"Sect Master Gu, what's your decision?" Lu Qi asked as he looked at Gu Zheng and Miaomiao.
"There's a limit to one person's power. I think it's a good idea to work together," Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"Do you know anything about immortal formations? You act like you've already seen through them! "Gongsun Changsheng sneered.
"If I know, that means my master knows as well! I don't want to hear any doubts or provocations a second time. Otherwise, we'll talk with our strength! "
Meow Meow had already fought Gongsun Changsheng head-on once, and her strength had been acknowledged by both Gongsun Changsheng and Lu Qi. When she said those words, Gongsun Changsheng opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say anything to provoke her.
"Since we're already working together, there's no need to keep such a long face."
Lu Qi laughed and looked at Miaomiao. "Since we're already working together, what's your name? That way, we can have a name."
"I'm Miaomiao," Miaomiao said.
Lu Qi nodded. "Miaomiao, what do you think about breaking the formation?"
"Since you're looking for us to work together, you must have a way to break the formation. Let's do as you say!" Miaomiao said.
"Wrong! We're only looking for you to work together. As for Sect Master Gu, I hope he'll stay away from us while we're breaking the formation. I don't want to be ambushed! "Gongsun Changsheng said.
Miaomiao frowned. "A late-stage Soul Formation cultivator is afraid of a late-stage Soul Formation cultivator's ambush? If you want to work with me, sure, but my master has to come along. If not, then we're done! "
Lu Qi thought for a moment. "That's not a big deal. I agree with Sect Master Gu coming along."
Gongsun Changsheng stared at Miaomiao for a long time before looking at Gu Zheng. "Sect Master Gu, watch more, speak less, move less, and don't try any tricks. Otherwise, our cooperation will be canceled at any time!"
"Alright, let's go!"
Gu Zheng shrugged nonchalantly.
Since the temporary cooperation had been reached, no one said anything else. After all, everyone knew what this cooperation meant.
Gongsun Changsheng brought Gu Zheng and the others to the cave wall where the immortal array was. He raised his hand and injected his immortal energy into the cave wall.
A moment later, a dazzling light array appeared on the wall where Gongsun Changsheng had injected his immortal energy.
"This immortal formation is divided into three layers. What we are going to experience is the first layer of the immortal formation."
"The first level of the immortal formation is an illusion formation. In this formation, follow my footwork. Don't touch anything that I don't allow you to touch. Otherwise, everyone will be in trouble!"
"Let me remind you one last time. Don't think that you can ignore my words just because you are strong. This is the Heavenly Snail Cave. There are things that can kill us here!"
Following Gongsun Changsheng's instructions, a huge light formation appeared on the rocks at the top of the cave as he continued to channel his Immortal Force into the formation.
The light formation rotated rapidly, and the light it emitted was dazzling. Upon closer inspection, one would feel dizzy.
"Gongsun Changsheng, are we in an illusion now?" Lu Qi suddenly asked.
"Why do you say that?" Gongsun Changsheng asked.
"Although I don't sense any fluctuations in the energy of heaven and earth, I have a feeling that everything around me seems to be different." Lu Qi frowned.
"Yes, we are indeed in an illusion now." Gongsun Changsheng smiled.
Hearing Gongsun Changsheng's affirmative answer, Lu Qi's expression became more serious.
At this moment, although Gu Zheng didn't show anything on his face, his heart was full of shock. If not for the Weapon Spirit's reminder, he wouldn't even have the same feeling as Lu Qi!
As for Meow Meow, her expression was also calm. However, she also had the same feeling as Lu Qi.
"This Lu Qi is not simple. His senses are very sharp!" The Weapon Spirit said.
"Okay, got it." Gu Zheng thought.
"Phew …"
Gongsun Changsheng exhaled a long breath. Only then did he stop injecting his immortal energy into the stone wall.
"Unknowingly, we are deep in the immortal formation. I think this unusual situation should be enough to make you more cautious."
Gongsun Changsheng's voice paused, and then he said seriously, "What we have to do next is to break the formation, which is to follow the path of life in the illusion until we come into contact with the second immortal formation! Just like what I said before, follow my steps and don't touch anything! "
As soon as Gongsun Changsheng finished speaking, he walked straight to the stone wall. The originally solid stone wall became like a swamp, and his body was slowly swallowed up.
Lu Qi was the second. After nodding at Gu Zheng, he followed Gongsun Changsheng's footwork and walked into the swamp.
