You, a druid, go to practice Taoism?.

Chapter 327: Power surges, three thousand king-level monster insects

After Qi Ping's testing, Qi Ping discovered that the talent of the Lord of Mountains and Rivers was not just limited to the abilities of mountains and rivers favoring, mountains and rivers projecting, and dominating mountains and rivers, but it could develop many other wonderful uses.

"In essence, after obtaining this talent, I am the true controller of Qingtian Domain. However, due to insufficient progress in unlocking it, I can only use a portion of its power."

"But even if it's only this part of the power, it's enough for me to play a big role, such as in the formation."

In essence, the formation is about manipulating the power of heaven and earth.

Before setting up the formation, on the premise of understanding the corresponding laws, a complex method is used to display the power of heaven and earth in the form of a formation. This is the method used by most formation masters.

But now, as the controller of this world, Qi Ping has an unparalleled advantage in manipulating the power of heaven and earth. To a certain extent, manipulating the powerful power of heaven and earth or the power of mountains and rivers is almost the same as manipulating the spiritual power in his body.

So when setting up the formation recently, Qi Ping found that the powerful formation that he could only set up with great difficulty before could now be set up easily!

This surprised Qi Ping greatly!

In this way, his level in formation will surely improve by leaps and bounds, greatly narrowing the gap with the Grand Elder Ling Qianjue.

So based on this situation, Qi Ping quickly made a plan to quickly learn the third-level formation and comprehend part of the fourth-level formation. With the talent of [Lord of Mountains and Rivers], Qi Ping was confident enough to accomplish this task.

Moreover, the third-level formation and related knowledge were not difficult for Qi Ping in Qingyuan Sect.

The only troublesome thing is the fourth-order formation. Qi Ping currently does not have the authority to query any knowledge about the fourth-order formation.

Therefore, Qi Ping planned to go to the neighboring Tianhuo Territory to quietly complete some mysterious black market tasks, and accumulate enough black market points to exchange for some fourth-order formations while trying not to anger this terrifying force.

In addition, Qi Ping not only discovered that with the talent of the Lord of Mountains and Rivers, he not only had an advantage in arranging formations, but also had a greater advantage in dismantling formations!
Because setting up a formation requires very complex and profound knowledge of formations, but dismantling a formation is much simpler, as long as you can fundamentally disrupt the formation's route.

It may be difficult for other practitioners, but for Qi Ping, who has powerful control over the power of heaven, earth and mountains, it can do it much easier!
So after confirming these two things, Qi Ping decided that in addition to cultivating spiritual plants, he would devote all his energy to the formation to ensure that the level of the formation would be improved in the shortest time possible.

"As long as my formation skills are good enough to quickly destroy a fourth-tier formation, Ling Qianjue's identity as a fourth-tier formation master won't be too much of a threat to me."

To destroy the threat of a formation master's formation is definitely not as simple as just destroying an arm.

In addition, there is another very important purpose for Qi Ping to be so anxious to improve his formation level, which is to completely destroy the ground vein formation arranged by Ling Qianjue under the Qingtian Domain, and rescue the group of earth spirit fire lizards.

Qi Ping can be completely certain that once these two things are completed, his control over the Qingtian Domain will inevitably be greatly improved to a higher level. At the same time, the power of living beings obtained will also increase dramatically. These will greatly increase Qi Ping's chance of winning.

For practitioners above the Jindan stage, time passes too quickly. It often takes several years for one realization to pass.

The same is true for Qi Ping. More than 20 years have passed in a flash!
Qi Ping originally wanted to continue his retreat, but today, he suddenly felt a beating in his heart, as if some mysterious inspiration was reminding him that a crisis was approaching and he should prepare for it early.

"A crisis is coming? What's going on?"

Feeling the vague sense of crisis, Qi Ping immediately became alert.

He hadn't known how many years it had been since he had had this feeling, and it suddenly reappeared at this moment, causing Qi Ping to suddenly become a little nervous.

Faced with this situation, Qi Ping first thought of some plans of the Supreme Elder Ling Qianjue.

But he did not confirm that this was the reason. After all, there were too many dangers in the world of cultivating immortals, and it would be foolish to blindly attribute something.

So Qi Ping immediately found the little fairy tiger and started to deduce and calculate the matter with it.

However, after a while, a trace of blood actually flowed out from the corner of the little fairy tiger's mouth.

Faced with this situation, Qi Ping immediately stopped Xiao Xianhu from continuing to deduce.

