When I came to the Western Region again, it was still the same as before.
Suffering from the erosion of the scarlet aura, the Western Territory has completely turned into a bad land. Hundreds of years after the disappearance of all living things, the air flow gradually stagnated, even the clouds no longer surged, and there was deathly silence everywhere as far as the eye could see.
"I don't know, when the secret formation of creation matures, will the Western Territory be able to return to its original state?"
Regarding this question, Lu Zhong had no answer in his heart.
Moving to the underground palace, there was a teleportation array laid out by the Avatar, which was used to facilitate trade in the Western Region. With the help of this series of teleportation arrays, he could quickly reach the Night City.
A few quarters of an hour later, Lu Zhong appeared in the Night City. Before he even got close to the dark city wall, monks came out to greet him.
A group of monks appeared in front of them. There were seven people in total. Most of them were foundation-building monks. Only the leader was at the alchemy stage. He was a middle-aged man with a long beard and was carrying a sword box on his back.
Obviously, this is a swordsman.
Lu Zhong had no intention of hiding his whereabouts, so the visitor naturally saw him at a glance and greeted him with a cheer.
For the Western Alliance monks, the happiest moment is when the incarnation appears with supplies.
At this time, the shortage of supplies in various dungeons can be greatly alleviated. At the same time, those injured colleagues can also receive medical elixirs and recover from their injuries quickly.
They just waited for the seven people to feel the abyss-like aura from the person coming.
Suddenly, everyone froze in place.
The leader of the alchemy monks was fine, but he just felt a sense of oppression.
But the other six people in the team seemed to feel uncomfortable at this moment, especially the two young people in the late stage of Qi refining. Their complexions suddenly turned pale, and beads of sweat instantly covered their foreheads. At the same time, they felt fear from the bottom of their hearts, as if they were lying in front of them.
Like an ancient behemoth.
Fortunately, this breath only lasted for a moment.
"Senior, my junior, the Lord of the Black Night City of the Western Territory Alliance, Yu Xiaoqing, is patrolling here under the orders of the Alliance Leader. I wonder what your purpose is, senior?" The middle-aged man with a long beard bowed deeply and said in a respectful tone.
When he said this, he couldn't help but compare the aura of the person in front of him with the aura of the alliance's mainstream sword master, and found that the former was actually stronger than the flow sword master, and he suddenly felt a huge wave in his heart.
"With this thing here, can I go in?" Lu Zhong did not answer Yu Xiaoqing, but took out a black jade token and showed it to the other party.
"This is..." Yu Xiaoqing glanced at the jade plaque. There was no writing on it, and then secretly observed Lu Zhong. After a moment of surprise, his attitude became more respectful, "Of course, since he holds this unnamed order, then the entire Western Territory Alliance
Of course, senior can go anywhere in the world!"
After saying that, he stepped aside to get out of the way.
At the same time, send a letter to Night City and ask them to open the ban.
Seeing this, Lu Zhong nodded with satisfaction.
The nameless order in his hand came from True Lord Liujian. The other party once said that with this order, he could travel unimpeded in the Western Alliance. He thought it was just a joke, but he never thought it was true.
Wait until the rainbow light goes away.
The other monks in the team then surrounded the long-bearded middle-aged man.
The six of them are all new-generation monks who have lived underground since they were born. They have never seen the outside world. Their only knowledge comes from various classics. Naturally, they are very curious about a Nascent Soul Lord like Lu Zhong.
.
After learning that most of the supplies in the alliance came from this person.
There was a commotion immediately.
…
Passing through the Night City, Lu Zhong went all the way down.
Affected by the corrosive influence of the scarlet spiritual energy, many underground worlds along the way showed traces of erosion.
Although the low concentration of scarlet aura cannot cause harm to mortal monks, it is enough to corrupt plants. Therefore, the Western Alliance was forced to continue migrating underground, and large areas of abandoned residential areas appeared along the way.
Occasionally, you will encounter spiritual veins, all of which have secret formations of creation.
After the transformation of this formation, the scarlet aura turned into a harmless aura of heaven and earth. Therefore, Lingmaifang City, protected by the formation, looked like a paradise land. Inside, there were countless roads and roads, and every inch of the land was used to the extreme.
To support the increasing number of monks in the Western Alliance.
When Lu Zhong arrived at his destination, it was already half a day later.
This is a fairy city that is beginning to take shape.
The name is "Niyang".
It is located on the newly discovered fourth-level spiritual veins. The scale of its urban construction is no less than that of the Bihai Fairy City. It is currently the core location of the Western Alliance. According to the information provided by the avatar, all the research on the spiritual energy transformation technology of the Western Alliance is concentrated here.
at.
