Chapter 379 Arrangement of the Grand Formation
Time flies and it will be three days later.
During these three days, the practitioners of the Golden Elixir Stage came and went and were extremely busy. Although the others did not ask, they also knew that these adults must be busy with the evil-purifying formation, so they did not dare to disturb them anymore. They usually talked less about birthdays.
But what is gratifying is that the expressions on the faces of these adults have always been calm. I think things went smoothly.
As expected, when many disciples were required to participate on this day, the golden elixir practitioners who had looked very bad a while ago even had a faint look of relief in the corners of their eyes. Seeing this, all the disciples were determined. Only Su Ziyi looked at the vast wilderness before leaving the camp and couldn't help but wonder, is Qin Sikai really gone like this?
Thinking of this, Su Ziyi couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Bian Qing stepped forward, put his shoulder against Su Ziyi's, and touched him gently: "It's time to go." This time, the few remaining foundation-building practitioners were not incorporated into the formation. In the procession, they were only required to stand outside the formation and be responsible for checking the situation. If any disciples were spiritually exhausted or other situations occurred, they would immediately enter the formation to support them.
After giving instructions on everything, everyone left the camp and headed towards the depths of the wasteland.
It only takes less than half an hour to travel the golden elixir, and it only takes a few hours to build the foundation and control the sword. However, for the disciples in the Qi refining stage, this journey is not that long. Therefore, at the very beginning, the leader of the Xuan Cang Sect threw out a magic weapon from his sleeve, which instantly stretched into a small boat about five feet long in the storm, and carried everyone in it.
Suddenly, there was an uproar among the disciples, and everyone's eyes were shining.
Bian Qing was also very excited: "It's a flying magic weapon!" Flying magic weapons are rare, and it is extremely rare to be able to carry more than a hundred people at the same time, so it is inevitable that he will be a little embarrassed. Although Su Ziyi looked very reserved on his face, he was also very excited in his heart. He couldn't help but look around the boat with his eyes.
The golden elixir cultivators from other sects were also slightly surprised. They did not expect that Xuan Cang Sect would be so generous.
The leader of the Xuan Cang Sect standing on the bow of the boat waved his hand, and the boat took off in the wind, rising dozens of feet into the sky. The Qi Refining Stage disciples who had never controlled a sword before were filled with surprise. I couldn't help but pull the sleeves of the person next to me. After Su Ziyi and the others were excited for a while, they have now completely calmed down. Except for Bian Qing, there is still a strong curiosity about this flying magic weapon in his eyes.
Two hours later, the flying boat slowly landed.
Before landing, the disciples who were still excited about the flying boat fell silent one by one. They got off the flying boat in fear and looked at the scene in front of them with incredulous expressions. Su Ziyi and others who were standing behind were also astonished and could not say a word for a long time.
Until a golden elixir cultivator from the Qibao Pavilion urged impatiently, everyone moved forward as if they had just woken up from a dream, but they took every step with trepidation.
Su Ziyi looked forward as he walked, his eyes were deep and he couldn't see everything no matter how hard he looked.
When black ghosts spread all over the wasteland, everyone realized how powerful they were. But now, all the ghosts huddled together and turned into a big black ball about ten feet high. They were like strips of black tadpoles, densely packed and occupying all the space, and burrowing in and out like loaches, making people feel numb all over.
What makes people feel even more disgusting is that while these black ghosts are swimming around, they are also devouring their surrounding companions!
The body is obviously light and insubstantial, but every bite they take can really make the limbs fall apart. I saw that their cloth-like bodies were missing a piece in an instant, and several black pieces of different sizes floated in the air, disappearing in an instant. Combined with the hideous and ugly face of the black ghost, it made people feel chilly. .
Su Ziyi casually scanned and found no black ghosts among them that were lower than the foundation establishment stage. At least they were in the early stage of foundation establishment.
And inside this big black ball, there was a faint and powerful pressure, which instantly shook the legs of all the disciples in the Qi Refining Stage, and even the weaker ones knelt down. The cultivators of the golden elixir stage who were wielding swords in the air couldn't help but snorted coldly when they saw this. A burst of cold breath spread around them with them as the center, and it was like the pressure was suppressed, making many disciples feel better in an instant. A lot.
But even if this is the case, everyone is still afraid.
Bian Qing patted Su Yulang's hand. Su Yulang also glanced at Su Ziyi, who was also watching him, and then nodded and walked towards the big black ball. As soon as he moved, many other disciples who were still in a trance also woke up. Headed by the Xuan Cang Sect disciples, they followed Su Yulang and walked towards their position.
