Chapter 21 Straight to the Clouds
The head of the city was still immersed in the joy of victory at the moment.
Rarely since the fight against the demon race, humanity has had such a great victory.
So much so that when Tang Zheng landed on the city, every soldier, including the cultivators, looked at him with respect and admiration, and when Tang Zheng walked by, everyone automatically made way for him and bowed to him from the bottom of their hearts.
There were also cultivators who stepped forward to get close to Tang Zheng, and Tang Zheng didn't put up a fight, talking to each other, and soon he got to know some cultivators, including the people he had noticed before.
The man in white who has the ability to perceive the sword is called Ximen Changfeng, who is a sword cultivator in the western region of Fengshan, the one who uses the yaoqin is called Binghuang, and no one knows his real name, the one who gathers the soul banner is called the night owl, and the one who controls the puppet is called Shentu Yuan, who is the son of the Shentu family in Fengshan. In the end, the old man who rode the yellow sheep and held the white lotus was called the old man of the yellow sheep, but he was a hermit who finally entered the world because of the catastrophe of the human race.
Although it was the first acquaintance, they were very happy to meet.
At this moment, while talking, an officer came over and handed it to Tang Zai with a brocade box: "Gu Chengshou asked the little one to hand over this thing to the adult." β
Tang Zheng took it and took a look, only to see that there were thirty tickets/receipts of Huitong Bank, each with a denomination of 100,000. Huitong Money Village is a money bank that specializes in the trading of cultivators in Fengshan State, and there are semicolons in various places. Since Gu Pinzhang asked people to send this, then there should also be a semicolon in this Dongjin Pass.
Tang Zheng accepted it and said, "Thank you for the generous gift from the general." β
The officer didn't say much and went back.
Tang Zheng said goodbye to everyone in the name of lack of strength in the war and the need to rest.
After walking for a short time, suddenly a person ran behind him: "Tang Zhenren, Tang Zhenren, please wait!"
Looking back, it was Zhao Qingzheng running over panting, still holding an object in his hand, which was the jade pendant magic weapon given to him by Tang Zheng before.
Zhao Qing ran over and said, "My lord, this is your thing, and I haven't returned it to you yet." β
Tang Zai smiled: "It's given to you, you can take it." β
"Then how can I do it, the little one has only done a little insignificant thing, how dare he accept such a heavy treasure. Zhao Qing hurriedly said, looking at his expression, it was not a deed.
"Heavy treasure...... Tang Zheng whispered. For a mortal soldier, this jade pendant can indeed be regarded as a family heirloom.
After thinking about it, Tang Zheng said: "That's it, I'm new to Dongjin Pass, and I'm not familiar with many places. How about you make me a guide and show me around, and I'll give you this treasure?"
Zhao Qing was shocked when he heard it.
Just be a guide and you can officially get a magic weapon?
"Why, don't want to?" Tang Zheng asked lightly.
Zhao Qing shook his head and nodded in a panic: "Yes!
"Let's go, then. "Tang Zheng has already walked away.
Unlike other cities, Dongjin Pass is large but not prosperous. There are not many people living here, and almost all of them are here to serve the soldiers who defend the city. As a human town to defend against demons, the entire city was designed and built for war from the beginning.
The entire interior of Dongjin Pass is like a huge labyrinth, not only is there a city gate, but even the internal layout is arranged according to the needs of the Xiujie War. There is a forbidden air array above the city, and no demon clan can fly directly over the city; the streets below are narrow, and the buildings on both sides are mostly made of steel, and the windows are facing the street, and people can directly attack the outside when they live in it; the roads are intricate, and the architectural pattern is basically the same, and the shape is like a labyrinth, unless it is a person who has lived in it for a long time, outsiders will enter it, and they will not be able to figure out the road for a while, and they will definitely lose their way; there are also underground passages dug under the Dongjin Pass, and these tunnels extend in all directions, and it is difficult to count. Together with the ground buildings, they form a three-dimensional Dongjin defense system.
Finally, the magic circles such as the forbidden spirit and the partition weakened the invading demon clan, so that the civilian soldiers also had the opportunity to make contributions.
Through these methods, human beings have built Dongjin Pass into a golden iron wall, so that even if the demon clan breaks through the city wall, it does not mean victory, and there are more fierce and bloody street battles waiting for them.
The War of Cultivation is both different and the same as the War of Mortals.
The difference is the ability. The difference in abilities makes many of the constraints in mortal warfare non-existent for cultivators. For example, due to the geographical advantage, due to the ability to fly, the complex terrain is almost meaningless to cultivators, and instead of it, there is a huge and complex guardian array.
Dongjin Pass itself is a giant city that relies on the protection of the magic array, but this giant city is actually one of the core centers of a larger formation, the Qianluo Devouring Divine Imperial Array. It was this super-large magic circle that replaced the mountains and mountains to stop the invasion of the demon clan, and also made Dongjin Pass a must-attack. In addition to the Tang Tribulation, there are currently sixteen soul cultivators on the front line of Dongjin Pass, most of whom are stationed in other key points centered on Dongjin Pass, constituting a larger and more complex defense system.
It's the same tactics. Whether it is a mortal war or a cultivator's war, the core ideas of fighting more and less, winning mediocrity with elites, winning the greatest victory at the lowest cost, etc., will not change, they are just embodied in different ways.
