Moreover, Changqingzi had more urgent matters to deal with, and he was sent to inform the disciples of the various sects in the four places to bring back one good news after another, and almost all the sects promised to send people to help.

Cultivators from all major sects came to Lingxiao in an endless stream, and the scale was not much different from that of the Panlong Society. Most of the cultivators who came to help this time were in the Yin and Yang realm, and in less than half a month, more than ninety percent of the top cultivators in the entire Xuanmu Domain had gathered on Lingxiao.

This kind of grand occasion makes everyone excited, but also full of complaints about the blue sky. Each faction has to pay a large amount of immortal crystals every year, which is used to consolidate the defense of the border city. Now that the beast tide has appeared for more than a month, in the end, it is still up to itself.

From the news sent back, it can be judged that although the beast tide is huge, it only advances more than ten miles a day, which is not fast, if the outer heaven originally summoned the five Xuan cultivators to block it head-on in the border city, maybe the sect towns within a few hundred miles would not have to suffer.

Lingxiao is only a few hundred miles away from Aoki City, and with the cultivation of these people, they can all be in place in an hour. Therefore, everyone was waiting for the news of Aoki City on Lingxiao, and at the same time, they were also looking forward to this unprecedented ferocious beast tide that would recede on its own.

Soon after, something happened that made them all feel unbelievable, and the Xuanjin Domain sent someone to send a message. Several major sects have already sent additional people to open the furnace for refining, and will send thousands of high-grade armor to Aoki City for reinforcements within ten days.

Aoki City is thousands of miles away from the Xuanjin Domain, and it is barely reasonable to send some Yin and Yang cultivators to help within ten days, and I am afraid it will take a month or two for the armor to arrive. Even if the messenger sent by Xuanjin City said it clearly, most people still thought that there was a lot of comfort in this news.

The situation of the beast tide approaching day by day made everyone's hearts secretly tense, and under this invisible pressure, the Lingxiao Ancient Elder took the lead in the Yin and Yang realm, followed by Tian Yingxiang and the Shi family brothers.

Pang Feiyang, who had been practicing silently in the Yangxian Hall, and Jiang Tai, who was cautious and timid, broke through the realm on the same day, and the fat master in the back kitchen also had a black and white luster.

Zhang Zhao was of course happy to hear the good news in the door, after he fed the scorpion dragon beast every day, he took two monkeys to the woods to find some game and wine, not only the old butcher could enjoy it, but the coachman Uncle Wang and the shadow demon also got a lot of light.

On this day, he had just finished delivering wine and food and went out, and found that the Shadow Demon was chasing him out after him, and seeing that he looked solemn as if he had something to say, Zhang Zhao hurriedly took him into his small courtyard.

"Someone recognizes you, you want to leave?" The Shadow Demon, who hadn't spoken for a long time, snorted when he heard Zhang Zhao's words: "How can anyone else recognize me besides you?

He put away his smile and said, "To get down to business, I feel that something is wrong with you spirits these days." Which sect would break through the Yin and Yang realm like this? There must be something strange on the mountain. ”

"Have you noticed that the rice planted by the people is not, even in the most fertile fields in the Xuantu Domain, it takes five or six months for the rice to mature and be harvested. But they have not been here for less than two months, and many rice fields have already grown. ”

"After I broke through the realm of incarnation that day, I thought it was some mystery in your healing technique. But if that's the case, you should first comprehend the method of rebirth. Recently, these things have made me understand a little, there must be some mysterious formation in your Lingxiao. ”

Seeing that the expression on Zhang Zhao's face did not change much, the shadow demon nodded: "If it is really a spirit gathering rune array, I said this to let you and the people who control the sect formation know that it is better to be more restrained in everything." ”

"This kind of place has always been a place for cultivators in the world to compete for, and gathering spirits excessively is to the detriment of others. If your formation goes on like this, once outsiders see through it, won't Lingxiao become the target of everyone?"

"The Spirit Gathering Array is just a formation, why do you say that you harm others and benefit yourself?" Although Zhang Zhao didn't know anything about the formation, he heard Dao Tianya say something similar: "You have lived here for a long time, how have you ever seen such an evil technique as killing people and sacrificing blood?"