When everyone stood still, the leader of the Xuan Cang Sect, who had already taken his position, shook his sleeves, and a large number of magic weapons used as formation points fell down and fell into the hands of the disciples. The disciples held the magic weapon in their hands, and now they had some sense of reality in their hearts. They squeezed the things in their hands tightly, and their eyes when looking at the big black ball were no longer so fearful.
Su Ziyi, Bian Qing and others also raised their swords into the air, with one person standing each in the southeast and northwest.
After confirming that everyone was in place, the leader of the Xuan Cang Sect flew to the top of the big black ball alone. As soon as he stood still, a small golden bell appeared in his hand. He shook his hand, and the small bell rang with a dazzling white light - "ding, ding, ding, ding -" wherever the bell passed, all the depression was swept away, as if it had been purified. Same.
The sect leader threw his hand, and the bell that had never stopped ringing flew up.
And this seemed to be a signal. A magic weapon suddenly appeared in the hands of the Golden Core cultivators standing in their respective positions. These magic weapons were not of the same standard, but all of them had great aura and were obviously very extraordinary. They activated them like the master of Xuan Cang Sect, and instantly connected them with white spiritual threads, outlining a mysterious and complex pattern.
Su Ziyi, who was holding the sword in mid-air, opened his mouth slightly in surprise, his eyes flashing. He had no idea that this evil-purifying formation was actually composed like this.
Of course there are more!
In mid-air, when the spiritual thread collusion was completed, the arrays that had been arranged by many golden elixir practitioners were also activated at the same time. In an instant, countless spiritual threads burst out from the ground, intricately connected with the patterns in the air, and finally reached the small golden bell that kept ringing at the top, completely surrounding the big black ball!
The Qi Refining Stage disciples who had already taken their positions shouted loudly, and instantly the magic weapons in their hands began to glow, connecting the white spiritual threads to the formation, instilling more spiritual power into the formation. This caused the formation to shine brightly, forcing the black ghosts on the outermost edge of the ball to flee inward.
However, the moment the formation was formed, nearly one-tenth of the black ghosts were wiped out, which showed the power of the formation.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Su Ziyi couldn't calm down for a long time. He touched his chest and felt that his pounding heart was about to jump out of his chest. He has never seen such a spectacular scene. Even in the water area, when the three elders of Zhou Mansion collaborated with many foundation-building elders to kill the bloody human form, it could not compare to what he saw in front of him.
It was hard not to get his blood boiling.
As the number of black ghosts continued to decrease, those hidden inside gradually emerged, from the early stage of foundation establishment to the middle stage of foundation establishment, then to the late stage of foundation establishment, and even to the end, there were even those in the golden elixir stage! Looking at the black ghosts in the golden elixir stage, who were definitely more than one or two, Su Ziyi felt that his face was about to break.
this--
Su Ziyi simply couldn't imagine what they would do if the sect master and others did not show up in time and set up the evil-purifying formation.
The appearance of the golden elixir stage black ghost made the formation feel threatened. Under the luck of the golden elixir stage cultivator, all the magic weapons that make up the key points of the formation slowly pushed inward, driving the formation together. As the formation deepened, the spiritual threads drawn out by the formation were stretched extremely long, which suddenly increased the demand for spiritual power, forcing the Qi Refining Stage disciples holding these magic weapons to grit their teeth and fight for their lives.
Su Ziyi and the four others immediately became on guard.
Perhaps the higher the strength of the black ghost, the higher the intelligence. Although those black ghosts were afraid of the large formation before, they just followed their instincts to avoid it. But now, as soon as the golden elixir stage black ghosts appear, the black energy around them immediately rolls out, and they are ejected towards the large formation, and they immediately follow the spiritual thread. When it touched a piece, it made a "sting" sound, as if something was on fire.
And when they touched like this, the large formation that was slowly pushing forward actually stopped.
Everyone was shocked.
But then, an extremely calm voice came to their ears: "Continue." It was the leader of the Xuan Cang Sect. Gujing Wubo's voice did not contain any emotion at all, but at this time it was injected into everyone like a tonic. In his heart, the disciple who was still a little flustered immediately calmed down and devoted himself to the matter in hand.
However, in the end, this is still a bit difficult for some disciples.
After the first disciple knelt down due to lack of spiritual power, Su Ziyi immediately entered the formation. While pouring spiritual power into the disciple's body, he stuffed a Qi Yi Powder into the opponent's mouth. Although he didn't have much of this kind of low-level elixir, it was still enough for emergencies. And because of his action, the spiritual thread that was originally extinguished in front of him suddenly became bright again.
