Saintly Virtue Daoist solemnly watched everyone as they got ready, then took a cross-legged seat on the stone steps several meters above them...
As Saintly Virtue Daoist quietly chanted an incantation, the duster hanging from his left arm gradually glowed with a purple light, becoming brighter over time.
"Mountain Collapse Technique, rise!"
As Saintly Virtue Daoist's words fell, nearly a thousand disciples formed seals and chanted incantations, and the transparent shield of the Mountain Protection Array became tangible under the empowerment!
