Zhang Yu looked at the towering platform and knew that he had found the right place.
Previously, he did not fly in a random direction. There were only a few realms on Earth Star that could be used as the array pivot.
However, it was not necessarily a good thing to find it so easily. This meant that the other party did not deliberately hide it. There was definitely something else unusual about this array pivot.
As he got closer, he could clearly see the full appearance of this array pivot. Its shape was like an inverted funnel with wide edges that gradually converged toward the top. Its entire body was the color of white jade, and it looked extremely heavy and sturdy.
Around the large jade platform floated clusters of seven-colored cloud vortexes that spiraled upward. The array power here was also abnormally dense, far surpassing that of other realms.
However, he was not the first to arrive. He saw that there were many cultivators and armored soldiers floating in the distance.
This was normal. The army that attacked Earth Star this time was launched from different directions, and several of them were rushing toward the possible location of the array pivot.
He glanced around and saw that there were only four people at the same level as him. However, only one of them was Xuanxiu, and the rest were True Cultivators.
At this moment, these people were gathered in one place, and it looked like they were discussing how to rush in.
That Xuanxiu sensed his arrival, and his eyes lit up. He greeted him and said, "I am Jie An. Greetings, Fellow Daoist."
Zhang Yu returned the greeting and also reported his name.
Although he did not hide his identity as the Xuanting Patrol Inspector, at present, only the Military Affairs Department, the Golden Pupil Department, and a few people in the upper echelons knew about it.
These people naturally would not go around announcing it. At most, they would just remind their subordinates that there was such a person.
However, when those True Cultivators heard his name, they could not help but turn around to look at him, revealing a serious expression.
This was not because they knew his true identity, but because he had defeated Nie Yin at the Zhen Xuan Law Discussion Conference, which made him have a certain reputation among the True Cultivators.
One of the Daoists floated over and bowed to him. "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Zhang. I'm Ni Yi, and I've heard Fellow Daoist Nie mention you before."
True Cultivators generally didn't care much about Xuanxiu, because most Xuanxiu couldn't be compared with True Cultivators. However, they wouldn't look down on Xuanxiu who had real strength, such as Zhang Yu or Xuan Zun's disciples. Solemnly, they would treat them with respect when they met them.
Ni Yi invited Zhang Yu over and introduced the fellow Daoists around him. Then, he pointed at the swirling fog surrounding the large platform and said, "This thing can be seen through at a glance. There aren't many changes, but we've tried a few times before. We haven't been able to break through, and many of our fellow Daoists have died or been injured."
Jie An also said regretfully, "Previously, there was a Military Officer Zhao. He tried to break through with a hundred people in a battle formation, but he didn't succeed. In the end, all of them were trapped inside, and not even their bones were left. What a pity."
Ni Yi said, "I think it's because we're too weak now. We can only try to break through again when more fellow Daoists arrive. I've already sent people to find more fellow Daoists to come here."
Zhang Yu also expressed his agreement. The formation's pivot was displayed so openly in front of them, so the arrangement was definitely not simple. They should be more cautious, and one more person would mean one more portion of strength.
He chatted with Jie An for a while longer, then went to the side alone. His eyes flickered slightly, and he tried to observe the swirling fog.
However, when he looked down, his heart trembled slightly.
Although the seven-colored fog had a delaying effect, this wasn't the main point. Instead, there was an extremely small wisp of fog inside, which seemed to contain power that surpassed his level.
If he had not come into contact with a few Xuan Zun cultivators and experienced the power head-on, he might not have been able to recognize it at first glance.
If one did not know beforehand and accidentally entered the formation, one would probably lose one's life right away if one was careless. It was no wonder that the people who tried to break through the formation earlier did not return.
If one wanted to enter the formation smoothly, one must avoid the wisp of Qi momentum.
Just as Ni Yi was thinking, he suddenly sensed something. When he turned to look, he saw dozens of cultivators and hundreds of armored soldiers flying in their direction. The one at the front was Yu Xuanzun's eldest disciple, Liang Yi, whom he had met before.
Liang Yi also spotted Zhang Yu at first glance. He informed the people behind him, then he took the initiative to greet him. He was very cautious, so he did not reveal Zhang Yu's identity in front of everyone. He only said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, we meet again."
Zhang Yu returned the greeting and said, "Liang Daoyou greets you." He glanced at Yu Ruiqing, who was not far away, and said, "Fellow Daoist Yu, you're also here."
Yu Ruiqing raised her hand in greeting and said with a smile, "It's been a long time since we last met."
Liang Yi looked up and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, since you arrived first, do you know the situation here?"
Zhang Yu said, "When I was inspecting just now, I noticed something strange about a wisp of Qi momentum. It seems to be an upper realm technique. Liang Daoyou is Xuan Zun's disciple, so you might as well take another look."
"Oh?"
