Mortal Cultivation: Immortality begins with the Spirit Gathering Array!

At the hour of Xu, the night was as dark as ink, and the stars were dim.

The chilly night wind blew outside the desolate suburbs. A blue light shot out from the sky above Guang'an City and quickly flew towards the direction of the Wutong Mine.

The Wutong Mine was only forty miles away from Guang'an City. With Su Ming's current speed, it would only take two quarters of an hour to get there at full speed.

In order to deal with the enemy cultivators of the Hehuan Sect who might encounter him at any time, Su Ming did not continue to control the Qingyu Shuttle, but switched to the top-grade magic weapon, the Water-Dividing Ruler.

While rushing on the road, Su Ming did not relax his vigilance. Who knows if the cultivators of the Hehuan Sect have set up an ambush on the way to the Wutong Mine?

However, with his consciousness far beyond the perfection of Qi Refining, it is very difficult for cultivators of the same level to sneak attack him, and it is basically impossible.

After flying for more than a quarter of an hour, Su Ming could already vaguely see the outline of the black copper mine. The khaki light shield produced by the operation of the Earthly Evil Formation was so conspicuous in the dark night even though it was ten miles away.

Seeing this, Su Ming lowered his escape light, slapped the Qi-gathering and Wind-traveling Talismans on his body, and used the Wind Control Technique to sneak towards the black copper mine.

With the protection of the Earthly Evil Formation, as long as the enemy does not have a foundation-building cultivator, even if there is a backup, there is no way to break the formation in a short time. If you rush over in a hurry and get ambushed, it will be bad.

Even if Su Ming thinks that his strength is not inferior to that of a Qi-refining perfect cultivator, the immortal cultivators have many means, and it is still quite dangerous if they are besieged.

With the blessing of the Wind Control Technique and the Wind-traveling Talisman, Su Ming only took half a quarter of an hour to silently reach the vicinity of the black copper mine.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A huge roar came from the mine not far away, accompanied by strong fluctuations of mana. It seemed that Senior Brother Chang Yun and others had already fought with the Hehuan Sect monks.

"Since the Hehuan Sect monks were able to trigger the backhand I left behind, it means that the enemy is connected to the He family. The method of activating the Scorching Flame Array was probably also told by the He family..."

"The Hehuan Sect cannot be unaware of the power of the Earthly Evil Array. Even if the second-level array is not controlled by the array master, it is not something that the Qi Refining Monk can break..."

"In this case, the enemy still chooses to break the array by force, which means that the other party must have a powerful trump card in his hand..."

Thinking of this, Su Ming decided not to take action first and wait and see.

Since the Earthly Evil Array was analyzed by Luo Shu, Su Ming's understanding of it is no less than that of the array master who set up this array, and even better than that.

If the enemy really has a backhand and breaks the array easily, with the strength of the Hehuan Sect monks, Su Ming will not be able to change the outcome of the destruction of the Black Copper Mine even if he takes action, but may put himself in danger.

After confirming that there was no problem with the Earthly Evil Formation, Su Ming hid in the dark and continued to sneak towards the entrance of the Black Copper Mine.

With the Hidden Spirit Technique and the Supreme Qi-Gathering Talisman, it was difficult for the Qi-Refining cultivators to find Su Ming's trace.

"Sure enough, there is an ambush!"

Su Ming looked at the cultivator hiding near the pile of rocks in the southeast direction of the mine and thought to himself.

However, Su Ming did not attack directly, but hid in the dark and continued to look for the enemy's traces around the mine.

Soon, Su Ming, relying on his powerful spiritual sense, found another ambush cultivator in the woods in the northwest direction of the mine.

"One is in the eighth level of Qi Refining, and the other is in the seventh level of Qi Refining. It seems that the cultivators of the Hehuan Sect are ready to kill them all..."

Su Ming instantly judged that the two ambushing cultivators were specially used to prevent Chang Yun and others from escaping.

The other party really has the means to break the formation!

Su Ming's heart was shocked. If he was not sure of breaking the Earthly Evil Formation, it would be meaningless to arrange people to ambush here.

"No spiritual power fluctuations of the foundation-building period have been found so far. There should be no foundation-building cultivators among this group of enemy cultivators..."