Chapter 380 Half-step Nascent Soul
Su Ziyi and the other four immediately became busy.
Since Su Ziyi gave each of the other three people a bottle of Snow Melt Pill at the beginning, everyone didn't feel that it was too difficult for a while.
Because of their joining, the formation became stable again, even more powerful than before, breaking the stalemate with the golden elixir stage black ghosts.
Half an hour later, all the black ghosts blocking the steps of the formation were wiped out. Not even a trace of turbid air was left, and they were purified by the formation. As soon as they disappeared, the formation suddenly moved forward for a long distance, but this time it didn't go too far before it stopped again.
Su Ziyi, who sensed the situation, looked up and found that there were no black ghosts rushing up and sticking to the formation. It was completely empty.
How is this going?
The remaining black ghosts from the Foundation Establishment Stage and Golden Core Stage were all squeezing toward the middle at this moment, as fast as they were running for their lives. However, in the eyes of the Xuan Cang Sect Master and other Jindan practitioners, this situation is not the case. Instead, a touch of caution appears on the calm face.
Suddenly, Su Ziyi's eyes twitched as he had been focusing on the formation, and he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
If, just now, he saw it correctly - these black ghosts seem to be decreasing?
As if to verify the authenticity of his idea, the black ball shrank in size again. And its mutation alerted the array-eye magic weapon headed by the golden bell. A loud jingling sound was heard, and the entire array quickly shrank inward, absorbing more energy from the array disciples at an extremely fast speed. With so much spiritual power, before Su Ziyi and the others could react, a group of disciples fell down.
But the pace of the formation's advance did not slow down at all.
Su Ziyi and others' hearts moved, and they immediately withdrew all their attention, and then quickly mobilized the spiritual power in their bodies, picked up the magic weapon closest to them, and poured the spiritual power into it. Suddenly, the spiritual thread that was about to break stabilized again. However, as this spiritual thread stabilized, more surrounding spiritual threads dimmed.
Even the disciples in the Qi refining stage couldn't hold on any longer.
The disciples fell down in twos and threes. After a cup of tea, only four of them, Su Ziyi, still had their spiritual threads running. At this time, the large formation that had exhausted all the spiritual energy in the Qi Refining Stage disciples finally slowed down, and finally stopped three feet away from the black ball in the middle, which was only one foot in size.
"Uh-huh -"
Suddenly, a strong suction force came along the spiritual line, sweeping away nearly two-thirds of the spiritual power in Su Ziyi's body, causing Su Ziyi to groan. As for Bian Qing and Cui Yu, who were in the early stages of foundation building, their expressions changed even more, and their lips became a little pale.
Su Ziyi's heart trembled, and he stared closely at the black ball, which was no more than one foot in size.
He knew something big was coming.
Sure enough - I saw a burst of black mist rolling over the entire sphere, spinning in the void. In the blink of an eye, it suddenly shrank in and disappeared, as if it was suddenly eaten by something. And after these black ghosts disappeared, only a hint of black in the center was left - the last black ghost.
At this moment, Su Ziyi could no longer hold on, and his body became weak. The last trace of spiritual power in his body was plundered by the formation, and he knelt down as soon as his body lost balance.
But until his knees landed on the ground, his eyes were still staring at the only black ghost.
This is...
bang, bang, bang -
Su Ziyi felt that the blood in his body was flowing backwards, and his heart was beating violently, so loudly that people around him could hear it. However, at this moment, the people around him were either in a severe coma, or were just like Su Ziyi, so no one noticed that just a trace of despair and fear accumulated in the eyes, and finally overflowed their eyes.
"No way..." A disciple in the Qi refining stage who had not completely fainted muttered to himself, but as soon as he finished saying this, the last trace of clarity turned into darkness and left him, and he fell unconscious. .
No one thought that the last black ghost left behind would be so terrifying.
Except for the Golden Core cultivators, no one can see through the opponent's strength. They only feel that the aura on the opponent is extremely terrifying, more frightening than that of all the Golden Core cultivators present. And what is more terrifying than the practitioners in the golden elixir stage? Is it the late stage of the Golden elixir, the peak of the Golden elixir, or... Nascent Soul?
This thought, which makes people go crazy just thinking about it, has been lingering in everyone's mind for a long time, and instantly makes people lose all their fighting spirit.
When Su Ziyi thought of this, his thighs lost the last of their strength, and his whole body collapsed to the ground. But even in such a sorry state, his eyes were always fixed on the black ghost, as if he wanted to see something from the other person.
