Chapter 273： epiphany

Chapter 273 Enlightenment

Xu Jun nodded towards everyone, and then entered the phantom formation with all his might.

"Hey, I remembered, he went in directly just now."

"Yes, doesn't he need to conduct basic observations outside the formation?"

"This man is really reckless."

"It's not reckless." A student from the Hundred Soldiers Dao Palace said leisurely: "It's just that people with advanced skills are bold."

Everyone was silent for a long time, and they were all silent.

Yes, if Xu Jun can't break through the illusion formation, then he is naturally a reckless person with countless hearts in his heart.

However, since you have made it through the past, it doesn't mean you are confident. What does it mean for a skilled person to be bold?

Taking success or failure as the benchmark, these are two completely different evaluations.

Ni Lilan listened silently and was not affected by them at all.

Under normal circumstances, after the formation is set up, the formation master can leave a place to spy inside the formation, so as to know every move of the person who breaks the formation. Some even ruthless ones will leave a backhand to make changes to the formation at any time. .

However, now it is time for the formation masters of the Three Great Dao Palace to compete.

If Ni Lilan did this, then the sign of Baibingdao Palace would be completely smashed by her.

Setting up the formation has already taken such a big advantage.

If someone breaks the formation, they have to monitor and change it at any time...

This is not a life-or-death battle, as long as a formation mage wants to save face, he will not do this.

Therefore, even Ni Lilan did not know the specific situation within the formation at this moment.

She could only feel that Xu Jun's entry triggered many mysteries within the formation, and various illusions should be attacking him in full swing.

It's really strange. With Xu Jun's array skills, why can't he avoid these fantasies?

Suddenly, Ni Lilan thought of what happened just now in Mayusong's fantasy world, sensing the aura in the formation from afar.

Within that formation, the aura seemed to be in chaos.

"Fellow Daoist Ma."

"What?"

"I want to ask you something. When Xu Jun broke into the formation, did he avoid all the illusion traps, or did he just break through?"

Mayusong thought for a while and said: "The one who rushed directly did not deliberately avoid it."

Although they cannot see the images within the formation, they have arranged the formation themselves after all, and they still have the ability to sense whether the traps in the formation have been triggered by others.

Ni Lilan raised her eyebrows and said, "Not good."

Although her voice was very low, everyone could still hear her clearly.

"Sister Ni, what's wrong?" someone close asked.

Mayusong also pricked up his ears, wanting to hear what happened.

Ni Lilan sighed and said: "I arranged many phantom array attack methods in the formation, but he triggered them all."

Everyone looked at each other, what's wrong with this?

The man continued to ask: "Senior sister, are you afraid of hurting him?"

Ni Lilan shook her head and said: "The damage done by the magic array set up by Fellow Taoist Ma is not inferior to mine. Since he can pass through it, the damage done by my magic is not worth mentioning."

Mayusong's face suddenly looked much better. At least Ni Lilan's words would not make people think that he was a deceitful person.

"Senior, what are you worried about?"

Ni Lilan said slowly: "After Xu Jun entered the battle, he didn't know what methods he used. He didn't even dodge a fantasy attack. Haha, he must have done this deliberately."

Mayusong was startled, and he suddenly understood and said: "I understand, he is using this method to trigger the arrangements of fellow Taoists as much as possible, and then determine the spiritual power concentration area within the formation and find the spiritual power nodes. And finally trace the origin and find the main formation eye."

"Yes." Ni Lilan said with some regret, "I have long heard that among the formation masters, there is a kind of person who is extremely talented and can easily find the most critical ray of formation aura in the chaos of spiritual energy. . So, when they break the formation, they want to trigger the trap within the formation... Oh, it turns out that there are really people like this in the world."

Everyone below was talking a lot, but there was no doubt that they were more and more impressed by Xu Jun's ability to break the formation.

When ordinary formation mages enter the formation, they will avoid all kinds of attacks in the formation. They only hope to have a safe and stable environment so that they can slowly deduce the location of the main search formation eye.

However, after listening to Ni Lilan's words, they realized that it turned out that there was a world outside the sky, and there were people outside the world.

…

…

Within the formation diagram, Xu Jun stretched out his hand and waved.

