Cultivation begins with the mysterious little tripod

At the junction of the inner and outer Yunmengze, there is an island that is completely black and red.

The island is covered with black stones and red rocks, and the temperature is much higher than other places. The only plant is the "fire pattern grass" growing in the crater.

This island is a volcanic island, an active volcano.

On the west side of the island, among a group of Qiongtai pavilions, there is a five- or six-story attic. On the top floor of the attic, a bare-armed man who looks about 40 or 50 years old is standing alone in front of the window in a hall that looks quite luxurious, looking at the waters outside the island in the distance.

On the water surface in the far distance, it was dark and the demonic energy that was rising into the sky was getting stronger and stronger, and it was about to reach its peak.

In his palm behind his back, he held a jade slip, and it seemed that it was this jade slip that made him frown and look worried.

After a while, the big man sighed, and then pinched it casually, and the jade slip turned into powder on the spot and disappeared.

He didn't want to think about it anymore. He took a few steps back and sat down on the chair without looking. He took a sip of the teacup on the table, as if this could relieve his depressed mood.

However, at this moment, before the big man could put down the teacup in his hand, a stream of fiery red light flew from outside the hall, circling around the hall twice, and landed in front of him.

Seeing this, the big man's expression changed, and he stretched out his hand to grab the stream of light. The stream of light immediately ignited a blazing flame and wrapped the big man's entire palm.

The big man did not react at all. After a sweep of his spiritual consciousness, his face suddenly became extremely ugly.

"Is it finally coming!"

He frowned, and after a few breaths of indifference, his face was extremely blue. Then he stretched out his hand to make a seal, and a flame shot out of his fingers, disappearing into the attic.

In just one or two breaths, a gray ray of light flew in from the attic window, and then it faded, revealing a skinny old man with a gray beard under his chin.

"Brother Tu, what happened? Why did you call me here so urgently?" The short and thin old man put his hands behind his back, slightly hunched over, looked at the big man, and uttered a somewhat dry voice.

"I have no choice but to disturb Brother Zuo's meditation. Just now, a subordinate sent a message that the demon tribe has broken through the last large formation ahead and is gathering now. I'm afraid they will soon attack the Red Fire Island where we are. I'm afraid that Brother Zuo will need to help and work with me to activate the restrictions on the island and the formation." The big man sighed, his face full of worry.

"So fast?"

The short and thin old man frowned, then pondered for a few breaths, and spoke again:

"If that's the case, then make preparations early."

The big man nodded slightly, and then turned his palm, revealing several sparks. As he opened his mouth and blew, these red sparks immediately turned into streams of light and disappeared in the attic.

A moment later, the sound of bells rang everywhere in the entire Red Fire Island, and a large number of colorful lights rose into the sky from the pavilions and towers. They were the many monks stationed on the island. They received the order from the big man, all went out, and dispersed in all directions in a well-trained manner, reaching their respective positions in a very short time.

As for the big man surnamed Tu and the old man surnamed Zuo, after looking at each other, they also flew out of the attic one after another, rose to the sky above the Red Fire Island, and came to the crater in the center of the island.

Not long after, the whole island was filled with white fog. There was also a strange red light emerging in the fog, which gradually merged with the white fog and turned into a group of red fog that covered the whole island.

A red fog sea with a radius of nearly 100 miles was formed.

The big man surnamed Tu and the old man surnamed Zuo who had arranged the formation also returned to the attic.

However, the two did not go to the top floor of the attic, but came to the meeting room on the third floor. Here, several cultivators have been waiting for a long time, four men and two women, all of whom have a cultivation level above the high level of Jindan.

Among the four male cultivators, the only one looked quite young, wearing a dark yellow long gown, handsome, and the other three were all over 50 or 60 years old, and one of them even had white hair and an old face.

However, this old man was also the one with the highest cultivation among the four, with a realm of Jindan Daquan.

The other two women looked exactly the same, but they were twin sisters, petite, cute and well-behaved. They were both wearing black corsets and high ponytails, which made them look very pretty.

It is worth noting that the two women were relatively close to the handsome man, and they looked quite familiar with each other.

The six people all had solemn expressions, and when they saw the two Yuanying seniors coming, they all bowed their hands to greet them.

The old man with white hair was obviously the leader of the six people. He spoke directly:

"Senior Tu, Senior Zuo, according to our estimation, in half an hour, the demon tribe dozens of miles away will return to its peak and attack Red Fire Island again. There is even a high possibility that there will be newly arrived and transformed Level 4 demon beasts. But so far, there has been no news of reinforcements arriving from our side, and the teleportation array has no response. With our current manpower, even if we rely on the 'Red Dragon Chaos Array', we may not be able to hold out for long. When the big array is broken, we may..."

The old man did not finish his words, but everyone present understood what he meant.

Once the big array is broken, the monks on the island will definitely not survive. Even if there is a retreat route of the teleportation array, there are so many monks on the island that it is difficult to teleport all of them away at once. Moreover, it takes time to start the teleportation, and the Level 4 demon beasts that have already transformed will not watch them retreat on the teleportation array.

"There will definitely be reinforcements, but we don't know when they will arrive. This time the monster invasion is unprecedented in scale. Other places in Yunmengze also need to be stationed. It is in a precarious state everywhere. The dispatch of Yunding Palace also needs time. The situation of our Chihuo Dao may be considered good. Before the monster attack, Brother Zhao was seriously injured and bought us Chihuo Island a respite for nearly a month. Now that the fourth-level high-level monster has recovered its vitality. In anger, it will definitely take advantage of Brother Zhao's retreat to repair his injuries and attack with all its strength. It depends on whether we can resist their attack before the reinforcements arrive." The big man surnamed Tu heard this and his face was extremely gloomy.

"No matter what, everyone knows that there is little hope of retreat, but I also hope that you will not be afraid before the battle. Even if it really comes to the last step, Tu will be the one standing in front of you." He thought for a while, his eyes swept over the six people one by one, and added a sentence to boost morale.

The six people heard this, looked at each other, and bowed with a solemn face.

"Don't worry, the situation is not that bad. The 'Red Dragon Chaos Heaven Formation' is a Xuan-level top-grade formation. When it is in operation, even a level 4 top-level monster cannot break it in a short time. Although those transformed monsters will drive the level 2 and 3 monsters to attack without fear of life and death, it is not a big problem to resist for half a month. By then, reinforcements should have arrived. The reason why it was dangerous last time and that Fellow Daoist Zhao was seriously injured was that the evil dragon shook off the monster army and used its bloodline magical power to avoid the formation that was not fully opened and sneaked in while we were not checking. This is why there was such a disaster. Since then, the formation has been opened for several days. Now, with the full efforts of the two of us, it is more powerful, and the monster army is not so easy to break through." The old man surnamed Zuo on the side shook his head slightly, expressing a different opinion.

The six people were relieved when they heard it.

Seeing this, the monk surnamed Tu did not say anything more, but issued several orders to the six people, telling them to act separately, and led the other monks on the island to perform their duties to resist the upcoming demon army.

However, just as the monk surnamed Tu had just given the order and the six people had not yet left, a stream of fiery red light suddenly flew in from outside the hall.

This made several people very surprised.

At this moment, any abnormality is enough to affect the overall situation.
