Chapter 599: Sealing the Yuan Array
Following Fengguan Shao's team, Li Yuan traveled in the vast mountains for several days.
Along the way, they encountered several waves of small beast tides, and they were in danger.
Fortunately, the strongest demon beast in these beast tides was only in the middle of the fifth level.
If they encounter a more powerful being, they may have to flee in a hurry.
A few days of travel, if the aircraft flies, it will only take a few hours to reach the destination.
However, at this moment, they can only keep their feet on the ground and move forward step by step.
They must be careful to avoid clashes with other forces, and at the same time be on the lookout for ferocious birds.
To make matters worse, the threat of flying thieves is always with us.
Those guys are by no means comparable to the Crazy Knife Sect, Li Yuan has already seen the strength of the Mo Yan.
In the final analysis, everything depends on strength.
With Li Yuan's cultivation at the peak of the middle stage of the Yuan Shen Realm now, although it is enough to protect himself, in the face of those more powerful forces, he can only temporarily avoid the edge.
Finally, at dusk, countless ruined buildings were gradually revealed in the depths of the mountain forest.
These buildings have long been eroded beyond recognition by the wind and frost of time, covered with thick moss and vines, buried under towering ancient trees, difficult for outsiders to find.
Li Yuan looked at the ruins in front of him, and couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of vicissitudes in his heart.
These buildings have gone through the baptism of many years, and they may have been glorious for a while, but now they are only left with broken walls, silently telling the glory of the past.
"Are we there?" Li Yuan withdrew his gaze from the barren ruins in front of him and asked.
"This is only the periphery of the city where the Jinglan Feng clan is located, and the real ruins still need to be deepened." Shao Chong explained in a deep voice.
As they continued on their way, two teams appeared not far away, significantly outnumbered them.
"It seems to be the people of the Heling Cui clan and the Eunyu Lu clan." Shao Chun observed carefully and reminded.
These days, through Shao Xiting's detailed explanation, Li Yuan has a clearer understanding of the family power in the Wenhe River Basin.
The seventy-fifth-ranked Heling Cui clan and the seventy-second-ranked Enyu Lu clan, the location of the two major families is not far from here.
They are well-known in this area, and they are the highest-ranked families that Li Yuan has heard of during this time.
"Ignore it, let's move on." Shao Chong waved his hand to signal the team to move on.
After passing through the ruined city for more than half an hour, a mountain col surrounded by huge peaks came into view.
In the col, there was a faint light, like a huge transparent water ball, enveloping the entire area of the col for dozens of miles.
Inside the light mask, the antique pavilions and palaces loomed, as if traveling through time and space, back to the ancient times.
The buildings are well preserved and have not been eroded by the years in the slightest.
But every detail reveals the traces of time.
Li Yuan and the others stood outside the light mask, looking at the scene in front of them, with indescribable shock in their eyes.
"That's where the Jinglan Feng Clan ruins are." Shao Chong's eyes were burning, staring at the huge light shield in the mountain col, and his excitement was overflowing.
"Looking at the integrity of the array, I'm afraid we have to wait until the top Heavenly King powerhouses of the major forces gather before we can break the array together."
Hearing this, Li Yuan nodded.
He carefully observed the light mask, although this formation was smaller than the sea of thunderclouds, I don't know how many times, but the defensive ability was much stronger.
Moreover, there are many complex Yuan arrays in it, and there seems to be a sealed Yuan Array, like a sealed gate, guarding the secrets in the depths of the ruins.
Li Yuan felt that the pavilion palace inside the light mask was not completely real, but more like a phantom of the past.
Under the reflection of the light mask, it presents a hazy and mysterious beauty.
The sheer size and complexity of the entire array made Li Yuan breathtaking.
Even the formation on the Emperor Xuanyuan Boat was much inferior to it.
With his current ability, it is not easy to break through a hole that can be entered.
And even if it succeeds, it will only last for a moment.
Now only by waiting for the arrival of the powerhouses of the major forces and cracking the array together can we uncover the mystery of the Jinglan Feng clan ruins and explore the endless treasures in them.
"Let's go, there are already many forces gathered there, waiting for it."
Shao Chong looked up at the stars in the sky, then glanced at the firelight jumping outside the mask and on the giant peaks around him, and said with a smile.
Those fires are the camps of the great powers, like stars in the night sky, dotted with ancient and mysterious mountain passes.
Some forces may have been waiting for dozens of days.
Li Yuan roughly estimated that there were at least fifty or sixty large and small forces gathered here.
This number will continue to climb as more forces arrive.
Obviously, the treasure left behind by a once big family has an irresistible allure for many forces.
Fengguan Shao's team, led by Shao Chong, walked all the way towards the mountain col where the faint light mask was located.
They walked through the ruins, over the rugged mountain road, and finally came to an unoccupied pinnacle.
