My blind date failed, so I had to ascend the throne and become emperor.

Chapter 155 The origin of the mysterious force
There was a hint of anxiety in Zhou Ping's voice.

If his guess was true, and that cold and powerful man really was in the underground cave of Ancheng Resort, the consequences would be very serious.

After all, the other party had always been very low-key before. Apart from possessing a human corpse in the Qingcheng ruins, the only other incident was the one in the hospital.

But now.

This guy caused such a big commotion in Ancheng, he must have something to rely on, or he is no longer afraid of anything.

Thinking of what Juxiu had told him, that the Guigu Sect was doing something important and would likely cause trouble for him once it was completed, he became even more anxious.

The array spirit, whose light was gathering before him, said slowly, "Zhou Ping, I told you that the entire Earth array seal is a combination of certain special metals from the planet. It is precisely because of this that it can withstand the massive force that seeks to destroy our Taiyan Sect."

Zhou Ping nodded repeatedly, "So, the guys from Ancheng destroyed this formation node?"

As a formation master.

He knew very well that large-scale formations were basically composed of a combination of various formations, so such formations generally required a lot of formation masters to maintain them, and they inevitably involved a lot of formation hubs and nodes.

The formation spirit shook his head and said, "The other party hasn't destroyed it. Even at the Nascent Soul stage, it's difficult to destroy it. However, this seal has existed for a long time, so it's inevitable that there will be weaknesses. A hundred years ago, it experienced a period of weakness. The powerful force outside took advantage of this period to infiltrate the formation and sent some cultivators into the planet."

Hear this.

Zhou Ping was stunned. After coming to his senses, he asked, "Zhen Ling, you, you mean to say that the powerful force outside the Earth had already sent cultivators to infiltrate a hundred years ago?"

"Correct."

The formation spirit said, "Although they have infiltrated, I am the formation spirit of the long-distance fleet after all, and I personally controlled and set up the sealing formation. The entire earth is under my jurisdiction and detection, so they have no way to enter physically. However, the forces outside were able to destroy my Taiyan Sect. Their foundation and strength are extremely terrifying, and their methods are beyond imagination."

"Under these circumstances, they still used some means to enter Earth. You should have guessed that these members later formed three major factions: Guigu Sect, Jing'an Si, and Shennong Palace. These three factions excel at different methods. I suspect they are three branches of that same faction."

Speaking of which.

The formation spirit sighed softly, "Although I know they're coming, I'm just a formation spirit. The means I can use are very limited, and I must obtain some kind of authorization before I can launch an attack. This is the rule of the long-distance fleet, and it's also to prevent certain things from happening. There have been cases of formation spirits attacking sect monks in the past, and even causing massacres."

Zhou Ping suddenly understood. "So that's why you took the initiative to open the spaceship, let it appear, attract countries to come, promote the beginning of the global cultivation era, and then select suitable outstanding talents from these people, so as to obtain authority and deal with these infiltrating enemies?"

The formation spirit looked at Zhou Ping and said, "That's right. If you want to get the authority, you must at least be a candidate for the sect's Holy Son. I know the hope is slim, but I have to do this. Moreover, whether it is to deal with the enemy or to keep hope for the Taiyan Sect, we must cultivate outstanding talents."

"Luckily you showed up."

At this moment, a human-like smile appeared on its face. "You are even better than I expected. Although you haven't become a candidate for the sect's Holy Son yet, you have achieved such achievements in just one year of training. You are worthy of being a descendant of the ancient civilization planet."

Zhou Ping's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself that he was not an outstanding talent. His current achievements were entirely due to the help of the national destiny virtual frame and the Phoenix Fairy.

The formation spirit continued, "For the past hundred years, I have been searching for traces of the infiltrating enemy, but their methods are very powerful, and they are very secretive. Even though I know they have formed three major forces, I cannot find their true identity."

"It wasn't until last year's ruins that I detected their tracks through you and understood their plan. These people intended to use the contents of the ancient ruins on the planet to deal with me."

Zhou Ping frowned, "Zhen Ling, since you knew their plan, why didn't you tell me and destroy them directly? Didn't you say that I could mobilize some of your energy?"

The formation spirit sighed, "Although you can mobilize energy, it's only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage. Even though the infiltrators don't have physical bodies, their methods are definitely beyond your ability to handle. Furthermore, since these enemies were able to get in, they must have many hidden cards on their hands; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to shield themselves from my detection."

It turned out to be the case.

He originally thought that those people relied on ancient relics to block the detection of the array spirits, but now it seems that they themselves are from the powerful forces outside.

