Those who are able to receive the privilege of leaving a photo-taking bead are all cultivators who he has identified as having something unusual in them.
There were four people in the first wave, and three more were added later, making a total of seven monks.
These people all have different methods. Even if Shen Lian has a spiritual power of 30,000 feet, it is inevitable that some cultivators with magical methods can detect him.
However, using the recording beads that do not cause any fluctuations in spiritual thoughts would make it more secretive.
"This five-spiritual-root cultivator doesn't deserve the title."
Among the seven people there was a Jindan cultivator with five spiritual roots. I thought he had good skills, but I didn't expect his fighting power to be so poor. The only thing that was worth looking at was the five elements spell he cast.
"Is this demon cultivator practicing the art of transformation? How did he turn into a demon crow? This technique is so weird."
"No, this is a ruthless person with a human and a demon body. He is a demon... no, a half-demon."
"Catch it and study it carefully"
"This female cultivator has such exaggerated pectoral muscles, but her aura is surprisingly masculine, and even a bit demonic."
…
"Ninety-nine percent of the time it's the residual soul of a Nascent Soul. What a good chance it is to meet a Nascent Soul master."
"The Wilderness is a good place. Even Yuanying comes here to hide."
After investigating the seven monks who were of concern one by one, Shen Lian had some preliminary ideas in his mind.
"Let's get started."
"If you want opportunities, life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are in the hands of God. It all depends on your luck. My things are not so easy to get."
“Buzz!”
In an instant, in the colorful mountains and fields, a ray of light that penetrated the sky and the earth illuminated the surroundings.
After the spiritual light bloomed in the sky, it released boundless colorful miasma, which covered the miasma area that had been dispersed before.
At the moment when the colorful miasma was released, the colorful spiritual light released by it just merged with the miasma and seemed inconspicuous at all.
The spiritual light formed an enormous three-layer millstone in the sky. The top layer of miasma rolled into an enormous frenzy, tearing all the miasma within hundreds of miles and covering up the traces of the colorful spiritual light.
The shape of the millstone is upside down. The top layer is also the largest, with a radius of hundreds of miles. The middle layer is a hundred miles in size and is filled with ochre-colored light, sucking in all the soil and rocks in the mountains.
As for the bottom layer, it was directly buried in the earth. The previous half of the mountain was like the core of a millstone. At this moment, it also made a buzzing sound as the millstone turned.
"call out!"
A sound of breaking through the air was heard, and a broken arm from the rotating second millstone broke through the earth and rocks, flew out, and pierced into a hill in the distance.
However, after just a few breaths, the extremely powerful suction force rolled up the hill bit by bit, and the flying arm was rolled back into the millstone.
The place where the triple grinding wheels touched made a harsh squeaking sound.
"Master, help!"
"Daoyou, save me."
…
Screams and roars reached Shen Lian's ears. He sat cross-legged on the spot, unmoved. If one wanted an opportunity, one had to be prepared to die. This was true throughout the entire world of immortal cultivation.
Of course, he didn't want to kill everyone, as that would be too conspicuous.
He adjusted the probability of killing a group of people based on the combat power level of the Golden Core in the Wilderness, and planned to kill about 30% of them.
This probability is much better than other secret realms where the whole team is wiped out and 50% of the people die at once.
After the formation started to operate, all kinds of unique and killer moves were used.
"Sure enough, I was wrong."
As the dealer, Shen Lian adjusted the formation in real time.
When the last wave started, the monk with five spiritual roots whom he had not been optimistic about before actually patted his head, and with two "pops", a bull horn covered with patterns grew out of his head.
The sharp corner flashed with five kinds of spiritual light: gold, wood, water, fire and earth. It suddenly extended to more than a foot long. With a slight scratch, the formation that covered the person in front of him was cut open.
"Five-color stone magic weapon!"
At the moment when the five ox horns flashed with colorful light, Shen Lian couldn't help but raise his eyes.
It’s not a magic weapon, it’s a magic treasure.
Compared with the Five Elements Mountain, this horn growing on the cultivator's forehead is still a bit ordinary. It has already become spiritual, and it keeps flashing with colorful spiritual light.
Which good person made this magic weapon?
It would be fine if you could make swords, spears, sticks, axes, hooks and forks, but you made horns, and they are so thick.
