Unconsciously, three days passed quickly. Gu Qingxi and his party had already gone deep into the heart of the secret realm. The colorful stones were shining brightly, and the five colors were becoming more and more balanced.
This meant that they were getting closer and closer to the core of the formation.
Gu Qingxi's expression was also much more relaxed than when she first entered the secret realm. She found that the closer she was to the core of the formation, the stronger the five elements law became, and the more obvious the changes on the colorful stones became.
So now she didn't need to stare at it with all her attention, and she could find the direction with a glance from the corner of her eye.
She was more worried about the monsters now, but fortunately, although she encountered several groups of monsters on the way, the strongest ones were only at the seventh level, far inferior to the three thunder rhinos she encountered a few days ago.
At first she was a little confused, but she thought about it and understood: monsters all have their own territories. In this territory, high-level monsters and low-level monsters can coexist, but there will never be a situation where two powerful tribes coexist peacefully.
Obviously, this area is the territory of the three thunder rhinos. Apart from them, of course there will be no monsters with equal or stronger strength.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, how did you defeat those three thunder rhinos?" Peng Xuanyi asked.
He had been recalling Gu Qingxi's three shocking swords these days, trying to comprehend something from them, but he still couldn't figure it out.
In his opinion, Gu Qingxi's sword skills were very strong, and her spiritual power was indeed much more condensed than that of cultivators of the same level, but she couldn't defeat three thunder rhinos with her Nascent Soul Great Perfection.
A few days ago, Gu Qingxi was concentrating on finding the core of the formation, and he didn't dare to ask more. Now that he saw Gu Qingxi relaxed, he couldn't help it anymore.
"In fact, those thunder rhinos have impure blood and are not that strong." Gu Qingxi said casually.
This was not to perfunctory Peng Xuanyi, but it was the truth.
Generally, when it reaches the eighth level or above, the strength of the monster beast is directly related to its blood. Take the thunder rhino as an example. They are all ninth-level monster beasts. The thunder rhino with pure blood can reach the great perfection of the spirit transformation. If it can comprehend the laws of heaven and earth, it may be possible to break through the bloodline restrictions and achieve fusion.
If the bloodline is impure, the strength can only reach the early stage of the transformation of the spirit. If the bloodline is too impure, it may not even reach the transformation
of the spirit. The three thunder rhinos they encountered last time were like this. They were ninth-level monsters, but their strength barely crossed the threshold of the transformation of the spirit.
And the condensation of her spiritual power was completely beyond Peng Xuanyi's imagination.
Other cultivators can also condense their spiritual power by suppressing their levels, so that they have stronger combat power than cultivators of the same level, or defeat enemies at a higher level. But this kind of suppression is limited. Generally, it can only suppress one level. If it is more, it will hurt the meridians, and you have to promote even if you don't want to.
But Gu Qingxi is different. Because of the backlash of the forbidden technique, her cultivation was forcibly suppressed, and she couldn't promote even if she wanted to. Therefore, her spiritual power can be condensed unlimitedly, and her meridians can be strengthened unlimitedly.
If I guess correctly, her spiritual power and meridian strength at this time are actually equivalent to the middle stage of the transformation
of the spirit. With such spiritual power, coupled with powerful sword skills, and the power of Yafeng's own sword, it is certainly not difficult to deal with three ninth-level monsters that are equivalent to barely crossing the transformation of the spirit.
However, the forbidden technique was too complicated and it was her secret, so there was no need to explain it to Peng Xuanyi.
"So that's how it is." Peng Xuanyi said suddenly, but he was still a little skeptical.
No matter how impure the bloodline was, a ninth-level monster was still a ninth-level monster. Just like a strong man in the state of transformation, even if he was a transformation by elixir, he was still a transformation.
With the cultivation of the great perfection of the Nascent Soul, it was as difficult as ascending to heaven to deal with a transformation. It was still incredible for him to chop three of them off with such an easy sword.
Forget it, forget it. Can you, a disciple of the Earth-grade Demon Sect, figure out the affairs of the hidden family? The more Peng Xuanyi thought about it, the more confused he became. He simply stopped wasting his brain and continued to happily fill in the blanks.
"We are here." Gu Qingxi said suddenly.
On the colorful stone, the five colors were dazzling, and there was no distinction between strong and weak. She also clearly felt the wonderful rhythm of the five elements' mutual generation, mutual restraint, mutual complementation, and endless circulation.
Obviously, this is the core of the five elements formation.
"Master Gu, are you sure this is the core of the formation?" Peng Xuanyi was a little skeptical.
This is a valley with a few large trees growing sparsely around it. The scenery is definitely not beautiful.
There are many medicinal herbs and flowers under the feet, but the highest grade is only sixth or seventh grade, which is similar to the situation when they just entered the secret realm.
In their imagination, since it is the core of the formation, there must be spiritual springs flowing and exotic flowers blooming, as beautiful as a fairyland, and eighth and ninth grade medicinal herbs and spiritual crystals everywhere. Maybe you can even see the legendary treasures of heaven and earth. How could they not expect it to be such an ordinary place.
"Confirmed." Gu Qingxi said affirmatively.
The Five Elements Law can be said to be one of the most basic laws in the world. Most of the laws of heaven and earth are derived from the Five Elements Law. So it is normal for the core of the formation to return to its original simplicity and look ordinary. Besides,
Peng Xuanyi and others' spiritual consciousness is too weak to detect the rhythm of the law, but she has felt it a long time ago, and of course she will not doubt it.
"That's good, Qingxi, you should practice quickly, we will protect you." Long Zaiye knew why Gu Qingxi was looking for the core of the formation, and he said happily.
Then he drew out his long sword and stood in front of Gu Qingxi. If he was not too skinny, he would really look like the door god in the New Year picture.
With your little strength, you are still protecting me. I am afraid that I will be protected to death by you and I will not know what happened. This time, Gu Qingxi did not treat him politely. She grabbed Long Menshen's neck and lifted him aside like a chicken, then took out the spirit stone and spirit crystal to set up the formation.
Although she had never encountered any decent monsters along the way except the three thunder rhinos, it was only because she was too strong. In fact, even if it was just a seventh-level monster, it could pose a great threat to Long Zaiye and Peng Xuanyi. Moreover,
the intelligence of those thunder rhinos was not low, and their injuries should have recovered after a few days. Maybe they would come to retaliate at the critical moment of her breakthrough and promotion, so she must make full preparations.
Whether she can break the ban and backlash and ascend to the God Transformation depends on this move, so she must not be careless.
"Qingxi, let me help." Seeing Gu Qingxi setting up the formation, Long Zaiye immediately became interested and took out the spirit stone excitedly.
Gu Qingxi gave him a displeased look: Can you help me die more quickly?
Long Zaiye also knew that his formation technique was a bit unreliable. Seeing Gu Qingxi's unfriendly eyes, he smiled awkwardly, put away the spirit stone and retreated obediently.
It took more than an hour for Gu Qingxi to set up the formation.
“Elder Long, Fellow Daoist Peng, you stay here. No matter what happens, you must not move an inch. Otherwise, your lives may be in danger, and I won't be able to save you then.” Gu Qingxi said seriously as he led Long Zai Ye and several others to a corner on the edge of the formation.
