Cultivate steadily, the whole world of cultivating immortals is my home

Chapter 189 Formation fills the secret realm

In a remote valley, deep in the earth, there is a nest of black horned ants several feet in size, embedded in the soil. Densely packed black horned ants emerge from the nest and quickly move towards the distance.

At the same time, another black-horned ant crawled in from afar, carrying ores of different colors on its black horns or two large pliers, and headed towards the nest.

The amount of ore accumulated in the lair here has accumulated into a two-foot-sized hill. Most of it is first-level ore, with a few scattered pieces of second-level ore that are still very small.

At this time, a stream of light flashed through, and the ore piled up into a hill was cleared away.

"Master, we have already conveyed the message and we are not allowed to collect any more ores."

Dahei followed up with a whoosh and landed on Shen Lian's shoulder, and then one person and one beast fled into the distance.

The reason why the black-horned ants are not allowed to collect ore is mainly because the number of monks entering the secret realm has increased. The black-horned ant colony is so huge that it would be too conspicuous to continue collecting ore.

Currently, the black-horned ants are reproducing very quickly, almost covering the mountains and rivers outside the secret realm, and are moving towards the center of the secret realm little by little.

After some inspection by Shen Lian, the general shape of the secret realm was determined, showing an irregular oval, with an area much larger than the rumored radius of ten thousand miles.

The widest point from east to west is nearly [-] miles, the longest point from north to south is more than [-] miles, and the overall area reaches nearly [-] miles in radius.

Moreover, collapsed areas can be seen around the entire secret realm, and some mountains and rivers are trapped in space debris, which is enough to prove that the secret realm was once larger.

The central area of ​​the secret realm was about three thousand miles in radius, and the entire area was shrouded in a light blue mist. Shen Lian tried to sense it in the blue mist on the side.

It was discovered that the light blue mist suppressed the induction of spiritual thoughts. After verification in several places, it was finally determined that the light blue mist suppressed spiritual thoughts by more than [-]%.

His nearly 44 miles of spiritual sense had a sensing range of less than three miles in the light blue mist.

However, Shen Lian sensed it and retreated. He did not think about entering the central area of ​​the secret realm. Even if there were more spiritual creatures in the central area, he was not too jealous.

After exploring the outer area, the results were very favorable to him.

In order for the secret realm to carry living beings to thrive, spiritual veins must exist, and the spiritual veins in the vast sea secret realm have a central radiating shape.

Its main spiritual vein is within the blue mist of the core place, and from it extends dense branches like tree roots, all over the mountains and rivers surrounding the secret realm.

With these spiritual veins as a basis, arranging formations will have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort, and can also save a lot of spiritual stones.

……

In the mountains and fields, after collecting another ore from a black-horned ant nest, Shen Lian escaped into the mountains and had just flown more than ten miles, when he couldn't help but frown.

The spiritual talisman inside his robe shone slightly, and someone was peering at him.

The divine will that could fall on him so silently must have surpassed him by a lot.

Shen Lian did not use his spiritual thoughts to explore the source of the peeping spiritual thoughts. Since he was sure that the peeping person's spiritual thoughts were stronger than him, tracing the source of the spiritual thoughts would expose himself even more.

A monk in the middle stage of the golden elixir stage has a spiritual mind between six thousand and twelve thousand feet.

This range fluctuates greatly, mainly because the monks who can cultivate the golden elixir each have great and small opportunities, and their spiritual roots and skills are not ordinary.

As soon as he thought of this, Shen Lian fled towards the depths of the earth with a whoosh.

"Hey, an early stage golden elixir can actually run away from me under the induction of my spiritual thoughts?"

The next moment, a piece of black spiritual light flew from the distance, and there was a look of surprise. A middle-aged monk with thick eyebrows and big eyes appeared in the burst of black light.

Immediately, his spiritual thoughts once again swept inside and outside the mountain forest. After checking again, he still found nothing.

The middle-aged monk smiled lightly, turned into a ball of black light again and headed towards the center of the secret realm.

……

"call."

Avoiding the prying eyes of the malicious monks, Shen Lian breathed a sigh of relief.

As the secret realm is open for longer and longer, the strength of the monks who enter the secret realm is also improving. Although the monk he just met said that his spiritual power is much stronger than him, he is not afraid of a real fight.

The main reason why he didn't take action was that Shen Lian felt it was unnecessary. Taking action one after another would only expose himself. All his thoughts were currently on how to lay out the formation.

As for the battle of magic, let other fellow Taoists do it, they have plenty of magic power.

All the way to the edge of the secret realm, there was a collapsed part. The space here was unstable, and the nearby mountains and forests were stripped bare by the impact, not to mention the elixir.

In a place like this, except for the fluctuations in space, no one peeps.