"I already know the situation. No need to deduce it further. Leave the rest to me!"

Qi Ping looked at the blood flowing from the corner of the little fairy tiger's mouth, and couldn't help but feel fortunate that the little fairy tiger was a beast of fortune, with the power of fortune to block the backlash of heaven's will, otherwise the little fairy tiger would definitely have been seriously injured by that blow just now.

It wasn't that the little fairy tiger was attacked by other Tianji monks just now, but the things it deduced and calculated were too involved, which led to the backlash of Tianji.

This is also the reason why Qi Ping himself did not dare to practice the way of Tianji. Although this way is powerful, without a long life or the protection of good fortune like the little fairy tiger, it is simply an act of self-destruction and cutting off one's own path.

"But now we can be sure that this matter is indeed related to Ling Qianjue. But what is the reason that even the little fairy tiger has suffered a backlash?"

In the last scene, Xiao Xianhu only saw a strange green object that covered the sky and the earth, with countless strange things attached to the green object, and then Xiao Xianhu had to immediately interrupt the deduction.

"No matter what, now is the time to act. Otherwise, if the Qingtian Domain is destroyed, my path to immortality will not be so easy."

With this in mind, Qi Ping began to take stock of the accumulation and growth of the past twenty years, as well as the information collected over the past twenty years, and determined the next action plan.
During these twenty years, there is one thing that Qi Ping focused on, which is the development of the second territory.

At this moment, in a secret underground area several large areas away from the Qingtian Area, in the center of a super boulder covered with countless hard stones, an abandoned land without any living creatures or value is protected by a series of powerful hidden formations and defense formations.

In this place, even if a Jindan stage cultivator breaks in, he will die!
Within this formation, there are many king-level bees. The most eye-catching is the terrifying spiritual tree in the middle of the formation that exudes the breath of the underworld!
Huge quantities of spiritual stones, spiritual liquids, and various precious yin-attributed spiritual objects were piled around the spiritual tree for it to absorb.

And this tree is the Huangquan Tree, a rare tree in heaven and earth!
Legend has it that when mature, this powerful tree can communicate with the netherworld! Now, this strange tree has completed a life contract with Qi Ping. No matter where Qi Ping dies in the future, as long as this Yellow Spring Tree survives, Qi Ping can be resurrected here!
Now that he has a second base, Qi Ping has more confidence to venture into the world of immortal cultivation.

"With this second territory and the rich power of life on my body, I can now do my best without any worries!"

When life is not in danger, the next most important thing is naturally to fight for resources and protect and develop one's own territory.

Secondly, during these twenty years, Qi Ping's animal companions have grown extraordinary.

Creatures like the little fairy tiger, little fox, little flower demon, little green snake, and four-colored deer have now all reached perfection at the second level, and have all reached the point where they can break through to the third level.

Especially the little green snake, its terrifying comprehension and growth potential are gradually showing. With Qi Ping's resources and knowledge, and so many powerful animal companions as learning objects, the little green snake at this moment has really grown to an invincible level in its class. Its body, soul, combat skills, spells, and combat experience... It has almost no weaknesses, which is even more outrageous than Yaya when he was at the second level.

When a spiritual beast like the Black Green Snake, which has great potential, grows up, its combat power will be truly terrifying.

However, Qi Ping was not in a hurry to let them break through. Instead, he let them continue to polish their foundation and it would not be too late to break through after the issues of Ling Qianjue and Lin Wuji, the two Nascent Soul cultivators, were resolved.

Anyway, the lifespan of spiritual beasts is much longer than that of humans, so it will be good for them to lay a good foundation.

Qi Ping is very satisfied with the growth of these animal companions, and he also has extremely high expectations for them. When each of them grows to their peak, they can provide Qi Ping with powerful talents and combat power enhancements.

As long as the animal companion is strong enough, the combat power of the Beastmaster Druid will have no upper limit!

Of course, apart from these animal companions that are stuck at the second level, the growth and development of other animal companions are the most amazing!
First of all, after so many years of explosive growth, the number of earth ants has grown to more than 200,000!

Although most of them are ordinary second-level earth vein ants with thin bloodlines, with such a large number, Qi Ping's exploration speed of the underground world has increased wildly!

At this moment, except for the deepest and most difficult-to-reach places, all of Qingtian Realm has been explored by the Earth Vein Ants!

Qi Ping even explored a large part of several large areas nearby.

