0921 Ascend to the main peak
The exploration of the left peak in the back section of the ruins ended uneventfully. The monks and Lin Chen gained a lot on the left peak. However, the items that appear on the left peak are basically general items that are applicable to the foundation building period. For Qi Refining Stage cultivators, these items were certainly of great value. But at the level of the foundation building period, these items can only be regarded as average.
There was nothing on the left peak that could be called a treasure. Lin Chen therefore did not use the right of first refusal.
The monks and Lin Chen kindly divided the harvest on the left peak. After retreating to the back section.asxs., they followed the changed plan and headed towards the main peak.
Kang Chong's prediction of the number of blocking formations in advance was not wrong. On the stone road leading to the top of the mountain from the back section of .asxs., there were indeed four samadhi fire formations.
The monks used the lives of more than 1.1 million ordinary earthlings to 'annihilate' these four powerful formations. In the process of millions of lives, the scene looks unmistakable. However, Lin Chen keenly discovered through the scanning of the power of the world that the black qi on the bodies of the six monks rose up that was invisible to the naked eye. The black qi that enveloped Kang Chong was almost condensed into substance. The black aura on the other monks also lingered.
Lin Chen immediately understood that this was probably the 'sin qi' that Heavenly Dao had sent down to these monks.
He scanned himself and found that he had the same black qi on his body. It's just that the black qi on his body is not as thick as that on the monks.
And except for the soldiers of the Pig City, the masters in the other teams only have an extremely weak layer.
Lin Chen felt that this was reasonable. So far, nearly two million ordinary people have died as a result of the sacrifice. The six monks and Lin Chen had benefited, and then these sins would be shared among each of them accordingly.
Seeing that the last formation on the road was about to be broken, and the tall and majestic palace was already within reach, Lin Chen's heart suddenly moved.
"Senior Sister Chunniang, so many people have died now. According to you, this is a great sin. We didn't kill those people directly, but we were the beneficiaries of their deaths. Do you think the way of heaven will bring sin on us? Lin Chen pretended to be worried and asked Chun Niang.
"Yo, Senior Brother Lin, your mind is very flexible, you can actually think of this layer. But your concerns do have a point. Whether or not we killed these people, it is an indisputable fact that we have received great benefits from their deaths. Heaven is the most just, and it will naturally make us bear a part of our sins. Of course, the main sin was borne by Senior Brother Kang and the army of Zhizhi City. If you have to quantify the sins, Senior Brother Kang and the Pig City will bear more than 80 percent, and we five monks plus you will need to bear about 20 percent. Chun Niang said with a smile indifferently.
"Senior Sister Chunniang, I heard that the more sins a person bears, the greater the impact on his cultivation. Why don't you seem to care too much? Lin Chen asked suspiciously.
"Senior Brother Lin, we really don't need to worry about it for the time being. Senior Brother Kang is because of the special exercises, and the Heavenly Dao seems to have a relatively high tolerance for those who cultivate the Evil Dao and the Demon Dao. And we don't worry because we can find a way to reduce sin before it affects our cultivation. Chun Niang said.
"Can sin be parished? May I ask Senior Sister Chun Niang, how should the sins be reduced? Lin Chen hurriedly asked.
"It's simple. The best thing to do is to do good deeds that are in line with the heart of Heaven on a regular basis. In this way, you can get heavenly merits. The corresponding merit can offset a certain number of sins. The quickest way is to find a Buddhist sect and ask a Buddhist monk to pray for you. That is, if you do nothing, as long as your sins do not continue to increase for a certain period of time,
The sins of the body will also be slowly diminished. Chun Niang said.
"Oh, that's right." Lin Chen nodded thoughtfully.
In this way, Lin Chen will also be relieved. Since merit can offset sins, then he has a lot of merit. When he was cultivating the true world, he had been refined by the light of merit twice in a row.
So Lin Chen once again used the power of the world to scan the state of his solitary state. Sure enough, he found that the black qi on his body was dissipating. The speed at which the black qi on his body dissipated was more than a hundred times faster than that of several other monks.
Lin Chen was in a good mood all of a sudden.
As he spoke, the last formation in the middle lane was shattered. The most valuable main peak in the ruins of Ziyun Mountain was finally unveiled by this group of visitors.
There are not many buildings on the main peak, and there are more than a dozen tall and majestic palaces scattered on the ground. There is a huge plaque above the gates of each palace. The plaque has large gilt letters, indicating the purpose of the palace.
The six otherworldly monks recognized all the large letters on the plaques at once.
"Treasure Hall!"
"Elixir Hall"
"Spirit Beast Hall"
......
"The Pavilion of the Scriptures"
"Refining Room"
......
Cries of joy rang out from the lips of the monks.
In the end, the eyes of the six monks were firmly fixed on a particularly majestic and tall palace at the top of the upper peak.
