Chapter 284 The terrifying situation in the ghost realm, the more you know, the more confused you become
"wrong!"
"This ghost area with a radius of nearly 100 miles is not an ancient battlefield left by our ancestors."
Riding on the back of a giant golden eagle, Li Dingguo looked down at the ghost realm filled with gloomy energy below and soon discovered the difference.
Because of his solid foundation, his current mental strength is no worse than that of a peak level five warrior.
His divine sense covered the area with all his strength, and he could know the specific situation within a radius of ten miles.
This is the biggest difference between a level five expert and a level four practitioner.
Even for a master at the peak of level four, the range of his spiritual power when fully exerted is only three miles in radius at most.
But when one reaches the peak of level five, his divine consciousness can cover an area of ten miles.
Once you reach the peak of level six, it will be enough to cover an area of 100 miles in radius.
For other level five intermediate warriors, it is already very good if their spiritual thoughts can cover an area of five miles in radius, but it is far inferior to Li Dingguo.
Among the cultivators who came to investigate this ghost domain in the past, there should not have been any peak level five warriors. In addition, they were all investigating on the ground, where the dense Yin energy hindered their efforts and greatly weakened their spiritual powers. Therefore, they were unable to find out the specific situation of this ghost domain at all.
According to Li Dingguo's divine sense investigation, the evil ghosts in this large ghost domain were not transformed from dead humans at all.
There are not many of them, only less than a thousand.
Each of these ghosts has at least level three cultivation, and their bodies are pitch black as if they were real.
They are like the orcs in Western mythology, with very burly bodies, but with a bull's head on their necks!
The ghost in this ghost place is actually the minotaur in Western mythology, who turned into a minotaur after death!
This gave Li Dingguo a great shock!
"In this great world, what on earth happened in the ancient mythological period?"
"There are actually orc tribes like the Minotaur?"
I have to say, as my cultivation level improved rapidly, I encountered all kinds of bizarre things one after another.
In the past, I had discovered ancient innate artifacts and innate spiritual roots, and that was fine. It was still within the scope of my understanding.
Even though he had obtained a dragon egg a few days ago and had a companion beast, a seven-clawed golden dragon, it was still within Li Dingguo's acceptable range.
But now a group of bull-headed ghosts living in a ghost area suddenly appeared, which was beyond Li Dingguo's cognition.
Why did these orcs in Western mythology and legends die in the East?
He even had so much resentment that, taking advantage of the dense yin energy here, he turned into a bull-headed ghost after his death?
"call……"
Li Dingguo let out a long sigh, shook his head, and calmed his confused mind.
He discovered that among these less than a thousand bull-headed ghosts, there were three level five ghost kings, dozens of level four weird creatures, and the rest were all level three evil ghosts.
This kind of strength is comparable to that of a major force.
No wonder it is rumored that all practitioners who enter this ghost area will never return.
There is no doubt that all the cultivators who entered this ghost realm to find out what was going on were killed and devoured by these bull-headed ghosts.
Li Dingguo then made another discovery: this ghost area was actually shrouded by a yin-attributed formation!
If he was not a junior formation grandmaster, he would not be able to discover the true situation of this ghost domain.
Even a level six expert who doesn't understand formations cannot discover the true situation in this strange formation.
The reason why this formation is very strange is that Li Dingguo has discovered that this formation is not a formation from the Eastern world at all, but a third-level top-grade magic formation.
This magic circle also has functions such as illusion, spirit gathering, and defense.
The reason why Li Dingguo knew about this kind of magic circle in the Western world was because of the large number of treasure ships of the white Hu people he obtained during the naval battle of Lingshan Island.
Li Dingguo, who was very curious about Western magic arrays, often took time to study these magic arrays during his stay on Lingshan Island.
Although Li Dingguo was only a master of formations at that time, he was able to analyze and study the various magic formations on these treasure ships.
Later, he even spent a lot of time dismantling all the magic circles on the treasure ships of the Western white barbarians and replaced them with various corresponding five-element formations.
This is of course to improve the speed and performance of these treasure ships.
Li Dingguo personally tested those Western treasure ships several times. Generally speaking, the Western magic array is still inferior to the Eastern five elements array in all aspects.
Later, he was promoted to become a junior formation grandmaster, which further confirmed this.
After studying various Western magic circles, Li Dingguo is now not unfamiliar with these magic circles at all, and can set them up with ease.
But he was very surprised to see such an advanced magic circle in front of him, and it was an ancient magic circle.
According to his current preliminary estimate, the power of this ancient Western magic circle is not less than the small Five Elements Sky-covering Array he had set up, and its various performances are also very similar.
This is outrageous. He originally thought that the Western magic array system was far inferior to the Five Elements array system of the Eastern world.
The ancient magic circle that appeared here now completely changed Li Dingguo's cognition.
