Chapter 529

Although Zhang Yan had tried his best, the span of the last barrier of Tongxuan Realm was still far beyond his imagination.

Even though his semi-immortal body is nearly half as strong as it was more than a year ago, he still hasn't really touched the last hurdle.

In fact, if it weren't for the worrying news that Hong Mingguo often sent back, Zhang Yan himself would not be busy breaking through to the Tongxuan Realm.He could even stay in Tongxuan Realm for another ten years with peace of mind.

But it is obvious that Huang Tianyu's current situation cannot give him another ten years, and even giving him another year seems to be enough.

Just a few days ago, Baronka and Xu Fengyang had returned to the God Realm again.Even if there is a sword formation arranged by Zhang Yan to guard the entrance and exit of the God Realm, it is not foolproof. If there is another gap in the space between the God Realm and the normal world like the previous monsters, the usefulness of the sword formation will be weakened by most.

In addition, for Xu Fengyang and Baronka, staying in the lower realm does not play much role.They are still used to staying in the God Realm.

Over the past decade or so, Baronka's strength has risen rapidly.And Xu Fengyang fell behind Baronka.

On the one hand, Baronka deliberately postponed the practice tips given by Zhang Yan and did not give them to Xu Fengyang immediately afterwards, which delayed Xu Fengyang a lot of time.

On the other hand, when Xu Fengyang came to Duanya Mountain last time and wanted to take advantage of Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan gave him a good meal.The penetrating chest injury made him work hard to recover for the first five years, and with another calculation by Baronka, the superposition of the two sides naturally fell behind.

But Xu Fengyang didn't say a word about it.Honestly recuperating, accepting the result of being swayed by Baronka honestly, honestly began to integrate the soul art of the turtle and some basic spiritual knowledge given by Zhang Yan to integrate his own practice system.

But no matter for Xu Fengyang or Baronka, these ten years are still too short.Although the progress is not small, it is tantamount to daydreaming to completely integrate the method that I have practiced for thousands of years with the spiritual practice system in ten years.If it wasn't for the resurgence in the Huangtian Territory, they would not want to move.

So now the entire lower realm of Huangtianyu is controlled by Zhang Yan.

As for the Yaozu, they were lucky both times, and they were not affected by the tearing of space at all.Unless the Huangtian Territory was suppressed and fell into a desperate situation of being torn apart, there was no need to take care of the Yaozu's territory for the time being.

And the unlucky human race who bear the brunt now has the most basic self-protection power.This force is divided into two parts.

One is the part of the power selected by Zhang Yan to form the "Zhou Tian Star Fighting Formation".These forces can split and combine to participate in the future fight with alien creatures in a relatively flexible way.

The second is the warrior system that existed before, and it is also the system with the largest number. These forces will form battle formations with soldiers from various countries to deal with the relatively low invading forces that inevitably exist in the opposite world.

Of course, they are all assumptions, and no one knows whether they will work or not.

But just when time was pressing in all aspects, Zhang Yan was suddenly interrupted from his practice and opened his eyes.At first, there was a flash of doubt, and then the corners of the mouth slightly turned up.

accident?Of course it was unexpected.Zhang Yan didn't expect that there would be an aura that was different from the human race, the demon race, and the demon species around his cliff mountain.And these breaths are also accompanied by not weak soul fluctuations and mana fluctuations.

Are there creatures with this special aura and cultivation base in the Desolate Heaven Territory?

The answer can be known without thinking. These strange creatures that suddenly broke into the range of the cliff mountain must not be roots in the wild sky, but the extraterritorial creatures that Zhang Yan has been waiting to appear.

"It's actually possible to sneak in before the world officially starts to tear apart. Tsk tsk, these things seem to have a good understanding of space.

However, it seems that the means of spells and magic circles do not match their cultivation.Somewhat strange. "

Over the years, Zhang Yan's perception has become more and more integrated into the nature of the world with his cultivation base and the continuous cultivation of the immortal essence to the primordial spirit.Just like his physical body, the closer he gets to the fairy body, the closer he is to the origin of heaven and earth.Now as long as he is willing, not to mention the surrounding area of ​​Cliff Mountain, every plant and tree in the entire Changhu County can be shrouded in his perception.And no one can notice.

Do you feel that a gust of wind and a ray of sunshine are different?No, then you won't feel anything strange about Zhang Yan's perceptual envelope.

Zhang Yan arranged many magic circles around the cliff mountain.One by one, they are like dense spider webs, each one is entangled with the other continuously, and all of them are rooted in the leylines at the foot of the cliff mountain, relying on the aura below the mountain endlessly.

