Asking about longevity

Chapter 646: Evil Formation Master (Thanks to the leader of Yu Tomb Boss~)

Seeing Mo Hua's "sudden realization" look, Gu Changhuai was slightly startled, "What did you see again?"

Mo Hua thought for a moment and said concisely:

"If my guess is correct, there should be a Yuanmagnetic Complex Formation in this Demonic Palace, which is used to coordinate the Yuanmagnetic Formation in the entire Demonic Cave, and at the same time monitor the spiritual power fluctuations in the temple, as well as other disturbances..."

Gu Changhuai and the other three looked at each other solemnly.

"That is to say..." Mo Hua continued, "Not only are we being guarded by these patrolling demonic cultivators, but we are also being monitored by the Yuanmagnetic Array in the dark and the invisible 'magnetic current'..."

"If you are careless, you may trigger the formation and be discovered by the magic cultivator."

"And we probably don't even know how we were discovered..."

Gu Changhuai frowned, "Is there any way to break this complex formation?"

Mo Hua shook his head, "The Yuan Magnetic Rejuvenation Formation should be at least seventeen lines or above. It's a bit beyond the scope. I can't crack it yet..."

Gu Changhuai felt a little pity.

He really thought that Mo Hua knew all the formations.

I didn’t expect that there were things he couldn’t do...

But then he changed his mind and felt something was wrong.

In the early stage of foundation building, formations above seventeen lines...

A bit..."super class"?

Gu Changhuai couldn't help but curse.

Is there such a thing as "super class"?

Does this child have any misunderstanding about the word "super class"?

But along the way, he had been surprised enough, and he was a little surprised.

Metamagnetic restoration array, array monitoring...

Gu Changhuai raised his head, looked at the heavily guarded Demon Palace in front of him, and said in a deep voice:

"If this is the case, we can only retreat first and then make long-term plans..."

Mo Hua frowned.

Retreat first and plan for the long term...

This will inevitably take more time.

The plan to let the Fire Buddha die within seven days came to nothing.

In more than seven days, I will have to go back to my sect to take classes, and it will be impossible to obtain the Meteor Fire Technique...

"It's not impossible..." Mo Hua thought for a while and said slowly: "We can try to find the center of the Yuan Magnetic Rejuvenation Formation..."

"The center of the formation?" Gu Changhuai asked.

"Yes." Mo Hua nodded, "The complex formation contains multiple single formations, which need to be coordinated and controlled by the core formation hub. The larger the formation, the more obvious the central formation hub is, and the more concentrated the formation functions are..."

"Destroy the center of the formation and the Yuan Magnetic Rejuvenation Formation will malfunction. It will be much easier for us to do things without having to look forward and backward to get in the way..."

"If you can control the center of the formation..."

Mo Hua's eyes were bright, "He can even turn against the guest and use the monitoring array in the Demon Palace for his own use..."

Gu Changhuai was shocked when he heard this.

Gu An and Gu Quan were also a little unbelievable.

The formation master... can still have such a method?

Gu Changhuai thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement:

"Okay, do as you say!"

"Um."

Without further ado, Mo Hua began to determine the location of the pivot of the Yuan Magnetic Complex Formation.

The Demon Palace is densely packed and the roads are complicated.

On the surface, there is no systematic metamagnetic formation.

But the formation medium is just a medium, and the formation patterns are just shapes.

The essence of the formation is still spiritual power.

Although it cannot be seen on the surface, the obscure spiritual energy traces of the formation are still clearly discernible in the spiritual consciousness.

Mo Hua let go of his spiritual consciousness, peered into the Yuan Magnetic Array, felt the connection between the formations, and thus judged the entire Yuan Magnetic Array system.

Occasionally, when the clues disappeared, he would use calculations to sense the weak magnetic current in the air.

From the "secondary thunder patterns" left by the magnetic current, we traced the source of the Yuan Magnetic Array in the entire outer hall, pulling out the carrots and pulling them out of mud, and found them all one by one.

