There was a total of one copper pillar, and it immediately triggered the Qi of the Earth Veins, activating the formation. In just an instant, it had trapped Zhang Yan within. Seeing this, the Daoist child suddenly cried out, "Not good, I've caused trouble!"
This formation was originally used to trap demons and beasts, and it also had the effect of defending against enemies. This child had only recently learned it, and he was still familiarizing himself with it these few days.
However, because he was too tired from practicing, he was Just Now lying down to rest for a while. When he first saw Zhang Yan, he was startled because he saw an outsider, and without thinking, he activated the formation.
This child knew that he had made a huge mistake. Trembling, he took out a talisman from his sleeve, wanting to stop the formation.
However, he had only learned how to activate the formation, and he didn't know how to break it. He was sweating for a while, but the copper pillar still didn't descend. Instead, the sound became louder.
He couldn't help but panic. Although only a short moment had passed, it felt like a long time had passed since Just Now. He said, "It's been so long, that person wouldn't have died, right?"
Originally, he didn't want to alarm the monastery head to avoid punishment, but thinking about the crime of killing someone from the same sect, he couldn't bear the consequences, so he hurriedly cried out.
Not long after, a bearded old Taoist rushed out, and when he raised his head to take a look, he knew someone was trapped in the formation. After he asked about the situation, he couldn't help but be angry, and he scolded, "Tong, how could you be so reckless?"
The child lowered his head. "I know I was wrong."
Daoren sighed, frowning as he looked at it. He snatched the talisman, and with a spell, he wanted to close the formation. However, Just Now, the talisman had already broken into pieces. He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Once the talisman broke, it meant that the person in the formation had already touched the pivot of the formation door. At the very least, one of the formation doors had been destroyed. To have such power, the person who came was at least a Core Formation cultivator, so there was no need to worry too much.
At this moment, he only needed to wait for it to exit the formation. However, he did not know the identity of the visitor and was still worried, so he said, "Tong 'er, take my seal and block off the spirit vein at the foot of the mountain."
The child was about to speak when Daoren sighed and said, "It's better if I do it myself. You stay here and watch."
The boy nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Daoren took a step forward. The astral wind enveloped his body, lifting him up as he flew towards the foot of the mountain. It was all because of the spirit vein in the mountain. As long as he could find a way to break it, it would collapse on its own. However, doing this would inevitably damage the spirit vein. If it wasn't for his disciple's fault, he wouldn't have been willing to do this.
The moment the formation was activated, Zhang Yan had already flown away on his sword, but the formation was rather strange. In the blink of an eye, it locked down this part of the world, especially the ability to move the void. No matter where he flew to, he would have to return to the formation.
After flying twice, he no longer acted rashly. Instead, he paid attention to the location of the array door.
When the copper pillar was fully extended, a sharp metal wind blew from within the formation. At the same time, the copper pillar disappeared without a trace.
Zhang Yan scoffed, the astral cloud above his head turned, casting down a ray of treasure light that covered his body, easily blocking the metal wind outside.
Then, he looked around. Now, he had a rough understanding of the path of formations. After a brief observation, he knew that the crux of the formation was on the eight copper pillars. As long as he destroyed them, the formation would be broken.
However, even if normal people knew, they couldn't do anything about it. That was because one look at the eight copper pillars and they knew that they were made using a secret technique to purposely attract people into the formation to attack. If the formation didn't break after a long time and no one could break it, sooner or later, they would be trapped in the formation.
Zhang Yan smiled. If this formation was managed by someone, he would have to spend a lot of effort. However, he didn't have to care about it now.
With a thought, he took out the Stars Sword Ball and turned it into a ray of sword light. Then, he poured all the mana in his body into it. The brilliant flame suddenly increased and turned into a sharp sword aura. It was dazzling and cold, and it shone on the entire place.
He took a light breath and shouted. He rode the sword light and slashed at a copper pillar in his memory.
After a sizzling sound, the formation suddenly shook, following that, half of a copper pillar appeared from the gray mist, falling to the ground, the cut was smooth and clean, but there was a jade core mixed in the pillar, it looked yellow with a hint of white, the jade was tender and smooth, he could not help but raise his eyebrows.
After one of the copper pillars was gone, the formation seemed to be missing a corner. The metal wind was slightly weaker than before.
Zhang Yan knew that he did the right thing. With a thought, the sword light circled around and returned to his hand.
Since this method was useful, he wasn't in a hurry to break the formation. He had already recognized that the jade in the pillar was not an ordinary item. If he took it, he could increase the power of his Demon Weapon Formation. After thinking for a while, he waved his sleeve and the water element light fell like a waterfall. With just a roll, it was collected. Then, he calmly sacrificed the sword light again.
Daoren only took a few breaths to run to the foot of the mountain. He arrived in front of a huge stone that was polished like a water mirror. He stuck the seal on it. Immediately, countless thin and dense green lines appeared. They kept circling around. It looked messy, but in fact, it was a secret. This was the phantom image of the spiritual vein in the mountain. As long as he used Dao techniques to break it, the spiritual Qi at the base of the mountain would also be cut off.
Daoren summoned a short sword and suspended it in the air. He looked at it a few times and hesitated. It wasn't that he wasn't confident, but because he was an indecisive person. Just Now, he was thinking of blocking the spiritual vein. Now, another thought popped up in his mind. "If that person can come out without my help, won't I damage the spiritual vein and do this for nothing?"
Then, he thought, "Since I'm already here, how can I just watch and do nothing? Let's do it. "
While he was hesitating, an explosion suddenly came from the top of the mountain. It was as if the mountain had collapsed and the earth had sunk. He quivered and realized that the formation had been broken. Looking at the undamaged boulder, he secretly thanked his lucky stars. He stood up and flew toward the peak of the mountain.
