In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

Passing through the dense forest, we found ourselves in front of a bare, inconspicuous rocky mountain. This mountain is only a few hundred feet high. There is no grass growing on it, and it is all covered with huge gray-white rocks.

"Okay, this is it. I'll open the outer restrictions first, and senior brother, please follow suit." Zhang Tie solemnly told Lu Yuan, and then he took out a small flag from his arms while facing the mountain.

Low spells came out from Zhang Tie's mouth in a steady stream, and at the same time, the small flag began to flicker, and gradually began to shake on its own, as if it was about to fly away.

"go with!"

Almost at the same moment, the small flag in Zhang Tie's hand shot out. With a flash of light, the small flag disappeared into a certain rock on the surface of the stone mountain and disappeared.

A moment later, the ground beneath his feet suddenly began to tremble, causing Lu Yuan to sway and almost lose his balance.

Amidst the violent tremors of the ground beneath our feet, a thin vertical crack opened in the small rocky mountain from the top of the mountain to the bottom.

This stone mountain actually seemed to be split in half from the middle.

After a short while, the stone mountain finally split into two, opening a huge crack about ten feet wide.

In the crack, a bluestone staircase leading directly to the ground appeared in front of everyone.

"Let's go." Zhang Tie briefly greeted with a flash of excitement on his face, and took the lead in walking in.

The stairs are long and lined with white moonstones on both sides. But the further down you go, the colder it becomes.

Soon after, the two of them went deep into the stone mountain about a hundred feet deep. After walking for a full meal, I came to a mysterious hall.

The hall is about tens of feet high and twenty to thirty feet long and wide, making it extremely spacious. There was a shimmering blue light inside, and strings of bubbles continued to flow from the ground to the top. Together with the faint sound of waves crashing, the two of them felt as if they were at the bottom of the sea.

Through the blue light, you can see that there are many stone platforms and shelves inside, but they are already empty, with nothing on them.

"The stone mountain outside is the first level of restriction, and here is the second level of the 'Blue Sea Tide Sound Array'." Zhang Tie explained.

Lu Yuan became interested when he heard it, and stretched out a finger to touch it lightly. Sure enough, water ripples rippled, and the scenery in the hall also became distorted.

"This formation has the effect of moving. If you enter rashly, you don't know where you will be teleported." Zhang Tie said as if he was prepared, and grabbed a first-level mutant monster pangolin from the spirit beast bag. The claws were more than a foot long, shining with a dark luster, and were thrown into the hall.

As the pangolin was thrown in, the water in the hall suddenly began to spin rapidly, and soon a vortex with the pangolin as the center appeared in it.

"Even I can't get out of this kind of spiritual energy fluctuations!" Lu Yuan felt the terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations in the whirlpool, and his expression changed involuntarily.

The whirlpool did not last long. In just a few breaths, the hall returned to calm and returned to the appearance of a dark seabed. The pangolin that Zhang Tie threw in before disappeared without a trace.

"If it's lucky, it's already on the ground several miles away. If it's not lucky, it may be several miles beneath our feet."

Zhang Tie chuckled lightly, took advantage of Lu Yuan's shock, threw a few formation flags into the hall, and then fired a few magic tricks.

The sea water in the hall suddenly split into two, leaving a passage about ten feet wide in the middle.

At the end of the passage, there is a purple mist that stretches for dozens of feet, lying like a giant monster. It is heavy and silent, giving people an unfathomable and strange feeling.

"I have already looted everything on the second floor. The yellow mist in front is the third floor restriction. Don't underestimate it, otherwise you will suffer a big loss." Zhang Tietou led the way, and the two of them walked in front of the purple mist. He stopped a few feet away.

"It looks no different from an ordinary phantom formation, except that it has more eyes. It shouldn't be difficult to attack those eyes at the same time." Lu Yuan's eyes flashed with golden light, and he felt like he could see some tricks.

"Senior brother, you are really good at showing off. What you see is exactly what he wants you to see." Zhang Tie curled his lips, pinched his fingers, and a fireball the size of a longan appeared on his fingertips.

"See what you can do!" Lu Yuan rolled his eyes, taking advantage of the situation, he took out a cigarette of the soul and lit it, waiting to see what Zhang Tie was up to.

"Senior brother, be careful!" Zhang Tie warned and hit the fireball towards Ziwu.

The orange-red yellow light flashed away, and soon the purple mist rolled, and a fireball as big as a washbasin suddenly shot out of the purple mist.

"What the hell!" Lu Yuan quickly released a layer of sword and shield to block the fireball attack.

"You don't mean to say that this fireball was the one you just threw in, right?"

