"This …"
Seeing this sight, President Han suddenly recalled something, and his eyes narrowed. With a quivering voice, he said, "I get it now …"
"You get it now?"
"What's going on?"
Even though Zhang Xuan had finally understood what was going on, the crowd couldn't help but turn to look at him in confusion.
Even a Saint 4-dan expert like Wu Shi couldn't damage the seal in the slightest with his full might. So, why would it suddenly dissipate and begin to crumble just by sprinkling a little of it?
"If I'm not mistaken, this seal is of the pure yang attribute, and it's extremely resistant to filthy substances and water. If it was just water, it would have been extremely difficult to decipher it. However, if the Spirit Solution of Vigor was used on it, it would have succumbed to the pressure and crumbled on its own …"
President Han said.
"Even the seals of the pure yang attribute don't have such a characteristic, right? Why haven't I heard of it before? "Wu Shi frowned.
He had seen quite a few seals of the pure yang attribute, but he had never heard of one that could be deciphered using urine. If it was that simple, there would have been no reason for the formation to exist.
"Of course, a pure yang attribute seal wouldn't have such a characteristic, but … if it was a flawless seal of the pure yang attribute, it would be hard to say. In truth, most formations are afraid of filthy substances. For example, some people are trapped in a formation, unable to decipher it no matter how hard they try. In the end, when a woman gives birth, the spiritual energy in the formation dissipates, resulting in the collapse of the formation! "
President Han said.
"This … I seem to have heard of it before …"
Mu shi nodded in agreement.
Women were of the yin attribute, and most people believed that the blood that flowed during childbirth was an extremely yin substance, making it ideal for deciphering formations. As such, there were quite a few people who used the blood to forge formation artifacts to decipher formations.
"To be able to decipher the flaws of the seal with just a glance, President Zhang's comprehension of formations is indeed astounding …"
Seeing that everyone had come to a realization, President Han turned to the young man floating in the air and remarked.
While the flawless seal of the pure yang attribute sounded simple, it wasn't as simple as it seemed. Even if one had a filthy substance like urine, if one couldn't find the nodes of the seal and sprinkled it over, not only would it fail to decipher the seal, it might even result in a backlash.
It was just like how the more powerful one's attack was, the stronger the backlash would be, and eventually, the more one would succumb to it.
That was how the seal worked.
On the surface, President Zhang's actions seemed simple. All he had to do was bring the barrel up into the sky, break it, and undo the seal. But in truth, the height of the barrel, the impact of the liquid, and the point where it landed on the seal … everything was off.
It required an extremely high degree of control.
Perhaps only this freak would be able to think of such a solution and succeed in one fell swoop without any mistakes.
One of the combat masters couldn't help but ask, "Such a bizarre deciphering method … How did Zhang Yinqiu and the others from Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy manage to get in?"
The others were also puzzled.
President Zhang was probably the only one who could come up with such a bizarre idea. Zhang Yinqiu was an upright and inflexible person, so even if he knew about it, he probably wouldn't be willing to do it.
"I'm not too sure how they managed to enter the ancient domain, but … the ancient domain has never appeared for so many years, and it was only after they entered that we were able to arrive here. Most likely, they have grasped some kind of secret that we are unaware of, or perhaps they have obtained the key to enter the ancient domain!"
President Han pondered for a moment before replying.
For any ancient domain, there was bound to be a key or a passageway artifact. As long as one had such an artifact with them, it would be much easier for them to decipher the seal. It would be much easier for them to break through the ancient domain than to barge into the ancient domain with brute force.
"That's indeed possible …" The crowd nodded in agreement.
That was true as well. Without the so-called 'key', it would have been difficult for them to enter the ancient domain. If not for President Zhang, they would have still been trapped above the lava, unable to do anything at all.
Geji! Geji!
While they were speaking, the liquid in the barrel continued to flow, and the seal that came into contact with it began to crack and dissipate. A moment later, a massive door appeared before everyone's eyes.
"We can enter now."
Zhang Xuan leaped down and tossed the barrel aside before heaving a sigh of relief.
When the Library of Heaven's Path showed the flaws, he knew that it was a Pure Yang Formation, and it just so happened that the liquid in the urine worked against it. That was why he had dared to come up with such a bold idea, and to think that it would actually work!
"Alright."
Everyone nodded at the same time and flew toward the door in unison.
As usual, Wu Shi was the first to enter. After confirming that there was no danger, he beckoned for the crowd to enter as well.
Previously, when they were outside the seal, they had felt an incomparable heat, but when they entered, they found that the heat had disappeared without a trace. Instead, they felt a slight cooling sensation coming from the door, as if what they had felt before was just an illusion.
"Could it be that we were mistaken?" one of the combat masters couldn't help but ask.
Previously, when they were outside the seal, they had been making use of the heat emanating from the door to cultivate, and it had been extremely beneficial to their cultivation. They had thought that they would be unable to withstand the heat after entering the door, but why did the opposite happen? Not only did they not feel any heat, they even felt a slight cooling sensation?
Could it be that everything they had experienced before was an illusion?
Wasn't that a little too bizarre?
"Everyone, don't panic. If I'm not mistaken, what we experienced before is real, and what we are experiencing now is real as well!"
