On the side of the alliance between Taiyi Sect and Qiaoshou Sect, there are four cultivators in the mid-stage of Foundation Building: Meng Zhang, Deep Earth Spirit General, Shocking Thunder Spirit General, and Aunt Jin. In addition, there are four cultivators in the early stage of Foundation Building: Jin Qigu, Jin Wengbo, Yang Xueyi, and Wen Qiansun. In total, there are eight cultivators in the Foundation Building stage, surpassing the opponent both in quantity and combat power. 𝒻𝓻𝑒ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝑛𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓁.𝑐𝘰𝓶
On the other hand, Forest Spring Watch only has Guang HuiDaoist and Guang RuiDaoist as mid-stage cultivators in Foundation Building. If they were to engage in a direct battle in the wilderness, Forest Spring Watch would undoubtedly be defeated. However, with the advantage of favorable timing and location, Forest Spring Watch is not easily defeated.

Among the alliance of Taiyi Sect and Qiaoshou Sect, there are less than three hundred cultivators in the Refining Qi stage. However, their quality is decent, with at least all of them being in the mid-stage of Refining Qi. The weak ones in the early stage of Refining Qi were not included to make up the numbers.
Meng Zhang and the others flew into the sky, looking down at the mountain gate of Forest Spring Watch, their expressions solemn. The mountain gate of Forest Spring Watch is located on a small mountain range composed of several adjacent peaks. The peaks are not particularly high and do not occupy a large area.
A huge protective formation surrounds this small mountain range. Outside the mountain range, one can vaguely see vertical water curtains, within which thick azure wood moves back and forth.
"It’s actually the Azure Wood Torrent Great Formation." Wen Qiansun quickly discerned the origin of the protective formation without much effort. The Azure Wood Torrent Great Formation is somewhat famous in the Cultivation World.
This great formation gathers a vast amount of water-system spiritual energy, transforming it into a surging torrent that tightly guards the great formation. By using water to nurture wood, it activates the wood-based spiritual energy and generates countless azure wood, which can serve as both a barrier for the great formation and a weapon to kill enemies.
When the great formation is activated, the surging torrent rushes forth, accompanied by countless azure wood floating and charging through. With the support of many cultivators within the formation, the great formation becomes even more formidable and difficult to break through.
Even on the side of Taiyi Sect, both Deep Earth Spirit General and Wen Qiansun possess advanced formation skills. However, they currently have no effective means to deal with this great formation.
Launching a direct assault is not a viable option. Even if they were to ultimately succeed, the cost would be too much for Meng Zhang to bear. Since there are no better strategies available, the only option is to temporarily surround Forest Spring Watch and patiently search for opportunities.
Fortunately, Flying Swan Sect has not set a strict deadline for completely annihilating Forest Spring Watch. They are only urging for swift action. With the start of the major battle, Flying Swan Sect is not pressuring them and has not set a deadline for the latest stage.
Taiyi Sect does not need to be overly anxious and can calmly make arrangements. Of course, since they have already reached the city gates, retreating without taking any action would be demoralizing.
Meng Zhang decides to attempt an attack, not expecting to break through the great formation but merely to probe its power.Taiyi Sect and Qiaoshou Sect’s disciples separated and slowly approached the mountain gate of Forest Spring Watch from two directions. Taiyi Sect had the fewest disciples, with only dozens of people.
Wen Qiansun personally commanded them and set up the Qiankun Rotation Formation. On the Qiaoshou Sect side, there were nearly two hundred disciples who set up an unknown formation. The other cultivators in the Foundation Building stage flew into the air and prepared themselves.
Under Meng Zhang’s command, the cultivators in the Foundation Building stage took the lead. Various magic tools, including flying swords, were used to attack the water curtain in front of them. Spells rained down continuously, relentlessly bombarding the water curtain.

The Refining Qi stage disciples of the two sects below relied on the power of the formation, concentrating all their strength to attack the water curtain in front of them. Although Flying Swan Sect did not directly participate in the battle, they provided a large amount of war materials to the two sects, including many First Rank talismans. A large number of talismans were released, and spells such as fireballs, earth dragons, weapons, and golden swords continuously poured down like a tide, covering the sky and earth, bombarding the water curtain in front of them.
Guang HuiDaoist had already led everyone to take their positions and firmly occupied all the support points of the great formation. They continuously infused their true qi into the great formation, controlling it to produce various changes. The water curtain of the great formation fluctuated violently, producing countless ripples. All the attacks that fell on it were gently dissolved by the water curtain. The water curtain flowed, and a soft force surged out, embodying the true essence of water’s softness.
Countless azure wood flowed with the water curtain and then poured down towards the people. Deep Earth Spirit General and Shocking Thunder Spirit General stepped forward and took action.
The huge Stonebreaker Hammer swept through, smashing countless azure wood. The electric light shot out, shattering one azure wood after another. However, there were still a large number of azure wood that evaded their attacks and swept towards the Refining Qi stage disciples of the two sects below.
The disciples of the two sects changed their formation from offense to defense and resisted the rushing azure wood. Wen Qiansun calculated for a long time, suddenly exerted all his strength to wield the armor-piercing sword, and heavily slashed at the water curtain in front of him. A huge gap was cut in the water curtain, but it immediately flowed and filled the gap.
Wen Qiansun shook his head, knowing that this great formation was extremely resilient and could not be broken in a short time. Meng Zhang, who was flying in the air, knew that it was impossible to continue and took the opportunity to retreat before they had truly penetrated the great formation.
He called out, and several cultivators in the Foundation Building stage took action to cover the retreat of the two teams of Refining Qi stage disciples below. The two Base Formation armies retreated while fighting, slowly leaving the attack range of the protective great formation. Then, Meng Zhang and the others did not linger and also retreated.
Guang HuiDaoist, who was in charge of the great formation, sighed regretfully. The enemy was too cautious and did not penetrate deeply. They only probed the edge of the great formation and then voluntarily withdrew.
Guang HuiDaoist had originally planned to manipulate the power of the great formation and find an opportunity to severely damage the enemy, preferably killing the Foundation Building stage cultivators on the spot. However, after waiting for a long time, he still did not find a suitable opportunity.
The enemy was too far away, and the power of the protective great formation could not be fully exerted. Even if they launched a desperate attack, it would be difficult to achieve their goal.
After much hesitation, Guang HuiDaoist thought that there was still a long way to go and that there was no need to rush things. He gave up the idea of counterattacking. After the joint army of the two sects retreated, several cultivators in the Foundation Building stage gathered together and briefly discussed, deciding to first besiege the mountain gate of Forest Spring Watch.
A large amount of formation materials were brought in from the rear and personally presided over by Wen Qiansun and Deep Earth Spirit General. Two formations were set up outside the mountain gate of Forest Spring Watch, and the disciples of Taiyi Sect and Qiaoshou Sect were stationed in them respectively.
The other cultivators in the Foundation Building stage dispersed and surrounded the mountain gate of Forest Spring Watch from several different directions. As long as the cultivators of Forest Spring Watch dared to leave the protection of the great formation, they would swarm up and kill them.
The Foundation Building stage cultivators of the two sects moved unpredictably, some flying around the mountain gate of Forest Spring Watch, patrolling around, while others hid their figures, not letting others discover their presence.
