stop the Heavenly Mandate Great Formation’s operation?”
Li Hanzhou asked, his hand tightening around the Spirit Summoning Talisman. As long as this question could be confirmed, he would act without hesitation.
Luo Jinyi and the others also looked at the Calico Cat, their eyes filled with hope.
By now, they understood that this so-called Heavenly Mandate Great Formation forcibly used National Fortune to cultivate destiny. National Fortune, though seemingly ethereal, is real.
National Fortune concerns the stability of each country. Their Divine Palace has prospered for so long, and National Fortune played a crucial role.
Once the National Fortune is gone, their Divine Palace will surely fall back into turmoil, with the people suffering.
Therefore, they must find a way to break this Heavenly Mandate Great Formation and stop Emperor Yu Yang.
“The Heavenly Mandate Great Formation is not so easily interrupted.”
The Calico Cat shook its head regretfully and continued, “However, the Heavenly Mandate Great Formation has just been activated.”
“If within this time you can completely blast open the Imperial Mausoleum, enter it, and destroy the formation base inside, then this Heavenly Mandate Great Formation will naturally collapse. But it’s impossible for you alone; if you unite all the experts of all countries and sects in this Tianxuan Realm, it might be possible.”
“However, I have only heard of this taboo formation and do not know how long it takes for this formation to fully operate.”
These words were spoken.
Everyone suddenly felt their hearts gripped tightly by a large hand, feeling extremely suffocated.
To unite the major sects and countries of other nations is simply unrealistic.
Throughout history, countless countries have fallen into silence after prosperity, without a ripple, because every country is mutually wary, only thinking of annexing each other.
Even if they temporarily join forces, they only encounter a stronger country. After defeating that stronger country, they will still be mutually hostile, with no room for reconciliation.
This is true for countries and also for sects.
For example, in their Divine Palace, many large and small sects have grudges. They were willing to go to the battlefield for the sake of the country. As citizens of the Divine Palace, they were willing to put aside past grievances and unite.
If this matter were told to other countries and sects, they would undoubtedly look on coldly, probably already laughing in their hearts.
To ask them for help is simply impossible.
Moreover, the formation may suddenly start operating at any time. Even if other countries are willing to help, they might arrive after the formation is already operating.
This is a dead end!
“In other words, as long as we can blast open the Imperial Mausoleum, there is still a slight chance.”
Xiao Tiansheng calmed himself down, his face serious as he said, “If that’s the case, then please everyone, don’t hold back. We must find a way to blast open the Imperial Mausoleum!”
He had no hope of uniting other countries to stop the formation’s operation.
As the ruler of a country, even if he knew it was impossible, he had to try.
After Xiao Tiansheng finished speaking, he left, issuing one order after another, mobilizing the civil and military officials of the Imperial Court, and even his subordinate Beiqi Army, to stop the Heavenly Mandate Great Formation’s operation.
In an instant, countless people gathered outside the Imperial Mausoleum, scattered in various corners, desperately trying to break it open.
Only Li Hanzhou and Li Changshou remained on the scene.
This was their first meeting since Li Hanzhou’s death.
But before they could catch up, such a major event occurred.
“Senior Brother.”
Li Hanzhou looked at Li Changshou, sighing, “I’m afraid I won’t be able to return to the Longevity Temple for a while.”
Li Changshou sensed something in his junior brother’s words. Then he saw the Spirit Summoning Talisman in Li Hanzhou’s hand, his expression immediately changing: “Junior Brother!”
He rushed forward and hugged Li Hanzhou, saying, “If you use the Spirit Summoning Talisman again, you may fall into a long sleep again, or even be in mortal danger!”
“Senior Brother, you’re squeezing me.”
Li Hanzhou gently pushed Li Changshou away: “If Yu Zhenhong succeeds, the Divine Palace will never have peace, and our Longevity Temple will also be implicated.”
The Spirit Summoning Talisman was his greatest weapon. He had once used it to cleave open the entire Tianxuan Forbidden Zone with one sword. It might be able to destroy the Heavenly Mandate Great Formation as well.
“Kid, the situation is beyond repair, no matter what you do, it’s useless.”
The Calico Cat suddenly jumped onto Li Changshou’s shoulder, saying, “Once the Heavenly Mandate Great Formation is activated, it means that the National Fortune has been drawn and mobilized by the formation. See that radiance? That’s your Divine Palace’s National Fortune.”
“Even if you destroy the formation now, the National Fortune previously absorbed by the formation will not return, but will completely disappear!”
