Chapter 444: The Sun and the Moon Are Neighbors

The clouds are as blue as glaze, the wind is calm and dust-free——

Looking down under the bright sunshine, the whole place is bright and clear, like a piece of plain paper with little ink or color.

All the peaks and mountains are vague in the light, and their shapes are indistinct. Even the Tongtuo River that runs across the east and west is just a long, hazy line, like a stroke of ink with uneven force, unobstructed and spread out at will.

After a while, with the appearance of a bright light that was even louder than the previous one, the quiet scene under the clouds was shattered again.

The thick fog rolled in, covering the foot of the mountain in the blink of an eye!

The loud rumbling sound was like an earth dragon turning over, not only shaking down several mountaintops, but also causing the river water not far away to fly in all directions and rush towards the sky. Then, it fell in flakes like pouring rain, soaking the rocks!
"Hey...it really works!"

Inside the Chanxing Fenyuan Formation, Yuan Yangsheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

At this time, all three of them were in the formation. There were only patches of bright light all around, without any conspicuous signs, making it difficult to tell where they were.

After the sound, it was not difficult for the three of them to sense it.

The Beiping Mountain, which was once like a glazed Buddhist city, suddenly lost some of its luster, and it seemed that several formation flags had been shattered.

Yuan Yangsheng raised his martial arts heavenly eye and lowered his head to explore again.

After this sound, even the magnetic field of the deepest earth veins was disturbed, and turbid light was rippling, almost coming out of the surface!

"The Martial Arts Heavenly Eye... This method is truly powerful enough to shock the gods and make them weep. It has extraordinary uses."

Xu Zhi put away his sword and stood up, with a hint of emotion in his eyes, and couldn't help but give sincere praise.

The Star-Separating Formation is indeed powerful and not ordinary.

This formation is derived from the brilliant idea of ​​"Celebrating the Purple Palace with stars arching over the center, and auspiciously extending the Xuanshu to guard the center of the palace".

Once it is deployed, it can ward off five kinds of attacks and eliminate fire and water. It can truly be called an extraordinary mountain defense formation!
The central gate formation hub of this formation is actually a combination of real and fake ones, with a total of seventy-two of them. Moreover, the formation hub can be continuously moved under the protection of the formation flags. This alone is enough to set the Chanxing Fenyuan Formation apart from most of the mysterious formations in the world and rank it among the best.

However, no matter how many mysteries there are in the Star-Dividing Formation, how amazing is Lu Shen, who set up the formation?

In front of Yuan Yangsheng's martial arts eyes, this formation finally revealed some loopholes.

"If Brother Yuan learns the Dao of Formation, with the help of these two Heavenly Eyes, he will become a famous Grandmaster of the Dao of Formation in due time."

At this time, Chen Heng also put away his sword and stood up. His eyes moved slightly and he praised.

Just now, several flags of the Chanxing Fenyuan Formation were removed and the formation's operation was disrupted, which was really inseparable from Yuan Yangsheng's efforts.

Although the center point of this formation is indeed difficult to judge and is constantly changing, even Yuan Yangsheng's martial arts eye cannot easily locate it accurately in a short time.

If the center of the formation cannot be found, the people entering the formation can only use violent attacks to wear down the formation's power, so as to force the center of the formation to appear.

Even if you strike with 100% of your strength, when it hits the formation, it will only be 30% or 20% at most. It is undoubtedly a hard and tedious work that takes an extremely long time.

This is why Han Yinjue is confident that as long as he invites Lu Shen to set up the formation, he can stabilize the hearts of the people in Beiping Mountain until Cui Ju succeeds and comes out to fight Chen Heng again!
However, Yuan Yangsheng and Xu Zhi actually came together this time, which made Han Yinjue's good plan inevitably go wrong.

Although it is difficult for Yuan Yangsheng's martial arts eyes to find the center of the formation at a glance, it is not too troublesome if he just finds some gaps when the formation evolves.

So the previous momentum was actually the result of Yuan Yangsheng using his divine eye to see through the flow of energy in the formation. After getting his guidance on the direction, Chen Heng and Xu Zhi rose up with their swords and slashed towards the place where the energy was entangled, thereby disrupting the earth's veins and shaking the formation.

