Li Shiming didn't know what happened on Seven Star Island. During his descent, all thirty-six formation flags had been thrown out.
When his feet touched the ground, the other person was already in the center of a formation.
With a flick of his finger, six middle-grade spiritual stones were sent to the formation nodes.
There is no spiritual vein here. This kind of formation that will be used in battle cannot be supported by the spiritual energy in the void.
As the six middle-grade spiritual stones were sent into the formation, the thirty-six formation flags disappeared in a flash of light, and a large formation appeared next to him.
This is the 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation', a formation with astonishing defensive power.
The monks on both sides who recognized this formation were all startled. This was not a formation disk, but a real formation. To set up an formation using formation flags, you need to calculate the variables of the environment yourself.
The complex spiritual environment created by the two Jindan monks cannot be calculated by the formation Starlight Sea in a short time. Without data, the formation cannot be set up.
Even a high-level formation master would not be able to do it as quickly as Li Shiming when setting up the 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation' in such an environment.
After the rise of the 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation', Li Shiming felt a lot more at ease, which at least put him in an invincible position.
After hearing that formations could be used in this operation, he prepared suitable formations for the battle.
Since there was no shortage of spiritual stones in his hand, he made a lot of formation flags. When needed, these formation flags could be combined at will, allowing him to arrange most of the formations.
Of course, these formation flags are made of first-grade formation materials and have limitations in effectiveness.
However, the 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation' arranged with thirty-six formation flags is definitely not something that a monk in the Qi Refining Stage can break, unless the opponent uses a talisman.
"Senior Brother He, why don't you come into the formation!" Li Shiming invited He Chuan after setting up the 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation'.
"Junior Brother Li invites you, and you do as you please!" He Chuan was not polite. He knew the risks of this battle, and he was able to get into the formation in a flash.
Li Shiming looked at Shang Haoquan again. Although he said nothing, the invitation in his eyes was very obvious.
"Thank you!" Shang Haoquan also did not hesitate at all. This 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation' was extraordinary at first sight, and his figure also entered the formation.
In a short time, the battle began.
Battles between monks do not pay attention to formations like the army does. The main reason is that the monks move too fast, and each monk moves at a different speed, so the battle formation will have an impact on some monks who are good at flexible fighting.
.
So at the beginning of the battle, the Qi Refining monks fought against each other.
Three qi-refining monks rushed towards Li Shiming. It was obvious that the qi-refining monks in Beishu also assigned the battle targets in a planned way.
Even with the formation, it did not affect the momentum of the three Qi refining monks.
"Junior Brother Li, the combat power of these monks is a bit too strong!" He Chuan frowned slightly and said softly.
Being protected by the formation, he had time to observe the battles of other monks.
Almost as soon as they made contact, the Qi Refining monks from the Seven Sects were suppressed and beaten.
The Qi-refining monks of Beishu did not use any special means. They simply used stronger strength to suppress them. In terms of the control of magic weapons and the application of spiritual power, the Qi-refining monks of Beishu were more powerful.
Not only He Chuan saw it, but the Jindan elders of Qixing Island also saw it.
"After all, he is a monk from Northern Shu, and his background is much better than ours!" Elder Zhuo of the Demon Spirit Sect shook his head and sighed.
"Beishu is so big and has a large population, not to mention its resource output. It should be stronger than our seven sects, but I didn't expect that their Qi Refining monks could suppress our carefully trained Qi Refining monks!" Elder Gong smiled bitterly.
road.
Although the land occupied by the Seven Sects is called the mainland by the Seven Sects, this is actually just what the Seven Sects themselves said.
In the understanding of other places, the land occupied by the Seven Sects is called Tianhai Island. Yes, it is just a larger island.
Therefore, except for the high-level members of the Seven Sects, the name Tianhai Island will not be mentioned in books or maps.
This seems a bit arrogant, but it is also a helpless move. Tianhai Island is separated from the mainland by a dangerous ocean, and there is almost no contact.
Even if you know the outside world, it is impossible to leave Tianhai Island.
Even though the monks from Beishu came to Tianhai Island, if Beishu had not been unable to survive, who would risk leaving the rich land and come to a poor place like Tianhai Island.
Moreover, the price paid by the monks in Beishu was not small. Just by exploring the path, they lost a golden elixir sword cultivator, who was also the strongest among their golden elixirs.
Along the way, although Yun Xingyi explored the road and guided him to a relatively safe road, he still suffered a lot of losses.