He opened his own cave, arranged the Thousand Mountains and All-Seeing Formation as a cover, and arranged several five-element formations as protection.

Sitting cross-legged in the cave, Shen Lian took out a jade slip.

The jade slip is for him to check the direction of the spiritual veins on the periphery of the secret realm. He needs to plan carefully how to use the spiritual veins to maximize the efficiency of the formation.

As for the ore for refining the cornerstone of the formation, Shen Lian is not short of it.

Especially after he was able to refine the ore, his goal was no longer to focus on the third-order ore, but to collect more first- and second-order ores, so that the first- and second-order ores in the storage ring piled up like mountains.

"This place is densely covered with mountains, wild lakes and swamps, and is dominated by the attributes of earth and water, supplemented by the attributes of wood, metal and fire."

"Refining a main formation disk can be used as the switch for all formations."

It is easy for the formation master to arrange formations, but if you want to connect dozens or hundreds of formations, this will test the ability of the formation master.

Coincidentally, Shen Lian's formation inheritance includes this aspect.

After some consideration, he had a complete layout in mind.

Work officially started.

Shen Lian named the formation the Core Continuous Formation of the Environmental Secret Realm. Since the outer area is too large, it is easier to surround the core area. This way, the range is small, and the formation can be more concentrated.

After these days of investigation, even if there is any conspiracy, it will happen in the central area of ​​the secret realm.

The area shrouded in light blue mist perfectly suited the plot.

After the formation surrounded the core area, Shen Lian also selected the edge directions of the three peripheral areas, which were also used as the placement points of the formation and as a way out to break through the secret realm and escape.

If the crisis is too great in the end, we can only resort to dangerous tactics and forcefully blast away from the edge of the secret realm to escape.

……

Three months.

call!
In the blue mist area at the edge of the core of the secret realm, Shen Lian was like an earthworm, shuttling between the branches of the spiritual veins, driving formation stones into the spiritual veins.

Relying on the terrain of spiritual veins, mountains, lakes, rivers, etc., he has deployed 79 formations, covering the entire core area in a series of formations.

With the blessing of underground spiritual veins, the power of these formations has reached the third level of mid-level, and their endurance is needless to say.

Unless the formation base is forcibly broken, the spirit veins will not dry up and the formation will continue.

As for the safety of the formation base, it was all hidden in the spiritual veins by Shen Lian.

"It's still not enough."

The palms are spread out, the five elements of spiritual light are shining, and the jade symbols are intertwined with five colors.

This is the improvement method Shen Lian has prepared for the formation base. The five-element circulation talisman array can enhance the power of the formation base and increase the power of the third-level mid-level formation to another level.

Clang!
Just when Shen Lian was about to continue working, a sonorous sword chant exploded in the distant sky, and the golden sword energy in the sky swept across the mountains and fields below without any cover at all.

Wherever it passed, the mountains, wild beasts, etc. were all smashed into pieces.Above the sword energy, a golden-robed figure stepped on the sword and rushed straight into the core area.

Feeling the terrifying aura, Shen Lian dived deep into the earth with a whoosh.

"Late stage of golden elixir, or perfect golden elixir?"

"No, the formation is not enough. Stack it again."

……

Deep in the light blue mist, the mountains are vast.

The spiritual energy swirls upward from every corner of the mountains and fields, and the rich spiritual energy makes the vegetation in the mountains and forests become full of spiritual energy.

Even ordinary weeds have turned into first-level spiritual grass under the nourishment of the spiritual machine, which is enough for monks in the Qi training period to take it to improve their cultivation.

But in the mountain forest that came into view, there were potholes and pits of earth and rocks everywhere, as if they had been gnawed by dogs, and large tracts of spiritual grass were shattered by the impact of spiritual energy.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that the monks who collected the spiritual herbs showed no mercy, did not restrain their aura, and trampled on these ordinary low-level spiritual herbs at will.

But the deeper you go into the fog, the weirder the environment becomes. Looking up at the sky, you can see blue fog gathering in the sky, turning into a blue sky.

On the ground, you can see some traces left after the fight, and the smell of various spells still remains.

At the same time, the suppression of divine thoughts became stronger and stronger, and later the divine thoughts were directly suppressed to the fourth or fifth level of foundation building.

In the center of the core area, the gathered blue mist formed a blue vortex. Looking from the bottom up, you can clearly see the hollow inside the vortex.

A series of harsh buzzing sounds came from the cavity.

Vaguely, a dazzling green flashed inside the vortex.

After the greenery dimmed, the hollow inside the vortex fell into darkness again, with occasional white light appearing, forming a twisted state of intertwined black and white light.

In the mountains below the whirlpool, the mountains collapsed, the smell of blood filled the air, and some broken arms and limbs could be seen.