Although this method is not as direct as finding the pivot point of the center gate array and breaking the array with one strike, it is far better than relying on brute force to slowly deplete the array's power.

But this process is easier said than done.

There are indeed very few people who can accomplish this.

Not to mention the step of using the Dharma Eye to see through the Qi in the formation, which is really as difficult as ascending to heaven for ordinary people.

Even if you find an opportunity and get some advice, the chance is fleeting, and it is not easy to exploit the flaw in that brief moment.

"If I had learned the formation, I would have been rich and wealthy and become the richest man in Kui Yu's mansion. What a pity, what a pity..."

Yuan Yangsheng sighed, looking disappointed.

Finally, he waved his hand, said hello to Chen Heng and Xu Zhi, and continued to move forward.

The three of them walked for about a mile when they suddenly felt a shock above their heads. Rays of starlight flew down from above like arrows, as dense as rain.

Chen Heng's eyes flashed, and a five-colored giant hand appeared behind him, catching all the incoming starlight.

At the same time, the ground suddenly broke apart, and a group of evil beasts created by turbid air pounced on them with their fangs and claws bared. The flying sword in Xu Zhi's hand jumped up, and after a few breaths, he killed all the evil beasts.

But within the time it takes to stick of incense, as Yuan Yangsheng opened his third eye, the three of them gradually went deeper into the formation. The man in charge of the formation seemed to know how powerful it was and destroyed the murderous intent in the formation one by one.

As one moves forward, there is sometimes heavy rain, making a dull sound as it passes through the air, with unstoppable force, and sometimes one is hanging upside down, and a strange and evil air keeps drilling into the mouth and nose, trying to confuse one's consciousness.

With stars splitting the sky and turbid earth rising, it can be said that there is murderous intent at every step and it is hard to predict how to advance or retreat!

"arrive."

Under the protection of the five-colored giant hand and the invisible sword energy, Yuan Yangsheng only needs to use his heavenly eyes and does not need to be wary of any danger in the formation.

After turning left and right along the way, he suddenly stopped and pointed forward.

"After three breaths, cut there!"

Yuan Yangsheng's eyes were bright and clear, and he said in a deep voice.

After three breaths, two sword lights rose up at the same time, and at the critical moment, they chopped down together!
As the loud sword sounded, Xue Jing, Yang Kezhen and others outside the formation only heard a buzzing sound, and a corner of Beiping Mountain collapsed out of thin air, with earth and rocks splashing everywhere!

At this time, Xu Zhi raised his hand and retracted the sword light.

He looked forward and was about to speak, but suddenly he leaned back, spread out his five fingers, and in a moment formed them into a sword finger.

When Xu Zhi leaned back, a strange stone ball just brushed past his chest and abdomen, and hit someone in the distance, causing a burst of inspiration with a loud noise.

And where the stone ball was emitted, as the light spread, it turned out to be Han Yinjue, who was standing there with a look of surprise on his face and a clear light around him.

Han Yin was quite surprised to see Xu Zhi was able to dodge his sneak attack, and his vigilance increased greatly.

But before he could hide in the formation and wait for an opportunity to move again, Xu Zhi pinched his sword finger, and Han Yinjue felt as if he was trapped in a quagmire. The void suddenly became extremely heavy, making it inconvenient for him to move.

It was because of this moment of delay that Xu Zhi made another move.

A sword energy that was almost indistinguishable to the naked eye suddenly appeared and slashed straight towards the purple palace between Han Yinjue's eyebrows!
Han Yinjue calmed his mind, his robe fluttering high, and he tried his best to spray out a stream of light as big as a bowl, with auspicious aura rising, and barely entangled the sword energy.

After withstanding this attack, Han Yinjue did not want to fight any longer and was about to retreat.

But out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Chen Heng had left the place without him noticing.

With just a flash of his body, he blocked his way.

"not good!"

Han Yinjue's face darkened, but after hesitating for a moment, he still did not send a message to Lu Shen to ask his good friend to enter the formation to save him.

He knew that he was not popular among the martial artists in Beiping Mountain, and was even despised by Du Zhan. It was only because he invited Lu Shen to help that he was able to boost his reputation.

