"You have also passed the level of weapon refining. There are also two levels of formation and astrology. Which level do you choose first?" asked the mysterious old man.
"Formation." Chen Zining replied.
The Qiankun Sect's method is based on the changes of yin and yang, pointing directly to the origin of heaven and earth, while the Tianxing Sect is good at controlling the laws of the stars. Both have their own strengths. If Qingwuzi is proficient in the formation of battles, he only knows a little about the stars.
.
"Okay, I will take you to the central formation in the cave here. As long as you can pass half of the distance, you will pass."
When Chen Zining came back to his senses, he found that he was in a void. Under his feet was an extremely complicated formation. Chen Zining only took a glance, and his whole mind was firmly involved.
"Can you understand this formation?"
After a long while, Chen Zining was awakened by the mysterious old man's voice. When he came back to his senses, he smiled bitterly and said: "This formation is definitely a heaven-level formation. It integrates various laws such as the Four Elephants, the Five Elements, the Bagua, and the Nine Palaces. The formation is superimposed and twisted.
, it is changing and inverted all the time, and it is even more divided into the miraculous and the void. It is really profound and complicated, and I can’t even understand even 10% of the mystery, let alone half of it.”
When Chen Zining was frustrated, the mysterious voice said: "In that case, I will take you to the Jiaomu Hall to identify the stars."
The next moment, Chen Zining had arrived at the core of the Jiaomu Hall, a strange place. Chen Zining was in a belt of light, with magnificent and bright stars arranged in disorder, as if the universe was condensed in this space.
, and Chen Zining was in the middle of it, and a feeling of being as small as an ant came to his heart.
The mysterious voice said: "This is the star of Spica in the east. Can you recognize the direction and changes in it?"
Chen Zining shook his head honestly.
The voice laughed and said: "To pass the level of astrology, you must be familiar with the Four Symbols, the Nine Wilds, and the various changes and mysteries of the Twenty-Eight Constellations. This is only one of the Twenty-Eight Constellations."
Chen Zining said: "It seems that this junior will never be able to pass these two levels."
Although Chen Zining was a little disappointed when he stopped at the last two levels and could not control the cave here, he could not force this kind of thing, so he quickly adjusted his mood.
The mysterious man said: "Don't give up now. To be honest, your performance has exceeded my expectations. There is still a chance in these last two levels."
"Senior, please speak clearly."
"There are many jade slips in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion that record the secrets of formations and astrology. I will give you three years. If you can learn by yourself and master the experience left by the predecessors in it, it will not be difficult to achieve the goal of passing the level. Everything must be seen
Your own efforts and creation.”

In the Longgui Valley base, Chen Daohong sat behind the desk and took out an account book. After reading the numbers on it, he couldn't help but show a smile of satisfaction. After two years of unremitting efforts, the Chen Chamber of Commerce not only cooperated with the people in the dark forest,
Sixteen large tribes have established contact and established stable trade channels. They have also begun to contact some green-blooded tribes living in the plains and mountains, and even opened a shop in the Mingguang Empire through people from the Guangmu tribe.
As one of the few communication channels between the Shenglan Continent and the underground world, various monopoly businesses have allowed the Chen Chamber of Commerce to obtain extremely generous profits. In order to protect these exclusive businesses, the Longgui Valley Base at this time has a population of seven
More than 100 people, except 300 tribesmen
, there are also two hundred Chamber of Commerce guards and two hundred soldiers of the Xuanwu Army. These people have been strictly selected and controlled. They are impeccable in terms of martial arts and loyalty. Even their families have all moved to Wutang Island.
In order to keep the secret of Longgui Valley as much as possible.
Chen Daohong remembered that there happened to be a caravan that was about to leave today, so he wanted to go over and give instructions. At this time, Chen Guangping rushed in from outside the house and said in a hurried tone: "Fourth Elder, it's bad! Guanghua and Zixin were at the same time.
