How Many Years Have You Studied Formations?

The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

Beyond the Blood Sea Long Corridor, the golden gate had already opened, Chenghuang disappeared inside.

Qin Yi took a deep breath, activated the Heart Cleansing Incantation, and calmed his thoughts.

He and Liusu shared a consensus on this mission, which was rather strange. Chenghuang clearly had some schemes against the so-called Hyena Prime Minister and the "Guo Country," but on the surface, it seemed as if he hadn't prepared anything at all. He simply told himself to guard the formation and not let anyone in disturb him, and then he casually began to cultivate inside.

She's like a naive and innocent girl.

How could such a thing happen? It's absolutely impossible.

But after thinking it over, Chenghuang had no reason to harm him, and also harm Ye Ling at the same time... If he really wanted to harm them, why use such a troublesome method? What would it mean for her?

I can't figure it out at all.

He dared not be careless, and did not even dare to go to the door to check the situation down the mountain. He directly activated the formation and did not dare to leave the center of the formation for a moment, waiting for the change.

The strength of this formation is actually unexpectedly low...

Qin Yi originally thought that this kind of formation protecting the Sacred Land should have been set up by the leaders of that time, and should be extremely powerful, powerful enough to reach the level of Nascent Soul Spirit Transformation. However, Liusu's judgment was:

"Its power is about the same as that of a fully-fledged Core Formation expert, but it is very balanced. It is as if every attack is as powerful as a full-force strike from a fully-fledged Core Formation expert. It can also launch multiple attacks at the same time and has many special abilities. So it is actually equivalent to having many fully-fledged Core Formation experts guarding this place. Anyone below this level will definitely die upon entering the formation. Only experts of the same level dare to try to break through with the help of various treasures."

"Actually, it's not bad..." Judging from this strength, there shouldn't have been any formation here before. It was set up by the monsters of the White Kingdom after this place was occupied. At that time, the monsters had already fallen to the point where there were no Sacred Land to enter, so naturally it couldn't be that strong.

Without Sacred Land sites available, and trapped at the bottom of the valley with few opportunities to go out and gain experience, resources are relatively scarce. It is unlikely that any genius who can break through the barriers on their own will emerge. Therefore, the peak of Core Formation should be the baseline for the kings of the Three Kingdoms. Since no one can break through, a balance is maintained.

The only one who would dare to challenge us is the enemy's king himself!

Formations are never truly invincible; they always leave a "sliver of hope," giving people a chance to break them. This aligns with the concept of "the Way of Heavenly Dao" and also prevents one from digging their own grave.

This would normally be normal, but if an insider leaks the method to break the formation, it could render the formation useless.

This is the significance of Qin Yi guarding the formation. When someone who understands formations manipulates the changes in the formation, it makes it difficult for various predicted ways to break the formation to be dealt with on the spot.

Ye Ling was getting bored and couldn't sit still. Just as she was about to go out to take a look, Qin Yi pulled her back. "The great formation has been activated. Do you want to die? If any enemies appear later, listen to my voice for every direction you move in. Don't make the slightest mistake."

Before the words were even finished, a tremendous tremor shook the mountainside, followed by the screams of the guards below, accompanied by tyrannical laughter.

"Here it comes." Qin Yi gripped the Wolf Tooth Club tightly.

The newcomers seemed to have brought their subordinates with them. The fighting continued down the mountain, but the newcomers had already charged straight up. In a short while, the guards outside the main hall screamed as they were sent flying into the formation, quickly triggering the array. Flames erupted, and several guards were simultaneously burned to ashes.

Ye Ling looked at the charred corpses in the formation with a pang of pity... These were her own people...

Qin Yi remained calm as he watched the figure appear at the cave entrance.

Not one, but two.

Both were humanoid; one was a burly man with a ferocious face and hands shaped like tiger claws; the other was a thin man who looked as if he could be blown away by the wind, with only one eye and four wings on his back.

The Guo King and the Xiao King.

This is a joint effort by the Guo Country and Xiao Kingdom!

