With the strength of Yang Rui's current senior general, he is walking around the Penglai Realm map. As long as he is a little cautious, there is basically no danger. The monster level in the innermost layer of the map is only 5th level. Further inside is an extremely steep mountain peak, which is not something that Yang Rui can climb now.

The problem occurs on these peaks. It has to be said that these peaks are too steep. They basically rise up suddenly in the flat ground, and there is no transitional terrain. The peaks are too quiet, and even a bird or beast is not visible, which is in sharp contrast to the situation where all kinds of monsters are everywhere in the flat ground.

Of course, this is just a feeling of Yang Rui. However, thinking of the formation mentioned by Cheng Yu before, Yang Rui told Cheng Yu about what he discovered after returning.

After that, Yang Rui and Cheng Yu went to the core area of ​​Penglai realm again to check. At the same time, Yang Rui brought Gao Shun and Zhang Ning with him. These two were both first-level and second-level historical figures, and their strength was much deeper than Yang Rui, so they might be helpful.

"Yu originally thought he had figured out some clues. Now it seems that the core formation of Penglai Realm should still be here! What he saw before may be just the outer formation of the entire Penglai Realm formation!"

Several people arrived at the 5th-level monster area in the core area of ​​Penglai Realm. Cheng Yu carefully looked at it for more than half an hour before he said.

"Mr. Cheng has a way to crack the formation here?"

Seeing that Cheng Yu had indeed made new discoveries, Yang Rui couldn't help asking.

"The formation here is really exquisite, and it seems to have broken away from the boundaries of the mortal formation. Yu's ability is limited, so he can only try to unlock the outer formation first and make other plans. As for the core formation here, Yu's confidence in unlocking it is very small, and Lieyang should not have too much hope!" Cheng Yu shook his head and replied, while his gaze was on the continuous peaks in the center.

Yang Rui also captured Cheng Yu's move, knowing that although Cheng Yu was not sure to untie the core formation, he was still a little unwilling to give up on this formation. It can also be seen from Cheng Yu's words that he was actually sure to break the previous outer formation.

"You and the other two might as well try attacking."

Cheng Yu seemed to have thought of something, turned around and pointed at a place not far away in front of him to Gao Shun, Zhang Ning and the others said. Everyone looked at each other but saw that the place where Cheng Yu pointed was in front of the steep mountain peak. At this time, there was only a void and nothing existed.

Gao Shun held the spear and pointed at Cheng Yu, and there was a burst of stabbing towards the void. Although no one saw any blocking objects, he heard a "bang bang" sound of air, as if the sound of hitting the hollow object. It was obviously touching a certain position in the core formation!

However, Gao Shun's attack of such a level did not produce any effect, so not long after he took action, Cheng Yu signaled him to stop.

Seeing this, Zhang Ning gently raised his jade hand and used a large area of ​​sky spirit fire rain. Except for a small part of the fist that fell from the sky, the rest fell on the ground without any obstacles. This time the effect was even more obvious. A milky white ball with a diameter of about one meter was reflected in the fire rain in the air. The part of the fire rain that was twisted just now was bounced away by it.

"It is difficult to break through the core array here with a simple attack..."

Seeing this, Cheng Yu also let Zhang Ning do it, and nodded while saying, although the attacks of Gao Shun and Zhang Ning failed to work, it is likely to verify some of Cheng Yu's guess.

There is no effective way to break the formation for the time being. Yang Rui and others returned to the abandoned town. Yang Rui, Gao Shun and Zhang Ning continued to operate the leveling of soldiers. Cheng Yu was still focused on studying the cracking of the outer formation.

At this time, Yang Rui did not have much hope to break the core formation of Penglai Realm. Instead, he was very optimistic about what the Penglai Realm would look like after the outer formation was broken.

After seven or eight days, the level of the soldiers led by Yang Rui has generally reached more than 30 levels, and about half of the soldiers have even exceeded 35 levels. In addition to the more than 60 S-level qualifications, all of them have been transformed into third-level soldiers. Next, you only need to practice step by step to level 50, and then you can go back to submit your duties.

It is worth mentioning that the faster-level soldiers were all directly subordinates of Yang Rui. After they turned their positions as second-level Iron Guards, their combat power advantages as special troops began to be clearly reflected. Compared with the soldiers who were handed over by Zhao Rong at the same level, the combat power of the Iron Guards was a long way away from the opponent. Therefore, the efficiency of the two monsters was naturally much different, and the level was quickly expanded.

Especially after the Iron Guards were first promoted to the third-level soldiers, the gap became even more obvious. The level of the soldiers under Zhao Rong was getting bigger and bigger, so the current result was achieved. The Iron Guards generally surpassed level 35, and the sword and shield soldiers had just been promoted to the third-level soldiers, and the level gap had reached more than level 5!

