Mortal: Fight monsters and upgrade, I will enjoy immortality!

Seven days later, Ye Ming, who was quietly comprehending the art of formation in the attic, suddenly felt a vibration in front of him. A ball of red fire shot out and instantly exploded into sparks.

A faint voice suddenly echoed in the room.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, that person is almost at the Mingsha Land, and we are about to take action. Please come to the hall where we had our last conversation."

After hearing these words, Ye Ming put away the jade slip in his hand, and without saying a word, he made a hand gesture and turned into a golden rainbow, flashing through the attic and disappeared.

At the same time, on the huge rocks in various places in Tianwai Tian, ​​the same scene was being played out. Rays of light kept appearing from all directions and converging towards the hall where the previous conversation had taken place.

When Ye Ming reappeared in the hall after his escape light faded, more than ten powerful Mahayana masters had gathered here. Among them were familiar people such as Huaying and Madam Wu whom he had met last time, but there were also a few unfamiliar faces.

Ye Ming swept his mind around and saw that one of the pairs of male and female cultivators had similar faces, and their aura was obviously stronger than the others.

The man and woman looked to be no more than 20 years old, the man was handsome and cold, the woman was beautiful and charming. Both of them had a layer of purple-red evil spirit emanating from their bodies, and the void within a few feet of where they were standing was distorted and blurred from time to time, which looked extremely weird.

The other people in the room looked at the couple with a hint of fear in their eyes.

Mingzun sat upright in the main seat, listening to the report from a middle-aged man.

"Han Li and fellow Daoist Liu Yi have already led the True Immortal to the edge of the Mingsha Land as agreed. At the current speed, they will be able to enter the control area of ​​the Liangyi Miechen Array in two or three hours. All the disciples and several elders in the alliance have also taken their positions, and the spirit summoning ceremony is ready. They can summon several True Spirits at any time..."

"Okay, the spirit summoning ceremony will begin in half an hour. I and other Taoist friends will arrive at the ambush site in advance. No one is allowed to activate the Liangyi Dust-Extinguishing Array without my order. Others shall handle the matter according to the original plan." Ming Zun gave the order with a satisfied look after listening.

The middle-aged man nodded and said yes, then left in a flash.

"You all heard what I said just now. Our alliance has made all preparations. When the time comes, as long as all Taoists work together, we will be able to suppress or even kill that True Immortal. But let me be frank in advance. If anyone retreats at the critical moment, don't blame me for being ruthless." Ming Zun said to everyone with a serious expression.

"Don't worry, Friend Mingdao. Who would back down at this point?"

"That's right. If anyone escapes without permission, the rest of us should work together to kill him."

Some people disagreed, while others agreed.

"Is this fellow Taoist Ye Ming from the human race?" Suddenly, the man among the brother and sister who looked very similar asked with a flash of eyes.

"It's Ye, fellow Taoist, you are..." Ye Ming looked towards the couple.

Hearing this, several people in the room who had never seen Ye Ming also looked over.

"My name is Yundan, and this is my sister Yue Shu."

"So you are the famous fellow Taoists Yun Dan and Yue Shuo. Nice to meet you."

"I heard that you single-handedly wiped out the Sea King clan. I admire your strength very much, but unfortunately I never had the chance to meet you. Today I finally see you in person." The woman named Yue Suo said with a chuckle.

"It's just luck. The fairy is not bad. By the way, Fellow Daoist Ming, I heard that Xuan Jiuling has also arrived. Why don't you meet him? Are we not qualified to see him?" Ye Ming nodded and asked Ming Zun again.

When the others heard this, their expressions also changed and they looked closely at Ming Zun.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, please calm down. Fellow Daoist Xuan is in the process of refining a treasure and has reached a critical moment. He cannot get away for the time being. I absolutely do not mean to look down on Brother Ye and all the fellow Daoists. But don't worry, Fellow Daoist Xuan will definitely be there when the action takes place." Ming Zun said unusually politely.

"That's good. When do we set off?" Ye Ming nodded slightly.

"It will be ready soon. I would like to remind you of a few points..."

After Ming Zun gave a few more instructions, many Mahayana escape lights in the room left the hall and flew to the ambush site that had been chosen in advance.

But Ye Ming, Yun Danyue and his two siblings stayed.

"Brother Ming, is there anything you can't say in front of everyone? Why do you have to convey the message to the three of us?" Yun Dan asked Ming Zun impolitely.

