Chapter 663 Taiyin Mysterious Fire Array
"Brother Ye, what is this?"
Looking at this mysterious black armor transformed from a spirit insect, Fairy Peony was really amazed by Ye Chunyang's magical power and said in amazement.
"This black armor was transformed by me with the demon-eating Gu. Wearing it can double your defense. Ordinary magic weapons can't hurt you. The journey is dangerous. With this thing to protect you, you can at least increase your safety." Ye Chunyang said.
This method of transforming objects into shapes was not possible in the past. It can be seen that as his cultivation level improves, his beast-controlling skills have also improved a lot.
"Thank you, Brother Ye! I won't say more. If I can find a way out, I will inform Brother Ye as soon as possible." Fairy Peony rolled up her sleeves and said with gratitude.
Ye Chunyang nodded, and then pointed at the woman. A larger demon-eating Gu swirled out, saying, "This is the mother Gu of the demon-eating Gu. This Gu can be used to control the black armor to defend against the enemy. You should keep it."
The Peony Fairy took the mother Gu and looked it over, and kept it with great care.
Then Ye Chunyang taught the spell to control the demon-eating Gu, and finally the woman's figure flashed to the left and disappeared on the road with the "Chaos" stele.
After looking at the back of the Peony Fairy, Ye Chunyang stood still for a moment, turned his head to look at the "Xuan Ji" stele on the right, and then looked at the middle staircase without a stele, thinking something in his heart.
"There is no stele on this staircase. Could it be the way to Penglai Fairy Palace?" Staring at the middle road, Ye Chunyang guessed secretly.
But after a moment, he moved and chose the road with the "Xuan Ji" stele without hesitation.
Although he guessed that the road in the middle was most likely the road leading to Penglai Palace, he knew very well that many masters had come to Penglai Island at this time. Even if there was a replica of Tongtian Lingbao in the palace, they would probably be unable to compete for it. In this case, why bother taking risks? Instead, he and Peony Fairy would explore the road separately and perhaps there would be a chance to leave.
Ye Chunyang didn't know that when their "Chaos" and "Xuan Ji" roads disappeared one after another, some unexpected changes had occurred on this platform.
The nameless road in the middle suddenly twisted, and then a thick fog came, and the whole road gradually became blurred, and disappeared in a moment, leaving only two forks on the left and right and two stone tablets standing there.
What was different was that after Ye Chunyang entered the road of the "Xuan Ji" stone tablet, he walked out only a few steps and his face suddenly froze.
This staircase was not long. At this moment, he had reached the end, and the layers of spiritual pressure disappeared, turning into a rolling low mountain. Although there were plants on the mountain, there was no spiritual energy at all, which was very different from what he saw when he came.
In the low mountains, several towers stood majestically. I don't know if it was an illusion. These towers seemed to be built randomly, but in Ye Chunyang's opinion, they seemed to have some magical powers of Qimen Dunjia. From a certain angle, they formed a kind of magic array.
Ye Chunyang frowned slightly, and a strange color flashed in his eyes. But seeing that there was no air-banning magic array around, he immediately moved his body and flew along several low mountains to explore.
This area of low mountains seemed small, but it was extremely vast when flying. Even with Ye Chunyang's cultivation and the speed of the wind spirit boots, it took nearly eight hours to complete the exploration. However, during the flight, he seemed to have discovered something, and seemed to have confirmed something. His face gradually became ugly, and finally returned to the original place with a gloomy face.
"Ye boy, it seems that this place is indeed not simple..."
Guanglingzi's low voice sounded in his mind, and it sounded solemn.
Ye Chunyang frowned and said nothing. After a long while, he took a deep breath and said, "As I expected, there is a sealing array hidden here, and the person who set up the array is extremely skilled. If I hadn't been fortunate enough to study some ancient arrays, I would probably not have seen any clues."
"From what I understand, this array is so large and involves so many things. If it is not for sealing some extremely terrible things, even the most capable people will never spend so much resources to set up such an array. And you just saw that this array seems to be impacted by external forces and has become extremely unstable. It may be destroyed at any time. In order to avoid accidents, I advise you to leave here as soon as possible." Guanglingzi said faintly.
"Extremely terrible things? What could it be?" Ye Chunyang pondered secretly.
"Someone is coming!"
Just as he was about to think deeply, he suddenly heard a strange movement, and Guanglingzi hurriedly transmitted the message.
Ye Chunyang's eyes flashed, and he cast a talisman without thinking too much. Before he finished the spell, he disappeared like a ghost without leaving any trace.
At the same time, several rainbow lights came from afar, arrived here in a blink of an eye, and coincidentally fell where Ye Chunyang had stopped before. When the rainbow light dissipated, four tall men wearing Taoist robes and with special marks on their chests were seen. Their auras were so strong that they were at the middle and late stages of the Jindan stage.
"Xuanqing Sect!"
In the dark, Ye Chunyang used his skills to restrain his aura and saw the group of people clearly. He found that the marks on their chests were the same as the corpse he saw on the stairs a few days ago.
Realizing that the other party was very advanced, Ye Chunyang hid himself.
