Crossing the Cultivation Realm: Two Souls Coexist

The two walked out of the gathering point and chose a random mountain road to walk on to avoid being followed.

After they walked out of the Thunder Mountain area, both of them were shocked.

Before my eyes is a vast Gobi desert, with the scorching sun and yellow sand all over the sky.

Gu Yang took out the map from the storage ring, looked at it carefully, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Aqing, look, this is actually a natural mineral resource site." He pointed to a mark on the map and said.

Hu Qing came over to take a look, raised his eyebrows slightly, and thought, this is indeed a good place.

"'Thousand Forgings' mentions that refining spiritual weapons requires various rare materials. We might be able to find what we need here. If not, feel free to dig up some more and bring it back to the sect to sell."

After Hu Qing finished speaking, his eyes fell on the endless desolate Gobi Desert in front of him, and an inexplicable excitement surged in his heart.

It was indeed a good decision to come to this secret realm. Where else can you find so many resources? You can also see a lot of natural scenery.

Gu Yang nodded. He looked at the Thousand Forgings in his storage ring, then at the Gobi Desert ahead. A smile appeared on his lips as he said:

"Maybe this is fate, let's go in and take a look."

He patted Hu Qing on the shoulder and led the way into the Gobi Desert.

As soon as they stepped into the Gobi Desert, they felt a burst of heat, and the air around them became distorted due to the high temperature.

The scorching sun is like a furnace, mercilessly burning the earth, and every grain of sand emits scorching heat.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang were both cultivators with relatively strong physiques, but they still felt a little bit tired in the face of the power of nature.

The two followed the map and walked towards an unexplored mining site. They didn't walk far before they felt dizzy and chest tightness, and their physical strength was greatly depleted.

They looked at each other and saw the fatigue in each other's eyes.

"We need to find a place to rest." Hu Qing said, his voice a little hoarse.

Gu Yang nodded in agreement, and the two of them found a place nearby to sit and rest in the shade of a huge rock.

Fortunately, there was enough water in their storage rings. The two of them drank a few sips of water, which slightly relieved their physical discomfort.

Hu Qing was planning to move on, but suddenly he thought of the two formation plates in his arms, and his eyes lit up.

"The environment here is harsh and sparsely populated, which is perfect for testing the formation plates." He took out the two rusty discs from his arms and rubbed them in his hands.

Gu Yang looked into the distance, frowned slightly, and said cautiously: "Are you sure you want to use it here? If the power is too strong, it may cause unnecessary trouble."

Hu Qing nodded, stood up and said, "We have to be careful, but this is also a good opportunity to test the power of the formation disk. Maybe it can become a considerable combat force."

He threw a disc to Gu Yang to hold, and then he took a disc to test it first.

The patterns on this piece are not as complicated as the other one, and no murderous aura can be detected.

He took a deep breath and slowly injected his spiritual power into the formation plate in his hand. The small formation points were lit up one after another.

Seeing this, Gu Yang no longer hesitated, stood up and walked behind Hu Qing.

If anything goes wrong, he will take Hu Qing and escape immediately.

With the infusion of spiritual power, the rust on the formation disk began to gradually fall off, revealing more complex runes underneath.

These runes emitted a faint glow under the sunlight, and a powerful spiritual energy wave emanated from the formation disk.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang looked at each other and saw the expectation in each other's eyes.

"rise!"

Hu Qing let out a low shout and threw the formation disk in his hand into the air.

The formation disk spun several times in the air, and then suddenly burst out with a dazzling light, forming a huge light shield that enveloped the two of them.

The surrounding heat and sandstorms were instantly isolated. It seemed that this was a defensive formation that was strong enough to withstand the harsh environment in the Gobi Desert.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang both breathed a sigh of relief. They could feel that the defense of this light shield was extremely strong.

"This formation plate is indeed not simple. I just don't know to what extent this light shield can withstand attacks." Gu Yang exclaimed in admiration. His gaze fell on the formation plate in his hand, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

"Then why don't you try it? This should be a peak-level third-grade formation." Hu Qing encouraged from the side.

After hearing this, Gu Yang was also eager to try it out. He handed the formation in his hand to Hu Qing and walked outside the light shield.

