Chen Zhou liked this method very much: breaking down a large goal into several smaller goals to achieve it. This made him more efficient and also made something that seemed difficult very simple.

This is what it means to simplify complexity.

After setting this goal, Chen Zhou immediately began to work towards it. The goal of climbing to the knees was not a particularly distant one for Chen Zhou at the moment, so he was fully capable of achieving it. Moreover, Chen Zhou planned to climb to the knees before the other person took the next step.

Because the black clothes at the knees had many wrinkles, these wrinkles were now a treasure to Chen Zhou, as the friction was greatest at those wrinkles. So, once Chen Zhou reached those wrinkles, he wouldn't easily fall off the next time the person stood up and lifted their foot.

Chen Zhou stared intently at the crease at the man's knee, using all his strength to get closer to it. Only now did Chen Zhou realize that although the crease looked close, it was actually quite far away. It would take Chen Zhou another ten minutes or so to climb to the crease. The man in black was taller than he had expected.

Chen Zhou didn't know Wo Wan's current situation; it was very likely that she had already been captured. Chen Zhou also had no way of knowing the strength of these people. He only knew that he and Wo Wan were powerless to resist at the moment, and only by breaking this formation could they truly escape from here.

Moreover, Chen Zhou's current plan is just a gamble; he's betting on whether these people are actually the ones supporting the operation of this formation.

If these people are not the ones in question, even if we deal with them, the formation will not collapse. Only when Chen Zhou eliminates the people controlling the formation can Chen Zhou and Wo Wan truly break free from it.

"No, I'm still too slow!" Chen Zhou said heavily, immediately gathering all his strength and focusing all his energy on climbing onto the black-clad man's clothes.

"I'm sure I can climb up!"

Chen Zhou kept giving himself positive suggestions. At the same time, Chen Zhou felt that his body did not feel any discomfort. On the contrary, Chen Zhou only felt that his body strength was getting greater and greater, and his speed was getting faster and faster. Chen Zhou used the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon.

However, the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon that Chen Zhou is currently using cannot turn his entire body into a crimson gold color. Chen Zhou can only enhance his physical strength, but he cannot achieve the same effect as before. This formation can restrict far too many things. Despite Chen Zhou's numerous methods, he cannot gain any advantage against this formation.

"To use a formation of this level against the Three Sects of Wolong... that's quite a feat..." Chen Zhou said coldly.

Chen Zhou is now truly wary of this formation; the shock it brings him is growing ever greater. It can be said that anyone who enters the core of this formation will be trapped within it. Chen Zhou doesn't know if entering this formation will have any effect on someone at the Golden Core stage, but the fact that it can trap the Primordial Truth within his body, the True Dragon's aura, and the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon is already enough to astonish him.

Chen Zhou now only has one bargaining chip left, which is the Chisongzi Guiding Technique. Now, as Chen Zhou climbs up the black-clothed figure, he is also secretly using his aura.

"Finally made it to the top..." Chen Zhou murmured softly. He was now at the man's knees, gripping the folds of skin tightly.

Only when he grasped the folds in the clothes did Chen Zhou feel truly secure. Just as Chen Zhou reached the folds in the man's clothes, the man stood up, preparing to lift his other leg and take a step forward. The area had been searched.

As the man stood up, Chen Zhou took the opportunity to glance around. What he saw was startling. He saw more than a dozen people searching everywhere, all bent over, within the range of the formation.

It can be said that people were deployed to search every area.

This made Chen Zhou's scalp tingle.

With so many people, how can I know who is controlling this formation?

Just then, Chen Zhou suddenly looked up and saw that there were four people sitting quietly in the center of the formation beside this person. Strands of true energy were constantly emerging from their bodies and finally flowing into the formation to maintain its operation.

"It's those four people..." Chen Zhou looked at the four people sitting quietly, his mind racing.

These four people were not sitting cross-legged on the ground, but were floating in the air. Chen Zhou could not possibly get close to them in his current form. Moreover, their true energy was extremely surging. Even if Chen Zhou managed to jump up, he would not be able to get close to them. Chen Zhou could not withstand their true energy at all.

Although Chen Zhou could not use his true energy, he could clearly feel the surging true energy emanating from the four people. At this moment, their true energy gathered together and was finally poured into the formation.

Having completed these tasks, these people did not stop. After a short rest, they continued to channel strands of true energy into the great formation.

It is precisely because of the wondrous power of this great formation that it consumes even more true energy. The strength of these four people is roughly at the Heartbeat Stage, and this formation requires the true energy of four Heartbeat Stage cultivators to operate, which shows how extraordinary this formation is.

“After each infusion of true energy, there’s a rest period. During this rest period, they also have true energy in their bodies. What am I supposed to do?” Chen Zhou said helplessly. Chen Zhou’s original plan was to attack the people maintaining this formation. Now that Chen Zhou knows who is maintaining the formation, he has no way to cause them any real harm.

That true energy alone would be enough to give Chen Zhou a hard time.

"It seems we have to find another way." Chen Zhou said helplessly, looking around. The person Chen Zhou was with now squatted down again.

Although Chen Zhou is currently on top of someone else's body, which seems dangerous, he is actually the safest person. Everyone is focused on searching the bushes, and no one is paying close attention to the other person.

Therefore, Chen Zhou is currently in a very safe situation; however, Chen Zhou is unaware of Wo Wan's condition.

"I wonder how that girl is doing." Chen Zhou looked around worriedly. These people probably hadn't found Wo Wan either, let alone him who just casually looked around.

Searching for someone in this dense thicket of grass is indeed very difficult, so it's perfectly normal that no one has been found so far.

"Since I can't deal with those who are maintaining the formation, I'll just eliminate them all. If no one is searching anymore, won't they just give up what they're doing?" Chen Zhou boldly speculated. This was yet another new method, but it would be extremely difficult to actually implement it.

Chen Zhou wants to achieve something that requires an immense amount of effort.

For example, Chen Zhou doesn't even know the strength of the person he's currently with, or whether he can successfully knock him unconscious with a single blow.

If he fails to knock the man unconscious with a single blow, Chen Zhou will be in grave danger, and his target will be immediately exposed. If he can knock him unconscious, Chen Zhou can then use the opportunity to attack another person.
