The hot flames in it made Xu Junming feel hot all over even just looking at it.
"This is an underground eye of fire!!"
Xu Junming understood instantly.
The entire "Wuzhang Peak" cave sky is pressed against this eye of fire. And the huge stone in the wooden house is the overwhelming thing of Wuzhang Peak and the center of the eye of fire.
The large cave-level formation of Wuzhang Peak is only incidental in protecting this ancient monk's cave. Its real function is to use the wonderful principle of five elements to create restraint, fire to create earth, to absorb the fire energy in the flames, and to worship the huge rocks in the wooden house.
Increase the power of the formation and suppress the eye of fire so that it will not erupt.
After understanding the truth about this ancient monk's cave, Xu Junming's curiosity disappeared.
He finally understood that whoever gets this ancient cave must guard the underground fire eye here.
Once the protection is not good enough, the Fire Eye will erupt, the Yangtze River will be cut off, and the two sides of the river will become Zeguo. More importantly, the three towns of Jianghan and Han are just around the corner, and millions of people will die.
Even gods can't bear such a huge karma, let alone ordinary people.
If this is really the case, any monk who is attached to this cause and effect will never be able to achieve enlightenment in the future.
Of course, if you guard it for a hundred years and keep the Fire Eye safe, it will be a great merit that is astonishing.
When the spiritual energy is sufficient, it will be enough to become an immortal.
It is estimated that the person who originally guarded the Fire Eye and built this cave became an immortal through this meritorious deed.
Of course, the premise is that there is sufficient spiritual energy.
Now that heaven and earth are at the end of the Dharma, merit will make it easier for you to realize the Tao.
After death, you can become a ghost or god in the underworld and avoid the pain of reincarnation.
Or reincarnate into a good family in the next life, become the second generation of rich people, the second generation of officials, and have many descendants.
It is impossible to become an immortal.
After understanding the stakes, Xu Junming looked sympathetically at the middle-aged sword cultivator in front of him who was contemplating the formation with his eyes closed.
This guy cut through the five-foot peak cave sky with one sword, breaking the formation, which is equivalent to breaking the "fire creates earth" pattern here.
If the magic circle cannot be completed and the boulder in the middle does not suppress the eye of fire, causing an eruption, the cause and effect will be huge.
However, Xu Junming had no intention of reminding him. As long as he could understand the formation and enter it, he would understand the whole story.
Moreover, the huge stone inside has absorbed the fire energy for more than a thousand years. As long as no one deliberately destroys it, there is no problem in suppressing the fire eye.
"No wonder no big sect of golden elixirs came here. They must have known the truth and falsehood for a long time."
After thinking about it carefully, Xu Junming figured out the truth and falsehood.
This so-called ancient monk's cave is basically a big pit or a tiankeng, and the kind that traps people without paying for their lives.
Xu Junming doesn't want to get stuck here.
But he didn't leave immediately.
This large hole formation of fire and earth is unique. He, who is majoring in formations, plans to study it carefully.
Time passed little by little, and three days later, someone finally understood the second level of formation and came to the wooden house.
Xu Junming turned around and saw an old man wearing a black robe, carrying a three-foot yellow gourd on his back, with a stern look on his face.
The visitor glanced at the old woman, the middle-aged sword cultivator and the monk in front of him, and when he saw Xu Junming, his expression changed slightly.
With a wave of his sleeves, a surge of magic power spurted out.
"The treasures here belong to all the Golden Pill cultivators. You, Xiantian, get out of here."
A red rainbow light flashed!
With a 'bang', the old man's magic power was shattered.
Xu Junming stood up, and behind him, a three-foot-high red rainbow light stood like a giant pillar.
"If you can't speak, Pindao will teach you for free."
With his current strength, a guy with a golden elixir can be beaten to death without the help of Lu Pan and Ren Wuji.
The old man was furious.
"Junior, you are looking for death!"
As soon as the mana was activated, the big yellow-skinned gourd behind him flew up, and a mighty earth-like spiritual light flickered from it.
Just as he was about to take action, a sharp sword energy flew towards him, leaving a deep sword mark between the two of them.
The old man paused.
"If you want to fight, go out and fight, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
After the middle-aged swordsman finished speaking in a cold voice, he closed his eyes again.
The old man's eyes were cold, but he knew that his cultivation was not as good as the opponent's, and his ability to fight was far inferior, so he had no guts to challenge the opponent's majesty. As for going out, after finally getting in, he didn't want to go out.
He glared at Xu Junming fiercely.
"You brat, just wait. I'll settle the accounts with you after I get out."
Xu Junming smiled faintly.
"I am Xu Junming, a true disciple of Maoshan Nanzong. You are welcome to come to me to settle accounts."
The old man's expression changed, and his expression instantly darkened.
Even if you give him some courage, he wouldn't dare to go to Luofu Mountain of the Southern Sect of Maoshan to beat the true disciple of the inner sect of Maoshan.
The foundation of the Millennium Sect is no joke.
"Boy, are you really a disciple of Maoshan Nanzong?"
The old woman holding a dragon-headed crutch suddenly asked.
"yes!"
"Do you know Qian Dinglin?"
"Master Qian's uncle once taught the younger generation the art of weapon refining."
The old woman nodded and said nothing.
Glancing at her, Xu Junming thought to himself, "Looking at his attitude, this person should be an old acquaintance of Master Qian's uncle. Could it be an old lover?"
