Zhao Jiuyou stood outside the stone statues sweating profusely, looking at the densely packed stone statues in front of him with some dejection. He had been trying for several days, but still could not break into the central hall. These stone puppets are becoming more and more difficult to deal with from the outside to the depths, from weak to strong.
Although this is a good opportunity for promotion, I am afraid that if it is delayed any longer, other monks will follow, and then I will lose my previous advantage.
But now, he has completely changed his mind, sitting cross-legged on the ground and entering into breath control. After the immortal energy was restored, he once again charged into the stone puppets. This cycle repeats, and I feel that my understanding of the stone statues is getting clearer and clearer, and my own combat power is gradually increasing.
A few days later, as he expected, the first wave of monks finally arrived at the square. After a rough scan, there were seven people in total, but they were Xie Feng and others. They had been following Zhao Jiuyou, and finally found where the commander-in-chief was.
At this time, I saw him fighting fiercely among the stone statues. After fighting for a while, he escaped again and continued to deepen his strength. Xie Feng and others were confused, and finally said: "Everyone, be careful, these stone statues are a bit weird, don't rush too deep, and slowly adapt to the outside."
Several people agreed and slowly entered the stone statues. As usual, as soon as they entered the stone statue cluster, several stone statues attacked them. The four women Xie Feng and Qing Ya protected Zhang Hu and Song Yingjie in the circle. After fighting for a while, they roughly figured out the strength of the stone statues.
Xie Feng said: "Look at this situation, the stone statue gradually becomes stronger from the outside to the inside. You two boys can just fight on the outside to lay a solid foundation and strive to advance to the Immortal Lord stage."
The two boys' eyes lit up, and they immediately agreed to participate in the battle with the stone statue.
Zhao Jiuyou glanced around and couldn't figure it out for a moment. This team included Taoist sects, Buddhist sects, and even a half-demon. I really didn't know what kind of team they were. But he didn't have the time to care about this. The most important treasure was taken away by Cheng Ling, and now he could only find ways to increase his combat power.
The words were divided into two parts. Cheng Ling was currently walking through a valley. This place is vast and empty, with almost no monks. He only encounters some wild beasts occasionally. The most important thing is that there are many rare immortal grasses in the valley, and they are all above the seventh grade. This is really rare for him.
The herbs in the valley medicine garden are much more advanced than those of the governor, and they are much older, which is simply dazzling.
Cheng Ling scraped it for a few days and then released Hu Yue directly, allowing her to select rare herbs and transplant them into her body. Unfortunately, Jiuyou Immortal Mansion has existed for countless thousands of years, and many rare herbs have long since reached their peak, making it impossible to grow any more. Moreover, some herbs have lost their life, withered and died.
Since humans have life span, naturally flowers, plants and trees also have life span. How can it be so easy to cultivate into a demon? It requires the right time, place and people. An abandoned fairy mansion has lost its great luck. How can these herbs achieve immortality?
In desperation, Fox Yue could only collect some herbal seeds, hoping to continue to reproduce in the internal space. There were still dilapidated huts in the valley. Cheng Ling didn't have much hope at first, but he accidentally entered one and found that there were many materials, ores and fairy weapons inside. What surprised him even more was that there was also an array of recorded alchemy tools. Jade slips.
Cheng Ling was overjoyed and didn't want to let go of those huts anymore. He searched carefully one by one and found a lot of results!
Another month passed like this, and he became numb in the end. There were too many things in Jiuyou Immortal Mansion, and it took so long to collect them, but he still had no interest, so he decided to return to the Square Palace to see how Zhao Jiuyou was doing.
He stood up, took Foxyue back into the space inside his body again, and flew back towards the way he came. Soon, he was back in the square again. Looking up, he found that there were already many monks in the square, all fighting individually with the stone statues. Among them, he also discovered Xie Feng and others.
At this time, the purple dragon armor on his body had broken into pieces. As soon as he appeared, many monks recognized him, especially the Junzi Peak disciples. They hurriedly came over and asked: "Cheng Ling, I finally saw you, what's the matter?" Have you always been in the palace?"
Cheng Ling smiled bitterly in his heart, but did not show it on the surface. He said, "Yes, it's just that I have been behind you all the time, and I didn't get here until now."
Zhao Jiuyou was fighting hard among the stone statues. When he heard Cheng Ling's voice, he looked over. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and the hatred in his eyes almost completely overwhelmed him.
Cheng Ling naturally sensed the other person's eyes, but he deliberately pretended not to know, and instead asked: "What are you doing here? What's weird about these stone statues?"
Wu Tianfeng explained: "Have you seen the palace in the middle? It seems to be the main palace here, and there must be many treasures in it. But there are many stone statues blocking it outside, making it difficult for everyone to enter, so we can only advance step by step."
Cheng Ling pretended to be stunned and looked up, only to see that the formation prohibition area outside the square was crowded with people, and there were many formation masters there who were trying their best to break the formation. Some monks who couldn't bear it rushed straight to the square. After entering the formation, within an instant, he was killed by various attacks in the formation.
Cheng Ling looked at the faces outside and looked longingly towards the main hall. He couldn't help but frowned slightly. Under such onlookers, as soon as he enters the group of stone statues, he will be discovered by everyone.
