Chapter 188: Formation Road
The scene was silent.
Only the sound of the waves echoed, and gradually, even the sound of the waves died down.
Taoist Longshan looked around. Some people lowered their heads, some smiled, and some looked at each other calmly. He looked at the two people in front of him and finally said calmly:
"Thank you for your kindness, but there is a saying that goes, 'One should do something once, but then it will fail.' How about I talk to you two after I leave the island with my disciples?"
The words fell.
The expressions of the black-robed swordsman and the white-browed old man gradually darkened.
"Brother Chen, it seems that our face is not big enough." The black-robed swordsman said self-deprecatingly.
The white-browed old man also nodded with emotion.
But anyone with a discerning eye could see the sarcasm in the two men's eyes.
Ning Qi's face was calm.
With his current strength, the two people in front of him were no different from ants. However, since the master was leading the team, he naturally had to respect him. Ning Qi was just looking at the vaguely visible fog in front of him with a little surprise. He sensed a strange power, like a strange formation, but it seemed more powerful.
"You two have misunderstood." Taoist Longshan said with a smile, and did not want to say more. He waved his hand and led his disciples forward, ready to go to the foggy area.
But invisibly, two auras locked onto the group.
Interests move people's hearts.
No matter how famous Tianjian Zhenren is, since he is not present, some people will be tempted, especially as more and more rumors point to the inheritance of the Martial Saint in the Zhenwu Palace, which makes people jealous and willing to take risks.
"Master, it seems that you don't even give us two any face?"
The two powerful men on the Heavenly Man List who were fighting to the death before reached a consensus in an instant. Although they were smiling, there was a chill in their eyes.
The atmosphere dropped to freezing point in an instant.
Everyone held their breath, wanting to see how the Zhenwu Sect would respond. Would they use the prestige of Tianjian Zhenren to repel the enemy, or have other means? Or would they simply retreat under the pressure of the two powerful men on the Tianren Ranking. In that case, the Zhenwu Sect's reputation would undoubtedly be greatly reduced.
The Zhenwu sect members paused.
Ning Qi's expression was calm, and the next moment, he smiled.
Only a calm voice was heard:
"Who are you?"
Seeing Taoist Longshan with no expression at all, everyone was stunned. They couldn't believe that such words came out of his mouth. However, the eyes of all the disciples of Zhenwu Sect lit up, especially Ye Qinghe and others.
They will never forget that when Taoist Longshan was in seclusion to break through the realm of heaven and man, foreign enemies invaded Zhenwu Mountain, and how they stirred up trouble in Qingzhou after he succeeded.
Taoist Longshan has not taken action for a long time. His edge has been overshadowed by Taoist Tianjian, and many people have forgotten his character.
The black-robed swordsman and the white-browed old man both stared at Taoist Longshan in a daze.
Some of them could not believe what they heard. They did not know how someone who had only stepped into the Heavenly Man Realm for a few years had the courage to challenge the two powerful men on the Heavenly Man List.
But right away.
They understood.
The rich power of heaven and earth gathered together, surging like the sea overturning.
The anger in the two men's eyes turned into surprise before it even had time to rise, and then into shock.
Taoist Longshan doesn't talk nonsense.
The secret technique of the Bridge of Heaven and Man was activated, and the power of heaven and earth controlled by him instantly doubled. He is now a completely different person than before. It has been more than half a year since he took the Tongtian Pill, and most of the medicinal power has been refined. His strength has increased greatly. If one has to compare, he is at least in the top 20 of the Heaven and Man List. After all, he also masters many of the secret techniques taught by Ning Qi.
Boom!
Everyone could vaguely hear the roar of the power of heaven and earth, and streams of water surged, pushing away all the onlookers.
The two powerful men on the Heavenly Man Ranking had already used their full strength in fear.
A hundred-foot-long sword energy broke out of the sea and split the water column like a dragon emerging from the sea. The white-browed old man swung his fists violently. The fist energy had a mysterious pulling force, which actually formed a vortex around the sea water. The power of heaven and earth fluctuated, and under pressure, the two of them cooperated with each other in a tacit understanding.
But to no avail.
Taoist Longshan had a calm expression. He drew a circle with his left and right hands, and the invisible power of heaven and earth suddenly split into two streams, pulling and responding to each other, and then turned into two giant waves and suppressed down.
Under the shocked gaze of everyone.
The sword energy shattered and the fist wave dissipated.
The two powerful men in the realm of heaven and man both vomited blood and flew backwards, and were pinned to the bottom of the sea by the giant palm.
Taoist Longshan stood with his hands behind his back.