President Han said with a grim expression. "There's a good chance that this is a formation that blends heat and cold together. Similar to the climate control formation, it's able to alter the temperature of the surroundings to induce different sensations."
Many of the Formation Master Guild members would set up formations that could control the temperature of the surroundings. Perhaps, this door was one such formation.
Previously, when they were outside, they had found the temperature to be unbearable. However, when they entered the door, it was very likely that they had triggered some kind of mechanism that adjusted the temperature of the surroundings.
"That's possible …" Hearing this explanation, the crowd nodded in agreement.
Even though they found it inconceivable that a formation could cause such a huge difference in the temperature of the surroundings, the person who had left behind the ancient domain had to be an extremely powerful expert. It wasn't unreasonable for them to have set up such a formation.
After all, due to the limitations of their cultivation, they might find it inconceivable, but that didn't mean that it was impossible. It was just like how President Zhang had deciphered the seal using his urine.
"This isn't a formation …"
The crowd nodded. Just as they were about to head in, a calm voice suddenly sounded. The one who had spoken wasn't Wu Shi or Zhang Xuan but the usually silent Lozosy.
"If it isn't a formation, what is it?"
Seeing how certain Luo Ruoxin was, the crowd turned to look at her in bewilderment.
"It's the manipulation of space!" Lozosy replied.
"Manipulation of space?" The crowd glanced at one another in bewilderment.
"Just like the folded space and the storage ring, this door leads to another dimension. It's on a completely different level from the one that was previously concealed under the seal, so naturally, it gives off a different feeling as well!"
Lozosy explained.
"Another dimension?" The crowd felt their bodies jolting in astonishment.
They could understand the implications of formations, but they couldn't fathom the implications of ascending to another dimension.
For the elder who had left behind the ancient domain to be able to reach such a level, just how powerful was he?
"It's said that a Saint 9-dan expert is able to comprehend the laws of space and set up a folded space, allowing living beings to enter it without feeling suffocated … Could it be that the owner of the ancient domain has already reached such a level?"
Wu Shi clenched his fists tightly.
As a Seven Star high-tier master teacher, he was privy to many secrets. While Saint 9-dan experts were rare, he had read some books on them, so he knew just how fearsome they were.
For them, the things left behind by such an expert could only be found by chance. However, any random mechanism or formation was not something they could understand.
Lozosy shook her head. It was hard to tell whether it was because she didn't know or because she was refuting Zhang Xuan's words.
"A Saint 9-dan expert is able to comprehend the laws of space?" Zhang Xuan blinked in astonishment.
To be honest, this news was a little too shocking for him.
On the Saint Ascension Platform, he had entered a folded space and had the Myriad Anthive Queen collect it. If that was the case … that folded space had been left behind by a Saint 9-dan expert?
Back then, Kong Shi had only just achieved a breakthrough, so it was unlikely that he had set up the folded space himself. Thus, there was a good chance that an expert of such caliber had been following him loyally back then.
Given Kong Shi's unique charisma and capability, it shouldn't have been too difficult for him to take in a few followers who were stronger than him.
Back when I first arrived at the Master Teacher Academy to conduct the public lecture, I saw Lozosy walking amidst the crowd, but she didn't collide with anyone at all. It was as if she controlled space itself …
A thought surfaced in Zhang Xuan's mind, but he quickly shook his head with a bitter smile. That's impossible! She's only a 6-star master teacher. Even if she's stronger than me, it can't be by much. Most likely, it's some kind of unique secret art …
After reading through the books in the Master Teacher Academy, Zhang Xuan knew that the Master Teacher Continent didn't just have unique constitutions but bloodlines as well. There were many powerful clans that relied on the power of their bloodlines to execute secret arts that were far more powerful than their battle techniques.
It was precisely for this reason that the Sage Clans were feared by the Master Teacher Continent.
Perplexed, Zhang Xuan turned to Luo Ruoxin and asked, "How can you be certain that this isn't a formation but a manipulation of space?"
Wu Tianqiong and the others also looked at Luo Ruoxin doubtfully.
Indeed, a manipulation of space was far too profound a concept that they couldn't comprehend.
"It's simple. Just take a look ahead and you'll understand."
Lozosy blinked her eyes as she pointed forward.
Raising their heads, the crowd saw that after passing through the door, the scenery before them had changed.
Behind the door was a mountain range that stretched as far as the eye could see. Lush greenery covered the mountain range, and a warm aura emanated from it. It felt as if they had left Firesource City and arrived in a city that was reminiscent of spring.
"This is … a folded space? It's huge … "
Zhang Xuan was stunned.
Ever since the first time he saw the Myriad Anthive Nest, he had seen quite a few folded spaces, and he even had one himself … But such a huge one, he had never even heard of one before.
It was already incredible that his folded space had a diameter of several hundred meters, and yet, it was able to hold mountains and rivers … That was truly frightening!
One must know that the larger a folded space was, the greater the pressure from the outside world, and the lower the stability of the folded space.
How in the world did such a huge folded space do it?
"No, this isn't a folded space but … a Spatial Formation!"
While Zhang Xuan was still in the midst of his shock, he suddenly heard President Han's voice. Turning around, he saw the latter frowning, and his body stiffened.
