Meng Zhen only knew that the one guarding the west was a nameless Taoist. Since he couldn't tell who he was, he shook his head and stopped looking at him. He took out a jade stone and threw it into the formation. Then he pinched his fingers and calculated carefully. The three Zhenrens knew that he was sensing the Qi movement in the formation and didn't dare to disturb him.
A moment later, Zhenren Meng put down his hand and said in a deep voice, "It really is the 'Four Symbols Killing God Formation'. Judging from the Qi dynamic, the door inside the formation will change every four hours, so it's not too difficult. But if you want to break the formation, there's only a sliver of chance when the yin and yang alternates every day. If you want to break the formation within three days, you can only try your best."
Sun Zhenren said, "Senior Martial Brother, why don't we go back to Bamboo Island to discuss this?"
Meng Zhen nodded slightly and waved his sleeve. The four Zhenrens rode the cloud back to Bamboo Island.
After the several Zhenren were seated under the canopy, the boy brought the fragrant fruits, fruits, vegetables, and wine to the table. He also lit the high incense sticks. The clear air curled up in spirals and a strange fragrance spread out. The boy bowed with cupped fists and retreated to the sides.
Zhenren Yan bowed to Meng Zhen and said, "Senior Martial Brother, it is almost noon. Why don't we let our disciples go in?"
Meng Zhen sighed and said, "That is the only way." ,,,
The four corners of the formation were the key to breaking the formation, but this place was the most dangerous.
After the formation was activated, the person guarding the formation could combine the Fa Li of the other three people, and the power was several times stronger than before. Even if a few people from the Dongtian entered the formation and rushed in front of them, they would not be able to withstand the joint attack of the four people.
Therefore, they could only rely on the disciples who were not afraid of death to enter the formation and follow the changes of the formation to the corners. Although they couldn't avoid death, as long as they left their magic tools, they could temporarily disturb the operation of the formation.
As long as there was a chance to prevent the four formation masters from joining forces, the four Zhenrens could break into the formation at this moment and break it.
Zhenren Yan said to a Daoist boy, "Go to the foot of the mountain and call eight disciples up."
The Daoist boy accepted the order and left.
A moment later, the eight disciples rode a flying carriage to the peak of the mountain. They got off the carriage in front of the stairs and stepped forward to greet the four Spiritual Masters.
Within these four hours, no one would know how the door in the array would operate unless they entered the array. Thus, although these disciples said that they were trying to break the array, they were actually just testing the array. They would definitely die in the array.
Zhenren Meng sighed slightly and said, "Have you remembered the names of these disciples?"
A boy came out from his side, bowed and said, "Teacher, I've memorized everything, I didn't miss anything."
Meng Zhen nodded, and each of them placed a talisman on the foreheads of the eight people. He said, "This is the method of stepping on the formation that I've taught you. All of you go and wait in front of the formation. If you see the spiritual Qi falling from the four corners, you can enter the formation."
The eight disciples agreed in unison, took their instruments and left. They boarded the flying carriage and flew to the front of the formation.
After they left, Meng Zhen said, "Gui Congyao will guard the Black Tortoise position, Luo Mengze will guard the Azure Dragon position, Quyue will guard the Vermilion Bird position, and that nameless Daoist will guard the White Tiger position. Now the four symbols and four Qi are moving back and forth. Junior Martial Brothers, we should first order our disciples to lock the spiritual Qi and isolate it."
Zhenren Yan, Zhenren Zhu, and Zhenren Sun bowed together and said, "As you command, Senior Martial Brother."
Meng Zhen took out a small black flag and said to Qi Yuntian who was not far away, "Yuntian, take my Overflowing Square Flag and go to the north to lock the Qi. If the people in the formation make any rash moves, I'll come to help.
Qi Yuntian bowed and said, "Yes, Master." He took the flag and left. A moment later, a clear Qi flew to the north.
Zhenren Yan also summoned a handsome young Daoist and said, "Luo Qingyu, take my White Dragon Golden Lock and go to the west. If there are any changes, don't panic, I'll know."
The young Daoist smiled and bowed, "As you command, Master." After bowing, he also turned around and left.
Zhenren Zhu took out a magic sword and said coldly, "Zhuang Bufan, take my Auspicious Cloud Red Phoenix Sword and go to the east!"
Zhuang Bu Fan didn't dare to be negligent. He stepped forward and respectfully accepted the sword, then retreated a few steps down the stone steps. Only then did he turn into a ray of light and flew towards the east.
Sun Zhenren smiled and waved to Ning Chongxuan. He took out an ancient barnacle from his sleeve and said, "Chongxuan, take my Five Thunder Pot and go to the south. I don't think that old demon will dare to come out and find trouble with you."
Ning Chongxuan took the pot and bowed. He stood up and a green ray went to the south of the formation.
The Four Symbols God Killing Formation could absorb Qi from all directions. If the Qi was continuous, the formation could operate without any external force and its power could be increased by several times.
If there were four True Weapons in the four directions, it could cut off the Qi from the outside. The person in charge of the formation could only use his own mana.
But if the person in charge of the formation also had four True Weapons in the formation, then this arrangement would be useless.
However, True Artifacts were hard to come by. Even the Yue Cang Sect didn't have many of them. The Three Lakes Demonic Beasts weren't so extravagant that they could take out four True Artifacts at once. Even if they had one, it wouldn't be of much use. Instead, it would cause the formation to not function smoothly.
