Chapter 261: Hunyuan Formation, Broken Soul Valley
The armored soldiers cleared the way, the four horses were galloping, the cloud chariot was rumbling, the north wind was whistling, the swords and armors were clashing, Wu Yi was like a god king on a tour, with extraordinary momentum and majesty like a prison.
The cloud chariot was speeding, but it was extremely stable. Wu Yi sat cross-legged on it, closed his eyes and rested. He finally accepted Zhi Tianxuan's suggestion and issued an edict to fight ghosts.
At this time, he was thinking about how to fight ghosts. Hundreds of six Ding gods were enough for him to set up many formations, but many formations required external objects such as formation flags and formation diagrams, so there were not many formations to choose from.
Suddenly, Wu Yi's eyes flashed, and he had a plan in his mind. He used the jade hammer on the railing to gently knock on the jade plate twice. The jade plate made a crisp and pleasant sound, and the whole team stopped immediately. The so-called command was enforced, but it was just like this.
A divine general wearing a red cape behind him bowed to Wu Yi and said in a muffled voice: "What do you want, my lord?"
He was the leader of this team. In terms of strength, he was as strong as a great elixir cultivator, and his intelligence was much higher. He was dissatisfied with Wu Yi, a foundation-building cultivator, commanding him, but due to Zhi Tianxuan's order, he had never confronted Wu Yi head-on.
Wu Yi looked around and saw that it was all desolate and sparsely populated. In fact, except for the area near Xishanling where Zhi Tianxuan used his divine power to drive away the dead air, there were many desolate places in the Western Regions, and the population was less than that of a county in Zhongzhou.
Wu Yi said: "This is the place. Come down quickly and I will teach you how to perform the formation."
"The soldiers are proficient in all the formations of Yin and Yang, Three Talents, Four Symbols, and Five Elements. I wonder which formation the lord wants to perform?" The divine general lowered his brows and said slowly.
Wu Yi stared at his drooping brows and said, "A formation that can kill ghosts."
The general knew that Wu Yi was dissatisfied, so he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He shouted heavily from his chest, "Landing——"
The sound of armor clashing came, uniform and murderous. With such momentum, it doesn't look like a hundred people, even if it's tens of millions of people, it's not far behind.
When the group landed, Wu Yi left the cloud car, his spiritual energy surged, and he sketched in the air, evolving a square formation diagram, and then he shook his whole body with his energy and sent the formation diagram to the sky.
The formation diagram was like a curtain, shaking, and it was actually ten miles in radius, with mysterious formation patterns entangled in it like spider silk.
Shan Hui, who was following behind Wu Yi, stared at it for a few times and felt a tremor in his heart. This diagram was extremely complicated, and there was a Taoist rhyme connected to it. If you don't understand the way of Xuanwen, you can't even see the overall situation.
The general watched Wu Yi perform his tricks. At first, he looked like he had nothing to do with it. A foundation-building cultivator showing off his tricks in front of a Jindan Zhenren was like showing off his sword in front of Guan Gong.
However, Wu Yi's act of shaking off the formation diagram into the sky still surprised the general at the majestic degree of Wu Yi's spiritual energy. This move was naturally very easy for him, but it was extremely difficult for a foundation-building cultivator. His face became more serious and he looked at the formation diagram above his head.
Seeing that his actions were somewhat useful, Wu Yi exhaled a breath of turbid air. Strength is respected in the army. Since ancient times, if a general cannot even suppress his soldiers, let alone command them to go to war.
"Isn't this the Four Symbols Formation?" The God General's doubtful voice came, Wu Yi's mouth corners rose, knowing that he would ask this question, he replied lightly: "Take a closer look."
The God General's golden eyes shot out divine light, and the sky formation map was divided into four parts, each of which looked full of charm, evolving into four divine beasts: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise. Anyone with some eyesight can see it.
The God General scanned for a long time, but still couldn't see the mystery. Wu Yi laughed "inappropriately", and the God General looked ashamed and dared not underestimate Wu Yi again.
Wu Yi pointed out: "Look at the intersection of the four parts."
From then on, the initial outline of the formation slowly changed in his eyes. The four beasts disappeared and became extremely strange, like a big bag, dark and swallowing everything. He had never seen this formation before, so he asked humbly: "What formation is this?"
"Hunyuan formation." Wu Yi's confident voice came, and then he shouted: "Arrange the formation." The voice was rumbling, and in terms of momentum, it was not inferior to the general.
Wu Yi bypassed the general and gave orders directly to the divine soldiers. This was a division of power. However, after the general understood that Wu Yi had a deep attainment in the art of formation, he did not obstruct him. He listened to his orders and volunteered to arrange the formation.
The divine soldiers and generals have their own training. For example, one person can evolve a formation that ordinary people cannot enter for days or even months in a few hours.
Wu Yi watched from the side, and when he saw that it was almost done, he sent a blood demon to break through the formation. The blood demon was not very intelligent and acted on instinct, but he had rich combat experience and was not much weaker than his peers.
Wu Yi was proficient in the Hunyuan Formation after all, and he directly controlled the blood demon to rush left and right in the formation. Although it cost a lot and the blood demon was almost half-crippled, he finally broke through.
The general was extremely ashamed and scolded his men, looking for the previous loopholes. After practicing many times, Wu Yi sent another blood demon in, and finally broke through, but without the supplement of the demon king's blood essence, this blood demon would have been useless.
He still failed to kill the blood demon, and the general aroused his warlike heart in his heart. After practicing for more than three days, he felt that he had finally mastered the formation. He immediately saluted Wu Yi and said: "Please try again, lord."
