Chapter 289: Listening to the Spirit
Wu Yan frowned and pondered, watching the thirteen cultivators who had been bombarding for more than an hour in turn. At the call of the old man in green robe, they stopped bombarding and gathered in the air outside the thunder zone, as if to discuss something.
Wu Yan showed a trace of doubt on his face. After a little hesitation, he gritted his teeth, slapped the spirit beast bag, and summoned a sky-swallowing worm. After casting several spells on the sky-swallowing worm, the worm actually emitted bursts of black light and turned into an ordinary gray-white beetle the size of a fingernail, which was inconspicuous and spiritual.
After the worm became smaller, Wu Yan's mind moved, splitting a trace of spiritual consciousness and sinking into the body of the worm. Then, Wu Yan used the method told by Greedy Wolf to break a gap in the protective formation, released the little worm, and with a move of mind, the little worm fled towards the group of cultivators without hesitation.
After doing all this, Wu Yan showed a trace of anxiety on his face, staring at the little bug that quietly escaped to the group of cultivators.
This little magical skill was practiced by Wu Yan when he was in seclusion for ten years. When he was practicing the God-Splitting Art, he accidentally studied the Soul Controlling Technique left by the Soul Controlling Master, and practiced it on a whim.
He practiced this little magical skill because he felt that this little magical skill was a good secret technique for peeping, which might be useful in the future. He didn't expect that he would have to use it now. I just don't know if it will be discovered in front of so many Yuanying stage cultivators.
"The Soul Controlling Listening Technique" is the name of this technique. It means that the Soul Controlling Master uses the secret technique to transform the spirit insect he controls into an inconspicuous little insect, and then splits his own consciousness and hides it in the body of the little insect, making it hide in the place where he wants to peek, and uses his own consciousness to peek at other people's words and explore the news.
This little magical spell seems simple, but in fact, the requirements for practicing it are very demanding. It not only requires the cultivator to have a special spirit insect that is in tune with his mind and can accept the cultivator's magic power and change its form without resistance, but also requires the cultivator to practice the second level of the Soul-Splitting Technique and have the ability to hide.
The little insect swayed and flew to a place dozens of feet away from the group of cultivators in a moment and hid in the clouds.
Perhaps this "Spiritual Listening Technique" really has a very powerful hiding effect, or perhaps the group of cultivators did not expect that someone would dare to play tricks in front of such a group of highly skilled Nascent Soul cultivators, and the little insect was hidden in the clouds and was not discovered.
After a few moments, Wu Yan's face suddenly changed slightly, and he hurriedly recalled the little insect. The little insect swayed and returned in a moment. After escaping into the formation, Wu Yan withdrew his consciousness, and then hit the little insect with several spells again.
Amidst the flashes of black light, the Sky Devouring Worm transformed into its original form again, but now it looked very damaged, floating listlessly in front of Wu Yan.
Wu Yan gently stroked the worm several times to appease and praise it, and then put it into the spirit beast bag. After doing this, Wu Yan closed his eyes and sank his consciousness into the sea of consciousness, checking the information that the wisp of consciousness had just seen.
After a while, Wu Yan opened his eyes with a sneer on his face, showing a look of "as expected".
It turned out that this group of cultivators belonged to three camps.
The old man in green robe was Xuan Qingzi, the supreme elder of the Northern Sword Sect. Among the cultivators, there were two people named Xuan Huangzi and Xuan Baizi, who were also supreme elders of the Northern Sword Sect. These three people and the four brothers Qi Fu, Qi Lu, Qi Shou and Qi Yuan, the four immortals of Penglai Island, had just come out of the life and death retreat. The Northern Sword Sect is close to Penglai Island, and there are some dirty things inside the two sects that are unknown to outsiders. The relationship between these seven people seems to be quite close.
When the six righteous sects merged, these seven people did not come out to pay attention, but this time they heard that the leader of the Immortal Sword Sect and the commander of the Demon Palace had found a way to break into the "Wanshou Immortal Palace" with the joint efforts of the sect leader of the Immortal Sword Sect.
After this news was passed back by the sect monks in their Immortal Sword Sect, the seven people could not sit still, so they went out together and prepared to go to find out.
When Xuan Qingzi and the other three went to Penglai Island, it happened that six Yuanying monks from Zizhu Island in the South Sea of Wuyahai came to visit the Four Immortals of Penglai, hoping to join forces with them to investigate the truth of the "Wanshou Immortal Palace".
Zizhu Island is far away in the South China Sea. The reason why the six people came to look for the Penglai Four Immortals of Penglai Island is that they have always had a bad relationship with the Lingnan Demon Palace. In desperation, they turned to the Penglai Four Immortals, hoping to form an alliance with the Xianjian Sect through them.
However, among the thirteen people, Xuan Qingzi's cultivation level is higher than their two small realms, which caused the six cultivators of Zizhu Island to be very afraid. When bombarding the shield, they did not use their full strength.
Just now, in order to work together to break the formation as soon as possible, Xuan Qingzi promised in person that once the formation was broken and the dragon monster was killed, he would share the gains with the six people, which dispelled some of the six people's doubts.
