Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2568 So Relaxed?

Qu Jianlei and the other four True Venerables were unexpectedly trapped in the great formation, and at this moment they were actually setting up a temporary formation, which seemed a bit too risky.

That's not the case. If the opponent can use this move, it's unrealistic to break through their formation in the short term. If you don't stay calm at this point, you'll just be throwing yourself into chaos.

Protecting yourself first is the right way to fight back.

Before long, the formation was completed, and the energy within the space became increasingly violent, constantly impacting the protective shield.

The consumption of spirit stones was increasing dramatically, and Qu Jianlei could not stop there. He had to step in from time to time to replenish what was missing.

The same goes for Yugiri; besides perfecting her various disguises, she also has to maintain them due to the constant impact of energy.

However, in any case, Qu Jianlei managed to free up some time to observe the great formation he was in.

After a moment's thought, he felt a little undecided. "What do you two think?"

“It has a bit of… that flavor,” Han Li replied while calculating, his expression not exactly grave, but definitely not relaxed.

He was worried that someone outside the formation might overhear, so he gave a vague answer.

However, Qu Jianlei understood immediately, "The Dead Zone? Don't worry, you can't hear it from outside."

What a joke! Even if the other party can control the great formation set up by the Great Lord, they can't possibly sneak through the formation he set up to spy on others.

“Yes,” Han Li nodded. His understanding of formations was probably not as good as Xi Wu’s, but his perception was extremely sharp.

Moreover, his understanding of various rules is quite profound. "The difference is that it is more violent here, and there is more spatial nesting."

Spatial nesting is not common and is very difficult to perceive, but he can actually sense it.

At least Yugiri was quite surprised, "You even know this, no wonder you're a potential Nascent Soul cultivator."

However, Han Li had no time to pay attention to her. "My feeling is that it is somewhat similar to the Dead Zone, but not exactly the same."

“That’s for sure,” Jin Ge muttered. “It wasn’t nearly as violent there as it is now, and people were powerless to control their own destiny.”

Indeed, although Qu Jianlei had set up the formation, everyone was still swept up by the violent energy and crashed around everywhere.

It felt like a small boat in a raging storm, completely out of control.

Fortunately, the formation's defenses were strong enough, and it was also movable, which could offset a considerable portion of the energy.

If it cannot move, it is not a small boat, but a "pillar in the middle of the stream," and the impact it can withstand is unimaginable.

“Spatial nesting,” Qu Jianlei muttered softly, then raised his hand to calculate.

After finishing his calculations, his expression turned somewhat strange. "It's not just nested, it's more like a maze."

"A spatially nested maze?" Upon hearing this, True Venerable Xiwu frowned slightly. "I'm really not very familiar with this."

She prided herself on being an expert at dealing with illusions, and her spatial perception was naturally excellent, so dealing with mazes wouldn't be a problem for her.

However, as for spatially nested mazes, I'm sorry, her understanding of spatial rules hasn't reached that level yet.

At this point, it's okay not to know, but pretending to know what you don't can harm everyone.

“A maze…” Han Li repeated softly, then asked, “Will the method used to break through the dead zone last time work?”

"I'm afraid it's impossible," Qu Jianlei shook his head and spoke seriously.

"The stability of this formation is not as good as that of the Dead Zone, but its complexity is far superior, and it is also more dangerous."

“I was lucky to get out last time,” Jin Ge said. “That time, there was a lime outside that caused karmic consequences, but there isn’t this time.”

"Don't worry about it," Han Li said dismissively. "Arrays are ultimately static; how can they compare to unexpected events?"

After a pause, he said in a deep voice, "Even the Great Lord's formation cannot escape the artifice of a craftsman!"

"I really admire you!" Jin Ge couldn't help but give a thumbs up. "You really dare to say anything!"

Trapped in the Great Lord's formation, you still dare to spout nonsense and criticize the Great Lord. Xiao Qu says you're a master of courting death, and that's absolutely true!

Han Li rolled her eyes. "Doesn't a True Lord need to learn from Heaven and Earth? If you take Heaven and Earth as your teacher, you must admit your own shortcomings!"

“I think I’ve figured it out,” Jin Ge nodded. “You still want to test whether this great lord is paying attention to this place.”

It's just a pure provocation tactic. Angering the True Lord will definitely cause a lot of trouble, but it's better than being trapped in the formation forever.

But what he was more curious about was, "Once the Great Khan arrives, which method of death do you plan to choose that will be more painless?"

"How to die?" Han Li smiled calmly. "When I attacked the palace, I was already destined to offend it."

"Now there's just one more rule, is there really a big difference? I'm also very curious... which king would dare to act so recklessly near Houde?"

"You're really amazing!" Yugiri Shinzun gave a thumbs up, his face full of passionate admiration.

However, Han Li still ignored her, acting just like a nagging man, "What are Qu Zhenzun's thoughts?"

Qu Jianlei took out a compass and tossed it twice in his hand. "Let me analyze it first. If all else fails... we'll just go straight for the core of the formation!"

In his opinion, Han Li was absolutely right.

So what if he's a Divine Lord? No matter how terrifying a True Lord's formation is, it's not like the Dead Zone, which is completely natural and unpolluted.

