Lotus Peak.
This peak is located at the westernmost end of Tianshou Mountain. It is the peak with the largest mountain range in Tianshou Mountain.
It winds for more than 170 miles, with dozens of mountains of varying heights.
These peaks gather together and spiral upward, making the entire mountain look like a lotus, hence the name 'Lotus Peak'.
At dawn in early spring, the sky was slightly pale, and the entire Lotus Peak was shrouded in a thin layer of mist, like a veil gently covering the sleeping mountains.
Crystal dewdrops hang on the branches of the pine trees, twinkling in the dim light, like the remaining stars in the night, unwilling to leave easily.
The eastern sky was gradually dyed with a light orange-red, and the sun began to reveal its shy face.
The light shines through the gaps in the pine forest like countless golden arrows, piercing through the fog and sprinkling on the brown land. The golden and brown colors interweave into a warm picture.
The bamboo forest rustles in the breeze, as if whispering the secret of spring.
The dew on the bamboo leaves sparkled like gems under the sunlight, swaying gently in the wind, scattering pearls all over the ground.
The mountain stream gurgles, the clear water reflects the color of the sky, and the little fish swim leisurely in the water.
Occasionally, the sound of birds singing penetrates the fog, clear and melodious, telling all living things that a new day has arrived.
As the sunlight gradually grew stronger, the fog began to dissipate slowly, revealing the full view of Lotus Peak.
On the rocks, dew reflects dazzling light, and the entire mountain range looks vibrant, magnificent and mysterious.
Inside the Lotus Peak, there is a third-order Xuanyuan Juling formation with a total of thirty-seven sub-formations, covering the entire mountain.
However, due to the terrain and distance, the Xuanyuan Spirit Gathering Array is somewhat weak here.
Xuanyuan Gathering Spirits Array, a third-level formation.
It is a third-order formation that Tian Xingzi modified based on the formation found in the tomb of Dayu Taizu and the inheritance of Tianji Sect.
The effect of the Xuanyuan Gathering Spirit Array is extraordinary.
First, it has a very strong ability to gather spiritual energy. After the formation is activated, it can attract spiritual energy from all directions like a huge whirlpool.
Whether it is the thin spiritual energy floating between heaven and earth, or the spiritual energy hidden in the mountains and rivers, it can all be drawn here one by one.
The cultivators in the formation feel as if they are in a sea of spiritual energy, and their cultivation speed is greatly improved.
Secondly, this formation has a certain protective effect, which is also its most important function.
It can absorb the surrounding spiritual energy and combine with the earth veins to construct a giant formation that covers the entire Tianshou Mountain, which can resist the attacks of Jindan stage cultivators.
Thirdly, the Xuanyuan Spirit Gathering Array can also stabilize the fluctuations of the surrounding spiritual energy and prevent the spiritual energy riots from causing harm to the cultivators.
The materials needed to construct the Xuanyuan Gathering Spirit Array are also extremely precious. The first is the spirit crystal, which is a crystal that contains rich spiritual energy. As the core energy source of the formation, the higher the quality, the better the effect of the formation.
Secondly, black iron is needed. This special metal is extremely hard and is used to carve patterns on the formation to ensure its stability.
There is also spiritual jade, which can enhance the spirit gathering effect of the formation and make the spiritual energy purer.
In addition, some rare spiritual herbs are also needed, such as spirit gathering grass, qi condensing flower, etc. Placing them in specific positions of the formation can further enhance the effectiveness of the formation.
Fortunately, there are some materials for constructing the formation in stock in the Zheng family’s treasury.
The construction of the Xuanyuan Gathering Spirit Array has consumed all of these materials.
The key points of the formation are even more critical.
First, the layout of the formation must be accurate. There are strict requirements for the placement of each spiritual crystal and each section of black iron. If there is a slight deviation, the formation may not be able to start normally. Second, a specific formula is required to activate the formation. Only by mastering the correct formula and injecting enough spiritual power can the Xuanyuan Gathering Spirit Formation be activated.
Third, the formation needs regular maintenance during operation. Check whether the energy of the spirit crystal is sufficient, whether the black iron pattern is damaged, whether the spirit grass is withered, etc., to ensure that the formation is always in the best condition.
This is why Zheng Yi could easily use the mechanism and the Xuanyuan Gathering Spirit Array to build a net of heaven and earth, lure this group of wandering cultivators into Tianshou Mountain, and then capture them all in one fell swoop!
It can be said that the key reason why so many independent cultivators and the cultivator who called himself "Earth Demon Clan" were suppressed this time was the Xuanyuan Gathering Spirit Array!
At this time, on Lotus Peak.
At the top of the coniferous forest, which was tens of meters high, a disheveled figure was floating.
He was wearing a green Taoist robe, and a strong wind was blowing around him, supporting his body.
It’s the old devil Feng!
However, at this moment, Old Demon Feng's eyes were full of impatience. He held a black iron-colored Si Nan in his right hand, and was constantly calculating something with his left hand.
"Strange, my soul-seeking disk shows that one of the sub-disks of this formation is nearby, why can't I find it?"
"As long as we can find the sub-disk here and destroy it, we can break this third-level formation!"
"What a pity... this time we took action, but our entire army was annihilated. The Emperor of Dayu is really too terrifying!"
He murmured to himself, "If I can escape with my life this time, I must leave Dayu and go to Xingchen Island!"
"No! You can't go to Star Island!"
"Hong Shan's ghostly appearance shows that he is parasitized by a monster. Maybe the entire Xingchen Island has become the world of the Earth Demon Clan. It seems that we have to find a new territory!"
"But fortunately, the Dayu Sea is vast, and there are many islands in the Endless Sea. We can just find an island to settle down first."
He calculated quickly and muttered something rapidly, while his mind was constantly scanning the surrounding situation.
"We can't go to the Fishery Country! That's the territory of the Mayfly Tower. How about we go to the Five Snakes Island? Black Mist Island? Or Fish Dragon Island?"
"The Far North is also a good place to go. It is rumored that monks from the North Pole Palace have come out to travel. It is rumored that thousands of years ago, many monks chose to retreat and sleep in the Far North..."
Old Demon Feng made quick calculations with his left hand, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he abruptly put away the Si Nan in his right hand.
"found it!"
He cried out secretly, and his figure immediately turned into a gust of wind and swept away, and soon came to a pine tree.
This pine tree is about 20 to 30 feet tall, with lush branches and leaves, and looks no different from other pine trees.
But Old Demon Feng could tell at a glance that this pine tree was the location of the Lotus Peak's formation plate.
As long as this pine tree is destroyed, then...
Thinking of this, he did not hesitate at all. He made a gesture with one hand, and a giant wind blade about three meters long immediately condensed around him.
"go with!"
He shouted secretly, stretched out his hand and waved it, and the giant wind blade whizzed towards the pine tree.
"My fellow Taoist, this is my Taoist temple. What are you going to do?"
Emperor Zhengyong!
Old Demon Feng exclaimed in his heart, why didn’t he feel that there was a cultivator approaching him so secretly?
This thought flashed through his mind for a moment, and then he subconsciously shook his left hand without even turning his head, and shouted that a giant wind blade whistled towards the direction where the sound came from! (End of this chapter)