With the magical power of the Origin Heavenly Scripture, these people could not detect his existence despite their high cultivation. Just like when Yun Zhen and Su Xueyuan hid under the Holy Pattern Cauldron during the Qi Refining Period, they could not detect him.
"Are you all here? Where did Junior Brother Lu go?" After everyone had settled down, a middle-aged cultivator with a fierce face stepped forward, looked around and asked with a cold expression.
"Junior Brother Lu? It seems that there has been no news since he separated from us." A man with a sinister look next to him spoke.
"What's going on? Have you sent a message to him?" the middle-aged man asked in surprise.
"Of course I sent a message, but Junior Brother Lu didn't respond." said the gloomy man.
The middle-aged cultivator frowned, stamped his feet a few times, and waved his hand with a gloomy face, saying: "After such a long time without any message, Junior Brother Lu must have met with an accident. Well, Master told us to get the replica of the Tongtian Lingbao on this trip. Now Zhengyang Sect and Miaoyun Sect are looking for Penglai Fairy Palace. We shouldn't delay here for too long. Let's set off immediately."
After saying this, the middle-aged cultivator turned around and left without hesitation.
"But Senior Brother Qi, now we are lost, how can we find Penglai Fairy Palace to get the treasure?" The gloomy man hesitated and said.
The middle-aged cultivator paused, thought for a while, and waved his hand, saying, "It's okay. We got here by mistake because we took the wrong road. We can return to the fork by following the original road. There are only two roads at the fork, 'Chaos' and 'Xuan Ji'. Now we are taking 'Xuan Ji'. Since this is not the road to the Immortal Palace, the other one will not be wrong."
After saying this, the middle-aged cultivator did not pause and flew towards the exit of the road on the cloud.
Everyone agreed with what he said, and no longer said anything, following the middle-aged cultivator.
In the dark, Ye Chunyang stared at the group of people leaving for a long time, with a somewhat uncertain face.
"I didn't expect that so many Jindan cultivators from the three major sects would come. I must not wade into this muddy water. I must find a way to leave as soon as possible."
Ye Chunyang's heart was heavy. The appearance of this group of people made him realize that there might be undercurrents on Penglai Island, and he could not participate in it. At the moment, he had no intention of pursuing these Xuanqing Sect cultivators. He would show up after they left.
But just as he was about to cast a spell to withdraw his concealment, his face suddenly changed and his figure disappeared again.
Almost at the same time, a thick fog slowly appeared in front of him, and a shadow turned from hazy to clear in the fog. After a moment of vigilant scrutiny in the air, the fog dissipated and landed.
"Is it it?"
Seeing the shadow in the fog, Ye Chunyang's eyes condensed.
It was a hideous creature with four heads, a human face and a wolf body. Ye Chunyang was not unfamiliar with this appearance. It was the four-headed monster that was teleported to Penglai Island with him.
What surprised him was that this demon not only had four heads again, but also had a cultivation level of Dan Jie stage. As soon as it appeared, the demonic energy immediately surged, and the surrounding spiritual energy was filthy.
"How can this demon be improved to such a level after just a few days of not seeing it?" Ye Chunyang was shocked, but his breath was hidden without leaking out.
After the four-headed monster landed from the air, it looked around at the towers on the low mountain. Its four big mouths opened at the same time, revealing a sinister smile: "This is the place. My king, please wait for a moment. I wish you to see the light of day again!"
The monster knelt on one knee and made a strange handprint in the low mountain. Then he looked up and said, "Fellow Daoist Kui and Fellow Daoist Mei, you two can come out now."
As the monster finished speaking, two rays of light, one black and one white, flashed. The black-armored man and the enchanting beautiful woman appeared one after another, standing on the left and right beside the monster.
"Is this the Taiyin Xuanhuo Formation? Those ancient monks are really not easy to deal with. They can even set up such a formation to attract the earth fire." Standing on a high place overlooking the towers on the low mountain, the black-armored man took a breath, his face extremely solemn.
"Yes, those ancient monks used this formation to trap our king, but now the power of the formation has been weakened by the void cracks, so it is not difficult to destroy it." The four-headed monster laughed.
The beautiful woman also looked forward, frowned slightly and nodded gently: "From the breath, this Taiyin Xuanhuo formation has indeed weakened a lot. We have to thank the human monk who cast a spell to attract the five elements of spiritual energy in the outside world. I guess he himself would not have thought that it would cause chaos on Penglai Island?"
"What Fellow Daoist Meiling said is very true, but the purpose of that human monk has nothing to do with us. Now that the formation is weakened, it is a good opportunity to destroy it. You two should act quickly!"
The four-headed monster stared at the low mountain for a moment, and while speaking, he suddenly opened his mouth and spit out a cloud of thick fog. The fog rose in the wind and soon covered the sky like a cover covering the sky.
Upon seeing this, the beautiful woman and the man in black armor looked at each other and flew to the left and right. They stood in mid-air, making hand gestures and chanting spells. Suddenly, bursts of fierce demonic energy emanated from the two of them, and merged with the demonic energy of the four monsters, and rushed straight towards a tall tower in the center of the hill.
