This formation protected the safety of the Great Master and his companions for countless years. It is so powerful that even the protective formation of the Wuliang Sect may not be stronger than it.
Due to the scarcity of spirit stones in the turbulent space, Mr. Da and his men had no other supplies except for killing the occasional cultivators they encountered.
After being modified by our great master, the "Yuanqi Taiqing Formation" can be driven not only by spirit stones, but also by mana.
Moreover, a method of driving meteorites called "Tianjin Stone" was finally developed.
After carefully reading the description of this stone in the jade slip, Li Yan actually found six pieces in the master's storage ring.
Each piece was the size of a washbasin, and after he tried to drive it, he found that to protect an area of about ten feet in radius, a "Heavenly Stone" the size of a fingernail was needed to last for an hour.
Finally, Li Yan also tried to break the opened "Yuanqi Taiqing Formation", but even with his current strength he was unable to do it, which made Li Yan so surprised that he almost jumped up.
Although the power of the "Great Dragon Elephant Formation" has been greatly enhanced after he re-refined it, it is still unable to withstand the direct attack of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
The appearance of the "Yuanqi Taiqing Formation" immediately made up for Li Yan's defensive shortcomings. How could he not be overjoyed
Li Yan didn't know that this formation was the protective formation of the "Yuanqi Sect" where the great master was. It was a famous ancient formation and its power could be imagined.
"So you plan to go to Fengshen Continent next?"
After the two of them finished talking about the essence and blood of the "Immortal Dark Phoenix", Zhao Min brought up the issue again.
“Maybe a year later, I will go to the sect’s Nascent Soul cultivators’ trial turbulent space to take a look. After all, I am not too familiar with turbulent space.
After we get familiar with each other, we can go together to find Sixth Senior Sister!"
Li Yan had already made plans for this in recent years. He looked at Zhao Min with a smile on his face.
"I won't be going to Fengshen Continent. You can go over there and see if you can bring Senior Sister Ying back. I haven't seen her for a long time!"
Zhao Min shook her head silently.
"Oh? You're not going over? After all, Fengshen Continent is a neighboring continent to us. Although it's dangerous, it won't be a big problem if we are careful.
Besides, I can also take you into that space, and I will still be the only one facing danger. Could it be that you and I became a Taoist couple but did not inform Sixth Senior Sister because you were afraid that she would be angry?"
Li Yan was somewhat surprised by Zhao Min's answer.
He had talked to Zhao Min about going to Fengshen Continent before, and Zhao Min had tacitly agreed to go with him. But why did she suddenly change her mind today
"My dear husband, you are overthinking. Since Senior Sister Ying and I came back from the small mountain village, we have known each other for a long time.
As for who of us will become your Taoist partner first, I don’t care. Besides, Senior Sister Ying and I grew up together, and I understand her character better. Once she makes up her mind, she will never look back!
The reason why I didn't go with them is that in the past two years, I have felt that the heavenly tribulation is getting closer and closer to me, and the bottleneck of cultivating the 'Heavenly Demon White Jade Plate' seems to be loosening! ! "
Having said this, she stopped explaining. After hearing this, Li Yan showed joy on his face.
“This is a great thing!”
Zhao Min is about to form a baby, which is different from Bai Rou's formation of a pill in the turbulent space. The dangers of the two are simply incomparable.
Li Yan couldn't guarantee that he could help Zhao Min survive the danger of forming the infant outside, so of course the safest place was inside the sect.
Zhao Min said that she felt a heavenly calamity was about to come, but she couldn't determine the time. It could be one year, two years, or even ten years.
Everything depends on chance. At a certain moment, Zhao Min will be blessed and will be able to overcome the calamity in an instant. Therefore, Li Yan cannot just wait, as that would be like urging Zhao Min invisibly and make her feel confused.
The reason why Zhao Min's bottleneck suddenly loosened was that her state of mind had changed greatly after she became close friends with Li Yan. Her heart knot was different from Li Yan's, and it was more caused by things in her childhood.
After they became Taoist couples, no matter how shy she was, she let go of her reserve and many things were slowly unraveled.
That night, knowing that Li Yan was about to leave, Zhao Min was cold and reluctant to accept him, her snow-white skin and icy bones wrapped around him, panting softly...
"White clouds rise from the distant mountains, and waves rise from the nearby water. The pretty girl hides her head shyly, and her eyes are blurred. She no longer sings proudly!!"
In the following year, apart from going to the turbulent space for trial, Li Yan no longer meditated and practiced, and he even stopped refining the remaining three drops of "Immortal Dark Phoenix" essence and blood.
Whenever he was free, he would spend time with Zhao Min. Although Zhao Min was still cold and arrogant, she and Li Yan were intimate every night. Li Yan also carefully caressed every inch of her snow-white skin...
A year later, with only a few people knowing, Li Yan, Zi Kun and Qian Ji flew away from the Wuliang Sect and headed towards the Beiming Sea in the far north.
