Chapter 269 I Meet Baidi, Baidi Meets Me

After more than ten days of exploration, Zhou Tieyi and Xuyu have found at least six weak points in space.

However, the weak points in each space within the soldiers' tomb are extremely peculiar.

That is the weakest point and also the strongest point.

The purpose of combining the soldiers' graves is to seal and suppress existence...

Then a conclusion is naturally derived.

Every weak point in space is caused by the suppressed power leaking out of the soldiers' tomb.

Therefore, even if someone wants to break through the Tomb of Soldiers from its weak point, they will not only be attacked by the power of the Tomb of Soldiers, but also by the suppressed power.

Among the several weak points, one of the places that Zhou Tieyi was most curious about was the weapons field where countless weapons were buried.

According to Huang Yuquan's understanding, the formation of Bingyuan was simply due to the combined effect of the remaining spirituality of the weapons and the evil spirit of the battlefield.

However, based on Zhou Tieyi's exploration over the past ten days, he was very sure that there was a saint-level power within Bingyuan, and the spirituality of the weapons and the evil spirit of the battlefield were just appearances.

In the beginning, based on his 'familiarity' with the Lord of the Blood Sea, he naturally believed that a part of the Lord of the Blood Sea's authority of [weapons] was still sealed here, separated from the authority of [flesh and blood] in the blood lake.

But after careful perception, Zhou Tieyi discovered that there was another force hidden under this force. The two were extremely close, but entangled with each other. This was also the reason why Zhou Tieyi decided to explore here first.

In the underworld, both the sky and the earth appear gray, white and black all year round. All other colors will be quickly corroded in the underworld, just like withered flowers.

Bingyuan is a rare place with its own distinctive color.

This is a stretch of rolling hills, the highest point being no more than ten feet high. On the hills are buried or erected weapons, most of which are in dilapidated condition. The main bodies of these weapons are iron black, but when you look at them, you will see a large area of ​​dark red emerging above the iron color, like a flowing tide, with a bloody smell filling the mouth and nose, as if to completely drown people.

Zhou Tieyi pondered for a moment and then asked, "There are probably millions or even tens of millions of weapons here, right?"

Huang Yuquan led the five hundred most elite Yin soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp and stood beside Zhou Tieyi, explaining with a smile, "My lord, in that great battle, there were millions of weapons lost here..."

Zhou Tieyi nodded slightly. More than 400,000 people died in the war, with millions of participants. However, each person on the battlefield carried more than one weapon. These decisive battles were all elite, so it was normal for each person to carry two or three weapons. Adding the armor on their bodies, each person carried four weapons.

"After that, my Great Xia would continue to collect broken weapons and send them in every year. After three hundred years, there are so many weapons buried that it is impossible to count them. The iron in the Weapon Tomb was produced from this Weapon Field."

The Bingzhong Sunken Iron is the most famous treasure in Bingzhong. Zhou Tieyi's wooden steel dragon pattern spear uses the Bingzhong Sunken Iron.

Before coming to Bingzhong, Zhou Tieyi thought that this was one of the best opportunities in Bingzhong, but after actually seeing Bingzhong, he realized that the true foundation of an empire is far more than that bit of heavy iron.

"Go ahead."

Hearing Zhou Tieyi's order, Huang Yuquan raised the spear in his hand and said, "Arm your troops!"

The yin energy of five hundred elite Yin soldiers formed into a dark cloud. Under the command of Huang Yuquan, they carried Zhou Tieyi, Ya Lao, and A Da into Bingyuan.

The moment they entered Bingyuan, invisible gusts of wind came from all directions, cutting through the dark clouds. Every gust of wind was like a sword slashing down, extremely sharp and impossible to defend against.

When he first entered the Soldiers' Tomb, the mute old man's robe was torn by an invisible force, which was the "wind" blowing from the Soldiers' Tomb. The "wind" here was even stronger, making people feel as if they were really in an invisible battlefield.

Even a mid-level cultivator would not be able to last more than a few sticks of incense in such a battlefield, and if he was not careful, he would most likely be pierced through. Some weapons of the top three-level cultivators were buried here.

The dark clouds formed by the Yin soldiers led by Huang Yuquan seemed weak, but in the wind and waves of these weapons, they were like a thick wall, completely blocking the strong winds outside.

Although the dark clouds were constantly torn apart, they were quickly repaired and Zhou Tieyi continued to move forward at an extremely fast speed.

While letting Xuyu sense the direction, Zhou Tieyi asked curiously, "How do other people come in to dig the sunken iron?"

