As the formation unfolded, Gu Xiuyun seemed to be trapped in a wasteland.
The earth cracked, flames steamed up, and clusters of sparks flew across the body, flying like sharp arrows, leaving behind a harsh sound of breaking through the air.
Gu Xiuyun was doing two things at once, staring at the formation diagram and activating the Black Armor of the Spirit Turtle to deduce the changes. At the same time, the spiritual power around him was filled with waves, endlessly changing into curtains of light. , resisting the lingering power of the flames.
Gu Xiuyun has never practiced the secret technique of spiritual armor. His physical body alone cannot withstand the Lihuo in the formation. This is the spiritual flame. Even a monster that is good at body refining will be touched by the sparks. It would also require burning large pieces of flesh, let alone a human cultivator?
The human race majors in the spiritual pulse realm, while the monster beasts major in the physical body. When the pulse realm is washed, there is not much difference between the two races, and the physical body is quite tough.
After entering the realm of opening pulses, as their cultivation becomes deeper and deeper, the physical gap between them also becomes wider and wider.
A third-level celestial monster in the Kai Pulse Realm can collapse a small mountain with its physical body alone. Its strength is as high as one million kilograms, while the human body cannot even weigh thirty thousand kilograms.
Not even monsters can resist being burned by Lihuo, let alone humans?
Human cultivators are not good at physical combat.
Gu Xiuyun's body shape is like the wind, constantly changing within the formation, almost flying several feet with every breath, and there are always flames flying around his body, and flaming arrows streak through the void, leaving behind A rainbow of light.
"Li Huoran's original formation has two attack methods, one is the flame arrows, and the other is the heat wave that permeates the formation. The flame arrows are extremely lethal, but the number is very small, and only the speed is It is extremely fast, so it seems to be all over the void. According to my deduction method, it is not difficult to avoid the flaming arrows. The real threat is the terrifying heat in the formation."
Gu Xiuyun looked calm in the formation. When walking inside, almost every step is taken in the safest direction.
With the formation diagram demonstrated in front of him, every step of the Lihuo Formation was already in his mind. Gu Xiuyun even knew exactly how many steps he had to take next to pass through the Lihuo Formation.
Gu Xiuyun understood that Lihuo Formation no longer posed a threat to him, but even so, he still had to expend 30% of his spiritual power to resist the ubiquitous high temperature heat wave.
"If I could master a secret defense method, why would I have to spend 30% of my spiritual power to withstand the high temperature? Unfortunately, apart from the Secret Technique Hall, only the mountain masters of the Wuhen Sect can teach the secret techniques of Wuhen Sect. , I can’t learn even if I want to.” Gu Xiuyun shook his head and sighed.
For human practitioners, 90% of their combat power lies in the secrets of immortality and spiritual weapons. Without relying on these two, spiritual power alone will not be able to exert even 10% of their strength.
After all, the human race is not like the monsters. The monsters are physically strong. With their brute force and magical powers, they can have overwhelming power. Whether they have secret methods or not, it makes little difference to them.
After a long time, the Lihuo Formation returned to calm, and Gu Xiuyun stepped out of the forbidden platform and climbed to the third floor.
The third floor is a Gengjin Formation.
The formation was filled with sword light, and the silver sword light fell like a drizzle, leaving almost no room to hide. "As expected, the difficulty of the third level has increased a lot. If this Gengjin Formation is used to its extreme, it is enough to kill the first-level celestial beast." Gu Xiuyun's heart sank slightly, "According to this situation, the further you go, the more difficult the formation will be. The higher the difficulty, if I don't use the secret method of immortality, I may stop at the first ten levels."
After entering three forbidden formations in a row, Gu Xiuyun has already calculated the power of the formation behind. He understands. I underestimated the Forbidden Mountain.
I thought that with the help of Tianji deduction, the first twenty levels would not be a problem, but just the second level caused him to lose 30% of his spiritual power. The third level of the Gengjin Formation made Gu Xiuyun even more embarrassed. There wasn't even any room for rest.
It can be seen that the formation on the Forbidden Mountain is not simple.
In fact, that’s right. Those Wuhen Sect disciples have not been immersed in the formation method for decades. No matter how talented they are, after decades of hard training, their understanding of the formation method is far better than that of Gu Xiuyun. , coupled with his cultivation in the Pulse Opening Realm, he was able to break through more than a dozen levels of array restrictions.
Gu Xiuyun has only practiced the formation for ten days, so how can he compare with the decades of enlightenment practiced by disciples of the Wuhen Sect.
The reason why he was able to easily break through the Wu Tu Formation and the Lihuo Formation was not because Gu Xiuyun was highly talented in the formations, but because he used celestial means to deduce the formation diagrams and understood the changes in the formations in advance. This was cheating. It's not really a realization of the formation path at all.
If the heavenly secret deduction were stopped, Gu Xiuyun's level in the formation would probably not be as good as Fu Lan's.
