Everyone heard the "ding-dong" sound coming from the fifth floor of the White Tower.
No one knew whether he had succeeded or not, and they didn't understand why he suddenly jumped out of the white tower and flew back to Luo Hongyan at such a high speed.
"Didn't it work?"
Luo Hongyan saw that he was unhappy, blinked, and asked in surprise: "With your natural power, you couldn't destroy the array on the fifth floor?"
"The stones used to build the skull array are harder than gold and iron. I was unable to pierce them with my dragon-patterned spear."
Although it was unpleasant, Pang Jian was not discouraged. He said frankly: "Maybe my method is wrong. Does it require any special tricks to pry that thing open?"
He described the shape of the skull, the many spirits and ghosts inside, and the surrounding turtles.
He also talked about what he saw on the first floor, those U-shaped patterns spread out with crystal stones, and said that the spiritual energy formed by those spiritual arrays arranged in U-shaped patterns was extremely strong.
After listening to him carefully, Luo Hongyan frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "The array formed by many crystal stones at the bottom of the White Tower is the source of power that operates the Heavenly Spirit Tower."
"The U-shaped pattern you saw is called the original cloud-thunder pattern, and those crystal stones filled with spiritual energy are... spiritual jade."
Pang Jian was stunned: "Spiritual Jade?"
Greed suddenly appeared in Su Yuntian and He Rong's eyes.
"Spirit jade is a spiritual stone of higher quality and purity. Above spiritual jade, there is a higher level of strange stone, called spiritual crystal." After explaining casually, Luo Hongyan said: "As for the hollow skull, it should be a soul-locking and soul-absorbing spirit formation. The reason you can't break it is not only because your method is not right, but also because your realm is too low."
"The method of breaking the soul formation involves spiritual consciousness and the soul, which is a field you are completely unfamiliar with. You won't understand it even if I tell you."
She explained it in detail, especially pointing out that Pang Jian's cultivation level was not high enough, which resulted in his inability to destroy the soul formation.
Pang Jian understood that he had just started practicing cultivation and had not yet broken through the Qi Refining Stage, and had not yet experienced the qualitative change that Zhou Qingchen had mentioned.
Without advancing to the Tongmai realm, spiritual energy cannot flow through the meridians throughout the body and naturally cannot be released outwards, and the difference between the spiritual energy and ordinary people is not much.
Only when one reaches the Tongmai realm and is able to utilize one's accumulated spiritual power, will a qualitative leap occur.
When Pang Jian was feeling distressed, Luo Hongyan's eyes fell on his Dantian area and suddenly asked, "How long will it take for you to break through?"
Pang Jian narrowed his eyes and felt carefully, then said uncertainly: "It should not be far away. I am practicing on that array with a lot of spiritual jades. My speed can exceed that of any other realm."
"That guy hasn't come out of the pit next to Shangguan Qin yet. You still have time."
Looking towards the foot of the mountain, Luo Hongyan glanced at the sky again and said, "Go to the bottom floor of the Tianling Tower, use those spiritual jades to gather spiritual power, and try to reach the Tongmai realm."
"As long as you complete the first level of the Meridian Opening Realm and allow the spiritual energy to flow to the dragon-patterned spear, there will be hope of destroying the soul formation."
She gave an idea to solve the dilemma.
Su Yuntian, He Rong and others, seeing that she wanted Pang Jian to break through in the battle to break the impasse, thought her proposal was ridiculous.
According to their limited knowledge, no one who has just been promoted to the Tongmai Realm can open up the meridians in the arm and gush out the spiritual power from the palm in a short time.
"good!"
Pang Jian turned and left.
"Is he really only at the Qi Refining Stage?"
Su Yuntian had a strange look on his face.
"Sister Ning, is he really a hunter outside?"
Su Meng couldn't help but ask.
Glancing at her, Luo Hongyan maintained her usual cold expression, but still nodded.
When she pretended that she couldn't hold on and anxiously asked Pang Jian for help, only Su Meng showed an attitude of wanting to rescue her.
—Although he was held down by Su Yuntian, he didn’t accomplish anything.
"He is at the Qi Refining Stage?"
Su Meng asked again.
This time Luo Hongyan no longer paid any attention to him, and Pang Jian, who was in her sight, disappeared again in the Tianling Tower.
Su Yuntian and He Rong looked at Luo Hongyan from afar. They had something to hide, so they didn't interrupt but communicated quietly.
"Girl Ning knows a lot about the Heavenly Spirit Pagoda, and she also knows about the original cloud-lightning pattern. I don't know any of that."
He Rong whispered.
Su Yuntian also muttered quietly: "That boy is actually only at the Qi Refining Stage! With such a cultivation level, he can actually resist the spiritual evil power released by the Tianling Tower. It's incredible."
"Those spiritual jades..." He Rong said softly.
At this moment, Luo Hongyan's meaningful gaze moved away from the white tower, paused on his face, and a cold look appeared at the corner of her mouth.
He Rong, who wanted to get his hands on Lingyu, suddenly felt uncomfortable everywhere and snorted with a gloomy face.
He knew that the girl from the Ning family had only reached the first level of Tongmai Realm, so he naturally would not be afraid.
He Rong now felt more and more disgusted with this girl who was originally engaged to his nephew, so when Luo Hongyan was in crisis, he chose to back off immediately.
Deep down in his heart, he actually hoped that Luo Hongyan's soul would be extracted by the Tianling Tower, and he wanted to see her die in front of him.
It seemed that this would be able to wash away the humiliation that the other party had brought to him and the He family.
…
The bottom floor of the White Tower.
Pang Jian, who had returned, sat cross-legged above those primitive cloud-thunder patterns, cleared his mind of distracting thoughts, and instantly entered the state of practicing the "Hutian Yangqi Jue".
