Chapter 353 The Absolute Magic Array that is about to collapse
"This may be the principle that things must be reversed when they are extreme, and that everything in the world is born and restrained."
Looking at the Demon Devourer who didn't care about him, Su Xiaofan remembered that in Sandra's memory, he was extremely afraid of this thing.
After looking at Demon Eater for a while, Su Xiaofan walked to the depths of the mine again.
He is a little strange, this place is already deep in the mine, and Su Xiaofan has not even met a single person.
Without the observation of divine sense, Su Xiaofan didn't know how big the underground mine was, so he could only keep walking in it.
After tens of thousands of years of excavation, many places underground are basically empty. The underground mine is like an underground world.
But the deeper you go, the stronger the magic energy becomes.
Su Xiaofan couldn't help but frowned. It is very difficult for a cultivator who has been locked up to resist this level of demonic energy.
And there are more Demon Eaters, sometimes there are more than a hundred Demon Eaters in a side road.
Moreover, these Demon Eaters were fighting and devouring each other. Su Xiaofan saw a Demon Eater with a transparent body, which was about five meters in size.
What surprised Su Xiaofan was that he saw many magic stones in many mines.
These magic spirit stones do not refer to the magic spirit stones that have not been mined on the rock wall of the mine, but the ones that are still in the mine after being mined, and the number is very large.
"Um?"
When Su Xiaofan walked out of a fork, the front of him suddenly opened up, and a huge space appeared in front of Su Xiaofan.
This is a space that does not know whether it was excavated or existed in itself.
The entire space is about 30 meters high and covers an area of more than 100,000 square meters. What makes Su Xiaofan even more happy is that he finally met a cultivator here.
In this space, there are about four to five hundred cultivators, divided into four groups, sitting in four directions, and in the center of the space, there is one person sitting.
In the huge space, there are only four or five hundred cultivators, and it looks extremely empty. Even if there are tens of thousands of people in this kind of place, it will not look crowded.
"A formation is arranged here?"
Su Xiaofan stood at the fork in the road, did not go out rashly, but observed carefully.
Different from the scene full of demonic energy in the side road, in that huge space, there is no trace of demonic energy.
Su Xiaofan glanced, and found out that this space should be covered by the formation, and all the magic energy was isolated from the formation.
It's just that there are countless forks connected to this space, and the magic energy in the countless forks has been impacting the formation that protects the space.
"Three years, up to three years..."
Su Xiaofan sensed the strength of the formation, and couldn't help shaking his head. Under the impact of this kind of magic energy, the formation cannot last for too long.
"who?"
Just as Su Xiaofan stepped out of the mine tunnel and entered the formation, he immediately woke up the people in the formation.
"Who are you? Are you new here?"
On the left side of Su Xiaofan's mine, a cultivator stood up.
Su Xiaofan can understand the words of those cultivators. In Sandra's memory, there is the language of human cultivators from the Golden Sun Galaxy.
In fact, not only the Jinyang galaxy, but also all worlds in the universe have a common language, including the Milky Way galaxy.
It’s just that the language of each galaxy has a bit of the spoken language of the galaxy, and Su Xiaofan needs to distinguish it carefully so that Su Xiaofan can hear the other party’s question clearly.
"Do I seem like a newcomer here?"
Su Xiaofan glanced at himself, then at the cultivators in the formation, and immediately understood.
These human cultivators in the formation are not much different from the people on Earth in appearance, but their bodies are all skinny.
All of them were very thin, and some were even disfigured. All the flesh on their faces was gone, and only a layer of skin covered it, making them look like skeletons.
As for Su Xiaofan himself, not to mention being fat for nothing, but at least his figure is normal, his face is even more plump and plump, and there is no shortage of flesh that should be there.
"This fellow Taoist, I don't know which sect you are from?"
The cultivator who stood up couldn't tell his age from his face.
Moreover, these cultivators who have lost their appearance almost all look similar, and people who are not familiar with them can't tell them apart.
But this person should be quite prestigious. When he got up to speak, everyone's eyes were cast on him, but no one spoke.
"I... I am a disciple of Tian Yangzong."
Su Xiaofan paused for a moment, and then said: "My Taoist name is Fanchenzi, my sect was destroyed, although I was hiding everywhere, I was still captured by the demons..."
