Because of the Talent Tree and the help of the Gluttony Meal, Lu Ye could continuously consume Spirit Pills to improve his cultivation. Therefore, he had always been very confident in his speed of opening apertures. Among all the Spirit Stream Realm cultivators in the Nine States, there should be no one faster than him in terms of speed of opening apertures.
With a Heaven Seven cultivation, who could maintain the speed of opening one aperture a day in this environment? Who could compare?
Until he saw Hua Ci today!
When Hua Ci left the station and went to Ying Mountain, she was only an Eighth Order cultivator.
When she entered the Myriad Poison Forest, her cultivation had reached the Ninth Order. It could be explained that she had obtained enough benefits in the Land of Inheritance to increase her cultivation.
However, it had only been a month since she entered the Myriad Poison Forest, and she had actually reached the Heaven Seven Realm from the Ninth Order!
One had to know that after the Ninth Order, every breakthrough required sixty apertures to open. Opening sixty apertures in a month was basically opening two apertures a day.
He couldn't compare, couldn't compare …
Lu Ye more or less knew how Hua Ci cultivated during this time. She didn't stay in the wooden house most of the time because of the isolation of the Spirit Array, there was no poisonous fog in the wooden house.
However, Lu Ye didn't expect that Hua Ci's cultivation method, which was against the norm, would increase her cultivation so quickly.
Right now, they were both Heaven Seven cultivators. At this rate, Hua Ci's cultivation would surpass his sooner or later.
Lu Ye felt an inexplicable sense of urgency!
Ju Jia had reached the Cloud River Realm earlier than him because he had accumulated enough and had a unique Monster Core. He had the capital to reach the Cloud River Realm long ago.
If Hua Ci reached the Cloud River Realm earlier than him one day …
However, from another perspective, this might not be a bad thing for Hua Ci. The sense of urgency immediately disappeared.
Days passed, and Lu Ye still maintained the speed of opening one aperture a day.
More than a month passed.
With a cracking sound, the barrier of the Spirit Apertures shattered and trickles of Spirit Qi flowed into the newly opened Spirit Apertures.
Three hundred apertures!
After being trapped in the Myriad Poison Forest for about two months, Lu Ye had forcefully opened his Spirit Apertures from 240 to 300.
Now that the number of Spirit Apertures was sufficient, the next step was to increase his cultivation.
He urged his spiritual power to run through the sixty orifices that did not fit his body shape, forming a new small cycle. When the spiritual power could circulate continuously in this small system without the need for the leaves to sway, waves of air swept across, forming the Eight Heavens.
Lu Ye sat down for another day, consolidating his cultivation base, and making sure that there were no problems with the new minor circulation system, he stood up.
He walked out of the wooden house and went to the courtyard outside to get busy. He set down the array flags one by one and constructed the framework of an array formation.
Yiyi watched curiously from the side. "Lu Ye, what kind of array formation are you setting up?"
"A fun formation." Lu Ye casually replied. It wasn't that he wanted to hide anything. It was just that this was his first time setting up this kind of array and he didn't know if it would work. If it didn't work and he boasted in front of Yiyi in advance, wouldn't he lose face?
Once the framework of the formation was formed, Lu Ye once again used his spiritual power to enrich the internal structure of the formation. After some work, he finally managed to construct the core of the formation.
The core was the more than three thousand Yin-Yang Spirit Runes that he had spent a lot of time and effort to learn from the books.
These days, he had been practicing this spirit rune every day. Although there was still a chance of failure, the success rate had increased greatly.
This time, his luck was better, and he was able to complete it in one go.
After following Lu Ye for so long, Yiyi had some understanding of spirit runes. Looking at the core of the formation, she couldn't help but be speechless. "Lu Ye, this spirit rune is so complicated. What kind of spirit rune is this?"
"Void!"
"Void?"
"Yes, this spirit rune's name is Void!"
This was a spirit rune related to space. Different ways of using it would produce different effects. If it was used as the core of a formation and set up with special means, it would become the famous teleportation formation!
There were teleportation formations in the Nine Provinces, but there weren't many of them. This was because it was very convenient for cultivators to travel between the Nine Provinces, and they could borrow the Tianji Pillar of the Alliance Sect.
The Tianji Pillar itself had the effect of teleportation, so unless it was necessary, no one would waste time and effort to set up a teleportation formation.
Moreover, teleportation formations needed to be maintained frequently, and it was far less convenient than using the Tianji Pillar. The Tianji Pillar was a gift from the heavens, and it was very difficult to damage it.
The teleportation formation that Lu Ye had set up was very crude because it was built with the formation flags as the framework and his own spirit energy. In order to maintain the formation's operation, Lu Ye had made some slight changes to the teleportation formation so that it could gather the surrounding spirit energy and maintain it for a long time.
With his current attainments in the Dao of Formations, he could already do this.
In fact, if he had a formation disk, it would be the best choice. With the help of a formation disk, the formation would be more stable. In this aspect, formation flags were much worse than formation disks, but using formation flags to set up a formation would be more flexible. With the 32 basic formation flags in hand, Lu Ye could set up all the formations that he had mastered.
