Chapter 171 Yan Xing Bi Luo Formation
Chapter 171 Yan Xing Bi Luo Formation
… …
“Found it! Finally found it!” Suddenly, a joyful voice came from a distance.
Upon hearing this, everyone's spirits lifted, and they quickly looked in the direction of the sound.
Qin Shou trotted over to Wang Fugui'er and excitedly asked, “Fugui'er, are you sure you found it?!”
The others also gathered around, their eyes gleaming with excitement.
What did finding the ruins mean? It meant a huge fortune!
These ruins had existed for tens of thousands of years, and even the formations within were extremely precious treasures.
The items hidden within the ruins were even more immeasurable, beyond imagination.
Everyone secretly rejoiced: This time, we've really struck it rich!
We're rich… we're rich!
They seemed to see countless rare treasures and precious cultivation methods waving at them.
“Let me see!” Ye Xiu, who had been slacking off, squeezed forward.
Seeing that it was Holy Maiden Ye, everyone politely made way for her.
Ye Xiu focused her gaze and saw a two-meter-wide pit leading straight down. The pit was dimly lit, but not deep. With ordinary eyes, one couldn't see anything significant.
Immediately, Ye Xiu released her divine sense to probe the pit, but her divine sense suddenly disappeared.
The others also used their divine sense to investigate, and the results were the same: their divine sense vanished inexplicably!
Clearly, they must have encountered a restriction on the formation, which severed and absorbed it.
“So it was here. No wonder we couldn't find it all this time,” Qin Shou sighed.
As expected of lost ruins, the location was actually in a pit. This location was indeed unexpected.
This place was already remote, but who would have thought that the ruins would be hidden in an even more remote pit? You wouldn't discover it unless you fell in.
Having discovered the location of the ruins, everyone quickly entered the pit. It was narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. An ancient and simple gate stood on the upper slope of the pit's inner wall.
“Is this the entrance to the ruins?” Bu Shensuan couldn't help but ask.
“That's right, this is the appearance of the ruins recorded by my ancestors. It's this,” Qin Shou said excitedly.
“Strange, why would the ruins be in such a small pit?” Qin Shou wondered to himself.
According to the records of the Qin family ancestors, the ruins were located at the bottom of a lake. There were no living creatures in the lake. The Qin family ancestors discovered the anomaly and ventured into the lake, which led to the discovery of these lost ruins.
Even after ten thousand years, even if the lake dried up and the large lake collapsed, the ruins shouldn't have ended up on the slanting wall.
Qin Shou couldn't figure it out, but he chose to hide it and didn't tell everyone.
Ni Yue stepped forward, pulled out several formation flags, and began to carefully study this strange gate.
But before the formation flags touched the gate, they turned to ashes and fell to the ground.
Ni Yue: “……”
“Annihilation Restriction!” Bu Shensuan said with disbelief.
“Annihilation Restriction? What's that?” Wang Fugui'er asked, not understanding.
Bu Shensuan gave Wang Fugui'er a speechless look and explained indifferently, “Annihilation Restriction, just like the literal meaning, can annihilate all energy, and is extremely difficult to break.”
“So our divine sense was annihilated by this thing!” Qu You'er complained with a dejected expression.
“Fellow Daoist Bu, can this restriction be broken?” Qin Shou looked anxiously at Bu Shensuan.
Bu Shensuan shook his head and sighed, “Insoluble. At least, this thing is insoluble for us.”
Annihilation Restriction, let alone them, even if a Saint-level restriction master came, they would have to die on the spot.
“What can we do!” Qin Shou lamented, looking up to the sky.
He had planned for more than ten years, and finally found a group of people, reducing his own share to ten percent. In the end, it was all for nothing!
“Alas!”
…
Everyone sighed in unison.
Encountering the Annihilation Restriction, this trip to the ruins seemed to be a failure.
Everyone felt disappointed.
They had spent a lot of time and energy to get here, but could only face this insurmountable obstacle.
Expressions of pain and helplessness appeared on everyone's faces, as if all hope had been shattered.
However, at this moment, a clear and firm voice suddenly rang out: “That's not right!”
Everyone turned their heads and saw Ye Duxiu, with her peerless beauty, standing there. Her eyes sparkled with an unusual light.
“Holy Maiden Ye, what's not right?” Qin Shou raised his head in confusion, looking at the Holy Maiden.
“This is not a restriction!” Ye Duxiu said simply and clearly.
Her tone was calm and firm, inspiring awe.
“Holy Maiden Ye, although you are a Holy Maiden of a sect, this restriction… I, Bu, would not be mistaken,” Bu Shensuan looked at Ye Duxiu unhappily. He was confident in his judgment, believing that Ye Duxiu might be deliberately provoking his authority.