The hot air enveloped him. He took out the Soul-Devouring Blade, held it in his hand, and adjusted his breath.

"The first move of the Eight Blades of Breaking the Front, chop against the wind!"

A blade light with a gust of wind quickly slashed at the light shield, but the light shield did not move at all and directly absorbed the blade light perfectly.

Hu Qing didn't even sense a trace of Gu Yang's spiritual power inside the light shield.

"Since it's so tough, let's try this move! The second move of 'Eight Blades Breaking the Edge': Autumn Wind Sweeping Fallen Leaves!"

Gu Yang quickly flew over and came in front of the light shield. The knife in his hand kept slashing through the air, making a buzzing sound.

This time the light shield was shaking a little, creating layers of ripples. After Gu Yang's attack stopped, the light shield returned to its previous shape, but it was slightly dim.

"I just don't believe I can't break a small third-grade formation! The third test of "Eight Blades of Breaking Edges" will sweep away thousands of troops!"

After such a long period of body training, Gu Yang has now mastered the third form perfectly.

The Soul-Devouring Blade in his hand extended more than one meter under the infusion of spiritual power, and the blade, with flowing tracers, rushed straight towards the light shield.

The sky full of sword lights locked onto the light shield. Hu Qing felt danger in the light shield and quickly ran to the back.

"boom!"

The light shield was chopped into pieces by the sword light, turning into light spots all over the sky, and a deep groove was cut into the nearby boulder.

Hu Qing was choked by the smoke and dust, and his temple was hit by a flying piece of gravel, and blood was flowing.

Gu Yang bent over, put his hands on his knees, gasped for breath, and was about to look up and ask Hu Qing how he performed.

He saw Hu Qing kneeling in the smoke and dust, coughing continuously, so he quickly ran over and helped Hu Qing up.

"Ah Qing! Don't die! What's wrong with you?"

"Ahem...you...you kid are quite ruthless. Do you want to kill me so much? The formation was broken that time. Now no one can blame anyone." Hu Qing took a long time to recover.

Then the two of them seemed to remember something and looked at the formation plate lying on the ground.

Hu Qing hurried over to pick it up. The patterns of the formation on it had become dim and there were some tiny scratches, but they were slowly healing.

"What's the matter? Is there something wrong with the formation disk?" Gu Yang asked anxiously. He felt a little guilty now.

"It's okay. It's probably because his spiritual power has been exhausted. He just needs to absorb some spiritual energy. As for those scratches, this metal is quite strong and can heal itself." Hu Qing comforted.

Gu Yang finally felt relieved, patted his chest, and then looked at the formation plate in Hu Qing's hand with envy, and said:

"We really found a treasure this time! It's so powerful!"

Hu Qing nodded, his heart also filled with surprise.

"Let's try another one. This one should be related to the attack."

He took out another formation plate from his arms. The runes on this formation plate were different from the previous ones and exuded a sharp aura.

Gu Yang continued to come behind Hu Qing and get ready, determined to protect him this time.

Hu Qing swallowed a rejuvenation pill, and after feeling his spiritual power recovered a little, he continued to input into the formation disk, activating the formation points one by one.

The power of these formation disks is indeed quite satisfactory, but the spiritual power required each time is too great. Hu Qing can only activate one and a half formation disks with all his spiritual power.

The formation disk was quickly activated, drew a graceful arc in the air, and then fell into the air and spun.

Then suddenly, sharp beams of light burst out and shot towards a huge rock in the distance.

"Boom! Boom..."

With loud bangs, the huge rock was instantly shattered into pieces under the bombardment of the light beam and turned into a pile of rubble.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang both gasped. They could feel that these beams of light were extremely powerful, enough to easily kill a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Even if one is at the Jindan stage, he would probably be seriously injured if he is not careful.

"The power of these formation disks is greater than I imagined." Gu Yang exclaimed, a hint of heat flashing in his eyes.

"I should have bought a few more earlier. That way, we would have a huge advantage against the enemy."

Hu Qing nodded, his heart also filled with regret.

But he was relieved in the blink of an eye. These two formation disks were already difficult enough, and he probably wouldn't be able to handle a few more.

Gu Yang couldn't help yet, because this array disk had to be used through the array patterns to activate the array points, and he was not very good at checking these tiny patterns.
