Xu Jun nodded to everyone, and then leisurely entered the illusion array.
"Hey, I remember, he just went in directly."
"Yeah, doesn't he need to do basic observation outside the array?"
"This person is really reckless."
"Not reckless." A student from Baibing Dao Palace said leisurely: "He is just a skilled and daring person."
Everyone was silent for a long time, all silent.
Yes, if Xu Jun couldn't break through the illusion array, then he was naturally a reckless person in his heart. However,
since he broke through, it means he was confident, and what is a skilled and daring person?
Taking success or failure as the benchmark, these are two completely different evaluations.
Ni Lilan listened silently, not affected by them at all.
Under normal circumstances, after setting up the array, the array master can leave a place for spying in the array, so as to grasp the every move of the person who broke the array, and even some ruthless people will leave a back-up plan and make changes to the array at any time.
But now, the array masters of the three major Dao Palaces are sparring.
If Ni Lilan did this, then the reputation of Baibing Dao Palace would be completely destroyed.
Setting up the formation has already taken such a big advantage.
If you have to monitor and change it at any time when someone breaks the formation...
This is not a life-and-death battle. Any formation master who has a bit of dignity will not do this.
Therefore, at this moment, even Ni Lilan does not know the specific situation in the formation.
She can only feel that after Xu Jun entered, many mysteries in the formation were triggered, and various illusions should be attacking him in full swing.
It's really strange. With Xu Jun's attainments in the formation, why can't he avoid these illusions?
Suddenly, Ni Lilan thought of the situation in the Mayu Song illusion just now, when she was sensing the atmosphere in the formation from a distance.
The atmosphere in the formation seemed to be in chaos.
"Daoyou Ma."
"What?"
"I want to ask you something. When Xu Jun was breaking through the formation, did he avoid all the illusion traps, or did he just break through?"
Ma Yousong thought for a moment and said, "He just broke through, he didn't try to avoid them."
Although they couldn't see the images in the formation, it was the formation they had set up after all, so they still had the ability to sense whether the traps in the formation were triggered by someone.
Ni Lilan raised her eyebrows and said, "Not good."
Although her voice was very low, everyone still heard it clearly.
"Senior Ni, what's wrong?" someone close to her asked.
Ma Yousong also pricked up his ears, wanting to hear what was going on.
Ni Lilan sighed and said, "I set up many means of illusion attack in the formation, but they were all triggered by him."
Everyone looked at each other, what's wrong with this?
The man continued to ask, "Senior sister, are you afraid of hurting him?"
Ni Lilan shook her head and said, "The illusion array set up by Fellow Daoist Ma is no less damaging than mine. Since he was able to pass through it safely, the damage caused by my illusion is not worth mentioning."
Ma Yousong's expression immediately looked much better. At least Ni Lilan's words would not make people think that she was a fraud.
"Senior, what are you worried about?"
Ni Lilan said slowly: "After Xu Jun entered the formation, I don't know what means he used, but he didn't even dodge a single illusion attack. Haha, he must have done it on purpose."
Ma Yousong was stunned, and he suddenly realized, "I understand, he is using this method to trigger the arrangement of fellow Taoists as much as possible, and then determine the spiritual power concentration area in the formation, find the spiritual power node, and finally trace the source and find the main formation eye."
"Yes." Ni Lilan said with some regret: "I have heard that among the formation masters, there is a kind of people with extraordinary talents who can easily find the most critical breath of the formation in the chaos of spiritual power. Therefore, when they break the formation, they have to trigger the trap in the formation... Hey, it turns out that there are such people in the world."
The people below talked a lot, but there is no doubt that they admire Xu Jun's means of breaking the formation more and more.
Ordinary formation masters enter the formation and avoid all kinds of attack methods in the formation. They only hope to have a safe and stable environment to slowly infer the location of the main array.
However, after listening to Ni Lilan's words, they realized that there is always someone better than you.
...
...
Inside the array diagram, Xu Jun stretched out his hand and waved.
Although there was no sword energy released, there was also a surge of magic power, which dispersed the phantom beasts in front of him.
