The void above the sky is pitch black, bottomless black. Even though you can see the turbulent clouds covering the land of Kyushu downwards, and the radiant sun, moon and stars upwards, the void in the middle is...
It is completely dark. It is as black as ink, without any light. Precisely because it is so completely black, any light will be particularly conspicuous in this background.
For example, the comet that was transformed into a fortress by the demon outside the territory is actually very dim in color. As long as there is a little light around it, its traces may be covered up. But precisely because the surroundings are pitch black, its gray-white light will appear so dazzling.
, allowing people to see clearly at a glance.
Compared with the dim white light of the comet, the starlight that suddenly lights up is much brighter and more dazzling. The stars are brilliant, and they seem to be connected point by point. If you look closely, they are quite similar to the stars in the sky.
"The Great Formation of the Zhoutian!" Even though Wu Jie was not proficient in the study of astrology, he could see the origin of this starlight at a glance - except that the Wanshou Mountain was going to be arranged in this void to attract the power of the stars in the Zhoutian.
How could such a ray of light appear by such a coincidence in such a large array to intercept comets!
Wu Jie was not the only one who was surprised. Almost at the same time that he thought about the origin of Starlight, at least four or five of his fellow disciples had already exclaimed in surprise.
Those who can be selected to participate in this star-catching journey are naturally all the elites of Qingyang Temple. How could these elites not recognize the Zhoutian Formation?
In the blink of an eye a few times, the sky surveying vessel, which had been suspended in the void for quite some time, shook slightly, started to move again, and flew towards the starlight that suddenly appeared.
The Sky Surveying Shenzhou flew very fast, so the starlight continued to grow in the eyes of Wu Jie and others, and soon turned into a brilliant galaxy.
At first glance, this galaxy looks exactly like what you see when you stand on the ground and look up at the sky, but there are countless light points flowing in the galaxy. If you look closely, you will see that each light point emits a different aura, and some
Deep, some light, some thick, some sharp... Wu Jie just glanced at it and saw at least twenty different scents.
"What kind of method is this?" he asked curiously.
"You really underestimated the immortal cultivators of this era!" Jasmine also had a look of surprise in her eyes, "The Zhoutian Formation is actually not that rare, it is just a way to communicate with the stars with magic power and borrow the power of the stars. But these
People can transform the power of stars and organize them into different types... In our time, no one would do this."
"Is this more powerful?" Du Ruo asked the most straightforward question.
Jasmine thought for a while and said: "It doesn't matter whether the formation is powerful or not, the key lies in how to use it. Using the power of Zhou Tianxingdou to form a large formation is already a very powerful method. But this power is a little scattered - mainly because you all
The level of the world we live in is too low, and the barrier between us and the endless sea of stars is too great, so the power we can borrow is very limited."
"Because the power of the stars is insufficient, Longevity Mountain has modified the formation and concentrated the power of the stars into different categories - this idea is indeed amazing." Wu Jie sighed, "There are indeed things that no one has thought of!"
"Yes! To be honest, it's not a big deal, but most monks in the world worship the ancients. The Zhoutian Formation is a truly famous formation, with extraordinary power and reputation. How dare those monks who call themselves Longevity Mountain dare to attack it?
The courage to make changes is truly remarkable!”
Jasmine said, and couldn't help but praise: "If you talk about the cultivation level of the monks in the Jiuzhou Realm, it is of course a mess, and it is not worth mentioning at all; but when it comes to the character, you are really quite outstanding. If we are
In that era... quite a few
People are worth cultivating." Wu Jie smiled slightly, feeling quite proud in his heart. He had already witnessed Jasmine's high vision countless times. It really takes a little bit to make this ancient demon god say "quite outstanding"
Outstanding ability.
What's rare is that what Jasmine praises is not a specific person, but all the monks in the entire Kyushu Realm. This is not an appreciation of a certain person, but an affirmation of the entire Kyushu Realm!
Jasmine is not an ordinary person. She is a disciple of the Supreme God who ruled all the worlds in the past, and she is an immortal demon god whose cultivation far exceeds that of anyone in the Kyushu Realm. For her, even if she has achieved the Golden Pill, it may not be possible.
It’s worth taking a second look, and this group of cultivators in the Kyushu Realm who haven’t even achieved the golden elixir yet
Scholars, he got such praise from her! He should be proud of course! Wu Jie's heart surged with enthusiasm, and the aura on his body couldn't help but rise two points. Zhang Long next to him naturally felt it and asked doubtfully: "What's wrong with you?
