This is a strange and eerie place, where people's hearts are racing with fear. During the day, it's calm and peaceful, but at night, it's filled with hidden dangers. Of course, this isn't absolute, as lions can suddenly die in the daytime for no reason.
The sun sets in the west, and night is about to fall. Guo Yi opens his eyes, and the spiritual power in his body recovers fully once again, increasing by a large margin.
"Not true!" Guo Yi looked at the setting sun on the horizon with a heart full of doubts.
The blue bull also put down its two hooves and said: "Indeed it is not right!"
Guo Luzhen and the second monk were baffled, completely unaware of what was being referred to. He asked: "Everything is normal, what's wrong?"
"The timing is off." Guo Yi's expression turned serious: "The daytime hours are shorter than yesterday."
"In total, it's short by half a time unit, I suspect tonight's darkness will increase by half a time unit." said Qing Niu.
"It's just less than half an hour, what's the big deal?"
Guo Yao shook his head and said, "Losing half a time unit also means losing the time to recover spiritual energy. The most important thing is that today we only lost half a time unit, but if tomorrow we lose another half, and keep losing like this, we will be exhausted to death within a month."
"Ha! I don't believe we can't escape this accursed place, kid. I suspect we've stumbled into some sort of formation. Why don't we join forces and break through this grand array before nightfall?"
"I had this idea." Guo Yi didn't want to wait for death and decided to take the initiative to attack.
"The master has a move called 'Surprising World Fist Technique' that can break through all formations in the world." Qing Niu said with an air of confidence.
"That's perfect, I have a sword technique that can increase the power fourfold. You teach me your fist technique and I'll merge it with my swordsmanship, then we can unleash four times the power and definitely break through this grand formation."
The Xuanji Water Curtain can now only produce two water curtains, with a power increase of four times. It can only unleash eight times the power when used with the Zangtian Sword, which should be a special manifestation of the Zangtian Sword!
Guo Yi thought that this green cow was not ordinary, and it might really have a shocking fist technique. If he could learn the move from its hooves, then he would never have to fear anyone's formation again.
"Think you can deceive me with your Invincible Fist Technique? You're still a bit too tender, I don't need your help, I can break through this ghostly formation just the same."
The blue bull suddenly lifted its two front hooves, and its entire body soared into the air. It raised its head and let out a long roar: "Nine Bulls Break Ten Thousand Laws!"
The green cow's front hooves swung, striking out a green divine wind. The divine wind carried nine moos of the cow, each one like the tolling of a great bell in an empty mountain, sending out a series of thunderous sounds.
"Rumble!"
After the nine loud bellowing sounds, nine gigantic divine cows suddenly burst out. Each divine cow was covered in a green glow and measured over 100 meters long, majestic and powerful, with an aura that was as if they were nine iron-blooded war beasts.
"Boom!"
The power of nine oxen was enormous, descending from the sky like nine divine mountains crashing into the ground. The massive counter-shock force sent Guo Yi and Guo Lu flying three zhang high.
"How could this be?" The green cow cried out in despair.
The nine-headed divine cow turned into a wisp of blue smoke, and surprisingly, not even a single blade of grass on the ground was damaged, just like a gentle breeze had blown by without leaving any trace.
Guo Lu sneered: "Not even a single blade of grass has been trampled to death, and yet you claim to have broken through all the formations in the world? This is just boasting."
Guo Yi didn't think so, he felt that the Nine Oxen Fist was quite powerful and definitely not inferior to the Mysterious Eight Swords. If this palm technique were combined with the Mysterious Eight Swords, its power would definitely be even more extraordinary.
The blue bull's aura was insufficient, and it said: "Humans have slips of the hand, cows have slips of the hoof! This formation is definitely an ancient rare formation. The person who set up the formation has a cultivation that surpasses all of history. Moreover, I am currently injured, my strength not even one ten-thousandth of what it was before. Losing once is also within reason."
"Boom!"
The sun fell below the horizon, and at the moment when night descended, the heavy snow began to fall again. Half an hour later, the rolling floodwaters rushed in, and Guo Yao could only temporarily put down his boxing skills for extorting Qing Niu, and start running for his life!
This time, the big waves that lasted for days didn't bring anything new, but still consumed all of Guo Yi's spiritual energy, and his body had several hundred more sword wounds, all caused by being pierced by water swords. Fortunately, the number of injuries was about half less than yesterday.
Guo Yi felt that under the threat of Jian Yu's sword rain, his own movement skills had actually improved to a higher level. Whether it was the speed of evasion or the agility of positional changes, they had all reached an extreme point. Even when 10,000 water swords flew towards him at the same time, he could dodge nine out of ten, and the remaining few dozen swords that managed to hit him only scratched his skin, unable to cause any deeper injury.
"This haunted place is a bit dangerous, but it's not bad as a training ground. It can quickly improve my cultivation and increase the flexibility of my movements. This is tailor-made for me."
