Chapter 896: Battle Formation
Taking one step forward, the green figure walked into the depths of the Jade Immortal Realm.
There are many mountains and rocks in the boundary, and the evil air currents are surging. The turbid currents underneath have almost condensed into substance. The rugged mountains are layered on top of each other, spreading to the distant sky.
"Although the Jade Immortal Realm has been opened for a short time, it is much more perfect than the Chessboard Realm and the Demon God Realm." Gu Xiuyun looked into the distance, "Since the endless void was opened, the pure air has risen and the turbid air has sunk. So far, it has not been able to truly Taking shape, many realms are still in a turbid state.”
Four hundred million years are extremely long for practitioners, but they are still very short for the endless void!
Today's Endless Void is just a newborn baby.
"The Jade Immortal Realm is a bit weird," the black pig tilted his head and looked at it for a long time, then muttered, "I always feel like something is wrong."
"The Jade Immortal Realm is famous for being rich in jade spiritual crystals, and the formations are prosperous, so it is naturally a little different." Gu Xiuyun glanced at the distance, "The edge of the realm is usually the most barren area for cultivation, but there are so many formation masters. There must be more formation masters deep in the realm."
Deep in the mountains, a large number of Douxiao realm practitioners are meditating with their eyes closed. Everyone has a fusion divine array around them. There are even several four-attribute fusion divine arrays among them, and they are the kind that can be maintained for a long time.
Such a scene is simply impossible in other realms.
A three-attribute fusion divine formation is worth about three to four hundred thousand Xuanjia coins.
The four-attribute fusion divine array can compete with the power of true artistic conception. Just setting up the divine array consumes nearly five million Xuanjia coins in spiritual materials, let alone perfecting it and running it for a long time.
This type of divine array can only be used by first-class sects established by ninth-grade ancestors. Ordinary forces such as Yuqiong Palace and Linhan Clan can deploy at most a three-attribute divine array.
"The Jade Immortal Realm is known as the richest realm in the endless void. Jade is everywhere, and crystals are like grass. It's true." Gu Xiuyun sighed repeatedly, "The entire realm has turned into a jade mountain. It's too easy to mine spiritual materials for formations. Even if you are in the early stage of Douxiao Realm, it only takes hundreds of years to collect all the spiritual materials of the three-attribute divine formation."
The black pig looked disdainful.
It has a very high vision now, ordinary jade crystals cannot be seen at all, at least it must be a treasure at the level of true artistic conception.
Whoosh!
The cyan figure flew through the void, heading towards the very depths of the Jade Immortal Realm.
The second Taoist imprint containing the mystery of destiny is in the core area of the Jade Immortal Realm and belongs to the top power Tianzhen Sect. There is a venerable person behind it.
There are no true sages in the Jade Immortal Realm, and there are only four sages.
The formations here are prosperous, and jade spiritual crystals can be found everywhere, but the foundation of the immortal way is too shallow, and because of the prosperity of the formations, the evolution of the immortal way has been suppressed, and the true realm of power is much less than in other realms.
The venerables are all pursuing the Tao of Life and higher levels of Taoism, so naturally they don’t want to stay in the Jade Immortal Realm!
Formation methods are, after all, a trivial matter to the venerable. For hundreds of millions of years, no one has ever been able to achieve venerable status with formations. The limit is the five-attribute fusion divine formation.
This road is impassable, and it has long been concluded by the world's sages.
…
Half an hour later.
The cyan figure came to the core area of the Jade Immortal Realm. In front of him were rugged mountains and rocks, towering immortal peaks, and deep canyons.
Every mountain is tens of millions of feet high. Cranes are galloping in the mountains, palaces and attics are sparsely scattered, and they are filled with rich aura.
"What a fairy palace cave," Gu Xiuyun raised his eyes and looked into the distance. "The wealth in the Jade Immortal Realm is really far superior to other realms. The palace is paved with jade spiritual crystals, and the formation spiritual materials are scattered randomly for practitioners in other realms to see. I’m afraid I’ll go crazy with jealousy.”
"Unfortunately, the major realms are far apart. It takes hundreds of years for the ninth-grade ancestors to travel, and the original elixirs consumed along the way are countless. No matter how rich the Jade Immortal Realm is, it is difficult to exchange for spiritual treasures from other realms. Elixir."
