Chapter 697 Taixu Ancient Formation
The Taoist robe was soaked with cold sweat. Ye Zang felt the tingling pain in his spiritual aperture. He immediately gathered his consciousness back and stopped observing the ancient world.
The sound of footsteps came from behind. Ye Zang looked back and found that it was Xue Ning from Shenyin Valley.
She is holding a silver-gray wooden order in her hand, with the Tai Chi Liang Yi pattern engraved on it. The dormant breath in this wooden order is very familiar. It was left behind by the ancestor of Shenyin Valley. Ye Zang once fought with him in the Tianlao discussion and is very familiar with that person's spiritual consciousness.
“Ye Daoyou, is that you?”
Xue Ning looked at it with beautiful eyes, she touched her sleeves and walked over slowly.
At the same time, she frowned slightly and looked at Ye Zang up and down. Although the appearance of the person in front of her was different, the breath of Yuan Shen's consciousness had a familiar feeling, which was the same as that of Xue Ning's previous contact. There was something familiar about that person, but she wasn't sure.
Ye Zang took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, restrained his Dharma Eyes, and said calmly: "Fairy Xue, let's think about how to get out of here first."
Xue Ning heard this, her eyes were like Thinking.
Ye Zang was surprised. How could Xue Ning be so calm when she came to such a strange place? It seemed that she had expected it.
Could it be that her visit to the God-Devil Rift Valley was ordered by the ancestor of the Great Sky Shenyin to find the boundary of this ancient clan.
"Datian Shenyin, the ancestor of Shenyin Valley has lived for endless years and has existed since the end of ancient times. He is almost a figure of the same era as Master Jackdaw. This person probably knows that there is an ancient world outside the world. If he discovers the secrets of the Colorless Realm due to the existence of clan creatures, what kind of turmoil might be caused..."
Ye Zang was thinking in his heart.
Baili Shenyin, for the sake of his obsession with immortality, this person has used secret methods to survive to this day and seize his body to die. This kind of concealment from heaven, if he had been exposed to the heavenly ways of the ten continents in the past, he would have been wiped out. , just like the reincarnation prison.
But the great age is approaching, and no one can be sure of the variables. By then, even the Heavenly Dao of Shizhou may not be able to do anything to him.
Xue Ning pursed her lips and then said: "In the Valley of My God, there is an ancient book that records a mysterious place. That place is the boundary of the world. It exists between reality and illusion. It is transcendent and invisible. I thought there really was such a place."
"Do you have a way to break the formation and leave?" Ye Zang asked.
"The formation here cannot be found with the physical body alone. It is the Taixu Ancient Formation. It is said that it was created by a certain formation master in ancient times to observe the Taixu illusion that Hedao monks can go to. Yes, so the soul can only be observed when it is separated from the body." Xue Ning said thoughtfully.
Hearing this, Ye Zang frowned slightly.
Where the two of them are now is already the ‘real world boundary’ of Shizhou.
Such a place was originally inaccessible even to Daotai real people. It can only be accessed with the help of this ancient ancient Taixu Formation.
"This place is so weird. I'm afraid the soul will get lost after leaving the body and will not be able to return." Ye Zang said. This was also the reason why he didn't use his soul to observe the formation. Jiang Ni could faint just by walking in her physical body. Once her soul left her body, she would be like a sheep in a tiger's mouth.
"Brother Ye, don't worry, I have the ancient order given by the religion, which can guard the soul and prevent any sneaky attacks." Xue Ning glanced with her narrow eyes.
Ye Zang listened and remained silent.
He suddenly asked: "By the way, Saint Xue, have you seen where Chief Cao went?"
Hearing this, Xue Ning's eyes moved imperceptibly. She glanced at Ye Zang with her beautiful eyes, and then smiled and said, "I don't know about this. I was separated from him before I got here."< br>
"I sensed from the mark of spiritual consciousness left by Chief Cao that he is no longer here, but he is still alive and I don't know where he went." Ye Zang said attentively.
"This place is not trivial. Let's leave first, inform the other geniuses in the secret, and uncover the secrets of this place together." Xue Ning tightly held the Liangyi Wooden Order in her hand and said.
Seeing this, Ye Zang paused for a few breaths and said: "My spiritual consciousness is weak, let me protect Saint Xue. When the soul finds the position of the formation eye, you and I can work together to break it."
Xue Ning looked at it with beautiful eyes and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Ye, you can come here without using any magic weapon. How can you say that your spiritual consciousness is weak? If I didn't have the wooden order given by the master, , I am afraid that my consciousness has been lost for a long time, so you are the only one who can find the formation, but don’t refuse, otherwise you and I will be trapped here.”
