As the Universe Turns - Chapter 229
Chapter 229 Xu Rulin
The crowd gradually quieted down, and Hua Weiyang’s heart gradually relaxed. However, in the next moment, before she could completely calm down, Xiao Chen leapt up and flew towards the tenth level of Soaring Cloud Island.
“Him!”
Many people were shocked again. He had just consumed so much energy down there. Wasn’t he planning on rehabilitating Genuine energy and going up again? Even if the Sect Master had only given him three days, would he have to charge forward so quickly?
This time, even Chu Tianqing couldn’t help but frown slightly. Ling Luan’s heart was even more hanging in her throat. It was truly a wave after wave of unrest.
However, the tenth trial was not difficult. Xiao Chen forcefully broke through this restriction with his palm power, but the eleventh trial was difficult.
Just now, the second level was the Wind Formation, “Swift as the Wind.” The eleventh level was the Forest Formation, “Xu Rulin.” The twentieth level was the Fire Formation, “Invading as the Fire.” The last level was the “Immovable as a Mountain” condensed by the Four Elders.
At this moment, countless giant trees suddenly rose up from the eleventh layer of Cloudsoaring Island. They seemed to be in a complete mess, but in reality, there were formations within the formation, and the formation was changing in all directions!
Although Xu Rulin didn’t attack the cultivators at this level, if he didn’t break the formation, he wouldn’t be able to reach the twelfth level. As a result, many Heavenly Spirit Sect disciples had stayed at this level in the past and couldn’t go up.
To break through this formation, just relying on one’s strength was not enough. No matter how deep one’s strength was, even if one had 500 years of cultivation, they would not be able to break through it forcefully.
“Shit …”
Seeing that Lin Formation was so powerful, Hua Weiyang couldn’t help but sweat. She had known Xiao Chen for so long, so she naturally understood Xiao Chen’s temperament. Even if she didn’t want to bother with anything, she had to rely on all her strength to charge forward. That was why she had been plotted against in the Black Azure Sect.
And now, this Xu Rulin Formation had an array within it. How could it be forcefully broken through with just a single wave of strength? If she was on it, it would be fine, but now that she wasn’t here, how could a fool break this formation by himself?
Xiao Chen felt dazzled when he saw that the location of the towering trees was changing faster and faster. Even if he had the ability, it would be difficult for him to display it at this moment.
Time passed bit by bit, and an incense stick of time unknowingly passed. Xiao Chen was still in the formation, not moving at all. He closed his eyes, as if he had nothing to do.
The discussions among the crowd below gradually grew louder and louder. As Ling Luan stood beside her mother, her face became more and more nervous. Although she had never been to the eleventh level, when she saw the people in the sect break through the array, they would often end in failure. Now, could Wu Chen break through the array?
Unknowingly, another incense stick of time passed. Xiao Chen was still standing there, motionless. He didn’t even open his eyes. However, the formation was changing faster and faster. Gradually, it seemed as if it was going to swallow him up.
“What should we do … Wu Chen, hurry up!”
Ling Luan was already so anxious that she stomped her feet, as if she was more anxious than anyone else. Although this Xu Rulin Formation did not have any offensive power, it was not like the other formations. If she did not break the formation, it would no longer be able to be broken in at most an hour, and the final result would be failure.
“Why hasn’t he acted yet?”
A lot of people in the crowd were also beginning to wonder. Could it be that he wanted to cope with all changes without changing at this moment? This was absolutely impossible. At most, there was still half an incense stick of time left. If he didn’t think of a way to break the formation, he would only fail in the end.
Just as the crowd was discussing, Xiao Chen finally opened his eyes. At this moment, there seemed to be two strange lights flashing through his pupils. That was his divine sense!
In the past half an hour, he was not helpless. Instead, he was using his divine sense to probe the trajectory of each tree and leave behind a divine sense imprint on it.
The reason why Xu Rulin’s formation was difficult to break was precisely because every tree was a formation. It could be said to be extremely changeable, and divine ghosts could not be detected.
In the past, when Chu Yue’er, Chu Yi Ying, and the others wanted to break through this formation, If they stood still and pondered slowly, the formation would be completely sealed in at most an hour. Therefore, they could only break through the formation while looking for a formation. This would slowly delay time. Therefore, it would often take them a day or more to break the formation. However, Xiao Chen did not have that long to slowly use it.
If he wanted to break through this formation in a short period of time, not only would he need to accurately leave a divine sense mark on each formation, he would also need to remember the location and trajectory of each formation. Even if he was wrong, all of his previous efforts would be wasted. The dangers involved and the consumption of primordial divine spiritual energy were far beyond the imagination of the people below.
At this moment, the dense shadows of the trees on the island finally overlapped, changing faster and faster. However, none of this escaped Xiao Chen’s divine sense and magic eyes.
He formed a seal with both his hands and two rays of divine sense light shot out from his pupils. Almost at this moment, the divine sense imprint on every tree on the island instantly sensed him and emitted a faint light.
“This … this is him!”
When they saw the divine sense imprints on each tree, the faces of the people below immediately changed. All of them revealed astonished gazes. They were all cultivators, so they naturally knew what was happening in front of them. In the past two hours, this person had actually left a divine sense imprint on every formation! How on earth did he do it!
At this moment, Chu Tianqing couldn’t help but reveal a slightly surprised expression. This child’s performance today was truly beyond his expectations. He was able to accurately leave a divine sense imprint on every formation and remember the trajectory of each formation. Just how powerful was this person’s divine soul? Could it be an undying divine soul from his previous life?
In the distance, Chu Yue’er, Chu Yi Ying, and the others finally revealed expressions of shock. Before this, they thought that this person was not much stronger than them, but now, they did not think so.
In such a short period of time, this person was actually able to leave a divine sense imprint on every formation. Just how did he do it? Was this really something a person with a cultivation that had yet to reach the Void Refining and Dao Harmonization Realm could accomplish?
“Wuchen … Wuchen!”
Just as everyone was still in shock, Ling Luan suddenly jumped up, as if he wished he could jump up as well. His face was extremely anxious, and he kept shouting, “Liao Wuchen! Break the formation! There’s no time left!”
Hearing her shout, everyone suddenly realized that Xu Rulin’s formation was about to be completely sealed. This person had just wasted too much time in order to leave a divine sense mark on each formation and missed the best time to break the formation.
Now that the grand formation was about to be sealed, so what if he had already left a divine sense imprint on each formation?
How could he break the formation by himself?
Could it be that he could instantly transform into thousands of avatars?
Seeing that Xu Rulin’s formation was gradually approaching and was about to be completely sealed, Hua Weiyang’s palm was also covered in sweat. He thought to himself, “Lingyun Trial … idiot, you can only rely on yourself this time. However, even if you fail the 27th Lingyun Trial, I will definitely find a way to obtain the seed of evergreen flowers for you … at all costs.”
