Chapter 1109 Dao Soldier Formation
Every brick and stone of the hall in front of him was engraved with a rune, and every pillar was inscribed with a rune. They were densely packed, echoing each other, and formed a huge rune array.
The styles of the runes were not too difficult to recognize. Most of them were used to reinforce the hall, making the entire Years Palace itself like a magical treasure, with a sturdiness that even surpassed some high-level magical treasures.
However, there were no restrictions or formations set up at the gate of the hall.
Han Li raised his hand and pushed, and the two heavy hall doors opened inward.
He stepped over the threshold, walked into the hall, and scanned around.
He saw that the interior space of the hall was much larger than he had imagined. Directly in front of him was a huge pentagonal stone platform, with a large base and a small top, looking somewhat like an upside-down square bucket on the ground.
The stone platform had five sides, and the materials used on each side seemed to be different, presenting the five colors of "gold, green, blue, red, and yellow" respectively. In the center of each was engraved a strange rune, which seemed to be an altar as well.
Looking from afar, Han Li saw a simple, ancient golden oil lamp placed on the platform at the top of the five-colored altar.
The lampstand of the golden oil lamp was slightly bent, somewhat like the stem of a lotus plant, and the lamp cup was like a lotus bud, with the petals spreading out in all directions. In the center stood a lotus-heart-like wick, from which shone dazzling golden light.
The golden light reflected from the golden lamp transformed into a hemispherical golden light shield, enveloping the entire altar.
Although Han Li was still some distance away from the altar, he could still feel the waves of time law emanating from the golden lamp. The rolling waves, like the tide crashing on the shore, made his mind stir slightly.
"Is this the Years God Lamp? What a powerful fluctuation of the law of time..."
At this moment, a voice of admiration sounded from the side, and Jiao San and others had also caught up and entered the hall.
Qimozi led Xiong Shan and five demons, walking at the end, also entered the hall.
As soon as he entered the Years Palace, Qimozi's eyes immediately fell on the Years God Lamp, staring at it fixedly.
After entering the hall, the Eagle-nosed Demon and others did not pay much attention to the Years God Lamp, but all looked at the five-colored altar, with a trace of fear flashing across their faces.
Just as everyone's eyes were attracted by the hall, a black and white light emerged from the ground outside the hall door, flew in silently, and disappeared into the ground inside the hall in a flash.
Han Li withdrew his gaze from the Years God Lamp, glanced at Qimozi and others, and his eyes sank slightly.
"Fellow Daoist Han, I have a suggestion, how about we temporarily put aside our disputes in this Years Palace?" At this time, Qimozi suddenly took the initiative to transmit his voice.
"That's exactly what I was thinking." Han Li replied without hesitation upon hearing this.
He didn't take Qimozi's suggestion too seriously, but he had also made up his mind that as long as the other party didn't make trouble, he wouldn't take the initiative to attack. After all, this hall was currently too chaotic, and everyone had their own thoughts. If he had a conflict with Qimozi first, it would naturally be harmful and not beneficial.
For Han Li, whether it was the enmity with Qimozi or his desire for the Years God Lamp, it had to be placed after his own safety. No matter what the situation, survival was the first priority.
"The Natal Talismans are also there." Hu San came to Han Li and the others and said suddenly.
Han Li shifted his gaze and saw three palm-sized blood-red tokens neatly placed in the shadow under the golden light of the Years God Lamp, from which came waves of powerful life aura.
Without thinking too much, those should be the Natal Talismans of Li Qima and Qu Lin and the others.
Next to the three Natal Talismans, there was also a triangular black iron token, on which seemed to be engraved some runes, but they looked particularly blurred and somewhat difficult to see clearly.
Han Li noticed that Jiao San's gaze, in addition to lingering on the Years God Lamp for a longer time, was more often focused on this object.
He wanted to ask, but after a little thought, he held back.
On the platform at the top of the altar, besides these objects, there was also a golden book scroll, rolled into a roll and roughly tied with a golden thread. He couldn't see if there was any title on it.
When Lei Yuce saw this golden book scroll, a flash of excitement clearly appeared in his eyes. He exchanged glances with Wen Zhong, and the latter also nodded with joy, which seemed to be very important to their Tongtian Sword Sect.
Han Li's gaze swept over everyone, and a question suddenly arose in his heart. Where was Qu Lin, who had entered first?
Just as he was wondering, Qimozi suddenly spoke to everyone:
"Everyone..."
As soon as he said those words, the entire hall suddenly shook violently, and the previously opened hall door closed on its own.
At the same time, dazzling golden light began to ripple around the hall, and waves of powerful time law fluctuations soon enveloped the surroundings, and the surrounding void seemed to begin to distort.
