Seeking the way to cover the sky

Chapter 169 Troublesome Formation
Xu Cheng did not respond after hearing Mu Lingtian's slightly arrogant speech. He just nodded slightly and then smiled.

"Since the two fellow Taoists have finished practicing, let's continue moving forward. There is still a formation pattern ahead of us waiting for us to decipher."

Duan De immediately became extremely positive after hearing this. He looked at the Mu brothers and sisters, the sourness in his tone still lingering.

"What Xu Cheng said is absolutely true. You two brothers and sisters have been practicing for more than half a month, and after all, this imperial tomb cannot withstand the power of time. It has begun to collapse now, and there is not much time left for us to hunt for treasures."

"Because this imperial tomb is extremely fragile at this time, and there are many great saints in the core area fighting for the treasure. This move is also accelerating the collapse of this imperial tomb. If we don't hurry up, one day, this place will be destroyed. The crypts destroyed themselves.”

"You two brothers and sisters will have nothing to regret when you have a great opportunity, but we are unlucky. We haven't explored many places during this trip, and now we haven't even obtained a useful treasure."

"If this secret realm collapses, you two will still be at a loss even if you don't gain anything from it. It's different for us, so hurry up."

Mu Wanying was stunned for a moment, then reacted and showed an apologetic smile.

"This kind of thing actually happened. Thank you fellow Taoists for protecting us. After all, the opportunities here are rare and we don't want to miss them, so we should seize the time."

The group of people immediately turned into thunder and rushed towards the depths of the sky. There was a medium-sized passage there, which seemed to be relatively stable. The passage was completely blue, and the illusion behind it could not be seen at all.

The speed of these people was too fast. In just a few breaths, they had crossed the space passage from the small world that had been damaged by the war and entered the third level mentioned by the Mu family brothers and sisters.

Looking at the scene in front of him, even Xu Cheng felt a little numb. The world looked vast, but most of the world was shrouded in dense formations. Although this was only a small world, it was still enough. The size of the previous Donghuang, with array patterns covering such a large space, is truly a masterpiece!
In the boundless sea of ​​formations, there are six brown stone houses located in different places, but there is something inside that no one can see clearly. In this formation, the consciousness is suppressed in one Within a very limited distance, it was impossible to detect very far, so even Xu Cheng was not sure whether there were real treasures in those stone houses.

Xu Cheng can be considered well-informed, but such a spectacular scene made him unable to stop being shocked. Even if he looked through ancient history, he couldn't find such a huge formation area!

No wonder the Mu family brothers and sisters, who have reached the level of saint king, are helpless in this area. If Xu Cheng had doubts before, all the doubts in his heart have been dissipated now.

Xu Cheng couldn't figure out who set up this array pattern area, but his dull eyes had already expressed his helplessness towards that crazy person.

Although he hadn't explored it carefully yet, Xu Cheng had already noticed the difficulty of this array pattern field with just a cursory glance.

In this almost endless sea of ​​formations, Xu Cheng only made a brief exploration, and a large number of murderous intentions appeared. Those locations where murderous intentions were revealed were obvious killing formations. Once he accidentally stepped into , maybe he died without even knowing how.

After Xu Cheng finally let go of his heavy consciousness, his expression not only did not look relaxed, but became even more ugly, with his two beautiful eyebrows almost twisted together.

Not because of anything else, but because after Xu Cheng carefully explored this ocean of formation patterns, he discovered that there were more hidden murderous intentions here than he imagined, and the murderous intentions at every step were not just talk!

Immediately, Xu Cheng reached out and grabbed the formation pattern that was close at hand, and a small piece of the formation pattern immediately fell into his hands.

At this time, Xu Cheng's face became even more ugly again. Before he could check the structure of the runes in these formations, these formations turned into a piece of spiritual energy light and floated away.

"Huh? This..."

Before Xu Cheng could grab another piece of formation pattern, the somewhat damaged formation pattern that he had torn apart began to absorb a large amount of power from the void. Those incomplete areas were healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. To be completely restored to your original state.

At this time, Xu Cheng's hand that had been raised finally slowly lowered it. He looked at the formation patterns in confusion. It was not like he had never seen formation patterns that could be repaired by themselves, but there was no other formation pattern that could compare. It’s comparable to the repair speed of this array pattern!

Immediately, Xu Cheng looked back at the Mu brothers and sisters behind him with an extremely strange expression, with a hint of complexity in his eyes.

