Do not die

At the beginning, everyone's purpose was purely greedy, and they wanted to escape from this suddenly "hot and dire" cultivation environment and come to this third-level spiritual vein.

Let’s not mention the third-level spiritual vein where the original Alchemy Sect is located for the moment, because it is blocked by a complete mountain guarding formation. If the ancestors of the five sects and the other five sects’ senior leaders do not take the initiative, others can’t break through it even if they are intentional. The defense of the mountain guard formation.

But everyone is very clear about the situation of the other four third-level spiritual veins. Such a huge spiritual vein is not blocked by the mountain guard formation. The Xingxiu Palace only has four pill-forming guards to guard it. During the guarding period, they always stay on a fixed hilltop and never go out. activities, let alone so-called inspections.

"I still don't believe it. With just four of you and eight eyes, you can really take care of the entire spiritual system!"

"With such a huge spiritual vein, it may be difficult to hide a sect force, but if you only hide one or two people, wouldn't it be easy?"

Those who do not believe in evil will naturally have this idea of ​​not believing in evil in their hearts.

Some just do what they think of, relying on their familiarity with the spiritual veins to avoid the blind spots of the Xingxiu Palace's "sentinels" and sneak into the depths of the third-level spiritual veins.

Some are more insidious. They have an idea in their mind, but instead of trying it themselves, they induce or force others to try it.

But no matter how subtle the infiltration skills are or how advanced the hiding ability is, the result without exception is a clean death.

Some died quietly, and some died vigorously—really vigorously.

Because what took away their lives might be a bolt of thunder that suddenly fell from the sky, or it might be a ball of flame that suddenly burst out from the ground.

After a period of panic and fear, capable people gradually figured out the reason.

The reason is that those four are respectively arranged on top of four third-level spiritual vein formations.

Although these formations are small in number, they happen to be built at the gathering place of four third-order spiritual veins.

The four formations are connected into one, and the four pill formations who stay in the four third-order spiritual veins can understand the various changes in the spiritual veins without leaving home, and with the help of the power of the third-order spiritual veins, they can deal with certain The target lands a precise strike.

After knowing that the four third-level spiritual veins that seemed empty and deserted had turned into such a sinister death trap, many people's hearts became cold.

However, Xingxiu Palace's approach did not really scare all the five domain monks.

Some monks were actually aroused by this.

This is about the disadvantages of the arrangement of Xingxiu Palace.

The four people formed the elixirs and guarded a third-level spiritual vessel so impregnably that it was difficult to get in, but the price was that it seemed like they were trying to move a thousand pounds.

However, the "thousand catties of power" mobilized does not come from the practitioners, but from the spiritual veins themselves.

Using this kind of attack consumes a huge amount of spiritual energy.

This is also the reason why the five sects in the past did not play like this, but honestly arranged a mountain-protecting formation.

Only the Xingxiu Palace was willing to spend so much money, because their purpose was not to obtain these third-level spiritual veins, but to prevent other non-Xingxiu Palace monks from being qualified to use and possess them.

This is also an important reason why the evil fire in the hearts of many Five Realm monks is ignited.

"We regard it as a treasure, but you treat it like garbage when we ask for it but can't get it."

“Trash is garbage, as long as it allows us to be scavengers, it doesn’t matter if I pick up garbage every day.

But you are willing to let these "garbage" that you don't value much be abandoned and rot, without giving us "wild dogs" a chance to take a bite.

If you cross the line even slightly, you will be mercilessly destroyed! "

"Xingxiu Palace, you really deserve to die!"

I have to say that Xingxiu Palace is very good at attracting hatred.

All monks from the Five Realms, no matter whether they are hostile to each other or not, are full of hostility towards them because of Xingxiu Palace's behavior.

However, the Xingxiu Palace's Pill Formation method uses this method to eliminate "intruders", and there is another disadvantage, that is, its absolute power has its upper limit, and another, at the same time, the power it can mobilize from the spiritual veins has its limit. upper limit.

So, after the initial "chaotic" intrusion, with the secret connection of many forces, a big one came.

The incident happened in the Qingxuan Territory, which has the largest number of monks and the worst living environment in the world of cultivation.

