The Clouds Spread Ninefold, the Heavenly Dharma Image Astounds All.

Chapter 48 The clouds spread in nine bends, and the heavenly manifestation astonished everyone.

The Three Immortals stood at the edge of Jin'ao Island, turned around and glanced at Chen Qing and Shenlong following behind them.

Yunxiao smiled sincerely as she looked at Chen Qing.

"Senior brother, shall we head straight to the Three Immortal Islands?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing nodded in agreement.

"Let's go to the Three Immortal Islands first. Aren't you capable of setting up the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation? Let's see how well you've set it up."

Upon hearing this, Yunxiao nodded slowly, bowed to Chen Qing, and then glanced at Qiongxiao and Bixiao.

They boarded auspicious clouds and left the Three Immortal Islands.

Chen Qing glanced at the three members of the Three Immortals, then at the Mirage Dragon.

The mirage dragon readily transformed into its original form and waited outside Jin'ao Island.

Chen Qing took a step forward, and the next moment, he appeared on top of the Mirage Dragon's head, standing quietly.

"Mirage Dragon, follow them."

Upon hearing this, the Mirage Dragon let out a dragon roar and followed the Three Immortals.

Chen Qing stood atop the dragon's head, glanced around, and then closed his eyes.

The Three Immortals glanced back, then immediately turned and headed towards the Three Immortal Islands.

Bixiao transmitted her voice to Yunxiao and Qiongxiao, her voice filled with envy.

"Eldest sister, second sister, Senior Brother Chen Qing's mount has such a high cultivation level! It actually has the strength of a Taiyi Golden Immortal."

Upon hearing this, Yunxiao and Qiongxiao did not say anything, but only glanced at Bixiao. Then Yunxiao transmitted her voice to Bixiao.

"Bixiao, Senior Brother Chen Qing's strength is beyond our comprehension. The fact that he has a mirage dragon at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level as his mount already demonstrates just how powerful he is."

"When we arrive at the Three Immortal Islands, we must show due respect to Senior Brother Chen Qing and avoid saying anything that might offend him."

After Yunxiao finished speaking, both Qiongxiao and Bixiao showed solemn expressions.

They knew that Chen Qing was incredibly powerful and his understanding of the Great Dao was unfathomable. Their previous discussion on the Dao had been very fruitful, and Chen Qing had even passed on a set of Nine Turns Yellow River Formation to Yunxiao.

Yunxiao even broke through his cultivation level by relying on this great formation.

The reason for inviting Chen Qing to the Three Immortal Islands was that Yunxiao had comprehended the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation and specifically invited Chen Qing to go and see it, so that he could give Yunxiao some pointers.

Not long after, the group returned directly to the Three Immortal Islands.

Chen Qing looked at the Three Immortal Islands with a very calm expression.

The Mirage Dragon looked at the Three Immortal Islands with only a hint of surprise in its eyes, but said nothing.

Over the years, he followed Chen Qing to travel through the primordial world, witnessing many blessed lands of immortals and the wonders of many grotto heavens.

After landing, Sanxiao turned around and quietly looked at Chen Qing, who was standing on the head of the Mirage Dragon.

After glancing at the Three Immortal Islands, Chen Qing withdrew his gaze, then leaped away from the Mirage Dragon's head and stepped onto the Three Immortal Islands.

"Senior brother, shall we sit in the pavilion for a while?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing nodded and glanced at the Mirage Dragon before slowly speaking.

"Mirage Dragon, you should cultivate on the island."

After saying this, Chen Qing turned around and followed the Three Immortals toward the pavilion.

After the four arrived at the pavilion, Yunxiao warmly invited Chen Qing to sit down and then began to brew tea for him.

"Senior brother, these flower teas are newly made by my brother and me. Please try them and see what you think of our new flower tea."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing nodded in agreement.

"Yes, I must savor the flower tea made by my junior sister."

Upon hearing this, Yunxiao immediately began to brew tea for Chen Qing.

