Daxuan Wusheng: Start by practicing and adding points

Chapter 423: Core Forbidden Area
Looking for the wood cave sky.

Center.

A trunk of unknown thickness stands between heaven and earth, as if it were a bridge between heaven and earth, connecting the world.

Surrounding this magnificent towering tree are many peculiarly shaped buildings, some of which appear to be very old, some even having a history of thousands of years. The closer to the tree, the older and more magnificent the buildings appear.

This is the core area of ​​Xunmu Dongtian and also the ancestral land of the spiritual people.

The ancestral land covers a vast area, no less than dozens of miles in radius. Those who can live here are not only the upper-class spirits with emerald skin, but also the nobles among the spirits, and even the most talented ones.

At this time, in the entire ancestral land of the spirit people, almost every household stayed indoors, and groups of people were constantly patrolling along the outermost edge of the settlement. The outermost edge of the settlement was a huge formation light curtain like an umbrella, covering the entire settlement. The power of this formation was far more powerful than any other large settlement.

"It's been so long, I don't know what the situation is like with the ancestor."

A leading spirit who was leading the patrol looked off in a certain direction in the distance and whispered.

"With the old ancestor and the new ancestor here, what are you worried about? What we should be worried about this time are those alien races from outer space. We don't know how many of them can survive the hands of the old ancestor and others."

A person nearby heard his words and grinned.

There is a reason why the two have different mentalities. He is from an upper clan who has lived in the core area under the Xunmu tree for generations. In the past thousands of years of war, the core area of ​​​​Xunmu Cave Heaven has never been threatened. No matter what the fighting is like outside, this place is as stable as a rock. In addition, a new spiritual ancestor has been born now, so he is naturally relaxed and comfortable.

The person who spoke first was able to enter the core area and survive thanks to his own ability. He was the only one, and his family and relatives still lived in settlements outside. Naturally, they were worried during such a great war.

The few people did not stop, but continued to patrol while talking.

suddenly.

A sharp-eyed person in the team immediately noticed the changes in the distance, and saw figures appearing and rushing towards this side. As time went by, more and more figures appeared, and they were actually a large number of their own people.

When this large group of fellows arrived nearby, the one leading them had a pale face, some blood at the corners of his mouth, and a turbid and uncertain breath. It was none other than the newly promoted Spirit Ancestor, Ling Ji!
"Cough...cough..."

Ling Ji coughed twice in succession, and a trickle of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth again, but he didn't care too much at this time. He forced himself to suppress it, and then passed through the light curtain of the formation with the one behind him.

When the patrolling team saw the state of Ling Ji and others, they all looked at each other in confusion.

"Ling, Master Lingzu, this is..."

The leader stepped forward and asked in a low voice, his face looking a little ugly.

Ling Ji did not say much in reply. After entering the inner side of the light curtain of the formation, he quickly went to the core forbidden area and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, be on alert, mobilize all the manpower, and prepare to fight."

As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared into the depths of the core forbidden area.

Ling Ji was very clear about the secret method that Ling Huan used. That method of forcibly absorbing the power of Xunmu and transforming himself into Xunmu was irreversible. Moreover, Ling Huan himself was old and was nearing the end of his life. There was no way he would survive after using that trick.

He didn't know how long Ling Huan could hold back Chen Mu and the others by using that forbidden method, and whether he could defeat Chen Mu and drag enough alien masters to take the blame. But he knew that as long as Ling Huan died, Chen Mu and the other aliens, as long as they were in a better condition, would definitely rush to the core area and attack their forbidden area!

The formation in the forbidden area is much more powerful than the one outside, but that is also the problem. If he had not been injured, he could still control it. But now he is seriously injured, and it is extremely difficult for him to control the formation in the forbidden area.

If he cannot control and dispatch it, then even if this formation is more powerful than those arranged in large settlements, its dispersed power will definitely not be enough to resist Chen Mu, so he must heal his wounds as quickly as possible, and mobilize all the manpower and strength of the Spirit Clan to block the offensive and buy time.

"This……"

Seeing Ling Ji disappear in the depths of the forbidden area, the patrolling Lingren people were all shocked.

After a brief delay, everyone finally came to their senses. Someone with a grim look on his face took out a wooden horn that was glowing with green light and blew a completely desolate sound that resounded throughout the core settlement of the spirit people.

soon.

A large number of spirit people began to gather.

