After a while, a ray of golden light floated out from Old Daoist Lin's body. His origin soul came out and pointed at himself. After a flash of light, the hole between his eyebrows gradually closed. Even the golden blood he spat out returned to his body.
After his origin soul returned to his body, he sat up expressionlessly.
Using the ancestral master's shadow transformation to observe and comprehend had its dangers. This was because the mind was attached to the ancestral master's shadow, and the body would deduce the dao along with the ancestral master. Once it involved something one couldn't understand, it would be easy to reverse the flow and cause one's body to collapse.
This was because the process could not be stopped. After noticing this, as a cultivator who had cultivated for a long time, he naturally had to be on guard.
Many years ago, he had placed a technique on his body. Once the flow of qi reversed and he could not stop, the technique would deal with it on its own. It would impact his mind and break the connection.
Because it was not an attack from an external enemy, no matter how injured a cultivator was, it would not cut off their vitality or damage their origin soul. As a result, their injuries could be healed in an instant.
However, before this, he had never encountered something like this. This impact caused him to become a bit dispirited.
He took out a pill and swallowed it. After adjusting his breathing for a while, his mind recovered a bit.
Even though he had severed his consciousness just now, it was not as if he did not gain anything from that hurried glance. He had also seen some useful things.
He discovered that the formation was actually constantly changing, and above that, there was an exquisite Dao Art mixed within. But now that he thought about it, he could only vaguely understand a part of it, and he couldn't understand anything further. Moreover, the more he thought about it, the more his mind felt sluggish, and he didn't continue.
However, just this part was enough to make him feel like he was looking up at a mountain. He was certain that the dao technique faintly pointed to a higher level of dao.
He then looked at the golden light on the patriarch's painting and thought to himself, "This formation is so mysterious. I'm afraid it's really a Dao technique brought by those celestial beings. Fortunately, no matter how brilliant the formation is, as long as it hasn't reached the unfathomable upper realm, it can still be broken."
This was especially true for King Xi. Not only could he gather a huge amount of manpower and material resources, but he also had many powerful subordinates. When these forces were gathered and used properly, there was nothing that couldn't be overthrown.
However, the most important thing was still that magical artifact …
Thinking of this, his eyes could not help but flicker.
King Xi didn't make him wait too long. Half a month later, he obtained the 'Double Truth Sect's' most treasured 'Jade Tablet' that he needed.
Before obtaining this item, he had originally thought that there would be many twists and turns. King Xi would either use this item as a threat to raise even harsher conditions for him or try to manipulate him further.
But in reality, King Xi had given this item to him in a very casual manner. He didn't even see his face before asking Senator Song to give it to him.
After receiving it, he felt very complicated. It could be seen that King Xi didn't care much about this item. This was actually the way of the world had changed. How could the Vast Race truly care about the things of cultivators?
In addition to self-deprecating, he was also slightly excited.
This item might be useless to others. Even if it was taken by a cultivator from another sect, the final result would be to put it on the shelf.
But in his hands, it was a completely different story.
This item was admittedly the most treasured item of the destroyed 'Double Truth Sect', but now, very few people knew that the sect he came from, the Rong You Sect, originated from the same sect as the Double Truth Sect. The two sects actually worshipped the same patriarch.
The reason for the split into two sects was very complicated. The seniors had kept it a secret, so he didn't delve into it. However, he learned from the old records of the Rong You Sect that before the sect split into two sects, they had attempted to establish a great formation that could allow one to reach the upper realm. At the same time, they had also refined a magical artifact to establish the formation.
Because this artifact was very difficult to refine, the predecessor of the Double Truth Sect was responsible for refining the 'Shifting Square Jade Tablet', while the predecessor of the Rong You Sect was responsible for refining the 'Foundation Origin Instrument'.
Although these two items were successfully refined, at the same time, the sect split into two sects. In the end, these two magic artifacts couldn't be combined. Thus, from the very beginning of this magic artifact's creation, it had never been complete.
He took the jade tablet back to his flying wadding and found a way to conceal his surroundings. Soon after, he took out the ring that he had previously used. This item was the 'Foundation Origin Instrument'.
He took a deep breath and first recited an incantation. Then, he carefully placed this item on the jade tablet. With a flicker of light, this item easily entered the jade tablet. When the light disappeared, he saw the imprint of an instrument on the jade tablet.
He reached out and picked up the jade tablet. When he sensed the wisps of spiritual energy coming from it, he couldn't help but feel excited.
With this item, if he waited for the great formation to be established, then his great plan could be completed!
Apart from relying on earth veins, great formations usually relied on magic artifacts.
However, there was a difference between the two. In the case of earth veins, the cultivator needed to go to the center of the formation to control the great formation. In the case of magic artifacts, the person controlling the magic artifact was controlling the great formation.
