Chapter 403 Emperor Shitian Character Card, Mid-Grade Dao Martial Arts

Faced with this situation where no matter how she moved, it was as if she was standing still, Qu Feiyan began to panic.

Beads of cold sweat began to trickle down his cheeks involuntarily.

Although Qu Feiyan couldn't sense the situation outside, Xiao Zhao and Lin Shiyin in the inner courtyard, as well as Wanwan and Shuimu Yinji in the outer courtyard, had all noticed that something was wrong with Qu Feiyan.

In their sight, Qu Feiyan was like a headless fly, wandering aimlessly around the archway leading from the inner courtyard to the outer courtyard.

He occasionally uttered a few murmurs.

Fortunately, this process did not last long.

As Chu Qinghe lightly raised his fingertip, a burst of energy sliced ​​open a pebble on the archway. After the remaining true essence and spiritual energy dissipated, Qu Feiyan's perspective shifted rapidly from side to side as the scenery before her quickly swayed, revealing the puzzled Jellyfish Yin Ji and Wanwan approaching.

Turning their heads again, Chu Qinghe was still sitting under the camellia tree, while Xiao Zhao and Lin Shiyin in the inner courtyard were looking at them with puzzled expressions.

Seeing this, after a few moments of contemplation, Qu Feiyan suddenly raised her hand and pinched Wanwan's face with two fingers.

After applying a little force, the pain immediately made Wanwan slap Qu Feiyan's hand away and say, "What are you doing?"

Feeling the sensation of Wanwan's hand being squeezed and the feeling of her hand being slapped, Qu Feiyan breathed a sigh of relief.

After regaining her senses, Qu Feiyan immediately turned her head to look at Chu Qinghe.

"Young master, what's going on?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe said calmly, "A very simple maze."

"maze?"

Hearing what Chu Qinghe said, Qu Feiyan and the others were slightly taken aback.

After looking around, Wanwan asked in confusion, "Shouldn't a maze be set up in a specific environment? There's nothing around this archway, so how can a maze be set up?"

Wanwan comes from the Yin Kui Sect, so she naturally has some understanding of things like formations.

For example, the Yin Kui Sect has some special formations for fighting enemies, and the disciples' strength can be improved through cooperation between them.

Outside the Yin Kui Sect's gate lies a dense forest, specially planted by an elder of the Yin Kui Sect who was proficient in formations a hundred years ago.

If one does not know how to enter or exit, even a Grandmaster-level martial artist would find it difficult to pass through the maze and enter the Yin Kui Sect's territory unless they choose to set the mountain on fire or use external force to destroy the trees along the way.

Chu Qinghe said, "Relying on the terrain to set up formations is indeed a method, but if the skill level is high enough, even some small things that can be found everywhere can be used to quickly set up some formations."

"Even if they are prepared, martial artists at the Celestial Realm or above can still fall victim to this."

Upon hearing the sound, Jellyfish Yin Ji keenly noticed the pebbles on the ground that shouldn't have been there in the archway.

One of the pieces was evenly cut into two halves.

After picking up the cut pebble from the ground and examining it, confirming that it was just an ordinary pebble scattered in the cracks of the floor in the courtyard, Jellyfish Yin Ji asked, "Is this the kind of formation you set up?"

In response to the question posed by the Water Mother Yin Ji, Chu Qinghe nodded slightly and said, "That's right!"

Wanwan, standing to the side, asked doubtfully, "If you say that formations are useful for martial artists at the Grandmaster level, I can understand, but once a martial artist reaches the Celestial Realm and has mastered spiritual energy, will formations still be useful?"

Chu Qinghe said calmly, "Ordinary formations are useless, but what if the formation also incorporates the power of heaven and earth and spiritual energy?"

Wanwan asked in astonishment, "These things can be integrated into an array?"

Chu Qinghe explained, "If someone is new to array formations, their understanding of array formations is still one-sided. Even if they use them, it is only by combining Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, Qimen Dunjia, and the Eight Trigrams with the surrounding terrain and environment, such as the dense forest and mountain range you mentioned, which creates an array formation similar to a maze."

"It causes those who step into the formation to lose their way and become deeply trapped."

"But those who are proficient in formations will use formation stones as the core when setting up the formation."

Wanwan asked in astonishment, "Array stones? What are these?"

Chu Qinghe said, "The so-called array stone is just a general term. It refers to the core items used when setting up an array, also known as the array base or array eye."

"If this array stone is unique and contains spiritual energy or the power of heaven and earth, then combining it with the corresponding array can allow the power of heaven and earth and spiritual energy contained within the array stone to spread and permeate the array."

"Just now, I simply infused my true essence and spiritual energy into these pebbles. Once these true essence and spiritual energy connect with each other, they will create a special area."

"Once you step into this area, you will be unconsciously affected by the spiritual energy that fills it. Combined with the changes in the positions of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, it can cause Fei Yan's five senses to become disordered. Even though she has been shuttling between the courtyard and the inner courtyard, she is completely unaware of it."

"This is just the simplest maze. If we prepare properly and use some special items, we can integrate the power of heaven and earth, my own techniques and true essence, and spiritual energy into it to create some special formations. Even if a martial artist at the Divine Seat Realm or even the Illumination Realm enters the formation I set up, not only will they get lost inside, but if they trigger the killing formation inside, they will die without a chance of survival."

Hearing Chu Qinghe's words, the group couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.
