The Sky Expanse Sect's measures were undoubtedly to protect Lu Ye. After all, Lu Ye had given Bai Qian some Soul Cleansing Water back then. For Bai Qian and Yu Xiao, who were stuck at the Ninth Order True Lake Realm, Soul Cleansing Water was the treasure they coveted the most. With the help of Soul Cleansing Water, they had hopes of breaking through their shackles and reaching the Spirit Sea Realm.
However, from what had happened afterwards, it seemed that Lu Ye had stirred up quite a bit of trouble in the Spirit Stream Battlefield and had been targeted by the Myriad Devil Ridge. Even now, the cultivators of the Myriad Devil Ridge still wanted to kill him.
Many of the Hundred Formation Pagoda's array cultivators had stayed here for a long time and were familiar with each other. The cultivator surnamed Luo who had spoken earlier was one of the best.
Passing the 50th level of the Hundred Formation Pagoda was something to be proud of in the entire Cloudy River Battlefield.
Amidst the crowd of formation cultivators, cultivator Luo smiled bitterly and shook his head. "My master once said that my talent is neither good nor bad. In this lifetime of formation dao, I am not a Grandmaster, but I have no hopes of becoming a Grandmaster."
There was no way he could become a master, but there was no hope for him to become a grandmaster. This was the evaluation his master had given him. To put it simply, it was not a problem for him to become an array master, but it was basically impossible for him to become a grandmaster.
In the past, Cultivator Luo wasn't too convinced by this evaluation. However, as he spent more time at the Hundred Formation Pagoda, he had no choice but to accept reality.
Ever since he passed the 50th floor of the Hundred Formation Pagoda, he had already attempted to pass the 51st floor three times. However, he had failed all three times. Perhaps if he cultivated bitterly for a few more days, he might be able to pass the 51st floor, but what about after that? The Hundred Formation Pagoda had 66 levels. The further one went, the more difficult the test would be.
Even if he spent his entire life here, he might not be able to pass all 66 levels of the Hundred Formation Pagoda.
However, even if he was a formation cultivator, how could he be willing to be stuck at the Cloud River Tier forever? Now that he was already at the Ninth Order Cloud River Realm, he was qualified to break through to the True Lake Realm, but he had not chosen to do so because he was obsessed with advancing further in the Hundred Formation Tower.
However, what he saw and heard today was like the evening drum and morning bell that woke him up.
In this world, everyone's aptitude was different. Others could easily resonate with the Hundred Formation Pagoda when they entered, but he never had the capital to do so.
In the end, as a cultivator, cultivation was still the most important thing.
In his heart, he decided to try one last time. This time, regardless of whether he succeeded or failed, he would choose to advance to the True Lake Stage and leave the Cloudy River Battlefield.
"Fellow Daoist Luo, there's no need to belittle yourself. You …" Before the formation cultivator could finish speaking, he suddenly stopped.
At the same time, the surrounding noises quieted down. All the array cultivators looked at the Hundred Formation Pagoda in shock.
That strange rhythm … had appeared again!
The third resonance of the Hundred Formation Pagoda!
"What's the situation?" Some array cultivators even suspected that they were dreaming. In the past, the resonance would only appear once every three to five months. It was already shocking enough that it appeared twice today, but there was actually a third time?
Which powerhouse had triggered this resonance?
Why are there so many genius array cultivators challenging the Hundred Formation Pagoda today?
All sorts of emotions surged, but it did not stop the array cultivators from making the most appropriate response. It was rare for the Hundred Formation Pagoda to resonate, and that peculiar rhythm was very beneficial to array cultivators' enlightenment. Therefore, all the array cultivators hurriedly sat up straight and concentrated, silently comprehending.
On the 35th level of the Hundred Formation Pagoda, Lu Ye once again used his spirit cleansing skills to alleviate the impact and pain on his soul. He began to construct a small spirit gathering funnel, and as he cultivated, he comprehended his gains and prepared for the next level's test.
In the blink of an eye, another six hours had passed. The test on the 36th level had begun.
The array cultivators outside the Hundred Formation Pagoda gradually went crazy.
This was because something incomprehensible had happened in the past two days.
After the first resonance of the Hundred Formation Pagoda, the second resonance followed after half an hour. Six hours later, the third resonance followed. Another six hours passed. Another six hours passed. Another six hours passed. Another six hours passed …
After that, the Hundred Formation Pagoda would resonate once every six hours.
Was the Hundred Formation Pagoda broken?
Almost all the array cultivators could not help but have this thought. Otherwise, how could there be so many consecutive resonations?
However, after some array cultivators boldly entered the Hundred Formation Pagoda to test it out, they confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the pagoda.
In other words, the Hundred Formation Pagoda was not broken.
These resonations were really caused by an array cultivator challenging the pagoda.
At first, the array cultivators thought that the resonations were caused by different array cultivators. However, as time passed and the number of resonations increased, everyone realized that this was not the case.
This was because the time between each resonance was almost six hours.
This time was almost the same as the time limit for every level of the Hundred Formation Pagoda. This was thought-provoking.
