Chapter 389 He is the Cannon Fodder Phoenix Man (29)
"This is... the thing suppressed under the spirit vein? I never thought I would be able to see it with my own eyes in my lifetime. What exactly are they?"
The old man with white hair and beard looked shaky. He supported himself with difficulty and continuously input his spiritual power into the formation.
The entire formation is located in the center of the Yishan Mountain Range. Although the spiritual energy here is rich, it is extremely chaotic and violent. The formation emits a dazzling light. A huge crack has appeared on the ground in the center, and thick black gas is rushing up from it. It seems that a pair of huge claws are grabbing at both ends of the crack, trying to tear the earth apart and crawl out from the ground.
"It's... a demon."
Rong Jue, who was at the center of the formation, closed his eyes and uttered this word.
There were people standing in other directions, and all of them, like the old man, spared no effort to input spiritual power into the formation.
However, their faces were pale and they looked as if they had consumed a lot of energy and their spiritual power was about to be exhausted.
Zhang Zhidao's condition was slightly better. He still had the energy to stare at Rong Jue, "Why don't you do it? You don't want to die, so you deliberately want to release the thing underneath?"
Rong Jue glanced at him calmly, showing no sign of being angered, and said calmly, "It's not the time yet."
It's not the right time for him to take action.
Now as a spiritual being, he is staying at the center of the formation, and has already injected soul into the formation. Together with the seventeen heavenly masters who have come to replenish the formation, the formation is fully operational, and it should only be a matter of time before that thing is suppressed.
It was not yet time for him to sacrifice himself.
He is a spiritual being. He can sense very clearly every movement on the mountain and naturally understand all the details intuitively.
Although loopholes have appeared in other places and some people may lose their lives, it doesn’t matter. As long as this formation closes the passage here, those who slip through the net will also die.
The most important thing is them here.
He couldn't move. The situation inside his body was special. Unless it was absolutely necessary, if he took action, he didn't know whether the channel would be closed or completely opened in the end.
However, Zhang Zhidao stubbornly believed that he was making excuses and was just a selfish villain who was afraid of death.
Zhang Zhidao only learned of this secret not long ago.
Why did Rong Jue of the Rong family display extraordinary abilities since childhood?
It doesn't come from talent or hard work, but because he possesses the spiritual power of the spiritual veins of this world.
Such people are chosen by the spiritual veins. They are born with spiritual roots and even breathing is a form of cultivation.
There is actually no fixed number as to into which family a spirit will be reborn; it all depends on "God's will."
For example, the previous Lingqiao was actually reincarnated in the Zhang family.
That child has shown amazing talent since he was young. Not to mention his peers, even those who are highly respected in the Xuanmen cannot catch up with his strength.
That man was Zhang Zhidao’s nephew, Zhang Shan’s biological father, Zhang Daoyi.
Of course, Zhang Zhidao certainly didn't know about spiritual enlightenment back then. In fact, even Zhang Zhidao had been envious of his nephew's talent more than once, and was even secretly jealous of it.
However, things are unpredictable. For unknown reasons, Zhang Daoyi suddenly went crazy, and then quickly became mediocre. He no longer had the charm of a genius he once had, and became mediocre. It was unknown how disappointed the Zhang family was, and he later disappeared.
During the years when Zhang Daoyi was becoming increasingly mediocre, Rong Jue of the Rong family became famous.
At first, Zhang Zhidao did not understand the connection, but now he understands that the spiritual orifice has changed its owner.
People with spiritual powers will achieve twice the result with half the effort in their practice and reach heights that no one else can reach in their lifetime.
But few people know that for people with spiritual orifices, their bodies and their spiritual power are mutually reinforcing and repelling. The stronger they are, the more severe the "backlash" they will suffer every time they use their spiritual power.
Maybe it’s because the human body is too weak to bear it, so there are such side effects.
People with spiritual powers often do not live long. If they are born in a chaotic and unstable era, they will die earlier.
Therefore, the previous rumors that as the geniuses of the Rong family grow older, they become less likely to take action, because taking action will consume their lifespan, are not groundless.
But there is a top secret that only a few people know.
That is, there is a door leading to another world under the spiritual vein.
And after thousands of years, the formation is no longer as stable as it was at the beginning. This is one point.
A little more spiritual, the alien world at the other end of the spiritual vein should have never stopped its determination to invade for thousands of years, so it has been constantly trying to infiltrate, so that unknowingly, a lot of demonic energy has actually penetrated the big formation silently, little by little, so as not to alarm the big formation too much, but it has invaded little by little, changing the spiritual energy of this central area, and even gradually affecting the spiritual energy of the entire spiritual vein.
Dripping water can wear away a stone.
But even if the people here discovered this, they had no way to make a better remedy.
Thousands of years ago, the alien world invaded and almost succeeded. In order to suppress them, countless talented people in the Xuanmen almost died.
The Xuanmen inheritance was almost cut off.
Later, when it was difficult to continue, too many things had been lost, and no genius like that of that most prosperous era appeared again.
The grand formation that was set up at that time cannot be replicated by anyone now.
Even if the formation could be replicated, there weren't enough Heavenly Masters with the strength to activate it.
Therefore, the only remaining Heavenly Master at the time deduced that the great formation would sooner or later have problems, and could only spend all his efforts recording the remedies. He also proposed the idea of "Mountain Guardian" so that future generations would not forget to pay attention to this matter.
Another spiritual vein seemed to have developed the instinct to save itself, so it separated its spiritual orifice and went into the world to choose a suitable object.
This so-called "suitability" is actually the last trump card when the situation is the worst.
For example, after a thousand years, no one will be able to repair the formation. In order to avoid the tragedy of the passage being opened again and the invasion of the alien world, the spiritual orifice will return to the spiritual vein on its own, not only to fill the gap, but also to directly detonate the entire spiritual vein and directly destroy the passage to the alien world.
But that was the last resort to kill both parties.
Once something like that happens, there will be no more spiritual veins in this world from now on. Within two years, there will be no more spiritual energy in the world, and the Xuanmen sect will be completely cut off from this world.
However, if even human lives cannot be saved, who can still care about whether it is spiritual or not?
Zhang Zhidao believed that the time had come when he had to reveal his trump card.
Look, now the formation is in danger. With just seventeen of them, they can't fill the gaps in the formation at all.
A crack has already been opened in the channel. If we don't make a decision quickly, it will be too late when the channel is fully opened.
He thought that Rong Jue was procrastinating because he didn't want to sacrifice himself and wanted to drag the whole world to die with him.
However, what he didn't know was that his spiritual veins had been infiltrated and polluted by demonic energy, causing his spiritual orifice to change.
The spiritual energy in Rong Jue's body is actually a mixture of spiritual energy and demonic energy.
It was hard to say whether filling the eye of the formation would help the spiritual vein and directly blow down the gate to the other world, or help the demons and completely open the passage.
