"Second brother, continue to pay attention. This may be an opportunity. Although the third level of Jindan is low, it is not completely too late!" Potian was a little excited.
"Well, I know boss." Duotian was also a little excited.
"Third brother, where are you? Is there anything going on?" Potian asked the old man Hentian again. He didn't know if this trial was the last one, so God opened his eyes and saw a situation that was very different from the previous ones. .
"Boss, I don't have anything going on here. The cultivation of spiritual energy is extremely difficult. In fact, we can ask those fellow Taoists who are also at the peak for help in this regard. How can it be possible before we have reached the peak..."
"No." Before Hentian could finish his words, Potian interrupted:
"Although the three of us brothers are quite capable, we are all alone and do not have a big force to back us. If we find other peak Nascent Souls to cooperate, how can we guarantee our own interests?"
"The outside world is still unclear about the specific things we have, and the Three Peaks Trial has benefited many sects and casual cultivators over the years, so it has not aroused their covetousness. If we cooperate with those large sects, then our secrets will definitely not be able to Reservation, when the time comes, we will not be able to take the initiative due to our strength, and we may even... be kicked out of the competition by burning bridges!"
"Alas, this is the last time left." After a while, Hentian also sighed.
In fact, he also knew that cooperating with a large sect was tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger, but the repeated disappointments and waiting had made him a little numb. The three of them had been preparing for many years and were unwilling to give up even if there was only a glimmer of hope.
If there is no change in this trial, I'm afraid I have to persuade the boss to try to contact the big sects. After all, judging from their deeper and deeper understanding over the years, what the Palace Master of the Cloud Palace said before may be possible. The sex is extremely high, and the three of them alone are really not enough.
You can't try even though you know it won't work. That's not fearlessness but ignorance.
As for cooperating with large sects, although there are many disadvantages, there is still some hope.
The three fell into silence again, each taking care of their own trials.
Old Man Potian stared at the first-level Nascent Soul monk at the second level, silent, not knowing what he was thinking.
…
Unknowingly, the day had passed, and Zhang Xiaosheng finally woke up. Within this day, he explored all the densely packed low-level formations in front of him.
In fact, most of them were things he had never seen before, but according to the results of his spiritual exploration, they were all simple restricted types of formations.
There are hundreds of closed six consciousnesses that have been broken before. They have similar functions but different implementation principles and very different effects.
There are also those that increase the weight, slow down the speed, etc. These formations may seem low-level and can be broken easily, but if there are enough in number, they can also produce qualitative changes.
Just imagine if a monk in the Nascent Soul stage is trapped in it, and someone is always involved, making him unable to break it violently, then the combined impact cannot be underestimated.
So there is nothing useless, just see how to use it.
As for how to crack it, Zhang Xiaosheng already has a plan, but there are still some details that have not been worked out clearly and need to be tested.
There are two types of formation breaking, one is violent cracking, and the other is breaking using the principles of formation. Naturally, there is no need to consider the first one, but in fact, the second one also includes two situations.
One is to directly dismantle the formation before it is activated, and the other is to dismantle it after the formation has taken effect.
If you follow the first method, then no matter who you are, you can only break them one by one. But if you follow the second method, you can break multiple formations at once, but the difficulty will increase a lot.
After all, the effects of multiple formations are superimposed at the same time, and the operations of each formation are entangled with each other. Not to mention the power of the formation, it will naturally be more complicated to crack. If it cannot be broken by then, I am afraid that it will be completely different from the original purpose. .
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaosheng decided to give it a try first. It had already taken a day and he could no longer delay in the second level!
He saw the virtual index of his right hand clicking ten times, and countless thin lines of spiritual energy shooting towards dozens of formations. These were some of the formations that he had previously detected that could affect the movement speed.
Zhang Xiaosheng guessed that if the formation effect is similar, the entangled state after activation will be relatively simple.
All these formations were activated in the next moment!
Under the influence of dozens of low-level formations, Zhang Xiaosheng instantly felt as if his legs were filled with lead. If he relied on spiritual energy, it would be difficult to move.
If you are fighting against someone in this state, you will either stand still and fight with others, or you will have to consume more spiritual energy to offset the influence of the formation. If things go on like this, even opponents with similar strength will be far superior due to the consumption of spiritual energy. The other party gradually fell into a disadvantage.
Fortunately, there was no one else at this time, so Zhang Xiaosheng naturally did not need to worry about the consumption of spiritual energy.
