Chapter 219 Continuous Formation
After traveling quickly through the secret realm for nearly half an hour, Chu Xinglan strangely did not encounter any danger, and did not meet any disciples from the sect.
Looking at the monotonous dark red background and dry dark brown tree trunks in front of him, he slowly slowed down his pace and finally stopped.
Before, Chu Xinglan's mind was entirely focused on finding people on the road and guarding against danger. When he stopped at this moment, he felt a sense of disobedience and his brows couldn't help but frown.
But for a moment, he couldn't grasp the clue and was a little confused.
When preparing for the exchange competition, Chen Xiu showed him information about the secret realm.
Because this is a secret realm exclusive to the Shangguan family, not much information has leaked out, but Chu Xinglan clearly remembers that there is no such place in the secret realm.
In other words, this secret realm is used to train disciples, hoping that they will be more confident in reaching the Nascent Soul stage. It should be a place where crises and opportunities coexist.
Moreover, I have never heard that any of the previous heads of the Shangguan family were perverts who liked this style.
He had no doubts when he entered because he had a preconceived idea that it was the black-robed man's doing who wanted to mess with them, his disciples.
It was understandable that he had no chance. After all, the man in black robe did not bring them all here to increase the strength of the cultivation world.
But it's outrageous that there is no danger.
That's right, there's no danger.
Thinking of this, Chu Xinglan's still somewhat confused thoughts instantly became clear to him.
You know, at his speed, he could have almost passed a quarter of the secret realm in half an hour, but apart from the trees in front of him, he had not seen any living creatures.
These dark brown trees, with their bare leaves, don't look like they're still alive.
Chu Xinglan closed his eyes and spread out his spiritual sense, expanding it outward with himself as the center, exploring inch by inch.
Soon, he found something wrong. The arrangement of these trees was based on an area of about five kilometers in radius. They were copied, adjusted in position, and pasted next to each other.
Eventually, it merged into a large black forest. As for the boundary of the forest, Chu Xinglan could not detect it with his current spiritual sense strength.
Perhaps there is no boundary at all, it is like a ghost wall. The only difference is that it is difficult for the naked eye to find the similarities and thus discover the problem.
In order to achieve such an effect, the only thing Chu Xinglan could think of was the formation, which was evolving at any time.
In order to confirm his guess, he went to the nearest tree, raised his hand and punched it hard on the tree trunk.
With a bang, Chu Xinglan saw the trunk of the tree in front of him blur as a whole, and even the dark red filter let in a ray of light.
But soon, everything returned to normal.
Chu Xinglan clicked his tongue and raised his hand to touch his chin.
"There's something about this man in black robe."
He had really hit something solid just now. These trees were not imaginary. However, if they were real trees, they would have broken into pieces by now.
To be able to achieve such a realistic effect, his attainments in formation are quite impressive. He must be at least a high-level formation master.
Chu Xinglan was very interested in this aspect and had top-notch talent, so he immediately started researching it.
When he discovered the problem, a small number of people in the secret realm also noticed it.
Among them, Yi Zhen, a Buddhist disciple from Hanshan Temple, was the first to discover it, even much faster than Chu Xinglan.
On the one hand, it was because he had spent more years in cultivation than Chu Xinglan, and he often went out to gain experience, so he had more experience.
On the other hand, his skills are specifically designed to restrain sinister tricks, so he is more sensitive to these.
At this moment, he had already started to break the formation and found that this formation was a chain formation, with layers linked together, but each layer of the formation was not too difficult.
As long as you focus enough and don't make mistakes, breaking the formation is just a matter of time.
The next are Chen Xiu and Yanran, the Saint of Yuehua Palace. The three major sects do have a solid foundation. In addition to these leaders, there are also a few talented people in the sect who have discovered problems one after another.
Some people from other medium-sized sects and families also discovered the problem and began to think about ways to break the impasse, but they were ultimately a minority.
From this phenomenon, we can see that when the Shangguan family stopped participating and the Gong family fell, the family's power had fallen far behind.
Perhaps the family as a power has some shortcomings after all. Their resources are more inclined towards the children of the family, and no one can guarantee that this family will produce a genius in every generation. Those outsiders may have talent, but they will always be a step slower.
It is different for sects. When it comes to recruiting disciples, sects welcome all those who aspire to embark on the path to immortality. They select the best among them and then train them.
The only thing that is inferior to the family is probably cohesion.
Outside the secret realm, densely packed water mirrors have appeared in the air, and the pictures on them are exactly the scenes in the secret realm.
Among the water mirrors with the largest images, it was Chu Xinglan and a few others who were the first to discover the problem.
The huge square was completely silent, and the atmosphere was indescribably dull and depressing.
Different from the ridicule of the man in black robe, Sang Yunqi and others were calm, while most of the other clan leaders and family heads had very ugly expressions.
No one could have imagined that the first step into the secret realm would slap them hard in the face.
Now they are just thankful that there is no killing formation in this chain formation, and they cannot get out, and there will be no danger.
Jinmian raised his sleeves to add half a cup of tea, then leaned back in his chair with a relaxed look.
"The world of cultivation is really on the decline now."
"This formation is just an appetizer. There are flaws everywhere. It took these geniuses almost half an hour to discover the problem."
"I don't know when we can break through the formation and leave."
His words were a blatant mockery. Everyone, who were already feeling aggrieved, dared not say anything more. The whole situation was laid out before them, so they could not find any reason to refute.
Jinmian had also expected this situation. He chuckled and looked at Sang Yunqi beside him.
"What do you think, Venerable Xing Heng? Although Cang Qiong Mountain has achieved good results here, I think it still cannot meet your expectations."
He pointed at Chen Xiu in the picture and said, "I heard that this boy is Xu Zhuo's eldest disciple and has been trained as the head of the sect. After he enters the Nascent Soul stage, he will take over."
"But in my opinion, he is still too young. Your Excellency should be cautious."
Sang Yunqi glanced at him lightly and said, "You live by the sea, right? Why are you meddling in other people's business?"
Jinmian hit a snag and turned back embarrassedly.
Suddenly, a surprised voice came from below: "What is that?"