Chen Qing looked at Yunxiao, who was quietly brewing tea, with an expression of appreciation in his eyes.

The two sides chatted for a while, and then began to taste the food.

After a long while, the two stopped talking and fell silent.

Chen Qing glanced at Yunxiao, then spoke slowly.

"Yunxiao, set up the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation. Let me check if there's anything lacking in the Yellow River Formation."

Upon hearing this, Yunxiao smiled, looked at Chen Qing, and nodded solemnly.

"Senior brother, then I will go and make the arrangements now."

After saying this, Yunxiao walked towards the outside of the pavilion, but stopped after taking only a few steps.

She turned to look at Chen Qing, and then spoke again.

"Senior brother, shall we set up this formation outside the Three Immortal Islands?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing nodded in agreement.

"Alright, set up this formation outside the Three Immortal Islands."

Yunxiao didn't linger and headed straight out of the Three Immortal Islands.

Qiongxiao and Bixiao also followed Yunxiao to set up the grand formation.

Chen Qing was in no hurry. He raised his cup and took another sip of tea. After finishing the tea, he put down the jade cup and got up to walk out of the pavilion.

With one step, he had already left the Three Immortal Islands.

Chen Qing stood on the Three Immortal Islands, looking at the three people in front of him who were setting up a great formation, his eyes completely calm.

In his eyes, the endless seawater, guided by the Sanxiao and others, was converging towards a certain place.

In just a few breaths, a large array was set up.

He glanced at the well-arranged formation, looking at its winding and intricate structure, filled with endless Kui Water power, and couldn't help but shake his head.

The power of the formation can borrow the power of heaven and earth, using it as its own power to attack enemies.

Chen Qing glanced at it, then took a step forward and directly entered the formation.

Upon entering the formation, he merely glanced at it casually and immediately understood its entirety.

"Yunxiao, activate the great formation and let your brother see how effective it is."

Upon hearing this, Yunxiao immediately spoke up.

"Senior brother, please be careful. Junior sister has just mastered the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation and cannot fully control it yet. If she offends you in any way, please be careful."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing smiled and looked directly at the three members of the Three Immortals in the great formation.

"It's alright, just go all out. I'll be fine, you all just need to do your best."

Chen Qing was not afraid of the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation at all. He had created the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation and knew its immense power.

Upon hearing Chen Qing's words, Yunxiao immediately began to activate the great formation.

The Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation began to operate, and endless Kui Water power condensed, forming countless water dragons that attacked Chen Qing.

Chen Qing didn't speak, but calmly looked at the water dragons. He could tell the attack power of the water dragons at a glance, but he uttered a single word.

"break!"

After Chen Qing finished speaking, all the water dragons shattered.

Upon seeing this, Yunxiao immediately activated the great formation again, and endless storms appeared, coming from all directions to attack Chen Qing.

Chen Qing glanced at the storms and nodded in satisfaction. The attack power of the great formation was now equivalent to that of a quasi-saint. Chen Qing did not make any move, but simply looked around, and the endless storms calmed down.

"Not bad, it has the striking power of a quasi-saint, truly impressive."

After Chen Qing finished speaking, he looked through the endless void at the three of them, Sanxiao and his companions.

"Activate the great formation with all your might, without any reservations."

Upon hearing this, the three of Sanxiao exchanged a glance and immediately activated the great formation with all their might, unleashing the full power of the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation.

Endless power of the sunflower water appeared, surging out from the nine bends and continuously gathering in one place. Then, a water column appeared and attacked Chen Qing.

Chen Qing glanced at the beam of light but didn't say anything. The beam of light still had the power of a quasi-saint's attack, but it was somewhat weaker.

Chen Qing glanced at the pillar of light, then immediately fell silent.

At a glance, the terrifying beam of light had already shattered.

"Alright, disperse the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation."

Upon hearing this, the Three Immortals immediately began to disperse the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation and revealed their forms.

The three flew towards Chen Qing, smiles on their faces.

