Cultivation Begins From The Desert

Qingyun Court!

This is the name of the small courtyard in front of Zhou Yang and Jiang Fengxian.

A very common name.

"The formation in this small courtyard must have a fifth rank!"

Zhou Yang looked at the wooden gate of the small courtyard solemnly, and muttered to himself in a low tone.

Just now he tried both with his divine sense and "Lihuo Golden Eyes", but he couldn't see through the mist inside. This is not something that can be done by the fourth-order formation.

When Jiang Fengxian heard his words, she also nodded slightly and said: "It seems that the senior who left this cave is still a powerful formation master!"

"Fortunately, the formation outside has exhausted the spiritual energy accumulated in the valley's spiritual veins. Even though the formation inside is powerful, most of it is powered by spirit stones."

"In this case, even if the high-grade spirit stone is used as the driving energy, after hundreds of years, there should be very little spiritual power left to support the operation of the formation!"

Zhou Yang continued to express his opinion, and then the two looked at each other, and immediately sat down outside the yard to meditate and recovered their mana.

Zhou Yang and the others had already experienced the power of the fifth-order magic circle, and neither of them dared to enter the formation without restoring their mana to a perfect state.

And after a series of battles, the two of them really need to take a break to recover.

After a day and a night had passed like this, the two of them, whose mana and mental state had recovered to perfection, had just begun to formally enter the battle.

To Zhou Yang's and Jiang Fengxian's surprise, the formation that enveloped "Qingyun Garden" was not the previous killing formation, but a phantom formation that tested the will and heart of the cultivators.

After entering the formation, the two fell into the illusion respectively, facing various tests of the illusion.

They have to rely on their own will to pass the test of illusions layer by layer, otherwise their consciousness will sink into it forever, and they will eventually exist like walking dead.

This kind of phantom formation is much more terrifying than those killing formations for those who are not firm in their will and whose mental state is not strong enough.

Although the killing array is dangerous, at least it can rely on foreign objects to help pass.

However, there are very few treasures in this phantom array that can help the immortal cultivator pass through, and the immortal cultivator can only rely on his own will to forcibly break through.

Some sects often use this phantom formation to sharpen the minds of their disciples. They have high-ranking monks who monitor the operation of the formation at any time. As long as there is any abnormality in the disciples who are sharpening their minds in the formation, they will immediately shut down the formation.

However, even so, there are often some immortal cultivators who have suffered excessive mental trauma in the illusion, which will affect their future paths.

Of course, for those big sects, this kind of person who can even be injured in the illusion trial is not worth their money to cultivate and pay attention to. No one will care about whether the road will be smooth in the future.

It is impossible for Zhou Yang and the others to have the elders of the division to help close the formation, and they can only deal with danger by themselves.

It can be clearly seen that the faces of the two young men and women who stepped into the gate of the courtyard are sometimes full of smiles, sometimes ferocious like ghosts, and sometimes panicked, as if they are in imminent disaster, struggling in the illusion.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the two of them were already drenched in sweat, their faces were pale, and they looked severely damaged.

uh-huh!

After a low groan, Jiang Fengxian, who had a much higher cultivation base, was the first to wake up from the illusion.

After she woke up, a look of confusion first appeared in her beautiful eyes, then as if she remembered something, her pretty face changed, and she quickly lowered her head to look at her body.

After seeing that her clothes were not damaged at all, she seemed relieved, and raised her head again to look at the environment in the courtyard.

Because she has already passed the illusion test, the white mist in the courtyard has no effect on her, so all the scenery in the courtyard is exposed to her eyes at this time.

I saw that this courtyard is the same as the imperial garden in the palace. The garden is full of rockery and flowing water. There are many pavilions and pavilions everywhere. White jade paths connect the various buildings. The whole courtyard looks exquisite and beautiful.

But the difference is that what is planted in the garden here is not ordinary flowers, but all kinds of precious spiritual grasses and spiritual trees, among which there are even five levels of rare spiritual objects.

Some of these spiritual creatures withered and died due to lack of care for a long time, but most of them were growing vigorously under the nourishment of the abundant spiritual energy in the cave, exuding vigorous vitality.

Jiang Fengxian's beautiful eyes swept over these spiritual objects, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she almost immediately wanted to go forward to pick these spiritual objects.

But before she could take any steps, she stopped again, and turned to look at Zhou Yang, who was still awake beside her.

She frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, she suddenly pinched the magic formula with both hands, raised her hand, and emitted a cyan aura that fell on Zhou Yang, and then yelled with clenched teeth, "Duh! You haven't woken up yet. When will you wait!"

ah!

Zhou Yang yelled, and suddenly stepped back with his head in his hands, his eyes full of panic.

"Friend Zhou, are you alright?"

"The matter was urgent just now. I was afraid that you would be drowned in the illusion and couldn't extricate yourself, so I just used this method of shock to help you wake up. If you offend me, I hope you will be able to do so."

Jiang Fengxian withdrew her jade hand without changing her expression, fixed her beautiful eyes on Zhou Yang and explained.

