In the night, as a spiritual treasure exploded, a flash of inspiration appeared, illuminating half of the sky.

There was a loud roar, and then the whole ground shook, and all kinds of sounds mixed together, and the sky fell apart.

A hundred or so people rushed towards the hill quickly, as if they were afraid that they would be left behind.

It's obviously a small mountain, but everyone doesn't seem to be able to reach the top, and when they look up, the top of the mountain still keeps the same distance from them.

"Senior Brother Li, it seems that something is wrong." A disciple ran to Li Xiuping's side, his eyes looking at the top of the mountain, a little panting.

Li Xiuping nodded and said, "Stop for a moment." ”

The disciple shouted, "Wait a minute." ”

Everyone stopped, and gathered in this direction.

To be able to be selected by various sects and participate in this immortal ascension conference, no matter how poor the strength of the people present is, they are not ordinary people, and they can naturally feel the strangeness of this mountain.

A disciple of Jiuyuan Mountain said at this time: "There seems to be some kind of existence similar to the phantom array in this mountain, so if you want to reach the top of the mountain, I'm afraid it will not be so easy. ”

Li Xiuping didn't even fully understand the basic cultivation, let alone the formation, so naturally he didn't speak.

A disciple asked, "Then what should we do, if we continue like this, let alone two days, we are afraid that we will never reach the top of the mountain." ”

Another disciple said, "Since it is blocked by the formation, it is natural that the formation needs to be broken first. ”

The previous disciple of Jiuyuan Mountain said, "I'm afraid it's not so easy to break the formation. ”

Everyone was silent, thinking about coping strategies, and finally looked at the disciple of Jiuyuan Mountain.

Jiuyuan Mountain is the authentic sect of the Dao Sect, and it is the first sect in Yunzhou, the disciples of Jiuyuan Mountain are naturally highly respected outside, and now that they encounter obstacles that they cannot solve, they will naturally put their hopes on the disciples of Jiuyuan Mountain.

After thinking for a while, the Jiuyuan Mountain disciple spoke: "In this way, all those who understand the formation will stand up first, let's try to join forces to see if we can use the formation to break the formation, even if it doesn't work, we should be able to find the origin of this maze." Only by knowing the origin and function of this formation can we think of the corresponding method of breaking the formation. ”

Everyone nodded, and then those sect disciples who knew the formation stood up in turn, and there were as many as twenty-two or so.

"We all know some formations, and we all listen to Senior Brother Lu's orders."

Everyone said in unison.

The disciple of Jiuyuan Mountain surnamed Lu nodded, and said to Hou Yongping, who was in the same door: "Senior Brother Hou, you lead ten people to be in charge of the west, and I will lead ten people to be in charge of the east, form a large array of two yi, and use the operation of the formation to see if the formation here can be revealed." ”

Hou Yongping nodded, and led a dozen or so people towards the west, while briefly informing the Liangyi Great Array.

As the two sides were ready, the disciple of Jiuyuan Mountain gave an order, and the people on both sides formed seals at the same time, and then a breeze appeared out of thin air on the ground, and then everyone moved at the same time, each stepping on the formation eye, causing something similar to a Pisces diagram to appear in the field.

After this thing appeared, it slowly rotated, and the majestic and gentle power continued to spread out in all directions, causing ripples in the night.

There was a sudden muffled sound in the night sky, as if something had collided together, and then an invisible barrier was also directly revealed, and a golden rune flickered alternately, intertwining with each other, forming a huge rune that began over and over again.

Everyone looked at the huge rune at the moment, their brows furrowed.

"Senior Brother Lu, have you ever seen this formation?" Hou Yongping asked directly.

The Jiuyuan Mountain disciple surnamed Lu stared at the huge rune with his eyes and shook his head.

These people themselves have no formation attainments, and now although they have successfully launched the Liangyi Array of Jiuyuan Mountain, they can't hold on for too long at all, and they will be expelled by the formation one after another after a while.

As more and more people were expelled, the flickering runes slowly disappeared, and the surroundings quickly returned to their original shape, silent again.

Everyone stood still, unable to respond.

At this time, several disciples came running over out of breath, and one of them frowned and asked, "Why are you still here?" ”

Everyone looked back, and what they saw was a disciple of Huayang Sect, and the person who asked him was Xu Bansheng.

Li Xiuping glanced behind Xu Bansheng and the others, frowned, and said, "There is a maze set up in this mountain, and we can't pass through it at all." Why is Senior Brother Xu here? That mysterious beast was dealt with by you? ”

Xu Bansheng shook his head and said, "It's delayed for the time being, but it won't be for too long, so let's come over and take a look." ”

Xu Bansheng said, glanced left and right, and then said: "I have seen this formation in the library building, it is not a powerful formation, it only needs to be ......."

It should be that time is pressing, Xu Bansheng directly changed his words: "Forget it, I'll take you in." ”

So he walked straight ahead, but not in the direction of the top of the mountain, but took a few steps to the left, then a few steps down, then to the right, then up, and so on, towards the mountain.

