When he saw that everything was fine, Lu Zhou retracted his power.
"The oceanic beasts will come ashore in five days … In other words, the people from Great Yuan Mansion are most likely to appear in five days."
Their defenses were not strong enough.
Great Yuan and Dark Light had many Thousand Realms. It would be difficult for them to rely on their disciples to guard them.
He looked at Yu Shangrong.
Lu Zhou recited the power again.
North Mountain Road.
Yu Shangrong carried his Longevity Sword as he stood on a tower and looked at the forest outside the city.
The weather was terrible. It was misty and rainy. It was the complete opposite of Jiangdong Road.
A cultivator flew over from afar and said with a bow, "Mister Second, the weather outside isn't good. You should come back … The beasts have retreated for now. There shouldn't be any problems."
"Very well."
Yu Shangrong turned around and said indifferently, "If that swordsman appears, just inform me."
"Understood."
The cultivator bowed and continued, "That swordsman is very strange. Before you came, three of our cultivators had already died under his sword."
Yu Shangrong smiled. "I hope his sword skills are satisfactory."
"…"
The North Mountain Road was peaceful for the time being.
Lu Zhou transferred the power to Yu Zhenghai and Ye Tianxin. Both places were safe as well.
However, the wilderness was already occupied by beasts.
The humans had retreated to the cities.
Batch after batch of Direbeasts appeared … Outside of the area where humans lived, there were more and more Direbeasts.
Lu Zhou retracted his Heaven's Eye.
Even with the Supreme Profundity Card, it would be difficult for him to turn the tide.
All he could do was look for Mu Ertie, Fan Ruozhi, and the Beast Emperor. However, would they stand before him obediently and allow themselves to be trampled upon? Clearly, they would not.
The problem was slightly thorny.
Little Yuan 'er and Conch were not Thousand Realms yet. They lacked combat experience. Old Seventh and Old Fifth were only suited to guard the Imperial city.
"Yan Zhenluo and Lu Li should be fine guarding North River Road."
Lu Zhou remembered the four elders. The four elders of the Evil Sky Pavilion had rich combat experience. They were people who had been through life and death. However, they were not with him at this moment.
When the time came, one would regret not having enough men.
At this moment, Lu Zhou recited the power. The scene changed.
In the crimson, furnace-like environment.
Duanmu Sheng repulsed the Square Box with his Overlord Spear.
The other three elders watched from afar.
Bang!
Duanmu Sheng was drenched in sweat, and his veins were bulging. Cloud Piercer descended from the sky.
"Imperfect Divine Intervention."
The spear pierced through the Square Box, causing it to fall rapidly.
Boom!
He landed on the ground.
"Alright, stop fighting! Duanmu Sheng wins, "Pan Litian said with a smile.
The Square Box shrunk rapidly. Hua Wudao flew out from it and staggered a few steps backward before he managed to steady himself. He sighed and said, "Cough cough cough … This is too difficult! I have a feeling that Mister Third is ready for the Ten-leaf stage … "
"I think so too," Pan Litian said.
Zuo Yushu nodded.
"Over the past six months, Old Pan, Leng Luo, and I have successfully reached the Ten-leaf stage … Although Duanmu Sheng is about to reach the Ten-leaf stage, his potential is greater than ours."
Hua Wudao and Duanmu Sheng were the only ones who were not at the Ten-leaf stage.
Leng Luo produced the Birth Chart Heart and said, "If there's a need, we can give you the Ten-leaf Birth Chart Heart."
Something stirred in Duanmu Sheng's heart when he heard this. He said, "That's all of you. Why would I want it? When I reach the Ten-leaf stage, I'll naturally have a Birth Chart Heart. I appreciate your kindness, elders."
Everyone nodded.
Hua Wudao said, "Let's take a break … The effects of this formation are extraordinary. Cultivating here for half a year is equivalent to eight to ten years in the outside world. It's just that it's too tough."
Apart from the abundance of Yuan Qi here, all the other conditions were abnormally harsh.
For example, it was extremely hot when it was hot, and extremely cold when it was cold. There were no plants or water sources.