Scatter your spiritual consciousness into dozens of formations and carefully observe their operation paths. The operation of the formations in the entangled state has become extremely complicated. It is no longer the low-level formations that only had a few simple lines before, but everything is The changes remain the same, and the functions that affect movement speed are similar.
Only a quarter of an hour later, Zhang Xiaosheng found the place where the superposition effect was strongest, and used the five elements of spiritual energy to gently test it one by one.
As a result, when the water attribute spiritual energy is close, the inexplicable reflection of the formation is the strongest, which is naturally imperceptible to the naked eye. It is only through the spiritual sense that the speed of the formation's operation seems to have increased a little, and it seems that it is intended to use this to strengthen the response to the approach. The influence of spiritual energy.
Zhang Xiaosheng's heart moved. Is the water attribute the key attribute to break through the formation that restricts movement...
Why water?
Is it because of the fluidity of water...
Zhang Xiaosheng shook his head slightly, no longer delving into it, and suddenly released a large amount of water-attribute spiritual energy, rushing directly to the place where the abnormality was sensed.
Dozens of formations began to move rapidly at the same time, but in the next moment, they suddenly dispersed.
Zhang Xiaosheng waited silently for ten breaths, and then he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the broken formation did not re-form.
In the many previous trials, the longest recovery time for the formation was only eight breaths, so I guess it was really broken.
Zhang Xiaosheng couldn't help but be a little excited when his idea was confirmed. These formations were really low-level and were not considered a waste for Zhang Xiaosheng at this time, so he couldn't wait to start processing the next batch of similar formations.
Potian looked at it and nodded slightly. He already understood at this time that this person really knew little about formations. Many things that could be regarded as common sense to those who practice formations must use the Five Elements spells in sequence. Experiment.
But looking at his progress quite quickly, well, this kid has great talent!
Zhang Xiaosheng was already immersed in the pleasure of breaking formations. As the number of low-level formations he broke increased, his basic understanding of formations became more and more profound, and he naturally became more comfortable in breaking them.
Unconsciously, an hour passed, and the last batch of more than seventy formations had been successfully destroyed, and the entire world became empty again.
Before Zhang Xiaosheng could take action, he realized that all the thousands of formations had disappeared, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
To be honest, he was worried about so many formations at first, but in the process of breaking them, he greedily absorbed the basic knowledge of the formations. The complete formations here are rarely encountered in the outside world. Breaking the formations His experience is growing crazily. Although it is just some low-level formations, it has also laid a solid foundation for Zhang Xiaosheng, a layman.
So now that the formation is broken, there are still some unfinished ideas.
The next moment, Zhang Xiaosheng's figure disappeared in a flash, and when he reappeared, he was already a hundred feet away from when he selected the second level of spiritual root attributes.
Breaking the Sky Peak towers into the clouds. Previously, after breaking through the first level, it only rose thirty feet. Now, after breaking through the second level, it actually rose directly to a hundred feet.
Zhang Xiaosheng raised his head and looked at the peak. He didn't know whether it was because of the formation, or because the Peak was too tall and straight, so he couldn't see it with his eyesight.
Looking back at the first level at the foot of the mountain, there were still nearly three dozen people standing still. Zhang Xiaosheng couldn't help but feel a little funny. Those who had preceded him must have had the same mentality when looking at him.
The first level is to tell the tester that the formation should start from the subtle points, while the second level is to break down the formation from the lowest level, so what is the third level...
But the entrance to the third level has not been seen yet, so Zhang Xiaosheng can only move forward along the path.
But as he walked, Zhang Xiaosheng once again discovered that something was wrong. It couldn't have been so long before he reached the third level. With the experience and lessons from the first level, Zhang Xiaosheng looked back again and found that the people at the foot of the mountain were still walking like that. There was nothing wrong. ah.
Um?
Something is wrong!
Zhang Xiaosheng frowned slightly. It had been a while since he left. Why did he feel that the number of people in the first level had not decreased at all?
I turned around and stared at it for another quarter of an hour, and sure enough it didn't decrease!
I have been in the second level for more than a day, and there are hundreds of people missing. From a probability point of view, on average, there must be four or five people who have passed the level in a quarter of an hour.
Of course, it is possible that no one passed the first level of the trial during this period.
It's just that Zhang Xiaosheng is just ruling out situations now, rather than doing questions. As long as he has doubts, he can roughly judge the situation.
"Could it be...a hallucination?"
