After staying on the battlefield for five days, Li Yuanba decided to return to the checkpoint. He needed to consider how to meet the real person Li Shiming.
The main body, Li Shiming, has been waiting on a mountain peak close to the Zhengdao pass for a day. He mainly needs to observe the situation on the battlefield and study the formation on the Zhengdao side.
This formation is jointly guarded by three righteous forces, Shushan Sect, Qianhuan Sect and Qianye Temple. If Li Shiming dares to enter the level directly, he will immediately be left behind by the Jindan elder of Shushan Sect who guards the level.
A true alchemist like him would be a treasure in any large sect, so how could he be allowed to take risks at will?
Besides, this foundation-building battle is between Qianba Temple and Senluo Sect to resolve their hatred, and it has not yet developed to the extent that the other two sects of the Right Path will also participate.
If you want Shushan Sect and Qianhuan Sect to participate, you must at least take the initiative to invite Qianye Temple.
So no matter from which aspect, Li Shiming cannot enter the battlefield.
Li Shiming stayed outside the checkpoint just to explore the formation. He has the identity of a true disciple of the Shushan Sect. The formation will not attack him. As long as he does not enter the formation to activate it, there will be no problem.
He just followed the defense line and found a weak point in the formation, and tried to find out the loopholes in the formation here.
It is impossible for such a large formation to be completely created by a formation master or a senior formation master. Normally, such a large formation is designed by a formation master, and then arranged by formation masters at all levels. Only the key formation nodes are arranged by senior formation masters.
Or a formation master can operate it.
The weak points he found should have been constructed by intermediate formation masters, and there were many mistakes in them.
Of course, even if there is a formation master here, it will be difficult to take advantage of any mistakes in the formation.
The overall operation of the large formation can cover up these tiny flaws, preventing the formation master from finding exploitable possibilities.
But Li Shiming is different. With the help of IBMz15, as long as he finds a vulnerability, he can analyze how to exploit it through rigorous calculations.
After several hours of hard work, he finally mastered the loophole here and was able to enter and exit silently.
However, Li Shiming did not proceed immediately. He needed to cooperate well with Li Yuanba. He could not stay on the battlefield for too long and would return immediately as soon as supplies were exchanged.
He still needs to practice 'Purple Qi from the East', and the time will be the morning of the next day.
Li Yuanba returned to the Jieshan checkpoint, first went to verify the body with the deacon in exchange for contribution points, and then came to the exchange pavilion.
In the exchange pavilion, he exchanged all his contribution points for formation knowledge. Senluo Sect's formation system is mostly based on Yinhan spiritual energy, which is a relatively unique inheritance.
He even saw the complete knowledge of the Netherworld Ghost Realm Formation, but this kind of formation that requires third-grade formation materials to deploy is not something he can currently redeem.
For formations that require third-grade formation materials, all major sects have the same attitude and strictly control their spread.
This blockade is for all the monks in the entire Golden Core Stage, because once the knowledge of this type of formation is spread, the formation masters will compete with the Golden Core Stage monks for third-grade materials, which will make the already few third-grade materials even more tense.
It can be said that this is also a kind of knowledge monopoly, a knowledge monopoly that all major sects participate in, whether they are the righteous sect or the demon sect.
Li Yuanba had more than 10,000 contribution points, all of which he exchanged for formation knowledge. Due to different types of formation knowledge, these formation knowledge were placed in fifteen jade slips.
This is also the only knowledge that Li Shiming currently needs. Li Shiming has also exchanged a lot of formation knowledge in Shushan Sect. It can be said that Li Shiming's accumulation of formation knowledge is improving rapidly. He feels that the breakthrough of Star Light Sea from the formation method is no longer so
Out of reach.
Therefore, Li Shiming needs all the formation knowledge he can get to supplement his total formation knowledge.
Li Yuanba exchanged the loot for a batch of second-grade elixirs unique to Shiwanda Mountain. Anyway, it would be useless for him to keep the spiritual weapons and spiritual objects of ordinary demon cultivators and Buddhas. It would be better to exchange them for the unique elixirs of Shiwandashan.
It has some benefits for the body to make alchemy.
After doing this, he left the level again.
Elder Lu was still watching from a distance, but this time he turned around and went back to the cave, took out a puppet, injected a stream of spiritual power into the puppet, and placed the puppet in the temporary cave where he normally rested.
With this aura, and the fact that he placed a jade plate of identity in the hands of the puppet, both the Jindan elders outside and the formation would think that he was still here.
