Chapter 603 Dual Formation, Power of Four Images (Complete Chapter)
Five days later, deep in the Fuyun Mountains in the northwest of Yue Kingdom.
A ray of purple light flew over, landed on a deserted mountain, and turned into a purple speed car about two feet long.
He Mengxin, who was wearing a green Taoist robe, jumped off the flying car first. After glancing around, he saw that there was nothing unusual on the mountain wall in front of him, and then he put down a trace of worry on his face.
Song Qingming and Song Qingyu, who were wearing black hats, also jumped down and came to He Mengxin's side.
"Sister He, is the senior cave you found here?"
He Mengxin pointed to a steep and smooth mountain wall not far away, and said to Song Qingyu on the side: "That's right! The cave is located under that mountain wall. Judging from the situation, it should be at least a thousand years old.
The hidden formations outside the cave were also arranged very cleverly. If Senior Sister Xia hadn't been highly cultivated and proficient in formations at that time, it would have been extremely difficult for me to discover the clues. "
Following the direction pointed by He Mengxin, Song Qingming looked from a distance and faintly felt that there seemed to be traces covered by some formations on the top of the mountain wall.
"Building a cave in a place like this, and being able to avoid being found for thousands of years, shows that this person is indeed quite powerful. After this time passes, Qingyu, don't go in yet, wait until we are ready inside. !”
"Well! Don't worry, Brother Qi. I know how to protect myself and won't cause trouble to all of you." After hearing Song Qingming's careful instructions, Song Qingyu quickly nodded in response with a smile.
After He Mengxin and the others proposed to take Song Qingyu with them a few days ago, although Song Qingming was a little worried, he still took the initiative to seek Song Qingyu's opinion.
After all, He Mengxin and He Mengxin had already named each other, and they were only willing to take Song Qingyu with them, and would not accept other strange monks to go with them. If Song Qingming refused directly without asking, I'm afraid the two sides would have bad feelings again.
Besides, whether this matter can be done or not is related to Qingyu's personal path after all. Song Qingming couldn't force her to make the decision for her, so he took He Mengxin with him to ask Song Qingyu what he thought.
After knowing the purpose of He Mengxin's visit, Song Qingyu did not hesitate too much. He quickly agreed to the matter and followed a few people here.
For fear that they would be recognized by others when they met, Song Qingming and Song Qingyu tried their best to wear bamboo hats along the way to hide their true colors.
Fortunately, the group of people's journey here was relatively smooth. When they came around the Fuyun Mountain Range, they encountered a few low-level flying monsters harassing them, but did not encounter the high-level monster king and other golden elixir monks head-on.
Just as the three of them said a few words, Xia Mo, who was dressed in white and had a veil on her face, also landed lightly in the air, and then waved her hand to put away the purple speedster above their heads.
Seeing that Xia Mo's hand had transformed into a palm-sized flying car, Song Qingming also had a look of envy on his face.
Not only does this purple flying car look very exquisite, it is also a very rare third-level high-grade flying magic weapon in the world of immortality. Its flying speed is also far faster than Song Qingming's "Phantom Boat".
A few people took the flying car in Xia Mo's hands, and it took only three days to cross thousands of miles and arrive here. If it were Song Qingming's phantom boat, they would still be halfway there, and at least one or two more would be needed. It only takes a few days.
After putting the flying boat in his hand into the storage weapon, Xia Mo said hello to everyone, then turned into a ray of light and flew towards the mountain wall ahead.
Upon seeing this, Song Qingming and the others immediately followed her. In a matter of seconds, they arrived in front of the mountain wall they saw earlier.
After approaching the mountain wall, Song Qingming also clearly felt that here, a very pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth was constantly emerging from the mountain wall.
Seeing the scene of spiritual energy constantly leaking out, Song Qingming also guessed that it should be the result of the large formation in the cave being somewhat damaged by He Mengxin and the others.
Even if He Mengxin and the others had restored the hidden formation outside when they left, they still could not stop the spiritual energy from leaking out.
The place where this cave is located is not a particularly remote and far-reaching place. If the leakage of spiritual energy in the cave cannot be prevented, as the concentration of spiritual energy around it becomes higher and higher, even if no human monks discover this place, it will attract those high-level people. The demon king.
It is estimated that in a month or two at most, the secret here may not be able to be kept. No wonder He Mengxin and He Mengxin are so anxious to come here to help.
"There is such a strong spiritual energy here. It seems that there should be a high-level earth vein under this mountain." After feeling the surrounding spiritual energy, Song Qingming couldn't help but said softly.
He Mengxin immediately smiled and replied after hearing this: "What Taoist Song said is true, the formation here has been able to operate for thousands of years and its power has not weakened much. It must be supported by the spiritual energy of the third-level earth veins below.
