The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 507 Cheating is fun
Li Jingxiao, who was admiring the scenery, had actually spotted her when Yunxiao flew over.

I just don't know why this sister-in-law came to see me so late at night.

Moreover, Li Jingxiao had actually been eyeing Yunxiao and Bixiao for a long time.

The problem was that they didn't know where to start, since Yunxiao was a Great Luo Golden Immortal who had severed his three corpses.

Although the "Slaying Three Corpses" in the Investiture of the Gods is far less powerful than the "Slaying Three Corpses" in the prehistoric world.

But that still puts them among the top-tier fighters below the level of a saint.

The "slaying of the three corpses" in the Investiture of the Gods actually refers to the three worms of the upper corpse, the three worms of the middle corpse, and the three worms of the lower corpse, hence the name "three corpses and nine worms".

The corpse worm, named Peng Hou, lives inside a person's head.

It makes people ignorant, foolish, and stupid; simply put, it makes people brainless.

The corpse worm is named Pengzhi, and it resides in a person's chest.

It makes people entangled in all sorts of worries and delusions, unable to find peace.

Cultivating the Tao requires meditation; how can one cultivate if the mind is not calm?

The corpse worm, named Pengjiao, lives inside a person's abdomen.

It makes people crave sexual pleasure and food.

There are also sayings that the three corpses are called 'Green Maiden', 'White Maiden', and 'Blood Maiden'.

It is said that only by severing the three corpses can one become a Great Immortal.

But not everyone can sever these three corpses.

But since Yunxiao had severed her three corpses, in Li Jingxiao's understanding, this woman should no longer have romantic feelings or desires.

The second reason was the fear that if he also seduced Yunxiao, it would incur the displeasure of the Tongtian Sect Leader.

Bixiao and Yunxiao were both originally Taiyi Golden Immortals and Golden Immortals, respectively.

For the Master of Heaven, one more or one less wouldn't make a difference.

In any case, among the tens of thousands of disciples of the Jie Sect, there are quite a few Golden Immortals and Taiyi Golden Immortals.

But there are only six Great Luo Golden Immortals in the entire Jie Sect.

It would be strange if the Tongtian Sect Leader didn't get furious after stealing the heart of the most beloved woman in his life.

Therefore, although Li Jingxiao had feelings for Yunxiao and Bixiao, he never took any action.

But if Yunxiao were to deliver himself to his doorstep, Li Jingxiao would not let the opportunity to devour him slip by.

When the time comes, Yunxiao will plead with the sect leader himself, so even if there is punishment, it shouldn't be too severe.

Therefore, Li Jingxiao pretended not to know that Yunxiao was coming.

He was still holding the purple-gold wine gourd, and he poured several large mouthfuls of monkey spirit wine into his mouth.

Not only was she doing this on purpose for Yunxiao's benefit, but if she got angry while flirting with him, she could also use being drunk as an excuse.

In Yunxiao's eyes, Li Jingxiao had already drunk a lot of alcohol when he dined with the four siblings that evening.

Otherwise, Zhao Gongming wouldn't have been able to get drunk by him.

Now he's drinking alone here, you can easily guess he's not in a good mood.

Yunxiao recalled that Qiongxiao had always been willful and occasionally quite unruly.

He couldn't help but sigh, thinking to himself that his sister must have done something again, causing her husband to be drinking alone in silence.

However, Li Jingxiao drank alone and did not argue or quarrel with Qiongxiao.

This also made Yunxiao believe what Qiongxiao had said: that Li Jingxiao had a very good personality and was considerate and gentle.

As Yunxiao stepped into the pavilion, he composed himself and revealed a kind smile.

Looking at Li Jingxiao, who was still lying down, he asked, "Is the Master drinking alone in silence because he is troubled by the formation?"

Li Jingxiao was stunned after hearing this.

He doesn't call his brother-in-law "brother-in-law," but addresses him as "the real person."

Does this mean that this woman has other ideas?

But the hint wasn't very clear, so Li Jingxiao could only pretend not to notice Yunxiao's arrival and act as if he was surprised.

He hurriedly stood up, straightened his Taoist robe, and bowed to Yunxiao first.

Then, reeking of alcohol, he pretended to have slightly glazed eyes and nodded in agreement.

“Recently, pondering the matter of formations has indeed left me somewhat physically and mentally exhausted.”

Yunxiao nodded. When she was studying the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, she had also been troubled and worried for many years, just like Li Jingxiao.

However, every time I made a breakthrough in the study of formations, I was overjoyed and felt very happy.

Therefore, Yunxiao not only understood Li Jingxiao's troubles, but also felt that he needed to help him.

To avoid suffering as much as I did before achieving any real success in the art of formations.

Moreover, the thought that he had a sage master to consult, while his brother-in-law was just a wandering immortal, yet he possessed such cultivation, was quite striking.

It's clear that he's someone who has experienced hardship, and his talent might even surpass his knowledge.

Thinking about it this way, I suddenly felt a fondness for talent.

