Chapter 128 Test Formation
"Brother, don't worry. This monkey demon can't do anything to me." Wu Yi seemed very confident. Yes, the five-fold increase in the Burning Blood Technique almost killed the monkey demon before, so Wu Yi was not too worried.
The dust cleared, and Wu Yi was not in a hurry to attack. He was hit by a punch on the chest of the monkey demon before. This is the middle dantian, which is a very critical place for Wu Yi's spiritual energy to circulate throughout his body. Some cultivators do not store spiritual energy in the lower dantian when practicing, but in the middle dantian, which shows the importance of this place.
There are three dantians in the human body. The upper dantian is the place of the governor meridian, also known as the "Niwan Palace"; the middle dantian is the tanzhong point in the chest, where the zongqi gathers; the lower dantian is the guanyuan point of the ren meridian, three inches below the navel, where the essence is stored. The upper dantian is the root of sex, and the lower dantian is the root of life.
In ancient times, all cultivators practiced three paths in parallel, and the three dantians stored essence, energy and spirit respectively. In other words, it was actually correct to store spiritual energy in the middle dantian. However, with the great changes in the world, the resources needed for the three paths in parallel were difficult to gather in later generations, and it evolved into a single path cultivation as the mainstream.
As for why spiritual energy is stored in the lower dantian now, it is for the purpose of nourishing energy with essence.
No matter which method a cultivator practices, it is not wrong to say that essence, energy and spirit are the three treasures. They all regard the dantian as the place to store essence, energy and spirit, and attach great importance to the dantian, just like the "root of life".
After a dozen breaths, Wu Yi had adjusted the disordered spiritual energy in his body to peace. He couldn't help looking at the cave. At this time, the flying dust had not yet dispersed, and it was difficult to see with his eyes, but it did not hinder Wu Yi's spiritual consciousness from exploring.
Sensing that the monkey demon was recovering itself, Wu Yi understood that his last blow had also caused great damage to it, otherwise the monkey demon would not have not come out until now.
But Wu Yi had no intention of waiting any longer. If it was just for training, it would be fine. But now it was the time of the true teachings competition. If it took too long, Li Gu and Zheng Guangming would inevitably have some objections.
Feeling Wu Yi attacking him, the monkey demon, a rough man, did not choose to fight Wu Yi head-on, but ran to the side and played a game with Wu Yi.
If Wu Yi thought at first that it was because the monkey demon was seriously injured and had no strength to fight again, he no longer had this idea.
Not to mention that the monkey demon still had an intact arm, Wu Yi did not find anything unusual in the monkey demon's arm swing during the chase. Obviously, the monkey demon's recovery ability was also extremely strong, and the broken bones had little effect on it.
"Don't run, monster." Wu Yi shouted, and the colorful pheasant scissors turned into a sword and hit the monkey demon.
The monkey demon finally stopped running, because it was too big to outrun the colorful pheasant scissors anyway. It turned around and knocked the colorful pheasant scissors away, but was also caught up and entangled by Wu Yi.
After the first collision, Wu Yi found that his previous guess was correct. With his current five-fold increase in strength from the Burning Blood Technique, there was still a gap between him and the monkey demon, but it was not much higher. The monkey demon was indeed an excellent opponent for him.
Every time he collided with the monkey demon, Wu Yi's blood and qi would vibrate once. He was not seriously injured, but it greatly accelerated the movement of blood light, which was of great benefit to Wu Yi's blood light cultivation.
If he fought with the monkey demon for ten days and a half months, Wu Yi believed that his blood light cultivation would definitely be able to reach a higher level. Unfortunately, Wu Yi knew that this was just a luxury, and he could not spend so much time here.
The monkey demon was a little impatient when he saw that he could not force Wu Yi to retreat. After all, there were three people on Wu Yi's side, and the other two were still eyeing him. If he could not even take down Wu Yi alone, wouldn't it be a declaration of defeat?
After removing some of his strength, the monkey demon let Wu Yi knock him away with a palm. Wu Yi thought the monkey demon was going to escape, so he hurriedly chased after him. Unexpectedly, a strong breath suddenly emanated from the monkey demon, which directly forced Wu Yi to retreat.
"Roar." The monkey demon roared to the sky, hitting his chest with his two arms, making a muffled sound.
But this was not enough to worry Wu Yi. What really made Wu Yi serious was that the surrounding earth-attributed spiritual energy gathered towards the monkey demon and gathered on the monkey demon to form a layer of hard armor.
It seems that the monkey demon has already comprehended the Tao rhyme of the earth. Wu Yi knew in his heart that the next battle would be a bit of a grind. The monkey demon did not use this Tao rhyme before, obviously because of some restrictions. Now that he used it, it was obviously pushed to the limit by Wu Yi.
Wu Yi was not wrong. There was a trace of the blood of the ancient Hercules Ape in the monkey demon's body, but the blood was thin. However, the monkey demon also relied on this blood to comprehend the Tao rhyme. However, every time the Tao rhyme was used, the blood in the monkey demon's body became thinner, so the monkey demon rarely used it.
"Junior brother, are you still sure?" Li Gu asked Wu Yi. After discovering that the monkey demon had comprehended the Tao rhyme, even he did not dare to say that he could win easily. The implication was to ask Wu Yi whether he wanted to retreat.
Wu Yi did not understand Li Gu's true intentions. He thought that Li Gu did not believe that he could still fight the monkey demon and wanted to join the battle to help him. He shook his head and said, "Not yet."
Not letting the monkey demon continue to accumulate mana, Wu Yi took the lead to meet it. The monkey demon's eyes were full of hatred and disdain. It did not look like a demon at all, but full of human nature.
