Chapter 55 Can I Tell You that I Am the Immortal Emperor of Nanming?

…

etc?

Something seemed wrong.

The "young man" suddenly frowned slightly, with doubt in his heart.

If he wasn't already confused, Zhantian and Tianchen had always been together, and both were loyal fans of Yunhe.

Why did Zhan Tian now inexplicably accept a disciple and appear at the gate of the Immortal Formation Alliance? Could it be that he had a falling out with Tianchen and Yunhe?

The "young people" never expected that Yan Yunhe and the others would sneak away to the Immortal League, and a series of unexpected things would happen.

"Master Zhan Tian, ​​calm down. This friend may just be complaining. Don't argue with him." Wang Anye saw that something was wrong and quickly spoke to dissuade him.

He was really afraid that Elder Zhantian would have a bad temper and beat up the innocent young man.

After that, he turned to the "young man" again, saluted him gracefully, and then admonished him in a sincere tone: "Brother, you need to be careful when walking outside. As the greatest master in the immortal world, the Supreme God also I don’t know how many achievements he has made for the immortal world and how many disasters he has prevented. These achievements are obvious to all and cannot be questioned."

"Some of his actions may not seem so reasonable and understandable in the eyes of us juniors, but how could it be that it's not because we don't stand high enough and have insufficient vision that we can't understand? Brother, please don't be arbitrary. It’s wrong to speak nonsense about seniors.”

Am I not standing tall enough? I don't have enough vision?

How can he not know what kind of bad character the old ghost is?

"Young man" chuckled.

However, after all, he did not care about this with Wang Anye.

Because what Wang Anye said is indeed a problem that easily occurs in juniors. There is nothing wrong with Wang Anye's advice to him.

He couldn't tell Wang Anye directly that I was a dignified Immortal Emperor of Nanming. He had lived for more than 600,000 years. He stood high enough and could see far enough.

The problems he mentioned simply don't exist.

It was just that my cultivation level had completely fallen into a bottleneck, and I felt that I had no hope of surviving the fourth catastrophe. However, I was somewhat unwilling to be at the top of my life, so I simply gave in and took advantage of my last time to travel. Take a look at the world of mortals, looking for a glimmer of hope.

What if, just what if, I suddenly had some insights and touches during my travels, and successfully broke through the shackles of my realm, wouldn't I have won?

Of course, Immortal Emperor Nanming also knew that the probability of breaking through the realm was extremely low.

This trip is probably the last time to play in the mortal world.

He hides his identity and travels around the world. He will not reveal his identity casually. Otherwise, no matter where he goes, he will attract the attention of countless people. What is the point of traveling?

In fact, in order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, he not only changed his appearance, but also hid his cultivation aura and so on.

In the eyes of others, he is now an ordinary young man from the True Immortal Realm. Even the monks who know him may not be able to recognize him unless the Immortal Emperor is in person or they are extremely familiar with him.

"Your boy has a good temper. By the way, what's your name? This time, you're here to break into the [Nine-Star Formation Monument]. Do you want to become the disciple of the Taoist Master of the Three Formations?" Immortal Emperor Nanming casually changed the subject.

Wang Anye didn't want to hold on to him at first, so he changed the subject after hearing this and introduced himself: "I, Wang Anye, came to the Immortal Formation Alliance this time to ask the senior formation masters to help build the space formation."

Wang Anye had a gentle attitude and was very polite to the Nanming Immortal Emperor: "Dare you ask me your name, brother? Are you planning to break into the Nine-Star Formation Monument just like Mr. Wuwang?"

"My name is...Yang Ming. You can call me 'Brother Yang Ming'."

Immortal Emperor Nanming made up a name casually, then raised his eyes to look at the Nine-Star Formation Monument in the distance, with a bit of nonchalance in his tone: "Nine-Star Formation Monument... Haha. If I take action, this broken formation monument will be destroyed in minutes. It’s broken. I just came to see the excitement and try to see if I can cause trouble and add some trouble to the old ghost."

