My blind date failed, so I had to ascend the throne and become emperor.

Chapter 105 Breaking the Ancient Formation
night.

Hotel suite.

After practicing, Zhou Ping took a hot shower. His muscles were perfectly defined and his figure was tall and well-proportioned. If he had long black hair, he would definitely be a handsome young man in ancient times, and many girls would have fallen in love with him.

And as the Golden Body Indestructible Skill improves, the skin becomes more and more delicate like a baby's.

dong dong.

When I appreciate myself.

There was a knock on the door outside.

open the door.

It’s Jiangxia.

Looking at Zhou Ping, who was only wearing a bath towel, Jiang Xia blushed slightly, "I'll come back later."

"Need not."

"come in."

Go into the room.

Jiang Xia didn't dare look directly at Zhou Ping. She sat on the edge of the bed, lowered her head and said, "Zhou Ping, I didn't expect you to have broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, and even to the late Foundation Establishment stage. You must have been holding back during our last magic exchange."

Seeing Jiang Xia speaking cautiously.

Zhou Ping couldn't help but laugh, "Why, you think I'm in the late Foundation Establishment stage and you don't even dare to look at me?"

"No way."

Jiang Xia shook his head repeatedly.

Zhou Ping sat down next to Jiang Xia and immediately noticed that her face was tense and her tender white hands on her legs were constantly pinching. He moved a little closer, and Jiang Xia became even more nervous.

"to be honest."

"I'm not a foundation-building cultivator."

As soon as these words came out.

Jiang Xia raised his head instantly, his face full of surprise, "You, you are not in the foundation-building stage?"

"Correct."

"But, but during the day, you clearly suppressed Director Lei, but he had already become a Foundation Establishment cultivator!"

Zhou Ping smiled and said, "I just have a special technique. If I were really a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage, I would not only be able to suppress Lei Jiming."

Jiang Xia suddenly realized, but still felt incredible, "Even so, you are very strong."

Zhou Ping stared at Jiang Xia, then suddenly reached out and held her soft hands. "I have never told anyone about this. Only you and I know it. Miss Jiang, please keep it a secret for me."

"I, I'll keep it a secret."

Jiang Xia's cheeks flushed red with embarrassment, and she was so nervous that she couldn't speak clearly. Her body was tense to the extreme, for fear that Zhou Ping would take further action. She wouldn't know what to do then.

Fortunately, Zhou Ping quickly let go of his little hand.

As she breathed a sigh of relief, she said, "Zhou Ping, do you think Director Lei's words are credible?"

"What's that?"

"It's about him using the blood of a child to break the formation restriction."

Zhou Ping pondered, "It's hard to say. I've studied formations a lot. Children's blood represents pure yin and yang energy, and also contains vitality. It can indeed break certain formations. I don't know what the formation of the ancient artifact is, so it's hard to draw a conclusion. I'll have to wait until tomorrow to see it in person to find out."

Jiang Xia said happily, "Did you get the permission?"

Zhou Ping nodded. "I'm very interested in this antiquities excavation team. Spiritual energy doesn't appear out of thin air. It's similar to dark energy and dark matter, and it exists on Earth. In ancient times, Earth should have had a flourishing spiritual civilization. Even though it's gone now, these antiquities definitely still exist on Earth."

"It's just that due to the previous blockage of spiritual energy, these ancient pearls were covered in dust. Now that the spiritual energy environment has recovered, perhaps they will appear one by one in the world."

In fact, when he was on the spaceship and heard that there was a spiritual civilization in ancient times, he thought of the ancient mythological era on Earth.

Even a long-distance ship like the Taiyan Sect could not withstand the attack of a powerful person from the ancient mythological era. It is obvious that the power of the earth was very strong in the ancient mythological era.

If we can really find these relics from the ancient mythological era, we might be able to deal with the global crisis ten years from now.

However, it is not clear at present whether the antiquities encountered by the antiquities excavation team are relics from ancient times.

The two chatted for a while.

Jiang Xia stood up and left, but before leaving, she said shyly, "You just finished taking a shower, give me your underwear and socks, I'll wash them for you tomorrow."

Zhou Ping shook his head. "I only brought two sets of underwear with me when I came here. You can't wash them all. So, wash one set for me first, and then buy me a few more sets tomorrow. It looks like we'll be staying here for a while."

These are obviously things that girlfriends do.

Think of this.

Jiang Xia's cheeks flushed, but she nodded.

Go quickly to the door.

