Chapter Twenty-Eight: Nine Absolute Old Men

But now that the night was over and dawn was approaching, Feng Ruo didn't have time to speculate even if he suspected that the strangeness of this place had something to do with the stars in the sky, so he asked for a place in the dilapidated building, meditated, and then waited for the night to come again.

When Feng Ruo opened his eyes again, he was still looking at the endless stars, but this time because he had doubts in his heart, he was watching more carefully.

However, it is not easy to find out the strangeness of this place from these countless stars, because if it is simple stargazing, it will definitely be overwhelming, not to mention that he has always known very little about such things!

But Feng Ruo has his own method, that is, to rely on the qi induction of the changes in the flow of heaven and earth yuan, if the strangeness of this place is really related to the stars, then the flow of heaven and earth yuan qi will inevitably leave a trace, and he only needs to follow this trace to check!

For more than an hour, Feng Ruo always maintained a posture, like a sculpture, but suddenly, his figure suddenly jumped up from the spot and rushed to a position dozens of feet away!

And after arriving here, he first quickly inserted the Ben Thunder Sword into this place, and then placed eight pieces of ink jade around the Ben Thunder Sword, and after doing these strange movements, he quickly drew the Ben Thunder Sword and rushed to another place dozens of zhang away, and then used the same method to arrange the eight pieces of ink jade again.

In just a few dozen breaths, Feng Ruo found eight hidden directions on this mountain cliff, and then used sixty-four pieces of ink jade to suppress them!

If these eight directions are connected, it just encloses the abandoned courtyard in the center!

"I see, the previous owner of this courtyard was quite scheming, deliberately building the bluestone wall to look like a formation, but in fact, the real arrangement is outside the wall, if there are outsiders coming, maybe it will be confused, but what does this arrangement want to hide?"

Feng Ruoli stood in the courtyard, frowning and thinking hard, just now he finally found the reason why the vitality of heaven and earth in this place is abnormal, that is, the original owner didn't know what to do under the eight directions where he just lived, and as a result, this courtyard would never want to be arranged into any formation, and this is the reason why this courtyard was abandoned.

Of course, now that Feng Ruo used sixty-four pieces of ink jade in those eight directions, then he would already be able to arrange the positive and negative formations normally, but he always felt that something was wrong, as if he had missed something!

"No matter, first arrange the positive and negative nine-star formations, and then say, your foundation building can't be delayed!"

Thinking like this, Feng Ruo temporarily gave up the idea of looking for the root, but at this time, he inadvertently looked up at the sky, but he was stunned, because in this moment, the stars on the canopy actually changed extremely strangely, and what was even more exaggerated was that there were nine more dazzling stars in this canopy, and these nine stars were running with each other in a very mysterious trajectory at the moment, and they corresponded to the courtyard where Feng Ruo was!

"Sure enough, the stars in this canopy are really all illusions, if I hadn't suppressed those eight directions, I'm afraid I would never be able to see the truth inside!"

After a period of shock, Feng Ruo also quickly calmed down, in fact, he had already been a little suspicious, because under the influence of the peak formation, the entire Jietian Peak has always been snowy, and there is no sunlight in the daylight, and there is no starlight in the night, but there is an incomparably clear starry sky in this place, if it is not an illusion, it is really unreasonable.

But this illusion is simply too real, even if you doubt it, you can't find a flaw, and there are not too many weirdness in this place except that you can't arrange the formation, and not many people can see through this game!

After staring at it for a long time, Feng Ruo matched the eight stars in the sky with the eight directions he had just found, but there was still one of the brightest stars left in the sky!

"Could it be that there is still one direction, but where is it? And if it is nine directions, it doesn't seem to be consistent with the various formations in the Immortal Cultivation Realm?"

Feng Ruo thought a little strangely, you must know that whether it is a positive and negative mountain formation, or a positive and negative nine-star formation, it has always been eight directions, and he has never seen a formation with nine directions! But then he thought of something!

"That's not right! The Nine Heavens Flowing Cloud Absolute Array is nine directions! The nine nine eighty-one giant swords correspond to nine directions, could it be said that the former owner of this courtyard is still a heart cultivator?"