"Now we're in trouble."
Suddenly, an old and anxious voice reached the ears of the person who had not yet fainted. Su Ziyi turned his eyes and found that the person speaking was still the golden elixir cultivator from the Treasure Pavilion. His eyebrows were furrowed, and the hand controlling the magic weapon was tense, obviously very anxious: "It's actually half-step Yuanying."
Half-step Yuanying.
Su Ziyi, who was already a little confused, chewed on this word for a long time before he suddenly woke up. All the difficulties were swept away at this moment, and he became extremely sober again. He looked at the black ghost with disbelief, and his limp body began to tremble slightly. If he didn't have any extra strength, he would probably scream in surprise.
Oh my god, it’s actually half-step Nascent Soul!
Since coming to Qingze Continent, whether it is from various rumors or as we all know, the Golden Core Stage has already been the highest combat power in a country. Of course, there are also divisions into early, middle and late stages. But - among so many practitioners of the Golden Core stage, there has never been any news that anyone has advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, or even the signs of a breakthrough.
Because it is too difficult to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Su Ziyi once heard other elders in the sect say in a casual conversation that judging from the current level of spiritual power and various resources in Qingze Continent, being promoted to the Golden Core stage is already very impressive, and it is simply impossible to advance to the Nascent Soul stage. Maybe, unless someone can devour most of the spiritual power and resources on the Qingze Continent for his own use, there is no need to even think about it.
But can anyone really use most of the resources of Qingze Continent for their own use?
The answer is impossible.
Regardless of whether there are people with such qualifications and monsters, the various forces that control the continent's resources will not allow such people to exist, so for people from any country or force, the golden elixir is already the pinnacle. Nascent Soul, that is just an illusory existence, not realistic at all.
But now, the black ghost of a half-step Nascent Soul appeared in front of him.
Although the half-step Nascent Soul is not the real Nascent Soul, it is already very close to the Nascent Soul stage, and it is the level of cultivation that all the practitioners of the Golden Elixir Stage here want to achieve but cannot achieve. Therefore, after these Golden Core cultivators discovered the strength of this black ghost, their eyes could not help but reveal a trace of covetousness, but at the same time, their faces became more cautious.
No one can read the inner world of the black ghost from its face, so they don't know what the black ghost is thinking.
However, when everyone saw the other party raise his head slightly, they immediately became vigilant. At the same time, the spiritual power in their hands was strong, and the formation was suddenly operated to the extreme. And just when the formation was shining brightly across the sky, the black ghost looked up to the sky, opened its mouth and roared silently. The entire formation was completely shrouded in black mist, and nothing could be seen clearly.
These black mists were extremely evil, and as soon as they appeared, they dimmed the light network of the formation, making everyone's hearts tighten, and then they increased the output of spiritual power in their hands. But even so, even with all the efforts of so many golden elixir cultivators, the formation never took a step forward and even started to retreat.
For a moment, people were panicked.
The moment the black ghost broke out, Su Ziyi's vision went dark, his mind was completely dizzy, and he didn't know what happened in the formation. But just by looking at his own experience, he could guess that the situation was not good, so even though he was not conscious yet, he still began to feel anxious in his heart. What should he do?
And just when the situation was deadlocked and even turning to the bad side, a message was sent to Su Ziyi's ears - "I'll lend you that seal." After saying that, Su Ziyi felt a light in his arms
. The nameless seals put together floated out of his clothes, and then flew upward lightly. At this time, Su Ziyi also had some strength, raised his eyelids and looked over, but he only saw the seal disappearing in a white light, and nothing could be seen.
I hope this seal can help the sect master.
After the leader of the Xuan Cang Sect took away the nameless seal, Su Ziyi didn't know what he did with it. It was only when the seal left him that he couldn't hold a cup of tea, the atmosphere in the formation became unstable again. The cold Yin Qi began to subside, and the people around him asked questions and gradually recovered, and their consciousness slowly returned.
By the time Bingliang was gone, it was already half an hour later.
In this half hour, the aura in the formation was violent several times, and it could be seen that the opponent was struggling very fiercely, but even so, with the help of the nameless seal, it was suppressed bit by bit, and finally Completely purified by the formation. However, this battle was extremely difficult for the Golden Core cultivators. It drained almost all of their spiritual energy, and their faces were all pale.
But before they could land and meditate to reply, their eyes suddenly turned upside down again.
The turbidity has been removed and the restrictions have been broken.
