At this moment, Headmaster Sun and several elders were looking at a square jade piece about ten feet in size.
Lights and shadows flickered on it, and a spot of light lit up every once in a while. After two quarters of an hour, a full thirty spots of different colors appeared on it.
Most of these spots of light were clustered near Feiyun City, and the brightest ones were on Qiyun Mountain.
"The time has come, all the key nodes of the formation have been activated, start the great formation." The headmaster flicked his sleeve, and a jade ring appeared in his hand.
Several strange magic seals were cast on it, and the jade ring began to change, transforming into thirty identical jade rings. The jade rings varied in size, the smallest was like a jade bracelet, and the largest was several feet wide in diameter.
These jade rings rotated together, either clockwise or counterclockwise, forming a special instrument like an armillary sphere.
After this object was formed, Headmaster Sun and the others sat cross-legged on the ground and released their divine sense power to control it. This object is the core key node(阵眼: key nodes) of the Feiyun Sect's Flowing Cloud Great Formation.
At the same time, a stone platform rose every distance on the city wall of Feiyun City, and countless spiritual lights condensed around it. Before long, the spiritual light swelled and contracted, forming a white beam of light soaring into the sky.
A full twenty beams of light soared into the sky, hitting the sky with a constant rumbling sound, forming a gray-white cloud in the air, which quickly spread, covering a large area of the sky in a blink of an eye.
The cultivators and mortals who saw this scene were surprised, but then the elders of Feiyun Sect shouted loudly. "This is the activation of our sect's Flowing Cloud Great Formation. You only need to kill the wild beasts rushing under the city wall. With the protection of the great formation, we are safe and sound."
At the same time, the Feiyun Flags guarded by Zhang Ling and others outside the city were also activated. Twelve beams of light rose up within a few hundred miles outside Feiyun City, but unlike the spiritual light pillars above the city wall, these twelve beams of light were of different colors and emitted stronger spiritual power fluctuations.
In the stone cave where Zhang Ling was, the green Feiyun Flag placed in the key node(阵眼: key nodes) suddenly became virtual, and directly turned into dense green runes, all submerged into the stone platform key node(阵眼: key nodes).
Suddenly, the entire stone platform was dyed emerald green, and with a loud bang, a huge green light beam(灵光: spiritual light) several feet wide shot out. This spiritual light was so powerful that it directly pierced the top of the stone cave.
At the same time, the ground also vibrated. Zhang Ling swept his divine sense and found that the ground was also part of the key node(阵眼: key nodes), which was a huge hexagonal stone plate, directly dragging him into the air.
After a few breaths, the stone plate rose to the top of the mountain and stopped moving. The stone plate was also covered by a thick layer of spiritual light. This is obviously the guardian light curtain of this small key node(阵眼: key nodes).
However, in his perception, the strength of this green light curtain is only equivalent to the protective罩(防护光罩: shield) on Feiyun City. If five or six high-level wild beasts besiege at the same time, it can last up to a quarter of an hour. No wonder they need these high-level cultivators to guard it.
Zhang Ling touched his chin and smiled, suddenly his face sank and looked outside. A group of gray-haired giant rats rushed in not far away, with hundreds of them. There are no high-level wild beasts among them. This kind of gray-haired giant rat is the most common kind of wild beast.
He clapped his hands, and two flying swords turned into azure light and entered the rat群(鼠群: group). In a moment, the rat群(鼠群: group) was wiped out by him.
Zhang Ling's face did not improve much, because in the divine sense perception, other types of wild beasts rushed from the southwest direction.
At this moment, the other eleven Golden Core cultivators who were guarding a small key node(阵眼: key nodes) like him were also mostly attacked by their respective wild beasts.
At the same moment, the sky south of Feiyun Island had turned dark and lightless, like the dark clouds before a storm. The ground was covered with piles of white bones, and the wind with negative energy swaying, and a fierce aura spread.