"Senior Brother Chen Qing, how powerful is this Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation?"

Upon hearing Bixiao's question, Chen Qing immediately smiled.

"Indeed, it already possesses the attack power of a quasi-saint. If a suitable innate spiritual treasure is found in the future and integrated into the great formation as the main element, the power of the great formation can be greatly enhanced."

"There are still some areas where the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation can be improved. You can make some minor modifications later to enhance its power."

After Chen Qing finished speaking, he immediately pointed out some areas that could be changed.

Upon hearing this, the three immortals listened attentively, nodding occasionally.

After Chen Qing finished speaking, he remained silent.

When the Three Immortals heard that Chen Qing had stopped speaking, they immediately extended an invitation to him.

"Senior brother, do you have time to visit the Three Immortal Islands and discuss the Dao together?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing immediately shook his head, glanced at the three of them, and then looked into the distance.

"No need. I will return to the temple first. You should all carefully comprehend what I just said and perfect the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation."

After saying this, Chen Qing immediately looked at the Three Immortal Islands and then spoke.

"Mirage Dragon, let's go."

Upon hearing this, the mirage dragon on the Three Immortal Islands immediately flew towards Chen Qing's location.

Chen Qing flashed to the top of the Mirage Dragon's head and looked at the Three Immortals.

"Farewell, my three junior sisters. I must return to my dojo now."

Upon hearing this, the Three Immortals bowed respectfully to Chen Qing.

"Take care, senior brother."

Chen Qing nodded, then looked into the distance.

The mirage dragon immediately let out a deafening roar that shook the heavens and earth before flying towards Mount Chuyuan.

The three of them watched Chen Qing leave until he was out of sight. Then, they exchanged a glance, and Yunxiao slowly spoke.

"You all heard what Senior Brother Chen Qing just said. The Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation still has room for improvement. After we go back, we should go into seclusion and improve the power of the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation."

"If a suitable innate spiritual treasure is found in the future, the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation can be enhanced in power once again."

After Yunxiao finished speaking, he glanced around and then headed straight for the Three Immortal Islands.

Now, however, they are preparing to go into seclusion to study and perfect the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.

Above the East Sea, a mirage dragon flies.

"Master, shall we go straight back to the dojo?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing nodded in agreement.

"Let's go back to the dojo."

Upon hearing this, the mirage dragon immediately headed towards Mount Chuyuan.

Chen Qing didn't speak, but closed his eyes and pondered.

At this moment, however, he was contemplating how to create infinite dust particles, the Huazang Era.

Nothing unexpected happened along the way, and the mirage dragon flew steadily above the East China Sea.

Chen Qing's eyes showed surprise. He had just felt a powerful pressure coming from the direction of Jin'ao Island.

He turned to look in the direction of Jin'ao Island, his eyes gleaming, his gaze piercing through layers of space and landing directly on Jin'ao Island.

At this moment, several enormous Dharma images stood on Jin'ao Island, emanating an extremely powerful aura and unleashing boundless might.

He looked at this Dharma image with surprise in his eyes. In his eyes, although this Dharma image was not as good as his supreme Dharma image, it was much stronger than the golden body of Zhunti's Dharma image.

He looked at the Dharma image and saw that the face on it was none other than his own teacher, the Tongtian Sect Leader.

He looked at the Dharma image with puzzlement, unable to understand when his teacher had created it.

Chen Qing's eyes darted around, focusing intently on the Dharma image, a look of surprise in them.

In his eyes, all the secrets of the Tongtian Sect Master's Dharma form were directly revealed to him.

He saw that this Dharma form was also composed of laws, the power of the Heavenly Dao as its meridians, and endless other powers as its flesh and blood.

Chen Qing was very surprised. He didn't know when his teacher had learned his Dharma Image Condensation Technique.

His supreme Dharma form seemed to have appeared only twice, both times in Biyou Palace. Thinking of this, Chen Qing became indifferent. He knew that it must have been during those two times that his teacher saw the existence of the supreme Dharma form, which was why he condensed the Dharma form.

