Volume 6: The Mighty Starry Sky Chapter 793 Can’t Find!
The reason why Li Xuanfeng did not break the formation by force, but instead used the method of finding the weak points of the formation to break it, was that he wanted to use this to improve his attainments in formation.
If one could reach an extremely high level of attainment in formations, one would be able to break formations of higher levels with one's current level of cultivation.
Li Xuanfeng began to refine some small array-based jade slips to test the operation of the array and find the weak points of the array to break them.
Although Li Xuanfeng had not spent too much time studying formations before, his attainments in formations were not weak. He was now able to quickly find the weak points of the formations in the early stage of the Earth Profound Realm and break them.
However, as the power of the formation being broken became stronger and reached the middle stage of the Earth Profound Realm, Li Xuanfeng's speed of breaking the formation slowed down a lot, and he needed to carefully test and consider before taking action to break it.
After breaking several formations, Li Xuanfeng discovered that the layout of this mountain seemed to be very different from that of the Alchemy Palace and the Magic Weapon Tower. No rewards appeared after breaking the formations here.
At first, Li Xuanfeng thought that because there were so many formations here, perhaps rewards were not prepared for each formation, and rewards would only appear after breaking through to a certain level.
But afterwards, Li Xuanfeng broke through ten formations and had risen dozens of feet in the mountain, but there was still no reward.
Li Xuanfeng shook his head and smiled slightly, not paying much attention to this matter. Two guesses had already emerged in his mind.
Perhaps there is no substantial reward here. The reward is that those who come here can use the formation here to improve their attainments in formation.
Or you may need to break through the formation at the top of the mountain to get the final reward.
Thinking of this, Li Xuanfeng's mind completely calmed down, and he concentrated on studying the formation of this mountain, looking for the best way to break it.
When breaking the formation at the foot of the mountain , Li Xuanfeng's speed was still very good, but as he went higher, the power of the formation continued to increase, and his speed gradually slowed down.
Li Xuanfeng has discovered that although there are a large number of formations covering this mountain, most of them are attack formations and binding formations, and other types of formations are relatively rare.
However, various types of formations are interconnected. As long as you can improve your attainments in formations, you will be able to arrange other types of formations with ease.
As Li Xuanfeng continued to break the formation, time passed rapidly, and his attainments in formation were also improving at an extremely astonishing speed.
Only half a month had passed, and Li Xuanfeng's attainments in formations had far surpassed what they had before. There were probably very few cultivators of the same level who could compare with him.
At this time, Li Xuanfeng was in front of a formation and threw a jade slip emitting crystal light into the formation.
Suddenly, three rays of spiritual energy with extremely astonishing aura appeared in the formation and suddenly bombarded the jade slip!
It can be clearly sensed that the power of these three rays of spiritual energy has reached the middle stage of the Earth Profound Realm, and is even approaching the late stage of the Earth Profound Realm!
When Li Xuanfeng threw out the jade slip, he raised his hand, made a gesture and pointed at the jade slip. Suddenly, a tiny protective light curtain appeared on the jade slip, blocking the spiritual energy beam bombarding from the formation.
Although this protective light curtain was only one inch in size and just covered the jade slip, it was extremely tough and was not broken by the three spiritual power rays.
While the spiritual energy was being gathered within the formation to attack, Li Xuanfeng used all his strength to release his spiritual sense to sense the movement of the formation.
Then Li Xuanfeng raised his hand, and the jade slip immediately flew out of the formation and returned to his hand.
While taking back the jade slip, Li Xuanfeng took a step forward and instantly entered the formation!
Just as the three rays of spiritual power in the formation gathered again and rushed towards Li Xuanfeng at a high speed, Li Xuanfeng raised his hand and slapped a spot on the left side of the bottom of the formation!
Just as Li Xuanfeng slapped down with his palm, the three rays of spiritual power that were approaching him suddenly stagnated and instantly collapsed and dissipated into spiritual power.
As the three rays of spiritual energy dissipated, the formation gradually collapsed and completely dissipated in an instant.
The formation that Li Xuanfeng broke at this time was the last formation of the middle stage of the Earth Profound Realm on this mountain. Above it was the formation of the late stage of the Earth Profound Realm.
After this period of time of breaking formations, Li Xuanfeng's attainments in formations improved by leaps and bounds. Li Xuanfeng can already instantly find the weak points of the formations in the middle stage of the Earth Profound Realm and break them with great ease.
Afterwards, Li Xuanfeng did not continue to move forward immediately. Instead, he used his spiritual power to float the jade slip in front of him. He quickly made hand gestures with both hands, condensing a series of formation marks and injecting them into the jade slip.
As Li Xuanfeng's understanding of the formation became deeper and deeper, he was able to condense the formation mark very easily and create a small portable formation using only a jade slip.
Li Xuanfeng is now using this formation jade slip to test the fluctuations in the formation operation here, and find the weak points of the formation to break it.