After thinking about it, I decided not to wait until tomorrow.

He took out a scroll from his sleeve.

The record on it contained the key points and experiences related to array formation cultivation that Yunxiao had just compiled and handed over to Li Jingxiao.

Li Jingxiao unfolded it and his face immediately lit up with joy.

Li Jingxiao understood the first half at a glance.

In Journey to the West, although he did not actively cultivate anything related to formations.

However, he learned some knowledge about formations from Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Lingbao Daozun.

Therefore, although Li Jingxiao's skill in formations was not high, he was no longer a novice.

Not to mention, when a sage preaches, if you can understand it, it will naturally be extraordinary.

Therefore, Li Jingxiao could understand most of Yunxiao's experience and understanding of formations.

But the latter part made Li Jingxiao frown as he continued reading, pondering the words in his mind.

I can still understand most of it.

Besides, there's a teacher right there with me, so I can ask questions if I don't understand something.

Li Jingxiao felt no embarrassment whatsoever.

Since Yunxiao was willing to share his insights and experiences with Li Jingxiao.

She naturally answered every question, but it took her a while to answer more than a dozen questions in a row.

But I was increasingly surprised, even shocked.

Yunxiao had no idea that Li Jingxiao had three Dao Ancestor-level figures in Journey to the West.

They were either his teachers or were willing to mentor him and preach to him.

Therefore, there is no lack of theory, nor is there a lack of insight and knowledge.

In just one night, Li Jingxiao had thoroughly mastered the knowledge on the scroll that Yunxiao had given him.

This shocked Yunxiao, but also made him somewhat envious of Li Jingxiao.

He secretly thought that his brother-in-law was indeed exceptionally talented, managing to figure it out and research it all by himself.

His skill and understanding of formations have reached such a profound level.

Suddenly, I felt a pang of envy for Qiongxiao.

Such a husband is priceless.

But at this moment, Yunxiao truly had no feelings for his children.

There was no romantic relationship between them.

The more powerful a cultivator is, the more perfect their state of mind, making it easier to move them with affection.

It's equivalent to breaking their Dao heart; the difficulty is extraordinary.

However, if it's a large-scale competition, it's still possible if the stakes are high enough.

But when Li Jingxiao thought about Yunxiao having 77 experience points, he thought that if he could bring her home and spend every day with her, that would be great.

The efficiency with which they gain experience points each day is almost twice that of Daji and the others.

Unfortunately, Qiongxiao is easy to fool, but Yunxiao is much harder to win over. However, it's not entirely hopeless, so Li Jingxiao temporarily suppresses his little crush on Yunxiao.

He began to focus on discussing formations with Yunxiao, and as they talked, Yunxiao, under Li Jingxiao's deliberate guidance, became increasingly engrossed in the conversation.

After a long silence and hesitation, he finally took out the diagram of the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.

Li Jingxiao was not going to stand on ceremony; as soon as he got his hands on the array diagram, he spread it out to examine it.

But after he had roughly, casually, and simply glanced at it...

Suddenly, a 'ding' sound rang in my mind.

Li Jingxiao quickly focused his attention on the game, and soon found himself in the 'Formation Pavilion' within the game.

I saw a newly added formation diagram for the 'Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation'.

In other words, the game directly replicated this formation in the game.

It's the same as refining weapons and alchemy.

Simply click on the formation diagram of the 'Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation'.

Countless pieces of knowledge related to this great formation flooded into his mind all at once.

If Li Jingxiao's cultivation level weren't high enough, and his innate talent and comprehension weren't also extremely high among his three-dimensional attributes...

Perhaps accepting this knowledge of formations will make his brain ache from being overwhelmed by countless pieces of information.

After a while, Li Jingxiao pretended to continue looking at the real array diagram on the jade table in the small pavilion.

He absorbed and digested the countless pieces of knowledge that the game imparted to him.

After receiving the data, I looked at the actual array diagram again and suddenly felt enlightened.

Moreover, Li Jingxiao quickly realized that in order to unleash the full power of the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, the 'Mixed Origin Golden Bucket' was necessary.

Otherwise, the power of this formation can only be unleashed at most 60%.

It might even be less than 60%.

The Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation can trap and confuse people, and can also remove the enemy's three flowers on the top of their head and five qi in their chest.

However, they were unable to capture or seize the enemy trapped within the formation.

Yang Jian used his divine power of "Transforming Heaven and Earth" to transform into a giant ten thousand feet tall and forcefully broke through the formation to escape.

The purpose of the Hunyuan Golden Bucket is to capture enemies trapped within the formation.

It would be much easier to reduce the enemy's cultivation level.

Thinking of this, Li Jingxiao suddenly felt a headache coming on.

But he took out his purple-gold wine gourd, drank some wine, and then got up and walked to a corner of the pavilion.

While gazing at the Three Immortal Islands under the night sky, Li Jingxiao was also pondering something.