If you enter the battle formation for just a moment, you will be forced to beg for mercy in a desperate situation.

Not to mention how Du Zhan and others would laugh at him, even Han Yinjue himself would not be able to swallow this anger.

"I don't expect to be evenly matched, as long as I can take a few moves and then end the fight decently, that won't be embarrassing!"

Han Yinjue gritted his teeth secretly.

Just as his mind was racing, Chen Heng had already raised his hand and sent out a ray of purple lightning, which almost broke through Han Yinjue's protective clothing, causing him to lose his breath and become dizzy.

And when Han Yinjue calmed the surging blood and energy in his body and summoned his magic power, countless black lights floated in the air around him and merged into a long river of black water.

All he saw before his eyes was a five-colored divine light spreading out, covering everything.

Then a huge hand came down on his head, as if to crush him and the Xuanshui River into powder!

A chill of life and death suddenly arose in Han Yinjue, causing him to shout loudly.

He tried his best to force the long river of black water to open, first protecting his head, and collided head-on with the five-colored giant hand that was pressing down on him.

With a "splash", the long river of Xuanshui was broken into pieces by a big hand, rolling and scattering everywhere, turning into countless essences and drilling into the ground.

Han Yinjue was in such a hurry that he had no time to use other means to break the big hand that was pressing down on him. At that moment, the sound of bells and chimes rang out from behind him. A small bronze bell sacrificed by Xu Zhi shook slightly, which made his body and soul soft. He could hardly muster the strength to fight the enemy.

"..."

Han Yinjue's pupils shrank sharply.

At this moment, the world in the formation suddenly turned upside down, moving him to another location, making the attacking killing move ineffective.

"What a magical power! What a magical power!"

A voice sounded leisurely.

"Brother Lu..."

Han Yinjue felt relieved when he heard the voice.

As the laughter sounded, Chen Heng's magic spell suddenly came together.

With a loud bang, a divine thunder flew out in the blink of an eye, causing the atmosphere to collapse and merge with a beam of bright and clear light.

In an instant, the purple thunder shattered and clear light exploded!

After Lu Shen took the divine thunder and revealed his true form.

Before he could open his mouth, an invisible sword rainbow suddenly rose high up, cut through the air, and wrapped around his neck with incredible speed!
Lu Shen did not dodge or evade. He placed his palm across his chest, his lips slightly moving. An inexplicable force arose and separated the invisible sword rainbow far away.

At the same time, his pair of vertical pupils moved up and down, emitting a brilliant green light, and collided with the palm that Yuan Yangsheng stretched out, which seemed to cover the entire area!
Han Yinjue, who was in the distance, only heard a sharp and loud noise, like the collapse of a mountain and the breaking of rocks, and the entire mysterious formation seemed to tremble slightly and shake a few times.

After the chaotic light gradually disappeared, Han Yinjue raised his eyes and looked.

Lu Shen, who was fighting with Chen Heng and the other two, was standing in the air leisurely, still looking like an immortal with an outstanding spirit.

But the look in his vertical pupils deepened a little, seeming solemn and interested.

"The Martial Arts Heavenly Eye, the Sixth Realm of the Sword Dao, and a First-Grade Golden Elixir..."

There was a hint of teasing at the corner of Lu Shen's lips:
"You three are all gifted geniuses, but now you are bullying the minority with your numbers. Don't you feel ashamed?"

Chen Heng said calmly: "You think you are innocent after you secretly attack someone?"

The two looked at each other from a distance without saying anything, but there was a hint of murderous intent in each other's eyes.

Not to mention Lu Shen's interference this time, the grudges between the eight sects and six schools and Lu Yusheng need no further explanation.

To this day, the heads of the Three Dongzhen, Twelve Shangxuan, and Forty-nine Minor Saints from Shaokang Mountain are all hanging on the lists of the Eight Sects and Six Schools.

If a disciple can obtain it, he will not only gain merit in his own sect, but also receive rewards from outside the sect.

"It seems that this head of mine is worth a lot of money?" Lu Shen stroked his neck and sighed: "That's right, if they kill me, both the Xuanmen and the Demon Sect will have to give me benefits. So, I want to cut off my head and take it to Xu Dutian to claim the reward.