At this time, he would enter the mark of the formation that he had comprehended into the jade slip, so that the power of this formation jade slip would be enhanced again.
What he will face next will be a formation with the power of the late Earth Profound Realm or even the perfect Earth Profound Realm. If he does not strengthen this formation jade slip, it is likely that this jade slip will be easily damaged in the bombardment of the formation with astonishing power.
It was not until half an hour later that Li Xuanfeng integrated all the formation marks he had understood into the formation jade slip, then he looked up and continued to move forward.
However, the sophistication of the formation in the late stage of the Earth Profound Realm has already surpassed that of the formation in the middle stage of the Earth Profound Realm. At this time, Li Xuanfeng's speed in breaking the formation suddenly dropped greatly again.
But Li Xuanfeng was not in a hurry at all. He was still studying these formations and improving his attainments in formations.
Although the formation is only an auxiliary tool for cultivators, it can still unleash incredibly amazing power. If one possesses extremely high attainments in formations, one can also unleash extremely powerful combat power.
Li Xuanfeng had seen records in the collection of the Five Elements Venerable that there was once a cultivator whose attainments in formations had reached the pinnacle level. He was able to fight against three third-level masters at the same time by controlling the formation he had set up!
Although formation masters need to set up formations in advance in order to fully exert their ability to control formations, the small formations they carry with them can also exert extremely powerful power, making it impossible for ordinary cultivators to get close to them.
While Li Xuanfeng was spending a lot of time studying the formation of this formation mountain, the cultivators in the outside world already had different thoughts.
Now a month has passed, and there is still no sound from the cave that Li Xuanfeng entered. The middle-aged man and Taoist Qiu who were waiting outside the projection formation couldn't help but wonder whether Li Xuanfeng had left or had an accident.
The second-level cultivators behind the two men couldn't help but think that Li Xuanfeng had died in the cave, but they didn't dare say it out loud, for fear of being slapped to death by the middle-aged man and Taoist Qiu.
Taoist Qiu said gloomily, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, this kid has been in this cave for a month, but there has been no news of him. Could he have died in there?"
The middle-aged man also shook his head in confusion, indicating that he didn't know. After pondering for a while, he used his own method of deduction, constantly calculating with his fingers, intending to know Li Xuanfeng's current condition.
But no matter how he calculated, there seemed to be a fog blocking the way ahead, making it impossible for him to calculate whether Li Xuanfeng was dead or alive, let alone where Li Xuanfeng was.
He even increased the intensity of his deduction because he could not figure it out. Beads of sweat broke out on the middle-aged man's forehead. Finally, he spat out a mouthful of blood. He hurriedly stopped the deduction and suppressed the backlash in his body.
After calming down his breath, the middle-aged man said with an extremely ugly expression: "It seems that a mysterious force has blocked the deduction of this kid. I have even suffered a backlash. It may be that the secret of heaven is blocked in this cave!"
Having witnessed the whole process of the middle-aged man's deduction, Taoist Qiu naturally believed what he said, and his expression suddenly became even uglier.
Although they saw Li Xuanfeng enter the cave with their own eyes, they did not know how dangerous it was inside, and they did not know whether Li Xuanfeng left through this cave entrance.
Now that they are unable to deduce, they will be in a very passive position. If Li Xuanfeng has been killed by the danger in the cave, their waiting here will be in vain.
Taoist Qiu thought for a moment with a gloomy expression, and then said coldly: "Let's wait patiently for a while. Fellow Daoist Zhang, you can deduce from time to time. Don't put too much effort. If this kid leaves this cave, I believe it will be easy to deduce."
"Good idea!" The middle-aged man nodded slightly, then fell silent again, closing his eyes and quietly absorbing spiritual power to maintain the space barrier.
Outside the ancient wasteland, the four third-level masters of the Huadan Sect have gathered in the Huadan Sect again.
They have already traveled through most areas of Hongyuan Star, and even searched all the small forces in Hongyuan Star. Only four dangerous places and the interiors of the other four major forces have not been entered.
Even if it was a medium-sized force that was affiliated with the other four major forces, Liu Chen and his companions entered and searched for it under the pretext of searching for missing elders and disciples.
After hearing that the four of them had obtained nothing, Liu Chen's expression suddenly became extremely gloomy. He did not expect that the four third-level powerhouses had searched without finding any trace of Li Xuanfeng and others.
At this time, one of the great elders said in a deep voice: "It is very likely that they were captured by one of the other four major forces and hid within the force, so we can't find them at all."
Another elder shook his head and sighed, "Even if we have such suspicions, we are completely helpless. We cannot enter the other four major forces to search. Otherwise, if a conflict is caused, it will be difficult to resolve, and may even lead to a war between the forces!"
After hearing this, several elders nodded in agreement, knowing that it would be almost impossible to enter the other four major forces to search.
Just thinking of this, several people frowned, their eyes full of gloom. Could it be that several elders and disciples of the sect were just going to disappear like this?
