After the formation of the array, a purple light suddenly flashed above the stone pillar in the center, and the Azure Thunder Sect's Thunder Control Mirror flew into the air, spinning rapidly and lighting up a layer of purple electric light.
Under the rendering of the purple light, the entire light curtain appeared cyan-purple. Arcs of electricity also began to flicker on the light curtain.
Even more astonishing was that the dark clouds in the sky seemed to be guided, flowing rapidly and forming circles of clouds.
The clouds were dense with thunder and lightning, and all the shining cyan lightning gathered on the Thunder Control Mirror.
"Fellow disciples, with our sect's Thunder Control Mirror as the array eye, this Purple Lightning Thunder Light Array has been set up. Let's withdraw from the array and guard the periphery," Zhao Yunshan then led several Golden Core cultivators out of the array.
The Purple Lightning Thunder Light Array is a major formation of the Azure Thunder Sect. Besides condensing the thunder-attribute spiritual power within the array, it also possesses considerable defensive power.
This array has a total of seven array eyes. In addition to the six array disks cast by the disciples, the most important array eye is the Thunder Control Mirror, which is the core of the array.
After the elders withdrew from the array, under their command, Foundation Establishment disciples were distributed around to guard it.
Including the blue-robed woman from before, there were a total of eight Azure Thunder Sect elders who had arrived here. At this moment, they were each sitting in a position, quietly guarding.
Condensing a Nascent Soul is not something that can be done in a short time. Lei Yue had been sensing and comprehending for three or four years.
At this moment, Lei Yue within the array remained motionless, as if he was unaware of the arrival of everyone.
Lei Yue naturally knew that everyone had arrived, and the timing arrangement was also something he had notified the sect about. It was only a little over a month ago that the Azure Thunder Sect gathered its disciples to refine thunder beads and set up an array to assist him in his breakthrough.
At this time, Zhang Ling and Ding Ruozhao were also sitting on the ground, waiting, dozens of feet apart.
They came here not to sabotage this person's Nascent Soul formation, but to rescue the Thunderfire Beast of the Ding family. And that Thunderfire Beast was currently on Zhao Yunshan, who was at the peak of the late Golden Core stage.
This was the result of Ding Ruozhao's sensing based on the secret technique planted on the Thunderfire Beast by the Ding family.
After Liu Yuan offered the Thunderfire Beast to the Azure Thunder Sect, this spirit beast came under the jurisdiction of the Azure Thunder Sect.
However, there was still a certain connection between the spirit beast and the Ding family. After all, the spirit beast contract planted on its body by the Ding family over many years was not so easy to erase.
The Azure Thunder Sect also did not need to erase the contract between this beast and the Ding family, because this spirit beast would definitely not survive by then.
As long as it was at the critical moment of Lei Yue's breakthrough, they could use the Blood Thunder Curse secret method to sacrifice the Thunderfire Beast for assistance.
This kind of method was actually more like a secret technique of the demonic path.
Zhang Ling and the other were now waiting for the opportunity. As soon as the Elder Zhao released the Thunderfire Beast, they would take action.
He kept thinking about Ding Ruozhao's plan in his mind. Although the Nascent Soul old monster of the Azure Thunder Sect had not appeared, they were slightly relieved.
But it would not be easy to seize the Thunderfire Beast from the hands of eight Golden Core cultivators.
Among them, Zhao Yunshan and Liu Yuan were both late-stage Golden Core experts, and the remaining Golden Core cultivators had three with mid-stage strength, and three early-stage cultivators.
To gain an advantage from these cultivators would involve great risk. But having come here, Zhang Ling would not retreat.
While the Azure Thunder Sect was setting up the Purple Lightning Thunder Light Array, outside Thunderclap Valley, on the mountain peak where several elders had stayed before, an old man with sparse hair suddenly appeared.
This old man was wearing a green robe and his face was full of wrinkles, looking like a hundred-year-old man among mortals. But unlike mortals, this old man's complexion was ruddy, his energy was scarce, and his eyes were shining as he stared at Thunderclap Mountain.
"Hehe, a junior of the Azure Thunder Sect is condensing a Nascent Soul. What a good plan, but you have chosen the wrong place," the old man muttered to himself.
Although the environment of Thunderclap Mountain could assist cultivators who practiced thunder-attribute techniques, the Azure Thunder Sect usually had its juniors condense Nascent Souls within the sect. This time, they chose this place.
This was too disrespectful to their Whirlwind Gate. Thunderclap Mountain was not solely owned by the Azure Thunder Sect, but was jointly controlled with their Whirlwind Gate.
Now that they knew about this matter, they would naturally not sit idly by.
The Azure Thunder Sect and the Whirlwind Gate had equal strength. If one more Nascent Soul cultivator appeared, then the days of their Whirlwind Gate would not be good.
Although condensing a Nascent Soul was not so easy, now that he had received this news, he could not let this person break through in peace.
The old man snorted coldly and transformed into a streak of light, rushing towards Thunderclap Mountain. As he approached Thunderclap Mountain, gusts of strong wind and thunder and lightning arose in front of him.
This was the restriction of this place, but the old man was expressionless as he waved his hand, and an emerald green banana leaf appeared in his hand.
He quickly flicked his hand a few times, and more than ten spiritual lights entered the treasure. Immediately, the banana leaf grew wildly and turned into a large leaf seven or eight feet wide.
Emerald green light flashed on it, and the sound of wind roared. After dancing wildly a few times, it generated gusts of wind in front of it.
These whirlwinds condensed together like wind ropes, turning into a huge wind blade. With a loud tearing sound, it directly slashed in mid-air.
For a time, the spiritual light was dazzling, and then the restriction outside Thunderclap Mountain reappeared with an array light curtain.
The old man held the banana leaf in both hands and waved it vigorously, and countless emerald green wind blades swept out.
The sound of crackling explosions continued, and all the wind blades attacked in one place. Immediately, the light curtain trembled for a while, and a crack appeared after a few breaths.
The old man flashed and entered inside.
The restriction barrier outside Thunderclap Mountain was jointly set up by the two sects, and was a wind and thunder array.
Although it covered a large area, this array could not stop Nascent Soul-level cultivators. However, it could easily block cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage.
This place was just a small secret realm jointly managed by the two sects. The spiritual medicines and spiritual mines produced inside were only somewhat attractive to low-level cultivators, and there were not many that were useful to Golden Core cultivators.
If it weren't for a small Thunder Essence spiritual vein inside, the people of the Azure Thunder Sect probably wouldn't have come here to break through.
After a little thought, the green-robed old man roughly guessed the reason why the disciple in the Azure Thunder Sect wanted to come to this place.
After entering inside, he transformed into a faint green light and went directly towards the Thunder Essence spiritual vein.
And the identity of this old man need not be said, he was another Nascent Soul elder of the Whirlwind Gate.
Let's talk about the Azure Thunder Sect and others who were all calmly guarding the periphery of the Purple Lightning Thunder Light Array, protecting Lei Yue.
This person was sitting alone on top of the independent stone pillar, cultivating in meditation as if no one else was present.
A breakthrough is naturally not something that happens as soon as one says it does, especially a breakthrough of this kind of great realm. Whether it is the state of mind or the true essence in the body, it must reach a certain level. One must constantly adjust one's own state, and also pay attention to opportunity.
Zhang Ling and the other had expected this situation. This state could last for several days, or even a month or two, or even half a year.
So the two could only quietly wait for the opportunity to come.
