Chapter 124 The complicated human heart and promotion to the third level formation
It is easy to intercept the monks coming and going. As long as they report their names, others will basically not force their way in.
If you are curious and want to take a look, just call Zhong Yongcheng and the problem will be solved.
There weren't many teams coming here, so he spent most of his time at leisure, watching them prepare nearby.
They also set up a large formation, looking at the level of at least three levels or above.
In addition, their elite team is very powerful. In addition to a few of them, there are also twenty or thirty foundation-building monks who are obviously students, including two early-stage Golden Core monks.
Look at them all crowding around Zhong Yongcheng, either because of the resources in his hands or because they want to hug him.
In addition, Su Ze also discovered that Zhong Yongcheng was always followed by an expressionless middle-aged man whose cultivation level was Golden Elixir Perfection.
But every time Su Ze's eyes fell on him, he would feel extremely dangerous, and his threat level was much higher than Song Wan's.
It is very likely that Zhong Yongcheng's father prepared the protector for him, and it is definitely not the ordinary Nascent Soul Lord.
This is the strength of the top second generation of a large sect. I believe he has a bunch of life-saving props. He probably has dozens of rare Nascent Soul Talisman Edicts in his hands. He even has several God Transformation Talisman Edicts. .
Su Ze warned himself in his heart not to mess with this kind of top second generation.
If you can't afford to offend him, you'll have to hide. This time, you'll return the favor and leave immediately.
They had been preparing for this wave for almost three days, mainly because the big formation took the longest.
This is a semi-fixed formation. Both the formation eyes and the formation base need to be fixed and installed. This takes the longest time. The formation flags at the back are finished and can be used after a simple sacrifice.
During these three days, he did not take the initiative to come closer, but just stayed outside silently.
When the formation was completely deployed, Dai Yucheng flew over and reluctantly said hello:
"Senior brother!"
Dai Yucheng nodded and said after a few seconds of silence: "There are some things you don't understand. We want to return to the main sect and don't want to stay outside with no future."
Su Ze nodded and said:
"I know."
"No, you don't know. You are not from the Sect. You have no idea how big the gap is between the main sect and the branches."
He took a breath and said seriously:
"For the sake of being a fellow sect member, let me show you a clear path. Come and follow us. Junior Brother Zhong's father is a powerful elder of the Shang Sect and has the ability to bring us all back to the main sect."
Su Ze shook his head and said: "No, I am a bit hard-boned."
Dai Yucheng was silent.
He also remained silent.
After being quiet for almost a minute, Dai Yucheng said to him:
"Everyone has his own ambitions, and you can't force it. You will go to the formation to take charge of the formation later. It's over now. You and I are clear."
Su Ze nodded expressionlessly:
"good."
Dai Yucheng took out a jade talisman and handed it to him:
"This is the jade talisman for suppressing the formation. You can enter the formation by holding it."
"good."
After taking the jade talisman, Dai Yucheng turned and left.
After injecting mana into the jade talisman and making sure that there was no problem with the jade talisman, he entered the formation again, checked the formation's eye base, and determined whether the high-grade spiritual stones embedded in the formation flag were normal. The mana movement to activate the formation was sure to be smooth.
Meticulous and hands-on.
Later, we will use this large formation to resist the late-stage Jindan monsters. If something goes wrong, it will be the end of the world.
After checking it all over, he returned to the central eye of the formation. There was a formation base made of fourth-level spiritual materials, with complex formation patterns engraved on it, and each node was embedded with a high-grade spiritual stone.
There are a total of thousands of high-grade spiritual stones in the entire formation to provide energy. He only needs to preside over the formation and extract the spiritual power of the high-grade spiritual stones to activate the formation.
High in the sky, Zhong Yongcheng was lying in a luxurious flying boat. Wei Xiyu sat on the left with an expressionless face, and on the right sat another woman who looked not inferior to her, peeling an unknown spiritual fruit and stuffing it into Zhong Yongcheng's mouth.
He opened his mouth and swallowed the fruit with the beautiful woman's hand. He looked at Dai Yucheng who had fallen down and asked:
"Did he agree?"
Dai Yucheng shook his head:
"No."
Zhong Yongcheng paused, with a hint of displeasure on his face:
"Ignorant of current affairs!"
He waved his hand and said:
"When you introduce a giant centipede into the formation, we will gather to kill one first, and then deal with the other one. You can discuss the specific operations among yourselves."
After saying that, he took the beautiful woman next to him back to the cabin, leaving Wei Xiyu with gloomy eyes.
Dai Yucheng and others looked at the lonely junior sister and could only sigh secretly.
"boom!"
With a loud rumbling sound, a ball of flames exploded at the entrance of the giant cave on the mountainside of Jufeng.
