|||->->A strong suction force came from the ground with a five-pointed star pattern, and Cheng Ling was horrified. The space in the molten cave is sealed, which is very different from the situation in the Yin Qi space. The difficulty of escaping is increased several times.
He didn't dare to stay any longer, so he took out the Dragon Sword in his hand and slashed down hard on the edge of the molten cave.
A gap of several hundred feet was suddenly opened in the molten cave, but he was probably in the center of the mountain range, and he still couldn't see the exit. He hurriedly rushed in the direction of the gap. As he moved forward, the long sword in his hand did not stop, and he slashed towards the mountain with one strike.
As it gets further and further away from the pentagram area, the suction force gradually weakens, and the figure leaves much faster. After advancing for less than half an hour, there was a "bang", and a passage was opened in the endless mountain, and the light in front was bright.
Cheng Ling rushed out instantly, flew into the air and turned around to look. I saw that the originally dense forests and mountains had collapsed into a mess, and monsters in the mountains were running around everywhere. The original lush green color disappeared and was replaced by spider web-like cracks.
Like the mouths of ferocious beasts, they choose people and devour them. He was secretly afraid of what was hidden under the five-pointed star pattern. He met it twice in a row and narrowly escaped death each time. It was definitely not a coincidence. What kind of secret was hidden in it.
After waiting in mid-air for a long time, no precious light appeared this time. Perhaps the five-pointed star pattern disappeared after it rushed into the sky. This place is no better than the Zhongnan Mountains. There are very few monks around and almost no one has noticed them.
After waiting for another hour, there was nothing special anymore. As the high-grade spiritual veins were taken away by him, and coupled with the great changes that occurred in the mountain, the originally very rich spiritual energy gradually became thinner. He shook his head and smiled bitterly. It was probably because he collected his spiritual veins that he triggered the five-pointed star array and produced such a big change.
Fortunately, this trip was quite fruitful, and more than 30 high-grade spiritual veins were collected, which was enough for the Zhou family and Jiange. Looking at the chaotic scene at his feet, he no longer wanted to stay, so he connected his fingers, stepped on the flying sword, and flew towards the Zhou family's clan.
Ten days later, when they returned to the Zhou family's land, Zhou Changtian was waiting anxiously outside the cave. Seeing Cheng Ling turn around, he rushed to greet him and said, "Fellow Taoist Ma is finally back!"
Cheng Ling nodded and asked, "Why, the head of the Zhou family has been waiting for so many days?"
"Yes, Zhou has been waiting here for five days. If fellow Taoist does not turn around, we are ready to send people to search."
Cheng Ling smiled and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, Master. I'm just going out to make some preparations. How about all the materials I need?"
Zhou Changtian handed over two storage rings and said: "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my duty. All the materials given by my fellow Taoist have been prepared. Please forgive me for being presumptuous. These materials are worth more than 100 billion. I don't know what you want to do?"
Cheng Ling laughed and said, "The Zhou family will know it after a while. Don't stop collecting the materials. Also, I need some alchemy materials here, so I'd like you to collect them too. I'll leave these elixirs to the Zhou family. , to enhance the family’s strength.”
Zhou Changtian took a look and was overjoyed. Many of these pills were needed to break through the realm, and the rest were needed to improve his cultivation level. With these elixirs, the Zhou family's children can be greatly improved in a short period of time.
By this time, he fully believed that Cheng Ling was an eighth-level alchemy master. Otherwise, how could it be possible to provide so many elixirs.
Cheng Ling said again: "Okay, Master Zhou, recently you have been
These elixirs are the main ones. Try to collect as many resources as possible. The children of the clan must also tell them to go down and practice well to prepare for the subsequent actions. "
Zhou Changtian agreed and left with the elixir given by Cheng Ling.
After returning to the cave to rest for a night, he asked Zhou Zhiyuan about the cultivation progress of the two brothers and sisters. After giving them a few pointers, Cheng Ling sent them away. He took out the materials from Zhou Changtian's ring and began to refine the formation pillars and formation flags.
It took ten days and most of all the materials were consumed to refine a large number of formation pillars and formation flags. Only then did he take action, and tap out his spiritual veins one by one. From his cave to the outside of the mountain range, there were a total of twenty-seven spiritual veins.
There are nine upper, middle and lower grade spiritual veins each. As these spiritual veins penetrate, the spiritual energy in the entire mountain range increases significantly. This was not over yet, he set up a spirit-guiding formation to connect the spiritual energy of all the spiritual veins together.
Rumble~!
Loud noises continued to be heard, and the mountains were refined by him and set up around the mountains of the Zhou family according to the orientation of the formation. The monks in the clan can hear the sound of the mountain colliding every day, which is forming a formation.
"Kaka" "Boom"
For a whole month, the original mountain tops changed drastically. Mountains rose up around the clan, forming an entire encirclement surrounding it. The spiritual energy in the mountain increased at a speed visible to the naked eye, ten times, twenty times, thirty times...it did not stop until forty times.
The disciples of the Zhou family in the mountain range were all shocked to see the changes. In the end, they couldn't help but knelt down. In such a rich aura environment, they could feel their cultivation rising even when they breathed.
