Unknowingly, three days passed by in a hurry. Gu Qingxi and his party have penetrated deep into the hinterland of the secret realm. The strange light on the multicolored stones is dazzling, and the five colors are becoming more and more balanced.
This means that they are getting closer to the core of the formation.
Gu Qingxi's expression was much more relaxed than when she first entered the secret realm. She found that the closer she got to the core of the formation, the stronger the law of the five elements became, and the changes on the colorful stones became more obvious.
So now she no longer needs to focus on it, she can find the direction by just glancing at it from the corner of her eye.
She is more worried about the monsters now, but fortunately, although she has encountered several groups of monsters along the way, the strongest ones are only at level seven, which is far inferior to the three she encountered a few days ago. Thunder Rhinoceros.
She was a little confused at first, but after thinking about it, she understood: Monsters have their own territory. In this territory, high-level monsters and low-level monsters can coexist, but there will never be peace between two powerful groups. A situation of coexistence.
Obviously, this area is the territory of the three thunder rhinoceros. Apart from them, of course there will be no monsters of equal or stronger strength.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, how did you defeat those three thunder rhinoceros?" Peng Xuanyi asked.
He has been recalling Gu Qingxi's three shocking swords these days, trying to understand something from them, but he still can't figure it out.
In his opinion, Gu Qingxi's sword skills were very strong, and his spiritual power was indeed much stronger than that of monks at the same level, but he would not be able to defeat the three thunder rhinoceros with his Nascent Soul Dzogchen cultivation.
In the past few days, Gu Qingxi had been concentrating on searching for the core of the formation, and he didn't dare to ask any more questions. But now that he saw Gu Qingxi relaxing, he couldn't hold back anymore.
"Actually, those Thunder Rhinoceros have impure blood and are not that strong." Gu Qingxi said casually.
This is not to deal with Peng Xuanyi, but it is the fact.
Generally, after reaching the eighth level or above, the strength of a monster is directly related to its bloodline. Take Thunder Rhinoceros as an example. They are all ninth-level monsters. The strength of Thunder Rhinoceros with pure bloodline can reach the Perfection of God Transformation. If they can understand the laws of heaven and earth, they may break through the bloodline restrictions and achieve unity.
And if the blood is mixed and impure, the strength can only reach the early stage of divine transformation. If the blood is too mixed, it may not even reach the stage of divine transformation.
The three Thunder Rhinoceros they met last time were like this. They were said to be ninth-level monsters, but their strength only barely crossed the threshold of becoming gods.
And the concentration of her spiritual power completely exceeded Peng Xuanyi's imagination.
Other monks can also condense their spiritual power by suppressing levels, thereby possessing stronger combat power than monks of the same level, or defeating enemies by leapfrogging their levels. But this kind of suppression is limited. Generally, it can only be suppressed for one level. Any more will damage the meridians, and you must be promoted if you don't want to be promoted.
But Gu Qingxi was different. Because of the backlash of the forbidden technique, her cultivation was forcibly suppressed and she couldn't be promoted even if she wanted to. Therefore, her spiritual power could be condensed without limit, and her meridians could be strengthened without limit.
If she guessed correctly, her spiritual power and meridian strength at this time were actually equivalent to the middle stage of spiritual transformation.
With this kind of spiritual power, coupled with powerful sword skills, and the power of Yafeng's own divine sword, it is certainly not difficult to deal with three ninth-level monsters that are equivalent to barely stepping over the gods.
However, the forbidden technique was too complicated and was her secret, so there was no need to explain so much to Peng Xuanyi.
"So that's it." Peng Xuanyi said suddenly, but still a little doubtful.
No matter how mixed and impure the bloodline is, a ninth-level monster will still be a ninth-level monster. Just like a strong person in the realm of God Transformation, even if he is a God Transformation poured out through elixirs, he is still a God Transformation after all.
With Nascent Soul's Dzogchen cultivation, it would be extremely difficult to deal with an Avatar. It was still incredible to him that he could kill three of them with one sword so easily.
Forget it, forget about it, can you, a disciple of the Earth-level Demon Sect, figure out the affairs of the Hidden World Family? The more Peng Xuanyi thought about it, the more confused he became, so he simply stopped wasting his brain and continued to figure it out happily on his own.
"We're here." Gu Qingxi said suddenly.
On the multicolored stone, the five colors were dazzling, with no distinction between strong and weak. She could also clearly feel the wonderful rhythm of the five elements' laws that complemented each other and circulated endlessly.
Obviously, this is the core of the Five Elements Formation.
"Master Gu, are you sure this is the core of the formation?" Peng Xuanyi was a little doubtful.
This is a mountain col with a few large trees growing sparsely around it. The scenery is definitely not beautiful.
There are a lot of medicinal herbs and flowers at your feet, but the highest level is only six or seven, which is similar to the situation when you first entered the secret realm.
In their imagination, since it is the core of the formation, there must be spiritual springs flowing and strange flowers blooming, as beautiful as a fairyland. Eighth-grade and ninth-grade medicinal herb spiritual crystals are everywhere. Maybe they can also see the legendary treasures of heaven, materials and earth. I never expected it to be such an ordinary place.
"Sure." Gu Qingxi said firmly.
The Law of the Five Elements can be said to be one of the most basic laws in the world. Most of the laws of heaven and earth are derived from the Law of the Five Elements. Therefore, it is normal for the core of the formation to return to its original nature and look ordinary.
Besides, Peng Xuanyi and others' spiritual awareness was too weak to notice the rhythm of the law, but she had already felt it, and of course she would not doubt it.
"That's good, that's good, Qingxi, you should practice quickly, we will protect you." Long Zaiye knew why Gu Qingxi was looking for the core of the formation, and said happily after hearing this.
Then he drew his long sword and stood in front of Gu Qingxi. His majestic and high-spirited look was somewhat similar to the door god in the New Year paintings, if he wasn't too skinny.
With your little strength, if you still protect me, I'm afraid you'll protect me to death without even knowing what's going on. This time, Gu Qingxi was not polite to him. She directly grabbed the Dragon Gate God by the neck, lifted him aside like a chicken, and then took out the spiritual stones and crystals to arrange the formation.
Although apart from the three Thunder Rhinoceros, she never encountered any decent monsters along the way, that was only because she was too strong. In fact, even a seventh-level monster can pose a great threat to Long Zaiye and fellow apprentices Peng Xuanyi.
Moreover, those Thunder Rhinoceros were quite intelligent, and they should have recovered from their injuries in a few days. They might come to retaliate at the critical moment of her promotion breakthrough, so she had to make adequate preparations.
Whether she can break the restriction and achieve backlash, she must not be careless in this one move.
"Qing Xi, let me help." As soon as he saw Gu Qingxi setting up the formation, Long Zai Ye became interested and excitedly took out the spirit stone.
Gu Qingxi glanced at him angrily: Are you here to help me die more happily?
Long Zaiye also knew that his formation skills were a bit unreliable. Seeing Gu Qingxi's unkind eyes, he smiled coquettishly, put away the spirit stones and retreated obediently.
It took more than an hour for Gu Qingxi to set up the formation.
"Elder Long, Fellow Daoist Peng, you stay here. No matter what happens, don't move even half a step, otherwise your lives may be in danger, and I won't be able to save you by then." He led Long Zaiye and several others to the formation. From the edge of the corner, Gu Qingxi said seriously.