With a little hiss, a red-shelled giant centipede more than two hundred meters long crawled out of the hole. It had no wings on its back but could fly into the air out of thin air.
After the flying centipede, a stream of silver mist spurted out from the hole, and another smaller silver flying centipede, only over a hundred meters long, flew out.
Two flying centipedes whose levels corresponded to the later stages of the Golden Core flew toward them. The two Golden Core cultivators met them and then led them away.
Fighting on one side and retreating to the other side, most of the monks were on that side.
Another Jindan cultivator fought and retreated, leading Red Centipede to the direction of the formation.
The formation was not activated at this time. More than twenty foundation-building monks who were cooperating with him to preside over the formation were already in place. Su Ze himself was in the center of the formation.
When the golden elixir monk flew down, the huge red centipede behind him jumped into the formation with its mouth wide open.
"Start the formation quickly!"
Su Ze pressed his palm on the formation base, injecting mana into the formation to activate the formation. The spiritual energy from the high-grade spiritual stones in all nodes was extracted and injected into the formation base. Suddenly, the sky was full of fog, the space was distorted, and countless white light curtains rose. When it rose, the heaven and earth were instantly separated.
The large formation is obviously only a few kilometers in size, but after activating the large formation, the space expands and divides, and the internal space is almost endless.
The huge red centipede entered the formation and immediately ran rampant without knowing its direction.
The huge body broke through a layer of space boundary membrane, but what was behind was not outside the formation, but another layer of space.
As long as the main formation continues to adjust and divide the space, as long as the spiritual energy is sufficient, new space boundary walls will continue to be generated.
There are only two ways to break the formation, either to quickly break through the layers of space and exceed the space generation speed.
Or use the power of thunder to directly tear the entire formation apart.
Of course, if you understand the formation well enough, you can break the formation by your own ability.
But now there is no need to expect this giant centipede to have this ability.
From Su Ze's perspective, standing in the center of the formation, every time the giant centipede hit him, he could feel a huge force rushing towards him. Even if a part of the force was shared by the formation, it was enough to easily knock down an early-stage foundation-building monk. Have to vomit blood.
Outside the formation, the golden elixir monk who had attracted the monster had returned and was attacking the silver centipede with another golden elixir monk.
The two Jindan monks each sacrificed a high-grade defensive magic weapon to resist the Silver Centipede's fierce attack. They also sacrificed a giant seal as big as a small building and a hill, aiming at the Silver Centipede and smashing it. Dozens of foundation-building monks were rushing around, throwing various talismans, seals, spiritual weapons and even talisman treasures for free. Their power should not be underestimated.
This silver centipede is very powerful. It can easily smash a talisman to pieces with every impact. It can also continuously spray out poisonous silver mist, and occasionally spray out powerful silver light.
But the main task of the two Golden Core monks was not to attack, but to defend and protect the safety of many Foundation-Building monks.
The two of them cooperated with each other and actually protected many foundation-building monks from harm.
After spending time in this way, the giant centipede became unable to withstand the attack. It was knocked back steadily. The hard carapace on its body was dented and cracked in some places.
When they were almost exhausted, Zhong Yongcheng walked out of the crowd, with guards at his side. He respectfully held a pair of jade scissors with two dragon tails in his hands, threw them in the air, and said respectfully:
"Please baby, turn around!"
The green dragon transformed into light and soared into the sky. In a flash, it passed by the silver centipede and directly split the silver centipede into two.
The upper half of the silver centipede let out a harsh roar, its carapace raised up, and thick silver mist spurted out, quickly covering hundreds of acres around it.
But this was just a dying struggle. A pile of small mountain stone seals and talismans smashed into the silver mist, quickly overpowering his dying struggle and turning into a piece of rotten flesh and falling down.
The body was cut off and its defense seemed to plummet.
The power of the cut was so terrifying that Duan Zhengrong immediately shouted:
"Junior Brother Zhong's power!"
Immediately, a younger brother followed him and shouted loudly. Zhong Yongcheng squinted his eyes slightly and seemed to enjoy this feeling.
Only then did Dai Yucheng say:
"This beast has been killed. Let's keep working hard to kill the other one."
"Zhengrong, go and summon the junior brothers who are in charge of the formation to prepare for withdrawal."
Duan Zhengrong nodded and flew downwards, but he paused as soon as he started. He subconsciously looked in the direction of Zhong Yongcheng, his ears twitched slightly, a hint of joy appeared on his face and he nodded slightly.
Duan Zhengrong flew down to the formation and transmitted messages to the monks in charge one by one.
A few figures flew out of the formation and quickly withdrew one by one, returning to the air to join the others.
