My Optimized Immortal Life

Wanren City.

At this moment, Wanren City was not as lively as usual. Instead, its gates were tightly closed, and a huge city wall stood in front of Wanren Mountain. Countless complex and dense array patterns appeared on the wall, with spiritual energy flowing on it. It was obvious that the city defense formation of Wanren City had been activated, protecting the entire city from the upcoming beast tide.

However, on the city wall, every ten steps, one can see five monks gathered together. This is the countermeasures of the City Lord's Mansion.

The beast tide is huge, and every time it attacks, there are thousands of monsters. If there are no city walls to resist, it will be impossible to stop it with just cultivators.

Therefore, the formation arranged on the city wall is particularly important. Although the Heavenly Fire Demon-Suppressing Mysterious Evil Formation is a third-grade top-grade formation with unparalleled power, it also consumes a lot of spiritual energy to activate it, even if there is a large primary spiritual vein in Wanren City.

Therefore, when facing the initial beast tide, the formation will not be fully activated, but will retain some power. This is also to guard against the third-level beast king who may take action.

At this time, Liu Jianyi was also standing on the high building of the City Lord's Mansion, gazing at the Wanren Mountain which was only a few miles away.

With his level of cultivation, he could naturally sense that countless demonic auras had gathered in the Wanren Mountain and were rising into the sky. Among them, there was also a subtle aura that made him feel threatened.

His heart sank, but he took out the array plate that controlled the entire Sky Fire Demon-Suppressing Xuan Sha Array from his storage bag. His magic power flowed in the array plate. With the help of the array plate, his perception was amplified, and he could also sense the operation of the entire Sky Fire Demon-Suppressing Xuan Sha Array. After taking inventory and confirming that the flow of spiritual energy in various parts of the array was unobstructed, he felt relieved, took a deep breath, and prepared to face the next beast tide.

In fact, even the cultivators from the City Lord's Mansion who went into the mountains to investigate could not give an exact time for when the beast tide would arrive. They could only confirm that it might be today.

After all, gathering monsters and forming a beast tide is not an easy task. Even the third-level beast king in Wanren Mountain can only gather many different monsters. After a long time, these monsters will riot and get out of its control.

While Liu Jian was thinking, on the city wall.

Li He and Jiang Ziyun stood together, gazing at the mountains stretching to the end of their sight. However, their hearts felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on them, making them extremely depressed.

The two of them did not leave Wanren City like Chen Qing and Xu Lingxin. Although escaping from Wanren City could indeed avoid disaster, that was something only a hopeless casual cultivator would strive for.

Both of them are only in their twenties, and their cultivation has reached the late stage of Qi Refining. In terms of aptitude, they are also considered top-notch among casual cultivators. Because of this, they naturally want to go further on the path to immortality, so they are taking the risk to participate in this beast tide.

Of course, Li He naturally has some confidence in dealing with the upcoming beast tide.

When the monsters gathered before, the City Lord's Mansion had already released a list of contributions in exchange for killing monsters. Li He and Jiang Ziyun naturally worked together to kill several first-stage late monsters during this period of time, in exchange for a lot of cultivation pills. Therefore, now both of them have broken through to the eighth level of Qi Refining, which is comparable to the cultivation level of Yunxiao and Chen Xing.

However, the two were not staying with Yunxiao and Chen Xing at this time. After all, although they were said to be independent cultivators, they actually had some background, unlike Li He and Jiang Ziyun, who had come alone to this day.

Li He looked at the Wanren Mountain in the distance and saw a vast expanse of green, as emerald as a painting. It made his mind feel clear and his heart felt more open.

But if you look closely, you can find that the entire Wanren Mountain is silent, you can hear a pin drop, and there is not a single bird in sight.

Suddenly, a cultivator standing next to Li He exclaimed in surprise.

"Why do I feel like there's some vibration under my feet?"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding cultivators frowned and looked down at their feet. Li He also couldn't help but frown. As his perception spread, he did feel some vibration under his feet, and as time went by, the vibration became stronger and stronger.

Just as everyone lowered their heads to sense the source of the vibration, a monk suddenly exclaimed and pointed forward.

"Look, the beast tide is coming!"

After he finished speaking, Li He immediately looked up at Wanren Mountain. When he saw the situation in Wanren Mountain, his pupils couldn't help but shrink.

At the junction of the mountains, several black waves were slowly surging out and converging like rivers flowing into the sea, forming a wave that filled the entire field of vision. If you look closely, you can see that this black wave was formed by hundreds of monsters gathered together.

The demonic energy of countless monsters gathered together, becoming so thick that it almost turned into a black cloud, rolling towards Wanren City. Even though there was a formation between them, the many cultivators standing on the city wall felt an indescribable sense of oppression, making them feel like thorns on their backs.

"Purple Lightning Wolf, Fire Horned Ox, Black Water Python, Green Tiger..."

Some cultivators recited the names of several types of monsters mixed in the beast tide one by one. Those were monsters that were extremely difficult to deal with on a normal day. Encountering just one would make several cultivators feel threatened. But now they gathered together, attacking in the hundreds, making many cultivators present nervous.

Wanren City has been peaceful for a long time. The last beast tide broke out more than 20 years ago. All the cultivators here, regardless of their status, moved into Wanren City after the last beast tide.

Therefore, this was also their first time facing a beast tide. Seeing this scene, even though they knew that there was a city wall beneath them and that they were protected by a third-level formation, they couldn't help but feel a little breathless.

The black beast tide several miles away seemed very slow, but it was actually very fast. It took only a dozen breaths of time to cover the entire area below Wanren Mountain, and rushed towards Wanren City with undiminished momentum.

At this moment, on the city wall, several foundation-building masters from the City Lord's Mansion flew up, hovered in the air, and amplified their voices with magic power.

"The beast tide will reach Wanren City in less than an incense stick of time. The cultivators stationed at various nodes must pay attention. No matter what, we must not let the monsters break through the city walls. Otherwise, once the third-level formation is destroyed, Wanren City will no longer be able to resist the beast tide!"

The words of several foundation-building cultivators were full of solemnity, which made the cultivators below feel even more nervous. Seeing this, Li He secretly practiced the Qingxin Jue to calm his mind and deal with the upcoming beast tide.

He flipped his hand and took out a three-foot-long knife-like magical weapon from his storage bag and held it in his hand. Then he secretly took out several talismans and stuffed them inside his robe for emergency use.

Jiang Ziyun beside him also took out his own magic weapon. His expression was equally solemn. His eyes were fixed on the black beast tide slowly approaching from a distance, not daring to be careless at all.
