332 The Journey to the East, Part 23

He wondered if it was a trapping formation or a killing formation. Shangguan Yun had a headache, thinking to himself that Japan was truly fraught with danger and not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

Now look what's happened! Instead of opening the turtle's shell, we've gotten trapped inside. We need to figure out a way to get out!

Just as Shangguan Yun hesitated, the formation was activated. Inside the Asama Grand Shrine, Takeda Inoue shouted, "Eight Gates Golden Lock, lock down heaven and earth! Demons and monsters, surrender! Ancestor Gendo, assist me in subduing demons and monsters! Laozi, hasten as the law commands..."

Wu Tianjing swiftly cast several spells into the jade wall, and white mist rose from it, gradually forming a three-foot-long sphere. This semi-transparent sphere, composed of spiritual energy, was the core of the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation, and the jade wall was the control array.

The primordial energy of heaven and earth was isolated, yin and yang were reversed, and the sun and moon lost their light.

Shangguan Yun felt terrible and cursed his bad luck. He thought to himself, "Damn it, this lousy Ninja Sect has such a strong backup plan."

Of course, he didn't know that the Oshino school was just a small sect inherited from the ancestors of the Oshino brothers, Retsuyama and Oshino. Although it had been passed down for hundreds of years, it was affiliated with the Asama Taisha Shrine.

Asama Shrine is one of the oldest cultivation sects in Japan. Its founder is said to be Chinese, although there were no clear national boundaries in that era.

What about the East, the West, or the Four Continents? But the only places cultivators can reach are those divided by sects and factions. Even the countries are all supported and controlled by cultivators.

Moreover, the world order was different back then. It was ancient times, and the positions of continental plates were different. Even Europe was adjacent to the sacred Kunlun Mountains.

However, Shangguan Yun had no time to think about these things. All he wanted to do was get out of here as soon as possible and never come back to this place again, no matter what. What kind of hellish place is this?!

When Renno Retsuyama saw Shangguan Yun looking around helplessly inside the formation, a sinister smile appeared on his lips. He was very happy, and very cruel.

"Senior brother, start the attack! I really want to tear this guy to pieces as soon as possible to comfort Hachikai's spirit in heaven..." Shino Retsuyama said through gritted teeth.

Wu Tianjing laughed and said, "Junior brother, don't be impatient. This Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation was created by our grandmaster with great magical power. Only when eight True Immortal Realm experts work together can it unleash its full power."

With our combined magical power, we can only mobilize a very small portion of the formation's power, so let's not be impatient and trap him for a while.

Once he gets impatient, he'll naturally launch attacks in all directions. Then, when he's exhausted and flustered, we can launch our own attack. Wouldn't that be twice as effective? Hehe…”

Oshino Retsuyama nodded in agreement, and the two continued to observe Shangguan Yun's reaction, while Takeda Ion carefully controlled the formation, ready to launch a sneak attack at any time.

At this point, Shangguan Yun was already close to going berserk. First, he realized that this formation definitely had the functions of illusion and trapping formations. No matter how he flew around on his sword and bombarded with the five elements spells, it seemed to have no effect. It was still as illusory and chaotic as ever.

In the end, they discussed it with Hongling. The first thing they did was to study the level of the formation and analyze its energy level.

According to system analysis and calculations, this formation is completely inconsistent with the cultivation level of this realm. It seems to be some kind of formation from the Immortal Realm, but it is roughly equivalent to the True Immortal realm.

Then there's the energy level, which is roughly equivalent to just exceeding Earth's standard, but not reaching the standard of the solar system, belonging to a power that transcends this realm.

However, because the person operating the formation has too low a cultivation level, they cannot unleash most of the formation's power. Therefore, the formation's energy level can currently only reach the initial stage of Earth level, equivalent to the ordinary Mahayana stage cultivators sensing its existence.

Shangguan Yun really wanted to curse. Apart from Old Dragon, probably no one could break out of here.

But we can't just sit here and wait to die; we still need to keep thinking of ways.

Shangguan Yun stopped running around and stopped to observe the strange formation, while secretly thinking about how to break through it.

More than 100 kilometers away from here, at the Meiji Shrine in Tokyo, Miyamoto Tsuikawa was surrounded by eight old men in black, all of whom were at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

At this moment, Miyamoto Tsuikawa was holding a small red porcelain bottle in his hand and looking at everyone.

"Everyone, the shikigami Yamata no Orochi is right here. Let us quickly offer a sacrifice so that it can control the national treasure and annihilate the enemy at Mount Seitake to prevent future troubles..."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Miyamoto Tsuikawa placed the red porcelain bottle within the array of the Eight-Span Curved Jewel and then began chanting incantations.

Before long, the array shone brightly. The eight people each made hand seals and poured their magic power into the array. About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, everyone heard a piercing shriek and a black light soared into the sky.

The eight people quickly circulated their internal energy to protect their minds, gazing at the enormous black snake shadow churning in the air.
