141 Locks
Penglai Xiandao this night is destined not to be peaceful.
As the dazzling mana light shone brightly, the night above the island was rendered as bright as day, and the monks in the city were all alarmed, and they all looked into the depths of the island, their eyes showing horror.
Most of them don't know what's going on.
I just faintly saw the blood clouds rolling in the sky, and in the night wind, there were the roars of demon beasts and the screams of the monks, which came one after another.
And in the depths of the blood-colored mountains and forests, there are even more mana beams visible to the naked eye, colliding and annihilating, all kinds of magic weapons flying, and spell brilliance blooming, which is the strong man of the foundation building realm fighting, and its momentum is shaking the heavens and the earth.
Even some towns in the coastal areas can see the vision from afar.
This fierce battle lasted until noon the next day.
When the turmoil subsided, everyone saw several figures flying back from the depths of the island, and after a few hours, a few more scattered cultivators returned in embarrassment, and from their mouths, the others knew what had happened last night.
The Blue Blood Dao people of the Blood Demon Sect in Middle Earth used the thousand-year-old spirit bead as bait to attract a group of scattered cultivators to fight for it, but secretly blocked it with the Blood Sacrifice Great Array, so as to capture and capture the Blood Jade Spirit Turtle hidden on the island.
Fortunately, the master of Yunyang Sect got the news in time and rushed to the battlefield.
After a bloody battle, three foundation building powerhouses were dispatched, and after a bloody battle, they successfully bombarded the Blue Blood Dao people, and saved the few remaining scattered cultivators from the mouth of the octopus demon beast.
In the end, that rare blood jade spirit turtle was captured and refined by the masters of the Yunyang Sect and brought back to the sect.
And the thousand-year-old spirit bead that caused all the scattered cultivators to scramble for it was taken away by a mysterious person in the great war, and it was missing.
Penglai Immortal Island has been open for many years, and there has never been such a vicious incident, nearly one-third of the scattered cultivators have died as a result, after Penglai Immortal Sect learned the news, he immediately sent a number of masters to sit in the town, which made the remaining scattered cultivators feel at ease, and the next immortal ascension conference was successfully held.
But.
Because of the battle for the thousand-year-old spirit bead, many powerful loose cultivators fell and died because of this, and the strength of the remaining people was obviously much weaker.
This Immortal Ascension Conference is also a little easier than previous editions.
Zhou Yi took advantage of this opportunity and seized the opportunity.
In the end, with the eighth place, he narrowly passed the second round of assessment and was qualified to pass the teleportation array.
Not only that, because he was relatively young, and he practiced pure Daomen mental method, he had a solid foundation, and he was finally valued by the "Seven Xuanmen" and got the opportunity to worship the Immortal Sect.
As for the seven sons of Sunflower under his seat, because of their lack of strength, in the process of competition, they lost two people, and in the end, no one succeeded in winning the top ten.
But after this battle, there are also a lot of gains.
Among them, the little girl named "Ah Xiu" is the youngest, if she cultivates well and waits until the next immortal ascension conference opens, maybe there will be a chance.
Su Chen obtained all this news through dreams and communicating with Zhou Yi.
After that night, he left Penglai Xiandao and hid on a hidden desert island in the East China Sea.
After all, the thousand-year-old spirit bead is on him, so he can't just show his head to prevent being targeted.
It wasn't until he learned that the Blue Blood Daoist had died under the siege of the masters of the Yunyang Sect that Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief and secretly said that he would die.
Now that the Blue Blood Daoist and his apprentice Zhao Yu have returned to the Western Heavens, he has no worries, and the Immortal Ascension Order in his hand can also be used at any time.
Of course.
Su Chen didn't plan to use it now.
Because he still does not know the exact situation in Middle-earth, the information he knows from other people's mouths, even if he adds some records of Middle-earth, is not enough to be convinced.
Therefore, he still decided to follow the original plan and let Zhou Yi take the lead and go to Middle-earth to explore the way for himself.
Anyway, he had now obtained the thousand-year-old spirit bead, and the aura contained in it was enough for him to slowly cultivate for a long time.
As long as you find a good place, close and isolated, and don't absorb the aura from the outside, you can also prevent your mana from escaping to a large extent, and you won't delay your cultivation.
It's only been sixty years.
Wait until the next time Penglai Immortal Island is opened, everything is arranged, and you can have stronger strength, and you can also have a certain amount of self-protection when you go to Middle-earth.
"The Seven Xuanmen, I've heard of some of them, and they can be regarded as famous and decent families in Middle-earth, and they seem to have some connections with the Daomen. Since you are practicing the Taoist method, it is also appropriate to go to the Seven Xuanmen, and you may be able to achieve some good results! ”
In the dream, Su Chen's figure fluttered, like a fog.
