"Spatial Formation?"
Zhang Xuan was perplexed.
He had heard of Beguilement Formations, Illusory Formations, and Slaughter Formations, but what was a Spatial Formation? What was the difference between it and folded space?
"A Spatial Formation is a self-contained space within a formation. It's not as stable as folded space, but it makes it easier for it to contain Slaughter Formations, Illusory Formations, Beguilement Formations, and the like...
President Han's voice trembled.
As a Seven Star pinnacle formation master, he knew how fearsome a Spatial Formation could be. If one were to fall into it, their consciousness would be affected by the laws of nature, making it impossible for them to escape. More importantly, there was a good chance that formidable Slaughter Formations were hidden within it. No matter how powerful one was, as long as one hadn't reached Saint 9-dan, it would be impossible for one to breach it.
Hearing those words, the crowd glanced at one another, and frowns appeared on their foreheads.
Even though they weren't too familiar with Spatial Formations, President Han had always been a composed person. For him to be able to make such a frown, there was no doubt that this was an extremely fearsome place.
"What if I were to breach this formation?" Zhang Xuan asked.
Who cared if the formation was formidable or not? At the very most, it would just be a waste of effort. There was no need for him to be so nervous!
"Other formations can be breached, but a Spatial Formation is impossible. Unless... you possess the strength to withstand the shattering of space without harming yourself!"
President Han said.
Zhang Xuan's lips twitched upon hearing those words.
Putting aside the fact that he was only a Nascent Saint, even if he were to raise his cultivation by six or seven cultivation realms, he would still be unable to withstand it. In fact, his Primordial Spirit might even be torn apart by the shattering of space!
If one were to live within space, how could one survive if the space were to shatter?
Without the skin, how could the hair attach itself to it?
"That's right! This is precisely the reason why a Spatial Formation can only advance in accordance with the path laid out by the other party! "
At this point, President Han's voice grew deep. "In other words, we are already in the ancient domain, and every step we take is fraught with danger..."
"Fraught with danger?"
Grim expressions appeared on the faces of the crowd.
As difficult as the previous two tests were, they weren't too dangerous if one was unable to clear them.
It was just like how it was impossible for one to pass through the scorching lava to enter the palace below, but one would be able to fly above the lava for the time being.
As for the second trial, as long as one didn't attack the seal, they wouldn't be harmed even if they stayed inside for a few years.
But now, according to President Han's tone, things would be different after entering this array space. Regardless of whether they walked or not, whether they moved forward or not, danger could appear at any time. In other words, the test of this relic had just begun.
"Since we're already here, we might as well take things as they come. Since this is the real ancient domain, it means that Zhang Yinqiu and the others have definitely been here before. We can find the path that they took. As long as we can find it, we'll be much safer!"
Wu Tianqiong said.
"That's right!" The others nodded at the same time.
This time, Zhang Xuan had already put his life on the line. Since he had already entered the ancient domain, it meant that he had already achieved his goal. He had not taken the wrong path, so he should be happy instead.
"Zhang Yinqiu and the others came two years ago, so even if there were any traces of them, they should have already dissipated by now. However, since they were able to send news out, they must be trapped somewhere. As long as we advance forward, we should be able to find something …"
Wu Shi nodded as he led the way forward.
There was no way to confirm whether the old principal was dead or alive, but since he was able to send news out, it was likely that he was still alive. Since he was still alive, there was no doubt that he would have left behind some traces for others to find. Otherwise, there would be no point in sending news out.
"Un."
Zhang Xuan silently activated his Eye of Insight to scan the surroundings, and after a moment, he couldn't help but shake his head.
Regardless of whether it was the array space or the folded space, the person who had left this place was far stronger than him. Even the Eye of Insight, a unique ability that only appeared once every ten thousand years, was unable to see through it.
Flaws … Zhang Xuan thought.
Not too long later, he shook his head as well.
Even though this was a formation, the Library of Heaven's Path was unable to do anything about it. It was as if the Library of Heaven's Path was unable to do anything about it.
It was just like how it was impossible to use the rising of the sun and setting of the moon in the outside world to find flaws in the world.
The area of effect was simply too vast. Even the Library of Heaven's Path was unable to do anything about it.
It seems like I can only take it one step at a time …
Knowing that there was nothing he could do about it, Zhang Xuan sighed deeply. Thus, he followed behind the others and proceeded forward.
It must be said that the array space was simply too lifelike. If not for the fact that he knew that he was deep beneath the lava, he might have really thought that he was walking in a warm and sunny mountain range.
Walking along the path, looking at the lush greenery around him, not only did he not feel any fear from entering the ancient domain, he felt a sense of tranquility instead.
This was especially so when he heard the moaning of the trees as the mountain breeze blew against them. It felt like he was standing aloof from worldly affairs.
"Isn't there no danger here?"
"Indeed! I feel that the spiritual energy here is abundant. If I don't want to fight in the future, I can just stay here! "
"The environment here is indeed good. It's suitable for cultivating one's mind …"
…
After walking for a while, everyone's eyes lit up in excitement.