Not long.
Two embarrassed figures rushed out from the bottom of the sea, with bloodshot eyes and gloomy and fearful expressions on their mouths.
The scene gradually became quiet.
At this moment, Taoist Longshan has become the focus of the whole audience, his prestige has risen sharply, and everyone has only one thought at this moment.
"How could Taoist Longshan have such terrifying strength?"
Originally, the reason why Taoist Longshan was treated with courtesy by the two powerful men on the Heavenly Man List was because of Taoist Tianjian, but now he is doing it because of his own strength.
Everyone in the Zhenwu Sect was excited.
Ning Qi chuckled.
Just from the methods displayed by his master, it can be known that he has worked very hard these days. Perhaps he knows that the pressure of the entire sect is on Ning Qi. He is powerless and can only turn it into a more powerful driving force to grow up as quickly as possible.
Taoist Longshan glanced at the two powerful men on the Heavenly Man List indifferently without saying anything.
Then he waved his hand and flew towards the direction of the fog with the disciples of Zhenwu Sect.
This time.
But no one dared to stop it.
The looks were extremely complicated, some were jealous, some were amazed.
"The Zhenwu Sect already has a Tianjian Master, and now there is a Longshan Master. If they can inherit the Zhenwu Palace, I'm afraid it will become a martial arts holy land in the future!"
The two powerful men on the Heavenly Man Ranking were helpless, with regret in their eyes.
Not only did he fail to stop the Zhenwu Sect, but he also offended them. He really lost both the wife and the army.
If they could go back in time, they would definitely not do that.
…
"Master, you are so handsome!"
Ye Qinghe did not hesitate to praise every disciple.
Taoist Longshan, who had been standing with his hands behind his back with a comfortable look, suddenly lost his composure and glared at Ye Qinghe unhappily, but Ye Qinghe just turned away with a smile.
Taoist Longshan shook his head and laughed, then looked towards the white fog area in front of him with a solemn look.
"Xiaojiu, what do you think?"
Ning Qi's eyes glowed with a faint golden light, and after a moment he spoke:
"It's similar to the Qimen formation, but it's enhanced by spiritual power. It's much more flexible than the Qimen formation. If an ordinary person steps into it, they will lose their way. Although there's no danger, it will hurt the gods. Even if we travel together, we'll probably be separated."
Everyone nodded.
This is already public information. Previously, a sect wanted to use the human wave tactic to measure this place, but it turned out that if hundreds of people entered together, they would unknowingly become one person.
He Yan asked hurriedly:
"Is there a way to crack it?"
"Or maybe his realm is high enough."
"Like the Canghai Sword Sect?"
"That's right."
"Is there any other way?"
Looking at those expectant eyes, Ning Qi observed them carefully, thought for a moment and said:
"Or some special conditions must be met."
"Try our Zhenwu sect's exclusive martial arts."
In addition to the Zhenwu Nine Postures, the Zhenwu School also has some martial arts that were obtained from the Zhenwu Underground Palace back then. Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. If what Cheng Ningqi said was true, then the Zhenwu Palace would have opened up a shortcut just for them.
Ye Qinghe and others laughed excitedly and were eager to try.
Taoist Longshan said with a smile:
"Then let's try it together. If you get lost and are teleported away, gather at Jade Snake Island. If you go to Misty Island, you can't act on your own. Wait until everyone is there before looking for Zhenwu Temple."
"good!"
After a response, everyone used their body skills to rush forward.
It is not difficult for them to walk on the waves.
Ning Qi came last.
He smiled slightly, with anticipation in his eyes, and when all the disciples disappeared, he also rushed inside.
There was nothing but white before my eyes.
Ning Qi paused in the void, with surprise in his eyes.
He could feel that his perception had been completely blocked, and the four directions seemed to be confused. A strange force attached to the white mist, producing all kinds of magical powers. He tried to practice Zhenwu martial arts, and the white mist immediately sensed it, and a faint path appeared in it.
He was delighted to see prey, and his golden pupil that could see through illusions started to move. The white mist in front of him slowly faded, and a small island appeared faintly a few thousand feet ahead. Looking around, he could see figures walking slowly in it. Among them were disciples of the Zhenwu School, as well as other people who were trying their luck.
Entering the fog with Zhenwu martial arts is a means for others to enter. With Ning Qi's strength, it is not difficult for him to enter by himself.
Ning Qi felt very calm, and then he sat cross-legged in the void.
He began to carefully sense the mysterious power of the white mist.
"This white mist should be a combination of spiritual energy and the strange array formation, which is used to confuse the direction."
