Chapter 5650
Before them stood bare mountain peaks, dotted with towering stone pillars
that reached towards the sky, forming a stone forest.
Though the exact number of pillars was unknown, there were certainly tens of thousands.
“Is this the entrance to the Tianmen Mountain ruins?” Kai asked.
Liu Xue shook her head. “We need to get through this stone forest to the center. I’ve tried with others, but we simply can’t reach the middle.”
Kai released his divine sense, trying to see what the stone forest looked like.
Unfortunately, his divine sense seemed to be blocked, and he couldn’t see the entire stone forest.
“It seems this stone forest is a magic formation; we need to break it to get to the center. Let’s try.”
With that, Kai led Liu Xue into the stone forest.
As soon as they entered, the air around them felt heavy, as if an invisible force was quietly surging within.
The stone pillars in the forest were of various shapes, some as thick as giant trees, others as slender as bamboo poles, their surfaces covered with mysterious and ancient runes, emitting a cold, eerie light.
Kai took a deep breath and began to carefully observe his surroundings, relying on his keen perception of formations.
He quickly discovered that the arrangement of these stone pillars was not random, but followed a specific pattern.
He closed his eyes, and the patterns of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, and the Eight Trigrams, appeared in his mind, corroborating the layout of the stone forest before him.
“Alliance Leader Liu, this stone forest is indeed a large-scale magic formation, and extremely complex at that, but I am confident in breaking it,”
Kai said confidently, opening his eyes.
A hint of surprise flashed in Liu Xue’s eyes. She followed closely behind Kai, carefully observing her surroundings, afraid of accidentally triggering any traps.
As Kai walked, he silently calculated the changes in orientation and runes in his mind.
He discovered that every time he walked a certain distance, the runes on the stone pillars would undergo subtle changes, and these changes were the key to breaking the magic formation.
“According to the order of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, we should first find the stone pillar corresponding to the ‘Jia’ position.”
As Kai spoke, he searched for his target within the stone forest.
Finally, he stopped before a thick stone pillar. The runes on the pillar shimmered with an eerie light, subtly resonating with the aura of the “Jia” rank.
Kai reached out and touched the runes on the pillar. Instantly, a powerful force surged into his body, and images flashed through his mind, as if he were engaging in some kind of mysterious communication with this ancient magic array.
After a moment, he opened his eyes, a look of joy on his face.
“Found it! This stone pillar is the starting point for breaking the magic array,”
Kai said, his hands rapidly forming hand seals while he chanted incantations.
With his movements, the runes on the pillar began to flash even more intensely, beams of light shooting out from them, intertwining to form a massive light curtain.
Kai, pulling Liu Xue along, stepped into the light curtain without hesitation.
Instantly, they only felt a flash of light before their eyes, and the surrounding scenery underwent a dramatic transformation.
The once intricate stone forest seemed to have been rearranged by an invisible force, revealing a clear passage before them.
“Looks like we’re on the right track. Let’s keep going,”
Kai said, leading Liu Xue along the passage.
Along the way, they encountered many similar stone pillars, each representing a different location and rune variation.
Relying on his profound knowledge of formations, Kai accurately found the solutions time and again, successfully overcoming each challenge.
As they ventured deeper, the aura within the stone forest became increasingly mysterious and powerful.
“Young Master Chen, your formations are amazing! I never knew you were such a multi-talented individual,” Liu Xue exclaimed, looking at Kai with admiration.
“Just a piece of cake!” Kai smiled.
It’s worth noting that he had received personal instruction from the Divine Pattern Ancestor and the Formation Demon.
