Suddenly hearing this sound, Zhang Yan's expression changed slightly. After pondering for a moment, he guessed that someone should be forcefully attacking the restriction on the last mountain path.
Because he had the guidance of the Sect Leader's letter, he knew that the restriction on the mountain wasn't that easy to break. Even with the help of powerful treasures and the combined efforts of several Yuanying Zhenrens, it wasn't something that could be broken in a day.
After thinking about it, he decided to ignore it. He couldn't miss the opportunity to collect the Earth Aura, so he decided to do his best to collect it first.
Therefore, he didn't care about what was happening outside. He sat down cross-legged on the mound and released his Core Evil Qi, which turned into a white smoke that circled around him. He used a spell to cover the Earth Evil Qi and put all his attention into it.
The Earth Aura was nurtured by the Spiritual Vein. When he took it, not only did he have to collect the Earth Aura, but he also had to collect a bit of the Spiritual Qi of the Spiritual Vein. Then, he moved it to another cave and connected it to the Spiritual Vein. This way, the Earth Aura wouldn't leak out and the Earth Aura would be preserved.
This wasn't something that could be done in one go. He had to collect it bit by bit.
He concentrated and busied himself for seven days and seven nights before he absorbed all the sixteen Earthly Evils into the sixteen pill bottles.
However, if these Earth Aura weren't planted in a good cave, in less than half a month, the Earth Aura would be cut off and the Earth Aura that had been accumulated for thousands of years would disappear.
Therefore, what he needed to do now was to complete the Sect Leader's task and return to the Clear Nether Lake.
However, at this moment, he heard a loud rumbling sound and a tremor came from beneath his feet.
However, his expression was calm and he wasn't surprised at all. Over the past few days, he had heard this sound more than ten times and the intervals between them were getting shorter and shorter. It was obvious that he wasn't far from the last hall.
At this moment, he didn't want to waste any more time. He used all his strength and leaped out. After he rushed out, he turned into a cloud of smoke and rushed toward the highest peak.
What he didn't know was that at the same time that the loud sound rang out, the six pitch-black stone pillars that rose from the ground of the entire mountain fiercely rotated. The formation door that was originally flickering outside Mount Qing Tong closed with a loud bang and disappeared. It actually cut off the entrance!
At this moment, almost all the cultivators from this world had gathered at the highest peak of Yaoyin Mountain. There were more than 100 people there.
Standing at the very front were two Perfected Yuanying.
On the left was a skinny old Daoist with a sparse beard and a forehead full of wrinkles. This person was Nan Hua Sect's Yuanying Enlightened Master Ying Chenglin.
He looked outside the mountain in a daze and stomped his feet. He sighed, "Junior Brother Yue, I already said that this restriction can't be touched. Look, look, it really is so. Now that the restriction on the mountain path has been broken, we can go to the last hall. However, this has caused the formation outside the door to be closed. If this continues, who knows what kind of trouble it will cause!"
The person he was complaining about was the pair of martial brothers from Huanzhen Temple. The person in the lead was the other Perfected Yuanying Enlightened Master Yue Yuji. When he heard this, he immediately became unhappy and a trace of anger appeared on his face.
Seven days ago, the two of them had discussed whether to open the restriction in the hall. At that time, although Ying Chenglin had agreed, now that the formation door was closed, he was blaming him. What was the reason for this?
Although they were also in the Yuanying Realm, there was a difference of more than 300 years between them. Although Ying Chenglin had long entered the Yuanying Realm, due to various reasons, he had not been able to break through to the second stage for a long time. Now that his life was coming to an end, he was a little lethargic. He came here just to see if there was a chance for him to break through. If there was no chance, then he would go back and be reincarnated.
There were many restrictions on the mountain path, and the last hall in front of him was the most important place of the Yaoyin Clan. It was impossible for it to be heavily guarded. He was afraid that he would trigger some big formation, so he had the intention to retreat. However, under Yue Yuji's request, he had no choice but to agree. He originally planned to turn around and leave once the situation was not right, but now that he saw that there was no way out, he naturally felt that he had been dragged into this.
