Less than an hour after Lu Ping and Deng Ming disappeared, one of the six formations, including the sixth formation that Lu Ping and the others had opened, suddenly flashed with a blood-red light. Afterwards, the red light gradually isolated the silhouette of a person in the center.
The silhouette slowly walked out of the red light. It was an old man with white hair and a ruddy complexion. After the old man walked out, the dazzling red light gradually receded. It was still a blue formation wall, but not even a trace of red light could be seen.
The old man looked around the formation space, and his expression became more and more shocked. It seemed that there was something extremely difficult for him to understand.
"Brother Ji, what happened just now? How come three Spirit Arrays were destroyed?"
A voice came from behind another formation. As soon as the voice finished speaking, a door appeared on the formation wall, and a black-robed old man walked out from it.
After the black-robed old man walked out, the door on the formation wall quickly closed. At the same time, the red light on the formation wall began to dissipate.
"You saw it too. The Old Man just arrived, and he was also confused. However, this place is very strange. The two of them should have arrived here, but then disappeared."
The black-robed Laozu looked at the formation space, and a confused expression appeared on his face. "That's strange. Could it be that the two of them opened another formation and escaped?"
The old man surnamed Ji wasn't too sure. "It's hard to say, but it's not very likely. If the two of them really have that kind of ability, then their mastery of formations is even greater than ours. Do you think it's possible?"
The black-robed Laozu said, "That's true. In the cultivation world, there aren't many who can surpass us in formations. Even if there are, their strength is limited. It wouldn't be easy for them to escape from the Nether Void Formation without us knowing."
Another old man walked out from behind the formation and said, "I remember that in this generation, there was a formation master from a medium-sized sect. He was quite skilled in formations, and the Old Man met him once. That person's sect seemed to have been destroyed, and in order to avoid being hunted down, he fled to the South Sea and hid here. After that, he stayed here for dozens of years to study formations. In the past ten years, we haven't heard much about him. I wonder if this has anything to do with him?"
The seventh formation suddenly rumbled. The three of them stopped talking and looked at the formation wall. A skinny old man squeezed out from the seventh formation and said, "Heh, there are dozens of formations in the seventh layer of the Nether Void Formation, and every one of them has a unique way of entering and exiting. It's only because of the Old Man's stature. If it was a fatty, they wouldn't be able to enter even if they broke the formation."
The Old Man looked at the three of them and said, "There aren't any signs of people coming out of the formation recently. The Old Man thought that they would come to the inner layer of the Nether Void Formation, so he spent a bit of effort to get here. He didn't think that he would come up empty."
The three of them nodded. The skinny old man said, "How is it? Is there any news of the people fighting?"
The third old man shook his head and said, "This is the strange part. Neither side left any clues behind. After chasing them all the way here, the one who won seemed to have disappeared."
The skinny old man seemed to have a higher status than the other three. Hearing this, he said, "There's a master. Guess who did the Old Man discover that had entered the Nether Void Formation?"
Without waiting for the other three to ask, the skinny old man said, "The lackey of the Yuwen family, Wen Yuan of the Wen family!"
"It's him!"
"If it's him, it's possible. That person can be considered to have a long history of learning, and his attainments in formations are extremely profound. Even we have to admit that his level is not inferior to ours. After all these years, it's not impossible for him to surpass us."
"I don't think so. Wen Yuan is considered to be the best in the formation among the second generation adepts. If he really was the one who set up the formation here to kill someone, with such a geographical advantage, he might even be able to deal with a late Dharma adept. How could he have been killed so easily?"
The four of them looked at each other again, as if they had fallen into a dead end.
At this moment, the sixth formation that Lu Ping and Deng Ming had broken earlier suddenly flashed. A monk with messy hair and a pair of blurred eyes, as if he was drunk, stumbled and crashed into the sixth formation wall. He looked at the four of them and said, "What if he had a talisman? A seven-colored talisman!"
"What? A seven-colored talisman?"
"That's why?"
"That makes sense. No wonder he was able to break three formations in such a short period of time!"
"I heard that Wen Yuan is also at the mid Dharma stage. However, he is an expert in matrices, so there is a limit to how strong he is. If he really is ambushing someone, and that person has a talismanship-breaking talisman, then I'm afraid it's not just that he has the means to deal with Grand Adepts. Instead, even an early Dharma adept of the third generation might be able to defeat him!"
"After all, he is a mid Dharma adept. I heard from the disciples that he had appeared in the Five Elements Tortoise a few days ago. He must have gone to strengthen his training. In that case, even if someone used a talisman to break the formation, I'm afraid that the person would not be too weak to kill him."
