Chapter 76 Unraveling the Formation
Three heads were gathered together, with Qingjue in the very center.
The book discovered during the day contains more than 20 different political and legal deconstruction diagrams.
Qingjue: "As expected, the formations sent to seal Qianlun Mountain were not just one type, but more than ten formations of varying heights. They really spared no expense."
Jie Zhoujian: "...They didn't actually obtain this ancient book, did they? How did they figure it out?"
Wen Tianyu guessed: "Ancient books are passed down from generation to generation. The preciousness of this book lies not only in the fact that it records so many formations, but also in the fact that it records the original author. However, it is also possible that there are unsigned versions circulating among the people. It is very likely that he searched for them from all over the place."
He was a ruthless person who used himself as a human experiment.
He seemed to have mentioned before that the complete method of resurrection required finding the descendant of the Heavenly Eye, namely Wen Tianyu.
It's possible they're using him to open up this Jing Pavilion.
When Qingjue looked at his memories, he didn't see all the details clearly. After all, he had done too many things in his life. If Qingjue had to experience every single one of his beastly deeds again, even if he was very powerful, he might still be controlled by him.
However, he felt that this person's ideas were conservative, but his actions were so radical that everything he did was unworthy of being called human affairs.
This ancient book must be a unique piece among unique items. The scattered documents that Jieyou collected before have probably already been destroyed.
They've probably all sunk in the Dead Sea.
“Moreover, I originally thought that everything inside must have been looted, but that’s not the case,” Wen Tianyu said. “The mechanism of Jingge is more complicated than I imagined. Even if he manages to get in by chance, he won’t be able to take away the documents and magical treasures inside. In addition, I have discovered that there are many traps inside the pavilion these days. It can be said that as long as you are inside Jingge, no one can make any rash moves.”
Qingjue thought that even if they fought here, they would have the home-field advantage.
Xie Zhoujian also bluntly said, "He can actually manually create an artificial eye, so he must have a lot of dirty tricks up his sleeve, but fortunately he has nowhere to use them now."
Wen Tianyu nodded: "There are still too many things we don't know. For example, I never knew that the lens of the mind-stabilizing mirror could be implanted into the eyeball. It's really terrifying."
Jie said during the day, "You don't need to follow his example. You don't need his abilities. What's important is your own safety."
Qingjue: "What you said during the day is right. His unorthodox approach is too extreme. Not only him, but he has also driven the entire Xie family to varying degrees of madness."
Now that things have come to this point, this is no longer an issue they should be dwelling on.
Looking back on the grand scheme orchestrated by Jie Nanfeng, I feel fortunate.
Otherwise, the development of the plot would certainly not be within his control.
Once something becomes uncontrollable, it becomes far more terrifying.
Qingjue only truly understood this after coming into this world.
While meticulously planning to disrupt the cultivation world, he also intended to revive himself, but unexpectedly, someone was able to solve the problem of the Gu poison.
Seeing that he was frowning as he spoke, Jie Zhoujian said, "Master is the same. There's no need to worry. You've done enough so far."
He's always been like this, from childhood to adulthood; he always seems to be good at observing and guiding others.
Was it because you often observed people's expressions and moods when you were at the Xie family's house?
Wen Tianyu said, "I don't know exactly which ones were used, but we just need to try to solve them one by one. I can't do it alone, Master and Senior Brother..."
"Of course, your business is my business."
“My thoughts are the same as my master’s.”
It is indeed not easy to thoroughly study the solutions to more than 20 kinds of magic arrays, even if they work together.
Qingjue even called Muyuan for help, and the group practically settled down on the first floor of Jingge.
Ruan Linglai and the others weren't very proficient in studying magic arrays, so helping them at this time would only cause trouble. Therefore, they took on some logistical work, going out to patrol or making tea whenever they had free time.
More than ten days have passed in the blink of an eye. Most of the residents of Beishan have accepted the existence of Jingge and regard it as a divine decree and a blessing from an immortal. They spontaneously stay away from that place and only come to it for help when they encounter trouble.
Helping nearby residents solve small problems is a simple matter, and Ruan Linglai and the others, who have a lot of free time, usually don't refuse.
So, by a twist of fate, Jingge gained an even more legendary aura.
According to local legend in Beishan, there are six immortal heroes living in Jingge, each with unique skills and the power to control everything. As long as one sincerely and devoutly seeks help, one will receive the protection of these immortal heroes.
Several days later, after thoroughly studying the formations in the ancient book, the group, with full preparations, returned to the forbidden area that had been sealed away by the former immortal cultivation family.
After being tied up for so many days, the little carrot spirit was finally able to get out and move around. He followed Yan Shiqun around excitedly, praising the Venerable One and his friends nonstop for being so amazing, having figured out such a profound formation in just a few days.
