After more than ten breaths, a residual shadow landed on the meteorite where the golden man fell.
At this moment, Li Yan, dressed in black, had no expression on his face, and was holding a "Libei Beast" that looked like a fox in his hand.
Although this meteorite beast is only level three, it is quite difficult to deal with because it is too fast.
If Li Yan was not also good at speed, and the "Libei Beast" might have been wandering around nearby after seeing that Shi Pozhu's Nascent Soul was unable to escape, it would have definitely escaped.
Even so, Li Yan took a lot of effort to capture him.
Think about it, for a Nascent Soul cultivator to deal with a Golden Core cultivator, it is almost as easy as blowing a breath, so why would it take so much effort? You can understand how difficult it is to deal with the "Libei Beast".
Li Yanxian threw the sealed "Libei Beast" at his feet.
With a cold look in his eyes, he formed his five fingers into claws and grabbed the unconscious Nascent Soul that had lost all its golden light and turned dark red. He instantly sucked Shi Pozhu's Nascent Soul into his hands.
Afterwards, Li Yan raised his other hand and pointed his sword-like finger at the Yuanying figurine's head, then lifted it up. Then, an almost invisible line of blood was pulled out from the top of the Yuanying figurine's head like a thread.
At this moment, the color of the blood line seemed to be brighter. When Li Yan waved his hand, the blood line sank into his fingertips and disappeared.
As the Nascent Soul was drawn out of his body along with the blood, his eyelids twitched slightly, but then returned to calm.
The next moment, Li Yan unceremoniously placed one hand on the head of the Nascent Soul man. He had no intention of asking any questions and directly used the soul-searching technique.
What's more, he couldn't cure the "infant poison", and Shi Pozhu didn't have much time left to live. Instead of waking Shi Pozhu up and asking him, it would be faster this way.
Shi Pozhu must have known that he was doomed to die, and he wouldn't say anything even if you asked.
Li Yan waved his other hand again, and a circle of restrictions appeared around him, covering the space of several feet around him.
As the faint light in Li Yan's palm began to flicker, a scream that was not like a human voice suddenly emanated from the mouth of the Nascent Soul.
His eyes suddenly opened wide, and he woke up from his coma in an instant with pain, and at the same time he understood what was happening to him.
"You...you...why are you...so...so...vicious, Yuanying...late...stage...ah!!!"
He could no longer utter the rest of the words, but these few words alone were filled with immense resentment towards Li Yan.
He would never have imagined that a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage would be so idle that he would have the leisure to play tricks on others.
Shouldn't they use their last moments to search hard for the node of ascension, or practice hard in seclusion to see if they can become gods in the lower realm
The shrill screams continued to be heard, but Li Yan turned a deaf ear to them.
After only six breaths, Shi Pozhu's screams became quieter and quieter. Li Yan frowned, with a hint of regret in his eyes.
A cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul has too many memories, and he has only just searched out some memories from the past few years. Shi Pozhu's Nascent Soul is already covered in blood, and his life is almost gone.
Li Yan didn't even have time to find out the true origin of "Shi Pozhu" or whether his name was true or false, as the soul in the Nascent Soul figure had already begun to dissipate rapidly.
"The baby poison is too strong. If it weren't for the 'Li Bei Beast' that delayed us, we would have been able to get more information.
We must find a way to remove... or alleviate the poison as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if we obtain the Yuanying of an enemy that has been poisoned, it will not be of much use in the end!"
Just as Li Yan felt a little regretful, the Nascent Soul of Shi Pozhu in his hand had turned into a terrifying "blood baby", like a skinned "blood baby", and the last trace of life completely disappeared from Li Yan's perception.
At this moment, Li Yan's face changed involuntarily, and he reached out to grab the "Libei Beast" under his feet with one hand. The aura of the sealed "Libei Beast" under his feet suddenly expanded rapidly.
Although Li Yan moved quickly, he still took action after sensing it.
"boom!"
Just when the magic power in his palm was about to touch the body of the "Libei Beast", a cloud of blood mist exploded under his feet.
Li Yan then flicked his sleeves and shook off the blood mist.
"Master and Servant Blood Contract!"
Li Yan looked at the blood mist that was dissipating and murmured.
From the moment this "Libei Beast" started attacking him, Li Yan guessed that it was a spiritual pet that Shi Pozhu had sacrificed.
But because he was anxious to use Shi Pozhu to search his soul, he overlooked the fact that the other party had signed a blood contract just like himself and Zi Kun.
Now the master is dead and the servant is dead. Li Yan has lost everything!
