This is an incomplete text. Wu Changan remembered seeing it in the sect's classics, but it took too long and he only remembered this paragraph. There should be more.
Seeing Wu Changan open his eyes, Zhou Yang hurriedly asked about breaking the formation.
"If the formation is diverted by cutting off the earth's veins, the formation will not last long." Wu Changan thought again and said to himself.
"Cut the earth veins and draw them away?" Although Zhou Yang had heard about the theory of earth veins, he didn't know much about it.
"That's right, cut off the earth's veins!" Wu Chang'an stood up and said excitedly.
"Brother Wu, please forgive me!" Zhou Yang asked hurriedly.
"When we find a way to cut off the earth veins here and lead them elsewhere, the power of the phantom array will be greatly reduced. Lingshi alone cannot sustain it for long!"
When everyone heard that there was a way, they all looked happy and came over one after another.
"Old Wu, how can we cut off the earth's veins?" Song Laohu yelled urgently.
"This..." Wu Changan didn't seem to know much. He couldn't give a satisfactory answer to Song Laohu's question, and he started thinking hard again.
"The formation flag of the fantasy formation usually falls several feet underground, and naturally absorbs the power of the earth's veins above several feet. But the area here is too large, and it is not easy to find the vicinity of the formation flag." Wu Changan raised his head and frowned.
"Just find it near the formation flag?"
"Yes, there are large and small magic arrays. For small magic arrays, you only need to find a few feet around the formation flag. For large magic arrays, you only need to be close to the formation flag for tens of feet.
The phantom formation that traps us is a large phantom formation. It is estimated that cutting off the earth veins within a hundred feet of the formation flag will be effective.
However, what I know is only superficial knowledge. There are large and small magic arrays, and there are many types. Even if some earth veins are cut off, I don't know if it will be useful. "
"Hey, let's try it first and see if it works!" Hu Zhiran was also very anxious.
"Four formation flags, a hundred feet range!" Zhou Yang repeated these two words silently, while his mind was spinning.
This mountain forest is probably no more than a hundred miles in radius, and it is covered by thick fog. It is not easy to find the 100-foot range of the formation flag! Not to mention that they had already been spinning around in circles for a long time.
"We spread out and scattered some tokens on the ground. Once we saw these tokens, we immediately acted in the opposite direction. Also, we tried to use magical tools to dig out several feet of the ground, and then we tried to find a way to use the spirit in the dug area. Cover it with force and prevent the power of the earth veins from flowing to all directions." After thinking for a moment, Wu Changan proposed a solution.
Although this plan is feasible, it will definitely take a lot of time. It is the stupidest method, but there is no other way.
"I think it's okay, let's all work separately!" Zhou Yang was the first to agree.
"Okay, let's do it according to Brother Wu's method, let's go!" Song Laohu and others also understood what Wu Changan meant and dispersed.
It's easier said than done.
After everyone dispersed, they tried several times and stopped spinning in circles, but they still couldn't figure out where to go.
It's not difficult to dig several feet into the ground, and it can be done without a magic weapon, but it requires trial and error, from near to far, and the workload is still very large.
Moreover, they have to use spiritual power to wrap up the dug-out land, which consumes a lot of their power.
At first, everyone dug for a long time, but did not feel any changes in the phantom array.
However, the hard work paid off. As the scope of the excavation became larger and larger, the dense fog in the illusion array seemed to be a little less, which showed that it was effective. When everyone saw this, they worked even more vigorously.
A whole day later, the thick fog in the mountain forest gradually dissipated, and the forest stopped moving. The sunlight filtered in, and the surrounding scenery fell clearly into everyone's eyes.
This mountain forest is indeed a hundred miles in radius, and in the distance is a tall mountain with dense vegetation, intertwined pines and cypresses, and brackets and cornices peeking out from the treetops.
It's a palace! That's right, it's a palace!
They finally broke through the illusory formation and saw the light of day again.
The tree species where everyone is standing are exactly the same and are about the same size. They should be planted by humans.
Spreading out from here, there are various kinds of trees, but they are distributed very regularly, in circles, and the tree species in each circle are different. If there is a formation master here, he will definitely be able to see the differences among them. secret.
However, after the hard work of Zhou Yang and others, the mountains and forests are full of potholes. Those big potholes have no order at all, which is in sharp contrast to these regular woods.
Although the formation flags were not found, the ground veins here were completely destroyed, and those formation flags were probably useless.
What is surprising is not these, but the many bones in the pit, including those of mortals and cultivators.
Without digging underground, these bones would not have been discovered.
Mortals and cultivators have different physiques, so the colors of the bones left behind are naturally different. And as the cultivation level increases, the color of the bones becomes lighter and lighter, and the bones become harder and harder.
Among these bones, Zhou Yang also found two skeletons that were obviously different from the others.
Although the two skeletons are incomplete, they are crystal clear and as lustrous as flawless jade.
"This..." Everyone gasped. The owners of these two skeletons were definitely not simple people. Their cultivation during their lifetime must have been unfathomable.
Could it be that he is a master of golden elixir?
