"That's not entirely the case." Gu Shenyang crossed his hands on his lap, deep in thought. "I wouldn't have thought of it if he hadn't mentioned it. But now, our sect really needs to be on guard. I've already sent a message to the nearby alliance sects. There's nothing wrong with being careful. However, the Myriad Devil Ridge probably won't attack our sect. Let's not talk about whether they can break into our sect's encampment. Even if they can, so what? Can't they run if they can't win? So, it's impossible for the Myriad Devil Ridge to attack Brother Yiye by taking over our sect's encampment. "
Wei Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Then, Brother Zhao also said that if there's a situation, they can send reinforcements in time."
"I wouldn't have thought of it if he hadn't mentioned it. Now that he mentioned it, I realized something was wrong. The Tian Yan Sect isn't close to here. How can they send reinforcements? He came here so quickly because he happened to have something to do nearby. If we wait for their reinforcements, it'll be too late. "
"This Brother Zhao … If you have something to say, just say it. Why do you have to beat around the bush?"
"So, he's here to poach people. He doesn't know if Brother Yiye is affiliated with our sect, so it's inappropriate for him to speak rashly. If he has a good relationship with Brother Yiye in private, then the situation will be different. I think Brother Yiye won't be able to refuse his invitation."
"This guy." Wei Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I've long heard that the Tian Yan Sect's Zhao Li is cunning. Now, it seems that he lives up to his reputation. Senior Brother, should we …"
"There's no need." Gu Shenyang waved his hand. "Brother Yiye didn't mention anything about cultivating in our sect. He's probably just passing by. Moreover, our sect owes him a lot of favors. If Zhao Li can really invite him away, that's his ability. Let's not talk about this for now. We still have to take precautions. Send more people out to monitor the situation. If the Myriad Devil Ridge really attacks, we'll have to deal with it early. "
"Yes!"
…
Giant Armor recently found a good place to cultivate, which was the cultivation room in the Shenyin Palace.
In the past, when he followed Sima Yang, he had almost never entered other people's residences. He had never experienced the feeling of cultivating under such a high concentration of Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi. Ever since Lu Ye took him there once, he was extremely obsessed with that place. Other than coming back every night to have a good meal, he was almost never seen.
Ju Jia was someone who could control his temper. In this aspect, even Lu Ye could not compare.
Thinking about it, it wasn't strange. If he couldn't control his temper, he wouldn't have been able to follow Sima Yang for so long. Sima Yang's level of exploitation was something that no one could stand.
However, because he was grateful to Sima Yang for leading him on the path of cultivation, no matter how Sima Yang treated him, Giant Armor never complained.
The Wind Flower Courtyard's cultivators who killed Sima Yang had already died in the Immortal Essence City. Even the Wind Flower Courtyard's encampment had been captured by Lu Ye. Now that Sima Yang's enmity had been avenged, he should be able to rest in peace in the underworld.
Within the pavilion, Lu Ye and Zhao Li sat opposite each other, and they spoke with fervor and assurance. What they discussed was all related to the Formation Dao.
A few days ago, the two inadvertently "met by chance", and then slowly became familiar with each other. However, because Lu Ye spent most of his time in the training room, they didn't speak much.
Until today, when he accidentally learned that Zhao Li was actually cultivating the Formation Dao, Lu Ye suddenly became interested and pulled him to discuss it together.
What he learned from Madam Yun was basically the Dao of Spirit Tattoos. His contact with the Formation Dao was mainly based on the books he brought out from Madam Yun. It could be said that he was a self-taught genius. Of course, the main reason was that the Formation Dao was a branch of the Dao of Spirit Tattoos.
Although he had some insights now, Lu Ye didn't know how high his attainments in the Formation Dao were. After all, there was no comparison.
The more he chatted with Zhao Li, the more congenial he became. He didn't see the cold sweat gradually forming on Zhao Li's forehead.
At this moment, Zhao Li was wailing in his heart. Lu Ye could use some special techniques to sneak in or break other people's protective arrays, which meant that he already had some attainments in the Formation Dao.
But after this discussion, Zhao Li discovered that Lu Ye's talent in the Formation Dao was very high, but it was a little strange.
There were two directions in the Formation Dao. One was to set up arrays, and the other was to break arrays. These two directions generally complemented each other. Those who knew how to set up arrays would definitely break arrays, and vice versa.
But Zhao Li discovered that Lu Ye's cultivation in the Formation Dao was a little biased …
Simply put, Lu Ye's performance in breaking arrays was impeccable, but in terms of setting up arrays, he seemed a little inexperienced.
The two of them naturally didn't just talk. They would also set up their own arrays and let the other party break them.
The current situation was that no matter what array Zhao Li set up, Lu Ye could break it in two or three breaths. Although Zhao Li's attainments in the Formation Dao weren't high, and the array he set up wasn't very exquisite, it shouldn't have been broken so quickly. This gave Zhao Li a big blow, and he felt that all his years of study had been in vain.
Fortunately, the array Lu Ye set up wasn't very good, and Zhao Li could break it with a little effort. This gave him some confidence.