Although he was not afraid, so many people discovered that he had entered this place without breaking the formation restrictions. I'm afraid they will immediately suspect whether all the treasures inside have been taken away.
Under such circumstances, it is impossible to imagine that these tens of thousands of monks would besiege themselves like crazy. It can’t be so direct, we have to find a way!
His mind turned around and he saw Zhao Jiuyou deep inside the stone statue, so he asked, "Who is that person? He rushed to the center of the stone statue. He must have some great secrets with him."
There was nothing hidden in this sentence, and it was said out loud. After hearing this, the monks in the field suddenly woke up and looked at Zhao Jiuyou with unkind eyes.
Zhao Jiuyou almost spit out his blood and cursed: "So you are Cheng Ling. Don't think you can get away by pretending to have just arrived here. You have had an incredible opportunity with the general before. Look at this place as I see it." You've already broken through the trap once."
As soon as these words came out, the monks looked at Cheng Ling suspiciously.
Cheng Ling looked up to the sky and laughed, and said: "Don't listen to his nonsense. As long as you pay attention, the formation seals behind him have almost disappeared. This means that he has left traces wherever he broke through."
Everyone suddenly realized that they came to the path where Zhao Jiuyou broke into the stone statue. After a while, they found that there were far fewer formations and restrictions in this direction.
Cheng Ling sneered in his heart. He was different from Zhao Jiuyou. Zhao Jiuyou entered the square by breaking the formation, and all the formation bans along the way were absorbed. But he cracked it all the way without any damage. As long as some time passes, those formation restrictions will be restored.
Comparing the two, Zhao Jiuyou's uniqueness was immediately revealed. Now, even though my whole body was full of words, I couldn't explain clearly.
Cheng Ling just wanted to hold Zhao Jiuyou back. This guy was so unbelievable, and he also had a map of Jiuyou Immortal Mansion. It is conceivable that once they are allowed to enter the palace first, they will not have access to the rare treasures.
This plan hit Zhao Jiuyou's destiny. He was already in the middle of the group of stone statues, far ahead of the other monks, and was about to be the first to enter the palace. But Cheng Ling's call immediately made the other monks unwilling to give in.
They rushed towards Zhao Jiuyou one after another. As mentioned before, almost all the path formations and restrictions that Zhao Jiuyou passed were absorbed by the formation breaking beads. Therefore, there was almost no obstruction, and the pursuing monks quickly came in behind him and pressed towards him step by step.
Cheng Ling secretly smiled in his heart and quietly came to the path of Xie Feng and others. He winked at them and said, "Exit first. Let's go to the back of the hall and leave this place to them!"
Xie Feng and others saw it and reacted instantly. They quickly exited the square and followed Cheng Ling to the back of the hall. In this way, the rest of the monks basically rushed to Zhao Jiuyou's side, while they were completely isolated.
Cheng Ling said: "It can provide a little concealment in this direction. No one will disturb us, so it is much safer. Let's work hard and move towards the center together!"
He had seen Zhao Jiuyou charging at the stone statue formation before, and was shocked to find that the aura on the opponent's body gradually increased, and he was already infinitely close to the peak of Immortal Lord perfection. After observing for a moment, he understood in his heart that the other party was accumulating information and looking for opportunities to break through the stone statue array.
And according to my own observations, this stone statue array does have the effect of improving cultivation. From weak to strong, gradually adding up step by step, it is really an excellent way to practice. How can we give up using this method? He then summoned everyone over, and while gradually improving, he attacked the palace in the center.
In this way, a few days later, some monks came to the square, and at the same time they saw the array of stone statues with a radius of thousands of miles. The moment they were shocked, they were even more shocked to see Zhao Jiuyou in the formation of stone statues.
But Zhao Jiuyou was even more shocked. When he found a large number of monks coming from a distance, he felt bitter in his heart. He knew that a monk must have discovered the gap swallowed by the formation-breaking bead, and this was why the monks who entered the Jiuyou Immortal Mansion swarmed in.
"Since I'm here, I'm here, am I, Zhao Jiuyou, still afraid?"
Zhao Jiuyou was still cold and arrogant, and except for Cheng Ling, the other monks ignored him. Thinking of this, his consciousness swept outside the formation of stone statues, looking for traces of Cheng Ling. But he didn't expect Cheng Ling to hide behind the palace. After searching for a while, he found nothing.
His eyes turned cold as he glanced at the monks, and his heart became extremely cold. With a cold snort, he ignored everyone and began to rush through the formation of stone statues wholeheartedly, treating all the monks as if they were nothing.
The monks outside the formation of stone statues stood empty in the air. Looking past Zhao Jiuyou to the palace behind the array of stone statues, his heart became excited. That palace was so shocking that it was simply incomparable to the palace.
Grand and towering!
It makes people feel endless pressure standing in front of it!
Would there be too few treasures in such a palace?
The impatient monks rushed into the formation of stone statues impatiently. Not surprisingly, those monks fell out of the air with a bang. By the time they discovered that the formation of stone statues actually had a no-fly function, many monks with low cultivation levels had already been beaten to death by the stone statues.