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Feng Ruo immediately began to deduce the location of the ninth direction, he was almost certain that as long as he could find the ninth direction, something unexpected would definitely happen!

Although there are eight directions as a reference, it is still difficult for Feng Ruo to deduce, because the trajectory of the last bright star in the canopy is really incredible, even if it is connected with the other eight star dous, but at the same time, it is also quite readable!

Therefore, Feng Ruo had no choice but to deduce while scurrying around the courtyard, and after he almost deduced the range within a radius of nearly a thousand zhang, he deduced the general location of that direction somewhat vaguely!

"No, what the hell are you doing thousands of feet away!"

Feng Ruo really had a headache, the distance of thousands of zhang was of course nothing to him, but the problem was that he had to cross a cliff that was not known how deep, and that direction was on the other side of the cliff!

After confirming it again and again, Feng Ruo released the Thunder Sword and flew over tremblingly with the method of flying the sword, but fortunately, the cliff was only more than a hundred zhang wide, and there was no danger at all.

Coming to the top of this mountain, Feng Ruo didn't dare to slack off, and immediately began to look for it, because it wouldn't be long before dawn, and then he would have no way to find the ninth direction, and he still had a strange premonition in his heart, if he couldn't find this direction before dawn, he might never find it!

This small hill is actually very small, so small that people will ignore it even if they pass nearby, Feng Ruo has never noticed this place yesterday, if it weren't for the deduction along the way, he is sure that even if he lives on this mountain cliff for a hundred years, he will not notice here.

Of course, even with such a small mountain, it is very difficult to find the ninth direction accurately, and even if the small hill is completely cut off, it will have no effect.

But fortunately, Feng Ruo had roughly determined the direction before, and at this time, he deferred for a while, and finally found the ninth direction in an inconspicuous position on the mountain!

"Haha! This is it! I'd like to see what's weird here!"

Feng Ruo rushed up with an arrow, first inserted the Ben Thunder Sword, and then quickly took out eight lower-grade Five Element Stones and placed them around, because he no longer had ink jade in his hands, after all, he didn't expect that this Huangzi No. 19 courtyard actually had such an unbelievable formation!

After the arrangement was completed, Feng Ruo gritted his teeth, and decided to put this formation into operation, of course, this price was that he wasted eight lower-grade Five Element Stones, but now his heart was filled with curiosity, so no matter what mystery was hidden in this strange formation, no matter what mystery was hidden in this strange formation!

Directly a mana was shot out along the Ben Thunder Sword, and then injected into the eight lower-grade Five Element Stones in turn, and soon, these eight lower-grade Five Element Stones were activated one by one, and then all the essence was injected into the ground along the Ben Thunder Sword, and almost at the same time, the eight directions thousands of zhang away also flashed a ray of light.

After a few breaths of this light appeared, the nine bright stars in the canopy suddenly gathered together strangely, forming a huge fireball, and then shooting towards Feng Ruo's location like a meteor!

"Oops! What's going on?"

Seeing this scene, Feng Ruo was suddenly taken aback, could it be that he had touched something, if he was hit by this meteor, he would have to be stoned to death even if he had a hundred lives!

Without any hesitation, Feng Ruo didn't care about pulling out the thunder sword, turned around and ran, but until he ran out of more than ten zhang, he didn't find a violent bombardment sound, and under the curiosity in his heart, he couldn't help but look back, but he couldn't help but be stunned, because what other meteors were there?

Even the bright stars in the canopy disappeared, replaced by howling mountain winds and snow!

"This—this—can't it be said that the illusion has been shattered by itself?"

After a long time, Feng Ruo came back to his senses, knowing that a few moments ago, there was a quiet and starry sky within a few thousand zhang of this vicinity!

"It's a pity, I lost eight low-grade Five Element Stones for nothing, and the result was just that a fantasy was broken, this time the transaction is really a loss!"

Returning with some sighs, Feng Ruo casually wanted to pull out the Thunder Sword that was inserted in the ground, but the Thunder Sword seemed to be frozen on the ground, and it didn't move at all, he tried it again, but it still didn't move!