When Liang Yi heard what he said, his expression turned cold. He walked forward and stared for a moment, then finally said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, you're right. There is indeed Xuan Zun's work here."
When the rest of the cultivators heard what he said, they looked at each other in shock and bewilderment.
If it was an ordinary method, they could still try to break through. However, if a Mystic Venerable One was placing a piece here, then no matter how hard they tried, it would be useless. This was because the difference in power level was not something that could be made up for by chance or numbers.
At this moment, a cultivator pointed up and said, "Fellow Daoists, look!"
Everyone raised their heads and looked up. They saw streams of light rising from the bottom of the platform and converging at the top of the platform. The light there became exceptionally bright.
Liang Yi took a few glances, and his expression became even more solemn. He said, "That's the convergence of Qi essence. It seems that the person on the platform is already preparing to use it to break through."
Everyone was shocked.
Liang Yi turned around and said, "Everyone, we can't wait any longer."
Ni Yi said, "But Liang Daoyou, since Xuan Zun is up there, we can't break through. What can we do?"
Liang Yi shook his head and said, "No, there's still a way to go inside. From what I see, this isn't an unbreakable barrier. Although Xuan Zun has set up an obstacle, it doesn't completely cut off the opportunity to enter and exit. "
Zhang Yu nodded slightly. The movement that appeared in the center of the formation just now should be deliberately shown to them. The purpose was to force them to break in and contribute more Qi essence.
However, if the formation was completely sealed, then no one would be willing to go forward, and the goal of harvesting human treasures would not be achieved.
Liang Yi looked at Zhang Yu and said sincerely, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, time is running out. It seems that we can't wait for more Fellow Daoists to arrive. I think we should immediately rush into the inner room and stop the person inside from achieving Dao!"
Zhang Yu thought for a while and nodded, "That's fine."
In fact, even if they waited any longer, there might not be more people coming. This was because from the situation inside the big platform, there was an endless stream of Qi essence gathering.
And where did this Qi essence come from?
It was either the insects and Deities that originally existed here, or the Daoist cultivators and armored soldiers who rushed in and lost their lives.
It could be said that there were people being sacrificed every minute and every moment, and the enemy's strength was growing. They really couldn't wait any longer.
No matter how dangerous the path ahead was, they had to give it a try.
At this moment, Yu Ruiqing said, "I'm willing to go with you two. I'm already enjoying the benefits of the Military Department, so how can I be afraid to go forward? Even if I can share some of the burden with you two, it's good. "
Jie An thought for a while and said firmly, "I'm willing too!"
Ni Yi and the other True Cultivators talked for a while, then said slowly, "There's no way out now. I've discussed with the other Daoists, and there seems to be other arrangements inside. It's not easy for one or two people to pass through. Therefore, I'm willing to charge into the formation with you guys. Whether we live or die is up to fate."
And when they decided to charge into the formation, the armored soldiers listened to them and silently lined up there, gathering the remaining people together.
After everyone made some preparations, Zhang Yu and Liang Yi took the lead and jumped into the big platform, and the others followed closely behind them.
The armored soldiers didn't hesitate for a moment. Their spiritual light combined to form a light curtain, and they crashed into the front!
As soon as Zhang Yu entered the seven-colored fog, he felt that his body was obstructed, and his speed slowed down a lot. However, this wasn't a big problem for him, and he could get rid of it with a little effort. He had been paying attention to that strange Qi.
At this moment, he saw that after they broke in, the wisp of Qi suddenly separated. One went straight to Liang Yi, and the other went straight to him.
This wasn't strange. The existence of this wisp of Qi was to absorb the essence. Whoever had the highest spiritual power and the brightest heart would be the easiest to target.
Previously, he had thought of ways to avoid it. However, when he faced this power head-on, he realized that no matter what he thought, it was useless. This wisp of Qi was clearly still far away, but in the next moment, it appeared on his body without any delay.
At the same time, the talisman given to him by Xuan Zun also burned on its own and released a soft light, isolating the Qi outside.
It was just that this talisman burned very fast, and it looked like it would be extinguished in a few breaths.
He raised his head and observed everyone. He discovered that they were obstructed by the seven-colored swirling fog and had yet to completely break through. If he were to rush out first, the aura would turn around and look for others. Then, most of them would probably die here.
He thought for a moment, and his figure slowed down for a moment.
With a sizzling sound, the talisman was completely burned.
At this time, a thin layer of mercury-like water flow appeared on his body. The wisp of Qi entangled with him, but it couldn't break through. It just hit the silver light on the surface and flowed endlessly.
With this delay, the figures of everyone had disappeared. Obviously, they had rushed out. At this time, he didn't delay any longer. He broke free from the shackles and rushed forward!
At this moment, he only felt that he seemed to have broken through some kind of obstacle, and his body suddenly became light. Whether it was the strange Qi or the seven-colored vortex, they all dissipated. When he looked up, he had landed on the array pivot platform!
