Elder Shen's scheme was exposed after Mo Hua's intervention severed the Sea of Consciousness, revealing hidden desires. Surrounded by Qian Taoist Sect elders, he extracted a white bone to activate a formation but uttered 'Too late' before attempting escape. Severed by the Shen Family Old Ancestor and crushed by the one-eyed Old Ancestor, his death triggered the Mount of Tao Large Formation to roar back to life, cycling vast Void Power across the sky as Heaven Void Ancestors sensed impending calamity.

Things have changed now.

Suddenly, without any activation trigger, the Fifth Grade Large Formation powered up to its maximum capacity...

"Has someone meddled with the Fifth Grade Formation?!"

"What's the intent behind this?"

Numerous Heaven Void Ancestors shifted their gazes toward Elder Master Xun.

In the Qianxue State Boundary, Elder Master Xun from Taixu Gate ranks among the scarce few Fifth Grade Formation Ancestors.

With a furrowed brow, Elder Master Xun observed the glowing formation lights on the distant horizon, felt the circulating patterns of the array, mentally dissected its mechanisms and core pivot structure, and analyzed the legal frameworks driving the array's sudden reactivation...

Not meant for slaughter, not for shielding, not for safeguarding disciples, but rather...

Elder Master Xun's heart jolted:

"Teleportation?!"

A sudden realization hit him, sending a chill through his core, and he bellowed in haste:

"Quick! Alert the Mount of Tao elders to seal the formation eye by force and sever the spiritual power feed to the large formation!"

He had no power to meddle with Mount of Tao's Fifth Grade Formation.

This grand array had been constructed specifically to shield sword discussion disciples from any outside disruptions.

Such disruptions mainly came from Heaven Void Ancestors of sects and noble clans.

Indeed, if these Heaven Void Ancestors truly meddled in the contest, nothing could halt them.

This implied that the array's chief defense targeted precisely these attending Heaven Void Ancestors.

They were barred from and incapable of influencing anything inside the grand formation.

Thus, only Mount of Tao elders could enforce a seal on the formation eye and halt the array; he was powerless to act.

Yet deciding on such a drastic step was no small matter for Mount of Tao.

And now, it was far too late.

"Elder Shen's" demise served as the trigger, igniting the large formation.

As designed, the array sprang into action, with azure "teleportation" lights flashing one after another.

Every disciple in the Shura battle who had lost and exited was pulled back via reverse teleportation, initiating a "re-entry".

Amid the barren Shura arena.

Figures that had "died" before started materializing once more.

Linghu Xiao, Ouyang Xuan, Cheng Mo, Situ Jian, the five Tai'a brothers, Hao Xuan...

Taixu Gate disciples, amid flickering blue glows, reassembled around Mo Hua.

In addition to Taixu Gate, disciples from the Four Great Sects, Eight Great Gates, and even select Heavenly Pride from the Twelve Streams emerged sequentially...

Shen Cangfeng, Ao Zheng, Xiao Ruohan, Shi Tiangang, Ye Zhiyuan, Qin Cangliu, Feng Zichen, Song Kui...

A quick scan revealed a throng packed tight, every one of them Mo Hua's "foes".

Yet right then, revenge against Mo Hua was the last thing on their minds; they stared at one another in bewilderment, clueless about the events—why, after defeat and withdrawal, they were yanked back in.

No explanations came their way.

The teleportation pressed on.

Blue lights flashed anew, vanishing the clustered disciples from the Shura field one after the other.

Regaining composure and scanning their surroundings, they beheld lofty peaks and brooding clouds, shrouded in fog, evoking the thrill of scaling summits, grasping the heavens, an ethereal immortal aura.

Some disciples quickly caught on:

"Xuantian Peak!"

"Could this be Xuantian Peak?!"

Mount of Tao's loftiest spot: one peak, one tower.

Xuantian Peak forms the peak, Sword Observation Tower the tower.

Sword Observation Tower serves as the viewing spot for clan ancestors, Taoist State direct descendants, and court pavilion elites to observe swordplay, concealed amid clouds, beyond common sight.

To all eyes, Mount of Tao's pinnacle is the majestic Xuantian Peak thrusting toward the skies.

Xuantian Peak doubles as the ultimate arena for the "Heaven" tier sword discussion in the Sword Discussion Conference.

Post the grueling Earth tier clashes, victorious Heavenly Pride from sects converge atop Xuantian Peak for a climactic showdown against Qianxue's mightiest prodigy.

But now, these Heavenly Pride Disciples were stunned to discover themselves all transported to Xuantian Peak's summit.

"What's going on?"

"What is the meaning of this?"

Shock and confusion gripped the assembly.

Still, the teleportation showed no signs of halting.

A blinding radiance burst forth above the Fifth Grade Formation.

A keener Spirit Roar pierced the air.

Vast quantities of Spirit Stones were consumed instantly, transformed into spiritual power fueling the grand array.

Intense spiritual surges, hurricane-like, raged outward in every direction.

Like an endless sea, azure light surged skyward, swallowing Xuantian Peak whole.

Mount of Tao's Fifth Grade Formation operated near its absolute threshold.

Then, beneath the stunned stares of myriad cultivators, the colossal sky-piercing Xuantian Peak was severed from its base by Void Power, and promptly...

Vanished.

Astoundment seized everyone.

Even the Heaven Void Ancestors reeled in shock.

Xuantian Peak... teleported away?!

Before their very eyes, the Xuantian Peak—rooted over ten thousand years in Qianxue State Boundary—had been whisked off by Mount of Tao's Fifth Grade Formation?

And atop it stood hundreds of elite disciples from Four Sects and Seven Gates!

These represented the true jewels, the lifeblood essence of the great sects.

"Hurry!" one Heaven Void Ancestor roared in fury and alarm, "Track down Xuantian Peak's teleportation destination!"

This teleportation harnessed Fifth Grade Heaven Void Power.

Its prerequisites were stringent, constraints plentiful; teleporting something as immense as Xuantian Peak meant it couldn't stray far—likely lingering near the Fifth Grade Qianxue State Boundary at most.

Heaven Void Ancestors extended their Divine Senses one by one.

Unleashed astonishing Heaven Void Power swept unbound across the full Qianxue State Boundary.

Some Heaven Void Ancestors produced the prized Heaven Peeping Mirror to survey the entire state boundary.