These phantom beasts naturally could not hurt Xu Jun, who had a clear sword heart and a steel will.
In his eyes, these things were like scaring a child, and at most they could give him a surprise.
However, when there were too many surprises, it was also a kind of trouble.
Hey, I don't know how this senior sister Ni Lilan arranged the array. She made so many tricks in it. Isn't it annoying?
Girls, just annoying!
Xu Jun looked around and felt helpless.
If it was a first-level phantom array, with his four months of array attainments and clear sword heart, he should be able to avoid most of the traps.
But the problem is that this Ni Lilan is a rising star that even Master Sheng highly respects.
The illusion array she arranged was the best in the second-level, especially the various traps she arranged were amazing.
Xu Jun had indeed been very careful along the way.
However, he had never avoided a single trap.
Although he had tried his best, he was still unable to do it.
The art of array formation was profound and extensive. Little Kara, who had studied for four months, had no human rights in front of a second-level superior array master.
The only thing to be thankful for was that this was an illusion array, not a killing array.
However, if it was a killing array, Xu Jun would not have explored and sensed it honestly. With his current strength, he would have killed people everywhere, destroyed the nodes of the array, and used violent means to break the array with the sword's heart.
Humph, if you have the ability, wait for me to learn the array for ten years... No, even if it's only two or three years, we can compete again!
Xu Jun continued to move forward while cursing in his heart.
Since he wanted to break the formation, no matter how many traps there were in the illusion formation, he had no choice but to go through them one
by one. An hour later, Xu Jun finally walked around the formation.
It was a competition between students, otherwise there would be no such small second-level micro-formation in the world.
Xu Jun stopped, closed his eyes slightly, and outlined his walking route in his mind, as well as the reflection of the surrounding environment under the clear sword heart.
In his shallow but barely solid foundation of formation knowledge system, Xu Jun still calculated the location of one of the formation's spiritual power nodes.
What is the most fearful thing about a thousand threads?
The most fearful thing is that you can't find the direction, can't find a clue to solve the problem.
Once there is a precise beginning, as long as you have enough patience and means, everything can be solved.
Xu Jun walked slowly, constantly sensing in his heart.
He was looking for the main formation eye of this formation in his own way.
After another half an hour, Xu Jun's eyes suddenly lit up.
In his sword heart, he clearly sensed a special energy group.
Normally, such energy groups can be seen everywhere in the formation. Xu Jun had even passed by this place more than once before.
But this time was different.
After some deductions and elimination methods, as well as the sword heart's tracing back to the source, this energy group seemed so dazzling.
How to say it, this thing looks ordinary, a piece of gold mixed in the mud and sand flow.
When it is covered by mud and sand, it is certainly inconspicuous.
However, if someone wipes off the mud and sand and reveals the essential color of gold. Then, it becomes extremely dazzling.
Xu Jun stepped forward, fumbled with his hands for a moment, and then pulled hard.
In an instant, a formation flag rose up.
And as the formation flag was pulled out, the aura of the entire formation changed dramatically.
Outside the formation, Ni Lilan's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
She murmured: "How, there is such a talent..."
Soon, the strange phenomenon of the formation being broken came, and everyone's face became weird and embarrassed.
They stole a glance at Ni Lilan and Ma Yousong, both of whom were extremely powerful in formation. But unfortunately, they were really unlucky to meet an unreasonable genius like Xu Jun.
Soon, the scene was replayed.
Xu Jun carried a formation flag and walked out in a chic manner.
Looking at his figure, all the formation masters felt that this figure was so tall and majestic and could not be offended.
Coming in front of Ni Lilan, Xu Jun put down the formation flag and said with a smile: "Daoyou Ni, you are living up to my expectations."
Ni Lilan took a deep look at him and said: "Daoyou's attainments in formation... Lilan is convinced."
Ma Yousong sighed and bowed deeply to Xu Jun.
No matter what they thought in their hearts, since Xu Jun could break the formation, they had to admit defeat.
