Chapter 406 Black Evil Mist
The reason why Meng Zhou sighed was that the performance of Xingxiu Palace was too poor.
In the face of such a shocking change, from the guards of the Jindan to the several Yuanying Zhenjun, it cannot be said that there was no reaction, but it was far from the lightning-fast reaction Meng Zhou expected.
Everyone's choice was a little too "cautious" and too "self-protective".
Xingxiu Palace, which looked decent and complete in all aspects at ordinary times, had problems all of a sudden when it needed the concerted efforts of the entire Xingxiu Palace.
However, after the initial shock, Meng Zhou found that this was not a difficult thing to understand.
Even when Meng Zhou connected the various dirty things hidden deep inside the Xingxiu Palace, he felt that it was the most normal phenomenon that people were not united and slow to react at critical moments.
September 30.
It was the seventh day after the upheaval began, and the spiritual storm that swept the entire Juye Wilderness had subsided.
Wumeng Sea has also become different from before. In the center of the sea area with a radius of thousands of miles, all the power within this sea area, whether it is the power of the evil veins that fills the entire sea area or the scattered spiritual lands dotted in between, has crossed the boundary between the third level and the fourth level.
This makes the Juye wilderness, which has become "abnormally active" due to the sudden spiritual storm, even more active.
Not only did the third-level monsters in Wumeng Sea rush to this sea area frantically, but also the third-level monsters in other third-level evil veins tens of thousands of miles away, or even 200,000 or 300,000 miles away, also rushed to this sea area like crazy.
Among them, the most active ones are the third-level monsters in the five third-level evil veins that are closest to Wumeng Sea and have become "necessary sacrifices" in the process of upgrading Wumeng Sea.
Although their intelligence is not high, the desire from the depths of their blood makes them make the most correct choice.
The fierce reaction shown by the cultivation world is no less than that of these third-level monsters that are completely dominated by blood.
Not only all the five ancestors who had been dormant until now all poured into this sea area, but even many of them had reached the late stage of Jindan, including some old monsters whose achievements were not inferior to those of the five ancestors, standing at the peak of Jindan, but were unknown and unknown, all rushed to this sea area with a radius of thousands of miles.
Their goal was very clear, that is, those scattered spiritual lands in this sea area.
These scattered spiritual lands, which were originally difficult for them to take a second look, have now become something that each of them is willing to risk their lives to fight for.
This is an opportunity to become a Taoist!
As for why Wumeng Sea has changed so much, is there any great threat or terror behind it that has not been revealed, and is there an invisible hand that they cannot see controlling all this behind the scenes...
Perhaps, every cultivator who came to this sea area had such an idea in his heart.
But in the end, they all made the choice with their feet without hesitation.
Even if there is a great terror, a great threat, or an invisible hand, all of this is nothing compared to the opportunity of enlightenment clearly in front of them!
Soon, this sea area of thousands of miles was thoroughly explored under the "concerted efforts" of so many forces.
More than a dozen scattered fourth-level spiritual lands, large and small, existing in this sea area were also exposed to everyone's eyes.
The number of spiritual lands is too small, and most of the spiritual lands cover a very small area, which cannot meet the needs of everyone.
A life-and-death battle seems to be imminent.
The atmosphere is becoming more and more depressing, and it seems that a stronger and stronger bloody smell is spreading in this sea area.
The situation that seems to be calm is actually on the verge of danger.
Now, it's just waiting for someone to react first, break this calm, and push the situation completely out of control.
However, this war did not break out after all.
Because at this moment, the Yuanying of Xingxiu Palace, who was almost "forgotten" by everyone, finally came.
Moreover, this time, the "latecomers" of the Xingxiu Palace Yuanying came four at once!
As the four Yuanying Zhenjun appeared in this sea area at the same time, they released their own auras without concealment, and a heavy pressure, from body to mind, pressed on all the cultivators in this sea area.
It was like a basin of icy cold water poured down from the top of each cultivator's head, and the fiery heart was almost broken in this drastic change!
However, the reactivated desire to seek the truth was not so easy to suppress.
All the cultivators who gathered in this sea area were at the peak of the Jindan stage, and they did not disperse immediately because of the arrival of the four Yuanying.
In the face of the pressure from the Xingxiu Palace Yuanying, some people showed their determination as a seeker of the truth, and some people wanted to try to contact the Xingxiu Palace Yuanying, but all of this was handled in a very simple way in front of the four Xingxiu Palace Yuanyings -
Kill!
Those who still don't know what's best for them should get out of here right now, as they will only face their blades!
The war did not break out, but only a one-sided massacre.
The result was the same. The bloody smell quickly spread throughout the sea area of thousands of miles.
