Lu Ping naturally didn't know that he was being watched by someone he knew. At this moment, Lu Ping followed behind Deng Ming. They had already broken through the third layer of the formation and arrived in front of the fourth formation. This was where Deng Ming had been stumped all these years.
Behind this formation, there was a corpse surrounded by the fifth layer of formation. After Lu Ping used his eye technique, he could vaguely see a storage magic item on the waist of the corpse.
"This is the fourth formation. For the past four or five years, I've been trapped in front of this fourth formation. Until now, I've only managed to deduce four formation nodes. If I want to break this formation, I'll have to find at least eight formation nodes before I can try. Even then, I may not succeed."
Lu Ping looked around and suddenly said, "The formations here are interconnected. Each formation is surrounded by several formations. Perhaps the fourth formation you're facing is actually a formation that can be considered exquisite even among the Spatial Nether Formations. It's far beyond your understanding. Even a formation master may not be able to break it easily."
Deng Ming wanted to grab his hair, but then he remembered that his head was already shining. He simply touched his shiny skull and chuckled, "Perhaps. It's just that I've spent several years on this formation. I really don't want to give it up, but I've forgotten about the others."
"Actually, you don't have to spend all your time on this formation. You can go and study the other formations. That way, the difficulty will be much lower. Once you've completely understood the seven formations and obtained the qualifications of a formation grandmaster, wouldn't it be better to come back and study this formation? Even if you still can't completely understand it at that time, you can start from the formations at the side and go around this formation. You'll still be able to obtain the relics left behind by the remains."
Deng Ming smiled and said, "Perhaps it's because I've been stuck in a dead end. I've been studying this formation for some time, and it's not that I don't have any clues. It's just that the progress is a little slow. I really can't stop. I always feel that as long as I persist for a while, I can find a key node and break this formation. I've been like this for four or five years."
Lu Ping nodded and said, "Then what do you want me to do?"
"I need the help of senior's eye technique to find a few key formation nodes. This way, I can deduce the operation of this formation based on these nodes and open this formation."
"Alright!"
Lu Ping performed the "Three Pure True Pupils" to the extreme. Suddenly, six light spots converged on the formation. Four of them were already found and marked by Deng Ming, and the other two were not found by him.
When Lu Ping pointed out the two nodes, Deng Ming inevitably showed a suspicious look on his face. He said, "That's it?"
Lu Ping didn't say anything. Deng Ming still seemed to be worried. He spread a dense fog wall above the formation's shield with his Zhen Yuan, and no one knew what he was calculating. After a while, he said in surprise, "These two are really the key points of the formation. How could I not think of it? The" Three Pure True Pupils "is really the most famous eye technique in the world of cultivation. No wonder those formation cultivators from famous sects practice it. It's really good for the study of formations."
"You can open it now?"
"Uh, that's not enough. At least I need to find the eight nodes on the formation where the spiritual energy converges. Only then can I open the formation without damaging the formation's foundation. After that, I can easily restore it."
"Actually, if you use these six nodes to weaken the formation's strength as much as possible, I can easily break this formation."
Deng Ming's expression changed. He said, "No!"
"Why? You should know that this will save you a lot of time. Moreover, you can easily take out the inheritance of the formation master's remains. "
Deng Ming still stubbornly shook his head and said, "No! This ancestor's relic is the holy land of formations. It can't be destroyed! "
Lu Ping was exasperated, but there was nothing he could do. After a while, he said, "What if I destroy it now and you repair it in the future?"
Deng Ming stopped his calculations and said, "Senior is not a formation cultivator. Perhaps you don't agree with the insistence of formation cultivators like me. In that case, I'll talk about something else. Ever since the Kong Ming Faction was destroyed by the combined forces of the overseas sects, the formation here has actually been linked together in a strange way. It's like fallen vines tangling together. Although it's a broken formation, it's actually more difficult to deal with than the intact Kong Ming Faction's protective formation."
"So what?"
"That is to say, if Senior uses a strong method to break the formation, it will definitely cause the entire formation to shake, which will alarm the formation masters currently cultivating in the Kong Ming Formation. The furious formation masters will immediately follow the clues and find this place. After that, Senior will face the encirclement of all the formation masters currently cultivating in the formation!"
Deng Ming paused, then emphasized, "The encirclement of the formation masters!"
"This is a heaven for formation masters. In the past, in order to maintain the integrity of the formation, the formation masters here worked together to kill countless cultivators who tried to break the formation by force. Among them, there were many new talents and old masters from the various sects. According to what I know, there were even two people who were at the level of a great cultivator. Because they thought that their status was extraordinary and they were skilled, they provoked the anger of the masses and were attacked by the formation masters. In the end, they died with grievances."
