Chapter 690
The immortals at the top of the hills were looking at Wu Qi, but he paid them no heed .
He gave the huge chasm a quick glance, then slowly closed his eyes and performed a hand incantation gesture before pointing at his eyes while intoning a strange spell under his breath . The clear sky suddenly darkened; cold winds kept blowing down from above as sand and dust swirled in the void . Whirlwinds that were about a foot high wheeled rapidly around him, throwing leaves and grass into the air .
King Yang Qiu looked approvingly at Wu Qi, and the military officers standing next to him were exchanging glances in shock . He was indeed a freak who cultivated magic and fleshly body at the same time! According to rumors, of so many kings and dignitaries of Great Yu, only a few of the oldest kings now had experts like him serving them, and all of them were the supreme experts in Great Yu . But now, King Yang Qiu had found himself such a freak as well!
Unconsciously, all the military officers and Oracles around King Yang Qiu had their backs straightened up . It was too valuable for King Yang Qiu to be able to find someone like this to serve him . Only his confidants knew that even at the top-level of Great Yu, there were constant struggles for power among the kings which were unknown to the outsiders . In fact, the dispute between King Yang Qiu and his brothers never stopped .
"I must do whatever it takes to get him to improve his cultivation base quickly, even if it drains me of all the resources I have at hand!" King Yang Qiu clenched his fists and made up his mind . But at the same time, he felt a little headache . The fact that Wu Qi was cultivating both magic and fleshly body at the same time was likely to become known to the others in no time . Although he had decided to help him as much as he could, some people were going to do everything they could to kill Wu Qi .
A murderous gleam flashed in his eyes . King Yang Qiu was unmoved in the face of those immortals' provocation, but now, he had crushed one of his teeth . Warm blood soon filled his mouth; he slowly swallowed the shattered tooth with the blood before murmuring, "All of you are wrong, and I am right! I'll stop you from committing foolish acts!"
Streams of thick, grayish white air plunged into Wu Qi's body like some flood dragons . Amidst the shrill howling of ghosts, he slowly opened his eyes . His eyes had turned gray, and his pupils were replaced by two tiny ghost heads . Two extremely fine and weak, grayish white rays shot out of the ghost heads, traveling thousands of miles through the faint fog that blanketed the chasm ahead .
This was one of the eye techniques of the Directorate of Celestials, the Eye of the Thousand Ghosts, which gathered the power of the ghosts into the wielder's eyes, allowing him to see through all the energy pulses and energy flows, including those in the underground energy veins . When it was cultivated to the mastery level, the wielder could even look into the yellow springs . Legends had it that someone cultivated this technique to an unimaginable level, and when he opened his eyes to look at the ground, he actually saw the ghosts struggling and roaring in the wheel of transmigration beneath the yellow springs .
Wu Qi did not cultivate this technique to a very advanced level . It was only two years or so since he began cultivating all sorts of magic he obtained from the Directorate of Celestials, and he simply did not have enough spare time to practice them . However, with his Chaotic Divine Eyes as the foundation, he could push this technique to a very powerful level .
Through the two tiny gray rays, the faint fog deliberately produced by the immortals in the chasm could no longer block Wu Qi's view . In the blink of an eye, he could see everything clearly in the chasm, which stretched for thousands of miles .
The map King Yang Qiu used was also a very special treasure, and it allowed him to spy on the enemy's movements from hundreds of miles away . But, its power was limited, and with just the fog, the immortals of the alliance were able to effectively interfere with its surveillance . It was not until Wu Qi used the Eye of the Thousand Ghost to look at the chasm that he realized there was a significant difference between what he saw on the map and what he saw inside .
Right in the middle of the chasm, a circle of twelve mountains, each standing a hundred miles tall, surrounded a small lake and some magnificent pavilions built around it . These mountains were hidden in a very special way . They were actually being compressed by someone into twelve beautiful artificial hills, no more than one hundred feet high each!
Outside these twelve mountains was another circle of 108 hills, each standing sixty-four miles tall . They corresponded to the thirty-six stars of the Celestial Dippers, and the seventy-two stars of the Nether Evils . They were constantly attracting the star power down from the sky, using it to conjure the true forms of the 108 Celestial Lords . All sorts of spirit beasts, such as flood dragon, Pixiu, Qilin, python, bear, wolf, and so on were wheeling and roaring above them . As these spirit beats were conjured with the star power and their bodies carried a trace of the Celestial Lords' divine power, once they were activated, they would be able to unleash an incredible power .
The Celestial Lords of the Celestial Dippers and Nether Evils were the leaders of all Celestial Lords conferred by the Heaven, each of whom possessed very strong divine abilities and power . Legend had it that the Formation of the Celestial Dippers and Nether Devils built outside the Heaven was so powerful that it could trap even the strongest Primordial Immortal . And now, here in this chasm, the formation that Wu Qi saw was actually attracting a trace of these Celestial Lord's divine power! In other words, its power was by no means insignificant! Although it was unlikely that it could trap a Primordial Immortal, it could easily trap hundreds of Gold Immortals .
The 108 hills were also concealed by someone with a divine ability . They looked just like lumps of dirt scattered randomly across the ground, and there were even some ordinary-looking cottages and houses built beside them to divert unwanted attention . Apparently, the immortal who constructed this formation harbored very evil intentions, for everything he did seemed to indicate that his sole purpose was to lure more people into the formation and kill them!
Beyond these two circles of mountains and hills were the 36,000 rocky hills that Wu Qi had seen on King Yang Qiu's map, each a thousand miles high . Similarly, they were all corresponding to the stars in the sky, and each was guarded by an itinerant cultivator whose cultivation base was at the Nascent Soul realm or above, while the most important rocky hills were guarded by Heaven Immortals or above .
On the 36,000 rocky hills in this formation alone were 1,080 immortals guarding the formation bases .