He shook his head, realizing that he shouldn't speculate on his elders like this, so he sat down cross-legged and continued to study the formation.
As time passed, more and more people came to the wooden house through the second layer of formation.
One month later, there were already nine people on the side.
In addition to Xu Junming, later Luo Yu, and an unknown young woman who was in the innate realm. The remaining six people were all golden elixirs.
This was the first time that Xu Junming saw so many Jindan monks.
And the vast majority of them are casual cultivators and the pillars of small and medium-sized sects.
"jingle…!"
The crisp sound of the copper bell suddenly woke up nine people from their enlightenment at the same time.
Xu Junming frowned and turned to look in the direction where the ringing sound came from.
A beautiful young woman wearing a black skirt and a phoenix hairpin came into view.
This woman, like him, is also at the peak of her innate nature. To be able to come here, it is obvious that she has extraordinary formation cultivation or has a unique secret treasure.
After attracting everyone's attention, the woman smiled slightly, bowed and said with humility.
"Seniors, the core formation of the cave where the ancient monks lived is the peak of the cave. It is difficult for us to understand it in our eagerness. Therefore, the little girl has a method that can quickly break the formation here."
Everyone's expressions changed slightly.
"What can you, a congenital monk, do?"
The old man, who was carrying a yellow-skin gourd and almost had a fight with Xu Junming at first, asked coldly.
"Senior, little girl, there are a lot of ordinary explosives here. If they are ignited, even if the protection of this wooden house cannot be broken, the spiritual energy of this formation will be greatly consumed. If we take action together, we will definitely be able to
Break this formation."
"What is explosives? Is it so powerful?"
An old man wearing a Taoist robe frowned.
Obviously this Jindan has not been in the secular world for a long time and does not understand the changes in the secular world.
The woman in black smiled slightly, took out a grenade from her bag and threw it out.
There was a "boom" and there was a burst of fireworks within two feet.
Except for Xu Junming, everyone present changed their expressions.
They originally thought that explosives were just like gunpowder. They were powerful, but not much more powerful. But now it seems that this is not the case at all.
The power of this small melon-like thing's explosion is comparable to that of a peak innate attack?!
If the quantity is sufficient, it will be even more impressive.
"How many of these do you have?"
The old man carrying a yellow gourd asked quickly.
The woman smiled lightly.
"Junior has a hundred stones!"
Xu Junming frowned instantly.
One stone is one hundred and twenty kilograms, one hundred stones is twelve thousand kilograms, six thousand kilograms! The atomic bomb codenamed "Fat Man" dropped on Nagasaki by Uncle Sam in the previous life was only 22,000 tons.
Six thousand kilograms, nearly one-third of a ‘fat man’.
Moreover, judging from the grenade just now, the explosive inside has obviously been refined through Taoist rituals and is more powerful.
Once the hundreds of stones of explosives go down, not only will the formation be unable to withstand it, but the entire eye of fire will also be blown open. By then, the surrounding area of a hundred miles will be reduced to ashes, and there will be countless casualties.
Thinking of this possibility, Xu Junming's scalp went numb.
No matter how selfish he is, he will never allow such a tragic thing to happen in front of him!
"We must not let this woman succeed!!"
"What if the contents inside are damaged by the explosion?" Luo Yu frowned.
Others nodded in agreement.
This is also what they worry about.
Looking at the power of the thing that exploded just now, if a hundred stones of explosives were used, it would definitely be stronger than what a Yuanying-level monk would do. As for whether it could be compared to Yuanshen, they had never seen it and didn't know.
However, a large cave-level formation with no one in charge may not be able to withstand such a violent blow.
"Everyone, this is a complete Big Cave-level formation. Although no one is in charge, it is powerful enough to block Nascent Soul-level monks. If we don't prepare more explosives, I'm afraid we won't be able to blow it open."
"As for you guys worrying about blowing up the things inside, I think you are overly worried. Dongxuan-level materials or spiritual weapons are not that fragile."
For a while, most people fell into deep thought.
Should you meditate here for three to five years, and then watch others go in first to get the treasure? Or explode the formation and let everyone rush forward, each relying on chance and luck?
Those later Jindan monks naturally chose the latter.
They arrived late in the first place and were not very proficient in the formation. Their ability to get through the second level of formation relied entirely on their golden elixir-level Taoist magical powers, not their formation cultivation.
"no!"
Just as more and more people's eyes lit up, a resolute voice of opposition rang out.
Facing everyone's gaze, Xu Junming had a tough attitude.
"We must not explode the formation!"
"Junior, this is not your Maoshan Southern Sect. Besides, there are many Jindan elders here, and it's not your junior's turn to speak."
The old Jindan man who was already in conflict with him and was carrying a yellow-skinned gourd immediately sneered.
But Xu Junming didn't even look at him.
"Aren't you curious, it's been more than a month since this ancient cave was born, why don't all the golden elixirs from a great sect come here?"
After he reminded me, things that had been selectively forgotten suddenly came to mind.
Normally, whenever something big happens in the world of spiritual practice, golden elixirs, talismans, Xuanmen, and Buddhist sects will always be there.
But now that the ancient monk's cave has appeared, no one has come here. This is really strange.
Especially Wudang, the great sect of the Jindan Sect, which is only a few hundred miles away from here. The Jindan monks can travel by force and arrive in a few hours. There is no reason to let him go.
