78: Is it good luck or bad luck?
The night was dim, and the setting sun hung alone.
In the distant sky, the heavens were stained blood-red.
Beneath the green pines on the summit of Wudao Peak.
Ye Fojian and Mu Buyu lay on lounge chairs, leisurely sipping Enlightenment Tea and enjoying the sunset.
More than an hour had passed since Mu Tiannan and the others entered the Pan Tao Garden, yet there was still no movement.
"Junior Brother, nothing went wrong, did it? It's been so long, why don't we go check?"
Ye Fojian was truly worried; after all, they were also Sect elders, and it wouldn't be good if they messed up!
Mu Buyu looked at the time, felt it was about right, then stood up and said,
"Alright, it's about time. Let's go bring them out!"
"Okay!"
Ye Fojian sprang to his feet; waiting idly like this made him uneasy.
Just as the two were about to leave, they stepped back, tacitly collecting the used Enlightenment Tea leaves.
This stuff could be reused for the Family members to brew and drink.
Neither of them commented on the other; anyway, there were no outsiders present, so there was nothing embarrassing about it!
Soon,
The two arrived at the back mountain.
Looking at the Pan Tao Garden, concealed by a Formation, many Spirit Beasts and Spirit Birds were lying nearby, seemingly absorbing the Spiritual Qi and the Aura emanating from the fruits.
Many had even settled down in the vicinity.
"Junior Brother, do you know what's truly inside here? Spiritual Qi is continuously emanating from it!"
Ye Fojian looked at the place with shock, the surrounding Spiritual Qi had become so dense it was like a mist.
He suspected that some kind of secret treasure might exist inside, otherwise, how could it be so astonishing!
"I'm not sure, perhaps only Revered Master knows!"
Mu Buyu shook his head; he also didn't know what was inside. Last time, he was sent out before he could see its true appearance.
Moreover, Revered Master had never told him about the things inside!
Ye Fojian guessed, saying,
"You think, could there be some kind of Undying Holy Medicine planted inside? Or else, some kind of peerless Spirit Fruit!"
Listening to Ye Fojian's speculation, Mu Buyu thought about it and also felt it was possible.
He shrugged his shoulders and said, "Perhaps."
"But now isn't the time for guessing, let's go in quickly!"
"Oh, right, stick close to me!"
With that, Mu Buyu took out a black token engraved with the character 'Jiang' and then walked in!
Seeing this, Ye Fojian quickly followed.
The moment they stepped in, they felt a dizzying sensation, and their vision went white.
When they could see the scene before them again, they found themselves standing on an endless mirror lake, their reflections clearly visible beneath their feet, as if they were real!
In response, Mu Buyu extended the token forward, and something astonishing happened.
A white door appeared in front, with a path leading directly from the door to their feet!
"This is an illusion Formation that changes with time. Don't think it's a mirror lake now; it might be a maze in a moment!"
"Revered Master's token can take us directly to the deepest part of the illusion Formation. Sect Master and the others should be there by now!"
"Let's go!"
Mu Buyu didn't explain further and walked towards the white door.
"Oh, right, don't step off this path!"
He reminded him.
Ye Fojian looked at everything around him with curiosity, then quickly followed!
Soon, the two passed through the white door, and the scene changed again.
Before them, they stood at the summit of a mountain, surrounded by ten-thousand-meter cliffs. At the peak, there were eight iron suspension bridges formed by chains, extending outwards in eight directions.
The two arrived at the summit, only to find it empty, and a bad feeling instantly arose in their hearts.
Even Mu Buyu was a little flustered.
"Oh no, they're not here, and not in the mirror lake. They've entered the second Formation! The second Formation is a fifth-grade killing Formation, Five Thunderbolts!"
"What!" Ye Fojian exclaimed, feeling his scalp tingle.
A fifth-grade Formation, the Five Thunderbolts Formation, wouldn't that blast people into dust?
He had experienced the power of a minor Heavenly Tribulation, and this Five Thunderbolts Formation was much more terrifying than a minor Heavenly Tribulation!
Even people in the Creation Realm would be blasted into dust!
"Then what are we waiting for? Hurry and go in!"
Ye Fojian's face turned pale, thinking of the worst possibilities, and he urged them on.
"Oh, oh, okay!" Mu Buyu recovered and quickly took out the token.
