Abstract: We explore conformally coupled scalar theory in AdS${}_6$ extensively and their classical solutions by employing power expansion order by order in its self-interaction coupling $lambda$. We study holographic correlation functions of scalar operator deformations to a certain 5-dimensional conformal field theory where the operators share the same scaling dimension $Delta=3$, from the classical solutions. For our solutions, we choose a scheme where we remove co-linear divergences of momenta along the AdS boundary directions which frequently appear in the classical solutions. This shows clearly that the holographic correlation functions are free from the co-linear divergences. It turns out that this theory provides correct conformal 2- and 3- point functions of the $Delta=3$ scalar operators as expected in previous literature. It makes sense since 2- and 3- point functions are determined by global conformal symmetry not being dependent on the details of the conformal theory. We also get 4-point function from this holographic model. In fact, it turns out that the 4-point correlation function is not conformal because it does not satisfy the special conformal Ward identity although it does dilation Ward identity and respect $SO(5)$ rotation symmetry. However, in the co-linear limit that all the external momenta are in a same direction, the 4-point function is conformal which means that it satisfy the special conformal Ward identity. We inspect holographic $n$-point functions of this theory which can be obtained by employing a certain Feynman-like rule. This rule is a construction of $n$-point function by connecting $l$-point functions each other where $l<n$. In the co-linear limit, these $n$-point functions reproduce the conformal $n$-point functions of $Delta=3$ scalar operators in $d=5$ Euclidean space addressed in arXiv:2001.05379.
