Li Wan accepted the invitation from the Eighth Princess, so she took Miyan Miluo with her.

The eighth princess, the second prince, the third prince, the commander of the Black Wind Army and other demon cultivators also followed, heading to the place where the news was reported.

Everyone arrived quickly. It was a hilly cave with a radius of about a hundred miles, surrounded by mountains and rivers. The sea breeze blew from nowhere, bringing fresh energy and a rich spiritual essence that was obviously different from the outside world.

, dense and dense throughout the cave.

Everyone came to a low-lying area surrounded by low hills, where a group of fish-man spirits were already waiting.

Most of them were carrying pickaxes, shovels and other items and stood aside, looking like they had just stopped from their busy work.

There are ditches and potholes all around. It is obvious that the tribes living in them used labor to dig the nearby mountains.

Several big monsters who looked like leaders came up and led a group of laborers to prostrate themselves in the tunnel: "I have seen your highnesses."

The eighth princess said: "Warriors of the Duolu tribe, please rise."

Several big demons then stood up and said with some restraint and flattery: "Your Highness, we are cleaning the earth altar, you see..."

The Eighth Princess understood and turned around and said: "Fellow Taoists, there are still some hands and tails that need to be cleaned. How about we wait for a while?"

When everyone saw this, they naturally expressed their approval, so they sat down on the high ground nearby in the overseer's shed that had already been built.

The big demon of the Duolu tribe still started work with all the spirits, and got busy in full swing.

Li Wan glanced around, and sure enough, he discovered that in the low-lying area of ​​the valley, a formation base paved with spiritual stones and jade bricks was exposed. It looked like a jade platform in the style of an earth altar, about a hundred feet square, spread flat on the ground.

The bottom of the valley.

This place is usually covered by soil and the Qi movement is completely suppressed. If it weren't for chance, the monks who walked on the ground might not be able to notice that it was different from other places.

But at this time, the earth altar seemed to be partially destroyed, and the aura springs deep underground began to reveal their energy. You could already feel it when you entered the nearby valley.

A big demon from the Duolu tribe explained: "The day before yesterday there was an earthquake, and there was a light in the valley at night. We felt strange, so we sent a few warriors to check, and found that a corner of the Temple of Earth was exposed there. It happened that the princess ordered that

Paying attention to the strange phenomena and strange places in the cave, we gathered the young men and women overnight to excavate the valley."

The things in this valley are obviously not in the style of the demon clan, and the Duolu tribe has been living here for generations, and I have never heard of anyone establishing these here.

The tribal leaders felt something strange, so they sent people to dig deep and report all night long. However, they never thought that after the eighth princess learned about the incident, she was very concerned and withheld the news. At the same time, she sent more elite troops to blockade the nearby area. As a result, as

As the excavation progressed, it became increasingly clear that this was the node of the formation she was looking for.

The Eighth Princess smiled and said: "Thank you for your hard work, warriors. When the work is completed, each of you will be rewarded with ten thousand spiritual jade, and your tribe will be exempted from ten years of corvee tax."

The leader of the Duolu tribe was overjoyed and said: "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward!"

While talking, not long ago.

Several big demons from the Duolu tribe all cast water-covering spells and used the water flow to wash away the earth altar that had just been unearthed. At the same time, other big demons also stepped forward to roll up the mud and clean up the site.

Worried about damaging the buildings underneath, all the demons were cautious and progressed slowly.

The third prince waited impatiently, stood up, and shouted: "Everyone, go aside and look at me."

He was a little impatient, and after waiting for a while, he was already impatient. He simply drove away the other big monsters, cast the water-covering spell himself, sacrificed the monster essence, and started cleaning up.

His cultivation level is much higher than that of the great demons of the Duolu tribe, and he is really much faster.

Under the blessing of his natural water nature, the streams of water seemed to be spiritual. In a matter of seconds, large areas of soil were cleaned, and the entire altar was finally revealed.

This is a circular altar in the shape of a disc, with layers upon layers. It is divided into more than a hundred levels and is about three feet high. In the center is a platform ten feet square, surrounded by gold and jade dragon pillars. With the surge of earth vein aura,

, streams of extraordinary spiritual energy emerged.

When the third prince took action himself, everyone had already stood up and turned their attention to the altar.

The Eighth Princess called a great demon from the Turtle Clan who seemed to be in the late stage of foundation building and came to the Earth Altar, looking at it step by step.

In addition to the turtle clan demon, several other demon cultivators from various clans and even two casual cultivators from the human race also went to the side and got busy.

These are all the formation masters recruited by the Eighth Princess to accompany the army.

"I really don't understand what kind of formation this broken platform could be..."

The third prince was a little dissatisfied with the "masterpiece" he had worked so hard to clean. Looking left and right, there was nothing strange about it.

