Under the night light, a man and a turtle were walking on the beach, chatting without a word.
"Brother Gu and the others, how are they doing these days?"
Xu Yue casually picked up a stone, threw it out with a whooshing sound, and flew to the sea several miles away.
"Lao Gu has been very excited these days. His long-cherished wish finally has hope. He has been doing exercises and regulating his breath in the room all day long. He is fully prepared. Xiao Xiaozi took the little girl from the bereaved family to play all day long, which is really fun. Xin As you know, Ling is a loner and ignores anyone except you. He never came out after entering the room. As for Duan Mutian...heh, he seemed to know that he was not suitable on the island, so he left here that night. Went to retreat in the nearby sea area.”
"Hmph, I still have some face to show for it."
Xu Yue curled his lips. For this once best brother, he really wanted to kill him quickly, but also wanted to turn a blind eye to avoid being upset.
"correct."
Wang Ba walked on the beach, his long shadow much wider than Xu Yue, and whispered: "Although you are a monk in the Soul Void Realm now, you still can't bear it if you meet the strongest generation of your age, so this time in the secret place Traveling, do you need me to accompany you, Old Turtle, to protect you?"
That's right, in five years, there was one more person in the world who knew the secret of Xu Yue's cultivation, Wang Ba!
Xu Yue had great trust in Lao Wugui. This trust stemmed not only from the natural understanding between the two, but also from the fact that they had never left each other through life and death many times.
You must know that during the Tianqingzhihai Incident, everyone around him was separated due to various reasons. Only Wang Ba accompanied Xu Yue to Nanling. The last one was locked up in Lingjian Sect, and the other was buried at the foot of Tianjue Mountain.
Therefore, Xu Yue did not think there was anything wrong with telling Wang Ba the secret that his cultivation level would fluctuate due to age. On the contrary, after the two of them knew the root cause, the old turtle could help Xu Yue make suggestions and better cooperate with him based on his characteristics.
"Xiao Xu, don't underestimate me, the old turtle now. I'm not bragging. Except for that monster from the Shen Yu Sect, I'm not sure about your strongest generation. No matter how many others come, Lord Turtle will take them all!" Old Turtle continued with a tone of voice. Quite domineering!
Now its cultivation level has been restored, and it has made a breakthrough, becoming a strong person in the Tianxuan realm, and it is fully confident.
"No need."
However, regarding its kindness, Xu Yue thought about it but rejected it, shook his head and said: "One of us must stay in the Linggui Sect in case of accidents, and according to what Brother Gu said, only those with the power of four towns can be found in that place. Only people can enter safely. Ordinary people will not be able to withstand the pressure of the sealing technique. It will not help if you follow them."
"Huh? Then don't you also..."
Wang Ba paused for a moment, then smiled and said: "Yes, I almost forgot, you have learned the Li Yuan technique from Huangcheng, so you can be considered a half-successor."
Xu Yue nodded and said in a deep voice: "Yes, so the only ones who can go in then are me, Yan'er, Xin Ling, Fu Xiang, Duan Mutian, and Brother Gu... No matter what kind of danger and If you put pressure on him, he will definitely go."
"That's right. Alas, it's this slim hope that keeps him alive."
Wang Ba sighed, but he sympathized with Gu Xingzhou, because it had forgotten all the memories before it woke up. Maybe he, like Lao Gu, was a poor person "forgotten" by the world.
However, the difference in personality determines the two people's completely different attitudes towards life. Gu Xingzhou lives in struggle and pain every day, while Wang Ba lives a carefree and carefree life.
"I hope Brother Gu can get what he wants this time!"
After Xu Yue finished speaking, he changed his face, turned his head and looked around. Wang Ba understood instantly, and with a step of his forelimb, a barrier suddenly formed in the area, hiding the two figures.
This is their usual way of talking about confidential matters.
"How are you keeping that thing?" Xu Yue hesitated and asked first.
"Here it is."
Wang Ba was a little serious, and with a thought, three extremely scarlet beads, which seemed to contain endless blood, floated out from its turtle shell, causing the sealed space to be instantly covered with thick blood, which also stimulated the two of them. People's eyeballs make their moods fluctuate violently, making them manic and restless, and they cannot calm down for a long time.
"Three blood beads, except this one is made from local materials on our small island, condensed with the blood of countless Spirit Sword Sect disciples who died in the war, the other two beads, one comes from Yidi Mountain, One came from the mirage. I went there personally, Old Turtle, and laid out the [All Souls Blood Array] you taught me. Fortunately, enough people died in these two places during the Battle of Nanling. , especially Yidi Mountain, is almost enough to condense a second blood bead... Sigh, I don’t know what the use of this thing is. When I went to the mirage to collect this thing, their sect leader Ji Cangxing almost thought that He was performing sorcery and was tortured on the spot."