However, Wu Yan could see that their alliance was formed for the sake of profit and was not reliable. Perhaps the six cultivators of Zizhu Island did not expect that Xuan Qingzi and other three cultivators of the Northern Sword Sect had such a close relationship with the Penglai Four Immortals, which gave rise to a great sense of fear.
From the few words they just said, Wu Yan learned that the Four Immortals of Penglai and the six cultivators from Zizhu Island had only met each other a few times during their sea expeditions and did not have a very deep friendship.
From the words of Xuan Qingzi and the Four Immortals of Penglai, Wu Yan had an illusion that they also did not trust these six people. Xuan Qingzi even used words to test them and asked about the relationship between the six people on Zizhu Island and the Demon Palace. It seems that Xuan Qingzi and others also have doubts. They are also worried that these six people may be cultivators recruited by the Demon Palace.
The thunder tribulation caused by the Dragon King's transformation is much louder than the transformation tribulation of ordinary monsters. This is why the thirteen Yuanying stage cultivators who were originally in a hurry to rush to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain stayed here, wanting to take advantage of the fire to kill the Dragon King and seize precious materials such as dragon soul, dragon scales, dragon tendons, and dragon blood.
These things are so precious that even if a Yuanying stage cultivator encounters them, he will be tempted.
After the attack, as they expected, even the Yuanying stage cultivators could not break the protective forbidden formation arranged here. It can be imagined how powerful and precious the dragon monster inside is.
Wu Yan had just put away the swallowing worm, and the thirteen Yuanying stage cultivators had finished their plot and flew back again.
This time, the attack of the crowd was obviously much more fierce than before.
The four immortals of Penglai, after standing in four directions, actually used an attack method of "Kuishui Ganglei Formation". Originally, when each Kuishui Ganglei ball fell, it could only splash out more than a hundred water mines to bombard the protective formation, but the four people worked together to set up the formation, and in an instant, the splashing water mines reached thousands of them. The power was more than several times stronger than that of an individual attack? It was simply dozens of times stronger.
This made the cultivators of the Northern Sword Sect and the Purple Bamboo Island show a look of horror and fear.
It seems that even Xuan Qingzi of the Northern Sword Sect did not expect that these four brothers, who had been in seclusion for a hundred years, could actually develop such a powerful joint attack formation.
Not to mention the cultivators of Zizhu Island, their faces were gloomy and very ugly.
As a result, the destructive power of the Four Immortals of Penglai became the greatest. In just a few moments, the shield where the four of them jointly bombarded actually showed fine cracks.
Wu Yan was shocked and did not dare to hesitate. He fled over. Under the crazy injection of demonic energy, a strong black light suddenly shot out from the "Demon Feather Hunyuan Mirror" and shone suddenly at the cracks.
The cracks strangely recovered slowly under the illumination of this black light.
The Four Immortals of Penglai never expected that a small cultivator in the early stage of the Jindan period could control the magic weapon of the big dog just now and repair the cracks. They were immediately furious and their attacks became more violent and fierce.
Wu Yan secretly complained in his heart.
This "Demon Feather Mixed Origin Mirror" consumes too much demonic energy. In just a few moments, although the shield was repaired, the blood evil demonic energy in his body was consumed by 60% to 70%.
He had no pills to replenish demonic energy for him to swallow. Usually, the cultivation of demonic energy depends on meditation and refining energy, and slowly replenishing it through cultivation. This consumption is really consumed. If you want to replenish it, it will be difficult to recover without meditation for more than ten days.
If the shield is cracked again, he will really be helpless.
"Young man, open the protective formation quickly, otherwise, when I break this formation, I will definitely extract your soul and refine your spirit!" At some point, Xuan Qingzi actually escaped to the side of the Four Immortals of Penglai, stared at Wu Yan in the protective formation fiercely, and threatened him with telepathy.
This protective formation was quite magical. Although the spiritual thoughts of the cultivators outside the formation could be transmitted through the protective formation, their spiritual thoughts and spiritual pressure and means of controlling the enemy were all banned outside the formation and could not penetrate in. Therefore, although Wu Yan was frightened by his powerful spiritual thoughts, he was not oppressed or restrained.
Wu Yan looked at Xuan Qingzi expressionlessly. Although Xuan Qingzi's eyes were murderous, Wu Yan did not dodge at all.
After a little contemplation, Wu Yan gritted his teeth and took out the demon-transforming talisman from the storage bag.
He injected his mana into the talisman, and after it flashed with a burst of spiritual light, he slapped it hard on his body, and then continued to hold high the "Demon Feather Mixed Mirror" in his hand, no longer paying attention to the cultivators outside the formation, but concentrating on wandering in the formation, repairing the shields with fine cracks in other places with black light.
Xuan Qingzi was despised by such a small cultivator, and his face immediately became extremely gloomy. He was furious and kept disturbing Wu Yan with his divine thoughts, while controlling the green giant sword to fiercely bombard the shield.
At this time, the six cultivators from Zizhu Island gathered together, and also bombarded the same place with their magic weapons, but they were obviously communicating with their divine thoughts, and their eyes flickered and looked at Wu Yan from time to time.
"Are you a cultivator from the Demon Palace?" At this time, a strange divine thought came from the direction of the group of Zizhu Island cultivators and reached Wu Yan's heart.
