was asked by Mrs. Cang like this, Qiao Yuan was immediately stunned on the spot.

Looking back on this time, I haven't seen that reef since I left that day.

That reef was originally only three zhang in size, and with the tide rising and falling, it was normal for it to be submerged by the sea, so Qiao Yuan didn't notice this.

At this moment, I didn't even see a small island, a single fish or shrimp, as if there was nothing but sea water here, and that reef was extraordinary.

"Could it be that the reef is the key to getting out of this phantom array?"

A gleam flashed in Qiao Yuan's eyes, and he asked.

Mrs. Cang replied immediately, and her tone was also very affirmative.

"What was originally normal, but in an abnormal environment, even if it is normal, it is extraordinary, the master, the old slave concluded, that reef should be the key to this array. ”

Qiao Yuan nodded, and he already had a judgment in his heart.

The reef that used to exist is now gone, and it is clear that it has not really disappeared, but is hidden in a place that Qiao can't see from afar.

This place is only a hundred miles big, and in three days and three nights, he has already turned this place upside down, but he still has not found a reef.

The reef is the key to getting out of this array, and it is also the flaw in this phantom array, and there is no formation between heaven and earth that can perfectly hide the flaw, and this array is no exception.

Thinking of this, Qiao Yuan immediately rushed out of the sea, released the spirit sparrow, and sent out a divine thought, asking it to help keep an eye on the movement of the sea, and he himself dived to the bottom of the sea again.

If there is a flaw, it will change its position on its own, and it is just two areas of the seabed and the surface of the sea.

Thinking of this, Qiao Yuan directly chose to levitate in the center of the sea, mobilizing all his divine consciousness to completely encompass the sea below.

Time passed by breathlessly, and in the blink of an eye, it was dusk, and the tide began to slowly recede, and a dark stone appeared on the calm and waveless sea.

The spirit sparrow saw the stone at a glance, and the information came into Qiao Yuan's mind, causing his eyes to open suddenly, and he was on the surface of the sea in a flash.

"The tide rises and falls, and it turns out that the reef changes with the ebb and flow of the tide, and it also changes with time. ”

Qiao Yuan stood tall on the reef, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

Immediately he sat cross-legged on the wet reef and was about to begin studying the phantom array.

But before he could find out his senses, he felt a flower in front of him, and when he saw it clearly, what he saw was the yellow sand on the 800 zhang of the Ten Thousand Forbidden Peak.

At this moment, Qiao Yuan was still sitting cross-legged on the stone wall of the eaves, and when he looked down, he saw that a lot of yellow sand had gathered on his legs, as if he had been sitting here for a long time, and the wind and sand had blown on his body.

"What's going on?"

Qiao Yuan was stunned for a moment, and looked at the sand on his body in disbelief.

It stands to reason that when trapped in the phantom array, the monk can still control his body freely.

For example, when they were chased by the Mingguang Dao people in the dense forest before, they strayed into an illusion array, and although they couldn't see through the illusion at that time, they didn't restrict their physical movements.

But now, just looking at the sand on his body, Qiao Yuan understands that during this time in the illusion, he has not moved half a point.

This matter is too weird, completely unreasonable, and thinking of the previous scene when the purple pupil couldn't see through the illusion, he even had an extremely absurd guess in his heart.

"Didn't I fall into the phantom array just now?"

Qiao Yuan's brows furrowed slightly, he stood up, and moved his muscles and bones, only then did he clearly feel that his hands and feet were a little numb.

This kind of numbness is the imbalance of qi and blood caused by sitting for a long time, but not using spiritual power, and not cultivating.

Usually meditating and cultivating, even if Qiao Yuan sits for months in a row, he will not have this feeling.

But now this feeling clearly tells him that during this time, he has indeed not moved, let alone operated spiritual power.

"Cangtai, what the hell is going on?"

After thinking for a while, Qiao Yuan really couldn't figure it out, so he asked in a voice.

Mrs. Cang was old and refined, and the moment Qiao Yuan was sober, he noticed the reason.

"Master, if the old slave guessed correctly, we have just fallen for the illusion, and this illusion is extremely powerful, using the master's soul as the medium, bringing the old slave and the spirit sparrow into the illusion. ”

"It's an illusion, no wonder my body didn't move at all, it's just that I'm the only one here, who is this illusion?"

Qiao Yuan's eyes showed a thick look of vigilance, and he raised his eyes to look in all directions, and the expression on his face could not hide his surprise.

Although there is only one word difference between illusion and illusion array, it seems that the effect is the same, both make people fall into an illusion, but in fact, there is a huge difference.

The illusion array can pull all the human body and soul into the illusion, but the illusion is only aimed at the soul.

In addition, the phantom array only needs to be arranged, so it can be operated by itself without the control of the arrayer, while the illusion is similar to a magic spell, which needs to be cast on the spot.

And in such a place, if you fall into illusion, you can imagine that the caster must be around.

Thinking of this, Qiao Yuan only felt a chill down his spine, if the spell caster had the slightest chance of killing, I am afraid that he would have died here as early as when he was in the illusion.

