The majority of those on the square were flung out the moment the astral array rose. This included Lin Yu, who had previously been thrown to the edge by Chu Mo.

Standing on the outside, he witnessed this apocalyptic scene with a look of utter bewilderment on his face. He still hadn't figured out what had happened. Why had everything suddenly turned out like this?

If Brother Chu had intentionally come here looking for trouble, then the Daoist Sect's people were being far too cooperative, weren't they?

Lin Yu continued to back away because the oppressive force of the field was making it increasingly difficult for him to catch his breath.

There were quite a few lucky ones like Lin Yu, all wearing expressions similar to his at this moment, completely clueless about what had happened.

How did things become like this out of the blue?

Only when the grand entrance of the Daoist Sect collapsed did someone realize what had happened and couldn't help but cry out in despair, "It's over... The Daoist Sect is ruined, overthrown by someone! Where shall we go from here!"

"Yes, I... I paid so much money to have only cultivated for two years..."

"Two years is already quite long, okay? I've only been cultivating for half a year!"

Lin Yu, standing to the side with a strange look on his face, really wanted to interject, "I've only been here for one day! And it was at a super expensive price, too!"

At this moment, the middle-aged fat man was thoroughly frightened out of his wits. He wished he could flee like Tong Tiegang, but he was firmly locked down by a divine consciousness: Everyone else could escape, but not you!

Instantly, the middle-aged fat man was scared to the point of his soul scattering. He wanted to beg for mercy, but couldn't utter a single word.

Because that person had already arrived in front of him, coldly staring him down.

"I... I..." The middle-aged fat man was tongue-tied, shivering into a bundle.

If he could have foreseen what was happening at this very moment, he wouldn't have acted the way he did earlier, even if the newcomer had slapped him hard across the face ten times... no, even a hundred times!

Even now, the middle-aged fat man's inner world was still collapsing: Wasn't I just looking for a few people to teach you a lesson? Was that worth destroying the entire Daoist Sect over...?

Chu Mo raised his hand and delivered a fierce slap to the middle-aged fat man's face. With a crisp sound, the middle-aged fat man passed out on the spot.

The colossal astral array behind him had now lifted from the ground and began hanging in mid-air.

The astral array was brimming with vast and boundless energy, creating turbulent flows that surged in all directions.

The earth veins below, though invisible, emitted a terrifying assault, continuously attacking the astral array above with a vengeance, determined to shatter it to pieces.

The cultivators who had previously besieged Chu Mo were now either dead or injured, and hardly anyone was left unscathed. Because the spot where Chu Mo stood was the central region of the entire astral array, also the place where the array's energy was at its most potent!

Apart from Chu Mo, nobody could withstand the violent aura that permeated this place.

At this time, Chu Mo began to combine the "dou," "jie," "zhen," and "lie" words of the Nine Word Mantra.

The dou character mnemonic resonated with the universe; the jie character mnemonic, a divine consciousness induction; the zhen character mnemonic concealed aura; the lie character mnemonic, time and space.

When these four words of the mantra were mixed together, they formed a vast aura that directly stirred the heavens and earth, allowing divine consciousness to extend to the universe's Primordial Chaos. The violent aura above the astral array gradually became concealed.

The time and space power of the lie character mnemonic began to exert its effects, continuously sealing the astral array!

Sometimes, one must admit that a genius truly is a genius!

Being able to think of combining the four words of the Nine Word Mantra – dou, jie, zhen, and lie – in such a short time, and to also master them proficiently... is truly not something an ordinary person could achieve.

But these were actually still not enough. Chu Mo's understanding of the Nine Word Mantra was really superficial. It was far from enough to truly seal the ancient star formation.

However, Chu Mo still had the Fengshui Divine Art to aid him!

Under the relentless attacks of the Fengshui Divine Art, the star formation was like a giant worn out from dealing with attacks on all sides, ultimately collapsing into ruin.

Boom!

The entire star formation fell back down from mid-air.

The immense star formation, whose weight was incalculable, fell back to the ground, creating a crater countless times deeper than its original position!

"Lie!" Chu Mo roared, his hands furiously forming seals.

He finally sealed the star formation completely. The shock and admiration in his heart... were still incredibly intense.

Originally, Chu Mo was reluctant to destroy the star formation and resort to drawing upon the power of the earth veins was a forced measure, a means of last resort. But what he did not expect was that the star formation was strong to such an extent!

Even after withstanding the terrifying attacks of the earth veins for so long, it remained impervious to damage. Although it eventually collapsed in the end, Chu Mo felt that the star formation was not defeated, but that its computation capabilities had malfunctioned!

Because from the beginning, the star formation was designed for communication between distant stars, not for war, and it was not endowed with too many other capabilities. Therefore, being able to remain as solid as before under a devastating strike was already its utmost limit.

The collapse at the end was probably also a form of self-preservation.

Thus, rather than saying Chu Mo sealed the star formation using the Nine Word Mantra, it would be more accurate to say that the star formation sealed itself.

Finally, after everything was done, Chu Mo let out a long sigh of relief.

The manipulations made on the star formation by others had also been erased by him, making it impossible for anyone to use its immense power to rapidly elevate themselves in the future. The star formation was sealed, and the resources needed to unseal it were simply unaffordable for the powers of the Immortal Realm. Even through the fantasy realm, they couldn't exchange for those resources!

One could say that this pseudo-Daoist Sect that relied on the star formation to swindle money had utterly collapsed.

As for adding yet another enemy to his list, Chu Mo was unconcerned. Even if he had to do it all over again, he would still overturn that pseudo-sect.

In terms of this event changing the lives of many cultivators, all Chu Mo could express was helplessness.

The path of cultivation was not suitable for everyone, and shortcuts, although tempting, always came with hidden dangers.

Chu Mo, holding the middle-aged fat man, flew straight toward Lin Yu.

By Lin Yu's side, at this moment, not a single person remained; those who had survived... all wished they had sprouted two extra legs to run faster.

If Chu Mo had only destroyed a slab of bluestone on the square, there might be countless people condemning him. But now, he had not only destroyed the entire square but had also overturned the entire Daoist Sect! Who else would be alive and impatient enough to trouble him?

"Brother Chu... Brother Chu," Lin Yu cautiously looked at Chu Mo, "Just now... I didn't harbor any ill will towards you."

Chu Mo couldn't help but laugh quietly, "I know." He pointed at the still unconscious middle-aged fat man, "I said I would make him spit out the immortal crystals he swallowed from you, tenfold, a hundredfold!"

Lin Yu cautiously said, "Can I... can I choose not to take it?"

"No!" Chu Mo said sternly, then added, "If he dares to trouble you, I'll tear him down and feed him to the dogs!" Saying this, he kicked the middle-aged fat man, "Get up, stop playing dead!"
