"Let's first analyze what kind of formation this is and how to enter it," Qu Jianlei suggested.
This kind of thing can only be left to Jiao Daoren and Yi He. The others know too little about the formation.
Both of them have outstanding attainments in formations, and Yi He's level is among the best among the casual cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage.
Until now, the team has never asked for the formation that they mastered.
Seizing other people's inheritance by force is a taboo in the world of immortal cultivation, and the team had no similar needs before in the empire.
At this point, without any urging from the team, Jiao Daoren and Yi He took the initiative to share their knowledge of formations.
Next, these two were responsible for providing the design ideas and specific appearances of the formation, while Qu Jianlei and Xiao Hu were responsible for verification.
Qu Jianlei will of course use his greatest computing power to assist in the calculations.
With everyone working together, it only took them ten days to figure out the approximate composition of the blockade formation.
This is a complex formation, composed of multiple formations, and its power can withstand one to three attacks from the out-of-body stage.
If we take out the Boundary-Breaking Shuttle, we might be able to defeat the enemy in one strike, but if that happens, everyone in the team will be hated.
So he could only rely on the small lake to make his guess and see if he could sneak in without anyone noticing.
Artificial intelligence is responsible for the calculations, and Qu Jianlei does divination every now and then - now the Black Horse Tower has been put into use.
While the two of them were busy, the paranoid man asked, "This formation is so sparse, is there any meaning?"
He was not bragging. This formation was indeed powerful, but how could it withstand the attack of the Tiger Clan's Great Lord?
The entrances and exits have been exposed. Although the tiger people have retreated, the probability of them coming back is definitely not low.
To his surprise, no one answered his question, even Jiao Daoren and Yi He remained silent.
Twenty days later, Qu Jianlei finally came up with a plan to sneak in quietly.
This is the option that is selected from many options through divination, and it may be slightly good or moderately bad.
This result is not very good, but there is no better choice - many options are "very bad omens".
There is no doubt that the executors are the pair of Qu Jianlei and Xizhao, and the others can only enter the cave.
Jing Yuexin raised an objection again, "Seniors, can't you return as traveling immortal cultivators?"
Yi He remained silent. Jiao Daoist hesitated and replied, "This can only be used as a last resort..."
"Don't you feel how much the immortal cultivators disdain and reject those who practice evil ways?"
These practitioners who came from the empire could not be considered evil practitioners, but they simply did not attract the wrath of heaven or man.
Even Jiao Daoren and Yi He, when they first came into contact with the team, had an attitude of disdain and contempt.
At this moment, a human face appeared, "Cultivators are relatively reasonable, but first of all, they want you to be treated as one of their own kind."
The arrogance of immortal cultivators is known to all races in the universe who have encountered it!
"Okay," Qu Jianlei said in a deep voice, "I hope this is the last adventure. There's nothing wrong with keeping a low profile."
Then he spent five days getting his body into optimal condition.
Then he brought the two cave dwellings, wore an invisible cloak, and carried a ruler as he quietly moved towards the formation.
In order to sneak in safely, there is an important prerequisite - the formation must be in a moderately excited state.
If it was too intense, there would be no way for him to sneak in, but if it was calm and there were no energy fluctuations, it would be difficult for him to hide.
Fortunately, this is the void. He waited in invisibility for three days and finally waited for a relatively strong wave of corrosive energy.
In order to prevent his cloak from being eroded, Qu Jianlei specially put it away, but the price was that he suffered a certain degree of erosion.
This kind of injury was not very serious to his body, but after all, he started to get injured before he even entered the battle.
The sign of "disaster" was not obtained for no reason.
More than three months later, a mysterious aura suddenly emanated from inside the formation.
Inside the formation, there is an endless desert - farther away is the Gobi Desert, which has some gravel.
The formation set up here relies on eighty-one stone pillars.
Each stone pillar is more than two hundred meters thick and five hundred meters high.
The sky above the stone pillar is the exit to the void. A biting cold wind blows around, making it extremely murderous.
There is a team of cultivators guarding the formation here. There are a total of six Jindan cultivators and nearly a hundred foundation-building cultivators, who are divided into shifts for patrol.
There are also two Nascent Soul auras looming in the distance. They are not responsible for patrolling, but only for fighting and transmitting intelligence.
The breath coming from the sky above alarmed three of the six Jindan.
Although this aura is mysterious, it is very weak. The formation also has energy fluctuations, which ordinary people can rarely sense.
At the very least, none of those foundation-building cultivators could detect it.
But the two Yuanyings farther away sensed it, and in a flash, they arrived at the place where the stone pillar was.
One of these two people is an old woman, and the other is a handsome middle-aged man with a graceful demeanor.
The two looked up at the sky without saying anything.
There was a sound of fluttering robes, and a Jindan had already arrived, "Greetings to the two True Immortals!"
