Chapter 1275: Reversed Yin-Yang Locking Heaven Formation
After hearing this, Xiao Lin fell silent. He didn't like to get involved in such a fight.
This was consistent with his cautious character. Before he had absolute power, it was fundamental to improve his combat power in a low-key manner.
Moreover, although he had already left the Northern Sky Region, if he was too ostentatious, there was no guarantee that the Tianmu Clan or even the Ling Clan in the Northern Sky Region would not find this place. With his current weak combat power, it would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot if he wanted to fight against the power of a clan.
As if seeing Xiao Lin's concerns, Shan Zhongyuan hurriedly said: "The Immortal Envoy does not need to worry. We, the Flash Wings and the Iron Arms, have agile speed and amazing strength. Under normal circumstances, there is no conflict between our two tribes. Even some interests in sea trade will not cause the two tribes to fight. The Immortal Envoy is just a symbolic display of power. After knowing that we also worship the Immortal Envoy, the Iron Arms will no longer continue to be aggressive, and our business in sea trade can be smoothly carried out again."
After listening to Shan Zhongyuan's explanation, Xiao Lin stood up and said: "Xiao will go to the back mountain to check it out first. If it is really suitable for cultivation, Xiao will consider it. If it is not a place that Xiao likes, Xiao is not suitable for this Immortal Envoy."
Hearing the loose meaning revealed in Xiao Lin's words, Shan Zhongyuan immediately showed a surprised expression.
"Master Immortal Envoy, you can check it out. The Mist Hidden Immortal Mountain is full of spiritual energy. Many years ago, a Master Immortal Envoy practiced there. Later, for some reason, the Master Immortal Envoy left and never came back. The Immortal Mountain is full of various mazes and prohibitions. Our clansmen have also gone there to investigate, but most of them were trapped in the arrays. They would escape by chance after a few days when the fog dissipated. As time went by, no one went there."
Xiao Lin nodded and walked out the door.
Shan Zhongyuan sent Xiao Lin to the entrance of the valley in the back mountain, and then the two separated. Xiao Lin drove the escape light and headed towards the back mountain.
After passing through the valley, Xiao Lin saw the Mist Hidden Immortal Mountain mentioned by Shan Zhongyuan. It was indeed covered by a layer of white fog. This reminded Xiao Lin of the Mist Hidden Immortal City he entered that year, which was also foggy all year round.
But the fog here is obviously different. The water vapor is mixed with rich spiritual energy. In Xiao Lin's opinion, the spiritual vein here is at least a high-level spiritual vein.
Xiao Lin's current realm does not require high quality of spiritual veins. For him, if he wants to improve his cultivation quickly, he still needs to rely on various spiritual pills.
However, the sixth-level spiritual medicine he transplanted in the spiritual wood space has basically been consumed. After a while, he will go out to look for more seedlings of sixth-level spiritual medicine.
Xiao Lin walked directly into the fog. The fog was not an obstacle to his spiritual eyes. Xiao Lin soon saw that the arrangement in the forest was just an ordinary magic array. This array was not fatal. It formed a fog by stimulating the surrounding water vapor, making people who strayed in lost their way and trapped.
Every three days, this array will fail for half a day, and then the fog will dissipate. At that time, the people trapped in it will naturally be able to re-identify the direction and escape from here.
Xiao Lin turned left and right, and soon passed through the foggy land, and then entered a small canyon. The canyon was still shrouded in thick white fog, and the white fog here was condensed and did not disperse, emitting a faint fragrance.
Xiao Lin saw at a glance through his spiritual eyes that the faint fragrance came from a plant that looked a bit like an orchid.
This plant is not a spiritual medicine, but the fragrance makes people feel a hundred times more energetic.
But Xiao Lin knew that the formation arranged in this valley was fatal to ordinary people. The fog here would not dissipate. Once ordinary people were trapped here, it was basically impossible to leave the valley.
Sure enough, after walking a distance of dozens of feet, Xiao Lin saw several white bones and several beasts' corpses scattered on the ground.
However, this level of formation was like child's play in Xiao Lin's eyes. Soon he walked into the valley, and the scenery changed. The fog in the valley completely disappeared, the sun shone on the top of the valley, and various exotic flowers and plants grew in the valley, including many low-level spiritual herbs.
On one side of the valley, there was a waterfall that fell from the top of the mountain, washing out a deep pool in the valley, and around the deep pool, there were all kinds of low-level spiritual herbs.
If these spiritual herbs were seen by those low-level cultivators in the Qi Refining and Foundation Building stages, they would definitely go crazy, but for Xiao Lin, he turned a blind eye to them. His eyes were looking at a wooden building at the end of the valley.