Now that he had this magic artifact, he only needed to rely on it to control the great formation. On the other hand, this magic artifact had the ability to absorb external forces and absorb them into itself.
In other words, after he finished constructing the great formation, he only needed to use the formation to absorb the restrictions of the Mian Lu City. Then, not only would he be able to solve the formation on the other side, he would also be able to obtain all of its power.
Not only that, but he could also trap King Xi's Hao Clan army inside the formation.
When he thought of this, a red light flashed through his eyes.
No one knew that he had long since cultivated a set of demonic methods. He could use the formation to seize the vitality of others for his own use. His plan was to first try to swallow the Mian Lu City. Regardless of whether he succeeded or not, when the time was right, he would take advantage of the situation and refine all of the Hao Clan's upper echelons in one fell swoop!
In this current world, if one didn't cultivate a demonic method, then they wouldn't be able to establish themselves in this world.
However, demonic methods could easily sway one's mind. The more one used such methods, the more twisted one's temperament would become. He had always been restraining himself from using this technique as little as possible, but now, there was no need for him to do so.
Back then, when King Xi led his army to exterminate the "Twin Truth Sect", it could be said that he was avenging the entire Twin Truth Sect. Moreover, he could clearly feel the malicious intent towards him. That was just as well. He could refine this person with a clear conscience.
After he made up his mind, he used several days to carefully refine the jade tablet. In the end, he put it away and rode a cloud back to the royal boat. He said to the guards here, "Please tell King Xi that this humble Daoist is ready. Ask him to quickly build the formation. Once the formation is completed, we will use it to attack the Mian Lu City!"
In the following days, King Xi's army completely gave up on attacking. They only focused on setting up a siege, as if they were going to besiege the city for a long time.
Zhu Zonghu was a little worried when he saw this. Although King Xi's army couldn't break in, the Mian Lu City had also cut off communication with the outside world. There was a lot of food stored in the city. It wouldn't be a problem to last for eight to ten years, but the supplies would eventually run out. When that time came, they would be trapped here until they died.
For this reason, he asked Zhang Yu and Yin Huanting for advice on how to deal with the situation.
Zhang Yu said, "Zonghu, don't worry. The Mian Lu City formation isn't something we can see now. It's just that it's not suitable to activate it now."
His doppelganger had been expanding the earth veins' formation mechanism, so it actually had the power to counterattack at this moment. However, if they tried to break it now, not only would the Hao Clan suffer great losses, but they would also use other methods to attack them. Therefore, they could wait for this generation to put in a lot of effort to set it up and then try to break it later.
Zhu Zonghu nodded and said, "It's good that Mister Tao is confident."
At this moment, Zhang Yu suddenly felt something. He turned to look in the direction of King Xi's army, and his eyes flickered slightly.
Zhu Zonghu said, "Mister Tao? What's wrong? "
Zhang Yu retracted his gaze and looked at him. "Zhu Zonghu, if King Xi suddenly dies here today, what will Zonghu do?"
Zhu Zonghu's heart trembled. He said, "King Xi, he … Mister Tao is saying …"
In his mind, King Xi had a large army and many powerful guards by his side. Nothing would happen to him.
However, he soon thought about it again. This uncle of his had been cursed for a long time, and this curse had never been removed. Later on, he sent people to summon Zhang Yu repeatedly. This meant that the curse was getting more and more serious, but it was hard to say how long he could last. He really didn't dare to think that something would happen to him.
Zhang Yu said, "Regardless of whether this will happen or not, Zhu Zonghu can make preparations first."
Just now, he had seen a change in King Xi's army. This change was not in King Xi's favor.
Logically speaking, calculating aura was a method that Zhong Weiwu, Chong Zhao, and the other court officials were good at. He himself wasn't good at it. However, he just had to sense this change.
He thought carefully. Just now, he felt that someone was spying on his formation mechanism. It was very likely that this matter had something to do with the Dao technique that he had revealed.
When Zhu Zonghu heard him say this, he couldn't help but think. He was King Xi's legitimate successor. If King Xi died, he would be righteous …
However, when he thought of this, he shook his head and sighed. He said, "Mian Lu is still too weak. Even if this granduncle of mine dies, the various clans and nobles will not submit to me. If the elders and King Lie take advantage of this situation to attack, the overall situation will not be good."
Yin Huating smiled and said, "Zonghu, I don't think that will be the case. Now, Lie King and the Council of Elders had joined forces to fight against King Xi. However, the two families were not on good terms, especially since the Council of Elders insisted on the Hao Clan's supremacy, while Lie King had the support of various factions. If King Xi died, how could these two families work together? They might even try to rope you in. Furthermore … "
He paused. Solemnly, he said, "Zonghu, don't forget that you are King Xi's son. If King Xi dies, then you can think of a way to take over the All Souls Institute, right?"