Yan Shiqun was getting annoyed by what he was being said, and said that if he didn't shut up, he would have Wen Tianyu cast a silencing spell on him.
Only then did it quiet down.
Qingjue thought this little carrot spirit looked just like a child, and its energy was comparable to theirs when they were young.
It seems he hasn't suffered much hardship in the years since leaving the Demonic Sect.
Indeed, Bobo's combat strength was low and his cultivation level was not high, so most people could not tell that he was a demonic cultivator. In addition, he himself was not aggressive, so the residents around Beishan took care of him as a homeless child.
That's why he hesitated when he heard the fake demon lord's instructions.
...Do they really intend to vent their humiliation and discontent on ordinary mortals?
Could such a person truly be the Demon Lord Yan Shi Qun?
Although Bobo had never been in close contact with that once powerful figure, he had seen him from afar.
As a minor demonic cultivator, he usually did odd jobs in the demonic sect.
Yan Shiqun is a very proud person. He knows very well how rare his physical condition is, and the more you see, the more you will find that he has an almost obsessive attitude towards "openness and honesty".
Bobo had heard about the various disputes between the former Demon Lord and Yan Shiqun, and guessed that it was probably his father's despicable methods that made him so disgusted.
Yan Shiqun must not want to become that kind of person, which is why she repeatedly taught the other members of the Demonic Cult that even if they were to fight, they should do so honorably and fairly.
He greatly admired Yan Shiqun and always regarded him as his role model.
So at first, he was very dissatisfied to see the Venerable One with a bunch of righteous disciples he didn't recognize.
After all, he hadn't forgotten how they had been falsely accused and how they had been attacked by a cunning scheme.
The demon lord who lived up to his ideals died because of the very scheme he hated most.
Until the very last moment, he did not give up but chose to fight to the death.
Bobo dislikes righteous monks.
But these few... seem to enjoy His Majesty's deep trust.
Moreover, they knew each other's identities, yet they didn't suspect each other? Although he didn't quite understand, he could tell that the things inside the pavilion were rare treasures, which should be extremely valuable to the righteous path. How could a demonic cultivator be allowed to enter such a place?
And then there's that girl and that youngest-looking guy, who can get along with him like equals, like close friends.
It's important to know that this is something that no one in the Demonic Sect had ever accomplished before.
Most demonic cultivators respected him, envied him, and even feared him. No one dared to befriend someone who could wipe them out in the blink of an eye.
But now it seems that his venerable one also has someone he respects, that immortal in green robes, whose cultivation seems to be the most unfathomable. Whenever these people have any questions, they think of asking him first, including Yan Shiqun, who actually calls him by the honorific title.
What kind of person should be addressed with the honorific title of "Supreme One"?
"Qianlun Mountain is just ten miles ahead." Yan Shiqun still remembers this place.
Qingjue said, "We should have already entered the sight of the nearby demonic cultivators. Be careful."
The group answered in unison, "Yes."
The nimble Aju went ahead to scout the way. He jumped onto a tree and looked into the distance. He could indeed see a dark area with a very abrupt boundary, making the place seem out of place.
The dark mountains in the middle are not high, but you can feel the heat even if you are only ten miles away from here.
Perhaps because of the seal, the actual contents inside cannot be seen clearly.
Aju rolled back to the side and reported the situation ahead.
There were no traps or signs of ambush; they were simply let in openly and honestly.
Could it be that the news of Fan Aotian alerting the enemy hasn't reached that imposter's ears yet?
Otherwise, they should have made some preparations during these several dozen days.
Qingjue had also sent a message to the Yun and Qing families beforehand, saying that he would release the information in case of an emergency.
After traveling some distance, the outline of the sealed mountain range could be seen in the distance.
Dissolving the formation would take a long time, especially since it was a combination of so many different formations. Since some formations might have a backlash effect when they were dispelled, Qingjue was fully responsible for handling this danger.
Jie Zhoujian: "Master, are you really alright?"
"It's alright. As long as I'm not disturbed during the process of breaking the formation, I can use my spiritual power to suppress the backlash."
After Qingjue finished speaking, he realized that his situation was tantamount to being banned.
He could do nothing but relieve the formation; he couldn't interfere in anything else, nor could he be disturbed by anyone else.
Therefore, when Wen Tianyu took Ruan Linglai and Aju to break the formation on the other side, he specially arranged for the two people with the highest combat power to be by his side, Jie Zhoujian and Yan Shiqun.
The latter is a demon lord above all others, while the former is someone who can subdue the latter.
He drew a circle around himself with a twig, then pasted a talisman on the circle to demarcate an area, and sat in the center: "I'm about to begin. I'm counting on you guys until I open my eyes."
Qingjue sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, channeling his spiritual power, seemingly connected to the entire Qianlun Mountain range.
It seemed like this was the moment they had been waiting for; undercurrents were swirling around them, and someone was watching them with predatory eyes.