In this crazy exploration, Qi Ping harvested countless first- and second-level resources! He even found quite a few third-level spiritual objects. The only pity was that he only found three fourth-level spiritual objects, one of which was a huge fourth-level high-level Nanming refined iron!
A mature fourth-level intermediate earth-attributed Polygonatum odoratum!

A buried dragon blood wood! Qi Ping estimated that this was most likely a special spiritual wood nurtured and watered by the blood of a fifth-level dragon.

The Earth Vein Ant King has now successfully advanced to the third level using some of the Polygonatum odoratum, and Qi Ping's shared [Earth Vein Spirit Body] talent has therefore been greatly improved.

However, the greater contribution of the Earth Vein Ants' exploration was that they helped Qi Ping discover more places in the Qingtian Domain where there were ecological problems, as well as two other secret places of the Supreme Elder Ling Qianjue.

Most of these ecological problems have been solved by Qi Ping, which has greatly enhanced Qi Ping's control over the Qingtian Domain. At the same time, the power of living beings is also continuing to grow. At this moment, Qi Ping is completely confident that he can be resurrected at any time through the power of living beings when he dies!

In today's Qingtian Domain, except for the deeper levels that cannot be explored at present, the underground world of Qingtian Domain no longer has any secrets for Qi Ping.

Even the restoration of the Qingtian Territory's veins and the complex planning of the underground escape route have been preliminarily completed.

Then outside the earth vein ants are the bee colonies. With the resources brought back by the earth vein ants, the number of Bixia earth dragons first increased dramatically, and now has reached tens of thousands.

Such a large number of Bixia Earth Dragons naturally also provide a huge amount of [Wood-generating Spiritual Energy], and the output of spiritual medicines in Qi Ping's territory has also increased dramatically.

Afterwards, the vast amount of spiritual medicines were all brewed into honey by the sub-king-level balanced bees. The number of Nether Bees and Sky Brilliant Bees also increased dramatically, and now their number is several times that of more than 20 years ago.

In terms of specific numbers, the number of Nether Bees and Sky Bees has officially exceeded three thousand!

Don't underestimate these bees, they are king-level bees! With the combined attack formation that Qi Ping specially customized for them, they already have the power to kill Yuanying!
Compared to bees, Crow's strength grows relatively slower. It has just broken through to the middle stage of the Golden Core. However, with Crow's powerful bloodline, it is enough to completely deal with even the late stage of the Golden Core.

The most exaggerated one is naturally the little stone spirit. With the help of that huge piece of fourth-grade high-grade Nanming refined iron and countless mineral veins explored over the years, the little stone spirit has now broken through to the fourth grade!

This breakthrough was naturally also achieved by Qi Ping taking the little stone spirit to the Bichuan area.

Even the Sin-Burning Sword, which possessed special spirituality, was cultivated by the little stone spirit into a fourth-tier spiritual weapon with astonishing power!
Qi Ping also tested it, and it was indeed a magical weapon, but the power it exerted in his hands was limited. It was far less powerful than in the hands of the little stone spirit, and it was not even as powerful as the treasure of destiny in his hand, the [Mountain and River Seal].

After Qi Ping possessed the talent of the Lord of Mountains and Rivers, the power of the Mountain and River Seal was completely released. At this moment, in Qi Ping's hands it has become his most powerful spiritual weapon!
The power of the Mountain and River Seal is becoming even stronger after being repaired by the little stone spirit.

Now, with the fourth-level stone spirit and the fourth-level Burning Sin Sword, their combat power is terrifying, and their defense is extremely outrageous.

In general, Qi Ping currently has two animal companions who can exert the combat power of the Nascent Soul level, and both of them are very superb.

With their blessing, Qi Ping is able to possess the power of Nascent Soul level just by relying on the [Beast King's True Body]!
Not to mention Qi Ping's own combat power and the blessing of the upgraded [Lord of Mountains and Rivers].

"In addition, with more than 20 years of research on formations, and the support of the Lord of Mountains and Rivers, it should be no problem to destroy Ling Qianjue's formation. We also have solutions and confidence to destroy his other secret bases and save the Earth Spirit Fire Lizard."

After repeated comparisons and analyses of combat power and making sure that nothing was missed, Qi Ping led the swarm of bees and the little stone elves out of the territory of the Yunwu Mountains.

This time, Qi Ping decided to take the initiative in the identity of Feng Dao Ren, and at the same time, he also took advantage of the destruction of Ling Qianjue's underground arrangements to greatly increase his control over the Qingtian Domain.

"After so many years of preparation, whether this battle can decide the outcome depends on this one..."
