Yin Shilan's attention was attracted by the gate of Luanfeng Palace. The Luanfeng Palace in front of her was a palace complex appearing on the sea of clouds.
The palace was shining with golden light under the sunlight, and from time to time, female cultivators in colorful skirts flew out from various palaces.
The gate of Luanfeng Palace is like a scroll, and the content of the scroll is a fairyland.
Although Li Shiming's 'phantom clone' could not use the 'divine vision', he could see more than Yin Shilan at the level of a great cultivator.
Under his observation, he could see that the sea of clouds was a large formation, which supported all the palaces of Luanfeng Palace.
This is certainly not all. He can sense that this sea of clouds formation is constantly absorbing energy from all around, and something is brewing inside the sea of clouds formation.
All the palaces are perfectly integrated with the sea of clouds formation, forming a complete energy cycle.
This is what he can see from the outside, and he can only observe more clearly if he is in the situation.
A long cloud platform stretched out from the sea of clouds in Luanfeng Palace. Monk Li stopped the flying boat on the cloud platform and she got off the boat first.
Li Shiming, Yin Shilan, and five late-stage golden corpses got off the flying boat.
The platform under the feet is very peculiar. It feels soft when stepped on, but it can support everyone's body without sinking into it.
Although Li Shiming and the five late-stage golden corpses can all fly, he also understands the principle of adapting to local customs. Since the Luanfeng Palace allows everyone to board the cloud platform, it means that they do not want everyone to fly.
“Shilan, follow me in first!” Great Monk Li waved to Yin Shilan and said, then he said to Li Shiming: “Daoyou Li, the clouds and mist will separate a passage. The test is in the passage. You can enter after passing the passage!”
Yin Shilan looked at Li Shiming, and Li Shiming smiled and waved at her, motioning her to go in first.
Master Li took Yin Shilan into the sea of clouds, and their figures disappeared into the sea of clouds.
Li Shiming was not in a hurry. This was a sect for female cultivators, so some rules were normal.
He could even sense that there were many eyes watching this side, most of which were observing this side through the formation.
"This is Li Shizhen. She looks so young!"
"Didn't they say that the one coming here was a clone? But it doesn't look like a clone at all!"
"Aunt Li said it was a clone, it can't be wrong!"
"It is said that his fighting ability is unmatched in the world except for the Great Power!"
"It's a pity that he's a clone, so we can't see him fight!"
Voices were spreading in the sea of clouds, all of them were the voices of female cultivators, some were gentle, sweet, charming, and gentle.
"How's the arrangement going?" a gentle voice sounded.
"Palace Master Gu, everything has been arranged. But isn't it a little too difficult to use a large formation to set up this formation?" This was the reply from the formation master of Luanfeng Palace.
"He is a genius. If the arrangement is simple, he will look down on our Luanfeng Palace!" Palace Master Gu said lightly.
Li Shiming was waiting when the sea of clouds in front began to disperse and a passage thirty meters wide appeared.
Before he could reach the passage, pillars of cloud rose from the ground formed by the sea of clouds.
In just three breaths, the thirty-meter-wide passage turned into a forest.
A strange look flashed in Li Shiming's eyes. He did not expect that the test of Luanfeng Palace was a formation.
But on second thought, it is normal. This is his energy clone. If they really want to fight, Luanfeng Palace will not think that his 'phantom clone' can restore energy. Then the 'phantom clone' will be directly collapsed. This is not making friends but making enemies.
He looked at the forest in front of him. If the other party had not let him see the rising cloud pillars before setting up the formation, perhaps he would have to spend a little more time.
However, the process of those cloud pillars rising exposed the nodes of this formation.
This may not be of much use to other formation masters, but for him, it is equivalent to giving his life-saving magic weapon IBMz15 the best computing data.
He transmitted the data he saw to his original body through the 'phantom clone', and his original magic weapon IBMz15 only took two breaths of time to provide detailed information about the formation.
He walked towards the forest, and when he was close to the forest, he waved his hand, and a spiritual consciousness fell into the forest, gently pulling the spiritual power lines at several nodes of the formation's spiritual power lines.
He did not slow down his pace, and when he reached the front of the forest formation, the newly set up forest formation disappeared as he stepped in.
There was only an empty passage in front of him, and nothing was stopping him from moving forward.
"What happened? Why is the formation gone?" Palace Master Gu asked in confusion.