Everyone was puzzled, and the disciple surnamed Lu from Jiuyuan Mountain said, "Follow him." ”

The rest of the people followed Xu Bansheng's pace, and after a while, everyone was surprised to find that the top of the mountain was getting closer and closer, not like before, no matter how they walked, the top of the mountain was always not far ahead.

Just when everyone was full of joy, Xu Bansheng in front of him suddenly stopped and shouted: "Retreat!" ”

As soon as the words fell, he flew straight backwards, and after landing on the ground, he almost lost his footing.

On the way forward for everyone, a huge stone pillar appeared out of thin air at this moment, blocking the entire mountain road.

Li Xiuping walked up to Xu Bansheng, looked at Xu Bansheng, whose face was slightly pale, and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

Xu Bansheng said bitterly: "I didn't expect more than one formation, it seems that this first round of assessment is not as easy as we imagined." ”

Hou Yongping said at this time: "We can break this formation, but we need a strong person to destroy those stone pillars." Not only do those who break the formation need to destroy the stone pillars that keep appearing, but they also need to walk according to our instructions, and if they take a wrong step, they are likely to be expelled and suffer heavy losses. ”

Countless people looked at each other, but no one took the initiative to stand up.

It's not that these disciples are afraid, but it is not easy to destroy those stone pillars, not only do you need to have strong strength, but you must also have enough strength to destroy those stone pillars.

"How much does it need to be destroyed?"

A voice sounded, and everyone followed the voice to see that it was Li Xiuping.

Hou Yongping frowned and said, "At least five." ”

If you want to say which of these people has the ability to destroy those stone pillars, I'm afraid only Li Xiuping is the only one.

Although there are a lot of disciples who have gone up the mountain this time, the strongest ones are only in the late stage of foundation building, but even in the late stage of foundation building, at most they can only destroy two stone pillars, and then they will face the end of physical exhaustion, and then they will be expelled from the formation.

But Li Xiuping's ability Hou Yongping has seen it with his own eyes, because even a monk in the middle stage of foundation building can't withstand Li Xiuping's knife at all, and the spiritual treasure of a previous foundation building disciple was even directly split in half by Li Xiuping with that firewood knife.

Regarding Li Xiuping's firewood knife, Hou Yongping has actually been very curious, but it is not good to take it from Li Xiuping's hand to study, and he has been thinking about it until now.

Li Xiuping thought about it in his heart and said, "I can try." ”

Hou Yongping nodded and said, "I will guide you outside in a while, you must do what I say, if not, quit immediately." ”

Li Xiuping nodded and walked forward with a firewood knife.

It was only when he walked to the place where Xu Bansheng had been repelled before he stopped.

Li Xiuping glanced back at Hou Yongping, and Hou Yongping said: "Take seven steps forward, pay attention to dodging the attack of the stone pillar, and then attack the first stone pillar that appears on the right, be sure to destroy it!" ”

Li Xiuping nodded, his feet suddenly exerted force, and his body rushed directly forward.

Li Xiuping's body moved, and on the originally empty ground, countless stone pillars suddenly appeared and collided with Li Xiuping.

Li Xiuping didn't pay attention to these stone pillars at all, kept dodging, and soon walked out of the distance of seven steps, and then two stone pillars appeared on the left and right sides at the same time, colliding towards Li Xiuping.

In this case, Li Xiuping had nowhere to hide at all, and without any hesitation, he used the firewood knife in his hand to pull the sword intent in his body, and swung it directly towards the stone pillar on the right.

The sword qi was vertical and horizontal, and the stone pillar on the right was directly split by Li Xiuping with a knife, and then the entire stone pillar exploded directly.

The stone pillar on the left was still crashing towards Li Xiuping.

"To the right, destroy the fourth pillar that appears in front of you and keep going." At the same time, Hou Yongping's voice remembered.

Li Xiuping raised his hand and pressed on the stone pillar on the left, with the help of the power of the impact of the stone pillar, swept out to the right, and then used his body technique to the extreme, constantly dodging those stone pillars that appeared out of thin air, and after the fourth pillar appeared, Li Xiuping swung a knife again.

Before the fourth pillar could fully emerge, it exploded in an instant, and the dust was so thick that people outside couldn't see the situation inside.

"Onward, destroy the sixth pillar." Hou Yongping's voice sounded.

Everyone's eyes were all staring at the field, and no one noticed that Hou Yongping was sweating profusely at the moment, but a pair of eyes were staring at the stone pillars that had been appearing in the field at this moment, and they didn't even dare to blink their eyes.

In the dust, Li Xiuping followed Hou Yongping's guidance, and urged the sword intent in his body again and again, destroying all the stone pillars that Hou Yongping said.

When the fifth stone pillar was built, Li Xiuping already felt a little physically exhausted, but he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he finally destroyed the fifth stone pillar.

However, those stone pillars did not stop attacking, and one of the stone pillars directly hit Li Xiuping head-on.

Li Xiuping, who didn't have time to react, was hit by this stone pillar in an instant, as if he was hit by a heavy hammer, his body flew out directly backwards, and those stone pillars along the way were constantly smashed by Li Xiuping's body.

But even with the resistance of those stone pillars, it still couldn't offset the huge power on his body, and blood continued to spill out of his mouth and nose.