The monks in charge of the formation withdrew one by one, and the stable formation began to shake violently, and the formation's legs were shaken out of their positions with waves of violent impacts.
In mid-air, when everyone returned, Dai Yucheng's eyes suddenly shrank, and he immediately asked Duan Zhengrong: "Where is Junior Brother Su? You didn't notify him?"
Duan Zhengrong was stunned for a moment, his face changed, and he was a little overwhelmed and said:
"I forgot."
"you!"
Dai Yucheng's expression changed drastically, he glared at him fiercely and said loudly:
"Go down quickly and save people."
Flying over the crowd, Ji Jinglun quickly followed. When he passed Duan Zhengrong, he paused for a moment and looked at him deeply.
Only then did the others react and looked at Duan Zhengrong with strange eyes.
We are not fools, and few people here would believe this despicable excuse.
Everyone knows that this is a personal grudge, but using this method in this kind of joint operation will still be spurned and ostracized by everyone.
Duan Zhengrong also understood this, but he still did it because of someone's promise.
"If you want to blame me, I just blame myself for not knowing the current situation. What's wrong with being a dog? Most people can't be a dog."
Just as Dai Yucheng quickly flew down and used his magic power to transmit sound to Su Ze in the formation from a distance, the formation suddenly shook violently, and then burst into dazzling light. The formation that was about to collapse seemed to be injected with a wave of energy. After taking a dose of cardiotonic, it immediately became stable, and a powerful wave of spiritual power erupted.
"This is?"
Time returned to the formation two minutes ago. As the other monks evacuated, the impact suddenly increased several times and Su Ze almost spit out blood.
If his body wasn't strong enough, others would have just collapsed.
There are no other monks to share the pressure with him. Every time the giant centipede hits the formation, part of the impact is absorbed by the formation, and all the remaining pressure is borne by him, doubling the pressure.
In addition, he also has to preside over the formation, mobilize the spiritual power of the formation to resist the impact of the giant centipede, and control the formation to cut new spaces.
Fortunately, his soul and consciousness are far more powerful than those of the same level, so he can barely maintain it.
But this state will definitely not last long. After all, he is only in the middle stage of foundation building. How can he preside over a third-level formation alone.
"Did an accident happen? Where are the others?"
Su Ze didn't think of other places at first, and was still guessing whether something big had changed outside. After all, deep in the Mang Cang Mountains here, it was not impossible for a battle to attract a wandering Golden Core Monster.
If this is the case, his formation is very crucial.
He has never been one to give up halfway. Now that he has made a commitment, he will naturally stick to it.
At least you have to persist until you really can't hold on any longer.
But now, he can still persist.
No, to be precise, it's a counterattack.
Su Ze knew in his heart that there was only one way to die, and he would eventually collapse. If he wanted to break the situation, he had to do the opposite, for example.
With a thought in his mind, his consciousness communicated with the mysterious roulette deep in his soul, and a mysterious The aura lights up, infused with the power from the ancient world, and the speed of spiritual thoughts, magic, physical defense, and all-around strength increases tenfold.
At this moment, unprecedented strength filled his body.
With a thought, the spiritual thoughts that surged tenfold surged into the formation like an overwhelming tide, instantly involved in all aspects of the formation, including all the abandoned formation flags, all under his control.
Then ten times the mana was used to activate the formation, and the spiritual power in thousands of high-grade spiritual stones was mobilized and turned into a torrent flowing into the formation.
Just as Dai Yucheng and the others saw, this third-order formation was completely activated.
Enough powerful spiritual thoughts and mana to fully activate this third-level formation, cutting out numerous spaces with ease, condensing spiritual power, strengthening the space, and firmly trapping the giant centipede in a space, and it cannot be broken open no matter how hard it collides.
Then, Su Ze adjusted the spiritual power of the entire formation, reinforced the space, and slowly reduced the space.
In this state, Su Ze was pleasantly surprised to find that his knowledge of formations had improved by leaps and bounds, as if he had an epiphany.
He himself is a second-level array mage, only one step away from the third level.
Before, I couldn't get a complete set of third-level large-scale formations to practice, so it was difficult to advance to third-level formations.
He will be able to activate a large third-level formation all by himself. All the basic principles and changes of the third-level formation have been clearly passed through in his mind. Every change and every manipulation of the formation is real. The array knowledge was absorbed and understood by him.
In less than a minute of presiding over the formation, his formation cultivation had already reached the third level.
What he paid for was just a mysterious stream of light.
And he still has four such streams of light in his hands.
After his cultivation of the formation was promoted to the third level, many principles of the formation that he could not understand in the past immediately appeared in his mind. He naturally knew how to maximize the power of this formation and how to operate it to completely trap this demon.