The combat power of the Falling Star Beast is really extraordinary. It took him more than ten breaths to capture it. In the end, not only did he not get the Falling Star Beast, but he also wasted time searching Shi Pozhu's soul.
Seeing that things had come to this, Li Yan's face turned a little pale. He exerted force with his five fingers, and a faint light flashed.
With a "puff" sound, Shi Pozhu's Nascent Soul completely disappeared from this world, without any trace left in the world.
Li Yan held Shi Pozhu's storage ring in his hand and then put it away. He had no time to check it at the moment.
The commotion just now was quite loud, and although it was short-lived, it may have caused unnecessary trouble.
Li Yan made a move in the air a thousand feet away, and the seven small flags turned into seven streaks of light and shot towards him, shrinking rapidly during the flight.
When it reached Li Yan, it turned into seven tiny black lights and flashed before disappearing into Li Yan's ring.
"I don't know how many people he has lured and killed using this method!"
Li Yan glanced at the pavilion halfway up the mountain. Shi Pozhu had planned everything so well that it was obviously not the first time he used this method.
"People's hearts are unpredictable!"
Then, Li Yan no longer hesitated and immediately flew in one direction. As for the cave on the hillside behind him, Li Yan had no intention of going over to check it out.
Since this was a trap set by Shi Pozhu, if there really were any ancient relics, the things inside would have been taken away by him long ago.
Relying on his memory of the time he came here, Li Yan returned much faster than when he entered.
An hour later, when Li Yan rushed out of the meteorite belt and looked back at the densely packed meteorites behind him, Li Yan let out a long sigh of relief.
The asteroid belt always gave him a feeling that it would "riot" at any time, and every moment he stayed in it made him tremble with fear.
After carefully identifying the direction, Li Yan flew in one direction... Five days later, in the dark and boundless turbulent space, a huge meteorite about the size of an acre was drifting slowly. There was a protruding small stone on the meteorite, which was actually very ordinary.
At this moment, under the restriction here, Li Yan was sitting cross-legged, holding a spirit stone in each hand, closing his eyes and slowly regulating his breathing.
In order to leave the fighting area as quickly as possible, Li Yan had been flying at his fastest speed for the past few days. Not only did this consume a lot of his mana, but even his spiritual power was lost by nearly half.
Li Yan had to stop and recover in order to maintain his fighting power.
During the past few days, Li Yan also reviewed what happened that day in the hope of gaining more experience from it.
On that day, Li Yan initially reached a deal with Shi Pozhu, which was to greedily obtain the treasures that might exist in the ancient ruins. Immortal cultivators fight against themselves and against the heavens, and even the most careful cultivators have to take risks in search of opportunities.
Opportunities will not fall from the sky, necessary risks still need to be taken.
However, even if Li Yan agreed to the deal, given his personality, how could he completely trust the other party
It was just that Shi Pozhu's ambush was very clever and he disguised himself very well, so he not only appeared to be generous, but also showed sincerity in his answers to some of Li Yan's questions.
Finally, he even took out high-level spirit stones and paid them to Li Yan in advance. This time, even Li Yan believed it about 60%.
Especially when they were traveling through the meteorite belt, which was the most likely place for a sneak attack on Li Yan, Shi Pozhu behaved very properly, as if he had really come into contact with Li Yan for the sake of a deal.
Therefore, when he finally saw the ruined pavilion, Li Yan's trust level actually reached 70% to 80%, which was extremely rare for Li Yan, who had always been cautious.
However, Shi Pozhu never expected that his last action would make Li Yan suspicious.
There was nothing wrong with the "Seven Star Waterfall Formation" itself. Not only Li Yan knew about this formation, but many cultivators probably had heard of it.
It is a brilliant formation that uses one formation to break another. Especially Shi Pozhu allowed Li Yan to stand on the "Tianshu Star", which further demonstrated his magnanimity.
Anyone who knows about the "Seven Star Flowing Waterfall Formation" knows that "Tianshu Star" is the hub of the seven stars and can interrupt the operation of the formation at any time.
But when Shi Pozhu stood on the "Tianxuan Star" himself, Li Yan's heart skipped a beat.
If Shi Pozhu stood on any of the other five stars, Li Yan would not be alert, but he stood on "Tianxuan Star". Li Yan knew another secret of the "Seven Star Waterfall Formation".
When he was in the Tianling Clan of Qingqing Continent, Shuang Qingqing taught him and Zhao Min a lot of things.
What Shuang Qingqing taught could not be the secret techniques of the Tianling tribe, nor could it be too low-end, otherwise it would be of no use to these two people.
