Chapter 154: Expert in Breaking Formations
c_t;After exchanging a few pleasantries with Xie Yong and Xu Xue, Luo Xiu's eyes caught sight of the group of people from the Purple Mansion Palace not far away. --
The leader was none other than Tao Zuojun, the young master of the Purple Mansion Palace. Beside him were two ninth-level masters of the Soul Refining Stage, a white-bearded old man who was restraining his aura, and behind him were a dozen young people of the fifth and sixth levels of the Soul Refining Stage.
Luo Xiu also saw Qiu Luoshui standing by, but the two concubines of Tao Zuojun were not here.
Apparently, during the more than one month of exploring the depths of the Xuanyou Secret Realm, several of the twenty people from the Purple Mansion Palace had been killed. The two concubines were the weakest in cultivation and were probably used as cannon fodder and died.
In the vicinity of the Tianwu Kingdom, there were three major forces that were stronger than the Fan Family Royal Family, and all three forces had martial emperor-level masters in charge.
The Purple Mansion Palace was one of them, and the other two were the Xuanyang Sect and the Changhe Sect.
Every time the Xuanyou Secret Realm in Tianwu Kingdom is opened, ordinary forces are not qualified to "interfere", but these three major forces have sent many young talents and masters, and they have occupied more places than the Fan family.
It is said that the Fan family has a good relationship with the Xuanyang Sect, so they can own a vast territory and occupy the ancient secret realm without being coveted by other forces.
In addition to those people in the Purple Mansion Palace, Luo Xiu sensed several powerful auras, which were the masters of the Xuanyang Sect and the Changhe "Clan".
Luo Xiu's current consciousness is comparable to that of the King of Martial Arts, and the cultivation of anyone below the King of Martial Arts will be seen by him.
As for Tao Zuojun of the Purple Mansion Palace, Luo Xiu had already moved his murderous intention, but there were too many people present, so he couldn't do it.
At the same time, Luo Xiu noticed that the three major forces, Zifu Palace, Xuanyang Sect, and Changhe ‘men’, were all trying to attract masters from all sides. Nine members of the Fan family’s royal family died at Luo Xiu’s hands, and one was killed while fighting for treasures. Without the Fan family’s royal family, the people of other families were not able to attract enough people, so they naturally became a mess.
Not far ahead, there were more than a dozen fifth-level formations with treasures hidden. If you want to get the treasures, you must break the formations, so almost everyone joined the camps of the three major forces.
“Are you Luo Xiu, the genius that Tianwu Kingdom claims to be rare in a hundred years? I am Yuan Hong from Xuanyang Sect. I want to invite you to join us and break the formations together to collect the treasures inside.”
A young man walked up to Luo Xiu and said in a very polite tone.
Luo Xiu had naturally noticed those fifth-level formations a long time ago. Two of them had been broken and all the things inside had been robbed. Xu Xue attracted the covetousness of Shao Shu Zhengqi because she had snatched a sixth-level spiritual ‘medicine’.
Although a sixth-level spiritual medicine is precious, there are many treasures in the Xuanyou Secret Realm. In addition to the shock of Luo Xiu's move just now, no one else dared to come and make plans. [Fast update, clean website pages, few ads, I like this kind of website the most, I must give a good review]
This Xuanyang Sect disciple named Yuan Hong valued Luo Xiu's strength, so he came to win him over.
"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Yuan, I can help you break the formation and get the treasure, but after the formation is broken, I have to choose the things first." Luo Xiu said so.
Hearing this, Yuan Hong frowned immediately, "Everyone works together to break the formation, Brother Luo, you have to choose first, I'm afraid that even if I, Yuan Hong, agree, others will not be willing."
"In that case, Brother Yuan, please go back." Luo Xiu said indifferently.
Luo Xiu actually had his own reasons and confidence for making the request. His consciousness had reached the level of Martial King, and he was already capable of setting up a fifth-order formation. Moreover, based on the mysteries of the two poles of life and death that he had comprehended from the second picture of the law of the origin of life and death, the fifth-order formation he set up was more exquisite and powerful.
Moreover, he also had an ancient shadowless dragon that was born with the power of space, and most of the formation restrictions could be ignored directly, passing through without obstruction.
Then the people from the Changhe Clan also came to win over Luo Xiu. After hearing his request, they couldn't help but shake their heads one after another, and then gave up.
After all, Luo Xiu was very powerful, and with his participation, the speed of breaking the formation would be faster, but everyone had made a lot of efforts, but you were asked to choose the good things first, and no one would be happy.
"Did Luo Xiu really say that?"
At the Zifu Palace, Tao Zuojun also heard about the Xuanyang Sect and the Changhe Clan trying to win over Luo Xiu.
"Yes." The person who inquired about the news said.
"This guy really doesn't know what he's talking about. Does he want to break the ancient formation by himself?" Tao Zuojun sneered.
The old man Duan beside him has reached the fifth level in the formation, but he is not sure about breaking these formations, let alone Luo Xiu?
"Young master, don't be careless. That little guy is not simple."
Unlike Tao Zuojun, the old man named Duan Lao had a trace of fear in his eyes.
The spiritual consciousness transformed into a sword, which is a means that only the martial king can do. This means can achieve the effect of soul attack and suppress martial arts at a lower level.
However, if a martial king who knows soul attack uses the spiritual consciousness to perform the soul attack secret technique, it is really terrible.
