Yu Xiao's reaction was also extremely fast. Even though Shui Yuan didn't inform him beforehand, when Shui Yuan shouted "Give me back my junior brother's life", Yu Xiao could see through Shui Yuan's intentions. With a strange mood, he cooperated with Shui Yuan's act. The four True Lake Stage cultivators who rushed over were really unaware of this, so the battle was extremely realistic.
It wasn't over yet. After the "respected" sect master came out to mediate, Shui Yuan's anger couldn't be quelled and she charged into the Spirit Stream Battlefield …
She was like this, and the sect master was even worse. He ran to the Thunder Continent, which was the territory of the Myriad Devil Ridge.
Fourth Senior Brother also became active in the Spirit Stream Battlefield.
Shui Yuan had already returned to the Jade Blood Sect and the sect master was also on his way back. There was no other way. The Thunder Continent's defenses were impenetrable and the sect master couldn't find a chance to attack. The Grand Heaven Alliance Master also personally sent a message to the sect master, asking him to calm down and not to take the risk alone.
The sect master took advantage of the situation and retreated from the Thunder Continent.
As for Fourth Senior Brother … the Pill Heart Sect reprimanded him and then grounded him in the encampment. Without orders, he couldn't leave.
After a few days, the incident of Jade Blood Sect's Lu Yiye being poisoned to death finally calmed down.
In the grand scheme of the cultivation world of the Nine States, Lu Ye was just a small cultivator at the Spirit Stream Realm. The Myriad Devil Ridge feared him because of the ability he displayed to break the formation. Now that he was dead, there was no need for the Myriad Devil Ridge to cause any more trouble.
On Lu Ye's side, many Guardian Envoys and Deputy Envoys of the various sects sent messages asking whether he was dead or not. Others didn't know, but those who had added him as a "friend" knew clearly.
This matter couldn't be hidden from these people. Moreover, these Guardian Envoys were the pillars of their respective sects. They had clean backgrounds and naturally wouldn't leak the news. Lu Ye didn't explain too much and only said that he had no choice. These people weren't stupid and could roughly understand what Lu Ye meant.
Recently, all the major sects in the Nine Prefectures were investigating their own disciples to prevent similar incidents from happening again. This investigation caused a large loss of spies from both sides. This could be considered a side effect of this incident.
Another message came from the battlefield imprint. Lu Ye checked and found that it was from Hua Ci.
"Today is the seventh day of your death. What do you want? I'll burn it for you. "
Lu Ye expressionlessly shifted his gaze away, stood up, and walked towards Bai Qian's room.
This time, Lu Ye had been invited to the Sky Expanse Sect's encampment to further his understanding of array dao. Because the Sky Expanse Sect had the geographical advantage of the Hundred Formation Pagoda, many of its disciples were proficient in array dao. However, it was hard to say how proficient they were.
In the entire Sky Expanse Sect, the person with the highest attainments in Array Dao was undoubtedly Grand Elder Bai Qian. Even Sect Master Yu Xiao couldn't compare to him. Therefore, Lu Ye had been learning Array Dao from Bai Qian these days.
With Lu Ye taking out such a treasure to treat Zhao Li first, Bai Qian naturally didn't hold anything back when teaching him. This allowed Lu Ye to reap great benefits, and his attainments in the Dao of Formations rose steadily.
The reason why he wanted to cultivate the Array Dao with Bai Qian was because it would be easier for him to challenge the Hundred Formation Pagoda if his attainments in the Array Dao increased.
After a round of guidance, Bai Qian discovered that Lu Ye was extremely talented in the Dao of Formations. However, when he thought of Lu Ye's background as a spirit rune master, this was also normal.
Array cultivators were considered a branch of spirit rune masters. Lu Ye had built a good foundation under Madam Yun, so he naturally cultivated the Dao of Formations with half the effort.
What Bai Qian was particularly concerned about was that Lu Ye had an unimaginably sharp eyesight when it came to breaking formations. No matter what kind of formation it was, as long as he observed it for a while, he would be able to find the flaws.
This was simply an ability that array cultivators yearned for even in their dreams. If they wanted to break a formation, they first had to find the flaws and nodes of the formation. If they couldn't do this, they couldn't even think of breaking the formation.
Bai Qian initially thought that this was Lu Ye's talent, but after a few days of observation, he discovered that something was amiss and asked about the doubts in his heart.
Lu Ye didn't hide it from him. "Elder Bai, do you know about insight spirit runes?"
"Of course I do." A Formation Dao Grandmaster like Bai Qian was also proficient in some spirit runes. However, those spirit runes were all biased towards the Dao of Formations.
He knew about insight spirit runes, but he wasn't proficient in constructing them. It was already considered good if he could succeed in one out of ten attempts.
Some restrictions in spirit tools used to detect the environment and investigate the enemy's situation used this spirit rune as the core.
"By constructing insight spirit runes in my eyes, I can see the truth and falsehood of the formation."
Bai Qian stared at Lu Ye in a daze, as if he felt that Lu Ye was joking.
However, when he thought about Lu Ye's performance when breaking the formation, he knew that this wasn't a joke. This young man before him had really constructed insight spirit runes in his eyes.
"I see." Bai Qian nodded slightly and sighed. "Young man, you dare to think and dare to do it. You're indeed amazing."
Constructing spirit runes in the eyes was simply too bold.