"Strange, wasn't it said that it was a clone who came? How come it is so easy for the clone to break the formation!" The formation master said to himself in confusion.
"Is it because the formation is not set up properly? Even if it is a forced attack, it should not be broken so quickly?" Palace Master Gu doubted the ability of the formation master, so she asked.
"Palace Master Gu, this formation is one I recently researched, so there will definitely not be any problems. His formation level is so high that I'm afraid no other formation master in the world of immortal cultivation can compare with him!" The formation master replied, shaking his head helplessly.
As a master of formations, he knew how difficult Li Shiming's operation just now was.
As for breaking the formation, forcibly breaking it is actually the simplest way. Using powerful strength to violently destroy the nodes of the formation can be done as long as the strength is strong enough.
Using technology to crack it is a completely different matter. It requires in-depth research on the formation and a lot of analysis and calculation to find out how the formation works and discover the nodes of the formation.
Then, by utilizing his mastery of the formation's nodes, he used special means to create energy conflicts in the formation, revealing loopholes in the formation.
Li Shiming's method was more direct. He went directly into the formation and activated the formation's nodes to make the formation disappear.
Even she, a master of setting up formations, cannot crack the formation in this way. The amount of calculation required is too huge. This method of breaking the formation only exists in theory.
“Send two red-gold phoenixes over to stop him at least. Otherwise it will be too embarrassing!” Palace Master Gu thought for a moment and gave the order.
"Palace Master Gu, he is a clone, don't let anything get into trouble!" a female cultivator reminded.
"Just be careful!" Palace Master Gu was not too worried about this. As long as he gave proper instructions to the Red-Gold Phoenix he sent out, nothing would go wrong.
The passage was not very long, and Li Shiming could already see the stairs in front and a palace above the stairs.
At this moment, two red-gold phoenixes flew out from the sea of clouds and swooped towards him.
These two red-gold phoenixes are both in the middle stage of the fourth rank. Their combined strength is enough to stop any great cultivator.
Li Shiming slowed down his pace, and the five late-stage golden corpses behind him quickened their pace, protecting him.
In the later period, a light flashed on the golden corpses, and a full set of armor appeared on their bodies.
At first, the two red-gold phoenixes just wanted to force Li Shiming to stop moving forward. This was the mission they had received, and they did not need to launch any attacks.
But the five late-stage golden corpses wearing armor made the two red-gold phoenixes feel provoked.
The five late-stage golden corpses walked forward with Li Shiming, not taking the threat posed by the two red-gold phoenixes seriously.
The two red-gold phoenixes were no longer polite and both let out their phoenix calls. Then the feathers of the two red-gold phoenixes turned into flames and fell towards Li Shiming.
The five late-stage golden corpses did not take action, but just protected Li Shiming and allowed the flames to fall on the defensive shield.
The most terrifying thing about the red-gold phoenix's flame is that it can burn the soul. This effect of burning the soul can easily penetrate the defense if the defense is insufficient.
However, the defensive shields of the five late-stage golden corpses were extremely strong, and the flames of the two red-gold phoenixes fell on them and were completely blocked outside.
The two red-gold phoenixes were angry. Their cries became more and more urgent, and flames began to burn on their bodies. They turned into flames.
The scarlet-gold phoenix spit out balls of flames at the defensive shield. These flames were more powerful than the flames transformed from feathers.
Even a great cultivator would not dare to allow the Red-Gold Phoenix to attack.
The Phoenix blood of these two red-gold phoenixes is extremely strong, and the fire they use is the same 'Nirvana Fire' as the little phoenix, which possesses terrifying lethality.
When she first saw the two angry red-gold phoenixes, Palace Master Valley was about to recall the red-gold phoenixes, but what happened next made her stop.
A smile appeared on Li Shiming's face. He was very satisfied with the armor on the late golden corpse.
It took him almost a year to prepare five sets of armor. Of course, the golden corpse in the later period not only had five sets of armor, but also five bows.
In fact, refining the five bows is not that difficult. In order to increase the power of the five bows, 800 million power runes and 400 million power storage runes are engraved on each bow.
That is to say, in the later stage, the golden corpse does not need to recognize the magic weapon as its master. Although the five bows have reached the level of spiritual treasures, the spiritual treasure quality of the five bows cannot be sensed unless they are activated.
All five bows are long-range attack magic treasures. As long as the arrangements are made before the attack to isolate the leakage of aura, the magic treasure bows will not leak out.
