Chapter 282: Breaking the Formation! Entering the Inner Part of the Secret Realm!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the chaos, everyone was busy protecting themselves and had no time to care about other things. Even when the formation spirit completely disappeared, it did not attract anyone’s attention.
Taking this opportunity, Gu Xi took the blue bead that the formation spirit had turned into.
[Ding! Detected the Perfect Lightning Spirit Pearl!]
[After consuming the Lightning Spirit Pearl, one’s own spiritual power will carry the lightning attribute!]
The System notification sounded in his mind.
!!
“Lightning attribute, huh…”
Hearing this, Gu Xi’s eyes could not help but light up.
However, now was obviously not the time to consume the Lightning Spirit Pearl. The most important thing now was to completely destroy the formation. Entering the Secret Realm was the most important thing.
After putting away the Lightning Spirit Pearl, Gu Xi rushed towards the stone door, trying to ignore the pressure from the dense falling lightning.
With his current Saint stage, it would not be a problem for him to withstand the falling lightning for a while. However, if this array formation was in its peak condition, with Gu Xi’s estimation, let alone a mere Saint stage cultivator, even a Great Saint or even a Supreme Saint stage cultivator would have to retreat a little!
Fortunately, this formation had been worn down for countless years. This gave Gu Xi the chance to get close to the core of the formation.
Arriving in front of the stone door, Gu Xi slapped the top of the door without hesitation.
Crack —
Following an inconspicuous and clear sound, a tiny crack appeared.
Immediately after, the crack spread at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, it covered the entire stone door. Then, the huge stone door collapsed with a loud bang.
In the next moment, the formation stopped operating and all the lightning dissipated.
In just a few breaths, the dark clouds receded and the sky became clear again.
Other than the mess before their eyes, everything returned to normal.
Everyone was stunned and looked around in confusion.
“Look, it’s that guy from the Medicine King Valley!”
It was unknown who cried out, but everyone’s gazes fell on Gu Xi who was standing at the stone door.
“Is it finally… over…”
“This formation is simply too terrifying. If it wasn’t for the spirit tool that the sect elders gave me, I’m afraid that I wouldn’t have been able to escape this calamity…”
The danger had vanished into thin air as everyone sighed with emotion after having survived the calamity.
However, as far as the eye could see, only less than half of the thousands of people who had stepped into the array formation were left!
Everyone else had died here!
Thousands of lives had been lost!
One had to know that they were all people who were known as the Proud Sons of Heaven!
Losing so many participants in one go, and this was something that had never happened since the beginning of the Spirit-chasing Competition!
“This guy… how did he break the array formation?” Not far away, Su Lian mumbled while taking care of the injured Qing Xue.
Although she did not really participate in the team that broke the array formation, she knew very well that no one had helped Gu Xi just now.
In other words, Gu Xi had successfully broken the array formation on his own!
Could it be that this guy’s attainments in the field of formations were also so high?
Su Lian quickly denied her own thoughts. She had never seen such an all-rounded genius ever since she was young, and she had never even heard of him.
As a cultivator, it was already extremely rare for him to have a decent talent in a single field and achieve some results. In Su Lian’s opinion, Gu Xi was very talented in cultivation. If he also had a similar talent in array formations, then he should not be called a genius.
He was a freak! A real freak!
“I’ve told you before that this person isn’t simple. It’s best that we don’t provoke him,” Qing Xue, who was at the side, instructed softly.
At this moment, her face had already recovered some of its ruddy color. Although she had fought with the formation spirit for a while and suffered some injuries, her foundation was not injured. Most of them were superficial injuries.
“I know, I know. You’re already injured, yet you’re still talking to me.” Su Lian pouted, but her gaze still drifted to Gu Xi from time to time.
On the other side, Wang Zhan’s expression was as ugly as if he had eaten sh*t.
Originally, he had wanted to force Gu Xi to waste some of his spiritual energy here or even make a fool of himself in front of everyone. However, he had never thought that Gu Xi would gain the limelight.
Although he was prejudiced against this, he was tactful and did not mock him.
He knew that Gu Xi had contributed a lot to this matter. If he provoked him now, he would offend almost everyone here!
At this moment, Gu Xi was receiving the gratitude of the contestants who survived. After all, without his help, all of them would have died here.
To put it bluntly, Gu Xi was their savior at this moment!
Gu Xi only nodded perfunctorily in response to their thanks. He did not want to have too much interaction with these people. In his eyes, these people were just lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
Now, his points were completely empty. If he wanted to win the championship before the end of the competition, he had to ‘borrow’ from these people.
If he had too good a relationship with these people, it would be difficult for him to do what was necessary!
Just like his current relationship with the Liuli Sect… Although he could not be considered an enemy, let alone a friend, if Gu Xi made a move against them, he would probably feel a little bad.
“Everyone, now that the array has been broken, please feel free to do what you want.”
Unable to stand the enthusiasm of the crowd, Gu Xi cupped his hands and left the crowd, returning to the group of Su Lian and the others.
Although the problem with the ancient array formation had been resolved, everyone had learned their lesson this time. They did not rush in as eagerly as before.
After all, the lessons learned from the past were laid out here.
All the sects simultaneously began to recover from the exhaustion from the previous battle, ready to deal with the next battle at any time. There were even some sects who felt that they were not strong enough and quietly withdrew. They did not participate in this Secret Realm anymore.
After all, even the array formation at the entrance was so abnormal. There might be something even more abnormal waiting for them inside.
It was not worth it to sacrifice everyone inside for a Secret Realm!
Su Lian and the others were also not in a hurry to enter the Secret Realm. Instead, they were quietly waiting for Qing Xue to recover from her injuries and exhaustion.
Su Lian was clear that if Qing Xue was unable to recover to her peak condition, she would not be able to protect her Junior Sisters even if she entered the Secret Realm.
As for Gu Xi, although the two of them were cooperating now, she did not place her hopes on him.
“Eat this. It will help you recover faster.”
Gu Xi also pretended to be recovering from exhaustion. After which, he took out a jade bottle and handed it to Qing Xue.
Qing Xue hesitated for a moment, then took the jade bottle and took out the pills.
