In the cultivation world of the Nine Prefectures, there were many types of formation flags. There were a total of 108 types, which corresponded to the number of heavenly spirits and earthly fiends. Every formation required different formation flags, and the combination of different formation flags could often bring unexpected changes to the formation.
Therefore, brilliant formation cultivators had their own unique understanding and experience in the use of formation flags.
The same formation might have different power when set up by different formation cultivators. This was not only dependent on the formation cultivator's level of attainment, but also the choice of formation flags.
There were many ways to do this.
He had obtained thirty-two formation flags from the Hundred Formation Pagoda and thirty-two more this time. Altogether, he had a total of sixty-four flags.
Although it was not enough to complete a set, sixty-four formation flags were enough to deal with most situations. Moreover, Lu Ye usually did not use these special formation flags. He would either refine them himself or buy them from the Tianji Treasury. It would not be a pity even if they were damaged or lost.
After inspecting the thirty-two formation flags, Lu Ye carefully put them away. Then, he began to construct small spirit-gathering funnels. He cultivated while comprehending the enormous amount of formation information in his mind.
He had passed the thirty-third level of the Hundred Formation Pagoda. There was no more level. When the time limit for staying on this level was up, he would be sent out of the pagoda.
Vaguely, Lu Ye felt that he had forgotten something.
Normally, this would not have happened to him. However, his spirit was now full and he did not have the energy to think about other things. He had even forgotten to release Hu Po earlier.
It did not seem to be a particularly important matter … Lu Ye decided not to think too much about it.
Six hours passed in the blink of an eye. When the surrounding spirit qi suddenly dissipated, Lu Ye felt an enormous and irresistible repulsive force.
He had to leave.
He silently sensed his body's condition. Apart from the enormous pressure on his spirit, everything else was fine.
It could be said that he had gained a lot from the Hundred Formation Pagoda this time. It was several times more than what he had gained in the Sky Expanse Sect.
At the very least, he had not felt his spirit being full in the Sky Expanse Sect. This meant that the gift he had gained in the Hundred Formation Pagoda this time could not be compared to the previous time.
And this was under the premise that the power of his spirit was several times stronger than before.
Even though such gains had already allowed his attainments in the Dao of Formations to increase greatly, it still hadn't arrived at its limits. Once he digested and stabilized all the things in his mind one day, he wondered how much his attainments in the Dao of Formations would improve.
In addition, Yang Kai's cultivation had risen from the Fifth-Order to the Sixth-Order. Although it was only a small advancement, his strength had undoubtedly increased significantly.
As the repulsive force surged, the space around Lu Ye began to distort.
Instinctively, he put the amber back into his spirit beast pouch. Then, he activated his spirit energy to protect himself. He raised his hand and placed it on the hilt of the Pan Shan Saber at his waist …
He didn't know what he was guarding against, but he felt that it was the right thing to do.
In the next moment, his vision blurred and he appeared at the entrance of the Hundred Formation Pagoda.
The scene that entered his field of vision stunned Lu Ye, because as far as the eye could see, there was a sea of people.
Were there so many people outside the Hundred Formation Pagoda? He vaguely remembered that there were quite a few people here when he first arrived, but it wasn't to this extent.
The moment he appeared, countless pairs of eyes focused on him. All of them revealed astonished expressions.
Because the Hundred Formation Pagoda had been resonating these days, none of the Array Cultivators chose to challenge the pagoda. Those who had challenged the pagoda before had already come out.
Therefore, when they saw Lu Ye appear, the nearby Array Cultivators couldn't help but be stunned. No one knew when Lu Ye had entered or how he had come out of the Hundred Formation Pagoda at this time.
Among the countless pairs of astonished eyes, Lu Ye felt a few sharp gazes.
Looking up, he saw a few familiar faces.
Lu Ye came to a realization. He finally understood what he had forgotten and what he was guarding against.
Previously, when he was rushing to the safe passage of the Hundred Formation Pagoda, he had been attacked by two Myriad Demons Ridge cultivators. In the end, he killed one of them and the other was severely injured. He had opened the safe passage with a slash of his saber. He didn't know whether the other was dead or alive.
Such injuries were very serious, but for cultivators, they shouldn't be fatal in a short period of time.
Since the other party had recognized him and suffered such a huge loss, as long as he didn't die immediately, he would definitely send a message to the outside world and call for friends.
In that case, his whereabouts would be exposed.
In other places, he could hide and escape, but in the Hundred Formation Pagoda, there was only one exit. As long as he came out of the Hundred Formation Pagoda, he would definitely be blocked.
The pressure on his Soul made him forget about this for a moment, but his instincts were still there. Therefore, even if he forgot, before he was expelled from the Hundred Formation Pagoda, he still put the amber into his Spirit Beast Bag and assumed a defensive posture.
As many thoughts flashed through his mind, a sharp saber light had already spread out in his field of vision.
Xia Liang and Tan Sheng had been guarding the exit of the Hundred Formation Pagoda, so they noticed Lu Ye as soon as he appeared. Without any hesitation, Xia Liang drew his saber and slashed. The distance of several meters was covered in a flash. This slash was accompanied by an abnormal surge of Spirit Energy, fully displaying the might of a Ninth Order Cultivator.
At the same time, Tan Sheng also brandished his spear. The great spear seemed to come alive, like a dragon emerging from the sea, and stabbed towards Lu Ye with an unparalleled might.