Even if there is a divine deduction, the subsequent formations are too difficult, and Gu Xiuyun must use the secret method of immortality to successfully get through.
It is absolutely impossible to rely on spiritual power alone.
"Am I going to give in?" Gu Xiuyun's heart sank slightly.
He has deduced that even if he uses his methods to the extreme, he can only stop at the tenth level. After that, if he does not use the secret method of immortality, there is no hope.
However, several of the secret techniques he practiced have no inheritance in the Wuhen Sect. Once used, they will attract the attention of the Wuhen Sect’s senior officials.
Those immortal secrets are not his Six Deduction Techniques.
The Six Jue of Deduction has no roots or origins. Even if others ask, Gu Xiuyun can deduce that it is a secret book that he obtained accidentally.
Lichen Escape and Light Refining Finger were both passed down from the Weak Water Sect, and there are traces to follow. A disciple of the Wuhen Sect does not use the secret techniques of this sect, but practices the secret techniques of the Weak Water Sect. , too suspicious.
"Looking at the current situation, there is no hope of breaking into the fourteenth floor before the sermon at the beginning of the month." Gu Xiuyun looked calm, "In this case, we have to find a way to delay the time."
Time passes.
Soon, the Gengjin Formation was also broken through, and Gu Xiuyun stepped onto the fourth floor.
Taoist Mingfang stood on the fifteenth level of the forbidden platform and did not move forward. He had already tried to break through to the sixteenth level, but he could not even survive half a stick of incense. It can be seen that the gap is quite large. big.
Taoist Mingfang knows very well that this isBecause he has only cultivated one intermediate secret technique to Dacheng, if he can master three intermediate methods at the same time, and practice them all to Dacheng, there is hope for him to break through the first twenty levels.
"Hmph, even if it's only fifteen levels, it's enough to win the spirit bag." Looking at Gu Xiuyun who slowly walked into the fourth level of the forbidden platform, Taoist Mingfang smiled at the corners of his mouth, " The first ten levels are so slow, which shows that this person has no cultivation, and his attainments in secret arts are far inferior to mine."
Gu Xiuyun and Taoist Mingfang were not in a hurry, but the disciples below were. Waiting a little anxiously.
Gu Xiuyun's speed through the formation was extremely slow. It took him half an hour to pass through the first level. If he continued at this rate, he would not be able to complete the formation's forbidden mountain even if it got dark.
Two hours have passed, and most of the disciples watching have left, leaving only a few people still watching.
"Senior Brother Mingji, have we been waiting here?" The disciple behind Taoist Mingji asked, "The homework assigned by Master has not been completed today!"
"Wait for another hour." Master Mingji frowned slightly. It was indeed not worth wasting his time here just to be sulky.
But this matter was caused by Master Mingji. If he were to leave, Junior Brother Mingfang’s face would not look good.
Several fellow disciples looked at each other helplessly, sat down cross-legged, closed their eyes and began to practice.
Another hour passed, and Gu Xiuyun finally broke through the fifth-level forbidden platform. He stumbled out of the platform and was about to continue climbing when he heard a cold shout coming from below.
"Stop!"
Gu Xiuyun turned around and saw that it was Taoist Mingji.
"Senior brother, what advice do you have?" Gu Xiuyun asked.
"I'm not talking about advice. I just want to persuade you to admit defeat. This matter is also a battle of wills. Your defeat is already determined, so why bother struggling?" Taoist Mingji said coldly.
"Oh, the defeat has been decided?" Gu Xiuyun smiled lightly, "I think we are evenly matched. The winner is not decided, so how can we admit defeat?"
"We all still have things to do. , we can't wait here forever, let's watch you slowly break into the formation!" Taoist Mingji's fellow disciples shouted, "Besides, tomorrow is the beginning of the month, and the mountain masters of all peaks are going to preach, and we have to rush back to listen to the sermon." /p>
"I will never admit defeat anyway. Why don't you persuade that Taoist to admit defeat and let me win the bet and then let it go." Gu Xiuyun said with a smile.
Taoist Mingji looked to the other side.
"Senior Brother Mingji, the spirit bag is quite precious, I can't give it up." Taoist Mingfang shook his head.
If it were an ordinary treasure, it would be okay to admit defeat, but the spirit bag is extremely rare. If you miss it, the next time you want to get this thing, you won't know how long it will be in the Year of the Monkey.
Looking at the unyielding people on both sides, Taoist Mingji frowned, and even felt a little regretful in his heart. If he had known this, why bother to trouble Gu Xiuyun just for the sake of his own mood?
He himself also knew that Gu Xiuyun was not the disciple who secretly scolded him as an afterthought, but he could not admit it because of his face.
"Since Dao Brother Mingfang is unwilling to admit defeat, it is better for me to continue to fight. However, the further back I go, the more powerful the formation will be, and the longer it will take me. In addition to healing and restoring spiritual power, It will take about four or five days," Gu Xiuyun said with a smile.