The owner of the cave had also put a lot of thought into using a large formation to completely cover up the spiritual energy below. Coupled with the third-level concealment formation outside, this was able to keep this place unknown to outsiders for so many years.
To be honest, if there hadn't been a sudden glow of light in this place that day and someone happened to see it, I'm afraid we wouldn't have had such an opportunity to find this place so easily. "
"Haha! That's what Fellow Daoist He said. It's indeed a bit enviable that these two fellow Daoists have such an opportunity outside. It seems that they will travel a bit or two if they have the opportunity in the future. Maybe they will also have the opportunity to encounter such good luck. ." Song Qingming nodded slightly and sighed with envy.
"Qingyu, please keep this talisman. If you meet someone or a high-level monster approaches here, you don't need to be nervous. Just crush this talisman and we will know immediately."
Xia Moyu raised her hand, and a white talisman with a special look appeared in her hand immediately, and she handed it to Song Qingyu's hand.
"Thank you, Senior Xia!" After Song Qingyu took the talisman and put it away carefully, he slightly bowed his hand to Xia Mo, and then flew directly to the top of the mountain with his flying sword.
After Song Qingyu left, Xia Mo had a flash of light in his hand, and immediately another golden circular formation plate appeared, and he threw it directly into the air with a flick.
As Xia Mo cast a few gestures in his hand, the golden array in mid-air immediately emitted a burst of dazzling golden light, and then five rays of spiritual light shot out from it and directly illuminated the mountain wall in front of several people.
Seeing Xia Mo's familiar tactics of breaking the formation, Song Qingming's face showed a hint of surprise.
Not only was this woman very powerful and profound in cultivation, she was also a third-level formation mage whose formation skills were not weaker than her own. It was no wonder that she was able to discover something unusual in this place at that time.
To be honest, although he had met Xia Mo a few times and had dealings with her several times, Xia Mo, whose face was always covered by a veil, always gave Song Qingming the impression of being a little unpredictable.
After several meetings, Xia Mo took out magic weapons and spiritual objects. They were basically third-level high-grade spiritual objects that were very rare in the world of immortality. The magical powers and techniques he used were also quite good, far from those that Song Qingming had seen before. Golden elixir monks can compare.
Although Song Qingming had interacted with the two of them several times, he also knew that she and He Mengxin were both from a Nascent Soul sect in the world of immortal cultivation in the East China Sea, but Xia Mo's cultivation had just broken through the seventh level of the Golden Core and had not long entered the late Golden Core stage.
It is indeed hard to imagine that a seventh-level golden elixir monk could possess so many precious magic weapons and spiritual objects.
Even Yao Qianshu, the head of Xiaoyao Sect, may not be as rich as the woman in front of him. This really made Song Qingming surprised and envious, and also a little more curious about Xia Mo's identity.
Just when Song Qingming was still thinking about it, under Xia Mo's spell control, the formation disk above the heads of the three people suddenly became aura.
The five spiritual lights shining on the mountain wall quickly gathered in one place, and a somewhat dark circular hole slowly opened from the middle of the mountain wall.
Seeing that Xia Mo had opened the outer concealment formation, Song Qingming and He Mengxin looked at each other and immediately passed through the opened formation gap one after another and entered the mountain wall.
As soon as he landed, Song Qingming glanced around and immediately spotted a functioning formation from the corner of the cave.
Song Qingming stepped forward, took a closer look at the formation eye, flicked his sleeves and robes, and quickly flew out five array flags of different colors, landing in the open space around the formation eye.
Immediately afterwards, Song Qingming fired a burst of mana from both hands, instantly activating the five formation flags arranged on the ground. Then several rays of spiritual light intertwined with each other on the formation flags, firmly locking the formation in front of Song Qingming. of aura.
As the spiritual energy emanating from the formation's eye becomes thinner and thinner, the spiritual energy on the hidden array outside also becomes weaker and weaker, and it can no longer completely cover the entrance of the cave.
When Xia Mo outside saw this, he immediately put away the array disk in his hand, forced his way through the already weak array, and entered the cave.
As soon as they entered the cave, Xia Moyu gently raised her hand, and a blue jade box flew into Song Qingming's hands. It was the same jade box that she had taken out in front of Song Qingming before, which contained jasper true water.
"Fellow Daoist Song, since we are already here, I will give this to you first. I hope that when we break the formation together later, Daoist Daoist can help more."
After taking the jade box sent by Xia Mo and taking a look at the spiritual object inside, Song Qingming put it away with a satisfied look on his face, raised his hands to Xia Mo and the two beside him and said:
"Two fairies, don't worry. Since I have promised you, I will definitely not break my promise. Besides, I have already taken the risk to come here. I don't want to miss this opportunity."
