Compared to the inner sect disciples in the second layer of Sky Beyond the Sky, the Seven Moons Sect disciples in the third layer might have been shocked, but their expressions remained calm. After all, it was just the first and second formations. They might not be able to clear them so easily, but it was not difficult for them either.
However, the derision that had originally been on their faces had mostly disappeared by then, replaced by seriousness as they stared at Su Ming. Su Ming's act of breaking the Rune had already shocked them.
Only the people in the fourth layer were still mocking him.
"This is nothing. It's not that we can't do it, it's just that there's no need for us to do it."
"It's clear that he doesn't have enough confidence, that's why he's using this method to regain some of his dignity!"
"Heh heh, the first three formations are nothing. When the fifth formation is over, the Rune will show its power. I wonder whether this person will have the chance to see it."
They were not the only ones who reacted this way. Ye Long's expression remained the same. His expression did not change just because Su Ming had cleared two formations. He had never underestimated Su Ming. Based on his judgment, Su Ming could clear the fifth formation, but he would definitely face difficulties during the sixth and seventh formations.
However, in the next instant, their expressions changed.
When the Feng Shui compass gathered under Su Ming, a large number of runic symbols appeared above him to form an even larger Feng Shui compass. At the instant the third formation appeared, Su Ming appeared on the second Feng Shui compass above him. He lifted his foot and stepped on it lightly.
Booming sounds instantly shook the sky and earth. As they reverberated in the air, they drowned out the thunder, causing lightning to no longer appear. The Feng Shui compass under his feet crumbled again, and the Feng Shui compass beneath it also crumbled. The brilliant light formed by the two Feng Shui compasses crumbling at the same time … caused the pupils of all the disciples in the fourth layer of Sky Beyond the Sky to shrink.
In fact, some of the disciples in the third layer had already stood up and walked to their respective cliffs. Their expressions changed, and they focused their gazes on the formations.
As for the disciples on the second level, they were in an uproar. There was no need to even mention the Outer Sect disciples on the first level. As their voices echoed out, cries of astonishment rang out.
The collapse of the first and second formations was not enough to explain the problem. After all, the first and second formations had a limit. As long as one had enough power to surpass that limit, one could do it. For example, if the limit was ten, then eleven could cause the formation to explode. Similarly, even ten thousand could cause the formation to collapse. Therefore, ordinary cultivators would not be able to tell how strong the formation was. However, as the formation increased, the limit would continue to increase. For example, the third formation was ten times stronger than the second formation.
Yet … as Su Ming's expression remained the same, he still crumbled with a single step!
This scene was enough to shock many people.
However, it was destined that this rainy night was just the beginning of the shock. At the instant all the cultivators' gazes gathered on Su Ming, his words echoed in all directions and fell into almost every cultivator's ears.
"Fourth formation." Right when he spoke, the whistling sounds from the Rune were piercing to the ears. In an instant, the Feng Shui compass formed by the two collapsed runic symbols gathered together under Su Ming's feet.
The runic symbols rotated at the same time and exuded waves of even stronger mighty pressure. It was as if the might of heaven had descended, as if an invisible hand had appeared out of thin air to seize Su Ming.
Su Ming's expression remained the same. Not a single hint of change could be detected on his face. When he spoke of the fourth formation, he lifted his right foot and stomped on it. Booming sounds reverberated through the world once again. As the Feng Shui compass under his feet shattered, the Feng Shui compass crumbled. The second Feng Shui compass beneath it also shattered into pieces.
It was as if this was not the fourth formation, but the first formation. This scene shocked the hearts of all the onlookers once again, but before their buzzing and shocked voices could be heard, Su Ming floated in midair. His robes fluttered in the wind, and his purple hair danced in the air. He looked disheveled, and thunder rumbled behind him. As lightning intersected with each other, his body became incredibly clear.
"Fifth formation!" When he said those words, the thunder instantly acted as a foil to him. The lightning wanted to retreat, and the rain came to a standstill. The third Feng Shui compass appeared under Su Ming's feet. It was so big that when it manifested, the two collapsed Feng Shui compasses gathered together once more.
The three Feng Shui compasses floated in the air, and Su Ming stood on them. At that moment, his figure became the center of attention. Ye Long's face was slightly pale in the distance. He stared at Su Ming. He had not expected that Su Ming would … clear four formations in one go so easily!
He could imagine that Su Ming would clear four formations, but he did not expect … that it would be so simple. It was so simple that he felt as if everything he had done during the past eight years had turned into a joke.
It made him feel that all the challenges he had issued over the past eight years were nothing more than mockery.
At that moment, the other cultivators in the fourth layer no longer mocked him. Instead, they focused their gazes on Su Ming. No one mocked the people from the third line either, because they were already shocked by Su Ming's feat of clearing the formations.
