"I never expected that Li Qing'an's array formation skills would have improved so much in just ten years!"
The Ghost King looked at the multicolored light screen and sighed, "It seems that there will be some twists and turns in today's events!"
Qinglong watched as the Blackwater Serpent and the Yellow Bird, who had barely joined forces for the sake of the treasure vault, relentlessly bombarded the formation, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gan3kai3, a complex emotion encompassing both admiration and sorrow).
"Sect Master, Li Qing'an has probably already entered that treasure vault! And there is a priceless treasure in that vault. If he has it, we may not be able to complete our mission today!"
The Ghost King shook his head and analyzed, "The outcome is still uncertain!"
"Li Qing'an is still in that treasure vault, not yet coming out. He's probably still processing the opportunities he's gained!"
"If we take advantage of this time to subdue them, we might still have a chance!"
The Ghost King has made his decision; he cannot give up so easily.
The Yellow Bird and his Four Spirits Blood Array are closely related, and the Four Spirits Blood Array is an important factor in ensuring that he can completely unify the Holy Sect and take the Holy Sect to a higher level.
Youji didn't speak, but listened to them talking, her eyes fixed on the direction of the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury.
She always felt that it wouldn't be that easy.
These two giant beasts alone are enough to give them a hard time. If Li Qing'an comes out of seclusion in time...
The yellow bird has no chance of getting into their hands.
......
As Li Qing'an got into the swing of things, various kinds of knowledge began to surface in his mind, especially knowledge of array formations.
Thinking back to the beginning of Li Qing'an's array formation, back when Li Qing'an had not yet reached the fourth level of the Jade Purity Realm, he was looking at the books stored on Dazhu Peak.
The book describes Taoist magic the most, followed by swordsmanship, and lastly the various arts of cultivation.
The formation itself was only partially mentioned, with only a few fragments of information.
Unexpectedly, when Li Qing'an was accumulating cultivation time and preparing to break through to the fourth level of the Jade Purity Realm, he was blessed by the right time and observed the earth's vein energy, thus learning the first array runes!
Then, Xiao Luo, carrying the Luo Shu on his back, inexplicably appeared before him.
Everything seemed to be ordained by fate. Li Qing'an used the initial array runes as a foundation, and the faint runes on Xiao Luo's back as a reference; in addition, he continuously studied the earth's veins.
Finally, he mastered more and more array runes, and they became increasingly powerful.
Until he developed the Spirit Gathering Array, which raised the strength of the Qingyun Sect disciples by one level, and then developed a variety of arrays as protective measures.
Then, on the stone pillars of the underwater formation, he sensed the patterns left by Xiao Luo's ancestor.
From then on, his formations began to soar to new heights.
Compared to his swordsmanship, he undoubtedly devoted the most energy to formations.
After all, forging a new path is no easy task.
Moreover, it was about forging a path that had never been trodden before.
A path that encompasses Buddhism, Taoism, and even demons, and offers a glimpse into the ultimate mystery of cultivation—immortality!
Therefore, in recent years, while he was simply giving up, he also devoured his book collection, trying to find possible solutions.
It was only after being catalyzed by the first volume of the Heavenly Book that he finally understood for the first time where his future path lay!
"The True Secrets of Formation" is a method he developed for himself.
Once he takes it a step further, he might be able to research other cultivation methods that could lead to longevity.
There are countless paths to enlightenment, but only the path of formations—wouldn't that be a great pity?
Anyway, with certain system panels, all the other knowledge will become nourishment for him, allowing him to grow faster.
It was also during Li Qing'an's retrospective that the Dao of Arrays began.
In his mind, a sea of knowledge began to surge. One after another, related books, corresponding Taoist methods, and the energy of the earth veins were all reflected in his mind. Even the remaining incantations on the Xuanhuo Mirror that could trigger the Eight Desolate Xuanhuo Formation were all reflected in his mind. There were also the unknown incantations on the Zhuxian Sword Formation and the mysterious chants recited when the Kunlongque Formation was activated.
All of this was vividly clear in his mind.
Using incantations to activate the formation?
Do you need to chant incantations to form a battle formation?
Why bother with all that trouble? Today, Li Qing'an is going to forge a completely new path.
He wanted to completely imprint his mark on the cultivation system of the Immortal Execution world!
The more critical the moment, the calmer Li Qingan became!
This is a characteristic brought about by the nearly 100-fold increase in cultivation effect. He began to forget what he wanted to do, broke free from his own obsessions, and his mind began to reach a point of complete harmony with the laws of nature!
Riding the energy of heaven and earth, mastering the six qi!
That's it!
Li Qingan felt his vision constantly shifting.
