If the best grand formation he had now at his disposal could not defeat Mo Wen, then this battle would essentially be lost.
To continue fighting would only be to humiliate himself, and for what purpose?
As for the grand formations he had set up, especially his most prized one, Su You Shi held absolute confidence.
...
On the other side.
Mo Wen's eyes swept over the Star Dou Grand Formation, his expression gradually becoming solemn, a flash of caution in his gaze.
However, he had no choice but to enter the formation, to search for an opportunity and overcome it.
After all, his opponent was a formation master; if he didn't find a way to break through the formation, he wouldn't win at all.
A streak of escaping light flashed, and as Mo Wen plunged into the Star Dou Grand Formation, fragments of star meteorites tore through the void, fiercely attacking Mo Wen.
...
Mo Wen stood within the Star Dou Grand Formation, the Taigu remnant treasure, Kaiyue Duangjiang Halberd, in his hands constantly dancing, unleashing countless halberd shadows.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Under Mo Wen's relentless attacks, many star meteorite fragments shattered, turning into scattered pieces, crystalline and transparent.
The Kaiyue Duangjiang Halberd had blades on both sides and a flat middle, its flashing cold light and sharp edge enhancing Mo Wen's offensive power.
Su You Shi stood atop a high platform at the center of the Star Dou Grand Formation.
He watched Mo Wen enter the formation with a serious expression. With a wave of his formation flag, it vanished into the Star Dou Grand Formation.
Instantly, the star meteorite fragments seemed to gain sentience, actively attacking Mo Wen according to the principles of the five elements, eight trigrams, and the interplay of Yin and Yang!
As the endless star meteorite fragments intertwined and merged, they formed a giant net, slowly enveloping Mo Wen.
Countless star meteorite fragments rained down, as if intending to crush Mo Wen into a paste.
Seeing this, Mo Wen summoned all his spiritual energy, and the Kaiyue Duangjiang Halberd in his hand gradually rose.
Spiritual energy flickered, the halberd blade emanating an eerie cold glow, imbued with infinite killing intent.
In the next second, the long halberd swept across, and the entire Star Dou Grand Formation seemed to be torn apart at that moment.
The terrifying attack possessed the power to shatter all, and countless star meteorite fragments were annihilated by this slash.
The crystalline fragments shimmered in mid-air.
A look of astonishment appeared on Su You Shi's face, and he thought to himself: Mo Wen is truly formidable; his reputation is well-deserved, he is never weak!
However, Su You Shi did not only possess this much skill. He formed several hand seals and cast them towards the Star Dou Grand Formation.
Within the Star Dou Grand Formation, dense formation patterns flowed, condensing star meteorite fragments that were larger and heavier.
Su You Shi let out a loud roar and declared, "Suppress Mountain! Star Move! Strike God!"
Innumerable star meteorite fragments transformed into a brilliantly colorful yet deadly continuous meteor shower.
With three times the power of before, they struck Mo Wen once more.
Mo Wen's expression changed drastically, but his hands remained steady. He patted his storage bag and consumed a Dragon Ascension Spirit Pill to boost his spiritual energy.
The Kaiyue Duangjiang Halberd in Mo Wen's hand moved with incredible speed.
The Kaiyue Duangjiang Halberd slashed through the sky, its halberd shadows converging to form an exceptionally powerful, peerless halberd energy, destroying countless star meteorite fragments.
...
"Junior Brother Su You Shi, today, you are destined to lose!"
Mo Wen gathered all his spiritual energy into the Kaiyue Duangjiang Halberd, then erupted, dozens of feet of distance becoming meaningless beneath his feet.
Mo Wen leaped into the air and hurled the Kaiyue Duangjiang Halberd towards Su You Shi, roaring, "Break! Through! Kill!"
Each roar seemed to carry a special power, imbued with infinite profundity.
The Kaiyue Duangjiang Halberd shone with brilliant light, like a celestial dragon, striking the heavens and cleaving the earth, directly piercing the Star Dou Grand Formation.
With a single strike, amidst a thunderous roar, the Star Dou Grand Formation shattered into specks of light, crystalline and transparent.
The Star Dou Grand Formation was broken!
Thanks to the protection of the Luoshu and Hetu formation diagrams, Su You Shi was not injured and still had the strength to fight.
However, he had lost.
Su You Shi admitted defeat.
Mo Wen became the sole victor on this continent, successfully advancing to the top eight.
Mo Wen became the fourth inner disciple to advance to the top eight.
...
At this moment.

Yan Yan successfully advanced to the top eight.
Yan Yan became the fifth inner disciple to advance to the top eight.

