The Path to Becoming Immortal

Ning Ping was shocked and immediately knew the reason. At this moment, he was wrapping himself with his soul body, just like the aura of a soul clan.

It was precisely this kind of aura that caused the formation to think that a soul beast or soul clan had passed through, and was instantly activated.

Before the formation could react, Ning Ping immediately revealed the fluctuations belonging to the human monks.

Sure enough, the fluctuations in the formation immediately subsided.

After the false alarm, Ning Ping discovered under careful observation that the formation in the passage was designed to prevent the soul clan from passing through.

After a while, the passage was finally passed smoothly. At the entrance of the passage, under the watchful eyes of the guards, Fu Hongbo also turned around and headed towards the tower.

In the tower, two old men were sitting opposite each other, with a steaming pot of tea on the table.

Ning Ping did not enter it. The two people inside were both god-transforming monks, so it was better to be cautious.

One of them was Wen Haokong, the leader of Taixuan Sect, while the other one looked unfamiliar, but he was somewhat similar to Qiu Wenkai from before.

Sure enough, Wen Haokong confirmed what Ning Ping was thinking as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Master Fu, Elder Qiu is not an outsider. Please tell me in detail what the military situation is outside."

Wen Haokong was quite good at concealment skills, and this time he was assigned to conduct intelligence exploration.

"Sect Master, Elder Qiu, this time..." Fu Hongbo then detailed what he saw during the battle.

After hearing this, the two looked at each other and nodded slightly. It seemed that if nothing unexpected happened, they already knew the relevant information.

It's just a matter of mutual verification through multiple channels, just in case.

"Master Wen, I, the ancestor of the Qiu family, came here in person this time. I didn't expect that the war situation would be so difficult to resolve. This soul clan is really difficult to deal with..."

After hearing this, Elder Qiu said thoughtfully.

"Haha, but with your ancestor's cultivation, it must not be a big problem."

Wen Haokong secretly praised it and continued.

"To tell you the truth, I quite admire you, Fellow Daoist Qiu. You have been protecting the formation here incognito all year round, and Fellow Daoist Qiu deserves the first credit."

"When the star soul wakes up later, we can go together and experience it. It can be regarded as a complete meritorious deed."

"Haha~" Elder Qiu burst out laughing when he heard this, his eyes flashing slightly.

"The subsequent reinforcement of this formation is led by my Qiu family, and it has been cared for by my family for generations. It is also a matter of responsibility. Fellow Taoist should not be so boastful."

"Besides, I am also grateful to fellow Taoist Wen for taking care of me here. I really want to thank you. It is the Qiu family that thanks you."

Having said this, Elder Qiu picked up the tea cup in front of him, raised the cup with a faint smile, and drank it all in one gulp.

After hearing this, Ning Ping, who was outside, suddenly realized that the Qiu family had already laid out a plan and had made preparations for today.

Fu Hongbo also mentioned on the way that the Qiu family has always been the true guardian of the formation, and exists like a hidden family here.

While the two were chatting, Fu Hongbo also withdrew, walked around the doorway and continued inside.

As the master of the Soul Locking Sect, Fu Hongbo certainly has the duty of inspection.

When entering the heart of a heavily guarded mountain, Ning Ping could sense a vague sense of hunger lingering and monitoring him all the way.

The source is exactly in the previous city tower.

Finally, after walking through the mountain for a long time, the two finally came to a huge stone door.

There were two Jindan monks sitting cross-legged at the door. When they saw Fu Hongbo, they quickly stood up and saluted.

"Greetings to the Master of Fu Sect!"

"Yes! Open the stone door and see if there is anything unusual." Fu Hongbo said calmly with his hands behind his back.

"Yes~"

After saying that, one of the Jindan monks took out a token and stuffed it into a gap in the stone door.

"Rumble..." After a burst of noise, the huge stone door suddenly slid open to both sides.

Ning Ping entered it in a flash.

Inside is a stone room, which is quite spacious. In the middle is a very exquisite stone platform with countless runes carved on it.

The top is a huge groove, and I don't know how deep it is.

This is where the spiritual stone is placed. Looking at it now, the spiritual energy is billowing inside. It seems that it was just added recently.

You can see it clearly from outside the stone gate.

Fu Hongbo nodded calmly, and after finishing the inspection, he turned around and headed towards the outside.

At this time, under the seal of the golden elixir monk, the stone door slowly closed again.

Just when the stone gate was about to close, a wave of formation fluctuations swept over him, and Ning Ping suddenly became alert.

"Trap?" Thinking of this, and with a quick deduction, Ning Ping quickly took a step to the side and stood firm, not daring to move any more.

At this time, a faint and familiar consciousness swept over him again. After finding nothing, he quickly receded and was never seen again.

It turned out that when the Shimen Closing Formation was activated just now, Ning Ping clearly sensed that the formation here was not the center of the formation, but was only used to trap the enemy.

This formation is the Tiangang Formation, which is mainly used to trap the enemy. It is also recorded in "Xiu Yi Formation Yi".

There is no doubt that in this case, this is just a trap in the open.

Because the stone table I saw just now seemed to be the center of the formation, providing energy, but in fact it was just a cover-up.

Otherwise, how could others open and watch such an important place at will?

Think about it again, to maintain such a large formation, what a huge amount of spiritual stones are needed.

It's okay to deceive other people, but it's not that simple to deceive yourself.

A large formation like this needs to be combined with the underground spiritual veins.

Thinking about the continuous Nanping Mountains, my heart lit up.

This formation was constructed by Na Xiu Ran. After carefully observing the style, Ning Ping was even more certain that it was him.

It was precisely because of this that Ning Ping was able to find the safe position under his feet in such a short time.

After careful observation, the Tiangang formation was deduced one by one.

There was an unexpected discovery, that is, in a corner of the stone room, there was a short-distance teleportation formation hidden under the stone slab.

There is no doubt that this teleportation formation is probably to a more important place, but this requires other activation methods, which he cannot use.

In silence, after a while, Ning Ping's eyes lit up, and a rough plan emerged.

After a deduction, Ning Ping's mind moved and his whole body slowly sank into the floor, and then an abnormal formation wave also rippled slightly.

On the tower, the elder of the Qiu family suddenly had an idea, and his consciousness instantly expanded to scan the stone chamber formation.

But after a careful check again, he still found nothing.

While worried, the divine consciousness continued to extend and quickly swept in a certain direction, and disappeared after a while.

Ning Ping was at the bottom of the stone chamber. At this time, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked in the direction where the divine consciousness disappeared before, and smiled slightly.

Just now, he deliberately triggered the formation to attract the attention of the guardian.

Since this formation as a trap is so important, the owner must pay more attention to it.

Then, Ning Ping quickly escaped in the direction where the divine consciousness extended just now.