Ye Duxiu smiled slightly, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes. She didn't care about other people's doubts, because she was absolutely certain in her heart.
“Holy Maiden Ye, since you say this is not a restriction, then what is it?” Ni Yue surprisingly asked.
Unlike the destined stepping stone Bu Suanzi, Ni Yue, as the female lead with luck on Ye Xiu's path to rise, had a natural trust in Ye Xiu.
Under the influence of the unseen luck, Ni Yue still had the same choice as in the original trajectory: to hide Ye Xiu's identity.
“Sister Ye, don't keep us in suspense, tell us quickly!” Qu You'er cried out sweetly with her kawaii big eyes.
Qu You'er was a top-notch face-con, and she liked all beautiful beings with perfect looks.
“Look, this power of annihilation is indeed composed of powerful magic power, but it is not a pure restriction,” Ye Duxiu explained.
“This formation is called the Yanxing Biluo Formation, which is a super complex grand formation that can evolve the power of annihilation, invisibly absorbing the power of those who try to break the formation, using external force to strengthen itself, and using softness to overcome hardness.”
Hearing Ye Duxiu's explanation, Ni Yue stepped forward again to observe carefully, and indeed discovered the subtleties of the power of annihilation.
This power did not belong to a restriction, but a formation, an ancient formation she had never seen before.
But even if it was transformed from an ancient grand formation, she had never seen it and couldn't think of a way to break it.
“Using a formation to simulate the power of a restriction, such a clever design requires extremely high attainments in formations to set up,” Ye Xiu praised without reservation.
Upon hearing this, everyone was amazed.
They originally thought this was just a simple Annihilation Restriction, but they didn't expect it to be so complex.
But at the same time, some people raised questions, “Even if it is a formation, so what? We still can't break it.”
Ye Duxiu's lips curled into a confident smile, and she gently shook her head: “This Yanxing Biluo Formation has continued to this day, and has weakened countless times.
As long as we can find the weak point of the formation, breaking it will be a matter of course.”
“Humph!” Bu Shensuan snorted coldly, his face full of anger and ridicule, “Even if you see that this is some ‘Yanxing Biluo Formation,’ so what? Isn't it still impossible to break?
Finding the weak point of the formation? If I could find the weak point of the formation, I could do it too!”
Ye Xiu ignored Bu Shensuan's words. She quietly watched Ni Yue break the formation.
With just a weakened Yanxing Biluo Formation, she had at least dozens of ways to break it.
When Ni Yue returned empty-handed and everyone was helpless, she would step forward to break the formation, so that she could invisibly increase her say in the team.
“Alright, don't delay, let me do it!” At this time, Shen Gongbao (Ao Yuan), who had been standing at the back of the team, came out.
Amidst everyone's doubts, a ball of light blue flames rose from Ao Yuan's hand!
“Qianlan Ice Flame!” Ye Xiu's pupils shrank.
Heavenly Flame, who would have thought that this old six actually had a Heavenly Flame.
But soon, Ye Xiu noticed the difference in Shen Gongbao's flame, “That's not right! This is not pure Qianlan Ice Flame, but a Qianlan Ice Flame Sub-fire.”
Although Qianlan Ice Flame Sub-fire was not as powerful as the real Qianlan Ice Flame, it was enough to shock people.
“Qianlan Ice Flame! Fellow Daoist Shen, I didn't expect you to have such a flame in your hand.” Long Aotian next to him exclaimed subconsciously.
As the famous Qianlan Ice Flame on the Heavenly Flame List, any cultivator with a little background in the family would have heard of it.
Ao Yuan shook his head, and said modestly: “Fellow Daoist Long praised me wrongly, how can a cultivator like me possess the Qianlan Ice Flame? This flame is actually just a Sub-fire.
Fortunately, the elders in my family dote on me and spent a lot of money to buy a branch from a senior, and gave it to me to use.”
Hearing this, Long Aotian nodded suddenly, and said with a smile: “So it's a Sub-fire, I was really blind, haha…”
Indeed, if it was the real Qianlan Ice Flame, with Ao Yuan's current cultivation realm, it would be impossible to refine it.
After all, the Qianlan Ice Flame can burn Saint Qi. Even a junior who has cut the Dao, even if his family is rich, it is difficult to control such a powerful flame.
And this Qianlan Ice Flame Sub-fire is relatively gentle and more suitable for cultivators at his stage to use.
“Fairy Ni, step back, let me break this formation!” Ao Yuan reminded.
Ni Yue nodded and quickly retreated to the side, not daring to approach.
Ye Xiu was a little angry, but also retreated to the side with Ni Yue.
Qianlan Ice Flame has the powerful power to burn Saint Qi, and its Sub-fire can easily destroy the formation.
With Qianlan Ice Flame Sub-fire, the Yanxing Biluo Formation is nothing!
