As long as it is a level, there must be a way to pass it. Just because no one has found it yet, it does not mean that it will never be found.
This is the thought in the minds of all the adventurers gathered outside the city.
And I don’t know since when, the saying that whoever enters the palace first can get the treasure became very popular, causing all the adventurers to think like crazy about how to enter the city.
However, for seven consecutive days, this ancient and mysterious palace mercilessly shut out everyone.
When Shen Zhui returned to the city wall, he saw the adventurers in front of him who were having a heated discussion and were constantly trying.
Whether it is the students of Daxia Academy, the internal and external forces of Dayuan Palace, or those particularly conspicuous foreigners, they are all mixed together, and everything appears to be very harmonious.
The geniuses of the Great Zhou Dynasty showed strong cohesion when facing common difficulties, although Shen Zhui believed that this was only temporary.
There are only a small number of isolated individuals like Shen Zhui. Of course, they all have one thing in common - they are very powerful and look very difficult to deal with.
"Who has records of formation masters from the first year of Apocalypse to the fifty-third year of Apocalypse?"
"I, I have it! According to records, there were more than 15,000 formation masters who participated in the construction of the royal city in the first year of Tianqi!"
"Quickly, look for information on materials similar to this city wall. Is there anything mysterious about it?"
"Ah! I recognized it. The towers on the city wall are distributed in a 'back and forth' pattern."
"Array Master, where is the Array Master! Come and take a look at me, I have a new discovery..."
"Brother, what you picked up was a clod of soil, not something that fell from the city wall."
"..."
…
The direction has changed very quickly. Countless adventurers have given up on attacking by force and have turned to studying the city wall formation. From whose hand the formation was made in the Apocalypse Era, its efficacy, what material it is made of, and the base material of the main body of the city wall...
As a result, adventurers who are proficient in formations have become popular, and countless organizations treat people who understand formations as guests!
"Brother, has anyone thought of a way to enter the city now?" Shen Zhui approached an area with fewer people and asked a random person.
"Who are you? Why should I..." The strong man with a sinewy face and a beard was impatient to be disturbed, but he accidentally saw the two-headed dragon eagle beside Shen Zhui, and his expression suddenly changed.
"...Brother, please sit down." The flesh on the bearded face was surging, and the flesh folds were piled together. He said with a smile: "I am in Xiajiangliu, from the Jiang family in the north city of Dayuan Prefecture."
"As my brother has seen, the nine palace gates of this palace city are still closed. No adventurers from all sides have ever said that they have entered."
"Here is some information collected over the past few days. There are more than a hundred pieces of information in total. As for whether it is accurate or not, it is difficult to say."
Jiang Liu had a smile on his face, but he looked nervously at Shen Zhui. Of course, his eyes were more on the two-headed dragon eagle. It was not that there were no fights outside. The forest was big and there were all kinds of birds, and they couldn't agree on anything. There are no longer many people who go on a killing spree, and he is ready to escape at any time.
"Thank you." Shen Zhui didn't care about the other party's arrogant attitude, smiled and cupped his hand, took a jade slip from the other party and left.
It took Shen Zhui a long time to absorb the power of the holy words of medicine. By the time he came out of seclusion, seven days had passed outside.
The place is only so big, so it's easy to find acquaintances when everyone gathers in front of the palace. Unlike before at the first level, where communication was impossible and they were scattered.
Within seven days, many forces emerged. Among them, students who were admitted to Daxia Academy formed the Academy Alliance. There were quite a few people, but they were also divided into several small groups. The largest ones were Yushanzhai and Luoxingzhai. Zhiyuan Zhai has a lot of people. More than 4,000 people have gathered so far, and they are still gathering people.
Among the local forces in Dayuan Mansion, the leading one is Prince Liang’s Mansion! As a royal family of the Liang Kingdom, Prince Liang’s Mansion’s appeal is astonishing. In seven days, it attracted a team of ten thousand people, including local officials and family forces. Almost immediately, they gathered at the door of Prince Liang’s Mansion.
Shen Zhui also saw some familiar names on it, including Xia Hong's only son Xia Feng, but it was his uncle Xia Xia who carried the banner.
In addition, there are some external forces that work together to keep warm, such as the Shuiling Palace of the Dai Kingdom, the Tiance Mansion of the Jin Kingdom, the Zhongshan Royal Family, etc.
Almost everyone with a name on the list of young talents has gathered a large number of people.
"They are all human beings. We have already planned this for when we enter the city." After reading this information, Shen Zhui immediately shook his head.
In the second level of the Great Summer Palace City, the Zhenwen phantom beasts and the Zhenwen humans are at odds with each other. Three years later, tens of billions of Zhenwen phantom beasts will attack the city. There will definitely be a big test in the future!
Some people speculate that in the end, whoever can achieve a higher status in the Zhenwen human race forces will have greater benefits!