Before, some of the family members didn't take it seriously when they followed the family master's orders to build a cave for Cheng Ling. But now, they finally saw what the other party was doing.
Cheng Ling did not stop when the spirit gathering formation was raised. He also wanted to set up a mountain protection formation for his clan. Now that he had sufficient spiritual sources, the mountain protection formation was even more luxurious. The Four Elephant Killing Immortal Sword Formation plus the defensive formation were set up, and then they stopped.
It took nearly twenty days for the entire Zhou family to be enveloped in the formation, and the rich spiritual energy circulated within the clan. After Zhou Changtian came back, he was shocked to see the changes in front of him and was speechless for a long time.
He came to Cheng Ling's cave and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Zhou Changtian would like to see you."
Cheng Ling came out and asked in surprise: "Why does the head of the Zhou family call me your lord?"
Zhou Changtian said: "Zhou was too blind to see Mount Tai before. Everything you have done for the Zhou family is deeply touched in my heart. From today on, you are the esteemed one of my Zhou family. But if you are given a destiny, you will obey it no matter what!" "
Cheng Ling's eyes flashed, and he nodded silently, agreeing. Only then did I feel true respect from Zhou Changtian's tone. In this case, for the long-term plan for the future, the due respect and inferiority must be established.
He said calmly: "Since the Zhou family leader shows his love, I will be disrespectful. I wonder why you are here this time?"
"Your Majesty, here are some of the materials you requested to collect. Please give me some more time, Your Majesty. The amount of materials you need is too large. The treasury of the trading hall has been emptied, and other monks are needed to collect it."
After saying that, he handed over a storage ring respectfully.
Cheng Ling nodded and said: "Thank you for your hard work, Master Zhou. Please collect the remaining materials as soon as possible. Don't worry, I will try my best to satisfy the monks in the clan who are cultivating the elixir."
"Yes, Your Majesty, please take your leave!"
After Zhou Changtian left, Cheng Ling took out a few rings, which contained mineral materials collected recently. With a sweep of his consciousness, he felt that the number was barely enough, so he left the cave, came to the valley, and found a hidden place.
The valley here was the inner valley within the cave, and he was the only one living there. Zhou Zhiyuan and Zhou Qi were both in the cave, but Cheng Ling gave them the right to enter the inner valley and practice at the edge of the lake. As for other places, they could not move around without his permission.
He planned to set up a teleportation formation in the inner valley. The Canglan Continent is too vast, and with his current cultivation and sword-wielding skills, it would take several months to travel in all directions. This is too slow, and the connection between Jiange and the southern region is not close enough.
After planning, it was planned to set up a teleportation array in the inner valley. As long as the teleportation array here is set up, and then back to the sword pavilion, the two can be connected. By then, going to Jiange and the southern area will only be a matter of tea.
Of course, setting up a teleportation array is not a simple matter. The existing teleportation arrays on Canglan Continent were established by many formation masters in ancient times. They spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build them. Now Cheng Ling is the only one, and it takes only There will be more.
Therefore, he asked Zhou Changtian to collect a large amount of materials. Along the towering mountains, Cheng Ling finally determined the place to set up the teleportation array.
First of all, a concealment formation must be set up on the periphery. This teleportation formation is intended to lead directly to the sword pavilion. If something unexpected happens, the sword pavilion will be completely exposed and there will be no room for change. Therefore, he spared no expense in using a large amount of materials to set up a defensive formation and a concealment formation between the two mountain walls.
After finishing, I returned to the cave to rest for a night.
The next day, as usual, he gave Zhou Zhiyuan and Zhou Qi some pointers on their swordsmanship. This time he talked a lot and in detail, and both of them felt they benefited a lot. After it was over, he said: "Zhiyuan, from today onwards I will start to retreat. Please digest the sword skills I taught you for the time being. Don't disturb me easily."
Zhou Zhiyuan bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Also, the materials I require must be collected as soon as possible. After collection, place them outside the cave door. I will naturally come to collect them. Remember, no one can enter the inner valley without my permission."
"Yes, I will obey your orders!"
Cheng Ling nodded and sent the two of them away.
After they left, he returned to the teleportation array area and began to calmly deduce. Fortunately, he still has the formation inheritance left by Haochen in his mind. Although the speed of deduction is slow, he is still moving forward steadily after learning from it.
Soon, more than a month passed, and all the Zhou family disciples were practicing crazily in the mountains. Later, Zhou Changtian also felt the excellent environment in the mountains and stayed in the mountains. For this reason, he even gave the mountains a name, called Tongyou Valley.
A huge mountain gate archway was set up at the exit, and some of the extremely talented disciples in the clan were moved to the valley. Then they used the pills given to him by Cheng Ling and distributed them all. The cultivation progress of the Zhou family's disciples increased exponentially. .
As for the industry and material collection in Xiangcheng, it was left to Zhou Zhiyuan and Uncle Fu to handle it. But he didn't expect that after months of collecting materials in Xiangcheng, the Zhou family gradually became prominent. Several major surrounding forces were shocked by their transaction volume. A conspiracy was slowly brewing!