"Uh! I won't say that even this Thunder Sword has to be compensated, right?" Feng Ruo was in a hurry this time, directly urged the mana, and then exhaled and pulled it out hard, but what made him feel strange was that his strength of thousands of catties still couldn't make this Thunder Sword move the slightest!

"Damn! I'd like to see what's weird down here!"

Feng Ruo casually took out another four-grade sword weapon, and chiseled it here!

But to his surprise, the ice around the Ben Thunder Sword was not too strong, and he quickly dug a deep pit, only to find out that the Ben Thunder Sword was actually caught by a square and strange box, no wonder he couldn't pull it out.

Seeing this strange box at this time, Feng Ruo's heart suddenly felt excited, because in connection with the strange things before, he was almost certain that the owner of the courtyard who had arranged the strange formation wanted to hide this box in this way.

Without the slightest hesitation, Feng Ruo casually knocked off the Thunder Sword sandwiched on it, and then put the stone box into the storage belt, and then returned to the dilapidated courtyard thousands of zhang away.

Without rushing to open the strange box, Feng Ruo first arranged the positive and negative nine-star formations, cleaned up the entire courtyard and small building, and then meditated for two hours before taking out the box again.

The material of this box is very rough, the whole is black, and it looks as if it has not been polished in any way, but Feng Ruo can't tell what kind of material this thing belongs to, he can only guess that this thing is very hard, at least with the sharpness of the Ben Thunder Sword, it can't leave traces on it!

In addition, the switch of this box is also very simple, except that there is a simple lid on it, which looks like it can be opened casually!

"I hope there won't be any demons and monsters in there!"

Feng Ruo thought to himself, because he couldn't tell whether the strange formation before was suppressing this box or hiding it?

For the sake of caution, Feng Ruo still left a distance, and then opened the lid with the Ben Thunder Sword, but to his surprise, there were no demons and monsters jumping out of it, but there were no colorful treasures, only a piece of black jade slip in an inconspicuous corner!

"Uh! What does this mean? But black jade slips are rare in the immortal cultivation world!"

Feng Ruo casually picked up the inconspicuous black jade slip and input a trace of mana, but no words appeared on the jade slip as usual, but a somewhat vague voice sounded in his mind, and he couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman.

After listening to it for a long time, Feng Ruo's face became more and more strange, because according to the voice, the person who left this jade slip was a cultivator who claimed to be a Nine Absolute Old Man thousands of years ago, and at the same time, the courtyard and the strange formation here were also left by him, in addition, he also left a Nine Heavens Flowing Cloud Peerless Formation in the small valley of the Sword Mansion!

And this means that the master that the white-haired old man in the small valley of the Sword House said is this Nine Peerless Old Men!

However, the reason why these nine peerless old men made this kind of arrangement here was to select heirs.

Because according to the voice, the Nine Absolute Old Man once had five apprentices, but none of them were qualified to practice the Nine Heavens Flowing Cloud Absolute Array, but they just didn't realize this, and they racked their brains to get the cultivation method of the Nine Heavens Flowing Cloud Absolute Array.

When it was said that he was about to cross the tribulation and ascend, he didn't have time to find a suitable disciple again, but if he really handed over the Nine Heavens Flowing Cloud Absolute Formation to those five disciples, with their qualifications, even if they were not counterattacked, maybe they would go mad, which would harm them.

Therefore, it is precisely because of this that the Nine Absolute Old Man deliberately built a courtyard here, and then hid the mental formula for cultivating the Nine Heavens Flowing Cloud Absolute Formation in a strange formation, so that even if his five disciples dug this courtyard three feet into the ground, they would not be able to find that mental formula, because this formation was maintained by the stars in the canopy, if they couldn't find the exact direction, even if the entire mountain cliff was flattened, it would be useless!

And there is only one flaw in this formation, that is, it must be detected with a very keen qi machine sense, and to have such a keen qi machine sense, it can also meet the most basic conditions for cultivating the Nine Heavens Flowing Cloud Absolute Array!