A pincer attack from two Cloud River Realm Ninth Order Cultivators. At such a close distance, ordinary people wouldn't be able to react at all.
[Success!]
Xia Liang and Tan Sheng roared in their hearts at the same time. Their days of waiting here had not been in vain. They had actually managed to trap Lu Yiye here.
Just as they were thinking this, Lu Ye also drew his saber at the same time. As he drew his saber, his figure flickered to the side. Not only that, a solid defensive Spirit Rune appeared on the surface of his body.
With a cracking sound, the newly formed defensive rune was struck by the long spear. With the point of contact as the centre, cracks spread out in all directions, and the rune shattered with a bang.
The power of Tan Sheng's spear was evident.
However, in the instant the defensive rune was blocked, Lu Ye's body moved slightly to the side, and the long spear almost brushed past his armpit and pierced through his clothes. Lu Ye felt a burning pain on the skin beside his ribs.
It was conceivable that if the defensive rune hadn't blocked at the critical moment, this spear would have pierced through his chest. If that happened, even if he didn't die, he would be crippled.
Although he had brushed past death, Lu Ye's eyes were unprecedentedly clear. At this moment, the huge pressure on his Soul seemed to have been relieved.
The long saber in his hand blocked Xia Liang's slash.
The sharp saber light shattered with a bang, and sparks flew everywhere. Xia Liang's body shook slightly, and his brow furrowed.
The feeling of this saber strike made him realize that something was wrong.
This Lu Yi Ye was much stronger than he had imagined!
The last time he fought with Lu Ye was in Fox Immortal Valley. At that time, Lu Ye had asked him to teach him his Saber Technique. At that time, Xia Liang felt that Lu Ye was stronger than an ordinary Fourth-Order Cloud River Realm cultivator, but it wasn't that exaggerated.
But now, the strength that Lu Ye had shown was simply astonishing. This was because the other party had actually blocked his long-prepared saber strike head-on, and it was under the circumstances that he and Tan Sheng had joined forces.
What did this mean? This obviously meant that Lu Ye was qualified to fight him head-on.
In a life or death battle, Xia Liang didn't have time to think too much. His saber strike, which he had been so determined to kill, failed, so he took advantage of the situation to change his move. His long saber swept past Lu Ye's Mountain Saber and went for his neck.
At such a close distance, this saber strike could be described as extremely dangerous.
The Mountain Saber suddenly rose up, killing Xia Liang's intentions in advance.
But in the next moment, Lu Ye flew sideways as if he had been struck by lightning.
Tan Sheng's spear had failed to kill Lu Ye. When it pierced through Lu Ye's armpit, it shook a little.
With this shake, the long spear struck Lu Ye's ribs like a whip.
Lu Ye felt the blood and Qi in his abdomen tumble, and the pain in his ribs was unbearable. He could even hear the faint sound of bones breaking.
Fortunately, he borrowed the force of this blow to soar into the air and rush to the side.
Behind him was the Hundred Formation Pagoda, so there was no way out. In front of him was Tan Sheng and Xia Liang, so if he wanted to survive, he could only break through to the side.
Tan Sheng's spear strike had injured him, but it had also given him an opportunity to take advantage of it.
"Where do you think you're going?!" Xia Liang was furious. The sound of his saber rang out as he caught up with Lu Ye at an extremely fast speed and stabbed his saber straight at Lu Ye's back.
He was from the Wild Saber Sect and had cultivated for a long time. In terms of saber skills, he was much stronger than Lu Ye. The only thing he lacked compared to Lu Ye was experience in life and death battles.
This wasn't to say that he lacked experience in this area. At his level of cultivation, there was no cultivator who hadn't experienced a few life and death crises.
It was just that Lu Ye had a place like the mirage realm to train. Ever since he obtained the breath fruit core, he had died countless times in the mirage realm.
Xia Liang didn't have this kind of convenience.
Therefore, in the face of a life and death crisis, Lu Ye had experience that ordinary people couldn't compare to.
At this moment, the Heart's Eye Secret Technique played a crucial role. The aura of death followed behind him like a shadow. If it were any other cultivator, they would have turned around to block. However, Lu Ye didn't even look at it. The moment Xia Liang's saber was about to reach him, he activated a defensive spirit rune.
This defensive rune still couldn't block Xia Liang's saber and shattered the moment the tip of the saber pierced over.
The tip of the saber pierced three inches into Lu Ye's flesh, almost piercing his internal organs, but it was enough to exhaust the power of Xia Liang's saber.
A monstrous heat wave swept out. Somewhere in the crowd, two lifelike fire dragons shook their heads and swung their tails as they rushed towards Lu Ye. It was Chu Yun and Zhou Pei.
The two of them were Dharma Cultivators, so their reaction speed was slightly slower than Xia Liang and Tan Sheng's. It wasn't until Lu Ye fought with them that they used their Techniques.
But it was just the right time.
At this moment, Lu Ye was injured by Xia Liang and the defensive barrier behind him shattered.
The two Fire Dragons slammed into Lu Ye's back one after the other. Lu Ye was enveloped in a sea of flames. The huge impact caused him to spit out a mouthful of blood, which evaporated in the scorching heat.
Immediately after, under the gaze of countless people, Lu Ye's figure, wrapped in flames, broke through a layer of ripples and disappeared without a trace.
The situation was the same as when he sent the Sixth Order cultivator flying with his saber in the safety passage.