Among the rocks around the ruins, eyes intertwined, each exuding vigilance, and at the same time looking into the whirlpool hollow above.

"Buzz!"

Black and white light flashed, and a harsh buzzing sound sounded again in the whirlpool cavity.

In an instant, the bright green light that had disappeared before suddenly appeared, reflecting in the eyes of the figures around him like lightning, making the Jindan monks present stop breathing.

"It's coming again!"

Somewhere among the collapsed rocks, a monk was looking forward to it, and even subconsciously said something.

At the same time, the golden elixir monks scattered everywhere, their magic power moved, and they were ready to attack.

"Buzz!"

In the vortex cavity, black and white lights continued to collide, and among the bright green flashes, a small crystal clear liquid bead slowly emerged.

Immediately, extremely rich spiritual energy fluctuations emanated from the small green liquid beads.

The rich spiritual power, even from a distance, made the Jindan monks present feel the mana surge in their bodies, and their practice methods began to operate autonomously.

call!
call!
Rough breathing sounded, and all the Jindan monks stared at the small green droplets that appeared.

The golden elixir monks in the South China Sea have been practicing high-quality elixirs for a long time.

There are currently two types of spiritual liquid beads falling from the whirlpool cavity.

One is light cyan in color, and its medicinal power is equivalent to a high-quality third-level mid-grade elixir.

The other one is green in color, and its potency is comparable to the third-level high-grade elixir.

For monks in the early stage of the Golden Elixir, even if they swallow a stream of light blue spiritual liquid, they may advance to the middle stage of the Golden Elixir.

For a monk in the middle stage of the Golden Elixir, grabbing two more liquid beads is enough to advance to the late stage of the Golden Elixir faster, and at a higher level, it can also help increase the probability of having a baby.

Tick.

The suspended green liquid beads swayed, falling from the sky like ripe fruits.

In an instant, the mana accumulated in all directions erupted like a volcano.

"Get out of here, the spiritual fluid is mine."

"The heaven and earth, the spiritual beings, and the virtuous people live there. I am the one who rises and opens..."

"Go away, this belongs to Naigong!"

……

In an instant, dozens of mana attacks collided in mid-air. There was an unlucky monk, twisting his enchanting figure and rushing towards the spiritual fluid bead. He was hit by mana attacks from all sides and was turned into a blood mist on the spot.

High in the sky, the gathering blue mist continued to explode, and the collapsing mana once again tore into pieces the land that had long been in ruins.

No one can clearly see what the greenery in the hollow is, but to everyone, the beads of spiritual liquid dripping down are real treasures for cultivation.

If we don't fight for it now, when Yun Shangzong gets the news and comes, they won't have anything to do.

Just as everyone was fighting for it, a high-pitched sword roar exploded, and the blue mist in the distance was shattered by a piece of golden sword energy, revealing thousands of sword lights.

The sword light circulated, forming a long river of sword energy, spinning towards the monks below the whirlpool hollow.

In the middle of the long river of sword energy, a golden long sword was like a glass jade, exuding a sharp edge that frightened everyone.

Even though no one was targeted, all the monks present felt frightened.

"Yun Shang Zong Haoyang Golden Light Sword!"

Some monks immediately recognized the sword.

As the overlord of the South China Sea, the Yunshang Sect has four third-level high-grade magic weapons inherited from the sect, and the Haoyang Golden Light Sword is one of them.

This sword is rumored to be made from the backbone of the third-order perfection demon beast Jinyang Fiery Beast as the main body, with the addition of third-order high-grade ore. It can be activated by the late-stage Jindan monks to bring out the combat power of the Jindan Dzogchen.

Coincidentally, the current sword master of the Haoyang Golden Light Sword is the late Jinjian Jinjian of the Yunshang Sect.

At this moment, the Haoyang Golden Light Sword, carrying thousands of sword energy, rotated and shattered all the mist and mana, and landed directly at the bottom of the whirlpool hollow, startling all the monks who were snatching it.

The Yunshang Sect is here, and the spiritual fluid beads are out of reach.

Under the sword energy, no one dared to accept this sword energy, which was comparable to the perfection of the golden elixir. Jin Jianzhen came with the sword energy, swung his sword to drive away dozens of contenders, and grabbed the spiritual fluid bead. Holding it in his hand, he looked at the monks around him with stern eyes.

"Why, you are not convinced?"

The Haoyang Golden Light Sword turned into a three-foot size, hovering around Jin Jian Zhenren like a golden dragon, and the sword energy he breathed made everyone tremble with fear.

"Fellow Taoist Jinjian's words are serious, how dare we disobey our sect."

Finally, someone couldn't bear the erosion of the sword energy and spoke.

Master Jin Jian ignored the monk who spoke and said calmly, "There are some things that you can't grasp, so don't think too much."
