ah?The palace fighting system can also cultivate immortality

Chapter 178 Customized Array
"What it is?"

Shenshui asked in doubt.

Obviously, everyone saw the same thing this time. The monster's twisted limbs were as slender as resilient hemp ropes twisted together, and it was unexpectedly powerful. Every strike made the barrier set up by Jiuqing tremble.

"Is it...calling Master?" Shanshui looked at Du Xinghe, as if he had thought of a horrible possibility, and quickly added: "The spirits in the forest will imitate the speech of travelers, and the bear monster is the most proficient in this. Master, please don't be fooled."

Everyone present heard it clearly...

The monster was calling Du Xinghe's name.

"Is everything okay? My barrier won't last long." Among the four people, it was Shu Jiuqing who spoke first to break the silence.

Through a transparent barrier, everyone could clearly see the appearance of the monster and could also feel the ominous aura coming from it.

Xinyue glanced over and said, "So?"

Shu Jiuqing: "Whether to fight or retreat, we must decide as soon as possible."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the sound of a sword being unsheathed.

"I'll give it a try."

……

Du Xinghe walked out of the ruined temple, and the sword energy emanating from the Xue Ming sword immediately attracted the monster's attention.

It slowly turned its head, and its originally dark face changed, revealing Rakshasa's face.

"Open the door, open the door," it said.

"What's wrong with calling my name?"

Cross the galaxy to see it.

The slender figure, with Luoshaya's facial features, walked towards her tremblingly. With every step he took on the ground, the energy that overflowed made the grass wither and die: "Sister Xinghe..."

It waved its long arms and attacked Duxinghe.

Her expression remained calm, and the sword rose from her loosened hand, blocking her arm.

This blocking move completely aroused the slender shadow's desire to attack, and the black mist rushed towards Du Xinghe. Under Shu Jiuqing's nervous gaze, a sword formation consisting of dozens of swords rose up around her, and the sword formation revolved around her body. With one spiritual power shock after another, the mist spewed out by the monster was completely dissolved.

"Sister Xinghe..." the monster called hoarsely.

Was it the thing behind the door that turned Luoshaya into this horrible state?

Du Xinghe frowned.

In Liuyang Mansion, she had seen people who pursued power turn themselves into monsters, but still retained their sanity and were able to have normal conversations. They also knew how to use brotherhood to get their younger brother to help them lure monks in as food.

The reason why the group of people from the Huanling Sect walked into the door was not because they were expecting power that did not belong to them, but because they were deliberately deceived by the door.

"Rakshasa?" she asked softly.

In a flash, Du Xinghe's feet paused. It turned out that the monster saw that it could not break through her defense from the front, so it spread black roots from the ground, approached her and swung it violently. She reacted very quickly, but the roots still rubbed her arm hard, penetrated her body's protective qi, and abraded large areas of her skin, and she was bleeding instantly.

The roots absorbed her blood and instantly expanded by two inches.

"Sister Xinghe."

The monster's voice suddenly changed.

The originally hoarse and ethereal voice suddenly solidified and became very close to the voice of Luoshaya in Du Xinghe's memory.

Sweet, lively, and full of admiration.

"What's wrong? Does my blood still have a throat-soothing effect?"

Du Xinghe's sword split into three parts and cut off the monster's roots: "If you want to gain my sympathy, then you are wrong. I don't have any extra emotions towards any evil spirits."

She said lightly, the flesh on her arm turned over, but her face was calm and composed.

The three people watching knew that this monster was no match for the master, and the master had obviously shown mercy before.

Shu Jiuqing whispered, "Then doesn't the master still sympathize with her?"

"Keep your voice down," Shenshui hushed her, "This is our master's tough talk."

The monster's roots had been cut off and thicker branches grew out again. It attacked her while saying intermittently, "Someone tell Sister Xinghe... not to open the door! Don't come over!"

After saying this, the monster's face changed again.