In the face of the absolute gap in strength, no matter how resolute the belief is, it will become vulnerable.
Soon, the surviving Jindan did not hold on to the end and quickly fled from this sea area.
And all the cultivators who escaped from this sea area survived.
Because the four Xingxiu Palace Yuanying did not pursue them relentlessly, their purpose seemed to be just to expel the cultivators who entered this sea area.
After expelling a group of Jindan, the four Xingxiu Palace Yuanying did not get peace, because they had to expel not only those cultivators, but also the larger group of monsters gathered in this sea area.
Facing more numerous and more stubborn third-level monsters, the intimidation effect of killing was also weaker.
Therefore, in order to clear the third-level monsters in this sea area, even if the four Yuanying Zhenjun acted together, it took a lot of effort.
Then, the four of them threw twelve formation flags into this sea area.
Soon, with the twelve formation flags as the center, the endless fourth-order evil spirits were transformed by the formation flags and turned into endless black fog and spread out.
At first, the black fog was relatively light and covered a relatively small area.
But soon, the sea area of thousands of miles was covered by black fog, and the color became thicker and thicker as time passed.
When the four Yuanying Zhenjuns who had dealt with everything left the Juye Wilderness, the sea area in the Wumeng Sea that had just completed the sublimation from the third to the fourth level turned into a thick black, like a ball of thick ink dripping on the drawing paper, completely erasing the original information in it.
"Xingxiu Palace, you still can't underestimate it."
"The foundation is really too deep!"
Meng Zhou sighed in his heart.
Not long ago, he felt that the Xingxiu Palace, which had been subjected to too many calculations and plots, was like a big tree that was gradually eaten away by termites. It looked decent on the surface, but it was in danger of collapsing from the inside at any time.
But now, Meng Zhou felt that a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and a centipede is still alive even after death.
For example, the moment Meng Zhou saw these twelve formation flags, the memory of reading a large number of ancient books in his mind was quickly activated, and he also knew their origins.
That was the work of a certain generation of Yuanying ancestors of Xingxiu Palace, who was also a very talented fourth-level talisman formation master.
Its principle is quite similar to Meng Zhou's Fanlu Xinglian clone base formation.
A single formation flag is just a third-level top-grade magic weapon.
But if a large number of formation flags are combined into a formation, they can form a power beyond the third level.
And the purpose of researching this kind of formation flag is very simple-to consume a large amount of surplus third-level top-grade resources in the most reasonable way.
What a simple motive.
Because of this reason, Xingxiu Palace has far more than twelve such formation flags!
As time goes by, the number of these formation flags continues to increase.
"Tongming Round Mirror" has met its opponent.
After the four Yuanying Zhenjun left, Meng Zhou mobilized dozens of "transparent round mirrors" around this sea area and "closely photographed it".
But nothing was seen.
Reflected in the "interpretation world", the originally clear sea area turned into a large black mass as thick as ink.
"This is already a real fourth-level fog array!"
This "close-up" exploration of the "transparent round mirror" was not without results.
At least, Meng Zhou confirmed one thing, that the sea area that was successfully upgraded to the fourth level under his arrangement became the biggest reliance of this fog array.
It was precisely because of the continuous fourth-level evil spirit as a backing that the fog array formed by the twelve array flags truly possessed the power of the fourth level.
While exploring this "fog array", Meng Zhou also found that many Jindan cultivators gathered around this black fog again, and they were using their own and different methods to explore this black fog.
The result?
There was no result.
The more cautious ones would at most fail to find any results, while the more reckless ones would even lose their lives.
Meng Zhou saw with his own eyes that more than one cultivator's flesh and blood quickly melted under the erosion of the black mist, and even the most "stubborn" bones quickly turned into a faint dust and became part of the black mist.
The response of the four Yuanying Zhenjun made Meng Zhou's already somewhat slack attitude alert again.
Although the performance and response of Xingxiu Palace in this great change lost a lot of points in his eyes.
However, this cannot be a reason for him to take it lightly.
As for the fourth-level fog array itself, which was formed by the fourth-level evil spirit as the source, Meng Zhou was not very worried.
Because of sufficient preparation, this would not be an obstacle for him at all.
However, the time has not come yet.
"It's good this way, let them think that everything is still barely under control, which is also a good thing."
After confirming all this, Meng Zhou also temporarily withdrew his eyes from Wumeng Sea.
It’s not for any other reason, but because after the Juye Wasteland, the Lianlu Wasteland has once again set off a spiritual storm.
Hundreds of "Universal Beads" ignited a raging fire at an evil vein closest to the center of the wilderness with lightning speed.