News came that people from the Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce suddenly attacked them and besieged them!"
Chen Guanghua and Chen Zixin were both leaders of the caravan. They went to the Duowen Tribe in the Dark Forest and the Zhuifeng Tribe in the Silent Vein respectively to do business. Chen Daohong was shocked and asked hurriedly: "What about now?"
"I don't know. I sent a message to ask, but there was no reply from Guanghua and Zixin."
Chen Daohong's heart sank after hearing this. Before Chen Zining left, he left hundreds of Ten Thousand Mile Telecommunication Talismans to the Chen family. Although there were not many of these high-grade spiritual talismans, the Chen family usually used spiritual birds to communicate. These transmission talismans were only used in the most urgent cases.
If there is no response now, then the answer is very simple. Either the two teams, Chen Guanghua and Chen Zixin, were killed, or they were all controlled by the people of the Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce, and they didn't even have the chance to use the transmission talisman to reply to the letter.
"Have you notified the head of the family?"
"Someone has been sent to teleport it."
Chen Guangming happened to be on Wutong Island at this time. After hearing the news, he hurriedly rushed over with Chen Daochong and Zhan Ping, bringing two Martial Emperor-level bronze corpses and a nine-headed bird.
The Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in the Mingguang Empire. Because in the underground world, most people on the Shenglan Continent do not know about it, but its real strength is no less than the top ten chambers of commerce, and can even rank among the top three. For hundreds of years,
Having always monopolized the foreign business of the various tribes in the Dark Forest, the Chen family was most worried about the conflict with the Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce when they first established the Longgui Valley base.
After the Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce learned that the Chen Chamber of Commerce was intervening in the business of the Green Blood Tribe, they acted extremely unfriendly, but they did not take the most violent confrontation. The two sides seemed to be in peace. Although the Chen family has not relaxed its vigilance,
But I really didn’t expect that the Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce would suddenly take action.
Chen Guangming and others arrived at the Longgui Valley base through the teleportation array. They met Chen Daohong and Chen Guangping and asked, "Where are the two teams? How many miles away are they?"
Chen Guangping said: "Guangping's Duowen tribe in the Dark Forest is more than 2,700 miles away from here; Zixin's Zhuifeng tribe in Silent Hill is more than 3,300 miles away."
Zhan Ping suddenly asked: "Where are Mu Shuang and the others now? Is there any news?"
Chen Guangping said: "Last night, news came back that they were camping at Huangshiya Waterfall."
It turned out that half a month ago, Chen Mushuang formed a team with some juniors in the clan and asked to go to the dark forest for adventurous training. This kind of exercise is a common practice among the major families. Compared with the dark forest, although it is more dangerous,
Much more, but after making thorough preparations, Chen Guangming and others agreed. At this time, the Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce launched an attack, and Zhan Ping was inevitably worried about her daughter.
Chen Daohong thought for a while and said: "This Huangshiya Waterfall seems to be not far from the Duowen tribe."
After hearing this, Chen Guangming felt something in his heart and said: "Without a martial emperor-level cultivation, flying in the underground world is no different than seeking death. There are not many strong people among us. If we travel on the ground, it will take two days at the fastest to get to the Duowen tribe.
, it is better for me to take the two worshipers and ride the nine-headed bird to the Zhuifeng tribe, hear more about the tribe, send a message to Zichang and the others, and let them go to the rescue."
Chen Guangping was surprised and said: "Except for Zichang, everyone else is a junior. Is such a thing possible?"
Chen Daochong said: "I think that's it. Didn't Zining go down the mountain at the age of fourteen? Just remember to send someone to pick him up."
Chen Daohong sighed: "It's a pity that Zi Ning has been away for a year and a half, and there is no news yet. If he was here, why would we have to worry so much?"
Chen Daochong said: "Zi Ning has his own pursuits, how can we let him be restricted to the Chen family? The future path can only be taken by all of us."
