Li Yan immediately realized one thing. There was something wrong with these winds and snows. Although he had taken precautions, his attention was focused on attacks that might appear at any time.
But without realizing it, he had actually been tricked. His senses were now beginning to become dull, and in such a cold environment, his body gradually lost its chill.
"The moment I entered, the attack started!"
These seem to be just ice and snow in the illusion of the scene, but in fact they are the biggest killer move.
Although they are not like the Gangfeng, which can blow away flesh and blood and melt bones. But it can quietly and silently freeze the souls of the people inside to death, and make you die unconsciously.
The attacks here are deadly traps set for the soul, they are invisible and invisible.
Although it cannot directly break through Li Yan's spiritual shield, it can penetrate into the three souls and seven souls along with your breathing and your perception.
So, while you are still waiting and on guard, the attack has already begun.
"This is testing the yin and yang power of the soul!"
Li Yan understood the purpose of the opponent's forbidden attack this time. The three souls and seven souls are divided into yin and yang. Overall, the soul is yin and the soul is yang.
At this level, if the power of the soul cannot be used to fight, the person will lose his vitality in the confusion of the soul.
Although the ice and snow here can be resisted by using fire magical powers, because the core attack of the formation here is the human soul, the ice and snow here is not ice and snow in the ordinary sense.
Instead, it contains the ghost of the earth and the sorrow and fear of the soul. Ordinary fire magical powers cannot easily break it, and can only be restrained by borrowing the rules of heaven and earth in a broad sense.
Although it can achieve defense in a broad sense, it is not targeted restraint.
At the same time, once you use those methods, it will arouse others' suspicion, and it is almost self-inflicted.
A red light flashed continuously on Li Yan's forehead, and the falling snowflakes disappeared one after another as soon as they came into contact with the red light.
Warm yang also emerged in Li Yan's body. As he used his courage, the red light on his forehead became more and more intense, and finally his whole body was enveloped in red light.
And those red lights are still spreading continuously. When the surrounding ice and snow touch the red light, it seems to have encountered a scorching sun and melt at an extremely fast speed.
Wherever the red light passed, a large area of green grass on the ground was revealed.
And when the red light spread to about ten feet outside the body, Li Yan's whole body seemed to turn into a red rising sun.
Li Yan looked around and planned to move forward. He wanted to find out where the exit was so that he could break through the ice field and step out of the ice field.
Outside the house, the young man was looking at a door, and at this time, his face had lost the previous indifference.
This room was the side room that Li Yan entered. At this moment, the door disappeared, and a picture appeared in front of him. On the picture, Li Yanzheng had a red light spreading on his forehead.
"Although this person only has the power of soul in the early stage of Nascent Soul, how can he show such purity? Has his soul been tempered by secret methods?"
The young man looked at Li Yan's burst of soul power with a look of surprise in his eyes...
After practicing hard for more than ten years, Li Yan can now be considered to be able to accurately control the power of the soul. Of course, he only exposed the power of the soul in the early stage of Nascent Soul.
However, his cultivation time was still short, and he still did not have a deep understanding of soul cultivation.
The young man outside the house saw not only his level of cultivation through the soul power emanating from Li Yan, but also saw that there was some "problem" with Li Yan's soul.
This "problem" is a good thing that many monks dream of, which is the purity and concentration of soul cultivation.
Li Yan has tried his best to control the power of his soul and keep it at the early stage of Nascent Soul, but this only controls the vigor and cohesion of the soul.
But he couldn't hide the intensity of the red light he exuded. The vigor he exuded showed a crimson color, which was already showing signs of transformation into bright red.
This surprised the young man outside the door. Even if he reached the late Nascent Soul stage, his soul's concentration and compression would be more intense and compact than Li Yan's.
But the red light emitted was definitely not as bright as Li Yan's.
This shows that the opponent's soul has been tempered, and the tempering is too pure. The purity represented by this color can already be achieved by cultivating the soul.
"Is this person a casual cultivator? Did he obtain the tempering method from other outside cultivators, or did he swallow some heavenly material and earthly treasure..."
The young man was surprised and remembered some information about Lingzhanmen.
The ancestor of this sect was also a monk who came out of the Soul-Suppressing Palace, and he was one of those amazing people. Later, after he founded the Soul-Slaying Sect, he even absorbed some of the soul-cultivating techniques that were involved.
I have long heard that the techniques created by this sect also have unique aspects and are very good. When he saw it today, he was a little surprised.
Soul tempering techniques like this are found in every soul cultivating sect and are the most important means of tempering the soul.
However, it seems that he has never heard of the Soul-Slaying Sect's technique, which can be so powerful, so there are two other possibilities.
One is that Li Yan obtained other powerful soul-cultivation techniques, and the other is that he swallowed treasures that enhance the soul.
Regarding the former situation, the young man felt that it was unlikely. After all, soul cultivators were rare and there were even fewer soul cultivators who could be involved here, but this possibility was not ruled out.
Although some foreign soul cultivators cooperate with the sects here, they always leave some of the most core secrets unknown to outsiders. Of course, Li Yan still has a chance of getting them.
