404: Enter the Sword Formation

Among the crowd, Zhou Shi Xin looked at her parents, her pink fists clenched, her bright eyes flashing with worry.

The young girl thought she was about to face a vast world, but upon arriving in that world, she discovered it was even more dangerous than the darkness she had imagined.

The road ahead was full of mist; all the young girl could do was listen to the words of her Father echoing in her ears.

She stood under the big tree, her beautiful eyes fixed on them without blinking.

Some people were also curious about who this pure and lovely-looking young girl with fair, tender skin was, and some bold Cultivators even wanted to go up and strike up a conversation.

It was just that they encountered an iceberg, and all they felt was the coldness from her bones.

Today, Zhou Luo wore a green robe, standing with his hands behind his back, his deep, Star-like eyes showing no trace of panic, his heart as still as water.

Beside him, Yao Wu was feeling a bit nervous. She occasionally turned her head to look at her Husband beside her, only then would her uneasy heart feel a slight relief.

In front of Lieyang Mountain, the surroundings became increasingly quiet, and the atmosphere grew somewhat strange and heavy.

The silent mountain path was ancient and uneven, winding and twisting, leading to an unknown road.

A gentle breeze swept past, bringing a hint of coolness, but the lush green trees of Lieyang Mountain seemed frozen, as if they were on a shore that the breeze could not reach.

Zhou Luo's gaze was deep. As an Array Master, he naturally knew this was because the entire Lieyang Mountain was shrouded in a formation.

It was said that True Person Lieyang was not only a Third-Order Gu Master, but also had gone very far in the path of the sword.

Back then, he had proven his Dao with his sword and possessed extremely high talent.

Now, True Person Lieyang had combined the path of the sword and Array Formation, creating such a sword Formation.

The purpose of this sword Formation was not to kill or injure any outsiders, but merely to sever, to sever the connection with the world, and seal it off.

No one knew what was inside True Person Lieyang's cave dwelling, or what he had left for his future inheritors. Out of respect for the deceased, the Sect Head and others did not choose to force their way in.

They only learned of the other party's demise through the Sect's Life imprint.

presumably, this was also the final test True Person Lieyang had set for his inheritor.

Now the Sect Head had entrusted this test to Yao Wu, and to take care of her while she was pregnant, he also allowed Zhou Luo to accompany her.

From this perspective, this Sect Head did not truly want to put someone to death.

It was just that this sword Formation was not so easy to break through.

As an Array Master, Zhou Luo keenly sensed that the countless Sword Intents emanating from this sword Formation were like a veil, dividing this mountain peak into countless areas.

Once they stepped in, they would definitely be attacked by Sword Intent.

Moreover, the other party was still a Third-Order Gu Master. Who could guarantee that high-level Gu would not appear in this sword Formation?

Zhou Luo's expression was calm, and a faint blue light shimmered around him. The Water Spirit Heart Method was calming his mind.

In the clouds of the High Mountain, Golden Core True Persons stood calmly, their gazes looking down below.

Facing the test, the other party chose to accept the challenge. So how should they pass the test, reach the summit, and obtain Lieyang's inheritance?

Perhaps, for this group of Golden Core True Persons, this was the answer they most wanted to know.

Clouds lingered, and several Golden Core True Persons arrived in the area. Their gazes were deep, revealing no joy or sorrow.

In unseen places, the factional struggle within the Sect was also continuing.

The struggle over True Person Lieyang's lineage would never change because of Yao Wu's appearance.

Because she was too weak, it was even difficult for her to reach the summit now.

Countless pairs of eyes were watching him.

The sun gradually set, and a night breeze swept up a dead leaf on the mountain path, quietly drifting into the mountain peak.

Silently, that dead leaf was cut into strands of fine threads, and then slowly fell to the ground.

This scene made Yao Wu's heart tremble, feeling a bit nervous.

Zhou Luo, however, remained completely unchanged. He just quietly watched the mountain path in front of him, waiting for the sun to set, waiting for the silver moon to rise. It was as if he wanted to see through the entire sword formation.

Everyone held their breath. Most of the Time had passed, what was the other party planning to do?

Just then, Zhou Luo took a step, his body walking towards one of the mountain paths.

He walked very slowly, his green robe swaying in the wind, taking a step into the range of the mountain peak.

Ch—

Along with the sound of a Sharp Weapon snapping, a slit appeared on the cuff of his magic robe, as if it had been cut by a sharp Flying Sword.

Stepping into the mountain peak, he was instantly attacked.

Zhou Luo's expression didn't change, nor did he retreat. He just turned back to look at Yao Wu: "Follow me closely."

His mellow and gentle voice was like the warm sun in winter, soothing the nervous and uneasy Yao Wu. She nodded heavily.

Immediately, Zhou Luo's left foot also stepped out, moving four steps to the left, then retreating two steps, shifting his feet slightly, and then walking eight steps forward.

They only saw a corner of his sleeve fall off without making any sound, while he himself was already on the mountain path, having entered the sword formation.

Seeing this, Yao Wu also followed closely behind, entering the mountain peak by following his movements.

"What's going on?" a Disciple of the Wan Gu Sect asked in confusion.

Many people around him were not Array Masters, so they naturally couldn't understand the meaning behind the other party's strange route.

But some smart Disciples immediately understood. The other party should have researched formations, which was why he made such movements.

It's just that shouldn't ordinary Array Masters all need Array Plates?

Could it be that the other party could avoid the attack of this sword formation without needing deduction?

What they didn't know was that Zhou Luo, as a top-tier First-Order Pill Array Master, indeed needed an Array Plate.

But for the initial breaking of the formation, he could rely on his powerful Divine Sense to capture the flowing power within the formation.

The sword formation in front of them, in the end, was actually a type of offensive formation, not a traditional restrictive formation.

Since it was an offensive formation, its attacks naturally had discernible patterns.

Zhou Luo relied on his Divine Sense to observe the paths of those attacks, while also silently deducing and calculating in his heart.

This process could not be completed without an Array Plate.

Because this was still the periphery, everything was not as difficult as imagined, especially since the sword formation's power had been weakened.

His movements were not fast, but every step was extremely precise. He basically captured the attack routes of the sword formation with incredible accuracy. Except for the initial resistance from the sword formation, he was never attacked again at other Times.

Yao Wu silently followed behind him, even safer than him, and the unease in her heart gradually dissipated.

Pioneers bear heavier pressure and hardship than followers, and often the abilities possessed by pioneers are also more comprehensive.

Zhou Luo used the fact that he was safe and sound to prove his ability to those Wan Gu Sect Disciples.

For a Time, those Disciples who had been discussing and showing disdain all wisely shut their mouths.

"Father, you must pass,"

Zhou Shi Xin stood under the tree, her gaze firm, muttering to herself.
