Chapter 1664: Lightning Avoidance Formation, Golden Thunder Bamboo
The jade slip that the Demonic Gu Saint gave to Chen Xuan actually contained a complete formation diagram.
Different from ordinary formation diagrams, this formation diagram is a lightning protection formation diagram used by cultivators when they are trying to reach a higher level.
"A diagram of the lightning-avoiding formation?"
Chen Xuan was extremely excited.
When looking at the Demonic Gu Saint, I felt extremely grateful.
"Thank you, fellow Taoist!"
"Haha, you're too polite, Mr. Chen."
The Demonic Gu Saint Ancestor laughed loudly, not caring at all: "This time, whether I can successfully reach the Tribulation Stage depends entirely on you, Fellow Daoist Chen."
"Don't worry, I will definitely lend you a helping hand this time!"
Chen Xuan agreed seriously.
Taking this opportunity, Chen Xuan and the other two chatted about some experiences related to cultivation.
Although the Demonic Gu Saint Ancestor is a demon cultivator, his realm is here.
Being a powerful being comparable to the ten great saint ancestors of the demon race, his knowledge must be extraordinary.
Often, just a few words were enough to make Chen Xuan and Master Hui feel as if they had suddenly been enlightened.
After a lively chat, some problems that had troubled Chen Xuan for a long time were solved.
Unfortunately, the bottleneck Chen Xuan encountered still could not be resolved.
This made Chen Xuan feel a little regretful.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, Venerable Hui, the two of you will stay here temporarily."
"My tribulation will begin in ten days. This is the best time I have deduced. Please be sure to arrive on time!"
"When the time comes, I will have someone personally invite you to the place where I will practice in seclusion!"
The Demonic Gu Saint looked at the two of them, especially at Chen Xuan, his expression was extremely solemn.
After all, this matter is crucial to whether he can advance to the Tribulation Crossing Stage.
There is no room for carelessness.
"Don't worry, fellow Daoist, I will never go back on my word!" Chen Xuan said again.
The Demonic Saint nodded and immediately said goodbye and left.
Soon, only Hui Zunzhe and Chen Xuan were left in the hall.
Venerable Hui just had a long chat with the Demonic Gu Saint and gained a lot from it.
After the Demonic Gu Saint left, he found a guest room and stayed there to comprehend what he had just learned.
Chen Xuan was not in a hurry.
In the hall, after admiring the scenery of the Demon Abyss Mountains, he found a guest room and moved in directly.
For safety reasons, Chen Xuan took out a set of formations he carried with him and set them up before going into the secret room to meditate and practice.
hum!
With a thought, Chen Xuan casually activated the protective formation in the secret room.
With a flip of his hand, the diagram of the lightning-proof formation suddenly appeared in his hand.
"This lightning-avoiding formation is an ancient formation that can help cultivators reduce the power of thunder tribulations! It's very powerful!"
"When going through the tribulation, if you can set up a lightning protection formation, the success rate of going through the tribulation can be increased by at least 20%."
"This time, the Demon Gu Saint gave me a great gift!"
Chen Xuan smiled happily.
He placed the jade slip between his eyebrows and studied it carefully.
Wow!
Along with a golden light, it fell on Chen Xuan's eyebrows.
A complex text also appeared.
With Chen Xuan's attainments in formation, he could easily comprehend the diagram of the lightning protection formation in front of him.
Chen Xuan spent two days reading the diagram of the lightning protection formation, but he couldn't help but frown.
"It is not an easy task to refine this lightning protection formation. The main material required is actually the extremely rare golden thunder bamboo!"
"There are many things like Golden Thunder Bamboo in the ancient world of immortal cultivation. As for whether it still exists now, it's hard to say!"
Chen Xuan smiled bitterly.
Golden Thunder Bamboo!
This is a natural treasure that can generate wood-attributed lightning power.
Every section is very precious.
So far, Chen Xuan has only seen the existence of Golden Thunder Bamboo in ancient books.
As for the current world of immortal cultivation, Chen Xuan has never heard of any news about the Golden Thunder Bamboo.
"It seems that it will take more than a day for me to create a lightning protection formation."