"Don't do this too frequently. If an accident happens, the consequences will be unimaginable." Bai Qian warned seriously. Although Lu Ye wasn't a disciple of the Sky Expanse Sect, he had displayed extremely high talent in the Dao of Formations. Bai Qian was someone who valued talent, which was why he gave such advice.
It was simply too dangerous.
The degree of danger of constructing insight spirit runes in the eyes wasn't inferior to constructing spirit-gathering spirit runes in the spirit cavities.
Since ancient times, there had been so many spirit rune masters who had studied it from generation to generation. It was impossible that Lu Ye was the only one who was smart. The spirit rune masters of the previous generation had also thought of constructing spirit-gathering spirit runes in the spirit cavities to increase the efficiency of cultivation. They had also thought of constructing spirit-gathering spirit runes in the eyes to see secrets that couldn't be seen by the naked eye.
However, no one dared to do so. No matter how outstanding a spirit rune master was, they couldn't guarantee that they would succeed when constructing spirit runes. At the same time, the smaller the spirit runes constructed, the more difficult it would be. If the construction failed accidentally, the spirit energy would go berserk.
If such a situation happened, the spirit cavities would be damaged and the eyes would be blinded.
Therefore, this idea only existed in theory. No one dared to do it. Even a spirit rune master like Madam Yun didn't have the confidence to succeed.
Lu Ye was different. There was no possibility of failure when he activated the spirit runes on the Talent Tree. Therefore, he could be unrestrained.
If he had learned the insight spirit runes from a book, he wouldn't have dared to do so.
He could feel Bai Qian's concern, but he couldn't explain it. Moreover, when he had been cultivating with Bai Qian recently, he would first use his own ability to observe the flaws of the formation. After making some judgments, he would activate the insight spirit runes to verify them. Sometimes, he would make the right judgment, and sometimes, he would make the wrong judgment. He could learn from this to improve his experience in breaking formations.
Since Bai Qian had already warned him, it was up to Lu Ye whether he would listen or not. Bai Qian didn't say anything else. He waved his hand and a small flag appeared in his hand. "Today, let's talk about the formation flag and the formation base …"
Lu Ye hurriedly sat up straight.
Days passed. During the day, he would cultivate at Senior Bai's place. At night, he would cultivate by himself. At the same time, he would study the books he had brought from Madam Yun to verify what he had learned.
Senior Bai's place was extremely quiet because he had a very high status in Heaven Expanse Sect. Although he wasn't the Sect Master, even Yu Xiao had to greet him as a disciple. Therefore, no one discovered Lu Ye and the others hiding here.
Moreover, it was rumored that Bai Qian had been injured by the aftermath of the Blue Blood Sect's Sealing Envoy's rampage. Every day, the sect's medical cultivators would come to treat Senior Bai. At this time, no one dared to disturb him.
Ju Jia meditated and cultivated all day. Although the cultivation environment here wasn't as good as the Spirit Stream Battlefield, he didn't waste any time.
Zhao Li's condition was also improving day by day. Moreover, after being treated by the Soul Cleansing Water, the potential benefits were slowly showing. Zhao Li noticed some changes these days. His control over spirit power seemed to have improved, and his perception had also improved significantly. This made him puzzled. He had escaped death, so how could he have profited from a disaster?
However, every time he thought about the encampment being captured, he felt an unbearable pain. No matter the reason, Heaven Expanse Sect's encampment was lost in his hands. This was an indisputable fact.
That night, Lu Ye was reading and cultivating when Yiyi suddenly floated in through the window and shouted in a panic, "Lu Ye, Lu Ye!"
Lu Ye looked up at her.
Yiyi said, "I don't know what Ju Jia and Hu Po are doing. You should go and take a look."
A moment later, Lu Ye followed Yiyi to a protruding rock. Below this rock was a pitch-black cliff.
At this moment, the moon was high in the sky, and the cold moonlight scattered down.
On the rock in front of them, Giant Armor and Hu Po were both lying on all fours on the ground. Their heads were raised high, sometimes looking up, sometimes looking down. Strangely, moonlight was gathering above their heads, and as the man and beast breathed, it was sucked into their stomachs.
The moonlight was like a transparent, pure white ribbon that danced lightly. From afar, it looked like a bridge made of moonlight had appeared between heaven and earth.
As Ju Jia and Hu Po breathed in and out, their bodies were covered in a layer of faint fluorescent light.
Lu Ye raised his eyebrows.
"Are they okay?" Yiyi asked.
"When did it start?"
"A few days ago."
Lu Ye was usually cultivating and reading at night, so he didn't know what was going on outside. However, Yiyi and Hu Po always had a constant connection, so Yiyi would know if anything happened to Hu Po.
Ever since a few days ago, Giant Armor would come here at night, and Hu Po would follow as well. At first, Giant Armor would just sit here and cultivate, and there was nothing wrong with him. Yiyi thought that he was bored in the house, so he wanted a change of environment.
But since three days ago, something was not quite right.
Ju Jia, who usually meditated and cultivated without moving like a statue, was twisting here and there for some reason, as if he was uncomfortable. He went through many different positions and finally found this strange position.
Hu Po learned from him.
At this moment, the man and beast would sometimes raise their heads and breathe in, and sometimes lower their heads and exhale. Their movements were extremely synchronized, and as they breathed in and out, the fluorescent light on their bodies began to flicker.
