"That's right! Although the chances of encountering Song Yuanyi and the members of the Zhengqi League in the formation are rather small, it's entirely possible. But for Song Yuanyi and Luo Qiyin to appear in the Stop Gate at the same time is no mere coincidence. "
The Evil Emperor's brow furrowed even deeper while the Formation Elder appeared rather uneasy.
"It truly can't be explained as coincidence, but Wang Chong, boy, if it really is as you say, then everything is completely different. Moreover, based on what happened just now, we've probably become a thorn in their side. Otherwise, they wouldn't have used the Zhengqi League and the Five Ancestor Alliance to deal with us. "
The Formation Elder had an extremely uneasy expression, and if one looked carefully, one could see that his forehead was beaded with cold sweat.
"Furthermore, if I'm not mistaken, it's very likely that it's because I've seen through part of their formation that we've become their targets."
The Demonic Emperor was far from the only top-class experts who had entered the Origin Immortal Formation. There had also been Song Yuanyi and Luo Qiyin. If it had just been the Demonic Emperor, Wang Chong and the others would not have received such special 'care'. It was clear that he had implicated them.
This fact made the Formation Elder feel extremely guilty.
"Senior Zhou, it's not that simple. If not for you, we would have all been trapped in the formation until our deaths. Those people paid any price to draw out Song Yuanyi and Luo Qiyin precisely because Senior threatened them. As long as Senior was present, they wouldn't be able to threaten me, Master, or anyone else in the formation. Thus, it wasn't Senior who implicated us, but Senior who allowed us to be safe. "
Wang Chong sternly said.
"Is that so?"
The Formation Elder's jaw dropped in shock. He had only been thinking about how he had implicated Wang Chong and the Evil Emperor, but he had never imagined that there was something more important.
"It's always been like this."
Wang Chong smiled and nodded. He was not saying these words purely to comfort the Formation Elder. If not for the Formation Elder, he would never have been able to calculate the pattern of the formation's operation.
"The more these people do this, the more it proves that they are plotting something. At the very least, they have ulterior motives. If things go wrong, the people of the righteous and evil martial arts world and the righteous and evil sects will all be trapped here. No matter what, we must not let this happen. "
Wang Chong said in a deep voice.
Those who could appear here were all experts of the martial arts world. To Wang Chong, this was a force that could not be underestimated. A great calamity was coming, and a great crisis was waiting for this world.
These sect martial artists would be an extremely precious resistance force in the future. No matter what grudges these sects had with each other, no matter if they were good or evil, these people would be the core strength that could change the fate of humanity and the world.
"Senior, you can't let these people hide in the back so easily. They're toying with us. Let's join hands and destroy this formation. We'll give them a taste of our power!"
"Haha! Good! This kid is right! Let's work together and destroy this formation! "
Wang Chong's words stimulated the Formation Elder's pride. He had studied formations for several decades, but never before had anyone toyed with him like this.
The Formation Elder was proud and confident. No matter who these people were, he could not allow them to sit there peacefully.
"Senior Zhou, based on what we've seen so far, they can basically change the formation every twelve hours and force us out of the Rest Gate. From the looks of it, we have four hours at most. "
Wang Chong's eyes were wise and bright.
"There are only two ways to break the formation. One is to leave through the Life Gate, and the other is to destroy the core of the formation. Both of these methods can get us out of here."
"That's right! There really are only these two methods. "
The Formation Elder looked at Wang Chong, stroked his beard, and gave an appreciative nod. Although Wang Chong had only been studying formations with him for a very short time, his comprehension ability was extremely high. These two methods were truly the best way to deal with their current predicament.
"Leaving through the Life Gate can only save the three of us, while the others will remain trapped in the formation. This is also the easiest way to leave. The other method is to enter the core of the formation and destroy it, disintegrating the formation at its core. This is the most difficult, and there's an extremely high chance that we'll end up in the Death Gate. The closer we get to the core, the greater the danger, and we'll have to face the power of the entire formation! "
As Wang Chong's mind raced, he paused for a moment and then continued.
"But as long as there's a third faction controlling everything from the shadows, we can forget about leaving through the Life Gate. In the end, even if we do everything we can, we'll still die here. Relatively speaking, destroying the core of the formation is much more difficult and dangerous, but this is the most direct method. "
"Although I don't want to admit it, this truly is the only method we have at present."
The Formation Elder said after a long moment of silence.
He glanced at Wang Chong, a hint of worry in his eyes. He naturally knew how to break the formation, but the risks involved were far too great.