The shadow demon smiled: "I don't understand the formation either, but after reaching the realm of transformation, my perception of the aura around me has become much stronger." At first, the wisps of aura continued, and in the past few days, it has become thicker and thicker, and it has become like a thick fog, and a little luck can fill the dantian. ”

"As soon as you arrived at Lingxiao Peak, the situation was immediately very different, coupled with the early maturity of the rice and the successive breakthroughs of those people, it was inferred that there must be such a formation in your sect. On the mountain now, only me and Gu Qianzhong have this realm, and the rest can't detect it yet. ”

"If you continue to destroy this formation with all your might, it will certainly be of great benefit to the cultivators of this sect, but the aura around Lingxiao will be greatly affected. Not only will it be coveted, but it will also offend the rest of the alliance, which is much more hateful to cultivators than plundering people's property. ”

Zhang Zhao grinned a little disbelievingly: "So serious?" Shadow Demon nodded his head: "Don't suffer from widowhood but suffer from unevenness, not to mention that this is the direction of the aura related to the prosperity and decline of countless sects." There is nothing wrong with having the ability to set up a spirit gathering array, but everything needs to be controlled, and endless crazy spirit gathering will only cause a monstrous disaster. ”

He moved his neck a few times, stretched his arms and looked at Zhang Zhao and smiled: "Originally, it wasn't my turn to meddle in things, but now my life is really comfortable, and I don't want to see this leisurely being ruined, so I have more words." Talk to the elders in the door, and they should understand. ”

After the shadow demon left, Zhang Zhao stood in the courtyard and breathed a few times, not noticing any difference from usual. He recalled the conversation between Zhuo Xuhan and Dao Tianya at the beginning, and felt that this matter was eighty percent true. Based on his understanding of Lingxiao, it was not that anyone did it intentionally, but everyone didn't know that this thing existed.

With the Lingxiao elders going through them one by one in his mind, Zhang Zhao felt that it was useless to ask anyone about the Spirit Gathering Formation. He glanced at the scorpion dragon beast standing still next to him, and he immediately had an idea.

"You're still used to living here, aren't you?Why haven't you seen you go drinking with my dad and them?" Yuan Bo stared intently at the scorpion dragon beast up and down for a while, and replied casually, "I don't like to drink." The Seven Star Rune Array has penetrated into the meridians in its body for a long time, and it is no abnormal, it seems that it has really been done. ”

"This big guy feeds you well, and even those old wounds have healed. Yuan Bo smiled and nodded with satisfaction in his heart: "Okay, since it's okay, I'll go back......"

Zhang Zhao hurriedly grabbed his arm: "Uncle Yuan, in fact, I still have something I want to ask, have you ever heard of the Spirit Gathering Formation?" Yuan Bo frowned: "The Spirit Gathering Formation?" Of course I have heard of it, but I will not arrange it. ”

"You won't, what can I do?" Seeing Zhang Zhao's sad face, Yuan Bo felt quite puzzled: "There are no more than three or five people in the entire Wuxuan who know the Spirit Gathering Formation, so I won't be anything unusual." ”

"What's more, although the Spirit Gathering Formation is extremely mysterious, it is very demanding on the terrain of the Five Elements. Unless it is supplemented by evil magic, it will not be able to be successfully arranged without two or three hundred years of repeated exploration and accumulation, and you will still die of this heart. ”

"Two or three hundred years, it takes so long to set up a formation?" Yuan Bo looked at Zhang Zhao and shook his head and smiled bitterly: "What do you think? If there is any change in the world, this life's work will be in vain. ”

"The Spirit Gathering Array is different from my seven-star rune array, this scorpion dragon beast can only transform immortal crystal accumulation through runes after eating a lot of meat, which is much worse than the mystical principle of balancing all kinds of spiritual energy in the Spirit Gathering Array. ”

Zhang Zhao hurriedly shook his hand: "Uncle Yuan, I'm not asking you to help set up the formation. He thought about it and asked cautiously again, "If I want to control a Spirit Gathering Formation, what should I do?"

Yuan Bo suddenly laughed: "Control the Spirit Gathering Array? There are indeed many naturally formed gathering places in heaven and earth, but who can perceive it? Only when they are gathered and formed in places that are extremely rich will they be discovered. ”

"In that kind of place, the growth of all things around it is uncontrolled, and it is not easy to condense into a crystal vein immortal yuan, and then the five elements will be unbalanced and will have no effect of gathering spirits, let alone any control methods. ”

Zhang Zhao remembered Dao Tianya's words: "A senior said to me that the Spirit Gathering Formation can nourish things with spirits, and the spirits can be transformed into spirits, and the spirits and things depend on each other and live endlessly. In this way, a blessed land is created over and over again......"

Uncle Yuan's face changed color: "These words were said by your seniors?" Zhang Zhao shook his head: "That's not it, it was said by a Taoist senior." ”

"Dao senior...... , is there still a descendant of the Taoist family alive?" Yuan Bo said to himself with surprise: "It should be, otherwise how would you understand the essence of the Spirit Gathering Formation." ”

"Although it is easy to nourish things with spirits, how can we achieve a balance between the five elements ......by cultivating things and transforming spirits? Or help one strong to carry the weak ......" Seeing that Uncle Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly and gradually became engrossed, Zhang Zhao hurriedly asked: "Uncle Yuan, if this kind of formation really exists, how can I control the strength of the spirit gathering?"