These metamagnetic arrays are divided into different categories.

Some metamagnetic arrays can be distinguished in ink paintings.

Such as the commonly used Xiao Yuan Magnetic Array, or the Beacon Fire Yuan Magnetic Array, etc...

But there are some formations that are obscure and beyond the realm of spiritual consciousness in ink paintings. Although they can be found in ink paintings, they cannot see the details and cannot tell what formations they are.

But this has little impact.

These metamagnetic arrays are only used for "positioning" and are used to observe the flow direction of the array hub through the array layout.

After finding out the locations of all the magnetic formations in the outer hall.

The ink painting then deduces inversely based on the formation pattern to find the place where the magnetic energy converges.

The place where the metamagnetic energy converges is the direction of the array hub's overall control.

It's just that this process consumes both spiritual consciousness and time...

Gu Changhuai stood aside, silently looking at the ink paintings, feeling a little confused.

In his field of vision, the ink painting consisted of running east and west, stopping to look at the sky when nothing happened.

Or like a "little spirit dog", sniffing around, and then "seriously" finding a secondary formation and identifying the location of the formation hub...

But no matter where Gu Changhuai looked, the surrounding buildings were just ordinary buildings without any special marks.

If he hadn't known, Mo Hua's formation level would indeed be extraordinary.

He almost thought that Mo Hua was acting "without real objects" and pretending to deceive him...

Gu Changhuai was very confused.

After a while, Mo Hua pointed to a path in the outer hall and said flatly:

"That's where the magnetic energy converges."

Gu Changhuai finally couldn't bear it any longer and asked, "How could you tell..."

Halfway through the question, Gu Changhuai stopped.

He knew without thinking that Mo Hua would definitely say: "You can tell it at a glance..."

Gu Changhuai asked in another way: "Why can't I see it?"

After all, he is a golden elixir cultivator, and his spiritual consciousness should be stronger than his.

Mo Hua said matter-of-factly:

"You're not an array master, so of course you can't tell."

Gu Changhuai: "..."

He felt that this was not a problem with the formation master, but a problem with the ink painting.

However, Mo Hua ignored him and took the lead, walking along the path towards the place where Yuanci converged.

Gu Changhuai's eyes narrowed, he sighed, and could only follow silently.

At the end of the path is a wall.

The wall was made of solid stone with strange patterns carved on it and reinforced with formations, but it looked no different from walls elsewhere.

It's a secluded place with no one around.

The ink painting was touched and knocked, checking the entire wall inch by inch.

Then he walked to a wall tile with eyes engraved on it, and stopped to think.

There's something wrong with this wall tile...

The ink painting and the "eyes" engraved on the wall tiles looked at each other for a moment, then he took out the pen and ink, drew formation patterns around them, and untied the earth and stone formations reinforced on the wall tiles.

There were cracks around the entire wall tile.

Gu Quan stepped forward and took off the wall tiles, revealing a dark passage behind.

The passage is narrow, only half a person's height, and there is thick and rough blood and ink inside.

These inks are the traces of the formation pivot.

Mo Hua's eyes brightened slightly.

He was right.

Just like when he built the Five Elements Demon-Slaying Formation, since he needs to use the formation pivot to control all single formations, the pen and ink "trunk" of the formation pivot must connect the inner hall and the outer hall.

At the same time, these formation hubs must be hidden inside the building and cannot be exposed.

To avoid being targeted by "careful people" like myself.

But no matter how hard I hide it, I still can’t hide it from my clever self...

Mo Hua nodded proudly.

Next, we just need to follow the vine and find the central control of the complex formation through the "vine" of the formation hub...

The issue is……

Mo Hua looked at the entrance of the cave, then turned back to Gu Changhuai and the others and said, "You guys are too tall, it seems you can't get in..."