It’s a pity that although there are people in this world who can kill me in the same realm, they are definitely not here, and definitely not the three of you.”

Lu Shen stood with his hands behind his back, his sleeves fluttering.

Although his voice was plain and calm, it contained a sense of looking down on others.

His gaze first paused on Yuan Yangsheng's Martial Arts Heavenly Eye, then moved to Xu Zhi, and then fell to Chen Heng.

"When you have achieved the second level of the Golden Elixir and completed the 'Nine Returns of the Gradual Method', then come and fight me."

Lu Shen glanced at Chen Heng. In Han Yinjue's opinion, Lu Shen looked serious for the first time.
"I have already touched the threshold of the third level of the Golden Elixir Realm, 'Spirit in Form', and am about to refine an inner scene. The sword you used to defeat Cui Ju was indeed beautiful, but since I have seen such tactics before, I have my own way to defend myself. Moreover, in today's Ge Lu, I am not willing to steal Cui Ju's limelight."

Yuan Yangsheng had already lost his patience, and at this moment he sneered and waved his hand disdainfully:
"You are just an incarnation. If you take a few more punches from me, your bones will be torn apart. How dare you speak nonsense here?"

"The incarnation can take charge of the situation, so why bother with the real body?" Lu Shen shook his head.

"Yan Yue! Yan Yue will definitely break this bird formation of yours!"

Yuan Yangsheng grinned.

Lu Shen didn't say anything else. He just waved his sleeves lightly and moved him and Han Yinjue out of the formation.

At the same time as the two men disappeared, a loud noise suddenly came from the sky.

As the key components of the formation changed, in the blink of an eye, sparks appeared and shook the surrounding area for hundreds of miles!
……

……

In a blink of an eye, seven days passed quickly.

On this day, in a wasteland in Qifang State.

Yuan Yangsheng didn't care about the dust and dirt. He sat on the ground, playing with the wooden gourd hanging around his waist, but his head was slightly raised, looking at the indigo sky.

Within his sight, he saw two sword lights shuttling through the clouds.

Thousands of cold lights flashed and rushed straight into people's faces!

Not long after, after another fight and clash that shattered the clouds and wind within a hundred feet radius, two sword lights fell at the same time, revealing the figures of Chen Heng and Xu Zhi.

"Good swordsmanship, good tactics. Let's take a break. Next time I will fight with Brother Chen and I will learn from your Taisu Jade Body!"

Yuan Yangsheng patted his butt and walked forward with a big laugh.

During these seven days, in addition to breaking the formation, the three of them were also sparring with each other and verifying what they had learned.

Competing with fellow monks and learning from their strengths to overcome their weaknesses is an inevitable part of the cultivation path for people in the world.

And being able to learn from and discuss profound skills with talented people of the same generation is an even more rare experience!
Therefore, after these seven days, the three of them felt that they had made considerable progress, and their means of dealing with the enemies also increased a little.

Although Chen Heng had the Golden Cicada in his hand and could enter the One True Dharma Realm to fight with the crowd and constantly improve his fighting skills, but since Xu Zhi and Yuan Yangsheng had this idea, he would not disturb their interest.

While breaking the formation, Chen Heng simply taught the two of them his moves and shared his experiences gained from countless life and death experiences in the One True Dharma Realm.

"The idea behind Kui Yufu's method of forming a holy fetus is brilliant. This method of becoming a saint in the flesh is not simple. After several rounds of fighting, I think it is more profound than Sanshitian's Taiyue Zhenqi."

At this time, Yuan Yangsheng took out a felt mat from his sleeve, looked around for a few rounds, and then spread it on a fairly flat open space. Then he happily took out some fruits and wine, and waved to Chen Heng and Xu Zhi.

Xu Zhi walked to the felt mat and sat down. He pondered for a moment and continued:
"I think this method of forming a holy fetus should be the foundation of your sect. Brother Yuan is so lucky to be able to learn this method as soon as he was promoted to the true sect!"

"It is not the true teaching of the promotion. In fact, if you look at it in detail, this method of forming a holy fetus is not from our school..."

