The sea of sand is vast, and even the monks of the foundation building period who come and go can easily lose their way once they leave the oasis and go deep into the sea of sand.

Zhou Yang followed Chen Pingzhi from the Baisha River Oasis, and after walking and stopping all the way for almost a day, he stopped over a sand dune.

At this time, after flying in a different direction many times, even with his ability to never forget, it is difficult to return the same way, if there is no Chen Pingzhi to lead the way, he wants to return to the Baisha River Oasis by himself, I am afraid that it will take a while to succeed.

And he also noticed that Chen Pingzhi was able to take him to this sand dune accurately in the vast sea of sand, in addition to having a map in his hand, it was not unrelated to another disc magic weapon.

The disc artifact is called "Astrolabe", which is a third-order low-grade artifact, and the method of refining this artifact is quite mysterious, and only Huangshamen and a few refiners of a large family can refine it.

Immortal cultivators hold the "fixed astrolabe" in their hands, as long as they are not in the dark underground and formation, they can determine their position according to the stars in the sky.

Doesn't it sound easy at first glance to identify the direction according to the stars?

Not really.

You know, there is no North Star and constellations in this world, the starry sky of this world has very few stars, and there are few stars at night.

Without the aid of the "astrolabe", unless it is the kind of monk who has studied the stars deeply, it is impossible for most monks to discern the direction through the stars.

It is said that this kind of "astrolabe" magic weapon was originally only available in the distant overseas immortal cultivation world, and it is a necessary magic weapon for overseas immortal cultivation monks to sail in the boundless sea.

Later, the predecessors of the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm traveled overseas to cultivate the Immortal Realm, and only then did they bring this magic weapon refining method back here, and taught it to their disciples and descendants, and later gradually spread among the Huangshamen and other big forces.

The Zhou family also has a "fixed astrolabe", which was brought out from Huangshamen when Zhou Yuquan, the ancestor of the Zhou family, left Huangshamen, and has been mastered by the old patriarch Zhou Minghan.

This time he knew that Zhou Yang was going out to explore, and Zhou Minghan was afraid that he would get lost in the sea of sand, so he specially handed over the "Astrolabe" magic weapon to him, and now put it in his storage bag.

"This is it, the cave is just below the dunes. ”

Under the moonlight, after Chen Pingzhi repeatedly checked the map in his hand, he stretched out his hand and pointed to one of the dozens of sand dunes rolling below and said to Zhou Yang.

When Zhou Yang heard him say this, he couldn't help but look in the direction he was pointing, then frowned, and muttered to himself: "Are the seniors sure that it's right? The juniors are clumsy, but they can't see how those sand dunes are different from other sand dunes, and there doesn't seem to be any sign of spiritual veins here." ”

"Most of the spiritual veins in the sand sea are hidden deep underground, and it's normal to see nothing from the outside, not to mention that there are formations outside that cave to cover the fluctuations of spiritual energy. Chen Pingzhi explained disapprerovingly, waved his hand, and directly released a flying sword and slashed towards the sand dune.

Bang!

The flying sword shot into the sand dunes, as if it had hit something hard, causing a loud roar.

At the same time, a powerful aura fluctuation also rose and disappeared from the interior of the sand dunes in a flash.

"Sure enough, there is something inside!"

Zhou Yang's spirits perked up, and his eyes were blazing as he watched Chen Pingzhi use his means to break the formation.

He came here with him, naturally not to watch the show, but if Chen Pingzhi didn't take the initiative to ask him to help, he wouldn't be able to break the agreement and take the initiative.

Chen Pingzhi was obviously prepared, and after determining that there was a formation guard hidden inside the sand dune, he immediately put away his flying sword and released a cyan flag magic weapon.

I saw that he held the cyan flag and shook it violently, and suddenly several strong whirlwinds swept towards the sand dune, and under the whirlwind, there was a burst of flying sand and rocks on the sand dunes, and a large amount of yellow sand was swept up by the whirlwind and carried out of the sand dunes.

After a quarter of an hour or two, the billions of yellow sand that covered the dunes were all peeled away, revealing the rocky mountains inside.

Zhou Yang looked around, and saw that on the rocky mountain less than 100 meters above the ground, an obviously man-made cave entrance was opened on the mountainside.

The entrance of the cave was covered by the power of the formation, and it was impossible to see what was going on inside, Zhou Yang recalled the direction of Chen Pingzhi's previous flying sword attack, and quickly determined that the roaring sound just now was from the entrance of the cave.

And when he released his divine sense to look at the formation at the entrance of the cave, Chen Pingzhi had already put away the cyan flag magic weapon, looked at the entrance of the cave with joy on his face and shouted: "Sure enough, it is the [Covering the Yellow Sand Formation], it seems that this harvest should be very good!"

"Oh, does Senior Chen know this formation, can you tell the junior about the origin of this formation?"

His face flashed with surprise, and he looked at Chen Pingzhi curiously and asked about the situation.

