Volume 1 A Thousand Stars Chapter 115 The Beginning of the Great Array
It took two days of hard work, Xie Fan swept the islands in this area again, and this time he collected seven or eight soul purification stones, but they were all golden, and there were no other colors. In addition, a stone cave was found on the largest island, which contained three boxes, but the result was a blue soul-purifying stone-like jade-like object.
Murong Tian found two stone caves, and I also got the treasures of two stone caves, I don't know if there are any more in the future. According to the fact that the token lights one corner at a time, the four caves are likely to be the largest.
Should he light up the remaining two corners of the token first, or should he look for Murong Tian's traces first, lest he find the location of the treasure in advance, if he really took the treasure, wouldn't his trip to the secret realm of the Thousand Illusion Xuandao come in vain? Xie Fan didn't think about what to do next for a while.
After weighing it for a long time, he finally decided to light up all the maps first, because he always felt that there seemed to be a pattern in the arrangement of the islands displayed on the map. Now that I have the treasures of the two stone caves in my hands, I should be able to use them in the end. Without the things in his hands, even if Murong Tian finds the place where the treasure is placed, he may not be able to enter.
Xie Fan was not a person who hesitated to look forward and backward, and since he had made a decision, he did not delay any longer, and drove towards the still black part of the map on the left.
This third corner is lit up relatively smoothly. Xie Fan encountered a golden turtle of the same level as the golden water snake last time, and after spending a lot of effort to kill it, the third horn was successfully lit. Just searched all the islands in this area, and found eight soul purifying stones, six of which were golden, and the other two were red and earthy.
On the largest island, which formed the body of the Thousand Illusion Xuan Island, Xie Fan found the same hole as the previous two times, and went in to explore it carefully. As a result, it is not surprising that the inside of this stone cave is empty, and the treasure should have been taken away by Murong Tian.
Xie Fan stared at the token in his hand, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, if the pattern composed of red and blue points of light was simplified, it was the appearance of most of the Spirit Concentration Array, but it was not a little more complicated than the Spirit Concentration Array he had seen.
Whether it is a spirit condensation array or not, I am really not sure, if it is really a spirit condensing array, then the formation attainment of the person who arranges the formation is beyond his own cognition.
I hope it's just my own conjecture. If it was really the Spirit Concentration Array, wouldn't the opening of this Thousand Illusion Mystery Island Secret Realm also be premeditated by others?
Only the last corner of the token had not yet lit up, Xie Fan raised his left hand, pinched his chin with his thumb and index finger, and smiled slightly. It doesn't matter if you have a premeditated plan or not, since I, Xie Fan, are here, let's smash your premeditated plan.
Xie Fan no longer thought about these things, and directly drove the boating boat to the only sea area on the token that had not yet been lit up. Light up the entire token first, regardless of whether you have a conspiracy or not, let the wind blow you, and I will not move.
The lighting up of the last sea area on the token didn't cost Xie Fan much energy. It's just a pity that in this last area, he has gained very little. There is still a stone cave on the largest island in this sea area, but the treasure in the cave was taken away, if nothing else, it must be Murong Tian's doing. Xie Fan only harvested a few soul purification stones, which were still the same as the soul purification stones he obtained on the two islands just now, most of them were golden.
Xie Fan threw all the soul purifying stones into the space ring, took out the token and looked at it carefully. Now that the tokens are all lit up, the islands on the entire map are unobstructed. The blue islands are sparsely distributed, and it seems that there is not much regularity, but if you add the red islands, only look at the location and not the color, and the regularity of the island distribution is more obvious.
Xie Fan didn't have much knowledge of formations, and he had only read some books on formations when he was in the Dao Realm. But looking at the distribution of islands on this token, his first instinct was: this is a spirit array.
However, there is a center in the middle of the Spirit Condensation Array, and the condensed soul power is concentrated in the center, so that the formation has the meaning of existence. But there is a blank space in the middle of the token, where is the center of the formation?
Could it be that this formation is not what I imagined, but another formation?
No matter how much he meditated, he couldn't come up with a reason. This formation is countless times more complicated than the basic formation I saw in the books, and with my knowledge, it seems that I can't find the operation route of this formation.
Xie Fan was a little regretful, although the token was lit up, but he didn't find any new clues, how to find the last water attribute treasure?
He sighed and put the token back into the space ring, wanting to go to the middle position first to take a look, maybe this center is more special, and it is unknown if it will not be displayed on the token map.
Just as he put away the token and was about to withdraw his soul power from the space ring, he was suddenly surprised by a change he discovered.
The two glowing beads in the jade box are gone!
Xie Fan stared at the two empty jade boxes in the space ring, and subconsciously pinched his chin with his left thumb and index finger and kept pulling. The last time the Soul Purifying Stones were missing, it was because they were absorbed into each other. This time, there is no one left of the two beads, and if it is gone, it is gone. But why did you disappear without noticing?
