Illusion Within the Formation

The Divine Path Sect was a top power on the Azure World, renowned for the Formation Dao.

Chu Tiange was a Formation Dao Saint King, incredibly powerful. He had once set up a world-shattering killing formation to eliminate a Saint King of the same realm.

However, the Divine Path Sect had been annihilated a thousand years ago. So what was going on now?

Zhou Qiongtian remained Zhou Qiongtian, unaffected by Chu Tiange's memories. He immediately realized this was due to the formation, that he had been drawn into it.

Was this an illusion, or something else? Was Lin Tian also here?

Zhou Qiongtian now looked like Chu Tiange, but his cultivation was only at the Cycle Early Stage.

"System?" Zhou Qiongtian called out softly.

[Ding! Present, Host.]

Zhou Qiongtian breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that the System was still functioning.

"So, I'm impersonating Chu Tiange now, but what am I supposed to do?" Zhou Qiongtian frowned, completely at a loss.

Meanwhile, Lin Tian had also transformed into Chu Tiange. He had no injuries, and the Demon God Core was not on him. However, Lin Tian wasn't flustered at all; instead, a look of pleasant surprise appeared on his face.

Chu Tiange's inheritance was here. This inheritance was originally supposed to be obtained by a Formation Dao prodigy three hundred years later. Lin Tian was familiar with that prodigy, and by chance, the prodigy had told Lin Tian about it.

This was an illusion formation set up by Chu Tiange. Within this illusion formation, Lin Tian would play Chu Tiange, experiencing his life. During this process, he would learn Formation Dao knowledge. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The Divine Path Sect's attainments in the Formation Dao were still extremely formidable among Formation Dao sects even five hundred years later. If he could obtain Chu Tiange's inheritance, it would be absolutely wonderful for Lin Tian.

Not only that, but after obtaining Chu Tiange's inheritance, Lin Tian could temporarily control this formation. Although its power had diminished significantly after a thousand years, and Lin Tian was only at the late Spirit Connection stage, meaning he could only exert limited power from the formation, it would definitely be enough to stop Zhou Qiongtian. Then, he could escape.

He might even heavily injure Zhou Qiongtian, which would give him some peace for a while, allowing him to focus on grinding monsters and leveling up.

That's right, Lin Tian never thought of using this grand formation to kill Zhou Qiongtian; that was unrealistic.

As the Young Master of the Zhou Family and the son of the Savage Great Emperor, Zhou Qiongtian definitely had many life-saving treasures on him. Killing him would be harder than killing a Saint King.

"Junior Brother Chu, you've come here again..." Ye Xueqi walked up to Lin Tian with a smile.

A flood of memories related to Chu Tiange surged within him, and Lin Tian instantly understood.

"Senior Sister, I'm going to study formations." Lin Tian got up with a flip and immediately rushed towards Chu Tiange's master, the Sect Master of the Divine Path Sect.

"Strange, why would Junior Brother Chu take the initiative to study formations today? Did something stimulate him?" Ye Xueqi muttered to herself, looking surprised.

On the other side, Zhou Qiongtian fell into deep thought. Lin Tian was a reborn individual who knew about the future. He had come here, and Zhou Qiongtian was certain that Lin Tian absolutely knew about this formation.

He might even know how to break it and was currently trying to do so. In fact, Zhou Qiongtian's guess was correct; Lin Tian was indeed trying to break the formation.

This was a good opportunity. Lin Tian's Destiny already had a trace of dark fortune, indicating a risk of his demise. He had a chance to kill Lin Tian!

Zhou Qiongtian had initially wanted to use the Heaven-Asking Talisman to find out how to break the formation, but this grand formation was set up by a Supreme Being. Law Power permeated its interior, making it difficult for the Heaven-Asking Talisman to work.

"System, is there anything that can help me resolve my current predicament? Recommend something!"

[Formation Breaking Talisman: Can break Saint Tier formations, and has some effect on Venerable Tier formations. Price: 40,000 Destiny Points.]

[Spatial Shift Talisman: Teleport away, ignoring space. Location is random. Price: 20,000 Destiny Points.]

[Death Curse Technique: Soul Dao divine ability. Uses the target's belongings as a medium to cast a death curse, directly attacking the divine soul and annihilating the enemy. Price: 30,000 Destiny Points.]

[Destiny Guidance: Dao of Fortune divine ability. Destiny subtly guides the caster towards the most beneficial plan, gradually leading the caster to gain benefits. Note: There is a certain chance of failure. Price: 30,000 Destiny Points.]

[...]

The System recommended many items, all of which could help with his current predicament to some extent, but none offered absolute certainty.

Among them, the Formation Breaking Talisman seemed the most effective, but it could only break a portion of it. If it wasn't the part he needed, it would be a huge loss.

Next, the Death Curse Technique also made Zhou Qiongtian a little tempted; he quite liked this divine ability.

It might be useful against other opponents, but his opponent was a Child of Destiny. The possibility of killing him with a curse was almost zero. It might have some effect, but it would never be fatal.

"System, exchange for Destiny Guidance!"

[Ding: 30,000 Destiny Points deducted. Destiny Guidance divine ability exchanged successfully!]

Losing 30,000 Destiny Points at once made Zhou Qiongtian's heart ache. Already poor, he became even poorer.

However, as long as he could kill Lin Tian, it would all be worth it.

Zhou Qiongtian immediately activated the Destiny Guidance divine ability. He didn't notice any changes.

"Did it fail?"

The Destiny Guidance divine ability had a certain chance of failure. Had it failed on his first attempt? Was he that unlucky?

Zhou Qiongtian then used the Fortune Sensing Divine Ability and was stunned by what he saw in his pillar of Destiny.

His pillar of Destiny was immense, soaring towards the heavens. Beside the pillar of Destiny, a thin golden thread was wrapped around it. This thread was tiny, like a toothpick compared to the pillar of Destiny.

If one didn't look closely, they might easily overlook it.

Had it succeeded?

But Zhou Qiongtian didn't relax; instead, his brow furrowed, and his expression turned grim.

This was because the black flames beneath his pillar of Destiny were more violent and larger than before.

Although it was still small compared to the entire pillar of destiny, Zhou Qiongtian felt a mist covering his head.

What exactly was this black flame? Could it be some kind of disaster?

Zhou Qiongtian couldn't figure it out no matter how he thought about it, so he stopped thinking and looked at Ye Xueqi with a slight smile.

Ye Xueqi suddenly said, "Oh, right, Junior Brother Chu, I found a handwritten note in my father's collection earlier. Tucked inside was a treasure map that seems to record the inheritance site of a senior. How about we go take a look?"

Zhou Qiongtian was slightly taken aback. In Chu Tiange's memories, Ye Xueqi was very adventurous and often explored secret realms. Despite frequently encountering danger, she never tired of it.

This time, Ye Xueqi proposed exploring the inheritance site partly due to her own passion, and partly because she wanted to cheer Zhou Qiongtian up. After all, the Sect Master had been putting a lot of pressure on him these past two days.

"Sure, when should we leave?" Zhou Qiongtian slowly stood up and asked.

"Let's go now. I can't wait," she said.
