"What's the detailed method?" Qin Tiexin asked in confusion.

Except for the few Buddhist monks present, the rest of the people were vaguely dominated by this Chen Chen. Even the physical cultivator just now had a hint of respect in his attitude in front of Chen Chen.

But if you think about it carefully, Heavenly South Domain is a place dominated by a dynasty. Faced with Chen Chen, a royal child who obviously has a high status, there will always be some changes in the attitude of every Myriad Stars Dynasty monk.

Seeing that Qin Tiexin looked neither humble nor arrogant, Chen Chen was a little surprised, but he didn't care too much. He stretched out his hand in the direction of the photomask and motioned for him to look over there.

"Does Fellow Daoist Liu know who is in the formation?"

"Who?"

"Inside this mask is the place where monk Chengxin rests, and it is also the place where [Devil Venerable Xuanli] is sealed."

Qin Tiexin's eyes moved slightly.

The name Devil Venerable Xuanli was never mentioned in Jiang Lie's Jade Slip. It just said that Chengxin Buddha accidentally entered a Nascent Soul Peak The cave abode of the E monk found the bracelet Devil Artifact, which forced Chengxin to become possessed twice, and in the end both parties almost died together.

He asked, "Devil Venerable Xuanli?"

"The Devil Cultivator who was hiding among Devil Artifact was also the trigger for this war." Chen Chen said, "After Devil Cultivator of Nascent Soul Peak seduced Chengxin Buddha into a demon, Chengxin monks and the coalition forces of major sects fought to the death here. Chengxin Buddha woke up at the last moment. In order to completely wipe out Xuanli's Devil Qi, he used his soul as a guide to set up this grand formation. To be precise, there should be two grand formations."

Qin Tiexin had no expression on his face, but he remembered this paragraph in his heart. The royal news was indeed more complete.

Chen Chen continued, "Buddha Chengxin used the aftermath of the battle to merge the formations on the fifth and third floors to form this two-in-one formation. And before he was enthroned, he sealed all the spiritual stones, magic weapons, and resources with spiritual energy on the third floor of the Pure Land Zen Temple. The formation is used to maintain the seal and the operation of the formation. That's why there is nothing here, and all the good things are inside. I have investigated and found that there is not a trace of demonic energy left in the formation. It has been completely refined over a thousand years, and the resources inside are ownerless things."

He paused and continued, "But the formation is still running. Judging from the situation of the resources inside, there will be no decay in a hundred years, so to get the things inside, you must break the formation. But Chengxin Buddha is also on guard against this. In order to prevent the formation from being destroyed, in addition to setting up an inner and outer sealing formation, he also activated Eighteen Bronze Arhats Formation and stood guard outside. Fellow Daoist also saw it just now."

Qin Tiexin nodded. He could see clearly just now that the bronze man was cut off at the waist by the physical cultivator. He returned to the formation within a few breaths and returned to his original state within a moment.

"These eighteen bronze figures were originally the puppets of the Pure Land Chan Sect who guarded the third floor of the treasure house, and were occasionally used as training objects for the disciples in the temple. According to records, these eighteen bronze figures were entirely forged from Star-Patterned Copper, with a small amount of Return-to-True Spirit Metal mixed in." When he said this, Chen Chen's tone was filled with a hint of excitement. "Return-to-True Spirit Metal has a trace of self-healing ability, which allows the bronze man to recover in a very short time after being shattered. However, each originally had the combat power of the Golden Core Realm. After all, a thousand years of time still have an impact. Now it has dropped to Half-Step Golden Core, but the resources in the formation support it. Although the strength has declined, the recovery speed has not slowed down."

Sure enough, it is Return-to-True Spirit Metal, which is a treasure that Qin Tiexin is most familiar with. In order to let Qin Tiexin practice the carving of Spirit Rune, Martial Uncle Wu specially gave him a box of training metal ingots with Return-to-True Spirit Metal on it. It is still in Qin Tiexin's storage ring.

Qin Tiexin thought for a while and asked, "What does Fellow Daoist Chen mean?"

Chen Chen Seeing that he had listened, he laid out the rules. "I have a way to break the formation, and the key is the eighteen bronze figures. We tried it before Fellow Daoist Liu came, but because the recovery time of the bronze figures is too fast, a wheel battle will not work at all. The only way is for everyone to destroy the eighteen bronze figures at the same time, even if they are not even a breath away. Those who are destroyed first will be the first to resume fighting again, which is in vain. So eighteen groups of people are needed to attack at the same time and stop at the same time."

"Is there a time limit?" Qin Tiexin asked.

"Yes." Hearing Qin Tiexin ask, Chen Chen knew that he was beginning to be interested, "The time of one stick of incense cannot be too fast or too slow. Use the time difference when all the bronze figures are destroyed and need to be restored to break the formation."

"You can have one person or several people working together, and they will be allocated according to groups. After the formation is broken, the resources inside will be divided into eighteen parts, one for each group." Chen Chen continued, "We have gathered fifteen groups. If Liu Daoyou joins, it will be the sixteenth group."

"Okay." Qin Tiexin nodded. After watching the fight between the physical cultivator and the bronze man, Qin Tiexin felt that it would not be difficult to destroy it within one stick of incense, so he decisively agreed.

"Exciting!" Chen Chen clapped his hands first, and then changed the subject, "But before we start, we need fellow Daoist Liu to test it."

"Test what?"

"It's very simple." Chen Chen pointed at the formation, "Just pick a bronze man and destroy it with one stick of incense, no matter how you use it."

No wonder the physical cultivator needed to tell Chen Chen first after cutting it off.

Chen Chen added, "However, this is not a forced matter. If fellow Daoists are sick or feel unwilling to participate, they can leave at any time. But if you have the intention of waiting for the people in front to break the formation before grabbing things, then you are the common enemy of everyone present. Even if you leave the secret realm, Chen will promise to chase him to the ends of the earth."

In the first half of the sentence, Chen Chen still maintained his warm tone, but when the topic changed, his tone became a lot more serious, especially when he said "Chase him to the ends of the earth", the two Half-Step Golden Core guards behind him simultaneously took half a step forward, and suddenly a pressure came over them, which was full of warning.

Qin Tiexin's expression remained unchanged, as if he didn't feel anything. "Okay, when will the test be carried out?"

Chen Chen smiled and did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked at Xiao Rou behind him. "Where is this girl?"

There is no intention of looking down on Xiao Rou just because she is a maid.

Xiao Rou shook his head quickly. "Xiao Rou's combat power is low, and it will be a drag if he goes there. I can just wait for the young master outside."

Chen Chen nodded and pointed to a flat stone platform nearby. "Girl, you can go there to have a rest. My people will be watching, and everything will be fine."

Xiao Rou looked up at Qin Tiexin, saw him nodding, then lowered his head and hurried over to sit down.

At this time, Chen Chen turned to Qin Tiexin and replied, "If Fellow Daoist Liu is ready, you can do it at any time. As long as you are within five steps of the formation, the bronze man will naturally be attracted. However, this bronze man's combat power is not low, so fellow Daoist it is better to be fully prepared."

After listening to Qin Tiexin, without hesitation, he picked up Edgeless with his left hand and walked towards the photomask.