Xu Jun waved his hand and said, "You two are welcome. Haha, to be honest, this magic array is very well arranged. I almost couldn't break it."
Ni Lilan said solemnly, "Please give me some advice, fellow Taoist."
Xu Jun was stunned. He was just being polite. Why did she really ask for advice?
Hey, facing a top-notch second-grade upper-grade array master, how can I say it to fool her?
Xu Jun stuttered and said, "Brother Ni, there is something wrong with the main array eye of your formation."
"Main array eye?" Ni Lilan asked more humbly, "Please tell me in detail."
Xu Jun laughed and said, "When I was searching for the main array eye, I passed that area three times. I didn't find any problems the first two times, but I found it the third time. Do you know why?"
"Why?"
"Although you hid the breath of the main array eye in the formation diagram and disguised it very well. However, this main array eye is the main array eye after all. It is just covered up, and there is no real qualitative change. So, after I eliminated various options, I can still easily lock its position."
Xu Jun spoke clearly. Although he said the truth, in fact, these words were useless.
Because this is also a truth that everyone knows, but how to do it to achieve this goal is really not something that ordinary people can solve.
Everyone knows that the Nascent Soul is very strong and they all want to form a Nascent Soul, but how many people can finally achieve their wishes?
Ni Lilan opened her mouth, her eyes moving, as if she was thinking about something.
Ma Yousong also frowned, as if he had realized something.
Xu Jun muttered to himself that he had to finish it quickly, otherwise he would be exposed.
"If Fellow Daoist Ni can find a way to truly change the nature of the main array eye, at least make it blend into the surrounding environment without leaving any flaws. Then it will be difficult for me to break the array."
Ni Lilan's eyes flickered, and she murmured, "Merge into one, merge into one..."
Suddenly, she sat down cross-legged.
Xu Jun was startled. What was going on?
Ma Yousong said leisurely, "Daoyou Ni has an epiphany."
"Ah, what? An epiphany?"
"Yeah, I'm really envious."
Xu Jun: ...
This can also be an epiphany? Damn it, what on earth did I say that I shouldn't have just said?
...
...
Yingbin Peak.
This is one of the largest peaks of Baibing Dao Palace, and it is also the location of the hotel with the highest standards for entertaining guests of the same level.
Although Zhongli Zhili is not a Yuanying Zhenjun, he came on behalf of the Natural Dao Palace, and naturally enjoyed the highest standard of reception.
However, Zhongli Zhili is not in the hotel now, but in a large martial arts hall several miles away from the hotel.
This is the place where students from Baibing Dao Palace and foreign Dao Palaces compete and exchange martial arts.
Just as Xu Jun and others' literary competition began, the martial arts competition of the three major Dao Palaces welcoming the new spring also followed.
Each Dao Palace has three students participating in the competition.
During the literary competition, the attainments of the hundred arts of cultivation are given priority, so there will be early foundation building, and even more extreme, there will be Qi training cultivators.
However, during the martial arts competition, all the participants are in the middle foundation building stage.
In fact, if any student can cultivate to the late Qi training stage in these twenty years, then the Natural Dao Palace will definitely not mind sending them to the competition.
But such a peerless genius may only appear once in hundreds of years.
At this time, Zhongli Zhili's face was not good, and behind him, the three students in the middle foundation building stage of the Natural Dao Palace also looked ashamed.
"Haha, fellow Daoist Zhongli, fellow Daoist Teng, thank you for letting us win the martial arts competition again this time." The leader of the Seven Stars Dao Palace, Shu Huijin Zhenren said with a smile. Teng Keli said unwillingly
: "Congratulations to fellow Daoist Shu, the Seven Stars Dao Palace is full of talents, and another Daozi has emerged."
Daozi is the most outstanding person among all the students of the three major Dao Palaces.
Any Daozi who can be recognized by the Dao Palace and pushed out must be an undisputed figure who can overpower all the students in the Dao Palace.
And whoever can enter the three major Dao Palaces is not a child of destiny.