The power shown by Bing Yuan at the moment can almost be called a desperate situation. Daxia rewards meritorious soldiers, and not everyone has the cards to show for themselves. What about other people, such as the small flags of the Zhushen Division. If the general flags come in, will these unruly ghost soldiers protect them?

Huang Yuquan explained, "When the Soldier's Tomb is opened, His Majesty will be like the sun and the moon in the sky, suppressing all the dangerous places, reducing most of the dangers in the Soldier's Tomb. In the past, those who came in were all military personnel, our own people. When we, the Yin soldiers, see that it is our own troops who come in to claim the reward, we will help them a little. Of course, if it is someone from another family, then we will naturally not move."

Legal principles are nothing more than human feelings.

Zhou Tieyi sighed silently.

The virtual fish swam in front of the dark clouds. Not only did it not bring everyone to the weak point of the Bingyuan gale, but it seemed to be chasing something moving. At the same time, the invisible Bingyuan gale became stronger and stronger, so that the 500 Yin soldiers led by Huang Yuquan gradually felt a little tired.

At this time, the mute old man who had returned to his original appearance and had been silent all of a sudden said to Zhou Tieyi, "It's already the strength of the upper third rank."

Does Old Ya mean that he needs to take action?
Zhou Tieyi's [real vision] covered the surroundings and he shook his head slightly.

Suddenly, a tornado that penetrated the sky and the earth appeared in front of everyone. This tornado was the embodiment of the Bingyuan gale. It was an ominous blood-red color, and it rolled up gray-white sand. One could vaguely see weapons circling and dancing in the gale.

The dark cloud barrier formed by the ghost soldiers spread out backwards in the shape of fish scales, and the 'Wanjie Ningbingsha' that had been pushed away also began to infiltrate into the army formation.

The ghost soldiers have no physical bodies, so their reactions are not that quick.

But Ada and the other four were living people, and the blood flowing in their bodies was the best nourishment for the 'Wanjie Ningbingsha'. Even if they only inhaled a little bit of the 'Wanjie Ningbingsha', they could feel some kind of 'crystal threads' growing in their blood. These crystal threads quickly gathered together, and in just a dozen breaths, they formed clusters of rust-red crystals, which seemed to grow out of the blood and penetrated into their flesh and blood, causing their bodies to decay and become brittle quickly, until they were completely condensed into a red rust iron man.

"Flesh and blood are the core. The five elements can rotate. Carefully feel this power and master this power."

Zhou Tieyi whispered a reminder to Ada and the other four, but did not directly help.

After getting Zhou Tieyi's reminder, Ada and the other four quickly found the right direction. They also had the Blood God Son in their bodies, and their flesh and blood had undergone a certain degree of alienation. They could control their own blood better than martial arts practitioners of the same level and repel the erosion of their blood by alien forces.

During this process, they suddenly discovered that this alien power 'Wanjie Ningbingsha' seemed to be of the same origin as the blood-colored lotus in their bodies.

Although he cannot directly control the forces that invade from the outside, the crystal rust that grows with his own blood can be influenced by the alien lotus, so he can slowly try to master it.

However, if one wants to control more crystal rust, he must let the 'Wanjie Ningbingsha' erode more blood.

But they are living people. When the 'Wanjie Ningbingsha' began to erode, their vitality began to weaken, and even their souls were affected, and their thinking began to slow down.

It's like walking a tightrope on a cliff. If you're not careful, you'll fall off the cliff.

But another reminder given by Zhou Tieyi became the key.

The blood and energy of Ada and the other five people were connected as one. Even without Zhou Tieyi as the core this time, the spirits of the five people who had cooperated countless times were instantly united to form a blood-colored canopy, in which there was a faint five-colored precious light. In the precious light, the five beasts Bi'an, Suanni, Chiwen, Fuxi, and Yazi appeared.

The Yin soldiers' army formation, which had already been affected, was immediately scattered by the internal impact. More 'Wanjie Ningbingsha' poured in, and even sharp winds of war seeped in and began to cut the flesh and souls.

Tiny wounds appeared on the bodies of Ada and the other four men, and the souls of the ghost soldiers around them also began to disperse.

"stop!"

Zhou Tieyi shouted in a low voice, and the entire army formation quickly stopped under Huang Yuquan's command. They did not chase after the bloody tornado, and the surrounding 'Wanjie Ningbingsha' and military wind naturally weakened.

The dark clouds rebuilt the city wall, but the wall was filled with dazzling blood and the five-colored light in the blood.

Many ghost soldiers couldn't help but glance at Ada and his four companions.