The most peripheral of these magic circles are actually some basic detection circles, which will not have any active power effects, and only exist as a "visitor reminder that will not make a sound".The purpose is to remind the disciples who are in charge of the external affairs of Duanya Mountain and the disciples who guard the mountain gate.

It belongs to a very low-level but very concealed magic circle.Low level because its power is simple.Concealment is because it is too simple, and clear water is naturally difficult to be noticed.

But even concealment should have a limit.In Zhang Yan's perception, the mana fluctuations of the three extraterritorial creatures that broke into the range of the cliff mountain were all in the early to middle stage of the combined state.

With such a cultivation base, there is no reaction to the formation on the outermost edge of the cliff mountain.This is abnormal and contradictory.

The contradiction lies in the fact that Zhang Yan, the cornerstone of the formation method that Wang Nian found from the Hongming Guoxiu Yuehai site, had actually discovered it after more than a year of research.The texture of the magic circle is exquisite and a different way.For a time, Zhang Yan felt that although the other party was not good at refining weapons, the construction of the magic circle should be very powerful.

But the performance of the three extraterritorial creatures in front of him was contrary to Zhang Yan's previous judgment on their attainment of formations.

Either these three people's dabbling in formations is so shallow that they can't represent the level of formations in the opposite world.But this may be too far-fetched, Zhang Yan thinks it is unlikely.After all, they are the spies sent in advance. Judging by their strength, they must be the elite who have been selected from thousands of people. They won't leave such an obvious shortcoming, right?

The other possibility is that the cultivation system of these creatures outside the territory is also incomplete, with a hammer here and a hammer here.Whether it is the refining method or the magic circle, they are all very scientific.

The space magic circle is exquisite, but it doesn't necessarily have such a magnificent precipitation and foundation as the Taoism gate.

These thoughts and conjectures just came to a conclusion in Zhang Yan's mind in an instant.For an incomplete world similar to the Desolate Sky Territory, you can't expect it to give birth to the same magnificent practice methods as the legendary era of the earth.

I sent a sound transmission to Wang Nian and the others, and asked them to restrain their disciples from going down the mountain.Then Zhang Yan disappeared from the secret room of Dengyun Palace.The next moment appeared at the foot of the mountain.

Wearing a coarse cloth bunt, with a hatchet pinned to his waist, and dry firewood on his back.Completely dressed as a woodcutter in the mountains.

Chapter 530 The Woodcutter

The three three-eyed people have changed their appearance now from when they were in Hong Mingguo. They came all the way through the air, constantly adjusting their illusioned appearances along the way.

The third vertical eye on the forehead and the problem of the other two eyes being too slender are easy to solve. After the blinding method is used, ordinary people on the road will not be able to see the flaws.Even a martial artist can hardly tell the truth from the fake and will be concealed.

But apart from the special difference of three eyes, the three-eyed people are also different from the people in Huangtianyu in terms of body shape.They were all more than seven feet tall, close to eight feet tall, and they were very thin, with even more slender limbs.It would be a little troublesome to hide this posture by blindfolding.So they will choose to cover up as much as possible while choosing the road with as few people as possible, and by the way, they can collect some information from various places.At night, it flies directly in the sky.

In less than a month, they arrived at Nanyuan Country from Hong Ming Country, and drove straight all the way to the foot of the cliff mountain in Changhu County.

The closer you are to this side, the more legends you can hear about the cliff mountain.What is one of the three strong men in Huangtianyu, who once saved a country from fire and water by himself.

Especially the latter legend made the three three-eyed people attach great importance to it.In their view, the so-called "saving a country from fire and water" should refer to a world swallowing that Huang Tianyu once experienced.And in that process, Huang Tianyu won, and there was also a hand-to-hand battle between the creatures of the two worlds, but it was resolved by the strong man on the cliff mountain.

This needs to be treated with caution.A strong man who has experienced fighting life in the world is definitely not easy to deal with.So the closer they got to the cliff mountain, the more cautious the three three-eyed people would be.

"There is so much aura here!"

The three three-eyed people crossed the outermost warning circle of the cliff mountain that they hadn't noticed, and officially stepped into the range of the cliff mountain, and immediately felt the huge difference between here and the outside, the difference in aura.

Everyone has the same path, and they are naturally the most sensitive to aura.As soon as you step into the range of the cliff mountain, even if it is only a step away, you can clearly feel the difference between the sky and the earth.

"This is actually a place where extremely rare spiritual veins gather! Could it be the spiritual energy of this world?"

"Have you noticed? The aura here did not spread out as usual, but was blocked by the boundary line we just passed behind us, and kept lingering only in a fixed area. This seems to be a kind of The power of the formation?"