With his improved cultivation, he could enter the state instantly every time he concentrated.
The spiritual power flying through the original cloud and thunder pattern array is like streams rushing towards the common deep ocean.
In Pang Jian's perception, his spiritual sea is just like that vast ocean, incorporating thousands of spiritual power streams through the "Hutian Yangqi Jue"!
He had never experienced such efficiency in practice before, and it was so fast that it moved him deeply.
The spiritual power turned into streams of light, which instantly entered the Dantian above, and then followed the funnel-shaped vortex center to the spiritual power ocean below.
He could clearly feel that the spiritual power in his spiritual sea was being replenished bit by bit.
At the beginning, the refined and gathered spiritual power was just a small pool of water, which gradually became a puddle, and then became like a lake or a sea!
Spiritual Sea, Spiritual Sea, only when the spiritual power gathers into an ocean, it is the sign of the great success of Qi Refining Realm.
It is also the grandeur that the ninth level of Qi Refining should have!
Feeling the wonderful changes in his spiritual sea, Pang Jian understood that he would not be far from breaking through to the next realm and reaching the Tongmai realm.
Time flies, and Pang Jian, who was immersed in his cultivation, didn't know that night had fallen again.
Under the cover of night that night, the Su and He families did not light a fire, but gathered together, waiting anxiously.
They had no idea when the person Shangguan Qin feared would suddenly show up, nor did they believe that Pang Jian could be promoted to the Tongmai realm in a short period of time and thus destroy the soul formation at the highest level of the White Tower.
"Tomorrow, when it's completely light, we will pick the rare flowers and plants on the island."
He Rong had a plan in mind. He immediately discussed with Su Yuntian and said, "No matter whether Ning girl and that boy can break the soul formation in the white tower, we must do our job first."
The rare flowers and plants on the island are priceless. As long as you know how to pick them, you can exchange some of them for a lot of spiritual materials.
"Shangguan Qin's gesture is for us to leave the island as soon as possible and inform the strong men in the tribe of the existence of this island." Su Yuntian frowned and said angrily: "She thinks we can't save her, which means that there are dangers around her that can easily kill all of us."
Su Yuntian said again: "Brother He, you are right. We can't count on Ning Yatou and Pang Jian. It is simply unrealistic for them to sharpen their weapons at the last minute to break the deadlock!"
"Well, even with Ning girl and us, we should not be a match for the man at the bottom of the well." He Rong said timidly.
The two quickly reached an agreement and decided to wait until dawn to pick some exotic flowers and plants before leaving on a bamboo raft.
They also planned to take an alternative route instead of the one Pang Jian had directed, hoping to avoid the "evil spirits" they might encounter. They would rather spend more time and get out of the Silence Mountains safely.
…
In the dark night, the "evil spirits" hidden in the bushes outside the island took advantage of the darkness to move around secretly.
Except for the area where the White Tower is located where the "Spiritual Evils" do not come, the rest of the island has been searched by the "Spiritual Evils".
"Lingsha" found a pile of bones on the grass behind Shangguan Qin. The bodies of the four disappeared servants of the Su and He families, as well as some practitioners from the Galaxy Alliance and Blood Moon, were all piled there.
One of the "spiritual evil spirits" floated in the air in the darkness, looking at Shangguan Qin and the pit created by the phoenix bone piercing the ground.
It is condensed from the soul of Romon.
The "spiritual evil" that Luo Meng transformed into did not try to find out what was going on in the well at the critical moment when Pang Jian was breaking through the Tongmai realm.
—It was afraid of alarming the unknown entity inside.
It observed quietly and saw a thin white rope wrapped around Shangguan Qin's ankle.
The other end of the white rope hung down into the well, and seemed to be connected to someone she feared in the well.
As long as Shangguan Qin was too far away from the pit, it would seem that the white rope would be pulled, thus alarming the people below.
And she seemed unable to untie the white rope, so she was trapped next to the pit.
At the top of the mountain, Luo Hongyan, hidden in the darkness, looked at Shangguan Qin at the foot of the mountain.
In the dead of night in the fourth realm, and at such a great distance, Shangguan Qin could no longer see her.
However, she could use the "Spiritual Evil" to see Shangguan Qin's every move, including the thin white rope.
She suddenly had an idea.
The "spiritual evil spirit" Luo Meng, who was under her control, suddenly fell slowly from mid-air and landed in front of the distraught Shangguan Qin.
Shangguan Qin, who had given up struggling long ago, rubbed her eyes when she saw Luo Meng suddenly appear. When she found that Luo Meng was still there, she still couldn't believe what she saw.
She smiled nervously silently, waved at Roman, and then sobbed with her shoulders trembling slightly.
Her crying was silent.
Her face was covered with traces of tears as she looked at Luo Meng who had become a "spiritual evil spirit", thinking it was just her illusion.
She recalled many things she had experienced with Luo Meng, and thought about how this man knew that she was cruel and had killed her previous two husbands, and knew that she was in love with Ouyang Duanhai, but he still accompanied her silently.
In the end, it was this man who resolutely died in order to save her.
She shook her head sadly, not knowing how to face Roman after her death. Her heart was full of guilt.
Gradually, she didn't dare to look up, afraid to look at Roman, whom she thought was an hallucination.
The controlled "Romon" had long lost his spiritual consciousness and just looked at her blankly.
"Lingsha" Luo Meng didn't know who she was and didn't understand why she was crying.
"This heartless woman regrets it now, but it's too late."
On a low hill in the distance, Luo Hongyan snorted softly. Seeing that Shangguan Qin did not reveal any useful information, she signaled "Lingsha" to leave.
"Spiritual Evil" Luo Meng disappeared instantly.
