The Path to Immortality

"If I'm right, these eight doors are just a cover-up to deceive people. In other words, what is placed inside is not the most core inheritance of Tianfeng Patriarch."

"The real core inheritance that has not been taken away is located in the seemingly non-existent Ninth Palace, the Central Palace!"

"And this Central Palace..."

Fang Ping looked around the octagonal pavilion, and his eyes finally fell on the pavilion itself.

Although it was just an inference, at this moment, Fang Ping was almost full of confidence.

The Central Palace is located in this octagonal pavilion!

Once the cultivator who broke into this place could not resist the temptation, or could not see through the real mystery, and entered any of the eight doors, he would miss the real inheritance of Tianfeng Patriarch!

"It doesn't look like a very profound arrangement, but it is not easy to solve the puzzle."

The intruder must first pass the test of character and combat power, and be able to pass the first three tests.

Secondly, he must understand the ancient Taoist texts and be proficient in the art of formation.

Finally, he must be meticulous and be able to restrain his impulse and greed.

These conditions are indispensable!

In fact, even Fang Ping, who noticed the key, took advantage of it.

He first obtained the array inheritance of Tianfeng Patriarch from the owner of Canglanjiang Water Palace, who had entered this place once.

Since it was the inheritance of this ancestor himself, it naturally included the Tianfeng Hunyuan Nine Palaces Array.

Secondly, the former intruder forcibly broke the third level, allowing Fang Ping to be exempted from the test.

If not, even if Fang Ping could eventually find the location of the Central Palace, it would inevitably take more effort and time.

Now, there is only one problem left, that is, how to open the entrance to the Central Palace!

Fang Ping released his spiritual sense again, and explored this small octagonal pavilion inside and out, back and forth dozens of times, without missing any details, but still did not find any suspicious places.

"It seems that the key to cracking is not in any physical mechanism hub."

Fang Ping thought again and again, and felt that the key to opening the Central Palace might have to start from the array.

"Array... Octagonal Pavilion... Nine Palaces..."

Fang Ping, who was at a loss for a moment, simply took out a cushion and sat on it, using the spirit eye technique to slowly observe the operation of the array of the octagonal pavilion in front of him, muttering to himself from time to time.

"The layout outside the octagonal pavilion is obviously based on the eight trigrams. Do I have to rearrange and modify it according to the Nine Palaces structure, and then the door to the true inheritance will be opened?"

"But how can an outsider change the array that has been arranged?"

"Hey, the flow of heaven and earth here seems to be a little different. The power of the consciousness can actually interfere directly."

"Could this be the modification method reserved by the Tianfeng Patriarch?"

"In that case, perhaps it can be adjusted like this..."

"No, no!"

"Strange..."

Array is profound and profound, and it is even more profound and mysterious when it comes to such a protective array.

Even if it is just a specific adjustment to the structure of the octagonal pavilion, it still consumes a lot of Fang Ping's mind.

This is because he succeeded in building his foundation, and his spiritual consciousness can be released nearly 60 feet, with a strength comparable to that of a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building. Otherwise, if Fang Ping, who is in the Qi training stage, or a cultivator who has just entered the foundation building stage, finds the key point, he can only watch helplessly!

He kept trying, sometimes excited, sometimes frustrated, sometimes confused, and sometimes suddenly realized... like a madman.

After three days of not eating or drinking, when Fang Ping's face was a little pale and his heart and strength were extremely exhausted, he finally figured out the last doubt and jumped up from the cushion.

"Haha, that's it!"

Fang Ping, who had no more doubts, released the power of his spiritual consciousness, borrowed some methods of the Soul-Calming Seal, transformed his spiritual consciousness into a "knife", and suddenly slashed at a formation node outside the octagonal pavilion.

It was obviously just a trivial "slash", but it seemed to have broken some invisible restrictions.

Amidst the subtle and low rumbling sound, the entire octagonal pavilion was constantly shaking, and the power of heaven and earth brought in by the formation was almost boiling.

Seeing the changes inside and outside the pavilion, Fang Ping's eyes were bright.

His divine thoughts continued to probe out, adjusting the eight formation nodes that were running more and more obviously.

"Boom boom boom!"

The roof of the octagonal pavilion suddenly separated to both sides under the change and manipulation of the power of the formation.

In the void of the gray mist above, a green light column fell, just enough for one person to live!

"No doubt, this is the hidden ninth door!"

Fang Ping took a step forward with confidence.

The next moment, his figure disappeared in the guidance of the green light column.

………

When he regained his vision again, Fang Ping found himself in a small quiet room.

The quiet room had no doors or windows, but the walls were full of terrible formation restrictions, isolating the inside and the outside.

Almost immediately, Fang Ping had a guess.

This is the formation hub of the entire inheritance land!

He looked around and found that there was no one in the quiet room, only a table and a chair.

On the long table, two items were quietly placed, which immediately attracted Fang Ping's attention.

On the left was a jade slip, and on the right was a brass compass that looked a little broken.

Undoubtedly, these two items should be the most core inheritance left by the Tianfeng Patriarch.

"Junior Fang Ping, I am lucky to be able to enter this place and inherit the inheritance of my predecessors. It is really a blessing in three lifetimes!"

Arriving in front of the long table, Fang Ping looked solemn and saluted respectfully.

After the ceremony, he stood up and prepared to step forward to receive the inheritance.

The next moment, Fang Ping's face changed slightly and he suddenly stopped.

On the chair behind the long table, a shadow of an old man in green robes quietly appeared, looking at him calmly.

At that moment, Fang Ping's mind turned over a hundred thoughts, even the idea of ​​fighting to the death and taking the initiative came up.

But after his spiritual sense swept over, he immediately confirmed that this shadow was just a shadow with a superficial appearance, not the legendary powerful clone.

"Don't panic, young man!"

Seeing that Fang Ping could still maintain his composure, the old man in green robes showed some satisfaction on his face and said lightly: "The person in front of you is just a residual image generated by me with the help of the Huiguang Fu, and he has no magical powers."

This made Fang Ping calm down a little.

He performed a junior's etiquette again: "Hello, Senior Tianfeng!"

After entering this place, he did not search randomly or go straight to the inheritance, but performed etiquette first, which made the old ancestor Tianfeng very satisfied.

He said: "If you can enter this place, you are qualified to receive my inheritance. The only thing I am worried about is that you are entrusted with the wrong person. I think you are of good character and can inherit my inheritance."

"The remaining power of the Huiguang Talisman is limited. I will not say any more nonsense and tell you the uses of the two inheritances!"

After that, he pointed to the compass on his right hand and introduced: "This thing is called [Tianshu Formation Plate], which is an alien treasure that I accidentally obtained after I established my foundation."

"It has no offensive power itself. Its greatest use is to assist cultivators in comprehending the formation. It can also be used to deduce, complete and improve the formation."

"Everyone knows that Master Tianfeng is an expert in both talismans and formations, especially in formations."

"But they don't know that only the talisman is the result of my own hard work."

"My attainments in formations all rely on the assistance of this [Tianshu Formation Plate]."