The reason why five bows are easy is because there is no need to worry about the leakage of the spiritual treasure quality of the five bows.
However, refining armor was difficult for Li Shiming. If he only refined it into the fourth-grade top quality, even if it was a magic weapon, its defense would not be able to reach a higher level.
If you want to defend against attacks from peak great monks, you need a defense level at the spiritual treasure level.
Finally he thought of a solution, which was to decompose the armor into many parts.
A piece of armor is divided into seven components: head armor, chest armor, left arm armor, right arm armor, half armor, left leg armor and right leg armor. Each component is engraved with 300 million solid runes and 300 million defense runes.
And these seven components can be connected together to form a combined magic weapon. When it forms a combined magic weapon, this combined magic weapon is a spiritual treasure, and it is also a super defensive spiritual treasure with 2.1 billion solid runes and 2.1 billion defensive runes.
This is also the most powerful spiritual treasure Li Shiming has ever refined. If it were to be revealed, it would probably shock a large group of powerful people.
Now the five late-stage golden corpses did not adopt the ultimate defense form, but only used the seven components of the armor on their bodies to form a defensive shield.
Even so, any one of the seven armor components has the level of a fourth-grade top-level magical weapon, and is only a step away from a spiritual treasure.
With the defensive power of five late-stage golden corpses, plus this set of ultimate defensive armor, this is the confidence that he dared to let the "Phantom Clone" protect Yin Shilan to come to the Zhongzhou Continent.
Amid the crazy attack of the two red-gold phoenixes, Li Shiming stepped onto the stairs.
When his feet touched the steps, the two red-gold phoenixes stopped attacking immediately, and they let out two unwilling cries and turned around and flew away.
Li Shiming looked up and saw the plaque of the palace in front of him, which read Fengqi Palace.
The "feng" in phoenix is male and the "huang" is female. This Fengqi Palace should be the palace for entertaining male cultivators.
When they arrived at the gate of Fengqi Palace, the vermilion gate made of spiritual wood opened to the left and right.
"The Palace Master of the War Phoenix Palace, Gu Zhiyou, welcomes Fellow Daoist Li Shizhen on behalf of the Luanfeng Palace!" Palace Master Gu walked out of the Fengqi Palace, wearing a plain palace dress without any makeup, but she looked very heroic. She bowed and saluted Li Shiming.
"Greetings, Palace Master Gu!" Li Shiming returned the greeting.
Palace Master Gu made a gesture of invitation and led Li Shiming into the hall.
Monk Li and Yin Shilan were already in the hall. After a brief separation from Li Shiming, Yin Shilan's eyes were filled with anticipation when they met again. She seemed to have a lot to say to Li Shiming.
Li Shiming smiled at her. Li Shiming knew her and knew that she must want to share with him what had happened during this period of time.
"I'm sorry that you made Fellow Daoist Li laugh in the previous test. I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Li was so powerful in both formation and strength. No wonder you are called the number one great cultivator. You really deserve the title!" Palace Master Gu said with a chuckle.
When Li Shiming heard this, he felt something was wrong.
Looking at Monk Li's expression again, Monk Li no longer had the expression of wanting to laugh at him, but instead had a helpless look on his face.
This made him stunned. Shouldn't the test be as easy as possible?
"Palace Master Gu, I can only be considered a beginner in the art of formation. As for strength, I don't rely on myself, but on external forces!" No matter what, it's better to be humble, Li Shiming responded with a smile.
"The two red-gold phoenixes went a bit too far. In fact, I had instructed them in advance that I was just testing them. I didn't expect them to go all out. I have locked them up and are waiting for punishment!" Palace Master Gu looked much better. Li Shiming had a good attitude, so she spoke more tactfully.
"That's not necessary. I know the Red-Gold Phoenix well. It's normal for the proud phoenix to have some temper!" Li Shiming waved his hand and said.
The atmosphere of the conversation returned to normal, and Palace Master Gu did not talk much. After some greetings, he told them about the arrangements for Li Shiming.
A residence was prepared for Li Shiming on the second floor of this Fengqi Palace.
According to Palace Master Gu, all male cultivators coming to the Luanfeng Palace can only stop here. Except for the Fengqi Palace, male cultivators are not allowed to enter other places without special invitations.
Yin Shilan can come over at any time, so even though the two of them are separated, the time they are apart will not be long.
