In the next few days, the originally peaceful Xiaoji Palace gradually fell into chaos, and the tense atmosphere before the war spread as if overnight.
A large number of magic circles and restrictions were activated one after another, and a large number of low-level disciples quietly evacuated from the palace and disappeared without a trace, and no one knew where they were settled.
Just two days after the beautiful woman talked with Bai Mengxin and others, Master Hanli, who was practicing in the stone room in the Xuanyu Cave of the Xuling Palace, suddenly opened his closed eyes.
The distinguished elder of Xiaoji Palace looked at the other people in the room who were sitting in silence with their eyes closed, and slowly spoke:
"A few days ago, I have taught the relevant tips and key points to all my colleagues. Based on your talents and opportunities, I believe it is not difficult to comprehend this secret technique in two days."
After listening to this, Yan Yun and others showed complicated emotions, and then they all opened their eyes.
The monk smiled slightly and replied: "The young monk has understood everything correctly and has thoroughly understood the Dharma."
The old woman responded proudly: "I have understood this secret technique half a day ago."
Yan Yun said calmly: "Yan has no doubt."
As for Bai Mengxin and the middle-aged man in Qingshan, there is no need to go into details.
"Now that everyone understands it, we will no longer delay and start working immediately. The time required to break through the bottleneck this time may be as short as a few days or as long as several months. No matter what the result is, we hope that everyone can do their best to overcome the bottleneck." Go ahead and complete this secret technique in one go.”
"To be honest, I am quite worried about what is going on outside the palace and look forward to leaving here as soon as possible." Master Hanli said with a serious face.
After hearing this, the rest of the people naturally had no objection.
Afterwards, Master Hanli and three other people took out a stack of already-refined formation flag formation disks from the storage bag, stepped out of the room, and began to arrange several mysterious formations around the cave.
Although Yan Yun and the others did not need to practice it themselves, they naturally did not want to miss the opportunity to observe the secret technique, so the cold flames on their bodies ignited again and they walked out of the room, observing every move of the three Xiaoji Palace monks.
Since all the equipment for setting up the formation had been completely refined, Master Hanli and the other three people set up the formation at an astonishing speed, declaring it completed in just a cup of tea.
The several-layer magic circle has a pile of rocks as its core, showing an eerie scene, with faintly visible runes flickering in the void.
Master Hanli's figure flashed and then floated in mid-air. After looking around the magic circle, he suddenly spun like a wheel and all his fingers moved in unison.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen magic arts shot out of the air, submerged into the magic circle, and turned into more than a dozen wisps of blue smoke, disappearing in a flash.
The entire array made a low buzzing sound, and various colors of spiritual light intertwined and flickered. The black jade cold air that originally permeated the bottom of the cave seemed to be disturbed at the same time, and actually splashed in all directions in the excitement, like cold water poured into hot oil. generally.
However, only on the huge boulder in the center, the milky white cold air mass was as stable as a rock, and it seemed not to be affected at all.
"Very good. Although the more Xuanyu cold air is, the better, but it is still necessary to ensure that the surrounding cold air remains stable, so as to increase the possibility of breakthrough."
Master Hanli was suspended above the pile of rocks, looking around for a moment, and finally a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
At this moment, Yan Yun's sight was focused on the five light pillars several feet high that suddenly appeared in the pile of rocks under the influence of the power of the magic circle.
These light pillars were all radiant and appeared in five colors: gold, red, silver, ink, and yellow. They were obviously condensed with pure spiritual power, and they just happened to surround the huge stone.
Moreover, there are strands of rays of rays of light connecting each other between each light pillar, and they shine as if they are one unified body.
When the formation was taking shape, as Yan Yun's eyes moved, the green light around him suddenly bloomed, instantly turning into a stream of green light, heading straight for the white light pillar.
Immediately after the light converged, Yan Yun stood on the top of the light pillar with his plain clothes fluttering.
The movements of the old woman and others were equally fast. In just the blink of an eye, they also stood on other light pillars. After looking at each other for a moment, they sat cross-legged on them.
Of course Yan Yun acted in the same way.
At this moment, the spiritual power contained in his body gradually began to move slowly according to the secret techniques he had obtained earlier, and the Shura Holy Fire attached to his body subconsciously became brighter and more dazzling.
