When Lu Ye arrived in front of the Hundred Formation Pagoda, the Law Cultivator surnamed Yu, who he had injured earlier, was trapped in layers of Spirit Arrays.
There was a huge wound on his chest and abdomen that was bleeding profusely.
Such an injury was very serious for a Sixth-Order Law Cultivator like him, but it wasn't to the point of despair.
Even if he was just a Law Cultivator, his physique was much stronger than ordinary mortals, even if it wasn't as strong as Armament Cultivators or Body Cultivators.
As long as he recuperated well, he would recover.
What made him despair was his current situation.
Previously, Lu Ye had opened up a safe passage for him, causing him to fall into the Array. Fearing that Lu Ye would chase after him, he had fled as fast as he could as soon as he landed. As a result, he had completely lost his way.
Even though he was sure that he wasn't far from the safe passage, he couldn't tell where it was.
Since ancient times, countless Array Cultivators had left various Spirit Arrays here. With the mysterious cover of the Hundred Formation Pagoda, the Spirit Arrays in this area seemed to have undergone some strange changes.
If one didn't have high enough attainments, they wouldn't be able to leave this place alive.
There was a skeleton beside him that had been dead for an unknown period of time. The bones had become loose and would shatter upon contact. Looking at this skeleton, the Law Cultivator surnamed Yu seemed to see his future.
Moreover, there was a great danger surrounding him. Even though he couldn't tell what it was, he knew that he had fallen into an extremely dangerous Spirit Array.
Annoyance, regret, and all kinds of emotions surged in his heart. He couldn't understand how a Fifth-Order Armament Cultivator could burst out with such power under the joint attack of him and a Seventh-Order Armament Cultivator. His companion was killed on the spot and he himself was forced into such a desperate situation.
But no matter what, the most important thing right now was to heal his injuries. It wouldn't be too late to break the Spirit Array here after his injuries had stabilized. Who knows, he might still have a chance of survival.
But before that, he had to spread the news that Lu Yiye had appeared in the Hundred Formation Pagoda. How could he accept such a huge loss?
If he couldn't live well, then Lu Yiye wouldn't have it easy either!
Raising his hand, he tapped on the Battlefield Mark and a message was sent out.
Outside the Hundred Formation Pagoda, Lu Ye looked up and counted. He found that the Hundred Formation Pagoda here was the same as the one in Heaven Expanse Sect, with thirty-three floors.
This meant that the last part of the Hundred Formation Pagoda had thirty-four floors, which was the top. But so far, no one knew where this part of the Hundred Formation Pagoda was..
There was an entrance at the bottom of the Hundred Formation Pagoda. When Lu Ye looked over, he saw an array cultivator walking in excitedly before disappearing.
Another array cultivator suddenly appeared in front of the entrance. His face was extremely pale, as if he had been severely injured. His body was somewhat unstable. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
A cultivator who knew this person cried out in alarm and hurriedly went forward to help this person to the side and feed him a healing spirit pill.
Challenging the Hundred Formation Pagoda was extremely dangerous.
.........................
Every level of the pagoda had a different test, but overall, the test was divided into three types: breaking the formation, setting up the formation, and repairing the formation.
Breaking the array meant breaking the array inside the Hundred Formation Pagoda.
. Setting up a formation was a requirement given by the Hundred Formation Pagoda and one had to set up a formation that matched the requirement.
As for fixing a formation, it was an extension of setting up a formation. An incomplete or flawed formation would appear in the Hundred Formation Pagoda for the challenger to fix it.
Don't think that fixing a formation was easy. There was a saying among formation cultivators – it was better to set up ten formations than fix one!
That was because setting up a formation was something one had to do personally right from the start. Everything would be done according to one's train of thought.
However, repairing a formation was different. Only God knew how many hidden loopholes and flaws there were in a semi-finished formation. To repair these loopholes and flaws required a lot more time and energy than setting up a formation. While not destroying the foundation of the original formation, one also had to cater to the various ideas of the original formation. In this way, the difficulty was much higher than simply setting up a formation.
If the test of the Hundred Formation Pagoda was setting up a formation, there was basically no danger. That was because even if one failed to set up a formation, they would only be sent out by the Hundred Formation Pagoda.
However, it was dangerous to break or fix a formation.
If something went wrong, the formation would be activated. Even if one didn't die, they would be injured!
Every year, a large number of formation cultivators came to challenge the Hundred Formation Pagoda. Many formation cultivators who were confident in their abilities died inside.
That was only the danger of the test. Even if one passed the test, there was still a certain amount of danger. That was because after passing the test, the Hundred Formation Pagoda would bestow a reward. It was a kind of reward that allowed the cultivator to receive a large amount of information regarding formation dao in a short period of time.
The effect was similar to Lu Ye checking the information on the Talent Tree's leaf. However, it was even more violent.
When a large amount of information entered one's mind, one's soul would feel like it was being torn apart. The better one performed in the Hundred Formation Pagoda, the more rewards one would receive. The pain of being torn apart would be even more intense.
Lu Ye had relied on soul water to survive last time.
Therefore, ever since he entered the Cloudriver Battlefield, he had been keeping an eye out for treasures that could restore his soul. Unfortunately, he hadn't gained anything until he accidentally entered the Immortal Essence City and obtained a large amount of soul water. Only then did he enter the Hundred Formation Pagoda.