It's understandable. Neither of the two countries would want the White Kingdom to monopolize Sacred Land like the Kun Peng Purple Mansion. Before, it was one thing to be unable to enter the Sacred Land despite having the necessary tokens, but now that Chenghuang has gathered them, instead of hurrying in to cultivate and finish, he's dragged his feet for several days. It would be a miracle if they didn't seize this opportunity to form an alliance and join forces.

It's likely that not only the two kings planned to take advantage of the situation to enter the cave and kill Chenghuang, but also their elite troops, who were preparing to divide up the White Kingdom.

He was looking at the two kings, and the two kings were also looking at him and Ye Ling, their eyes filled with astonishment.

"Soaring Serpent... that vile woman's chief disciple?" Guo King chuckled, his gaze towards Ye Ling filled with cruelty and bloodlust.

"That human," the Xiao King let out a shrill laugh, "The jackal said that the wretch has been doting on this human lately, keeping him in his bedchamber every night for intimate moments, and even knitting clothes for him himself, hahaha..."

Qin Yi's expression changed drastically.

Knitting clothes yourself?

The Guo King chuckled meaningfully, "That slut must have had a good time. It's a bit of a pity that this human beat her to the punch."

The Xiao King laughed loudly, "Once we break down the door, she won't be able to concentrate on her breakthrough, so we can enjoy her however we want!"

The two demon kings laughed heartily, oblivious to everyone else. Ye Ling didn't understand and stared at them blankly. "Brother, you've never eaten Master before, how could you taste anything? And what does 'first place' mean?"

Qin Yi, however, was lost in thought, completely oblivious to what they were saying...

"What are they laughing at? They look so silly."

"Oh." Qin Yi snapped out of his daze, "Their voices were like broken gongs, I couldn't hear them clearly."

The expressions of both demon kings darkened simultaneously.

They are kings of the masses, not scoundrels or thugs. They are not the kind of people who spout nonsense and say such things on purpose, just to provoke their opponents.

But these two opponents were quite clever; even a little kid could see through their intentions and they even mocked them back in unison...

The Xiao King's voice turned cold. "This wretched woman is indeed cautious. Unable to confirm which confidants might have been bribed by the jackals, she simply uses only her male favorites and disciples, refusing any subordinates who might be involved with the jackals. But precisely because of this..."

The Guo King sneered, "That's precisely why she must be in the cave!"

Before he could finish speaking, a tiger claw shot out, and a huge phantom of a tiger claw suddenly rushed out, grabbing straight at Qin Yi!

The speed was so fast that Qin Yi could barely see it, but he didn't react at all.

With a sharp "crack," the phantom struck a suddenly solidified ice wall, but instead of destroying it in the slightest, ice shards were deflected off it. The tiger's claw swept again, clearing away the ice shards, and the Guo King's expression turned somewhat stern.

Qin Yi finally spoke, "Trying to deal with the guardians from outside the formation? Are you out of your minds? If you're confident you can break the formation, why not go inside and try?"

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Ling suddenly shifted his position and stood on a different brick.

The seemingly meaningless action caused flames to suddenly rise from the edge of the array in one corner of the main hall—black flames, the Teng Snake Heavenly Fire!

Ye Ling's participation changed the nature of the flames in the formation, and amplified it countless times over compared to her own power!

A muffled groan came from the empty corner, and a thin figure retreated in a disheveled state.

It was none other than the Xiao King.

Looking again, beside the Guo King, there was another Xiao King. It turned out that he had left a clone to deceive Qin Yi's vision, while his real body had long wanted to sneak into the formation. However, the reason why this kind of formation was so complex that it required human control was precisely because it had too many functions. This formation itself had the ability to pierce through illusions. His clone was clearly visible to Qin Yi. He only had Ye Ling change his position, and the path to life on that side immediately turned into a dead end.

"So you did have a traitor among you, knowing that over there was a gate to the formation." Qin Yi smiled slightly. "Then let's see just how many variations he revealed to you."

The Xiao King coldly said, "What use is it for you to know about changes? In the end, what matters is the understanding and comprehension of the Dao of Formations. You're still wet behind the ears; how many years have you studied?"

Qin Yi, leaning on his Wolf Tooth Club, smiled even more brightly, "Sorry, it's been tens of thousands of years."