Ye Zang paused for a few breaths, then stretched out his hand and said calmly: "Holy girl, can you lend me the wooden order for a look?"
Xue Ning kept staring at Ye Zang's deep eyes. She was silent at first. He said something, and then seemed to finally confirm something. He slightly curved his mouth and said with a smile: "Shou Ye, your strange methods are becoming more and more sophisticated. If it weren't for the spiritual aura that was emitted when you used the power of Dharma Eye just now, I would still be here. I really can’t recognize you.”
Looking at Ye Zang’s unattractive face, Xue Ning’s narrow and beautiful eyes were filled with a playful smile.
Ye Zang was startled, and was too lazy to pretend. He touched his sleeves and robes, and the bones of his face creaked and changed, turning into his original appearance, rich and handsome, with eyes as deep as the dormant stars.
“Saint Xue, I haven’t seen you for a long time, but your spiritual eyes are still so tricky.” Ye Zang said with a smile.
"Tsk tsk, let me tell you, Leader Ye, with your current reputation and magical powers, how can you still act so cautiously? Who else among your peers can deal with you?" Xue Ning shook her head.
"You often walk by the river, and your shoes don't get wet. It's always good to be careful." Ye Zang raised his eyebrows and said.
“Forget it, let’s not talk about this.”
Xue Ning looked at Ye Zang with her eyes narrowed and a smile, and then handed the wooden order in her hand to Ye Zang.
As soon as Ye Zang took it, he felt as heavy as a mountain. The spiritual consciousness inside condensed into a substantial form, and a unique sea of chaotic consciousness evolved from the wooden token on its own.
These methods turn decay into magic, and even rotten wood can channel spirits.
Ye Zang observed with his Dharma Eyes and found that many of the Tai Chi and Liang Yi techniques of the Butian Sect were engraved inside. When Tianlao was discussing Taoism, Baili Shenyin used these methods to force Bai Yujing to Outside the realm of falling dust, these methods can communicate the great road between heaven and earth.
"The interior is filled with divine consciousness patterns engraved by my master, which can protect the soul from any strange things." Xue Ning said.
“A good method.”
After Ye Zang took over the wooden order, the whispers of those ancient creatures, including the feeling of spying in secret, immediately disappeared.
However, Xue Ning in front of her felt a little uncomfortable.
She instantly realized that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at her, as if they wanted to see through her. Xue Ning's expression instantly turned pale.
Seeing this, Ye Zang immediately enveloped her with spiritual consciousness and magic, helping her to isolate herself from prying eyes.
"Those, those creatures are..." Xue Ning's lips turned white and her eyes widened.
"Saint Xue, do you know where those creatures come from and why they exist in the world?" Ye Zang tilted his head and probed.
Xue Ning's beautiful eyes trembled slightly, and she paused for a few breaths. She did not answer Ye Zang's question, but said directly: "Ye Chief, it's better to leave this place quickly."
Ye Zang looked at her and seemed to know something. , but looked unsure, and became even more confused.
“Last time Tianlao discussed it, the identity of the young man from Shenyin Valley has been almost confirmed by all the great sects. I think many people have the same question as me. Dare I ask who the senior is? How can you live for such a long time? "
Whether it is Qin Xijun, Yan Nanyi, or this Xue Ning in front of me.
They are both saints of the Shenyin Valley, but what they know is very different. Yan Nanyi and Qin Xijun left Shenyin Valley because they discovered the secrets in the valley, and the elders wanted to sacrifice their spirits. Blood, in the past few years, there have been reports of the mysterious disappearance of the Son and the Saint.
However, there must be other means and magical powers to keep Baili Shenyin alive for so long.
"Brother Ye, this is the secret technique in my valley, why can I tell you." Xue Ning's eyes trembled slightly, thinking. "I was rude."
After that, Ye Zang didn't ask any more questions.
He then sat cross-legged on the ground, holding the Great God Hidden Wood Token.
In an instant, Ye Zang's consciousness sank in, and he was using the power of his soul to activate the restrictions in the wooden order.
After a few breaths, Ye Zang felt that the space around him was stunned. His soul left his body and floated into the depths of darkness. Looking back, Xue Ning was guarding his body. Not moving.
"It seems that I can't feel the passage of time..."
Ye Zang's current state is very strange, which makes him feel a little uncertain.
A moment of brilliance is eternity.
Regarding the description of the Colorless Realm, Ye Zang once heard Mu Jianli and others describe it when he dreamed back to the Nine Saints era. They said that the Colorless Realm does not have the laws of heaven and it is a strange place where reality and illusion are mixed. .
And Ye Zang now seems to be there.