The old woman still looked up at the sky without saying anything. The handsome middle-aged man glanced at the golden elixir and said, "This aura...is there any abnormality in the formation?"
"No," Jin Dan answered respectfully, "I also felt it, it seems that there are some rules suppressing it."
"But as for evil or murderous intent... I didn't feel any."
"Continue to check the formation," the middle-aged man said slowly, "check every link carefully, this place...cannot afford to make any mistakes!"
Jin Dan took the order and left, but the old woman snorted coldly, "If you don't want them to detect the mysterious aura, just say it directly."
"Is it a question of whether I want to or not?" The handsome middle-aged man snorted coldly, "Can the aura of rules be touched by a golden elixir?"
"Don't act so serious, you hypocrite!" the old woman retorted rudely, "You are afraid that others will ruin your chance!"
"The opportunity here... the cause and effect are too great," the handsome middle-aged man shook his head and smiled bitterly, "You and I may not be able to take it."
Of course there are opportunities in the void, but it is also extremely dangerous, not to mention that hundreds of years ago, this place was invaded by hundreds of primitive tribes.
This was originally a prosperous land, but it was caused by the disaster of the void and became what it is now.
Of course, the invasion of the Tiger People also increased the damage, which needs no further mention.
However, even though the two were arguing, they had no intention of leaving.
We are all Yuanying cultivators, so who doesn't know the importance of chance? You can say it doesn't matter, but your body is absolutely honest.
However, it seems that the two do not have any intention of confronting each other, let alone being on the verge of a showdown.
The two waited for three days and three nights, but there was no second burst of energy.
It was the handsome middle-aged man who spoke up, "If there is an opportunity, shall we stick to our previous agreement?"
"Sure, we each take what we need," the old woman answered without hesitation, "but you and I have to work together... don't forget this."
"How could I forget this?" the middle-aged man replied calmly, "First of all, we must ensure that this opportunity is between you and me."
The two waited for another four days, but found that the breath still did not reappear, so the old woman left first.
The middle-aged man waited for another seven days, and then the old woman came to take over the waiting shift.
The two waited for a total of twenty-one days, and when they found that there was indeed nothing unusual, they returned to their respective residences.
For both of them, the opportunity was basically over.
This kind of thing is hard to come by, and many times it happens in a split second, if you grab it you grab it, otherwise you'll miss it.
The two did not completely give up the investigation, but their attention was greatly reduced.
Another month passed, and on a cold and windy night, a figure slowly emerged.
Qu Jianlei's body was covered with scars and half of it was burnt black. His clothes were brand new, but they were just put on.
His face was pale and his breathing was uneven, coming and going.
Even the ruler that Xizhao was using had seven or eight tiny scratches on it.
"Oh my god, I finally found an opportunity," the ruler sent out a slight divine sense, "Let's run quickly."
It took them three months to finally break out of the formation. The key was that Qu Jianlei's spiritual energy was relatively pure.
At the last moment, he even released the Dao Stele to resist the pressure.
The Dao stele did not lift the seal, but slightly eased the pressure of the formation and was then taken back in time.
If the seal were really lifted, Qu Jianlei felt that it might soon attract a true being!
But even so, the aura of the Dao Monument attracted the attention of many cultivators.
The two of them could only hide quietly. Fortunately, among the cultivators who came to investigate, the highest cultivation level was only two Nascent Souls.
Twenty-one days later, the two left, but Qu Jianlei didn't think they really left.
So he held on for another month, and then showed up when he felt that today’s energy was a bit chaotic.
"Please give me some time to relax," Qu Jianlei replied quietly with his spiritual sense, "It's been more than four months, and I'm finally relieved now."
He took out several hundred mid-grade spirit stones and began to absorb them violently.
As for the damage to the body caused by directly absorbing the spirit stone - since he is already at the Nascent Soul stage, the damage will be almost zero.
Anyway, compared to his injuries, the damage is almost non-existent!
He absorbed it for an hour, and three hundred medium-grade spirit stones turned into powder.
Qu Jianlei even collected the powder and adjusted his breathing for about ten minutes before quietly disappearing into the night.
Because he was worried that the sudden fluctuations would attract the attention of immortal cultivators, he simply used his body movements to speed up his journey.
As for the direction of travel...that depends on fate, just run in one direction.
He didn't even dare to release his spiritual sense to investigate.
By the time it was getting light, he had only run seven or eight thousand kilometers and had not left the desert at all.
Then he crawled under the sand again and waited until it was completely dark before coming out and continuing on his way.
He persisted in this way for two days, until the third night, when he finally mustered up the courage to dodge slightly along the way.
In the middle of the night, he escaped from the desert which had traveled more than 100,000 kilometers.
Xizhao couldn't help but complain about his caution, "Boss, are you being too cautious?"