That palace looks almost identical to the other palaces in appearance. But it feels completely different. The other palaces have gone through 10,000 years and look somewhat dilapidated and old. But the palace at the top looked like it had just been built.
Of course, it can't have just been built. The fact that it can maintain this state only shows that its building materials are very ordinary, and its protective formation is also extremely strong. This is what will make it look new and new after 10,000 years.
Also, the palace at the top seemed to exude an inexplicable majesty. The first time the monk saw the palace, he felt as if he had seen a reckless beast, and his heart was involuntarily tightened. After a few more glances, I felt that I wanted to bow down to that palace.
The monks looked at it a few more times, and they felt unbearable. They either quickly looked away, or they could use their skills to activate their defenses or use defensive magic weapons before they could continue to observe.
The monks all felt this way, and the performance of the earth masters was even more unbearable. Most of the Earth masters didn't dare to take a second look at the palace after one glance. A few even knelt down in front of the palace at the first glance.
Among the people present, only Lin Chen was not affected by the momentum of the palace. The power of the seed world shrouded Lin Chen at any time. The power of the world has an insulating effect on the momentum of nothingness.
However, Lin Chen didn't show too much of it. When he saw the other palaces, he turned his head in amusement and stopped looking at the palace at the top.
When the monks observed the palace at the highest point, each of them had a look of ecstasy on their faces.
After a while, Wang Yuan couldn't suppress the joy in his heart and finally spoke.
"Jindan period! It was definitely the abode of the Jindan monks! Wang Yuan muttered to himself.
"Indeed, that is the Jindan monk
of the abode. Only the Dan Qi of the Jindan period monks can not be dispersed for ten thousand years. Only Dan Qi can inflict such a huge spiritual deterrent effect on us. Lan Ling'er also nodded and said.
The other monks nodded in agreement.
"I just don't know what the difficulty level of that palace's protective formation is? If it's too difficult, I don't know if Senior Brother Lin's array can still come in handy? "The mood of Chang Sheng is the most calm. He glanced at the palace again and said worriedly.
The monks' faces suddenly fell. Chang Sheng expressed their biggest fear. Since the palace is a palace in the Jindan period, the protective formation of the palace is basically impossible to be an eighth-level formation. That formation would definitely be a seventh-level formation.
If they didn't use props such as Formation Breaking Talismans or Lin Chen's array disk, they wouldn't even be able to crack the general eighth-level formation. And in the face of the seventh-level formation, even if they use up the array-breaking props on their bodies, I am afraid they will not be able to do anything.
Now they could only pin all their hopes on Lin Chen's array.
However, Lin Chen's array was already a little difficult when he broke through the rank Samadhi and left the fire array. So whether the array disc can still suppress and reduce the seventh-level formation really needs to draw a big question mark.
There is also the most fatal problem, even if Lin Chen's array disk can suppress and reduce the seventh-level formation, it will inevitably require the array disk to run at full strength. Whether the top-grade spirit stones in that array can last until the formation is broken is also a huge question.
With so many uncertainties, the monks certainly dare not be blindly optimistic. They were afraid that they would end up with empty joy.
For this palace where the monks of the Jindan period lived, it can be said that even if this palace is placed in the cultivation realm, it can be regarded as a small value. Although the Jindan stage realm is still in the early stages of the entire path, the Jindan stage monks are already a solid foundation in the middle sects, and they are also the pillars of optimus in the small sects.
When in the cultivation realm, even if it was to explore the relics of the foundation building period monks, it was generally not the turn of the Qi refining period monks to participate. Not to mention exploring the Jindan period ruins of the cave house.
The six monks were now able to explore the abode of a Jindan monk without hindrance, and they simply did not know how many lifetimes it would take to cultivate.
If this blessing is missed, I am afraid that it will become a lifelong demon in the hearts of each of them.
"Guys, how do we get started? Do you explore the past side by side, or do you go straight to the point? Wang Yuan pointed to the dozen or so palaces in front of him, and then pointed to the palace at the highest point and said.
All the monks looked at the palace of the Jindan period and thought seriously. Whether or not to explore the Jindan period palace first is really a very real question.
According to the monks' usual practice, they must have explored the Jindan period palace first. Because no matter how many items are in the foundation building period, they may not be as valuable as any item in the Jindan period. But if they explored the Jindan Palace first, they had to face an embarrassing problem. The problem was that they didn't know if Lin Chen's array could play a role in the seventh-level formation. Even if it works, can the top-grade spirit stones in the array persist until the formation is broken?
If the top-grade spirit stones are exhausted and the seventh-level formation has not been broken, then they may not even be able to open a few other halls. That's the standard bamboo basket for water.
And if you explore the following dozen halls first, with the consumption of the best spirit stones, the possibility of being able to open the Jindan period palace in the future will continue to decline.
Either way, it's a tough question.
The monks fell into a deep silence for a moment.