He took a deep breath and calmed down. The surrounding space was still dark and deep, with only the dust floating in the air and the dim skylight pouring from above.
The Dharma Eyes on his forehead opened wide, and the power of Ye Zang’s spiritual consciousness suddenly spread out, like ripples on the sea.
With the persistence of the Shenyin Wood Order, Ye Zang's soul was protected very firmly, and there were no whispers from those ancient creatures in his ears.
Huhu——
In a moment, Ye Zang’s Dharma Eye penetrated the deepest place. Sure enough, after his soul left the body, he quickly found the eye of the Taixu Ancient Formation in the depths of darkness.
It is ten feet wide, like the star disk of the Milky Way, clinging to the edge of darkness, rotating slightly, silently, and making no movement.
“What a wonderful formation, rarely seen in the world.” Ye Zang said in surprise.
This kind of formation can only be observed by the Yuan Shen. If the monks under the Hedao want to use their methods to detect it, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky. It will take hundreds of years.
However, Ye Zang has now determined that the power of this formation is not a killing formation, but the ability to form a distorted space.
His magic power is constantly affecting the space where Ye Zang's Taoist body is located.
So, it is not so much that Ye Zang’s Taoist body has shrunk in the Blood God Forest, but rather that the space around him has shrunk. This kind of magical power is very mysterious and simple.
Ye Zang’s soul immediately sat cross-legged in the Taixu Ancient Formation.
Within his divine veins, the Great Zhou Tian Formation and the Shocking Formation were activated to the extreme. Ye Zang's spiritual orifice on his forehead burst out with light, and his Dharma Eyes were observing the formation.
The formation path spreads like a spider web.
“With my current spiritual consciousness, it will take a lot of time to understand this ancient formation.”
However, the law of time here is even slower than it was in the prison of reincarnation. , it can almost be said to have stopped, time is crawling slowly like a snail.
“It’s because I am too close to the colorless realm. I have now reached the boundary of the ancient creatures. I only need one step away to enter the restricted area of life.”
Ye Zang's eyes darkened slightly, but at this boundary, between reality and illusion, no creature from the ancient tribe could pass through, so how could Ye Zang be able to enter, and besides, he didn't want to go in.
Although those ancient creatures are weak now and not as powerful as they were in the Nine Saints era, they are not something that Ye Zang can deal with now.
He let go of his mind and devoted himself to understanding the Taixu Ancient Formation.
Time is meaningless here.
After an unknown amount of time in the boring retreat, Ye Zang's soul was as calm as an old pine tree, his heart was as still as water, and the heart in his physical body seemed to have stopped beating.
It seems like ten years have passed, and it seems like a hundred years have passed.
When Ye Zang opened his soul's eyes, the look in his eyes was filled with endless vicissitudes and simplicity.
"How long has it been..."
Ye Zang sighed and shook his head.
He looked back and saw that Xue Ning, who was guarding his body, had changed her position, stood up and stood with her hands folded, but remained motionless, but as long as she kept staring at her for a long time, she could be seen His eyebrows seemed to twitch.
Ye Zang thought, and his soul immediately returned to his body.
Just as he came back to his senses, Ye Zang opened his eyes.
“Hey, so fast?” Ye Zang asked directly in his first sentence.
"I just got up and am going to try to set up a spirit protection formation here to protect your body..." Xue Ning said, seeming to know what Ye Zang encountered, her beautiful eyes were brilliant Lian Lian, who looked very frightened, raised his eyebrows and asked: "Is it possible that there is no time principle in the space where Brother Ye is?"
"I can't remember clearly. Anyway, I was at least in retreat. "It's a piece of cake," Ye Zang said casually.
"Sixty years!" Xue Ning said in shock: "A flash of brilliance, a blink of thousands of years, that place really exists... By the way, Brother Ye, you have understood that ancient formation."
Ye Zang took a deep breath, his eyes were shining, he smiled and said: "Of course I have understood it."
As he said that, Ye Zang curled his fingers around, and an invisible formation pattern was suspended on his forehead. On his fingers, Xue Ning could not see it, but he could feel that the space in Ye Zang was distorting, flowing like a big river.
"Let's go, it's not a good place to stay here for a long time."
Ye Zang stood up, and then took Xue Ning's wrist with one hand. The latter's beautiful eyes trembled, but he did not break away.
The next second, Ye Zang suddenly activated the Taixu Ancient Formation and pressed it somewhere in the darkness at will.
Huhuhuhu——
Suddenly, the space in all directions was shaking, as if it was going backwards at a very fast speed.
The floating dust gradually disappeared, and the surrounding world changed rapidly. The scene almost became blurred. The Blood God Tree appeared in the surroundings, and returned to its normal size in a few breaths.