"Formation? Impossible? Prism Realm has only begun to make achievements in formations. Now only a few elders and god kings have mastered powerful formations, but they have not yet been able to use them in actual combat. Huangtian How could there be a mature formation in such a remote world as the Domain? They even have an extremely limited understanding of the power of rules."

"Although it does seem unlikely to be a formation as you said, it does look like a formation. Be careful, everyone. Nothing is impossible under the differences of the world."

Although there are differences, the emotions among the three three-eyed people are very stable, and they seem to be able to quickly reach a compromise with their differences instinctively.Adding a central opinion will naturally form the consensus of everyone in the end.

As he walked, he felt the environment with more and more aura, and even the three three-eyed people were breathing heavily subconsciously. The essence of their breathing technique was almost the same as that of the cliff mountain.At the same time, it gradually made the same emotion appear in their eyes: greed.

"If we can practice in this kind of place, then our cultivation speed can be increased by at least [-]%!"

"This is still at the bottom of the mountain. You also feel that the closer you get to that mountain, the stronger the aura is, right? If it's on the top of the mountain, the aura there is probably several times stronger than where we are!

It must be taken down here! "

"That's right! This place must be taken down!" The three three-eyed people were equally determined in their hearts.This may be an absolute big gain for them.It is a great harvest worth cutting and bringing back to the Prism Realm together with the god king and the elders.

But before that, they need a deeper understanding of this mysterious cliff mountain.

The aura at the foot of the mountain is still like this, so what will the human races in the mountain who call themselves monks look like?

Suddenly, a melodious and slightly hoarse singing voice came from the mountain.It caused the three three-eyed people to look in the direction of the voice.

The ups and downs of the singing also made the three three-eyed people think it was quite pleasant.

"Chopping firewood and crossing the mountain and the slope, the mountain is dragging its tail.

The pheasant on the mountain swings its tail, spreads its wings and flies over the tiger and wolf nest...

When chopping firewood, don't cut down the pine trees on the mountain. Small pine trees are of great use.

One day the pine tree supports the sky and dares to block the southeast and northwest winds..."

Woodcutter?

The three three-eyed people looked at each other with the corners of their mouths upturned.They came here to find out what is true in this cliff mountain.The situation in the mountains did not dare to rush in, for fear of leaking traces and causing trouble.Wouldn't it be good to meet a woodcutter now?Even if you can't see the whole picture of the mountain, you can definitely understand some of the situation in the mountain.

With one dodge, the three three-eyed men approached the source of the singing by deceiving their eyes, and soon saw a woodcutter coming down from the mountain forest with a large pile of firewood on his back.He was probably in his early thirties, with an unshaven beard and a patched bunt, with sweat on his forehead and stains on his cheeks.But there was a smile on his face, probably because he was thinking about going down the mountain to go home, so he was in a good mood.

"Why don't you just take his memory away like before?"

"Here at the foot of the cliff mountain, according to the information we collected along the way, it is very clear that trespassing is not allowed near the cliff mountain. Apart from a posthouse in Nanyuan country more than ten miles away, you can also Have you seen other people? It is definitely not easy for this woodcutter to come in and chop wood."

"Are you worried that killing him will attract the attention of Cliff Mountain?"

"Yes. Such precious information is very important. You should be extremely careful. It is better to use illusion. Although it is more troublesome, it will not leave any flaws."

"Well, it's better to be more cautious. So let's start casting spells."

After the three three-eyed people exchanged opinions with each other using their spiritual sense, one of the three-eyed people made a move, creating an illusion to cover the unsuspecting woodcutter who was unaware of the danger.

In just an instant, the melodious folk song came to an abrupt end.The woodcutter also stood there blankly, but there was an inexplicable fear in his eyes.

"Under the illusion of spiritual consciousness, this person will be in a kind of fear illusion created by his own subconscious. He will answer whatever we ask. It is impossible for him to have the slightest resistance with the strength of his soul."

"That's good. Let's go, go down and ask what is the mystery in this cliff mountain."

Three three-eyed men then appeared beside the woodcutter.

"What's your name, why can you come to the cliff mountain to chop firewood?"

Chapter 531 Acting

Zhang Yan has his plan.

The situation in Cliff Mountain cannot be kept from the other party's knowledge at all, but they cannot be known too much.Need to grasp the proportions.

As for directly exterminating these alien creatures that invaded the cliff mountain, Zhang Yan had no such intention from the beginning.

Why kill it?Just a few extraterritorial creatures that are probing forward, even if they are extinct, they can't change any problems.Isn't this a disguised way to increase the difficulty of defense?

So Zhang Yan told the disciples in the mountain not to come down the mountain, and he came out to meet them himself, in order to make good use of this accident and turn it into another possibility that is beneficial to Huangtianyu and Duanya Mountain.