"When you came here a few times before, did the formation patterns you saw really look like this?"

Although the Mu family brothers and sisters had already told everyone the information about the third level, even Xu Cheng couldn't believe his eyes. The information the two brothers and sisters told was almost completely different from the situation here.

Xu Cheng remembered, however, that the two brothers and sisters never mentioned before that the formation coverage here was so wide, nor did they mention the six stone houses.

However, these things are understandable. After all, the two parties were not familiar with each other at the time, and it was understandable not to disclose these key information.

Then, in front of the cave, Xu Cheng led Bai Ze and Duan De in too hastily. The two brothers and sisters did not have any extra time to supplement Xu Cheng and his party with information.

Later, everyone was really unlucky and met the strange Great Sage again. The battle was too fierce at that time, so it was normal that there was no time to talk. As for later, everyone came in by themselves and could see the general situation, so there was no need for the Mu family brothers and sisters to talk anymore. .

Mu Wanying looked at Xu Cheng's strange expression and immediately understood what he meant. She turned her head away in embarrassment and spoke in a low voice.

"When we came to this level a few times before, the formation pattern here was like this. It has indeed not changed at all."

Hearing this, Xu Cheng's expression became a little weird, and his eyes became weirder.

"Did you really force yourself to walk very far in this formation?"

"I have to say, your luck is really good. There is almost a murderous attack here. Some of the formations are even ready to move at the slightest touch. The power that bursts out is enough for you to drink a pot!"

"Being able to withstand this pressure in this array and even advance for at least several miles, logically speaking, it is almost impossible for you to complete this matter. Are you really the chosen one?"

Duan De has been in and out of major ancient tombs all year round, and is no stranger to various formation patterns. He is even considered an expert in them. At this time, he naturally saw some clues. He also looked at Mu Mu with some confusion. Two brothers and one sister.

"Indeed, this formation is already difficult to move even an inch. It is truly a miracle that you can actually advance several miles here."

"To be able to walk forward for several miles in this formation and then retreat completely, and to be able to realize enlightenment in that small world where all the rules are disrupted, are you and your brother, Wood Fairy, really the biological children of heaven and earth?"

Mu Lingtian was still so taciturn, seemingly unwilling to say another word.Mu Wanying was also slightly silent, with a trace of embarrassment flashing in her eyes. It seemed that this pattern brought back some not-so-good memories for her.

"We did try to push forward several times, but you also know that the formations here are extremely dangerous, and my brother and I are not good at it, so we can only try to force our way through with tyrannical strength."

"We knew it was impossible to cross this vast ocean of formations, so we just tried to approach the nearest stone house to see if there would be a real treasure of creation stored inside."

"It's not normal to have such a large sea of ​​formations here, and it's obviously even more unusual for a stone house to still exist in such a dangerous formation, so my brother and I fought in that stone house idea."

After listening to Mu Wanying's words, Xu Cheng's face did not show the slightest surprise. After all, this place is really weird. Any normal person would think so. If it were him, he would definitely think first when encountering this situation. Check out the first stone house.

Looking at this boundless ocean of formations, Xu Cheng frowned and kept thinking about ways to break the situation.

When Xu Cheng didn't know the specific situation before, he thought that it was not easy to dismantle a mere formation pattern. He had mastered the secret of the Nine Secrets, and Duan De was on hand to help. It was not easy to dismantle a mere formation pattern. loose?

The Nine Secrets were created by the Heavenly Master in the Mythical Age. They each represent the top of a field. For example, the Xing Zi Secret is known as the fastest in the world, and the Dou Zi Secret is known as the best attack in the world. So the combination of characters Secret, as the name suggests, represents the top of the formation pattern. It is natural that it can give Xu Cheng such great confidence.

Although the composing secret can be easily dismantled and quickly deployed, the specific attainments still depend on the person who uses it. For example, Xu Cheng, how many years did it take for him to get the composing secret?No matter how fast your formation attainments improve, it won't be too outrageous.