It was called a wooden building, but in fact it only had one floor, but it was about twice as high as an ordinary hut.
The door of the wooden building was ajar, and in front of the wooden building, there was a stone table, on which a chessboard was obviously carved, and some black and white chess pieces could be vaguely seen.
Xiao Lin was slightly stunned. Under normal circumstances, those alien races would not play chess. Usually only humans, or those high-level cultivators who have achieved high cultivation and have already transformed into Taoist bodies, would study Go.
"Could it be that the person who used to live in seclusion here and practice was a human?" Xiao Lin was also very surprised. He didn't expect that in this desolate sea area, he would actually encounter the place where the senior cultivators of the same race practiced.
Xiao Lin slowly came to the stone table. When he saw the chess pieces on the chessboard, his body suddenly shook, and two bright lights burst out of his eyes.
Xiao Lin stared at the chessboard for a long time.
Then he walked towards the wooden building.
"Branch~" Xiao Lin pushed open the wooden door, and a large amount of dust fell, but the dust fell from Xiao Lin's head to the ground on both sides, and never stained him at all.
Xiao Lin walked into the wooden building and smelled a fragrance of orchids. The wooden building was very clean. Although the color on the bedding had almost faded, it could still be vaguely distinguished. It must have been woven with very luxurious brocade.
Besides the stone bed and wooden table, Xiao Lin's eyes fell on a painting on the wall.
In the painting was a tall man, holding a Taoist priest, with clear eyes, but from his clear eyes, one could vaguely see a bit of worry.
Not far from him, stood a graceful woman, holding a jade flute in her hand, looking at the man affectionately, with thick sorrow between her brows.
"Your husband's worries have built a high building, but the human race is like straw dogs, and you can't ascend to the top of the immortal world one day. How can I worry about you?"
Next to the painting was an ancient poem, with beautiful handwriting and endless thoughts. People knew at a glance that it must have been written by a woman full of worries.
However, Xiao Lin looked at the man and woman in the painting for a long time without saying a word.
"Langhuan chess game? I didn't expect to meet an old friend again in this wild sea of the spiritual world." Xiao Lin sighed softly after a long time and spoke.
It turns out that the man and woman in this painting are exactly the same as the sculptures Xiao Lin saw in the Langhuan Cave Mansion that year, that is, the man in this painting is Murong Yuntian, a genius from the ancient wilderness world.
However, Xiao Lin still has no idea of the woman's name.
Xiao Lin's shocked expression after seeing the chessboard outside the wooden building was because he found that the chessboard on it was the Langhuan chessboard he saw that year.
Murong Yuntian is a genius in the southern region. He has been in the world of immortal cultivation for more than a thousand years, but then he suddenly disappeared.
There are rumors that he ascended to the upper realm, and there are also rumors that he has already passed away.
Now in Xiao Lin's view, this genius in the world of immortal cultivation has obviously ascended to the spiritual world, but he doesn't know whether this person is still alive.
From the layout of this wooden building, Xiao Lin can probably guess that this is not the place where Murong Yuntian practices, but the woman in the painting.
Whether in the Langhuan Secret Realm or in this foggy valley, this woman was full of love and worry for Murong Yuntian.
Xiao Lin believed that there must be an unusual relationship between the two, but in the Langhuan Secret Realm, Xiao Lin did not find any evidence of their relationship.
Xiao Lin walked around the wooden building, and there was nothing else except the painting on the wall.
And this woman had obviously left for a long time and had not come back again.
Xiao Lin's face suddenly condensed, as if something sounded. He walked out of the wooden building and came to the chessboard. Looking at the Langhuan chess game on it, his thoughts actually returned to countless years ago.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Lin took a chess piece from the dusty chess jar and gently placed it on the chessboard.
"Buzz~~" When the chess piece fell, a colorful light suddenly appeared on the chessboard, and then the chessboard suddenly disappeared, and a thin yellowed booklet appeared in the original position of the chessboard.
"Inverted Yin and Yang Locking Heaven Formation?"
Xiao Lin was stunned when he saw the vague ancient seal on the booklet.
Xiao Lin was not unfamiliar with this Inverted Yin and Yang Locking Heaven Formation. According to legend, it was the amazing formation that Murong Yuntian was good at performing. In the past, he relied on this formation to be invincible and defeated many immortal masters. It was also because of this that he established his reputation as the first cultivator.
In the Langhuan Secret Realm, Xiao Lin had deliberately searched for it, but he did not find it. Unexpectedly, Xiao Lin actually found it in an inconspicuous island valley in this desolate sea area, which made Xiao Lin feel that God was playing tricks on him.