Soon Zhou Ping thought of the abbot of Lianyue Temple whom he had met near Mount Li. At that time, the other party gave him a very mysterious and unfathomable feeling. Moreover, Jing'an Si was obviously a force mainly based on flesh and blood, but it had so many resources, which were obviously brought in from outside the earth.

"Zhen Ling, what should we do now?"

He frowned and said, "The one heading towards Ancheng should be the Guigu Sect. I've encountered them before, and they're very powerful. Now that they've resurfaced and have regained some of their strength, I'm afraid the entire Earth will fall."

The formation spirit was silent for a moment, then continued, "That's why I said we're in trouble. But it's just trouble, not a crisis yet."

When Zhou Ping heard this, his eyes lit up. Yes, there is also a formation spirit. This guy is currently the strongest on Earth. He must have some other means of checks and balances, otherwise forces like Lian Yue and Gui Gu would not be so low-key.

"Zhanling, if you have any tricks, use them quickly. It would be best to seize this opportunity to destroy the Ancheng Guigu Sect."

he said quickly.

The formation spirit said helplessly, "I don't have the means to deal with them directly. Only when you become the sect's candidate for the Holy Son can you gain higher authority. At that time, you can directly control the long-distance fleet and gather more powerful energy through me."

Zhou Ping quickly said, "Then I will go to the actual combat test space to challenge it now."

Last time I stopped at level seven.

After this period of training and having gained a large number of national fortune points, his combat power has been significantly improved, especially his fire control skills have become more sophisticated and can unleash more power.

The formation spirit said, "Zhou Ping, you are very good, but your cultivation time is ultimately too short. The sect's Candidate Saint Son and the Sect Saint Son are the sect's future hope, so the seventh and eighth levels are extremely difficult. First of all, the cultivation level must be at least a high-grade Golden Core. Based on previous challenges, the minimum cultivation level to become a Sect Saint Son Candidate is a late Golden Core stage. That was only once in thousands of years."

"The average cultivation level of the rest is at the Nascent Soul stage. As for the Saint Sons of the sects, most of them are at the Nascent Soul stage."

Zhou Ping: “…”

He was speechless and said, "So, I have no hope of becoming the sect's Holy Son within ten years and gaining full control of the spacecraft!"

The formation spirit felt a little guilty. "It's a bit difficult, but there's still hope. Of course, even if you don't become the sect's Saint Son, it doesn't matter. With your status and authority as a sect's seed, you can still mobilize spaceships under special circumstances. And while becoming a sect's Saint Son may be a little difficult, becoming a sect's Saint Son candidate is achievable with some effort."

Zhou Ping stared at the formation spirit, wondering if this guy had learned bad things from those bosses and even learned how to make empty promises.

"Zhenling, you're talking about a situation without any unexpected events. Now that the Guigu Sect has jumped out, there's no telling if other powerful ones will continue to infiltrate. Besides, the Guigu Sect alone is difficult to deal with. If they work together from within, the seal of the Earth's formation will probably be broken in no time."

"When the powerful force that destroyed the Taiyan Sect arrives, none of us will be able to escape."

As he spoke, he said with a righteous look: "My personal safety is a minor matter, but the inheritance of Tai Yan Sect is a major matter. If Tai Yan Sect is completely destroyed on Earth, how can you, the formation spirit, be worthy of the successive masters of Tai Yan Sect!"

The formation spirit was speechless for a moment.

Its highest principle is to develop Tai Yan Sect and inherit Tai Yan Sect. This principle has long been imprinted in its core by the near-immortal-level leader of Tai Yan Sect. No matter how intelligent it is, it cannot violate this principle.

"Zhanling, in my opinion, we should open other spaceships as soon as possible. With those cultivation resources, I can grow faster."

Zhou Ping said temptingly. But the formation spirit shook its head, "No, I can't go against this rule. Besides, we're not facing an existential crisis yet. I told you, Ancheng is just a problem, not a crisis."

Zhou Ping was puzzled. "Don't you have no solution?"

The formation spirit then explained, "This is what happened. Although I have no other options, I do have a way to limit the opponent's strength. The current spiritual energy environment of the entire Earth is difficult to support even a Foundation Establishment cultivator, let alone a Nascent Soul cultivator."

"Even if the enemy carries some kind of magic power recovery treasure or has some means, he can't freely unleash the power of the Condensed Infant on Earth. Also, I set up the Earth's formation seal, and the key node is the spaceship. To a certain extent, I can control the spiritual energy of a certain area through the formation."