"Especially the main material for refining the lightning protection array, the golden lightning bamboo, we must get it first!"
Chen Xuan sighed.
He then put away the diagram of the lightning protection formation.
Soon, Chen Xuan flipped his palm again and took out the ancient Four Symbols Formation diagram to study it carefully.
"The ancient Four Symbols formation diagram requires the essence and soul of the White Tiger, Azure Dragon, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise as the formation base."
"Only the ancient Four Symbols Formation refined in this way can be a powerful formation that can be used for both offense and defense."
"Nowadays, it is very difficult to find materials to refine the Four Symbols Formation."
"It seems that I can only look for some alternatives."
Chen Xuan muttered softly.
Continue to comprehend the ancient Four Symbols Formation.
Little did they know that just when Chen Xuan and Zun Hui arrived at the Demon Abyss Mountains and were preparing to help the Demon Gu Saint Ancestor advance to the Tribulation Period, in the dojo of the Demon Saint Ancestor Tianwu.
The Holy Ancestor Tianwu was looking at a young female cultivator and smiling slightly.
If Chen Xuan were here, he would definitely recognize at a glance that the young female cultivator in front of Saint Tianwu was none other than Wu Fengling, who had experienced life and death with him in the Tianmo Snow Mountain.
"Feng Ling, I didn't expect that you are already in the early stage of Mahayana. With your talent, in a few years, you will definitely be able to advance to the late stage of Mahayana, or even reach the state of great perfection in the late stage of Mahayana."
"When the time comes, I can safely hand over my father's position as one of the Ten Great Demon Ancestors to you."
Saint Ancestor Tianwu looked at Wu Fengling with a kind face.
Hearing this, Wu Fengling's expression changed slightly.
"Dad, what do you mean? Could it be that the things I brought back from the Demon Snow Mountain back then were of no help in your advancement to the Tribulation Crossing Stage?"
Wu Fengling looked anxious.
Saint Ancestor Tianwu looked at her, but smiled and shook his head.
"Why are you so anxious, girl? At most, Dad just can't advance to the Tribulation Crossing Stage. Besides, with Dad's life span, he still has hundreds of thousands of years to live. There's no rush for this matter!"
Seeing that Saint Ancestor Tianwu was avoiding the question, Wu Fengling became more and more anxious.
"father!"
Wu Fengling pretended to be angry.
"Are those things I brought back to you really useless to you?"
Upon seeing this, Saint Ancestor Tianwu nodded seriously.
"I thought that among the things you brought back, there would be at least something that could help me advance to the Tribulation Crossing Stage. Unfortunately... everything is God's will!"
"impossible!"
Wu Fengling shook her head repeatedly.
"Dad, when I entered that cave, I brought back everything inside for you. Nothing was left out. Could it be that..."
Thinking of this, a hint of shock flashed across Wu Fengling's eyes.
"Did he do something?"
Wu Fengling looked incredulous.
At the beginning, she and Chen Xuan explored the cave of the ancient immortal cultivator together, and brought back several jade boxes and handed them over to the Saint Ancestor Tianwu.
I hope that Saint Ancestor Tianwu can successfully advance to the Tribulation Crossing Stage.
It was not until now that Wu Fengling realized that the jade box she brought back that year did not contain what the Saint Ancestor Tianwu needed.
"Hmm? Could it be that in the past, besides you and Tian Lao, there were others who entered that ancient cave?"
Saint Ancestor Tianwu looked curious.
Upon hearing this, Wu Fengling immediately recounted in detail the key circumstances of when she and Chen Xuan entered the ancient cave.
After hearing this, Saint Ancestor Tianwu couldn't help but look surprised.
"Feng Ling, are you saying that the guy who entered the ancient immortal cultivator's cave with you was the human Chen Xuan?"
"That's right. He was in disguise at the time. Tian Lao and I both thought he was a cultivator from the demon world. It was not until later that I found out that he was actually Chen Xuan from the human race."
"Chen Xuan? This name sounds so familiar to me!"
Tianwu Saint Ancestor looked puzzled.
After thinking seriously for a while, a look of horror suddenly emerged from the depths of his eyes.