The array Lu Ye set up wasn't very good, but the process of setting it up shocked Zhao Li. This was because he directly urged his spiritual power to set up an array in an extremely short amount of time. He didn't need to use any tools to set it up.
He had only seen this kind of method from the Great Elder of his sect. But what was the Great Elder's cultivation? And what was Lu Yiye's cultivation?
For Spirit Stream Realm cultivators like them, if they wanted to set up an array, they would need to use some tools. The most commonly used tools were small array flags or array bases. Each array flag and array base had different characteristics. With the help of these array flags and array bases, they would need to spend some time and energy to set up an array.
So now, Zhao Li wanted to understand one thing.
"Brother Yiye, who did you learn about the Formation Dao from?"
Lu Ye thought of Madam Yun. Although Madam Yun taught him about the Dao of Spirit Runes, the Formation Dao was a branch of the Dao of Spirit Runes. It wasn't wrong to say that Madam Yun taught him.
But Madam Yun had warned him before that he couldn't mention her to anyone.
"The Jade Blood Sect has some ancient books about the Formation Dao. Brother Zhao should have heard that I once obtained the inheritance of a Spirit Rune Master. Spirit Rune Masters are more or less related to the Formation Dao. So when I have nothing to do, I look through these ancient books."
"Brother Yiye, you're a self-taught genius?" The corner of Zhao Li's eyes twitched.
Without anyone to teach him, he could achieve such an achievement by himself. What if he had a good teacher? He didn't dare to imagine it.
In the past, he always heard the elders in the sect say that there were always some peerless geniuses in this world that ordinary people couldn't compare to. He didn't take it seriously. In his opinion, even if those so-called peerless geniuses were stronger than him, they couldn't be that much stronger. He, Zhao Li, was also a genius.
But now, it seemed that he was arrogant and ignorant.
However, he finally understood why Lu Ye's performance in the Formation Dao was so strange. He could easily break the array, but the array he set up was so clumsy. And the way he set it up was so shocking.
What shocked Zhao Li even more was that Lu Yiye, a self-taught genius, had actually used some special array breaking techniques to break the other party's defensive array.
"Brother Yiye, have you heard of the Hundred Formation Pagoda?"
"What's that?" Lu Ye raised his eyebrows. Although he hadn't heard of it, he knew that it had something to do with arrays just from the name.
"It can be considered a treasure from the previous era," Lin Feng said.
The so-called previous era was the era before the Spirit Stream Battlefield appeared.
Lu Ye had some understanding of the Nine States, so he naturally knew about the era.
He originally thought that a world like the Nine States, where there were many cultivation sects and countless powerful cultivators, should have a very ancient history.
But in reality, that was not the case. The situation was slightly more complicated than he thought.
Simply put, there were no ancient records of what the Nine States looked like before the Spirit Stream Battlefield appeared. All the ancient records that recorded history only described what happened after the Spirit Stream Battlefield appeared. The Spirit Stream Battlefield should have appeared about two or three thousand years ago. Since then, the Nine States had two major factions, the Haotian Alliance and the Myriad Demons Ridge.
However, one thing was certain. Before the Spirit Stream Battlefield appeared, the Nine States should have been an extremely prosperous cultivation world. This was because there were many things in the Nine States that clearly did not belong to this era. For example, some ancient relics and ancient inheritances would often appear in the Spirit Stream Battlefield.
Unfortunately, because there were no records of this, they referred to the time before the Spirit Stream Battlefield as the previous era.
The various records available could only be found about two or three thousand years ago. This was completely unreasonable. For the speed at which cultivators changed, two or three thousand years was not a long time. If there were no accidents, the lifespan of Spirit Ocean Realm cultivators would be around a thousand years. True Lake Realm cultivators would be around five hundred years. Cloud River Realm cultivators would be around two hundred years. As for Spirit Stream Realm cultivators … this level of cultivators was like chives that would pop up again and again.
Of course, these numbers were only theoretical. Cultivators often fought fiercely with others. If they suffered an internal injury, it would definitely affect their lifespan.
So now, the cultivation world of the Nine States generally believed that some earth-shattering event had happened in the cultivation world of the previous era. This event was enough to sweep the entire Nine States. Otherwise, it would not make sense that the records of the Nine States only went back two or three thousand years.
The Hundred Formation Pagoda that Zhao Li spoke of should be a remnant of the previous era.
"The Hundred Formation Pagoda has a total of one hundred floors. Every floor has a different array, and each floor is more difficult than the last. Every time you pass a floor, you will receive a reward from Tianji. Those rewards are all related to array dao. There is a saying among array cultivators: those who have not passed the Hundred Formation Pagoda cannot be considered a true array cultivator. According to our current classification of array dao, those who can pass the first ten floors can be considered to have entered the door of array dao and can barely be considered a qualified array cultivator. Those who pass the twentieth floor can be considered proficient in array dao. Those who pass the thirty-third floor can be called a grandmaster. Those who pass the sixty-sixth floor can be called a grandmaster in array dao …"
"Then what if you pass the hundredth floor?"
"No one has tried it yet." When Zhao Li said this, there was a faint trace of regret in his eyes. "Because the Hundred Formation Pagoda is not complete. There are only sixty-six floors."