Zhou Ping looked at Jiang Xia's back, stretched out his hands to hug her waist, then stepped forward and pressed against her raised buttocks, smiling and saying, "Miss Jiang, why don't you stay tonight?"

Jiang Xia struggled a few times but couldn't break free. With a red face, he said, "No, let me go."

See this.

Zhou Ping was delighted, turned his body around, and leaned over to kiss Jiang Xia's red lips.

"Well……"

Jiang Xia froze in place, still holding Zhou Ping's underwear and socks tightly in his hands, but soon he couldn't help but close his eyes.

a long time.

Lip points.

Her dashing face was delicate and rosy. She raised her pink fist and punched Zhou Ping a few times, then left as if escaping.

Soon.

There was new message on Zhou Ping's phone.

"Bastard."

"I lost my first kiss, and you have a girlfriend and you're still thinking about me, woo woo."

"My bad. I'll go shopping with you to buy you a lipstick tomorrow."

"No, you have to compensate me with ten!"

"Okay, okay."

He comforted the heartbroken Jiang Xia and didn't go to bed until almost ten o'clock in the evening.

The next day.

Get up and wash up.

Zhou Ping knocked on Jiang Xia's door, but he ignored him, so he went to the antiquities excavation team first. Now that he had the authority, Director Lei no longer stopped him.

Cross the line of soldiers armed with guns.

Under the guidance of a staff member, he walked through the passage of the cave, turned around and around for about ten minutes, and came to a spacious cave hall more than 500 meters underground. There were many lights here, illuminating the entire cave hall like daylight.

Looking at the large number of stalagmites hanging down in front of me and the pools of water below.

Zhou Ping asked, "Where is Director Lei?"

The staff member replied, "We'll be doing underwater work below that pool. Captain Zhou, you're a cultivator, do you need to wear a diving suit?"

Zhou Ping waved his hand, "No need, find me a tent and I'll change my clothes."

"it is good."

There are many temporary tents nearby.

When he walked inside, he changed into the Jiaolong magic weapon battle suit.

Next.

He followed the staff and dived into the pool.

The pool is very deep.

And there is a clear water flow.

The staff explained over the radio channel, "This is the border between Yunnan and Guizhou. The underground waterway connects many places, so the water volume is quite high. You have to be careful not to be swept away by the current."

Zhou Ping nodded, "I understand."

However, even if he really rushed to other places, he was not worried. After all, as a cultivator, and with the dragon battle suit, he could rush out of the ground with his bare hands.

Along the bottom of the pool.

I swam for nearly half an hour.

The few of them arrived at another spacious cave hall.

It has to be said that there are quite a few such tunnels underground, and it is easy to get lost without a professional guide.

"Captain Zhou."

"I have received the notice from above. Since you are also involved, I hope you will not interfere with us at will."

See Zhou Ping.

Lei Jiming said lightly.

Zhou Ping shrugged and said, "Don't worry, I'm just taking a look."

"hope so."

Lei Jiming finished speaking and brought Zhou Ping to the site of the survey. "Since the third wave of psychic energy erupted, we have detected the fluctuations of the formation here with our instruments. Then, through accurate positioning, we found the formation inside the cave hall on the second floor."

He pointed to the cave wall in front of him.

Zhou Ping narrowed his eyes. When he came here, he sensed the strong fluctuations of the formation. He didn't expect that there was a formation underground. And judging from the coverage and fluctuations of the formation, the level was not low.

"Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, Nine Palaces and Eight Gates..."

"The formation before us should be one of the eight-gate formations in the Nine Palaces and Eight Gates."

Upon hearing this, Lei Jiming was surprised and asked, "Captain Zhou is also good at formations?"

Just verify the formation type.

The formation master of the antiquities excavation team spent more than a month on the whole process.

I didn't expect that this guy surnamed Zhou could tell the type at first sight.

“Just a little research.”

Zhou Ping said something casually and continued to check the formation.

The Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, the Nine Palaces and Eight Gates...are just types of formations within the general outline of formations. For example, the Five Elements formation can be derived into many types, and the Eight Gates formation is even more numerous.

His current formation level is that of a first-order perfect formation.

It's probably a basic type of formation.

A little more advanced and you won’t be able to tell.

After checking it back and forth several times, he frowned. So far, he could only see the eight-gate formation and could not see the others.

So he asked Lei Jiming to recruit the formation master from the antique excavation team.

These formation masters are all professors from the Taoist Academy.

If Jiang Xia were here, he would be able to recognize several professors.

A brief greeting and introduction.

Zhou Ping asked, "Seniors, how did you determine that the blood of a child could be used to break the formation?"