There are more than 130 people who entered the Xuanyou Secret Realm, half of whom died, and the remaining more than 50 people basically gathered here.
The three major sects tried to win over masters from all sides, probably because Xuanyang Sect had a good relationship with the royal family of Fan family of Tianwu Kingdom, more than twenty people gathered on the Xuanyang Sect's side.
The number of people in Zifu Palace and Changhe Gate is relatively small, but there are more than ten people, which is not too big.
After the initial chaos, they are now completely divided into three groups, with clear boundaries.
But to be precise, it should be four camps, because Luo Xiu also has Bi Qianxue, Xie Yong and Xu Xue, as well as an ancient shadowless dragon that others cannot see.
The three major forces all chose a fifth-level formation, led by several ninth-level masters of the soul refining, and all the people were under unified command, constantly attacking the formation light curtain.
The formation here is not a single defense formation or a killing formation, but an attack and defense in one, which contains the mystery of the ancient formation arrangement.
It’s just that many things in ancient times have been lost, and it is hard to find them in the world.
"Let’s try it too." Luo Xiu said with a smile, and then walked towards the location of one of the formation light curtains.
Through the barrier of the formation light curtain, it can be vaguely seen that some "yin" stones are piled inside.
Things like Yin stones are precious cultivation resources for those who need them, but they are just treasures of relatively high value for those who don't need them.
The formations that Zifu Palace, Xuanyang Sect and Changhe Sect first chose to attack were full of spiritual medicines or materials.
Compared to those things, Luo Xiu needed a lot of Yin stones, so that he could break through to a higher level of cultivation faster.
Just as he walked to a distance of more than ten meters from the formation light curtain, a sharp breath rushed towards him, implying murderous intent. As long as he continued to approach, he would be attacked by the ancient formation.
"What a wonderful formation technique!"
In the eyes of ordinary martial artists, these formation light curtains are nothing special, but for those who understand formations, they can see the interlaced formation patterns and flashing runes hidden in the formation light.
This ancient formation is countless times more complicated and mysterious than the formations Luo Xiu has studied. Although they are both fifth-level formations, the concepts and knowledge contained in the ancient formations are like a vast ocean. However, the fifth-level formations arranged by the so-called fifth-level formation masters in the world are like a drop of inconspicuous water.
"Long Ming, can you get through this formation?" Luo Xiu asked.
"It's a piece of cake. Our Shadowless Dragon was a professional in breaking formations in ancient times!" Long Ming curled his lips and said disdainfully.
The way of formations is actually to 'control' the power of heaven and earth in a space. Shadowless Dragon is born with the power of space. In ancient times, except for a very small number of formations, most formations were like nothing in front of Shadowless Dragon.
Breaking formations professional, this description is quite appropriate.
"You go into the formation and take out the things inside." Luo Xiu said.
Before he finished speaking, Long Ming went straight into the light curtain of the formation. The ancient formation did not move at all, as if it did not notice that something had broken in.
Long Ming went in quietly to get something, while Luo Xiu simply sat cross-legged outside the formation, comprehending the various mysteries contained in the ancient formation.
He found that the patterns and runes of the ancient formation could be verified with the second picture of the origin law. From time to time, vague inspirations flashed in his mind, making Luo Xiu feel that his understanding of the power of life and death could take a big step forward at any time.
Since the fusion of the life and death beads, the condensation of the life and death wheels in the dantian, and then the nine pictures of the origin law containing the mysteries of the two poles of life and death, Luo Xiu has a rough and vague concept of the realm of the two poles of life and death.
The first step in practicing the two poles of life and death is to maintain the balance of the two diametrically opposed attributes of life and death.
This step is the most difficult one. Even countless geniuses and geniuses of ancient times stopped here, and some even lost their lives due to the loss of balance between the two poles of life and death, or they became neither human nor ghost.
For Luo Xiu, this first and most difficult step is actually the simplest one.
Because he has integrated the life and death beads, the power of the two poles of life and death will automatically balance in his body.
After the first step of life and death balance, it is the real step into the practice and mastery of the power of life and death. The initial realm is to master life and death separately.
The next step is the fusion of life and death, which includes everything, the yin and yang, and the mutual restraint of ice and fire.
In fact, Luo Xiu's perception of the power of life and death has always been more biased towards the power of death, and his perception of the power of life is relatively shallow.
The reason for this problem is, on the one hand, because he is killing and wandering on the edge of death.
On the other hand, it is because the first picture of the origin law mostly explains the mystery of the power of death.
Now, he began to comprehend the second picture of the origin law, which explained the mystery of the power of life!
Life and death are the two origins of the great way of heaven and earth.
"Ben" means the root, and "yuan" means the source, which implies everything in the world. The origin is the root and the source.
Therefore, we can comprehend the mystery of the origin from other directions and angles.
For example, we can comprehend the mystery of life through the water that nourishes all things, and comprehend the mystery of death through the fire that burns all things...
We can also verify the complicated patterns and runes in the picture of the origin law through the formation, and we can also get enlightenment and comprehend the mystery.
This kind of thing can only be understood but not expressed in words. Luo Xiu was completely immersed in that mysterious state.
"The power of death is engraved on the array pattern, which is mainly for death, killing, destruction, and damage."
"The power of life is engraved on the array pattern, which is mainly for life, defense, regeneration, and creation."
