Chapter 742 A difficult decision
After these words came out, the three demon cultivators were still full of doubts, but the expressions of several human cultivators gradually became solemn.
Indeed, according to the ancient books, this so-called "Nine Palaces Gate of Life and Death" is not only the door of the mausoleum but also a formation, with a total of eight gates: opening, resting, birth, injury, stop, scenery, death, and shock.
It is said that in ancient times, there was a master of formation who suddenly realized the celestial phenomena at night and deduced the formation of a great evil with the method of Qiankun Bagua. He could use the Nine Palaces Mysterious Gate to determine life and death, and thus gained this illustrious reputation.
The reason why it has such a great reputation is that this formation is different from ordinary formations. It not only contains the energy of killing, trapping, illusion, and prohibition, but also has infinite and unpredictable changes.
And there is no need to supply it with the power of spirit stones. As long as the formation is cleverly placed on the spirit vein, it can continuously absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and maintain spontaneous operation for many years.
In this way, if you want to break this large array, you must either find the hidden eye of the array, or you can only force a strong attack and drain the vast spiritual veins below.
But this method is nothing but a fool's dream for a Jindan cultivator! Even an ordinary Yuanying stage strongman may not have such a great means.
At least in Qin Tian's impression, the only one who can be sure of such strength is probably the "Qinglian Sword Immortal" who can split the ground for a hundred miles with his sword energy!
Because of this, if you can't force the array to break, you can only choose one of the eight portals on the stone platform in the center to enter the array space safely.
If you are lucky enough to enter the life gate, you can naturally pass through the array safely. Even if you enter the other portals, you can still have a chance of survival as long as you are careful.
But if you are unlucky and choose the death gate, you will have to face the terrifying chain killing array, and you can only leave it to fate and wish for good luck.
The most important thing is that once someone starts to break through the formation, if they cannot pass through the formation within the specified time, the internal formation will automatically operate and constantly change between the eight gates.
In short, if the delay is too long, even the life gate may become the death gate!
Even once you enter the stone platform of the middle gate, the formation has been completely activated, so it is now a luxury to want to exit.
It is precisely because of the various characteristics of the "Nine Palaces Life and Death Gate" that this formation has been famous and powerful in the world of immortal cultivation since ancient times.
It is no exaggeration to say that if the life gate is closed in advance, the power of this formation is so strong that it is absolutely more than enough to be used as a protective formation for a large force.
However, Tianfeng Daojun, who has now passed away, has set up such a high-standard formation outside the underground palace tomb. How can this not be surprising?
Because of this, the faces of several human cultivators present were not very good.
When Nalan Teng spoke in a cold voice and described the details of the formation, the faces of several demon cultivators also darkened.
After all, it is really risky to force your way into a formation of this size, and it is difficult to make a decision.
But risks and opportunities often coexist!
If you can get into the gate of life by chance, you can also take a big advantage, and even sweep away the treasures of the entire mausoleum in advance. It is not impossible.
As the saying goes, fortunes are interdependent with disasters, and disasters are interdependent with fortunes, this is the truth!
However, just when the masters were hesitant, the complex formation pattern engraved on the top of the hall suddenly lit up with a faint white light, with a fierce and murderous intention filled in it, as if some kind of powerful killing formation was about to be formed.
Seeing this scene, all the masters present frowned, and a trace of anxiety inevitably flashed in their eyes, but they still remained where they were, and did not make a rash decision. Instead, they all probed out the power of their spiritual consciousness and carefully scanned the eight arches.
It looked as if he wanted to find some clues.
But after a thorough investigation, he found nothing.
At this moment, Nalan Teng, a sword cultivator, suddenly stepped forward and said in a cold and arrogant tone:
"This Nine Palaces Gate of Life and Death is quite powerful, and it was personally set up by Tianfeng Daojun, a powerful Yuanying mid-stage cultivator. How could it be easy to leave any flaws? Instead of shrinking back here, it is better to go in and explore it yourself. I will go first, and you can take care of yourself!"
After saying this, Nalan Teng turned around and walked towards the nearest archway without stopping. In just a blink of an eye, he disappeared in a flash of light.
Seeing this situation, all the masters reacted.
After all, you have to choose early or late. Even if you continue to stay here, you will have to face the arrival of the terrifying killing array. If you make a decision earlier, you may be able to gain some advantages.
Thinking of this, all the masters dispersed and walked towards the archways they chose.
Qin Tian was no exception and also walked towards the nearest door.
....................................................................
Accompanied by a dazzling white light, there was a sense of squeezing around. When Qin Tian opened his eyes again, he was already in a dim tomb passage.
The tomb passage was bottomless and continued to extend downward. The ground was paved with unknown spiritual materials and was very flat. There were many strange reliefs carved on the surrounding walls. The atmosphere inside seemed quite eerie and strange.
Seeing this scene, Qin Tian did not dare to be careless, and quickly opened the protective qi, and at the same time sacrificed the flowing cloud brocade magic weapon around his body to deal with emergencies.
When everything was ready, he carefully probed his spiritual sense, but after a probe, he found nothing.
However, just as Qin Tian took a step, something strange happened in the field.
The reliefs on the walls of the tomb passage suddenly shook with a strange wave, and the originally quiet environment around suddenly changed.
When Qin Tian reacted, he was already in an endless sea of blood, with blood waves rolling below and a pungent smell of blood in the air.
"GaGa!"
"KaKa!"
Accompanied by a strange sound, a white skeleton quickly rushed out of the blood wave, and two groups of ghost fires were suspended in the empty eye sockets, and sometimes they made creepy screams.
And the skeletons were so densely packed that the number was hard to predict. It was not difficult to judge from the momentum that almost every one of them had reached the foundation-building stage.
Seeing this situation, Qin Tian felt his scalp tingling and his face instantly darkened.
After all, the skeleton army seemed to be weak individually, but with such a terrifying number, even an ordinary Jindan late-stage master would face a great crisis.
The so-called ants bite the elephant to death, that's the truth.
And it is not difficult to judge from the current situation that they must have fallen into some kind of killing array!