The confidence of the Western Realm monks can be seen from the Western Realm Alliance's move to build Niyang Immortal City.
Apparently he believes that the turning point will come soon.
As soon as Lu Zhonggang flew to the edge of the city, a rainbow light greeted him from the city.
"Why are fellow Daoist Liujian so polite, actually coming out of the city to greet me!" Seeing the rainbow light, Lu Zhong saw its origin at a glance, so he stopped and sent a message to the other party.
"It's the fellow Taoist who is being polite. Fellow Daoist Chen has helped the Western Territory Alliance a lot, helping us to tide over the difficulties. Not to mention that the appearance of the Secret Formation of Creation has given us hope of restoring our homeland. As a distinguished guest like fellow Taoist, we are here.
Come on, if I don’t come out to greet you, it will be unreasonable no matter what.” True Lord Liujian laughed loudly.
Immediately he cupped his hands and said with a smile:
"Dan tea has been prepared in the cave. Fellow Taoist, please come and gather with me below."
"That's fine." Lu Zhong nodded in agreement.
After all, outside is really not the place to talk.
Not long after, Lu Zhong, led by Liu Jian, entered a newly built cave.
The cave is located in the middle of the fairy city, just above the spiritual node. The spiritual energy is quite rich, making people feel very comfortable when they are there.
There were all kinds of exotic flowers and plants along the way, and after passing through the row of small halls, Lu Zhong followed Liu Jian to a hall, where they each took their seats, and soon a maid served spiritual tea.
Lu Zhong took a sip of Xiao Ming and looked surprised.
"Thousand-year-old Fire Dragon Tea is a very rare thing. It is also of great help to Yuanying monks like us. I didn't expect that Fellow Taoist Liujian would have such an opportunity!"
"Haha! We just bumped into each other by chance. I think if I were a fellow Taoist, if I had such a chance, I would have encountered something even rarer!" Liu Jian stroked his beard and smiled softly. Although he spoke modest words, his face was full of humility.
He couldn't hide his proud expression no matter what.
"Then... I accept the good advice from my Taoist friend!" Lu Zhong said with a smile.
After taking another sip of tea, his cultivation suddenly started to get ready. He remembered the purpose of his trip and started talking softly with Liu Jian.
However, after some small talk, it was Liu Jian who got to the point first.
"To be honest, fellow Taoist, I encountered a problem a while ago, but it was related to a fourth-level alien beast. With my own strength, I really am no match for that alien beast, so I would like to have some help from fellow Taoist.
." Liu Jian hesitated for a moment and said with a solemn expression.
"Exotic beast?" When Mr. Lu heard this word, his face showed surprise.
My interest suddenly arose.
"Fellow Taoist Liujian, why don't you tell Chen about the details?"
"Of course!" Seeing that Lu Zhong didn't refuse, Liu Jian breathed a sigh of relief. He used a water mirror technique to project a picture and explained: "As fellow Taoists can see, this line in the picture
The withered yellow figure is that strange beast. This beast is endowed with extraordinary talents. It can be said that it is invulnerable to water and fire, and it is difficult to be hurt by swords. If it were not so, I would not be helpless against it."
"It's like this." After hearing this, Lu Zhong was secretly surprised.
In the picture, a strange beast that looks like a deer and a pig is attacking with a magical weapon. Facing the intensive barrage that even the Nascent Soul Lord must be cautious about seeing, it seems to be taking a leisurely stroll in the courtyard.
Act like you don't care about it.
Such a performance can indeed be regarded as invulnerable to water and fire, and invulnerable to swords.
At this time, the scene changed, and the camera began to stretch into the distance. Lu Zhong suddenly let out a light sigh, and his eyes were fixed on something in the background.
Tsk, what a coincidence!
Isn't this Huang Ji Yu Jie?
Lu Zhong, who originally wanted to refuse, suddenly changed his mind.
He withdrew his gaze and did not express his attitude. Instead, he looked at Liu Jian and asked tentatively: "I am very curious. Your alliance has spent so much effort to kill this strange beast. Is there anything special about... the strange beast?"
Can’t do it?”
"Fellow Taoist is not an outsider, so I don't need to hide anything." After hearing this, Liu Jian first put down the tea cup in his hand, and then slowly said: "I don't know anything about the origin of this beast, but the only thing that can be determined is
The strange thing is that when this beast activates its innate magical power, the pattern of spiritual patterns revealed on its back is actually similar to the secret formation of creation!"
Liu Jian's words were so shocking that Lu Zhong was also shocked when he heard them.
"What fellow Taoists don't know is that the recent breakthroughs in spiritual energy conversion technology were all due to the research results on this beast. If... if we can obtain its spiritual patterns, then the progress of the Secret Formation of Creation will be
Maybe it can suddenly improve a lot!"