Yuan Yangsheng picked up a fire pear from the cup and swallowed it in two or three gulps, with a strange look on his face:
“Before my head brother became an immortal, he was spotted by an immortal lady. According to him, the senior saw that he had a unique talent and happened to have an old relationship with Kuiyu Mountain, so she gave him a chance to practice.

The method of forming a holy fetus that I am practicing now is what the master learned in the past.

However, although this statement is very high-sounding... but in my opinion, the head brother was a gigolo back then, and he only made up this story to me for the sake of dignity."

After Yuan Yangsheng finished speaking, he subconsciously looked up at the sky with caution.

Then he suddenly realized that he was already in Xiping Land, and there would no longer be a big hand falling from the sky to beat him until his bones and tendons were broken. He then smiled, put his heart at ease, and continued to choreograph.

"..."

Xu Zhi was quite stunned when he heard this. He looked at Chen Heng, held back his laughter, and nodded reluctantly.

"I don't understand. What's so shameful about this? Yuan is just upset that he doesn't have that kind of luck. But then again, Brother Xu..."

After Yuan Yangsheng finished speaking, a hint of mischief flashed across his face.

He patted Xu Zhi on the shoulder and said jokingly:
"According to the date, Brother Xu should be getting married soon, right? Didn't Wusheng Baojian ask for Brother Xu to marry the disciple of Yue'an Holy Mother, the True Lord Miaoyin? And Brother Xu was also a disciple of Yue'an Holy Mother. This way, it's a marriage between relatives!"

Chen Heng couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

Xu Zhi's face darkened and he felt helpless.

After the Zhonglang catastrophe, the Chilong Xu family was almost wiped out. To this day, Xu Zhi seems to be the only surviving member of the Chilong Xu family.

In order to glorify the Xu family and revive the Wusheng Sword Sect, the Wusheng Treasure Mirror originally intended to treat Xu Zhi as a stud, asking him to give birth to children until his death in the Three Worlds Heaven.

It was only later, after seeing Xu Zhi overcome his mental barriers and become more advanced in Taoism, and because Xu Zhi refused to do so, Wusheng Baojian regretfully gave up the idea.

However, although he could not become a stud, he could not avoid getting married.

With the help of Wusheng Baojian, and with the couple in love, Xu Zhi also exchanged a marriage contract with Miaoyin Zhenjun.

However, one of them is just a True Person who has just achieved the Golden Elixir, while the other is a True Lord who has achieved the Tao and returned to the Void.

From the perspective of others, it is inevitable that these two people are not a good match in terms of cultivation.

"It is so difficult for a cultivator to have children. The more profound their cultivation, the harder it is to have children! Why is the dragon clan the only one among the innate gods and monsters? Isn't it because of their ability to give birth?"

At this time, Xu Zhi was reminded of his worries by Yuan Yangsheng's teasing.

He recalled that the Mirror of No Life strictly ordered him to have more children after marriage to enrich his family. He felt even more headache and could only complain secretly.

"But how did Chen Yushu do it? This beast..."

Xu Zhi suddenly looked at Chen Heng and began to think deeply.

In this universe, it is generally difficult for enlightened creatures to reproduce. This seems to be a mysterious restriction from God, or an iron law that existed at the beginning of creation.

And Chen Yushu, as the dignified True Lord of Pure Yang, actually left more than a thousand descendants through the method of incarnation.

Among them are not only mediocre people like Chen Yangsu, Chen Yi, and Chen Pu, but also extraordinary talents like Chen Heng, Chen Yan, and Chen Bai.

In Xu Zhi's opinion, this was indeed too incredible and beyond common sense!
If there were no conflicts between these people and they could respect and love each other.

In time, Xuhuangtian may become the most magnificent sky among the sixteen great heavens.

And the Chen family also wants to be one of the most famous families and have its reputation known throughout the world!

Wusheng Baojian was extremely curious about Chen Yushu's method of leaving offspring. It seemed that this method was almost like creating an entire clan with one person, and its value was truly inestimable.

If it weren't for the fact that the Mirror of No Life had some concerns, and if it weren't for the fact that the Holy Mother of Yue'an had secretly reminded him of it.