"Brother is right, the function of the third level of restriction is mapping. Attacks that try to destroy the formation will be bounced back dozens of times. Moreover, if the person who takes action has a cultivation level above pill formation, the formation will also automatically Explode!" Zhang Tie said with shining eyes as he looked at the purple mist.

"Stop showing off to me, tell me your plan!" Lu Yuan said angrily.

Zhang Tie didn't show any sign of dissatisfaction, but instead patted his own storage bag. A dozen small flags of different colors flew out from it, then gently rotated around him, and then Zhang Tie pointed at these formation flags.

Suddenly more than a dozen rays of light flew up, and the formation flags were divided into two evenly, arranged in a certain pattern, faintly forming two Beidou formations floating gently in the sky.

"This is called the Beidou Liangyi Formation. Let me break it with my formation!" Zhang Tie opened his hands, and the two Beidou Seven Star formations were submerged into the second layer of restricted water curtain.

Immediately afterwards, two blue dragons suddenly condensed in the water curtains on both sides of the passage and rushed straight towards the purple mist.

The purple mist rolled and easily defused the dragon's attack, and reflected two blue dragons that were several times larger than before to fight back.

At this time, those formation flags had already made a low and long sound. More than a dozen beams of light burst out from these small flags, converging into a thick beam of light on the water curtains on both sides.

The water curtains on both sides began to rotate rapidly, moving the counterattack restricted by the third layer to nowhere.

"This is..." Lu Yuan seemed to understand something when he saw this.

At this moment, Zhang Tie's eyes were gleaming, and he unceremoniously threw several more spells onto the formation flag in the water curtain.

The second level of restrictions began to oscillate regularly, and blue dragons flew out one after another, rushing towards the purple mist.

Ziwu naturally counterattacked not to be outdone, reflecting the same number of more powerful dragons.

Zhang Tiepan sat down, and spiritual power surged out of his body. Suddenly, the light beams of various colors gathered from more than a dozen formation flags began to shoot continuously.

Not long after, a shocking scene occurred.

The entire second level of restriction was actually controlled by Zhang Tie, as if a monster came to life, slowly pressing against Ziwu.

"Bang" "Bang"...

A series of deafening explosions came from the place where the two sides interacted. Under the movement of the second layer of restrictions, Ziwu's power quickly weakened. Especially under Zhang Tie's deliberate guidance, a blue water-marked channel emerged from the purple mist.

"I can't hold on for long, senior brother, it's your turn. Most of the power of the third level of restriction has been restrained by me. Just go in and find the formation's eye and break its connection with brute force." Zhang Tie gasped. , thin beads of sweat have appeared on his forehead.

Lu Yuan did not dare to delay and flew into the blue channel. Not long after entering, Lu Yuan discovered that the purple mist that looked extremely dense from the outside slowly became thinner inside.

It seems that what Zhang Tie said is right. The power of this restriction is indeed restrained by him, so he appears to be strong on the outside but capable on the inside.

Lu Yuan's eyes burst with golden light, and everything in the purple mist became clearly visible.

Countless slender purple light strips wandered erratically in the purple mist, as if they were alive, controlling the entire third-level formation.

The place where the purple light belts intersect and emit the most should be the formation eye.

Touch your eyebrows lightly with your fingers, and a golden ocean pours out. In order to ensure that one blow was effective, Lu Yuan released more than a hundred golden blades at once, and then performed the 'Giant Sword Technique'. A golden giant sword more than ten feet long was condensed and slashed down with a thunderous force.

This is infinitely close to the attack of the Danjie monk!

Outside the purple mist, Zhang Tie continued to spray white gas from his mouth and nose, reaching the limit.

Just when he was almost unable to hold on any longer, there was an explosion in the purple mist on the opposite side. Purple mist, which was about to break free from the restraints of the water curtain, suddenly seemed to have lost its resistance.

He was sucked into the whirlpool by the water curtain, and then moved to an unknown place.

By this time, the purple mist had already dispersed and became clearly visible, revealing everything that had been shrouded in it. It was a square secret room with a length and width of about five feet each.

Zhang Tie packed up the formation flag and walked in.

The top of the secret room is also inlaid with several fist-sized luminous pearls, which illuminate the place in a milky white color. The surrounding walls are dotted with stars, as if some magic has been cast on them, making them look extremely beautiful.

In addition to the entrance to the secret room, there are two semicircular side doors, one on the left and one on the right, and it seems that there are two side halls.

Lu Yuan, who came in first, was studying something in the side hall on the right.

Zhang Tie walked over in a few steps, and when he saw clearly what Lu Yuan was looking at, he showed a look of surprise.