Not far in front of him, Zhou Yi stood with his bow, with a little expectation and yearning for the immortal cultivation world in his expression, as well as a little gratitude and reluctance.
He bowed slightly, bowed to Su Chen, and said sincerely: "If there is no immortal master to take care of the cultivation, the disciple is just a wandering beggar, maybe he will starve to death long ago." It was the immortal master who saved my life, gave me a home, and also preached and taught me, leading me to step into the path of cultivation. This is sixty years to go to Middle-earth...... Immortal Master, the disciple is reluctant to ...... you"
Of course, Zhou Yi would not know that Su Chen could live forever.
In his opinion, Su Chen's age was already very old, at least more than a hundred years old, and in a place like the Southwest Land, where spiritual energy was scarce, it was almost impossible for a strong person above the foundation realm to appear.
Sixty years later, Su Chen would probably have died long ago.
This parting may be forever.
"Life and death are all days, so why be sentimental? If he is destined to meet again, you and I will meet again. ”
Su Chen waved his hand.
There is no excessive emotion of anything.
Then he looked at Zhou Yi below, and said seriously: "This seat has its own reasons, I can't go to Middle-earth for the time being, but I have long longed for that side of the world." At my age, I'm afraid I may not be able to survive until the next time the fairy island opens, so there is indeed one thing I need to ask you for in this seat. ”
"What is the immortal master, what are the orders, just say, Zhou Yi will not give up."
"You, don't move, you're dead, you're dead, it's unlucky."
Su Chen shook his head, and then said, "Middle Earth is too far away from here, and there is no endless sea in the middle, and it is almost difficult to transmit information. However, there is a way to dream in this seat, as long as you are willing to let me inject a brand into your soul, then even if I am thousands of miles apart, I can still meet you in my dreams and communicate with each other. ”
This is Su Chen's previous mention of Begonia, and he comprehended the skills from the Great Dream Heart Sutra.
As long as the other party voluntarily accepts the imprint of the divine soul, it is equivalent to establishing a contractual relationship, and at that time, they can communicate through the dream space, regardless of distance.
Of course.
This kind of communication will be extremely depleting of divine thoughts.
Even if Su Chen's current divine thought strength is used, it is estimated that it will take a long time to recover after using it once.
But that's the only way he can get his hands on it at the moment.
At the beginning, the Blue Blood Daoist had the means to communicate with the green robe remotely, but unfortunately, he didn't get it from the green robe, and the Blue Blood Daoist was dead, and there was no way to trace it.
Those immortal cultivation sects in Middle-earth have special secret methods to transmit them, but they are all secrets that others do not pass on, and he can't hear about them.
Falling asleep is the easiest and most convenient way.
It's just that ordinary people will never agree to this request, because planting the other party's divine thought brand in their own soul is tantamount to handing over their wealth and life to others, and they can't have any selfishness and betrayal, and they will be at the mercy of others for the rest of their lives.
To be honest, Su Chen wasn't sure if Zhou Yi would agree.
After all, now that he has obtained the permission to pass through the teleportation array, he is also valued by the Immortal Cultivation Sect, and he has a great future.
Even if there is some change in mentality, it is normal.
But what he didn't expect was this.
After listening to this request, Zhou Yi almost didn't hesitate and directly let go of his mind.
"Everything I have is given by the immortal master, and I am loyal to the immortal master. It is also my honor to meet the immortal master in my dreams in the future! ”
"Good. This seat is not wrong. ”
Su Chen nodded with satisfaction.
Immediately raised his hand, and a divine thought light was differentiated, and then it disappeared into Zhou Yi's eyebrows, and then disappeared.
"The seal is complete. When you need it, we will come and see you. ”
Su Chen withdrew his hand, and then admonished: "Middle-earth, after all, is different from our southwest, where there are masters like clouds and strong strength, you must be low-key and careful, and have a long mind in everything." ”
"Follow the teachings of the Immortal Master!"
Su Chen then explained to him about the follow-up arrangements of Sunflower Villa.
The two agreed that after sixty years, when Penglai Immortal Island opened again, Zhou Yiding would find a way to come back in person to welcome the immortal master into Middle-earth.
However, Su Chen was already ready.
Sixty years later, even if he were going to Middle-earth, he would definitely change his identity.
After dealing with these things, he withdrew from Zhou Yi's dream world.
At this time.
In the Dream Tower, Begonia's figure immediately emerged, and in her hands, the divine thought brilliance condensed into something similar to a formation drawing, on which were engraved several mysterious and strange formation inscriptions.
"This is the Locking Spirit Array you want. I haven't studied much formations, and the only thing I can remember is this most basic formation. I don't know if it's useful? ”
She seemed a little embarrassed.
