Chapter 331: Chapter 288: Time Divine Artifact?_1
“Find a way?” Ao Jiugai pondered, “So many people are attracted to that mysterious formation, I’m afraid it’s impossible to lead them away.”
Ao Jiugai also realized the safety issue. If the cave dwelling within these rocks were to appear, it could probably cause anomalies due to being sealed for many years. By then, it would be impossible to conceal it from the Heaven Gods and True Gods a hundred miles away.
“How about you fully understand this formation before we proceed? By that time, those people might have already left,” Ao Jiugai added.
Li Cheng glanced at Ao Jiugai, “When I said ‘find a way,’ I naturally didn’t mean to lead those people away, but to set up a formation to hide this place, to prevent anyone from barging in.”
So many people, coming from various forces, all trying to break the formation – to think of leading them all away was impossible.
Therefore, the only solution was to set up a formation in the cave right before them to prevent the aura here from leaking out and being detected by those people.
The most suitable for hiding and protection was naturally the Hidden Spirit Array, which had to be followed up with additional measures, setting up an offensive formation, and none were better suited than the Three Thousand Deadly Array.
“As for setting up the formation, I have some understanding, but in my current state, I can’t even set up a first-level Divine Array,” Ao Jiugai mused.
He had seen Li Cheng’s artifact refining and alchemy. Having mastered both, it was indeed very astonishing.
That’s exactly why Ao Jiugai had never considered that Li Cheng might also be skilled in formations.
Li Cheng had already taken out the Array Plate, activating the Hidden Spirit Array, connecting it tightly with the original formation of the place. With this, even True Gods wouldn’t discover the anomaly behind the waterfall.
Watching the formation activate, Ao Jiugai nodded in surprise, “Although this second-level Divine Array is carried by the Array Plate, the technique is extremely clever. It can withstand ordinary True Gods!”
Li Cheng ignored him, taking out three thousand mid-grade Divine Artifact level longswords and started to imprint one Array Pattern after another.
“Hm?” A look of surprise gradually turned to shock on Ao Jiugai’s face.
The Three Thousand Deadly Array, with the addition of three thousand low-grade Divine Artifacts, could reach the level of a top third-level Divine Array.
Now that mid-grade Divine Artifacts were being added, Li Cheng himself didn’t know just how powerful it would turn out to be.
It took two whole days to finish setting up the Three Thousand Deadly Array.
The moment the formation was activated, a powerful intention to kill emerged within it. Li Cheng sensed it for a while and found that it had not become a fourth-level formation due to the use of mid-grade Divine Artifacts; it was still considered a top third-level formation. However, its might was probably not weaker than that of ordinary fourth-level formations.
Over these two days, Ao Jiugai had become accustomed to astonishment; he secretly heaved a sigh of relief, feeling fortunate that he had claimed only a modest understanding of formations, rather than professing to be an expert.
In front of Li Cheng’s mastery in formations, Ao Jiugai knew that he indeed had only a modest understanding.
Temporarily shutting down the formation, Li Cheng continued to perceive the Laws and formations within the rock.
There was no need to keep the Three Thousand Deadly Array active at all times; it could be activated if someone intruded later on.
Now with security ensured, Li Cheng began his Enlightenment, comprehending the Time Law and formations inside the rock.
Time swiftly passed by; in the span of three years, no one discovered the cave dwelling behind the waterfall. Li Cheng, undisturbed, consumed a thousand opportunities for Enlightenment and finally fully grasped the Time Law and formations inside the rock!
The perfect combination of Time Law and formation – without comprehending these Time Laws, it was impossible to fully understand the formations. But now it was complete, and he could easily break the formation at any moment.
The moment he fully grasped the formations, the scene inside the formation also appeared before Li Cheng’s eyes.
It was a manor that seemed to cover more than ten acres, with an ancient-style house built in the center. Flanking it were side buildings on both sides. Apart from the small courtyard enclosed by the three buildings, the rest of the place was all medicinal fields.
Unfortunately, perhaps due to being sealed for too long, there were no Divine Medicines in the medicinal fields; not even weeds.
“Blunt Empty Residence?”
Seeing the plaque above the manor’s gate, Li Cheng’s eyebrows immediately raised, “Could it be the Blunt Empty Venerable?”
Blunt Empty Venerable was one of the ten great oddities of the Kunlun Realm, a figure from the early days of the era, billions of years ago.
Back then, he left behind Blunt Empty City in the Misty Forest, later used by Grand Venerable Bai Jie to suppress the Ten Thousand Aspects Evil Monarch’s incarnation.
It was rumored that Blunt Empty Venerable had died.
But later, when Li Cheng was about to touch upon the Long River of Time, the Blunt Empty Venerable crossed Space-Time to stop him.
Now thinking about it, Blunt Empty Venerable had probably found the method to become a god and reached the Divine Realm without taking the Divine Path?
“Whether it is him or not, refining this manor will make it clear!”
Li Cheng regained his focus, and was about to enter the manor when he suddenly sensed something and looked outside.
Through the formation, Li Cheng clearly saw that a hundred miles away, the Time Laws on those one hundred and eight Floating Peaks had changed!
“So it’s a master coming to break the formation; is it Prince Six?”
A hundred and eight peaks away, numerous Divine Dynasty powerhouses were scattered around. Those few sects and Loose Cultivators who had arrived here three years ago had not left either, all observing from a distance.
The many Divine Dynasty powerhouses, under the command of a few Array Masters, intermittently joined forces to hit the grand formation with streams of Divine Power.
In the nearby sky, Prince Six stood with his hands behind his back, his terrifying Divine King Realm presence made the strong practitioners from various sects dare not show any disrespect. They stayed just to witness what happened after the formation was broken.
“Indeed, the power of the Divine Dynasty is formidable. That formation is about to be broken through,” Ao Jiugai said.
Li Cheng turned and glanced at Blunt Empty Residence inside the rock, and then out at the situation a hundred miles away, “I understand now!”
“What?”
Li Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, “The formation isn’t being broken by them; it’s being broken by me!”
Ao Jiugai rolled his eyes but didn’t say anything because Li Cheng’s claim was just too shameless!