"The Liang Yi Mie Chen formation arranged by our alliance this time has the powerful effect of trapping the enemy and suppressing magic power, weakening that True Immortal. It is the key to this operation. As long as nothing unexpected happens to the Xuan Tian treasure at the center of the formation, the formation can continue to operate endlessly. So just in case, someone needs to be stationed at the two centers of the formation, and the three of them are all powerful people, capable of taking on this important task." Ming Zun explained.

"Are you sure you don't need me to be the main force?" Ye Ming asked curiously.

Yun Dan and Yue Suo also looked at Ming Zun with unfriendly expressions. Ye Ming was obviously the strongest among them. It didn't make sense for such a person to be stationed at the center of the formation instead of being the main force. Was there some trick?
"Of course not. In the entire formation, we can use the power of the formation to appear anywhere at any time. Although the three Taoist friends are stationed at the center of the formation, they can also come to the battlefield to participate in support at any time. Doing so may even achieve the effect of catching the enemy off guard and it is very likely to succeed in one strike." Ming Zun said solemnly.

"So that's how it is. Since Brother Ming has already thought it over carefully, my brother and I can rest assured. Let's just follow your arrangements." The woman named Yue Suo suddenly said with a sweet smile.

"Okay, I will arrange for someone to lead the two fellow Taoists to the center of the formation." Ming Zun was overjoyed when he heard this, and then he clapped his hands lightly.

A soldier from the Merchant Alliance suddenly walked in from outside the hall and respectfully led the brother and sister out of the hall.

"What do you think, Fellow Daoist Ye? Guarding the center of the formation has the same merit as fighting against the True Immortals, and it will not affect the agreement between you and me. Of course, if Fellow Daoist does not want to go to the center of the formation, that's fine. I can find a few other people to go there and it will be the same." Ming Zun turned to Ye Ming and asked.

"Hehe, of course, why not do such an easy job?" Ye Ming pondered for a moment and replied with a chuckle.

"In that case, I'll have to trouble you, fellow Taoist." Upon hearing this, Ming Zun showed joy on his face.

Then he raised his hands and clapped his hands. Another soldier outside the hall walked in. After bowing to Ye Ming, he led him out of the hall.

After Ye Ming's figure disappeared at the entrance of the palace, Ming Zun's smile changed and a strange look appeared on his face. "I hope you can all play your due role, hehe..."

Under the leadership of the soldiers, Ye Ming flew away from Tianwai Tian and plunged into the Liangyi Miechen Formation.

According to Ming Zun, it took 36,000 formation flags and formation plates to set up this formation successfully. There were tens of thousands of top-grade spirit stones embedded in various parts of the formation alone, which was able to barely cover most of the Mingsha area.

The two array centers are located in the south and the north, echoing each other from a distance.

Led by the soldiers, Ye Ming flew for a whole meal's time before he finally reached the center of the formation in the north.

The so-called core of the formation was actually formed by eight huge golden pillars surrounding a tall altar. The golden pillars were surrounded by rosy clouds, and layers of restrictions were looming around them, with rows of armored soldiers surrounding them.

The altar was triangular in shape, milky white in color, and as smooth as jade. The upper part was covered by a layer of seven-color light, and something was faintly flickering at the top.

"Senior, this is the token to activate the center of the formation. All personnel here are under your command. However, the hiding restriction on the altar has been activated. In order to avoid being exposed, you cannot go up." The leading soldier landed with Ye Ming, holding a silver token in both hands, and said respectfully.

"Don't worry. The Xuantian treasure is of great importance. I will not touch it without considering the overall situation." Ye Ming raised his hand, and with a "whoosh", the silver token was in his hand.

"Thank you for your understanding, senior. I'll take my leave." The man who led the way bowed to Ye Ming, then flew back the way he came.

After playing with the token in his hand for a while, Ye Ming turned his wrist, put it away, and strode towards the altar.

"See my lord!"

As soon as Ye Mingfang approached, nearly a thousand soldiers around the altar immediately bowed in unison.

"Get up, and go to your positions and do what you are supposed to do."

Ye Ming took a quick glance and found that most of these people were at the Spirit Transformation and Void Refining stages, but there were also eight people at the Fusion stage, each of whom was leading a team to guard a golden pillar.

"Yes!"

After the soldiers responded respectfully, they stood up and continued to stand around the golden pillars without moving.

Ye Ming's figure flashed, and after a blur, he appeared directly under the milky white altar in the center.

After walking around the altar, he raised his head to look at the hidden restriction above, his eyes flashing with blue light, pushing his Mingqing spiritual eyes to the extreme.

