Chapter 125 Medicine King Valley (3)
Zhao Hui led the three of them all the way towards the edge. The further they walked, the thinner the spiritual energy became, which felt like going against the trend.
Tian Yiyi was more impatient, so she asked Zhao Hui directly, "Fellow Daoist Zhao, Yaowang Valley wouldn't plant spiritual herbs in a remote place with thin spiritual energy, right? Could you have seen it wrong?"
Zhao Hui was not annoyed when he heard this, and explained kindly, "Friend Tian, please be patient. An elder in my clan was seriously injured and had no choice but to flee to a remote place. It was because of this that he got this opportunity.
My elders once accidentally caught a glimpse of the scene inside the formation. There were countless natural treasures inside, and they could even vaguely see some thousand-year-old elixirs growing in it.
But he was not good at formations, and the formation was quite strange. The talismans he brought with him had been used up in the previous formation, so he could only sigh in despair.
"That's strange," Cheng Shuyan wondered. "If that's the case, why didn't Fellow Daoist Zhao invite close friends to come along? We haven't met before, so how can we be sure we can help him break the formation?"
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Cheng is indeed thoughtful. I have other reasons for inviting the three of you.
For us casual cultivators, getting a Medicine King Token is harder than ascending to heaven. I even spent all my family wealth to get this one, so how can I find a good friend to join me? "
He turned his gaze to Gu Qingzhou and continued:
"Not long after the Bluestone City Beast Tide, I went to Bluestone City and was fortunate enough to witness the exquisite craftsmanship of the Blue Jade Token. After much inquiry, I learned about Fellow Daoist Gu.
At that time, I had seen Daoist Gu from afar and knew that he had also obtained the Medicine King Order, so I thought of coming in to try my luck. I didn’t expect that I would actually meet Daoist Gu!
It turns out that they were coming for Gu Qingzhou!
Gu Qingzhou had indeed become quite famous in Qingshi City back then, so it wasn't surprising that he was recognized by someone.
A few people changed the topic and started talking about other things.
Nine days later, they finally arrived at the place Zhao Hui mentioned.
This place is desolate and silent, and the spiritual energy is almost undetectable. No one can believe that there is such a desolate place in the secret realm of Medicine King Valley. It doesn't look like there is a spiritual field at all.
Zhao Hui sat on the ground holding a compass. He cut his finger and dripped a few drops of blood into the compass. The compass suddenly began to buzz in his hand.
At the same time, not far ahead of them, a flash of inspiration appeared, echoing the compass in his hand.
Zhao Hui's eyebrows lit up with joy, and he excitedly said to Gu Qingzhou, "Hahaha, this is it! Fellow Daoist Gu, I'll have to trouble you from now on!"
Gu Qingzhou looked around and said hesitantly, "The formation here seems to be quite sophisticated. I haven't found any trace of it yet, so I can only try my best."
After saying that, Gu Qingzhou took out a palm-sized array plate. Under his manipulation, the array plate projected a huge starry sky shadow from the air.
He sat cross-legged on the ground, glanced at Cheng Shuyan and Tian Yiyi, and closed his eyes.
After a brief adjustment, when he opened his eyes again, he was completely different from the usual Gu Qingzhou!
All he could see was the shadow of the starry sky above his head. His expression was focused, and his whole body became light, as if he had merged into one with the world.
He waved his hands quickly, and with every movement, a star in the starry sky would change its position according to his movements.
Tian Yiyi was already stunned. This Gu Qingzhou was completely different from the introverted and dull Gu Qingzhou she knew in her daily life.
Cheng Shuyan was also shocked!
She had heard such a scene described by Master Wuwei when she was practicing formation with him.
The world is my formation, and I have my own way to play the chess pieces!
I knew before that Gu Qingzhou had inherited the legacy from a senior formation master, but I never expected that he would inherit such an extraordinary legacy!
"Using the heavens and the earth as a chessboard, and the stars as chess pieces! Could he, he, he, be the heir of the legendary supreme master of formations?!!"
Zhao Hui's shocked words broke the silence among the three people, and he immediately revealed the extraordinary inheritance that Gu Qingzhou had obtained.
The supreme master of formation.
So far, there has only been one powerful being in the Thousand Spirit Realm who can bear such a great reputation, and since him, there has been no one else.
After that discovery ten thousand years ago, the path to ascension in the Thousand Spirit Realm was cut off, and the entire Thousand Spirit Realm fell into despair.
At this moment, a genius in formation suddenly appeared.
He was only at the Spiritual Transformation stage at the time, but he single-handedly stabilized the originally broken ascension passage and prevented it from collapsing further.
Later, as his cultivation level grew, his formation skills became more and more sophisticated.
After his cultivation reached its peak, he created this formation that used heaven and earth as its formation, in order to fight against the heavens and use the power of the formation to break through the ascension channel.
Unfortunately, he failed in the end. Not long after entering the ascension channel, the soul lamp he left behind went out.
He spent his entire life studying the art of formations, and in his later years focused on studying the path to ascension. He had no disciples or successors.
His death cut off the inheritance and became a great regret for the Thousand Spirit Realm.
Unexpectedly, Gu Qingzhou, who is suspected to be the successor of that powerful person, has appeared now.
The three of them didn't dare to imagine the various situations Gu Qingzhou would face if this news got out, and how many people would covet him.
Almost instantly, Tian Yiyi and the other person figured it out. Without hesitation, they each took out their magic weapons and quickly moved their bodies apart, one in front and one behind, to surround Zhao Hui in the middle.
Zhao Hui naturally understood what the two were thinking, and his expression became serious: "My two fellow Taoists, please don't act rashly. This matter is not beyond discussion!
I understand how important Fellow Daoist Gu's matter is. Since I have chosen to join forces with the three of you, I will never do anything so treacherous."
Seeing that Cheng Shuyan and Tian Yiyi were still on guard, he simply used blood as a medium to draw the oath seal.
"I, Zhao Hui, swear to the Heavens that if I reveal even a little bit of information about Gu Qingzhou, I will be plagued by demons and die!"
As the oath was completed, a muffled thunder sounded in the air, and the oath seal suddenly burst out with a dazzling light, and then dissipated into nothingness.
This is Heaven’s fulfillment of the oath.
Cheng Shuyan and the other man then put away their magic weapons and apologized to Zhao Hui.
"I'm sorry, Fellow Daoist Zhao, we both had no choice but to do this. I hope you can forgive me."
The most important thing for a cultivator is the oath sworn to heaven.
The way of heaven is unkind and regards all things as stupid dogs.
As long as a cultivator swears an oath to the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao will treat everyone equally. If anyone dares to break the oath, he will be retaliated by the oath.
Zhao Hui made this oath, which was extremely cruel, and he dared not break it.
The noise here is too loud and it is bound to attract attention. Gu Qingzhou is immersed in the formation at the moment. If he is awakened rashly, he may be attacked by the formation.
Cheng Shuyan took out the concealment formation and set it up. After completely concealing the surroundings, he still felt it was not enough, so he took out the Thousand Shadows Mystery Formation and set it up inside the concealment formation. Only then did he feel a little more at ease.