Even though they knew that this was their family, the four Ah Das were too tempted. It was like a table of top-notch food placed in front of a group of starving ghosts. The fact that they did not rush in was a testament to Huang Yuquan's strict discipline. After all, a feast of flesh and blood placed in front of a group of ghosts who had not enjoyed a good meal for more than 20 years was a great temptation.

Especially when their negative energy enveloped Ada and the other four, it was like a delicious meal was being served to them.

It can even be said that the little bit of blood seeping out of Ada and the other four was like "oil beads" rolling around the ghost soldiers' mouths.

"This is the real 'Brother, you smell so good'!"

Zhou Tieyi thought with a smile.

And Ada and his five companions had no idea how popular they were in the eyes of their companions. After forming the Five Elements Army Formation, Wang Ba, who had the Metal Element's blood essence, further weakened the metalization of his own flesh and blood.

Through the theory of mutual generation and mutual restraint of the Five Elements military formation, Ada and the other four gradually weakened the metalization of their flesh and blood. At the same time, the military formation gave them stronger power, allowing the five of them to become a whole, far surpassing the average sixth-grade martial arts practitioners, and having enough power to begin to tame the 'Wanjie Ningbingsha' that had entered their bodies.

However, in this process, they suddenly felt that the evil spirits from the outside invading their bodies were rapidly decreasing, and at the same time, the military formation formed by the ghost soldiers was like a dark cloud pressing on their minds.

Seeing that the five men already had the basic ability to control the soldiers' evil spirits, Zhou Tieyi smiled and said to Huang Yuquan, "Release the military formation and let the five of them stay outside."

Huang Yuquan immediately released the five people from the military formation.

Without the protection of the Yin soldiers, on the one hand, evil spirits began to invade again, causing Ada and the other four to speed up their refining of the Qi. On the other hand, the gusts of wind from the soldiers cut into their flesh and devoured their souls, quickly consuming their energy and spirit, putting them in constant danger, forcing them to speed up their comprehension of the Five Elements military formation.

During this process, the five dragon sons became clearer and clearer, and their faces changed a little bit, as if they began to look somewhat similar to Ada and the other four.

The seven martial arts spirits cultivate spirits, implant the essence and blood of alien species into the body, thereby gaining innate power and transcending the physical limits of humans.

However, the essence and blood of alien species contain the essence of other people. Although it is not absorbed in a disorderly manner like evil spirits and evil gods, it will directly lead to an irreversible state.

But it will also affect the martial arts practitioners themselves, which is another reason why martial artists are prone to madness.

Therefore, the core of the seventh-grade martial arts practice is to allow one's body to gradually adapt to one's talents, and on the other hand to use one's own martial arts to erase the spirits of others in one's blood and essence, and finally to completely control it in one's own hands. This is considered to complete the entire practice of the spirit.

The more powerful the blood essence, the more difficult it is to erase the spirit and the more difficult it is to control.

Zhou Tieyi looked at Ada and the other five with satisfaction, and asked Huang Yuquan beside him with a smile, "How is the training of my soldiers going?"

Huang Yuquan took another look at A Da and the other five. He could naturally see the potential of A Da and the other five. It was no exaggeration to say that the potential of A Da and the other five was much higher than his own at the beginning.

Originally, he proposed the 'Wanjie Ningbingsha' to Zhou Tieyi, actually he wanted to exchange quantity for quality, sacrificing some outstanding personal guards, so as to screen out the most top-level talented people and enable them to condense the Gang smoothly, but the quality of Zhou Tieyi's personal guards far exceeded Huang Yuquan's previous imagination.

Huang Yuquan exclaimed, "Naturally it is the best."

Zhou Tieyi laughed loudly, then took out a hundred flesh and blood fruits from the white jade chessboard, "Eat one for every five people, and rest where you are!"

The fruit that contained abundant blood energy immediately attracted the attention of the ghost soldiers. They clasped their fists and said, "Thank you, young master."

The ghost soldiers formed groups of ten and began to enjoy the rare blood food. After sucking it up one by one, not only did they make up for their previous consumption, but their faces even showed the red glow of living people.

However, many of the ghost soldiers couldn't help but look at Ada and his five companions while eating the fruit. They were the ghost soldiers who had stood close to them just now, so they absorbed some of the blood and energy emitted by Ada and his five companions.

That smells so good!

While his men were resting, Zhou Tieyi also began to think about the tornado just now.

"What is that red tornado?"