He took a long breath, and the breath in his body dropped rapidly, and he quickly dropped from the golden elixir stage to the late stage of foundation establishment.
He tapped his body a few times with his fingers. This secret method allowed him to suppress his breath in the later stages of foundation building, and would not be noticed by the Arhats of Qianye Temple and the righteous Golden elixir monks.
Of course, as long as he takes action beyond the late stage of foundation building, his secret method will be automatically unlocked.
Under normal circumstances, no golden elixir would do this, because even the defense of a golden elixir in this state has dropped to the late stage of foundation building, which is the weakest state.
Once you are attacked by a monk of the same level, you may die on the spot before you can unleash your original strength.
Elder Lu originally planned to find an opportunity to meet Li Yuanba, but he didn't know that Li Yuanba didn't stay at the Jieshan Pass for a long time. He returned twice in total. Both times, he left immediately after handing in the task and handling the affairs. There was no problem at all.
Leave him any chance.
Li Yuanba's caution forced Elder Lu to take risks. For the sake of a possible magical power, Elder Lu thought it was worth it.
Elder Lu took out another identity jade disk, which was the identity of a sect foundation-building monk.
He just left the level with a new identity and followed Li Yuanba's aura.
This was the mark he left on Li Yuanba's body when he patted Li Yuanba gently for the last time.
Li Yuanba could detect nothing about Jin Dan's methods. Although Li Yuanba also checked his body, he did not find anything abnormal.
Li Yuanba made it clear this time that he was going to the predetermined location, a position close to the Zhengdao defense line.
The main body on the other side, Li Shiming, also passed through the formation and entered the edge of the battlefield, waiting for Li Yuanba.
He felt quite at ease. He arranged a formation with seventy-two formation flags and rested here.
"How many foundation-building monks have the Senluo Sect put into the battlefield?" Zhikong Arhat asked in a deep voice.
"About one thousand two hundred!" Zhiming Arhat quickly gave the answer.
"Jue Tu's situation is unstable. He hasn't killed for too long. I'm afraid he won't be able to restrain himself if it continues. Let him go to the battlefield!" Zhi Kong Arhat thought for a while and said.
"It depends on how Senluo Sect will compete with our sect in the next three hundred years without these 1,200 foundation-building monks!" Zhiming Arhat said with a smile.
He has great confidence in Buddha Juetu. Once Buddha attains Buddhahood and becomes an Arhat, he will be able to add a powerful Arhat to Qianye Temple. Even if his level is similar to that of Elder Sword
, are able to fight with Elder Jian.
These 1,200 foundation-building demon cultivators are the corpses of the Arhats who slaughtered the Buddha.
Juetu Buddha's uncontrollable murderous intention can be controlled by himself as long as he reaches the Arhat level.
The efforts Chiba Temple has put in over the past hundred years are completely worth it.
Zhiming Arhat waved his hand at the formation behind him, and the formation opened. A murderous intention was no longer suppressed by the formation and soared straight into the sky.
"Amitabha!" Zhikong Arhat recited the Buddha's name in a deep voice, and his murderous intention was suppressed by this Buddha's name.
At this time, a figure appeared in the formation. This was a monk wearing black robes, and his height reached 2.5 meters.
A height of 2.5 meters is extremely rare in the world of immortal cultivators. When using secret techniques, there are even taller demon cultivators than him.
But at a normal height of 2.5 meters, it is rare to see him.
Buddha Kakutu was not extremely strong like the ordinary Buddhas from Chiba Temple. Instead, he was thin, with sunken eye sockets, high cheekbones, and a pair of red eyes.
If you hadn't known that he was a half-step golden elixir Buddha, you would have thought that he was the corpse of some demon cultivator.
His appearance is almost 70% similar to that of Lian Zhi, and he looks more like a demon cultivator than a demon cultivator.
In particular, his murderous intention left him without any of the Buddhist will and compassion of the Buddha.
"Go, this is your way to advance, kill thousands of people of the same rank to become your Buddha!" Zhikong Arhat pointed in the direction of the battlefield and said slowly.
"Uncle, I can't suppress it anymore!" Buddha Juetu made a hoarse voice, which sounded like he was being suppressed.
After Juetu Buddha finished speaking, he clasped his hands together in a salute, then jumped into the air and rushed towards the battlefield.
"Namo Amitabha Night, Duotagadu Night, Duodita Night, Amitabhavi..." Buddha Buddha recited the mantra of rebirth. His killing was for all living beings and for the Buddha.
