Chapter 157: The Essence of the Ancient Array Pattern
Lu Yi looked up and saw the middle-aged man from last time standing in the air, emitting a fiery golden light.
This middle-aged man is the Mahayana ancestor of the Yuanyang Sect.
“Lu Yi! Today is the day you die!” The Mahayana ancestor spoke coldly, with golden light flowing around him and divine wheels surrounding him, like a god descending to judge him.
Lu Yi's expression was stern, and he sneered, "How could a great Mahayana cultivator hide in the dark and ambush a mere Divine Transformation cultivator like me? You are incredible."
Lu Yi didn't expect that these three families were quite patient. It was not enough to send three great masters to guard here, and there was actually a Mahayana ancestor personally waiting in the dark.
You know, this is the ancestor of the Mahayana sect, and he is also the most powerful one among the three families. He is actually willing to spend time waiting here.
The Yuanyang Sect's Mahayana ancestor had a calm expression. At his age, he was no longer disturbed by external things, so how could he care about Lu Yi's little ridicule?
"No matter how much you say, you can't escape today! I've studied you. You have a talisman for teleportation. I'm afraid that's how you escaped from the powerful last time. This time, the surrounding space has been suppressed by me, so you can't teleport. This time, let's see how you run."
Hearing this, Lu Yi's expression changed slightly.
These great Mahayana masters are all old geeks who have experienced a lot and are very careful in their work. It is obvious that they have made all the necessary preparations.
When Lu Yi was frightened, the ancestor of Yuanyang Sect reached out and grabbed. Golden light filled the sky and condensed into a giant golden hand with a radius of tens of kilometers. The golden hand confined the space and enveloped Lu Yi, leaving no chance for Lu Yi to escape.
The power of the Mahayana cultivator was too terrifying. While the palm was still in the air, Lu Yi felt his bones crackling and severe pain in his body.
You have to know that Lu Yi's physical body is already extremely terrifying. Even so, it is still a little inferior when facing a Mahayana cultivator.
Lu Yi's expression calmed down and he took out a talisman and activated it.
Suddenly, Lu Yi felt a shattering sound in the space around him, as if something was broken.
The Yuanyang Sect's ancestor's expression changed slightly: "Sky-breaking Talisman?! How come you have such a talisman?!"
The Air-Breaking Talisman is more precious than the Space-Shifting Talisman and can break the space. Only a small number of immortal sects and holy places with a long history have a small number of such talismans.
The ancestor of Yuanyang Sect never expected that Lu Yi also had it!
Lu Yi smiled, took out the Wanli Talisman and activated it. His figure disappeared from the spot, and only his voice remained: "Yuanyang Sect! I will remember you! I will come to find you later!"
Watching Lu Yi disappear before his eyes, the Yuanyang Sect's ancestor had a gloomy expression. He swept his terrifying spiritual sense over, but found that he could not sense Lu Yi's breath.
Suddenly, the Yuanyang Sect's ancestor roared: "Lu Yi!!"
The golden light was boiling, and the mountains and wilderness below were melting like cream, turning into a red ocean of magma. The ancestor of the Yuanyang Sect was extremely angry.
Far away, Lu Yi restrained his breath the moment he appeared, and at the same time used the Thousand Transformations Technique to transform into a sparrow.
He glanced at the golden sky in the distance and slowly flew towards the Winter Valley.
In the next few days, Lu Yi did not move very fast. He changed into different appearances from time to time and walked into ancient cities to inquire about the situation.
More than a month ago, the news that Lu Yi used the protective formation to kill four powerful masters in the Wanhua Sect had already spread.
After ten years of silence, Lu Yi once again entered the public eye.
In a tavern, Lu Yi transformed himself into an ordinary-looking young monk and was drinking.
The monks nearby were discussing among themselves.
"Lu Yi is indeed a demon task that even immortals are amazed at. Every time he appears, he is stronger than before! Last time he destroyed the Blood Spirit Cult, this time he actually directly killed four combined masters. It's really unbelievable."
"Yes, I heard that the Wanhua Sect's protective formation was built by Lu Yi himself. I don't know what kind of magic potion the Wanhua Sect used on Lu Yi to make a monstrous figure like Lu Yi leave the Baiyun Sect and build a formation for them!"
"What else could it be? The fairies from the Wanhua Sect are incredibly beautiful, so naturally they should be that kind?" someone said with a lewd smile.
"Hiss...this is really enviable." A cultivator sighed.
The others laughed too.