?Did you feel something in that formation?"
Wu Jie was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, laughed hurriedly, and said: "I have been trying to condense the fire of stars some time ago, but I still have no clue. This time I saw their formation, and suddenly I felt...
I feel that it is a pity that the accumulation is too shallow, and in the end I still failed to break through the bottleneck."
Zhang Long suddenly understood, patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry about it. You are so young, you will have a lot of potential in the future. Even the Nanming Lihuo magical power that no one has been able to refine has been refined by you. This star fire is also
How can it be so difficult to defeat you!"
"Yes, relax and don't be anxious. In fact, your progress is already very fast!" Li Xiaoyao also advised, "Don't think about cultivation all day long. You should also take a good rest and relax more."
."
In their view, Wu Jie's cultivation speed could be described as "unbelievable" in just 40 years, from a mortal to the middle stage of martial arts training, and even faintly approaching the late stage of martial arts training. It should be noted that ordinary monks
After a hundred years of cultivation, he has achieved Gang Qi, and he can proudly say, "I am very qualified and can practice much faster than ordinary people...". Wu Jie started practicing at the age of seventeen, and became successful in practicing Gang at the age of thirty-two.
It only took fifteen years!
This speed is no longer a matter of "fast", but "crazy"!
Among the twenty-seventh generation disciples of Qingyang Temple, there are many people with extraordinary talents. People such as Zhu Sanqi, Chang Si and others have made rapid progress and are expected to cultivate Gang Qi within a hundred years; but Yi Ti,
An Ziqing, Xie Minghuan and Yanfeng are all top-notch geniuses.
Those four people all had different circumstances, and their starting points were much higher than ordinary people, so they were able to cultivate Gang Qi one by one in just a few decades.
But Wu Jie's background is very ordinary. He is a young doctor who accidentally ate thousands of years of ginseng. He was able to cultivate Gangqi in just fifteen years, and even An Ziqing, who had a strong foundation, was left behind by him. Seriously
It’s a bit incredible!
If it is incredible to say that he cultivated Gang Qi in fifteen years, then twenty-four years later, he has cultivated to the late stage of Gang Qi, which is already beyond imagination!
From refining Gang Qi to finally condensing it into true essence, a fast person can do it in about a hundred years - there is a cultivation maniac among the twenty-sixth generation disciples of Qingyang Temple, and it only takes just
Ninety-eight years.
But... at Wu Jie's current speed, if there are no accidents, it will probably take him another twenty to thirty years to condense the true essence.
It takes fifteen years to cultivate Gang Qi, and another fifty years to condense True Yuan. While an ordinary monk may still be slowly practicing this level, he is already a Condensing Yuan monk, which is the pinnacle of cultivators in the world in general...
…
Thinking of this possibility, the elders of the twenty-fifth generation may be able to calm down a little, but the guardians of the twenty-sixth generation often feel very uncomfortable.
As elders, they started practicing at least sixty years earlier than Wu Jie. Some of them even started practicing three hundred years before Wu Jie. But until now, most of them are still in the stage of refining Gang.
Becoming true essence... At Wu Jie's rate of progress, it is only a matter of time before he catches up from behind.
They couldn't help but feel a little depressed when they thought that they would be surpassed by the younger generation, and that they would be surpassed by a crushing force.
Wu Jie's cultivation has improved rapidly. As elders, they are naturally happy. But if they had a choice, they would rather Wu Jie not progress so fast, not be so evil, and not let them lose face too much.
Although I am definitely losing face, it can at least be a little better...
Li Xiaoyao naturally thinks so too. As the last of the 26th generation disciples of Qingyang Temple, he is a talented person with extraordinary qualifications. In just a few decades, he has mastered the unique skill of combining magic and martial arts.
He even shone brightly during the Three Teachings and became a world-famous swordsman. It would be impossible to say that he didn’t have any pride in his heart. But compared with Wu Jie, his achievements that he was proud of in the past were nothing.
It doesn't look shiny enough, or even inconspicuous.
