Desert Palace!
As expected of the desert palace!
Happy had already lost count of how many times he had lamented this in his heart!
The black sandstorm that appeared once every fifty years changed the color of the world, and only then did the tunnel open. The tunnel was hundreds of feet long. Even though it was narrow, it devoured more than one hundred Myth Realm elites' lives.
It was a fatal trap that only one out of every ten steps could be taken.
The exquisite yellow sand waterfall.
Mutated Ancient Black Sandstorm Scorpion.
Precious metals used to forge Divine Weapons.
All of these were merely the gains from wandering outside the desert palace!
Now …
Another great reward had appeared in the hall!
A long sword that had withstood the corrosion of time for hundreds of years had quietly stood in the hall for such a long time, still maintaining its own sword intent and temperament. Needless to say, this was definitely another divine weapon! Moreover, it was a high-quality high-grade Divine Weapon.
Happy was not the only one who felt his chest heat up. He quickly cast his gaze at the dozens of other large pits in the hall. The grandmasters around him all held their breaths, and their gazes became intense.
"Master …"
Thousand-faced Human Fox could not suppress the passion and impulse in his heart. He could not help but gulp and wipe off the sweat on his palms.
"The longswords in the caves are definitely high quality divine weapons, priceless … I really don't know which royal family created this great formation, there's a high-grade divine weapon in any random pit. There are forty-nine pits in the main hall, doesn't that mean there are forty-nine high-grade divine weapons? Tsk tsk! Rather than roaming the martial world for ten years, I might as well take a stroll outside the desert palace. "
"Don't act recklessly."
Happy knew that with Thousand-faced Human Fox's title as the Divine Thief in the Chinese plains, he would definitely be tempted, and he quickly sent a private message to warn him. "There are so many elites in the dao of heaven watching. If you don't want to die, endure it."
In fact, many of the experts present had the urge to go down and draw the high-grade divine sword. This was because even a sect's grandmaster might not be able to obtain a weapon of decent quality. Now that there was an ownerless sword in front of them, who wouldn't be tempted?
But the eight elites in the dao of heaven were around, and there was also the mysterious man in the fanged mask who killed at every turn. No one could be certain that they would be able to come back alive if they went down.
In comparison, the elites in the dao of heaven were much calmer.
Wu Zun frowned slightly and said,
"This sword might be a key to some mechanism in this hall."
"… En."
Everyone nodded.
The expressions of the Myth Realm elites in the area became stern, and when they stared at the high-grade divine weapon, their gazes became less passionate.
"Something's not right."
Evil King spoke.
"There are forty-nine such pits in the main hall. If we randomly pick one, there will be a Divine Weapon longsword. It's still too early to make a conclusion."
Ye Gucheng, Bi Xuan, the old zither player, and the others nodded.
"Not bad."
"It's not convenient for me to take action, so I'll have to trouble all of you to get all the sand out of the remaining forty-eight pits." Dongfang Bubai covered his mouth and tried his best to speak in a seductive tone, causing quite a number of people to shudder in disgust, but they did not dare to show it.
"Cough."
Ye Gu Cheng purposely coughed to attract everyone's attention. "Since the Eastern Sect is unwilling to do it, we won't force them to do it. We will each take charge of seven. After everyone has cleared out all the yellow sand, we will check carefully to see if there is a divine weapon in each of them, and if there is any connection between them."
"Alright!"
"I'll do it now."
"Leave this side to me." The old zither player and Ye Gucheng were the first to move. Then, the mysterious man in the fanged mask and Evil King slowly turned around.
Bi Xuan cast a cold glance at Evil King and Empress Yin before his gaze landed on Osaya. He did not say anything, turned around, and left as well.
Evil King and Empress Yin worked together, and in the blink of an eye, they left behind a pit.
Things were just as the people expected.
Just as they expected, there was a sword stuck deep in each of the pits. When the yellow sand in the forty-nine pits was completely cleared into the hall, the expressions of the people in the hall became much more stern.
Because at the same time they discovered the divine weapons, the remnant sword will in each sword seemed to have formed a strange resonance in the hall.
Buzz …
The divine weapons roared!
The forty-nine divine weapons shuddered together, and they formed a great sword will in the air above the hall. Everyone could sense a fierce sword will pointing at them.
This feeling of being targeted caused everyone to forget that there were forty-nine high-grade divine weapons under their feet, and they could obtain them at any time they wanted.
"What's this formation?!"
"No one is controlling it, and it has existed for hundreds of years, but it still has such power?!" When the old zither player spoke, a metallic sound rose, and it was incredibly piercing to the ears.
One of the eight people in the dao of heaven practiced the dao of the sword.
Ye Gucheng!
Ye Gucheng was the only one in the crowd who was the most sensitive to this formation.
'Sword formation!
This is a sword formation! '
'Everyone knows about it …' Happy naturally did not dare to say these words in front of Ye Gucheng. He only dared to criticize him in his heart.
Fortunately, he had a professional trap master beside him. He was Thousand-faced Human Fox, who was well-versed in everything after he understood the Amazing Log of the Seas and Mountains. When he noticed the second divine weapon, he had been mumbling behind him. He seemed to have thought of something.
"Master, this is bad."
"What's wrong?"