Murong Tian should also have two such beads, did his beads also disappear without a trace like mine?
After pondering for a long time, Xie Fan put down his left hand and checked the things in the space ring again, wanting to see if there were any changes that he hadn't noticed.
I carefully checked the space ring again, except for the change in the soul purification stone, there was no other change, and it was still the same as before. However, it is okay to say that the change of the Soul Purifying Stone is unexpected, and it is reasonable to say that this change Xie Fan had already predicted. That is, there are only five soul purification stones left in the space ring, and the same color is fused together.
The only thing that surprised him a little was that the golden soul purifying stone was now as delicate as the red and blue hedron in the jade box. This can be sure that what you get in the stone cave is a purer soul purifying stone than the one dug under the bushes.
Xie Fan felt that he must have missed something, and took out the token of the Thousand Illusion Xuandao Secret Realm from the space ring again.
When entering the secret realm, Master and Uncle Xie specially told them that in this secret realm, treasure hunting must be carried out by relying on the power of the soul. In addition to using soul power to drive this token at the beginning, he has always observed this token directly with his eyes, but has not used soul power to probe again.
Maybe if you use your soul power to probe again, it's not a fantasy to make new discoveries.
He held the token in his right hand and penetrated the soul power little by little, without driving it vigorously, so as not to teleport to other islands without waiting for observation.
In the beginning, there was very little soul power entered into the token, and no changes were noticed. After another while, the soul power input into it reached a certain level, and suddenly a scene that made Xie Fan excited.
There is a faint handwriting inside the token!
Xie Fan hurriedly suppressed the excitement in his heart, still maintaining the steady input of soul power, and the handwriting became clearer and clearer, with a total of eighteen words: "Xuanpai is bright, the soul bead is born! The four sacrifices are exhausted, the array door is revealed! The five elements are together, and the soul bead is out!"
When these handwritings were displayed very clearly, and there was no change in Xie Fan's re-input of soul power, he knew that there might be only so much information available, so he withdrew his soul power.
The Xuan Pai is bright, the soul bead is born! The four sacrifices are exhausted, the array door is revealed! The five elements are together, and the soul bead is out!
Among these eighteen words, the first six are easier to understand, "Xuanpai is bright, and the soul bead is born!" It should mean that the token of the secret realm of the Thousand Illusions Xuandao is called Xuanpai, and when this Xuanpai is fully lit, something called a soul bead will be generated.
"The four sacrifices are exhausted, and the array gate is revealed!" Do the four sacrifices refer to the four kinds of sacrificial creatures? The four spirits are the Green Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Xuanwu, this small Thousand Illusions Xuandao Secret Realm, all of whom enter the cultivators below the three-vein star general, will definitely not use these four creatures to sacrifice, it may be four kinds of substitutes.
Does the golden water snake that he killed correspond to the green dragon? And the golden turtle corresponds to the Xuanwu? In this case, there are two of the four animals, and two of them need to correspond to the white tiger and the vermilion bird.
It is not unreasonable to think like this, after all, this Qinglong and Xuanwu live in the water, and the two water monsters he killed are also in the water. And the white tiger and the red bird should be one on land and the other in the sky, and it is normal to not find them in the sea.
Does this "four sacrifices, the array gate appear!" does it mean that you still have to go to the land to kill a tiger, and go to the air to kill a peacock or other monster, so that you can show where the array gate is? Well, it is very likely that you will go to the land and have a look at it later.
The last sentence "The five elements are together, the soul bead is out!", the meaning is also more obvious, that is, collect the five elements, and the soul bead will be born. Now it seems that the so-called "Five Elements Qi" is likely to be these five colors of soul purifying stones.
Xie Fan went through what he had just thought from beginning to end, and felt that his conjecture was still very reliable, so he turned around and looked around, and determined the direction of the middle position against the token. He wanted to go to the middle first to see if there was any land that was not shown on the map, and first verify his idea about the Spirit Formation Array.
Along the way, Xie Fan no longer deliberately killed the water monster, but as long as he was close to the water monster in front of him, he didn't let go, and he basically turned into white light and entered the token with a branch. He paid more attention to the air, hoping to spot the monster in the air, which was one of the four animals that could replace Suzaku.
Thinking about it, until the golden light point representing Xie Fan on the token reached the center of the entire map, not even a single bird feather was seen.
However, Xie Fan didn't take it to heart, what should appear would naturally appear, even if he didn't appear in front of himself, he would appear in front of others. After all, with so many cultivators entering the secret realm, others may not have the means to attack souls.
It's just that when he arrived at the position where the formation center should have appeared, there was still no shadow of the land, so Xie Fan was a little hesitant in his heart, was there anything he hadn't considered, or other conditions had not been met?
