Chapter 2571 Endless Cause and Effect
Finally, at a certain moment, the great formation suddenly trembled violently and disappeared instantly. The speed... actually had nothing to do with speed.

It just vanished suddenly; that space seemed to have never existed, like a hallucination.

However, the sudden disappearance of space caused severe energy disturbances in the surrounding space and energy.

All these reactions suggested to everyone that there really was a large formation here just now, but it has disappeared.

"Damn it!" Upon seeing this, the Unworthy True Venerable couldn't help but swear, but his eyes were unusually bright. "The great formation is about to break, quickly perform divination!"

He wasn't actually sure if the formation was about to break, but that didn't stop him from shouting.

His divination skills aren't very high; he just had a divination done not long ago, so it's not convenient for him to make any more moves.

"This is really hard to calculate," said Tianli Zhenzun from not far away, his face dark. His divination skills were even worse than Bucai Zhenzun's.

"We can only calculate the people involved; whether the great formation was broken or not... is inconvenient to calculate!"

The next moment, another exclamation rang out, "Holy crap? The palace... the palace has disappeared too!"

"Who's willing to have their fortune told? I'm not quite qualified."

"Hurry up, all of you! Don't you want to take a look at that level of formation?"

How could anyone not want to? Even a damaged formation is still at the Nascent Soul level; there are plenty of people who want to see it.

But the divination result left everyone looking at each other in bewilderment: "Why is it... not advisable to get close?"

"Mine too!" someone quickly exclaimed. "They say there could be uncontrollable changes!"

Everyone was discussing the matter, but no one could agree. Just then, Song Yue'er noticed that one of the Nascent Soul cultivators had a strange expression.

She raised her hand, pulling the other person close, and asked calmly, "Who are you? What information do you know?"

"I...I have met Your Excellency," the Nascent Soul cultivator stammered, raising his hand in a gesture of respect.

"Li Yuren, a junior cultivator from Cangwu, has heard that the situation is out of control and thinks it's best to wait for good news."

"Oh, Cangwu..." Song Yue'er understood immediately, but she was still a little curious, "Uncontrollable... is that a good thing?"

“Qu Zhenzun is best at handling the uncontrollable!” Li Yuren replied formally. “I’m more worried about the controllable… how long has he been out of body?”

This wasn't just empty praise; Hongyeling's meticulous calculation abilities were well-known throughout Cangwu.

However, Qu Jianlei was also a little confused. "What the opponent just used was... teleportation?"

Recently, they have clashed with the Merchant Alliance members several times. The opponents are clearly becoming more and more familiar with the Great Lord's formations, and their attacks are becoming more and more effective.

However, Qu Jianlei and his group of four had absolutely no idea who their opponent was or where they would make their move...

It should be understood that once an attack is launched against them, it will inevitably be at the Nascent Soul level, and it is almost impossible for it to be launched by one person alone.

When fighting from the body, an attack that refuses to reveal the user's physical form usually has...mediocre results.

The power of ranged attacks is not necessarily weak; it may even be very strong. However, almost all True Venerables are well-rounded, capable of both ranged and melee attacks.

The kind of fighting style that involves ambushing from the shadows is something that only True Venerable Hunters would deliberately train for.

In fact, the other side strictly controlled even this aspect in order to prevent them from detecting any trace of the attackers.

What level of True Venerables are Qu Jianlei and Han Li? They couldn't glean any clues about their aura from the other's sneak attack.

However, everything in the world has its advantages and disadvantages. The opponent was indeed very good at hiding their strength, but this also greatly affected their attack capabilities.

These past few days, Qu Jianlei and his three companions have been in a constant state of being ambushed, which is a really terrible feeling.

Not to mention Jin Ge's fiery temper, even Xi Wu's beautiful eyes were full of murderous intent—it was as if she wanted to never let us catch her.

However, Qu Jianlei and Han Li didn't care.

They weren't addicted to masochism, but rather they felt that the other person was already showing weakness by not daring to even let out a breath!

Not revealing one's presence can be a way of feigning mystery, but sacrificing attack power to maintain secrecy is simply wrong.

The business alliance has always operated primarily with a domineering approach and secondarily with a benevolent approach. When has it ever felt so stifled before?
Even if a True Venerable Hunter was sent to ambush him, it was only because he had already gained an advantage in the early stages, so it can't be considered aggrieved, right?

Therefore, the merchant alliance's current attack methods can only mean one thing: they don't actually have much confidence in this battle.

Jin Ge and Xi Wu accepted their explanation, but they still felt a little uncomfortable.

So they devised a little plan: by launching indiscriminate attacks on their teammates, they would use the reflected attacks to pinpoint the enemy.

After all, each True Venerable's methods are marked by a very distinct personal style.

Just now, this little trick almost worked. The opponent was so shocked that he used a teleportation technique to escape.

Normally, teleportation techniques are not very useful or effective within the Heavenly Capital Formation.

However, the opponent, using some unknown mechanism, not only managed to break free from the battlefield but also disrupted the entire formation.

The four people inside the formation were unsure of what was happening outside, but they all sensed something was amiss.

“A distortion of space?” Jin Ge frowned slightly. “It seems to be widespread.”

