21 The Road Ahead Is Not Easy.

"Are you too late?" At the top of the ninth peak, Long Tian saw that the peak master's cave had been seized and looted, and he did not take Qiu Ligao there.

From the sixth peak to the ninth peak, they gained very little, only scattered resources and spiritual stones. On the other hand, the other monks who searched the mountain with them had quite good harvests.

There is no way, every mountain peak is very wide, and no one knows where there are good things. Monks who explore secret realms are like locusts, leaving nothing behind wherever they go. There were only two of them, Long Tian and Qiu Ligao, so they would definitely not be able to move as fast as other people's team. Fortunately, Long Tian had already obtained valuable items before the Sixth Peak, especially in the White Mist Forest and Stone Wall Maze, so he didn't feel lost.

Looking at the tenth peak in the north, which was the tallest and most spiritual, Long Tian had a hunch that there was some great opportunity there.

Seeing many monks wandering back and forth under the gate of the Tenth Peak Mountain, unable to go any further, Long Tian guessed that there must be a formation restriction blocking their progress.

Here's your chance to get one step ahead.

Long Tian decided to untie the formation later and immediately pulled Qiu Ligao and ran to the top of the mountain. If nothing unexpected happened, there would be a sect leader's cave on the top of the mountain. Perhaps the Cangchen sect would suddenly leave the Kunlun world, escape into the void, and reappear in the world a thousand years later. But there are no clues of human traces.

There was no trace at all on the nine peaks in front, as if all the monks of the Cangchen Sect had evaporated, which made Long Tian very confused and curious.

————

An hour later, tens of thousands of monks had gathered at the gate of the tenth peak. Everyone was staring at the tenth peak. The harvest at the last peak would definitely not be worse than the previous one.

The problem is that the Tenth Peak is shrouded by a huge fourth-grade formation, and coupled with air restrictions, the only way to get in is from the mountain gate.

A familiar scene.

Long Tian led Qiu Ligao through the crowd and walked to the front of the mountain gate. A group of anxious array masters were spinning in circles, distressed, and suddenly found Long Tian. This time, no one laughed at him like last time.

If Long Tian hadn't unlocked the formation at the outer mountain gate of Cangchen Sect, everyone would probably still be locked out and unable to get in.

Just when everyone was expecting Long Tian to be able to break through the formation instantly, they suddenly heard Long Tian let out a light sigh.

"What's wrong?" An elderly formation master immediately came over.

Not all of them were young people. The path to immortality was so difficult. Qualifications and resources are indispensable. Some people have been cultivating immortals for most of their lives, and their realm improves slowly. Foundation-building crystals that are over a hundred years old are extremely common.

"This formation is very complicated. The matrices are interlocked. It is very difficult to solve." Long Tian said that this formation is completely different from the previous one. It will take a lot of time for him alone. He needs to rely on the power of the formation masters. , in order to crack it as soon as possible.

"If there's anything we can do to help, just ask." Dozens of formation mages were very sensible and stepped forward one after another.

In the mortal world, when it comes to qualifications, some people are mediocre and have no job, but they still suppress capable juniors for fear of being surpassed. In the world of cultivating immortals, ability is qualification. There is no doubt that Long Tian's formation skills are higher than those present, so even if they are much older than Long Tian, ​​they are willing to help him.

"Okay, then you..." Long Tian was not polite at all and began to arrange manpower.

The monks who were not formation mages were resting not far away. Those who came before them planted trees while others enjoyed the shade. They had nothing to be embarrassed about. The most they could do was not compete with these formation mages for treasures.

In the crowd, You Maangbin stared at Long Tian who was commanding the array masters. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists: "A mere country clock actually steals the show..."

"Young Master, it's difficult to kill him here. We can choose to secretly follow him back when leaving the secret realm and kill him halfway. But the premise is that he is not with the disciples of Tianluo Sect, otherwise we can only think about it in the long term. ." Goujizi whispered.

"Of course I know. When the time comes, kill that foundation-building scumbag first. No, capture him and let him watch Long Tian being tortured to death. Then it's his turn. I want him to understand what despair is." You Maangbin now also hates Qiu Ligao.

The answer to why Ye Yong dare not befriend the protagonist is obvious. The protagonist's taunting aura will also make friends around him hostile. You Maangbin is just a minor villain in the early stage and cannot make waves at all, but the villains in the middle and later stages are different. They need talent and identity, and it will be really uncomfortable to be remembered.

Long Tian was very sensitive to sight, especially those with resentment. He noticed You Maangbin and understood that the other party would not give up and had to find an opportunity to get rid of You Maangbin and his group.

As for when the opportunity will come, it should appear when the gate to the tenth peak opens.

Long Tian's slightly surprised chuckle just now was not because the formation was too complicated, but because the old man Yuxian said that the formation had been activated recently.

Three days have passed since entering the Cangchen Sect's mountain gate. Because no one knew what dangers would arise, the monks began to search the mountain step by step. Even if they had to rush away, they did not dare to run away from the Queen Mother for fear of triggering the mechanism. , there was no one to rescue him, so Long Tian believed that it was impossible for normal monks to come to the Tenth Peak so early in advance.

The group of formation mages in front of him was very talented. Long Tian knew very well that even if they all added up, they would not be able to crack this formation. Even if they could, it would take a month anyway. Therefore, Long Tian was basically certain that it was a group of formation mages. An unknown hidden force opened the gate to the tenth peak.

Could the hidden force be Cangchen Sect disciples? Long Tian thought it was impossible. His sect was being raided by outside monks. If they were still there, how could they stand by and watch? He had already shown up to stop it. Combined with the fact that no one alive from Cangchen Sect appeared, Long Tian believed that this was probably related to the hidden force and that the person who came was not good.

‘What kind of changes happened thousands of years ago that forced a large formation sect to hide in the void and cut off contact with the outside world? ’ Long Tian became more and more curious; ‘Setting up cultivation restrictions is probably to prevent the hidden forces from invading Cangchen Sect, right? ’

'It's useless to think too much now. The answer will be there when the door opens. Be careful, the road ahead is not easy. ’ The old man from the Fallen Immortal reminded him.

'Um. ’ While Long Tian was commanding the formation master, he asked Qiu Ligao to call the disciples of Tianluo Sect over. As a fellow sect member, he should be given priority when in danger. After You Maangbin's sneak attack, Long Tian deeply realized that personal power is limited and teamwork is required when necessary.

"Brothers and sisters." Qiu Ligao came to Ye Mao and the others respectfully, cautiously, for fear that he would say something wrong: "Long Tian asked everyone to come over."

Ye Mao's brows twitched, he didn't want to.

"Why?" A senior brother asked Ye Mao's doubts.

"Long Tian is afraid that someone will hurt him." Qiu Ligao conveyed truthfully.

As the protagonist, Long Tian has an above-average IQ. He can't possibly say that there is danger inside. Is it safer to let the disciples of Tianluo Sect follow him? That way, he would not be able to deal with the anxious You Maangbin and others, and they might even alert the hidden forces to take action in advance. Even after the door opens later, he would have to pretend to rest and wait for other monks to go in first.

"Okay, we will protect him." The senior brothers and sisters knew that Long Tian played a big role. They didn't get close before, just because Long Tian didn't speak, so it was not easy for them to invite him first.

Just as Ye Mao was about to stay there alone, he didn't expect that a voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

Hearing that voice, Ye Mao's eyes widened instantly and he was very shocked. He looked around. After a while, he pretended to be calm and joined his fellow sect as if nothing had happened.