Yuan Bo waved his hand: "The formation is complete, and it is easy to control." All rune arrays have array eyes, no matter what kind of effect it is, the prosperity and decline of the spiritual objects placed at the array eye determines the power of the entire rune array. ”

"The seven-star rune array in your scorpion dragon beast's body has seven array eyes, if you put in not an immortal crystal but an immortal yuan, then its power will naturally become stronger and stronger, and the usual consumption will be greater. ”

After sending Uncle Yuan away, Zhang Zhao carefully recalled the scene after he entered the school. The Shadow Demon's reminder made him feel that this Gathering Spirit Array with an unknown location should have been effective recently, otherwise Lingxiao would have been the only one to support the overall situation for so many years.

Zhang Zhao's eyes suddenly froze, and he remembered that the only thing he had seen in the past few years that might have something to do with the talisman array was the sheepskin he had found on the mezzanine floor of the top of the Retirement Hall. But the second half of the words on the sheepskin is full of regret, and it is clear that it has not been completed.

After thinking about it, Zhang Zhao still planned to take another look. He hurried to the Retirement Hall, pushed open the door and followed the narrow staircase of the side hall all the way to the top of the hall, and as soon as he poked his head out, he was immediately deeply shocked by the scene in front of him.

The originally dim mezzanine was faintly lit at this time, and dense runes were spread out along the wooden planks on the roof of the hall, covering the entire Yangxian Hall, and there was a soft and warm yellow light in the center, which looked full of mystery.

Zhang Zhao walked slowly along the gap between the runes, carefully examining the area that he had never noticed before. When he walked to the place where the ancient lamp had been put that day, he looked at the yellow light and his whole body trembled.

The footsteps quickly retreated, Zhang Zhao hurriedly came down from the top of the Yangxian Hall, and pushed the door and rushed away without greeting the elders. Everyone in the hall was surprised when they saw his actions: "Zhang Zhao, what is this kid tossing?"

On the Lingxiao Hall, Changqing Zi was discussing with the cultivators of various sects in the Xuanmu Domain about resisting the beast tide, and looked up to see Zhang Zhaozheng hurriedly walking in from outside: "Zhang Zhao, you came just in time, and you know almost all of you...... fellow Daoists."

"I've seen all of you. Zhang Zhao bowed his hand, greeted him politely and walked in front of Chang Qingzi, and whispered directly in his ear: "Master, you come out with me." ”

Chang Qingzi was a little incomprehensible about his actions, and asked in a low voice: "What can't you wait? I still have guests...... Zhang Zhao took his arm and walked out: "Seniors, sit down for a while, and I will come when I go with the master." ”

"Haha...... , please, please, please. The elders in the hall who were familiar with Zhang Zhao laughed when they saw this scene: "Master Changqing, this kid must have known the news that those girls were coming, and wanted you to tell him about the family affairs you liked." ”

Chang Qingzi was puzzled, and was dragged by Zhang Zhao all the way to the front of the Yangxian Hall: "Zhang Zhao, you have to tell me, what are you doing here?" Zhang Zhao pulled him into the side hall and pointed to the ladder and said, "You go up and have a look first, I don't understand." ”

With a sigh, Chang Qingzi had no choice but to go up to the mezzanine floor of the top of the hall, and when he saw that scene, he first froze: "What is it? This is what you made?" He avoided the talisman on the soles of his feet under Zhang Zhao's signal, and walked to the bright light and squinted his eyes to look at it carefully.

The fairy crystal originally placed in the crystal lamp on the top of the hall was still there, and there was a cloud of yellow light floating above the ancient lamp, and two round yellow light beads of the same size were suspended in the soft light, which looked like two small moons.

"It's ...... , Xianyuan?" Chang Qingzi, who had always been calm in trouble, even trembled in his voice, and he looked at Zhang Zhao beside him with horror in his eyes: "How did you come here?" ”

Zhang Zhao talked about the matter of the Spirit Gathering Array, although Chang Qingzi didn't know the formation, he could understand the meaning after listening to it. When he talked about the Shadow Demon's aura gradually getting out of control, his face couldn't help but show deep concern.

"There was a vision when the ancient lantern was placed, and it was at that time that I thought that this Spirit Gathering Array happened to be launched. Zhang Zhao pointed to the two immortal yuan in the yellow light: "The disciple has listened to Yuan Bo's guidance, and after taking these two immortal yuan, the momentum of gathering spirits should be somewhat restrained." This matter is really important, so I asked the head to come over. ”

Chang Qingzi stabilized his mind: "Although I don't understand the mystery, I think what you said is very reasonable, so let's follow this method." Zhang Zhao immediately stretched out his hands together, reached into the yellow light, and took out the two immortal yuan pins in the palm of his hand.