"Who the hell did the illusion on me? Heisha, Wenyu, no way, it couldn't be them. ”

In addition to himself, there were two other people on the Ten Thousand Forbidden Peak, but when he climbed the eight-hundred-zhang stone wall before, he noticed that Heisha and Wen Yushang were still in the land of six hundred zhang.

In just a few days, it was impossible for these two people to rush from more than 600 zhang to 800 zhang, and even if they could do it, how could they let Qiao Yuan go.

"The master doesn't have to worry about it, this caster is very hidden, and the illusion he casts on his master is relatively gentle, and it seems that there is no malice, but more like a test. ”

At this moment, Cangtai's words of comfort sounded in his head.

"Test?"

A hint of confusion flashed in Qiao Yuan's eyes, the illusion was relatively gentle, there was no malice and it was not fake, he could see it himself, but when it came to this test, where to start.

"The master must have already seen that this Ten Thousand Forbidden Peaks has a strange shape, resembling a tall tower. Looking at the master all the way up the mountain, the difficulty of the prohibitions encountered by each hundred zhang will increase exponentially, and the prohibitions on the same layer have the same effect, and can be divided into the same type of prohibition. ”

"With such a rule, what did the master think?"

In the space bead, with a wave of the Cangtai vine, an illusory mountain the size of a palm immediately appeared, and with his words, Qiao Yuan's eyes immediately lit up.

"Forbidden Array Tower? The Forbidden Array Tower of May Peak, this Ten Thousand Forbidden Peak is actually quite similar to the Forbidden Array Tower. ”

What he should have thought of a long time ago was just Gu Shiyun, who didn't know the true face of Lushan, only because he was in this mountain.

On this Ten Thousand Forbidden Peak, he couldn't see the whole picture of this peak, and over time, he also ignored this.

The Ten Thousand Forbidden Peak is quite similar to the Forbidden Array Tower, but this peak is also a similar treasure, but the world is confused by the appearance and cannot see through its essence.

He still remembered that Duan Tiangu had said a secret back then, the Forbidden Array Tower was the most important part of the Ancient Sealing Mansion, and mastering the Forbidden Array Tower was equivalent to mastering the Ancient Sealing Mansion.

And through the words of Yue Wuxi, it is known that the Gufeng Mansion has an unfathomable strength of the Mansion Spirit, and this Mansion Spirit still has an independent consciousness and is not controlled by anyone.

If the Ten Thousand Forbidden Peaks are really the same as the Forbidden Array Tower, then there must also be an unfathomable and independent consciousness of the Instrument Spirit, or the Array Spirit.

In this way, it can explain that Qiao Yuan was used to illusion just now.

And if a formation spirit casts an illusion on a monk, if there is no killing intent, then it is indeed as Cang Tai said, more like a test.

After figuring out these details, Qiao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the remaining two prohibitions in front of him, and showed a thoughtful expression.

"If it's really just a test, then what exactly does it want to test?

After being silent for a moment, Mrs. Cang seemed to see through a little, and made a few words.

"Master, if you can go to this eight-hundred-zhang place, it means that your forbidden formation attainment has met the requirements for being tested, and it can be said that you have passed the first level test. ”

"So this second level is definitely not a test of the forbidden formation attainment, but it contains it, such as the two prohibitions in front of you, but the focus is on the heart, and the master still needs to have the courage to try in order to understand the true meaning. ”

When Qiao Yuan heard this, he seemed to understand something.

However, he agrees with Cangtai's last sentence, since it is a test, then he must sink into it, find the answer, and think about it here, he will definitely not be able to think of why.

With a decision, Qiao Yuan sat cross-legged again, looked at the two prohibitions in front of him, and concentrated his mind on studying them carefully.

Half a day later, the second prohibition collapsed, and with the first experience, he seemed extremely calm.

Qiao Yuan took the initiative to close his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was still a blue sea and blue sky in front of him, and the waves were surging.

And he, as before, stood on a reef that was no more than three feet in circumference, and the cold water stirred up and splashed down on his face, and the touch could not have been more real.

Qiao Yuan stretched out his hand to wipe the seawater off his face, his expression was calm like the water of an ancient well, without the slightest ripple.

He sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and paid no attention to the howling of the sea breeze, nor to the rising and falling of the waves, and to slowly submerge him.

"Illusion is born from the heart, the heart is magical, my heart is not moving, there is no illusion in heaven and earth. ”

In Qiao Yuan's heart, everything in front of him is fake, it is all a virtual image created by illusion, he is the only one in this world who is true, firmly believe in this, this illusion will be broken.

Sure enough, at the moment when the tide completely submerged him, the surrounding scene changed drastically, Qiao Yuan slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes were still full of yellow sand.

Only this time, the time for him to break the illusion was much shorter, and there was no trace of wind and sand blowing on his body.

"Don't believe in illusions, don't give birth to illusions, this test seems too simple. ”

Qiao Yuan's face did not have the joy of passing the test, but he still felt a little puzzled, after all, the second test was even simpler than the first test, which was really a bit unreasonable.

Just when he was puzzled, Cang Tai spoke again and pointed out the key.

"Master, these three prohibitions add up to the second level of the test, you can see them as a whole, easily passed the first two stages, this last stage must be the most difficult. ”