Gu Changhuai and the other three had complicated expressions.

They can't deliberately grow shorter just to drill this hole...

Mo Hua sighed, "There is nothing I can do. Let me go in and take a look..."

Gu Changhuai frowned, "Are you going alone?"

"It's okay," Mo Hua said, "This is the place where the formation pivot is hidden. I'm very familiar with it, so there won't be any danger..."

The formation hub must be kept secret.

Not only are they not allowed to be known to outsiders, but even their own people are prohibited from approaching.

The buildings near the formation hub will only have some early warning and protection measures when constructing the formation.

But these measures are not worth mentioning in the eyes of Mo Hua, who has built a large array.

Gu Changhuai said thoughtfully: "You can take Bone Shrinking Pill to shrink your body in a short time..."

"Shrinking Bone Pill?" Mo Hua was startled.

Is there such a thing?

There are so many strange things in the monastic world.

Mo Hua thought for a while, then shook his head and said:

"Shrinking your bones doesn't work either. The flow of spiritual power in the formation hub is chaotic and can easily radiate to the spiritual weapon, causing the formation on the spiritual weapon to become confused and ineffective..."

Mo Hua pointed at the jade pendant on Gu Changhuai's body, "I'm afraid the water hidden jade will be affected and unable to hide..."

Gu Changhuai's eyes darkened slightly.

He didn't expect this...

After all, he is not an formation master and does not have a deep understanding of such subtle formation principles.

"wrong……"

Gu Changhuai suddenly realized, "Our Water Hidden Jade is invalid and cannot be invisible. Isn't yours the same?"

"I'm different." Mo Hua said, "I know the art of concealment."

Gu Changhuai opened his mouth and lost his voice:

"When did you learn the art of invisibility?"

Mo Hua looked innocent, "I always know how to do it..."

Always will...

Gu Changhuai looked deceived and was speechless.

"You never asked me..."

Mo Hua muttered.

Uncle Gu didn't ask about things like concealment. There was definitely no need for him to tell him...

Gu Changhuai took a deep breath and glanced at Mo Hua, "Then I gave you Shuiyin Jade, why did you just accept it?"

"There's a lot more emphasis here..."

Mo Hua plausibly said: "According to my research, concealment spiritual weapons and concealment spells, when used at the same time, can have a double concealment effect, and the concealment effect is better..."

"The Devil's Cave is so dangerous. I, a young foundation-building monk, am walking on thin ice. Naturally, the more careful the means to save my life, the better..."

Gu Changhuai felt for a moment that what Mo Hua said made sense...

It's just that along the way, Mo Hua walked briskly, and he couldn't tell where he was "walking on thin ice"...

Gu Changhuai sighed.

There are bursts of yin energy and green light all around.

Under the stone corridor, there is thick and smelly rotten water flowing...

Being in the Demon Palace is not the time to dwell on such things.

Moreover, no matter how precious a hidden spiritual weapon is, it is indeed not as dangerous as the ink painting.

Gu Changhuai sighed: "Okay, just be careful..."

He thought for a while and added:

"After entering, if you are in danger, just shout for help and I will find a way to rescue you..."

Mo Hua was a little surprised, nodded and said:

"Don't worry, Uncle Gu."

Now that he has found the formation hub, the danger in this devil's cave has become a little smaller.

Then Mo Hua was alone, ducking into the array hub channel behind the wall, using his hands and feet together, following the veins of the array hub, slowly crawling towards the core of the Yuan Magnetic Array.

The stone path is narrow and narrow, and the terrain is sometimes gentle and sometimes vertical and steep.

It is also engraved with the pivot of the Yuan Magnetic Formation and some early warning formations.

Mo Hua avoided these formations, and at the same time used the passing water step, attaching spiritual power to his hands and feet, using his spiritual consciousness to pull him close to the wall, like a "little gecko", slowly advancing in the formation hub channel.