The Jade Immortal Realm is full of mountains and rocks, and jade spiritual crystals emerge in endless streams. For those who specialize in formations, this is a paradise in the world of cultivation.
But success is also jade, failure is also jade.
Ninety percent of the Jade Immortal Realm is filled with mountains, and there are layers of clouds above the surface, with a total of thirty-six layers.
Only a very small part of the two qi, clear and turbid, is left.
Without the turbid currents of Gangsha, it would be difficult to breed heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and elixirs would be extremely rare. In addition to studying the formations every day, practitioners would practice with their eyes closed in the divine formations and rarely go out for walks.
Even the Jade Immortal Realm cannot be left.
Because those true artistic conception powers lack the original elixir, facing the dangerous terrain of the endless void, Xuanling Crystal and ordinary elixir alone cannot support them at all.
"Without magic medicine, without fighting, without fighting, how can Taoism evolve in the Jade Immortal Realm?"
"No wonder this world is extremely weak, and the ninth-grade Patriarch is unwilling to stay any longer."
Gu Xiuyun shook his head slightly.
The location of the Jade Immortal Realm is quite remote, and the true artistic conception that can come here is at least the peak of the Heavenly Wheel Realm. How can such people have such high vision, how can they do things that are beneath their status, such as buying low and selling high?
What's more, jade spiritual crystals are not considered precious. If you fill a storage spiritual treasure, you can earn up to 1.8 million Xuanjia coins, which is not as good as the ninth-grade patriarch refining it himself.
…
Gu Xiuyun only stayed for a moment when a figure approached.
"Who are you, and why are you staying near our Tianzhen Sect?"
The person who came was slightly plump, with Taoist robes all around his body engraved with formation patterns. The broad bridge of his nose made his eyes appear to be extremely small, with his eyes pointing skyward, and an expression that looked like he was looking at people through his nostrils.
Gu Xiuyun's whole body was filled with spiritual power, and the seventh-level mystery was ups and downs, but this did not make the other party show any caution, but instead made him a little impatient.
Crystals in the Jade Immortal Realm are endless, but elixirs and rare treasures are extremely scarce and traceless. Therefore, practitioners in this realm rarely fight for resources. Over time, they even lose basic caution.
In addition, the Jade Immortal Realm is also the only one among hundreds of realms that is dominated by human practitioners. The number of monsters is very small, and void creatures are almost non-existent.
Without the strong men of the demon clan, the hostility in the cultivation world has been reduced by half. Fighting is rare, and most of them are based on competition of formations.
"Gu Yun, a poor Taoist, heard that the Tianzhen Sect's formation method is unparalleled, so he wanted to come here to ask for advice." Gu Xiuyun said, cupping his fists.
"Fighting Formation?!"
The fat man's eyes flashed, and he suddenly became energetic, "I wonder where you come from? Qingshui Mountain? Fangcun Tower?"
"No sect, no sect, just a casual cultivator." Gu Xiuyun said.
The face of the fat man suddenly turned gloomy, and he said contemptuously, "Let's go, let's not delay my practice. Where is Tianzhen Sect, and how dare anyone come here to start a fight?"
"The Tianzhen Sect doesn't dare to fight. Is it because they are afraid?"
Gu Xiuyun sneered, "I have a few immortal elixirs in my hands, and I am willing to use them as a bet. As long as the disciples of your sect arrange a divine formation that I cannot solve, I will turn around and leave without saying a word." "
As he spoke, three immortal elixirs hung in the air, exuding rich spiritual energy.
The fat man's eyes shone when he saw it, and he wanted to grab it immediately.
There is a lack of elixirs in the Jade Immortal Realm, and there are many dangerous obstacles on the path of cultivation that cannot be easily overcome, such as condensing the true soul, stabilizing the inner heaven and earth, expanding the heavenly pass...
Three immortal elixirs are enough to drive Tianzhen Sect disciples crazy!
"Okay, come with me!"
The fat man turned his hands, opened a thousand-mile formation path, and led Gu Xiuyun deep into the mountains.
…
The Tianzhen Sect has a vast territory, with hundreds of millions of miles of mountains all around the sect’s headquarters.