The Eighth Princess smiled and said: "Brother I don't know. The way of formation is to use ordinary things to stack up and guide the power of heaven and earth. With a murderous intention, the world will be turned upside down. Judging from the current situation, it is absolutely certain that this is the great formation."

If we occupy one of the nodes here, we can at least discover the exact locations of several nearby nodes through its connection with the entire formation."

A normal formation, when activated, has people guarding the nodes, or operates on its own, hiding, trapping enemies, and killing enemies. It is not so easy to find. This time, she was lucky. She found the first node and was very happy.

It is possible to find other nodes through it, or even find the site where the Blood Abyss Territory army secretly gathered.

The eighth princess can take the opportunity to launch an offensive, disrupt the opponent's actions, or find the formation's eyes and capture the opponent's formation master, which is undoubtedly of great significance.

Li Wan also said: "Everything is difficult at the beginning. With this node, many things that follow will be much easier."

"By the way." The Eighth Princess remembered something and suddenly asked with great interest, "The first path of the Qi Dao has some similarities with the Formation Dao. I wonder if Li Daoyou, as a master of the Qi Dao, knows about this? I don't have any great masters under my command.

There are many outstanding formation masters, and now we are urgently inviting several masters to come here in the name of my father, but the mountains are long and the rivers are far away, so it will take some time for them to arrive."

There are indeed not many talents in this field in the Eighth Princess Army. The only demon general commanders mostly learn the method of arranging troops. The principle is different from this kind of large formations that can cover hundreds of miles at every turn.

same.

There are only a few who can do it, that is, the official formation masters accompanying the army. The old man from the Turtle Clan brought here at this moment is the best among them.

It's a pity that he is just a great demon, and his understanding of the Tao is only equivalent to that of a master of the Tao of Qi, and he is not considered a master.

The other few are not much better, they are all relatively mediocre monks in the formation path.

This question was not easy for Li Wan to answer, so he had to say honestly: "I have a rough understanding of the formation theory, but unfortunately, most of it is derived from the weapon path. I don't have a deep understanding of the specific formation path."

Masters who are truly proficient in formations have to be found from the major sects of the human race. Only those major sects that each have their own cave world and guard one side will deliberately cultivate talents in this area.

Compared with the Qi Dao, the Formation Dao is actually even more declining. After all, this Dao has nothing to do with the realm of cultivation. Most of the time, it can only be learned by practicing simultaneously.

The Eighth Princess felt a little disappointed when she heard this, but this was not unexpected, so she nodded in understanding.

Li Wan added at this time: "You don't have to worry. Our purpose is not to control this formation at once, but to use it to find other nodes. What we need to see now is whether the formation base here is preserved."

How is it? If it has been damaged, let’s not mention it for now, but if it is well preserved, it will be much more convenient.”

What Li Wan said was based on his own experience in Qi Dao.

Refining a magic weapon in its entirety is the most difficult, followed by refining its components and working with a master to refine the weapon. However, processing and making some leftover materials, and even identifying the magic weapon, are much easier in comparison.

The same principle applies to formations. The difficulty of arranging a complete formation from scratch is completely different from using the functions of some nodes in the formation to drive the formation.

Although the subordinates brought by the eighth princess may not be very capable, they still have a great chance of success if they can figure out some ways to get things done.

The eighth princess nodded: "What fellow Taoist said is absolutely true."

Less than two moments later, the facts were exactly what Li Wan said, and the formation masters had indeed made a discovery.

I saw a white light rising into the sky from the very center of the altar, like a beam of sunlight shining directly down from a dark patio.

This beam of light hit the dome, and instantly, the energy deep in the ground leaked out and began to swim along an inexplicable trajectory.

Everyone suddenly discovered that the light around them had dimmed, and there was a dark and gloomy scene everywhere.

Under the dim sky, which seemed like a storm was coming, a chill that seemed to be able to freeze the soul surged out.

Everyone was surprised: "It's the evil spirit! What happened?"

The old man from the Turtle Clan walked down the Earth Altar and said with some joy: "Your Highness, this is indeed the node of the formation, and it is extremely well preserved. We just extracted the sealed Earth Demon and transported it elsewhere.

, as long as you chase it, you should be able to find another node!"

When Li Wan heard this, he nodded secretly. These formation masters were indeed using the method of following the clues.

This method is not very clever, but it is also the best method at present.

The Eighth Princess had obviously thought of it, and quickly asked: "How to track this kind of evil spirit?"

The old man of the Turtle Clan had his own way and replied: "While it is rising, inject your own demonic energy. If possible, we can use nodes to keep it condensed and not dispersed."

"Well, you do this immediately." The Eighth Princess said happily, "Leave a group of soldiers and guard this place while we go to other places!"
Chapter completed!
