Chapter 98: Ancient Spirit Gathering Formation
This giant stone formation, what kind of formation is it that has attracted so many powerful individuals to go crazy for it? He followed the flat dirt road between the giant stones, going straight forward. Due to fear of triggering some sort of restriction, Ye Chen was being especially cautious.
Walked carefully for a while, but this road was very peaceful and didn't encounter any trouble.
"Ah Li, have you ever seen this kind of formation before?" Ye Chen asked. Ah Li knew a lot of things, but when he encountered something he didn't understand, Ye Chen would ask him.
The raccoon dog shook its head and let out a few high-pitched cries.
Ye Chen understood some of it, Ah Li said that this formation, although he had never seen it before, could be certain that it wouldn't harm people.
Since it wouldn't hurt anyone, Ye Chen's hanging heart finally put down, and he walked towards the center of the formation. The closer he got to the center of the formation, the more dense the aura was. It seemed that the air machine in his body had been activated, and the aura kept rotating, with a few points of enhancement trend. His divine soul also had a thread of restlessness.
It can actually mobilize the air machine, it seems that this method has some mysterious aspects.
The raccoon dog seemed to have sensed something and excitedly barked, jumping down from Ye Chen's arms in an instant, dashing towards the center of the law array.
Ye Chen followed closely behind, and after a moment, a golden disk of over ten meters in diameter appeared in his line of sight at the center of the formation. The golden disk was engraved with one mysterious pattern after another, dense and intricate, giving off an ancient and desolate feeling that assailed him from all sides. There was an indescribable sense of wonder and solemnity to these patterns, among which were two ancient seal script characters, complex in shape but vaguely recognizable as the words "聚灵" (Converging Spirits).
Spirit Gathering Formation?
Ye Chen's heart had an intention, wasn't the two words "gather spirit" just the meaning of gathering the mysterious energy together?
The density of the mysterious energy here is astonishing, of course, it can't be compared to the mysterious energy that surged out of Ye Chen's flying knife. However, the formation can activate the body's internal energy mechanism, greatly increasing the speed of cultivation and also strengthening the soul, which is extremely rare.
As the golden disk walked away, one foot stepped into the golden disk, and the mood suddenly became clear. This golden disk has a unique effect, which can tidy up the chaotic thoughts in the mind and make people's minds calm.
He glanced at Ali, who was standing in the center of the formation, as if he had entered some kind of strange state, his eyes slightly closed.
This is a good place to cultivate, I don't know if it can improve my cultivation and help him break through the tenth stage. Ye Chen walked towards the center of the golden disk and sat down at the center of the golden disk, starting to cultivate. The nine stars in his dantian began to rotate, the mysterious energy surged and moved, transcending the world, the movements outside the formation seemed to have nothing to do with him.
As time passed, more and more powerful humans and demonic beasts gathered outside the Spirit Gathering Formation. Some powerful humans and demonic beasts, after repeated charges, finally chose to give up, some sat far away to rest, while others had already left.
The poisonous wolf stared at the law array to death, and had never seen Ye Chen come out. He also rushed several times, all of which failed without exception, and could only retreat back reluctantly.
Time flew by, the chaotic battle continued without stopping. Those six enormous fiends didn't know what fatigue was, diligently guarding the Soul Gathering Formation with all their might.
About five hours later, a scream rose from the crowd.
"The law array moved!"
Many powerful people looked towards the formation, and saw that the giant stone inside the formation was moving slowly in a mysterious way, constantly changing, rubbing against the ground, making a loud rumbling sound.
Every day, the law array is activated once, which is also one of the reasons why many powerful demon beasts are unwilling to leave.
As the law array rotated, the surrounding Xuan Qi suddenly became dense, and the Xuan Qi of the first layer of the underground crystal palace was gathering from all directions, forming a huge Xuan Qi cloud around the law array.
A group of demonic beasts and human powerhouses flocked to the area, gathering around the Spirit Gathering Formation. They began to cultivate, with many 9th and 10th stage powerhouses fighting for a spot closer to the formation, even to the point of killing each other.
The Poisonous Wolf had only reached the ninth level of the peak, and some positions closest to the Spirit Gathering Array were not his turn, so he could only sit down in a slightly farther place. Although it was relatively far away, the dense aura around him made his cultivation speed faster than usual by at least ten or twenty times!
