"boom--"

On the east wall of the magnificent ancient city, brilliant divine patterns lit up, and a man dressed as a Taoist priest followed closely, being blown away by the power emanating from the wall.

The Taoist's face looked older, and at first glance he looked like a middle-aged man. In this world of cultivation that has the means to achieve immortality, his face was quite rare.

His hair was not tied up with a Taoist cap, but was left to hang loose. His eyebrows stood up straight and his sharp eyes gave people a sense of majesty without even being angry. The most impressive thing was the two wisps of beard on his lips that hung down to his chest, which looked like the beard of a silver carp.

Wearing a black and white robe, people feel that he is not a Taoist priest, but a member of an evil sect.

"Damn it!"

"After countless years and changes, the defense battle of this ancient city is still so terrifying." The Taoist showed shock on his face.

After the Taoist priest was blown away by the city wall, he crashed straight into the barracks.

There are barracks not far from the inner city wall, which are specially used as a resting place for soldiers patrolling and guarding the city.

Seeing that his face was about to hit the barracks, he quickly took a deep breath to control his body. He didn't want to hit the wall of the barracks.

Before the Taoist tested the city wall, he had already checked the strength of the buildings in the city and knew that there was also a protective formation on top of the barracks.

But when he mobilized the magic power in his body, he was shocked to find that the magic power was completely out of control.

"Oh no! The ancient city's protective formation has temporarily sealed my cultivation."

"what--"

He slammed headfirst into the wall of the barracks, spitting out a large mouthful of bright red blood on the spot. Before he could catch his breath, brilliant divine patterns lit up on the wall, which blew him away again, leaving him in an extremely miserable state.

but,

The divine patterns on the walls of the barracks are obviously not as powerful as the divine patterns on the walls of the ancient city.

"Cough cough cough!!"

After a while,

The Taoist slowly got up, and there were some complicated patterns on his face, which were obviously burned by the magic circle on the city wall.

"Asshole! The ancient gods of this world are really..."

"Really..." The Taoist couldn't help but get furious when he saw his beard was burnt off.

The Taoist priest is none other than Shan Yuan, the eldest brother of this generation’s Changsheng Temple, which is the origin of the extraterritorial power.

After he entered the ancient city, he felt uneasy about the unexpected situation, so he told himself the fortune.

Bad sign!
Therefore, Shanyuan thought about leaving the ancient city.

According to his original plan, he could climb up to the city wall through the gate tower and then leave from above.

There is no shortage of such extraordinary ancient cities in the Cangqing world.

Although they all have city defense formations, no force will keep them open all the time.

The city defense formation requires the consumption of resources.

Therefore, the city defense army came into being to maintain the normal stability of the city.

The city defense army can also be said to be a human alarm.

As long as a city defense soldier dies, the city defense formation will immediately sense it and automatically activate to defend against the enemy.

Shanyuan did not find any signs of life in the city, so he boldly stepped onto the city wall to explore.

"It seems! It's not so easy to leave here." Shan Yuan sighed solemnly, his eyes looking towards the ancient city.

The sky was covered with dark clouds and thunder and lightning roared continuously.

The ancient city was shrouded in a blood-red rain curtain, giving it a completely hellish feel.

"Um???"

Shanyuan noticed a tall statue.

The statue is located at the east-west corner of the ancient city. Its height far exceeds the city wall, and from a distance it looks like a pillar on the horizon.

Then Shanyuan looked around and found that not only were there statues at the four corners of the outer city wall, but there were also statues at the four corners of the central royal city, and there was also a statue in the center of the royal city.

"This statue... is the core of the formation."

Then Shanyuan decided to go and take a look, but after walking for a distance, he looked up at the sky.

"Let's find a place to avoid the rain first!"

"The effect of this rain corroding mana is too great."

···············
Two men in elegant attire sat on the steps of a shop with its door closed, taking shelter from the rain under the eaves of the shop.

They all exuded an air of nobility and the aura of superiors, but their faces were extremely pale and their breath was a little weak.

Both of them were looking in the same direction, and after a while, they looked at each other.

"Have you thought of it?"

"Have you thought of it too?"

"I don't know if what I thought of is the same as what you thought of. You speak first."

"If you don't tell me, how do I know that what you think is different from what I think?"

