The Wonderful Way

Chapter 43 What happened to Xiyang
At night, the stars and the moon shine brightly, and outside a cave in Luqing Mountain, a little bit of soft light falls on the grass, illuminating the once lifeless land as holy.

After the four of Chu Miao expelled the smell of alcohol from their bodies, they rushed to Luqing Mountain without stopping.

In the world of cultivating immortals, each higher level of cultivation has a much higher level of spiritual power and fighting skills.

The later the monk, the greater the difference between each stage.

At the foundation-building stage and beyond, it is no longer divided into twelve layers, only the early stage, middle stage, late stage, and consummation.

Each stage is multiplied stronger than the previous stage, and it will be even more difficult to kill the enemy at that time.

Although Chu Miao can kill enemies two or three steps ahead, she is not a blind and arrogant person.

As long as she does one thing, she wants to make it as flawless as possible, so that people can take advantage of it.

Therefore, even though there were four people on her side and only two people on the other side, she still insisted on secretly setting up a series of formations outside the cave.

Recently, Chu Miao was also touched by exchanging experience with Pei Jue on formation techniques.

Because of his low cultivation base and no hope of advancing, Pei Jue has been studying formations for the next few decades, and his insights into first- and second-order formations are very subtle.

Let Chu Miao, who gave up halfway in her previous life and regained her formation in this life, has a lot of new ideas.

The formation method is also the same as the cultivation level. It is divided into nine levels. It is to follow the trend of nature and use the power of nature to attack or defend.

But formations are not a once-and-for-all means of attack. Among fighting techniques of the same level, formations can only be used as an auxiliary attack, and cannot kill the enemy all at once.

The ninth-order formations are Jiugong formation, Bagua formation, Seven-star formation, Liuhe formation, Five-element formation, Four-element formation, Sancai formation, Liangyi formation, and One-element formation.

The Jiugong Formation is a first-order formation, the easiest to learn, but if you want to master it, you need a lot of practice and calculations.

The Jiugong formation is mainly based on the Jiugong orientation, and the required array lottery is also a multiple of nine.

It includes various offensive and defensive and auxiliary formations such as maze, phantom, trap, killing, defense, soundproofing and so on.

The single formation method of Jiugong Formation is easier to set up or break the formation.

But if you want to combine two or more formations, it is the key to test the level of monk formations.

Every monk has his own opinion when learning the formation, and the method of comprehending the formation and taking advantage of it is different, so each monk has a different way of arranging the formation.

During the qi training period, monks have limited spiritual power and consciousness, and can only create the first-order nine palace formations, but they can learn the simple theory of the second-order eight trigrams formations.

After discussing with Pei Jue, Chu Miao and Pei Jue set up the strongest first-order formation in the open space outside the cave.

Combining the maze, trap, and killing formations together, connected to the power of the earth, makes this formation require a lot of spiritual power to break through.

As long as those two evil cultivators entered it, it would be very difficult to get out of the formation unscathed.

Chu Miao and Pei Jue exhausted their whole body's spiritual power and their spiritual consciousness to deploy such a wide-ranging combination formation.

On top of the formation that he set up, he roughly imitated the second-order formation that Xiexiu set up before. Although it is only an appearance, as long as it can be concealed for a while.

After the deployment, the two were sweating profusely, as if they had been fished out of the water, but seeing that the formation was both secret and powerful, they didn't care about their own consumption.

Gu Nianning and Mu Xiaodie saw that the sky was completely dark, and they had no spiritual power to resist, so they quickly let them enter the cave to meditate to recover.

After waiting outside the cave for about a stick of incense, Chu Miao walked out of the cave refreshed and recovered to her peak state.

When Pei Jue also came out, there were still no traces of the two evil cultivators in the mountain. The four of them watched the sky was about to light up, and thought that they might not be able to wait tonight.

After the four agreed to take turns to keep watch, they each went into the cave to rest.

In the later stage of Qi refining, food and sleep are no longer as necessary as before, but Chu Miao and the others are only in their teens, so it is not good for the body to sleep or eat at all.

After staying in the cave for two days, the four of them were bored. They ate all the hares and fruits around them, and they almost didn't poke the honeycomb to steal honey.

On the night of the third day, Chu Miao finally found out that there was movement five miles away, and immediately put everyone on alert.