Wang Ba's beast eyes reflected red light. Looking at the extremely rich red color, the tip of his nose seemed to be filled with the smell of blood. He then said slowly: "As for the deserted city, they have not experienced war, so they cannot directly take the living people." He came to offer sacrifices with his blood, and Chang Lao replied that somehow in recent years, the demons under the ancient abyss have become more peaceful and no longer harass them from time to time. There are also fewer people in the deserted city who have died in the civil war in the city, so they are responsible for it. That blood bead may have to wait a little longer." 33
"This... well, that's all. There are only a few of them. They have to prepare blood beads and rebuild the altar at the same time. It's understandable that the progress is slow."
Xu Yue nodded helplessly. In his plan, Huangcheng was the top priority. Many arrangements had to be completed there and there was no room for any mistakes.
The old turtle on the side glanced at him. It also knew that Huangcheng was rebuilding the altar, but it seemed to have nothing to do with the blood beads. It was another plan that Xu Yue was secretly carrying out.
It originally wanted to ask what the purpose of rebuilding the altar was, but it knew that Xu Yue would not tell it.
"Okay, put your things away."
After a moment, Xu Yue tilted his head slightly and stopped looking at the three bloody blood beads. After all, they were all condensed with the blood of his own compatriots. It was really uncomfortable.
Wang Ba nodded silently, and with a swing of his forelimbs, all three beads floated back to his turtle shell. The atmosphere in this space suddenly calmed down and was no longer restless.
Xu Yue slowly breathed a sigh of relief, paused, and then asked again: "How is the progress at Cangyun Sword now?"
"Still with Three Thousand Sword Sect." Wang Ba said solemnly.
Xu Yue frowned, lowered his voice, and said, "Why are you so slow? Haven't you taken it back to Yidi Mountain for tempering?"
"No."
Wang Ba shook his head and said: "There is no way. Although that sword is good, it is not the best. It is just the treasure of the four branches of Yidi Mountain. And according to your request, the Cangyun Sword To evolve into the most advanced weapon, you need to first send it to the Three Thousand Sword Sect, which has superior sword-making skills, for recasting, and then take it back to Yidi Mountain to water it with the original imperial art, so that it can be broken and then stand up, and truly become a sword. The Imperial Sword that is universally respected in the world...this process is naturally a bit slow."
Wang Ba looked at Xu Yue, a little puzzled at this time, and said doubtfully: "Actually, if you need it, there are weapons of the same level as the 'Emperor Sword' in the world, why don't you just go find them instead of Xin Where are you working so hard to temper the Cangyun Sword?"
Hearing this, Xu Yue was silent for a few breaths, shook his head and said: "No, Cangyun Sword is related to the success or failure of the entire plan. It is very critical. I must fully control it! Although other weapons are good, they are not my destiny. Although Cangyun Sword is a bit inferior, it is better because it is connected with my mind..."
Xu Yue looked at Wang Ba and said extremely seriously: "Master Gui, please help me keep an eye on it and tell Chu Xuan that once the Three Thousand Sword Sect completes the recasting of the Cangyun Sword, it will immediately recast the sword. Send her back to Yidi Mountain! If that doesn't work, just use the quality improvement card I gave her to go straight there! Time... really doesn't wait for anyone."
"I know, I know."
Wang Ba waved his hand and curled his lips and said: "Now that you know how to panic, since you have to do so many things, what did you do a hundred years ago..."
"Well……"
Hearing this, Xu Yue scratched his head in embarrassment, not knowing what to say.
It was only after the Battle of Nanling that he understood the principle that there is strength in numbers. He no longer did everything by himself like he did a hundred years ago, but began to inform Wang Ba, Mu Chuxuan and others of some important plans. People, as well as many giants in the Immortal Realm such as Yidi Mountain, let them help them complete this salvation plan.
But for the sake of confidentiality, he still didn't tell everyone the core secret of the plan. He just asked them to prepare some things for him, such as blood beads, the final Cangyun Sword, and the altar that Huangcheng was planning to build.
No one in Xu Yue said what these things were used for or how to use them.
Although Wang Ba complained about this, he had no objection. After all, he believed that everything Xu Yue did was for the future of the entire Immortal Realm. It was okay to let him run errands, send messages, and take care of objects. Do your part.