"Sizzle."
The moment the five-colored bull horns appeared, seven major formations were opened in succession in one breath.
This cultivator also consumed a lot of energy, taking two third-level spiritual medicines in succession, plus a large number of mid-grade spiritual stones.
But these additions only allowed him to open up the six major formations again.
“Damn it!”
Su Lin's face turned grim, and with a thought, several yellowish-brown high-quality spirit stones in his storage ring fell into his dantian and shattered, transforming into rolling earth spirit power that was injected into his body.
Then, his five elements technique began to work frantically, circulating the top-grade earth spirit stone throughout the body and transforming it into his own five elements magic power.
The five-colored bull horns, having regained the support of magic power, once again moved towards the formation space in front.
During this process, his figure kept dodging, avoiding the energy of the formation that was impacting him.
"Sizzle."
When the colorful bull horns cut through another layer of the formation, invisible sword lights flashed all over the sky before his eyes.
The sharp aura had not yet arrived, but Su Lincai felt like a thorn in his back.
He uttered a string of obscure spells, and then made some hand gestures and pressed them on the bull's horns.
"Spirit God help me!"
“Woo woo woo!”
In an instant, there was a loud whimpering sound from the bull's horns, and a ball of colorful mist rolled up and enveloped Su Lincai, colliding with the oncoming sword light.
“Puff, puff, puff.”
The sword light created countless sword holes in the colorful mist, but the sword holes disappeared as soon as the colorful mist shook slightly.
Su Lin, who was in the colorful mist, vomited blood, but the holes in his chest and back could not heal quickly.
But at this moment, he did not dare to stay. He madly practiced his skills and injected magic power into the five-colored ox horns. He cut through the triple formation again, rushed out of the millstone, and went into the depths of the forest without looking back.
…
"Keep an eye on him."
Dahei, who was sleeping in a nest deep in the earth, suddenly noticed a figure in his mind. He immediately jumped out and began to give orders to the black-horned ants everywhere.
As long as it is in the wilderness, black-horned ants are everywhere.
Shen Lian deliberately let the cultivator with five spiritual roots go. His attention was focused on the demon cultivator with a male appearance and a female body. Let's call this person the female demon cultivator.
The five-root golden elixir just now was extraordinary. It was in the early stage of the golden elixir but could withstand the sword energy attack comparable to that of the late stage of the golden elixir, and it also had a five-colored ox horn on its body.
I don’t know which good person made it.
The female demon cultivator held a flag in each hand. The flag on her left was blood red and dripping with blood, while the flag on the right was covered with skulls and billowing black smoke.
The two large flags swayed left and right, continuously bombarding the lightning falling from the formation.
Logically speaking, the most taboo thing for demon cultivators is lightning, but this woman, who controls the dual banners of blood and magic, is not afraid of lightning at all.
This woman even deliberately sacrificed her own banner under the thunder.
Shen Lian felt a little unhappy after watching this scene. He felt that the female demon cultivator did not respect him.
Can we be more formal? It's a life-and-death fight.
"It's strange that the soul on this female demon banner has no resentment."
Gradually, Shen Lian figured out some clues, but even a living soul without any resentment should be afraid of thunder and lightning.
…
"Okay, okay, I've come to the right place this time. Let me borrow your lightning formation to cleanse my merit banner."
The old monster Fanshan laughed, revealing a strange cry that was inconsistent with her pretty appearance.
Then, she used her hands to inject magic power into the two large banners.
After the blood flag was nourished by the magic power, a nine-turn blood river gushed out and surrounded the black flag.
On the skull above the black banner, soul shadows with green light flew out from the holes in the mouth, nose and eye sockets, absorbing the blood from the blood river in big gulps.
"Go, go, the masculine yang of thunder will wash away the foul air that has contaminated you, and you can be reborn."
After the living soul with a green glow drank a lot of blood, it was struck a few times by the thunder and its breath became weak, but the green light on its body enveloped "him/them", always keeping the last bit of life alive. Finally, under the thunder, it turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared.
"Oh shit."
Shen Lian was shocked when he saw this scene. For a moment he couldn't tell whether he was a demon cultivator or the female cultivator holding the banner to liberate the souls of the living was a demon cultivator.