It's still some distance from the reticle, but the field of view is excellent, so you can see what's going on around you at a glance.
The people and horses of the Fengguan Shaw Clan set up camp here, busy and orderly.
They set up tents, lit bonfires, and waited for the array to break.
The area around the col is bustling with activity, and the camps of the major forces are dotted around, the fire is bright, and the people are boiling.
The arrival of Fengguan Shaw did not attract too much attention.
It didn't take long for the Heling Cui clan and the Enyu Lu clan teams they had met before to arrive one after another.
The arrival of these two teams has added a bit of excitement and tension to this mountain col.
β¦β¦β¦
Day 3.
When the morning light sprinkled into the col like a golden thread, there was a sudden sound of wind breaking through the sky.
The majestic aura of the Dao Dao came like a wave and swept through the entire area.
The primordials of all the forces jumped out of their respective camps one after another, their faces filled with excitement.
"The top Heavenly King powerhouse of all parties has arrived."
In the sky, figures fell into different areas like meteors.
On the stone peak where the Fengguan Shaw Clan is located, there are also three other Heavenly King powerhouses.
The leader is an old woman with a smile on her face and deep eyes.
Behind her stood two old men, although they were old, their momentum was still majestic, like two majestic peaks.
"You are Li Yuan of the Li clan in Longyang."
The old woman walked up to Li Yuan, and her voice was gentle and powerful.
Li Yuan's heart froze, and he hurriedly replied, "Yes, Elder Fengmei." β
In front of this powerhouse at the peak of the late stage of the Yuan Shen Realm, he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.
Through Shao Tingting's introduction before, he knew that this time the Shao Clan had arranged for three elders to come to help.
The strongest person is this old woman Shao Fengmei, who has not only cultivated to reach the peak of the late stage of the Yuan Shen Realm, but has also touched the barrier, which can be regarded as stepping into the half-step transformation realm with one foot.
The two old men behind Shao Fengmei, Shao Deyuan and Shao Dezhi, are also cultivators at the peak of the late stage of the Yuan Shen Realm.
Their presence makes the lineup of the Shaw Brothers even stronger.
At this moment, the sun shone on them, covering them with a golden glow.
"The old body represents the Fengguan Shaw Clan, thank you for your rescue, we have written down this great favor." Shao Fengmei said gratefully.
Li Yuan waved his hand, with a gentle smile on his face, and said, "Elder Fengmei is serious.
"I didn't actually do much, it was the Crazy Knife Gate that chose to escape."
At the mention of the name "Crazy Knife Gate", Shao Fengmei's eyes instantly became sharp, containing cold killing intent.
She said in a deep voice: "The Crazy Sword Gate has brought me the loss of the Fengguan Shao Clan this time, and we will let it return it tenfold!" β
After a while, Shao Fengmei took out a small blue and white flag with a ruler length from the Yun ring, handed it to Li Yuan, and said solemnly:
"I heard that you are majoring in thunder system Yuanli, and this Six Yang Wind Thunder Flag is imitated according to the Heavenly Python Zhenxun Banner.
"Even though it's a failure, it should be a good fit for the current one.
"This flag was found in a ruin by the old man more than 100 years ago, and the family did not take it back.
"You saved the children of the Shaw Brothers, and the old body is okay with this thing, so I gave it to you as a token of gratitude."
Li Yuan took the small flag, which seemed to contain the power of thunder and lightning, and he was overjoyed, but when he heard that it was a failure, he hesitated.
At this time, Shao Yanting said: "Li Yuan, don't underestimate this flag.
"The Six Yang Wind Thunder Banner is a treasure-level treasure.
"Although what Elder Fengmei has in his hands is only a failed product, its power is by no means comparable to that of Xuanbao.
"You major in the Thunder Elemental Force, and you can exert its power even more.
"With your current cultivation, using this treasure can at least exert the full force of the half-step Transformation Pattern Realm Xiaocheng.
"This is Elder Fengmei's beloved thing."
Hearing Shao Yanting's explanation, the hesitation in Li Yuan's heart suddenly dissipated, and he arched his hand: "I really need something to defend myself."
"Since that's the case, then I'm welcome, thank you Elder Fengmei for your generous gift."
Shao Fengmei smiled and reminded: "The amount of Yuan Power consumed by this flag to activate is extremely large, and your current cultivation can only be activated at most once, so you must use it with caution." β
When Li Yuan heard this, he was shocked in his heart, and then he thought of how powerful it was to be able to send out a full-strength blow from the half-step Transformation Pattern Realm Xiaocheng.
At the moment when it is necessary to use the Six Yang Wind Thunder Banner, I am afraid that it is already a matter of life and death.
