Chapter 386 External and Internal Troubles
Apparently, Li Fan was not the only one who noticed this.
After the battle, Yan Hang and others did not show the slightest excitement when they saw the fallen wood turned into ashes in the raging fire.
"Damn it, these monsters seem to have become a little stronger." Yan Hang looked at the yellow wound on his arm with an unpleasant expression and cursed angrily.
The other four were also injured to varying degrees.
"Let's report the situation of this battle quickly. I hope they can come up with a good solution as soon as possible. Otherwise, we probably won't be able to hold on for much longer." A cultivator named Li Shifeng among the four sighed and said.
Yan Hang snorted coldly but did not refute.
He opened the Dutianlu and closed his eyes to report.
Li Fan was also checking the Dutianlu.
Compared to when he had just entered the Five Elements Cave, the information recorded in it at this time was much richer.
"The overall completion rate of the formation is 78%."
"It's within the plan, and even a few points faster than originally expected."
"But clearly, things are getting a little out of control here."
"I don't know what measures the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance will take next."
Li Fan's eyes flickered slightly, and his hands kept moving.
Can the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance complete the construction of the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array as scheduled?
Li Fan was almost certain that it would be possible.
At this time in the Five Elements Cave Heaven, most of the main forces of action were just Nascent Soul cultivators.
The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance has no shortage of gods.
Obviously, not all has been accomplished.
If the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance finds that the current forces are insufficient to complete the target mission, it will naturally increase its investment.
As for whether the cultivators in the Five Elements Cave Heaven at this moment can survive until the day when support arrives, that is another matter.
…
Just as Li Fan expected, the growing strength of the cave monsters caused panic among the people.
Qi Buyi quickly came out to calm people down.
First, she explained to everyone that due to the principle of the five elements' mutual restraint, the fusion monster of the five attributes that everyone believed would not happen.
In the most extreme cases, only a monster with four attributes will be born.
But difficulties will only occur at the end of the process of [Five Elements Return to One].
What everyone needs to deal with are mainly monsters with two or three attributes combined.
Secondly, the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is already aware of the current situation of the Five Elements Cave.
Support will be here soon.
Moreover, the scale of the reinforcements is very large, and the total number is more than all the monks currently working in the cave.
There is no need to worry.
Although everyone was skeptical about Qi Buyi's words.
But after receiving the definite guarantee, the monks finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The mood eased a little, and I worked in anxiety, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
Time continued to pass in this increasingly tense atmosphere.
In the blink of an eye, two years have passed since entering the Five Elements Cave.
During this period, monks did come to provide support.
But it was obviously far from the large-scale reinforcements promised by Qi Buyi.
When questioned, Qi Buyi always made excuses.
However, the arrival of two new Hedao monks made everyone feel more at ease.
There were more new monks coming to support, and through them, everyone knew why the reinforcements had not arrived for a long time.
In the past two years, the outside world has been in turmoil and many major events have occurred.
First of all, there are external concerns.
The Five Elders Society re-deployed its troops on the border, repeatedly showing signs of testing and provocation.
Unlike in the past, the other party does not seem to have any intention of starting a large-scale dispute.
He just concentrated all his strength on Fengleizhou, which is separated from Tianlingzhou.
According to folk rumors, it seems that the Five Elders covet the mystery of the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array and want to snatch an entire state from the Wanxian League.
Conduct a comprehensive and detailed analytical study on the Tianxuan Locking Soul Array.
Li Fan knew that this was just a superficial excuse.
The real target of the Five Elders Council should still be the void in Tianlingzhou that gave birth to the Five Elements Cave.
"It seems that the truth cannot be hidden anymore. Indeed, the unusual movements of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance in Tianlingzhou over the past two years are enough to arouse the other party's vigilance." Li Fan thought to himself.
In addition to the pressure brought by the Five Elders Association.
The situation in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance was not peaceful either.
During this period of time, many voices opposing the popularization of the Tianxuan Locking Soul Array suddenly emerged from various places.
And the person who spoke out was not just an unknown person.
Most of them are cultivators with the cultivation level of God Transformation or above who occupy important positions in various states.
No one knew what had happened to these monks who had just recently expressed their absolute support for the Soul Locking Array construction plan.
But he suddenly changed his tune and expressed his opposition clearly.
And it is not just for the sake of opposing, but rather it is based on sufficient arguments and reasons.
Here’s their take:
As we all know, no matter how sophisticated the formation is, there will always be a day when it will be understood and cracked.
In the past history, there have been many cases where protective magic arrays were leaked, but the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance was completely unaware of it and was caught off guard by the other side.
This is also the reason why the protective magic circle had to be replaced as a whole every once in a while.
Now that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance has gone to great lengths and spared no expense to build the Profound Heavenly Soul Locking Array that covers all of its territory, can it be guaranteed to be effective forever? If it is analyzed and cracked by the Five Elders Association shortly after it was built, wouldn't that be a huge joke?
In addition, these people are skeptical about whether the Tianxuan Locking Soul Array can achieve the effect advertised.
This is because the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord, who has been lingering in the territory of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, has become more and more rampant recently.
Many high-ranking monks in the state could not escape his clutches.
Even some states that had already completed the construction of the Tianxuan Locking Soul Array only slightly slowed down his killing rhythm.
In the end, he was let slip away.
Besides, what if he was caught?
Since the Five Elders can cultivate one Thousand-Faced Demon Lord, they can definitely cultivate two or three Thousand-Faced Demon Lords.
When it was first promoted, the greatest significance of the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array was to make it impossible for all the Five Elders Association monks in the territory to escape.
Now what?
Others are openly wreaking havoc in your territory, and you are powerless to do anything about it.
What is the use of this Tianxuan Soul Locking Formation?
I have to say that these people's views are really reasonable.
So much so that when they raised questions to the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, it resonated with many people.
The wave of opposition grew stronger and stronger, but the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, contrary to its usual practice, did not punish these opponents, but instead fell into a strange silence.
It was against this backdrop that the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord became more elusive and his killings became more brutal.
In addition to internal and external troubles, Li Fan also heard an interesting story.
The situation is becoming increasingly tense. In Jiushan Prefecture, where the Five Elders' Associations of the Ten Thousand Immortals meet, an organization called Lingyuan Sect has been thriving recently.
It really attracted the attention of many monks.
All this is because there is a unique skill in the Yuanling Sect.
The more people practice at the same time, the faster the practice will be.