Each Douxiao Realm has its own mountain peak, which is used to deduce formations and study formations. As for the spiritual materials and crystal stones used in setting up formations, most of them are taken locally, or the disciples in the peak go out to collect them.
The fat man led Gu Xiuyun through more than a dozen mountains and arrived at a rather wide plain.
Standing in the clouds, looking down, the plain is covered with formation patterns, layer upon layer, making one's scalp numb.
"According to the sect's rules, anyone who comes to fight must first pass through the most basic Nine Curves of Clouds and Water Formation before they can challenge the masters of each peak." The fat man Dun said with contempt on his face, "Your Excellency is very accomplished in Taoism. The Tao method is quite good, but it’s hard to tell. If you can’t even break through the Nine Curves of Clouds and Water Formation, you don’t have to show your shame in front of this sect.”
Gu Xiuyun lowered his head and looked at Pingyuan.
In the dense array of formations, practitioners come and go, 90% of them are juniors in Kaimai Realm, and only a few have reached Douxiao Realm.
"Did you see that there are thousands of cultivators down there who challenge our sect. Everyone knows that the Tianzhen Sect does not reject anyone who comes. Any sect can come to fight, but this sect will not easily accept the challenge. Jiuqu Yunshui You have to break through the formation within at least three hours without being stained by any rainwater before you are qualified to fight against the masters of the peaks."
Gu Xiuyun floated down.
Two Douxiao Realm elders guarding the plains sensed the fluctuations around Gu Xiuyun, and quickly stepped forward to bow, "Greetings to Master Shangmiao."
The Jade Immortal Realm is barren of rare treasures and elixirs, and the number of Shangmiao Masters is not large, even less than one percent of those in the Chessboard Realm and the Demon God Realm. In the huge Tianzhen Sect, there are only two masters of Shangmiao Realm.
"I have met two fellow Taoists," Gu Xiuyun cupped his fists and returned the greeting, "Come down here to fight, can you activate the Nine-Bend Cloud Water Formation?"
"Fighting formation?"
The eyes of the two Douxiao elders suddenly changed, their respectful expressions faded away, and a hint of unruliness appeared on their faces.
Comparing formation techniques, Tianzhen Sect disciples have never been afraid of anyone.
"According to the rules, the Jiuqu Cloud Water Formation will only be opened once every ten years. Since Master Shangmiao has spoken, let's open it in advance!"
The two Douxiao elders flew to both sides of the plain.
With the activation of spiritual power, the lines all over the sky erupted with bright light, and then, an astonishing aura filled the void, reaching up to the ninth level of the clouds and down to the depths of the earth, filled with water vapor.
"The Jiuqu Cloud Water Formation has been opened. All practitioners who challenge the Tianzhen Sect can go in and try," the two Douxiao elders said in unison, "If you can break out of the formation within three hours without any cloud energy on your body, Rain will count as success.”
call!
The wind howled.
All the nine layers of clouds turned dark and black, filled with thunder and rainstorms. The wind and rain came together, and every drop of rain was like a sharp sword.
"Pindao has tried three times.
The Heavenly Formation Sect's Nine-Bend Cloud Water Formation is really extraordinary. I'm just a hair short of it every time. I will definitely succeed this time. "
A master of the Xuan Dynasty stepped into the depths of the cloud and water formation.
"Nine-curved clouds and water formation...the most basic formation of the Tianzhen Sect. It is said that only by passing this formation can one become the master of a peak. Breaking through the nine-curved clouds and water formation is a test given by my master. I must succeed."
Another practitioner stepped into the formation.
"All the formations in the world come from the Tianzhen Sect. If I want to become the strongest formation master, I can only join the Tianzhen Sect."
Another person entered the Yunshui Formation.
…
Gu Xiuyun glanced at the nine layers of clouds, his eyes as calm as water, took one step forward, and followed him into the divine formation.
Entering the Tianzhen Sect in the name of Dou Zhen was a plan he had made long ago.
The Jade Immortal Realm has mountains and mountains, and jade spiritual crystals are inexhaustible. Over time, the entire cultivation world is dominated by formations, and cultivating immortals and seeking the Tao has become secondary.
The fighting formation is a unique fighting method in the Jade Immortal Realm.