Only a skeleton as white as jade was seen, exuding a dull brilliance, but he was kneeling on the ground, looking extremely strange.

In front of him, there was a three-foot-square bluestone platform on which were placed several high-end storage bags, a simple-looking token, and five three-foot-long triangular flags.

"It's just a big moving order, and the storage bag is full of jade slips and the like," Lu Yuan curled his lips when he saw Zhang Tie coming in.

"Is this?" Zhang Tie ignored Lu Yuan's complaints and stared straight at the five triangular flags, as if he was stupid.

"The Innate Five Elements Flag! It's actually the Innate Five Elements Flag!" Zhang Tie suddenly roared, then came to Lu Yuan, grabbed Lu Yuan's arms and shook him crazily.

"That's it? Why can't I feel any spiritual power?" Lu Yuan broke away from Zhang Tie, picked up one side and studied it.

"Because your method is wrong!" After Zhang Tie said this, he carefully picked up a small red flag and made a magic trick that Lu Yuan could not understand.

Sure enough, the flag shook, and a red flame flashed at the top.

"This is the Southern Fire Flag, that one is the Central Thick Earth Flag, the Western Sharp Gold Flag, the Eastern Giant Wood Flag, and the Southern Flood Flag." Zhang Tie couldn't stop the excitement on his face and read out the small flags one by one. name.

"The Innate Five Elements Flag is a spiritual treasure refined by ancient monks based on the prehistoric spiritual treasure, the Innate Five Directions Flag."

"The formations in the world are ever-changing, but they are inseparable from their origins. No matter how wonderful the formations are, they cannot be separated from the Tao of the Five Elements. The Innate Five Elements Flag not only represents the Five Elements, but also contains the Tao of the evolution of the Five Elements. It is the formation master The supreme treasure that we all dream of.”

"With these five-pole formation flags, you only need to master the changes in their combinations, and you can lay out a series of strange gate formations with a snap of your fingers. Similarly, if these innate five-element flags are used to break formations, it is also easy!"

"But it's a pity that these five-pole formation flags are imitations." Zhang Tie said with emotion.

"Imitation? You boasted so much just now." Lu Yuan was disappointed.

"If the innate Five Elements Flag is truly genuine, we won't be able to use it. I learned from the True Explanation of a Formation that only the rumored God Transformation monks can control the Innate Five Elements Flag.

Although these five poles are imitations, with my cultivation level in the foundation building period, it is difficult to control them freely. If you break through to the pill formation stage, you should be able to barely control it. "

"When the time comes, it will be easy to trap the Nascent Soul cultivator with this imitation of the Innate Five Elements Flag!"

......

More than half a month later, Yuanwu Kingdom, Baichi Mountain.

Here, some casual cultivators and monks from cultivating immortal families often gather here to exchange some gossip about the cultivating world. Of course, they also take the opportunity to trade items.

Baichi Mountain is not very far from Xin Ruyin's Wuming Mountain, and Xin Ruyin and Qi Yunxiao have participated several times before. Of course, such small local gatherings are mostly attended by cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, with few monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage attending.

There are three peaks in Baichi Mountain. The most dangerous and highest one, the West Peak, is where many immortal cultivators gather.

There is not only an ancient temple built on the entire peak, but also a dozen large and small stone pavilions, where many immortal cultivators gathered in groups and had long talks.

Outside the pavilion and the temple, some monks were also sparsely walking back and forth.

It seems that some people have already arrived early for this Baichi Mountain gathering.

Lu Yuan and Zhang Tie watched for a while over the peak, then landed in a remote corner of the peak and casually walked towards several nearby stone pavilions.

With Lu Yuan's powerful spiritual consciousness, he quickly scanned the monks in the stone pavilion.

One of them, a stone pavilion where five immortal cultivators were having a long talk, came into the eyes of Lu Yuan and the two.

Especially when I saw a certain black-faced boy sitting among them, I couldn't help but cheer up and walked over without hesitation.

"Two junior brothers, please keep me waiting." At the same time, someone stood up in the stone pavilion, and it was Han Li who was here to inquire about the news.

When they parted ways at Baimang Mountain, the three of them had agreed to come back to Baichi Mountain in Yuanwu Kingdom after finishing their respective affairs.

There were several other people in the stone pavilion, but they were all casual cultivators in the Qi refining period. When these people saw Lu Yuan and the others coming in, they were startled at first and immediately fell silent.

But after discovering that Lu Yuan and Han Li were on the same team, several people showed a hint of uneasiness on their faces and stood up to say goodbye to Han Li.