Although there was no sword energy released, there was still a surge of mana that drove away the phantom beast in front of him.

Naturally, these phantom beasts cannot harm Xu Jun, who has a clear sword heart and iron will.

In his eyes, these things are like scaring children, and at most they can give him a surprise.

However, when there are too many surprises, it is also a kind of trouble.

Hey, I don’t know how this senior Ni Lilan set up the formation. She did so many tricks in it. Isn’t it annoying?

Girls are just annoying!

Xu Jun looked around, feeling helpless.

If it were a first-level phantom formation, with his four months of formation attainments and his clear sword heart, he should be able to avoid most of the traps.

But the problem is, this Ni Lilan is a rising star that even Master Sheng highly respects.

The illusion formation she set up was the pinnacle of the second level, especially the various traps she set up.

Xu Jun was indeed cautious along the way.

However, he didn't even avoid a single trap.

Although he had tried his best, he was still unable to do what he could.

The art of formation is broad and profound. Little Kara, who has studied it for four months, has no human rights in front of a second-level high-grade formation master.

The only good thing is that this is a phantom formation, not a killing formation.

However, if it was a killing formation, Xu Jun would not explore the senses honestly. With his current strength, he would have killed everyone, destroyed the formation nodes, and used violent means to cooperate with the sword heart to break the formation.

Hum, if you have the ability, wait until I study the formation for ten years... no, even if it takes two or three years, we will compete again!

Xu Jun cursed in his mind and continued to move forward.

Since I want to break the formation, no matter how many traps there are in the illusion formation, I can only bite the bullet and break through them one by one.

An hour later, Xu Jun finally walked around the formation.

That is to say, students compete with each other. Otherwise, there would be no such a small miniature second-order formation in this world.

Xu Jun stopped, closed his eyes slightly, and sketched his walking route in his mind, as well as the reflection of the surrounding environment under the bright sword heart.

In his knowledge system of formations, which was shallow but could be said to have a solid foundation, Xu Jun still calculated the location of one of the spiritual power nodes of the formations.

What are you most afraid of?

What I fear the most is not being able to find a direction or a clue that can solve the problem.

And once you have a precise start, everything can be solved easily as long as you have enough patience and means.

Xu Jun walked slowly, constantly sensing it in his heart.

He is searching for the main formation eye of this formation bit by bit in his own way.

After another half hour, Xu Jun's eyes suddenly lit up.

In the clear heart of his sword, he could clearly sense a special energy group.

Normally, such energy groups can be seen everywhere in the formation. Xu Jun has even passed by this place more than once before.

But this time it was different.

After some derivation and elimination methods, as well as Kenshin Tongmei's origin tracing, this energy group appeared so dazzling.

How to put it, this thing looks ordinary, but it is a piece of gold mixed in the mud flow.

When it is covered by mud and sand, it is certainly inconspicuous.

However, if someone wipes away the sand, the essential color of gold is revealed. Then it becomes extremely dazzling.

Xu Jun stepped forward, fumbled with his hands for a moment, and then pulled out hard.

In an instant, a formation flag rose in response.

As the formation flag was pulled out, the aura of the entire formation changed dramatically.

Outside the formation, Ni Lilan's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

She murmured: "How come there is such a talent..."

Soon, the vision of the formation being broken came, and everyone's expressions became weird and embarrassed.

They secretly looked at Ni Lilan and Mayusong. These two formations were extremely powerful. But unfortunately, it is really bad luck to meet an unreasonable genius like Xu Jun.

Soon, that scene happened again.

Xu Jun carried a formation flag and walked out gracefully.

Looking at his figure, all the formation masters felt that this figure was so tall and majestic and could not be offended.

Arriving in front of Ni Lilan, Xu Jun put down the formation flag and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Ni, you have lived up to your expectations."

Ni Lilan looked at him deeply and said: "Fellow Taoist's attainments in the formation... Lilan is convinced."

Mayusong sighed and bowed deeply to Xu Jun.

No matter what they think in their hearts, since Xu Jun can break the formation, they must admit defeat.

Xu Jun waved his hand and said: "You two don't have to be polite, hehe, to be honest, this illusion array is very well laid out, and I almost couldn't break it."

