Fortune Teller

As the formation unfolded, Gu Xiuyun seemed to be trapped in a wasteland.

The earth cracked, flames steamed up, and clusters of sparks streaked around him, flying like sharp arrows, leaving behind a harsh sound of breaking through the air.

Gu Xiuyun was doing two things at once, staring at the formation diagram and activating the Black Armor of the Spirit Turtle to deduce the changes. At the same time, the spiritual energy around him was filled with waves, and turned into light curtains to resist the remaining power of the flames.

Gu Xiuyun has never practiced the secret technique of spiritual armor. His physical body alone cannot withstand the Lihuo in the formation. This is the spiritual flame. Even a demonic beast that is good at body refining will have to burn through a large area of ​​skin if it is touched by the sparks. What's more, it's a human cultivator?

The human race majors in the spiritual pulse realm, while the monster beasts major in the physical body. When they are in the pulse cleansing realm, there is not much difference between the two races, and their bodies are both quite tough.

After entering the pulse-opening realm, as their cultivation became deeper and deeper, the physical gap between them also became wider and wider.

A third-level celestial monster in the Kai Pulse Realm can collapse a hill with its physical body alone. Its strength is as high as one million kilograms, but the human body can't even weigh thirty thousand kilograms.

Not even monsters can resist being burned by Lihuo, let alone humans?

Human practitioners are not good at physical combat.

Gu Xiuyun's body shape was like the wind, constantly changing within the formation, traveling several feet with almost every breath, and there were always flames flying around him, and flaming arrows streaked through the void, leaving streaks of rainbow light.

"Li Huoran's original formation has two attack methods, one is the flaming arrows, and the other is the heat wave that permeates the formation. The flaming arrows are extremely lethal, but they are very few in number, but they are extremely fast, so they appear to be everywhere. Void. With my deduction method, it is not difficult to avoid the flaming arrows. The real threat is the terrifying heat within the formation."

Gu Xiuyun walked in the formation with a calm expression, taking almost every step in the safest direction.

With the formation diagram demonstrated in front of him, every step of the Lihuo Formation was already in his mind. Gu Xiuyun even knew how many steps he had to take next to pass through the Lihuo Formation.

Gu Xiuyun understood that Lihuo Formation no longer posed a threat to him, but even so, he still had to expend 30% of his spiritual energy to resist the ubiquitous high temperature heat wave.

"If I could master a secret defense technique, why would I have to spend 30% of my spiritual power to withstand the high temperature? Unfortunately, apart from the Secret Technique Hall, only the masters of the peaks can teach the Wuhen Sect's secret techniques. I can't learn them even if I want to. Come." Gu Xiuyun shook his head and sighed.

For human practitioners, 90% of their combat strength is based on the secrets of immortality and spiritual weapons. Without relying on these two, spiritual power alone cannot exert even 10% of their strength.

After all, the human race is not like monsters. The monsters are physically strong. With their brute strength and magical powers, they can have overwhelming power. Whether they have secret methods or not, it makes little difference to them.

After a long time, the Lihuo Formation returned to calm, and Gu Xiuyun stepped out of the forbidden platform and climbed to the third floor.

The third level is a Gengjin Formation.

The formation was filled with sword light, and the silver sword light fell like a drizzle, with almost no room to hide.

"As expected, the difficulty of the third level has increased a lot. If this Gengjin Formation is used to its extreme, it is enough to kill the first-level celestial beast." Gu Xiuyun's heart sank slightly, "According to this situation, the further you go, the more difficult the formation will be. The higher the difficulty, if I don’t use the secret method of immortality, I may stop at the first ten levels.”

After entering three forbidden formations in a row, Gu Xiuyun had already calculated the power of the formation behind them. He understood that he had underestimated the forbidden formations.

He originally thought that with the help of Tianji deduction, the first twenty levels would not be a problem, but just the second level caused him to lose 30% of his spiritual energy. The Gengjin Formation on the third level made Gu Xiuyun even more miserable, without even a chance to rest.

It can be seen that the formation on the Forbidden Mountain is not simple.

In fact, that's right. Those disciples of the Wuhen Sect have not been immersed in the formation method for decades. Even if they are less talented, after decades of hard training, their understanding of the formation method is far more than that of Gu Xiuyun. With his cultivation level, he has only broken through more than ten levels of formation restrictions.

Gu Xiuyun has only been practicing the formation for ten days, so how can he compare with the decades of understanding that disciples of the Wuhen Sect have mastered.

The reason why he was able to easily break through the Wu Tu Formation and the Lihuo Formation was not because Gu Xiuyun was highly talented in the formation path, but because he used celestial means to deduce the formation diagram and understood the changes in the formation in advance. This was cheating and did not count as an understanding of the formation path at all.

If the heavenly secret deduction was stopped, Gu Xiuyun's level in the formation would probably be worse than Fu Lan's.