Formation disks were different. Each formation disk only corresponded to one or a few types of formations, and its variability couldn't be compared to formation flags.
The formation in front of him had been set up, but Lu Ye was not sure whether it would be effective or not.
However, he had to take the first step in everything. Now that he had the cultivation level of Heaven Eight, he had the capital to kill his way out of the Forest of a Thousand Poisons, but what would happen after that? He would still be surrounded and intercepted by tens of thousands of Devil Ridge cultivators. Even if he hid in the encampment of a sect in the core circle, it would only bring disaster and trouble to others.
It could be said that the Devil Ridge's fear of him made it difficult for him to have a foothold in the core circle.
The Forest of a Thousand Poisons was a good place, as it was a forbidden zone for cultivators. No matter how many people the Devil Ridge had, as long as he hid in the Forest of a Thousand Poisons, no one would be able to find trouble with him. Hua Ci would teach him a lesson if he dared to come in.
Therefore, before he killed his way out, he had to leave a way out for himself and ensure that he could return here at any time.
This was also the plan that he had come up with after seeing the void spirit inscriptions.
The teleportation array was his escape route, and the Forest of a Thousand Poisons was his refuge. Compared to the encampments of those sects, the Spirit Qi here was indeed much worse. However, as long as he had enough Spirit Pills, he did not have to worry about cultivation at all. It was just that the efficiency was a little lower.
Other people relied on swallowing the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth to cultivate and had extremely high requirements for the environment. However, he was different …
After checking the teleportation array a little, he confirmed that there were no problems.
"Stay here and watch."
Lu Ye instructed Yiyi before leaving this place and entering the Forest of a Thousand Poisons.
There were several types of teleportation arrays. One was random teleportation. After the array was activated, it would randomly teleport people to a nearby location.
There was also directional teleportation. Directional teleportation was divided into single-point-to-single-point teleportation, single-point-to-multi-point teleportation, and multi-point-to-multi-point teleportation …
Simply put, single-point-to-single-point teleportation was when two teleportation arrays were connected to each other and teleported.
Single-point-to-multi-point teleportation was when a mother teleportation array was connected to multiple child arrays. Child arrays could be teleported to and from the mother array, but not between child arrays.
Multi-point-to-multi-point teleportation arrays were both child arrays and mother arrays.
Different types of teleportation arrays were set up differently and required various considerations.
Right now, Lu Ye was setting up a single-point-to-single-point teleportation array. The one in the small courtyard outside the wooden house was the mother array.
He still needed to go somewhere else to set up a child array before he could test whether this teleportation array was useful.
As night fell, Hua Ci returned from her nearby cultivation. Seeing Yiyi squatting in the courtyard with Hu Po beside her, she could not help but be curious. "What are you doing here?"
"Lu Ye set up an array and asked me to watch it for him," Yiyi replied truthfully.
"Where is he?"
"I don't know."
A moment later, Hua Ci and Yiyi squatted together in the courtyard and stared at the teleportation array in front of them.
"Yiyi, did he say what this array is for?"
"No."
"So secretive."
At the same time, in an open space twenty miles away, Lu Ye stepped on the newly set up child teleportation array and activated the array beneath his feet with his spirit energy. In an instant, through the circulation of the array, he vaguely felt that there was something in the direction of the wooden house that was resonating with the array beneath his feet.
It was very successful!
The two teleportation arrays resonated, which meant that there was no problem with the array he had set up. Next, it would depend on whether he could teleport over.
As he continued to channel his spirit energy into the array beneath his feet, the space around Lu Ye suddenly began to distort. An indescribable force wrapped around him, giving him the illusion that he had stepped on air and fallen into a bottomless abyss.
That feeling came and went quickly. By the time he came back to his senses, he had already appeared in another location.
At the same time, outside the wooden house, Yiyi and Hua Ci, who were squatting beside the teleportation array, listened attentively. There seemed to be some strange sounds coming from not far away.
"What's that sound?" Yiyi asked curiously.
"Perhaps there's some poisonous creature passing by nearby?" Hua Ci tilted her head in response. This poisonous creature should not be small, otherwise, it would not have caused such a big commotion. It was probably a poisonous python. Hua Ci had seen many of these poisonous creatures in the Forest of a Thousand Poisons these days, and she had cooked most of them into soup.
"Why is this array broken?" Yiyi asked again.
Just now, there was some movement in the array in front of them, causing the space covered by the array to become extremely distorted. Immediately after, the spirit energy in the array became chaotic and it was completely damaged.
"Yiyi, did you hear someone shouting for help?" Hua Ci asked while listening attentively.
"Did I?"
"Listen carefully!"
Yiyi also listened attentively, and soon a strange expression appeared on her face, "It seems to be Lu Ye's voice?"
The two women looked at each other, quickly got up, and walked towards the source of the sound. A moment later, they saw a figure hanging from a big tree a few hundred feet away from the wooden house like a ragged sack.
"Lu Ye!" Yiyi was shocked and hurriedly flew forward and carried Lu Ye down. Looking around, Lu Ye's clothes were ragged and his body was covered in bloody wounds. Some of them were so deep that bones could be seen. His whole body was dyed red with blood.