Xia Mo nodded slightly, glanced at the formation eye that had just been locked by Song Qingming's formation flag, and then continued to say to Song Qingming:
"Fellow Daoist Song, let's open the big formation outside to cover this place first, so as not to make too much noise when we break the formation later, and attract those low-level monsters to enter this place by mistake and disturb us."
Song Qingming was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then he felt that it made sense, so he immediately cast a spell to put away the formation flags on the side, and restarted the formation at the door.
This cave is almost one foot high and five or six feet wide, enough for two people to walk side by side.
The three of them walked along the entrance of the cave. After walking a few dozen feet, the road ahead began to slope downwards. After walking for almost a cup of tea, a dazzling white light shield finally appeared in front of them.
Seeing the white light shield from a distance, Song Qingming immediately felt the powerful spiritual energy fluctuations coming from nearby. Judging from the situation, the thing in front of him should be the third-level high-grade magic circle that Xia Mo and the two mentioned before.
After reaching a position four or five feet away from the white mask, Xia Mo stopped first, then turned to Song Qingming who was walking behind and said:
"Fellow Daoist Song, this is the formation we need to destroy. The last time we tried this formation, we only destroyed less than 10% of the formation's runes, and we suffered an automatic backlash from the formation.
Apart from borrowing the four-image array and forcibly destroying the array eyes, I haven't thought of a better way yet. Fellow Taoist is also a person who is proficient in arrays. Why don't you take a look at the situation first and see if there is a better way to break the array. method. "
Seeing that the other party seemed to want to see the level of his own formation, Song Qingming did not speak politely. After a slight nod, he immediately stepped forward and began to study the formation in detail.
After looking at the incense carefully for about a while, Song Qingming sighed slightly with an unsightly look on his face, turned around and raised his hands to Xia Mo beside him and said:
"If I read it correctly, although this formation has a third-level top grade, it should only be a defensive formation and will not have too strong attack power.
When the two fellow Taoists broke the formation before, I guess the reason why they were attacked back by the formation was because there was a hidden offensive third-level formation behind the formation.
The two large formations should have been connected by people who were deployed, and merged into a double formation. As long as someone tries to forcefully break the outer formation, the other large formation inside will be triggered at any time, automatically attacking the broken formation. people.
Such a clever calculation must have been done deliberately by the owner of the cave. It seems that this person's formation level is not low, at least much better than mine. "
After hearing Song Qingming's analysis, Xia Mo's face covered by the veil showed a hint of surprise. After thinking for a moment, she asked softly:
"Since Fellow Daoist Song can see the clues behind this formation, does Fellow Daoist have a better way to break the formation?"
Seeing He Mengxin and Xia Mo staring at him seriously, Song Qingming looked slightly embarrassed and shook his head and said:
"With my level of formation, I can only barely see these clues. There is no other better way to break the formation. Although the four-image breaking method proposed by Xia Daoyou requires more effort, it is indeed our best solution at the moment. A good way to break the formation.
However, when we forcefully break the formation next, I'm afraid we will still be attacked by the large formation inside. It is best to take some countermeasures in advance to prevent anyone from being injured. "
Xia Mo thought thoughtfully for a moment, then nodded slightly and said: "Fellow Taoist reminds me, there is no need to worry about this matter. Although we failed to break the formation last time, we have already tested the level of the attack formation inside. It's not high, it should be just a third-level low-grade formation.
I also have a three-talent magic formation in my hand. In critical moments, I can concentrate the magic power of three people to jointly defend against the enemy. When the formation is broken, the three of you each hold an formation flag and look after each other, so there shouldn't be any big problem. "
Seeing that Xia Mo's tone was so confident, the Sancai Magic Array she was talking about must be at least a level three or higher magic circle. Song Qingming didn't say anything more when he saw this. He nodded silently and began to help her prepare to break the formation. matters.
After dealing with the other party several times, Song Qingming had already seen Xia Mo's wealth, and was not surprised that she could immediately come up with a set of high-level formations.
Song Qingming and Xia Mo were both third-level formation mages, and with He Mengxin assisting them, it took less than a day for the three of them to prepare everything to break the formation.
Afterwards, Song Qingming went out again, brought Song Qingyu in, and explained to her the four-image breaking formation method used by Xia Mo.
This four-image formation-breaking method is also a common formation-breaking method used by formation mages in the world of immortality.
It is somewhat different from the "method of stealing runes to break the formation" that Song Qingming used before. Although the method of breaking the formation with four images is a bit cumbersome in the early stage of preparation, it takes a lot of time.
However, the power used to break the formation is much more direct and powerful than the "method of stealing runes to break the formation". As long as you gather at least four people who meet the cultivation requirements to break the formation, you can break the third-level high-grade formation in front of you. The certainty is still very high.
