For every monk who enters the Hundred Formation Tower, the Tianyan Sect will responsibly inform them of the dangers involved, lest these talents die young.
But no matter what Tianyan Sect warns, accidents will still happen.
Given the Blue Blood Sect's protective style, Bai Qian didn't want anything to happen to Lu Ye in the Hundred Formation Tower.
Standing in front of the stone tower, Lu Ye stepped in and, under Bai Qian's guidance, stood on a magic circle in the center.
Bai Qian put his hands on the spiritual stones around the formation. He looked up at Lu Ye and saw that he was ready, so he activated the formation.
The field of vision was distorted and changed, similar to the feeling of using the Tianji Pillar to enter and exit the Lingxi battlefield. When Lu Ye came back to his senses again, he was already in an empty space.
This space is not big, only about the size of a room.
Looking left and right, there was a raised stone brick on the wall of the room. Lu Ye walked forward, raised his hand and pressed on the stone brick, and applied a slight force, and the stone brick immediately sunk inward.
In an instant, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged, and lines quickly spread out in the room. These lines not only appeared underground, but also appeared on the left and right sides of the walls.
The magic circle had been revealed, and Lu Ye knew clearly that he wanted to break the circle himself.
Over the years, people from the Tianyan Sect and the entire Jiuzhou formation cultivators have been coming to break into the Hundred Formation Tower. The specific types of tests in the tower have already been figured out by the monks.
Generally there are three types: setting up the formation, breaking the formation, and making up the formation.
To set up the formation is to arrange the corresponding formation according to the requirements of the Hundred Formation Tower. If the formation is broken, the Hundred Formation Tower will produce a formation, and the monks will destroy it. It is more complicated to repair the formation. The Hundred Formation Tower may only produce half of the formation.
The array can be repaired completely, or it may produce an erroneous array. The monks need to find out the errors and then repair them.
Each level has a time limit of three hours. Within these three hours, the more tests are completed, the greater the benefits the monk can get.
The Hundred Formation Tower contains more than a hundred formations. The name comes from the fact that it has one hundred levels.
Lu Ye is best at breaking formations, which is much simpler than setting up and making up formations.
Lu Ye first threw two spiritual pills into his mouth, chewing them while stimulating the insight spiritual patterns.
A flash of light flashed through his eyes, and Lu Ye could see several operational nodes of this formation at a glance. After all, this was the first level, and the formations that appeared were all the simplest formations.
Lu Ye wasn't sure what the exact purpose of this magic circle was, but there was no need to find out.
Not even bothering to show off his formation flag, Lu Ye raised his hand and pulled out the mountain knife from his waist, and stabbed out at one of the nodes. Under the surge of spiritual power, the rotating magic circle suddenly stagnated, and then collapsed.
Spread out.
In less than three breaths, the formation has been broken!
New lines were formed quickly, forming another formation. Lu Ye observed it for a moment and stabbed out again.
After breaking three magic circles in a row, no new magic circles appeared this time. A little fluorescent light suddenly appeared out of thin air and fell in front of Lu Ye's eyes. Lu Ye raised his hand to touch the fluorescent light and printed it on his forehead. A message appeared in his mind.
Inside.
The test this time is to set up the formation, and the formation diagram of the formation has been presented along with the message.
Lu Ye put away the panshan knife, thought for a moment, and took out the five-pole formation flag from the storage bag.
Compared with breaking the formation, setting up the formation is undoubtedly more troublesome. In the past, when Lu Ye set up the formation, he directly used his own spiritual power, such as building a spiritual pattern, to build a magic formation at once. This is faster, but the corresponding
, the consumption is also large, and the formation arranged in this way is not stable enough and can be easily broken.
But setting up the formation with the help of formation flags is different. The consumption will be much smaller, the formation will become more stable, and the fault tolerance rate will be much higher. Generally, formation cultivators set up formations in this way. After all, not every formation cultivator can do this.
In this way, he has strong control over his own spiritual power.
As Lu Ye set out a series of formation flags and placed them in all directions, the framework of the formation was quickly set up. Then he activated his spiritual power to perfect the internal structure of the formation.
This is the advantage of using the formation flags to build the formation. Using the formation flags to first build the framework of the formation, and then perfecting and supplementing the formation, is much simpler than his previous use of directly stimulating spiritual power to build the formation.
The progress was very fast. After about a stick of incense, the formation was completed. As Lu Ye successfully constructed the last pattern, the formation was in operation.
After maintaining for three breaths, the formation that had been formed was erased by an inexplicable force, and Lu Ye withdrew his formation flag.
Another bit of fluorescence appears...
Soon, Lu Ye discovered a problem, that is, he seemed to be being targeted.
Because in the next test, he was required to break the formation very few times. Basically, only one or two times out of ten were to break the formation, and the rest were to set up the formation.
As for the supplementary formation, there will be no such test in the first ten floors for the time being, and it will only happen after the tenth floor.
He didn't know what kind of tests other monks went through when they came here, but the number of times he broke formations was only 10 to 20%, which was obviously not normal.
This made him vaguely doubtful. Did the Hundred Formation Tower have its own thinking? He felt that he was breaking the formation too fast, so he increased the difficulty?