There were a great number of spirit people in the Five Internal Organs Realm and even the Six Internal Organs Realm living in the core settlement, no less than a thousand in number. When they gathered together, they formed a huge team. However, most of them were still in shock, not knowing what had happened.

"what happened?"

"What happened."

As some people gathered together, they asked questions to others.

Without waiting for the order issued by Ling Ji to spread, all the gathered spirit people suddenly stopped moving, and they felt that the whole world suddenly became depressing, and an invisible breath of sadness spread across the entire sky.

Although the canopy of the giant Xunmu tree blocked the sky and the scene in the sky could not be seen, but when I looked up at the sky at this moment, I seemed to instinctively feel that the sky must be covered with dark clouds, and there was silence and depression.

"This……"

There were some older spiritual beings who felt the change in the energy between heaven and earth. After being startled for a moment, their faces changed drastically, and even their bodies began to tremble slightly.

According to the ancient books of the Spiritual People, when the ancestral realm fell, heaven and earth mourned together!
Looking at the entire Xunmu Dongtian, there are only two people who have reached the ancestral realm, the old spiritual ancestor Ling Huan who has ruled the spiritual race for thousands of years, and the new spiritual ancestor Ling Ji. Ling Ji has just returned with a serious injury, followed by an atmosphere of grief between heaven and earth. Naturally, only one thing can happen - Ling Huan fell!

The ancestor who ruled the spiritual race for thousands of years died!

After many spirit people realized what was happening, they all showed expressions of disbelief. Some people couldn't help but scream, "Impossible, this is impossible. How could the ancestor..."

Ling Huan.

That was the thousand-year-old ancestor of their Spirit People Clan, an absolutely invincible existence, how could he die? Even if the people who attacked from outer space were powerful, they would not be stronger than their ancestor. Even if they were besieged, it would be impossible for their ancestor to die!

For a time, many people couldn't accept it.

But not long after, the noisy scene suddenly became quiet, because a sudden breath appeared and quickly spread towards this side. This sudden breath tore through the oppression between heaven and earth.

I saw a figure walking towards this side in the vast wilderness. Although they were still very far away, every step they took seemed to have a clear sound of footsteps falling, hitting everyone's heart, accompanied by a terrifying oppression.

Step, step, step, Chen Mu walked with his hands behind his back. Every step he took covered a distance of hundreds of feet. In a short moment, he had arrived outside the core settlement of the spirit people, and was less than ten feet away from the spectacular light curtain of the formation.

Inside the light curtain of the formation, nearly a thousand middle-level spirit humans stared at Chen Mu across the formation. Despite such a large number of people, they only felt a chill spreading over them, which made everyone tremble for a moment and felt almost suffocated.

"He He……"

Someone spoke with a trembling voice.

Even though their realm cannot be considered high and they have not even reached the Marrow Cleansing Realm, they have lived in the core settlement for many years and have some experience. They can feel very clearly that the aura and oppression from Chen Mu are definitely not something that can be brought about by the Marrow Cleansing Realm.

That is the oppression of the ancestral realm!
Could it be that their spiritual ancestor fell at the hands of the man in front of them?

Some people had already had this thought in their minds, but before they could figure it out, they saw that Chen Mu had already taken action.

Chen Mu stood in front of the light curtain of the formation, and only briefly observed the formation of the core settlement for a moment. Then he took a step forward, suddenly arrived above the sky, and stepped towards the light curtain of the formation!
This kick was plain and ordinary, and it didn't even have any surging momentum, but when it landed, it caused the thick light curtain covering the core settlement of nearly a hundred miles to tremble violently!
It's like a stone falling into a calm pond, causing thousands of ripples!

Even though the terrifying power was blocked by the light curtain of the formation, the many spirit people below still felt almost suffocated, as if this kick was trampling on their bodies and was going to crush them!

Chen Mu, stepped into the formation with one strike.

Overwhelm the enemy!
"Don't panic, form a formation, form a formation!!"

Finally, someone looked at the light curtain of the formation that was under the terrifying oppression and was temporarily distorted, and forced himself to calm down and shouted loudly. Thousands of elite soldiers, led by a small number of spiritual masters, quickly connected their auras and gathered them into a formation.

"rise!"

With a command from the leader, a large amount of spiritual power gathered together and rushed towards Chen Mu in the sky.

