Chronicles of Celestial Origins

"Master, what should we do now?" Seeing this, Gu Yuanya also knew that Tang Ning had nothing to do about the formation, so she asked.

"Judging from the power of this formation, it is at least a fourth-level formation. Even if it has been in disrepair and is internally damaged, resulting in a greatly reduced power, it is still not something that the master can break. Such a strong attack cannot break the formation. The possibility, if we can find the weakness of this formation, there is still a possibility. "

"Then should we find someone who knows the formation?"

Tangning pondered for a while: "Let's go!"

The two of them walked towards the outside of the cave. Gu Yuanya said, "Master, why don't you go find someone and I'll watch from here."

"What's the point of watching it here? Could it be that it will collapse on its own?"

"I'm worried about being discovered by others."

"Stop talking nonsense. If others find out, how can you stop it? You think this is the jurisdiction of the Qianyi Sect."

"That's right! Master, who are you going to find? Do you know any monks who know the formation?"

"Aren't there many monks who understand formations? Just go to any sect and find a disciple from the Formation Flag Department who knows the formations? The key is to find someone who is trustworthy and knows the basics."

"Master, how about we don't need to find anyone? When you successfully conceive a baby, how about we come back to break this formation? If there is a good treasure hidden inside and we ask others for help, we will give them a share."

"Again, you're talking nonsense. Do you think that the baby is just for drinking water and eating? Even if there is such a day, I don't know how many years later it will be. This formation has been in disrepair for many years, and the internal damage is serious. Didn't you just pass by by chance that day and see the formation? Is it possible that the light of spiritual power coming from the loose structure will be found here? I don’t know when the light of spiritual power will be discovered again.”

"Master, do you have a reliable candidate?"

"There is also a disciple of Taixuan Sect who came to Qianyuan City with my master this time. I should be trustworthy and can cooperate with him. I think he should know many monks who know the formation."

"Oh! By the way, master, where are you working now?"

Tang Ning said: "In the Taixuanzong's office in Xuantang City, do you still remember the wind spirit ship that picked us up when we evacuated from Qinghai? Its captain is Fang Dasheng, the current head of Taixuanzong's office in Xuantang City."

"He has some friendship with Senior Bai Jintang, so he was transferred from Yuanxian County as his master. The one who came to Qianyuan City with his master this time is his disciple Xu Mengyuan."

"Senior Fang also promised to arrange an errand for you in Xuantang City."

"Really?" Gu Yuanya was overjoyed: "Can I join Taixuan Sect like Master?"

"How can it be such a good thing? It is so easy to join Taixuan Sect. I will find you a job and just let you hold a position in the industry under the office, just like the casual cultivator help recruited by the intelligence station."

"Then I want to help the master, and I won't go anywhere else."

"You have quite a lot of conditions. Do you think you are working for the Yizong and can go wherever you want? When you arrive in Xuantang City, you must obey Senior Fang's instructions. If he transfers you to another position, just go and do it. If you have the chance, see if you can find a way to join Taixuan Sect and become a formal disciple."

"Oh." Gu Yuanya lowered her head and responded. The two masters walked and chatted. After leaving the cave, the light was rising and they returned to Tianyuting City. Tangning went to Wutong Pavilion to book a ticket to Qianyuan City. Ferry tickets. He set off on a merchant ship that night and arrived at Qianyuan City a few days later.

In the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce Inn, Xu Mengyuan was sitting in an exclusive training room made of soundproof stone, practicing with his eyes closed. Suddenly, a sound of wind chimes sounded. He suddenly opened his eyes, stood up and opened the stone door.

But he saw Tang Ning standing at the head of the inspection hall and saluting: "Senior Brother Xu, I'm sorry for disturbing you."

Xu Mengyuan bowed his head and returned the gift: "Junior Brother Tang is back, please bring me here!"

"The scoundrel is still waiting at Tianyu Pavilion. I came to find Senior Brother Xu this time because I have other important matters."

"Oh? What did Junior Brother Tang do?"

The two of them sat down one after another, and Tang Ning said, "I don't know if Senior Brother Xu knows a monk who is proficient in formations. I need to find someone who is reliable and trustworthy."

"Junior Brother Tang, why are you looking for a monk who is proficient in formations?"

"To be honest, the scoundrels found a secret place in Tianyu Pavilion. There was a large formation guarding it. I have already visited the former. Although this formation has been in disrepair for a long time, it still retains its power. It is at least a fourth-level formation. Defense formation. I don’t know the formation, and I can’t break this formation with my own strength. I’m not familiar with this place, so I came to seek help from Senior Brother Xu.”

Xu Mengyuan smiled after hearing what he said: "In that case, I will accompany Junior Brother Tang to have a look!"

"Could it be that Senior Brother Xu is proficient in formations?" Tang Ning asked, seeing his confident look.