"Lan Chenguang and Jiang Tianming have also gathered more than a thousand people. Do I want to go there?" Shen Zhui thought in his mind.
If he were to go, in terms of position and military rank, I'm afraid he would be able to become the leader immediately.
However, this also means that he has to assume the responsibility of a leader, and it also means that he has to seize power.
"It's useless to think about it now. The first priority is to get to the city first. But it doesn't hurt to meet them first." Shen Zhui made a decision in his mind.
…………
Thousands of meters in the sky, a marching hall floats, surrounded by more than a dozen dragon-headed ships, guarding the marching hall.
"Lin Ze, do you see anything?" Lan Chenguang stood in front of a map. There were many light curtains floating in front of him, and some words and patterns were constantly circulating. They were from every dynasty and every generation.
Lin Ze said nothing and stared at the light curtains with all his concentration. In the area in front of him, there were people flying around the entire palace and recording them with Taoism.
When Lan Chenguang saw that Lin Ze didn't answer him, he didn't seem to hear him at all and didn't take it seriously. Geniuses who are proficient in formations are all in demand here. It's normal for capable people to have a bit of personality. Although Lin Ze doesn't have a magical power. However, Lan Chenguang admired Lin Ze's concentration.
At this moment, a man wearing green armor walked into the marching hall and whispered: "Sir, there is a person who wants to see you."
"Who?" Lan Chenguang asked.
"He refused to say anything. He only mentioned that he was an old friend from Ciyun World."
"Ciyun World..." Lan Chenguang nodded, "Let him come in."
"yes."
A moment later, Shen Zhui stepped into the marching hall and saw Lan Chenguang.
"Who are you? I seem to have never seen you before, so why do I call you an old friend?" Lan Chenguang was completely unfamiliar with this aura, and his face was also a strange one.
Shen Zhui glanced around and saw no one else. He immediately returned to his original appearance and aura, smiled and said, "It's me."
"Shen, Shen Zhui?" Lan Chenguang looked a little surprised, then he quickly stepped forward and said with his hands in his hands: "The brave captain of the Qingzhou Army has met General Shenwei."
"Brother Lan, there's no need to be polite." Shen Zhui waved his hand and lifted Lan Chenguang up. "I invited you here in disguise, just because I don't want anyone to know my identity."
"The etiquette cannot be discarded." Lan Chenguang still made a full gesture.
Shen Zhui didn't press any further. He took a look at Lan Chenguang. As the eldest grandson of the Divine Sword Master, Lan Chenguang had a kind of heroic spirit that ordinary children from aristocratic families did not have.
After the formal greeting, the rest of the conversation became more casual.
The two are similar in age and have similar cultivation levels. In terms of achievements and status, Shen Zhui achieved the title of Captain and the Divine Power General at such a young age. It can be said that he has a bright future and is envied by many people.
In terms of family background, Lan Chenguang is the grandson of the Divine Sword Marquis. The Lan family has a huge power in Qingzhou. To be honest, Lan Chenguang has excellent talent and will definitely be the first choice to inherit the foundation in the future.
"It turns out that the Wu'an Army was led by Master Cheng Jie." From Lan Chenguang's conversation, Shen Zhui also learned that the Wu'an Army was brought here by his Master Cheng Jie, who led the geniuses in the army. And Qingzhou , Jizhou is also accompanied by strong men on both sides.
Since the younger generation of the Jizhou Army suffered a great loss in Ciyun World, and Jiang Tianming's personality was not as suitable as Lan Chenguang's to lead the army, the three armies agreed that if there was a chance to gather together after entering the secret realm, Lan Chenguang would temporarily take over the authority. .
There are more than a hundred people in the magical realm sent by the three major frontier armies, and most of them are veteran magical realm experts. Lan Chenguang can make the strong men of the three major border armies obey orders. It has to be said that his own strength and methods are also Not to be underestimated.
"Brother Lan, I came to see you to ask about the Miyagi Formation." Shen Zhui said straight to the point. "Besides, I don't want to alarm others, and I also ask Brother Lan to keep it a secret for me. "
"Brother Shen, don't you plan to stay here?" Lan Chenguang glanced at Shen Zhui in surprise.
"It won't do Brother Lan any good if I stay here." Shen Zhui said with a smile.
Lan Chenguang nodded. Of course he knew what Shen Zhui was referring to. If Prince Liang knew that Shen Zhui was here, he would definitely find a way to get rid of Shen Zhui.
Knowing that Shen Zhui had no intention of staying, Lan Chenguang felt a little regretful and at the same time felt relieved.
It's a pity that a genius like Shen Zhui is a big help. Fortunately, if Shen Zhui doesn't stay, he doesn't have to consider the issue of being decentralized.
"That's easy to say. Among the frontier troops who are studying the formations for entering the city, there is one person who is familiar with Brother Shen." Lan Chenguang smiled. "Although I also know a little about the formations, it is best for him to introduce them to you. appropriate."
