Chapter 247 Five Stone Platforms
Once the "Cloud-Piercing Arrow" is launched, it can form certain patterns or words in the sky.
Moreover, it can last for one to two hours before dissipating, which is enough time for the surrounding cultivators to accurately determine the direction based on the signal of the "Cloud Piercing Arrow".
For a moment, monks who could see the signal within a radius of dozens of kilometers rushed from all directions to the central area where the "Cloud Piercing Arrow" signal was transmitted.
By chance, Lu Chen met the lively and lovely Song Wanting. Because of his affection for the girl, the two of them traveled together.
Fortunately, the two did not encounter any powerful monsters along the way, even if they were occasionally attacked by some monsters comparable to those in the great perfection of the fusion period.
With Lu Chen around, she could deal with the situation calmly, which made Song Wanting feel very safe. At the same time, she was amazed at Lu Chen's strong strength.
In her family, there has never been a member in the early stage of fusion who could fight across a large level.
If he encountered spiritual herbs or other cultivation resources during this period, Lu Chen would take the initiative to share half with Song Wanting.
This made Song Wanting's liking for Lu Chen greatly increase, and she even called him "Brother Lu" in a particularly affectionate manner.
More than an hour later, the two flew out of the forest on their swords.
There was an open area ahead. As far as the eye could see, there were towering mountains, surrounded by clouds and mist.
High in the sky, two light red characters "Seven Sects" were floating, very eye-catching.
But judging from the color, it is obviously much lighter than before. It seems that it won’t be long before these two words disappear.
At this time, one could see many monks flying on their swords, quickly heading down the mountain. However, these monks all had one thing in common: they did not fly very high.
As Lu Chen and Song Wanting approached the foot of the mountain, they heard a bustling noise. Looking around, they saw about five or six hundred cultivators gathered on the flat area at the foot of the mountain.
Some were in groups of three or two, some in groups of seven or five, and of course there were also lone rangers.
Dozens of cultivators formed seven small groups. Needless to say, one could guess that they were from the seven major sects.
Especially the Jade Maiden Palace, which is full of female cultivators, each of them is as beautiful as a fairy, forming a beautiful landscape among the crowd.
They were all talking and discussing, as if waiting for something to happen.
From time to time, laughter and joy could be heard, and the scene was as lively as a party.
Lu Chen and Song Wanting are both at the initial stage of fusion cultivation. Among this group of people, they are basically at the bottom.
So their arrival did not attract the attention of the crowd.
"Brother Lu!" Song Wanting unconsciously leaned towards Lu Chen, grabbed Lu Chen's arm with both hands, and said with a look of horror on her face.
As soon as the two landed, Song Wanting saw an open space the size of a basketball court in the middle of the venue that had been left empty by everyone.
There were five bodies with extremely tragic deaths, lying on the ground in all directions with no one to deal with them.
Many of them had their bodies torn apart and died with their eyes open, while others were cut in half with their intestines and blood spilling all over the ground. The scene was quite horrifying.
Seeing this, Lu Chen frowned slightly, feeling nauseous and almost vomited out the grilled steak he had eaten.
I thought to myself that a life-and-death fight between monks must have taken place here not long ago.
But even if it is a battle between monks, if they kill the opponent, they should at least use fireball to deal with the corpse!
This group of people were actually still chatting and laughing nearby. How callous, heartless, sad and lamentable.
At this time, a man who was over eight feet tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, handsome and elegant, white face without beard, broad face and heavy chin, and sharp eyes,
The young monk, who gave people an awe-inspiring feeling, stood in the air with his sword, overlooking all the monks present.
He just coughed lightly, and the sound spread out in all directions like a huge bell, mixed with the faint pressure of the early stage of Jindan cultivation.
This caused all the monks present to fall silent and they all looked towards him.
The man seemed very satisfied with his ability to control the situation, and then said with a smile:
"Hehehe... Fellow Taoists! I am Xiahou Sheng from the Tianyan Sect. This cloud-piercing arrow was shot by me..."
"Xiahou Sheng! I didn't expect that he was actually Xiahou Sheng, who was in the early stage of Tianyan Sect's Golden Core and ranked first on the genius list,"
A cultivator in the crowd who had heard of Xiahou Sheng's name was shocked.
"I have also heard of Xiahou Sheng. It is said that he broke through to the early stage of the Golden Core before he was thirty years old, and he has made great achievements in the art of formation."
Someone in the crowd revealed Xiahou Sheng's information.
When the monks in the Tianyan Sect camp heard the discussions in the crowd, they all showed proud expressions.
"Xiahou Sheng? Hehehe... If you provoke me, I will still kill you," muttered a cultivator in the crowd who couldn't stand Xiahou Sheng's limelight.
Of course, there were also many cultivators who listened carefully to Xiahou Sheng’s narration, including Lu Chen and Song Wanting.
It turned out that Xiahou Sheng happened to be teleported nearby, and while searching for resources, he accidentally discovered five circular stone platforms here.
Each stone platform is about half the size of a basketball court, with mysterious rune lines carved into the hollows all over, faintly exuding an ancient and vicissitudes of life atmosphere.
But the strange thing is that the five stone platforms have stood in this wilderness for tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years, but they have not been covered by vines.
Apart from some traces of time, if we hadn’t known about these stone platforms in advance, they would have been sealed along with the secret realm for countless years.
Anyone would think that these stone platforms were built not long ago.
Xiahou Sheng had made great achievements in the art of formations. After research and comparison, he determined that these five stone platforms were five ancient teleportation formations.
Then the question arises. The original secret realm was created by a powerful cultivator in ancient times. He sealed off a piece of heaven and earth and left rich resources for cultivators of later generations.
Then where would the other end of these teleportation arrays be? Xiahou Sheng made many guesses.
The most likely possibility is that the other end of the teleportation array should be a place of cultivation left over from ancient times, or a cave dwelling of a cultivation sect.
Maybe I can even obtain the cultivation heritage from ancient times.
When Xiahou Sheng thought of this possibility, he became very excited.
He immediately took out a large amount of spirit stones, wanting to try to open the teleportation array so that he could enjoy this ancient cave for cultivation all to himself.
However, he searched around the stone platform for a long time but could not find the groove in the formation to place the spirit stone.
Because if a general teleportation array is to be opened, there will be corresponding array grooves to place spirit stones, using the spiritual energy in the spirit stones to support the operation of the teleportation array.
After checking, Xiahou Sheng found that none of the five stone platforms had grooves to place spirit stones. So what should he do now?
So Xiahou Sheng studied the five stone platforms carefully again.
Finally, Xiahou Sheng’s hard work paid off and he finally figured out that there was a teleportation array that was somewhat similar to this stone platform.
The activation of this teleportation array does not rely on spirit stones, but requires many cultivators to stand on a stone platform and infuse true essence into the stone platform at the same time.
Using the true essence of a large number of cultivators as the energy source to activate the teleportation array...