After hearing this.

Zhou Ping's eyes widened. Oh my god, this formation spirit is actually a large-scale celestial controller. "So, you can also control the weather?"

"Correct."

"We can only interfere. If we really disregard the energy and try to change the control, it will affect the Earth's ecosystem."

My formation spirit is so powerful.

The formation spirit continued, "Besides that, there are many high-tech weapons on the spaceships. Although these weapons are not as powerful as magic weapons, they can kill Ningying at all costs."

"The reason it's troublesome is because the enemy is not stupid. Now that it has the strength of the Nascent Soul stage, it will definitely use its own strength to quickly control the various countries and then destroy the key nodes of the formation, thereby reducing the defensive capabilities of the formation seal..."

Zhou Ping nodded after hearing this.

indeed.

I would do the same if it were me.

Think about it carefully.

He asked, "Zhan Ling, if I were to meet him, are you sure you can protect my safety?"

"can."

"It will just consume the energy of the formation."

"Okay, then it's okay."

He felt relieved. As long as his safety was temporarily guaranteed, he was not afraid of anything.

End the exchange.

Before leaving the spaceship, Zhou Ping asked the formation spirit to keep an eye on the direction of Ancheng and to remind himself immediately if there was any movement. He then contacted Director Wang directly and asked him to notify all members of the special department not to approach Ancheng Resort, and to relocate the residents near Ancheng Resort in a short time.

When Director Wang learned that it was the Guigu Sect, he immediately took it seriously and went to see the top management to report the situation. In just two hours, the document for the transfer of the situation in Ancheng was issued.

evening.

Jing'an Si Building.

Zhou Ping brought Jiang Xia over.

Enchanting and charming, even Juxiu in a nun's robe couldn't hide her voluptuous figure. The round curve of her chest was impossible to ignore. Seeing Zhou Ping, the corners of her lips curved into a smile, "Oh, what a rare visitor! Captain Zhou actually came to my quiet temple to think about me. Could it be that you missed me?"

While throwing a wink.

She twisted her hips and poured tea for Zhou Ping herself.

Jiang Xia disliked this vixen very much and didn't even enter the house, thinking that out of sight, out of mind.

Zhou Ping didn't have time to engage in witty banter with Juxiu, so he got straight to the point, "I want to know about what's going on in Ancheng, and the Guigu Sect."

Juxiu seemed to have guessed Zhou Ping's intentions long ago. Smiling, she sat down on his lap with a cup of tea in her hand. The aroma immediately filled her nose. "Why are you in such a hurry? It's a rare visit, so let me serve you well."

Zhou Ping frowned but said nothing.

See this.

Juxiu stretched out her hand and hooked it around his neck, a few wisps of fragrance emanating from her red lips. "Captain Zhou is very successful now. He can even kill the Evil King Tang. He is worthy of being favored by others. Come, have a drink."

She said this before taking a sip of hot tea.

Then she sat up straight, her lips almost touching Zhou Ping's mouth, and then the tea in her mouth slowly dripped from her red lips.

This girl is so attractive.

Zhou Ping suppressed his anger and could only cooperate by pursing his lips.

Juxiu giggled, "Captain Zhou, I really like you today. Next time, I won't use my mouth, I'll use this..."

Her hand slowly moved to the round curve of her chest.

Zhou Ping said seriously, "Okay, it's time to get down to business."

Ju Xiu covered her mouth and said, "Okay, considering Captain Zhou's cooperation, I'll tell you some news. The commotion in Ancheng was indeed caused by the Guigu Sect. To be more precise, the Guigu Sect's leader is said to have regained some strength."

"So Captain Zhou, be careful. The Guigu Sect is always vindictive. If you kill one of their people, you will definitely be targeted."

She leaned in closer and said, "Actually, if Captain Zhou joined us at Jing'an Si, we wouldn't have to worry about this."

Zhou Ping now knew that the three major forces, Jing'an Si, Guigu Sect, and Shennong Palace, were all infiltrated by extraterrestrial cultivation forces. However, even if he knew this secret, he would not reveal it. "Miss Juxiu, what do you mean by this? Could it be that Jing'an Si is not afraid of Guigu Sect?"

There was a deliberate hint of disdain in his tone.

The last time I saw Lian Yue near Mount Li, the members under him were not very strong.

So what he said was also an attempt to get Jing'an's information.

Juxiu smiled and said, "Captain Zhou, don't try to trick me, because I don't know either. This is what our abbess said."
