On a hillside thousands of feet away from the lake, Lu Nan sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, as if he was meditating and cultivating.

Qu Yunwei was wearing a white dress, standing at the highest point of the hillside, with a trace of worry in her eyes, looking at the lake in the distance.

The breeze lifted the corners of her white skirt, and her delicate body seemed to stand unsteady in the wind, wanting to ride the wind away.

"It's been three days, why hasn't he come out yet?"

Qu Yunwei sighed lightly and muttered in a low voice.

In the jade slip that Qiao Yuan asked Bai Yue to pass out, he only briefly said that he needed to cultivate at the bottom of the lake for three days, but now that the three days have passed, Qiao Yuan still hasn't appeared.

"Senior Sister Qu, three days have passed, and Uncle Qiao hasn't come out yet, how are we okay?"

Lu Nan slowly opened his eyes, got up and walked to Qu Yunwei's side, also looked at the lake, and spoke softly.

Qu Yunwei was silent, and it wasn't until another stick of incense had passed that she slowly spoke.

"You wait here, I'll go under the lake. ”

"Senior Sister Qu, let's go under the lake and check. ”

Lu Nan hurriedly took a step, stopped in front of Qu Yunwei, and said in a deep voice.

Qu Yunwei shook her head with a resolute look in her eyes, and then she directly crossed Lu Nan and walked slowly towards the lake.

Lu Nan's heart suddenly tingled, his eyes dimmed slightly, and he stood there with his head down, until Qu Yunwei walked out of a thousand zhang away, he didn't look up.

In the pit at the bottom of the lake, Qiao Yuan was now sitting cross-legged on the second level of the altar, which was the eighteenth step.

"I didn't expect that the master not only comprehended the realm of Shen Xin, but also entered a deeper realm of micro mind. ”

The natal tree spirit was suspended not far from Qiao Yuan, and an old face faintly appeared on it, and that face looked at Qiao Yuan with a strong look of shock, and whispered in a low voice.

After three consecutive days of study, Qiao Yuan no longer just entered the realm of contemplation, but transitioned from the realm of contemplation to the realm of micro-heart.

In this state of micro-heart, Qiao Yuan only had a glimpse of the door back then, and it took great luck to enter this state, and he had high requirements for the environment and his heart.

This place is located deep underground, pitch black, and there is not the slightest sound, providing the best environment for Qiao Yuan to enter the realm of deep heart, and even the realm of micro heart.

In this way, he was able to reach the eighteenth step in just three days.

But not long after Qiao Yuan entered the realm of micro-heart, the ape relief on the stone wall of the altar flashed again with a dark green glow in his eyes.

This time, the light was not faint, but extremely bright, not even fainter than the green light emitted by the natal tree spirit.

Bai Yue was lying on his stomach under the altar, it was the first to notice this, and hurriedly let out a low roar, alerting Cang Tai and Qiao Yuan.

Cang Taizheng was shocked by Qiao Yuan, who had entered the realm of micro-heart, so he didn't notice the abnormality at the first time, but when he heard Bai Yue's roar, the old man's face changed, and he quickly turned his head to look.

"Array Spirit Revival?"

Cang Tai subconsciously thought of this, and hurriedly spoke, and then it saw an ape walking out of the stone wall relief.

The ape was exactly the same as the relief, except that its body was not real, but in a transparent and illusory state, as if it were only the ape's soul.

After the ape appeared, his eyes flashed green, and without hesitation, he went straight to Qiao Yuan on the altar.

Bai Yue let out a roar of rage, and her eyes revealed a monstrous ferocity, blocking in front of the ape the moment it flew out.

However, the ape didn't even look at Bai Yue, and still walked towards the altar, as if he only had Qiao Yuan in his eyes, and no one else.

Bai Yue's claws were sharp, and he grabbed towards the ape at a very fast speed, only to see a flash of silver light, and Bai Yue's body actually passed directly through the ape's body and landed behind the ape.

This scene suddenly stunned Bai Yue, but it was only for a moment before it roared again and rushed towards the ape.

"Sure enough, it is a formation spirit, this array spirit has not fully awakened, others cannot attack it, and it cannot attack others, but it can attack the master who is comprehending the formation with the body of the formation. ”

Cang Tai said anxiously.

It knew that once Qiao Yuan entered the state of Sinking Heart and Micro Heart, he would lose all contact with the outside world, and even if others attacked him, he would not feel anything, and he would not even wake up.

Cang Tai's eyes showed decisiveness, and immediately a bead emitting a faint white light appeared in the natal tree spirit, and then it directly triggered a trace of divine thought left by Qiao Yuan, and all Qiao Yuan and Bai Yue were included in the space bead.

As soon as he entered the space bead, Qiao Yuan's eyes opened suddenly, and there was confusion inside.

It wasn't until a few breaths later that Qiao Yuan came to his senses, glanced at the white moon not far away, and finally landed his gaze on the natal tree spirit and asked softly.

"Mrs. Cang, what's wrong?"

"Master, there are still the remaining array spirits in this array, just now that array of spirits was revived and wanted to attack the master, so the old slave attracted the divine thought and sent the master into the space bead. ”

In the natal tree spirit, Cangtai's words came out.

Qiao Yuan nodded, his divine sense spread out of the space bead, and he immediately saw a transparent and illusory ape on the altar.