"Don't be fooled by proficiency. I only know a thing or two. Before being transferred to the Xuantang City office, I served in the Formation and Flags Department for more than two hundred years."

"That's great." Tangning said happily.

Going directly to Xu Mengyuan to break the formation would certainly save much more time and trouble than finding someone else through Xu Mengyuan.

If you find someone else, then at least three people will share the proceeds equally. Generally speaking, according to the rules of the spiritual world, the person who sees it will have a share, regardless of whether you see it first or later.

As long as you participate in this matter, even if you don't contribute a single part, you have to take a share.

Not to mention that the cave may be discovered by others at any time. If you find others, it will take an unknown amount of time.

"When will we set off? Do we need to make any preparations?"

"Go now! That place may be discovered by others at any time."

"Okay." Xu Mengyuan responded, and the two of them got up and left the inn, boarded a merchant ship that departed that day, and arrived at Tianyu Pavilion a few days later.

…………

"This is the scoundrel Gu Yuanya. Yuanya, this is the senior brother Xu Mengyuan that I mentioned to you," Tang Ning introduced at the top of the remote mountain.

"Juniors pay their respects to Senior Xu." Gu Yuanya bowed his head.

Xu Mengyuan smiled and said: "I've heard that Junior Brother Tang talked about you a long time ago. I didn't expect that Junior Brother Tang and I would be given such a generous gift when we first met in junior high school. Junior Brother Tang, you have such a profoundly blessed disciple by your side. I envy you, brother!”

"The seniors are ridiculously complimentary, but the juniors are ashamed to deserve it."

The three of them chatted for a few words, then the light flew up and they came to the cave below the valley again.

"Senior Brother Xu, this is the big formation. The light curtain of this formation is slightly deformed and twisted in five places. It is expected that its interior must be seriously corrupted. I attacked it for a quarter of an hour, but there is nothing I can do about it. This formation has been damaged to this extent. The defensive power is still so strong, so I guess it must be a fourth-level magic circle."

Xu Mengyuan nodded slightly, walked around the formation a few times, turned his hand, took out a blood-colored bead, and rose in the wind, blooming into a dazzling triangle-shaped blood-colored light, covering the northwest corner of the formation.

The light shone against the cyan light curtain, but it did not trigger the formation's defensive restrictions.

Xu Mengyuan walked slowly around the formation, with blood-colored beads the size of millstones hanging above his head, slowly moving with him, and the light shrouded all parts of the light curtain.

As Xu Mengyuan continued to change his position, the light emitted by the blood-colored beads began to fluctuate, sometimes weak and sometimes strong, with different shapes.

From the initial triangular shape, it changes into four-cornered, five-cornered and many other shapes.

About half an hour later, Xu Mengyuan had completed a circle around the light curtain with the blood-colored beads on his head.

With a move in his hand, the blood-colored beads turned into the size of a palm and returned to his hand.

Xu Mengyuan drew his left hand on his right hand and dropped the blood on the bead. He muttered something in his mouth. He saw the surface of the blood bead change, and many obscure rune patterns appeared. Those complex patterns continued to change like glimmers on the surface of the blood bead. With.

After a while, many patterns disappeared one after another, and Xu Mengyuan put away the blood beads.

"Brother Xu, how are you? Can you break this formation?" Tang Ning asked when she saw him approaching.

Xu Mengyuan said: "As I expected, this is the Tianxing Yiyuan Formation. It is a fourth-level mid-level formation that integrates offense and defense. Generally speaking, once a fourth-level formation is deployed, the area of ​​influence will not be so small. The organizer is obviously an expert, and he has used some method to deliberately reduce the radiation area of ​​this array to only cover a radius of several miles, which is technically difficult. "

Tang Ning said: "Why did he deliberately reduce the radiation area of ​​the formation?"

Xu Mengyuan said: "I just said that this formation is a large formation integrating offense and defense. The radiation area of ​​the large formation is reduced, but the power will not be weakened."

"For example, if a spell of the same level is cast over a wide area within a few miles, will the effect be the same if it is cast over a wide area over a few hundred miles?"

"There is no doubt that when released within a radius of several miles, its strikes will be more intensive and more intense."

"The reduction of the radiation area means that it loses its defensive aspect. Our common fourth-level formation can cover a land with a radius of hundreds of miles. This is actually a defensive method."

"If the formation is breached, the people inside the formation can escape from the other side. The east, west, north and south sides are hundreds of miles apart. If the gap in cultivation is not too big, there will be no problem in escaping."

"This is the reason for reducing the radiation area of ​​the formation. It reduces the defense vertical and horizontal of the formation and increases the strike strength of the formation."

Tangning frowned and said, "So, aren't we in danger? This is a fourth-level mid-level formation. In such a narrow area with a radius of several miles, the attack force must be very strong. We may not even be able to avoid it. We are afraid that it will be broken once it is broken. The outer defensive light curtain will be attacked by it."