"Fellow Daoist Yin, it is better to let all the Qi Refining monks enter the formation and unite, otherwise they will not be able to match the Qi Refining monks from Northern Shu!" Elder Gong said to Elder Yin.
"Senior Brother Yin, the overall situation is the most important thing. Besides, if other Qi Refining monks fall, Li Shiming's formation will be difficult to resist!" Elder Sheng also reminded softly.
Elder Yin was silent for a moment and nodded.
Li Shiming mobilized the 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation' and easily blocked the three attacking Beishu Qi Refining monks.
"Two senior brothers, this formation can be used for external attacks. You can use spells or magic weapons as you like!" He said to the two senior brothers who seemed to be watching a show.
"Is it so good?" He Chuan's eyes lit up, and a small hammer appeared next to him and flew out.
After the small hammer flew out of the 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation', it turned into an illusory giant hammer and hit a Northern Shu Qi Refining monk hard.
The Beishu Qi Refining monk quickly dodged. If He Chuan was nearby, he would have many means to deal with He Chuan, but He Chuan was in a formation, making it difficult for him to counterattack.
And this small hammer is also a top-grade magic weapon of excellent quality, with an emphasis on power. Every blow has the explosive power of a peak monk.
Shang Haoquan also used his magical weapon, which was a long whip. It was extremely rare for monks to hold long whips, but this long whip was like a spiritual snake in his hand, entangling the other two Beishu Qi Refining monks.
Already.
"Shiming, let the monks from all sects enter the formation to defend against the enemy together!" Elder Yin's low voice came to Li Shiming's ears.
Li Shiming took a look at the battle situation and saw that some of the Seven Qi Refining Cultivators had already fallen into a disadvantage in such a short period of time, while the rest were also fighting hard. None of the Seven Qi Refining Cultivators had the upper hand.
"Brothers, please enter the formation and we will fight against the enemy together!" Li Shiming also understood the power of the Qi Refining monks in Beishu and said loudly.
At the same time, a sword light flew out from his hand, and the sword light blocked the Beishu Qi Refining monk who was fighting a young monk from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect, giving the monk from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect a chance to escape.
The monk from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect had a chance to break away from the battle. He shouted loudly, flew out the bronze bowl in his hand, and hit the nearest pair of battlefields.
Although the Qi Refining monks of Beishu are powerful, they still cannot face two top monks of the same realm at the same time.
The Qi Refining monk from Beishu retreated and avoided the heavy blow from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect monk.
The battlefield instantly came to life. These seven monks were rich in combat experience. They did not choose to enter the formation immediately. Instead, they helped each other, allowing all seven monks to have a short period of respite.
While resisting the attack of the Qi Refining monks from Northern Shu, they retreated into the 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation'.
The only one who had any ideas was the Qi Refining monk from the Holy Bing Sect. He was very aware of the conflict between Li Shiming and the Holy Bing Sect. He even knew that Li Shiming took Du Bingyan's place to participate in this competition because he killed Du Bingyan.
Competitive.
Hesitating in battle will result in losing the opportunity to enter the battle.
The Qi Refining monks of Beishu were caught off guard by the sudden movements of the seven monks. After they reacted, they released all their anger on the only Holy Ice Sect monk who had not entered the 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation'.
The ice armor and high-grade defensive magic weapon on the Holy Ice Sect monk's body were not even able to block it for a breath, but were broken by the joint blow of several Beishu Qi Refining monks, and his body was penetrated and died on the spot.
The magic weapon and storage bag of the Holy Ice Sect monk were removed by a Northern Shu Qi Refining monk, and they proudly held it in his hand and raised it in a provocative manner.
The Jindan elder of the Holy Ice Sect who was watching the battle had a dull face. He was heartbroken that a talented monk had lost his life, and he was also angry at the genius monk's hesitation.
Although the Seven Sects lost one Qi Refining cultivator on the battlefield, the situation of the battle began to change in their favor.
The seven sect monks in the 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation' can attack the Beishu Qi Refining monks outside the formation at will.
However, the attack of the Qi Refining Monk from Northern Shu was blocked by the 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation'. At least as long as the 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Bagua Array' was not broken, the Qi Refining Monk from Northern Shu could not attack the Seven Sects monks.
"Broken!" A Beishu Qi Refining monk took out a talisman and threw it towards the 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation'.
Li Shiming sensed the specialness of the talisman, and under his control, the sword light tried to intercept the talisman.