In a daze, I felt as if I were a flower or a leaf on that sacred tree, a drop of morning dew on its branches, surrounded by thick fog.
Or perhaps it is that enormous, thick tree, hundreds of feet long, reaching straight into the sky.
The state of perfect humanity has begun!
In a state of detachment, one abandons emotional fluctuations such as favor or disgrace, gain or loss.
In the "Discourse on the Equality of Things" in Zhuangzi: "The great marsh cannot be heated by fire, the Milky Way cannot be cooled by ice, and thunder can shatter mountains and shake the seas without alarming people!"
This is even more divine than that of a human!
Li Qingan calmly and methodically sorted through the knowledge of formations in his mind!
She was ethereal and graceful, completely at ease, with a heart as still as water!
Her entire demeanor has changed from being calm, easygoing, and confident to being serene and slightly condescending.
But it wasn't about treating people unfairly; rather, it was about having an air of superiority that seemed to see right through what others were thinking.
They inspire respect and admiration, yet unconsciously distance themselves from them!
Lu Xueqi watched quietly from the side, her clear and bright eyes rippling with emotion.
That's the feeling, the suffocating feeling!
It also made her feel anxious and apprehensive.
A white halo emanated from Li Qing'an's body, and spiritual energy surged towards him in an overwhelming manner!
If an ordinary person were to allow so much spiritual energy to flow in, their meridians would probably be severed long ago.
Only Li Qing'an, who had cultivated both the "Sun and Moon Shining Together Technique - Sun Essence Chapter" and the "Sun and Moon Shining Together Technique - Moon Essence Chapter," possessed strong meridians and smooth spiritual energy circulation, enabling him to absorb a large amount of spiritual energy!
Even Zhang Xiaofan, who had cultivated the "Sun Essence Chapter," dared not absorb spiritual energy in this way.
Lu Xueqi held Tianya in her hand, staring intently at the sachet that Li Qingan always wore at his waist.
His expression clearly relaxed somewhat.
Outside the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury!
The rumbling sound continued.
It's quite a coincidence, perhaps because the Ghost King and his group arrived later than Li Qing'an.
The Dragon-Trapping Formation they set up was located in a flower garden outside the Five Elements Formation.
As long as the yellow bird is lured here, it can be trapped in the formation.
Gui Li, who had not shown himself until now, also appeared near the flowerbed.
Gui Li, holding a soul-capturing staff and wearing a black robe, stood not far from the flowerbed, watching the hidden Ghost King.
"Sect Master, we're too late! We couldn't get into the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury!"
The Ghost King glanced at Ghost Li, then turned his gaze to the two giant beasts that were still bombarding the formation.
"It's alright, your senior brother Li Qing'an is here, your arrival won't make much difference."
"Besides, our goal isn't that rare treasure! If we can't get it, so be it!"
Gui Li's face beneath his black robe remained unchanged; he simply nodded in utter indifference.
After talking with Li Qing'an, he realized that the third volume of the Heavenly Book was already within easy reach, so he didn't put in as much effort.
Otherwise, if he were to face Li Qing'an, would he make a move or not?
Ordinary people might not know, but he himself knew he was no match for Li Qing'an.
As the leading figure among the younger generation of the Holy Church, he did this for the sake of morale and prestige.
Those Holy Sect elders who knew the importance of things would not allow Gui Li to tarnish his reputation.
Can't beat them? Who said that?
Did they fight?
Don't just spout nonsense! Over the years, have you actually put in the effort? Have your skills improved? Reflect on yourself more!
Chapter 200 The Wrong One Was Captured! The Ghost King Who Wanted to Kill!
That's why Gui Li knew the Ghost King wouldn't say much, so he led the Ghost King Sect disciples to subdue the Longevity Hall disciples.
You should know that he also possesses the Yin-Yang Mirror magic weapon.
As we all know, Yu Yangzi was killed by Li Qing'an, who was also Gui Li's senior brother, so it's reasonable that he was able to get his hands on the Yin-Yang Mirror!
With this magic weapon, he was able to recruit more disciples of the Longevity Hall as his subordinates.
His status in the Ghost King Sect will be even higher, and who knows, one day when the Ghost King dies...
He actually became the sect leader of the Ghost King Sect.
In the meantime, after three years, and then another three years, and who knows how many three-year periods, he will become the leader of the Holy Church!
Looking at Li Qing'an, the leader of the righteous path, from afar, it seems not so bad!
Gui Li thought to himself!
Qinglong then spoke up, "Sect Master, shall we make our move now?"
"There's no time to lose! We can't wait any longer, lest Li Qing'an emerge from seclusion and something unexpected happens!"