He was also a bit frustrated, what kind of dog-shit luck did Sect Master and the others have?
Out of the eight doors, only one could lead to the second Formation. Plus, these eight doors changed constantly and were not fixed. The fact that they managed to find it, he didn't know whether to call it good luck or bad luck!
The token flickered, then shot a ray of light towards one of the doors, serving as a guide!
"Let's go!"
Mu Buyu quickly stepped onto the iron suspension bridge and walked towards the other end.
"This corresponds to the principles of the Eight Gates Dunjia, namely Open Gate, Rest Gate, Harm Gate, Obstruction Gate, Scenery Gate, Alarm Gate, and Death Gate."
"Among them, only one door can enter the next Formation. However, these eight doors are constantly changing, so each time you enter, the orientation of the eight doors changes!"
"As for the other doors, they will return to the very beginning of the Formation, the mirror lake!"
Mu Buyu walked and explained at the same time.
Listening to these complex Formation principles, Ye Fojian only felt a headache, a feeling even more painful than being struck by lightning!
Soon, the two passed through the Death Gate and arrived at the second killing Formation.
The moment they stepped in, the two instantly felt a terrifying Aura. Looking up, they nearly died of fright.
Throughout the entire space, lightning continuously struck down from above, densely packed, like terrifying silver serpents, so numerous they seemed to be intertwined!
"Look, it's Sect Master and the others!"
Ye Fojian's gaze suddenly fell on a spot not far away, where he saw several figures, currently dodging the lightning in disarray, with several injured marks on their bodies.
Two or three Peak Lords were even lying on the ground, unconscious.
"Let's go!"
Mu Buyu's scalp tingled. He pulled Ye Fojian and ran towards Mu Tiannan and the others.
At this moment.
Mu Tiannan's Aura exploded to its extreme, a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, as he clumsily unleashed Divine Abilities to resist the lightning.
"Damn it, who the hell had nothing better to do than set up such a terrifying Formation here!"
Mu Tiannan cursed angrily, somewhat suspecting it was Han Qianfan!
The others were not in much better shape.
Jiang Wuyan threw out a palm, dispersing a bolt of lightning, but the next second, even more terrifying lightning struck down at her again.
The only one doing relatively well outside was probably the Lian Qi Peak Lord.
At this moment, he had a huge, special shield over his head. Although some cracks appeared on its surface, it could still block the lightning.
As for how long it could last, Fire Lie himself wasn't sure.
Everyone's situation was not good.
Mu Buyu and Ye Fojian arrived next to the Wuji Peak Lord, helping him up. With Jiang Qingchen's token, these lightning bolts would not attack them.
Seeing the Wuji Peak Lord's chaotic Aura, Mu Buyu's face didn't look good. He quickly pulled out several Medicinal Pills and put them into his throat!
"Sect Master, everyone, come over here quickly!"
He shouted towards the crowd in front!
At this moment, everyone paused when they heard the voice. They looked over and saw that it was Mu Buyu and Ye Fojian, and their expressions instantly changed drastically.
"Nonsense. What are you two doing in here, looking for death!" Mu Tiannan cursed angrily.
The Formation inside was too terrifying; even they couldn't withstand it, let alone two guys with not much cultivation!
"Sect Master, stop talking for now, hurry and come over! We have a token here, and the Formation won't attack us!" Mu Buyu shouted again!
What?
Everyone was startled, then cursed inwardly.
Damn it, why didn't you say you had this thing earlier?
Instantly, Mu Tiannan and the others no longer held back. After repelling the lightning, they quickly teleported over!
Swish, swish, swish!
Ye Fojian watched, dumbfounded, feeling utterly frustrated.
Why were these guys so good at escaping?
Soon, everyone gathered together.
Mu Buyu held out the token in front, and those terrifying lightning bolts instantly seemed to lose their target, striking the ground, and the sky began to quiet down.
Immediately after, a door appeared not far away, and Mu Buyu quickly called out,
"Let's go!"
With that, he walked over first, Ye Fojian following closely behind.
Seeing this, the others helped the three Peak Lords and quickly followed!
Soon.
When they passed through that door, they were already outside the Pan Tao Garden.
And at this moment, a figure was staring seriously at everyone, saying,
"I say, what are you doing here?"