The formation has a key point, and with the guidance of the Creation Compass, as long as the key point is found, it can be broken.

Of course, breaking through the array's core requires a certain level of strength, but... for these few people, it shouldn't be too difficult.

There's no need to overemphasize the strength of a True Monarch. If dozens of True Venerables were to attack at once, severely injuring a True Monarch wouldn't be too difficult.

As long as the True Lord is willing to fight desperately, completely annihilating the Great Lord may not be easy, but defeating him and making him flee in a sorry state without daring to look back is not that difficult.

“Then you can do the divination,” Han Li nodded. “If you can find the core of the formation, leave it to me.”

This is also one of the reasons why Qu Jianlei is so confident... someone dares to take control of the formation!

“Leave the maintenance of the formation to me,” Jin Ge said calmly. “I’ve basically understood it.”

He was not just an encyclopedia; in fact, he was not particularly outstanding in any particular area.

Aside from disliking fire, the Sage can basically be called a large-scale hexagonal warrior, and is in no way inferior to an ordinary True Venerable.

“There’s no time to lose,” Yugiri also stated. “With so many people watching, the longer we wait to get away, the greater the variables will become.”

“Yes, I understand,” Qu Jianlei nodded, then left behind a phantom image before entering the cave.

“This guy,” Jin Ge shook his head helplessly, “is so cautious about everything.”

“You don’t understand,” Han Li shook his head, “Stop gossiping about others, just keep an eye on the formation.”

Half a day later, Qu Jianlei came out and was startled. "Why is the formation so tense?"

“It’s an energy wave attack,” Jin Ge said, using technical terms and looking serious. “If you hadn’t come out, I would have called you.”

The wave attack follows a tidal pattern, but each wave is more powerful than the last, putting increasing pressure on the formation.

"Just go with the flow," Qu Jianlei said casually. "No need to fight it out, is that all?"

“There’s an external force targeting the illusion,” the cold and beautiful True Venerable said slowly. “It must be that the other side couldn’t wait any longer and someone stepped in.”

“It’s nothing,” Qu Jianlei shook his head, then looked at Han Li, “Anything else?”

Han Li didn't answer but asked in return, "Your aura isn't strong... Did something happen?"

"What kind of aura is that?" True Venerable Xiwu's eyes lit up as he scanned the two of them.

This look made Qu Jianlei a little uncomfortable, like he was being targeted by the axe-wielding woman who was shipping Danmei.

However, he didn't pay attention to it, and instead nodded and said seriously, "There is no array core."

"No array core?" Han Li was taken aback upon hearing this, and after a moment of contemplation, she asked again, "Then what is your plan?"

“Let’s force our way through,” Qu Jianlei said calmly, then his lips twitched slightly. “This is… sigh.”

"Forcibly break the formation set up by the Great Lord?" Yugiri couldn't care less about shipping anymore; her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.

"The Great Lord who doesn't even dare to show his face..." Han Li is on a path of self-destruction with no turning back.

He dismissively replied, "Then let's just break it. What kind of help do we need?"

“Break through the array’s defenses,” Qu Jianlei’s lips twitched again, “This is fucking…”

“You’re feeling sorry for him,” Jin Ge saw through his dilemma. Back when he was in the academy, the Master of Arts was skilled at reading people’s expressions.

"Feeling sorry for your ugly tree roots, right?"

"I wonder how much we'll have used up," Qu Jianlei sighed.

Then, as if struck by a sudden thought, he looked at Han Li and said, "You could also try using the aura of creation to help with divination."

Han Li really helped him a lot and never complained about anything.

Even Jiuyou Island was lent to him without hesitation; otherwise, he would have had to go to great lengths to borrow a fifth-order spiritual vein.

Although he did have "not many" ugly tree roots left, it wouldn't hurt to give them to the other party—it was all for the sake of getting everyone out of trouble.

If Han Li can find a new path through this, then that's what a Daoist partner should do.

"The aura of creation... divination?" Xiwu was taken aback upon hearing this. Could these two concepts be combined?
Besides, are you sure you won't get a beating from your elders for wasting such a precious resource?

"The aura of creation... divination?" Han Li's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and after a moment's thought, he slowly nodded, "We can give it a try."

“I can too… never mind,” Jin Ge hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, seemingly thinking of something.

Then he asked curiously, "Don't you have confidence in yourself?"

“I, the protector,” Qu Jianlei replied in a deep voice, his right eye twitching slightly, “True Venerable Xiwu said that the other party may have already infiltrated.”

"Alright, Jin Ge, stop getting involved," Han Li couldn't help but say. "Are you really that jealous that I can't stand to see you get a little advantage?"

“That’s the aura of creation,” Jin Ge glanced at him indifferently, “I’m worried you’ll be affected.”

"You're overthinking it. Qu Zhenzun is keeping an eye on things for me," Han Li said casually. "He'll notice something's wrong."

He's someone who never admits defeat, so it's truly rare for him to say something like that.

“You two…” Xi Wu Zhenzun looked at him, then at Qu Jianlei, and finally said nothing more.

"We're clearly trapped, aren't we?" Jin Ge said helplessly. "Why do we seem so relaxed, like we've found a training ground?"