One of the professors, who was in his seventies, smiled and said, "Our abilities are average. We can only figure out the Eight Gates formation, so we don't know how to break it. However, during the excavation, we found some ancient artifacts, including jade fragments. The fragments contain records about formations. After analysis by experts in antiquities, we discovered that this is the Blood Gate formation, one of the Eight Gates."

"The Blood Gate Formation is derived from the Blood River Formation from the ancient mythological era, so it must be broken with blood. After years of baptism, the formation's power has faded. It can be broken bit by bit by using the blood of young boys and girls."

Another professor sighed, "Although I don't approve of using children's blood, we've tried every other method except this one, and none of them worked."

It involves formations from the ancient mythological era.

Zhou Ping didn't understand either, so he could only ask, "Can you let me see the remains of the jade pieces?"

"of course can!"

"Captain Zhou was able to determine the type of formation just by observing it for a moment. His level is probably even higher than that of us professors and experts. Let's study it together."

These words made Zhou Ping feel a little better about the professors.

It seems that they are not those conservative old guys.

……

Not many jade fragments were excavated, only a dozen or so.

Five of them were about the Blood Gate Formation. The text on them was hieroglyphics, which Zhou Ping could not understand at all. Fortunately, there were ancient Chinese experts and professors who analyzed them. Through these analyses, he learned some knowledge about the Blood Gate Formation.

This Blood Gate Formation is essentially a type of Nine Palaces and Eight Gates, except that it is entirely arranged using the blood of various exotic and rare beasts, with the purpose of suppressing some kind of ferocious beast.

[Detected the incompleteness of the ancient Blood Gate Formation]

[Should I spend 20 National Destiny Points to make up for it?]

When watching the analysis of the jade piece.

He opened the virtual box and a new font appeared on it.

This made Zhou Ping's eyes light up slightly.

National fortune points can even make up for incomplete formations, and their functions are really diverse.

He hesitated.

He gritted his teeth and chose to deduce.

After all, this formation is related to the ancient mythological era.

Wow.

Virtual Frame vibrates.

The 20 national fortune points were quickly used up.

[Deduction successful]

[You have obtained the ancient formation Blood Gate Formation]

receive!

boom.

A huge amount of information about the formation flooded into Zhou Ping's sea of ​​consciousness. Even with his pineal gland now having nearly 5,000 spiritual energy, he still felt dizzy.

It took a full two hours.

Only then did he completely absorb the ancient formation, the Blood Gate Formation.

call.

Finished sorting out the information.

A hint of helplessness appeared on the corner of his mouth.

I thought that hundreds of thousands of national fortune points would be enough for a long time, but I didn't expect that just one ancient-derived formation would consume 20!
"Captain Zhou, how is it? Can you figure out some of the tricks of the Blood Gate Formation?"

Professor Wei, who specializes in Taoist formations, asked.

The other experts and professors also looked at Zhou Ping.

to be frank.

When they used the blood of children to break the formation, they were also very nervous. After all, they couldn't accept it psychologically. But there was no other way. Apart from this method, all others were useless. Even with modern technology, they couldn't break the formation.

Zhou Ping walked out of the tent and came back to the front of the cave wall.

"Rest, Injure, Scene, Stop, Open, Shock, Life, Death... No matter how the Nine Palaces and Eight Gates change, they cannot escape their essence. Although the Blood Gate Formation before us is an evolution of the ancient Blood River Formation, it still adopts an eight-gate formation. However, some tricks were used in the arrangement of this Blood Gate Formation. The true gate of life is in the southeast."

"You're using children's blood to break it. While that's in the right direction, it's because you haven't found the escape route. As long as you find the escape route, you can break it with any blood you use."

talking.

He came to the southeast and after careful search, he found the center of the formation.

hum.

As the spiritual energy in the body is infused into the void.

A strong fluctuation immediately emanated from the center of the array, and then an ancient circular array appeared.

The experts and professors following behind were all surprised.

"Captain Zhou, awesome!"

"Yes, I didn't expect Captain Zhou to have such a great talent for formations. He was able to find the true core of the formation just by looking at the jade piece."

Ignore these people's flattery.

Zhou Ping sprinkled some blood on the center of the formation, and soon the circular formation plate absorbed the blood.

After a while.

Rumble~
It was as if the earth was shaking.

The entire cave wall underwent tremendous changes. A large amount of grass and trees grew wildly. In less than a few minutes, the dark cave hall turned into a world full of birdsong and flowers, as if entering another space.

"The formation is open!"

"Haha, great!"