After looking for a long while, he lowered his head and sat cross-legged on the ground.

At the same time, a cold laugh appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Liang Yi Dust Extinguishing Formation? Hehe, it should be Liang Yi Micro Dust Formation!"

Ye Ming knew from his past life memories that during this immortal-slaying operation, Ming Zun had self-destructed the entire Yin-Yang Microdust Array and severely injured Ma Liang.

Therefore, when he heard Ming Zun introduce this formation as the Liang Yi Mie Chen Formation a few days ago, he knew that Ming Zun was still preparing to self-destruct the entire formation as he had done in his previous life, and use all of them, the Mahayana cultivators, including several true spirits, as cannon fodder.

He was naturally prepared for this, so when he was in the place where the Demon Realm was first imprinted, he asked He Kang about the relevant situation of the Liangyi Microdust Array.

It is known that although the Liangyi Dust-Extinguishing Array and the Liangyi Microdust Array are both secret arrays in the fairyland, the power of the two is vastly different.

The former's function is mainly to kill enemies, which is relatively simple and not powerful enough to threaten true immortals.

The latter has three major functions: trapping the enemy, weakening the enemy, and self-destructing. Any one of them is enough to give ordinary immortals a headache, especially the self-destructing power of the formation. As long as the treasures or creatures sacrificed at the eye of the formation are powerful enough, even a high-level immortal may be buried in it.

Just now, although he could not see the situation above the altar clearly through the Mingqing Spiritual Eyes, he could vaguely see that the hidden restriction above was actually empty and there was no Xuantian treasure at all.

Obviously, Ming Zun wanted to use him as a sacrificial creature to enhance the self-destructive power of the magic circle.

In this regard, Yundan Yuesuo, the center of the formation in the south, received the same treatment.

If it was a real fairyland formation like the Yin-Yang Microdust Formation, with Ye Ming's current level of formation skills, he would not be able to change its operation process.

However, the formation that Ming Zun and his men had arranged was a simplified version of the Yin-Yang Micro-Dust Formation. Many of the natural treasures that only existed in the Immortal Realm could not be found in the Spirit Realm. Therefore, the power of this formation was only one-tenth or one-twelfth of the original formation at most.

As for the self-detonation of a magic array of this power, Ye Ming believed that he was still capable of withstanding it if he was prepared.

Although he had no ability to stop the sacrificial function at the center of the formation, he could slightly change the restrictions and create a small area as an exemption for sacrifice. As long as he stayed there, he would be safe.

It was precisely because of this confidence that Ye Ming readily agreed to guard the center of the formation even though he knew it was a trap.

As for the method of adjusting the magic circle and creating an immune area, Ye Ming had already asked He Kang about it.

After going through these thoughts in his mind, Ye Ming seemed to be sitting still, but a finger retracted in his sleeve just flicked slightly, and immediately a golden star slipped out, flashed and disappeared into the nearby void.

The next moment, the surface of a golden cylinder began to vibrate, and a golden beetle the size of a grain of rice emerged out of thin air.

The fluctuation was so weak that the combined cultivator standing nearby did not notice it at all.

The golden beetle appeared blurry and then stuck to the cylinder out of thin air. It then crawled silently on the column, leaving tiny spiritual patterns that were almost invisible to the naked eye wherever it passed.

In this way, under Ye Ming's command, the gold-eating insects engraved a series of mysterious patterns on the golden cylinder.

Not only this cylinder, but the remaining seven cylinders were also tampered with by the gold-eating insects that had been shrunk countless times.

Naturally, the soldiers of the Merchant Alliance surrounding the eight golden columns were unaware of all this.

In another high place in the sky above the Mingsha Land, the armored man, the Taoist nun, Madam Wu and other Mahayana monks were hiding in a void, either standing or sitting, all with solemn expressions, waiting silently.

Suddenly, there was a vibration nearby, and Ming Zun's figure emerged silently like the body of the five elements.

"Brother Ming, are you alone? Where are Fellow Daoist Ye and Yun Danyue?" Madam Wu asked with a frown after she glanced at Master Ming with her mind.

The other Mahayana also looked over with surprised expressions.

"Don't worry, fellow Daoists. I have arranged for fellow Daoist Ye and the other two to guard the two centers of the formation. With them here, the entire formation can be guaranteed to be foolproof, and we can focus on dealing with that True Immortal without any worries. What's more, I can use the power of the formation to teleport fellow Daoist Ye and the other two over at any time. So you can rest assured, I will let them come over at the appropriate time." Ming Zun said with an unchanged expression.