Su Xiaofan is not talking nonsense, the Tianyang sect he mentioned is indeed a sect of the Jinyang galaxy.
Although this sect is not big, it is famous for alchemy, and is quite famous in the cultivator circle of Jinyang galaxy.
And Tian Yangzong was destroyed by Shandela.
Judging from Sandra's memory fragments, the entire sect was slaughtered, and even the ancestors of the sect were unable to escape. It should not be a big problem for Su Xiaofan to pretend to be a disciple of Tian Yangzong.
"It turned out to be a high-ranking disciple of Tian Yangzong, disrespect, disrespect..."
The man who stood up clasped his fists at Su Xiaofan, "My name is Yu Shengzi, and I am a disciple of Haotian School. Most of the people here are my fellow disciples..."
"Our sect has dealt with Tian Yangzong before, but we have never heard of the name of fellow Taoist Fanchenzi?"
Yu Shengzi looked at Su Xiaofan, although there was no doubt on his face, but he was probing Su Xiaofan's identity in his words.
"My teacher is Daoist Yunhua, who said that I am not broken in the mortal world, and let me practice in the world of mortals, so I escaped from being robbed by the master."
Su Xiaofan sighed, with a sad look on his face, he never thought that he would be able to use his acting skills in this alien galaxy.
But the Yunhua real person that Su Xiaofan mentioned actually existed.
In Shandela's memory, Su Xiaofan saw a cultivator killed by him, with a number plate with the words "Real Master Yunhua" hanging on his waist.
"So it's Daoist Yunhua's apprentice?"
Yu Shengzi heard Su Xiaofan's self-introduction, and his face suddenly showed relief. He knew the real Yunhua.
Besides, Yu Shengzi also knew that Master Yunhua was obsessed with alchemy, and stayed in the alchemy room of Tian Yangzong almost all year round. Even those who asked for pills outside did not know the name of Master Yunhua.
So Yu Shengzi immediately ruled out that Su Xiaofan was a spy sent by the Mozu, because even if the Mozu wiped out Tian Yangzong, they probably wouldn't know the real Yunhua.
"Fellow Daoist, please sit down, standing is too exhausting..."
After Su Xiaofan was ruled out as a spy, Yu Shengzi became enthusiastic immediately, but what he said made Su Xiaofan stunned for a moment.
As a cultivator, he would actually say that standing is exhausting. It is estimated that ordinary mortals would not say such a thing.
But seeing the nodding of the people next to him, Su Xiaofan suddenly understood.
They are all cultivators whose spiritual consciousness has been sealed and their cultivation has been imprisoned.
The external performance of these cultivators, even if they are stronger than ordinary people, but staying in this place full of demonic energy all year round, I am afraid that they are also extremely weak.
After trying to understand these joints, Su Xiaofan also sat down with the flow. He still has many things in his mind, which need to be answered by Yu Shengzi.
"Fellow Daoist Yu Shengzi, how long have you been here? Why are you so weak?" Su Xiaofan casually found a topic.
"We were captured sixty years ago."
Yu Shengzi smiled wryly, "I've been here for sixty years, fellow Daoist Fanchenzi, you come in now, but it's very unfortunate."
Not only Yu Shengzi, but also the dozens of people next to him looked at Su Xiaofan with complicated eyes.
These eyes are not sympathetic to Su Xiaofan, but more of a self-harming emotion in it.
"Fellow Daoist Yu Shengzi, what do you mean by this?"
Su Xiaofan said: "After the younger brother was arrested, he didn't know anything. What exactly is this place where the devilish energy is?"
"Hey, let me tell you about this place first."
Yu Shengzi sighed, "This place was originally the residence of Tianjianmen, but it was captured by the demons long ago. Because there are magic stones here, we were all captured by the demons to mine mines..."
What Yu Shengzi said is basically the same as what Su Xiaofan saw in the memory fragments in Sandra's mind, the difference is not very big.
However, Yu Shengzi didn't know where the demon mine veins came from after the Heavenly Sword Star was destroyed, let alone a planet that was watched by the demons.
"Can't we escape?"
Su Xiaofan said: "Although Fan Chenzi's cultivation is average, he is also a cultivator in the fusion stage. I think that demon general is only in the fusion stage at most. Can't we fight out together?"