Ni Lilan said solemnly: "Fellow Taoist, please give me some advice."

Xu Jun was startled, he just said a polite word casually, why did she actually ask for advice?

Hey, facing a top-level second-level formation mage, what should I say to fool him?

Xu Jun stuttered and said casually: "Fellow Daoist Ni, there is something wrong with your formation. There is something wrong with the main formation eye."

"Main Formation Eye?" Ni Lilan asked more humbly: "Fellow Taoist, please elaborate."

Xu Jun laughed and said: "When I was searching for the main formation eye, I passed through that area three times. I didn't find the problem the first two times, but I found it all at once the third time. Do you know why?"

"Why?"

"Although you hid the aura of the main formation eye in the formation diagram and disguised it very well. However, this main formation eye is the main formation eye after all. It is just being obscured, but there is no real qualitative change. Therefore, After I eliminated all options, I was still able to locate it easily.”

As far as Xu Junlang is concerned, although what he said is true, in fact, these words are of little use.

Because this is a truth that everyone knows, but how to achieve this goal is really not something that ordinary people can solve.

Everyone knows that the Nascent Soul is very powerful, and they all want to have a baby, but in the end, how many people can achieve their wish?

Ni Lilan opened her mouth, her eyes moving, as if she was thinking about something.

Mayusong also frowned, as if he had some realization.

Xu Jun muttered in his heart that it must end quickly, otherwise the secret would be revealed if he continued.

"If Fellow Daoist Ni can find a way to truly change the nature of the main formation eye, at least in terms of appearance, it should be integrated with the surrounding environment without leaving any flaws. Then it will not be easy for me to break the formation." Ni Li's blue eyes His eyes flashed, and he murmured: "Merge into one, merge into one..."

Suddenly, she sat down cross-legged.

Xu Jun was startled, what is this?

Mayusong said leisurely: "Fellow Daoist Ni has an epiphany."

"Ah, what? An epiphany?"

"Yeah, I'm really envious."

Xu Jun:…

Can this also lead to enlightenment? Damn it, what did I just say that I shouldn't have said?

…

…

Yingbin Peak.

This is one of the largest peaks of the Hyakubeido Palace, and it is also the location of their highest-standard hotel for entertaining guests of the same level.

Although Zhongli Jijiji was not the True Monarch of Nascent Soul, he came on behalf of the Natural Dao Palace and naturally enjoyed the highest reception standards.

However, Zhongli's current efforts were not in the hotel, but in a large martial arts performance hall several miles away from the hotel.

This is the place where students from the Baibing Dao Palace and foreign Dao Palaces compete and compete.

Just as Xu Jun and others' martial arts competition began, the martial arts competition at the Third Avenue Palace to welcome the new year was also going on.

Each Dao Palace has three students participating in the battle.

During the literary competition, the attainments of cultivating immortals and hundreds of arts were given priority, so there would be the early stage of foundation building, and even to the extreme, there would be monks in the Qi training stage.

However, during the martial arts competition, all those who appeared were in the middle stage of foundation building.

In fact, if any student can reach the advanced stage of Qi training in the past twenty years, then the Natural Dao Palace will definitely not mind sending them to death.

But it may take hundreds of years for such a peerless genius to appear.

At this time, Zhongli Zhili's expression was not good-looking, and behind him, the three middle-stage foundation-building students from the Natural Dao Palace also looked ashamed.

"Haha, fellow Taoist Zhongli, fellow Taoist Teng, give in, give in, this time it is our Seven Star Taoist Palace that takes the lead in the competition." Master Shu Huijin, the leader of the Seven Star Taoist Palace, said with a smile.

Teng Keli said unwillingly: "Congratulations to fellow Taoist Shu, there are so many talented people in the Seven Star Taoist Palace, and you are making another Taoist achievement."

Daozi is the most outstanding person among all the students of the Three Great Dao Palace.

Any Taoist who can be recognized by the Taoist Palace and promoted to the outside world must be an undisputed figure who can dominate all the students of the Taoist Palace.

And whoever can enter the Three Avenues Palace is not the proud one of heaven.

Unless one really possesses crushing level strength, it is absolutely impossible for all students to be convinced.