Chen Qing didn't say anything. After all, he was his teacher. Now that his teacher had learned it and even formed a Dharma image, what was wrong with that?

After all, the Dharma form condensed by his teacher, the Tongtian Sect Master, was not the Supreme Dharma Form. Compared to his Supreme Dharma Form, it lacked an unparalleled aura.

Inside the Biyou Palace on Jin'ao Island.

After the disciples of the Jie Sect left, the Tongtian Sect Leader began to condense his own Dharma form.

Previously, he had thoroughly comprehended Chen Qing's supreme Dharma form, but now he has not yet been able to condense it.

With everything prepared, after the disciples of the Jie Sect left, he immediately began to condense his own Dharma form, bringing forth his high Dharma form.

The Tongtian Sect Master is a Heavenly Saint with boundless supernatural powers, and he can condense his own Dharma form extremely quickly.

After he condensed his own Dharma form, he sighed. He looked at his Dharma form and realized that although it was very powerful, it lacked the supreme aura.

The Tongtian Sect Leader shook his head and sighed silently. After all, lacking the aura of supreme power, he could not be considered a top-tier existence and could not compare with his disciple Chen Qing.

He silently shook his head, looked at his own image, and began to think about where he had gone wrong.

What he didn't know was that the Dharma form he had condensed was already incredibly powerful, and that when it was condensed, it had already alarmed Taiqing Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, Jieyin Shengren, Zhunti Shengren, and others.

They all sensed a powerful aura, though it was fleeting, they truly felt it.

They all looked towards Jin'ao Island, wanting to find out what it was, or whether the Tongtian Sect Leader had made a breakthrough in the Great Dao.

But they were a fraction too late. By the time they saw it, the Tongtian Sect Leader had already activated the Golden Turtle Island formation, preventing outsiders from spying on it.

When Tongtian Jiaozhu saw Chen Qing, he realized that he had not activated the great formation of Jin'ao Island when he first condensed his Dharma form. At this moment, he immediately activated the great formation of Jin'ao Island to prevent outsiders from spying on everything on Jin'ao Island.

The Tongtian Sect Leader sensed several gazes from outside Jin'ao Island, a cold smile appearing on his lips, before slowly speaking.

"Eldest brother, second brother, junior brother Jieyin, junior brother Zhunti, there's no need to look anymore. I was just practicing my supernatural powers and lost control, which caused a bit of a commotion."

After saying this, the Tongtian Sect Leader glanced at the countless creatures above the East Sea and saw that most of them were prostrate on the ground. He shook his head helplessly.

He had no idea that his condensation of a supreme Dharma form would lead to such a change, and at this moment, he couldn't help but sigh at his miscalculation.

He had started cultivating immediately after his disciples left, without activating the protective array of Jin'ao Island.

This is his consistent style. After all, Jin'ao Island is his Daoist temple, a sage's Daoist temple. How could anyone dare to trespass at will? He has established his Daoist temple on Jin'ao Island for so many years, but he has never activated the island's protective array. As a result, he did not activate the array during his current cultivation of the Dharma form.

However, this caused the aura of his Dharma Image to erupt immediately after he successfully condensed it, directly revealing the aura of the Dharma Image and attracting the attention of others.

If he hadn't reacted quickly and activated the island's protective formation in time, his Dharma form would probably be right under everyone's noses right now, being speculated upon and observed by everyone.

After thinking about it, he decided to put away his Dharma form and wait until some time later. Even if he were to use his Dharma form, he wouldn't be afraid of others observing.

After Tongtian Jiaozhu retracted his Dharma form, he no longer dwelled on why the Dharma form he had condensed was not the supreme Dharma form, but instead began to comprehend the Heavenly Dao.

Taiqing Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, Jieyin Shengren, and Zhunti Shengren all withdrew their gazes and ceased their probing.

We are all saints; if others don't want you to know, how could you possibly know?