Zhang Xiaosheng thought thoughtfully, the moment he came out just now must have been real, otherwise even if the people setting up the formation were extremely capable, they would not know about those trialists who were still stuck in the first level after they passed the second level. appearance and quantity.
So from that moment he entered the third level of the trial?
Even so, the person who set up the formation was extremely terrifying. This kind of trial was so unexpected that he was not aware of it.
But as for the phantom formation...
Although Zhang Xiaosheng had no foundation in formations before, he still knew the general classification and effects of formations.
The phantom formation is a relatively special formation, and the effects will naturally be different at different levels.
The lowest level phantom array is just visual and tactile manipulation, allowing you to see things that don't exist. These things are all set up by the person who set up the array.
The more advanced magic arrays will add some offensive spells, which are real and fake, making them difficult to guard against.
The most powerful illusion array can present different situations according to the deepest desires and feelings of the person trapped in it. It may be the thing you want most, or it may be the thing you fear most in your heart, or it may be the person you have lost. or things.
It is very difficult to fall into this kind of phantom formation. It can only achieve miraculous effects when the person is relatively fragile, but once it is trapped, it is difficult to get out by one's own strength.
Because they encounter the biggest fear in their hearts, they dare not fight against it; because their deepest desires are realized, they are trapped in it; or because of the people or things that have been lost and recovered, people subconsciously believe that this is the real world.
The first level can also be regarded as a kind of phantom formation, but it is the lowest level. It only uses visual and tactile manipulation to make the tester think that it is always moving forward, but in fact it is just spinning in place.
At this time, the third level is still a phantom formation, so with Old Man Potian’s attainments in formations, he will definitely not use the things from the first level to deal with it, so there must be...
Before his thoughts could be sorted out, two golden giant swords suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, slashing straight at Zhang Xiaosheng.
Zhang Xiaosheng subconsciously wanted to hide, but found that he seemed unable to move at all. He waved his right hand and deployed several layers of metal shields to block it. At the same time, he also held other spells in his left hand in case of emergency.
The giant sword came with a whistling sound. Zhang Xiaosheng guided the shield to meet it. He only heard the harsh metal chirping sound in his ears. However, in the next moment, Zhang Xiaosheng looked at the disappearing giant sword and the intact shield with some confusion.
really……!
Before he could react, two more giant swords came at him. The shield that had just formed had not yet dissipated, and Zhang Xiaosheng continued to attack them.
"Bang!"
The voice was still loud, but the shield was also intact.
Still fake!
The third time the giant sword strikes again...
…
"It's never over!" Zhang Xiaosheng couldn't help shouting angrily:
"Forget it's all fake. I chose the Five Elements and Five Spiritual Roots. Metallicity alone is too boring. It's been seventeen times!"
Although the collisions were all fake, Zhang Xiaosheng actually listened to the harsh sound of metal clashing produced in the phantom array thirty-four times, and his ears felt ringing at this time.
After the spiritual energy circulated for a week, I checked the condition of my ears and found that there was nothing abnormal.
All right……
This feeling is also fake!
This was so disgusting that Zhang Xiaosheng couldn't help but curse.
However, the formation seemed to have a mind. After hearing Zhang Xiaosheng's complaint, the whole ground began to shake in the next moment. Countless dazzling knives fell from the sky. A sea of fire came from the left, a huge water fist roared from the right, and before and after Thousands of arrows were fired in unison, all heading towards Zhang Xiaosheng.
No matter how many times it was fake, as long as there was a slight possibility that it was true, Zhang Xiaosheng did not dare to be careless, so he could only forcefully stabilize his body and start to deploy defenses around him.
The sound of "ding-ding-ding-ding-ding" was heard endlessly. Wanjian was the first to arrive, but the aura of the earthen walls arranged in front and back began to be consumed rapidly.
This is so true!
Zhang Xiaosheng wanted to curse, but now he was surrounded by attacks, and he was forced to defend himself. Fortunately, the intensity of these attacks was not high. At most, it was like a late-stage Jindan, which he could still support.
An hour later...
Zhang Xiaosheng did not consume much. The consumption speed of defending against these attacks was not as fast as Zhang Xiaosheng's recovery speed, but the attacks also continued, and they were all real.
"No, we can't go on like this. Even if I can use up the entire formation, what's the point of spending three months? Isn't this opportunity for this trial a waste?"
PS: The heroine is waiting for the little saint in the sixth level. Please count the votes so that the little saint can rush through O(∩_∩)O~