The array cultivators couldn't help but think of an unimaginable possibility. There was an unimaginably talented array cultivator challenging the pagoda and obtaining excellent results on every level. That was why the Hundred Formation Pagoda resonated with him every time.
But … was this really possible?
This was simply unimaginable.
But other than this explanation, there seemed to be no other better explanation.
What could be confirmed now was that the array cultivator who triggered the first and second resonance was not the same person. Because the time interval was too short.
What the array cultivators could not figure out was whether the subsequent resonations were triggered by the first person or the second person …
The news continued to spread. Thirty miles away, Hundred Formation City was also in an uproar as a large number of array cultivators rushed over.
Usually, many array cultivators lived in the Hundred Formation City. Only a small portion of the array cultivators lingered outside the Hundred Formation Pagoda. However, as the news spread, more than a thousand array cultivators gathered outside the Hundred Formation Pagoda in less than half a day. Moreover, even more array cultivators were on their way.
No one wanted to miss such a grand event. No one wanted to miss such an opportunity.
Although they were not the ones challenging the pagoda and resonating with the pagoda, they still benefited greatly from the enlightenment.
Soon, the area outside the Hundred Formation Pagoda was packed with people. As far as the eye could see, a sea of black heads had found a place to sit down cross-legged.
"Fellow Daoist Luo, this is the tenth time, right?" A familiar cultivator near the array cultivator surnamed Luo asked.
The array cultivator surnamed Luo nodded. "Yes, it's the tenth time."
On average, there was a resonance every six hours. Now, almost sixty hours had passed. The previous resonance was indeed the tenth time.
From the initial confusion to shock, to the current numbness, this was the true portrayal of his heart. It was also the true portrayal of all the array cultivators gathered here.
Even these Cloud River Tier cultivators, who were all at the Cloud River Tier, were shocked to the core by the repeated occurrences of events that were rarely seen on a daily basis. In fact, these occurrences even occurred in a regular pattern.
"I keep feeling that this is not man-made, but rather a reaction of the Hundred Formation Pagoda itself," another person said.
Even though they had already verified that there was no problem with the Hundred Formation Pagoda, many still felt that the resonations were not man-made. Perhaps some unknown change had occurred in the Hundred Formation Pagoda.
Of course, this change was something the array cultivators were happy to see. If the Hundred Formation Pagoda could maintain such a resonance from now on, the array dao of the entire Nine Provinces would definitely rise to a new level.
After being enlightened again and again, even the stupidest of array cultivators would have gained quite a bit of knowledge.
Gazing in the direction of the Hundred Formation Pagoda, the array cultivator surnamed Luo did not speak.
No one knew whether the resonations were man-made or a reaction of the Hundred Formation Pagoda itself. If it was the latter, then so be it, but if it was the former … then the person challenging the pagoda must be a rare genius. The level of array dao he could reach would be unreachable by all the array cultivators in the Nine Provinces.
He couldn't help but think of something.
When he had returned to the sect last time, his master had told him that someone had once challenged the thirty-third level of the Hundred Formation Pagoda in one go, triggering thirty-three resonations …
And that person was the famous Lu Yiye of the Jade Blood Sect.
To be honest, if his Master hadn't told him these things, he wouldn't have believed it no matter what.
Challenging thirty-three levels in one go and triggering thirty-three resonations … was this something a human could do?
His master had not told him this to discourage him, but to warn him that there was always someone better than him in the field of array dao. He did not want him to be too stubborn.
He had not thought too much about it before, but now that he thought about it, his heart suddenly thumped.
Could it be that the person challenging the pagoda was Lu Yiye? Since he could trigger thirty-three resonations in the Hundred Formation Pagoda, his performance in the Hundred Formation Pagoda on the Cloudy River battlefield would not be too bad.
Array cultivators were entering and exiting the Hundred Formation Pagoda frequently, so he had not noticed whether it was Lu Yiye who had entered the pagoda.
But even if it was really him, his performance was too exaggerated.
The difficulty of the Hundred Formation Pagoda on the Cloudy River battlefield was incomparable to that of the Hundred Formation Pagoda on the Cloudy River battlefield.
Just as his thoughts were churning in his mind, a strange rhythm appeared once again.
Someone in the crowd exclaimed, "It's the eleventh time!"
This number had already excluded the first resonance and counted from the second resonance. Because the array cultivators could confirm that the person who had triggered the first and second resonance was not the same person, but the person who had triggered the subsequent resonance was definitely one of the two.
Eleven resonations in a row was such a terrifying result. Since ancient times, no array cultivator had ever achieved it. Even if someone had managed to trigger consecutive resonations, it was at most two or three times.
Eleven resonations not only broke the previous record, but also stood at a height that a junior array cultivator could not hope to achieve.
Lu Yiye's talent in array dao was not bad, but he was far from the level of an eternal genius that cultivator surnamed Luo had imagined.
The reason he was invincible in the Hundred Formation Pagoda was because of the Soul Cleansing Water.
This soul treasure that could make Divine Sea cultivators jealous was now being used by him to calm the impact on his soul, alleviating the pain and pressure.