Nearby was a precipitous cliff, so deep that the bottom could not be seen.
"Rest for now. I'll continue," Duanmu Sheng said.
Everyone sighed.
They could see Duanmu Sheng's hard work.
He almost never stopped to rest. Even when he slept, he breathed in and out.
Wu.
The voice of the Origin Gathering Celestial Formation rang out.
Zuo Yushu leaped up and brandished her Coiling Dragon Staff. She stepped on the talismans and flew toward the edge of the grand formation. "There's no need to worry. I'll take a look first."
Among those present, Zuo Yushu was the only one who knew about Formations.
Zuo Yushu flew to the edge of the Formation. She examined the runes of the Formation and the source of the strange noises around her.
"Strange … the Essence Gathering Star Formation shouldn't be broken, so why is it smaller than before?"
"It's still shrinking?" Pan Litian asked through voice transmission.
"Hmm, it's about two meters smaller … At this rate, we won't even have a place to cultivate before long. Moreover, it's happening more and more frequently," Zuo Yushu said.
"There's something strange about this Formation. The people from the Sky Martial Court said that some people have died in the Formation over the years. Could it be because of this? "
Zuo Yushu said,
"Death is unlikely … This formation doesn't seem like a killing formation. And if there is a corpse, there should be a skeleton or something. "
As soon as he finished speaking, the other three elders looked at the nearby cliff.
Zuo Yushu sensed something as well and flew toward it.
Wu.
A cool breeze rushed up from the bottom of the cliff.
It was cool and comfortable.
Zuo Yushu found this strange. She frowned and said, "The sound came from below the cliff. It's probably caused by the strong wind and the cliff."
"That's possible. But … why did the whimpering sound coincide with the shrinking of the formation? There's sound when the Formation shrinks. How could it be such a coincidence? "Pan Litian said.
They looked at each other in dismay.
Zuo Yushu said, "It might be because of the Formation … After all, the Grand Essence Gathering Celestial Formation is an ancient Formation left behind by our predecessors. There are many things that even the Sky Research Court can't figure out."
Wu — —
The sound was even louder than before.
Zuo Yushu suddenly felt a suction force from the gust of wind. She immediately spun her Coiling Dragon Staff and unleashed tens of thousands of runes and seals to push the wind back.
Zuo Yushu said,
"Don't go near the cliff."
She retreated to her original position.
"What happened?"
"This Grand Origin Gathering Star Formation … It's possible, I'm saying it's possible … It's a man-eating formation!" Zuo Yushu said.
"Man-eating Array?!!"
Pan Litian was shocked. "Elder Zuo, are you joking? If it's really a man-eating array, do you think those people from the Sky Research Institute will survive? "
Zuo Yushu said,
"Beasts only eat Nine-leaf cultivators … Do I have to tell you that?"
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's evacuate." Pan Litian turned around and said, "Essence Gathering, Essence Gathering … It's not just gathering the Primal Qi of the heaven and earth, it's also gathering a person's essence. It might really be a Man-eating Formation."
Duanmu Sheng frowned.
He looked left and right.
After cultivating here for more than half a year, it was indeed a pity to suddenly leave.
Wu — —
The sound grew louder.
The light seal that was like a crimson furnace rapidly shrunk to half its original size.
Leng Luo said calmly, "Retreat."
He was the first to execute the Dao Invisibility Technique and flew towards the entrance of the Essence Gathering Array.
He left behind a series of afterimages.
Just as he was about to reach the entrance.
Bang!
Suddenly, a screen of light appeared at the entrance and bounced it back.
Whoosh!! The entrance was sealed, but the sound was even weirder and louder, as if someone was playing an ancient pottery xun at the bottom of a cliff.
"Let me."
Duanmu Sheng moved as though he was flying. He thrust his Overlord Spear in the air. Thousands of overlapping waves and 10,000 spear shadows shot toward the curtain-like barrier in the sky.
Bang, bang, bang, bang.
Energy shot out from the spearhead.
However, the curtain-like barrier bounced Duanmu Sheng away like a spring.
"No, someone's controlling this Formation!" Zuo Yushu said.
