<h4>Chapter 1420: Chapter 1417: A Stunning Debut</h4>


    Zi Yan smiled bitterly and said, "This de is too sharp for us to withstand!"


    Xu Wendong looked at Fei Yan and softly asked, "Have you sent a message to your father about adopting Zi Yan as a goddaughter?"


    Fei Yan nodded repeatedly, "I sent a message to Father early this morning, and he has agreed. He also said that when he arrives in the Shangqing Country, he will hold a ceremony."


    Xu Wendong’s face revealed a slight smile, "Since you’ve already sent the message, things will be much easier to handle."


    "Let’s go upstairs first!" Saying this, he led the three of them to the room upstairs.


    "Husband, have you already thought of a strategy?" After returning to the room, Hongying curiously looked at Xu Wendong.


    Fei Yan and Zi Yan also coincidentally looked over.


    Xu Wendong said, "The Xuantian Sect is a small sect in the Tian Lan Country, and such sects are everywhere. I don’t believe that a top-tier Immortal Sect like the Sword Sect would absorb such a small sect."


    "If I’m not mistaken, your master should have aligned himself with a powerful figure under the Sword Sect, rather than being directly integrated into the Sword Sect."


    "There is still a difference between the two."


    "So, we don’t have to worry at all, even if we remove that strong figure from the Sword Sect—it wouldn’t matter much."


    As soon as these words came out.


    The three women gasped in shock, their beautiful eyes filled with deep astonishment.


    Fei Yan said nervously, "Husband, the Sword Sect is a top-tier Immortal Sect in the cultivation world. If you harm a strong figure of the Sword Sect, they will surely hold us ountable; the consequences will be unimaginable!"


    Xu Wendong casually replied, "No worries, even if we kill someone from the Sword Sect, we will have absolute evidence to prove that Su Yujie intended to borrow a knife to kill someone, and we had no choice but to act."


    "The premise is, we must disy some means that can intimidate others."


    Xu Wendong initially intended to act low-profile.


    But now, he had to act high-key.


    Fortunately, this is the Shangqing Country.


    As long as you have money, you can buy any scarce spiritual medicine or minerals!


    Xu Wendong changed the subject with a smile and gently said, "Let’s not talk about these troubling matters, let’s do something enjoyable instead."


    "Remember, if the sky falls, I’ll hold it up for you!"


    ------


    Early the next morning, as the first rays of sunlight broke through the clouds and gently spread across thend, Xu Wendong had already left Zhaixing Building with his three extraordinarily beautiful confidantes.


    They weaved through the bustling herb shops, selecting the needed herbs with the care and anticipation of treasure hunters.


    Afterpleting their purchases, the group took to the wind and left the Shangqing Country, skimming over the clouds, and eventuallynding atop a picturesque peak far removed from worldly concerns.


    A hundred miles away was the Sword Sect’s stronghold in the Shangqing Country—Jianxu.


    Xu Wendong stood tall, closed his eyes, and concentrated, raising his hands slowly as if he was inmunion with the world’s spiritual energy.


    As he pinched his fingers lightly, bursts of vibrant, colorful light erupted suddenly, swirling in the air like enchanted sprites, finally forming aplex and magnificent web that tightly enveloped the entire mountain peak.


    At that moment, an awe-inspiring formation appeared with a mighty roar.


    It was no longer a mere assembly of runes but seemed to possess a consciousness of its own, slowly rotating and expanding in the air, radiating dazzling light.


    This light contained sanctity and majesty, mixed with unfathomable profundity and depth, as if capable of perceiving the essence of all things in the world.


    Within the formation, the multicolored light interwove into flowing images, sometimes transforming into dragons and phoenixes bringing good fortune, sometimes morphing into mountains and rivers, each scene embodying the purest energy andws of the world.


    As the formation gradually stabilized, surging waves of spiritual power began to gather from all directions, forming visible spiritual storms, enveloping the entire mountain peak in splendor.


    This spectacr scene left everyone present astounded and also drew the attention of the cultivators from the capital of the Shangqing Country.


    They all looked up, filled with amazement and reverence in their eyes.


    Besides that.


    The powerful figures deep within the pce were also attracted by this sudden surge, sending inquisitive nces.


    Among them, Li Dao Qi frowned deeply, staring fixedly southward, filled with unprecedented shock and curiosity, "Who is arranging this formation? Who could invoke such celestial phenomena?"


    As the Taoist Sect Master and State Preceptor of the Shangqing Country, Li Dao Qi’s status was second only to the eight Human Supremes.


    And his attainments in the Path of Formation were unparalleled.


    Even adding up the state preceptors of the other seven top-tier cultivator countries couldn’tpare to him.


    And now.


    He was shocked by the formation set up by Xu Wendong.


    For a moment, he couldn’t identify what kind of formation it was, only feeling it was both mystifying and ancient.


    "Who exactly is this person? Why did he set up such an astonishing formation outside the city?" Li Dao Qi’s eyes were full of confusion and perplexity.


    As the leading figure in the Path of Formation, he naturally knew there were a few Heavenly Prides in the formation world, but he had never seen Xu Wendong.


    At this moment.


    A guard entered Li Dao Qi’s cultivation room and respectfully said, "State Preceptor, someone has set up arge formation outside the city, causing a huge uproar in the city. Should we send someone to investigate?"


    Li Dao Qi said, "No need, everything is under this State Preceptor’s control, you may withdraw!"


    "Yes!"


    Li Dao Qi focused on watching the lofty figure hundreds of miles away, and when he saw Xu Wendong taking out an alchemy furnace to start refining elixirs, his expression immediately became wonderfully expressive.


    "Setting up such arge formation, is it really for refining elixirs?"


    "Could it be that this person can refine Immortal Pills?"


    Arge question mark rose in Li Dao Qi’s heart as he calmed down to watch.


    "This person is actually a master of formations?" Su Yujie also saw Xu Wendong setting up the formation, her face ashen, even without mentioning anything else, just this person’s attainments in formations were enough to astonish the world.


    He could even be courted by a super Immortal Sect, as the status of a formation master is exceptionally high.


    Time flew by.


    Two days passed in the blink of an eye.


    Two dayster in the morning.


    Xu Wendong pinched the spell with both hands.


    In an instant.


    The spiritual energy between heaven and earth gathered into clouds, eagerly pouring into the pill furnace.


    At the same time.


    A crisp and pleasant sound erupted from the pill furnace.


    The sound spread for hundreds of miles, giving people a sense of celestial music.


    "Could it be that an Immortal Pill is descending?"


    "Heavens, it’s unbelievable. This person is already so astonishing in formations, and now he has also refined an Immortal Pill; how are others going to cope?"


    "Who on earth is this person? Why was he unknown before?"


    "Although this person was unknown before, I believe he will gain fame in this Hundred Nations Heavenly Pride Contention!"


    People were discussing animatedly.


    But at this moment.


    A Five-Colored Divine Thunder appeared in the sky, carrying the might to destroy the world, and crashed down toward the mysterious formation below...
