With an example in front of him, all kinds of jade slips came to Di Jiu next, and after an hour, Di Jiu reluctantly closed up his stall.
Apart from the broken jade slip of the God Forging Technique that he had collected for the first time, he had not received a single jade slip of value in this one hour.
He had collected a large pile of refinement jade slips, none of which he could look at. Many of them were so rubbish that he could have written them himself.
As for jade slips of spell techniques and the like, Di Jiu had also seen many of them, and none of them caught his eye.
This was understandable, good spell techniques were all life-preserving things for a cultivator, unless, like that Foundation Establishment cultivator, he was really eager to cross over into the Golden Dan. Moreover, the God Forging Jade Slip that that cultivator took out was not a magic technique either. Otherwise, there was no one who would take out the jade slips of their suppressed spell techniques.
“Li Can from the Changtian Continent has met Fellow Daoist, I wonder what is your name?” Seeing Di Jiu closing his stall, the cultivator of the second level of Yuan Soul walked up to Di Jiu and cupped his fist in greeting.
During his own stall, this cultivator of the second level of Yuan-Soul did not organize people to attack this ancient sect’s great formation, nor did he stop Di Jiu from setting up his stall, which gave Ninth some good feelings. He also clasped his fist and said, “Di Jiu, a scattered cultivator from the Extreme Night Continent.”
“I have seen that Daoist Dee’s understanding of the Dao of Formation is remarkable, I wonder if Daoist Dee can join us in attacking this ancient clan protection formation? If Daoist Dee is willing, I am willing to hand over this command position and let Daoist Dee command everyone to attack the protective formation together.” Li Can spoke in a warm tone and his words were extremely polite.
Di Jiu understood that this was because the other party saw that his formation dao was remarkable, and that was why he had come to seek his help.
In fact, he also planned to go inside this ancient sect to take a look, but he did not intend to lead this matter.
If it was before, Di Jiu might have taken the lead. As he knew more and understood more, the more he knew how terrifying these ancient sects were.
Don’t look at the fact that the ancient sect in this Heavenly Curtain Ruins had been extinct for an unknown amount of time now, but it didn’t mean that this sect didn’t have people in it. There was no telling how many realms and interfaces in the vast universe, and with the ancient clan here destroyed, an knew that there were no strong people from this clan walking out?
Destroying someone’s clan’s protective formation was a great revenge. The reason why Qi Zhijian of the Qi Family Merchant House dared to hit the protective formation of the Star River Sect, that was because he simply did not put the Star River Sect in his eyes, and even went with the idea of going to destroy the Star River Sect. It just didn’t occur to him that a Yuan-Soul powerhouse had come out of the Star River Sect’s gate and ended up being besieged and losing an arm.
In fact, this matter did not end there, once the Star River Sect emerged as a top-level powerhouse, it would definitely not spare the Qi Family Merchant House. Likewise, if a strong person from the Qi Family Merchant House returned, they would just as likely take the opportunity to completely wipe out the Xinghe Sect.
So it was fine to get rich and help out, but it was not fine to ask him to take the lead.
“Fellow Daoist Li, I admire your previous arrangement that is like the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. I only know a little bit about formation dao, if Daoist Li does not mind, I hope that Daoist Li will continue to host this attack, and I will a*sist from there, just spilling some formation flags.” Di Jiu said with a smile on his face.
“Fellow Daoist Di, your cultivation level is the highest ……”
Not waiting for Li Can to finish his words, Di Jiu waved his hand and said, “Fellow Daoist Li, we were not familiar with each other before and I was swindling you. Now that we are considered friends, I will tell you the truth, my cultivation level is lower than yours.”
Li Can actually did not want to preside over this matter, who made his cultivation level the highest here, he could not justify not presiding over it. Now that Di Jiu said that his cultivation level was lower than his, there was nothing he could do about it. He did not suspect that Di Jiu was telling lies, Di Jiu looked extremely young, in this current cultivation world where resources were scarce, it was actually very difficult to cross over to the Yuan Soul within a hundred years old. As for Di Jiu’s words about Void God, he didn’t take them seriously at all.
“Since that’s the case, then I’ll be polite.” Li Can finished speaking and then cupped his fist to the many cultivators, “Fellow Daoists, this ancient sect has existed here for who knows how long, I reckon it would be difficult to break this sect’s protective formation without a few months. Now that Daoist Daoist Di Jiu is proficient in formation dao, join hands with me to break this protective formation, everyone’s attacks will follow Daoist Daoist Di Jiu’s formation flag.”
Hearing Li Can’s words, almost all the cultivators answered in unison.
Di Jiu was also helpless, he wanted to enter this ancient sect to gain benefits, so he could only let Li Can do as he said.
“Fellow Daoist Di, can we start now?” After Li Can finished speaking, he then turned his gaze towards Di Jiu.
Di Jiu clasped his fist, “This protective formation is at least a rank nine protective formation, I will observe it first before I make my move.”
“Good, we’ll listen to Fellow Daoist Di.” Li Can did not hesitate to put his hat on Di Jiu’s head.
