Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Chapter 372 Nine-story Black Tower
Since there was no serious problem, the people did not delay any longer and chose to continue setting off.However, as it got closer to the destination, the gray air contained in the surrounding world became more and more intense.

In such a situation, all the alchemy stage elders had to personally protect them, lest the accompanying foundation establishment stage disciples could not hold on.

Wang Ying sacrificed a palm-sized cyan stele with a dragon-shaped carving on it. It was the wooden dragon stele, the treasure of the Miaoyinmen sect. She and Zhuo Ruting are in it.

This stele is indeed not simple, no matter how dense the gray air around it is, it can't break through the defense of the blue glow.

Mo Juren also cast a mana mask to protect Fan Jingmei beside him, but he didn't do anything for the time being, but let the gray energy linger around.

He could clearly feel that as he got closer to that bright area, the gray gas not only increased in concentration, but also vaguely gave birth to a hint of spirituality and aggression, which became stronger the further he went.

If it wasn't for his tyrannical body, otherwise he would be invaded very soon without casting any protective spells and directly contacting the gray air.

After feeling it carefully, he didn't take any more risks, and directly released the divine light to protect his body. In an instant, all the gray energy was shielded out.

This kind of resistance is also expendable, and it is getting bigger and bigger.Fortunately, for monks in the alchemy period, it is still within the tolerance range, as long as it does not continue like this, there will be no problem.

Because of this, everyone moved faster and faster, and it took nearly a quarter of an hour to finally reach the destination.

"This!"

Looking at the scene in front of them, everyone was shocked. In the area in front of their eyes, there was a nine-story pagoda standing impressively. It was unknown what kind of material was used to build it. The whole body was pitch black.

The so-called light I saw before came from the top of the pagoda, where the half-foot-high diamond-shaped gemstone was suspended, emitting a dazzling brilliance all the time.

At this time, the eyes of everyone were once again fiery. This time, they were awkward or awkward. They were not worthy of the title of "ancient ruins" at all, and they didn't even get any decent results.

Until now, the moment I saw the pagoda, I finally had a turning point.It is almost certain that if this is really the 'relic of the ancient monks', then the ultimate key is most likely to be in this pagoda.

Of course, even though he thought so in his heart, he did not lose his rationality.You can't let go of your vigilance, and you can't lack the necessary investigations. What if this pagoda is a trap?That would be a blessing in disguise.

Fortunately, no abnormalities were found until the crowd reached a small square in front of the pagoda, less than a few feet away from the main entrance on the first floor.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then stared at the rune-covered door in front of them and fell into thought.

The suppression of spiritual consciousness here is getting stronger and stronger, and it is basically impossible to use this method to detect the situation inside the pagoda.And to really understand the situation, there is no other way but to open the door.

There is more than one door on the first floor of the pagoda. In addition to the largest main door in the center, there are seven auxiliary doors symmetrically distributed around it, corresponding to seven different directions.

Cheng Songting was the first to take action, driving a magic weapon with a flying hammer in his hand to directly attack the main entrance. The moment the two were about to touch, the entire first floor of the pagoda lit up instantly, and all the eight portals were filled with spiritual light, and the first floor was ring-shaped and transparent. The light curtain appeared instantly.

"boom……"

There was a loud noise, and the magic weapon of the flying hammer was directly blocked by the light curtain without even touching the door.

"It's really not easy." Cheng Songting took back the treasure and frowned.Although it was just a test just now, this 'Liufeng Hammer' is his real magic weapon. The blow is powerful, but the effect is minimal, which shows the strong defense of this gate.

"It should be some kind of ancient formation." Qin Yue analyzed, but there was not much worry on his face. Unless it was really that kind of grand formation, so many people on his side could break it through violence.

Of course, you can't mess around, it's best to find out the situation in advance, so as not to waste mana indiscriminately and even cause unnecessary trouble.

Moreover, this time I came to explore the ruins, I had already made some preparations in advance, and the formation master was naturally indispensable.Not only the Corpse Jade Sect, but Kamikaze Island as well.

While talking, five figures have already walked out of the crowd, and began to observe and study the formation.Discuss with each other from time to time, and jointly analyze the specific situation of the formation.

The specific formation is actually not important, the key is the nature.As long as you understand this point, and then figure out its operation law, it is not difficult to find the corresponding solution.