On this point, he was not bragging.

This Nine-Star Formation Monument is usually used to test the entry level of the [Joined] Formation Masters.

Yes. It’s an “admission” standard, not a ceiling.

Some Hunyuan realm formation mages who specialize in formations can basically pass the ninth formation and become [nine-star formation mages] recognized by the Immortal Formation Alliance.

Even among the formation masters in the middle and late stages of Daluo Jinxian, some of the very powerful formation masters can reach nine stars.

As for his Immortal Emperor Nanming...

Although he is not an Immortal Emperor who specializes in formations, he has lived for a full 610,000 years.

A long time is enough to smooth out the gap in talent.

His talent in formations may not be as good as those of the Tao Masters of the Third Formation, but he is still much better than the ordinary Tao Master-level formation masters.

After so many years, if he couldn't even defeat the Nine-Star Array Master, wouldn't his position as Immortal Emperor be in vain?

However, Wang Anye on the side couldn't help being speechless when he heard his arrogant speech.

make trouble?

Adding to the problem?

This guy named Yang Ming looks young, but his tone is a bit too arrogant.

I don’t know what the grudge is between him and Taishang Shrine?

However, all this has nothing to do with him, Wang Anye. The main purpose of his visit this time was to find someone to build a space teleportation array, and secondly, he wanted to see if he could "cheat" a master.

This master's first choice is undoubtedly the Taoist Master of the Three Formations.

But looking at the current situation, it is basically hopeless to "cheat" the Master of the Third Formation.

Although he also practices formations, his understanding and achievements in formations are only so-so. His main focus is on the [Sword Formation].

If he were asked to break through the Nine-Star Formation Monument, he might not be able to achieve very good results.

That’s all. A simple employment-employment relationship is fine.

He, Wang Anye, already had enough masters, and no more would be too much pressure. Moreover, he already has a Taoist book. The presence or absence of another Taoist book will actually have a limited impact on him.

Also at the same time.

Inside the Immortal Formation Alliance, in a secluded and elegant courtyard.

Compared with the large, luxurious and magnificent buildings in the temples, the courtyards in the Immortal Formation Alliance look much more "simple" and occupy a smaller area. To a certain extent, they can even be considered "small." Sophisticated”.

However, these are just appearances.

These seemingly simple and small courtyards actually have something going on inside.

If anyone enters the courtyard, they will definitely be shocked by the dense and dazzling formations in the courtyard.

These courtyards seem to be used by their respective owners as a testing ground for new formations and a stage for individuals to show off their skills. Various formations are layered on top of each other, whether it is the high density of formations, the variety of formations, or the variety of formations. The miraculous effects of the method are absolutely jaw-dropping.

And the courtyard in front of us is the best among them.

Compared with those dazzling formations, although the number of formations in this courtyard is not that many, the overall level is much higher. Each of these formations is enough to amaze other formation masters and leave them in awe.

Under the layers of formations, the entire courtyard is like a specially expanded small cave, giving it a sense of returning to nature.

In the center of the courtyard, among the vegetation, there is a white stone pavilion.

In the pavilion, there is a round tea table also made of stone.

At the tea table.

The two old men were sitting opposite each other, drinking tea and chatting casually.

One of them is wearing a gray robe, and the other is wearing a green robe. They are all very simple in their clothing, but their temperaments are completely different. They can even be said to be two extremes.

Among them, the old man in gray robes had gray beard and hair, but his figure was still tall and tall, and his smooth muscle lines could even be vaguely seen through the thin clothes.

He looked like he hadn't paid attention to his personal image for a long time. His gray hair looked messy, even his beard was a little tangled, his clothes didn't look neat, and his whole person seemed a little unkempt.

However, even so, his eyes are still wise and sober, deep and calm, making people feel solid and trustworthy for no reason.

This person is the most popular Taoist Master of the Three Formations in the Immortal World today.