The third blood demon was wiped out by the surging formation force after entering the formation for only a few breaths. Although he lost a blood demon, compared with the mastery of the formation by the divine soldiers and generals, all the losses were worth it.
Wu Yi showed a satisfied smile and said: "Let's set off to the Valley of Broken Souls."
"Yes." The soldiers answered in unison, and the sound shook the sky and the clouds dispersed.
After getting on the cloud car again, Wu Yi looked back at Xishanling. Xishanling is indeed the largest mountain in the Western Region. This place is at least three or four hundred miles away from Xishanling, but it is still clearly visible.
Xishanling is high and steep, with a majestic situation. It is connected to the spiritual vein below and the sky above. The smoke is curling up, and the clouds can hardly cover its traces.
This scene is invisible to people in the mountains, and it feels like a blind man touching an elephant. Once you get out of the mountain, you can see clearly.
Broken Soul Valley, originally there was no such place in the Western Region. It is said that during the war that year, a sword saint accumulated power to strike. After killing the enemy, he had not exhausted his strength and drew this valley on the ground.
About five hundred miles away from the Broken Soul Valley, the dark air can be seen in front of him, and the line of sight is less than ten miles. Wu Yi put a group of divine soldiers and generals and the cloud car into the divine talisman. The place ahead is where ghosts gather. Such a show is asking for trouble.
Like an ordinary person, Wu Yi stepped inside. Shan Hui, who was behind him, looked at the dark clouds and turbid waves in the distance, and hesitated to move forward. But seeing that Wu Yi had gone far away, she hurriedly followed him. If she left Wu Yi, she would definitely die.
Entering the area covered by the dark clouds, Shan Hui was surprised to find that there was actually not much difference between the inside and the outside. She couldn't help but feel relieved, but she didn't know that it was Wu Yi's inner demon body that absorbed all the evil spirits around her and also collected blood for her. Otherwise, in the place where the golden elixir ghosts gathered, the cold Yin Qi would freeze her to death.
The inner demon body was originally a kind of inner ghost. Entering this place was like a tiger entering the forest and a dragon entering the sea. It was very adaptable. What surprised Wu Yi was that his human body did not feel any discomfort. The soul that had been transformed into the netherworld Dharma body had a natural affinity for Yin Qi, just like soaking in a hot spring, very comfortable.
After walking for several miles in the Soul-Breaking Valley, one could faintly see a series of ferocious and terrifying ghost faces changing shapes above his head. Inscriptions like pearls and jades were leaping in the yin energy, shining like glass, telling the way of ghosts. This was the ghost king gaining enlightenment. As for ordinary evil ghosts, they could be seen almost everywhere, floating around and choosing people to devour.
Wu Yi used the netherworld eyes to see through the front, and saw a series of powerful yin energy stirring up the land. It should be the ghost king, densely packed, and extremely creepy.
Handing the talisman to the inner demon body for safekeeping, Wu Yi said to Shan Hui: "There are countless ghosts inside. You step back and let me go in to explore. If I don't return, you can leave on your own."
Wu Yi actually dismissed her. Shan Hui widened her eyes and couldn't believe it. But after all, she had been with Wu Yi for several days, so she didn't forget to remind Wu Yi to be careful before leaving.
Shan Hui retreated far away, and her inner demon followed her. When she left a hundred miles away, she hid herself and did not take the opportunity to escape. Wu Yi chuckled and said nothing more. He retracted his inner demon. If they did not work together at this time, the progress would be unimaginable.
Without Shan Hui, the burden, Wu Yi's two bodies advanced together and arrived at the side of the Soul-Broken Valley within a few hours. After thousands of years, sword marks can still be vaguely seen here. If you touch it, there will even be a compelling sword energy shooting out, which shows the sharpness of the means of the great power back then.
The Soul-Broken Valley is actually not big, only a hundred acres in size, but it is blocked by thick yin energy on the periphery. I don't know what the valley is like. Wu Yi is looking down at the valley below at this time. It is unknown how deep it is. The breath of the ghost king he saw before was all emitted from here. It is a real ghost cave.
The Netherworld Dharma Body completely concealed the blood and qi of the human body, and its aura was more like a ghost than that of a ghost, but Wu Yi had no intention of using his human body to investigate. When it came to investigation, the strange Heart Demon Body was the most useful.
The Heart Demon Body turned into a wisp of smoke and drifted down, like a yin energy, not attracting any attention at all. After going down a hundred feet, he noticed the traces of the Ghost King. Under the Soul-Breaking Valley, almost all of them were ghosts at the level of the Ghost King.
A waterfall formed by the extremely condensed yin energy flowed down from the top, making a rumbling sound. This was the only sound Wu Yi heard besides the roar of the ghost.
Wu Yi continued to explore, but found something strange. It turned out that under the Soul-Breaking Valley, there were not only ghosts, but also zombie Yaksha, with green faces and fangs, and extremely hideous. They lay there straight, without any vitality, but the yin energy pouring in like a spring told Wu Yi that this was a zombie, a real zombie.
I dare not look too much, for fear of waking up the zombies. The inner demon body is like a feather, floating down. It took me about half a day to roughly explore the Soul-breaking Valley.
Including zombies, there are nearly 500 ghost zombies in the Soul-breaking Valley. Fortunately, no ghosts at the Yuanying level were found, otherwise the inner demon body might not be discovered.
Wu Yi was not sure that the Hunyuan Formation could swallow this number in one fell swoop, so he had to use the method of dividing and breaking it.
It is necessary to attract the ghost zombies out. Wu Yi thought.