Thousands of spirit people, plus the spiritual power of many masters, have gathered together. Although the degree of condensation is not high and it does not pose any threat to Chen Mu now, the fusion of that spiritual power with the light curtain of the formation is not awkward and can directly penetrate and even merge with each other.

"..."

Chen Mu's expression remained unchanged. He turned around calmly, avoiding the recoil of the impact that was converging and merging with the formation. He fell back to the bottom, then took action again and pointed out with one finger!
This finger was plain and ordinary, but after it fell, it was like an ancient god pointing a finger from the vastness, causing the thick light curtain of the formation to twist and sink, as if it was about to be torn apart!

Many spirit people were terrified.

But at this moment they all knew that they could not retreat, so they had to continue to gather their strength to fight back and block Chen Mu's attack.

And at the same time.

The core forbidden area of ​​the spirit race.

This is the tree hole at the very bottom of the Xunmu Holy Tree, leading to the center of the holy tree. In the depths of the tree hole, one can see a green pool of water. The water in the pool is filled with spiritual light, and it is all Xunmu spiritual liquid!
Ling Ji, whose face was a little pale, was sitting cross-legged beside the Xunmu Spirit Pond, absorbing the rays of light spreading from the Xunmu Spirit Liquid to heal his own injuries. The healing speed was not slow, but his injuries were too serious. The previous attack from Chen Mu had even damaged his internal organs.

Flesh wounds are easy to heal, and can even heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. Injuries to bones and muscles are not a big deal, but injuries to internal organs are more serious. Even with the support of the almost inexhaustible Xunmu Spirit Liquid, they cannot be healed in a short period of time.

Before Ling Ji had recovered for long, almost when he had just suppressed his injuries a little, the whole tree's heart suddenly began to glow with bright light and shook violently.

"Are you coming?"

Ling Ji's pale face looked a little ugly.

With his ability, he had naturally sensed the grief of heaven and earth a long time ago, and knew that Ling Huan had fallen. The one who was now attacking the formation must be Chen Mu. The other party had attacked and killed him almost immediately after Ling Huan's death.

Careless.

Too careless.

If he had not taken the initiative to fight Chen Mu at that time, but retreated to the rear and let Ling Huan fight Chen Mu, he would not have been seriously injured and suffered internal injuries by Chen Mu's single move.

And if he had not damaged his internal organs and was in his prime, he would be able to control and command the formation right now. Even if Ling Huan died, with the power of the formation in the core area and his command, it would not be impossible to stop Chen Mu. At least it would not be broken through in a short time. There is abundant wood spirit liquid here and the power of wood is inexhaustible, so there is no problem in maintaining a stalemate for a month or two.

Chen Mu and others can only stay in this world for a limited time, and when the time comes they must retreat.

But now.

He was seriously injured and his internal organs were damaged. Even if he managed to control the formation, he would not be able to hold on for long.

And Chen Mu obviously did not intend to give him time to heal.

"..."

Ling Ji took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, temporarily put aside the impact on his formation, continued to heal his injuries, and hoped that the people in the core settlement could temporarily stop Chen Mu and buy him some time.

However, this idea is obviously too optimistic.

About a quarter of an hour later.

hum! ! !
The spiritual light and spiritual patterns that permeated the forbidden area in the heart of the tree suddenly became agitated and flickered violently, indicating that the impact on the formation began to gradually intensify. In just a few moments, it had endured a much stronger attack than before.

Yan Hong, Jiang Han and many other masters have arrived!

Ling Ji opened his eyes again and looked at the core of the formation which had become extremely strained. Every inch of the spiritual pattern seemed to be struggling to support itself, as if it could not bear the weight. Finally, he sighed softly and raised his hand lightly. His own spiritual power spread out and connected with the spiritual patterns around him in an instant, connecting the Qi and the formation together.

Block!

This was his only thought now.

Judging from past wars, Chen Mu and his aliens will not be able to stay for more than half a month at most. As long as they can hold on for half a month, Chen Mu and his people will surely retreat, and then they will have held on!
As long as we can hold on this time, it will be fine.

A person like Chen Mu will definitely break through the ancestral realm when he returns to the outer world, and he will not be able to set foot in their world again after a hundred years. However, after more than a hundred years, he is expected to go one step further and reach the realm of Ling Huan, achieving the unity of man and nature. By then, he will no longer be afraid of enemies from the outer world, and will be able to continue to resist the conquest from the outer world.
