0039 The Qiankun Locking Dragon Formation, two layers of protection on Longevity Mountain
[As long as the sacrifice is completed.]
[That will cleanse this bloodline.]
I am a member of the Yuwen family, not the Zhao imperial family.
Zhao Chuan is Zhao Jing's half-brother.
He stood on the altar amidst the pile of corpses, offering incense and prayers:
"Our ancestors".
"May your descendants be protected, and may your soul return to you."
May they protect our descendants and bring us joy in the next life!
……
Yuwen Chuan muttered to himself.
If it weren't for the surrounding remains, it would look like a proper memorial service.
Unfortunately, the corpses piled up like mountains.
Amidst the prayers, a great spiritual light shone forth, and profound energy surged, seemingly to deliver the souls of the dead and redeem descendants.
Zhao Jing looked at it carefully.
They were all sons of the King of Qi and the King of Kang, and all of them were of the Zhao family bloodline.
Dead people are often more useful than living people.
Zhao Jing was able to use Yuwen Zhe to dominate the battlefield.
Yuwen Yi could naturally use it as well.
[Your Highness, what is he doing?]
Seeing the strangeness of the altar, Bao'er couldn't help but ask a question.
Although Zhao Jing possessed the Holy Seal, he could not see the nodes of the flow of profound energy as clearly as Tu Su.
But he could still sense the profound energy emanating from the area in front of him.
Therefore, Zhao Jing made the following judgment:
He is stealing the power of his ancestors' spirits.
No wonder my grandfather didn't mobilize the power of our ancestors to wipe out the Yuwen family.
[So this is where the problem lies.]
[He is likely using this formation to invoke the bloodline of the Zhao clan, praying to his ancestors to divert the power of the imperial palace's grand formation.]
This created an opportunity for the eldest princess to stage a coup.
[That's a brilliant tactic!]
The Zhao imperial family, spanning eight hundred years and including Emperor Hongjing, served fourteen emperors.
One of the reasons why even mediocre emperors can still control the world lies in the spirits of their ancestors.
Zhao Jing didn't need to be an expert in formations; he could still discern the clues by following the storyline in the game.
Bao'er became anxious upon hearing this:
【Your Highness, what should we do?】
Should we destroy it?
The battle is still raging in the palace.
If this formation can be broken, the siege of the imperial palace may be lifted.
With the power of a terrestrial deity, they can launch a counterattack.
Zhao Jing had only been fantasizing for a moment when he immediately dismissed it:
【no!】
[Zhao Chuan is but a mortal; why would he guard this place alone?]
There's always an ambush in the shadows.
The altar was empty.
It looked like a temporary structure, and appeared to be unmanned.
Impossible.
Zhao Chuan had no cultivation and couldn't move this mountain of corpses.
Perhaps it was because the altar was special that people needed to be dismissed.
Zhao Jing smelled the trap.
Bao'er was a little anxious:
【Your Highness, what should we do?】
[Ask someone!]
Zhao Jing contacted Tu Su immediately.
Tu Su possesses starry eyes, is proficient in mystical arts, and has some knowledge of formations; perhaps he can be of help.
……
When the main body called for Tusu, the troops in Yujing City had already been deployed.
Wang Younian, disguised as Wei Kai and accompanied by Qin Ying, headed straight for the military camp to seize power.
Lin Yong led his elite guards, armed with gunpowder, waiting for their chance to strike.
Chen Zhongze prepared to lift the blood-stained sedan chair and take Yuwen Zhe to the capital camp to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
Only Tu Su has not yet been arranged.
At that time, Zhao Jing asked:
"Tusu, calculate where it is safe, and then go there."
You are important; you must survive.
Therefore, Zhao Jing's task for Tu Su was simply to survive.
Tu Su Wan'er:
"Not really."
"This humble woman will follow Your Highness."
"My adoptive father has ordered that I must stay by his side at all times."
Zhao Jing frowned:
"Ridiculous! Which is more important, your adoptive father's orders or my own?"
"Wait a minute..."
Before Zhao Jing could finish speaking, he saw the altar and changed his mind:
"etc."
I need your help.
Tu Su blushed and said with some delight:
"Your Highness, am I not yet of useful health?"
"Last night, His Highness said that I must stay by his side."
If it's useful, it should be kept.
They even started discussing conditions.
Zhao Jing really wanted to pinch her cheek and teach her a lesson.
Unfortunately, circumstances are beyond our control, so we can only try a roundabout approach:
"Doesn't she object?"
The inner personality is absolutely rational.
How could I agree to such a capricious approach?
Tu Su nodded vigorously:
"She also wants to study divination and numerology with His Highness."
It turns out they were bribed by calculus.
I should have taken functional analysis!
Zhao Jing's lips twitched slightly.
So it turns out they lifted a rock only to drop it on their own foot.
That's it.
Zhao Jing nodded:
"I agree. Take the Thousand Illusion Pearl."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Jing disappeared.
It turned into a bead.
Tu Su held the Thousand Illusion Pearl and opened his mind.
Soul connection!
Bao'er's eyes saw the altar.
Tu Su's mind was focused on the essence of the formation.
Zhao Jing used the imperial seal as a bridge to enable communication across thousands of miles.