Hearing this, Lu Yi expressed indignation. Apart from Yun Xi, he had not touched any other fairies from the Wanhua Sect.
"Don't you know? There's new news about Lu Yi."
"What news?" everyone was curious.
"I heard that Lu Yi left the Wanhua Sect two days ago. He started killing people as soon as he came out. He killed almost all the Yuanyang Sect's Dongxu cultivators present, and almost angered the Yuanyang Sect's powerful men to death!"
"There is such a thing?" Everyone was shocked: "Lu Yi actually dared to come out, how bold."
"He has many tricks up his sleeve and is extremely confident. He must have some trump cards he can rely on," someone asserted.
"You're right. Who would have thought that the Yuanyang Sect's ancestor was also hiding in the dark and didn't leave at all, just waiting for Lu Yi to come out."
As soon as this person finished speaking, everyone exclaimed in surprise.
"A great Mahayana master actually attacked and killed a Divine Transformation cultivator in the dark? Is this a shame?"
"That can't be said. Who dares to regard Lu Yi as a Divine Transformation cultivator now? He has killed four powerful combined masters from three families."
"How was it back there? How was it back there?"
The cultivator who spoke smiled and said, "What else can we do? Lu Yi has many tricks. I heard that the Yuanyang Sect's ancestor sealed off the space, but he escaped. I don't know where he is now."
Hearing this, everyone sighed.
"Lu Yi is a man whose destiny is already sealed."
"Yes, if even the great Mahayana masters can't kill him, then unless the Tribulation Master takes action, nothing can threaten him."
"Right now, Lu Yi's cultivation is still at the Spiritualization Realm. After another thousand years, when he reaches the Integration Realm or even the Mahayana Realm, I'm afraid he will be invincible in Zongheng Tianming."
"That may not be the case. The Qingqiu Demon Fox in the Northern Territory is no joke. It has inherited the Demon Emperor's legacy and is not necessarily worse than Lu Yi."
"That's true."
Everyone was talking about it, Lu Yi listened quietly, and also heard some useful information.
After Lu Yi left, the three powerful men were extremely furious and sent out their strong men to look for Lu Yi, but they have found nothing so far.
Soon, Lu Yi heard other news.
"Have you heard? The coalition forces fighting against the sea tribe seem to be making a big move now."
"What big move?"
"I heard from a good friend on the battlefield that the Sea Clan has sent reinforcements again. The coalition forces are beginning to lose ground. Several immortal sects and holy places in the Eastern Region are getting anxious and are planning to recruit troops to fight against the Sea Clan."
"What?! The Sea Clan has reinforcements?! The strong men they originally sent out are already capable of dealing with an Immortal Sect Holy Land, and this is not the end yet?! Are the Sea Clan so strong?"
"In this case, I'm afraid the battlefield will have to move further inland? I don't know why the sea tribe is so crazy and why they suddenly start attacking our human territory?"
Many monks looked worried.
After all, this matter is closely related to them. If the sea clan’s troops arrive in Qingzhou, one can imagine how many cultivators in this territory will die as a result.
Even if they haven't reached Qingzhou yet, if the sects on the front line retreat and more cultivators come to Qingzhou, Qingzhou will only become more chaotic.
“It’s a troubled time…” An old man who had reached the Golden Core Realm sighed quietly.
"Fellow Daoist, you said that the Immortal Sect Holy Land is planning to recruit soldiers and fight against the sea clan? Is there any big move?" someone asked.
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man. His cultivation was also at the Golden Core stage and his strength was not weak.
He said, "There is indeed some movement. The Immortal Sect Holy Land has sent envoys to the sects that retreated from the occupied states, asking them to send strong men to take action."
As soon as these words were spoken, many monks cheered!
"Hahaha! That's how it should be! These big forces don't dare to compete with the sea clan. After losing their territory, they come to snatch the resources of our Qingzhou cultivators. How shameless! They should be allowed to fight the sea clan and take back their own territory if they have the ability!"
"This way, Qingzhou will probably be better off. Life won't be so difficult."
"What if those sects don't dare to send out strong men?" someone asked.
"Hmph, that's no longer up to them. The front lines are in turmoil now, and these cultivators should have joined the battle. But now they are engaging in infighting in the inland. If we don't send strong men to take action, the Immortal Sect Holy Land will not let them go. Even the ancestor who has transcended the tribulation has spoken, and we must join the battle." said the middle-aged man.
Hearing this, many monks smiled.
"I haven't finished yet." said the middle-aged man.
Everyone continued to listen attentively.