The magnetic current I sensed before was just a weak current.

So now the formation hub is like a surging river.

The flow of spiritual power is very clear.

Mo Hua knew where to go even with his eyes closed.

Following the flow of spiritual magnetism in the center of the formation, he walked forward like a gecko painted in ink. After walking for an unknown amount of time, he reached the end of the passage.

The passage is dim and the formation patterns cannot be seen.

But Mo Hua can sense with his spiritual consciousness that the flow of Yuanqi converges at the front end, and then coordinates downwards, controlled by a central controller.

The center of this complex formation is the main formation hub similar to a large formation, which controls the entire Yuan Magnetic Complex Array!

found it!

Mo Hua felt happy.

There's a little halo at the end.

Mo Hua used his hands and feet to climb to the end, stuck his little head out, and looked down through the gaps in the building.

As expected, there is indeed a secret room below with the main control center painted on it.

In the secret room, there are dense formations.

There is a unified formation disk in the middle, with the core formation pivot painted on the formation disk.

Mo Hua held his breath and used the Five Elements Concealment Technique to the extreme, then opened a pair of big watery eyes and peered down from the gap.

He saw that there was another person in the secret room.

This man was thin and tall, wearing an elegant and luxurious mysterious robe. His face was deathly pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face had deep nasolabial folds.

Like is similar.

As a formation master, Mo Hua could tell at a glance that this person was a superb formation master, and his aura was not correct, and his hands were stained with blood that could not be washed away.

He is an evil formation master.

A second-grade high-level evil formation master!

Mo Hua felt a little chilled in his heart.

The evil formation master was sitting in the secret room at the moment, drawing a bloody formation on his own. After a while, he raised his head and looked at the master control array panel in front of him, monitoring the movements in the Demon Palace.

Occasionally he would pick up the glass and take a sip of wine.

The wine was dark red, with a strange eye in it.

That eye would blink occasionally.

Mo Hua looked a little frightened, took another look at the evil formation master, and then silently looked away.

He was afraid of being discovered by this evil formation master, so he didn't look at it for too long.

After retracting his gaze, Mo Hua began to think silently.

"What should I do next..."

This evil formation master is in the late stage of foundation building and knows the nineteen pattern formation.

Mo Hua originally thought about competing with this formation master, but now it seems that he is superficial.

The second-grade nineteen lines are already the ultimate level of a normal second-grade formation master.

He is also an evil formation master, and he will definitely have some evil formation methods.

Normally, it doesn't seem to be comparable.

Moreover, this was in the Demon Palace, where dangers were everywhere, and there were no conditions for me to compete with him "normally".

It’s still business that matters.

The mere battles of victory and defeat can be put aside for now.

Mo Hua thought about it for a while and said silently:

"In that case, then find a way to assassinate this evil formation master first?"

It seems impossible not to kill.

He is an evil formation master who controls the Yuan Magnetic Complex Formation and monitors everything going on in the Demon Palace.

It is impossible to bypass him and enter the inner hall to find the Fire Buddha.

It’s not easy to catch them alive either.

Since he controls the Yuan Magnetic Formation, he must be proficient in the Yuan Magnetic Formation. There are many means of communication. If he is not careful, letting him send a message can easily lead to unintended consequences.

Therefore, we must first remove this "stumbling block"...

I won’t compare with him in terms of formation.

Although he is an array master, he is also a monk.

When monks seek immortality, they naturally put life and death first.

Knowing that you can't compete, but still taking risks and insisting on competing with others, isn't there something wrong with your brain...

Mo Hua nodded.

A fake duel between formation masters, a showdown in formations.

In a real duel between formation masters, kill the opponent first.

Then compare whose formation is better.

Even if he loses the formation in the end, the opponent also loses his life.

Make sure you make money!

Mo Hua silently made up his mind:

"Find a way to kill this evil formation master..."

But I can’t seem to kill him.