"Haha, I remember that our demon world invaded the spirit world in a big way. This human Chen Xuan caused our demon world to suffer a great loss!"
"Not only did he kill many of the Ten Saint Ancestors' clones by himself, he even caused Saint Ancestor Wu Yao to fall directly into the Spirit World. This reduced the Ten Saint Ancestors in my Demon World to Nine Saint Ancestors!"
"If it were someone else, I believe that they would not be able to take away the things that would allow me to advance to the Mahayana stage."
“But if it was Chen Xuan, I think there’s an 80% chance that those things fell into his hands.”
"Haha, God is really helping me!"
When Saint Ancestor Tianwu said this, his eyes were full of smiles.
Now, Wu Fengling was suddenly confused.
"Dad, what do you mean? Do you think that after so much time has passed, those rare treasures that can help you advance to the Tribulation Crossing Stage will still remain in Chen Xuan's hands?"
"Of course. The jade boxes you brought back all have very powerful divine and demonic restrictions. They can only be removed using very ancient demonic secret techniques. As a human cultivator, Chen Xuan probably cannot open those jade boxes no matter how powerful he is."
"If that's the case, that would be great."
Wu Fengling looked ecstatic.
Soon, she looked at Tianwu Shengzu and said, "Dad, if that's the case, I'll go to the spirit world and find Chen Xuan to see if I can get those jade boxes back from him."
"Well, it's not impossible. However, you should not go to the spirit world for the time being."
"Why?"
"Haha, if you have time, why not go to the Demon Abyss Mountains!"
"Why? According to the information I got, the old fellow, Demon Gu Saint, is planning to strive for the Crossing Tribulation Stage. Haha, this is a rare opportunity for you young Mahayana cultivators to observe the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth."
"So, Dad, you mean to let me watch the Demon Gu Saint Patriarch transcend the tribulation before going to the spirit world?"
"exactly!"
Tianwu Saint Ancestor nodded.
Soon, he flipped his hand, took out a storage bag and handed it to Wu Fengling.
"Feng Ling, take this storage bag. If that old fellow, the Demon Gu Saint, can successfully advance to the Tribulation Crossing Stage, you can give these gifts to him on behalf of your father. If he cannot successfully advance to the Tribulation Crossing Stage, then don't give them to him."
"Dad, don't worry, I will definitely get this done."
"Well, it's still a long way to the Demon Abyss Mountains. You should pack up and get there as soon as possible."
"Yes, Dad!"
Wu Fengling agreed and left immediately.
The Holy Ancestor Tianwu just stood there quietly.
After a long time, no one knew what he remembered, and his expression became extremely complicated.
"The old fellow, Demon Gu Saint Ancestor, is good at peeping into the secrets of heaven. Logically speaking, it would be much more difficult for him to advance to the Tribulation Crossing Stage than it is for us."
"But this time, this old guy is actually preparing to reach the Tribulation Crossing Stage so quickly. Could it be that he has found a person with great luck who can cover up the secret for him?"
Tianwu Saint Ancestor thought seriously for a long time.
After a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Back then at the Demon Snow Mountain, I heard that the old fellow, the Demon Gu Saint Ancestor, actually attacked the Saint Ancestor of my Demon Realm in order to save Chen Xuan!"
"Could it be that this Chen Xuan is the biggest support for the Demon Gu Saint Ancestor to advance to the Tribulation Crossing Stage?"
"Haha, if this is true, it's quite interesting!"
"Maybe, if I ask Chen Xuan to help suppress that thing for our demon world, the success rate should be very high, right?"
When Saint Ancestor Tianwu thought of this, he couldn't help but look ecstatic.
Soon, no one knew what he understood, and he immediately turned into a shadow and disappeared.
At this moment, Chen Xuan, who was in seclusion in the main hall of the Demon Abyss Mountains, was also awakened by Venerable Hui.
After quickly putting away his skills, he appeared outside the guest room at a high speed.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, Fellow Daoist Mo Gu is already ready. Send someone to pick us up now." Venerable Hui said with a smile.
Chen Xuan nodded.
However, when his eyes swept over the immortal cultivator who came to pick them up, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.
"It's you?"