However, Yue Yuji was different. He had only entered the Yuanying Realm for more than 10 years. Now was the time when he was full of mettle. He felt that on the road to immortality, he would definitely have his own name. Therefore, he did not approve of Ying Chenglin's way of doing things.
He did not know the real intention of the other party, so he could not help but measure the other party by himself. He thought to himself, "Ying Chenglin is only doing this because this Qing Tong Mountain is very close to the Huanzhen Temple. He is afraid that after the restriction is removed, the Huanzhen Temple will gain the most benefits. How can I follow his intention?"
Therefore, he looked down and said loudly to the hundreds of cultivators, "I do not agree with Daoist friend Ying's words. From I's point of view, it is a good thing that the array door is closed. Fellow Daoists, follow I up to the peak. If there is anything that belongs to the Yaoyin Clan, I will make the decision to share it with all of you. There is no need to share it with others. Moreover, as long as we find the mechanism of the restriction, we will be able to leave this place."
His words struck a chord in the hearts of everyone present. What were they here for? Wasn't it because they wanted to gain some benefits so that they could be of some help on their path of cultivation? They clearly knew that there was a great opportunity in front of them, but they did not care about it. This was definitely not what they wanted.
Ying Chenglin sighed and shook his head. He had long lost his sharpness. Since Yue Yuji was so high-profile, there was nothing he could do to stop him. In any case, since things had already come to this point, there was no turning back. He might as well shut his mouth and not say anything.
At this moment, all the restrictions on the mountain path had been destroyed. After everyone came to an agreement, they ascended the peak together, and it wasn't long before they arrived before the hall. Everyone raised their eyes to take a look, and they couldn't help but praise in their hearts.
This main hall stood alone on the dangerous peak and suppressed the mountain. The hall was vast and was supported by forty-nine gilded pillars. The bottom was made of bluestone, and the outside was a square that could accommodate a thousand people. A mysterious tablet carried by Baxia stood in front of the hall. It was about 60 meters tall, and the three words' Boxin Peak 'were written on it.
At the four corners of the square were white jade stone blocks, and there were statues of strange beasts crouching on them. Especially on the east and west sides, the water was like a tide. The waterfall at the foot of the mountain actually flowed against the current and went up to the roof of the hall. In the end, it fell into the mouths of a pair of bronze dragon beasts on the ridge of the roof. It was magnificent, exquisite, and extraordinary.
Ying Chenglin looked at the mysterious tablet and grunted. He said, "There's another restriction here. It looks like it's even more difficult to break than the few places on the mountain path Just Now. Fellow Daoists, if you want to, then do it yourselves."
After saying that, he moved to the side and sat down, not speaking or moving.
Yue Yuji couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. Although the restriction was strong, if two Daoists Yuanying joined hands, it wouldn't be a problem. But if he was alone, it would be a bit difficult.
Ying Chenglin clearly knew that he had to break the restriction to get out, but he refused to do it. It was obvious that he was mocking him and wanted to see him make a fool of himself.
Yue Yuji thought to himself, "Fine, if something good comes out of this hall later, I'd like to see if this Daoren still has the face to reach out and take it."
Then he said, "On the way here, I heard that Yuan Yang Sect's fellow Daoist Mo has also entered this place. May I know which fellow Daoist has seen him?"
Mo Tianxin had only brought two children into the mountain. When other people saw that he was Yuanying Daoist Master, they all consciously avoided him, not daring to get close to him. How could anyone know where he was?
Yue Yuji wasn't disappointed when no one responded. He was also a person who could make up his mind. He closed his eyes and thought for a while, then said, "Junior Martial Brother, come here."
The thin-bearded Daoist walked forward, bowed, and said, "What can I do for you, Senior Martial Brother?"
Yue Yuji took out a set of formation swords from his sleeve and said, "Take these formation swords and choose five Core Transformation Daoists to control them. I'll break the formation with a formation later."
The thin-bearded Daoist reached out and took the five formation swords, then turned around and said to the cultivators, "May I know which fellow Daoist is willing to help break this formation?"