In the 14th year of his entry, he single-handedly defeated the coalition forces of the eight sects of the Demon Sect in the performance of the three religions; in the 15th year, he cultivated Gang Qi; in the 32nd year, one man cut mountains and divided the sea with one sword, shocking the group of cultivators; in the 35th year,
A battle in Changning City, overwhelming the demon sect and evil ways, burning countless sea monsters, and shocking the world...
In the past, when people mentioned Qingyang Temple, they would first mention the seven disciples: Jiang An, Zhang Long, Dagon, Zhou Zhou, Li Wushang, Li Goudan, and Li Xiaoyao. But now, when people mention Qingyang Temple, most people will mention it first.
When it came to Wu Jie, not even An Ziqing, Yi Ti and Luo Yu, who were fellow Four Disciples with him, had a chance to share any light.
This situation really makes Li Xiaoyao very depressed!
So as long as he has the chance, he will persuade Wu Jie to slow down his practice and enjoy life - this is not out of malice, but because he feels that if Wu Jie continues to be so brilliant, life will always be in turmoil. It is really...
In life, it is always good to be able to relax for a while!
Well, at least that's what he really thinks. As a senior who has lived for 130 years, he feels that his understanding of life is quite valuable.
However, Wu Jie didn't listen to Li Xiaoyao's words at all. He just nodded politely and threw the words out of his mind.
In his opinion, he is definitely not a cultivator. He still has a lot of spare time every day, not only for rest and recreation, but also for some hobbies!
If you ask him who is the madman in cultivation, it is of course only Du Ruo. There are twelve hours in a day, and Sanjie Du spends at least ten hours in cultivation. This hard work is really beyond the reach of Wu Jie!
Whenever he wanted to be lazy, he would look at Du Ruo who was practicing hard in the World of Heavenly Books, and the lazy thoughts in his heart were ruthlessly crushed and kicked into the gutter on the roadside.
People are like this, and it is easy to learn well and bad. Xunzi said, "A hemp is growing in hemp, but it will be straight without support. The white sand will turn black in nirvana..." This is what Xunzi said.
If there is only Jasmine in the world of the Book of Heaven who eats, sleeps and sleeps all day long and constantly comes up with bad ideas, Wu Jie may have followed him and become a bad person; even if there is Du Xin, who is kind and upright in nature, Wu Jie will not be a bad person at best.
Learning to be lazy is inevitable - although Jasmine eats and sleeps, Du Xin is not much better. She spends most of the day sitting next to the sacred spring in a daze, not knowing what she is thinking about.
.
But these two unreliable people are not the only ones in the world of Tianshu, there is also Du Ruo.
In terms of ability, Du Ruo is definitely last among the three residents of the Book of Heaven world. But in terms of influence on Wu Jie, Jasmine and Du Xin combined are not as good as her!
No matter Jasmine or Du Xin, they are outsiders after all. Maybe Jasmine will be sad to hear this, but that's the fact.
But Du Ruo is different. She is Wu Jie's sworn sister. The two grew up together, and they are no different from siblings. In addition, the two are similar in age, and they have always got along well with each other. Their relationship is very good. Du Ruo got the opportunity that year,
The first thing that came to mind was to give Wu Jie a hand; and for the first time in his life, Wu Jie, who had always had a peaceful temperament, got angry and it was precisely because of Du Ruo's death.
It was impossible for Wu Jie to ignore Du Ruo's existence. For him, the first thing he cared about most in the world of the Book of Heaven was this sworn sister with a perverse fate. Seeing Du Ruo practicing diligently every day, he was naturally infected.
Li Xiaoyao said that he cultivated too hard. Perhaps compared to ordinary immortal cultivators, Wu Jie was indeed more diligent, but compared with Du Ruo, what does this mean?
Since ancient times, outstanding figures have often appeared in groups. In fact, it is the same principle. One person's diligence can drive the diligence of a group of people; one person's success will often drive the success of a group of people!
Wu Jie sometimes asked himself, between him and Du Ruo, who helped whom more?
This question is difficult to answer. Without Wu Jie, Du Ruo would have either become a foolish man who died in vain, or he would have become a ferocious spirit driven by the Three Mountains of Demons. Either way, the end would be tragic; and without Wu Jie, Du Ruo would have died in vain.
Either he will become one of those casual cultivators who are constantly fighting and arguing, or he will become an ordinary disciple of a certain sect who is lazy and does not seek to make progress.
It is a confusing matter who helps whom more. People help each other and support each other in order to reach a higher place.