"It's no wonder that when I first entered this place, I always had a feeling of being noticed, and it turned out to be a formation spirit. ”

The so-called array spirit is that when the arranger arranges the formation, the soul of a certain living creature or the instrument spirit of the magic weapon is added to the formation.

This kind of array spirit is generally sapient, and has a memory of life, and even more, it can use the supernatural magic before birth.

But there are also those who do not have spiritual intelligence, although such a formation spirit is not as powerful as the spiritual formation spirit, but it is better to be loyal, and there will never be a situation of escaping from the formation.

Regarding the various aspects of the array spirit, Qiao Yuan naturally knew, and at this moment, his divine sense swept away, and he knew that the ape array spirit did not have spiritual intelligence at all.

It only sensed that Qiao Yuan had a move to destroy the formation, and then it woke up.

In fact, Qiao Yuan did not destroy the formation, but weakened most of the pressure imposed on him by the formation, otherwise he would not have been able to reach the eighteenth step.

It stands to reason that in the face of this situation, it is the right choice for Qiao Yuan to leave this place as soon as possible.

But he was unwilling, the ancient formation could not be encountered anywhere, and it could be said that it was a great opportunity to encounter such a remnant formation for him to study.

"Master, once this array spirit is fully awakened, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with, and it can still manipulate the formation to trap us here permanently, so it's better for the master to leave as soon as possible." ”

Cang Tai let out a sigh and hurriedly spoke.

Qiao Yuan was silent, thinking carefully in his heart.

But at this moment, in the passage at the top of the altar, a beautiful girl in a long white dress floated down and landed in front of the altar.

This girl was Qu Yunwei, who came to look for Qiao Yuan, after she entered this place, she swept her eyes, and she didn't see a single figure, but only saw a transparent and illusory ape on the altar.

Qu Yunwei's expression changed immediately, and her beautiful eyes were full of worry.

However, at this time, the ape with his eyes flashing with a faint green light turned around and looked at Qu Yunwei with a worried face.

The ape lost Qiao Yuan's goal, and was originally in a state of confusion, but now when he saw Qu Yunwei, he transferred all his hostility to her.

Then its figure flew up, its eyes flashed, and it went straight to Qu Yunwei.

Qu Yunwei's brows furrowed, she sensed Qiao Yuan's aura here, and also saw traces of Bai Yue's activities, but she didn't see Qiao Yuan and Bai Yue's figures.

Now that she was inexplicably attacked by the ape, an irritable anger suddenly rose in her heart, Qu Yunwei's heart would not have been like this, but caring would be chaotic, even if she didn't eat the fireworks in the world, it was inevitable.

Qu Yunwei's whole body was surging with spiritual power, and with a slight wave of her jade hand, a water wave ribbon immediately condensed out, wrapping around her wrist.

Then his jade hand was lightly pulled, and the water wave ribbon immediately came out of his hand and flew straight towards the ape.

However, to Qu Yunwei's surprise, the water wave ribbon actually penetrated the ape's body directly, as if the ape did not exist at all, but was just an illusory shadow.

Qu Yunwei hurriedly retreated to the rear, until she retreated to the edge of the stone wall, and when there was no way to retreat, Qu Yunwei waved her hand, and a white silk cloth appeared, directly in front of her, blocking the ape's way.

But the ape did not care, and penetrated the silk cloth again.

Under her fright, the ape came to Qu Yunwei's body, and then the ape passed directly through Qu Yunwei's body and stood behind her.

"Miss Qu, don't worry for the time being, this spirit has not fully recovered yet, and it can't hurt anyone. ”

Just when Qu Yunwei was very puzzled about this scene, a familiar voice suddenly floated from the altar.

Qu Yunwei's eyes showed joy, and she hurriedly turned her head to see that Qiao Yuan was standing on the second floor of the altar.

Qu Yunwei ignored the ape, but shook her delicate body and flew straight to the altar, but before she could fly onto the altar, she was forcibly pressed down by an invisible force.

"There is a formation on this altar, and it is impossible to fly. ”

Qiao Yuan hurriedly walked down from the altar and explained.

At the same time, the ape's eyes showed a gloomy light, and he no longer looked at Qu Yunwei, but stared at Qiao Yuan deadly, rushing towards him quickly.

Qiao Yuan knew that it would take some time for this ape to fully recover, and it would not be able to hurt people for the time being, so he ignored it.

"What is this place? What's going on with this ape?"

Qu Yunwei asked softly with doubts in her eyes.

"Let's go out first, and explain as we go. ”

Qiao Yuan had already made a decision in his heart, with this array of spirits, it would definitely be difficult for him to study the formation with peace of mind, and the higher the altar went, the more complicated the formation became, and the more time it spent.

Qiao Yuan weighed it carefully, and after finding the herbs, if he had time, he would come here to study the formation again.

After saying that, Qiao Yuan flew up with Qu Yunwei and flew towards the passage, and at the same time, Qiao Yuan also told Qu Yunwei about the formation here.

But when they walked all the way to the fork in the road, Qiao Yuan's footsteps were abrupt, and he turned his head to look at the lower left passage leading to the underground river, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"Do you think this passage will connect with the Sky River?"

Qu Yunwei showed a strange glint in her eyes, looked at Qiao Yuan and nodded, and then the two of them turned around and went straight to the passage.