Su Xiaofan's unwillingness and anger are in line with his identity as a new rookie. The cultivator who was thrown into the mine by the demons before behaved similarly to Su Xiaofan.
"Get out? How to get out?"
Yu Shengzi looked at Su Xiaofan with a look of shock on his face, "I didn't expect Fellow Daoist to be a senior in the fusion stage, this junior is disrespectful..."
"Now that we're here, there's no need to talk about it, let's call him a fellow Taoist." Su Xiaofan waved his hand, feeling as if he had overstated his cultivation.
Actually, Su Xiaofan didn't know that most of the high-level cultivators in the Jinyang galaxy had been hunted down by the demons long ago.
Nowadays, there are only some low-level cultivators with hidden cultivation bases hidden on some planets occupied by demons, and those in the Nascent Soul Stage are considered strong.
Like the group of people like Yu Shengzi, Yu Shengzi has the highest cultivation level, but he is only a cultivator in the middle stage of Yuanying.
"Fellow Daoist Fanchen, even if you are in the fusion stage, you will be useless here..."
Yu Shengzi gave a wry smile, but he didn't struggle with addressing, so what about those who are in the body-fit stage, they are imprisoned here, and their spiritual cultivation is imprisoned, and everyone is on the same starting line.
Of course, when Su Xiaofan just came in, the energy in his physical body has not been exhausted, and the spiritual energy in his body can still circulate. If he really can sustain it, he can still last a little longer than theirs.
But in the eyes of Yu Shengzi, this is useless, because all the cultivators in this space will soon face catastrophe.
"Fellow Daoist Yu Shengzi, what did you mean when you just said that you came here by accident?"
Su Xiaofan asked: "It's up to me whether I come here or not. How can I say it's a coincidence?"
"Fellow Taoist, let me tell you the truth."
Yu Shengzi glanced at the surrounding crowd, and sighed: "The formation that protects us is about to run out of energy, and when the formation disperses, we will all die..."
Under the protection of the formation, the cultivators living here can sustain themselves. If there is no formation to isolate those demonic energy, these people may not be spared under the attack of the magical energy.
Actually, the reason why people like Yu Shengzi are so thin is not entirely due to their inability to absorb spiritual energy.
It was them, the cultivators of the Nascent Soul stage, who injected aura into the eyes of the formation, and maintained the operation of the formation in this way.
But this method is nothing more than drinking poison to quench thirst. It is estimated that they will not be able to continue after two or three years at most.
That's why Yu Shengzi said that Su Xiaofan's arrival was unlucky, and that in two or three years at most, he would face this evil attack with them.
"Who arranged this formation? Why were there spirit stone formations at that time?"
Su Xiaofan said: "I am familiar with some formations, and I have relied on formations to avoid the pursuit of the demons all these years, but I have never seen this formation..."
Su Xiaofan observed a corner of this formation with his divine sense, and found that the arrangement of this formation is extremely mysterious. In that formation, there are only three high-grade spirit stones.
Even if there are four formations, that is, a dozen top-grade spirit stones, just such a few spirit stones can resist the invasion of evil spirits from all directions and protect this space.
The person who arranged the formation should have borrowed some other powers, but Su Xiaofan's divine sense could not detect it, which shows that the person who arranged the formation is very clever.
"Oh? Fellow Daoist Fanchen, you also know the way of formation?"
Right after Su Xiaofan asked this sentence, the person who was originally sitting in the center of the space opened his eyes.
"I dare not claim to be proficient, but I also have some opinions about some formations."
"Oh? Yu Shengzi, bring fellow Taoist Fan Chenzi over here."
The man's eyes lit up when he heard the words, "My name is Xuan Zhenzi, and the formations here, including the formations within a million kilometers around, were all arranged by me..."
"A million kilometers around?"
Su Xiaofan's eyes showed a hint of horror, "Without cultivation, how did senior travel a million kilometers?"
For a cultivator, a million kilometers is really nothing, and a Nascent Soul cultivator can reach it in a short time.
But for a cultivator who has imprisoned his spiritual consciousness and physical body, it is almost impossible to travel a million kilometers.
"If you have a formation, even if you don't have cultivation, so what?" Xuan Zhenzi showed a proud look on his face.