In this martial arts battle, the Seven Star Dao Palace was able to win the final victory because they had a new Seven Star Daozi.

Seven-star sword cultivator, Zhong Xinyue!

This 37-year-old monk who has been in the Seven Star Dao Palace for 18 years and has been in the middle stage of foundation building, swept the scene with his Seven Star Sword Diagram, which no one can match. All those who fought against him were defeated by him in three strikes and five divided by two.

Although there are people in the Natural Dao Palace and the Hundred Arms Dao Palace who have mastered the Hundred Swords.

However, when faced with the Seven Star Sword Diagram, the inherited secret method of the Seven Star Dao Palace, they were instantly thrown into disarray and defeated.

The existence of Seven Star Taoist Zhong Xinyue seems to be to explain what it means to be truly invincible at the same level.

Facing such a Daozi-level student, the two Jindans were also in despair.

There is no way, Daozi's position is really not casual, and he is guaranteed to appear at any time.

Sometimes, it is normal not to see a Daozi for ten years.

Nowadays, there are no Taozi in Shuiyuan Star Baibing Dao Palace and Natural Dao Palace.

Master Shu Huijin smiled and said: "Since you two have no objections, I will let Qixing Daozi win the crown."

Master Teng Keli's face was as dark as water. This was an elite exchange meeting held in his own territory, but he failed to retain the martial arts crown. It was really embarrassing to his grandma's house.

However, in the world of immortality, strength is respected, and there is nothing he can do.

However, at this moment, Zhongli Zhili suddenly said: "Wait a minute."

Shu Huijin asked in confusion: "What?"

Zhongli Zhizhi said slowly: "I remember the rules of martial arts, and there is also a term for foreign aid."

"That's right." Shu Huijin said with a smile on his face: "But are you sure that the Wen Dousheng in your Natural Dao Palace is more powerful than the Wu Dousheng?"

According to the rules, students from the same batch can participate in martial arts.

Including the seven immortals, Wen Dou Sheng.

After all, some students are so incredible that they are invincible in both civil and military fields.

Zhongli Zhizhi smiled and said, "You will know if you can compare with me if you give it a try."

Shu Huijin took a deep look at him and said: "That's okay, just wait a little longer. If you are not afraid of embarrassment, let those seven people come and test whether the sword in the palm of my family's Qixing Daozi is sharp."

Zhongli was about to speak when suddenly a person hurried in.

That was a Foundation Establishment student. Zhongli tried his best to recognize this person because he was the one assigned by Master Teng Keli to entertain Xu Jun.

When he saw this man's slightly panicked but overjoyed face, Zhongli Zhizhi's heart skipped a beat.

Seo Jun lost?

However, if you lose in the Formation Department, you should lose. If Sheng Zhenren hadn't made strong arguments and he didn't want to offend his peers, there would be no need for Xu Jun to represent the Formation Department in the competition.

However, the man came to Master Tengkeli and said a few words using his spiritual consciousness.

At this moment, Zhongli Zhili and Shu Huijin were very restrained, restraining their consciousness and not listening.

With their powerful spiritual consciousness, which is higher than a large realm, even if they just release their spiritual consciousness as usual, they can know what this person is saying without deliberately listening.

However, the two of them maintained their identities and would never do such a discourteous thing on such an occasion.

However, after hearing this, Teng Keli was obviously shocked.

"real?"

"It's absolutely true." The Ji Zhu said with infinite joy: "The real person from the Formation Department has been alerted, and he has personally inspected it, and it is confirmed."

Teng Keli's eyes were bright and he suddenly laughed loudly. The negative emotions caused by the defeat of the Dao Palace students just now were swept away.

Zhongli Zhili couldn't help but ask: "Fellow Daoist Teng, what makes you so happy?"

Teng Keli put away his smile and suddenly saluted Zhongli with his fists raised, saying, "Fellow Taoist Zhongli, thank you very much."

Zhongli Zhili looked suspicious. Is this old enemy not crazy?

The two of them are in the same grade, both are physical geniuses, and have similar backgrounds. Therefore, from the first time they met, they were destined to be the biggest rivals in this life.