The crowd didn't think deeply about why Chu Miao's spiritual sense could see so far, and when they heard that finally the evil cultivator arrived, they immediately scattered in the grass to hide.

Before the two approached, Chu Miao and the others heard Lanyi Xixiu's complaint, "It's really unlucky for him, mother, I haven't gained anything after searching for so long, how can I make a job?"

Huiyi Xiexiu was also a little unwilling, "If we don't get 40 people together this time, I'm afraid it will be really bad luck."

As he spoke, he glared at Lanyi Xiexiu, "It's not all about you. If you hadn't secretly used those six or seven introductions, why would you be searching so hard?"

Lanyi Xiexiu smiled, "I'm in a hurry to advance, who knows I didn't rush up, and I won't do it next time!"

A burst of screams pierced the tranquility of Luqingshan, and there was a burst of murderous blood in the open space, and Xiexiu in blue was pierced through the right abdomen by the sword light in the formation.

The evil cultivator in gray immediately sacrificed a banner-shaped magic weapon, and a black and red aura enveloped the two of them. The evil cultivator in blue also reacted and continued to attack the formation.

The evil cultivator in blue seems to be the one who set up the formation at the entrance of the cave in Xiyang County, and his formation skills are not weak, and he quickly found the formation eye.

"Attack there, that's the formation eye!" Xiexiu in blue yelled at Xiexiu in gray while attacking the formation's eye with a glowing red pen-shaped magic weapon.

Just when the two felt that the formation was about to be broken, they suddenly saw that the scene in front of them changed, and the place they attacked had become an open space, not the opening of the formation.

"Combined formation, there is a maze within this formation," Lanyi Xiexiu immediately reacted, and shouted to the outside of the formation, "I don't know which fellow daoists my brothers have offended, you dare to show up and see."

Seeing that there was no movement outside the formation, Lanyi Xiexiu sneered, "No matter which fellow Taoist it is, I'm afraid I can only stay here today! Look at me breaking the formation!"

After speaking, the pen in his hand became bigger inch by inch, Lanyi Xiexiu threw the pen into the air, closed his eyes and kept using his spiritual sense to detect the location of the eye of the calculation formation in the formation.

Seeing this, Xiexiu Huiyi strengthened the input of spiritual power, causing Xiaofan to churn with blood, resisting most of the attacks of the formation.

A moment later, Huiyi Xiexiu's spiritual power was almost exhausted, and he was hit by several sword lights and was injured. He shouted at his companion who was still calculating: "Hurry up! I can't hold it anymore!"

The evil cultivator in blue clothes consumed a lot of spiritual power to support the magic weapon to attack the formation, and at the same time consumed a lot of consciousness, and suffered a lot of injuries on his body.

Just when he was about to lose his strength, he suddenly saw something different on the ground, he recklessly controlled it and shot straight into the ground, only to see that the attack was reduced by half immediately.

Seeing that this was effective, the evil cultivator in blue kept attacking the eye of the formation forcefully, and the formation finally collapsed after persisting for a quarter of an hour.

As soon as the two talents came out, they saw a string of Buddhist beads flying straight towards the top of their heads.

The evil cultivator is most afraid of these things related to Buddhist practice, but because he has almost exhausted his spiritual power and consciousness in the formation, he has no resistance at all, and is firmly suppressed by the Buddhist beads.

At the same time, a pair of jade rings flew over, one on each side ensnared the two of them, making them unable to move.

Lanyi Xiexiu's face was contorted with anger, and he wanted to curse, but just as he opened his mouth, a burst of white light flashed across his mouth.
Before he opened his mouth wide, his head fell to the ground together. The last thing he saw before losing consciousness was his companion with his head and body separated.

The talisman in Pei Jue's hand hadn't been thrown yet, and he was still in the posture of about to strike. Seeing that the three quickly solved it, he had to put away the talisman in embarrassment.

Looking at the two people on the ground whose head and body were separated, Pei Jue sighed: "The three senior sisters are so fast, this person has not even said his last words before he died."

Gu Nianning put away the storage bags of the two evil cultivators, and said, "A Miao's saber technique is not a joke, it would be strange if he didn't cut off his head with one knife."

Chu Miao flicked a fireball to burn the corpse of the evil cultivator into ashes, then wiped away the traces of the formation, and roughly restored the open space before stopping.

Finally, the only problem here was resolved, and the four of them relaxed and returned to the palace unhurriedly.