Du Xinghe also recognized this face. Not long ago, the owner of this face smiled and told her that her junior sister Luo was talkative and lively, and hoped that she had not caused any trouble for her.

And this monster, facing the face of Yin Ranran, the senior sister of Huanling Sect, said -

"Send Junior Sister out!"

"hurry up!"

"Change into fog! Change quickly!"

With a clear voice, he suppressed his panic and tried desperately to send his junior sister out the door.

……

After listening to the two speeches of the monster in front of him, Du Xinghe understood two things.

First, the monster was not transformed by Rakshasa.

It just imitated what the disciples of Huanling Sect said before they died.

Before Luoshaya was killed, she still wanted to pass on the message, telling Du Xinghe not to come to the fog cave.

And the second thing -

"I take back what I said before. I have no extra feelings towards demons."

The snow-colored sword edge suddenly brightened everyone's eyes.

From the time she spoke to the time the slender figure was torn into pieces, it seemed like only a breath had passed.

When the monster's flesh and blood fell to the ground with a thud, Shu Jiuqing remembered that he could exhale.

No one knew where this monster came from, and Du Xinghe didn't have an "Encyclopedia of Demons" at hand. He only saw its head fall to the ground and roll. It still wanted to open its mouth to speak, but the female voice had just uttered one syllable when an icicle spread from the tip of the sword dragged on the ground across the ground and froze the part where it made the sound.

"laugh."

Du Xinghe did not sheath his sword, but instead tapped the soft ground lightly with the tip of the sword again.

The sword energy spread out, like the divine consciousness extended to the extreme, to gather information for her.

All the spiritual beasts that could breathe rushed towards her as if controlled by a mysterious force. A monk flying on a sword looked down from the sky and saw the violent beasts under the moonlight, like a thousand-foot-high wave, one after another!
Among them, there are many spiritual beasts, which are rodent-like spiritual beasts that usually live underground.

Their eyes are red and they are surrounded by wisps of black mist.

If there were only one or two, or even ten or dozens of them, any Foundation Establishment cultivator could wipe them out.

But how many are there? Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands?
Du Xinghe raised his eyebrows slightly

"come over!"

The three people in the ruined temple came out. Xinyue wanted to pretend that she couldn't fly with a sword, but when she saw her master's cold expression, she drew her sword obediently and flew into the sky with Shenshui.

Seeing the huge black mass of rats below, the three of them felt their scalps tingle.

Crossing the galaxy calmly——

Are you stupid? She can fly!
The rats gathered on the ground, climbed up the pillars of the ruined temple, and soon reached the top of the temple.

The next moment, the change occurred again.

The first round of rats that came to the roof of the temple crouched down, allowing countless of their kind to press on their backs. The rats at the bottom were quickly crushed to death, their organs squeezed out and connected into one piece, and their blood dripped down along the eaves.

L……

A bloody rain flowed over the golden body of the Buddha, seeped through the floor and fell into the mud.

However, this sacrifice is still meaningless.

All they need to do is fly away. The rat tide can play Jenga here all their lives but will never be able to catch up with the monks who fly with swords.

However, a few breaths later, Du Xinghe and his group heard the intensive beating sounds again.

——It was the roar of tens of thousands of flying beasts flapping their wings in sync.

If the butterfly effect refers to the flapping of wings at this frequency, then Du Xinghe believes that it can definitely trigger a tornado.

Cross the galaxy and look up.

The bats that had been chasing Xinyue under the guidance of the beastmaster were now intertwining with other bird spirit beasts in the sky, with waves of sound surging and covering the sky. From time to time, bats or birds with weaker bodies were squeezed and fell from the sky to the ground.

This loss is of no concern to the beast tide.

The three of them looked up in panic.

A huge shadow enveloped them in a net-like manner. Du Xinghe said calmly, "This time it looks a bit more realistic."

Du Xinghe's calmness made her a reassurance to the three of them again.

"Master, what should we do now?"