But only Zhao Min knew the real reason why he went out, and Wei Chongran and the others only got the news that Li Yan was traveling.
Before Li Yan left, he went to Xiaozhu Peak to where the soul lamps were placed. The soul lamps of Lin Daqiao and Wen Xinliang were no longer there. This made Li Yan silent for a long time, as if he saw the figures of his two senior brothers again.
He came here because he was going on another long journey, and the soul lamp he placed here had problems. Due to the limitations of Pingtu's cultivation level back then, cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage could still find clues after careful examination of the soul lamp.
However, because Li Yan obviously entered the spatial barrier between the two worlds when he disappeared for the first time, when Gu Jiuqi saw the soul lamp with his own eyes, although he felt that something was wrong with the soul lamp, he did not dare to conclude whether it was because Li Yan was too far away and had problems with judgment.
After all, it is an extremely sophisticated magic from the upper realm of Pingtu, and it is not easy to see through, otherwise it would not have been favored by Pingtu.
Until Li Yan returned later, naturally no one would come here easily to explore his soul lamp.
This time, he got the "Forget Soul Gate" ritual method from Pingtu. He didn't want to be discovered by others one day and make Xiaozhufeng embarrassed.
Taking out the essence from the soul lamp, Li Yan added his own blood and essence this time and began to refine it quickly. After being reinforced, it was difficult for anyone in this world to tell the true from the false.
… …
The Wind God Continent is a land of rolling mountains, with primitive dense forests and thick banana bushes everywhere.
At this moment, many human figures appeared swaying on the top of the mountains or halfway up the mountains.
Tall and thick stone walls stand on the hillsides of these mountains, connecting the peaks together like an endless long city.
Outside the stone wall, there were rows of thick rolling logs on the slope, which were chained together in rows with huge chains.
The back half of the log was deeply embedded in the rocks and ground, while the front half was cut into sharp wooden spikes. Rows of them were raised high, pointing toward the sky, like giant wooden arrows ready to be fired.
On the north side of these mountains, there are still endless, lush forests and broad banana leaves.
However, among these green vegetation, some hanging buildings or corners of eaves can be seen from time to time.
If someone looked over from the air, they could see that they were some wild-style buildings. They stretched for thousands of miles in the mountains and spread to the north, giving people a sense of vitality.
But the opposite scene appeared on the south side of the endless Great Wall mountain. The originally lush and green forest had long since turned into a scorched earth, forming two completely different worlds.
The corpses of many huge monsters and humans lay across the hillside, with broken limbs and body parts scattered everywhere, and black and red blood gathered into puddles of blood.
Many dried corpses were swollen high under the scorching sun, and their bodies were crawling with maggots. The densely packed maggots crawled in and out of the black frames hanging diagonally outside the eyeballs.
Or they would wriggle in the wounds, thrusting their bodies into the rotting corpses, their white bodies surging like waves under the sunlight...
From time to time, a loud explosion would be heard from a corpse. This was because the corpse was exposed to the scorching sun, causing the gas to swell and explode into a bloody rain. Smelly juices of various colors rushed up to the sky like a blooming fountain. Maggots rolled in the air, and then fell again like raindrops along with the corpse and sticky juices, hitting the ground with a "crackling" sound...
Behind a huge stone wall halfway up the mountain, several figures hid in the shadow of the stone wall, avoiding the scorching sun while looking towards the south through the stone pile.
"Damn it, this is the seventh wave of attack today. They must be tired. It's time to take a break!"
A man with a white turban wrapped around his head withdrew his gaze from the parapet, exhaled heavily, and slid down to sit down against the stone wall.
He was about twenty years old, wearing a sleeveless shirt that revealed his strong and dark muscles, and shorts that only reached his knees, and a pair of bare feet that were as hard as iron.
He felt a tightness and nausea in his chest. When he looked down the hillside through the gap in the stone pile, he saw dozens of huge corpses of monsters lying there.
They were either firmly nailed into the stone by a huge wooden arrow, or hit by several huge wooden arrows at the same time, turning into a pile of blood and meat.
"Agen, you can't have such an idea. Those wind beasts are no dumber than you. Don't let your brains be destroyed by half a month of normal attacks. You won't even know what happened when you die!!"
At this moment, a shiny cigarette holder suddenly hit the sturdy man's head, and then an old voice sounded dissatisfied.
Agen felt pain on his head and turned around quickly.
"I say, Uncle Ya, don't hit people on the back of the head, that could kill them. How could I not know how cunning those wind beasts are? I just said that!"
Agen rubbed his head repeatedly with one hand, looked at the old man who was taking back the pipe and continuing to add tobacco into it with dissatisfaction, and said with a grin.
The old man was also wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts. His face was full of wrinkles and sweat was oozing out of his bronze skin due to the high temperature. Although he was thin, he looked as if he was cast in fine copper.