"It is difficult for Qi-refining cultivators to activate spiritual tools with their mana. Limited by their cultivation level, there are not many means for Qi-refining cultivators to break the second-level formation. Most likely, they use powerful spiritual talismans or disposable magic tools..."

"The Earth Evil Formation is a purely defensive formation. It is more difficult to break than other formations of the same level. Excluding the formation method, the only thing I can think of is the 'Earth-shaking Talisman' that is specifically used to break the formation, and the 'Land Mine Bead' that is as powerful as a full-strength attack of the late foundation-building period..."

"Considering the rarity of the 'Land Mine Bead', it is unlikely that the cultivators of the Hehuan Sect have the Land Mine Bead. The enemy's means of breaking the formation is most likely the 'Earth-shaking Talisman'..."

With Su Ming's cultivation of the talisman and formation methods, plus the fact that he would go to the sect's Sutra Pavilion to read some biographies of the immortal world, he could determine the most likely method for the Hehuan Sect cultivators to break the formation in a few breaths.

"The Earthly Evil Formation is a second-grade low-grade defensive formation, and its defensive ability alone is no less than that of a second-grade medium-grade..."

"Although the Earth-Shaking Talisman can vibrate the black copper veins and affect the earth and gold dual evil spirits, it is not enough to directly break the formation. At most, it can damage the Earthly Evil Formation and greatly reduce its power to the level of a first-grade high-grade..."

"But the only family nearby that can provide support, the He family, has betrayed the sect. It is good enough that they do not take the initiative to attack. It is impossible for them to come to support. The support from the sect is estimated to take two days to arrive. Unless I use all my strength to control the formation, it is impossible for me to hold out for two days in the hands of the enemy and wait for the sect reinforcements."

Su Ming's eyes flickered, and he had already had a hint of retreat in his heart. When the opponent used the Earth-Shaking Talisman, he was afraid that he could not stop it if he secretly took action to maintain the formation.

But if he took the initiative to enter the formation to control the Earthly Evil Formation, not only would he be in danger, but Su Ming's attainments in the art of formation would also be exposed to his fellow disciples. If this were heard by He Ru and the others, they might think of what happened back then.

Can't enter the formation!

Just as Su Ming was thinking, a strong spiritual power wave came from not far away.

For a moment, the earth shook, the rubble rolled, and the entire Wutong Mine was on the verge of collapse. The huge khaki light shield that originally protected the mine instantly dimmed a lot and looked shaky.

"It's really the 'Earth Shaking Talisman'!"

Su Ming stabilized his body and looked at the greatly reduced momentum of the Earthly Evil Formation with a solemn expression.

At present, the two kinds of evil spirits of earth and gold in the Wutong Mine have been shaken up, and it is impossible to restore them to normal in a short time.

It's not too late to leave now!

Even if he is accused of "poor guarding", it is better than taking action and putting himself in danger.

With the merit of exposing the He family's private collection of immortal seedlings, Su Ming will not only not be punished, but also get a lot of credit.

Just as Su Ming was about to leave quietly, the sect's spiritual talisman for help in the storage bag sent out spiritual power fluctuations again.

Su Ming took out the talisman, thinking that it was another signal for help from Chang Yun and others.

But when Su Ming saw the information conveyed in the talisman, his eyes fluctuated and he froze in place. The steps he had taken seemed to be nailed to the ground and could not move further.

......

On the other side, under the leadership of Zhang Sifan, Xiao Yuyao and others used magic weapons to launch a fierce attack on the protective light shield of the Earth Demon Formation.

Chang Yun and the other four blocked the attacks of the Hehuan Sect monks through the protective shield of the formation, trying to reduce the enemy's consumption of the formation, taking steady steps, not advancing at all, and focusing on delaying time.

The signal for support has been sent out. With the protection of the Earthly Evil Formation, they only need to delay until the He family's support. As a fake Dan family, they only need to send a foundation-building cultivator, and these enemy cultivators of the Hehuan Sect will naturally flee upon hearing the news.

Chang Yun and others did not know about the He family's betrayal, so they chose to defend the formation and wait for the support of the He family's foundation-building cultivator.