As for the other one, although he looks quite old, his beard and hair are even whiter than those of the Taoist Master of the Third Formation, and his figure is slimmer, but his complexion is very rosy, and he doesn't look senile at all.

The green robe he wore was spotless, not even a wrinkle.

A gust of wind blew, and the hem of his green clothes swayed slightly, making his whole body look like green pines under the moon or cold cypresses in the snow. From the inside out, he exuded an elegant, light and comfortable atmosphere.

That look looked exactly like a standard image of an old god who retired to the mountains and forests, wandering around in the clouds and wandering around with cranes.

If there were some big shots in the immortal world present, they would definitely recognize the old man in green robes.

He is none other than Taoist Master Chang Geng, the acting palace master of the [Qingdi Shrine] who always behaves in a low-key and restrained manner.

Chang Geng Dao Master is slightly older than Third Formation Dao Master, but as a technical Hunyuan Dao Master who has also made great achievements in the secondary profession, his and Third Formation Dao Master's careers belong to completely different directions. , but the personal relationship has always been good.

This can be seen from the relaxed and casual attitude of the two people while drinking tea.

"Brother Chang Geng." The Taoist Master of the Third Formation swallowed a mouthful of fragrant tea soup into his belly. He felt refreshed and fragrant. There was naturally a bit of admiration and emotion in his tone, "Your [immortality tea" 】It is really wonderful and the taste is endless. After drinking this cup of tea, I feel as if my old body has been washed, and I feel like my illness is gone and my longevity is soaring."

Taoist Master Chang Geng smiled with a cool temperament: "Brother Sanzhen is exaggerating. Although the [Immortality Tree] in our Qingdi Shrine has reached the eighteenth level, it is just a subspecies derived from the God Tree of Life. Although it has a good life-extending effect, for a Half-Step Immortal Emperor like you, Third Formation Brother, who has drank the divine tea many times, the effect is already very weak."

"It's just that new tea has come out for you to taste."

As he spoke, he drank the last sip of tea soup in his hand, then put the tea cup down again, and then continued in a slightly solemn tone: "Brother Sanzhen will hold a public gathering for recruiting disciples this time, and use [Nine Stars] Formation Monument] is here to test the participants’ formation level, and it is clearly aimed at Jiang Wuwang of Taishang Palace. Aren’t you afraid of ‘that one’ having a problem with you?”

"Alas~~"

Taoist Master Three Formations sighed, obviously knowing what Taoist Master Chang Geng was worried about.

He said in a helpless tone: "I am forced to have no choice~ Jiang Wuwang's identity is too great, and there is a faint support from 'that person' behind him."

"If I really accept Jiang Wuwang as my disciple and pass on all the mantle and mantle to him, within tens of thousands of years, the foundation that our ancestors of the Immortal Formation Alliance have worked so hard to create will be annexed by the Taishang Palace. absorb."

Taoist Master Chang Geng naturally understands this truth.

Or to be more precise, Taishang Shrine is playing a bright card this time, its purpose is obvious, and it is not even covered up. As long as the Hunyuan Taoist who has a little bit of overall perspective will not be able to understand it.

However, upon hearing what the Third Formation Taoist Master said, Chang Geng Taoist Master smiled instead: "The Taishang Palace is the largest force in the immortal world. The Third Formation Brother is so resistant to being annexed and absorbed. It seems that the plan is not small~ Could it be? , Brother San Zhen already has the direction of 'Three Zhens Unifying'?"

In terms of the understanding of the first formation, all the leaders of the Immortal Formation Alliance in the past can be called wizards, but the Taoist master of the third formation is definitely a wizard among wizards.

When he was young, he showed his excellent understanding of formations. He could learn any formation quickly and learned everything. As a result, what he learned was extremely complicated, and he was known as "the formations in the world are under his control."

Coupled with his outstanding qualifications, he was promoted to Taoist Master at a young age, so he called himself [Taoist Master of Ten Thousand Formations].