First, a large number of monks in the Qi Training Realm and even the Foundation Establishment Realm were treated as cannon fodder. They were driven away from all directions, or rushed into Qinglin Peak with howls and screams.

For a moment, thunder washed over the earth and fire set the prairie fire on fire.

Just when Qinglin Peak's spiritual vein power was exhausted due to this urgent deployment and needed to be relaxed and adjusted, it was also when the four "sentry" formations were at their weakest - the formation was rooted in the third-level spiritual veins. As the power of the spiritual veins is mobilized in large quantities in a short period of time, the four formations relying on the spiritual veins will naturally change accordingly, and flaws will appear where there were no flaws originally.

According to their original plan, they were going to take advantage of this gap to break the formation, drag out the four Xingxiu Palace Formation Pills hiding inside, and cut them into pieces with a thousand cuts.

If there were no accidents, things would indeed develop as they expected.

But the surprise happened, and it was the biggest one.

In other words, this was not an accident at all.

This is a trap that was laid out early, just waiting for a group of silly rabbits to bump into it.

As they continued on, risking death at any time, they passed through the "levels" arranged by thunder and flames. They worked hard and narrowly escaped death to reach the four buildings that were also in danger, with loopholes everywhere, as if they only needed to gently In front of the formation that can be broken with one push.

What greeted them was not the joy of success, but the despair after hope was ignited.

The female cultivator who was suspected to be a strong Nascent Soul came again.

Her figure appeared in front of four precarious formations at the same time.

She turned her back on the formation and faced a group of desperate monks from the Five Domains. She sighed softly and said, "I won't do this next time."

After that, everyone felt that the world was spinning and the wind was fierce.

When the heaven and earth became clear again, all the trespassers were already outside Qinglin Peak, regardless of whether they were alive or dead.

Among them, more than half died, and only a few people survived.

But the spirits of these seemingly healthy people have also been broken. It seems that all their energy has been completely wasted in this time of rushing into the battle regardless of life and death.

This failed revenge attempt also gave the monks in the Five Domains some important revelations.

First, don’t think that Yuanying is not here and think about breaking the formation and killing thieves.

You can shake people up!

As long as there is need, the Nascent Soul from the Constellation Palace can come anytime and anywhere!

Second, the gap between the Nascent Soul strongman and the Danjie monk is even greater than the gap between the Danjie and the Foundation Establishment.

In the face of the absolute power gap, courage, determination, or more numbers are meaningless.

Third, Xingxiu Palace seems to be indifferent to everything in the Five Realms, but this is just an appearance. Everyone knows what should be understood. This kind of "big thing" that requires too many people to work together is completely hidden. But the eyes of the Constellation Palace.

"It is very likely that a traitor has appeared among us, and someone is secretly tipping off the Xingxiu Palace!

Otherwise, how could Xingxiu Palace’s response be so timely and clearly targeted? "

Such rumors spread unknowingly throughout the five regions.

Although everyone's hostility towards the Xingxiu Palace has not diminished, it is more difficult for the monks from the Five Domains, who are already divided, to form a joint force against the Xingxiu Palace.

In fact, unless people talk behind closed doors, everyone will exchange information related to the Constellation Palace less and less.

If the relationship between the two parties is not deep and someone takes the initiative to raise this topic, it will arouse suspicion. The first reaction is not to agree, but to doubt the person's motives and intentions.

"Isn't this here for fishing? Dog thief!"

"Let's talk briefly and talk deeply...this person's intentions must be impure!"

In this way, the situation in the Five Realms, except for a brief moment of excitement in the revenge against the Xingxiu Palace, continued to be chaotic and collapsed.

…

The situation in the five regions has undergone earth-shaking changes in just one or two years.

Under such great chaos, there is no longer any secret or non-secret forces.

Perhaps at a certain moment, a force that has never been heard of will be passively involved in this maelstrom sweeping the five regions, either involuntarily or actively welcoming it.

Or maybe at a certain moment, a force that originally had a great reputation and a legacy that lasted for hundreds or even hundreds of years, unconsciously, disappeared without any trace.

A year or two passed, and after successive killings, chaos, and eliminations, the number of monks in the Five Domains dropped sharply.

Most of the monks in the situation were in a state of confusion, and their only feeling was that the world was suddenly in chaos.