"Brother Lan, can you talk about Lin Ze?" Shen Zhui thought in his mind.
"That's right." Lan Chenguang smiled. "He will be here in a moment. Brother Shen, do you want..."
"No need, I can trust him." Shen Zhui said that he didn't need to disguise himself.
A moment later, Lin Ze appeared in the room. His face was a little solemn, but when he saw Shen Zhui, he immediately smiled.
"Shen Zhui? It's you, why are you here."
"Brother Lin." Shen Zhui greeted him with a smile. He conveyed the news that he had obtained the Holy Word Order to Lin Ze, asked him to keep it a secret, and explained his purpose.
"It's very troublesome." Lin Ze shook his head after hearing Shen Zhui's question.
"The formations on this city wall are too complex and profound. They are ancient and their origins are unknown. What everyone knows is limited."
"You should know that there is no breakthrough in this city wall, whether it is up or down, left or right, from any direction. Its defensive power cannot be broken by force at the level of supernatural power. To attack by force, you must at least have the strength of a Venerable."
"There's absolutely no way?" Shen Zhui frowned. If that's the case, what's the purpose of the test?
"We will definitely be able to get in." Lin Ze said with a bitter smile. "But it will have to be at least two years later."
"What does this mean?" Lan Chenguang also asked.
"We have been thinking about it for many days and found that the defensive power of the formation barrier is not static, but is declining day by day."
Lin Zedao: "This periodic change of the Shocking God Array decays very slowly. Now his weakening is not obvious at all. We speculate that if he continues to weaken at this rate, when he is weakened to the point where he can enter the magical realm, it will take at least two days. Years of time.”
"Two years, so if nothing is done, all adventurers will be able to enter this palace city in two years."
"But in three years, the real monsters will attack the city, leaving little time for the adventurers."
"Unless there are more changes in this palace city, it will be unsolvable now." Lin Ze made the final conclusion.
"I understand." Shen Zhui nodded.
…………
After quietly coming out of Lan Chenguang's place, Shen Zhui came to the city wall alone.
He specially found an area with few people, and then released the two-headed dragon eagle to alert the surroundings, and set up a layer of hiding barrier. Only Shen Chai was left within a thousand meters.
"Shocking God Formation..." Shen Zhui looked at the city wall in front of him. It was not so much a city wall as it was a smooth steel plate with no gaps.
Shen Zhui put his palm against it, and when he was one foot away from the city wall, Shen Zhui felt a strong rebound force.
It was as if the entire city wall had come alive, as if there was a kind of rule suppressing it, and it was about to fall on him. Unparalleled pressure appeared on Shen Zhui's body.
Shen Zhui gritted his teeth and continued to slowly push his palm forward. His palm was once again half a foot closer.
"Kaka~" Qi and blood surged, and the golden bones rubbed together. Shen Zhui's face turned red and steam came out.
"Bang~" Finally, when his palm was about to get close to the city wall, Shen Zhui's body was blasted out by the huge rebound force and fell back a thousand meters.
"The Venerable Level Formation is indeed worthy of its reputation. The power of this rule is integrated into the formation barrier and is completely irresistible." Shen Zhui looked ahead with palpitations.
Unwilling to give up, Shen Zhui replaced the two-headed dragon eagle and fighting king kong, but the result was exactly the same.
The greater the force of advancement, the greater the force of rebound.
After hesitating for a moment, Shen Zhui finally gave up the plan of using the God-Destroying Cannon.
The God-Destroying Cannon is said to be unstoppable by anyone below the Supreme level, but it is still impossible to break through this Supreme level.
Five Lucky Coins can only be fired twice, so Shen Zhui should use them sparingly.
"It seems that we can only try the merit barrier. I don't know how much it will cost to fight against this power of rules." Shen Zhui took a look at the good merits on his body.
The number of good deeds is still 19.8 million.
"The merit barrier is activated!"
"Buzz~" A faint yellow light shrouded Shen Zhui, but from the outside, it was no different from normal.
Five hundred thousand points of good deeds were consumed every second, and Shen Zhui felt as if a veil had been lifted around him.
Without wasting much time, Shen Zhui immediately tried to reach his palm towards the city wall.
The moment your palm touches the barrier——
The merit barrier's consumption of good deeds immediately increased to one million per second!
This time, Shen Zhui clearly felt that the resistance he encountered was greatly reduced, but it was still a bit difficult.
What the merit barrier offsets is the power of rules contained in the formation barrier, and the formation barrier itself has a certain defensive nature. The two complement each other, but now they are separated by Shen Zhui.
"Pa~" Two seconds later, Shen Zhui's palm was firmly printed on the city wall.
His palm went in!
There is one more update, so stay tuned for a while, there will be more updates this month.