"Wan" is a false reference, meaning that there is no formation in the world that he cannot master.

This tone cannot be said to be arrogant.

However, this was all in his youth.

After being promoted to Tao Master, he seemed to realize the vastness of the world and the difficulty of subsequent exploration of the Tao of Formation, so he quickly settled down. He also changed from the frivolous and wanton nature of his youth and became calm and restrained.

In the subsequent practice, he began to constantly try to simplify the complex and integrate thousands of formations.

Slowly, he changed from "Tao Master of Ten Thousand Formations" to "Tao Master of Thousand Formations", and then to "Tao Master of Hundred Formations"!

Until ten thousand years ago, when his cultivation had reached the peak of the Hunyuan Realm, and he had the title of "Half-step Immortal Emperor", he finally reduced the thousands of formations to "three" and began to call himself the "Master of the Three Formations".

He has publicly stated that he only knows three formations, [Moving Formation], [Celestial Covering Formation], and [Zhuxian Formation], which correspond to the three directions of space teleportation, protection and concealment, and attack and killing.

Even the Supreme Immortal Emperor publicly expressed his praise after learning about this incident, saying frankly that the master of the three formations had finally found his own way based on the accumulation of the ancestors of the past generations of formations!

If one day he really achieves the "unification of ten thousand arrays" and is known as the "Tao Master of an array", he may have the opportunity to break through the shackles and embark on the path of the Supreme Immortal Emperor!

This is also the origin of "three formations returning to one" in the words of Taoist Master Chang Geng.

When the Taoist Master of the Third Formation heard this, his expression suddenly became a little complicated.

He was silent for a long time, and then finally sighed and said: "It is too difficult to unify the three formations, and I may not be able to achieve much in my life. Now, I just hope to find a very good disciple to inherit My mantle.”

"With the foundation I laid for him, he may be able to move forward based on the return of ten thousand formations to three. Maybe with good luck, he will be able to find a way to 'three formations return to one'."

However, the Taoist Master of the Third Formation also knows that there is little hope.

Is the path to the Supreme Immortal Emperor so easy?

Among the Immortal Emperor-level inheritances currently possessed by the Immortal World, apart from those inherited directly from ancient gods, and those simply not human beings, which one did not finally achieve a breakthrough after a long period of time and through the continuous relay of generations of outstanding disciples?

The Taoist Master of the Third Formation took over this baton from the ancestors and took a revolutionary step forward, which is already a very remarkable achievement.

He sincerely hopes to hand over the next baton to a more outstanding apprentice.

It is very obvious that the Taoist Master of the Third Formation dislikes Jiang Wuwang very much.

Firstly, it was because the boy was too scheming. Although he was very knowledgeable in the formation method, in his eyes, his own lineage was nothing more than a tool to climb higher.

Secondly, Jiang Wuwang is the future quasi-god son cultivated by Taishang Palace. Once the inheritance falls into his hands, it is very likely that the entire Immortal Formation Alliance will be merged into Taishang Palace in the future.

This is undoubtedly extremely detrimental to the development of the Immortal Formation Alliance.

"That's all, it's useless to think too much." The Taoist Master of the Three Formations thought about it, and finally sighed helplessly, "Although Jiang Wuwang is unparalleled in talent, he is not even three thousand years old after all. What is remarkable is that the Six-Star Formation The level of a mage will inevitably fail at the seventh level."

"And I have arranged a backup plan. Among the many disciples, I have carefully trained an outstanding disciple. Although he is almost six thousand years old and still in the True Immortal Realm, his talent in formations is extremely high and he can already reach the seventh level. close!"

"In this way, this alliance leader will have ample reasons to reject Jiang Wuwang face to face, and although 'that one' will be secretly unhappy, he can't find fault with his emotions and reasons."

Taoist Master Chang Geng laughed and scolded: "Brother Sanzhen usually looks honest and honest, but I didn't expect that he would also be scheming. No wonder, even if Jiang Wuwang comes in to break the barrier, you can still drink tea with me calmly as usual."