Even if there is a divine deduction, the difficulty of the subsequent formations is too high, and Gu Xiuyun must use the secret method of the immortal way to successfully get through it.

It is absolutely impossible to rely on spiritual power alone.

"Am I going to admit defeat?" Gu Xiuyun's heart sank slightly.

He has deduced that even if he uses his methods to the extreme, he can only stop at the tenth level. After that, if he does not use the secret method of immortality, there is no hope.

However, several of the secret techniques he practiced were not passed down in the Wuhen Sect at all. Once used, they would attract the attention of the Wuhen Sect's senior officials.

Those secret techniques of immortality are not his Six Deduction Techniques.

The Six Secrets of Deduction has no roots and origins. Even if others ask, Gu Xiuyun can deduce that it is a secret book that he obtained accidentally.

However, Li Chen Dun and Lian Guang Finger were both passed down from the Weak Water Sect, and there are traces to follow. It would be too suspicious for a disciple of the Wuhen Sect to practice the secret techniques of the Weak Water Sect without using the secret methods of this sect.

"Looking at the current situation, there is no hope of breaking into the fourteenth floor before the sermon at the beginning of the month." Gu Xiuyun looked calm. "In this case, we have to find a way to delay the time."

time flies.

Soon, the Gengjin Formation was also broken through, and Gu Xiuyun stepped onto the fourth floor.

Taoist Mingfang stood on the fifteenth floor and did not move forward. He had already tried to break through to the sixteenth floor, but he could not even survive half a stick of incense. It was obvious that the gap was quite large.

Taoist Mingfang knew very well that this was because he had only cultivated one intermediate secret technique to Dacheng. If he could master three intermediate techniques at the same time and cultivate them all to Dacheng, there would be hope for him to break through the first twenty levels.

"Hmph, even if there are only fifteen levels, it is still enough to win the spirit bag." Looking at Gu Xiuyun who slowly walked into the fourth level of the forbidden platform, Taoist Mingfang smiled, "The first ten levels have also broken through like this. "Slowly, it shows that this person has nothing to cultivate, and his attainments in the secret arts are far inferior to mine."

Gu Xiuyun and Taoist Mingfang remained calm, but the disciples below were waiting anxiously.

Gu Xiuyun's speed in breaking through the formation was extremely slow. It took him half an hour to pass through the first level. If he continued at this rate, he would not be able to complete the formation's forbidden mountain even if it got dark.

Two hours later, most of the disciples watching around him had left, and only a few people were still watching.

"Senior Brother Mingji, have we been waiting here?" the disciple behind Taoist Mingji asked, "The homework assigned by Master has not been completed today!"

"Wait for another hour." Taoist Mingji frowned slightly. It was indeed not worth wasting his time here just to be sulky.

But this matter was caused by Taoist Mingji. If he were to leave, Junior Brother Mingfang would probably not look good on his face.

Several fellow disciples looked at each other helplessly, sat down cross-legged, closed their eyes and began to practice.

Another hour passed, and Gu Xiuyun finally broke through the fifth-level forbidden platform. He stumbled out of the platform and was about to continue climbing when he heard a cold shout coming from below.

"stop!"

Gu Xiuyun turned around and saw that it was Taoist Mingji.

"Senior brother, what advice do you have?" Gu Xiuyun asked.

"I'm not talking about advice. I just want to persuade you to admit defeat. This matter is also a battle of wills. Your defeat has been determined, so why bother struggling?" Taoist Mingji said coldly.

"Oh, the defeat has been decided?" Gu Xiuyun smiled lightly, "I think we are evenly matched. The winner is still undecided, so how can we admit defeat?"

"We all have things to do. We can't wait here forever. Let's watch you slowly enter the formation!" Taoist Mingji's fellow disciples shouted, "Besides, tomorrow is the beginning of the month, and the mountain masters of each peak have to give sermons, so we have to rush back. Listen."

"I will never admit defeat anyway. Why don't you persuade that Taoist to admit defeat and let me win the bet and then let it go." Gu Xiuyun said with a smile.

Taoist Mingji looked to the other side.

"Senior Brother Mingji, the spirit bag is quite precious, I can't give it up." Taoist Mingfang shook his head.

If it were an ordinary treasure, it would be okay to admit defeat, but the spirit bag is extremely rare. If you miss it, the next time you want to get this thing, you won't know how long it will be in the Year of the Monkey.

Looking at the two sides who were unwilling to give up, Taoist Mingji frowned, and even felt a little regretful in his heart. If he had known this, why would he bother Gu Xiuyun just for a moment's satisfaction?

He himself also knew that Gu Xiuyun was not the disciple who secretly scolded him as an afterthought, but he could not admit it because of his face.

"Since Dao Brother Mingfang is unwilling to admit defeat, it is better for me to continue to fight. However, the further back I go, the more powerful the formation will be, and the longer it will take me. In addition to healing and restoring spiritual power, it will take about four or five years. Days of time." Gu Xiuyun said with a smile.