When Zhou Yang heard her words, his eyes were slightly fixed, and he cupped his hands quickly and said: "You Daoist Jiang is serious. It should be that Zhou thanked you for your help. If it wasn't for the help of Daoist Jiang, Zhou would finally be able to break free from the illusion. If you come out, you will definitely be physically and mentally exhausted, and your vitality will be greatly damaged!"

"You Daoist Zhou, you're being polite, it's just a little effort, the most important thing is, you and I should search this cave first." Jiang Fengxian waved her hand, pointing to the courtyard with her jade hand.

Zhou Yang looked in the direction her jade hand was pointing, his eyes flashed strangely, then he nodded and said: "That's right, it's really important."

Jiang Fengxian would never know that Zhou Yang actually woke up shortly after she woke up, but when she saw that her attention was all on the spiritual objects in the courtyard, he decided to test her out and see her Will he kill him while he is still in the illusion in order to swallow the treasure inside alone?

The result of the trial made him very satisfied. Jiang Fengxian is indeed a partner worthy of his trust, and a fellow practitioner who can make deep friendships.

It's not that Zhou Yang judges the heart of a gentleman with a villain's heart, but he is facing the entire cave of Jindan stage monks, facing many spiritual objects of inestimable value, and facing the possible existence of "Nine Heavens Profound Gold". It is really impossible to easily believe that others can resist the temptation and can't afford to be alone.

And just now, the two of them were trapped in an illusion, which is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for those who want to be alone.

At that time, as long as Jiang Fengxian wanted to do it alone, he could take the head of Zhou Yang's neck with a light flying sword.

Therefore, for Zhou Yang, there is nothing more suitable for testing than this situation.

In fact, Zhou Yang suspected that the reason why the owner of the "Qingyun Garden" arranged a phantom array in the courtyard was to test human nature on purpose.

Just imagine, if a group of people who came to the cave to explore and hunt for treasure entered the courtyard together and fell into an illusion, then the first person to wake up after entering the cave, seeing the courtyard full of spiritual creatures, and his teammates who were still struggling in the illusion without any defense, would it be difficult? Will it give birth to the intention of swallowing it alone?

If someone really intends to monopolize it, then the effect of this phantom formation is much stronger than that of a killing formation!

Of course, these were just his guesses, and he was destined not to get an answer, so he could only suppress all the guesses in his mind, and searched the yard together with Jiang Fengxian.

There are as many as seven or eight palaces with various functions in this courtyard, but Zhou Yang and the two of them chose the main hall in the center as the first search target.

Generally speaking, for this kind of Dongfu built on the ground, the main hall above the ground is the living bedroom of the owner of the Dongfu, and the underground part is the closed room.

If the master of the cave really passed away, his body and main relics should be in the living room or the training room.

The main hall is not small, covering an area of ​​three or four acres. The main entrance is made of thousand-year-old iron wood. The wood used for the two doors together cannot be bought by a monk in the Qi training period for a lifetime.

However, compared to the many spiritual objects that they had seen after entering the courtyard, these two doors only acted as doors in the eyes of Zhou Yang and the others.

After the two looked at each other, Zhou Yang waved his hand, and the closed door opened inward with a bang.

Open the door, and you can see the situation inside at a glance. The whole hall is divided into the front hall and the back hall. The front hall is the place where the host entertains guests. There are many wooden tables, chairs, and cabinets made of spirit wood. There are also many landscape paintings in the wild jungle hanging in the hall, and some of the paintings even depict scenes of life, hunting, and sacrifices of wild and alien races.

The two of Zhou Yang entered the main hall, and only stayed in the front hall for a while, admiring the paintings hanging on the walls of the hall, and then walked into the back hall through the aisle.

The back hall is much larger than the front hall, and it is mainly the master's bedroom and study.

The bedroom was half an acre in size, and there was a millennium warm jade bed inside. The owner of the cave, an old man with white hair, was lying quietly on his back with his eyes closed.

However, on a thousand-year-old iron-wood table in front of the jade bed, there are magical instruments used by the master during his lifetime and personal storage rings, etc. There is also a small formation that protects these things to prevent the aura in the treasure from Dissipation is lost.

From these preparations, it can be seen that the owner of the Dongfu should have made preparations for the Dongfu to be discovered and inherited before Zuohua passed away, and made special arrangements.

"This senior must have been a kind-hearted person who was willing to support the younger generation. Otherwise, we would not have encountered any other dangers except for those two formations along the way!"

"Look, he even specially sealed these personal treasures with a formation to prevent the spirit from overflowing, and reserved them for the benefit of future generations, which shows his good intentions!"

Jiang Fengxian's beautiful eyes swept over the remains of the old man lying on his back on the jade bed, and pointed to the treasures on the wooden table with a moving face, and whispered his opinion to Zhou Yang.

However, when Zhou Yang heard her words, he was a little noncommittal.

Can a benevolent person practice as a casual cultivator to the golden core stage?

A kind-hearted person would arrange that kind of phantom array in the courtyard to test human nature?

Why does he not believe it!