The Taoist Master of the Third Formation smiled and shook his head and said: "I was forced to do this, so I made this move. That's all, let's not talk about my bad thing, let's talk about you."

"Brother Chang Geng, you have always been low-key and stingy. I asked you for this Immortality Tea so many times before but you didn't let go. This time you came to me with the newly brewed Immortality Tea. It must be bother you for something."

The Taoist Master of the Third Formation had already dealt with Jiang Wuwang, so he would not pay too much attention to him. Instead, he looked at his close friend with a smile.

"Hahaha~ The one who knows me is Brother Sanzhen~~" Taoist Master Chang Geng smiled heartily, "This time, this palace master is here to ask for help, hoping to hire a group of outstanding space array mages."

The Taoist Master of the Third Formation was stunned for a moment, but then a look of surprise appeared on his face: "Could it be that the forbidden area and inheritance of your emperor's disappearance have been found?"

The emperor of the Qingdi Shrine, the Qinghuang Immortal Emperor, mysteriously disappeared more than a million years ago, along with the restricted area and inheritance.

According to the judgments of several other Immortal Emperors at that time, Immortal Emperor Qinghuang most likely died, and even the restricted area and inheritance were missing.

It was also from that time that the Qingdi Shrine turned from prosperity to decline. While living in a low-key manner, it actively searched for the Qingdi restricted area and inheritance.

However, the emperor has also fallen, and the inheritance cannot be recovered. Generally speaking, the life of Qingdi Shrine is much better than that of Wuji Shrine.

After all, several of the main Taoist traditions of Qingdi Shrine are related to the wood system, and they are best at farming and medicine. Not only does their own spiritual fields produce good output, but they can also export "high-quality spiritual planter labor" to help other forces plant high-grade spiritual rice. , and then achieve a win-win effect.

In addition, the inheritance of Qingdi Shrine has always been "full of milk power", and they often serve as logistical treatment personnel on the battlefield, doing the work of saving lives and healing the wounded.

As we all know, on battlefields with extremely high mortality rates, medical personnel who save lives and heal the wounded have always been highly valued and respected. The monks of the Qinghuang Shrine who are "full of milk power" are the best among them, and their status will only be higher.

Moreover, their personalities are not competitive and they are relatively gentle and peaceful.

It is precisely because of this that the Qingdi Shrine not only has a stable income-generating channel, but also maintains relatively good connections with other forces. Its popularity is far beyond that of the Wuji Shrine.

Over the years, even without the support of Immortal Emperor Qinghuang, their life was still good, and they were even somewhat wealthy.

If the Qing Emperor Shrine can retrieve the restricted area and the Qing Emperor inheritance, I am afraid that in less than 70,000 to 80,000 years, the Immortal World will be able to add an Immortal Emperor, and the power to fight against the demons will be greatly increased.

No wonder the Taoist Master of the Three Formations was very happy to hear this.

"That's right." Taoist Master Chang Geng nodded with a smile, "Our Qingdi Shrine sensed the activation of Emperor Zun's restricted area some time ago and roughly determined its location."

"Brother Sanzhen, I'm afraid you won't believe it. When we surveyed and calibrated the location of the Imperial Restricted Area, we found that its approximate spatial location is similar to the location of the out-of-territorial organization [Immortal Alliance] that lost contact with Wuji Palace. "

"So we speculate that perhaps it was those people from the Immortal Alliance who discovered the Emperor's restricted area and activated it."

"It's actually outside the wilderness?" Hearing this, the Taoist Master of the Third Formation's face narrowed his smile, and there was a bit of confusion between his brows. "I heard you mentioned before that the Qing Emperor was cooperating with Senior [Hong] to carry out top-secret operations. He died mysteriously during the project, so why does the restricted area appear outside the wilderness?"

"I'm not sure about this." Taoist Master Chang Geng shook his head, "According to the various emperors, Senior Hong has not sent back any news for more than a million years. Whether that so-called top-secret plan came to fruition or not No one knows even if we fail.”