In Xu Zhi's opinion, even if he lost everything, he would definitely get Chen Yushu's magic by the Wusheng Baojian!
"The luck of the six sects, the Langhuan secret book, the evil scripture of raising people, and this method of succession..."

Xu Zhi's eyes darkened slightly, and he smiled bitterly in his heart:
"That person is truly formidable! It seems that my junior brother and I will inevitably become brothers in distress in the future..."

Xu Zhi had already inquired about Chen Heng's life experience in detail from the Wusheng Baojian.

Therefore, he naturally knew that there would be a fatal fight between Chen Heng and Chen Yushu sooner or later. It was inevitable and the two were destined to be incompatible!
Although Chen Heng never mentioned anything to Xu Zhi in the past few days, Xu Zhi had already made up his mind.

If that time really comes, he will definitely ask the Wusheng Baojian to take action and go to help!
While Xu Zhi was thinking secretly with his head down, Yuan Yangsheng opened the conversation and talked about the great formation in Beiping Mountain.

When he was excited, he pushed the plate up, pointed his spear into the distance, and said with emotion:
"Lu Shen is now showing off his strength. When we entered the formation yesterday, the gates in the formation operated even more tightly. With such attainments, he is worthy of being a senior disciple of Shaokang Mountain.

At first I thought a month would be enough to break the formation, but now it seems that if I don’t put in some effort, I will be laughed at by that villain!”

The Chanxing Fenyuan Formation is originally a superior mysterious formation, and with people like Lu Shen presiding over it, it is even more difficult to defeat.

Therefore, when Chen Heng and others entered the formation, they mostly chose the hour of Mao when all things emerged from the ground and Yin could not control them, so as to use the celestial phenomena to weaken the power of the formation, which made it convenient to carry out their actions.

After he had used up half of his strength, he didn't want to fight anymore and immediately withdrew.

We cannot stop them from coming, and we cannot keep them from leaving.

This made Lu Shen and the other martial artists in Beiping Mountain feel helpless. They felt as if they were being used as sitting ducks.

"Lu Shen..."

Chen Heng pondered for a moment after hearing this.

The three men had dismantled half a hundred flags of the Chanxing Fenyuan Formation on Beiping Mountain, and the formation's vitality had been damaged.

But now he can still maintain the situation and make the rules illegal. Lu Shen's attainments in the art of formations are truly amazing.

However, when Chen Heng was about to speak, his eyes suddenly moved slightly.

The expression of Yuan Yangsheng on the opposite side suddenly changed. He even jumped up and punched into the air, shouting:

"How brave! Who dares to spy here?"

When the fist was thrown, there was a sudden explosion in the air, and a strong wind blew up, uprooting trees and raising dust!
However, Yuan Yangsheng's powerful punch did not seem to land effectively, and hit nothing.

Amidst the vast expanse of wind and smoke, there was only a ball of golden-purple bright light slowly rising, like the sun rising out of the clouds, its light pouring down like a refining furnace.

Suddenly, it illuminates the towering peaks, shining brightly, as if all the treasures are shining together, filling the blue sky!
"Why do you need to worry about such a small matter? Although the Star Separation Formation is a kind of mysterious formation, it has a natural flaw. If you want to break it, two or three days of effort will be enough."

A light laugh sounded in the bright light, and then the owner of the voice said apologetically:

"As for today's spying, it was truly an unintentional act.

I wanted to come to your house to pay you a visit, but today I happened to see the sword light moving in the clouds, so I came here on a whim. I am sorry for being rude, and I hope you will forgive me."

Chen Heng exchanged glances with Xu Zhi and Yuan Yangsheng.

He bowed first and said in a deep voice, "I wonder what your purpose is?"

"First, I want to help you quickly conquer Beiping Mountain. I originally wanted to present this letter to you, but now that I have encountered this opportunity, I have decided to do it.

As for the second one..."

The voice in the bright light paused for a moment, and Chen Heng seemed to feel a pair of eyes looking at him, taking a quick look at himself.

After a while, the voice continued to sound, as if with a hint of smile:
"Secondly, it is to pay a visit to the future leader of the immortal way of Xudu and the future master of Dongzhou!"