He nodded solemnly and thanked him, "Thank you Elder Fengmei for the reminder." β
In order for the Yuan Pattern Scroll to unleash this kind of power, at least ninety-three Yuan Patterns need to be inscribed, which is already the limit that Li Yuan can reach at present.
However, to engrave such a number of scrolls, I don't know how many scrolls need to be scrapped to succeed, and it takes more energy and time.
He recalled that on the merchant ships of the five major families, he urged the scroll engraved with the Xuanming Killing Yuan Array, and it took more than a dozen scrolls to barely succeed in the inscription.
However, the Yuan Pattern Scroll is like a firework, which turns into nothingness when it blooms, and it is really unwise to use such consumables.
Ingot is different, like an inextinguishable fire, as long as the yuan power is continuous, it can be used continuously.
The premise is that you have a large enough Yuan power, and the stronger the Yuan Person, the greater the power you can exert.
Of course, ingots cannot be used indefinitely, and some need a certain amount of time to recover after using them once in order to exert their maximum power.
The Yuan Pattern Scroll is different, and the power that erupts has nothing to do with the strength of the Yuan Person's own cultivation.
"Enter the Feng Clan's ruins, you and the children of the Shao Clan will take care of each other." Shao Fengmei said.
Li Yuan thought about it in his heart and said to Shao Fengmei: "I want to break through alone."
"For a long time, I have been in family retreat and have encountered a bottleneck.
"This time I went out to experience it, just to find an opportunity to break through."
When Shao Fengmei heard this, she bowed slightly, and a trace of appreciation flashed in her eyes: "Hehe, yes, I didn't expect that the Longyang Li family would have a genius like you, but it was hidden deeply."
"This kind of heart, the old body is ashamed of itself."
Her gaze turned to Shao Yanting and continued, "There are not a few children in the family who have entered several major sects.
"Yan Ting, your talent is the best among them, with a top-level Xuan Bone, but when it comes to cultivation will, you are still slightly inferior to Li Yuan."
Just as a few people were talking, there was a rumbling sound of breaking the sky again in the distant sky.
Everyone looked up, only to see the brilliant light of the Dao Dao piercing the sky, flying towards this side with endless might.
The momentum is so great that it seems that even the heavens and the earth have changed color.
"The Tianjiao of the four major sects has finally arrived."
Shao Deyuan, who was behind Shao Fengmei, raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice.
Shao Dezhi followed: "This trip to the Feng Clan's ruins is really lively.
"Unexpectedly, for the sake of this ancient relic, even Zuo Feihong of Tianyun Sect's Shuiyun Peak personally went out."
There was a hint of banter in his words, and he didn't seem surprised by the arrival of this Zuo Feihong.
"Zuo Feihong? Is he famous? Li Yuan said lightly, but his heart was full of waves.
He looked at the white light at the front of the sky, although it was the same as Shao Fengmei's cultivation, its aura was too strong.
The fiancΓ©e of the old village chief of Fujiki Village is in Tianyun Sect, and it happens to be on Shuiyun Peak.
Therefore, Li Yuan paid special attention to the Shui Yun Peak of the Tianyun Sect, and at this moment, he subconsciously glanced at the white light that pierced the sky.
"It seems that you really don't know much about the outside world." Shao Yanting's voice sounded softly in Li Yuan's ears, "There is a Thousand Kings List of the Seven Great Sects of Wenhe, which includes the Tianjiao of the sect within the age of one hundred and twenty.
"This Zuo Feihong is ranked within the hundredth.
"I heard that it is a strong contender for the future seat of Shuiyun Peak.
However, he was not very lucky, Shui Jing, the current head of Shui Yun Peak of the Tianyun Sect, intended to support his disciple Ruan Ningmeng to inherit the throne.
"But Shui Jing's predecessor has been missing for more than ten years.
"Ruan Ningmeng is about the same age as us, and without the support of her master, it would still be a little difficult to catch up with Zuo Feihong.
"Therefore, there are variables in the future position of the Tianyun Sect's Shuiyun Peak."
"Oh, I see." Li Yuanming was clear, and immediately asked, "How is Zuo Feihong?" β
Shao Yanting shook her head and said softly, "I'm not a disciple of Tianyun Sect, so I don't know very well.
"But I've heard some rumors about Tianjiao, who is in the top 100 of the Thousand Kings List.
"Zuo Feihong is talented, and the Yuan Bone in his body has evolved into an earth bone, and he is arrogant, ruthless, and regards the weak as ants."
Frowning slightly, Li Yuan touched his chin and said lightly: "The reputation is not very good." β
Shao Yanting said: "Rumors are not necessarily true.
"After all, this is a world where the strong are respected, and most of the strong people within the hundred on the Thousand Kings List are like this.
"There are not a few Tianjiao who are more ruthless than Zuo Feihong.
"They're all aiming for the Heavenly Tribulation.
"Under the Pattern Realm, they are all ants."