Shen Shui asked.

Du Xinghe remained calm and collected. At this moment, he was escaping to the north on his sword while typing her palace fighting system.

Du Xinghe: [System!!! System!!! Someone is rebelling and the enemy is at the gates of the city. Is there any way to save my life and the lives of my children? It would be best to hide us so that we can wait for rescue.]

It was obvious that this was not a situation she could handle alone.

How vast is the entire Ten States Secret Realm? She could clear out the rats and birds at the same time, but I'm afraid that as long as it's within the Secret Realm, the spirit beasts from other states will slowly flock over. The fog cave in the sky was created by a Jindan or higher level person, which is very strange.

Du Xinghe believed that the people of the Immortal Alliance would not watch the remaining contestants face threats beyond their capabilities and do nothing.

Even if the Immortal Alliance doesn't care, what about the Nine Yang Sect? What about the Ji Family?
Those who can survive to the last day and not have their heart-protection amulets destroyed are all top-notch experts!
However, Shu Jiuqing did not blindly trust his master's words.

Although Du Xinghe spoke calmly just now, she also said that she had not learned many large-scale spells. In addition, with the overwhelming number of spirit beasts rushing over, the fog hole in the sky was like a huge upside-down eye, quietly watching all living things. She suggested: "There is another way to leave the secret realm, that is to use the heart-protecting amulet to teleport out. We can try it and see if it works."

"If the Heart Protection Talisman is activated, it means you have given up the qualification for the second round of the Immortal Alliance Competition. Besides, you are not sure that you will be sent out. If the Immortal Alliance is still reliable, we would have left the Ten States long ago," Xinyue objected and paused for a moment. "Even if you try it on yourself, I will stop you. Since you have become my disciple, your ranking also represents my master's reputation."

"I'm just not sure, so I want to verify it in advance." Shu Jiuqing said.

Shen Shui looked terrified.

His sister lacked experience in socializing with others, so her tone of voice was inevitably cold and harsh, and she could easily arouse the anger of others with just a few words. However, Shu Jiuqing was also a strange person. She ignored Xinyue's cold tone and talked about the matter at hand: "Aren't there many cultivators in the secret realm? We can use others to try."

When she heard that they were not testing their own people, Xinyue's eyebrows relaxed:
"What you said makes sense. I'll go catch one and try it later."

"Okay, okay. I'll leave it to you, Senior Sister."

As long as he can achieve his goal, Shu Jiuqing doesn't care about other people's doubts in the process.

She clearly felt that she was the weakest in the group.

Shujiuqing wanted to save her life and to make further progress. If a weak person wants to achieve his goal, he should not care too much about the posture and process - besides, her new senior sister was clearly a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. At this moment, she turned away silently, feeling so guilty that she was about to burst out.

At this time, the palace fighting system replied coldly: [The change of imperial power does not affect the host's palace fighting. It is recommended that the host take down the rebel leader. ]

Not only did she get advice, she was also given a bunch of items to improve her beauty.

Yes, the palace fighting system doesn’t care who is the emperor.

It can even accept the empress ascending the throne. There are pills in the mall that can make women fertile, allowing her to gain an advantage in the empress's harem and become the first concubine who can give birth to a child for the empress.

Du Xinghe had no choice but to change his statement: [I was caught cheating, help me hide. ]

The palace fighting system was silent for a moment: [How many people have caught the host committing adultery? ]

Du Xinghe looked up at the huge army of land, sea and air forces chasing after him: [Several million.]

The palace fighting system fell into a brief silence again:
[The person you committed adultery with…]

Du Xinghe: [This is not much, two people plus a monkey. ]

Even though it is a system without human emotions, it can't help but ask a question: Why are there monkeys here?

Du Xinghe's words almost awakened the system's emotions, ushering in the second intelligent machine crisis.

After a moment of calculation, the system pushed out the corresponding products.