Everyone felt as if they were wrapped in a golden space, and the flow of time around them suddenly became extremely slow. Their thoughts and divine sense were greatly restricted, and they all became a bit sluggish.
Without saying a word, Han Li made a hand seal, and golden light burst out from his body, spreading rapidly around, enveloping everyone including Lei Yuce.
Almost at the same time, Qimozi had already opened his spiritual domain, enveloping Xiong Shan and the five demons as well.
After entering the time spiritual domain, everyone's thoughts gradually returned to normal, but their speed of action was still suppressed a lot, and they seemed less swift and flexible than before.
At this moment, a huge circular halo suddenly appeared on the ground in front of everyone. Light surged inside, and blurred figures emerged one after another.
Han Li took a closer look and found that the figures emerging from the ground were all thin and tall, looking like bamboo poles. They were wearing somewhat ill-fitting golden armor, which clanged as they walked. They were all Taoist soldiers.
These Taoist soldiers looked thin and weak, but in fact, the aura emanating from each of them was not weak.
And what was most surprising was that after these Taoist soldiers crawled out of the ground, they did not rush towards them like a swarm of bees. Instead, they were divided into many orderly queues and surrounded them layer by layer.
"What are they doing..." Lan Yuanzi frowned and asked in confusion.
"Forming a formation." Han Li said slowly.
While everyone was surprised, those Taoist soldiers had already rushed up according to a special formation, surrounding everyone in the center.
As soon as the Taoist soldier formation was completed, the golden armor on each Taoist soldier shone with a dazzling golden light.
Han Li only felt a sharp pain in his eyes from the light and hurriedly narrowed his eyes and activated the Nine Nether Demon Eyes divine ability.
As purple light lit up from the depths of his pupils, the dazzling light that was unbearable to look at was like being covered with a layer of purple curtain, becoming less dazzling and unbearable.
Seeing this, almost everyone else also used their own methods, some using spiritual eye divine abilities to see, and some using magic treasures to block it, looking towards the surrounding golden light.
Han Li glanced around and saw that in the golden light, streaks of different colored runes began to emerge from the armor pieces on the skinny golden-armored Taoist soldiers. After flying away from their bodies, they transformed into a different colored light and flowed back into the Taoist soldiers' bodies.
As the strange light entered their bodies, very strange changes occurred in these Taoist soldiers. One team of Taoist soldiers was infused with green light, and their bodies swelled slightly, swelling twice as much as if they were inflated, and they also condensed a cyan long sword in their hands.
The team of Taoist soldiers adjacent to them was infused with yellow light, and their bodies swelled three times. Wherever the yellow light wrapped around them, pieces of vajra rock suddenly grew, and they became a stout stone man, and a huge stone hammer as tall as their bodies appeared in their hands.
As for those infused with blue light, the golden armor on their bodies seemed to have been melted by hot fire, directly melted away, turned into a liquid gold, flowing down along their bodies, dragging on the ground.
As for those infused with red light, clusters of crimson flames "popped" out from the gaps in their armor, turning into a flame golden armor, and they also held a long-handled sword entwined with flames.
Only the Taoist soldiers infused with golden light did not see any changes in their bodies, but a golden spear appeared in each of their hands, with complex patterns engraved on it, and there seemed to be a spiral golden light entrenched at the tip of the spear.
"What's going on? Forming a formation is one thing, but how can there be so many Taoist soldiers with different attributes at the same time?" Jiao San's eyes were also shining with strange light, and he asked with a look of disbelief.
"These Taoist soldiers were already strong in aura. The strength of each individual is already comparable to a Golden Immortal. There are at least five hundred of them in front of us, right? Each of them also has the blessing of the five elements attribute law. How is this possible?" Jiao San said in surprise.
"Hehe, it seems that I really underestimated Wen Taisui, the old fellow..." On the other side, Qimozi seemed to be the first to see the clue, and praised.
"Fellow Daoist Lei, what's going on?" Lan Yuanzi looked at Lei Yuce and asked.
"What is this formation? I... I don't know either." Lei Yuce said with some surprise.
Although for everyone, he should be the one who knows the Years Pagoda the most, but the constant accidents along the way also happen to show that his knowledge of this pagoda is not comprehensive.
"The types of Taoist soldiers belong to the same type. The reason why different attribute changes occur is that the formation they set up echoes the five elements altar, and there are countless connections between each other." Han Li had been silent all the time, and only then did he say.
"Are you saying... the attribute changes on these Taoist soldiers are caused by the influence of the five elements altar?" Jiao San frowned and asked.
