Shifang Gorge
A month ago, Wu Jing Xue led an army to attack the Iron Peak Kingdom. The kingdom was destroyed and its citizens were mercilessly massacred. Even the king of the Iron Peak Kingdom was escorted back to the dynasty by Wu Jing Xue, where he died tragically in the imperial palace.
The current Iron Peak Kingdom had become a wasteland with very few people living here.
At this moment, a black shadow flashed past. Like a cheetah in the jungle, the figure was agile and stood on the trunk of an ancient tree. A pair of pitch-black deep eyes were slightly lowered as he looked ahead.
"The Shifang Gorge is up ahead!"
A joyful voice slowly came out of the black figure's mouth. He took a step forward and instantly turned into a violent storm, disappearing without a trace.
This black figure was naturally Chu Xingyun.
After leaving the imperial city, he finally arrived at the Iron Peak Kingdom after three days of travel.
Originally, the Iron Peak Kingdom was not far from the Liuyun Dynasty. If he rode a Ferghana horse, he would only need two days to arrive.
Unfortunately, the Liuyun Dynasty could be said to be in turmoil. Wu Jing Xue commanded millions of soldiers to leave the four borders and encircle the imperial city.
During this process, everyone in the 64 cities of Drifting Cloud was trembling with fear. Many riots and disputes broke out everywhere. Chu Xingyun could be considered extremely fast to arrive at the Iron Peak Kingdom on the third day.
"Three days have passed. Looks like I have to hurry up. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it back to the imperial city in time," Chu Xingyun thought to himself. He lifted his gaze and looked at the remote gorge in front of him.
This gorge was located at the intersection of mountain ranges. It was extremely remote and was faintly discernible in the heavy clouds. If one did not observe carefully, it would be easy to overlook it.
This gorge was called the Shifang Gorge, where the entrance to the Heavenly Crafts Secret Territory was located.
"According to the map of the Heavenly Crafts Seal, the entrance to the Heavenly Crafts Secret Territory is located on a high slope in the middle of the Shifang Gorge. There is a level 6 illusory formation at the entrance."
"Only by breaking this level six illusion array can I use the Heavenly Works Mysterious Seal to truly enter the Heavenly Works Secret Realm."
Chu Xingyun carefully looked at the map in his hand and was immediately overjoyed.
To him, breaking through a Level 6 Illusory Formation was not difficult at all. It could even be said to be extremely simple.
An illusion array was a type of trapping array.
There were many Formation Eyes inside the Spirit Array. Once someone stepped into the Spirit Array, these Formation Eyes would resonate with each other and give birth to some Heaven and Earth Anomalies. This would cause the person to fall into a predicament, unable to move an inch.
This kind of spiritual array had no destructive power, and its purpose was to make people retreat.
Chu Xingyun had lived for thousands of years and understood the mysteries of Heaven and Earth. Not to mention a Level 6 Illusory Array, he could even break a Level 9 Illusory Array easily. That was why he was so pleasantly surprised at this moment. It could save him a lot of time.
His figure shuttled through the forest, emitting a faint rustling sound.
Chu Xingyun increased his speed to the maximum. Not long after, he saw the high slope. Furthermore, he could feel the faint aura of a Spiritual Array in the air.
"Hmm?"
However, just as Chu Xingyun was about to climb up the high slope, his eyes narrowed slightly. He discovered that on the flat ground in front of him, there were five fierce figures stationed there.
"The Iron Peak Nation has been destroyed, and this is a remote place. Normally speaking, there shouldn't be any martial artists here." Chu Xingyun felt a little strange. He concealed his aura and carefully moved over.
These five figures were all young men. They wore crescent-shaped robes, and the sleeves of the robes were embroidered with a skyrocketing sword pattern. Furthermore, each of them had a longsword at their waists, which faintly emitted a sharp Sword Qi.
"Disciples of the Wanjian Pavilion!" Chu Xingyun's heart skipped a beat as he immediately recognized the five people.
The Wanjian Pavilion was one of the six major forces in the Northern Wilderness Region. Its territory was vast, and it was in charge of 18 dynasties and close to 100 kingdoms. The Iron Peak Nation was close to the Liuyun Dynasty, so it was naturally under the control of the Wanjian Pavilion.
However, just as Chu Xingyun had said, the Iron Peak Nation had been destroyed, and this place was so remote that there were not many people around. The sudden appearance of five disciples of the Wanjian Pavilion was indeed strange.
"Could it be that the Wanjian Pavilion knows about the Heaven's Craft Secret Realm?" Chu Xingyun suddenly thought of this, and his heart began to beat faster. He stared ahead and listened carefully.
"Senior Brother Chang is indeed a true disciple. His means are indeed remarkable. In just one day, he was able to break the Formation Eye of this Level 6 Illusory Array. It seems that he will be able to break it completely in less than three days."
The one who spoke was a skinny young man. He looked up at the person beside him with a fawning expression.
The Senior Brother Chang he spoke of was about 21 or 22 years old. He was tall and straight, and his facial features were firm and regular. He was rather handsome, but there was a trace of arrogance between his brows. He didn't even look at the skinny young man.
"It's only a Level 6 Illusory Array. With my strength, I will definitely be able to break it in two days. There's no need to wait until the third day." The arrogant young man's face was full of pride as he said seriously, "Since the first Formation Eye has been broken, let's enter the array immediately. Don't waste time."
As he spoke, the arrogant young man exuded an aura of extreme Yang. The aura transformed into a sword and broke through the layers of clouds in front of them, leading a wide path.
This extremely Yang aura was none other than Yang Energy.
Judging from the Yang Gang Qi, the arrogant young man's cultivation should have just entered the Sky Spirit Realm.
To have such a level of cultivation at such a young age, one could see how strong this person's potential was.
Looking at the departing figures of the five, Chu Xingyun's expression became heavy as he muttered to himself, "The true disciples of the Wanjian Pavilion are all quite talented. Although this person is only at the first level of the Sky Spirit Realm, his battle strength should be comparable to Mo Zuo at the second level of the Sky Spirit Realm."
"Apart from this person, the other four don't have a high level of cultivation. The strongest is only at the fourth level of the Earth Spirit Realm."
Chu Xingyun secretly estimated the other's battle strength. He naturally didn't think much of the four of them and could easily suppress them. However, the arrogant young man was difficult for him to deal with at this moment.
The difference in cultivation between the two was too great. Unless Chu Xingyun could break through his cultivation and completely control the power of heaven and earth within the Blue Sky Cauldron, he could only retreat.
"I'm pressed for time right now and cannot be entangled by the Wanjian Pavilion. However, if I ignore this matter, it will likely attract trouble." Chu Xingyun narrowed his eyes slightly as he continued to ponder deeply in his heart.
He still didn't know just how many Wanjian Pavilion disciples were in the Shifang Gorge at this moment. If he rashly ascended the high slope, it was very likely that he would attract attention.
More importantly, Chu Xingyun didn't know what the Wanjian Pavilion's goal in appearing in the Shifang Gorge was.
If they really were here for the Heavenly Crafts Secret Area, then this trip would be troublesome!