[Invisibility Talisman]: As the name suggests, after using this talisman, no one can see your body for one hour, but they can still touch you. You can hide anywhere you like.

This is not reliable.

Du Xinghe was not sure what the spirit beast relied on to track him. Simply disappearing visually was not of much use in the world of immortal cultivation.

[Forgiveness Makeup]: After putting on this makeup, others will be more likely to forgive the mistakes you make. There was a host who wore this makeup and improved the punishment of being executed along with all nine clans into being beheaded in a vegetable market.

[Guide Pigeon]: Why can others run into the emperor when they get lost in the palace, but you can only run into insignificant palace maids and eunuchs? It's not that you don't work hard enough, it's that you lack a guide pigeon! It will lead you to the right direction.

【Goodbye, I'm going to the second dimension】: If the above items are too late to help you, then you may need a place to hide. Go through this door, it will provide a space in another dimension, you and your cheating partner can stay in it for twelve hours, but no family planning supplies are provided, please pay attention to civilized and healthy behavior.

Du Xinghe quickly purchased the last two items.

The price of [Goodbye, I'm going to the second dimension] is very high. Fortunately, she has not relied on the palace fighting system for a long time and has accumulated a lot of points - even so, it has consumed most of her palace fighting points, but she can't care about that at the moment.

"Listen, I have a magic weapon that will allow us to stay inside safely for twelve hours to think about countermeasures."

"If the reinforcements haven't arrived after twelve hours, I'm afraid we'll really have to find a way to get through the fog cave on our own."

Du Xinghe pressed his toes to increase the speed of his sword, leaving the beast tide behind in an instant.

After temporarily leaving the beast tide behind and buying some breathing space, she spoke to the three of them.

"We listen to Master!"

Shenshui agreed without hesitation.

"Master actually has a magic weapon that can allow people to enter space?" Shu Jiuqing was surprised.

The storage ring cannot store living people. Preserving living things and dead things are two very different levels of difficulty.

Du Xinghe nodded: "I don't take it out easily."

She exchanged for "Goodbye, I'm going to the second dimension", and her hand felt slightly heavy, but not too heavy.

Because it is a piece of cloth.

No, to be precise, it is a white silk.

When he turned it over, the instructions for use appeared in Du Xinghe's mind - throw one side of it over the beam, tie a firm knot with the hanging part, and then put your head over, and you can reach the refuge space.

Crossing the Galaxy:...

Du Xinghe reasonably suspected that the palace fighting system was making fun of her and had evidence.

I dare say she was given a three-foot-long white silk!

The price of white silk is too expensive!

Wouldn’t it have the same effect if you gave her a hemp rope?
Du Xinghe was furious, but now she could only trust the system. Fortunately, tall trees could be seen everywhere in the Ten States. She randomly found a particularly thick branch, threw the white silk on it, and after tying a knot, the originally snow-white cloth began to glow faintly.

Not far behind him was an endless army of spirit beasts.

"Everyone go in!"

Du Xinghe put the head covering over her first. Before the white silk reached her chin, she was sucked over by a mysterious force and fell to the floor in another place.

Three people followed closely behind.

At the moment before the entrance to the white silk closed, a thunderbird rushed in and got stuck in the middle of the white silk. It struggled hard and finally broke free from the restraints.

All the spirit beasts seemed to have lost their target and started wandering and patrolling nearby.

"Huh...huh..."

Xinyue was the last one to come in and was sitting on the ground trying to adjust her breathing.

The situation just now was urgent and there was no time to sort the order.

Xinyue directly stuffed Shujiuqing in first, then kicked Shenshui over, then turned around and blew two pieces of "Mystical Sound" to control all the spirit beasts for three seconds, thus buying time for her to come over safely.

There were too many spirit beasts, and she had to fight for three seconds from them, which consumed a lot of her spiritual energy. Her face was pale as gold paper, and she couldn't utter a word.

Xinyue believed that this was the best solution at the time.