"Xiaoyou has just built the foundation not long ago, I don't know that the [Covering the Yellow Sand Formation] is normal, this formation was created by a fourth-order formation mage senior in Huangshamen more than a thousand years ago, although it is a third-order lower-grade formation, but it has many functions, it can not only cover the fluctuations of aura, but also has a good defensive power, and also has the effect of absorbing the yellow sand and concealing its tracks. ”

"Look at those yellow sands, if it weren't for Chen's magic weapon to sweep them away just now, it would have been impossible to blow them out of the area of influence of the [Covering Yellow Sand Formation] just by relying on the natural wind in the desert. ”

"Even so, as long as this [Covering Yellow Sand Formation] is not broken, in a few days, this stone mountain will be filled with yellow sand and restore the original appearance of the sand dunes. ”

Chen Pingzhi didn't hide his secrets, and immediately told Zhou Yang the news he knew.

Then he looked at Zhou Yang and smiled: "Since it's just a [Covering the Yellow Sand Array], it can be broken by giving Chen a day or two, it seems that this time I have to bother Zhou Xiaoyou to run for nothing." ”

When Zhou Yang heard what he said, he wanted to say that he was not disappointed, it must be false, but he concealed it very well on his face, and replied with an indifferent smile: "If you can come out with Senior Chen to gain some knowledge, the younger generation is not without gain, since the senior has confidence, then let it go, and leave the matter of protecting the Dharma to the younger generation." ”

"Then it's a hassle for you. ”

Chen Pingzhi said, and had already released his flying sword again and slashed towards the entrance of the cave on the stone mountain.

Breaking the formation with force is the most common means used by immortal cultivators when facing the formation.

After all, the formation is no better than other immortal cultivation arts, and its entry standard is much more difficult than that of refiners and alchemists.

In order for an immortal cultivator to become a formation mage, in addition to having the talent of a formation mage, he must also be willing to invest a lot of time in deep study, and the cost of cultivating a formation mage is also ten times the cost of cultivating a refiner and alchemist.

At the same time, in the immortal cultivation world, the status of the formation mage is also extremely high, and the third-order array mage can make friends even when facing the cultivators of the Purple Mansion Period, and no one dares to despise it.

A family as big as the Chen family, and now there is not a single third-order formation mage in the clan, which shows how difficult it is to form a formation.

However, although the Chen family does not have a third-order formation mage now, there is still one before, and the analysis of the formation left by him in the clan, Chen Pingzhi and other foundation-building monks naturally have the right to check it, so even if he wants to break the formation with force, he knows where to use his strength, rather than completely brutal.

Zhou Yang was on the side to protect the Fa, but he also learned something because of it, and it was not completely nothing.

He watched Chen Pingzhi break the formation, from the beginning of simply using flying swords to wear down the defensive strength of the formation, testing the weakness of the formation, and then several magic weapons came out together, and the fierce bombardment of the formation hit the weak point of the formation, causing the entire stone mountain to shake violently, and the momentum was not amazing.

Fortunately, they were now in the depths of the sand sea thousands of miles away from the oasis, otherwise such a big movement would have already alarmed other monks within hundreds of miles.

After a day and a night of onslaught like this, the Huang Mengmeng Formation Shield that guarded the entrance of the cave finally dispersed, revealing the entrance of the cave inside.

Zhou Yang looked around, only to see that the two gates of the cave were carved by the second-order spiritual object "Huangyan Jade", and a plaque was also carved by "Huangyan Jade" hanging on the lintel, on which the words "Thousand Machines Cave Heaven" were written in cinnabar.

"Thousand Machines Cave Heaven, what a big breath!"

Chen Pingzhi also saw the name of the cave, and when he saw the words "Thousand Machines Cave Heaven", he couldn't help but sneer.

"Dongtian" is the legendary abode of the heavenly immortals, even those true immortals in the tribulation period of the famous realm, do not dare to call their cave mansion Dongtian, and the cave mansion built by a monk in the foundation building period also dares to use the name of "Dongtian" indiscriminately, which is really not ordinary arrogance.

Zhou Yang also frowned, and was very unhappy with the arrogant behavior of the owner of this "Thousand Machines Cave Heaven".

Although it is said that immortal cultivators must have the heart of the Tao and the ambition to become a Dao Heavenly Immortal, this kind of ambition should not be constantly in the mouth, let alone expressed with this kind of transgressive behavior.

After he frowned, he couldn't help but persuade out loud: "Why do the seniors have to be angry with a dead man, since the cave formation has been broken, let's go into the cave first to take a look, the younger generation also wants to see what kind of grand scene is in the cave for such an arrogant person!"

Xiaoyou is right, and see Chen come to open the door. ”

Chen Pingzhi bowed slightly, released a flying sword with a wave of his hand, and directly violently smashed the gate of the cave on the spot.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang's eyelids twitched slightly, and he secretly felt distressed for the two "Huangyanyu" gates.

The gate of his cave in Haoyang Cave is still only made of ordinary stone, and if these two "Huangyan Jade" gates can be dismantled to decorate the façade, it is also an excellent thing, but Chen Pingzhi's sword is completely lost for him.

In this regard, he could only scold the "big dog" in his heart, and then silently followed Chen Pingzhi to the cave.

It's just that he hadn't stepped into the gate of the cave for half a step, and suddenly heard Chen Pingzhi's shocked and angry shouts from inside.

This made him feel shocked, and he hurriedly waved his sleeves and released a defensive magic weapon in front of him, and then felt that it was not safe, and then a layer of defensive golden light rose on his body, and he actually used the defensive magic power "Qianyang Golden Light" out.