Even if the Supreme God is a freak with no relatives or friends, he must have received help from many people when he was practicing Taoism. Wu Jie's ability is far worse than that of the Supreme God. Of course, he needs to help each other more with people.
For example, in this star-catching operation, he designed the Heavenly Fire Formation with the help of everyone in the Heavenly Book World, and the formation plates of the formation were handmade by the Huandan Patriarchs. In actual combat, the human world is even more needed.
Only by the concerted efforts of experts from all factions can the power of the formation be fully unleashed.
The same is true for the Zhoutian Formation in Wanshou Mountain. Although this formation can draw the power of the stars and turn it into a heaven and earth net that covers thousands of miles, it also needs the support of all the factions in the world. There are several types of materials needed to refine the formation.
For special materials, the inventories of each faction were searched. Among them, the item of Earth Flame Copper was obtained through the luck of God by hollowing out Yunyang Mountain.
Wu Jie also played a big role in this. He was responsible for purifying almost all the Earthly Flame Copper. The Earthly Flame Copper can be purified into Earthy Flame Copper Essence, which can be perfectly integrated with various materials and is already
It is the most advanced among the known high-yield array base materials. The fusion power of the Earth Flame Copper Essence purified by Wu Jie using Nanming Lihuo far exceeds that of similar materials, and has almost reached the level of those rare materials.
Based on this alone, Wu Jie's contribution to the entire Zhoutian Formation construction process cannot be ignored. Not to mention that he also participated in the refining of several other materials - during that time, he was so busy that he worked almost day and night.
, I don’t even have time to sleep. If it weren’t for the amazing endurance of my flawless body, I’d probably be exhausted to death!
As far as Wu Jie knew, during the construction of the Zhoutian Formation, there were several coolies like himself who had skills in weapon refining that could not be replaced by others.
In normal times, people like them would not dare to say they are superior, but at least they can thrive with this ability. No matter whether they are casual cultivators or sects, they must be polite to them - Wu Jie used Nanming Lihuo on his fellow sects.
When refining various materials, not to mention the masters, even the masters of the master generation once ran to his door and queued up without shame. The smiles on their faces were so enthusiastic that it made him uneasy.
situation.
But this time, faced with a major event affecting the entire Kyushu world, they, the technical staff, could only put down their dignity and honestly change jobs and become coolies.
Wu Jie never felt that there was anything to be proud of because he could master Nanming Lihuo, so he didn't feel it was hard or embarrassing. However, Tao Tu once told him that the masters of weapon refining were quite complaining about it.
"You can't even distinguish between serious and serious! No wonder these people are obviously very talented, but their cultivation level is not very high." Tao Tu said disdainfully at that time, "To cultivate Taoism, you must first cultivate your mind. These people have been lost in their talents.
I have lost my original desire to seek the truth!”
Wu Jie deeply believed this, and was even more secretly vigilant, reminding himself not to make the same mistake again.
The examples of those predecessors are right before our eyes. If those who seek the truth are deceived by their own talents, they will fall into the dilemma of "the capable work more" and "the wise worry more". If they want to achieve something in the future
, it’s even more difficult!
While thinking about it, the Xuntian Shenzhou arrived in front of the Zhoutian Formation. Under the guidance of the magic light, it bypassed the unactivated formation and came to the rear of the formation.
Wu Jie looked back and saw countless colorful beads floating in the air. Several beads formed a formation, and the small formations were connected together to form a huge formation that could not be seen at a glance.
Although the formation has not yet been fully activated, he can already feel that the formation is creating a strange connection with the countless stars in the sky, absorbing wisps of starlight and refining it into strands of star power.
Some of the small formations have accumulated a lot of star power, causing the entire formation to emit a faint light - the starry sky they saw just now was probably emitted by these formations.
More formations are still accumulating the power of stars, but as time goes by, more and more star power is accumulated, and more and more formations begin to shine.
When Wu Jie and the others were led to the defense area of the formation in charge of Qingyang Temple, the entire Zhoutian formation was already more than 80% bright. From their angle, it was like being in a sea of resplendent stars, as if just stretching out
If you reach out, you can hold the bright stars in your hands.
Along with it, the surging power of the stars continued to surge around them like a sea tide.
"What an amazing formation!" Wu Jie couldn't help but praise, "With such a large formation, we will surely be able to bring life-saving rain to the world in time!"