Ordinary formations only had one layer. Just like him, a few stones could form a formation. A more powerful formation could be divided into three layers. A more powerful ancient formation could have five, six, or even seven layers from the inside to the outside. A seven-layer formation was already considered top-class, but this Origin Immortal Formation had nine layers.
This formation was unique, its complexity and power surpassing any formation the Formation Elder knew of. It could truly be called the world's number one formation. Breaking it was easier said than done.
Although the Formation Elder had said that he would work together with Wang Chong, deep within his heart, not even he was confident in his ability to break the formation. Formations were not static. They were constantly changing, possessing far too many variables.
As the breaker of the formation, one not only needed to see the changes in the formation at the moment, the changes in the next second, and the changes in the second after that, one would also need to calculate the changes over an hour, perhaps even longer.
Moreover, the changes in the nine layers of the formation were all different, and linking them together required calculations on the order of one million, perhaps even more. The Formation Elder knew that he could not do all this in such a short amount of time.
"Senior Zhou, the two of us will work together. You will continue to calculate the changes in the Nine Palaces while I will be responsible for the changes in the formation positions. Life, Pain, Rest, Stop, View, Death, Alarm, and Open are my specialty."
Wang Chong's voice was firm and powerful.
"This … Wang Chong, kid, I have to warn you that the calculation of formations is no trifling matter. This involves calculations on the order of one million."
The Formation Elder uneasily said.
"Heh, it's only on the order of one million. I didn't ask!"
Wang Chong smiled and made a reassuring gesture.
“！！！”
The Formation Elder's words were already at the tip of his tongue when they came to a sudden halt. He could only stare in a daze at Wang Chong, unable to say a single word. Wang Chong's calm and composed smile made it very difficult for the Formation Elder to retort.
"This … this … fine, we'll do as you say!"
In the end, the Formation Elder swallowed back all his doubts.
Wang Chong paid no attention to what the Formation Elder was thinking. He straightened his body, scanned the gray space around him, and then closed his eyes. A moment later, an enormous wave of Psychic Energy surged out of his body and spread across the formation.
While in the formation, Wang Chong had realized that the Origin Immortal Formation had an interference effect on all kinds of senses, but compared to the interference of tangible energy, Wang Chong's Psychic Energy was the least affected.
One, two, three … Wang Chong used his Psychic Energy to sense the structure of the formation and imprinted it in his mind.
In the Psychic World, the entire formation was gray and indistinguishable. Moreover, his Psychic Energy could only extend for several thousand meters before reaching its limit. In other words, Wang Chong had no way of seeing the entire formation.
"This is enough!"
Wang Chong muttered to himself as he imprinted the incomplete formation in his mind.
At the start, Wang Chong really might have been helpless in this situation, but as he went from the Rest Gate to the View Gate, from the View Gate to the Stop Gate, and then back to the Rest Gate, Wang Chong had been practicing his understanding of formations while also deepening his understanding of the Origin Immortal Formation, comprehending many of the rules governing the formation's operation.
Although his Psychic Energy could only capture the incomplete world of the formation, Wang Chong could use his understanding of the rules governing the formation to deduce the rest. Rumble! Around five minutes later, Wang Chong's mind began to rumble, and as this rumbling continued, the incomplete Origin Immortal Formation in Wang Chong's mind began to operate according to some sort of rule.
Boom! One formation, two formations, three formations … like building blocks, more and more formation gates appeared out of thin air, attaching themselves to the incomplete formation in Wang Chong's mind. In a few short moments, the incomplete formation in Wang Chong's mind began to 'grow' in an inconceivable manner. It started from the left and right ends, and then from the outside to the inside, constantly 'growing'.
During this entire process, Wang Chong's mind was constantly calculating, and with each successful calculation, a small formation gate would appear in the Origin Immortal Formation in his mind.
Time slowly passed, and the Origin Immortal Formation in Wang Chong's mind became more and more complete.
On the other side, while Wang Chong was analyzing the Origin Immortal Formation, the Formation Elder was also performing complex calculations. Unlike Wang Chong, the Formation Elder simply sat cross-legged on the ground, his left hand forming a spell while his right hand drew concentric circles on the ground, and his mouth began to chant.
Qian Palace, Kan Palace, Gen Palace, Zhen Palace, Central Palace, Xun Palace, Li Palace, Kun Palace, and Dui Palace. The positions of the Nine Palaces were generally fixed.