"The steps are correct. Follow them!" The Weapon Spirit said.
With the Weapon Spirit's verification, Gu Zheng gave Meow Meow a look. Meow Meow was the third to walk into the stone wall.
Gu Zheng felt as if there was a flash of light above his head. He looked up and saw that the light formation above the cave had lowered a little. It was as if it was floating in the void. The three people who walked into the stone wall were all stepping on the light formation. Gu Zheng could even see Meow Meow's naked body through the gaps in the formation.
"Don't look around. You'll get lost. In this illusion formation, it's best not to be too curious about everything," the Weapon Spirit reminded him again.
"Okay."
Gu Zheng responded. After calming himself down, he stepped into the stone wall.
Not only did it look like a swamp, but it also felt like a swamp when he entered. Amidst the sticky feeling, Gu Zheng's vision was pitch-black, as if a mysterious energy was dragging him forward.
The strange feeling only lasted for two seconds. Gu Zheng saw light in front of his eyes. The distance between him and Meow Meow was the same as before he entered the wall, and the position they were in was really on the light formation in mid-air.
Meow Meow turned around and smiled sweetly at Gu Zheng. Golden light flashed at the upper left corner of the room, and four holes appeared in the void. Four golden carps came out of the holes and swam about in the air, using the air as seawater.
"The first immortal formation is an illusion formation, but it's different every time you enter it. It's either a complete illusion or a mixture of reality and illusion."
As Gongsun Changsheng spoke, he flicked his sleeve and created a cyclone. One of the carps was caught in the cyclone. After spinning a few rounds in the air, it shook its head and wagged its tail again.
"Let me tell you a piece of unfortunate news. The illusion we're experiencing now is both real and illusion. In this dreamland, all of you have to be calm. Don't let your imagination run wild, and don't think about anything terrifying. Otherwise, the terrifying things that you imagine might really appear in this dreamland! "
Gongsun Changsheng glanced at everyone and said, "Now, follow my footsteps. Let's go!"
Everyone followed Gongsun Changsheng's footsteps and circled around the light formation in the air.
"Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle …"
Bubbles kept popping up in the void. These things were just black dots in the beginning, but when the bubbles burst, they would transform into all kinds of magical sea creatures.
Purple algae, black gem-like jellyfish, golden crabs, white jade-like lobsters, and aquamarine sharks. These sea creatures occupied a large space above the light formation in a very short time. They were either swimming freely or bumping into Gongsun Changsheng and the others.
The appearance of these sea creatures slowed down their speed in the air. Gongsun Changsheng needed to dodge and warn the others among the sea creatures that were both real and illusory.
A rainbow-colored sea snake bared its fangs at Gongsun Changsheng. Gongsun Changsheng didn't move. He just tilted his body and the sea snake slithered past his face.
"Kill!"
Gongsun Changsheng said. Lu Qi, who was following behind him, immediately flicked his finger. A wisp of immortal energy penetrated the sea snake's head. The sea snake turned into a rainbow-colored light and disappeared without a trace.
Some of the creatures that were both real and illusory could be killed, and some could not be killed. Some could not be killed in Gongsun Changsheng's position, but could be killed in Lu Qi's position.
However, in this kind of situation, it was not Meow Meow's turn to attack. They were all killed by Lu Qi in front of her.
After circling the immortal formation eight and a half times and dodging countless sea creatures, Gongsun Changsheng let out a sigh of relief and said, "Well done, everyone. Now that more than half of the illusory formation is gone, keep it up. Don't let your imagination run wild!"
As soon as Gongsun Changsheng's voice fell, a bubble behind Gu Zheng burst. A three-meter-long golden swordfish came out of it. It straightened its upper jaw and extended a sharp sword forward, stabbing at Gu Zheng's back.
The sword had not arrived, but the momentum had arrived first!
A bone-chilling coldness arose. Gu Zheng even felt that if this swordfish was left alone, his body would definitely be pierced through.
"Ignore it!"
The artifact spirit and Gongsun Changsheng's voices sounded at the same time, but one was calm and the other was anxious.
The artifact spirit knew that Gu Zheng would not panic, but Gongsun Changsheng did not. In his opinion, it would be strange if Gu Zheng did not panic in such a situation! However, if he panicked and did something he should not do, the situation would become very dangerous. After all, they were already eight and a half rounds around the light formation. The closer they were to the limit of nine, the more likely it was that a small mistake could lead to a fatal disaster!
