The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 181 The last level

Everyone sat together again in the maze safe house. Chu Xuanji said solemnly: "This should be the last level, and the exit is that door." Then, he pointed behind the opposite puppet. There is a door there, but it is closed now. Pan Chengfeng said: "From the beginning to now, I feel that it is a bit like the master here testing the successor." Tang Tongdao: "It is indeed like a teacher selecting students, and several students work on a problem together. See who can do it faster and better." After saying that, several people looked at Pan Chengfeng at the same time. Pan Chengfeng said: "Don't look at me like that, I really don't think much of the combined skills, if it is an emperor-level skill, I will consider it." Several people were speechless at the same time, and their tone was really big.

Chu Xuan Ji smiled and said, "Brother, you have just established your foundation in cultivation, so you are not in a hurry to find a fusion technique. If necessary, I can help you find a refining technique with fire attribute~" Pan Chengfeng's eyes lit up, and he said anxiously, "Are you serious, brother?" Chu Xuan Ji said, "Even if there are one or two fusion techniques on the market, it has nothing to do with us. They have long been targeted by the big sects. As for the refining technique, the big sects are not short of it, so most of them don't care.

Generally, it is the big families and some small and medium-sized sects that compete, so there is still a chance~" Pan Chengfeng said: "Then how do you know it is a fire-attributed technique?" Chu Xuanji smiled and said: "Before this trip, I just received news that a mysterious guy in Yancheng Auction House sent a copy of the Lianxu technique, and it is of fire attribute."

Pan Chengfeng stood up and said anxiously, "Brother, why didn't you tell me earlier? Is there still time? Let's finish the job and get out, don't delay." Chu Xuanji pressed her hands and said, "Don't worry, there is still half a year before the annual auction in Yancheng, there is still plenty of time." Tang Tong asked curiously, "Brother Chengfeng is not so concerned about the combined skills, but you are very anxious about the Lianxu skills. What's the matter?" Chu Xuanji said, "Brother is a wife-loving man~ He hasn't found his own skills yet, so he is thinking about his sister-in-law's skills. His sister-in-law has just become a god, so there is no need to worry too much." So that's it, everyone understood. There are not many people in the world of immortal cultivation who care so much about their Taoist partners. It is said that the evil emperor is an infatuated man, and he has only had one Taoist partner for many years.

Seeing everyone looking at him like this, Pan Chengfeng blushed and explained, "Everyone, it's not that I don't like this combined technique. It's just that I think this technique should be of wood attribute, which is not suitable for me." Chu Hao nodded and said, "Based on the current situation, it is indeed very likely to be a wood attribute technique." Tang Tong smiled and said, "Wood attribute techniques are the rarest! Brother Xuanji and I can practice them." Wu Xunjie said sullenly, "I can practice it too."

Chu Hao held it in for a long time, and finally said: "If I can't find other combined skills when I reach the Refining Void Realm, I can also switch to practicing wood-attributed skills." Okay, everyone can use it. Pan Chengfeng turned his head and looked at Master Wu, who asked in surprise: "Why are you looking at me like that? I can't practice wood-attributed skills."

Everyone was silent. Pan Chengfeng said, "Why think about that now? Let's solve the problem in front of us first. It's not certain whether it is of wood attribute or not." Chu Xuanji also laughed and said, "Indeed, let's discuss how to deal with the six puppets." Heiwu suddenly ran out again, sniffed, and meowed. Pan Chengfeng said, "Are you sure?" Heiwu sniffed again and meowed to confirm. Pan Chengfeng smiled and said, "That's perfect, it saves trouble in the future!" Pan Chengfeng said, "Heiwu said that he smelled a strong smell of crystal core, and it was a spiritual crystal core! I guess it's on these puppets!" Master Wu said, "Previously, puppeteers did like to use monster crystal cores as the energy source of puppets. The energy is sufficient and solid, and it is much better than the top-grade crystal beads."

Chu Xuanji was shocked and said solemnly: "So, among these puppets, at least one can use mental attacks? This is even more difficult!" Tang Tongdao: "Mental attacks are the most troublesome. They are invisible and I don't know how to dodge them. I can only rely on spiritual tools or my own mental power to resist them." Master Wu said: "My Xuanwu Formation can resist some mental attacks, but it consumes at most 3 layers of power. The remaining 7 layers will depend on you to resist them." Chu Xuanji said: "Three layers are already very good, but I don't know what level of mental attack this puppet is. If it is also at the level of refining emptiness, we will be in danger." Master Wu gritted his teeth and said: "I will also join the battle this time! If I control the Xuanwu Formation, I can resist two more layers of power! But I am only responsible for controlling the formation, and I still need you to fight."

Pan Chengfeng smiled and said, "Master Wu, don't worry. I will keep an eye on you." Everyone bowed to Master Wu and thanked him. He had already said that he would not participate in the battle. Being able to go on the field this time is already an extra contribution. How can everyone not show their appreciation? Chu Xuanji said, "If we can pass it smoothly this time, Shangguan He's share will be given to Master Wu. Is that okay with everyone?" Everyone nodded. Wu Xunjie hesitated for a while and nodded in agreement. Seeing that everyone had the same opinion, Chu Xuanji smiled and said, "Okay! As long as everyone works together, we can definitely pass this last level!" Pan Chengfeng smiled and said, "Okay, I'll treat everyone to animal meat. Everyone, take a good rest and adjust for a few days. We'll do it when you're well recovered!"