Since they had to break the formation door to get out, Kang Tong was the first to step forward. He cupped his hands and bowed to the thin-bearded Daoist, saying, "Daoist Master Hua, junior is willing to take a sword."
The thin-bearded Daoist was delighted and bowed back, saying, "I'm an outstanding disciple of Shaoqing Sect, so I can take a sword."
He didn't move at all, but a formation sword immediately flew out and fell towards Kang Tong, who caught it.
Fang Zhenlu also stood out from the crowd, he was half a step ahead of Kang Tong, he said in a clear voice, "I can also take a sword."
The thin-bearded Daoist nodded happily, "Daoist Master Fang is one of the top ten disciples of Ao Cang Sect, so you can also take a sword!"
As soon as Fang Zhenlu finished speaking, a short Daoist walked out with his hands behind his back and raised his chin, saying, "Give me a sword too."
The thin-bearded Daoist nodded, saying, "So it's Fellow Daoist Zuo Mo from Yuxiao school. With your ability, you can also take a sword."
After the three swords were divided and the thin-bearded Daoist could take a sword himself, there were four people who could take the formation swords. There was only one person left.
However, among these hundred or so cultivators, there were only a dozen or so Core Formation cultivators. After Kang Tong, Fang Zhenlu, and Zuo Mo were gone, most of the remaining cultivators were from the Xuan Sect. However, none of them had any reputation and the difference in their cultivation was too great. For a while, no one was willing to go up.
After a long silence, a middle-aged Daoist walked out with a solemn expression and said, "I am Chu Anmin from Wuyan Mountain's Jingyuan Immortal Mansion. I'm willing to give it a try."
The thin-bearded Daoist carefully sized him up and said, "So you're from Yuan Yang Sword Sect's Outer Mansion. Then take a sword."
He was also a person with sharp eyes. Although Chu Anmin was also a Core Formation cultivator, his aura was much weaker than that of Kang Tong and the other two. However, there were really no suitable candidates at the moment, so he could only give it a try.
The thin-bearded Daoist arranged for the four people to stand in their respective positions and explained them clearly. Then, he went to his own position and stood still. Yue Yuji walked down and sat in the middle of the formation to control the main formation.
Then, Yue Yuji let out a low shout and a Yuanying flew out from the top of the formation. He made a hand seal and the five formation swords immediately trembled. The five people suddenly felt a wave of aura pull their bows. Because they had been warned in advance, they didn't hesitate to use their Dan Fiend Qi. A five-colored light flew out from the formation swords and gathered in the middle to form a dazzling sword light. Yue Yuji stretched out his hand and slashed at the Xuan Stele.
As soon as the two collided, there was a rumbling sound like thunder. Everyone saw a wave of ripples on the stele. The ripples flowed and flickered endlessly. Just Now, the ripples dissipated, but the surface of the stele was still intact.
Yue Yuji shouted, "Try again!"
However, after that, they activated the sword formation again and again. After trying seven or eight times, that layer of restriction was still unbreakable.
Yue Yuji couldn't help but frown. He had clearly seen the swords just now. If he pointed the bow and combined the five swords into a sword formation, it could indeed cut open the restriction.
However, there was an aura among the five swords that was too sluggish. Just this difference caused the power of the sword formation to be greatly reduced, making it difficult to fully use it.
He knew that it was because of Chu Anmin. Compared to the other four, this person's cultivation was a level lower. If that was the case, even if they tried a few more times, the result would probably be the same.
Chu Anmin also knew that it was because of him. With a face full of shame, he stood up and said, "I'm ashamed. My cultivation is not good enough and my strength is not enough. I'm a burden to all of you."
Yue Yuji saw that Ying Chenglin was looking at him coldly from the side, as if he was waiting for him to ask for help. He couldn't help but feel annoyed in his heart. However, at this moment, he had no one to use. Just as he was trying to think of a way, an ordinary-looking Daoist walked out from the crowd and smiled at him. He cupped his hands and said, "Daoist Yue, can you let I try?"