Yan inside the cuffs suddenly let out a low cry, and at the same time, the marks on his hands immediately changed.
Suddenly, where Yan Yun was sitting, a flash of white light suddenly appeared, then gradually gathered and solidified, and finally transformed into a huge light lotus seat.
This white lotus flower is crystal clear, as thin and moderately thick as cicada wings, and stunningly beautiful!
At the same time, when the white lotus first appeared, the Shura Holy Fire attached to Yan Yun's body seemed to be stimulated by some kind of stimulation, and suddenly it surged to half of its original size.
Seeing this situation, Yan Yun frowned slightly, with a hint of surprise on his face.
The secrets taught by Master Hanli did not mention that these arrays actually had the magical effect of enhancing the power of the cold flames. This was undoubtedly a surprising and unexpected discovery.
If you can master the method of arranging this magic circle, it may be of great use in the future.
However, Yan Yun soon realized that as the Asura Holy Fire surged, the mana consumption in his body also accelerated several times.
Obviously, there seems to be some shortcomings in the method of using the magic circle to enhance the power of the cold flames.
With this thought in mind, he turned his attention to the monks and the monks in green shirts on the other light pillars.
I saw that these Nascent Soul Stage monks were just like me, with light lotus seats of similar shapes and sizes blooming under their bodies at the same time.
These people were also sitting in the lotus seat, experiencing the feeling brought about by the sharp increase of the cold flames.
Yan Yun's eyes wandered several times and he glanced at the cave wall on the right.
In that milky white cold light, the ray of Taiyin True Fire he released was hiding here quietly, slowly absorbing the surrounding mysterious jade cold air, seemingly not attracting anyone's attention.
Fortunately, the entire Void Spirit Palace was restrained by the Forbidden God, otherwise he would not have dared to release this ray of psychic true fire so wantonly.
However, before Yan Yun could look back, Master Hanli in the sky took the lead and said:
"It seems that the extreme cold flames of all Taoist friends have been cultivated to a certain level, which is enough to last for a long time. In this way, Master can safely enter the mysterious jade cold air. Next, all Taoist friends, please follow the previous agreement , use all your strength to activate the cold flames.”
After Master Hanli finished speaking these words solemnly, the dry blue ice flames all over his body trembled violently, and the whole person flew above the milky white cold mass and slowly landed.
Accompanied by the loud "rumbling" sound, the blue flames and white light alternated and shone several times, and the Confucian General's body was completely integrated into the cold mass. What is difficult to understand is what method this dwarf used to allow the dry blue ice flames and the black jade cold energy to coexist peacefully after a fierce collision.
This is like an extra layer of milky white light mask outside Han Lishang's body, making it look particularly eye-catching.
At this moment, the middle-aged man in blue shirt and Bai Mengxin flipped their hands over at the same time, and each had a light blue array disk in their hands.
The two of them skillfully clicked a few times on the array disk. In an instant, a colorful light curtain suddenly rose around the entire array, covering Yan Yun and others.
Immediately, the wind roared outside the light curtain, and a white tornado spontaneously formed outside the light curtain. The violent storm enveloped the light curtain with its huge roar, making it impossible for the outside world to see clearly what was happening inside.
In other areas of the cave, the milky white cold air that was originally surging fiercely gradually returned to tranquility the moment the hurricane appeared.
Only that blazing flame is still hiding in a corner, constantly eating away at the cold atmosphere around it.
As time passed, the hurricane in the chaotic pile of rocks never stopped, and apart from the sound of wind, there was no other abnormal sound.
However, after seven or eight days, many monsters finally appeared outside Beiming Island. They appeared swaggeringly, divided into two groups, and launched attacks from the inland and the ice sea.
Along the way, evil spirits filled the air, and evil spirits soared to the sky.
Some families and small sects living around Beiming Island were naturally frightened and fled in all directions. They moved to their bases and took refuge away from Beiming Island.
With such a huge momentum, Xiaoji Palace naturally learned the news quickly.
Almost at the same time, they immediately activated the restriction in the island's Tianyuan Yinmai Han Eyes, causing the cold air on the island to suddenly become several times colder than usual, with wind and snow blowing between heaven and earth.
The demon tribe led by the Ten Thousand Demon Valley coming from the inland direction has already been fully prepared.