This was the last thing Happy wanted to hear right now, but he could only resist the urge to knock someone's head and ask for the reason.
"The Forty-nine Great Sky Force Formation is an ancient formation, and its power is extraordinary, but its power depends on the quality of the formation flags." Once Thousand-faced Human Fox noticed the astonishing sword will in the air, his expression turned incredibly sour, and he explained with a quivering voice, "If a normal elite controls the Great Sky Force Formation, they can fight against someone in the dao of heaven, but it also has a weakness. But if they use forty-nine divine weapons that are connected to spirit to serve as the formation flags …"
When he said this, Thousand-faced Human Fox sucked in a sharp breath.
Happy's heart was stuck in his throat.
"What will happen?"
Thousand-faced Human Fox turned his face around with great difficulty and stared at Happy. His tone was strange, and he enunciated each word clearly, "The Great Sky Force Formation is indestructible, and it has no weaknesses!"
"What kind of threat can a formation that no one controls be?" Happy knew that Thousand-faced Human Fox would not lie to scare him, but he still did not believe that forty-nine longswords could kill the elites in the dao of heaven, so he stiffened his neck and answered.
When he said this, just as he expected, Thousand-faced Human Fox smiled wanly.
"Master, I originally thought the same. Such a large sword formation needs someone to control it, but guess what I saw just now …"
"…"
When he saw that Happy's expression had turned sour, Thousand-faced Human Fox quickly spoke faster to explain, "Great Sky Force Formation, Geocentric Magnetism."
"What do you mean?"
"There's a paragraph in the Amazing Log of the Seas and Mountains that mentions that Geocentric Magnetism has a strange ability. They attract each other, and all divine weapons with Geocentric Magnetism attached to them will be able to compare to a full-powered strike from a Myth Realm martial artist when they touch Geocentric Magnetism."
When he heard this, Happy's expression instantly turned sour, and he swept his gaze over his feet.
"… Are you saying …"
"The entire hall is made up of Geocentric Magnetism." Thousand-faced Human Fox told him the news that Happy did not want to hear the most. "At that time, the emperor in power was incredibly rich, and he actually managed to infuse Geocentric Magnetism into such a large palace in the desert."
"But how is the sword formation supposed to work? Without any living beings, how is it supposed to work? "
"Good question …"
Thousand-faced Human Fox stared at Happy with a strange tone.
Happy's expression changed. Then, he extended a finger and pointed at himself. "Are you saying … that we're the ones who triggered this formation, and we're the ones who control this formation?"
"…"
Thousand-faced Human Fox nodded and smiled wanly.
"It's obvious that this palace has perfectly calculated the attraction of geocentric magnetism, and purposely created a mechanism that can only be triggered by something with a body of flesh and blood … If I'm not mistaken, we can only leave this palace and find the real desert palace if we break the Great Heavenly Spirit Formation! If we can't find it, we'll either be killed by the formation or trapped inside. "
As if they were responding to Thousand-faced Human Fox's explanation, the longswords in the forty-nine pits let out even clearer and more pleasant sword whines.
In an instant!
The sword will in the air became even sharper and more intimidating. The people in the hall instantly became nervous. They watched as the divine weapons swayed and shuddered madly before they were slowly pulled out of the pits. Their expressions were stern, and they drew their weapons.
"This is bad!"
"This is a sword formation that can be activated even if no one controls it. We're in big trouble now …" Ye Gucheng's expression was dark, and he said anxiously, "Right now, we can only take it one step at a time. For the time being, let's see whether there's a way to leave the hall!"
Right when he finished speaking, forty-nine dazzling rays of light shot out of the pits at an astonishing speed.
"So fast!"
"This speed is already comparable to a full-powered strike from a martial artist at the later stage of Myth Realm. He's not simple!"
"Everyone, be careful!"
Martial Paragon Bi Xuan, Ye Gucheng, Dongfang Bubai, and the other elites in the dao of heaven had their expressions become much more solemn.
Happy and his group obtained a warning from Thousand-faced Human Fox, and they did not dare to be careless. They resolutely left the group and formed a triangular formation. Each of them occupied one side.
Shick …
Shick! Shick!
Once the sword formation was activated in the hall, it did not seem to be immediately activated.
Forty-nine sword glares shot out of the pits at lightning speed and shot in all directions.
Under Happy's spiritual senses, the divine weapons swam around the smooth walls. The friction between them created sparks, and they let out piercing sounds.
The divine weapons quickly swam around the circular walls of the hall. They were very fast, and they were like fire snakes that slithered about. They looked incredibly magnificent and bizarre.
This scene caused the people in the hall to be even more vigilant. They held their breaths.
"The person who designed this formation is definitely a lunatic!" Thousand-faced Human Fox complained quietly into Happy and Osaya's ears.
"What's wrong?" Osaya was stunned.
Happy, on the other hand, managed to figure out something from Thousand-faced Human Fox's words. He frowned and quickly asked, "Did you discover something?"
"The person who created this sword formation might have thought that this palace will be buried for a long time. The first step of the sword formation is actually to sharpen the swords. Did you see that? The rust is slowly being removed." Thousand-faced Human Fox smiled wanly. "When they regain their former sharpness, the sword formation will truly be activated!"