Therefore, the puppetry and formations she mentioned are all relatively advanced or secretive.
Among them, Shuang Qingqing talked about the "Seven Star Waterfall Formation". When talking about this formation, Shuang Qingqing mentioned a secret.
It is said that there is an improved version of the "Seven Star Waterfall Formation", but because this improvement did not have much effect, it was gradually lost and not many people know about it.
This was only known because Shuang Qingqing was an expert in puppetry and proficient in countless formations closely related to it.
There was once a formation master who wanted to improve the power of the "Seven Star Waterfall Formation", so he thought of many ways to try.
However, since the Big Dipper was originally formed by the rules of heaven and earth and was a self-contained entity, trying to modify this rule was undoubtedly modifying the rules of heaven and earth. Unsurprisingly, he failed one by one.
But later, he discovered that if he used the "Tianxuan Star" to control the rules of the seven stars' rotation, when the rotation angle and strength reached a certain level, he could allow the seven stars to borrow the power of the remaining six stars to increase the power of the formation after the stars turned.
Although this person was a genius, he only increased the power of the "Seven Star Waterfall Formation" by 10% at that time. In fact, this 10% of power was already very considerable.
Just when this formation master wanted to continue his research, he disappeared after going out one day.
This resulted in his disciples, although they also knew some methods of the improved version of the "Seven Star Waterfall Formation", were unable to improve even a little bit.
A formation of the level of the "Seven Star Waterfall Formation" is extremely precious in itself, not to mention that there are means to improve it.
At first, many people heard about it and bought it at a high price, but when they actually used it later, they found a big problem.
Although the "Tianxuan Star" can use the method of Dou Zhuan Xing Yi to borrow the power of six stars to increase its power, but because each of the seven stars itself needs to be included in the calculation when breaking the "Seven Star Flowing Waterfall Formation", it takes up a lot of resources.
If "Tianxuan Star" were to withdraw from the "busy" situation and draw out the power of the remaining six stars at the same time, it would cause instability in the "Seven Star Waterfall Formation".
This instability will not show any abnormality in the early stage after the "Seven Star Waterfall Formation" is activated, but as the calculation of breaking the formation becomes more in-depth, adverse consequences will erupt.
Using an array to break an array is a "violent" method of breaking it. When the array reaches the middle and late stages of operation, the "Seven Star Waterfall Array" itself must be working at full capacity to stimulate various forbidden forces.
Once this improved version is activated, the initial power and cracking speed are improved, which makes it excellent for cracking some common restrictions.
However, once encountering a sophisticated and difficult-to-break formation, the further the "Seven Star Flowing Waterfall Formation" is operated, the more seamless the coordination between the seven stars becomes.
If "Tianxuan Star" "withdraws" at that time, not only will it fail to break the formation, it will even result in the "Seven Star Waterfall Formation" self-destructing.
The consequences of the self-detonation of the "Seven Star Waterfall Formation" are not limited to itself.
It will trigger the activation of all the restrictions of the formation that is to be broken, and either destroy the treasures inside, or the backlash power will be even stronger, and even the person controlling it will be affected.
The consequences may be minor, such as injury or death.
As a result, the improved version of the "Seven Star Flowing Waterfall Formation" became useless. Gradually, no one used it, and finally few people mentioned it anymore.
The reason why Shuang Qingqing told Li Yan and Zhao Min this was to make them pay attention. If someone uses this formation, when he takes the initiative to activate the "Tianxuan Star", then they should pay attention.
First, the "Seven Star Waterfall Formation" will become extremely unstable in the near future, and there is a possibility that it will kill the monks.
The second is that that person may know how "Tianxuan Star" changed the formation and will seize control of the other six stars.
Therefore, when Shi Pozhu stepped onto "Tianxuan Star", Li Yan immediately remembered Shuang Qingqing's instructions, and an ominous warning suddenly arose in his heart.
At the same time, he also thought of a possibility. The reason why Shi Pozhu chose the "Seven Star Waterfall Formation" to break the formation with another formation was because this formation was famous enough.
Although the "Seven Star Waterfall Formation" is difficult to obtain, many cultivators have heard of it, especially Nascent Soul cultivators.
In this way, once he recognizes that Shi Pozhu is using this formation, his vigilance will be reduced, especially since he himself will not be standing on the "Tianshu Star".
Li Yan later speculated that even if others did not have water spiritual roots and were not good at controlling the "Tianshu Star", Shi Pozhu might take out something like a water-based magic weapon to induce others to stand in the position of "Tianshu Star".