When Liu Jian said this, he suddenly became excited.
"It is indeed necessary to obtain it." Lu Zhong thought for a moment and agreed.
The breakthrough in spiritual energy conversion technology will also bring many benefits to him, and it may be able to solve the problem of improving his cultivation level that he is currently facing.
Then, Lu Zhong thought of another question.
"Since that alien beast is extremely talented, I expect that another Nascent Soul helper will be useless to it. Fellow Taoist has now called Chen over, but he has already found a solution?"
"Since the discovery of the strange beast, I began to collect information and checked the classics left by various sects in the past, and I really found a way to decipher its magical power. Fellow Daoist Chen, please look at this inverted Liangyi formation." Liu Jian said here.
, take out the black and white formation flags from the storage ring.
The formation flag is a Tai Chi graphic style, divided into black and white yin and yang fish flags. As the word "inverted" in the name means, it is completely reversed from the normal Tai Chi diagram.
Liu Jian handed the Yang Yu Banner to Lu Zhong, and attached the instructions for its use, and then said: "With the help of this formation, you and I can inspire the spiritual light that reverses the two rites. Although it cannot break the magical power of the strange beast, it can make it more powerful."
The effectiveness of his magical power is reduced by one or two, so he has a chance of success."
"Fellow Taoist, you are so powerful that you can find such a method." Lu Zhong said with a chuckle.
Then he looked at the formation flag in his hand, thought for a while and said: "In that case, it's settled. Fellow Taoist, when will we set off?"
"Now that the alien beast is under the knowledge of Yong Ming, its whereabouts are always under control. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, it is better for us to set off now. After all, the earlier we get the alien beast's spirit pattern, the earlier the relevant research can begin.
." Liu Jian suggested.
Lu Zhong exited the gray mist space at this time, feeling slightly relieved.
He had specifically tested it with real memories just now, and there were no traces of manipulation in the formation flag. It seemed that what Liu Jian said was not a trap.
The two of them immediately left Niyang Immortal City and went straight to where the real person Yongming was.
…
As soon as they left Niyang Immortal City, the two of them immediately headed west.
After about a hundred small worlds, we finally came to a small rock world. There were stalactite pillars everywhere, and the roof of the cave was covered with luminous fungi. They were continuing to emit weak light. Although the light was extremely dim, it was enough.
The monk looks at things.
You can see that there were traces of bonfires here.
It means that someone stayed here for a while not long ago.
"The arrow points over there, they should be in front. Alien beasts like the White Umbrella Cave, and they will keep moving around, so we agreed on a secret code before. Let's go over and meet Yongming first." Liu Jian pointed at the stalactite pillar, where a
The arrow-shaped symbol said.
Lu Zhong nodded, held the Cangwu Pearl in his hand, and followed it forward and backward.
The two followed the arrow's guidance, and sure enough, half an hour later, they discovered Yong Ming and others who were tracking the alien beasts in a huge underground mushroom world. And more than ten miles away from them, there was a mysterious creature.
A white strange beast like a hill.
Being so close allowed Lu Zhong to see clearly what the beast looked like.
Like a deer or a pig, its body appears to be covered with white hairs, but it is actually soft tentacles. Inside each tentacle, you can see the flow of demonic power. In Tianluo Mi Tong's vision, these
The flowing demonic power looks chaotic, but in fact it builds an almost invisible shield.
With the help of real memories, Lu Zhong gave it a try.
It was found that even the Jiamu Thunder Technique was unable to break through this shield.
This discovery made him feel surprised.
At this time, the alien beast also noticed the visitor.
However, it just glanced at it and continued to eat.
"It's really arrogant. Facing two Yuanying monks, you still dare to go your own way. You really don't take you and me seriously!" Liu Jian smiled bitterly. He could clearly see the two people among the strange beasts.
disdain.
"Indeed." Lu Zhong responded.
The alien beast relies on its innate magical powers, and it is difficult for foreign enemies to break through its protection, unless it is used to being arrogant.
However, now is also an opportunity.
It's a good time to experiment and see if inverting the Liangyi flag is effective against this beast.
The two looked at each other and held out the formation flags in their hands.
For a moment, black and white lights flashed in the cave, and together with the auras on their respective bodies, the originally dark underground space was instantly illuminated with black and white.
Lu Zhong cast a spell, and the Yangyu flag he controlled rose in the wind.
Liu Jian saw him on the side.
Not to be outdone, he also controlled the Yin Fish Flag to display his spiritual light.
The two fish flags met and immediately formed a Tai Chi pattern, and then a burst of light gathered, and a black and white light beam actually erupted.
That is to say, the spiritual light of the two rituals is reversed.
