Today is Cen Xi's last time entering the great formation in the back mountain. Old Man Gongsun said that as long as she passes this test, she can leave the mountain.
Cen Xi was quite pleased with this, as the mountain was too boring and had no fun at all.
She was someone who loved new experiences, and despite the many dangers that awaited her down the mountain, she still wanted to go down.
Two hours later, Cen Xi killed the last leopard. She thought the formation would automatically dissipate, but to her surprise, she waited for a long time without any results.
Cen Xi knew without a doubt that this was the last test that Old Man Gongsun had left for her.
So I regulated my breathing for a while, and then searched the forest for the array's core. This array is called the Star Shifting Array. Every time the array is activated, the wind and clouds change, and the core of the array is different each time.
After searching for several times without finding it, Cen Xi simply gave up and decided to wait until the evening.
She had also learned this before. Although the array's core would appear during the day, it was not obvious. At night, she had to observe very carefully to find the core. Therefore, she had to be well-rested to meet the challenges ahead.
That evening, she searched carefully for an hour and finally saw a star-shaped object pointing directly to the Qian position.
Cen Xi was overjoyed and took her Broken Shadow Sword, slashing through the air as she flew away.
"break!"
Just as she was about to burst into laughter at the broken formation, she realized she was celebrating far too soon, as the very center of the formation was right on the edge of a cliff.
Unsurprisingly, she fell spectacularly.
The loud roar from earlier was still echoing back and forth in the mountain stream, clearly telling Cen Xi just how miserable she was.
Cen Xi struggled in the air for a while, but in the end it was all in vain.
Left with no other choice, Cen Xi could only pray that she would fall into a pool of water, just like Xiaolongnu.
Perhaps she could also nurture Feng so that Yang Guo, sixteen years later, would discover her.
Dreams are often grand, but reality is often harsh.
She's not that lucky.
There was no pool of water below; instead, there was a thicket of thorns. If she were to fall in, she would be badly injured, worse off than a hedgehog.
At the critical moment, Cen Xi discovered a tree
So she forced herself to use her internal strength to shift her body slightly, and thankfully, she managed to hang on the tree.
After hanging it securely, Cen Xi's tension gradually subsided.
She looked up at the sky, then at the cliff face, and realized she wouldn't be able to make it up tonight.
We'll have to figure something out tomorrow.
Below were thickets of thorns and a few short trees. Cen Xi couldn't find a place to rest, so she found a comfortable spot to sleep on the tree where she was hanging.
Now that her Heavenly Wolf Technique has reached the sixth level and her internal energy cultivation is extremely high, it doesn't matter where she sleeps; it won't harm her body.
The next day, Cen Xi used his lightness skill to climb along the ruins for a while, but he still couldn't climb up because the cliff was too high.
Left with no other choice, she had to leave the thicket of thorns and find another way out.
After searching for a while, Cen Xi was surprised to find that she seemed to have entered another great formation, which she vaguely felt was even more profound than her master's Star Shift Formation.
It seems there are hidden masters beneath the Hidden Sect.
I just don't know who this expert is.
Could it be a powerful demon imprisoned by the Hidden Sect?
Anyway, in the novels and TV dramas she watched before, most of the places were like this, with scenes like this.
Never mind, breaking the formation is the priority. Once this formation is broken, she should be able to see both demons and powerful figures.
Cen Xi spent a day in this formation and finally figured out a bit of the trick.
This seems to be the Hundred-Break Formation, kept hidden away in the secret library of a hidden sect. Because this formation is too profound, no one has been able to decipher it to this day. So it has just been left there to gather dust.
Although all the disciples of the Hidden Sect are exceptionally talented, there are differences in their exceptional talents.
For example, Old Man Gongsun and Yu Kuang are both people with extraordinary talent. However, even they would feel dizzy just by looking at it, so the book "Detailed Explanation of the Hundred-Break Formation" is a divine book for the Hidden Sect.
Cen Xi went in to see it in the second month after she entered the sect. Perhaps because her talent was higher than that of her master and Yu Kuang, she did not feel dizzy at all from beginning to end. Later, in order not to upset Old Man Gongsun, she kept this secret.
Today can be considered a blessing in disguise, as she can personally test this grand formation. If she grasps its essence, it will be an additional bargaining chip in the future.
The term "hundred-point break" means breaking a hundred key points in the formation before dismantling the central key point; only then can the formation be broken.
But she was already exhausted, and with all that flying around, her body certainly couldn't keep up.
Cen Xi thought that since it would take a lot of time anyway, she decided to sleep first, fill her stomach, and then go out to look for food.
Hopefully, I won't lose my life here!
Five days later, at dusk, Cen Xi finally broke through one hundred array points, leaving only one major array point remaining unbroken.
She wanted to skip work and go to sleep, but for some reason...
From the thicket of thorns where she fell, many animals emerged. These were the same animals that had appeared when Old Man Gongsun had arranged for her to practice martial arts: wild boars, wolves, tigers, leopards—basically, all the animals she had killed before.
Moreover, they were all fierce and menacing, as if they wanted to take revenge on her, and they attacked her madly.
Cen Xi could only dodge quickly. In her frantic escape, she accidentally missed a step, and the thicket of thorns seemed to be suddenly imbued with magic, instantly sucking her in.
Cen Xi never expected that she would have such a strong connection with that thicket of thorns. She didn't go in when she fell off the cliff, but in the end, she still had to go in.
Okay! So be it if she dies. She just hopes she won't be reborn as a pig in her next life. She doesn't want to be Zhu Bajie (Pigsy).
Just as Cen Xi was about to accept death again, fate played another cruel joke on her.
Not only did she not die, she actually fell into a hole, and then an old man's voice rang out.
"Seventy years have passed, and finally someone has broken through this Hundred-Break Formation and entered. Come, let me test you!"
Before Cen Xi could even get a good look at the cave after landing, a powerful force struck her.
She was then spun around 360 degrees for 15 minutes before being thrown to the ground.
Cen Xi was dizzy and disoriented for a while before she regained her senses.
She opened her eyes and saw an old man with a white beard that seemed to drag on the ground smiling at her.
Cen Xi cursed loudly: "Hey! You old geezer, I didn't offend you, why are you making fun of me without even knowing what happened? You're getting more and more shameless as you get older."
"Your name is Yan Xi?"
“You’re the one who’s a feast, your whole family is a feast, and you’re the one who lets everyone eat.”
And a banquet? It's not like she's eating delicacies. Damn, her temper is just uncontrollable.
"I mean, your surname is Yan, and your given name is Xi?"
"Don't just give people random names. My name is Cen Xi, not Yan Xi. Old man, did you hear me clearly? Hmm?"
Cen Xi was exhausted after five or six days of work. She never expected that as soon as she got off the plane, the old man would not only turn her around completely, but also, damn it, he wanted to change her name. Is he crazy? Can he just change her name like that? Did she agree to it?
"Alright, let me rephrase the question: Are you Princess Yanxi, the Grand Princess of the Great Banquet?"
The old man sighed and rubbed his forehead. After a long while, he finally spoke up and asked.