Is it possible to replace the Hunyuan Golden Bucket, the key element of the formation, with other powerful magical artifacts?
As I pondered this, my thoughts drifted back to the 'Formation Pavilion' in the game.

Seeing that he was deep in thought, Yunxiao did not disturb him.

But in this woman's heart, her evaluation and expectations of Li Jingxiao increased by three points.

Since the Tongtian Sect Leader bestowed the array diagram, besides Yunxiao, Bixiao and Qiongxiao had also studied the array and the array diagram.

But as it turned out, the two sisters gave up very quickly.

According to the two of them, this formation was like a book written in the heavens, too difficult to understand.

Moreover, with Yunxiao as the eldest sister, the two younger sisters would subconsciously think about slacking off.

Later, out of curiosity, Zhao Gongming also borrowed it.

But Zhao Gongming couldn't do what Li Jingxiao did.

You gain something from watching it just once.

In the end, Zhao Gongming also gave up because he felt that the formation was too difficult.

What Yunxiao didn't know was that Li Jingxiao was the one who cheated.

Not only did he understand it, he also completely learned and mastered the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.

This is the benefit of cheating.
-
After much deliberation, Li Jingxiao decided to try using a magical artifact.

But he hesitated again about which magical artifact to use.

If the Chaos Bell were used instead of the Primordial Golden Cauldron, the power of this formation would definitely increase by several levels.

Even for Laozi or Yuanshi Tianzun, breaking the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation with the Chaos Bell as its core would not be so easy.

In the original story, Yuanshi Tianzun used a jade ruyi to freeze the golden light of the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.

Laozi used the Wind and Fire Futon to take away the Hunyuan Golden Bucket, thus breaking the formation.

It looks easy, but the fact that the two sages worked together demonstrates just how powerful this formation and the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron are.

However, the Chaos Bell is at least one level more powerful than the Primordial Golden Cauldron.

Taking away the Chaos Bell won't be so easy.

At least Li Jingxiao believed that Laozi's Wind and Fire Futon could not take away the Chaos Bell.

We might have to use the Tai Chi symbol.

Therefore, Li Jingxiao was unwilling to expose the Chaos Bell at all.

To avoid attracting the attention of a few sages, or even having them try every means to kill him.

Then they took the Chaos Bell, which had become ownerless.
-
The next-best magical treasures are the Haotian Mirror, the Vajra Bracelet, the Taiyi Five Smoke Silk, and the Taiji Talisman Seal.

With this in mind, Li Jingxiao quickly decided to use the Tai Chi talisman as the core of the formation.

Firstly, he was already able to refine this magical artifact in the weapon-refining workshop.

As long as you collect enough raw materials, you can refine as many as you want.

Moreover, after years of farming spirit stones and immortal stones, there are still quite a few stones left to strengthen treasures and upgrade them to immortal artifacts.

Each time a character's level reaches an integer value.

If you go to fight the BOSS again, the drop rate of Immortal Stones is still quite high.

Secondly, the +9 Immortal Artifact Taiji Seal can stabilize 'earth, water, wind, and fire', thus restraining the four elements of Taoist magic.

Although its power may not seem as great as the Hunyuan Golden Bucket, as long as you can control the people inside the formation, it will actually become easier to capture them.

Incidentally, suppressing the four elements of Daoist magic also makes it easier to trap people in the formation.

Once trapped in the formation, it becomes much easier to use the formation to weaken the enemy's cultivation.

To a certain extent, magical treasures like the Tai Chi Seal or the Haotian Mirror, which can restrain and immobilize opponents, can even serve as the core of the formation.

When used in conjunction with this formation, its power might be even greater than that of the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron.

After all, the greatest use of the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron is that it can "collect all things".

To put it simply, this treasure is a more powerful capture and storage magic weapon than the Purple Gold Red Gourd.

Even if the Immortal Binding Rope and Li Jingxiao's Yin-Yang Two Qi Gourd are used together, they can achieve the same effect.

However, in the world of Investiture of the Gods, the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron is a weapon of the rule level.

Basically, apart from saints, very few people can withstand the capturing golden light released by this magic weapon.

Once the enemy inside the formation is captured, reducing their cultivation level is equally simple.

After confirming that the Tai Chi talisman could indeed become the core of the formation, Li Jingxiao suddenly felt a strong urge to enter the game.

Let's try using the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation to trap Di Jun, who is hiding in the Zhou Tian Star Formation.

The bosses in the game, such as Di Jun, are not the real Di Jun.

Not only is their strength far inferior to that of a real person, but their intelligence and adaptability are also much worse.

In many instances, Li Jingxiao could still see that these bosses' thinking was actually quite rigid.

Finding a weakness is equivalent to finding a bug.

The difficulty of killing monsters has been reduced by several levels.

Li Jingxiao turned around, bowed to Yunxiao, and said in a pretentious manner.

"Please forgive me, elder sister. I have gained some insights and need to go to the museum to contemplate them."

Yunxiao was taken aback, then nodded in understanding.