At this moment, under the leadership of Zhao Qing, he traveled all the way to Dongjin Pass, and Tang Zheng gradually learned a little about the city.
The more you know, the more excited you get!
For Tang Zheng, coming to Dongjin Pass was like coming to the paradise of the formation.
As far as the eye could see, there were flashes of brilliance everywhere. The floor laid on the ground, the beasts carved on the eaves, and the plaques hanging on the gatehouse, each of which may have a deep meaning, and even the layout of the entire city is set up according to the needs of the large array.
Once the demon clan breaks through the city wall and enters the city, then what awaits them is not harvesting, but more terrifying formations and soldiers' strangulation, just like hunters in a hunting cage.
The combination of the formation and nature has reached the peak in Dongjin Pass, the big array sets the small array, the small array combines the big array, the array is combined, the ring is interlocking, every node, every formation, see Tang Zheng completely fascinated.
There are some things he can do, some of which he can't do, and some of them he hasn't even thought of, and after reading them, he suddenly realized that the formation can still be like this.
Such a large and complex circle cannot be completed by one person. The magic circle here has gathered hundreds of the best formation masters of Fengshan Country for thousands of years, and it took a lifetime of hard work to build it, and it has gathered the efforts of countless array masters.
Because of this, for others, Dongjin Pass is a killing battlefield, but for Tang Zheng, it is a paradise for the formation path.
From the first time he saw this place, Tang Zheng liked it here.
In the following days, Tang Zheng was locked up in Dongjin.
Gu Pinzhang arranged a residence for him, which should be free, but General Gu charged him 10,000 spirit money. A house sells for 10,000 spirit money, and the old general is ruthless enough to put away the money.
Tang Zheng didn't care either, and then plunged headlong into the study of this ground formation path. The former Tang Tribulation didn't love the Formation Dao, but the Formation Dao loved him. But as the year passed, in the long-term immersion, Tang Zheng had long loved this way. In order to study the formation path, he even did not hesitate to slow down the infiltration of the demon clan's interior.
The magic circle of Dongjin Pass is vast and complex, vast and boundless, and once Tang Zheng studied it deeply, he was quickly fascinated by it and fell into it. So people often see the figure of Tang Zheng appear in any corner of Dongjin Guancheng, sometimes looking up to the sky and silent, sometimes squatting on the ground to watch the ants, sometimes going crazy in the city to write and scribble, jumping up and down, and even triggering the magic circle, causing the sky to move. Finally, every time I knew the opportunity early, I didn't poke out any big words. After a long time, people gradually knew that this Tang Tribulation was a little neurotic, and over time, some people called him the crazy Tang Tribulation.
There is also no shortage of knowledgeable people who know that Tang Zheng is using Dongjin Pass to study the formation. It's just that they are all curious, aren't all physical cultivation big-chested and brainless? How can they be so obsessed with the Dao?
In addition to studying the formation path, Tang Zheng would also take a little time to enter the Qingyun Gangfeng cultivation every day to polish his body.
The battle in Dongjin City allowed him to obtain a large number of demon corpses, and it was a good time for another round of cultivation. More than four years of continuous entry and exit in and out of the Qingyun Gangfeng layer have greatly increased his stay in the Gangfeng. Although he was not sure that he would be able to break through the Gangfeng layer, it was certain that with the growth of strength, Tang Tribulation was no longer far away from this day.
Today, Tang Zheng finally consumed the demon corpse to the last point, and his resistance to Gangfeng was greatly improved again.
Looking at the sky overhead, Tang Zai muttered to himself, "It's time to give it a try." β
Back then, he was able to enter the Qingyun Realm because he had the support of the Jade Immortal Pavilion and the Mica Essence Gold Battle Armor, but this time, Tang Zheng had to rely on himself to rush through the Qingyun Gangfeng.
The doppelganger is summoned from the social map, and the ontology and the doppelganger have been merged again.
After the combination/body, Tang Zheng not only has the toughness and fortitude of the body, but also brings a bit of elegance and chic of the clone.
Standing under the dome, looking at the green wind above his head, Tang Zheng first smiled, and then flew into the air with all his strength.
It was like a meteor, constantly flying towards the sky, and the cyan wind was half coiled around him like a flame, bringing up a cyan air current. The higher you go, the stronger the wind becomes, full of ruining power.
However, Tang Zheng didn't care at all, just flew up desperately. The wind blew on his face, and the pain was sharp like a knife. But so what? Compared to the first time he entered, every gust of wind swept away a large part of his flesh, and now the damage caused to him by the wind has been greatly reduced. Tang Zheng's powerful ability to restore fΓΉ was constantly recovering damage, and he was fighting to the death against the terrifying Gangfeng.
As Tang Zheng, who has been in and out of Gangfeng countless times, and has already grasped the pulse of Gangfeng, is undoubtedly destined to be the final winner of this fight, although in the process, there was also a little accident, that is, Tang Zheng found that it took him longer to fly away from the Qingyun Realm than to enter the Qingyun Realm, perhaps because the fall is faster than the rise.
This accident made Tang Zheng take nearly a moment longer than planned, but no matter what, he still survived.
At the moment when he broke out of the Gangfeng layer, Tang Zheng returned to the Endless Void again.
Condescendingly looking down at the rolling green clouds below, Tang Zheng laughed loudly: "I succeeded!"
A huge step forward!
From today on, the Qingyun Realm will no longer be its own cage, but will let itself come and go!