The five of them are also worthy of being masters in formations. They kept testing around the pagoda, recording, and making corresponding analysis at the same time.Soon, after some discussion, several people gave the answer.

"So this is a purely defensive formation. It just has eight key nodes. It needs to attack these eight portals at the same time to break through the formation fastest and with the least effort?"

"That's right, and the main entrance is the core hub of the formation. At least three alchemy monks are required to attack at the same time, so as to meet the demand." One of the formation masters added.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but smile. Isn't it ten alchemy monks attacking at the same time? It's not a problem at all. There are more than ten alchemy monks present?
"You guys are responsible for the arrangements, I'll take care of you."

Professional matters should be handed over to professional people. Both Kamikaze Island and the monks of Shi Yuzong understand this truth and the importance of cooperation between the two parties at this time.

Therefore, in the following time, everyone unconditionally obeyed the arrangements of the five formation masters, and selected ten people to stand in front of the corresponding portals and wait for orders.

Mo Juren did not make a move, including Cheng Songting and Qin Yue.As the leader of the three parties, he is not needed at this time, he is only responsible for watching from the sidelines, and can help in case of emergency.

A moment later, the ten people who were all ready began to attack under the order of the formation master, and ten magic weapons emitting various colors of light blasted towards the light curtain at the same time.

In an instant, the pagoda began to light up with a more dazzling white light on the first floor, and it flickered randomly.Obviously, the formation master's method worked, and the eight nodes were attacked at the same time, which instantly increased the burden of the formation to the limit.

This is just the first round, followed by the second round, and the third round... Under the command of the formation master, the bombardment happens to be at the node position at the same time every time.

Finally, after persisting for another eight rounds, the formation couldn't hold on any longer, the light curtain began to shake violently, and the white light flickered faster and faster.

The ninth round of attack came as scheduled, only a crisp 'click' was heard, the light curtain shattered instantly, and the first floor of the tower quickly became pitch black.

"It's broken?" Cheng Songting's eyes flickered, and then he raised his hand and cast a soft mana on the front door. The next moment, the door slowly opened inward.

Everyone showed joy when they saw this, without any hesitation, they hurried towards the door.

The first floor of the pagoda was completely dark, and as everyone entered, a series of auras of spiritual light were shot out, instantly illuminating the inner space like daylight.

Unexpectedly, there was no strong gray gas here, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.After all, it is not easy to guard the disciples of the Foundation Establishment period under the sect at all times.

Fortunately, there is no such burden now, and everyone calmed down and began to observe the surrounding situation.

This is a hall, the area is not big, the length and width are only more than thirty feet, and the height is only a few feet.A circular altar was built in the center, with a diameter of only a few feet, and some white crystals were scattered on it, apparently just broken.

Everyone subconsciously looked at each other and instantly understood what was going on.This spar should be the core of the formation, as the formation was cracked, it was also broken at the same time.

Everyone just glanced at it and stopped paying attention. Instead, they turned their attention to the surrounding seven portal areas.There were also scattered things there, but they were not crystals, but seven different items, obviously some kind of treasure.

This instantly attracted everyone's attention. It was undoubtedly the legendary ancient treasures, and unlike the unspiritual waste products encountered outside before, these were obviously intact.

Soon all the treasures were collected, and everyone was overjoyed and couldn't help wondering, there are supposed to be eight directions, so why is there no treasure left at the main entrance?

For the time being, I can't figure out the reason, so I just think that this formation is arranged like this.Now everyone doesn't care about this, but starts to think about the distribution of treasures.

When entering the ruins, there was an agreement that as long as the treasures were obtained jointly, the three parties would distribute them equally after evaluation.Now that things are in front of us, we have to face them.

The surroundings became quiet in an instant, and they all looked at the three of them.

Cheng Songting, Qin Yue and the 'monk surnamed Jia'.

As the leaders of the three parties and the most powerful, they are the ones who really decide everything.It is up to the three of them to decide whether to fulfill the agreement and distribute them peacefully, or to fight and part ways.

More importantly, the quality of these seven ancient treasures is different at first glance, and their functions are even more different. It is really unknown whether they can meet the needs of the three parties.

"Since the agreement has been made, the distribution is naturally as agreed. What are you all so nervous about?" The man surnamed Liu from Kamikaze Island spoke first, breaking the silence with a smile.