"Senior sister, drink some water."

Shenshui took out the kettle from the storage ring and gave his senior sister some water.

Xinyue grabbed the kettle and drank from the spout.

"Slow down, slow down, Senior Sister, don't choke."

Du Xinghe stood up and observed the space provided by the system.

This is a room in an ancient palace. There is no decorative furnishing, only a bed, and the door is locked. It only serves a decorative purpose and cannot be pushed open to open.

And from the beam in the middle of the room hung a knotted hemp rope.

Obviously, this is the real exit.

Du Xinghe felt that this object was full of malice towards her, as if it was the system's final protest against her unconventional palace fighting.

But she has never had any taboos.

Shenshui stared at the hemp rope for a moment and couldn't help but say, "Master's space magic weapon looks exactly like the hemp rope that Xiaoyunshan Village used to hang himself! Isn't this shape a bit unlucky?"

"What's unlucky about this? I think it's quite auspicious. Everyone here has a cultivation base above the Jindan stage. Even if you hang yourself for ten hours, you may not be able to break our protective qi. You don't even need to breathe. After a day of fighting in the Immortal Alliance Competition, you came back to the house and saw the three-foot white silk prepared by your master. It's not something that ordinary masters can experience. You must cherish it."

Du Xinghe sat on the bed and said lightly.

Everyone else sat on the floor, leaving the only bed for the master.

"It can accommodate four people... What an advanced space spell..."

Shu Jiuqing didn't care about the appearance of the magic weapon at all. She was only interested in the spiritual power circuit of the magic weapon. Unfortunately, she couldn't figure out what it was after searching everywhere.

Shenshui was puzzled: "Four people are considered advanced? But I think the Medicine King Realm can accommodate more people?"

"The Medicine King Realm, you mean the one from the Alchemy Conference, right? It is said that the Medicine King Realm is used to transport alchemists to another place. It only serves as a transmission medium, but this is also speculation from the outside world... Items like that often require multiple powerful people to invest spiritual power to activate. Unlike Master's, I have hardly seen Master activate it by injecting spiritual power into it, which shows how advanced and powerful its design is."

Her eyes revealed her fascination with academics.

No matter what, at least they had a chance to catch their breath. Shu Jiuqing pretended to be optimistic and said, "Although we don't know what caused the spirit beast tide, generally speaking, spirit beast tides don't last more than a day. Maybe after we get out, the situation won't be so bad."

Xinyue put down the kettle and looked at her master.

Du Xinghe recalled the scene just now. The three of them were being chased and could only hide. However, she, who was the first to notice the beast tide, clearly felt it...

Those spirit beasts were clearly coming for her.

Perhaps they would be safer if she left them behind.

Du Xinghe spoke his guess without any hesitation: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not thinking you're in the way, nor am I trying to test who is loyal to me. I'm just stating a fact - that evil spirit and the beast tide are coming for me. I seem to have offended the door above the fog cave."

"If the beast tide wants to harm Master, it will first step over my dead body." Xinyue said.

Du Xinghe suspected the literacy campaign in the underground palace, and Xinyue's so-called reading was actually the romance novels that Ying Cangdi usually liked to read.

His speech starts to sound a bit like the affectionate second male lead.

"Is there any difference between coming for the master and coming for us? They are the same." Chanshui also said.

Du Xinghe didn't need to guess what their responses would be.

Ask again, just to give them the choice every time.

No one has to be bound to anyone for life, but they want to follow her, so she lets them go. Du Xinghe turned to look at Shu Jiuqing, and before she could speak, he said, "As long as you teach me spells and formations, you don't have to follow me and risk your life."

Shu Jiuqing: "Didn't you just say that I can't betray you?"

Hearing this, Xinyue's expression changed: "You really are not loyal to your master..."

Du Xinghe raised his hand and signaled her to be quiet.

"If you want to separate from me when you encounter danger, it doesn't count as betrayal."