Gu Zheng did not move. Not only did the swordfish pierce through his body, but it also went through his entire body!
Although this wasn't real, and Gu Zheng wouldn't be hurt in the slightest because of it, seeing the huge swordfish drill through his stomach still caused a kind of shock to reverberate in his heart. Everything that he saw with his eyes was too real.
The swordfish did not only go through Gu Zheng's body, but also the bodies of the others in an instant!
"Follow my footwork!"
Gongsun Changsheng shouted. He sped up and chased after the swordfish, finally disappearing from the ninth circle of the immortal formation.
Lu Qi and Meow Meow also disappeared. When Gu Zheng stepped on the ninth circle, he felt as if he had broken through a layer of plastic wrap.
The scene in front of him had changed. Gu Zheng found that they were still standing in front of the stone wall, but the difference was that the Gongsun Changsheng standing in front of the stone wall had become two identical Gongsun Changsheng!
"Lu Qi, what are you hesitating for? Kill him quickly, I can't move from this position! "
"That's right, Lu Qi, don't you know what's real and what's fake? Kill this illusion, and the first layer of the illusory formation will be over! "
The two identical Gongsun Changsheng were anxiously waiting for Lu Qi to make a move with the same voice.
"Shut up!" Lu Qi shouted.
Beads of sweat rolled down Lu Qi's forehead. He was the second person to appear here. When he broke through the layer of plastic wrap, there were already two Gongsun Changsheng in front of him.
Even though Lu Qi was a late-stage Soul Formation cultivator, he couldn't tell which of the two Gongsun Changsheng in front of him was real and which was fake! At a time like this, he would rather not kill the wrong one, or the consequences would be unimaginable!
"Miss Meow Meow, what do you think?" Lu Qi turned to look at Meow Meow.
"There's no need to look!"
Meow Meow said indifferently. She raised her hand and waved a claw. The Gongsun Changsheng on the left was immediately cut into several pieces.
Blood splattered everywhere. Gongsun Changsheng's eyes were wide open as he fell to the ground, turned into specks of red light, and disappeared into the air. As the red light disappeared, the light in front of everyone's eyes became extremely dark, and they could see again in an instant.
They were still in the karst cave, but not where they were before. There was no light formation in the air, and instead of a stone wall, there was a huge pool in front of them. It was so big that they couldn't see the end of it in the dark.
"Miss Meow Meow, it looks like you really do know about immortal formations!"
Gongsun Changsheng looked at Meow Meow, the respect in his eyes growing stronger.
In Gongsun Changsheng's opinion, if Meow Meow didn't know about immortal formations, she wouldn't have attacked without hesitation. The moment Meow Meow raised her hand, he broke out in cold sweat.
"I know a little," Meow Meow said indifferently.
Did Meow Meow know about immortal formations?
Meow Meow did know a little about immortal formations, which had something to do with her diligence and eagerness to learn on Mount Emei. However, when it came to immortal formations, she and Gu Zheng were at the same level.
However, Meow Meow was a monster cultivator, and she had her bloodline talent. Although her bloodline talent wasn't in immortal formations, it was in illusions! This was also the reason why she was able to pull You Shan He into the illusion a few days ago in the small courtyard of the Red Sky Snail Sect, even though he had activated the immortal artifact illusion realm.
Meow Meow had an extremely strong ability to recognize things in illusions, so it wasn't difficult for her to see through the real Gongsun Changsheng.
"Gongsun Changsheng, you should be very familiar with this illusion formation, right? Don't tell me you don't know that there will be two of you! "
Meow Meow's "I know a little" made Lu Qi feel a little embarrassed.
"I used to break the formation alone. Do you think there will be two of me?" Gongsun Changsheng rolled his eyes at Lu Qi.
Lu Qi thought it made sense, but still said with a straight face, "What do we do next?"
Instead of answering Lu Qi immediately, Gongsun Changsheng walked to the side of the pool and waved his hand. A water column appeared in his hand.
He waved the water column around like a stick. As Gongsun Changsheng waved it around, the water droplets detached from the water column strangely froze in the air.
In a moment, the water column in Gongsun Changsheng's hand completely disappeared, and there were thousands of water droplets suspended in the air.
He sprinkled immortal power at the water droplets in the air, and the water droplets immediately lit up, sparkling like the stars in the sky. It was a spectacular sight.