"You should speak first!"

……

"Okay! Let's talk together." The endless tug of war ended only when the noble young man in the black python robe raised his hand to interrupt.

"Hit the eyes."

"The statue is a treasure."

After they looked into each other's eyes and reminisced about the past, they burst out laughing at the same time.

The two of them were none other than the surviving princes Xuan Yi and Long Xi of Yan and Qing kingdoms.

"You and I suffered the most serious losses in this battle. If there were no special opportunity, our fate would be basically determined." Xuan Yi said in a heavy tone.

Long Xi nodded and said, "Indeed! Although the dead monk and his men have also fallen three realms, the main combat power of the two of us still depends on the number of troops under our command.

In the battle with Tiandao, our troops suffered heavy casualties. If a real fight breaks out, you and I will definitely be at the bottom."

Xuan Yi said: "So if we want to change our current embarrassing situation, we must get the treasure in the eye of the city defense formation."

The statues on the four corners of the outer city are the strongest points of defense and attack of the city defense formation, but the strongest point is often also the biggest weakness.

The four statues are equivalent to four wizard towers, resisting enemy invasions and internal rebellions.

The four statues serve as both wizard towers and the core of the city defense formation.

To become the center of the formation, a valuable treasure must be buried inside to maintain the operation of the formation.

The two of them planned to take out this precious treasure to protect their own safety.

The two quickly planned how to get to the statue in the north.

They have great chemistry!

They were all extremely enthusiastic in making plans and discussing how to deal with dangers along the way.

They tacitly did not discuss how to distribute the spoils after the victory.

·······
In the empty room, two young women sat opposite each other.

"Where is this place?"

"I don't know either. It might be an ancient city left over from ancient times!"

"Dad! When will you wake up?"

"I don't know! Zhu'er, don't think too much, just concentrate on digesting the rules you have obtained."

The two people who spoke were Zhao Yun and Zhu'er. After the Dao Flower appeared, Wang Ming and Zhao Yun went to collect the fruits of victory.

In order to conceal her position, Zhao Yun did not drive the chariot forward, but she could not abandon the chariot, let alone Zhu'er and Han Batian who were unconscious in the chariot.

Fortunately, the bronze chariot has the ability to shrink and expand, and was able to accommodate Zhu'er and the others.

With Zhu'er and Han Batian by his side, Zhao Yun had no worries and was more focused on his work.

Not long ago, Zhao Yun sensed strange fluctuations coming from the chariot. Upon checking, he found that Zhu'er had woken up.

Zhu'er was used as a container by the unscrupulous Shuiyue Tiandao.

With the flesh of Zhu'er, Yin Tianxue and others, it carries the laws of heaven and earth, so that it can further integrate the laws in the future.

unfortunately,

It was scheming and calculating, but it didn't realize that all its hard work would only end up helping others.

A total of 7 laws were extracted, five of which were taken by Wang Ming, and the remaining two were still in Zhu'er and Han Batian's bodies.

Zhu'er and other law containers were in a coma throughout the whole process.

in fact,

The coma state is a special provision of the law.

It is the law that instills the principles of the great way into Zhu'er and the others.

Zhu'er was innocent, romantic, pure and kind without much utilitarianism, so she was not obsessed with power. So in the dream of understanding the law, she woke up early.

Now that she was awake, Zhao Yun didn't want to push Zhu'er back, so he let her continue to comprehend the laws.

"Sister Yun!"

"Don't worry! I'm very strong now and can protect myself." Zhu'er assured confidently.

Zhao Yun looked at Zhu'er speechlessly. They had a battle before coming here. Zhu'er's strength was enough and she barely reached the first level of the Divine Realm.

but,

Because of her state of mind, she was simply unable to perfectly control this power.

"never mind!"

"If you don't want to continue your seclusion, then don't do it." Zhao Yun shook his head and sighed.

Zhu Er was delighted when she heard this: "That's great, Sister Yun, don't worry! I will definitely not run around and cause you trouble."

Zhao Yun, with a helpless look on his face, shook his head and said, "You are not a reckless person like Doudou, so I am not worried that you will get into trouble."

"But in this world, it's often not you who go looking for trouble with others, but others who come to you on their own initiative."

"Since you don't want to go back, then be alert."