"Unless you kick me twice before you leave."

The sword spirit interrupted, "Because your master likes to rush to wherever there is danger, and not every cultivator is as difficult to kill as her."

Du Xinghe wanted it to be quiet as well, but since Xue Ming didn't have a mouth, he had to give up.

The pure heart tied to the waist of the water was thoughtful.

Du Xinghe became friends with it, could it be because it is difficult to kill?
Du Xinghe analyzed all the interests to Shu Jiuqing, and she also believed that the other party could fully understand what she meant - this was not a test of loyalty, and their relationship was not good enough for them to entrust their lives to each other because of the two conversations, she was just giving her a choice.

Shu Jiuqing reminded her: "You are a Jindan Zhenren, you don't have to respect me."

You don't want to face danger with him?
Then kill the deserter before the danger comes.

This is also what Venerable Yuanming did to all his followers.

“I don’t want to live and die with Jindan Zhenren. I just formed a Jindan not long ago, and I probably won’t be able to break through to Jindan in this lifetime. If the spirit beast tide is really coming for Zhenren, I really don’t want to die here for him, but…”

Shu Jiuqing turned her wrist and poured out all the formation drawing tools she bought in the second-hand market from the second-hand storage ring on her finger: "Aren't you my master? I don't have the habit of running away without my master. I only have experience collecting corpses for my master... Isn't it just a beast tide! Large-scale killing spells are my comfort zone! How can I teach you in just one day? You must bring me with you. Master only needs to be responsible for injecting spiritual power to activate the formation!"

Paper, pen, ink, inkstone and other materials used for support fell to the ground with a crash.

Du Xinghe smiled faintly:
"Well, if I die, remember to collect my body."

Shujiuqing let out a groan.

She just told a cheesy joke about her own experience just to lighten the mood.

Unexpectedly, Xinyue continued, "Then I want to be buried with Master."

Shujiuqing: “Ah?”

It was a bit sudden that he was asked by his master and his sister to collect his body right after he became a disciple, but Shu Jiuqing accepted it readily and turned to look at Shen Shui: "Brother, do you want to be buried together too? Or where do you want to be buried?"

Shenshui looked at her hesitantly: "Junior sister, can I not die?"

Shu Jiuqing: "Yes, I don't want to die either, so come and study it carefully for me——"

She ground ink and picked up a brush, then drew a small magic circle on the ground, and asked the three of them to take turns dripping blood in the middle of the circle.

"Only medium and small ready-made magic arrays are available on the market. Large magic arrays used to protect the sect's forbidden areas or to fight against large numbers of enemies must be customized by array painters to accurately achieve the desired effect. One point more or one point less spiritual power will not work. This is a small magic array used to detect the composition of your spiritual power."

Xinyue was the first to drop a drop of blood.

When her blood spread in the magic circle, the originally black magic circle turned into a very deep sea blue.

"Such pure water spirit, a little too pure, it's hard to mix."

After the ginseng water dripped, the magic circle turned into a slightly purple red.

Shu Jiuqing was puzzled: "Huh? Why is it purple? You don't have any lightning spirit... Wait, are you really a human? Do your ancestors have close relatives of the demon race?"

Her expression was like that of a doctor who, when doing a urine test on a patient in the hospital, found that the patient did not have enough urine, so he added a few drops of dog urine into the test.

Looking at the test results, is this still a human being?

Shenshui touched the back of his head, and after obtaining his master's approval, he told his junior sister the whole story.

I felt a little distressed for a moment.

She had never drawn a magic circle with monkeys, but she could try.

It was Du Xinghe's turn to bleed. Her blood merged into the magic circle and changed into five colors in turn.

Shu Jiuqing looked up in astonishment, more surprised than when he learned that Shenshui was a monkey monster:
"Master, you also have five spiritual roots!?"

I felt a little uncomfortable yesterday and took a day off! Today I am back to full health! I am also a diligent little bird with 7000 words~
