Luo Chu thought he was the only one in the team who was good at array formations, so he worked extra hard and couldn't wait to make a difference.

"I told you, having me with you is still very useful." With that, Luo Chu began to form hand seals, activating his magic and injecting spiritual power into the ground.

Even without speaking, Shen Sang also activated his spiritual power, and the fiery red spiritual power spread across the ground.

Luo Chu could see exactly what she was doing. His smug smile suddenly vanished, replaced by surprise. "How come you also know array techniques?!"

Moreover, her speed in searching the formation with spiritual power was in no way inferior to Luo Chu's.

She might not be as skilled as Luo Chu, but her slightly higher cultivation level made up for it.

So it seems that her spiritual power spread at about the same speed as Luo Chu's.

The snake woman did not come in with her this time. After being tempered by the formation of the Hall of Ten Thousand Spirits, she can now sense the location of the formation eye on her own without any problem.

However, the people of Feiyun Sect only knew that they had broken the formation of Wanling Palace, but they did not know that she had learned the formation technique.

Even Mei Mei and the others had the same shocked expression.

"Isn't it normal to learn array formation techniques in order to break the array?" Shen Sanruo asked lightly.

She has never been one to sit idly by and wait for death; she feels much more at ease when she has some things under her own control.

"Haha, you can't just learn new things whenever you want." Zhu Huaqiao chuckled awkwardly, giving her a thumbs up. "Only you can do it, you are the only one."

Luo Chu looked as if he had been slapped, his face burning with pain.

He had thought that Shen Sangruo would look up to him because of his array formation skills, but he never expected that in just over a year, she would have already learned array formation skills on her own and that she didn't need him at all.

At this moment, Luo Chu could no longer be smug. Like an eggplant that had been hit by frost, he silently examined the array's core.

Feng Heyun and Wen Xuan's eyes were filled with complex emotions; they were shocked by her talent and happy for her unparalleled talent.

If she were still their junior sister, they wouldn't even imagine how proud they would be of her, and they would definitely show her off to everyone they met.

Then they lowered their eyes, but sadly, they could never go back.

Even the chance to stand with her now was stolen by them; they are nothing anymore.

The group had different thoughts, but they didn't say anything on the surface. They just watched quietly as Shen Sangruo and Luo Chu searched for the array's core.

Since there's nothing here, there's no need to explore like we did with the previous formations.

As the two infused their spiritual energy, veins appeared on the ground and quickly spread throughout the entire area.

The entire layout of the formation was revealed to everyone in front of them.

"The previous formations were all meticulously designed to conceal their layout, so why does this formation do the opposite?" Chen Zhouxing's eyes were filled with astonishment.

"Are they making it so obvious because they're afraid we won't crack it fast enough?"

If one can see a clear array layout, even without using spiritual power to probe, an experienced array cultivator can directly locate the array's core.

Now that the formation's layout is fully revealed, it is undoubtedly advantageous for them in finding the formation's core.

“Those evil cultivators wouldn’t be so kind.” Mei Mei coldly glanced at the faintly glowing array lines. “They must have even more insidious tricks up their sleeves for us.”

The more important the formation, the less those evil cultivators wanted them to discover it.

Luo Nanchuan's formation was the last one to be discovered. If the patterns of those formations hadn't been found, we probably wouldn't have been able to find this place by now.

Those evil cultivators went to such great lengths to conceal this formation, and even the yin and evil in this environment are so prominent.

Everything about this formation demonstrates its unique nature, making the protective mechanisms within it even more difficult to deal with.

“Something unusual is bound to happen. This might just be a smokescreen set up by those evil cultivators. Everyone, don’t let your guard down,” Zhu Huaqiao said.

Everyone was on high alert.

"Let's find the array's core first, and then see what to do next." Shen Sanruo increased the speed at which she was outputting spiritual energy.

Luo Chu quickly adjusted, knowing full well that his purpose in coming here was to destroy the array's core with Shen Sangruo so that she could safely and smoothly exit the barrier.

He didn't have time to think about anything else.

I'm upset, but I haven't felt any better lately anyway.

The two focused all their attention on finding the key point of the formation, and with the layout of the formation already clearly visible before them, they quickly found the answer.

She and Luo Chu moved their hands in unison, directing their spiritual energy in one direction.

"now!"

With a clear shout, a black, half-person-high stone appeared out of thin air in the center of the formation.

An eerie light floated on its surface, giving it the same dark and evil feel as the formation itself.

Immediately, the formation beneath their feet also changed.

The lines constantly intersect and change, rearranging and combining into polygons of different shapes, each roughly the size of a room.

It extends outwards from the center of that black stone.

If viewed from above, it resembles a giant spider web, seemingly gathering everything onto the black stone at its center.

"So we've found the core of the formation? What do we do now? Should we just go over and smash that rock?" Feng Heyun loosened his joints, looking eager to try.

There is still some distance between here and the center of the formation.

Jiang Chu was greatly shocked and pointed to the next stone slab in front of them, "If you dare to walk on this, I'll respect you as a real man."

"Do I look that stupid?" Feng Heyun pouted in dissatisfaction. "Isn't this a question for you?"

This is the third time he's participated in breaking the formation; he's not that brainless.

The unobstructed environment, the exposed array layout, and the quick identification of the array's core all suggested something unusual.

Fortunately, it's not like we're completely clueless yet.

Shen Sanruo looked at the stone slab in front of her, her expression thoughtful. That group of evil cultivators could only make trouble on this.

She flipped her hand, took out a crystal from her Qiankun bag, and threw it at the stone slab.

Others were drawn to her movements and turned to look.

The moment the crystal landed on the stone slab, the lines surrounding the slab suddenly emitted a dazzling light.

As if some device had been activated, a barrier immediately appeared, enclosing the stone slabs into a closed space.

Countless black wisps of energy emanated from the cracks in the rock, coalescing into countless shadowy figures. These shadowy figures roared and lunged at the crystal!

It instantly tore the crystal into dust!

This scene immediately widened everyone's eyes.