This evil formation master is a late-stage foundation-building monk. His cultivation level is much higher than his own, and he can't make much noise.

Mo Hua thought about it and felt that he didn't need to do this kind of thing himself.

"I can't kill you, but I have 'bodyguards'..."

Mo Hua then slowly exited from the center passage.

While returning the same way, he also released his spiritual consciousness, observed the surroundings, and combined with his understanding of the structure of the Demon Palace, roughly determined the location of the "Privy Chamber of the Magnetic Array".

Then Mo Hua followed the formation pivot passage and returned to the entrance of the outer hall.

Gu Changhuai and the other three were waiting outside. When they saw Mo Hua come back, they were relieved and then asked:

"How about it?"

Mo Hua nodded and said: "Found it! There is a secret room. In the secret room is the formation hub controller, and there is also an evil formation master supervising..."

"We need to secretly kill that evil formation master before we can attack the Yuanci Fuxing Formation..."

Gu Changhuai immediately asked: "Where is the secret room?"

Mo Hua said: "I remember the way, just follow me..."

"But before that, we need to discuss how to 'assassinate' the evil formation master. We need to do it quickly and not let outsiders discover it..."

Gu Changhuai thought for a moment and said:

"I have a second-grade high-quality short sword. There is a wind blade formation cast into the blade. It pierces the monk's heart and the spiritual power turns into a wind blade, which can crush his heart in an instant."

Mo Hua nodded.

Uncle Gu is still very reliable in this kind of thing.

However, to be on the safe side, Mo Hua still suggested:

"Uncle Gu, how about... you get some more poison? It's very poisonous, the kind that seals the throat when blood is seen. Just apply it on the knife..."

Gu Changhuai looked at the ink paintings silently.

Mo Hua whispered: "I have never done anything like this, just in case..."

Gu Changhuai was silent for a moment, then took out a bottle of poison and rubbed it on the dagger...

The poison was not his, it was seized from the sin cultivator.

They, Daotingsi, don't use poison.

Generally speaking…

Seeing Gu Changhuai apply poison on the knife, Mo Hua nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Gu An:

"Brother An, do you have a stick?"

Gu An was stunned, "What stick?"

"A stick for sap beating."

Gu An shook his head, "No..."

"It's okay, I have it."

Mo Hua took out an iron rod as thick as a bowl from his storage bag.

This is a Qianjun stick, only a second-grade one.

The first-grade Qianjun stick forged by Master Chen in Tongxian City is no longer useful after the foundation of the ink painting is established.

So he took the time to spend more than a hundred spiritual stones in Taixu City outside Taixu Gate to buy a second-grade stick spiritual weapon.

Although the shape is different, this stick also has other names.

However, the ink painting is more nostalgic, and at the same time, in order to not forget the original intention and continue to follow the path of "beating the sap", it was also named "Qianjun Stick".

On the stick, the second-grade Qianjun Formation was also painted in ink.

Mo Hua handed the Qianjun stick to Gu An, "Try it and see if you get it right."

Gu An took it with a dull expression, waved it a few times, nodded slowly and said:

"It's okay..."

"Let me tell you, when is the best time to sap..."

Mo Hua began to teach Gu An the technique of "beating sap", and Gu An was stunned for a while.

After Mo Hua finished speaking, he asked:

"Remember?"

Gu An nodded blankly, "Remember..."

"very good!"

"Also, he is an array master and has a keen sense of consciousness. You must be careful when assassinating..."

Mo Hua went on to explain other details of the "assassination" of the evil formation master.

For example, how to avoid being discovered, how to cover his mouth to prevent him from speaking, how to guard against his use of formations, how to prevent him from using Yuan Magnetic to send messages...

After getting ready, Mo Hua nodded and said:

"Let's go!"

So Gu Changhuai and the three Daoting Division monks, with extremely complicated emotions, followed Mo Hua and embarked on the road to assassinate the evil formation master...