This is not right!
What is the rule of heaven and earth? Even the devil cultivators are doing the work of salvation.
This is like a hen crowing and a rooster laying eggs. Isn't this a slap in the face of the righteous monks?
The next moment, Shen Lian had an idea.
He can do this job too!
You can do better than this female demon cultivator.
Steal the skills.
"What is the green light that can protect the soul from extinction?"
Shen Lian took out the formation plate and adjusted the True Yang Thunder Formation. If this matter could bring any merit, he would share half of it.
"Damn it, a demon cultivator should not just kill people, refine souls, light sky lanterns, but start to please the world instead of doing his job. Can you do as well as me? " Putting down the formation plate, Shen Lian muttered.
We must learn from them and then take over this business and make it bigger and stronger.
It's no wonder that this is the nth evil cultivator who is not doing his job properly that he has encountered.
As a demon cultivator, what he does is more righteous than the righteous, how can he survive in the circle? Shen Lian muttered to himself and turned his attention to the old man in the Yuanying stage and the newly promoted Xiao Jindan.
If there are no exceptions, the Five Elements Mountain and the "Record of the Later Heaven's Spiritual Treasures" will fall into the hands of these two people.
I had killed Zi Yang, a half-incomplete Nascent Soul, before, and now I have another half-incomplete Nascent Soul, so it can be said to be a seamless combination.
The combat power of this young cultivator in the early Jindan stage has reached the level of resisting the sword energy in the late Jindan stage, and under the guidance of the Yuanying old monster, he only suffered some minor injuries under the impact of the sword energy in the late Jindan stage.
The sword energy was unleashed by Shen Lian using the transparent sword ball left behind by the old monster Zi Yang. He lowered the power to the late Jindan stage.
The previous cultivator with five spiritual roots and the cultivator with an old grandfather by his side both had pretty good combat capabilities, only slightly inferior to him in the early Golden Core stage.
The plan set up in the Wilderness this time was pretty good, and three interesting cultivators were tested out at once.
Including the previous Master Qiushan, there are four in total.
In such a small desolate area, there are actually four cultivators who have the potential to reach the Nascent Soul stage. You should know that the last Nascent Soul cultivator in the desolate area was more than 10,000 years ago.
This is quite a lot.
Is this place a Feng Shui treasure land?
…
After breaking the sword energy and the illusion formation, Xiao Yang appeared in the spacious cave again, but this time the cave was no longer empty.
The cave was covered with thick dust, and there was a high platform in the center.
On the high platform, a figure was sitting in a meditation posture, but his whole body was charred black and most of it looked like a skeleton.
Not to mention the clothes on his body, which had long been connected to the shriveled corpse and stuck to the skeleton.
"Is this the senior?"
Xiao Yang carefully looked at the half-skeleton figure in meditation and checked it with his divine sense.
"Master, can you see anything?"
He asked, but with his sharp eyesight he couldn't see anything unusual.
"He is indeed dead, and was struck by lightning and is in a terrible state. I can no longer sense his original aura."
Xiao Yang nodded, and with his master's words, he felt relieved again.
His eyes raised slightly, and then fell on several sealed jade boxes in front of him.
Perhaps because it has been so long, the seal on the jade box has weathered away.
He casually released a magical power and opened a jade box next to him. A purple light lit up, and a purple sun warm jade appeared in the jade box.
"Ka Ka." Two sounds were heard, and the remaining two jade boxes also broke into pieces.
In the middle jade box, there was revealed an ancient scroll and a magical tool with spots on its surface.
In the remaining jade box, a shriveled elixir was completely weathered into tiny particles of powder the moment the jade box was opened.
"It seems that what the senior said before was correct. They are indeed three treasures. It's a pity that the Bu Tian Zhi has weathered."
"Pick up the scroll and have a look."
"good."
Xiao Yang nodded, and used his divine sense to roll up the ancient indigo scroll and slowly opened it.
Suddenly, there was a flash of light and misty clouds in the cave.
"The Record of the True Development of the Acquired Spiritual Treasure."
Xiao Yang whispered softly, and then there was an explosion in the Shennian Sea.
"Quickly cut off the divine thoughts!"
In an instant, he withdrew his spiritual thoughts, and the flying scroll closed again and fell down.