"Enough, enough."
Su Chen replied again and again.
After all, his current cultivation is still low, and if the other party really wants to come up with any top-level formation, he can't control the layout at all.
This primary spirit locking array is a formation that can isolate and block the spiritual energy, and it is generally used to seal certain demon beasts, but Su Chen has great use.
He wanted to use this formation to solve the problem that the mana would escape after the sixth layer of qi refining.
"I owe you a favor this time."
"No, just get a few more books next time."
"Okay."
As he spoke, Su Chen had already withdrawn from the dream space.
For the next period of time, Su Chen still didn't rush to leave, so he stayed on the desert island and practiced the two magic weapons left by Zhao Yu.
Then he waited quietly.
A month later, with a loud bang, the entire East China Sea shook, and the waves were monstrous, and the dazzling light shone in all directions.
Huge pillars of light rose into the sky.
The teleportation array on the island activated, involving all the disciples of Middle-earth and the scattered cultivators who were lucky enough to obtain the teleportation qualification, and then disappeared into the distant sea.
Followed by.
The rest of the cultivators reluctantly flew out of the island.
I saw the surrounding sea waves rolling, turning into a huge whirlpool, and finally engulfing the fairy island and sinking into the depths of the East China Sea.
"Finally, it's over."
Su Chen raised his head and watched the brilliance of the mana scatter away, and then he was truly relieved.
After everyone had left, he set off, riding the clouds and mist, all the way to the west.
Su Chen did not return to Chu State, nor did he go to the cave mansion of Tianmai Mountain.
His current cultivation has almost reached the limit of this heaven and earth, because the aura is too thin, and if he cultivates normally, a lot of mana will escape every moment and return to the heavens and the earth.
Therefore, Su Chen thought of a way.
He wanted to do the opposite, find a badland where the spiritual energy was completely depleted, and then lay down the Soul Locking Formation to completely seal it off.
In this way, the aura from the outside will not be able to enter, and the mana will not escape from itself.
At this time, refining the rich aura contained in the thousand-year-old spirit bead should be enough for one's own cultivation for a long time.
Su Chen went all the way to the west, and three months later, he had already left the scope of the Chu State and came to the wild land of the West.
There is no concept of a state here, but there are countless primitive tribes that fight each other.
Su Chen was not interested in having too much intersection with these primitive people.
He continued westward, searching for a suitable place to retreat.
Finally, a year later, Su Chen discovered a Jedi, which is said to be the remains of an ancient battlefield, known to the locals as the Valley of Death.
In the black-brown soil, there are still ancient dead souls, so that this valley, not a single grass, let alone aura, is completely a truly vicious Jedi.
Su Chen found a lot of wandering lonely ghosts here, which were indeed fatal to ordinary people.
However, having cultivated the idea of the sun view, coupled with the strength of his divine thoughts, he is simply the nemesis of ghosts and ghosts.
Ordinary ghosts are basically extinguished with a raised hand, plus the Yin Suppression Talisman and the True Spirit Talisman, those lonely souls and wild ghosts dare not face them at all.
Of course, for the sake of safety, Su Chen also spent almost half a year exploring this area.
After making sure that there was nothing that could threaten him, he decided to place the Locking Spirit Array here.
In the valley, he found a temple altar used to worship the souls of the dead, and with this as the center, he used the Bagua Array Plate to beat twenty-seven pieces of silver engraved with the inscription of the Locking Spirit Array into the surrounding mountains and rocks.
Immediately, the wind and thunder seal and the glaucoma mirror were sacrificed.
This absorbs the power of the sun's glow and wind and thunder, completely encloses and isolates this area, and serves as a power source to maintain the operation of the formation.
After doing this, Su Chen took out the thousand-year-old spirit bead and threw it up.
The spirit bead hovered above the head, emitting a surging silver light, which immediately dispersed all the dead qi around it, and the spiritual energy quickly filled this square inch, but because of the existence of the lock spirit array, these spiritual qi would not escape to the outside world, and only flowed in this area.
Su Chen took a deep breath.
The aura is abundant, pure and gentle, and it is not much better than the concentration of aura on Penglai Immortal Island.
He tried to run the exercises, and the mana in his body increased slightly.
The escape of mana has indeed been effectively curbed.
"Seems to work!"
Su Chen nodded with satisfaction.
His own method worked, and next, he only needs to retreat here, the power of the thousand-year-old spirit bead is enough for him to consume for a long, long time.
After all, the exercises he cultivated were mainly to absorb the power of the sun's brilliance and luck, and the consumption of spiritual energy was not large.
This thousand-year-old spirit bead is enough for him to hold on until the next Penglai Immortal Island is opened.