When he arrived at the front of the temple, he saw a young Daoist standing there with his hands behind his back. He was talking to his disciple about something. This person was calm and composed and didn't look the slightest bit disheveled. It was obvious that he didn't suffer much in the formation. He also saw a cloud above his head that was slowly rotating. He could tell that this person was also a Nascent Soul cultivator. He was slightly shocked and hurriedly descended from the flying light. He quickly walked forward and cupped his hands, saying, "May I know which fellow disciple has come? I Qiao Xiu, Fang Chen Courtyard's assistant dean. Just Now, my disciple was rude and offended Zhenren. Please forgive him. "
Zhang Yan bowed back and said, "So it's dean Qiao. I'm Zhang Yan. I'm here on Sect Leader's orders. What happened just now was just a small matter. There's no need to take it to heart."
"It's actually Zhenren Zhang?"
Dean Qiao exclaimed. Although he spent his days setting up formations in the courtyard and rarely left Fang Chen Courtyard, he didn't even know all the names of the top ten disciples. However, Zhang Yan had heard Yue Chongyang mention them recently. He knew that Yue Chongyang had killed Hu Yunzhong with one strike. His flying sword technique was especially powerful. It could be said that there was another Sword Immortal in the sect. Now that this person was standing in front of him, he couldn't help but be shocked. "So it's Zhenren Zhang who has come to visit. I apologize for not going out to greet you. May I know why you're here?"
Zhang Yan didn't say anything and handed over the talisman. Dean Qiao took it and looked at it. He suddenly said, "So that's how it is. Zhenren Zhang is a Yuanying Zhenren. It's not suitable for you to ride the Flying Starry Palace. Only the Towering Cloud Tower is suitable."
Zhang Yan couldn't help but be slightly surprised. The Flying Starry Palace and the Towering Cloud Tower couldn't be mentioned in the same breath. The latter could already be considered a treasure. Not only could it fly above the Extreme Heaven, it could also occupy mountains and rivers and temporarily use it as a cave. It was just that it wasn't Yuanying and couldn't be controlled.
But this kind of treasure was created by Bao Yang Courtyard. Why did they have to come to Fang Chen Courtyard to ask for it?
Dean Qiao saw his confusion and put away the talisman. He explained, "Bao Yang Courtyard spent a hundred years to create five Towering Cloud Towers. Just Now, they were delivered here. They want Fang Chen Courtyard to set up the restrictions. However, our courtyard is currently lacking manpower. To take care of this thing, it will probably take another ten years."
Zhang Yan was surprised. "Why would it take so long?"
Dean Qiao smiled bitterly. "Once the masters of the various islands' great formations change, Fang Chen Courtyard has to come forward to take care of them. They have to set them up again. There are also some Flying Starry Palace Cloud Towers, formation flags, and decorations. If the restrictions are damaged, they have to be sent to the courtyard to be repaired. There are only a dozen or so people inside and outside the courtyard. How can we find the time?"
Originally, when the aristocratic families were in charge, because they had been in charge of Fang Chen Courtyard for a hundred years, they were familiar with it. But after the master and disciple line of cultivators changed, the aristocratic families were all evacuated. Now, there were only two chancellors and five deacons in the courtyard. There weren't even many children. They still had to cultivate, so how could they be so busy?
For example, Yue Chongyang had to seize the opportunity to cultivate when he was on duty. He was afraid that his achievements would be delayed because of the courtyard's matters.
Helpless, Dean Qiao could only find the children under him to hand over some unimportant formations and restrictions to him so that he could be free to take care of other matters. Originally, Fang Chen Courtyard didn't have a single person come in for many years. Even if something went wrong, it would be fine, so he was very relieved. But he didn't think that there would still be a mistake.
Zhang Yan asked doubtfully, "Dean Qiao, could it be that you can't even find the person who set up the restrictions in such a large mountain gate?"
Dean Qiao sighed and said, "How would Zhenren Zhang know? This Cloud Tower needs to refine the Four Extreme Restrictions. Every corner of the formation needs at least one Yuanying cultivator to oversee and set it up. Only then can it be safe. Moreover, this person must know the wondrous use of formations. I can find a few Yuanying people, but there isn't a single person who understands formations. Even the cleverest housewife can't cook without rice."
Zhang Yan thought about it. This Sword Competition Competition was different from the past. It was a battle for the fate of the Xuanmen and Demonic Sects. It was hard to guarantee that the other party wouldn't come up with some strange scheme. If he had the help of this Cloud Tower, no matter how strong the opponent was, he would be able to resist for a while. He stopped thinking and said, "There's no harm in that. I'm willing to help from the side."
Dean Qiao said in surprise, "Could it be that Zhenren Zhang is also proficient in formations?"
Zhang Yan nodded and said with a smile, "I only know a thing or two. There's no harm in giving it a try."
Dean Qiao lowered his head in thought. Setting up this kind of restriction required the help of the Heavenly Furnace of Earth Fire. Even he had to be careful. If something went wrong, even the Great Wei's Cloud Tower would be destroyed. He was a little worried. But if he didn't agree, it would be clearly doubting whether Zhang Yan had the ability to do so. It was obvious that he would offend someone.
His old habit of indecision came back again. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't come up with a plan. He wanted to say something, but stopped himself. He was so anxious that sweat began to appear on his forehead.
Zhang Yan waited at the side for a while. Seeing him like this from start to finish, he couldn't help but laugh. "Even if this Great Wei's Cloud Tower is destroyed, I can just give it up. Why is Dean so troubled?"
