Chapter 185 They Want His Life
Zhou Ling's heart sank. At the beginning, she didn't think about the direction in which things would develop.
It was not until she saw the small porcelain bottle in the boy's hand that she realized that she had been thinking too simply.
This concealment formation was originally set up to prevent surrounding wild beasts and people who strayed in from disturbing Liu Zhen.
Things have developed to this point, and she doesn't know what words to use to describe it except feeling grateful.
People who like to pursue details and perfection in doing things will make almost every step perfect even if it is just a small hidden formation.
That's why, with so many people gathered together, the formation remained stable without revealing any trace.
These people didn't just come here to get some spiritual enlightenment.
They... they want to come and take Liu Zhen’s life!
Zhou Ling can be considered a monk who became a monk halfway through his career. Many children with spiritual roots and wisdom will be given intensive training after their spiritual roots are tested. What they learn since childhood is also related to the things in the world of immortal cultivation. So although they are young, they know a lot about the world of immortal cultivation, from the overall trend to the tiny spiritual plants, because they understand it early.
Unlike Zhou Ling, who entered Taoism at the age of seven, she initially tried hard to catch up with her fellow disciples. Later, after a year of seclusion, she finally caught up with the progress and also learned more divination skills. However, her understanding of the world of immortal cultivation was still not comprehensive enough.
When the master had time, he would tell her some little-known facts that were rarely mentioned but were actually very useful.
Zhou Ling has an unconventional mind and is the type of person who doesn't want to follow the ordinary path when necessary, so she listened to these little-known facts very seriously.
Among them, the thing that impressed her the most was that the master mentioned enlightenment and a very insidious magical weapon.
At that time, she had already become famous throughout the world of immortal cultivation through her own sudden enlightenment of the way of heaven, so when she heard the word "sudden enlightenment", she subconsciously pricked up her ears and listened carefully.
The master said that many monks will never have the opportunity to achieve sudden enlightenment in their entire lives, but all the monks in this world who have successfully advanced to the state of incarnation have experienced sudden enlightenment.
Therefore, rumors have arisen that for cultivators to cultivate immortality, enlightenment is actually an indispensable link. If some people never have such an opportunity in their lifetime, then it is feasible to take some crooked paths and rob others of their enlightenment energy for their own use. This can help improve their own cultivation and make future practice smoother.
A rumor spreads from one person to ten people, and from ten to a hundred people. Over time, as more and more people believe it, no one remembers that it was just a rumor at the beginning.
No one knew who created the first such insane magical weapon. When the first monk was killed by others because of his sudden enlightenment, the situation was already irreversible.
It is that small porcelain bottle, which actually contains an enhanced version of the formation for absorbing spiritual energy.
He cannot absorb the spiritual power of ordinary people. Only those who are in the process of enlightenment and are at their most vulnerable period. The spiritual energy gathered around their bodies and their own spiritual power can trigger this formation.
Once the formation is activated, in just a short moment, it can absorb almost all the spiritual energy around the person, as well as his own spiritual power mixed with his essence and blood.
It sounds scary, and it is scary.
The information her master gave her contained a drawing that looked like a human figure. It was so lifelike, like a photograph. There was no need to guess, it must have been the work of her master.
Now, in front of Zhou Ling, she had seen no less than ten people taking out similar small porcelain bottles from their storage bags or other storage containers.
Taking a small step back, Zhou Ling felt his scalp tingling and his whole body running cold.
These people actually came to rob and kill people so blatantly.
More and more people gathered here, but because of the increasing number of people, the abnormal fluctuations of spiritual energy in the air, which were originally disturbed by the existence of the concealment formation, were also concealed. Although Zhou Ling and his companions were still in the center of danger, they had a sense of darkness under the lamp and were well hidden.
Some people have already stepped into the formation, but because the formation has been activated, the only hidden auras are Zhou Ling, Zhou Li, and Liu Zhen.
So they still couldn't see anything unusual, but just followed the faint sensation in the air, trying to find the person who had an epiphany here, put him in a bottle, and use him for their own benefit.
Zhou Ling didn't even dare to step on the ground, for fear of making the sound of broken branches and leaves and attracting people's attention.
I came back floating in the air and found that although my mother was practicing, she was not really concentrating on it. Instead, she was always observing the movements outside.
Noticing Zhou Ling approaching, she opened her eyes, quickly sat up, and waved to her daughter.
"The spiritual energy is rich, come quickly, you can get twice the result with half the effort!"
Daily use is brief and concise, and is embellished with words.
Zhou Ling looked at her mother who was full of joy, pulled the corners of her mouth, and revealed a smile that was uglier than crying.
"No, we can't repair it. There are people everywhere outside. It won't be long before they find their way here."
Zhou Ling did not hide anything and told her mother everything about the people and things she saw outside.
Although their concealment formation is very effective, it is actually just an enhanced version of the invisibility spell. It can conceal all auras while making one invisible. But in the final analysis, this formation is just about concealment.
It can only deceive other people's consciousness and senses, but it cannot deceive their own existence, which is a real fact.
The eyes cannot see it, and the consciousness cannot perceive it, but if you walk close to it and reach out and touch it, you can feel it!
If you stay where you are and wait to be bumped into or hit, then you won't be able to escape even if you want to.
There are so many people outside, and almost everyone has a small porcelain bottle in their hands. If they find the flaw in the formation and find out where Liu Zhen really is, wouldn't his life be gone in an instant?
We have sent the Buddha to the west and set up the formation. There is no reason to let go now and let his life and death be determined by fate, and his wealth and honor will be in the hands of God.
Zhou Li became nervous when he heard that, and after using his mental power to check, he found that it was indeed the case.
"God."
After a little thought, she came up with a solution.
"Flying into the air can help us avoid being searched by the group of people on the other side, but enlightenment can take a few hours, a few days, or even a few months. If it takes too long, we can't stay in the air forever."
Zhou Lingchou's little face was almost wrinkled into a ball. Whether it was going into the air or into the ground, she could actually do it by relying on Taoism. The only thing was how long Liu Zhen's enlightenment would last this time.
If the time is short, she can still hold on, but if it is long, no matter how strong her spiritual power reserves are or how timely she takes spiritual replenishing pills, it will not be able to keep up with the continuous consumption.
"Don't worry, Ling'er, it's on the tree!"
The brains of the mother and daughter are almost complementary. If one brain is lacking, the other brain will work faster.
Sometimes, Zhou Ling is the think tank of their small team, and sometimes, the think tank's brain short-circuits, and mother will take the opportunity to become the idea expert of this small team.