These old b*****ds are really shrewd, anyway, no matter what you say, I can only be considered an accessory at most. Di Jiu’s divine thoughts penetrated in before the protective formation, pouncing on the various formation bases of this ninth-grade protective formation and the location of the formation centre.
Most of the cultivators who were able to enter the canopy were the best, except for a very small number of people. Di Jiu studied this protective formation with his eyes closed, no one was in a hurry, all of them waited quietly on the side, and some even started to cultivate.
Everyone understood that, don’t look at how many of them were here, but the tallest among them was only at the early stage of the Yuan Soul. Facing a clan’s ninth level protective formation, if there was no one proficient in the formation dao to lead the way, or if they attacked continuously for a year, they might not be able to open this protective formation.
The time taken for the canopy to open was not fixed, the longest time was nearly three years, but the shortest time was just under a year before it closed.
It took a year to attack a protective formation, so maybe they hadn’t opened this protective formation by the time the canopy closed.
So Di Jiu took the time to study this protective formation and no one said anything at all.
After only a few days had pa*sed, Di Jiu opened his eyes and stood up.
“Brother Di, have you made any gains?” Li Can had been keeping an eye on Di Jiu, and as soon as Di Jiu got up, he hurried up to ask.
Di Jiu nodded, “It’s ready, everyone, watch my formation flag attack.”
Li Can hurriedly stepped forward and said loudly, “Everyone see where Daoist Di’s formation flag falls, attack wherever it falls.”
Di Jiu grabbed out a handful of formation flags and called out Shu Di at the same time.
“Fellow Daoist actually has this kind of tree spirit, it’s really good luck.” Seeing Di Jiu call out the tree brother, Li Can gave a tsk and sighed in admiration.
Di Jiu didn’t reply and directly threw out the first formation flag. He called out Shu Di only to prepare that when the protective formation was opened later, Shu Di would also go and grab something. Now that he had called out Shu Di, everyone knew that Shu Di was his, otherwise someone would definitely make a move on him.
“Make a move!” As Di Jiu threw out the first formation flag, Li Can was the first to offer up his magic treasure and blast it down, while shouting loudly.
As Li Can’s magic treasure blasted down, thousands of magic treasures blasted down together, this kind of attack on the protective formation everyone was almost at full strength. Even if they held back, they were just reserving some of their best moves.
One by one, the formation flags were thrown down by Di Jiu, and one attack followed. The intensity of the attacks gave people the illusion that the space was shaking with the attacks.
“Boom boom boom!” Successive attacks landed on the outside of the protective formation, and these attacks kept switching positions.
Di Jiu clearly felt that this protective formation was still in the process of being repaired, and after each attack the formation would partially repair itself.
This made Di Jiu’s heart even hotter, this situation only meant one thing, that is, there were spirit veins buried underneath this protective formation.
Spiritual veins were much better than spirit stones for cultivation, and Di Jiu’s heart was even more eager to obtain such top quality spiritual veins.
On the twenty-first day, a clicking and cracking sound came from the clan, and all those who attacked were revived.
The hardest part of attacking a clan protective formation that could be repaired automatically was the initial stage, once you waited until a formation base was torn out of this protective formation, the formation would basically be blown apart.
At the same time as the first formation base of the formation was broken, Di Jiu suddenly had an epiphany, and at this moment many details of the formation dao merged in his mind. A brand new knowledge of the formation dao was formed, and many vague concepts suddenly became clear at this moment.
It was only logical that after the first formation base had been blown through, everyone should have picked up where they left off and continued the attack as fast as possible.
Now that Di Jiu had begun his epiphany of the formation dao, without someone to direct him, the attack abruptly stalled.
“He’s having an epiphany ……” Seeing that Di Jiu did not continue to move, some people could see that Di Jiu was having an epiphany.
Many people looked at Di Jiu enviously, and the same people were not quite satisfied anymore, “We have been attacking for almost a month with great difficulty, and we are about to open this protective formation, but actually stopped at this time, isn’t this making our previous efforts go to waste?”
In fact, this statement wasn’t completely wrong, this level 9 sect protective formation could have been repaired automatically, Di Jiu now had an epiphany, as long as they delayed long enough, this protective formation would be completely restored to the level of sturdiness before they started their attack. Although it could be blasted through again, that would waste a lot of time again.
“You mean that you can break this protective formation within a month without Brother Di’s intervention?” A mid-Jindan cultivator was very uncomfortable with this guy who was talking about the wind.
Li Can waved his hand and said, “Let’s wait for Daoist Brother Di to have an epiphany, without Daoist Brother Di, we probably won’t be able to break this protective formation for a few more months.”
Di Jiu however opened his eyes at this time, he gave a fist to Li Can and the Jindan cultivator who had spoken to him, “Thank you all for not disturbing me during my epiphany, now we can continue to attack this protective formation.”
He was delighted in his heart, for more than twenty days he had commanded the crowd to attack this ninth level protective formation, and the moment this ninth level protective formation was broken by a formation base, he crossed into the ranks of a seventh level king formation master.
