Although Wu Kui had long understood Zhang Yan's detailed process of setting up the so-called grand formation from Shen Wujiu's report, it would not prevent him from feeling the shock and magic of the midterm when he witnessed it with his own eyes.
Of course, Wu Kui, like Shen Wujiu, clearly saw everything in his eyes, but he couldn't understand the truth at all. I can only say that it was fun to watch.
Wu Kui even reached out to touch the metal cylinders that Zhang Yan had refined while Zhang Yan was not paying attention, which he called Tiangang Pillars. And he forcibly wrote down most of the lines on the pillars, thinking that when he went back, he would use them to compare with the lines on the bathtubs from the "Medicine for Refining Skin and Flesh" from the Martial Arts Academy in Langyuan City. He always felt that the two have considerable similarities.
After that, Wu Kui saw what a skylark shuttle was and what it meant to ride on a cloud. I also saw what Shen Wujiu said in the report note: "When the formation is formed, it is like a light shield rising out of thin air, covering the entire area for more than ten miles. At this point, the path of death is blocked."
"It is indeed miraculous! Mr. Zhang's methods astonished Wu! Is there really nothing we can do about this Skylark Shuttle for the time being?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said nothing.
This is the first time that the Dead Silence Road has been sealed. It is located in the rear of Chonglan County. It is also the stable rear area that Emperor Yang Sheng repeatedly told Wu Kui to first ensure.
"After the formation is up, we will observe it for a few days. If there are no problems, we can transfer to the next place."
The blockade process is the same as before in the direction of Lianshan City. Zhang Yan first used the Skylark Shuttle to go ahead, and after the formation was properly arranged, he would observe and confirm that there were no problems for the time being. Then Wu Kui notified the people from the nearby Special Cases Division to come and set up a monitoring post. This is also to avoid alerting the enemy, and also to prevent the personnel of the Special Cases Division from approaching rashly and damaging the troops.
Wu Kui wanted to ask where the large number of spiritual tribes that originally gathered at the entrance and exit of the Dead Silence Road went after the formation was launched. There are powerful beings like the Holy King inside, so it's impossible for them all to disappear out of thin air, right?
Does that mean he was swallowed up by that big formation?
Wu Kui finally found a possibility that was not mentioned in Shen Wujiu's report note. It's just that now is not the time to mention it to Zhang Yan. You have to find another opportunity to avoid annoying people.
Just as Wu Kui himself speculated, the benefits that Zhang Yan cared about were indeed obtained openly in front of others, but Wu Kui couldn't see it at all. Just like now, Wu Kui doesn't understand the disappearance of the spiritual tribes gathered at the entrance and exit of the Dead Silence Road.
Spirits, in Zhang Yan's case, are ghosts, representing varying amounts of merit and spiritual energy. The essence of the formation is to target ghosts rather than the path of death itself.
Zhang Yan had previously harvested three ghost kings, nearly thirty ghost generals, and hundreds of fierce ghosts from the Deadly Road in Lianshan City. This is the largest amount of merit and spiritual energy that Zhang Yan has harvested at one time. Although it still does not allow him to make great progress in his current cultivation level at the early stage of returning to the God Realm, he can still clearly feel the improvement. If he could make this kind of progress three or four more times, Zhang Yan believed that he would definitely be able to feel the long-lost realm barrier again. By then, he will be not far from the middle stage of the Return to God Realm.
Zhang Yan didn't know how others slowly spent the long years of practice. Anyway, he was not adaptable. Even after entering the realm of returning to God, his practice speed dropped significantly. But this time the appearance of the Dead Silence Path made his practice speed up again. And this is the main reason why Zhang Yan is willing to "help for free" this time.
At the same time, Zhang Yan agreed to seal three more Deathly Silence Roads instead of all of them. It was not impossible, but he had his own considerations.
It's like blocking a mouse hole. Once it's completely blocked, mice can't come in. This is not a good thing for Zhang Yan. Keep one. Wouldn’t it be easier to pack it away later than it is now?
However, Zhang Yan also knew the consequences of doing so. Especially for those ghost kings and big ghost kings in the ghost realm, trouble will definitely come to their door. But Zhang Yan didn't feel worried. Even when he agreed to block the Dead Silence Road this time, he had the intention of actively testing the Ghost Realm. After all, since the last time he almost killed a big ghost king with the thunder method, the ghost realm has become indifferent to him. This is not normal, there must be follow-up measures to come.
In this way, Zhang Yan naturally tends to take action himself first and cannot let the other party easily arrange his methods.
"The next place is here. It is only more than ten miles away from the boundary of Xiyuan County. It used to be a large abandoned mining area. It was deserted hundreds of years ago..."
Wu Kui had done a lot of homework in advance, and he had a detailed understanding of the entrances and exits of the Dead Silence Road.
In the past few days, Wu Kui followed Zhang Yan and observed outside the first closed Dead Silence Road for several days. The effect of the formation was almost the same as anywhere in the direction of Lianshan City. It also gave Wu Kui great confidence. In just a few days, the situation in the rear area of Chonglan County has improved a lot, and the situation of the Yubei Mountain Fortress on the front line of Chonglan County has also been stabilized.
Taking this as an example, Zhang Yan's subsequent actions will surely be able to stabilize Xiyuan County as expected and make the critical situation of Xiyuan County a little more relaxed.
"Abandoned mine? Hundreds of years?"
"Yes, Mr. Zhang, this used to be a mine that produced gems. During the Qiande Dynasty, the output was very high, and there are records in books. Hundreds of years later, roughly shortly before the collapse of the Qiande Dynasty, this mining area Accidents often happen, and the minerals quickly disappear, so it becomes useless."
Zhang Yan originally didn't pay much attention to Wu Kui's introduction, because to him, the location of the Dead Silence Road had no practical significance, it was the same. The reason why Wu Kui was asked to elaborate was that he was actually taking care of Nanyuan Kingdom's face, giving him a sense of participation. It can be said that it is very thoughtful.
After cleaning up the first area before, Zhang Yan had listened to Wu Kui's long story, saying that without the constraints of the Dead Road, Chonglan County's rear would be stable and able to defend the increasingly severe Yubei Mountain Fortress. The pressure is suppressed and the rear position will not be disrupted.
The second path of death is also for the same reason. This is also the reason why the Dead Silence Road in Zhongding County, where Yuanding Imperial City is located, was abandoned.
But he didn't want to listen, but he couldn't stand it and couldn't avoid it. Moreover, he had to give face, so Zhang Yan just thought he was listening to a story. Unexpectedly, it piqued his interest.
A large abandoned mining area, this is not surprising. After the mining is completed, it will naturally be abandoned. In addition, over-exploitation will cause catastrophic environmental damage. Afterwards, it will be difficult to make other livelihoods in this area, so it is not surprising that it is deserted.
But according to Wu Kui, this mining area once was glorious. It should even have been very glorious during the Qiande Dynasty.
Then the question arises: How did this once glorious mining area stand at the entrance to the Deadly Road?
Or maybe Qian Dechao has a way to shield the dangerous path of death and silence. Or it could be that when this mining area was in its glory, the Dead Silence Road had not yet appeared here.