Even after Zhang Yan approached, the three extraterritorial creatures couldn't find him.

The other party's deception method is so common, it can't be called exquisite at all, even a second-generation disciple of Duanya Mountain like Wang Nian can do better than these three extraterritorial creatures.This also further confirmed Zhang Yan's previous guess that these extraterritorial creatures are still very partial in terms of practice.It is far from being as perfect and magnificent as Daomen.

With Zhang Yan's ability, he naturally saw through the opponent's deception at a glance, and also saw the opponent's true face at once.

how to say?

As far as Zhang Yan is concerned, these extraterritorial creatures in front of him look much more pleasing to the eye than the previous monsters.It is also in the form of a human, and has the same distribution of limbs as the human race. Although there are differences, they are not so different.The limbs are slender, and there is an extra vertical eye on the forehead, this is the main difference.

In addition, these extraterritorial creatures seem to have a silent means of communication, which does not rely on mana or spells, and only needs their hands to rest on their companions.

Is it telepathic?

Afterwards, Zhang Yan had no choice but to speak by himself, arousing the other party's idea with a folk song he heard from a woodcutter in other mountains, and then he formally entered the role of woodcutter that he specially played.

I was thinking of using illusion to cover the other party first, but I didn't expect the other party to use this idea.This made Zhang Yan change his mind immediately, and chose to stand still for the time being, wanting to see what the other party was going to do first.Because the illusion was used, it meant that the other party didn't want to use force against him for the time being.Could it be that he also wants to find out his reality?

So Zhang Yan directly acted according to his current identity as a woodcutter. He didn't even try to dodge or shield the opponent's illusion, and he endured it, just like an ordinary woodcutter should have. look.

It's just that Zhang Yan's current soul doesn't care about this level of illusion at all. While showing his expression and reaction according to the power of illusion, he can observe the other party in an upright manner.

"What's your name, why can you come to the cliff mountain to chop firewood?"

Just this one question can already stand up the cautious attitude of these three extraterrestrial creatures.Sure enough, those who were sent to investigate did not have fuel-efficient lamps.

"My name is Zhang Er. The firewood was cut outside the cliff mountain. I took a shortcut from the back to deliver firewood to the monks and masters on the cliff mountain." Zhang Yan's reaction was not slow.Although acting was not his original plan, it seems good for him to follow the other party's train of thought now.

The firewood is from the firewood house in the mountain, and Zhang Yan moved it here.It is true that it was not cut in the cliff mountain.The mountains are almost full of spirit species or spirit-like species, it would be a pity to chop them down and use them as firewood.Therefore, the firewood burned in the mountains is collected from outside.Not enough is not delivered by someone, but by the disciples of the lower sect to go to the town to buy it, and then put it back in the storage bag after buying it.

So Zhang Yan's answer is half-truth and half-false.Not to mention fooling these three-eyed people, generally people who have not studied the cliff mountain carefully can also be fooled.

Sure enough, the three three-eyed people looked at the firewood on Zhang Yan's back after hearing the words, and then nodded.These firewood really don't look like the surrounding vegetation with a little aura.

"You said you are going to go up the cliff mountain now, right?"

"Yes."

"Do you know how many monks there are in the mountains?"

"I don't know. But at least 200 people. In the past few years, I heard that the mountain accepts 50 apprentices at a time, and now there should be more than 200 people." Zhang Yan's expression seemed to be trapped in fear, but his voice was as unrestrained as a machine. A nonchalant answer.

"Huh? Are you saying that Cliff Mountain has only recently started recruiting?"

"Yes, it's only been a dozen years."

Only ten years? !

The three three-eyed people glanced at each other again, and they didn't expect that the cliff mountain actually belonged to the "newborn" stage.In such a short period of time, even if the sect master is indeed very strong, the power of the cliff mountain must be limited in such a short period of time.This invisibly directly lowered the "strength" of Cliff Mountain by several levels.

"200 people, isn't this enough firewood?" He seemed more relaxed in his heart, but the question was closely related to the news that Zhang Yan said before.Little did they know that Zhang Yan deliberately exposed the opening for them to crawl along.

"Not enough, the firewood on my back is only enough for three to five days. After this trip, I have to send it a few more times." Seeing the other party taking the bait, Zhang Yan's voice remained calm.He himself probably didn't expect that he would be so stable in acting.

Sure enough, I heard one of the three-eyed people say: "You can find helpers, ask three more people to help, just run once."

"I don't have the money to hire someone to help. And the firewood hasn't been chopped yet. I'm planning to go to the back hill to chop some for the second trip tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"You don't have to worry about these. The two of us happen to be fine, we are your friends, and we will bring firewood with you to go up the mountain. Do you understand?"
