Fortunately, his cultivation had progressed rapidly in the past two years, and he had already consumed the earth-attributed Spirit Accumulation Pill.
Now, his cultivation speed was three to four times faster than before. If he could focus on cultivating for another year or two, he was quite confident that he could break through to the later stage in one fell swoop.
However, he was also very helpless that he still had to waste a lot of time every month to perform alchemy tasks.
In fact, his current cultivation speed was already much faster than others. With the assistance of a large number of rare spiritual medicines, it was something that ordinary cultivators could not imagine.
Now, even if there was something that could increase the progress of cultivation, it would be useless to Zhang Ling.
Cultivation emphasizes gradual progress. If the pills Zhang Ling had taken were not all precious spiritual pills, his cultivation would have been unstable long ago.
...
Although cultivators consider themselves able to transcend life and death and aim for longevity, speaking of being nobler than mortals,
under the might of heaven and earth, they are just larger mortals.
On this day, Zhang Ling saw a scene that he would never forget in his life.
At this moment, the three large mountains in the southwest of Wufeng Valley were shrouded in a layer of array light罩. The defense array, which had not been activated for many years, had been fully activated.
The array of light pillars scattered in the mountains shot straight into the sky.
Between the light pillars, a blue light curtain about an inch thick was condensed, with light waves flowing around, reflecting the three large mountains brilliantly, like fairy mountains in the clouds.
But outside, the sky was dark, and the whistling wind entered his ears. Looking into the distance, a black line appeared in his eyes, which was the sea level.
The black line rose and fell, as if it had life. The appearance of the black line made all the cultivators in Wufeng Valley nervous.
Dang... Dang dang!
Inside Wufeng Valley, there was a series of bell sounds, which was a sign that the sea beast tide was coming.
Countless cultivators took action. At this moment, many cultivators were flying with magical artifacts in various places in the mountains.
Now, the air ban in the market has been lifted. This is to make it easier for monks to move around.
Seeing this situation, this place was about to be attacked by the sea beast tide. Every cultivator's face was gloomy.
...
Zhang Ling urged the flying sword under his feet and went directly to a hill in the east.
This small hill was like being cut off in the middle, presenting a flat ground. Hundreds of monks had already gathered. They were all organized by the Qi Refining monks in Wufeng Valley.
There were seven or eight hills next to each other.
Among these monks, there were also some large appliances, including siege equipment like catapults, and some small magic weapons, flashing various colors of spiritual light.
Those catapults were loaded not with ordinary stones, but with a kind of explosive flame stone containing chaotic spiritual energy.
This is a special kind of rock that has been condensed by refiners, which gathers a lot of fire spiritual power. Once thrown out, it is extremely lethal to first-order sea monsters.
The entire Wufeng Valley was filled with a dull atmosphere brought about by the sea beast pressing down on the city, and everyone's face was extremely serious, and they were breathless under this atmosphere.
Zhang Ling stood on the flying sword, looked at the busy monks, and thought of the past three or four days.
In the past few days, their alchemists were refining pills to restore spiritual power, and they basically didn't have a moment to rest. Zhang Ling knew that something was wrong.
Sure enough, a day ago, he was assigned a new position: guarding Wufeng Valley.
This task was not done by him alone, but by the entire Wufeng Valley. Whether it was the Qi Refining stage or the Foundation Establishment stage.
After a while, Zhang Ling had arrived at the place where he was assigned, the rightmost position of a hill.
There were also more than thirty Qi Refining monks waiting here, and they were familiar with those large instruments. Or fiddle with their respective magic weapons.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang!"
As soon as Zhang Ling's figure fell, he was discovered by the two Foundation Establishment monks at the top of the hill. They smiled slightly at Zhang Ling and greeted him.
"Zhang has met two fellow Daoists, Xu and Wang!"
Although Zhang Ling had not participated in the specific training of the defensive formation, he had seen the two monks who were about to guard this place with him, and immediately cupped his fists and said.
The two were a man and a woman. The woman in simple blue cloth was named Wang Caidie. She was not beautiful, but she was very attractive and had a temperament of a small family jasper.
The other middle-aged man in black was named Xu Ji. Both of them were monks of the Mingyang Sect.
His cultivation base was the same as his, both in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. As for more specific information, Zhang Ling knew nothing about it.
After the three exchanged greetings, they turned their attention to the outside of the array light curtain.
"This time, I'm afraid it will be difficult."
Xu Ji suddenly whispered with a worried look on his face.
"Senior Brother Xu is too worried. Didn't the sea beast tide a hundred years ago be easily blocked?" Wang Caidie replied with a smile.
"This time is different." Xu Ji shook his head and said, "Although I have not experienced the sea beast tide, one of my clan brothers personally experienced the sea beast tide a hundred years ago."
"Oh, does Senior Brother have any discoveries?"
Xu Ji first looked up at the increasingly dark sky, then glanced at Zhang Ling and Wang Caidie, and showed an ugly smile.
"You can tell by looking at the sea level. Although we are close to the Endless Sea, we are not an island. In fact, the past sea beast tides are not a concern. Generally, sea beasts come with the ebb and flow of the sea. The time is very short."
"But you look at the sea level. It doesn't look significant now, but after a while, you will know its power. It will not only bring a large number of sea beasts, but also be accompanied by a strong surge of water. Its power is the real power of the sea."
Hearing this person's words, the faces of Zhang Ling and the two began to change. Not long after, Zhang Ling saw this scene.
Half an hour later, the sky was as dark as night. The rumbling thunder continued to sound in his ears. A torrential rain swept down.
A thunderstorm came, but everyone didn't care about this kind of weather. At this moment, they were looking at the situation outside the formation.
The original black sea level was only one or two miles away from Wufeng Valley.
Zhang Ling took a closer look, and the waves were more than ten feet high, and the sound of howling wind kept coming.
What he felt first was a wave of strong wind pressure.
As the waves hit, he also saw countless creatures mixed in the sea water. Even with Zhang Ling's temperament, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
I saw a large number of fish beasts churning in the sea water. Countless deep eyes shone in the dim sea, looking particularly terrifying.
Most of the sea beasts are fish monsters, some are catfish monsters with long whiskers and several feet long, some are huge with sharp teeth, some are covered with dense stripes, and the colors are colorful. There are also some that look strange.
Silver light flashed in a wave, forming a large area of silver lightning. It turned out to be countless flat small fish with electric light flashing all over their bodies.
At a glance, it covered at least several miles of sea area, and the number was no longer something he could predict.
Woo... woo woo!
A melodious conch sounded, indicating the arrival of the war.