In the past two or three hundred years, they did not know how many times they had fought. Although each had their own victory or defeat, the entanglement of their grudges made them extremely dislike each other.

To say they are old enemies and mortal enemies is not an exaggeration at all.

But now, this guy actually saluted and thanked him... Zhongli Zhili suddenly felt that he was a little uncomfortable.

Teng Keli said loudly: "The literary competition of the Formation Department has ended. Xu Jun, whom you brought with you, Fellow Taoist Zhongli, is indeed a genius of the Formation and has won the position of leader of the Formation."

Shu Huijin's eyes flashed slightly. She didn't know much about Xu Jun. After all, this name was only loud in the Natural Dao Palace.

Moreover, due to the intentional or unintentional blockade of the Natural Dao Palace, it has indeed never spread.

However, Xu Jun is the only Qi-training monk among all the participants in Sandao Palace this time, so Shu Huijin has also heard about it.

The one with the most Qi refining period is not the first in martial arts, but the first in the Formation and Dao subject in the literary competition, but that is already an extremely rare thing.

"Fellow Taoist Zhongli, congratulations to the Natural Taoist Palace for another talented person." Shu Huijin said with a smile.

Zhongli Zhili's face became more and more suspicious. Our family won first place. Why are you more happy than me?

Teng Keli added: "Xu Jun is a very grand kid. After he got the first place, he did not hide his secrets, but gave careful guidance to Ni Lilan. Xiao Ni also strived for success. He suddenly understood the mystery of the formation on the spot, and then arranged Create a third-level spirit gathering array."

"What?" Zhongli Zhizhi was startled and said, "With foundation-building cultivation, you have deployed a third-level formation?"

"Exactly." Teng Keli said solemnly: "This is all due to Xu Jun's guidance. Don't worry, when he leaves, our Hundred Soldiers Dao Palace will definitely express something."

At this moment, Zhongli Zhili and Shu Huijin were both a little sore.

Array!

A formation master who can lay down a third-level formation when building a foundation.

Why don't such talents appear in my home?

Zhongli bared his teeth and cursed secretly in his heart. You, Seo Jun, are eating the inside and outside. Why are you giving such careful guidance to other people's geniuses?

I heard that Ni Lilan is a woman, could it be...

At this moment, several people came from outside, one of them was Xu Jun.

Zhongli Zhili flashed his body and came to Xu Jun's side. His consciousness moved slightly and said: "Xu Jun, did you point out Ni Lilan's formation?"

Xu Jun hesitated for a moment. Did I give you some advice? How the **** did I give this advice?

However, facing the dean's inquiry, he could only bite the bullet and nodded.

Zhong Li looked at him with a complicated expression, and said slowly: "After we go back, give more advice to those idiots in the Formation Department, and give me a foundation-building formation capable of deploying a third-level formation."

Xu Jun suddenly looked up, with a look of horror on his face.

Foundation Establishment can lay down a third-level formation!

Dean, you don’t understand what this means.

I pointed out Ni Lilan.

But the problem is, even I myself can’t figure out why I was talking about the second-order phantom formation, and I just mentioned the main formation eye, and then talked nonsense.

That woman was able to have an epiphany, and then she accidentally deployed a third-level... Qi gathering array.

Is there anything universal between this illusion array and the Qi Gathering Array?

Apart from the fact that they are both formations, Xu Jun really can't figure out what else these two formations have in common.

Just like sword cultivation, body cultivation, and thunder cultivation, they are all monks.

But can their cultivation methods be the same?

However, looking at Dean Zhongli's somewhat fierce eyes, Xu Jun really couldn't explain it.

Shu Huijin smiled slightly and said: "Fellow Taoist Zhongli, which Wen Dou students you need help from, you might as well ask if their Wen Dou is over?"

Zhongli tried his best to retract his gaze and said, "No need to ask, it's over."

"Ah, what?"

Zhongli pointed at Xu Jun and said: "The foreign aid I'm talking about is this kid. If he also loses to your Seven Star Daozi, then I will admit that in this elite exchange meeting, your Seven Star Dao Palace won the first place in martial arts." One."

In the martial arts performance hall, the atmosphere suddenly condensed.

Countless eyes fell on Xu Jun.