Zhu'er knew that the world was a dangerous place. After all, she used to be a street beggar.

In her opinion, there are evil people in this world, but there are also good people, and there are always more good people than bad people.

"Since you are unwilling to practice in seclusion, then you should keep watch while I am in seclusion and pay attention to the surrounding situation."

After saying this, Zhao Yun looked at everything inside the room, then waved his hand and the wooden door of the room closed, making the room a secret room.

"It's a pity that I haven't learned the barriers and formations, otherwise I would have to set up a protective net right now." Zhao Yun shook his head, put aside all distracting thoughts, and took out three golden [Dao Flowers].

"The ancient city is full of twists and turns, and no one knows what is hidden here."

"I shouldn't let them lead me by the nose."

"It doesn't matter how many times we fight, as long as we win the last battle." Zhao Yun looked at the [Dao Flower] on her palm. She decided to use one at this moment. She originally planned to use it together with Wang Ming.

But the ancient city was too big, and they couldn't fly, so they could only walk there step by step, making it very difficult to find people.

Also because of the special force field, the connection between Wang Ming and Zhao Yun was forcibly cut off.

"Sister Yun!"

"Are you planning to practice?"

"Let's not go into such a dangerous ancient city!" Zhu'er advised.

Zhao Yun shook his head: "It is precisely because of the danger that we need to improve our strength."

In Zhao Yun's opinion, she now possesses three [Dao Flowers], which are invaluable treasures.

If you were surrounded and defeated by the enemy's trap while exploring the ancient city, and the enemy found the [Daohua], you would be so angry that you would vomit blood.

Zhao Yun looked at the three [Dao Flowers] in her hand, put away two of them, and then used the [Dao Flowers] directly in front of Zhu'er.

Zhu'er is kind by nature and will not have any inappropriate thoughts after seeing the [Daohua], even if human nature is ugly.

Because Zhu'er has absorbed the power of the laws, she doesn't need Dao Flowers to improve her strength.

Soon after taking the [Daohua], Zhao Yun fell into a state of meditation. Pure and huge energy flowed through Zhao Yun's eight extraordinary meridians.

Zhao Yun's realm began to continuously improve.

·············
In the sealed attic,
A black halberd was suspended in the air, and an energy film-like barrier was attached to the four walls of the room.

Wang Ming, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, slowly opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

"It's not easy!"

"This law of thunder is truly overbearing!"

"It nearly destroyed my body."

“It seems that it is too difficult to integrate the laws at the first level of the Divine Realm.” Wang Ming sighed deeply.

Just now he successfully integrated the Law of Thunder into himself.

Wang Ming's fusion is different from that of Zhu'er and others.

What Zhu'er and the others call fusion is actually the preservation of the laws in the physical body.

Wang Ming's fusion is the true control of the [Law of Thunder].

He had once comprehended the [Law of Thunder], but it was lost due to his cultivation, but his understanding did not disappear.

When Wang Ming encountered the ownerless [Law of Thunder], he was naturally able to integrate it into his body smoothly.

At this time, Wang Ming's cultivation was still at the first level of the Divine Realm, with not much change, but Wang Ming's combat power was improved.

Even if he was a cultivator at the fifth level of the Divine Realm, he was not afraid in front of Wang Ming.

Wang Ming looked at the remaining four laws in his hand and fell into deep thought. As he looked at the four laws, the fluctuations emanating from them had an unclear and inexplicable sense of incongruity.

Only [Thunder Law] seems to make Wang Ming feel most comfortable.

Just at this time,

A huge roar came from outside, interrupting Wang Ming's thoughts.

"Who took action in the ancient city?"

"Such courage!"

“I’m not afraid of accidentally triggering the magic circle and being cleared away like garbage by the formation.” Wang Ming said to himself with a look of surprise.

He listened to the area where the sound came from, and it was not far from where Wang Ming was.

"Do you want to go to the scene and watch the show?" Wang Ming thought about it.

Wang Ming immediately abandoned this unreliable idea.

Then Wang Ming turned on the [All-Seeing Eye] and tried to watch the live broadcast remotely.

Wang Ming's all-seeing eyes have no obstruction outside the city, but when he looks into the inner city, he is blocked by the city wall. (End of this chapter)
