Under the perception of Lu Xuan's Divine Consciousness, lines of runes appeared clearly in Lu Xuan's eyes, outlining a huge and magnificent formation!
Countless strands of scattered soul power continued to gather in the formation. More and more, the traces of the formation became clearer and clearer. Even without using soul power, one could see the formation with the naked eye.
"What a grand plan …" Lu Xuan looked at the formation floating in the air and murmured, "With the mountain as the eye, the river as the line, and the remnant souls as the power, this formation is too grand!"
"Xuan 'er, what's going on?" A light breeze blew, and Ye Wuheng had already flown to Lu Xuan's side. She stared at the faintly discernible talisman formation in the air and asked with a serious expression.
Immediately after, there were a few more whooshing sounds. Ye Wenjun, Ling Jin, and the others all withdrew themselves from the Jiuhua Alliance and gathered around Lu Xuan.
They knew that Lu Xuan would never do something without a purpose. He suddenly flew into the air, so he must have discovered something. Moreover, everyone present had discovered the existence of this huge formation. When it came to the study of soul techniques and spiritual formations, no one present, or even the entire Heavenly Sword Continent, could surpass Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan didn't look back at the crowd. He was still carefully examining the formation that was becoming clearer and clearer. Then he said in a low voice, "This formation is definitely the work of Saul. Such a grand plan, no one in the Illusionary God Sect could have the ability to do this. Even I can't do it now."
"What kind of formation is this? It covers such a wide area, including all eight of our strongholds. It was obviously premeditated. Does Saul want to trap and kill us?" Ye Wuheng asked with a frown.
Under everyone's gaze, Lu Xuan slowly shook his head. "I can't tell. There are so many formations in the world. Moreover, Saul is from the Soul Clan of the Tianyuan Realm, and he has some secret skills that we don't know about. However … I can see that this is not a trapping formation, nor is it an offensive formation. "
Lu Xuan pointed to the left where everyone was looking and said, "Look over there, that mountain and the small river surrounding it form the character 'Assemble'. Look to the right, the three small mountains form the corner of each other, forming the character 'Congeal'..."
Lu Xuan pointed at a few places, and all of them were runes that were commonly used in auxiliary formations. As long as it was an offensive or besieging formation, there would be no lack of offensive or defensive runes, but it was impossible for there to be so many auxiliary runes.
"Can it be broken?" Ye Wenjun turned his head and looked at Lu Xuan. He didn't understand talisman arrays, and he only had the sword in his hand. In his opinion, using one sword to break all techniques was the simplest method. However, Lu Xuan's answer disappointed him.
"We can't break it now. If we had sensed it before, it would have been easy to break it. But now that the formation has been formed, if you want to break it, you will have to fight against the entire formation's power. Saul's formation borrows the power of heaven and earth, and also gathers the power of countless remnant souls. How can we break it with just a few people? "
"What is Saul trying to do?" Ye Guangjian stroked his beard and asked with a frown.
Lu Xuan looked around and memorized the runes that he saw. He constantly sketched them in his mind, and placed them according to the positions that Saul had set up. Soon, a miniature version of the formation appeared in Lu Xuan's mind.
It seems familiar? Lu Xuan thought to himself. Then, he went through the formations that he had seen before. He suddenly remembered that Saul's formation was extremely similar to the commonly used Spirit Gathering Formation. Even the runes were mostly the same!
For a moment, Lu Xuan could not help but turn pale. The Spirit Gathering Formation used the power of the formation to gather the spirit energy of the world for people to absorb for cultivation. However, Saul's formation … absorbed the power of countless remnant souls!
Gather Runes, Condense Runes, Purify Runes, Transform Runes … The effects of all the runes flashed through Lu Xuan's mind. He had already understood Saul's real intention, or rather, his real purpose!
Seeing Lu Xuan's face suddenly change, everyone couldn't help but be on tenterhooks. They knew that Lu Xuan must have found something.
"Xuan 'er, what did you find? Tell us quickly," Ye Wuheng urged.
Lu Xuan's lips curled up, revealing a bitter smile that was uglier than crying. He said, "This formation … is a Soul-gathering Formation …"
"Soul-gathering Formation?" Everyone repeated Lu Xuan's words at the same time. Ye Wuheng was deep in thought, and Ye Wenjun frowned. Just from the name alone, they already had a bad idea. Then, Lu Xuan opened his mouth again.
"Saul has a good plan …" Lu Xuan kept shaking his head. "Just as we realized that only by defeating Saul can we end this war, Saul also clearly knows that only by killing all of us can he really sweep away all the obstacles."
"Our strength can't improve too much in a short time, but Saul is different. His realm is still there, and it's just that his strength has been damaged. He doesn't need to improve at all. He only needs to recover his strength, or even 70 or 80 percent of it, and it'll be enough to make all of us suffer!"
"He chose the Illusionary God Sect first, because all the disciples of the Illusionary God Sect practice soul techniques, and their soul power is far stronger than ordinary people. Then, he set up such a huge Soul-gathering Formation, destroyed our other strongholds, and included the remaining eight strongholds. Finally, he put a soul seal on all the disciples of the Illusionary God Sect, forcing them to come here to die. All of them died within the scope of this formation, and all the remnant souls were also left in this formation. Finally, he used the Soul-gathering Formation to gather all the remnant souls, purify them, and turn them into the purest soul power …"
"Once Saul absorbs such a huge soul power, even if it's not enough for him to recover to his peak state, he can at least recover 80 percent of his strength! All of us became knives in his hands, and he used our knives to kill the people of the Illusionary God Sect. In turn, the Illusionary God Sect also killed our people, and all of our lives became sacrifices for Saul to recover his strength! "
Lu Xuan's clear voice echoed in the air. Everyone was silent. They were shocked by Lu Xuan's analysis. This was a trap, one after another, dug by Saul long ago, waiting for them to jump, and they had no choice but to jump.
"Saul only has 50 percent of his strength, but he's already on par with us, and he can even hurt us. Once he recovers to 80 percent of his strength, I'm afraid all of us will die," Ye Wuheng said in a low voice.
A peak Soul Elder with 80 percent of his strength, an expert close to becoming a Soul Sage, with only a few Grand Virtualized Realm cultivators, and not even a single Transcendent Realm cultivator, how could they resist him?
"We can't let him recover his strength smoothly!" Ye Guangjian said firmly, "At least before he recovers, we still have a chance!"
"That's right!" Ye Wenjun said with his head held high, "Now that the formation is here, I think Saul should be appearing soon. In front of us, does he still want to quietly recover his strength? It's not that simple! Xuan 'er, quickly calculate the most likely location for Saul to appear! "
