644: Eight Methods Reverse Cloud Formation

When the crowd rushed out of the valley, the lightning in the sky finally ceased.

Everyone felt a sense of survival after a disaster, and they all looked up at the sky.

At this glance, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, because no one was seen in the sky.

That figure dressed in black, who had blocked the lightning for them, had disappeared without a trace at some point!

In everyone's eyes, a look of awe and respect appeared at this moment.

Two hundred miles away, Ji Wuchang's figure appeared. He had already put away those black clothes and changed into his normal attire!

He looked around; it was an endless plain.

Ji Wuchang knew that from here on, he would truly be entering the core of this Secret Realm.

He looked at the map in his Divine Soul's Sea of Consciousness; he was just a small point of light on the map.

He chose a direction and then flew forward.

According to the map's description, this Secret Realm was divided into four areas, roughly in the shape of four concentric circles.

Everything they had experienced before was the Vicious Beast area. Its area was very small compared to the entire Secret Realm, somewhat similar to the outer perimeter!

But that was the first trial of the Secret Realm. Only those who passed this stage were qualified to enter the second concentric circle.

This place was the largest area in the Secret Realm, featuring various environments like plains, forests, and deserts. Right now, he had arrived at the plains.

Ji Wuchang took out a Jade Token. This was given to him by Chi Qianzhu; the Jade Token Li Xueqin had given him was taken by Chi Qianzhu and replaced with this one.

The front of this Jade Token had a pattern of a row of bamboo, while the back had the character 'Chi'.

According to Chi Qianzhu, as long as the two of them were within a thousand miles of each other, the Jade Token would automatically heat up!

But he felt it for a moment and didn't sense any abnormality from the Jade Token.

He put the Jade Token away and then looked into the distance, where the shadow of a tower-shaped building appeared not far from him.

Ji Wuchang was slightly stunned and hurried toward it. A moment later, he arrived near the tower-shaped building.

It was indeed a tower-shaped building, three stories in total, filled with an ancient, heavy, and vast aura.

As soon as Ji Wuchang appeared, the several people who were originally sitting cross-legged beneath the tower-shaped building opened their eyes simultaneously and looked at him.

There were seven people here in total, both men and women, including an old man.

The strongest among them had actually reached the ninth level of the dao severing realm, while the weakest was at the seventh level of the dao severing realm.

When they saw that Ji Wuchang only had a cultivation base at the third level of the Dao Severing Realm, a look of disappointment appeared in the eyes of all seven people.

Ji Wuchang was naturally sizing up these seven people as well. His gaze fell on the ninth level Dao Severing Realm cultivator, and he was quite surprised because the other party looked like a young boy.

Seemingly sensing Ji Wuchang's gaze, a flash of killing intent appeared in the boy's eyes; he hated it most when others sized him up like that.

This boy was named Hou Wuqing, from the Hou Family. He also had a nickname, 'Heartless Monkey'!

He was already several hundred years old. In terms of seniority, he was the uncle of Hou Liangyun, who died at Ji Wuchang's hands, and the cousin of the Hou Family head, Hou Jian.

This time, the Hou Family had two people at the ninth level of the dao severing realm who entered, and one of them was Hou Wuqing!

Ji Wuchang shifted his gaze and looked around the high tower. He activated his Thousand Illusions Spirit Pupils and was momentarily stunned, then came to a sudden realization.

It turned out that these seven people were staying here instead of entering the high tower not because they didn't want to go in, but because there was a special Formation around the tower-shaped building.

And this tower-shaped building was the Formation eye!

If he guessed correctly, this Formation was similar to an Eight Trigrams Formation.

To break the Formation, eight people needed to act simultaneously!

"Everyone, we have already waited for an hour. Since someone has arrived, let's not wait any longer, shall we?"

At that moment, a woman spoke slowly. On her clothes was a pattern of a Fire Phoenix.

The woman carried the pressure of the eighth level of the dao severing realm, and combined with the Sect behind her, everyone gave her a lot of Face.

"Since someone has come, we must try. Otherwise, we don't know how much longer it will be before another person arrives here!"

Another person at the eighth level of the dao severing realm spoke, a trace of impatience showing on his Face.

This person at the eighth level of the dao severing realm was that old man!

The others nodded one after another, then turned their gaze toward Hou Wuqing.

Hou Wuqing's indifferent gaze swept over Ji Wuchang, and then he spoke calmly, "I have no objection!"

His voice was no different from that of a ten-year-old boy!

Seeing that everyone had expressed their stance, the woman from the Fire Phoenix Sect then looked at Ji Wuchang and said with an indifferent gaze, "Enter the Formation. Once the Formation is broken, if you are safe and sound, you will be allowed to travel with us!"

When the woman spoke, her posture was extremely high, as if she were giving charity.

Ji Wuchang frowned slightly, feeling that there was more to the woman's words than met the eye, but he didn't have time to think deeply and instead nodded slowly.

He wanted to see what surprises and gains would come once this Formation was broken.

If they provoked him, it shouldn't be too difficult for him to kill these seven people.

He walked slowly to a vacant prayer mat nearby and sat down, his eyes calm.

"Everyone, this Formation is called the 'Eight-Law Cloud-Reversal Formation.' It was evolved from the Six-Harmonies Formation by adding yin and yang qi."

"This kind of Formation has two functions. One is concealment, to prevent others from entering!"

"The second function is similar to a teleportation Formation, which can transport people to a specific area."

"After research and comparison, our Fire Phoenix Sect's Old Ancestor has roughly determined that this place is the ruins of the Medicine King Valley."

"Medicine King Valley was once a place where Supreme experts presided, and there was more than one."

"A place where such a Formation is laid out must be connected to a specific area."

"So, in a moment, when the eight of us operate our spiritual energy simultaneously, do not panic if you see a special passage appear!"

"This passage is very likely the path leading to other places."

The woman from the Fire Phoenix Sect spoke slowly, her expression solemn.

Most of the people here actually knew this; the woman from the Fire Phoenix Sect was mainly speaking for Ji Wuchang's benefit.

Ji Wuchang naturally understood this, so he nodded slightly!

Everyone's expressions became serious. Those few at the seventh level of the dao severing realm looked at Ji Wuchang, a faint trace of mockery appearing at the corners of their mouths.

They glanced at each other and simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.

Ji Wuchang's brow furrowed slightly; he felt that there should be some trickery involved, but he didn't have time to think much for the moment.

Ji Wuchang didn't know that the activation of the Eight-Law Cloud-Reversal Formation required a sacrifice.

Among the eight people, one would completely perish. All of their spiritual energy, essence blood, and Lifespan would be sucked dry by the Formation.

Moreover, this person was usually the one with the lowest cultivation base.

Therefore, seeing that Ji Wuchang was only at the third level of the Dao Severing Realm, those few at the seventh level who had been very apprehensive finally felt completely at ease.

"Everyone, if you are ready, let's act together!"

The woman from the Fire Phoenix Sect spoke, her voice spreading across the scene.

The people on the scene nodded one after another, then raised their palms and pressed them onto the Formation below!