As soon as they saw this situation, they immediately dispatched a large number of low-level monsters to station outside the island in order to gradually consume the cold energy stored on the island. At the same time, they sent dozens of seventh-level monsters and above to form several teams to launch attacks on the center of the island. .
As for the monster army coming from the direction of the Ice Sea, most of them were not afraid of the cold air and wind and snow of Beiming Island. They broke into the island directly, and thousands of monster beasts instantly broke into pieces and rushed towards Xiaoji Palace. go.
Although Beiming Island is not large, once these monsters enter it, they disappear into the ice and snow like mud cows entering the sea, leaving no trace behind.
Naturally, the high-level monks of Xiaoji Palace would not allow these monsters to approach the Ice City easily. With the help of magic circle restrictions and endless cold air, a bloody battle quickly started on the island.
Several demonic beasts with transparent bodies like jellyfish walked loomingly on a snowy field against the white wind and snow.
This kind of monster called "Han Mei" was born in the cold air of heaven and earth, so even though they are only fifth to sixth level monsters.
Facing the snowflakes flying all over the sky and the severe cold that can freeze the air, not only do I have no fear, but I feel refreshed and feel as free as a fish in water.
Suddenly, the leading six-level cold charm stopped. Several pairs of red eyes growing on both sides of its body stared at a place with particularly dense wind and snow on one side with a puzzled look. Several other level five cold charms also looked at it. He was also stunned and turned his head to look there.
Immediately afterwards, a sharp sound broke through the air, and then several rays of red light shot out from the wind and snow. The speed was astonishing. They flashed by and penetrated several Han Mei's bodies in an instant. The demon elixir in their bodies was actually ejected. Divide into two.
With a few "plops", these cold charms shattered like ice sculptures and scattered on the ground.
At this time, figures flickered in the wind and snow, and a female cultivator wearing a white cloak walked out slowly.
Although the woman's face was blurry, she glanced at the broken ice in front of her coldly, and then she flashed without hesitation, and disappeared without a trace in the wind and snow a moment later.
More than a hundred miles away, there was a three-foot-tall bull-headed monster with a human body, holding a heavy knife larger than a wheel on its waist to support its body.
This monster has a pair of black curved horns on its head, and its body is covered with shiny blue fur. It moves slightly slowly, which is funny and a bit ridiculous.
However, if there were practitioners observing this monster at the scene, I am afraid they would not be able to laugh. Why?
That monster is not an ordinary "doll", it is actually a seventh-level monster that is about to enter the stage of transformation.
Since Beiming Island has fully opened the air restriction, only monsters above level eight can ignore this restriction and fly freely.
Therefore, if other monsters want to reach Xiaoji Palace, they must rely on their own feet and move forward step by step.
This monster is obviously not good at using escape techniques, so it can only move forward step by step.
Suddenly, the giant blade on the monster's shoulder trembled slightly, as if something disappeared without a trace in an instant. Immediately afterwards, a huge roar came from the side, and then a shrill scream came from the depths of the lake.
A sharp knife mark several feet wide and two feet long appeared strangely on the ice, as if it was bottomless.
At this time, the bull-headed monster slowly glanced at the knife mark.
In an instant, a large amount of blood poured out, and a small part of the body surfaced. Judging from the style of the clothes, this is a male disciple of Xiaoji Palace.
It turned out that this disciple originally planned to use water escape to lurk under the ice, waiting for opportunities to attack the passing monsters. However, he did not expect that this seemingly stupid level seven monster would see through his plan at a glance and kill him with lightning speed.
A fierce light flashed in the monster's eyes, and with a wave of one hand, it sucked the half corpse into its hand.
Then, it opened its big mouth and began to eat the corpse.
In just a cup of tea, half of the corpses entered the monster's belly. The monster patted its belly with satisfaction, and then continued to move forward carrying the heavy knife.
Similar killing scenes continue to be staged throughout Beiming Island. Whether low-level monsters are attacked and killed by sneak attacks, or monks in Xiaoji Palace are killed and devoured by monsters, it has become the norm.
However, both sides participated in the battle with low-level monsters and monks below the Golden Core stage. The Nascent Soul stage monks and eighth-level monsters turned a blind eye to such conflicts.
On the one hand, the Nascent Soul monks were hiding in the ice city and never showed up; on the other hand, the eighth-level monsters were galloping past from high altitude, not caring about the fierce fighting underground. (End of chapter)