"Fellow Daoist Fanchenzi, senior Xuanzhenzi, is an Earth Immortal cultivator."
Yu Shengzi next to him said in a low voice: "Senior Xuanzhenzi made a great wish back then to protect millions of cultivators on Tianjian Star. It took more than a hundred years to build countless magic formations. My human cultivators can survive until now. It is thanks to Senior Xuanzhenzi..."
In front of Xuan Zhenzi, Yu Shengzi didn't dare to say more, and briefly introduced Xuan Zhenzi's origin.
Xuan Zhenzi was born in a sect with a true immortal ancestor in the Jinyang galaxy. This sect is famous for its formations.
Nearly half of the big formations in the Jinyang galaxy are arranged by the sect of Xuanzhenzi.
When the demons launched a war in the Jinyang galaxy, Xuanzhenzi's sect's sect guarded the mountain formation, which persisted for more than 9,000 years, killing and wounding countless demon disciples.
But in the absence of rescue, Xuanzhenzi's sect was finally exhausted, and it was only hundreds of years ago that a demon king shot and destroyed Xuanzhenzi's sect.
Before that, although Xuan Zhenzi and some brothers above the level of Earth Immortal broke through and killed them, the entire Jinyang galaxy was almost occupied by the demons, and they had no escape.
After hiding in the starry sky for hundreds of years, Xuan Zhenzi was finally captured by a demon king of the demon race and thrown onto the Heavenly Sword Star.
However, Xuan Zhenzi is an Earth Immortal level cultivator after all, and he still released a little bit of spiritual consciousness in the depths of the ground.
Besides, Xuanzhenzi had other means. After being thrown in, he was not at the end of his rope, so he arranged a formation in this underground space to protect the human cultivators.
"Seniors have immeasurable merits, and juniors admire them!"
Hearing Yu Shengzi's explanation, facing Xuan Zhenzi in front of him, Su Xiaofan really admired him.
In an environment filled with demonic energy everywhere, this Xuanzheng didn't think about hiding resources to preserve himself, but took out spirit stones to arrange formations, which is definitely beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"Fellow Daoist Yu Shengzi, without the protection of senior Xuan Zhenzi before, the demons let us mine here, so they just watched us die?"
Su Xiaofan said angrily: "We are dead, who will dig the magic stone for them?"
"The people of the Demon Race don't care about our life or death at all."
Hearing Su Xiaofan's question, Yu Shengzi suddenly smiled wryly, "I don't know how many cultivators on the Heavenly Sword Star have died, and they will catch them after they die, so why would they care.
Besides, the demons have sinister methods, they will exchange the elixir that stimulates the potential of cultivators in exchange for magic stones, once we take those elixirs, our life and death will be out of our control..."
After hearing Yu Shengzi's explanation, Su Xiaofan finally understood that what happened on Tianjian Xing about feelings is not that simple.
Cultivators captured by the demons would not be willing to mine for the demons. At first, most of the cultivators hid in the mine veins, using the spiritual power that was imprisoned in the body and could not be released to fight against the demonic energy.
But in the absence of aura supplementation, this kind of confrontation simply cannot last for a long time. In the end, the cultivator will still be eroded by the magic energy and become half human and half devil.
In this case, if the cultivator still wants to live, he can only use the magic stone to exchange for a kind of medicine called Huamo Dan in the hands of the demons.
After taking the magic pill, the cultivator can suppress the magic energy, but the effect of a magic pill can only last for five years.
After five years, the cultivator must continue to exchange magic spirit stones for magic pills.
Cultivators are also human beings, and as human beings they want to live, because only by being alive can they have a chance to escape from Heavenly Sword Star.
So regardless of whether the cultivator is willing or not, the vast majority of human cultivators are taking the magic pill to survive,
But most of the cultivators don't know that it is just an illusion that the magic pill suppresses the magic energy, but it is actually corroding the cultivator's physical body and spiritual consciousness.
When the cultivator takes twenty Pills of Transforming Demons, which is after digging a hundred years of magic stones for the demons, the Pills of Transforming Demons will explode in the cultivator's body, transforming the entire cultivator into pure magic energy, It was fed back into the demon mine veins.