With the outer layer of earth armor, the monkey demon's already huge body expanded by nearly one time, and it was three or four feet tall. Wu Yi's thin body was like a baby in front of it. The monkey demon raised its huge palm and slapped it.
Not knowing how much the monkey demon's strength had increased, Wu Yi tried it a little and finally came to a conclusion that even if he activated the blood burning technique to a tenfold increase, he might not be his opponent.
In addition, there was a layer of earthy yellow aura around the monkey monster's body. Being enveloped by this aura, Wu Yi's speed slowed down a lot. The slow speed offset the disadvantage of the monkey monster's slow speed caused by the armor on his body.
The speed of the two became very slow, but under the suppression of this aura, Wu Yi had to spend more energy for each movement. It was only a matter of time before he fell below.
"Deng——" Zheng Guangming took the lead without waiting for Wu Yi to ask for help. Although the sword directly shot the monkey monster, it did not even break the monkey monster's earth armor, let alone hurt the monkey monster's body.
Not only was Wu Yi affected by the inexplicable aura on the monkey monster's body, but even Zheng Guangming's flying sword was suppressed and slowed down. Otherwise, Zheng Guangming's flying sword was at least a mid-grade life-long magic weapon, so it would not be impossible to break the earth armor.
Zheng Guangming missed the attack and planned to retract the magic sword, but the flying sword was stuck in the earthen armor and could not be retracted for a while. After the monkey demon came to his senses, he pulled out the flying sword and held both ends of the flying sword with both hands, obviously trying to break it.
Zheng Guangming was scared. This was his life-long magic weapon. If it was destroyed, he didn't know how much his cultivation would drop.
Wu Yi saw the monkey demon's actions and knew its intention. He stopped suppressing it. He activated the blood burning technique to a ten-fold increase. His veins bulged and his momentum burst out. He briefly broke through the suppression of the monkey demon's inexplicable aura. He smashed the earthen armor wrapped around one of the monkey demon's arms with one punch, and even repelled its hand. He took the flying sword and threw it back to Zheng Guangming.
"Junior brother, be careful." Zheng Guangming saw the monkey demon punching Wu Yi before he could catch the sword, and hurriedly reminded him.
Wu Yi saw the monkey demon's movements, but it was too late to retreat at this time, and he did not try to avoid it. He directly punched the monkey demon, and a powerful shock wave was generated at the collision point between the two, as if a gust of wind swept through, and the surrounding grass and trees were suppressed and bent.
The earth armor covering the monkey demon's hand was also shattered, and Wu Yi's bulging blue veins directly burst out small holes, and then the small holes gathered into large holes, blood spurted, and the bones were faintly visible.
Not daring to take this huge force head-on, like a pine tree's foot to remove some of the strength, Wu Yi was rushed far away by the powerful impact, and broke several trees in succession before slowly sliding down.
"Junior brother, are you okay?" Li Gu and Zheng Guangming quickly ran to Wu Yi's side and helped Wu Yi up, and said with concern.
The monkey demon was in a dominant position, but its speed was too slow, and it was unknown how long it would take to run over. If Wu Yi and the other two wanted to leave, the monkey demon could not stop them at all.
But Wu Yi didn't plan to escape in such a disgraceful way. He planned to test how powerful the Nine Ghosts Locking Palace Array was after adding the evil ghosts. Before, the spirit ghosts as the array base could trap the foundation-building cultivators. Now it should be stronger, but I don't know if it can trap this monster that has comprehended the Tao rhyme.
"Brother, look, we." Li Gu was a little embarrassed. Now Wu Yi understood what he meant. He just wanted to escape, but he didn't plan to do so.
Holding Li Gu's hand, Wu Yi shook his head at him.
Li Gu's eyes widened in disbelief. Could it be that Wu Yi had a backup plan? This monkey monster was beyond their strength.
Wu Yi responded with a reassuring smile, but his smile looked a little pale with blood flowing from his arm. Li Gu didn't understand why Wu Yi was so stubborn, but he was also very curious about Wu Yi's confidence and didn't leave.
Wu Yi struggled to stand up, and the four ghosts gathered around him from nowhere, like a multitude of stars surrounding the moon, and the aura was formed.
With a wave of his hand, dozens of spirit ghosts appeared, with condensed aura.
With another wave of his hand, thousands of evil ghosts appeared, with a clear formation.
What a great army of ghosts, even Li Gu, who was not familiar with this, could see that Wu Yi must have trained these ghosts privately.
The thin real person who was watching Wu Yi's disciples in the depths of the clouds happened to see this scene, and a playful smile appeared on his face.
A golden sword flew to the inner gate, and the thin real person wanted to know the news of Wu Yi. He was sent here by the sect not only to protect the disciples, but also to monitor the disciples, especially to discover the spies sent by other sects and schools.
Wu Yi's method made him very curious. It was not like the wealth that an ordinary foundation-building cultivator could have. It was too rich, even he was a little jealous.
The golden sword used by Jindan Zhenren to transmit messages was different. He received a reply in just a few dozen breaths. Wu Yi's Nine Ghosts Locking Palace Formation had not even been set up, but the extremely slow monkey demon had not made much progress either.
"Nine Ghosts Locking Palace Formation? Interesting, but where did these ghosts come from?" The thin Zhenren got the skills that Wu Yi got from practicing in the Sutra Pavilion twice. It was good to get these news in such a short time, and the rest needed to be collected.
The Nine Ghosts Locking Palace Formation, which stretched for more than ten miles, was finally set up, but there was a whistling wind, ghosts were everywhere, ghosts cried and wolves howled, and the sky was dark inside the formation.
In the outside world, except for Wu Yi, the master, even Li Gu and Zheng Guangming, the two foundation-building cultivators, could not see what was happening in the formation.
The decisive battle slowly began.