Then, after surviving through these "levels", they suddenly found that the situation seemed to be getting better little by little.

At least, the scale and intensity of killings have been reduced visibly to the naked eye.

The first thing to stabilize was the battle at the Core Formation level - it was not easy for everyone to reach this point in cultivation, and as long as they could survive, they were not willing to engage in a life-and-death battle with others.

Then came the fake elixirs, and then the killings among the foundation-building monks gradually became somewhat "standardized."

——Although the killing in the foundation room has not completely stopped, and it will be difficult to stop in a short time, it is no longer the complete chaos before, and there are some rule frameworks that most monks default to as constraints.

For example, don't affect innocent people, don't massacre weaker Qi-training realms, etc.

Well, from this rule we can also see some of the current situation of the five domains.

If compared with the situation of the five regions two years ago, the current situation could not be worse or worse, and it could not be more corrupt.

But the monks now are not the monks from two years ago. After two years of "tempering", the dawn of order once again shines on the surviving monks from the five domains, and everyone feels relieved.

In less than two years, some trends that had been gradually formed over more than a hundred years have quietly changed.

The enthusiasm of ordinary people to "seek immortality and ask questions" has been severely damaged.

On the one hand, when chaos swept the entire cultivation world, some tacit understandings also quietly disintegrated. For example, if monks fight against each other, they should try to avoid the place where mortals live.

Some people might have cared about this in the past, but when it comes to a life-and-death situation, everyone is confused and fighting for life and death, so who cares about this.

Some monks think that the secular world is an excellent hiding place, where they can temporarily avoid the limelight and wait for the worst of the limelight to pass before running out to be that "yellow bird".

It's a pity that it's okay for one, two or even three people to think this way, but if ten, hundreds, thousands of practitioners think this way, then the secular world will become another killing ground.

And every battle between monks that takes place in the mortal world is nothing more than a natural disaster to mortals.

These "natural disasters" have brought serious disasters to the secular world. At the same time, they have also dealt a harsh blow to those mortals who have the enthusiasm to "seek immortality and ask questions", allowing them to see the world closely and intuitively. I saw the cruel life after becoming a monk.

"If Qiu Xian Wen is just going to be such a killer with today and no tomorrow, it would be better to live peacefully as a mortal for the rest of his life."

It can be said that except for a few stubborn people, after such an experience, few mortals still have the enthusiasm to "seek immortality and ask questions".

On the other hand, after such a cruel "big elimination", the spiritual practice that started with Qingxuan Sect was suppressed and rebounded.

As more and more monks are "eliminated", the threshold for practice, which has been continuously lowering for more than a hundred years, has begun to increase little by little.

Coupled with the embarrassment of the practice environment, these resources are no longer enough. It is too late to continue to reduce the number of competitors. Who would find trouble for themselves and cultivate more competitors personally?

Therefore, everyone unanimously held the inheritance in their hands tighter.

Meng Zhou was like an indifferent bystander. While he was practicing, he was observing the many earth-shaking changes that had taken place in the five realms of practice in less than two years.

From a certain perspective, Xingxiu Palace's methods were actually very gentle. At least, they were much gentler than what he and the ancestors of the five sects had imagined.

He obviously has that strength, but the monks of the five sects were not slaughtered with blood, and the five realms of practice were not directly killed on a large scale. If this is not gentle, what else do you want?

But just changing the angle slightly, it can also be said that Xingxiu Palace's approach is extremely indifferent and inhumane. The strategy of treating the monks of the Five Realms is not like treating the same kind, but some kind of lower-level creature. A kind of aloof indifference and arrogance.

The strategy it implements is so simple and clear.

I won’t kill you directly, nor will I target you directly.

I only occupy the most critical and core resources, and leave the rest to you to make your own decisions.

"This is going to kill everyone." Meng Zhou sighed in his heart.

Although he had this idea in his mind, Meng Zhou did not take any action against Xingxiu Palace, but just focused on his own practice.

Besides practicing, he still focused more on Lian Ziling.

"It's a little weird."

Meng Zhou felt very strange.

There was an indescribable sense of disharmony between this Lian Ziling and the female cultivator who came a few months after him, as well as the Xingxiu Palace alchemy cultivator who accompanied her. (End of chapter)