“Very strong,” Yugiri, who also had an extremely strong sense of space, calmly stated, “The great formation must have shifted.”

Han Li frowned slightly, picked out an ugly tree root, and raised her other hand to make calculations.

Since handing over the divination work to Qu Zhenzun, he has rarely performed divinations himself, spending most of his time protecting his teammates.

This protection mission is also quite challenging, especially since the enemy's harassment is becoming more and more frequent and comes without warning.

In this situation, his attempt to perform divination again clearly indicated that he sensed something was amiss.

After finishing his calculations, he gave a light hum, "You two should take the time to rest and adjust your condition."

They've been attacked repeatedly these days, and although they haven't been seriously injured, they're really exhausted.

I've been constantly on guard against attacks from those at the Out-of-Body level. The physical fatigue is manageable, but the real problem is... mental exhaustion.

“It’s alright,” said True Monarch Yugiri calmly. “This little situation can be handled for another ten or twenty years without any problem.”

She wasn't being stubborn; as a True Venerable, how could one explore higher paths without sufficiently strong nerves?
Suddenly, Qu Zhenzun's illusory figure emitted a divine sense, "It's almost time..."

"Huh?" The other three True Venerables were all taken aback upon hearing this, with Han Li reacting the fastest, "Break the formation?"

"Hmm," Qu Zhenzun nodded slightly, "We've made some progress. Although this formation is terrifying, it was still a bit hasty."

“Damn,” Jin Ge muttered softly, but couldn’t hide the smile on his face. “It seems that Han Li isn’t the only one with a lot of nerve.”

Han Li ignored his words and instead raised an eyebrow, "What can we do now?"

"Let's rest," Qu Jianlei replied in a deep voice. "The enemy shouldn't be able to find us again. We can just wait for the final moment to break the formation."

"Wow," Jin Ge and Xi Wu were surprised to hear this, even Han Li was a little confused, "You managed to keep it from them?"

"Hmm," Qu Zhenzun's illusory figure nodded slightly, "The principle of the great formation has been basically understood, but the opponent's method of utilizing it is a bit lacking."

A flash of murderous intent crossed Xiwu's beautiful eyes. "Then, can we use the great formation to turn the tables and kill them now?"

She's been really annoyed by the harassment these days; she's almost gotten hurt several times.

Fortunately, Han Li and Jin Ge are strong enough and experienced enough to provide timely assistance and help.

Even so, she had incurred a lot of unnecessary expenses, and she couldn't swallow this insult.

"Counterattack..." Qu Zhenzun's illusory figure remained silent for a while before answering, "It's difficult; the great formation has cause and effect."

Based on his current understanding of the grand formation, theoretically, he should be able to utilize it better than his opponent.

So Yugiri's suggestion was correct, and he also tended to do it that way. Who wouldn't like an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth?
However, after some calculation, he realized that while the ideal was lofty, the reality was harsh—the formation assumed the other side was the main entity.

Previously, the Merchant Alliance controlled the palace, and the grand formation was a retaliatory measure released after the palace was attacked.

Therefore, even though Qu Jianlei was more familiar with the formation, he could not use it to launch a counterattack—after all, it was a cause and effect at the level of a Grand Monarch.

The good thing is that these guys from the Merchant Alliance are using the formation at a very low rate, less than 10%.

As soon as Qu Jianlei said it, the other three True Venerables understood immediately.

But Yugiri was clearly a little annoyed. "Fine, how long will it take to break the formation? I'm not in a hurry to rest."

"It's hard to say," Qu Jianlei's illusory figure replied, "Five days... to fifteen days."

“Then there’s really no need to rest,” Yugiri said decisively. “I’m good at protracted battles, and I’ll take one last look at the formation.”

Although they were trapped by the formation, which was very unlucky, a Nascent Soul level formation was still a rare and precious find.

Previously, everyone was considering how to break the formation. Now that we have a general idea of ​​how to do it, we should take this opportunity to observe it more closely.

Upon hearing this, Jin Ge's spirits lifted. "Let me see too. What level of attack is needed to break the formation?"

The last leg of a journey is the hardest; when it comes to the final strike to break through the enemy's defenses, the required attack strength will certainly be astonishing.

“We can’t sense it at the moment,” Qu Jianlei shook his head, “but the demand for strength may not be that great.”

He broke the formation by analyzing the principles and understanding the principles of formation, not by brute force.

However, since it was ultimately the Great Khan's doing, he couldn't perceive much more and could only take it one step at a time.

On the seventh day, Qu Jianlei's illusory figure suddenly became real.

The next moment, he flipped his wrist and threw out two ugly tree roots, aimed directly at Jin Ge and Xi Wu.

"The three of you, follow the direction of my attack and release your aura of creation. I will guide you!"

“This is…” Yugiri shook her head, caught the ugly tree root, and muttered softly, “It’s really extravagant.”

Jin Ge sighed softly, "Even if I knew how to break the formation, I couldn't break it... Who has this thing?"

Han Li also revealed an ugly tree root, then spoke thoughtfully, "This aura of creation, is it not necessary?"

“It’s not absolutely necessary, but it’s more than necessary,” Qu Jianlei replied. “Without the aura of creation, how can we withstand the karmic consequences of the Great Lord?”
