Hide in the Banished Palace and Level Up To A Big Boss Chapter 427 – The Demon Refining Tower

The greatest hope of restoring the formation was still with the patriarch.

Even for soul formation experts like them, the formations and restrictions they had were at best used to deal with demons whose cultivation levels were lower than their own.

They could not even defend against their attacks.

What’s more, they had to protect a formation covering the entire Xuantian Sect.

This formation had to be able to operate on its own.

It was unfathomable.

With their strength, they could not even imagine it.

They might be able to think of a way to find the patriarch.

Or they could wait for a word from the patriarch.

They did not need the sect-protecting formation, as long as he was there.

After suffering the loss of the patriarch’s absence from the sect’s formation, these elders started to ponder even harder.

An elder entered the forbidden area.

The others followed.

“We could get more information from the patriarch!”

“Many of the array bases in the forbidden area are damaged, and those that can be moved have already been moved. The others can’t be moved, and we don’t understand how those array bases are set up. Otherwise, our sect protecting grand array can still think of a way.”

“Our cultivation base has encountered a bottleneck. It would be good if the Patriarch could give us some pointers.”

“I’m just going to get acquainted with the Patriarch.”

“Let’s see where you are hiding. I’ll have a chat with you when I have the chance!”

The Patriarchs entered the Forbidden Area with their thoughts.

After a long time in the Forbidden Area, two warriors of the first level of the semi-god realm left first because they could not stand the erosion of time.

The other warriors went into the depths of the Forbidden Area.

Pah!

A jade slip landed on the stone steps in front of them.

After colliding with the stone steps, a crisp and melodious sound was produced.

Hmm?

The elders looked at each other.

“The Jade Slip, who threw it out?”

One of the elders asked.

“You must be an idiot!”

The other elder went forward and picked up the jade slip, carefully probing it with his divine sense.

Then, his face was filled with astonishment.

“What’s wrong, Elder Chen?”

“Has elder Chen gone mad?”

“What’s on the jade slip?”

Driven by curiosity, the other elders sent their divine senses into the jade slip one after another.

Only after a long while did the elders come back to their senses.

“What a powerful array formation!”

“If such an array formation is used in a battle with the Demon Clans…”

Treasure!

An incredible treasure.

Sure enough, the things that the ancestor used were different.

A jade slip meant an extra life.

Pah~

A crisp sound rang out.

Another jade slip appeared on the stone steps.

The elder who woke up immediately rushed towards the jade slip and picked it up in his hand as if it was a treasure.

Then, he raised his head and his eyes widened.

On the stone steps in front

No, the path ahead was filled with jade slips.

The jade slips were like snowflakes as they covered the path ahead.

“Look, there are so many jade slips ahead. The stone carvings over there also seem to be array runes.”

Elder Chen came to his senses and took a deep breath.

Da ~

Another jade slip fell from the sky.

The jade slip fell onto the pile of jade slips with a muffled sound.

“A gift from the ancestor!”

An elder strode forward and waved his hand. He took the jade slip on the ground and quickly put it into his storage bag.

“A bunch of hypocrites!”

Sou ~

The other elders didn’t want to fall behind.

They quickly collected the jade slips.

They didn’t even let go of the stone walls, jade walls, jade steles filled with runes, tiles, and wooden blocks on both sides.

“The old ancestor is so clever! It was as if he knew what we were going to ask!”

“If these jade slips can be combined with the time, they will form an incredible array.”

An elder sent his divine sense into the jade slips he had picked up.

The array formations within each jade slip were exquisitely arranged. As long as these array formations were released and connected to other array formations, they would be able to form even more powerful array formations.

“No matter how I look at it, I feel like these array formations aren’t what the ancestor wanted!”

PA ~

As he spoke, another jade slip fell from the sky.

In the depths of the Forbidden Area, Li Mu stared at the incomplete boundary stele in front of him and shook his head.

He had repaired it many times, but he still couldn’t succeed.

There weren’t many jade slips left in his storage.

He even used all the things in the Forbidden Area that could be engraved with runes as the foundation material for the formation.

“With the ability of the Patriarch of the Xuantian Sect, it’s normal for him to use the formation to create a small world. What he could not figure out was how time and the rules of life operate in the formation?”

The spatial formation was simple.

The spatial and time formation was more difficult.

Above the two, there were the rules of life and death and the Heavenly Dao. It was unimaginable.

If he had not seen the demon-slaying land, Li Mu would not believe that it was real.

The demon-slaying land had all kinds of rules. Furthermore, it formed its world.

Especially the flow of time after entering the void.

Not only that, but the demon-slaying land would also appear every thousand years to absorb vitality to replenish energy.

This was similar to the great formation of the Xuantian Sect. After encountering an attack, if too much vitality was consumed, it would automatically absorb vitality.

Currently, Li Mu could only control the Lightning rules.

In a world that relied on formations, the only thing that could be played well was lightning.

The problem was that lightning could be played well.

However, the space could not withstand the lightning.

In short, the space that was being set up was too weak.

At most, it could contain more things and was stronger than an ordinary storage bag.

“Forget it, I’ll make a storage bag! If I can make a storage bag that is several times larger than an ordinary storage bag and has time to flow, it’s not bad either.”

I’ll do it as soon as I think about it.

Especially when I think about making a storage bag with time flowing through it and planting medicinal herbs in it, it won’t be long before I can harvest mature medicinal herbs that are tens of thousands of years old and hundreds of thousands of years old. It wouldn’t be too bad either.

Even though he didn’t lack medicinal herbs right now.

If I can make it, I’ll have a great sense of accomplishment.

At least I’ll be one step closer to creating a small world.

Thinking of this, Li Mu immersed himself in studying runes.

Before the study, he silently signed a dao.

Two days later, Li Mu had no choice but to wake up.

The jade slip and jade bracelet in his hand, the things that could be used to carve runes were all gone.

His divine sense shifted.

He discovered that not far behind him stood the elders of the Xuantian Sect.

“Where’s the jade slip that I threw out?”

At this moment, Li Mu realized that not only was the jade slip that he threw out was gone but the stone tablet was also gone.

Even the tile-shaped stone steps and stone tablets that were used to carve runes were gone.

Behind him, everything with runes had disappeared.

It turned out that there was a long-bearded elder standing beside the huge stone tablet, smiling as he stared at his position.

The white-haired old man sitting cross-legged on the stone steps craned his neck as if he was waiting for him to throw out another mouthful of rice.

Li Mu felt sick in his heart.

What did he take him for?

“Do you have any jade slips? Send me some.”

“Yes, Patriarch. There are plenty of jade slips!”

Elder Chen was the first to react. He took out a large piece of jade slip from his storage bag and threw it not far behind Li Mu.

Whoosh

The other elders immediately threw out the empty jade slips.

Because of the barrier of the array formation, these jade slips could only land outside the array formation.

“Patriarch, do you want the stone tablet, jade token, jade bracelet, and other things?”

“Do you have them?”

“Yes!”

Hualala ~

Another pile of things was thrown outside the array formation.

“Patriarch, wait a moment, we’ll go out to retrieve them.”

Sou ~

The few elders said as they disappeared.

When they returned, they brought with them jade slips that were filled with storage bags.

Very soon, the array formation was filled with all sorts of materials.

Li Mu kept the jade slips and was about to immerse himself in the study of runes again when he suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the Chaotic Sea.

“Is it the Demon Refining Tower?”

A wave of panic surged into Li Mu’s heart.