This is his belief.
As the rebirth curse in his mouth became louder and louder, the murderous intention in him not only did not weaken, but became stronger and stronger.
Killing intent is just like the spiritual thoughts of other monks, it is the way he perceives it. The murderous intention released is even wider than the range of spiritual thoughts.
Four demon cultivators formed a team and were searching for the Buddha. Suddenly, they felt a chill all over their bodies, and an indescribable sense of evil enveloped them.
It's funny to say that demon cultivators are actually afraid of evil. They should be the biggest source of evil in the world of immortal cultivators.
Evil is an expression of emotion, and hidden in the emotion is a more terrifying murderous intention.
When the four magicians were on alert, murderous intent filled their brains and souls, and they instantly froze in place.
The devil-like Juetu Buddha appeared, and his tall figure pounced on the four demon cultivators. He did not use any spiritual weapons, and his hands turned into sharp claws, tearing the bodies of the four demon cultivators crazily.
With flesh and blood flying everywhere, the four demon cultivators were torn into pieces by the Buddha before they knew what was happening.
Juetu Buddha's whole body was soaked in blood. With his half-step golden elixir, which can be said to be half-step Arhat's strength, he could completely avoid being soaked in blood, but he enjoyed the taste of blood extremely, with an intoxicated look on his face.
"Kill!" He howled hoarsely.
On the Senluo Sect side, a Jindan elder discovered the undisguised aura in the battlefield.
"Half-step Arhat, damn it, why don't you have any information!" Elder Jindan roared.
He immediately sent a message to the other Jindan elders, and soon two more Jindan elders appeared.
"Where is Elder Lu?" Elder Jin Dan asked with a frown.
"I didn't receive the message in the cave, so I must have some insights!" Another Jindan elder replied.
"How come Elder Lu is in seclusion now? A half-step Arhat has emerged from Qianye Temple. If we don't make a decision, I'm afraid the sect's foundation-building monks will suffer heavy casualties!" Elder Jindan said anxiously.
The other two Jindan elders also looked helpless. Both sides were four Jindan and Arhats. This was a fair war and was recognized by both parties.
On the Righteous side, there were several Jindan monks from the Righteous sect in a very close pass, but they were not involved in the war.
But once the Jindan elders of Senluo Sect enter the battlefield and violate the rules of war, the righteous Jindan monks over there will definitely use this as an excuse to surround and kill them.
This is Zhengdao's conspiracy, which is to let the Senluo Sect make a choice between protecting the foundation monks or sending out the golden elixir monks at the risk of being killed.
No matter what the situation is, it will be beneficial to Chiba Temple.
"Inform all the monks immediately to return and withdraw from the battlefield!" Elder Jindan had no choice but to save one by one.
He also knew that when they were unable to enter the battlefield and there was no formation communication coverage within the battlefield, he would not be able to notify every foundation-building monk.
The location of the battlefield is exactly at the junction of Shiwandashan and Zhengdao. Both sides here are very restrained and take the initiative not to cover this area with formations, making this area one of the few places where long-distance communication using formations is not possible.
Orders were quickly issued, but it was already morning, and most of the demon cultivators who had rested had entered the battlefield.
"I can only hope that the true disciples can contain this half-step Arhat!" Elder Jin Dan shook his head and sighed.
Although the Half-Step Arhat is strong, it is not without methods of restraint. The life-saving objects in the hands of true disciples, such as talismans, have the power to threaten the Half-Step Arhat.
However, several Jindan elders did not know about the situation of the Buddha. If they knew that this was a half-step Arhat who killed himself to become a Buddha, they would not think so.
Talismans or other life-saving attack items take time to activate.
Besides, it is still a problem for an attack like a talisman, which is almost one-tenth of the power of a magic weapon, to harm the half-step Arhat, Juetu Buddha.
Juetu Buddha is not even a little bit better than the ordinary half-step Arhat. It can be said that he has ceiling-level combat power in the foundation-building stage.
The reason why the Arhats of Chiba Temple are so relieved about the death of Buddha is because they have this understanding.
Li Yuanba did not have as sensitive a perception as Elder Jindan, and he was still rapidly approaching the rendezvous destination.
Elder Lu behind him also did not sense the half-step Arhat aura of Juetu Buddha. It was not that Elder Lu was not strong enough, but that he had suppressed all his own secret techniques to the late stage of foundation building, so that he could escape from the golden elixir monks on both sides.