Previously, President Han had spoken of how terrifying this place was, and they had been extremely nervous. However, after walking for a while, they realized that it was far from what he had said. On the contrary, it felt peaceful and tranquil.
Walking in the midst of it, one could not help but feel like staying here for the rest of their lives.
"Something is wrong. Everyone, stay alert. We might be under attack …"
Just as the group was about to proceed forward, President Han couldn't help but exclaim, "Under attack?
"Guild Leader Han, you must be joking, right? Why don't I see anything? "one of the combat masters asked with a chuckle.
"Indeed. I think that President Han is being a little too paranoid. With so many of us here, if we were really under attack, we would surely notice it," another combat master said.
Every one of them was a veteran of the battlefield. If they were really attacked, they would definitely fight back. It was impossible for them to feel nothing like what they were doing now.
"Not noticing anything is the scariest part!"
President Han said with an awful complexion.
If it was an open assault, even if they were no match for the other party, they could still put their lives on the line. However, what they feared the most was a frog being cooked in warm water.
"Did President Han notice something?" Wu Shi asked.
"Did you all notice that ever since we entered this place, our tense nerves have completely relaxed. Under such circumstances, if we were to encounter any danger, we wouldn't even have the means to deal with it …"
President Han said. "Furthermore … More importantly, despite walking for so long, we still can't see the end of the path. It's as if there's something pulling us forward! This is simply too bizarre … "
"This …"
Wu Shi was taken aback.
He wouldn't have noticed it if the other party hadn't mentioned it, but now that the other party had mentioned it, he immediately felt that something was amiss.
Walking in this place was simply too relaxed, such that even the most basic of defenses had been tossed to the back of one's mind. Putting everything aside, just this point alone was extremely bizarre.
"Pu!"
While the duo was still discussing the matter, the sound of someone spurting blood suddenly sounded not too far away. Hurriedly turning their heads over, they saw the combat master who had said that President Han was being overly paranoid. Blood was flowing down his lips nonstop, but a faint smile still hung on his face as he continued advancing forward.
"This …"
Seeing how that fellow was spurting blood nonstop, as if he didn't know pain, the corners of his lips were even curled up into a faint smile …
Upon seeing this sight, the duo couldn't help but shudder in fear.
The sight before them was simply too bizarre!
No matter how knowledgeable they were, they had never seen such a bizarre sight before.
"His zhenqi is completely depleted, and his stamina is running out …"
A moment later, Wu shi's face darkened.
With his eye of discernment as a Seven Star master teacher, he could easily tell that the combat master's condition was due to his depleted zhenqi.
How long had it been?
How could a combat master who was known for his endurance be unable to withstand it?
Just as President Han was perplexed by the situation, Wu Shi's anxious voice sounded once more. "Take a look at your dantian …"
"Dantian?"
Taken aback, President Han lowered his head to take a look, and with a single glance, his eyes narrowed in astonishment.
The zhenqi within his body was nearly completely depleted. If one were to compare his dantian to a pond, it would be on the verge of drying up.
"My zhenqi … Why is it being depleted so quickly?"
Zhang Xuan's body trembled uncontrollably.
President Han was a Seven Star pinnacle formation master, a Saint 4-dan pinnacle expert. He was the strongest of the group, and his zhenqi was also the most abundant. Putting aside walking, he could even fight for two hours at a time without running out …
Yet, in just a short journey, he had already depleted his zhenqi. What in the world was going on?
This was too frightening!
Pu! Pu! Pu!
While Zhang Xuan was still in a state of shock, the sound of blood spurting could be heard once more. Another few weaker combat masters spurted blood, and even the faces of Wo Tianqiong, Shen Pingchao, and the other two principals of the Master Teacher Academy had turned ghastly pale, and veins were bulging on their foreheads. It was as if they were on the verge of collapse.
This was especially so for Wu Tianqiong. Not only was his complexion awful, his hair seemed to have turned even whiter, as if he had aged ten years in the blink of an eye.
"This …"
President Han's body trembled as he turned to look at Wu Shi.
Even though he was certain that they were in the Formation Emanation Dimension and knew that it was dangerous, he had no idea what was going on at all.
"I have no idea as well …" Wu Shi shook his head.
It was as if they had fallen into a deep well. Even though they had read countless books, they were still unable to comprehend what was going on.
"It is likely that we have been drawn in by the sound of the wind and fallen into a unique state. Not only will our zhenqi be depleted rapidly, our lifespan will also be depleted. If we don't walk out of it, we will end up in the same state as them, walking forward tirelessly until our zhenqi and blood essence are completely depleted!"
While the duo was still perplexed by the situation, Zhang Xuan's voice suddenly sounded.
Turning around, they saw a deep frown on the young man's forehead, seemingly deep in thought.
(I have already corrected the question in the previous chapter. Actually, the ancient times favored males over females, and there was nothing that could be done about it. Cough cough. As for now, let's not talk about it anymore. I'm going to prepare dinner and wash the dishes. Wuuuu.)