"Perhaps the news really was not sent back, or maybe an emperor received the news but chose to conceal it." The Taoist Master of the Third Formation had a solemn expression, "Although we claim to be the 'Half-step Immortal Emperor', we are actually not the same as the real Immortal Emperor. The gap between the emperor and the emperor is huge, so being excluded from the news layer may not be impossible.”

"Even if it is as you guessed, there is nothing we can do." Taoist Master Chang Geng said seriously, "Fortunately, there is news in the restricted area. The most important thing now is to welcome the Emperor back to the restricted area and retrieve the Emperor's inheritance. Wait for our Qing Dynasty There is also an Immortal Emperor in the Emperor Palace, so everything will be easier."

"Brother Chang Geng, tell me about your plan." Thinking that the human race might add another Immortal Emperor, the Taoist Master of the Third Formation was also very excited. "As long as I, the Third Formation, can do it, I will do my best."

Taoist Master Chang Geng straightened his expression and revealed his plan.

"Although there is an old-fashioned teleportation array between the ruins of Wuji City and the Immortal Alliance, considering that the ruins of Wuji City are within the scope of the demon clan's influence and the situation is unknown, it would be easy to act rashly and alert the enemy. We thought over and over again and decided to be cautious for the sake of safety. Act.”

"Our current plan is to send an advance force to take the Shenzhou directly across the Void Sea and reach the target location."

"I hope Brother Sanzhen can send several Taoist masters who are proficient in ultra-long-distance space arrays to accompany our advance troops. When we get there, we will not rush to find the restricted area, but determine the space coordinates first, and build both sides at the same time. Ultra-long distance space teleportation array!"

"With the teleportation array, we can send a large number of people there to avoid various accidents."

"So, it is indeed safe." The Taoist Master of the Third Formation nodded slightly after hearing this, but then he raised doubts, "For such a long distance, even a single Shenzhou would take at least a thousand years to sail, right? Moreover, such a long-distance large-scale The teleportation array requires a massive investment of resources."

"It's only been more than a thousand years, and our shrine can afford to wait." Taoist Master Chang Geng said excitedly, "As for the resources to build the teleportation array, you don't have to worry about it. Over the years, our shrine has relied on helping people farm and heal their wounds. I saved some money."

"Our palace has been dormant and preparing for millions of years, all for today! You will never be short-changed in terms of resources!"

"That's good." The Taoist Master of the Third Formation nodded slightly, and then continued, "Then there is only one question left. I heard that your Xuanqing Shenzhou disappeared together with the Qing Emperor and the restricted area. Where did your Shenzhou come from? ?”

"Wuji Divine Palace." Taoist Master Chang Geng said calmly, as if he had already calculated everything, "Their divine boat is still there, but because of the huge consumption of use and maintenance, they simply cannot afford to use it, but they are reluctant to part with it. , they dare not sell it, so they can only seal it up. They are so poor now that they are almost begging for food. I am willing to pay a large sum of money to rent it for two to three thousand years. They must be very happy. "

"It makes sense. Wuji Palace is indeed too poor." The Taoist Master of the Third Formation nodded in agreement.

Now, he has no more problems.

He was about to happily agree to participate in the plan.

Suddenly.

The stars on the nine-star array tablet that I had never paid attention to, indicating that the seventh level had been passed, suddenly lit up.

next moment.

The onlookers suddenly burst into cheers of shock.

Although many people hated Jiang Wuwang, at this moment, they had to be conquered by his performance.

A seven-star formation mage who is less than three thousand years old!

I'm afraid, this is the youngest Seven Star Formation Master in history, right?

"...?"

The Taoist Master of the Third Formation was also confused for a moment.

How can it be? This kid actually succeeded in passing the seventh level, and is actively going through the eighth level! ?

Doesn't this mean that the backup plan he had previously arranged was suddenly eliminated?

…
