Chapter 181 Game
Luo Xuanyi had already gained a preliminary understanding of the formation through the memories of Hao Fei and Lian Qing, and naturally knew that if she broke the formation now, it would backfire on Yun Po.
The question is how great the backlash Yunpo suffered.
The source of the backlash from formations isn't entirely clear. Currently, the consensus among formation practitioners is that the causal effects of the laws of heaven and earth, borrowed from formations, must be borne by someone. Therefore, even if the formation is broken, the causal effects don't disappear with it, and instead feed back to the person who set it up.
Therefore, the larger and more sophisticated the formation, the greater the backlash. This backlash cannot be resisted by any magic weapon or artifact, and will only be realized by the person who set up the formation.
Looking at the painting array set up by Yunpo, the land within a ten-li radius was also incorporated into the painting. Luo Xuanyi escaped from the scroll, but the land still remained in the unfinished painting. Therefore, this can be said to be a powerful cause and effect of shifting mountains and rivers, which must be fulfilled to backfire on Yunpo.
Therefore, Luo Xuanyi guessed that Yun Po must have suffered a serious injury.
But the strange thing was, why was Yunpo's presence still lingering in this vicinity? Clearly, his methods were so cautious. If Luo Xuanyi were Yunpo, and Zhenpo suffered a backlash, he would definitely use the chess-piercing beast to leave this place.
Luo Xuanyi used the death aura that stretched for thousands of miles to confirm that there was no other Yunpo's aura around. The aura was only within a radius of ten miles and did not change, which meant that Yunpo used some means that Luo Xuanyi did not know to stay here.
Clearly having such means, yet neither attacking nor leaving, this made Luo Xuanyi a little confused.
Luo Xuanyi certainly didn't know that Yun Po was now fully focused on the breakthrough that Luo Xuanyi might bring to her research, so how could he be willing to leave like that.
In this sense, Luo Xuanyi and Yun Po can be said to be extremely similar.
Luo Xuanyi was extremely curious about Yun Po's methods. It could be said that the formation method Luo Xuanyi wanted to follow was very similar to Yun Po's - laying out the formation silently among the enemies and killing them in a safe situation.
To obtain this knowledge, one must either practice for hundreds of years like Yunpo, which also depends on one's talent, or kill Yunpo directly.
Unfortunately, Luo Xuanyi knew she hadn't truly seen through Yun Po's methods, and she wasn't willing to act rashly. As a cultivator capable of using the heavens and earth as a formation, Luo Xuanyi suspected Yun Po had probably at least reached the realm of Refining Void.
Such a perfect resource for enlightenment is so close by, yet we can't access it. What a shame. It's like closing the library to book lovers.
Luo Xuanyi was heartbroken, but she didn't act rashly. She stood still, trying to find Yun Po's trace.
Yun Po, who was clearly a human cultivator but turned into nothingness, and Luo Xuanyi, whose true form was a ghost cultivator but condensed into a human form, were stuck in a strange stalemate on this desolate yellow earth.
Until the scorching sun set, and although it was still as hot as the sun at noon, Luo Xuanyi sighed.
There's no way to find a flaw. This formation cultivator's concentration must be too good.
Could it be that Yun Po's life-saving method only allowed her to erase traces of her movements without being able to move? Doesn't that mean that as long as Yun Po had the determination to stay where she was, no one could do anything to her? Luo Xuanyi began to speculate idly.
Suddenly, Luo Xuanyi had an idea.
Yes, as long as Yunpo has the determination to stay still, Luo Xuanyi will never be able to find any flaws, nor will she be able to find out the reason why Yunpo stayed here.
In this case, why not create an opportunity to make Yun Po waver?
Excluding the fact that Yun Po could not leave due to his martial arts skills, Yun Po neither attacked nor left, so he must have something to ask of Luo Xuanyi.
If it was a righteous cultivator like Lian Qing, he should have used the Fu Seal to send a message to the Fuwen Tower and wait for reinforcements. However, Luo Xuanyi had an inexplicable feeling that Yun Po was not that kind of cultivator.
Would an upright cultivator sacrifice the mountains and rivers within a radius of ten miles and a city just to kill one person?
So, what exactly does Yunpo want?
How can one shake such a powerful monk with words?
"I say, you are still here, right, Zhen Xiu?"
In the end, Luo Xuanyi chose to test the subject with slight words first.
The atmosphere around him did not change.
Yun Po vanished into nothingness, unable to answer. Unless she transformed herself into a physical form again, but by then, she knew she couldn't abduct Luo Xuanyi in complete safety.
Yun Po, who has 460 years of cultivation and experience, will not be easily shaken, even if she really wants to study Luo Xuanyi in front of her.
"Don't you want to know how I broke the formation?"
Luo Xuanyi's words directly hit Yun Po's thoughts.
Curious, how could she not be curious? Her master, Fu Ya, had painstakingly pursued the truth of the Heavenly Dao for nearly ten thousand years, and she had also devoted her entire life to this pursuit. The Luo Xuanyi before her could very well be the key to unlocking her doubts, so how could she not be curious?
But now Yun Po had no way to catch Luo Xuanyi for interrogation, so it was just a thought.
Would he reveal his secrets? Just thinking about it made it clear that it was impossible.
"Let me tell you."
The air around was slightly fluctuating.
Luo Xuanyi noticed this keenly, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
Confirmed.
Luo Xuanyi certainly wouldn't reveal her secret, but Yun Po was clearly shaken by this statement. As long as there was such a possibility, Yun Po, who cared about it, would never remain indifferent, so he subconsciously wavered.
However, Yun Po's hesitation was enough for Luo Xuanyi to deduce the most important information.
This shows that Yun Po cares about Luo Xuanyi's own secret, which means that Yun Po has realized the importance of the origin of the strange cultivation.
This is very strange. It's not that Luo Xuanyi thinks no one will know about Gui Xiu. Just like Zang Yaozong and Ding Jing Zhenren already know some of the Taoist methods of Gui Xiu, more and more people will know about Gui Xiu.
What Luo Xuanyi found strange was how Yun Po confirmed the specialness of the strange cultivator.
It could only be revealed in the painting array. With this association, Luo Xuanyi finally used psychological warfare to decipher the secret of Yun Po's painting array.
Yunpo's painting world must be a replica of the way of heaven, and the world in the painting must be reproduced according to the rules of the way of heaven.
However, if we continue to do so, we are acting on behalf of Heaven and seizing the authority of Heaven.
That's right, Yun Po's true intention was to rewrite the laws of nature and slay existence itself. The painting was merely a deception, deceiving not only Luo Xuanyi but also the entire laws of nature.
When Yunpo's painting was complete, the moment the entire sky was enchanted by the formation of forty-eight fake stars, the world of painting constructed by Yunpo would be mistaken for the true world of Heaven. And Yunpo, the creator of the painting world, would, at that moment, become the consciousness of Heaven itself. With a single stroke of her brush, she could rewrite Luo Xuanyi's existence, causing it to vanish within the painting world.
If Luo Xuanyi was really a human, she would be covered in cold sweat at this moment.
They are very similar, so they will never be friends hh