However, to use this method to break the formation, you need to constantly adjust and control the power of the four images in the formation. In addition to having sufficient cultivation, the person who breaks the formation must also have some basic understanding of the formation.
The higher the overall formation level of the person who cooperates with the formation breaking method, the greater the power of the "Four Symbols Formation Breaking Method" will be.
Although He Mengxin and Song Qingyu's formation skills are not high, the presence of two third-level formation masters, Song Qingming and Xia Mo, is enough to make up for this shortcoming.
Song Qingyu and the others only need to understand the steps to break the formation in advance, and actively cooperate with Song Qingming and Xia Mo who are in charge of breaking the formation.
In addition to Song Qingyu, Song Qingming actually also has a golden elixir fighter, the corpse puppet Jin Feng who has been following him.
However, the corpse puppet is a puppet that has no self-consciousness. It can only instinctively obey the instructions given by its master, and cannot flexibly control more complex formations such as the "Four Elephant Formation Breaking Method".
Because of this, even if Jin Feng had the early stage of Jin Dan's cultivation, he could only stand at the exit of the cave and serve as a guardian when a few people broke the formation.
After arranging everything, Xia Moyu threw out three formation flags and placed them in the hands of Song Qingming and the others. Then she took out a golden pill and handed it to Song Qingyu who was standing aside.
"This elixir is an elixir refined with a unique secret method in our Baihua Palace. After a ninth-level monk takes it, within an hour, he can have no less power than a first-level golden elixir monk.
But you have to remember that this does not help you use the magical powers that only the Golden Elixir monks have. When you break the formation, if you encounter danger, you still have to rely on the Three Talents Formation Flag in your hand to deal with it. Do not rush to use your own magic power to fight against it.
Otherwise, the physical body of a foundation-building monk like you, as a foundation-building monk, will definitely be unable to withstand such a huge amount of magic power in the Golden Core realm. Once the magic power is improperly controlled, it may damage your physical meridians. You must remember this. "
"Thank you, senior, for reminding me. I already know this!" After hearing Xia Mo's careful instructions, Song Qingyu nodded seriously and then reached out to take the golden elixir in Xia Mo's hand with a cautious expression.
After Song Qingyu sat down and took the elixir, within a short time, she had already refined the elixir in her body, and her mana soon began to slowly increase.
It wasn't until half an hour later that Song Qingyu's magic power had almost reached the first level of the Golden Core, and it slowly stabilized.
"How's it going? Is Qingyu feeling unwell?" Seeing that Song Qingyu had put away his magic power and stood up, Song Qingming immediately stepped forward and asked.
Seeing that Song Qingming was a little worried, He Mengxin on the side quickly explained:
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Song. After taking this pill, you will only be weak for a period of time after the magic power is exhausted. There will be no other side effects."
When Song Qingyu heard this, he nodded slightly to Song Qingming, saying that there was nothing strange about him, which made Song Qingming feel relieved.
"Fellow Daoist Song, now that we are ready, let's start preparing to break the formation!"
After Xia Mo glanced at Song Qingyu, he saw that the mana on him had met the requirements to drive the four-image formation, so he immediately stood in front of him where a few formation flags were planted.
Seeing this, Song Qingming and the others quickly separated and came to the position they had predetermined to adjust their status.
Xia Mo, who was standing at the eye of the Qinglong Formation, raised his jade hand after activating the magic power on his body. A huge amount of spiritual power painted with many runes quickly gathered in the formation flag beside him.
This group of spiritual power flashed a few times above Xia Mo's head, and soon turned into a phantom of a blue dragon covered with runes.
"Fellow Taoists, it's your turn!"
As soon as Xia Mo finished speaking, Song Qingming, He Mengxin, and Song Qingyu also cast spells in their hands, and soon summoned the three phantoms of White Tiger, Suzaku, and Xuanwu.
After these three phantoms flew in the air for several times, they each shot a stream of spiritual power into the Qinglong phantom controlled by Xia Mo. The aura on their body was greatly enhanced, and the phantom transformed by the spiritual power became more solid. point.
Next, the azure dragon phantom controlled by Xia Mo turned its head directly towards the third-level high-grade magic circle not far away. A dazzling white light soon lit up where it touched.
This spiritually transformed green dragon phantom, after a fierce attack on Zhan Zhan, soon tore off many runes floating on the formation, instantly reducing the power of the formation by a few points.
However, after this attack, the aura on the green dragon became a little weaker. In less than a cup of tea, the aura on it became a little thinner.
Seeing that Qinglong's attack power was weakening, and the third-level high-grade formation had just been damaged a lot, the spiritual light on it was running rapidly, and it also began to slowly repair the lost runes on its own.
"Fellow Daoist Xia, it's my turn!"
