These low hills...
Upon closer inspection, Shi Xuan noticed that the trees and rocks on the hill looked quite old. Judging from the size of the trees, it must have taken at least a decade to grow to that size, and the rocks seemed to have weathered many storms.
So, this plan has been in the works for a long time! And they were completely unaware of it.
The fact that all the low hills were arranged according to the rules of the formation without anyone in the sect having any doubts is astonishing in itself.
Shi Xuan observed everything she could see before she finally emerged from this mysterious state.
“If it weren’t for Master and the others inside, I would have blown this hill up,” Shi Xuan said.
Breaking a formation from the inside is more difficult because it's hard to find traces of it. However, breaking it from the outside is much simpler. You can find the core of the formation and break it softly, or forcibly destroy the components of the formation.
However, forcibly breaking the formation has a drawback: most formation masters will set up a self-destruct mechanism to prevent their formations from being forcibly destroyed from the outside. If the formation is forcibly destroyed, it will cause an explosion or other unexpected accidents.
Some array builders, fearing accidental damage, use backup methods, which generally prevent damage to a portion of the array from affecting it.
Lu Shenzhi said, "If there's an explosion, Master will be fine, but I'm afraid some elders who haven't yet reached the Nascent Soul stage might not be able to withstand it..."
“There’s no other way,” Shi Xuan said, rubbing his nose. “We have to find the core of the formation.”
At this time, the array cultivators who had gone out to investigate returned one after another, but they had not found anything about the Rising Dragon Array.
Shi Xuan had already figured out a way to break the formation.
She instructed, "Sun Shaoxing, you lead everyone to divide into several groups and set up a maze around the perimeter. Set up as many as possible so that if any outsiders try to escape from the direction of the Luoyin Sect, you can trap them."
Sun Shaoxing trusted Shi Xuan completely and immediately nodded in agreement upon hearing her arrangement.
Shi Xuan was quite confident in Sun Shaoxing, as he acted with composure and thoroughness, and was very thoughtful.
"I have discovered traces of the formation; now we need to go and continue the investigation."
"What kind of formation?" many disciples asked curiously.
Shi Xuan did not hide anything and said frankly, "The Eighth-Order Rising Dragon Formation is a trapping formation. As for whether there are other formations inside, it is still unknown."
"An eighth-order formation?!" Everyone was extremely surprised: "It's actually an eighth-order formation, no wonder it could trap our teachers inside..."
If they can trap high-level cultivators using an eighth-order formation, then their desires must be even greater. Or perhaps, they harbor some irreconcilable hatred towards this person...
Everyone couldn't help but turn their attention to the disciples of the Hidden Sect, their gazes seeming to ask: What exactly did your sect do to this Pang Jiaxiang?
The disciples of the Hidden Sect were speechless, staring with innocent eyes, as if to say, "We don't know him."
After making the arrangements, Shi Xuan returned to the vicinity of the Luoyin Sect's mountain gate.
She first deduced from what she had seen before, circled the possible locations of the four array eyes, and then explored those four directions.
It is still the microscopic world brought about by the growth of all things. The extensive search reveals every detail of the outer perimeter of this formation.
After searching all four areas, Shi Xuan still hadn't found the array's core.
“No,” Shi Xuan tapped the wooden plaque at his waist and said, “Senior Brother, we’ve all read the manual for this Rising Dragon Formation. The formation’s core can’t be located in these four places. But it’s not in any of these four places.”
"Not the Rising Dragon Formation?" Lu Shenzhi asked.
“It could also be a set of formations,” Shi Xuan frowned. If it really was a set of formations, without knowing what kind of formation it was, the formation’s eye could be anywhere. Could they possibly circle around the Luoyin Sect to check it? How long would that take? By that time, Pang Jiaxiang might have already gotten what he wanted.
“I’ve heard of a method where one attaches their divine sense to an array plate, and a high-level array plate can make judgments based on the owner’s senses.”
As soon as Lu Shenzhi finished speaking, Shi Xuan took out the Lone Star Array Plate, attached a wisp of his divine consciousness to the array plate, and started running the Myriad Things Genesis again.
Having used this mysterious state so many times, I'm now becoming more and more adept at it.
Sure enough, the array plate, imbued with divine sense and infused with spiritual power, did not remain unresponsive as before. Instead, it vibrated slightly, and the pointer pointed in a direction.
Shi Xuan walked in the direction indicated by the array plate until it stopped reacting, then he began to observe again.
Sure enough, right there, a group of low hills that looked quite different appeared. Although they were not much different in appearance, the spiritual energy fluctuations here were exceptionally active.
“Throw a Exploding Pill here, and the Rising Dragon Formation will be broken,” Lu Shenzhi said.
"Wait a moment," Shi Xuan paused for a moment as he took out the Explosive Pill, then suddenly remembered something and said, "Senior brother, do you remember that there was a notebook in the illusion that recorded a method for reversing the formation?"
"The formation is reversed?" Lu Shenzhi realized. "You want to injure the person who set up the formation?"
Shi Xuan revealed a malicious smile and nimbly began to move around outside the array: "This should be quite interesting."
Before long, Shi Xuan set up a small and exquisite array. He inlaid spirit stones around the small array and then merged the small array into the array eye, making it one with the array eye.
Everything in this world has two sides; the opposite of a negative formation must be positive. Master and Sect Master have worked hard; they need to relax.
In a flash, the eye of the array flickered, and the faint glow of spiritual energy changed from a pale blue to red...
Unseen by them, the direction of spiritual energy flow within the formation suddenly reversed, becoming a reverse formation.
Lin Daozi and the others, who were trapped in the formation, immediately sensed that something was wrong.
The dummies that were fighting them were getting stronger and stronger, but just a moment ago, they suddenly disappeared!
The mannequins turned to dust and vanished into nothingness. The scenery around them also underwent a dramatic transformation!
Surprisingly, a beautiful scene of vibrant life and blooming flowers appeared everywhere.
This beautiful scenery did not make the trapped sect leaders and elders relax; on the contrary, they became even more vigilant.
Even Lin Daozi was on high alert, gripping his sword and releasing his divine sense to be on guard.
This lush, leafy scene looks even more dangerous!
As the saying goes, the more vibrant the color, the more dangerous it is. The current calm is like the calm before the storm, and it seems that at any moment, several more terrifying monsters may jump out from these flowers, or these flowers may spray poison and turn into traps, beautiful yet dangerous.
With Lin Daozi in such a state, the remaining sect leaders became even more vigilant.
Those elders who had not yet reached the Nascent Soul stage were even more alarmed. They had even begun to use their swords to slash at the flowers around them. When they saw that the flowers were harmless like ordinary flowers, they became even more nervous and adopted defensive postures, looking as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