But he was more inclined to the latter guess. Li Yan found something good while wandering around.
In the "Earth True Realm", strange things like "Soul Crystal Buds" and "Crystal Smoke Ground" have appeared, both of which are related to soul cultivation. Then there are other heavenly materials and earthly treasures that can temper the soul. It's not impossible.
Looking at the restricted attack that was originally aimed at the Nascent Soul cultivator, after Li Yan showed such pure courage, everything melted away in an instant.
The young man knew that this level was easily broken by the other party, unless he adjusted the formation restrictions to the level of difficulty.
But he didn't dare to act recklessly. He was not the only one who knew the assessment list. There was also a corresponding list outside, so he could check it accurately.
The Zhenhun Palace still values the monks of the sect who want to enter. Otherwise, there would not be a separate "Yijiao Hall".
"There is a secret about this person. If I have a chance, I will have to check carefully about the Soul-Slaying Sect's technique information!"
With just one glance, the young man saw that Li Yan contained a secret.
Therefore, Li Yan is not a real immortal. He cannot make calculations and can only do his best to obey fate, and others are not fools.
There are many smart people among immortal cultivators. It was just the first time today that Li Yan showed his skills in front of others, and he showed his flaws.
But this way, the young man's mind was filled with the opponent's skills, and he no longer doubted Li Yan's identity.
For a person with such pure courage, especially one who can release it easily, it is simply a joke to say that he is not a soul cultivator.
In his mind, he also had the idea of having a good relationship with Li Yan in the future. Maybe he could trade some secret skills from him, but that was not necessarily the case.
As for killing people and seizing treasures, this idea is possible, but unless he can do it cleanly and not let others find out any traces...
The young man outside the door also had sinister thoughts, but it was just a reserved method. If there was a chance, he would not mind catching the opponent.
But he is more inclined to be friends with Li Yan. After all, he is not sure that he will be able to get everything done. He is more afraid of the punishment according to the sect rules. Thinking about that kind of torture will make the young man's heart break.
Li Yan didn't know that as soon as he arrived here, he was already being noticed.
… …
In a space of ice and snow, Li Yan was about to take a step forward, when suddenly the ice and snow in front of him changed like a scroll.
The space first tilted up from both sides, and then the ice, snow and other scenery in front of him completely deformed and twisted, and was quickly rolled toward the center.
But in just a blink of an eye, Li Yan found himself standing in a dark space. There was a small piece of bright scroll in front of him, which was quickly closing in the middle.
In the blink of an eye, the scroll turned into a white light spot. After a sudden flash, it completely disappeared into the pitch-black darkness.
"Is the ban broken?" The red light on Li Yan's forehead also dimmed in an instant, and then disappeared.
Although the power of his soul is not weak, it is still weak compared to the mana that is as strong as the sea. If it is used like this, it cannot be sustained for a long time.
However, fortunately, the soul-restoring elixirs in the "Jizhen Domain" are very effective, but these things are basically unavailable in the outside world.
On his way here this time, Li Yan passed by several markets and purchased a lot.
He still maintained his usual caution and went to buy these elixirs several times in different places.
Although it is not possible for him to go out yet, Li Yan is already making preparations habitually. If you can prepare more of this rare elixir, you should try to prepare as much as possible.
And just when Li Yan gave up his courage, the dark space in front of him changed again. In a blur, it turned into a gray space.
The scene that appeared in front of him made Li Yan, who was still on guard, look slightly startled at first, and then his dark eyes suddenly shrank violently, and a rare look of disbelief appeared in his eyes.
At this moment, although he did not move, as the space here changed, Li Yan found himself standing... at the entrance of a long dark alley, or at the bottom of the alley.
Because, behind him is a wall, like a starting or ending place, and a long alley appears in front of him, extending forward in a curve...
There are tall gray walls on both sides, and the sky above is gray, making it impossible to see how high the walls are.
Although there is light in the long alley, the whole thing is gray and very dim, and the deeper you go into the long alley, the darker it gets.
Only where Li Yan was standing was a dim light shining down from above. The stones paved on the ground were gray, and the walls were also gray...
The appearance of this scene made Li Yan seem to have traveled through time in an instant and returned to a place he was very familiar with.
"This... this is an underground alley?"
Li Yan almost shouted, but the next moment, he swallowed the words back because he knew that he had not moved and was still in a formation.
The land of ice and snow just now changed in front of my eyes. I was not teleported away at all. I just stood there and then appeared at the end of the long alley.
This can only be said that the formation is still changing here, not the real existence!
"But...but how can there be such a thing in the Soul-Suppressing Palace...Ascended monk? Soul Prison Clan?"
Li Yan instantly remembered some information, but when the idea of "soul prison clan" came up, Li Yan himself felt a little incredible.
However, this thought only flashed through his mind, and he knew that he could not stand here for too long.
But now we are in the process of assessment. It is okay to express surprise and doubt, but we cannot fall into thinking, otherwise it will make people suspicious. We should wait until everything is settled here before thinking about it carefully.
