Before they were strong enough, even those eighth and ninth layer cultivators would not fight with others in the air. The risk was too great. Moreover, it was very difficult to display their full strength while fighting with others while controlling a flying spirit artifact.
If they were not careful and their flying spirit artifact was destroyed, they might even fall to their death …
This was not a joke. It had happened before, and it wasn't the first time.
This situation would only improve after a cultivator cultivated a Heaven Grade Secret Art. At that time, a cultivator's control of their own Spirit Energy would be greatly improved, and they would be able to fly while fighting.
The one flying through the air was a Ninth Order cultivator, which could be seen from the aura he was emitting.
Although Hao Ren and his sister were both Eighth Order cultivators, they didn't want to provoke such an opponent, so they concealed themselves as much as possible. Fortunately, looking at the trajectory of the person's flight, it didn't seem like he was coming for them. It seemed like he was just passing by.
This made them breathe a sigh of relief. This place was barren and lush with trees, so as long as Lu Ye was careful, they shouldn't be exposed.
Since the other party dared to fly over Sky Pillar Sect's station so openly, there was a high chance that he was a cultivator from Myriad Demon Ridge. Even if he wasn't from Sky Pillar Sect, he must have some relationship with them.
Once exposed, there would definitely be a big battle.
* Zheng … *
The sound wasn't too loud, but it was extremely penetrating. It was like a long sword being unsheathed.
Hao Ren and Hao Qing looked at each other as a bad feeling rose in their hearts.
Looking at the stream of light passing by, they saw that it had also heard the commotion and was descending.
As the light descended, the figure standing on the flying spirit artifact gradually revealed itself.
Hao Ren hurriedly glanced over with a dignified expression. He recognized the other party's identity. It was a cultivator from Sky Pillar Sect named Yuan Guang.
The reason he recognized Yuan Guang was because he was the previous Deputy Guardian of the Sky Pillar Sect's encampment. However, the Myriad Devil Ridge had suffered a great loss in the battle against the Spirit Stream Sect. Therefore, many Guardian Envoys and Deputy Envoys of the Myriad Devil Ridge were held accountable and removed from their positions.
Most of the Protectors of Grade Five and Grade Six Sects were Ninth Order cultivators, because this was already enough. Only Grade Four Sects, because their garrisons were close to the Core Circle, would have Protectors who cultivated Heaven Grade Secret Arts.
Yuan Guang was not a person to be trifled with. He must have already possessed a Heaven Tier cultivation technique, but because he had not opened enough apertures, he had yet to convert his cultivation technique.
However, the number of Enlightened Acupores he had was definitely more than 200.
Hao Ren did not know where Lu Yiye got his confidence from to provoke such a strong person. The sound of him unsheathing his saber must have been deliberately made by Lu Yiye.
At this moment, Lu Ye was sitting beside the Violet Cloud Flower, quietly watching Yuan Guang descend.
He didn't make a move immediately because he wasn't sure of the other party's faction.
But soon, Lu Ye was sure.
This was because when Yuan Guang saw the four corpses lying in the pool of blood, his expression became very ugly. Even his face twitched slightly. He asked in a low voice, "Did you kill these people?"
Boom …
Just as Yuan Guang's voice fell, Lu Ye had already rushed in front of him and chopped down with his saber.
As expected of a Ninth Order cultivator, his reaction was very fast. He held a long sword in front of him and blocked Lu Ye's saber.
At such a close distance, their eyes met. Yuan Guang was furious, "You're courting death!" At the same time, he was secretly shocked. This Seventh Order cultivator was so fast and strong. Yuan Guang's hand was a little numb after he blocked the saber with a cultivation two Realms higher than his.
[Is this an Armament Cultivator or a Body Cultivator?] [Even a Ninth Order Body Cultivator doesn't have such strength, right?]
He looked at the other party seriously, as if he could see Lu Ye's appearance clearly.
"Yiyi!"
As Lu Ye shouted, the Mountain Saber suddenly bloomed with a dazzling light. At that moment, it was as if a sun had risen from the saber.
Yuan Guang did not expect such an unforeseen event. In an instant, his eyes turned white and he couldn't see anything! He was not surprised and hurriedly retreated. However, an invisible force suddenly fell from the sky, like a mountain pressing down on him, causing him to involuntarily lower his body.
The transformation of the two Spirit Runes, Sunshine and Heavy Pressure, really caught him off guard.
The fighting style of a battle rune master was so strange and changeable. Lu Ye didn't master many spiritual tattoos, but he could already play some miraculous effects in changing spiritual tattoos. It could be imagined how difficult it was to deal with those famous battle rune masters. When fighting with them, many of their methods were impossible to guard against. Often, the enemy didn't even know how they died.
This sudden change shocked Yuan Guang. He raised his hand and patted the storage bag at his waist. At the same time, a stream of light flew out. At the same time, his Spirit Qi surged. Without caring about his own consumption, the long sword in his hand slashed forward again and again.
He felt as if the world was spinning. When his vision recovered, Yuan Guang was shocked to find that he was in a different place. He was originally in a desolate mountain range with lush vegetation, but now he was in a stone forest.
[This is …]
"An Array Diagram?" Yuan Guang lost his voice.
At the same time, the Hao siblings, who noticed the battle and hurried over to help, also stared at the Spirit Artifact in front of Yiyi with wide eyes.
"An Array Diagram?"
