Chapter 330: The Cave on Wuji Mountain
Perhaps sensing the inquiry in Ye Zhou's eyes, Hou Yuan hurriedly lowered his head and handed the formation token of the courtyard to Ye Zhou with both hands, and hurriedly said goodbye and left.
After watching Hou Yuan leave, Ye Zhou carefully released his spiritual sense to carefully explore the courtyard inside and outside several times. After confirming that no one had tampered with the courtyard, he came to the outside of the courtyard with peace of mind.
Ye Zhou waved his sleeves to remove the previous formation, and took out all the materials needed to set up the formation from the storage ring, and quickly set up the simplified version of the Tiangang Beidou Killing Formation with five formation eyes that he had learned not long ago.
The Tiangang Beidou Killing Formation is divided into two formations, the inner and outer formations, according to the arrangement of the stars in the sky. The outer formation is about trapping the enemy. Once the cultivators who trespass into the formation enter, they will be blocked by the formation from releasing their spiritual sense, and no matter what kind of attack the cultivators launch, these attacks will eventually be returned to the cultivators intact.
If the cultivators do not know what is good for them and insist on breaking through the formation, they will enter the inner formation. This formation is a killing formation, which can easily kill cultivators in the early stage of foundation building. If Ye Zhou controls it, it is not impossible to kill cultivators in the late stage of foundation building.
It took Ye Zhou several hours to set up this simplified version of the Tiangang Beidou killing formation.
Standing outside the formation, Ye Zhou waved the formation flag in his hand, and saw a dim white light falling from the sky, covering the entire courtyard, making it impossible to peek into the scene in the courtyard, and it is impossible to detect it through spiritual consciousness.
Ye Zhou put away the formation flag with satisfaction and stepped into the courtyard. Wherever Ye Zhou went, the white light dissipated, revealing a spacious passage for Ye Zhou to enter.
Entering the courtyard, Ye Zhou first came to the room where spirit insects were raised in the courtyard, and set up some formations and shields to isolate the breath. Then he took out various spirit insects and spirit insect eggs he raised from the insect control bag and put them in the compartments for raising.
However, Ye Zhou did not release the spirit beetles he raised. The reason was simple. Although there were formations inside and outside this small courtyard, it was on Wuliang Mountain after all. It was just a thought for the Sixth Elder to enter this courtyard. Ye Zhou did not think that these few formations could stop the Sixth Elder.
Once the Sixth Elder found out that he had a spirit beetle, such a rare ancient spirit insect that had long been extinct in the world, it was hard to guarantee that the Sixth Elder would not be greedy. At that time, he and the spirit beetle in his hand would become the Sixth Elder's tool for cultivating spirit insects.
After settling the spirit insects, Ye Zhou turned back to the courtyard and planted some low-year spirit plants that he often used in the remaining space of the two spiritual fields opened up in the courtyard.
After doing all this, it was already late. Because there was nothing in the room where Ye Zhou lived before, there was no need to go back to clean up. He rested for a while in the courtyard.
When it was dawn, Ye Zhou immediately set out to the courtyard where the registered disciples lived and urged the disciples to take care of the spirit insects.
To Ye Zhou's surprise, Hou Yuan, who had always been diligent and never slacked off in taking care of the spirit insects, took leave today and did not come, as if he was avoiding Ye Zhou. The spirit insects he raised were taken care of by another old disciple who had a good relationship with him.
Here Ye Zhou met Sheng Jin. After Sheng Jin finished feeding the spirit insects, Ye Zhou took the opportunity to ask Sheng Jin about Hou Yuan's news. After yesterday's contact, Ye Zhou knew that Hou Yuan was not a simple person and wanted to learn more about Hou Yuan's news.
Among all the disciples, Sheng Jin was the disciple who spent the longest time with Hou Yuan.
After hearing this, Sheng Jin looked at Ye Zhou in confusion and asked, "Hou Yuan? Why are you asking about him? But has he offended you in any way?"
Ye Zhou shook his head: "No."
Seeing this, Sheng Jin had to tell Ye Zhou some of the news he had learned about Hou Yuan. Apart from being the longest-serving registered disciple here and being a bit smooth, Hou Yuan was nothing special. He was usually unknown and unremarkable. Maybe even the Sixth Elder had forgotten the existence of Hou Yuan, a registered disciple.
After Sheng Jin finished speaking, he did not forget to tell Ye Zhou that with Ye Zhou's current status, he had three days off per month, while ordinary registered disciples only had one day off per month.
Today was Ye Zhou's turn to rest. He could leave Wuliang Mountain and go to other places in the sect at will, but he could not leave the Spirit Beast Sect. As for the spirit insects that Ye Zhou was responsible for taking care of, they could be temporarily handed over to other disciples for care.
After Ye Zhou bowed his hands to thank Sheng Jin, he flew away from Wuliang Mountain on his sword.
Ye Zhou has been in the Spirit Beast Sect for more than half a month. He cannot leave Wuliang Mountain for too long because he has to wait for the summons of the Sixth Elder at any time. Ye Zhou has not visited the cave that the old man in the Mountain and River Map gave him. Today, he is free, so he puts the spirit beetle in the cave to raise.
As for the location of the cave, Ye Zhou has already found out from Wu Yong. All the menial disciples live on Changle Mountain, ordinary outer disciples live on Changsheng Mountain, and the registered disciples and ordinary inner disciples under the seats of the elders live on Changshou Mountain.
As for the core inner disciples, the internal managers, and the disciples of the head, the elders, etc., they live on Wuji Mountain.
The cave that the old man in the Mountain and River Map gave him happened to be on Wuji Mountain, which is much better than the caves where ordinary inner disciples live.
Not long after flying away from Wuliang Mountain, Ye Zhou saw four mountains with different concentrations of spiritual energy far above the sky. From left to right, these four mountains are Changle Mountain, Changsheng Mountain, Changshou Mountain, and Wuji Mountain.
Although these four mountains are slightly lower than the surrounding mountains, they are still towering into the clouds, many times higher than the famous mountains and dangerous peaks in the secular world, and can easily accommodate thousands of sect disciples.
The mountains are lush and green, with many towering spiritual trees and exotic flowers and plants growing. There are clouds and mists halfway up the mountain, giving it a fairy-like atmosphere.
There are numerous caves for disciples to live in between the peaks, as well as some exquisite pavilions and towers. Countless disciples are in a hurry, flying back and forth between the four peaks on their swords.
When he first arrived, Ye Zhou didn't know the exact location of the cave given to him by the old man. Seeing that there was a wooden table halfway up each mountain, and a disciple was sitting behind the wooden table, he lowered his flying sword there and prepared to ask.
Who knew that before Ye Zhou could speak, the disciple guarding the halfway up the Wuji Mountain frowned after seeing the registered disciple's clothes Ye Zhou was wearing, and impatiently pointed to the Changshou Mountain with less spiritual energy on the side and said, "You've gone the wrong way. This is Wuji Mountain, not a place for you registered disciples."
Ye Zhou didn't say anything, but took out the token that the old man had given him, put it on the wooden table in front of the disciple and said, "Really? Please help me see which mountain cave this token belongs to?"