It was because of this that Meng Zhen dared to let his disciples do what they wanted.
However, the demons of the three lakes had obviously expected this, so they did not expect to operate the formation by relying on the Evil Qi. They had long agreed that from the beginning of breaking the formation to the end of the formation, there would only be three days. If the formation could not be broken within three days, the Dark Azure Sect would have to admit defeat.
。。 op
Maintaining it for three days was really nothing to the few powerful beings with profound magical powers, so they didn't care too much about it.
After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, everyone on the mountain peak looked into the distance and saw the lights on the four corners of the cloud formation suddenly disappear. Not long after, a boy came up and reported, "Ancestral Master, the eight disciples have entered the formation."
Meng Zhen closed his eyes and did not speak. An hour later, eight rays of light flew to the peak and turned into eight talismans. They landed in front of his table.
These were the protective jade talismans of the eight disciples. Now that they had protected their original spirits, it meant that none of them came out alive.
Daoist Meng had already expected this, so his expression didn't change. His gaze swept over the jade tablet, and his lips moved as he asked the Origin Spirit in the jade. After a while, he nodded and said, "I already know the changes in this formation during these four hours. Tong 'er, go and call eight more disciples over." …
Although the array formations in the world were ever-changing, they were all evolved from the Nine Great Origin Arrays. Once they were activated, people could see the general pattern clearly. After a certain period of time, no matter how the array formation rotated, it would not break away from these patterns.
However, this formation would change every four hours. When it came to the next challenge, he would have to use the lives of the disciples to calculate the changes during this period of time.
If Qincang School was willing to send more than a thousand disciples to fill in the formation, the formation would definitely be broken. However, if they did so, the foundation of Qincang School would be ruined. As a righteous sect, they could not do such a thing.
When the boy summoned another eight disciples, Daoist Meng sent a talisman into their Sea of Consciousness. Only then did he say, "I've already informed you of the various changes that have occurred in this formation in the past four hours. The eight of you will bring your celestial artifacts forward. You must not be confused by the scene in the formation, lest you mess up. If you can reach the corner of the formation, you don't need to care about anything else. Just throw your celestial artifacts.
The eight disciples bowed in agreement.
Meng Zhen waved his sleeve and said, "Go."
He sat down and waited for another hour. When it was almost noon, another eight rays of spiritual light flew to the peak.
Meng Zhen looked at the sky and shook his head. He said, "The hour has passed. Let's talk again at midnight."
Only when Yin and Yang alternated between each day and noon would the four people's Qi flow become sluggish. If it was any other time, it would be even harder to find a flaw in the formation.
Time passed quickly, and when it was midnight, the sixteen disciples who went to break the formation still returned empty-handed.
The four Enlightened Masters sat in silence. When it was noon the next day, the sixteen disciples still died in the formation. Only their primordial spirits returned. None of them managed to reach the corner of the formation.
When the day came, after the first eight disciples tested the formation, Daoist Meng sent out 32 disciples in one go.
After waiting patiently for more than an hour, Daoist Meng suddenly opened his eyes. The other Daoists' expressions also changed. He pinched his fingers together to deduce, then sighed and said, "It's a pity. Although a disciple on the Vermillion Bird's seat has successfully entered the corner of the formation, if I'm not wrong, the four of them purposely left a flaw to lure us into the formation.
He shook his head. If there were disciples on both corners of the formation, it would be worth it even if it was a trap.
As expected, none of the disciples who tried the formation came back alive today. Only the primordial spirits protected by the jade tokens flew back to the peak. In the night, dozens of firefly-like lights flew over, and the hundreds of disciples on the island were sad to see them.
For the past two days, Zhang Yan had been watching coldly from the sidelines. When he saw this scene, he sighed in his heart, "Without great divine power and great magic power, longevity is nothing more than a dream. I'm just a chess piece that's being manipulated by others. Unless I become the chess player, only then will I be able to do as I please."
Enlightened Master Yan said expressionlessly, "Tomorrow is the last day. Senior Brother, it's time to make a decision."
Meng Zhen said in a deep voice, "If they don't break the formation tomorrow at noon, they won't have a chance to break the formation at midnight. It's a pity that if the method I taught them can keep their original heart and not be disturbed by the formation, they can definitely break the formation and reach the corner. These disciples obviously know that they will die, but they are still afraid at the last moment, so they miss the opportunity."
Enlightened Master Yan said expressionlessly, "If their Taoist Heart is firm, they won't be stagnant below the Core Transformation Realm even if they are limited by their qualifications."
Meng Zhen nodded slowly and said to the boy, "Tong 'er, go and summon the three Junior Brothers."
Before long, three white-haired cultivators came up. They didn't kowtow to the four Enlightened Masters but just cupped their hands to greet them.
These three people were of the same generation as the four Enlightened Masters. However, after they cultivated to the peak stage of the Core Transformation Realm, they couldn't practice Yuanying. Now that their lifespans were almost up, they could only seek to be freed from the Killing Path and reincarnate as a human to cultivate again.
Meng Zhen stood up, cupped his hands, and said, "Junior Brothers, I'll have to trouble you tomorrow at noon."
The three old men all had indifferent expressions. Obviously, they had already seen through life and death. They returned the greeting and said, "We'll listen to Senior Brother's orders."