Then, Gongsun Changsheng waved his fingers like the wind, seemingly disorderly, but in fact, there was some kind of hidden pattern. He repeatedly pointed at the water droplets in the air.
Blue waves suddenly appeared on the originally calm pool, and light shone from under the water.
"Splash!"
As Gongsun Changsheng waved his fingers, a huge light formation suddenly rushed out of the water, suspended in the air, and spun continuously. Everything around it was illuminated by its light.
Gongsun Changsheng, who stopped guiding the water droplets, stared at the light formation above the pool for a while, then said.
"Lu Qi, Miss Meow Meow, the two of you, one on the left and one on the right, stand on either side of the pool. Listen to my command and channel your immortal power into the immortal formation!"
As Gongsun Changsheng spoke, he pointed at two positions. Lu Qi and Meow Meow immediately walked over.
"Gongsun Changsheng, tell me, when do you plan to make a move on Meow Meow and Gu Zheng?" Lu Qi transmitted his voice to Gongsun Changsheng.
"I will inform you when the time comes, but now is not the time. The immortal formation has only broken through to the second level," Gongsun Changsheng said.
"Just now, those two fellows were communicating with each other through sound transmission!" The Weapon Spirit said.
"What did they say?" Gu Zheng asked.
The Weapon Spirit could eavesdrop on the contents of other people's sound transmissions, but Gongsun Changsheng and Lu Qi were immortal cultivators, so the Weapon Spirit could not directly hijack their sound transmissions like what it had done to Xie Ying a few days ago.
Unable to hijack the sound transmissions, the Weapon Spirit could only tell Gu Zheng a simple conversation between Gongsun Changsheng and Lu Qi.
In the past, the Weapon Spirit's eavesdropping ability had not been put to good use. During the time he had been on Blood Tide Island, he had already encountered two sound transmissions. And the contents of the sound transmissions were not secret at all, which made Gu Zheng feel very good.
Looking at Lu Qi, who had taken the initiative to send a sound transmission to Gongsun Changsheng, Lu Qi, who had sensed something, gave Gu Zheng a kind smile. This made Gu Zheng laugh coldly in his heart, almost calling him an idiot.
"There's no danger in breaking this Dharma Formation, but it will take a long time. You should be prepared for a long battle. This process should take two days."
Gongsun Changsheng paused and then looked at Gu Zheng. "Sect Leader Gu, there's no danger in this Dharma Formation. I don't want to be distracted when I'm concentrating on breaking the Dharma Formation, especially when it's a long battle like this. So I suggest that you go to the other end of the pool now, okay? "
Because of Meow Meow, Gongsun Changsheng's attitude toward Gu Zheng was much more polite.
"No problem. Then you go ahead with your work. I'll go over there and play for a while."
Gu Zheng shrugged and smiled. He nodded at Meow Meow and walked along the edge of the pool into the distance.
"Sect Leader Gu, you can walk around and play, but don't cause any damage. Also, don't touch the things inside. Even if it's just a trap formation, it's still an immortal formation. If you touch something you shouldn't touch, it's hard to say what will happen! "Gongsun Changsheng said as he looked at Gu Zheng's back.
Gu Zheng didn't say anything. He just waved his hand without looking back, indicating that he understood.
"Weapon Spirit, when we were investigating the immortal formation earlier, you said that because you weren't in the formation, you didn't see it very clearly. Now that we're at the second level of the immortal formation, what do you think we should do next?"
Gu Zheng asked the Weapon Spirit when they arrived at a place not too far away from Gongsun Changsheng and the others.
"The second level of the immortal formation is indeed a trap formation. The best way to break it is for Gongsun Changsheng and the other two to work together. But this isn't the right place to fall out. Everything will have to wait until we reach the third level of the immortal formation or break the third level of the immortal formation. Anyway, I can sense their voice transmissions. If they do anything bad, I'll let you know in advance. "
The Weapon Spirit paused for a moment and then said, "In addition, the Heaven and Earth Energy that destroyed the Evil Qi in the air at the beginning came from this pool. There must be an immortal formation inside. However, the immortal formation below is not important to our goal. You'd better not be curious. Otherwise, if you touch something inside, the trap formation might turn into a killing formation. "
"Don't worry! I'm not a curious baby. I'm not as curious as you think I am about some things. "
Looking inside himself, Zhonggu Zheng rolled his eyes at the artifact spirit, while the artifact spirit stuck out its tongue at him.