Unless you really have the strength of a crushing level, it is impossible to convince all the students. The reason
why the Seven Star Dao Palace was able to win the final victory in this martial arts fight is because they have a new Seven Star Daozi. Seven
Star Sword Cultivator, Zhong Xinyue!
This 37-year-old, mid-stage foundation-building cultivator who has been studying in the Seven Star Dao Palace for 18 years, swept the scene with a Seven Star Sword Diagram, and no one could match him. All those who fought against him were defeated by him in a few seconds.
Although there are also people in the Natural Dao Palace and the Hundred Weapons Dao Palace who have practiced the Hundred Swords Diagram.
However, when facing the Seven Star Dao Palace's inherited secret method, the Seven Star Sword Diagram, they were instantly disrupted and defeated.
The existence of the Seven Star Daozi Zhong Xinyue seems to be to explain what it means to be truly invincible at the same level.
Facing such a Daozi-level student, the two Jindans were also very desperate.
There was no way. The position of Daozi was not easy to get. It was guaranteed to appear at any time.
Sometimes, it was normal not to see a Daozi for ten years.
Nowadays, there were no Daozi in Baibing Dao Palace and Ziran Dao Palace of Shuiyuan Star.
Master Shu Huijin smiled and said, "Since you two have no objection, I will let Qixing Daozi take the crown." Master Teng Keli's face was as
gloomy as water. This was an elite exchange meeting held in his own territory, but he was really embarrassed to not be able to keep the martial arts crown.
However, in the world of cultivating immortals, strength is respected, and he was helpless.
However, at this moment, Zhongli Zhili suddenly said, "Wait a minute."
Shu Huijin wondered, "What?"
Zhongli Zhili said slowly, "I remember the rules of martial arts, there is also a saying of foreign aid."
"That's right." Shu Huijin smiled and said, "But are you sure that the literary students of your Ziran Dao Palace are better than the martial arts students?"
According to the rules, students of the same batch can participate in martial arts.
Including the seven students who were good at literature among the hundred arts of the immortal family.
After all, some students were so amazing that they could be invincible in both literature and martial arts.
Zhongli Zhili laughed and said, "We'll know if we can win if we give it a try."
Shu Huijin looked at him deeply and said, "Well, just wait a little longer. If you are not afraid of losing face, let the seven people come and try whether the palm sword of my Seven Star Taoist is sharp."
Zhongli Zhili was about to speak when suddenly someone rushed in.
It was a foundation building student. Zhongli Zhili recognized this person because he was the one who was assigned by Master Teng Keli to entertain Xu Jun.
Seeing this person's slightly panicked but overjoyed face, Zhongli Zhili's heart skipped a beat.
Xu Jun lost?
However, in the art of formation, if he lost, he lost. If Master Sheng had not been making excuses and he did not want to offend people of the same level, there would be no need for Xu Jun to represent the art of formation in the literary competition.
However, the man came in front of Master Teng Keli and used his spiritual sense to say a few words.
At this moment, Zhongli Zhili and Shu Huijin were very restrained, restraining their spiritual senses and not listening.
With their powerful spiritual senses that were one realm higher, even if they just released their spiritual senses as usual, they would not have to deliberately listen to what the man was saying.
However, the two of them were proud of their status and would never do such a disrespectful thing in such an occasion.
However, after hearing this, Teng Keli was obviously surprised.
"Really?"
"Absolutely true." The foundation-building master said with infinite joy: "The master of the formation department has been alarmed and has personally checked and confirmed it."
Teng Keli's eyes were bright, and he suddenly laughed out loud, sweeping away the negative emotions caused by the defeat of the Dao Palace students.
Zhongli Zhili couldn't help asking: "Daoyou Teng, what are you so happy about?"
Teng Keli put away his smile, suddenly clasped his fists to Zhongli Zhili, and said: "Daoyou Zhongli, thank you very much."
Zhongli Zhili looked suspicious. Was this old rival crazy?
They were of similar age, both were geniuses in physical cultivation, and had similar backgrounds. Therefore, since they first met, they were destined to be the biggest rivals in this life.