After eating the beast meat, everyone began to meditate and rest. Pan Chengfeng approached Chu Xuanji again. Chu Xuanji opened his eyes and helplessly said, "Brother, don't you need to rest?" Pan Chengfeng smiled and replied, "We are just getting started. You haven't moved around much. What are you resting for?" Chu Xuanji smiled and said, "Brother, you are really capable. The body cultivators do have amazing recovery abilities." Pan Chengfeng said, "I can be sure now, but I don't know who the other one is, or maybe more than one."

Chu Xuanji looked around and said, "Master Wu is impossible, but the others are possible. Hey, I'm glad that my brother trusts me so much." Pan Chengfeng said, "What are you talking about! We are sworn brothers, how could I not trust you?" Chu Xuanji said, "I hope we are just too suspicious. Have a good rest. We have to wait until we are done here before we talk about anything else."

Everyone rested for another three days. After Chu Hao's arm was closed by the forbidden formation, he bought the bone-growing pill from Chu Xuanji and took it. As long as the bones grew out, the flesh and blood would be easy. It was only three days, and Chu Hao's broken arm grew out completely like a gecko's tail.

Chu Xuanji saw that everyone was awake and said, "Now that everyone has recovered, let's prepare to break through." Everyone gathered around Chu Xuanji. Chu Xuanji looked at Master Wu and nodded. Master Wu said, "This Xuanwu formation of mine is called the Four Symbols Xuanwu Formation. It originally required at least 10 people to set up. After I simplified and improved it, and refined it with formation flags, although the power is only % of the original, it only takes at least four people to set up the formation. And you can also temporarily set the formation eye. The formation eye is not destroyed and the formation is not broken. The formation will not stop until the number of people is less than four."

Everyone nodded, and Master Wu continued, "This time, I plan to set up this formation with myself as the center. You all should be protected by the formation, with me as the center. Do not exceed 500 meters from me. My current mana can maintain this formation for at most a quarter of an hour. So everyone must do their best to destroy the puppets! Otherwise, once the formation is broken, everyone will be in danger."

Wu Xunjie hesitated and said, "Isn't a quarter of an hour too short? Moreover, the distance is 500 meters, which means that the puppets can reach us in an instant. We will have to fight in close combat at that time. How can we be the opponent of the virtual refining puppets in close combat? Moreover, these puppets are much stronger than the ones in the front yard before, and there is also a puppet with mental attack that is affecting us..."

Chu Xuanji interrupted, "I know what you are worried about, but is there a better way now? Master Wu has already gone, so don't hold back and get rid of the puppets as soon as possible. Even if you can't solve it, you have to help delay it and wait for other Taoist friends to solve their opponents before coming to support you." Chu Hao blamed himself, "It's all my fault! I didn't know how to judge people. If Shangguan He was still here, we would have a much better chance!" Pan Chengfeng smiled and said, "Brother Chu, don't blame yourself. I think it's a good thing that he's not here."

Everyone was confused and looked at Pan Chengfeng, wanting to hear his opinion. Pan Chengfeng pointed at the puppets opposite and said, "Didn't you notice? There are exactly six puppets. If there are seven of us, there might be seven puppets~" Tang Tong laughed and said, "Brother Chengfeng is really a wonderful person. Now that you mention it, I also think that it is a good thing that Shangguan He is not here." When everyone heard what Pan Chengfeng said, they all laughed, and the atmosphere instantly became much more relaxed.

Everyone stopped laughing, and Chu Xuanji said, "Among those present, I have the highest cultivation level, so I will try to quickly deal with the opponent, and then go to support you. I'm sure my younger brother will not be worse than me. Brother Tang, Brother Wu, and Brother Chu, if you have any hidden skills, use them. If you can't deal with the opponent, try to delay it. At least while the formation is still there, you have to delay your opponent. I have Qingxin Pills here, which can also resist some mental attacks. If you feel that you can't resist the mental attack, take this pill. You can resist for at least a dozen breaths."

Chu Xuanji finished speaking and distributed the pills to everyone, one pill for each person. This pill is not cheap. Pan Chengfeng has seen it in Wanbao Pavilion. One pill costs 200 top-grade crystal beads, which is almost as much as the Broken Mirror Pill. Now it can only resist a dozen breaths. If Chu Xuanji was not a master of alchemy, few people could afford it.

Everyone was ready, Master Wu was surrounded by everyone, and everyone jumped in and entered the puppet area. The six puppets all moved at once. Master Wu was about to activate the formation, but suddenly found that a barrier rose behind everyone! Master Wu shouted: "There is no way out! Everyone should fight! Formation up!" A light yellow light shield with a diameter of 1000 meters instantly enveloped several people, and a faint yellow light flashed on everyone. Chu Xuanji's face was serious, and he shouted: "Go!"