"That's right, I, Kamikaze Island, was born in a righteous way, so how can I be a person who doesn't believe what I say?" Cheng Songting also reacted, and also expressed his attitude.Suddenly he raised his head and looked at Qin Yue who was opposite, hehe said with a smile,

"On the other hand, Fellow Daoist Qin, your noble clan was born in a demonic way, and he always advertises that he can do whatever he wants, but he doesn't know whether he can count on what he says?"

"It's true that I do things as I please, but I'm not a person who backtracks on what I say, and what I say counts." How could Qin Yue not hear the sarcasm in the other party's words, and said with a cold snort.

"That's good. It's Cheng who is worrying too much. I hope Fellow Daoist Qin doesn't take it to heart." Cheng Songting smiled slightly, but there was no apology on his face. He directly changed the subject and asked Mo Juren for advice.
"How does fellow Daoist Jia feel?"

"Since the two fellow daoists have said so, let's assign them as such."

"Jia Daoyou is indeed a trustworthy person, and he has righteousness in his heart. Cheng admires him!" Cheng Songting hurriedly cupped his hands, looking extremely serious.

This kind of performance made Qin Yue curse inwardly. This guy looked honest, but his thoughts were too treacherous. He clearly wanted to forcibly classify Jia Daoyou as the righteous side.

"Keeping promises is the most basic morality of a practitioner. How can there be a distinction between good and evil? It is a bit extreme for Cheng Daoyou to say so."

"Really?" Cheng Songting obviously did not agree with the other party's words, but he was too lazy to argue with the other party, and said immediately,

"Put these aside, let's start distributing the treasures."

The distribution of treasures is actually not that difficult, as long as the three parties reach an agreement, it doesn't matter if you share more or less.The three first said what they needed, and took away the ones without disputes, and then evaluated and resolved the rest.

After a lot of bargaining, compromise and exchange, the goal was finally successfully completed.As one of the parties, Mo Juren only got two items this time, but he asked the other two parties to make a certain amount of compensation, which was exactly the materials he needed.

This can be regarded as everyone's satisfaction, and everyone who has allocated everything put away their thoughts and continued to explore.Before leaving, Mo Juren deliberately put away the broken crystals, and at the same time made a copy of the pattern on the first-floor altar, which he regarded as data collection.

It's not just him, the five formation masters have already done this. After all, it is an ancient formation. If you take it back and study it, you will definitely gain unexpected results.The only difference was that they didn't dare to touch the crystals related to the formation, they could only watch helplessly as they were taken away.

"Jia Daoyou is really careful!" Cheng Songting seemed to think of something, and said with emotion.

"Brother Cheng is from Kamikaze Island, and he is the master of the same way. He won't understand the difficulties of us casual practitioners." Mo Juren shook his head slightly, with an expression of 'I am poor'.Seeing this, Wang Ying in the distance couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips slightly. She had witnessed how rich the other party was when she lived in the world before.

"The road of casual cultivation is really difficult." Cheng Songting nodded in agreement, but his eyes flashed suddenly, and he said tentatively,
"Actually, with Fellow Daoist Jia's strength, as long as he is willing to join a side, no one would refuse."

"That being said, Jia is used to being free and can't be restrained, so it's better to keep it as it is." Mo Juren couldn't hear the intention of the other party's solicitation, and directly refused.

"That's really a pity." Cheng Songting felt really sorry in his heart, so he could only sigh softly,

"If Fellow Daoist Jia has a stable idea one day, you can come to Cheng at any time. Although I, Kamikaze Island, is a little small, I am willing to wait for you at any time as the deputy island owner."

"Vice Island Master!" A sneer rang out, and it was Qin Yue who couldn't stand it.The person surnamed Cheng is so wooing in every possible way, probably because of the idea of ​​two-on-one when exploring later.

This can't be done, if he succeeds, wouldn't he be at a disadvantage in an instant?Having personally competed with Jia Daoyou, he knows that it will definitely have terrible consequences.

"Jia Daoyou's strength is even inferior to Qin's, and Cheng Daoyou is also no match for him. Such a strong person comes to your kamikaze island to be a vice island master, and he still obeys your orders. Isn't it an insult to others? My dead jade Zong didn't dare to think that way, and he didn't know where Cheng Daoyou got his confidence, what a shame."

"The one whose surname is Qin, you want to die!"