This is the result of Yang Rui's intention to let Gao Shun and Zhang Ning take care of the sword and shield soldiers, otherwise they would not know how much they would have to drag on time! Judging from the current trend, it only takes more than 30 days for the Iron Guard to be promoted to level 5, and it can even be ahead; while Zhao Rong's sword and shield soldiers will take at least nearly two months!

Whether it is Yang Rui's own troops or the 20,000 soldiers trained for Zhao Rong, a 50% loss rate is allowed. With Yang Rui's current lossless training method, Yang Rui seems to have seen the situation when the extra 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers enter his private pockets!

At this time, Yang Rui had entered the Penglai Realm for more than half a month. According to his original plan, Yang Rui should leave Penglai Realm, but Yang Rui was very concerned about Cheng Yu's cracking of the outer formation, so he stayed temporarily.

Before Yang Rui entered Penglai, he had made detailed arrangements for the territorial matters, and for the time being, there was no doubt that there would be any mistakes in the security of each territorial area. This is also the main reason why Yang Rui was able to stay with peace of mind.

However, Cheng Yu still failed to fully pay attention to the outer formation. During this period, whether Yang Rui led his soldiers to upgrade his monsters or in his spare time, he had been practicing the advanced special skills - the 24th Stage of Luoyan. Through two-pronged approaches and practice, the proficiency of this skill also increased rapidly to more than 90% of level 2, and would soon reach the level 3 level.

Yang Rui has carried the special stunt ending skill - the Forty-nine Style of Luoyan in his backpack. Once the special advanced skill reaches 100% proficiency, Yang Rui can immediately practice the Forty-nine Style of Luoyan. By then, Yang Rui's strength will definitely be further improved and eventually reach the peak state of a high-level general.

"I have some clues about the outer big formation Yu, but I need Lieyang's troops to cooperate."

Two more days passed, and Cheng Yu's consideration of the outer formation finally came to an end. After hearing the news, Yang Rui was immediately shocked!

"How does Mr. Cheng need to cooperate? Should he mobilize soldiers now?"

Yang Rui was waiting for the moment when Cheng Yu broke the outer formation. As for the cooperation of his soldiers in the process, it was nothing more than to delay some leveling time. As long as he could unlock the outer formation, it would be irrelevant to waste a little time.

"There is no need to panic in the lieyang. Before breaking this formation, some preparations are needed. I'm afraid Zhang Ning will take action in this process."

Cheng Yu said carefully that he was obviously confident.

"Oh? Need Zhang Ning to take action?"

When Yang Rui heard Zhang Ning's name, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"That's true! The name of the outer formation here should be called the Tai Chi Anonymous Array. It is a mysterious formation in Taoism. It has similarities with the Hunyuan Yiqi formation and the Baoyuan Shou Yi formation. Yu is not from Taoism, but has been involved in this formation, so he recognized it.

To untie this formation, a lot of Taoist flags were needed to be made. Although Yu had strongly remembered and recalled most of the contents and runes, he could not understand the truth and could not make the formation flags. Therefore, Zhang Ning had to take action on this matter..."

After listening to Cheng Yu's statement, Yang Rui understood the role of Zhang Ning in breaking the outer formation - Tai Chi Anonymous Array, and then he found Zhang Ning, who was assisting the soldiers to level up.

"These runes... Ning once saw them in the first volume of the Yin and Yang Five Elements Chapter of the Yi Taiping Yaoshu Yi, no wonder they look familiar."

After Zhang Ning arrived, he just used Cheng Yu to identify it based on the content and runes he remembered after much time, which made Yang Rui feel relieved.

In fact, as long as Zhang Ning understands the truth, has never seen it, or whether he recognizes what Cheng Yu has recorded, it doesn’t matter. Just use Taoist techniques to create a formation flag according to the method mentioned.

What is commendable is that Zhang Ning was able to know these runes well and found out several subtle mistakes in the runes recorded by Cheng Yu, which eventually made Cheng Yu nod. In this way, the process of making the array flag became very simple.

In addition, Zhang Ning had reserves for all kinds of needs for making array flags, so in the next day, Zhang Ning completed the eighty-one array flags and one order flag needed by Cheng Yu in one go, and handed them to Cheng Yu. At the last moment, Cheng Yu took over the two 6th-grade pearls obtained by Yang Rui before entering Penglai Realm, and asked Zhang Ning to make only one magic plate.

At this point, Yang Rui, Cheng Yu and others realized that Zhang Ning had been studying the Taoist art of Taiping. Although he had been showing little, he had already had considerable attainments, including talismans and pharmacists, which Zhang Ning had mastered!