In such a situation, Lu Ye's formation speed is also slowly increasing. After all, it is only the first level. Even if he is asked to set up the formation, it will not be difficult. The internal structures of many formations are common. The number of times Lu Ye arranges them
The more you do, the more familiar you will become.
The only issue he needs to consider now is the consumption of spiritual power. Now he has opened 179 orifices, and he is only one orifice short of being promoted to the ninth level.
This number of openings is still the same as half a month ago. In the past half month, I have been following Bai Qian to build the formation flag, which consumes a lot of spiritual energy and has no chance to open the last orifice.
But there is no need to worry, because as long as he passes the test of the first level, he will be promoted to the ninth level. By then, enough spiritual energy of heaven and earth will have gathered in the Hundred Formation Tower to allow him to recover from his practice.
Continuously setting up and breaking formations, Lu Ye was immersed in it, completely forgetting the passage of time.
Until a certain moment, when Lu Ye arranged a magic circle according to the requirements of the Hundred Formation Tower, the aura of heaven and earth in the room suddenly increased rapidly. In just a few breaths, the room was filled with fog, almost to the point where you could hardly see your fingers.
The three-hour time limit has expired.
The test of the Hundred Formation Tower is actually not difficult. No matter which floor you are on, the person who breaks into the tower only needs to complete the formation breaking, setting up or repairing the formation once, and it will be considered as passing the test.
The more times you complete it, the more generous rewards you will get when the time limit is up.
The reward of heaven and earth spiritual energy is only incidental. In any case, monks need to consume a lot of spiritual energy to complete the test here. After the time limit is up, the Hundred Formation Tower will create an environment suitable for the monks to recover, so that the monks can cope with the test of the next level.
.
Lu Ye didn't count how many tests he had completed in these three hours, but he only made a rough estimate. There were always forty or fifty times. This was because the probability of him encountering the formation was too high.
If it were not targeted by the Hundred Formation Tower, this number would have increased significantly.
The first floor has completed forty or fifty tests. This result is extremely terrifying. If the stone tablet list in front of the tower base is still functioning, then Lu Ye will definitely be on the list, and he will be ranked very high.
This resulted in the rewards given by the Hundred Formation Tower being extremely generous, and this rich atomized spiritual energy was the best proof.
Not only that, but a ball of fluorescent light the size of a fist appeared out of thin air and floated in front of Lu Ye.
This group of fluorescence is the most important benefit of entering the Hundred Formation Tower.
Without rushing to touch the fluorescent light, Lu Ye first checked his own spiritual power consumption.
After three hours of breaking and setting up formations almost non-stop, even though he had been swallowing spiritual pills to restore himself, his spiritual power was almost drying up.
With a slight thought in his mind, he constructed one spirit-gathering spirit pattern in his own spiritual aperture. In just one stick of incense, one hundred and seventy-nine spirit patterns were formed. Under the pull and swallowing of the spirit-gathering spirit pattern, the surrounding atomized
Spiritual energy poured into his spiritual orifice continuously, allowing his almost dry strength to quickly recover.
After finishing this, Lu Ye raised his hand to grab the fluorescent light in front of him and pressed it towards his forehead.
Fluorescence prints in and disappears.
Huge and complicated information suddenly appeared in Lu Ye's mind, and the feeling... was very refreshing.
If Lu Ye had obtained the information about the spirit patterns from the leaves of the talent tree before, it was like someone had opened his head and stirred his brain with a red-hot iron, then what he felt now was like
Someone took a hammer and hit him hard on the head.
Lu Ye's head went back and he almost fell to the ground.
My head was swollen, my temples were beating violently, my eyes were wide open, and they were bloodshot. This was caused by receiving too much information in an instant.
This is the biggest danger in breaking into the Hundred Formation Tower! This is also the reason why Bai Qian told Lu Ye Qian and urged him to do what he can.
The fluorescence contained an extremely huge amount of formation knowledge, and it was injected into Lu Ye's mind in a way of enlightenment, regardless of whether he could bear it or not.
If you don't have a strong willpower and a tenacious soul, just this one blow can cause you to fall into coma on the spot, or at worst, your mind will be damaged or even die suddenly.
If anyone else in the Lingxi Eighth-Level Realm were to come here, they would definitely not be able to bear it.
But Lu Ye had experienced the destruction of the talent tree time and time again, so he was no stranger to similar feelings.
Of course, the most important thing is that he has refined his soul in the soul washing pool, and his soul is much tougher than monks of the same level.
Another point is that he has repeatedly entered the mirage realm to kill enemies, and each time he "died" out of the mirage realm. Every time he died, it would also have some tempering effect on his soul. It was not obvious once or twice, but the number of times was not obvious.
If there are more, the power of the soul will naturally increase, but he himself is not clear about this situation.
Therefore, to break into the Hundred Formation Tower, it is not about passing as many tests as possible, but about passing as many tests as possible within the limit that one can bear. Once this limit is exceeded, the monk may not be able to withstand the enlightenment ceremony.
The benefits are bound to have negative consequences.
Many monks who broke into the Hundred Formation Tower did not die in the test of the Hundred Formation Tower, but died because of this last benefit. How sad.