“Although those sects are required to join the war, the inland sects may also need to send strong men. The strength of the sea clan has far exceeded the expectations of the powerful people in the Eastern Region. Only when more strong men join the war can they be completely stopped.” said the middle-aged man.
These words startled all the monks, and then they looked at each other.
"If that's the case, the ancestor of a powerful sect in Qingzhou died on the battlefield, and that sect would probably be in danger." Someone said.
"This is a good thing for independent cultivators." An independent cultivator's eyes flickered with brilliance.
If a sect encounters major problems, independent cultivators will have the best opportunity to rise.
In troubled times, there are always strong people who can rise.
When Lu Yi heard the news, he frowned slightly. If this was true, it would indeed be a big deal.
After all, the strong men in the sect are the foundation of the sect. If the strong men all die on the battlefield, it will be difficult to suppress the entire territory relying solely on the weak, and by then the ruling status will be in name only.
If the sect is unable to rule the entire territory, the cultivation resources will be greatly reduced. This is a vicious cycle.
Lu Yi sighed in his heart that the chaos brought about by the war among the sea tribes was too great. He was afraid that many forces would be reshuffled and new strong men would rise.
For Lu Yi, although he felt a little sad, he did not feel too much inside. For a cultivator, his own strength is the most important thing.
Afterwards, Lu Yi heard some more news from the sea clan battlefield.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The brutality of the sea clan war far exceeded Lu Yi's imagination. Almost every day, there were battles among the tribulation ancestors, which destroyed one area after another. Even many areas in the Eastern Region were turned into wastelands and deserts.
Everyone realized that this was not going to work, and the battle among the powerful gradually shifted to outside the sky, which allowed other areas to be preserved.
However, even the old ancestor who is undergoing tribulation has to fight every day, so one can imagine how fiercely the battles of other cultivators are.
Up to now, there has been no news of the death of the ancestor of the tribulation realm, but more than one powerful person in the Mahayana realm has died, not to mention the powerful people in the fusion realm.
The entire battlefield was almost a meat grinder. In such a state of emptiness, even one's own life was difficult to control.
As for mortals, they were killed in one city after another. It is said that the land in many territories was dyed blood red.
Lu Yi felt a bit pressured after listening to this.
With his current strength, if the sea clan’s troops approached Qingzhou, he might not even be able to protect himself, let alone protect the people he loved.
You still have to work hard to practice.
Then Lu Yi thought that his master seemed to be very powerful, so maybe there wouldn’t be any big problems.
Afterwards, Lu Yi changed his mind and thought, although the master was very powerful, since there was a strong man like the master in Tianming, the sea clan might not be without such strong men, and the situation would probably be very bad by then.
It is always better to rely on yourself than on others.
Lu Yi felt a huge pressure in his heart. He had to practice hard after returning this time.
Afterwards, Lu Yi heard another piece of news. He heard that the Immortal Sect Holy Land in the Eastern Region was planning to talk to the ancestors of the Sea Clan, trying to find a way to quell the fighting.
If the battle continues like this, it will be of no benefit to the Eastern Region, and of course it will also be a huge loss to the sea clan.
All the monks were looking forward to this negotiation, wondering if there would be any turning point.
A group of monks were talking and expressing their own opinions, and then started discussing other things. Lu Yi listened to some of them and found that they were all gossip and had nothing to do with him.
Lu Yi paid the bill and left.
Lu Yi moved all the way and spent several days to finally arrive at the sect location of Hanyu Valley.
Hanyu Valley is located in a snowy mountain range. It is rumored that this is the place where immortals who have mastered the way of ice attain enlightenment. The temperature in Qingzhou is not cold, but the snow here never melts for thousands of years.
The entire area is very cold, which is very suitable for cultivating the state of ice.
Lu Yi did not alarm anyone, but sneaked into the Winter Valley and found the Han Yu.
Han Yu's cave is located on a snowy mountain and is almost made of ice.
When he saw Lu Yi, he smiled with surprise: "Brother Lu, why are you here?"
The two had not seen each other for a long time since the chaos in Qingzhou.
Han Yu has white hair and is as handsome and delicate as a girl. He hugged Lu Yi warmly.
Lu Yi was a little uncomfortable with this. Han Yu looked a bit like a girl, but he was a boy after all, and Lu Yi didn't want to cuddle with a boy.
What a disgrace!
Lu Yi smiled and said, "I came to the Winter Valley to build a sect protection formation for you."