"Little one," said Qing Niu, "haven't you noticed that tonight is half an hour longer than usual? This is most inauspicious!"
"I think it's pretty good, this way there is a sense of oppression, I feel that if I'm given two more days, I'll be entering the middle period from the initial stage of the eighth palace!"
Guo Ye had just calculated this result and was also startled, to think that he had only broken through the eighth palace of Lingzhe for a few days, and in less than ten days, he would have to break through again. Even if the number one genius in the world came, they would be suffocated by this.
However, this is also reasonable. To know that nowadays Guo Yi's cultivation comes more from the sarira that contains the 3,600 years of cultivation of the Great Master of Suffering. These days, he has been exhausting his spiritual power every day, just like a thirsty person entering a huge reservoir, where he can absorb the water in the reservoir freely. Of course, what Guo Yi absorbs is not water, but the Buddha's power from the sarira.
In this way, the two men and a cow stayed in this strange land for more than half a month. Every day, Guo Yao would exhaust his spiritual energy, then quickly absorb spiritual energy from the Sarira to increase his cultivation. Amazingly, he reached the peak of the eighth palace in just over half a month, only one step away from entering the ninth palace of the Spirit Realm.
This is absolutely the fastest cultivation speed in history, if it gets out, it will definitely scare a lot of people to death.
Of course, the most remarkable thing is not the rapid improvement of his cultivation, but what makes Guo Yi overjoyed is that the Bodhi Three Moves have actually entered the realm of Small Success. Whether it's speed or strangeness, it has almost reached more than ten times that of before. Those water swords can't even touch his body, let alone hurt him.
In these past few days, Guo Yi's overall combat strength has increased significantly. Now, even if it's a high-ranking master from the "Spiritual Leaderboard", he dares to confront them head-on. Even if he can't win, no one can keep him down.
Not far from Guo Yi and others, a figure stood on a small hillside, next to which lay the carcass of a lion.
This person was like a being made of water, his body constantly flowing, and all over his body emitted a faint silver glow. The silvery liquid-like person nodded slightly: "Indeed, he is worthy of being valued by the Evil Lady, under my illusionary pressure, he actually broke through two realms in just over ten days, his future is boundless, and he will surely be able to ascend to the Spirit List and become a outstanding figure among the younger generation."
"My mission is complete, it's also time for me to return and report back to Her Ladyship!"
He waved his hand and instantly withdrew the illusion in front of Guo Yi and others, then his body turned into a drop of fine liquid and disappeared into the air.
After the illusion disappeared, Guo Yi's vision suddenly changed. What was originally a sunset over the mountains became a sunrise; what was originally lush green grass all over the ground became withered and yellowed in patches.
It is still desolate, but in the sky there are all kinds of strange birds flying, ten miles away there is a small river flowing, and one hundred miles away you can see rising columns of smoke from kitchens.
At this time, Guo Lu was shocked and couldn't say a word. Qing Niu also scolded "坑爹" (a Chinese internet slang which roughly translates to "despicable"). Guo Ye, however, burst into laughter: "Actually entered someone else's fantasy realm! The creator of this fantasy realm must have an unfathomable cultivation level, and yet I didn't even notice a single flaw."
Kuo Lu momentarily lost his composure, then reacted and laughed: "Who was it that swore earlier this was an ancient mysterious formation?"
The green cow's head was now completely red with shame, and it was about to run away, but was pulled back by Guo Yao who grabbed the rope.
"Whoosh!"
Two men and a cow originally wanted to go to the nearby village to ask for directions, after all they came to the Central Plains without knowing where they were. However, just as they were about to do so, a bronze ancient chariot suddenly flew over in the sky, pulled by a group of cranes that quickly disappeared into the horizon.
However, less than half a minute later, a middle-aged Taoist led a group of young Xian apprentices to fly over the heads of Guo Yao and others with their swords, they were extremely fast as if they were in a hurry and didn't stop at all.
"Huh? What's today? It's still early in the morning, why are all these people rushing to that direction?"
Before Guo Lu's words had fallen, a white cloud flew across the sky again, with figures flashing in the cloud, and several gleaming war chariots stopped in it. The sound of war drums could be heard coming from the cloud, and it took a long time to disappear on the horizon.
"Could it be that there are immortals in the distance who have gone to war?" Guo Yi also speculated.
"Boom!"
A loud thunderbolt sounded in the sky above, and a small monk unexpectedly displayed the Buddhist divine speed of Bodhi's three movements, running swiftly from the heavens.
The Three Moves of Bodhi, the signature Buddhist technique of Mount Bodhi, cannot be learned by anyone except a prodigy monk, and yet even Mount Bodhi has talented disciples rushing to learn it.
The monk shouldn't have joined the war of the cultivators, so what exactly happened ahead?