"Forget it, Brother Xu, when things are done, you have to give me the first credit! You must not be stingy about the treasures of heaven and earth, the spiritual weapon array!" After a while, Wang Ba regained his treacherous appearance, somewhat like Situ Yu, and said flatteringly to Xu Yue.
"Hehe, that's necessary... By the way, here's a good thing, take it first."
Hearing Wang Ba's joke, Xu Yue also smiled obscenely, and then put his hand into his arms. At the same time, he entered the system with a thought and used the prop he had just obtained.
"[Set Completion Card] is being triggered. The host can automatically complete a set of props that are being collected and have not yet been collected, reducing the required parts by 1.
Formation props have been detected: [Mysterious Formation] is being collected.
Congratulations to the host for obtaining: [Mysterious Formation] × 1, current completion level: 3/5. "
Then the system sound fell, and when Xu Yue took his hand out of his arms again, what he was holding was no longer the transparent fragment, but a corner diagram.
"Huh? This is it!"
Wang Ba's eyes lit up and he quickly stepped forward to catch the array diagram and examine it carefully.
"This thing is the same formation as the two residual pictures you gave me a hundred years ago!"
After a few breaths, Wang Ba felt as if he had found a treasure. Both turtle eyes were glowing green, and he was extremely excited.
"Wait!"
Immediately afterwards, under Xu Yue's surprised look, it shrank its limbs regardless of appearance and retracted into the turtle shell. When it came out again, there were already two identical, yellowish formation fragments in its hand. .
"Look! Look! They are parts of the same formation!"
Wang Ba placed the three broken pictures on the ground and quickly flipped them around, just like a child who loves building blocks and got a collector's edition of Lego toys, and was extremely excited.
"Are you so happy?" Xu Yue looked at this scene and asked with a smile.
"Of course! The old turtle has no hobbies in this life, he just likes formations and other things! Although the thing you gave is only a defective product, it is not difficult to see that once it is gathered together, its power will be unimaginable. ! Take me for example, my attainments in formations are pretty good, right? But in the past hundred years, I have occasionally taken out your residual diagram to observe and study, and I have benefited a lot from it and gained quite a lot of insights! If this formation diagram is complete... Tsk tsk, it’s a divine thing, it’s simply a divine thing!”
Wang Ba was full of praise, and Xu Yue's eyes flickered. He looked down at the three fragmentary pictures and whispered in a voice that only he could hear: "Yes, maybe it depends on it."
The two of them stopped talking. Xu Yue seemed to be lost in thought, and Wang Ba was completely immersed in the newly acquired formation diagram, unable to extricate himself.
After a long time like this, the old turtle sighed quietly, and slowly stopped the movements in his hands. Looking at the three fragmentary pictures that could not be put together, he said regretfully: "Alas... looking at this structure, it seems that it is still intact." Two pieces missing? What a pity, what a pity...Brother Xu! Can you tell me what kind of formation this formation is? And what effect it can have? Is it... related to the blood beads, or the altar being rebuilt in the deserted city? ?”
Wang Ba was so stimulated by the formation diagram that he finally couldn't restrain his curiosity and asked this question.
Hearing this, Xu Yue slowly came back to his senses, looked at the old turtle who was looking for knowledge, shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Turtle, I can't tell you... It's not that I don't trust you, but the relationship between us is too big. Once you encounter something... When it comes to searching for souls, or if someone uses other methods to figure out the secret of the formation, everything will be over! So if one less person knows about it, the Immortal Realm will have more protection."
Seeing Wang Ba's expression suddenly lost, Xu Yue smiled, walked forward, patted its turtle shell, and said: "But don't worry, this formation will not let you down. Among all my brothers, Only you have the ability to control this peerless formation! When the formation atlas is complete, you will still need to set up formations everywhere! Once such a great achievement is completed, you will no longer be Lord Turtle, Turtle Saint! The Turtle Saint worshiped by all races!"
"Hey, Turtle Saint!"
Listening to Xu Yue's words of encouragement, Old Turtle showed a silly smile, and suddenly became energetic. He patted the turtle shell on his chest and promised: "Don't worry, Brother Xu! You know what Old Turtle does! When the time comes, I will definitely take care of this big turtle." The formation will be laid out for you exactly as it is!"
"It's up to you, brother."
Xu Yue gave a thumbs up and unknowingly dug a huge hole for Wang Ba.
However, neither of them knew that the joke they said today would actually affect generations of immortal monks in the future.
Some people died, but not completely...