He glanced at the law array, and from so far away, the aura was already so thick. What kind of concentration would the central part of the law array have? It's estimated that it wouldn't be just a hundred or a thousand times thicker than the outside! One can imagine how refreshing Ye Chen must feel in the center of the law array! Just thinking about this made Du Lang jealous to the point of almost vomiting blood. If he were allowed to cultivate in the center of the law array for one minute, even if it meant putting all his family's wealth on the line, or even sacrificing those few wives and concubines who were as beautiful as flowers, he would be willing! As long as he could cultivate in the center of the law array for one minute, perhaps he would have a chance to break through his restraints and reach the realm of a tenth-rank strongman.
The formation was activated and people outside couldn't get in anymore. The dispute finally calmed down.
At this time, Ye Chen, who was in the center of the Spirit Gathering Array, slightly moved his eyebrows. Because during his cultivation, he suddenly felt that the effect of the array had increased by several times or even dozens of times. The Qi mechanism in his body was violently circulating, and his cultivation speed was more than ten times faster than before!
Ye Chen's cultivation speed was already astonishing before, but now this cultivation speed can be described as terrifying.
Ye Chen felt his Xuan Qi slowly rising, surging and rushing forward. With a loud bang, he finally broke through the mid-9th stage and reached the peak of the 9th stage. Looking ahead, the shackles were right in front of him. As long as he could break through the shackles, he would be able to squeeze into the ranks of the top 10 strongmen!
Ye Chen was able to contend with early 10th-stage strong practitioners during the middle period of his 9th stage. Now that he has reached the peak of the 9th stage, it's unknown whether he can defeat mid-10th stage Liu Kan. If he were to squeeze into the ranks of 10th-stage strong practitioners, Ye Chen would even dare to face off against Qiu Yan!
Donglin County King Liu Xun, Liu Kan and Left Chancellor Qiu Yin, wait for me to come out of the Jiling Array, and then we'll settle the accounts! Ye Chen's dantian was like a rapidly rotating whirlpool, frantically absorbing the xuanqi.
A loud explosion sounded in his mind, and the sea of consciousness became extremely clear. Ye Chen's soul gradually floated into the air. In order not to trigger the disturbance of the many monsters outside, Ye Chen retracted the aura of his soul and did not condense any flying swords. However, Ye Chen could feel that in the sky, group after group of soul thoughts were rapidly gathering towards this side.
These are the residual souls left behind by countless powerful beings who died inside the underground crystal palace. These residual souls have lost their consciousness from when they were alive, and like the mysterious energy, they are just a wisp of energy between heaven and earth. As time passes, they will gradually fade away and disappear without a trace, ultimately unable to leave any mark on the world. Some of them will also transform into the mysterious energy between heaven and earth.
Ye Chen's divine soul frantically devoured these soul energies and refined them into his own. Although these residual souls were left behind by those powerful beings in the past, after so many years of consumption, they had almost been depleted. After refining them, only a tiny bit was left that could be used by Ye Chen. However, there were countless residual souls scattered throughout the underground Jade Pavilion.
His divine soul grew stronger and stronger, and Ye Chen's divine soul could now cover a range of five miles! It was still not realistic to confront the Demon King-level strongman, but at least it would no longer be as unbearable as before.
The law array rotated rapidly for five minutes before stopping and returning to its original state.
Those demonic beasts and human strongmen became even more frantic after their cultivation, having witnessed the power of the Spirit Gathering Formation. They were eager to enter the formation before its next rotation, so they could enjoy the incredibly dense spiritual energy at its center!
The demon beasts and human powerhouses launched wave after wave of charges, but the six ghostly creatures seemed to have become even more powerful after being cleansed by the mysterious energy earlier. They tightly guarded the Soul Gathering Formation, and from time to time, some powerhouses would fall under their attacks.
They probably never thought that while they were desperately trying to enter the Spirit Gathering Array, Ye Chen was leisurely sitting in the center of the array, enjoying a 5-6 hour Xuan Qi baptism.
When practicing, I completely forgot about time, five or six hours passed like a fleeting moment.