"The Heaven and Earth Dragon Locking Formation!"
Tu Su blurted it out.
It was him.
Zhao Jing immediately understood.
The tomb raiding master in the game - Longlou.
A lecherous fat man who is also a half-step Grandmaster.
Back then, he was the one who set up this formation to clear the [Ancient Shu Treasure] dungeon.
However, this tomb raiding master was merely a tool for the mission.
Furthermore, he did not appear in the imperial tomb storyline, and Zhao Jing did not recall him at the moment.
This must have been collected by Yuwen Yi.
Zhao Jing felt reassured and continued to ask questions:
"Tu Su, how do you break this formation?"
"Your Highness, this formation was created by the Dragon Tower, specializing in tomb raiding. It can lock dragon veins and disperse profound energy."
"Longlou is well-versed in divination and believes that the great tomb possesses terrifying mystical power, and should not be seized by force, but rather by strategy."
"So he prayed through his descendants to draw away the mysterious power."
"When attracting traffic, anyone who gets too close will inevitably suffer a backlash."
Tu Su solemnly said:
"Imperial mausoleums are important sites for national sacrifices, and their profound power is as vast as the ocean."
"If this is leaked, even a grandmaster will die."
"Only by destroying the second key to the formation can the great formation be dismantled."
"The person within the formation is the first key to the formation."
Now I understand.
Zhao Chuan was responsible for acting as the core of the formation.
If Zhao Jing attacks, he will suffer a backlash from the Xuan power.
The spirits of our ancestors are comparable to immortals on earth.
Yuwen Huan dared not risk his life.
The grandmaster was struck and died instantly.
This is the strongest defense.
Yuwen Yi and the eldest princess really went to great lengths.
During the Ming Dynasty, Gu Changfeng led the Beijing Garrison to guard the area.
Secretly, a dragon-locking formation was set up in the Dragon Tower to suppress the dragon vein.
With one element in the light and the other in the dark, it was virtually foolproof.
But Zhao Jing recalled the game's plot.
The fat old tomb raider cursed:
"Get out of the way!"
"No one is allowed to approach, or they will be annihilated."
"No matter what happens inside the mausoleum, you must not disturb the formation."
"Otherwise, if my profound energy backfires, I will perish with it!"
and many more!
I, too, will be buried with him!
Zhao Jing's eyes lit up when he remembered those words.
The enemy is a single person who controls the Qiankun Locking Dragon Formation.
The formation is broken, and men are dead!
Therefore, Zhao Jing has two paths before him.
First, taking a detour could leave hidden dangers.
Secondly, breaking through the enemy's formation involves taking on extraordinary dangers.
Zhao Jing asked resolutely:
"Tu Su, can you calculate the second key point of the formation?"
Tu Su smiled slightly, holding the pearl, and said confidently:
"It didn't work before, but after learning calculus, it's possible!"
"As long as Your Highness circles the formation once."
"This humble woman can calculate the key to the formation!"
Observe the flow of Xuan energy, and then calculate the second hidden array eye of the enemy.
Zhao Jing couldn't do it.
But Tu Su can.
She could see the flow of Xuan energy with her naked eye.
The most dazzling starry eyes in the world.
There is only one like him in the world.
Zhao Jing immediately ordered:
【Bao'er, circle the formation once, and scout out the enemy while you're at it!】
Yes, Your Highness!
Bao'er, however, showed a rare magnanimity.
A mere accountant can only do accounting.
Your Highness still wants me to carry you.
Bao'er unleashed her full power with lightning speed.
Even more surprisingly, the two bells on her ankles did not ring.
Running silently.
This is a rare gift from Zhao Jing.
It has a miraculous noise-silencing effect, making people as quiet as ghosts.
Bao'er wandered around the dense forest.
She also confirmed that there were no ambushes nearby.
The enemy was too confident in this killing formation.
After reading it, Tu Su asserted:
"Your Highness, the key to the formation is under the stone in the center of the altar; moving the stone will break it."
"The surrounding area is protected by profound energy. Every moment, the profound energy converges, creating a momentary opening that allows one to enter the formation from behind in a straight line."
"But the priests are blocking the way and cannot reach the stones."
"Anyone who attacks the priest will be killed by mystical power."
In order to lock up the enormous profound energy of the tomb, the Qiankun Locking Dragon Formation must have an outlet.
Every fifteen minutes, a straight line appears behind, releasing energy.
This is the flaw in the Qiankun Locking Dragon Formation.
Where there are flaws, there are naturally ways to deal with them.
Longlou used people as bait to fill the gaps in his defenses.
Tu Su analyzed the great formation and issued a warning:
"Your Highness, this formation also has a counter-damage mechanism. Entering, touching, or attacking the formation will all result in a backlash."
Breaking through the formation is extremely dangerous.
Bao'er spoke up:
"Your Highness, I'll do it!"
"Divine speed can break through."
"With the Life-Creating Pill, we can win!"
Bao'er is planning to charge into battle.
Zhao Jing tapped his head in annoyance.
"Idiot, I told you not to risk your life recklessly."
"I have a way."
"Your Highness, what's the plan?"
"A sniper rifle, of course!"
A slight smile appeared on Zhao Jing's lips.
"As for Zhao Chuan, he's easy to deal with."