Huang Yuquan saw Zhou Tieyi asking about serious matters, and immediately replied in a deep voice, "We call it the 'Soldier Tornado'. This is a manifestation of the enrichment of the ancestral qi of heaven and earth in the Weapon Origin. It is extremely destructive and stronger than ordinary third-grade practitioners. In the Weapon Tomb, everyone has no flesh and blood, so their strength is limited to below the third grade. If they encounter a 'Soldier Tornado', they will directly avoid it..."

This was everyone's normal thinking in the past. Huang Yuquan glanced at Xu Yu who was leading everyone here and asked, "Lord, do you think there is something hidden in the 'Soldier Tornado'?"

Zhou Tieyi nodded, then looked at Xuyu and asked, "Can you enter the 'Soldier Tornado'?"

Xu Yu's voice was childish, "Father God, with the help of the tiger talisman in your hand, I can open the passage. Otherwise, the moment we enter, we will be crushed by the extremely powerful force."

After receiving a positive answer from Xuyu, Zhou Tieyi took out the tiger talisman and rubbed it in his palm.

After about an hour, Ada and his four men were almost like being tortured to death. Even with the resistance of the Five Elements Army Formation, they were constantly cut by the wind and were like fish on a chopping board. Hundreds of wounds covered their bodies, some light and some heavy.

If this kind of injury happened to other seventh-grade warriors, they would have died long ago. However, not a drop of blood seeped out of the wounds of Ada and the other four. Instead, the wounds continued to heal. In this process of damage and repair, the five people's [Arhat Golden Body] quickly completed the second stage of practice.

Everyone's skin was light gold, covering the entire body without any holes. The whole person looked like a copper cast that had been hammered thousands of times.

However, the blood energy above their heads was so thin that there was only a layer, and they were about to fall into a dilemma.

Zhou Tieyi nodded slightly when he saw this scene, "Okay, too much is as bad as too little."

His vast blood energy directly connected to Ada and the other five, took over the control of the Five Elements Army Formation, resisted the erosion of the 'Wanjie Ningbingsha', and awakened the minds of Ada and the other five.

Ah Da used his own blood lotus to carefully contain the already refined 'Wanjie Ningbingsha', and then followed the guidance of Zhou Tieyi's five elements power to expel the 'Wanjie Ningbingsha' that had not been refined and mastered in his body.

After waking up, the smile on Ah Da's face could not stop fading away. Just this one practice was equivalent to several months of hard work, not to mention the gain of top-level internal energy such as 'Wanjie Ningbingsha'.

"Thank you, Master."

Zhou Tieyi looked at Ada and the other four and smiled with satisfaction. Although 'Wanjie Ningbingsha' was a kind of top-level Gangqi, just like 'Zixiao Lei Ting', it was not suitable for his own path. After practicing till now, Zhou Tieyi also gradually became clear about his own path.

My talent does allow me to master almost every kind of power I see, but there is no need for me to practice every kind of power myself. That would be a waste of time. I can completely master these powers through my hands.

While ensuring one's own purity, one must prevent oneself from acquiring too many types of power, thereby staving off self-contradiction and internal friction.

"continue."

Zhou Tieyi gave the order, and the rested ghost soldiers once again raised up dark clouds. With Xu Yu's guidance, they quickly caught up with the blood-red tornado that had been wandering aimlessly in the Bingyuan.

This time Huang Yuquan used all his strength, and the dark clouds completely condensed into a huge white tiger military soul hundreds of feet long, roaring and rushing towards the bloody tornado. The weapons swept in the tornado seemed to be provoked, and this time it was no longer just to inspire the military wind, but to combine with the power of this world, turning into a rain of weapons that covered the sky and the sun.

Every flying weapon was like a raindrop, but also contained a ray of extremely sharp power that could kill a third-grade cultivator.

Zhou Tieyi held the tiger talisman in his hand, and a half-real and half-virtual statue of the White Emperor appeared behind him. His mind was connected to the rules of this world. In an instant, the tiger talisman glowed and blended with the core rules of this world. The rain of weapons that were rushing towards him paused, as if wondering whether the other party was "one of their own".

Xu Yu took the opportunity to drill into a weak spot in the space, just like lifting up a corner of a bloody tornado.

Huang Yuquan controlled the White Tiger Military Soul and followed Xu Yu, leaping forward, and the violent storm outside dissipated.

In the center of the windless world, a skeleton was sitting alone, wearing a white robe with twelve chapters painted on it.

Zhou Tieyi looked at the skeleton, and part of the confusion in his heart was solved. He sighed and said, "White Emperor."

For a moment, the internal and external rules merged, and dragon seals fell along the tiger talisman. The statue of the White Emperor behind him was completely solidified, holding a sword, wearing a royal robe with twelve seals.