But this talisman cannot be intercepted at all, because it turns into a beam of extremely fast energy the moment it flies out.
When the talisman hit the 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Bagua Array', the 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Bagua Array' shook for a while.
"Junior brother Li, it's the formation-breaking talisman!" He Chuan reminded him loudly at this time.
Li Shiming has sensed that the 'Array Breaking Talisman' is constantly destroying the spiritual power circuits of the 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Bagua Array', intending to cause errors in the 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Bagua Array', thereby paralyzing the formation.
To be honest, if Li Shiming was not in the formation, this 'formation-breaking talisman' might really be able to break the 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation'.
The 'Array Breaking Talisman' is said to be magical, but in fact it is a means for the array master to replicate and seal part of his array's ability in the starlight sea into spiritual objects.
The materials used are much more precious than those of normal talismans. In addition, making the 'formation-breaking talisman' is also a kind of damage to the formation master, and it takes a long time to recover. Therefore, the more powerful the 'formation-breaking talisman', the more powerful it is.
is rare.
Of course, the people participating in the battle this time are all elite monks in the Qi refining stage, so it is normal for them to have powerful 'formation-breaking talismans' in their hands.
Li Shiming estimated that the person who made this 'formation breaking talisman' should be a top senior formation master.
His spiritual thoughts quickly swept through the 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation', constantly harmonizing the spiritual power in the formation, and the impact of the 'formation-breaking talisman' was quickly calmed down.
The 'Array Breaking Talisman' lasted for five seconds. It failed to break through the 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Bagua Array' in five seconds, and the energy inside it was exhausted.
Seeing that the 'Array Breaking Talisman' was useless, the Qi Refining monks from Northern Shu all changed their expressions.
We can't let the monks of the Seven Sects use the 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation' to turn the battle into a war of attrition.
The monks of the seven sects in the 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation' can practice cross-legged and even sleep. In terms of a war of attrition, the Qi-refining monks of Northern Shu will suffer more.
What's more important is that the seven monks in the 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation' can easily carry out concentrated fire attacks. Multiple seven monks can attack a Beishu Qi Refining monk at the same time.
This made the Beishu Qi Refining monks a little confused, and in the end they could only retreat far away from the 100-meter range of the 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Bagua Array'.
"Thank you so much, Junior Brother Li!" At this time, the battle was suspended, and the monks from the seven sects had the opportunity to express their gratitude to Li Shiming.
For this kind of large-scale battle during the Qi Refining Period, the benefits of a solid formation are obvious.
After expressing their thanks, the monks from the seven sects began to discuss how to deal with the Qi Refining monks from Beishu.
"The monks in Northern Shu are very strong individually. If I can support one stick of incense in a one-on-one match, I will lose!" the monk from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect said in a solemn tone.
He told the truth without any attempt to hide it.
"The formation can only protect us from attacks, but it cannot allow us to win!" He Chuan frowned slightly.
"If you have any means, don't hide it. This battle is about life and death!" Another Qi Refining monk continued.
Li Shiming was observing two monks from Xuanming Sect at this time. They both carried bronze corpses, and they were top-notch bronze corpses.
In a duel with the Qi Refining monks from Beishu, the two monks from the Xuanming Sect who can last the longest are probably the two monks.
They are equal to two against one, occupying a certain numerical advantage.
The two Xuanming Sect monks saw Li Shiming's eyes and thought it was Li Shiming who was reminding them.
"We can make the bronze corpse self-destruct, and the power is probably as powerful as a strike in the middle of foundation building. However, we will also suffer a lot of backlash after the self-destruction, and the combat power can be retained at most about 50%!" The Xuanming Sect monk did not hide it.
, frankly told his trump card.
The two bronze corpses self-destructed at the same time, almost certainly destroying several Qi Refining monks on the other side.
"But after the battle is won, we need to obtain a relatively complete corpse from the opposite side!" Another Xuanming Sect monk then said bluntly.
Everyone can understand this. The bronze corpse of Xuanming Sect is an important combat power of Xuanming Sect monks, and the raw material corpse is too difficult to obtain.
For the Heavenly Spiritual Root alone, they are almost competing with various sects for top-notch immortal cultivation seedlings.
Li Shiming was startled. He did not expect that his unintentional observation would lead to misunderstandings among the Xuanming Sect monks.
He underestimated his own influence. On the battlefield at this time, the 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation' was equivalent to saving all the seven sects of Qi Refining monks. At least at this time, the Seven Sects of Qi Refining monks would listen to his opinions.