Most of the people in the third layer were already standing at the edge of the cliff at that moment. They were all staring at Su Ming. As for the second layer, it was already occupied by almost all the people, and it was even more so for the outer sect disciples in the first layer of Sky Beyond the Sky.
"It's just the first four formations. Let's see whether he can clear the fifth and sixth formations so easily!"
"That's right. All of us have cleared more than seven formations, especially eldest senior brother Fei Feng from the first line. He's the strongest among us, and he's already cleared nineteen formations!"
"Besides senior brother Fei Feng, senior brother Chen Tao from the second line has also cleared seventeen formations!"
"That's right. There's also senior sister Yue Yan from the third line. I remember that she cleared sixteen formations. There are also some others who cleared ten formations. That Wang Tao … is still just a joke."
"Hmph, there's not a single head disciple of the thirteen Mountain Leaders from the thirteen lines who has cleared less than thirteen formations!"
As the disciples in the fourth layer discussed among themselves, Su Ming lowered his head to cast a glance at the Feng Shui compass under his feet after the three Feng Shui compasses gathered together again. For the first time, a strange light shone in his eyes.
'These Feng Shui compasses … the more I look at them, the more similar they are to Xuan Zang's Feng Shui compass …' Su Ming's eyes sparkled. He could sense that as the three Feng Shui compasses continued rotating, they exuded an increasingly powerful mighty pressure. That power far surpassed what it was before, but it still could not shake Su Ming in the slightest.
However, as Su Ming continued watching them, he had a vague feeling that there was some sort of pattern to the three Feng Shui compasses' rotations.
'Dao Divinity Shadow Descension Rune. Since this Rune has this name, then it must be connected to the Seven Lives Art …' Su Ming fell into a moment of pensive silence. He did not immediately destroy the Feng Shui compasses like before, but instead began observing them carefully.
As he did so, his pupils suddenly shrank. Gradually, he saw … two shadows on the two Feng Shui compasses beneath him, and they were Su Ming's!
'The level of the Rune right now is too low. I can't see too many changes …' A brilliant light shone in Su Ming's eyes. This time, he no longer took a step forward, but swung his arm. With it, the world roared, and the Feng Shui compass beneath him shuddered with a bang. As the people in the area cried out in surprise, the Feng Shui compass crumbled again. The two Feng Shui compasses beneath it also crumbled.
"The sixth formation!" Su Ming lifted his head, and the light of a deduction shone in his eyes. When he spoke again, the three Feng Shui compasses appeared beneath him again, and Su Ming lifted his right hand and swung his arm again.
Loud booming sounds shook the hearts of all the cultivators in the first three layers of Sky Beyond the Sky. Even quite a number of Seven Moons Sect disciples in the fourth layer of Sky Beyond the Sky began to doubt their previous judgment.
"This is … Could it be that he's going to clear the tenth formation?!"
"Could it be … Could it be that we'll see another person clear the tenth formation today? After all, there's only one person in Seven Moons Sect who can clear the tenth formation once every ten years.
Could it be that Wang Tao wants to clear the tenth formation?! "
"Impossible. With his level of cultivation, it's impossible for him to do this. The tenth formation is a little difficult even for us. That's why quite a number of us have cleared it, but besides our senior brothers and sisters who have cleared the thirteenth formation and above, none of us can be certain that we will be able to clear it if we try again!"
"That's right. This is too absurd. He's only been in the sect for a few years. There's no way it would be so easy for him to understand the tenth formation!"
As the disciples in the fourth layer of Sky Beyond the Sky discussed among themselves, Ye Long's face turned pale, as if he had to maintain his full strength so that he would not be forced back. He stared at Su Ming in a daze, and anguish gradually appeared on his face.
He came to a complete understanding. It was not that Su Ming had been avoiding him during the past eight years, but that he found it beneath him to challenge him. Right then, there was a high possibility that he was annoyed by Ye Long's pestering, which was why he attacked.
'Over the past eight years, I've always been a joke in his eyes … I, Ye Long, can't accept this! I can't!' A powerful fighting spirit appeared in Ye Long's eyes, but even he knew that it was fake. He had created it, and it was so weak that it would not exist …
"The seventh formation … He hasn't cleared the seventh formation yet!" When Ye Long mumbled, he looked towards Su Ming.
Three Feng Shui compasses gathered beneath Su Ming, and the fourth Feng Shui compass appeared above him. It was so big that it looked like a plain. At that moment, it floated above Su Ming and rotated along with the three Feng Shui compasses beneath him.
As it rotated, Su Ming lifted his head to look, and the light of understanding gradually appeared in his eyes. As the people around him watched and waited, a smile appeared on Su Ming's face.
"So that's how it is! Then, I'll bring out the eighth and ninth formations at the same time! " As Su Ming spoke, he lifted his right hand and swung his arm. This time, the Feng Shui compass did not crumble. Instead, more runic symbols appeared on the fourth Feng Shui compass, and they formed … the fifth Feng Shui compass!
