As Zhao Feng and his companion left this space, the remaining people breathed a sigh of relief.
Whether or not I get the treasure doesn't matter; the most important thing is to stay alive.
Zhao Feng had Meng Xiangyi place his hands on him, and the two stood at the edge of the formation, looking at the layers of light and shadow surrounding them. Zhao Feng carefully felt the guidance of the blood in his body and collapsed into the formation in the nearest direction.
One day after the secret realm opened, in a vast space, there were towering hills and lush trees. A great river flowing from an unknown source adorned this forest, making the space appear vibrant with life.
A flash of light appeared, and more than a dozen figures arrived at this space.
It was Zhao Feng, Chu Di, and the others. They were holding hands, with a wisp of true energy flowing between them, which allowed them to stay together when crossing space.
This is also the experience that people have summarized from the previous two openings of the secret realm.
They all carried bulging bundles on their backs, indicating they had reaped a bountiful harvest.
"Junior brother, this space seems to be a Lesser Heavenly Cycle Formation, it's truly remarkable!"
Chu Di looked up and glanced around, secretly verifying his own array formation, his eyes looking quite serious.
Zhao Feng nodded in agreement, saying, "The most powerful thing about the Ciyun Mountain Secret Realm is the Great Zhou Heavenly Array. It draws the power of the constellations into the array, creating a continuous flow of energy that keeps the energy of the secret realm stagnant. The array becomes more and more stable. The 360 ​​constellations are infinitely varied, and it is difficult for us to overcome them with our current array cultivation. The Small Zhou Heavenly Array draws the power of the 28 constellations, which is much simpler, but it is also very complex. It will take some effort to break it."
Chu Di secretly examined the formation, constantly verifying it. His forehead was slightly sweaty, a clear sign of mental exhaustion.
Seeing this, Zhao Feng quickly called out softly, "Senior brother, wake up."
Chu Di was startled awake by these words and said, "That was close. This knowledge of formations is indeed not easy to learn. Without a certain talent for formations, it is impossible to delve into it."
Zhao Feng sighed and couldn't help but advise, "Senior brother, you are naturally intelligent and believe that you can learn anything in the world. But the Dao of Arrays is not like that at all. My master said that talent is not something that can be learned by intelligence. Perhaps even a fool can make rapid progress, while the most intelligent person cannot even get to the door. The way of Heaven is to take from the surplus and give to the deficient. This may be the equality of all things."
Upon hearing this, Chu Di chuckled and said, "Junior brother, you have such a gentle nature, I didn't expect you to have such insights. Congratulations! From now on, you will be in charge of setting up the formation, and I will be in charge of showing off. Clear division of labor."
Zhao Feng said speechlessly, "Senior brother, what are you pretending for at a time like this? Let's explore this space a bit more. What if we can't break the formation? Wouldn't you make fun of my reputation as a genius in formations for the rest of my life?"
As the two chatted and laughed, they walked through the great formation.
The two observed and talked at the same time, saying things that the guards behind them couldn't understand at all. They only knew that it was related to the formation. They could understand each word on its own, but they were completely confused when they put them together.
The group walked for two hours, and the two men looked rather grim.
"Senior brother, we underestimated the Lesser Heavenly Cycle Formation."
Chu Di empathized and said, "Yes, although this Lesser Heavenly Cycle Formation doesn't have many variations, it's intricately linked. With our current level of formation cultivation, we'd probably have to use a clumsy method to break it."
The clumsy method Chu Di mentioned was to try each of the twenty-eight array base points one by one. However, finding those twenty-eight base points was not easy, and most people would be helpless at this point. But they had read through the summary of the Gold and Silver Gate arrays and could find the base points, though it was too time-consuming.
Not only does a formation have a core, but it also has a foundation for its formation, hidden within the formation. Theoretically, no matter what kind of formation it is, the gate of life will appear at any of the foundation points. Once you find it, you can leave.
The two of them wanted to use this clumsy method to break the formation. Of course, others could do it too, but the prerequisite was that they had to know the origin of the formation and how many base points it had. Otherwise, how could they break the formation?
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. During these three days, Chu Di and Zhao Feng found ten base points, but without exception, none of them were the location of the gate of life.
The guards behind them knew they couldn't be of much help these past few days, so they tried their best to make sure the two young masters ate well. Although it took a lot of effort, the two young masters had a good meal, eating everything from tiger penis and leopard meat to shrimp.
Knowing that they wouldn't be able to return from the secret realm for a month or two, the guards diligently studied cooking beforehand and brought plenty of seasonings, which made the two of them very happy.
Chu Di held a chicken leg in one hand and a bear paw in the other, his mouth greasy as he ate. He said between bites, "Junior brother, when we get back, I'll have the chef from my family come over and learn some cooking skills from these guards. This is so delicious!"
After saying that, he swallowed the bear paw in one big gulp, thoroughly enjoying himself.
Zhao Feng smiled and said, "Senior brother, you can't learn that. These guards all practice external martial arts. The bear paw you ate was punched thousands of times by them to make the meat inside chewy before it was roasted. Even if your chef worked himself to death, he couldn't do that."
The conversation between the two made everyone laugh, and they were able to relax after the past few days.
At this moment, Zhao Feng seemed to sense something, secretly checked, and said with a serious expression, "Meng Xiangyi, your nephew seems to be in danger. I can feel that drop of blood on his body trembling violently, as if he is fighting with someone."
Meng Xiangyi quickly put down the bear meat in his hand, ran to Zhao Feng in two steps, and was about to speak.
Zhao Feng raised his hand to stop him from speaking, and after carefully sensing for a moment, he said, "I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"
Meng Xiangyi was so flustered by the news of his nephew's accident that he failed to notice the relaxed tone in Zhao Feng's words.
"Young Master, I... I want to hear the bad news first."
Zhao Feng said seriously, "The bad news is that we're trapped in this space, and as you know, we definitely won't be able to get out anytime soon."
"Oh? And what's the good news?"
Zhao Feng chuckled and said, "The good news is that your nephew is also in this space. Hmm, he should be on the hill to the east where we first came from."
Meng Xiangyi was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening. At this moment, a burly man walked over and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Old Meng, you're really confused. Since the young master dared to joke with you, then naturally nothing will happen."
Everyone smiled without saying a word. Zhao Feng treated them kindly, and they were the first to stand up for him when he was in trouble. How could he make fun of them when they were going through a misfortune?
Zhao Feng stood up, dusted himself off, and said, "Senior brother, let's go after we finish eating. We should balance work and rest. Let's see who has the ability to get this far."
Chu Di remained noncommittal. Unlike Zhao Feng, he was not so casual. After standing up, he slightly activated the Free and Unfettered Divine Technique, and his entire body was filled with azure true energy, which completely removed the oil and dust from his body, making him look elegant and otherworldly once again.
Zhao Feng said speechlessly, "When it comes to showing off, if I dare to claim second place, no one dares to claim first!"
Chu Di quickly interrupted him, saying, "When it comes to showing off, I only admire the Holy Son. His demeanor is that of a celestial being banished to the mortal realm."