The viciousness of the demons is in this place. Not only do they want human cultivators to mine, but even dead cultivators make use of them, so that newborn demon mines continue to flow.
Although they know that taking Huamo Pill is drinking poison to quench their thirst, most of the cultivators still succumb to the demons under the thought that living a day is a day.
However, after Xuanzhenzi was thrown into the mine, he changed the situation of the millions of kilometers around him. The formation he set up protected the cultivators in the mine of millions of kilometers.
In the past more than a hundred years, no one among these million-kilometer cultivators has exchanged magic spirit stones for magic pills.
Although the demons were a little surprised, they just thought that some powerful monster appeared in the mine and killed all the human cultivators, so they didn't care much.
After all, a mine with a million kilometers seems to have a large area, but for the entire mine vein of Tianjianxing, it is only a drop in the bucket, and only the demons in charge of this area will care.
So in the past few decades, most of the human cultivators who were caught were cast in this area.
Some demons also went down to the mine to check, but what those demons didn't expect was that a demon-eating monster of the level of a demon general was born in the mine.
In the mine tunnel below, it is almost full of demon devourers. Even the demon generals in the fusion stage dare not go deep into the mine.
There was an intermediate demon general equivalent to the late Nascent Soul in the mine, and he was devoured by the demon devourer.
Since then, the mine veins numbered one to ninety-nine have almost become a forbidden area for the demons.
The demons guarding above are only responsible for throwing repairers into the mine, but they dare not go down to investigate again.
The magic stones they collect are basically excavated from No. 99 to No. 300 mines, and the veins there seem to have not been affected in any way.
Actually, this was also deliberately done by Xuan Zhenzi, he did not extend the formation beyond the No. 99 mine.
Otherwise, the entire mine vein will not be able to produce magic spirit stones, and it will inevitably cause the demon commander or demon king-level demons to come down to check, and none of them will be able to live at that time.
"I understand. It turns out that those magic spirit stones in the mine were excavated and thrown in by us."
After hearing Yu Shengzi's words, Su Xiaofan immediately understood that the Demon Eaters he had seen before were actually raised by human cultivators.
With the existence of Demon Eater, the demons dare not go down into the mine without any scruples, and human cultivators can keep the secret of this magic formation.
But the current Xuanzhenzi is also at the end of the mountain, because after nearly a hundred years of supporting the magic formation he arranged, the spirit stones in the formation are almost exhausted.
It has to be said that with only a dozen pieces of spirit stones, he can counteract this evil energy for a hundred years. Xuan Zhenzi can definitely be regarded as a genius-level formation mage, and his attainments in formation methods far exceed his cultivation base.
"Then we shouldn't have so few people, right?"
Su Xiaofan looked at the crowd on all sides. These people were cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage, and they were only responsible for sending spiritual energy to the eyes of the formation. There should be someone else who mined the mines.
"Everyone else has gone to mine and will be back in an hour." Yu Shengzi said.
"Fellow Daoist Fanchen, since you are proficient in formations, do you know storage formations?"
Xuan Zhenzi looked at Su Xiaofan, and said: "I suffer from lack of spirit stones in this formation, and it can only last for three years at most. I don't know, fellow Taoist, can you teach me?"
"Storage array?"
After hearing Xuan Zhenzi's words, Su Xiaofan had a little understanding in his heart, he knew where these spirit stones that Fan Chenzi had placed in the Absolute Demon Formation came from.
Presumably before Xuanzhenzi was arrested, he engraved a storage formation on himself, and then hid spiritual stones and other cultivation materials in it.
In the depths of the ground, the suppression of the will of the demons is not so strong, so Xuan Zhenzi can use his spiritual consciousness, take out the spirit stones in the formation, and set up the magic formation to save these cultivators.
However, Xuan Zhenzi's actions also exhausted the resources of the sect he brought with him when he broke out.
"Fellow Daoist, all the resources we brought in have been used up. I hope you can help me a little bit, otherwise the formation will collapse, and you won't be able to hold on for long..."
Yu Shengzi also spoke at this moment, they all thought that Su Xiaofan had resources in him, and wanted Su Xiaofan to use them to strengthen the formation.
"How did you bring the resources in?"
Su Xiaofan was a little curious when he heard the words, and looked at Yu Shengzi.