In the past two or three hundred years, they didn't know how many times they had fought. Although they had won and lost, the grudges made them extremely disgusted with each other.
It was not an exaggeration to say that they were old rivals and mortal enemies.
And now, this guy actually bowed to him and thanked him... Zhongli Zhili suddenly felt that he was a little uncomfortable.
Teng Keli said loudly: "The literary competition of the formation department has ended. Xu Jun, who you brought with you, fellow Daoist Zhongli, is worthy of being a genius in the formation department and won the first place in the formation department."
Shu Huijin's eyes flashed slightly. She didn't know much about Xu Jun. After all, this name was only famous in the Natural Dao Palace.
Moreover, under the intentional or unintentional blockade of the Natural Dao Palace, it had indeed never spread.
However, Xu Jun was the only Qi training cultivator among all the participants of the three Dao Palaces, so Shu Huijin had also heard of him.
The first place in the Qi Refining Period, although not the first place in the martial arts competition, but the first place in the formation of the literary competition, is already an extremely rare thing.
"Fellow Daoist Zhongli, congratulations to the Natural Dao Palace for getting another talented person." Shu Huijin said with a smile.
Zhongli Zhili's face became more and more suspicious. Our family won the first place, why are you happier than me?
Teng Keli said again: "Xu Jun is a very generous child. After he got the first place, he did not hide his knowledge, but carefully instructed Ni Lilan. Little Ni is also very motivated. He suddenly realized the mystery of the formation on the spot, and then arranged a third-level spirit gathering formation."
"What?" Zhongli Zhili was stunned and said: "Foundation Building Cultivation, laid a third-level formation?"
"That's right." Teng Keli said solemnly: "All this depends on Xu Jun's guidance. Don't worry, when he leaves, our Baibing Dao Palace will definitely show something." At
this moment, Zhongli Zhili and Shu Huijin were a little jealous.
Formation!
A formation master who can lay a third-level formation when he is building his foundation.
How come such a talent doesn't appear in my family?
Zhongli Zhili grinned and cursed in his heart. Xu Jun, you are such a traitor. Why do you carefully guide other people's geniuses?
I heard that Ni Lilan is a woman. Could it be...
At this moment, several people came from outside, one of whom was Xu Jun.
Zhongli Zhili flashed and came to Xu Jun's side. His consciousness moved slightly and said, "Xu Jun, did you guide Ni Lilan's formation?"
Xu Jun hesitated. I have guided her? How did I guide her?
However, facing the dean's inquiry, he had no choice but to nod his head.
Zhongli Zhili looked at him with a complicated expression and said slowly, "After you go back, guide those idiots in the formation department more, and also give me a foundation-building person who can lay a third-level formation."
Xu Jun looked up suddenly, with a look of horror on his face.
Foundation-building can lay a third-level formation!
Dean, you don't understand what this means.
I have guided Ni Lilan.
But the problem is, even I can't figure out why I was talking about a second-order illusion array, and I only mentioned the main array eye, and then talked nonsense.
That woman was able to get an epiphany, and then somehow set up a third-order... Qi Gathering Array.
Is there any universality between this illusion array and the Qi Gathering Array?
In addition to the fact that they are both arrays, Xu Jun really can't figure out what the two arrays have in common.
Just like sword cultivators, body cultivators, and thunder cultivators, they are all cultivators.
But can their cultivation methods be the same?
However, looking at Dean Zhongli's somewhat fierce eyes, Xu Jun really couldn't explain it.
Shu Huijin smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhongli, if you need any foreign aid from the students who are fighting for literature, why not go and ask them if their fighting for literature is over?"
Zhongli Zhili retracted his gaze and said, "No need to ask, it's over."
"Ah, what?"
Zhongli Zhili pointed at Xu Jun and said, "The foreign aid I'm talking about is this guy. If he also loses to your Seven Star Daoist, then I admit that your Seven Star Dao Palace won the first place in the fighting at this elite exchange meeting."
The atmosphere in the martial arts hall suddenly froze.
Countless eyes fell on Xu Jun.