The so-called Array Diagram was refined by an extremely skilled Array Cultivator and Artifact Cultivator. An Array Cultivator set up a Spirit Array, while an Artifact Cultivator cultivated an Array Diagram. They might also need the help of a powerful Spirit Rune Master. The refining process was complicated and the materials consumed were also very precious.
In the past, Hao Ren had only heard of the existence of Array Diagrams, but he had never seen one with his own eyes because this thing was not something that a Spirit Stream Realm cultivator could possess.
Not to mention them, even the entire Silver Light Island didn't have a single Array Diagram. But today, he actually saw a legendary Array Diagram in the hands of a Sixth Order Spirit Stream Realm cultivator. It was really an eye-opener.
He was shocked. As expected of the Blue Blood Sect. A starving camel was still bigger than a horse. They even had an Array Diagram, and they even gave it to a Spirit Stream Realm cultivator to use. They weren't afraid of losing it.
In fact, he was wrong. This Array Diagram didn't belong to the Blue Blood Sect.
The Blue Blood Sect didn't have an Array Diagram …
It belonged to Madam Yun.
After learning that Lu Ye was going to enter the Inner Circle, Madam Yun was very worried about his safety. After all, Lu Ye had caused such a big commotion on the Golden Light Peak. It was very likely that he would be targeted by the Myriad Demon Ridge.
She had already designated Lu Ye as her successor. At the same time, as a top Spirit Rune Master, how could she not prepare something good for Lu Ye?
So, she gave this precious Nine Worlds Diagram to Lu Ye. This thing's value was beyond the scope of a Spirit Artifact. It could be classified as a Spirit Artifact.
In addition to this Nine Worlds Diagram, there was another thing, but that thing was useless to Dou Zhan.
Considering that Lu Ye's cultivation wasn't enough, Madam Yun sealed ninety percent of the power of this Spirit Artifact, leaving only ten percent. Otherwise, with Lu Ye and Yiyi's cultivation, they wouldn't be able to activate this Nine Worlds Diagram.
But even if this Spirit Artifact only had ten percent of its power left, Yiyi couldn't fully exert it, but it was enough for self-protection.
Yiyi didn't understand formations, but Lu Ye knew a little. But it didn't matter. The Nine Worlds Diagram was a formation diagram, but it was also a Spirit Artifact. Yiyi didn't need to know anything about formations. She only needed to pour her power into it to exert some of the Nine Worlds Diagram's power.
The reason why it was called the Nine Worlds Diagram was that this formation diagram contained nine small spaces of different terrains. When activated, people could be put into the formation diagram. Eight of the nine small spaces were sealed, leaving only the small space of the Stone Forest terrain that could be used.
This was a real terrain. When refining the Nine Worlds Diagram, Madam Yun found such a terrain in the Nine Provinces. She used her powerful Spirit Rune Dao to peel it off and then refined it into the Nine Worlds Diagram. The small spaces of the other eight terrains were formed in this way.
At this moment, the Nine Worlds Diagram was floating in front of Yiyi. Her Spirit Qi surged and kept pouring into it.
From an outsider's point of view, the Nine Worlds Diagram was like a splash-ink landscape painting. In the painting was a Stone Forest terrain. Stone pillars of different heights stood in a forest, and the ground was covered with yellow sand. It gave off a bleak atmosphere.
And in a certain position in the painting, there were two small figures facing each other. One of them had the appearance and figure of Lu Ye.
The other figure was very similar to Yuan Guang.
"Inner formation diagram!"
Hao Ren swallowed his saliva.
There were two types of formation maps: outer formation maps and inner formation maps. Once the outer formation map was set up, it would cover an area with layers of formations. If an enemy stepped into it, it would activate the power of the formation and kill the enemy. It could be said that it was the best choice for setting up an ambush.
The inner formation diagram was like the Nine Worlds Diagram. It would pull the enemy into the formation diagram and activate the formation to kill them.
The positioning of the two formations was different. As for which one was more precious, it was not easy to compare. Anyway, looking at the entire Nine Regions, there were not many formation diagrams because refining them was too troublesome.
The most famous formation diagram was called the Mountain and River Diagram. It was the treasure of a First Grade Sect in the Tian Continent. Mountains and rivers were sealed inside it, all of which had been refined by a Spirit Sea Realm cultivator. Each of these mountains and rivers could be used to kill the enemy. Its power was extremely terrifying.
This diagram was accumulated by that Sect over thousands of years. It was not the work of a single generation.
The Nine Worlds Diagram was refined by Madame Yun alone. Naturally, its power was not comparable to the legendary Mountain and River Diagram, but even if it could only exert a little bit of its power, it was enough for Lu Ye and Yiyi to use.
Inside the formation diagram, the figures representing Lu Ye and Yuan Guang had begun to fight. There were faint Spirit Qi fluctuations coming from inside the formation diagram. Looking at the scene on the diagram, it was as if two ink figures were fighting. It was very funny, but the fight inside the formation diagram was extremely dangerous.
"We brother and sister can help." Hao Ren collected his thoughts and quickly said, finally understanding why Lu Ye took the initiative to provoke a passing Ninth Order cultivator. It turned out he had this card up his sleeve.
As long as the two of them entered the formation diagram, it would be three against one, and Yuan Guang would die!
He thought this was Lu Ye's plan, but Yiyi shook her head and said, "Lu Ye didn't ask for help, so there's no need for it for now. Many thanks."
Hao Ren didn't say anything more and simply looked towards the formation diagram.