"You son of a bitch, you're not just talking. Why did you put the whistle of the Bone Breaker around your neck? It's killing people!"
The old man glanced at Agen, and the other seven people also looked at Agen at the same time and immediately agreed.
"Agen, if you don't want to be the vice-captain, just hand over the whistle..."
“I can do this!”
"Where are you all suitable? I think I am more suitable..."
Several people spoke up amid the noise.
"Get out of here, Uncle Ya is talking about me, when will it be your turn?"
Agen immediately widened his eyes and waved his hands repeatedly as if to drive away flies.
He was really a little lax just now. The whistle hanging around his neck could emit a sound wave, driving rows of huge "bone-breaking cones" on the slope outside the stone wall to be fired out.
They are responsible for the activation and deployment of at least five rows of "Bone Breakers", which are the most lethal weapons against ordinary "Wind Beasts".
Normally, he would put the whistle around his neck in his mouth as soon as possible, but just now he swung the rope tied to the whistle behind his neck in order to observe the results of the battle.
In fact, this was because he believed in his heart that the "wind beast" would not attack immediately again, so he took such action.
"Each group of you should send out two people and bring the tribesmen back quickly."
At this moment, a clear and cold voice came from the higher mountains behind. Although the mountains were far apart, the voice was unusually clear.
Under the scorching sun, it was like an ice arrow piercing through the world.
"Juezi, Maoyi, the two of you go out and bring back the tribesmen within a hundred feet ahead!
The rest of you, be on guard, be on guard!! Be ready to attack at any time, and bring them back as soon as possible!"
Agen immediately put the whistle in his mouth and spoke to the two young men beside him.
In an instant, the people who had been noisy just now calmed down and quickly returned to their seats.
The two young men looked at each other, supported themselves with their hands on the wall, and then jumped out of the stone wall.
At the same time, human figures kept appearing from behind the long and horizontal stone wall, and rushed down the hillside in front.
Their mission is to bring back their dead and injured compatriots. Unless those tribesmen died fighting too far away with the "wind beast", they will try their best to bring them back.
We can't let their bodies be left exposed in the wilderness. This will also provide an explanation to their families. At the same time, it might be us lying underneath next time. Everyone wants his soul to return to his hometown and be buried in peace.
However, they could only do their best. Every time the two sides attacked, almost half of the tribesmen who charged out would never come back.
Not many of them could leave their bodies behind, as most of the fallen tribesmen would be eaten or torn into pieces by wind beasts in an instant, leaving no trace of their bodies.
On a high peak, a figure was standing on a stone wall. She had short hair and was wearing a black tights that exaggeratedly showed off her exquisite curves.
One can even vaguely see the vertical muscle lines under her clothes. She gives people the feeling of a nimble female leopard waiting for an opportunity to bite people.
She had a green halberd slung diagonally behind her. Although the midday sun was blindingly hot, she exuded a chilling murderous intent.
She was none other than Gong Chenying, whose cultivation had now reached the late stage of the Golden Core.
Although her cultivation level had been continuously improved due to the long years of fighting, she had no time to practice in seclusion, and thus fell behind Li Wuyi and Zhao Min by one level.
However, Gong Chenying's Qiongqi Purgatory Technique has already reached the early fifth level. This is the result of long-term death grinding. Her combat power is already able to compete with some ordinary Nascent Souls.
"It's been six years. What happened that made the three tribes of 'wind beasts' join forces to launch a massive attack at all costs
Not only did they die in large numbers, the number of Tianli cultivators was also decreasing sharply, and now even ordinary members of the tribe without spiritual roots had to join the battle.
Dad and the others have not been able to find the cause, so this matter has not been solved specifically..."
Gong Chenying was lost in thought as she watched the figures below collecting the remains of the corpses. She no longer felt the heart-wrenching pain she had felt before.
Now she regards her own life as nothing. All the tribesmen who can fight are warriors, and their lives will eventually end on the battlefield.
Because the "wind beast" will never become extinct, they will have to continue fighting for their offspring from generation to generation.
This is how she is, and so are the other warriors in the tribe. So what if it hurts
In the end, it all comes down to who can kill more "wind beasts" in their lifetime and who can gain more living space for their people.
Gong Shanhe and another elder have been deep in the lair of the "Wind Beast" for two years, just to find out the cause. So far, not only has no news been sent back, but even the two of them have lost contact.
Today, the Li tribe is defended by four elders and Gong Chenying. However, the fifth elder had a fierce battle with a fourth-order wind beast that broke through the city wall half a year ago. He was seriously injured and almost died on the spot. He also went into seclusion.
Gong Chenying became more and more worried about the current situation.
In the past two years, the "Wind Beasts" have been attacking more recklessly, as if they wanted to consume all the low- and middle-level "Wind Beasts" of the three tribes here.
This also meant that the Tianli tribe was heading towards the point where their lamp oil was running out.