"It seems that there is more to it than that. If we continue to transform, we can even trap the enemy."
Ning Qi was somewhat amazed.
"Ordinary Heaven Realm experts may not be able to tell the directions. Even if someone is right beside them, they cannot sense it. This formation is really powerful!"
"I didn't expect that the combination of Qimen formation and spiritual energy would have such magical power. This is also a direction."
Ning Qi just felt that the door to a new world was opening towards him.
He continued to comprehend the mysteries hidden in the white mist before his eyes. In his mind, rays of inspiration flowed like a waterfall, and a brand new path gradually emerged. Only then did he realize that the strange formations he had mastered in the past were far from fully explaining their subtleties.
With the infusion of spiritual power, decay can be transformed into magic.
About an hour later.
Ning Qicai slowly stood up.
He let out a long sigh, with satisfaction in his eyes. He had not yet set foot on the island, but the gains from comprehending the white mist alone had made the trip worthwhile. He was looking forward to the Zhenwu Palace even more.
Ning Qi, with his hands behind his back, walked on the waves like a young Taoist priest, looking indescribably elegant.
He didn't even activate the Golden Eye of Illusion, but he was still able to move forward unhindered. When the white fog met him, it all retreated to the sides, as if it was making way for him.
soon.
The island is right in front of us.
Ning Qi walked in slowly. The Zhenwu Sect's group had been waiting at the island for a long time, and everyone was relieved to see Ning Qi coming.
"Xiao Jiu, has anything unexpected happened?" Taoist Longshan asked. In his opinion, Ning Qi should have arrived earlier.
Ning Qi smiled and shook his head:
"I was excited to see the prey, so I spent some time to comprehend the white mist."
Seeing Ning Qi's slightly delighted expression, Taoist Longshan, Ye Qinghe and others knew that they might have made a great harvest, and they couldn't help but marvel in their hearts.
"Let's go."
Taoist Longshan took the lead, and the fog in front of him gradually faded away.
Everyone looked up subconsciously and stood there in a daze.
In the distance, fairy palaces were looming in the clouds, white cranes were flying, spiritual beasts were crying, and there were countless exotic flowers and plants, all the way to the feet of the crowd.
"This... is this really on the Misty Island? Why can't the outside world see any signs of this?"
"I originally thought that those rumors were exaggerated, but now it seems that what they said was a bit conservative. Such a scene is probably only seen in the upper realms where the Martial Saints ascended."
The disciples were amazed.
This is especially true when you see the Zhenwu Temple in the center, which is so high that your top is invisible.
The three words "Zhenwu Palace" alone are full of charm, which is enough to give people many insights at a glance.
There were tears in Taoist Longshan's eyes, and he felt the excitement of a pilgrimage.
"So... this is the Zhenwu Underground Palace that I saw all those years ago! I was in the mountains and couldn't see its true appearance. Now I finally get to see it. I am so lucky!"
Everyone was excited.
Ning Qi's gaze fell on the three words "Zhenwu Palace" with golden light flowing in his eyes. He tried to get a glimpse of the secret, but he immediately stopped his secret technique because he realized that a strange force was hindering his spying. He even had a feeling that if he continued to spy, he would suffer backlash.
He just stared at the three words, relying on his own understanding to comprehend the mystery within them, and rays of spiritual light continued to rise.
With just three simple words, he seemed to see a fairy mountain towering above the clouds, its true appearance invisible. It was majestic and ethereal, a power that was difficult for him to imagine now.
"Is this the source of our inheritance?" A sense of pride emerged in the hearts of all the disciples.
Keep moving forward.
Step into the fairy palace.
Everyone was shocked to realize that the fairy cranes and spirit beasts before seemed to be illusions and had disappeared. Only the palaces that were still full of fairy charm stood quietly, but Ning Qi felt that this was not the case.
All the fairy palaces that did not look like those on earth were closed, and everyone groped around cautiously.
"Come and see!" Ye Qinghe's voice attracted everyone's attention.
She was seen standing in front of the Zhenwu Temple in the center, with the top out of sight, and she looked a little excited.
Everyone rushed over and their eyes fell on the stone tablet in front of the Zhenwu Hall.
A line of words appeared on it.
"Those who enter the Zhenwu Hall and pass the assessment can obtain the Zhenwu inheritance."
All eyes immediately turned to Taoist Longshan.
Taoist Longshan didn't waste time either.
He suppressed his excitement, took a deep breath and said:
"The opportunity is right in front of you, you must seize it!"
As he said that, he took the lead and headed towards the Zhenwu Palace.