Li Yan first pretended to look around, as if he had made sure there was no danger around him, and then cautiously walked forward.
As he took steps step by step, he was already counting silently in his heart.
"one two three… "
Sure enough, when he counted to three, a white shadow suddenly appeared in front of him, and the shadow immediately attacked him...
Half a quarter of an hour later, Li Yan, with a pale and bloodless face, appeared in front of the young man, and the young man's eyes also looked at Li Yan carefully with some strange colors.
The monk named Li Yan actually walked one hundred and seventy feet in the long alley. This formation was only improved this year.
In particular, this set of long alley attacks was refined with great painstaking efforts by Master Lan after referring to an ancient book of the sect.
It is said that the original intention of this formation is to temper the souls of disciples, but because it is not mature enough, if no one is there to protect it, the monks who enter will most likely die.
Therefore, the sect does not agree with Master Lan establishing such a real training environment within the sect, which is tantamount to destroying the sect.
But after Master Lan's continuous hard work, the sect leader finally agreed that she could continue to study this ancient method, first refine it into a set of phantom array attacks, and then put it into the sect's assessment array.
There are also monks here to take care of it, so we can take the opportunity to hone this formation and find out its problems and shortcomings. After it is perfected, the sect can actually build this kind of place where disciples can practice.
This formation has been here for decades, and Master Lan will continue to modify it every year. The young man in charge of the assessment also let others take care of it and entered the test several times out of curiosity.
After he adjusted the formation to the Nascent Soul level difficulty, after several attempts, he could only move forward to a distance of about two hundred feet at most before he would be beaten to death by the attacks inside and fainted several times.
Since Master Lan's formation was not perfect at controlling so many souls, the souls inside were like a violent storm.
This makes it very difficult for the monks to resist inside, but at the same time, this formation cannot fully exert its true power.
This consumes too much of the souls that were finally obtained. Often after six or seven attacks, they will be completely destroyed, and 50% of the power will be wasted.
But fortunately, they are a soul cultivating sect themselves, and they have their own set of methods for cultivating souls.
They have a special Soul Feeding Hall, where they can cultivate some weak souls into powerful souls through secret techniques.
In a place with extremely rich spiritual energy like the fairy world, there is also the help of "soul crystal buds", which makes it faster to raise souls in Zhenhun Palace.
These souls are constantly instilled with the consciousness of killing, so they are evil spirits that have no other thoughts and only know how to attack crazily.
Only souls above Nascent Soul are more difficult to raise and require longer time. Foundation-building and golden elixir souls are easy to cultivate. Occasionally, there are souls from outside monks that can be used directly.
This formation consumes so much, and the sect is not willing to bear such expenses, so the souls used here are all consumed by Master Lan alone.
But he is a great master of alchemy and weapon refining, and he is very rich. And the assessment does not happen every day, so Master Lan can still afford it.
Even though this formation is immature, the young man in charge of the assessment feels that he is among the top 100 in the Nascent Soul Realm.
Being able to reach a distance of two hundred feet was enough to make him proud, but that was compared to the late Nascent Soul monks.
But the monk named Li Yan in front of him was only at the early stage of Yuanying. He actually broke through the barrier for the first time and reached a distance of 170 feet.
"This is not just a matter of his pure soul power. I think his judgment is terrifyingly accurate when avoiding the siege of those souls.
Even after finishing a batch, when he continued to move forward, the soul in front had not yet appeared. It was as if he knew in advance where the soul would appear next...
Moreover, when a group of souls attacked, he seemed to be able to accurately judge the order of their attacks...
He used the most soul-saving method to repel the opponent without wasting any soul power, just like he had broken through such formations countless times... "
The young man was very surprised. Li Yan gave him the feeling that he had been tested in this long alley countless times.
But he quickly rejected this idea. This formation was deduced by Master Lan combined with the ancient books of the sect and failed countless times.
According to Master Lan, this formation was that of the first-generation Supreme Elder, the old sect master who ascended from the lower world. They also said that this oldest cultivation formation had been lost long ago.
The first-generation Supreme Elder had only seen this ancient method in a book, which was the one he printed on to Elder Lan and others.
Therefore, this formation has only appeared in Zhenhun Palace so far, and it is impossible to see it outside, let alone break through the barrier and practice.
"That is because this person's soul is extremely sensitive. He is a true soul cultivation genius. After his ancestor left the Soul-Slaying Sect, he did not develop any earth-shattering strength, but he gave birth to such an heir!"
The young man judged everything he saw in his heart.
Some people are born with strong spiritual consciousness, and some people are born with strong souls. This kind of thing happens among mortals.
People who are born with a keen sense of light, sound, and even danger and death. They are not people who fight all year round and fight with others, but they are born with an extremely keen sense of danger, and can even sense the direction of the source of danger. .
This kind of people are actually born with truly powerful souls, and the purity of their souls is also very high. They often practice the same skills, and the souls of these people will more easily exert the power of the skills.
Therefore, after seeing Li Yan's subsequent performance, the young man felt that he might have guessed wrong before. Li Yan's various subsequent performances can only show that he has excellent cultivation qualifications.