Of course, the benefits an ordinary formation cultivator would receive in the Hundred Formation Pagoda were not that exaggerated. Lu Ye's performance last time was too outstanding and the benefits he received were too great. This caused him to bear an unprecedented amount of pressure.
Under normal circumstances, cultivators who challenged the pagoda would be able to safely endure the benefits they received after passing the test and increase their attainments in formation dao.
This formation cultivator who had suddenly fainted did not have any external injuries. Instead, his face was pale. This meant that he had exhausted too much of his mental strength.
This person had undoubtedly gained a lot in the Hundred Formation Pagoda. The benefits he received had already exceeded his limits, causing him to suddenly spit out blood and faint.
However, after waking up, this person's attainments in formation dao would definitely improve significantly. This was a good thing.
All sorts of thoughts flashed through Lu Ye's mind. Just as he was about to step into the Hundred Formation Pagoda, he suddenly felt a strange rhythm. This formless rhythm was like a formless wind that radiated in all directions. In the blink of an eye, it had spread over dozens of miles.
Outside the Hundred Formation Pagoda, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the pagoda in surprise.
Someone exclaimed, "It's resonating, it's resonating!"
It was as if some treasure had fallen from the sky.
Although no treasure had fallen from the sky, the resonance of the Hundred Formation Pagoda was a blessing from the heavens to all the formation cultivators who lingered here.
Because of this rhythm, formation cultivators would be able to comprehend the mysteries of formation dao more easily. Perhaps there were many things that they did not understand in the past that they could suddenly be enlightened at this moment and increase their attainments in formation dao.
It was not easy to trigger the resonance of the Hundred Formation Pagoda. One had to achieve good results in the pagoda's tests.
Lu Ye had triggered the resonance of the Hundred Formation Pagoda time and time again in the Sky Expanse Sect, allowing the formation cultivators of the Sky Expanse Sect to benefit greatly.
It could be said that after Lu Ye challenged the Hundred Formation Pagoda, the formation dao attainments of the Sky Expanse Sect's disciples had generally increased by a level. One could foresee that in the next ten to twenty years, the Sky Expanse Sect's foundation would definitely strengthen by a lot.
It was precisely because of the resonance of the Hundred Formation Pagoda that many formation cultivators would be stationed here all year round. Firstly, they were preparing for their next challenge. Secondly, they were waiting for the resonance that could appear at any time and reap the benefits from it.
However, the resonance of the Hundred Formation Pagoda was not so easily triggered. Many formation cultivators entered and exited the Hundred Formation Pagoda every day. However, the resonance would only appear once every three to five months. To all the formation cultivators gathered here, the resonance of the Hundred Formation Pagoda was an extremely rare experience that could only be encountered by chance.
Therefore, when they sensed the strange rhythm of the Hundred Formation Pagoda, all the formation cultivators closed their eyes and silently comprehended the mysteries within.
Even Lu Ye was rooted to the spot. At this moment, he clearly felt that his thoughts had become much clearer, and all sorts of knowledge about the Dao of Arrays surged through his mind. Many things that he had previously thought he had thoroughly grasped, but now that he thought about it again, he was able to gain new insights.
The rhythm continued and all the formation cultivators were immersed in it, unable to extricate themselves.
After a full incense stick's worth of time, the strange rhythm gradually disappeared. The formation cultivators who were immersed in it came back to their senses and carefully savored their gains.
Loud laughter could be heard. Clearly, they had gained a lot. The formation cultivators beside them all revealed envious expressions.
Although Lu Ye also gained something, it wasn't much. His current attainments in the Array Dao were similar to the power of his spirit, far surpassing cultivators of the same level. This kind of rhythm wasn't of much use to him.
If he wanted to raise his attainments in formation dao, he still needed to personally challenge the pagoda and obtain good results.
At the bottom of the Hundred Formation Pagoda in the Sky Expanse Sect, there was a stone tablet. According to the Sky Expanse Sect's Grand Elder Bai Qian, the stone tablet was probably used to leave a name for those who challenged the pagoda. Those who performed outstandingly would be recorded by the stone tablet for future generations to revere.
However, because the Hundred Formation Pagoda was divided into three parts and the Sky Expanse Sect was only one of the three parts, the stone tablet was not of any use.
The second part of the Cloudy River Battlefield was located in the middle of the Hundred Formation Pagoda. Naturally, there was no stone tablet. At the bottom, there was only a simple entrance. The entrance was pitch-black and seemed to be connected to an unknown space.
Lu Ye took a few steps forward and arrived at the entrance. Without hesitation, he walked in.
His vision blurred and he felt as if he had used the Tian Ji Pillar to teleport. When Lu Ye came back to his senses, he had already appeared in a small space.
He looked around and realized that the situation was no different from what he had encountered when he challenged the pagoda previously.
This small space was not big. It was only the size of a room. It was completely white all around and there was nothing.
On the wall beside him, there was a protruding stone brick.
Based on his previous experience and memory, Lu Ye stepped forward and pressed his hand on the stone brick. With a slight force, the stone brick immediately sank into the wall.