But what is this vast formation?This is a place where even the real great sage would be daunted. How could Xu Cheng break such a large formation pattern with his attainments?
As for partial cracking, it sounds much easier, but there are dangers at every step here, and the danger level in some places is even comparable to that of the real Emperor's formation. How can anyone dare to step forward easily?
It would be even more outrageous to forcibly break the formation pattern against the path that the Mu family brothers and sisters have walked. Not to mention whether the Mu family brothers and sisters can still have that kind of good luck. Even if the good luck like God's favor continues to bless everyone, everyone still has it. How could he really forcefully walk to the nearest stone house?
You know, the Mu family brothers and sisters are the true kings of saints. Even if they exhaust their magical power, they can only go a few miles away. The brown stone house is tens of thousands of miles away!
Tens of thousands of miles!This distance, which Xu Cheng could reach in an instant with just one casual step, was now like a natural chasm in front of everyone.

Such a long distance, even if Xu Cheng is in the Chaos Body and has the highest level of human immortality, it is impossible to cross it by force. Even if he is squeezed dry, he can't do it, even if he has two imperial weapons above his head, he can't cross it. possible!

Xu Cheng then grimaced and sighed slightly as he looked at the shocking and hopeless distance.

"There is really no way. The formations here are too difficult. Whether it is breaking the formation, attacking by force, or finding a safe route, it is an impossible task for us."

"To tell the truth, I have a secretariat. This was the source of my confidence in agreeing to the two Taoist friends before. But in this situation, even having a secretariat is of no use."

"If I could reach the realm of a great sage, I might still be able to give it a try, but now, I really have no choice."

As Xu Cheng finished speaking, the Mu brothers and sisters were first surprised, and then looked disappointed when they heard that Xu Cheng had the legendary word combination secret.

Even Xu Cheng, who has the secret of grouping, only said that the cultivation of the Great Sage might be a try. What else can others do?There is a high probability that the team in this cave will end in failure.

Not long after, Duan De, who was wandering around with a compass, finally came back. He also had a sad look on his face.

"I didn't expect that, Taoist Master, I have traveled across major ancient tombs and mausoleums for decades. I have even learned about the Great Emperor's dojo, and now I am actually blocked by a formation."

"Master Tao, I'm not willing to give in! I finally entered the emperor's tomb and worked hard in this cave for so long, but in the end I could only stop and look at the treasure mountain indifferently. It's really hateful!"

Duan De did not make any progress, which was still expected by everyone, but there were not many surprises at this time.

However, everyone had strange expressions and remained strangely silent, each wanting to speak but holding back.

At this time, Bai Ze's role was revealed. He did not get used to this outrageous and wicked Taoist priest. He directly raised his head high and looked down at the fat Taoist priest with squinting eyes.

"Hmph! Are you still working hard?"

"The qualification to enter the Emperor's Tomb was purchased. The cave team did not contribute much. When they saw the strange Great Sage, they were still hiding under my protection. At most, they surveyed and studied the formation patterns here. And it’s all in vain, why do you, a wicked Taoist priest, have the nerve to say it’s hard work?”

Bai Ze had long been dissatisfied with Duan De, but this time it was Duan De himself who came to the door. He would not let go of such an advantageous ridicule, so he naturally wanted to scold this unscrupulous Taoist priest to death.

Duan De blushed when he heard this, and the fat on his face trembled slightly, and his fingers turned white from pinching him. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to refute, but he couldn't find any reason to refute. He could only snort coldly and shake his sleeves.

"Huh! Ignorant boy, you have no clues and tricks!"

Several people turned back and took another look at the boundless sea of ​​formations, feeling disappointed in their hearts.

After all, it has been more than half a month since I entered the crypt, and now I have finally reached the door of the treasure house, but I can only watch and no one can take away half of it. How can I be reconciled?

Despite the expressionless expressions on their faces, almost no emotion was expressed, but they couldn't tell how disappointed they were.

Mu Lingtian spoke, his tone still as low and hoarse.

"Let's go. This place has no destiny for us. We can't force it."

Although a few people were unwilling to do so, they had no other choice. If they retreated at this time, they might still have time to find the next place of creation, and staying here would just be a waste of time.

Just when everyone was about to leave, Xu Cheng suddenly stopped and looked struggling, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.

Although several people were a little confused, they all stopped and waited for Xu Cheng's follow-up. Only Bai Ze's eyes lit up. He knew Xu Cheng very well. Since Xu Cheng reacted like this, then this matter might still be solved. Something has changed.

After a long while, Xu Cheng seemed to have finally made a difficult decision. The majestic pressure of a saint suddenly erupted from his body, and his whole person took on a new look.

"Everyone, I may have a way to help you enter the stone house, or even cross this sea of ​​formations."