Han Yu laughed when he heard this: "I heard that Brother Lu went to Wanhua Sect some time ago and built a sect protection formation for them. He even used the sect protection formation to kill four powerful combined masters?"
Lu Yi smiled and said, "I didn't expect that even you in Winter Valley heard about it."
The Winter Valley is not close to the Wanhua Sect.
Han Yu shook his head and sighed, "This matter shocked the world, how could it be possible that no one had heard of it? Brother Lu's strength is getting more and more amazing, it is really admirable."
Lu Yi smiled and said, "We can spar with each other later."
"That's good." Han Yu nodded with a smile.
"Brother Hanyu, please take me to meet your headmaster first." Lu Yi said with a smile.
Han Yu nodded and took Lu Yi to meet Master Lu.
Master Lu and the other great elders of Hanyu Valley had naturally heard about Lu Yi setting up a protective formation for the Wanhua Sect, and they had been waiting for Lu Yi to come.
After seeing Lu Yi, they were all extremely surprised.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, now you are here. We have prepared the materials for setting up the formation. It's up to you now!" Master Lu smiled.
Lu Yi naturally smiled and nodded.
He followed Master Lu to the treasury of Hanyu Valley and was somewhat surprised to find that Hanyu Valley had more natural treasures than Wanhua Valley.
There are four pieces of natural treasures at the fusion level, and ten thousand year old ice iron.
"These ten thousand year old ice irons were dug out from a mine in our Winter Valley. We never dared to use them." Master Lu explained.
Lu Yi was a little surprised. This Winter Valley was really a good place. It had solid ice that had not melted for thousands of years, and even such a mineral vein.
I'm afraid that apart from Master Lu, few people know about this, otherwise their Winter Valley would not be able to protect such a precious land.
After Lu Yi got the Ten Thousand Year Ice Iron, he began to prepare to set up a large formation for the Cold Winter Valley.
With the previous experience of Wanhua Sect, Lu Yi set up some small formations before setting up the large formation to protect the sect, in order to conceal the aura and hide his tracks, so as to avoid the large formation to protect the sect making too much noise and attract the attention of powerful forces.
When setting up the formation, Lu Yi used all four pieces of ten thousand year old ice iron, and he also took out three pieces of natural treasures from the fusion realm to add to it, so as to arrange a Mahayana formation for them that could withstand the Mahayana realm.
Looking at the icy mist flowing at the center of the formation, Master Lu and Han Yu stood side by side. Master Lu sighed, "Yu'er, it would be better if you were a woman."
Han Yu was stunned for a moment, with a puzzled look on his face: "Master, why do you say that?"
Sect Master Lu said, "Look at Wanhua Sect. Yun Xi and Lu Yi are a Taoist couple. Lu Yi took out eight pieces of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, while they only have one heavenly material and earthly treasure of the fusion realm. And we in Winter Valley have four heavenly materials and earthly treasures of the fusion realm. The final formation is probably worse than that of Wanhua Sect. If you were a woman, our formation would be stronger than that of Wanhua Sect."
Although the Wanhua Sect has closed its mountain, the magic weapons that can be used for communication still exist. Sect Leader Lu also specifically asked Granny Hua what Lu Yi should pay attention to when setting up the formation to avoid mistakes, and naturally understood the situation.
Han Yu: “???”
He was so confused that he didn't know what to say for a moment.
The formation was set up very smoothly. After a few hours, the terrifying pressure dissipated. Lu Yi exhaled a breath of foul air and looked at Master Lu and Han Yu: "Master Lu, I have fulfilled my mission."
Sect Leader Lu's expression became serious. He bowed deeply to Lu Yi and said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lu. Qingzhou is in turmoil right now. If it weren't for your formation, our Winter Valley inheritance might not be able to be preserved. The secret would be discovered sooner or later."
Han Yu also said to Lu Yi seriously: "Thank you, Brother Lu. If Brother Lu has anything to ask for, Han Yu is willing to go through fire and water and never refuse!"
Lu Yi smiled and said, "Master Lu, Brother Han Yu, you are too polite."
At this time, Lu Yi thought for a moment and said, "Handy Winter Valley is a treasure land. If the secret is exposed, I'm afraid this formation may not be able to defend it. I have another formation here. If it can't be defended, we can abandon this treasure land and save the lives of the cultivators in Handy Winter Valley."
Lu Yi had seen many extremely mysterious ancient formations at the exit of the Donglin Ruins before. He could not understand them at the time and recorded them down. Now, his formation realm is getting higher and higher, and he can already understand a small part of the essence of the formations.