On the other side.
On the sixth continental fragment, Xi Men Jing Xue, one of the Nine Holy Sons, drew his bow and strung his arrow, using the ancient remnant treasure, the Nine Star Chain Bow, to defeat his opponents one by one, successfully emerging from the hundred elite inner disciples as the final victor.
Xi Men Jing Xue also successfully advanced to the top eight.
Xi Men Jing Xue became the fifth inner disciple to advance to the top eight.
...
On the seventh continental fragment, Chu Jia Yi, one of the Nine Holy Sons, with her pseudo-divine ability, Step by Step Blossoming Lotuses, each bloom giving birth to myriad things, combined with the Taigu remnant treasure, the Six-Petaled Green Lotus, successfully emerged from the hundred elite inner disciples as the final victor.
Chu Jia Yi successfully advanced to the top eight.

Zhu Hong Zhang successfully advanced to the top eight.
Zhu Hong Zhang became the eighth inner disciple to advance to the top eight.
...
Watching the intense battles on the eight continental fragments, the numerous cultivators who had come to spectate in the floating cities and palaces could not help but marvel once again.
"Indeed, they are the elite inner disciples of the Taiyi Immortal Sect. Any one of these eight hundred people could be considered a genius in the cultivation world."
"Tsk tsk, truly a formidable group of individuals. These people are extremely rare in major sects; all of them are Foundation Establishment stage cultivators with the potential to reach the Core Formation stage!"
After observing for a while, the cultivators from smaller sects who had come to spectate felt an even deeper sense of awe towards the twenty dominant forces that ruled the Nine Provinces Continent.
...
The Taiyi Immortal Sect, as one of the ten great righteous sects, was undoubtedly the behemoth of the Qingzhou region.
Those lone cultivators and disciples of small sects were currently marveling at the true formidable foundation and strength of a dominant force like the Taiyi Immortal Sect.
The other nineteen dominant forces of the same caliber who participated in this ceremony were purely there to gauge the current strength of the younger generation of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, their intentions far from pure.
The impressive performances of these elite inner disciples of the Taiyi Immortal Sect instantly made the other nineteen dominant forces of the same caliber retract their ulterior motives.
...
"The elite inner disciples of the Taiyi Immortal Sect have gradually matured. Given some more time, they will likely be able to take over from the older generation of experts."
"Wrong, wrong, brother. Your statement is a bit too absolute."
"After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, cultivation becomes increasingly difficult. There will not be sudden leaps in strength unless one encounters rare opportunities and fortunes to soar to greater heights."
"That's true. These elite inner disciples of the Taiyi Immortal Sect have participated in several heavenly realms and obtained numerous opportunities and fortunes. Otherwise, how could they possess late Foundation Establishment stage cultivation in their early twenties?"
"The Nine Provinces Continent is vast, boundless, and its area is immeasurable. The population numbers in the trillions. Among the tens of millions of cultivators in the Nine Provinces cultivation world, even if one in a thousand is a genius, there are tens of thousands of geniuses."
"With so many geniuses, not everyone can become a top-tier cultivator. Once their potential is exhausted, they can only diligently cultivate, waiting for a breakthrough."
"But the path of cultivation is against the heavens; time waits for no one. By the time you accumulate enough, you may no longer have enough time to cultivate, leading only to silent resentment and lifelong regret."
"Of course, there are always a small number of individuals with exceptional fortune. Before their potential is exhausted, they obtain immense opportunities and fortunes, their strength rapidly increasing, progressing at an astonishing pace, and quickly growing into peerless experts who dominate all."
"For example, Zhu Shenzi, the current Sect Master of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, who is sitting here, entered the Core Formation stage at the age of forty-five and broke through to the Nascent Soul stage at two hundred and eighty-six, becoming a top-tier expert on the Nine Provinces Continent, possessing a lifespan of a thousand years."
"Therefore, opportunities and fortunes are an indispensable part of becoming a strong cultivator. No one can reach the end of the cultivation path and become a top-tier cultivator who wields overwhelming power without relying on opportunities and fortunes."
"If such a person truly exists, then they are a miracle in themselves. After all, everyone has a limit to their potential. Infinite potential is nothing short of a miracle, is it not?"
The numerous cultivators who had come to spectate began to argue intensely due to their differing views and understandings.
...
A great change suddenly occurred in the hundred-zhang jade tablet suspended in the sky.
A line of small text in the area of the foremost ranks began to surge violently, starting from the thirteenth position.
In just a few blinks of an eye, this line of text had directly ascended to the very top of the jade tablet's rankings, the first position.
The first position on the jade tablet also represented that this disciple was the first to advance to the top eight.
This scene immediately drew much attention.
The observing cultivators immediately shifted their focus back to it, gasps of surprise emanating from their mouths.
This drew even more people to cast their gaze towards the very top of the jade tablet.
"Look quickly, that name, what a speed!"
"Heavens, who is this person, to have directly surged from thirteenth place to first place..."