The dark clouds in the sky are insect cloud formed by a large number of Devouring Spirit Insects, buzzing loudly. The insect swarm chased the remaining beast swarm on the ground and continued to migrate towards Feiyun City.
At the speed of the insect cloud, it will reach Feiyun City in at most half an hour.
Suddenly, a large insect swarm in the forefront lit up with a white light and gradually swelled. In an instant, it turned into a ball of light with a diameter of fifty feet. With a loud bang, the light团(光团: ball) exploded directly. Countless white lights shot out like meteors and spread in all directions, instantly spreading hundreds of feet. A large area in the center of the light团(光团: ball) was instantly vaporized by the spirit虫群(灵虫群: insect swarm).
This eliminated tens of thousands of Devouring Spirit Insects at once.
At this time, after the light团(光团: ball) disappeared, there was a mass of rolling white clouds in the center, which was the Flowing Clouds transformed by Senior Brother Tian and others.
Senior Brother Tian and others inside were pale, and their aura was much weaker. This was caused by too much consumption of spiritual power in the body.
Among the twelve people, Senior Brother Tian was slightly better. This person opened his mouth and wanted to say something. A voice came from the side.
"You have consumed a lot, retreat. It is considered a great achievement to destroy a insect nest. Go back and tell Sun小子(孙小子: little Sun), I will lead the remaining insect nests in this group of Devouring Spirit Insects into the Flowing Cloud Great Formation. Let him prepare to destroy this group of fierce insects with the great formation at that time." The voice was from Senior Uncle Lu, but the figure of this Nascent Soul cultivator was not seen.
After hearing this voice transmission, Senior Brother Tian and others looked at the center of the insect nest. It was dark there, but from time to time large swaths of Devouring Spirit Insects would be eliminated, and constantly there were incomplete insect corpses falling down.
"Senior brother, are we going to leave Senior Uncle and return like this?" A beautiful woman in a white dress among the few looked at the boundless insect sea and said with a very bad expression.
"Let's go, my spiritual power consumption is not small, it is already at the end of the crossbow, staying here will not help Senior Uncle. Junior sister does not need to worry, Senior Uncle's strength is high and he has his own sense of propriety." The red-faced Senior Brother Tian glanced at the junior brothers and sisters, and took them back to Feiyun City.
They had previously rushed into the insect cloud and fought for a while, and were almost trapped in it, and escaped with the help of the Flowing Cloud transformed by the Feiyun Flag.
When they fled a quarter of an hour ago, they met Senior Uncle Lu of the sect. After this Nascent Soul Senior Uncle came, they broke into the Devouring Spirit虫群(灵虫群: insect swarm) again and wantonly destroyed. With the Nascent Soul Senior Uncle leading, the Devouring Spirit Insects killed in a moment were as many as hundreds of thousands.
But the closer to the center of the insect cloud, the Devouring Spirit Insects encountered were not only those larvae, but also a large group of two-winged Devouring Spirit Insects.
These are all Devouring Spirit Insects that have been evolved once. Their bodies are hard and they devour spiritual power very quickly. All kinds of attacks will be devoured, and the power will be reduced by half out of thin air.
This is not the most terrifying. Deep into the insect sea, they also found several huge insect nests.
Like this kind of gregarious spirit insects, they generally have insect nests. The Devouring Spirit Insects are no exception. The insect nest is the core of the insect cloud. As long as the insect nest is defeated, most of the fierce insects will collapse by themselves.
But when they destroyed the insect nest, a large group of three-winged Devouring Spirit Insects emerged from it. These are the Devouring Spirit Insects that have undergone secondary evolution, and their strength is even stronger.
According to some ancient books, this is not the mature Devouring Spirit Insect.
However, a large number of three-winged Devouring Spirit Insects are already extremely terrifying. If it were not for the twelve of them united the Feiyun Flag, they would not have the chance to escape.
Finally, with the help of Senior Uncle Lu, they tried their best to destroy a insect nest. Now everyone's spiritual power consumption is too great, and they have no more power to fight, so they can only return.