"Oh, the Old Man has also heard about this. I heard that the Peacock royalty suffered a great loss this time in the Five Elements Tortoise. A few of their juniors were tricked and almost died. A few elders rushed to rescue them, but after the Tortoise disappeared into the void, they were strangely surrounded by Mara's army. Out of the three late Dharma adepts, two were actually killed. Tsk tsk, this Peacock royalty is going to suffer a lot."
"The Old Man has also heard about this. I heard that the Yuwen family, the Lingyun Valley, and the Wuxing School have joined forces to plot for the Peacock royalty's Natal Plume Feather. The Peacock royalty is not going to suffer a loss. Even if they lost two Great Dharma adepts, with the Peacock royalty's strength, not to mention two Great Dharma adepts, even two Pure Yang Laozu would not be a problem."
…
When Lu Ping and Deng Ming's vision became clear again, they were already on an island.
"Senior, don't tell me this is …"
Lu Ping chuckled and said, "Perhaps. After all, this is my first time here as well! But since you've already joined our sect, you should change the way you address me. You and I are of the same generation. I entered the sect before you, so you can just call me Brother Lu. "
Deng Ming wanted to postpone it, but Lu Ping had already said, "That's settled then," rejecting his request. Among the three generations of adepts in the Zhenling Sect, there was now one more formation master who was about to become a grandmaster.
The two of them were on a stone platform in a remote area of the island. At this time, there was a five-pointed star teleportation pattern on the stone platform.
Deng Ming came down from the stone platform and saw Lu Ping squatting down on the stone platform. Then, he formed a seal with both hands and pressed it towards the teleportation formation on the stone platform. Five rays of light burst out from the five corners of the teleportation formation. When the light dissipated, five crystal clear beads appeared in the five corners. They were the Spatial Essence that Lu Ping had integrated into the five nodes of the formation.
The island was full of broken walls and ruins left behind by spells and magic powers. Due to the passage of time, it had gradually become desolate. Many places were covered by thick dust, and weeds and vines grew everywhere. But one could still see how magnificent the layout and buildings of the island were.
Unlike Lu Ping, Deng Ming came here with a different purpose. He came here with the mentality of a pilgrimage.
Lu Ping stretched out his hand and a spatial door suddenly opened. Under Deng Ming's surprised gaze, a huge white tiger demon walked out.
This giant tiger's cultivation was close to the late stage of the Core Forging Realm. The moment it appeared, it bared its fangs at Deng Ming, and a murderous aura rushed towards him.
In addition to formations, Deng Ming naturally had some knowledge. He was surprised and said, "Hanging Eyes White Tiger Clan?"
Lu Ping patted the giant tiger's head, and a golden light rose around the giant tiger. An eleven or twelve year old child appeared in front of Deng Ming. Lu Ping introduced him, "This is Lu Xiaohai, my follower. Xiaohai, this is your Martial Uncle Deng!"
Lu Xiaohai glanced at Deng Ming and said, "He's so weak. Although his cultivation is higher than Xiaohai's, Xiaohai can definitely beat him to a pulp!"
Deng Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He saw Lu Ping patting the child's head and said with a smile, "You naughty child, your Martial Uncle Deng is a dignified Formation Master. How can a guy with a brain full of muscles like you understand?"
As they spoke, a few more children came out of the space portal. Deng Ming could see clearly that these people were all surging with Demonic Qi. They were undoubtedly cultivators of the Demon Clan.
Samling, Lu Qin-er, Dabao, Peach Blossom, Amethyst Queen Bee, and others were all released by Lu Ping. Lu Dagui was sleeping because he had received Xiang Xiping's Bloodline Secret Technique. Once he woke up, his aptitude would be greatly improved.
Deng Ming said in disbelief, "Senior, Senior Brother Lu, are they all your followers?"
Deng Ming was shocked in his heart. What kind of origin are these Demon Cultivators in front of me? The more I look at those three children, the more they look like Green Sea Snakes. Am I hallucinating?
And that Rat Demon, is that a Spirit-seeking Rat? A shapeshifting Spirit-seeking Rat? What a joke! Shouldn't it be from the Embroidered Rat Clan in the Endless Mountains? But the shapeshifting cultivators of the Embroidered Rat Clan are all handsome and dignified. How could this Rat Demon be so fat?
There was also the phoenix, the little girl, Lu Taohua, and the little girl with two pairs of wings, Lu Zilan. Who were these people?
Just as Deng Ming was pondering, Lu Ping's voice sounded in his ear, "Junior Brother Deng, I'm afraid we'll have to stay on Kongming Island for some time. Take these troublesome things and explore the island first. When the Kongming Sect was destroyed, although Laozu looted everything in the Kongming Sect, there's no guarantee that he didn't leave anything behind. The Spiritual Qi here is abundant, so the Kongming Sect's Spiritual Veins are not damaged. You can also cultivate here for a period of time and focus on studying the Formation Inheritance you've obtained. I need to cultivate here for a period of time so that I can pass my first Thunder Tribulation."