Tianzhen Sect is the strongest sect in the entire Jade Immortal Realm, and it is also the sect that is best at formations. Every year, a large number of practitioners come to challenge. Once they succeed, at the very least, they can become a guest of the sect.
Those who are luckier can even directly worship under the tutelage of a great master in the realm of true meaning and become a core disciple of Tianzhen Sect.
Gu Xiuyun certainly does not want to worship Tianzhen Sect. He just wants to find an excuse to find the imprint of Taoism and comprehend the mystery of fate.
If there is no venerable sitting behind Tianzhen Sect, he does not need to spend so much effort. He can just change his form and impersonate. But the appearance can be changed, but the causal line cannot be disguised. Once the venerable finds out, there is only one way to go.
Deep in the clouds.
The rain poured down, almost completely covering all areas.
As far as the eye can see, more than a dozen profound masters of Ruxuan flew away at high speed, avoiding the rain while looking for the right path.
In just a moment, one person was hit by the rain.
This person used all his strength to push the Taoist secrets to resist, but the force of the water droplets was as strong as a thousand pounds, and instantly blasted it away. The rain pressed down, and the cultivator who failed to break through the formation was sent out of the Nine-Bend Cloud Water Formation.
"It seems that the Nine-Bend Cloud Water Formation can only be avoided, and can't rely on Taoist secrets to forcibly resist."
Gu Xiuyun's fingertips moved slightly, and his soul swept across a radius of ten thousand miles, and soon found more than a dozen suitable paths.
For more than 20,000 years of practice, he spent most of his time on the five elements and space rules, and rarely comprehended the formation, but with the improvement of the Taoist realm, his vision became broader and his attainments in the formation also rose invisibly.
At this moment, just a little deduction, he saw through the structure of the entire cloud water formation.
"No need to be too fast, two hours should be enough to get out!"
...
Outside the Nine-Bend Cloud Water Formation.
Three disciples of the Tianzhen Sect gathered around the elder guarding the formation, looking at the mirror light formation with a sneer on their faces.
"I thought that Master Shangmiao was very capable. He walked for a long time before reaching the fourth cloud layer. His attainments in formation are just so-so. I will take action to deal with him later." One of Douxiao's disciples snorted.
"Junior brother, you want to monopolize the three immortal herbs!"
Another person looked at him slightly sideways.
"Both brothers don't have to fight. Let's choose one person to fight with him and share the benefits. How about that?"
The fat man said with a smile.
The immortal herbs in Gu Xiuyun's hand were quite tempting. With the fat man's mind, it would be best to monopolize them, but he knew that the other party dared to challenge him, at least reached the level of a peak master, and he had not been able to break through the Nine-bend Cloud Water Formation.
The fat man alone would definitely lose, so he specially invited two peak masters with whom he had a close relationship.
One was good at illusion formations, and the other was good at killing formations. When they joined forces, even the most powerful formation master would be defeated on the spot.
Two hours passed.
A green figure walked out of the formation, his body spotless and neat as new.
"Sure enough, he got through!"
The fat man and his two brothers looked at each other, without any surprise on their faces.
"Since he wants to fight, let's fight him. I just realized a three-attribute divine formation not long ago. I want to see how he breaks it?"
One of the Douxiao realm spoke with contempt.
This person's cultivation is only in the middle stage of Douxiao realm, and he barely comprehends the sixth-grade mystery. It is impossible to master the three-attribute divine formation, but the Jade Immortal Realm has evolved for tens of millions of years, and the perfection of the formation is far beyond other realms.
From the five-attribute fusion divine formation to the basic formation, it is as vast as the sea of smoke. Almost all the formation classics have been deduced and perfected. Only practitioners in the Jade Immortal Realm can cross the realm of Taoism and master higher-level formations.
"Brother Wen, have you mastered the three-attribute fusion formation?"
The stout man was surprised and congratulated repeatedly. At the same time, he was secretly happy. With the three-attribute formation unique to the Tianzhen Sect, a wandering cultivator would never be able to break it even if he spent ten or eight years.
Unless this person breaks the formation with brute force.
But if he does that, it is equivalent to admitting defeat.
In a battle formation, what matters is the attainment of the formation, not the cultivation.