“Huff…”
Xiao Yang was breathing heavily, with horror in his eyes.
"Master, what's going on!"
"This is the ancient cloud pattern. Many of the classics and secret techniques that have been circulated in the Immortal Palace are recorded in this kind of writing."
"This secret method comes from the Immortal Palace?"
Xiao Yang's throat moved. Although he had never seen the Immortal Palace, he had heard about it from his master.
"Be careful, look at that mountain-shaped magical weapon."
"Master, it's a second-level magic weapon." Xiao Yang was a little surprised after checking it.
"Look at what's written in the scroll."
…
“Hoo-hoo.”
Half an incense stick later, Xiao Yang was exhausted, "Master, this is actually a secret method that can allow people to transform into a spirit weapon. Then this magic weapon is..."
"It is a magical instrument made of five-colored stones."
"Master, you don't want to possess another body, so this method is suitable for you."
After a long time, Xiao Yang spoke.
"The world is in the hands of the flies and dogs. The path to becoming an immortal is cut off. What's the point of trying another path?"
A sighing sound rang out, and Xiao Yang was silent for a while, "Master, there is always a ray of hope in the world, and the immortal road may not be cut off, maybe there is a fork in the road.
Just like Master, the incarnation tribulation still left a trace of immortal soul, perhaps this method is the Master's destiny."
"Why not give it a try?"
"My remaining soul is not even as good as a newly promoted Jindan now. It is extremely difficult for me to survive. I am afraid it is not fate."
After a few breaths, a faint voice sounded.
"Even if it's not fate, I will definitely go straight to the sky and protect Master."
Xiao Yang did not wait for his master's response. He respectfully bowed to the dry bones on the platform, collected them, burned them to ashes with magic, and buried them in the cave.
"I will never forget the kindness I received in my previous life today."
"I hope that you will be reincarnated and embark on the path of immortality again."
…
"Crack! As Xiao Yang finished his salute, the cave began to shake violently, and fragments began to fall from above.
"The cave is about to collapse."
Xiao Yang came back to his senses immediately, and with his magic power flashing, he rushed towards the direction he came from.
“Boom!”
The three huge millstones above Mount Jiyuan roared loudly, and it was as if a dragon was rolling under the ground.
The entire world began to collapse, instantly tearing apart thousands of miles of miasma and allowing the sunlight that had not been seen for years to once again cover the area.
However, the dust generated by the earthquake rushed into the sky, instantly obscuring everything in all directions.
Amid the surging energy, figures fled outwards in a panic, hating themselves for having their parents not given them two more legs.
There were also those who were proficient in the art of escape, and they used it to move dozens of meters away. However, when escaping through the ground in the midst of the earthquake, it was inevitable that they would be accidentally hit and bruised.
Half of the mountain range that had previously stood in the wilderness collapsed completely, with the main area affected within a radius of one hundred miles, and the ground was still rumbling a hundred miles away.
As for which cultivator could escape, Shen Lian didn't know. His arrangement was to randomly take away a fellow cultivator.
It depends on how strong your life is.
The set probability of falling is only between 30% and 40%.
Those who have bad luck will be given a ticket to reincarnation, so that they can be reborn into a lucky life in the next life.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak.”
Amid the turbulent energy, rocks were rolling, and a man with two banners on his head, Banner Mountain, calmly walked out of the earthquake.
Soul shadows kept appearing on the two banners above her head, helping her to knock away the falling stones.
Half a day later.
The energy burst lasted for most of the day. A total of twenty-one Jindan cultivators were taken away from the collapsed Chance Cave. Among them, only one demon cultivator left, who was the one playing with the banner. The rest were buried in the ground by Shen Lian.
Among the remaining cultivators, the leader of the Bishui Sect was also buried there.
This is not because Shen Lian was deliberately targeting him.
This guy had been seriously injured once before, but he was unwilling to enter the formation again. Who could he blame for not making it?
If he had given up his greed and left immediately, even if Shen Lian wanted to kill him, he would have to chase him and do it himself.
…
A hundred miles away.
On a cliff that was still shaking, Xiao Yang bowed solemnly again towards the center of the collapse.
"A-choo."
Shen Lian, who was still hiding in the formation, suddenly shuddered and felt cold.