Xiao Lin gently picked up the booklet and opened the first page. It was full of obscure text. Xiao Lin saw at a glance that this was the method of refining the array plate and array flag of the Inverted Yin and Yang Locking Heaven Formation.
Xiao Lin was extremely happy. This Inverted Yin and Yang Locking Heaven Formation was the epitome of formations, mysterious and profound. If he could fully comprehend it, his attainments in formations would surely advance to a higher level.
After putting away the booklet, Xiao Lin thought again, how could the secret book of this Inverted Yin and Yang Locking Heaven Formation be here? Originally, Xiao Lin thought that this Inverted Yin and Yang Locking Heaven Formation was created by Murong Yuntian, but now Xiao Lin has doubts about it.
"Could it be that the flute-playing woman is the real person who invented this Inverted Yin and Yang Locking Heaven Formation?"
Xiao Lin thought of a possibility, which could also explain why the secret book of the formation was here.
When Xiao Lin entered this valley, he had not made a decision yet. Now that he had encountered the former residence of his predecessors in the mortal world, Xiao Lin changed his mind and decided to use this place as his temporary place of cultivation.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin came to the wooden building and used magic to clean the entire wooden building, which was completely new.
Then Xiao Lin used his magical powers to move several huge bluestones from the mountain, and then spit out the flying sword, carved out some stone benches and stone chairs and other furniture items.
Then he placed them in the wooden building.
After doing all this, Xiao Lin came to the valley entrance again, took out the formation flags and formation plates, and began to carefully arrange the formation restrictions.
After working for most of the day, Xiao Lin finally finished it. Now even if the immortal cultivators looked down from the void, they could not see this small valley, but only a piece of green mountains and green waters, without any trace of living creatures.
Xiao Lin came to the stone bench in front of the door and sat down. After a little thought, he waved his sleeves and a fire cloud immediately appeared in front of him.
In the fire cloud, ten red beetles the size of a koala appeared and disappeared. They were the ten soul-devouring fire insects raised by Xiao Lin.
Before entering the Tiandu Secret Realm, Xiao Lin specifically summoned the soul-devouring fire insects back. The ten soul insects now had a much stronger aura than before.
Although they have not yet advanced to the wild level, it seems that Xiao Lin is not far away.
But Xiao Lin didn't know what preparations were needed for the soul-devouring fire insects to advance to the wild level? And whether they would have to go through the baptism of heavenly tribulation like the immortal cultivators.
So Xiao Lin used his thoughts to let these guys restrain their auras, so as not to attract heavenly tribulation in advance and catch himself off guard.
Now that he had come to this desolate sea area, and he knew from Shan Zhongyuan that this was the area controlled by the demon clan, he would travel around here and find out how to advance the Soul Devouring Fire Gu.
Xiao Lin used his divine sense to let ten Soul Devouring Fire Gu guard the valley and the mountain gate for him.
The ten Soul Devouring Fire Gu immediately flew in all directions, and soon shot into the dense forest or behind the rocks, and disappeared without a trace, even their breath disappeared without a trace. If Xiao Lin had not been able to sense their existence through his blood, he would not have been able to find them.
Xiao Lin nodded with satisfaction, then thought about it for a while, and moved his lips again, and through the Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Divine Power, he told Shan Zhongyuan that he had chosen this place as a place for cultivation, and that he would temporarily practice in seclusion for a period of time, etc.
Shan Zhongyuan was waiting anxiously, when suddenly Xiao Lin's voice rang in his ears, frightening him so much that he jumped up. After knowing that Xiao Lin agreed to practice in Wuyin Xianshan, he was overjoyed and bowed to thank him repeatedly.
After doing all this, Xiao Lin turned and walked into the wooden building, sat cross-legged on the stone bed, and began to think.
Xiao Lin now knew that in addition to his second soul, his wife Lin Xueying also ascended to the spiritual world. Of course, Xia Mo may have also ascended to the spiritual world.
However, in order to avoid being hunted down, Xiao Lin could not return to the Northern Sky Region, so naturally he could not find his second soul and Lin Xueying.
As for Xia Mo, it is very likely that she has never ascended to the Northern Sky Region. As for where she is, Xiao Lin has no idea.
He and his wife Lin Xueying originally had a heart pendant, but unfortunately it was broken after Lin Xueying encountered danger that time. Now there are so many people, and it is like looking for a needle in the sea to find his wife.
"Ah~~" After sighing softly, Xiao Lin drove all distracting thoughts out of his mind and began to practice with his eyes closed.
