The cities in Shura Continent are divided into seven levels: county town, prefecture town, state town, main city, royal city, imperial city, and imperial capital. Each city requires corresponding levels of garrison strength and defensive formations.
The lowest level county town needs at least three Jindan monks to guard the city and a high-grade Huang-level city protection formation, while the county town needs at least one Yuanying real person to guard it and have a low-level Xuan-level city protection formation, and the state city needs at least one
It is guarded by the real person Huashen, and has a high-grade Xuan-level city defense formation.
By analogy, the highest-level imperial capital must be guarded by at least one Dao Lord in the Tribulation Period, and must have a high-level city defense formation.
Black Rock City is just a minimum-standard county town, and its security is only average. It may be breached by the invasion of monsters and ghosts at any time!
Therefore, every night, the city defense formation will be activated, and monks and Taoist soldiers will patrol the city gate. Once monsters and ghosts invade, the city lord will summon the monks in the city to fight, and no one is allowed to refuse.
According to ancestor Xuan Yan's memory, he only knew that Shura Continent was a paradise for demonic cultivators. Many evil cultivators in Qinghua Continent, or those who had offended others and could not survive, would choose to enter Shura Continent.
But he never expected that the environment in Shura Continent was so cruel, not much better than the Xuanyuan Realm that was invaded by the underworld.
Immediately, Xiao Yi gave the middle-grade spiritual stone to the young man in white and asked him to lead the way to a nearby inn.
A moment later, in the inn, Xiao Yi's spiritual sense penetrated into the black dragon's body in the Qiankun Ring, looking for Ao Xuan's treasure.
Ao Xuan is a dragon king who has completed the Mahayana period, so it is impossible not to carry treasures with him.
After a while, he found a blue orb and a golden flying sword in the aperture space of the black dragon's abdomen.
The power of Xiao Yi's Yuan Shen penetrated in, made an opening in the abdomen of the frozen dragon corpse, and took out the two treasures.
The golden flying sword is Ao Xuan's natal flying sword, and its grade is as high as the eighth level.
The blue orb is an eighth-level high-grade space magic weapon. It is refined from the sea pearl produced by ten thousand-year-old clam essences. It contains an ocean world and an ice island in the ocean.
On the ice island, there are mountains of white spiritual stones, the lowest ones are high-grade spiritual stones, and there are also some top-grade spiritual stones.
Xiao Yi calculated the volume and roughly estimated that the top-grade spiritual stones exceeded 10 billion and the top-grade spiritual stones exceeded 100,000. This harvest is close to occupying the Xuanzhen Sect.
Immediately, he put away the two magic weapons, took out the dragon ball, and began to use his skills to absorb the dragon essence in it, and used Tai Chi Xuan Gong to transform it into his own spiritual power.
His Tai Chi Xuan Gong was based on his own understanding of Taoism and the Immortal Level Techniques Xuan Zhen Secret Code. It integrated the strengths of both worlds and also practiced the body refining of gods and demons as well as the immortal soul.
Although the Dragon Balls can be used to refine ninth-level magic weapons, one's own cultivation is the foundation. Refining a Tai Chi Flying Sword is enough.
…
At night, the sky was pitch black, and the entire Black Rock City was shrouded in a red formation barrier.
At this time, in the inn, Xiao Yi slowly stopped his power and opened his eyes. The dragon essence and soul energy in the dragon ball in his hand had been reduced by 10%.
At this time, his cultivation mana also increased by about half.
The dragon beads contain the dragon essence and soul essence of Ao Xuan, a perfect dragon king in the Mahayana period. All refined, it can increase his soul mana by about 50%.
At this time, a group of black-armored soldiers knocked on the door, entered the inn, and said loudly: "Boss, quickly notify all registered monks and ask them to go downstairs immediately to join the army in the battle!"
"Master, wait a moment! I'm going to inform you right now!"
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he immediately led several innkeepers upstairs.
After a while, Xiao Yi went downstairs with the two monks.
At this time, a middle-aged man in green stuffed a Qiankun bag to the leading black-armored soldier and said: "General, please be accommodating!"
The leader of the black-armored soldiers took the Qiankun bag, opened it, and said, "Okay, you can go back and rest!"
"Thank you, General!"
The middle-aged man in green clothes quickly returned upstairs with a happy expression.
It is said that there are policies from above and countermeasures from below. Although the city lord has the right to recruit monks in the city to fight, some people will bribe the soldiers to avoid recruitment.
The other old man in black robes and Xiao Yi did not offer any benefits, so they followed the black-armored soldiers directly to the North City Gate.
After a while, Xiao Yi and the old man in black robes followed the army to the north gate and saw many casual cultivators who came to help defend the city.
At this time, under the nine-foot-high city gate, a large group of black monsters appeared, using long-range energy attacks to attack the barrier of the city defense formation.
The number of those monsters exceeds three thousand, and their appearance is extremely curious and beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Some are half-human and half-animal, and some are purely inhuman form, or have tentacles, or are covered with eyes, and have long hair.
Horned ones, scaly ones, many-headed ones, long tails and bone spurs, and so on.
In terms of strength, these monsters have different levels. The lowest is only at the first-order Qi training stage, and the highest is at the fourth-order Nascent Soul stage. The red barrier derived from the city protection formation is like ripples under the attack of the fourth-order monsters.
, although it can still be maintained, it cannot last too long.
"It's obviously a world of cultivation, but why does it look a bit like Cthulhu? Could it be a legacy of the invasion from another world?"
Xiao Yi secretly guessed in his heart.
At this time, a foundation-building monk led a group of black-armored Taoist soldiers to supervise the battle and passed by, saying: "The formation barrier will be closed in a while. You only need to stand on the city wall to cast spells. Those who kill the monsters will be killed by themselves."
If you have meritorious deeds, you can exchange them for spiritual stones, elixirs, exercises, secret techniques, etc. If there are any escapees, they will be executed immediately!"
Of course, you also need to have proof to kill monsters. Usually, you use a photo bead to record the evidence yourself, or you take the monster's magic core as proof.
In addition, there are also soldiers in the city who specialize in recording military exploits.
If you want monks to fight monsters, you must ensure that their achievements are not buried, and they can also exchange them for many high-level skills, secret techniques, magic weapons, etc. that are usually unobtainable.
Immediately, the foundation-building monk led the supervising team to supervise the battle along the city wall.
Xiao Yi observed that there were only four Jindan monks on the north city wall, and there were only dozens of foundation-building monks. Most of them were black-armored Taoist soldiers in the Qi training period, and the total number did not exceed 5,000.
Once the formation barrier is closed, I'm afraid no one can stop that fourth-level monster.
At this moment, a black sword light flew out from the city lord's palace in the center, quickly came to the sky above the north city gate, and then landed at the city gate, transforming into a middle-aged man in black robes, saying in a deep voice: "Pass my command,
Close the formation and fight against the monsters!"
Xiao Yi stared at this person. With his late Nascent Soul cultivation, he should be the Lord of this city, Heiyan Zhenren. His cultivation level is pretty good.
Immediately, the red formation barrier suddenly disappeared, and many huge monsters began to attack the city gate. There were also flying monsters that directly took off and attacked the monks and Taoist soldiers behind the female wall on the city gate.
The monks also began to use magic weapons and magic weapons to fight against the monsters.
Those black-armored Taoist soldiers formed a battle formation, concentrating mana on the general's body, increasing his cultivation, and exerting maximum lethality.
When force is dispersed, it is weak, when force is gathered, it is strong. Taoist battle formations are more effective in such large-scale wars.
Xiao Yi also hid his strength and used some ordinary Yang Lei spells to kill monsters.