It turns out that it's not that the various magic circles on those Western treasure ships are not powerful, but that in today's world, the ancient Western magic circle system, like the Five Elements magic circle system in the East, has long been incomplete.
The formations used by major Eastern and Western powers in the world today are all incomplete versions completed by later formation masters.
For example, in the Ming Dynasty, the various formations set up by those great craftsmen and formation masters were far less powerful and capable than the perfect primary formation inheritance that Li Dingguo had obtained.
Li Dingguo's face became solemn, and he immediately gathered his mind and used his powerful spiritual power to carefully examine this ancient magic circle.
With his level as a primary formation grandmaster, it was not difficult for him to analyze this third-grade top-grade magic formation.
About half an hour later, he had completely understood this powerful ancient magic circle.
The fact that he was able to figure out the truth of this third-grade magic circle so quickly had a lot to do with the fact that Li Dingguo had spent a lot of time and effort studying the magic circles on the treasure ships some time ago.
It was precisely because of these reserves of knowledge about magic circles that Li Dingguo was able to clearly analyze this ancient Western magic circle and master it firmly.
"Dajin, this is the safe route map to enter this western magic circle. You should memorize it first."
Li Dingguo used his spiritual power to condense a map, and passed it to the golden eagle using his spiritual thoughts.
"Once you have memorized it, follow the safe route map, quietly enter this ancient magic circle, and launch surprise attacks on the three level five Bull-Headed Ghost Kings in turn."
"The first target to be killed is the ghost king who is at the peak of level 5."
"As long as we can kill this fifth-level peak bull-headed ghost in one fell swoop, the remaining bull-headed ghosts won't be a problem."
Li Dingguo was not bragging, he was telling the truth.
The sound wave attack emitted by the phantom of the Xuanhuang Chaos Bell, his martial arts form, can have a crushing effect on ghosts whose cultivation level is not as high as his.
Once the spirit and soul of the ghost are destroyed, they will die on the spot, and their bodies will dissipate and turn into soul beads.
So far, Li Dingguo has never obtained any level 5 soul beads, but today he should be able to get what he wants.
Li Dingguo's only worry about this surprise attack was: these bull-headed ghosts looked very powerful. Would they form an army to fight against him?
It's not impossible.
In ancient myths and legends, all living creatures have their own clan formation, which includes both protective and offensive formations.
Some powerful forces also have quite a few innate formations!
Li Dingguo is only a primary formation master now. Even though he has reached the level of a grandmaster, all the formations he has mastered are primary formations.
Those powerful advanced formations in the legend require practitioners to have a cultivation level that matches the formation in order to unleash their power.
Therefore, Li Dingguo would not be too worried whether these mysterious bull-headed ghosts would have advanced military formations that he could not defeat.
These minotaurs from ancient times turned into minotaurs after their death. Even if you understand military formations, at most you can't do anything to them.
It is difficult to use the military formation to surround and kill myself.
If I really can't defeat them, can't I use my familiarity with this ancient magic circle to escape in time?
"Chirp..."
After a while, the big golden eagle slowly circling in the sky had memorized the route map that Li Dingguo passed to it. It hissed softly, and began to dive down towards the dark and gloomy ghost area below at a steady pace.
It is a top-level spiritual bird with the peak cultivation level of level five. Its mental strength is not bad. It can control every aspect of its flight with great precision, and it moves slowly and leisurely in this ancient magic circle.
In just a short while, the big golden eagle had passed through this wonderful magic circle and entered the ghostland where it seemed pitch dark.
Under the spirit-gathering effect of this ancient magic circle, this large ghost domain is definitely the ghost domain with the most yin energy that Li Dingguo has ever seen.
If there is no divine sense to observe, in such a dark area, it is impossible to see anything more than ten feet ahead with the naked eye.
"Unfortunately, my life-defining divine weapon, the twelfth-grade Karma Fire Red Lotus, needs to be unsealed three times before it can exert its power to purify all negative auras."
Seeing the situation here, Li Dingguo couldn't help but think of his lotus platform artifact, and thought helplessly.
However, due to the limitation of his own insufficient luck, he had no other choice.
At least there is no way until the power of the Restoration Army develops to the point where it can enter the pass in large numbers.
He doesn't want to confront the Ming Dynasty head-on right now.
In that case, not only would they be unable to defeat the Ming Dynasty, which still had its power, but they would also be an advantage to the Later Jin Tartars who were eyeing them covetously.
If at that time, the Later Jin Tatars adopted the strategy of attacking the Fuxing Army from both sides together with the Ming Dynasty from behind, the Fuxing Army would suffer a disastrous defeat soon.
That kind of result was not what Li Dingguo wanted.
If the Fuxing Army wants to truly start the siege mode, it will need at least a few years of development and growth before it has the confidence to march into the country in large numbers.
At that time, we will first occupy a province within the Great Wall to completely solve the problem of insufficient population resources of the Fuxing Army. After vigorously developing for a few years, we can launch a full-scale attack.
