Ye Feng suddenly realized, no wonder this old man is so powerful, yet he is willing to guard this place all year round. It turns out there are such secrets.
"What should we do now?" Ye Feng asked.
He could feel that although the external prying power was weak, it was extremely cunning and was eroding the formation nodes at the base of the tower bit by bit.
The old man glanced at him: "The origin of the dragon soul in your boy's body is extremely sensitive to the fluctuations of the formation, and it contains a hint of yang and righteousness. It is an excellent material to restrain those evil things." He withered. The thin finger pointed downward, "Go to the Gengjin position on the third floor of the tower base. That is the weakest node in the attack. Use your strength to stabilize it."
This is obviously a test and a kind of trust.
Ye Feng did not hesitate and nodded: "Junior understands."
He turned around and got off very quickly.
The internal structure of the Demon Locking Tower is complex and filled with demonic aura. It is not easy for an ordinary foundation-building monk to resist the erosion of the demonic aura, let alone penetrate deep into the base of the tower.
Ye Feng relied on the guidance of the dragon soul's origin and his strength far beyond the same level after just refining the ice soul marrow, and he easily passed through the demonic aura.
There were blind demons who tried to stop them along the way, but they were all split open by him with a casual sword, and turned into pure demon soul power that was absorbed by the Star Thunder Sword.
Soon, he arrived at the Gengjin position mentioned by the old man.
As expected, the demonic energy here is the most chaotic. The formation runes are flickering and tiny black threads are trying to seep in from the cracks in the stone wall, bringing with them a cold aura.
Ye Feng's eyes condensed, and the power of the stars surged out of his body and poured into the Star Thunder Sword.
The sword emitted a clear dragon roar, stars flashed, and he suddenly inserted the sword into the core of the formation node.
"Guardian of the stars, town!"
The power of the stars instantly poured into the formation nodes, colliding fiercely with the external evil force.
The original power of the dragon soul also moved accordingly, turning into an invisible barrier, blocking all the black lines that tried to penetrate.
「Zizi~~」
Those black threads melted quickly under the impact of the power of the stars.
Ye Feng could feel that the vibrations at the base of the tower were gradually weakening, and the roar of the demon below was gradually subsided.
He did not dare to neglect and continued to output star power until he felt that the formation node was completely stable and there was no abnormality, then he slowly retracted the Star Thunder Sword. At this moment, there was a layer of fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and this operation took a lot of energy from him.
Back on the eighth floor, the old man still looked as calm as before, but there was a little more approval in his eyes: "Yes, the reaction is fast enough, and the strength is quite pure. You boy, you do have some skills."
He threw out a dark golden jade slip: "This is a fragmented formation diagram that I accidentally obtained in the early years. It is called "Little Star Fighting Formation". It is very consistent with the power of the stars in your body. Take it and understand it. It may be of some use to you in the future to condense the golden elixir and control the power of stronger formations. It can also be regarded as... a small reward for your action today."
Ye Feng took the jade slip and with a sweep of his consciousness, he felt that the formation principles contained in it were as vast as a sea of smoke. Even if it was only a fragment, it was extremely mysterious. He was overjoyed: "Thank you for the gift, senior!"
The old man waved his hand and closed his eyes again: "I'm afraid this tower will not be peaceful in the future. You should take care of yourself."
Ye Feng bowed and exited the eighth floor.
He knew that the old man's words were not alarmist.
This peek is just the beginning. He vaguely felt that a large invisible net was slowly opening. And he seemed to be at the forefront.
He glanced at the jade slip in his palm and felt the star power in his body.
The soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it with earth.
If you want to touch him or the Tianji Sect, you have to ask the Star Thunder Sword in his hand if he agrees!
As for him, he needs to understand the remaining chapters of "Little Star Fighting Formation" as soon as possible. This may become an important trump card for him in the future.
After finally completing the task, Ye Feng stretched out: "Well, it's time to get the contribution points."
...