Xuanzhenzi has a storage array, and it is easy to understand the resources brought in, but people like Yu Shengzi can also bring in the resources. Don’t those demons not search them?
"Mortal mortal fellow Taoist, cultivator resources are not valued by the demons."
Yu Shengzi shook his head, and said: "Swallowing the stored magic weapon into the stomach, or hiding it in the flesh and blood of the wound, basically it can be brought in, presumably the same is true for fellow Taoists?"
Demons need magic spirit stones for cultivation, and the spirit stones of human cultivators have no effect on them, and those magic tools cannot be used by demons.
So they just want to occupy the Jinyang galaxy, kill or capture human cultivators, but they don't care much about the resources of human cultivators.
The cultivators who were captured on Heavenly Sword Star had something on them, but after maintaining the formation for a hundred years, the resources of these cultivators were basically exhausted.
"I did bring a lot of spirit stones in!"
Seeing the miserable appearance of all the people present, Su Xiaofan also felt the same, and was ready to take out something.
"A lot of spirit stones?"
Hearing Su Xiaofan's words, not only Xuan Zhenzi and Yu Shengzi's eyes lit up, but all the cultivators guarding the surroundings cast their gazes over.
"I have a magical storage device that can hide my body, and they haven't been searched."
Su Xiaofan said: "I took most of the spirit stones that Tian Yangzong stored in a secret place back then, and now I will contribute them."
When Su Xiaofan left Blue Star, although he left many spiritual stones in Blue Star.
But he has dug too many spirit stone veins on the earth, and there are several complete veins in the space in his body, and all of them are top-quality spirit stones.
"Hidden magic weapon? If you can escape the detection of the demons, the level of the engraved hidden formation is not low..."
Xuan Zhenzi was really obsessed with formations, after hearing Su Xiaofan's words, he actually shifted his attention to the magic weapon for storage.
"Senior, juniors will not take out this magic weapon."
Su Xiaofan gave a wry smile, his formation skills were not good enough to communicate with Xuan Zhenzi, and it was true that the space in his body could not be used for Xuan Zhenzi to observe.
"Fellow Taoist, let's take out the spirit stone first."
Yu Shengzi can't wait for this meeting. In recent years, they have injected spiritual energy into the eyes of the formation every year. Now the Nascent Soul has shrunk to the point where it is about to fall.
If no more spirit stones are put into the eyes of the formation, I am afraid that Yu Shengzi and others' Nascent Soul will no longer exist in a year, and the formation will only last for two or three years at most.
"good!"
Su Xiaofan nodded, and he also saw that these Nascent Soul stage cultivators had reached the point of exhaustion.
Su Xiaofan waved his hand, and in front of Xuan Zhenzi and Yu Shengzi, a nearly kilometer-long Lingshi vein appeared.
The aura emanating from the top-grade spirit stone immediately filled the entire Absolute Demon Formation.
In this place where the aura had been exhausted for countless years, the sudden aura opened up all the pores of the people, greedily absorbing the aura emitted by the spirit stone veins.
"This... is this a top-grade spirit stone vein?"
Seeing this kilometer-long vein inlaid with countless top-quality spirit stones, Xuan Zhenzi and Yu Shengzi were dumbfounded.
They knew that Su Xiaofan might have hidden some spiritual stones, but no matter what, they never thought that Su Xiaofan actually hid a mineral vein, and it was a top-quality mineral vein.
You know, the Jinyang galaxy is just a middle-level cultivator civilization star galaxy.
Although there are top-grade mineral veins, all of them are occupied by powerful sects, and basically they are almost mined.
At least Xuanzhen didn’t know for a while, where there is such a kilometer-long ultra-high-quality mineral vein, he has never even heard of it.
"Well, this is the secret hidden by the master, I have taken it out..."
Su Xiaofan explained perfunctorily, and he also knew that these people present might not believe it.
But Su Xiaofan has no choice, because all he collected back then were top-grade ore veins, and it was not easy to find top-grade spirit stones.
You must know that although the Ziyun star that merged with the earth is remote in the original galaxy, it is still a planet in the star system of the four major cultivators.
But when it came to Jinyang Galaxy, Su Xiaofan's attack seemed a little astonishing, which made Xuan Zhenzi and others feel a little dazed for a while.