No, a golden elixir master will never be trapped by this illusory formation!
In their opinion, this formation is extremely mysterious and extremely difficult to decipher, but the abilities of the masters of the golden elixir are definitely beyond their imagination.
In the eyes of those masters, this illusion formation should not be worth mentioning and can be easily broken. If they were not trapped by the phantom formation, how did they die? ? Could it be that he was killed by a more powerful master?
The cause of death of these cultivators is unknown, but what about mortals? Why did they die here too?
The bones of mortals are heavier in color and softer than those of cultivators.
After careful inspection, they found that the bones of those cultivators were much earlier than those of mortals. Some had been shattered, and some had begun to weather. Only the bones of the two masters were safe and sound.
The bones of those mortals were obviously not very old, and they should have died within a few years or even decades.
It can be deduced from this that the bones of these cultivators should be those of ancient people, while those of mortals should have died not long ago, perhaps due to being trapped by the formation.
Combined with the previous legends about Fan Yuan, these are most likely the martial arts masters who challenged him, or mortals who had no intention of setting foot here.
Even if you are an ancient cultivator, you should still have some relics left behind.
Everyone was excited, especially what the golden elixir master left behind must be a supreme treasure.
Even if it is left by Tianyuan cultivators, it is extremely precious. Because the skills of weapon refining in ancient times were much more advanced than today, many unique skills have long been lost.
Everyone started rummaging underground with excitement.
But as time goes by, their faces become increasingly ugly.
There are corpses everywhere on the ground, there is no treasure at all! Needless to say, the golden elixir master’s most important treasure was not even found a low-grade magic weapon.
Could it be that someone got there first?
"Damn it, you didn't even leave a mouthful of soup for me, what a birdman did, I'm so angry!" Song Laohu yelled in anger.
"Although there are no treasures, these two skeletons are definitely extraordinary and may be of great use. They can at least be used as materials for refining weapons. Everyone, can we distribute them among them?"
After all, Hu Zhiran is a disciple of the sect, so his knowledge is naturally extraordinary, and his vision is still very poisonous.
These two skeletons have not decayed after many years, and are as good as gold and iron, or even better. They are excellent materials for refining weapons.
"Skeletons?" Song Laohu stopped cursing and turned to look at the bones of the two masters.
"Isn't it too cruel to use other people's bones as materials for refining weapons? Moreover, they are two masters of Golden elixir or above. If their descendants find out about this, they will not risk their lives for you. Old Hu, what's yours? You are so courageous!" Tiehu shook his head.
"Captain Hu, how about you collect one while my fourth brother and I collect one?" Song Laohu rolled his eyes and asked after staring at the skeleton for a while.
"Hu Zhiran said that the bones are useful, so they must be useful. If you don't take it, you won't take it. When the fourth brother came to Dingbei, he didn't give him any greeting gift. Bah, bah, bah, who uses the corpse as a greeting gift? No matter what, it's okay. I have to get one." Tiger thought in his mind.
Hu Zhiran glanced at Pu Zheng, who nodded. Hu Zhiran then said: "Okay, just follow what the third master said."
In fact, in terms of the number of people, Hu Zhiran should have the majority, but Song Huhu was the third in charge and had to rely on others in Dingbeicheng. How could he compete with him for profit.
Although Zhong Ming and others were reluctant to give up, they also understood the current situation and remained silent, relying entirely on Hu Zhiran and Pu Zheng to make the decision.
"Fourth brother, please put it away." Song Laohu said boldly.
"Since Third Brother is here, even if I have a share, it's better for you to put it away." Zhou Yang declined.
On the one hand, he was being polite, but on the other hand, he was also murmuring in his heart. He had heard of people using materials from monsters and beasts to refine weapons and pills, but he had never heard of people using human bones as materials to refine weapons.
"You put it away, I have no shortage of materials." Song Laohu waved his hand.
"Third brother, let's keep it. I'll ask you for it when I need it."
"If you are asked to accept it, you accept it. Why are you so polite to Third Brother? Stop being so annoying and let others laugh." Song Laohu glared.
Seeing that Song Huhu insisted on giving it to him, Zhou Yang no longer refused, thanked him, and put a skeleton into his storage bag.
"This illusion-breaking formation made me work as a coolie for several days, but it was not in vain. I gained something." Seeing Zhou Yang collect the bones, Song Laohu also showed a smile on his face.
"I'll take a short rest, eat something, replenish some energy, and then go into the mountain again," Zhou Yang said.
In the past few days, everyone's spiritual energy has been greatly exhausted, and their physical strength cannot keep up. They need to take a good rest.
However, they couldn't delay too long. It took several days just to break the formation. If Fan Yuan returned, it would be bad.
Being able to set up such a large illusion formation, Fan Yuan's identity must not be simple. Just look at the martial arts masters who challenge him, aren't they all surrendering themselves to the trap?
Not to mention whether they can create this illusory formation, even if they can create this illusory formation, is there any difference between fighting with a Tianyuan cultivator and risking death?
But Zhou Yang is looking forward to it more and more in Wangyue Ridge.