Lu Ping was dumbfounded when he heard this. Deng Ming, who was beside him, knew that nothing he said would be of any use. Only these words would be effective, and he could not help but shake his head. Lu Ping really did not want to speed up and break the formation by force. At this moment, he even somewhat regretted coming to the Kong Ming Sea at this time. At this time, his cultivation had already reached the limit of the early Dharma stage. If he had not used a secret technique to seal his cultivation, he would probably have immediately attracted the first lightning tribulation.
Although Deng Ming did not know why Lu Ping had come to the Kong Ming Sea, he could roughly guess. Therefore, when he saw that Lu Ping was a little upset, he said, "I will now use these six nodes to shake the entire formation in different ways. Senior, see if you can find new nodes when the formation is shaken."
Lu Ping looked a little hesitant and said, "Shake the formation? It won't arouse the suspicion of others, will it? "
Deng Ming smiled and shook his head. "No, it won't. I know what I'm doing. This level of shaking will not break any of the formations in the Kong Ming Legacy Formation, and it will not attract the attention of other practitioners."
Lu Ping had originally thought that this method of testing would be completed very quickly. However, he did not expect that the different methods that Deng Ming had mentioned not only included using a secret technique to search for the nodes, but at the same time, it also included using different combinations of nodes to test the formation. Furthermore, when different combinations appeared, some of the formation equipment that had been set up would have to be changed. In order to speed up the process, Lu Ping had to help. The entire process took more than a month. With Lu Ping's help, they finally found the other two nodes, and Lu Ping's gain was that his knowledge of formations had been greatly enriched.
"Haha, it seems that our speed is still very fast. Senior's Eye Sorcery is really powerful!"
Lu Ping was speechless. He had been waiting for more than a month and had long been impatient. However, on the other hand, Deng Ming had spent four years to find the four nodes of the formation. Although it was often the most difficult to crack a formation at the beginning, as more nodes were found, more things could be deduced. However, it had only taken him a month to find four nodes, which was really very fast. In the end, he said helplessly, "You'd better hurry up. Eight nodes are enough now. Hurry up and open this formation!"
Deng Ming knew that Lu Ping was anxious, but he was still setting up the equipment to break the formation at a steady pace. He strived to succeed in one go.
He was a Rogue Cultivator, and various kinds of cultivation resources were scarce. He had to rely on himself to collect them. Therefore, the layout of the formation was very detailed, and he strived to not make any mistakes. Even though Lu Ping had helped him a lot of spiritual materials that could be used to make the equipment, Deng Ming still did not dare to be careless.
However, the result disappointed Lu Ping. After Deng Ming communicated with the eight nodes, he still failed. The formation still could not be opened.
Seeing the disappointment on Lu Ping's face, Deng Ming smiled and said, "Actually, Senior does not need to be disappointed. I have said before that there is a possibility of opening it by communicating with the eight nodes. Now that I cannot open it, it only means that the layout of this formation is extremely exquisite. It even far surpasses the other formations in the Lost Formation. We need to find more nodes to open it."
Lu Ping said unhappily, "Didn't you study formations here with the aim of breaking the seven formations and becoming a Formation Grandmaster? Wouldn't it be better if you went to study other formations? Why did you have to gnaw on this formation? Now that you have used all kinds of methods and combinations, you can only find eight nodes. How much more time do you need to spend on the rest?"
Deng Ming was not the slightest bit affected by Lu Ping's anger. Instead, he threw himself into the study of formations with even greater enthusiasm. It seemed that the exquisiteness of this formation had exceeded his expectations and made him even more excited.
After hearing Lu Ping's words, Deng Ming smiled and said, "It won't take much time. Senior, have you forgotten that we can combine the seventh and eighth nodes into many more combinations?"
Lu Ping helplessly rolled his eyes. He hadn't gained anything else in the past month, but it seemed that he had become more proficient in using the Tri-Pure True Pupils. He could now display its full power.
This time, it didn't take much time. After seven days, the two of them had combined their efforts to find four nodes. Then, Deng Ming finally opened a door on the protective barrier of the formation. The two of them entered the door, and the door slowly closed.
Not long after the two of them entered the fourth formation, a door suddenly opened behind the third formation that had been opened by Deng Ming. Mister Wen entered the door and looked all around. Then, his eyes finally landed on the protective barrier of the fourth formation. Then, he sneered and said, "It's just a small trick. It's a pity that a talented Formation Master would be wasted."