Although Ye Feng promptly assisted the old man to suppress the abnormal movements of the Demon Locking Tower, the power of spying on the eyes of the mountain-protecting formation still alarmed the senior officials of the Tianji Sect.
In the Tianji Hall, the atmosphere was slightly solemn.
The sect leader Lu Yuanqing sat at the top of the table, his brows slightly furrowed.
Below, Ling Xuzi, Elder Xuan Shuang and several core elders are all listed.
"A warning signal has just come from the Demon Locking Tower formation. There are unknown forces trying to spy on the reality of our sect's mountain protection formation." Lu Yuanqing's voice was low and he spoke slowly, "The method is extremely concealed and tricky. If the senior in the tower hadn't noticed and taken action in time, the other party would have succeeded." The "senior" in his mouth naturally refers to the old man on the eighth floor of the Demon Locking Tower, whose existence itself is one of the top secrets of the Tianji Sect.
Ling Xuzi looked solemn: "The Demon Locking Tower is the foundation of our sect and cannot be lost. Is it possible to find out which force did it?"
An elder responsible for the sect's security shook his head: "The other party acted extremely cautiously and left almost no traces. Judging from its snooping methods, it is definitely not an ordinary person. At least it is a force with extremely high attainments in battle tactics. Its purpose... I am afraid it is not just as simple as testing."
Elder Xuan Shuang snorted coldly: "Huh, who else could it be? Those bastards from Wanjian Sect and Heisha Sect have suffered such a big loss, how can they just let it go? In my opinion, it's probably because they are evil-minded and want to play some conspiracy. "
Lu Yuanqing nodded slightly: "The Wanjian Sect and the Black Evil Sect are indeed suspected of being serious. According to reports from our informants, these two sects have been transferring frequently recently and seem to be gathering manpower secretly. , the target is unknown. However, we need to be cautious in this matter. It is not ruled out that other forces want to take advantage of the situation and take advantage of it.”
While everyone was talking, a disciple hurriedly entered the palace. Hall, report: "Sect Master, elders, Senior Brother Ye Feng asks for an audience."
"Oh? Ye Feng?" A trace of surprise flashed in Lu Yuanqing's eyes, and then he said, "Let him come in."
Ye Feng walked into the hall with a calm aura and calm eyes. There was no hint that he had just experienced a secret danger.
He first saluted the sect master and the elders, and then briefly described what he saw and heard in the Demon Locking Tower, as well as what happened to help the mysterious old man stabilize the formation.
Of course, he did not mention the fragments of the "Xiaozhu Tianxing Formation" given to him by the old man. He only said that he had some insights into the formation due to the guidance of his seniors.
After listening to Ye Feng’s narration, everyone in the hall was moved.
Ling Xuzi’s eyes were even more pleased. This disciple of his was really getting more and more unexpected.
Lu Yuanqing took a deep look at Ye Feng and said slowly: "Ye Feng, you not only discovered the crisis in time this time, but also helped the seniors stabilize the formation, which is a great achievement. What reward do you want?"
Ye Feng smiled slightly: "Master, as a disciple of the Tianji Sect, As a member, it is your duty to protect the sect, and you don’t dare to take credit.
If you really want a reward, the disciple hopes... to gain more understanding of the classics about high-level formations." He showed a strong interest in formations at the right time, which is in line with his achievements in helping to stabilize the formation.
"Okay!" Lu Yuanqing clapped his hands and praised, "With such a desire to make progress, why worry about the sect not being prosperous! I agree, all the formation books in the sect's scripture collection pavilion are open to you without restrictions.
Besides, you take this. ” He flicked his finger, and a jade pendant with a warm luster flew towards Ye Feng.
"This is the "quiet mind jade". It has the effect of calming the mind and assisting in cultivation. It can also withstand an unexpected spiritual attack. I hope you will practice diligently in the future and serve the sect. Make new achievements again."
"Thank you, Master!" Ye Feng took the Jingxin Jade and warmed it. A sense of tranquility penetrated into the sea of consciousness. It is indeed a rare treasure.
