When I thought of this, I decided not to continue reinforcing the grand formation. I even removed the formation eye that had already loosened. I then returned to the Medicine Field, where Song Ruo and Yan Zhen had already harvested half a hectare. That was already an incredibly fast pace.
I did not join the harvesting team. Instead, I continued toward the waterfall entrance to monitor the cage. The other side was still breaking through the formation at an astonishing speed. While observing the process, I also studied their numbers.
The more I investigated, the more alarming my conclusion became. I discovered that there might be seven or eight of them. This result came from the feedback the cage received when power was embedded into the formation eye. It was twice as many as the four or five I had initially estimated. Once gathered together, such a force would be enough to destroy heaven and earth.
Of course, I could not change the grand formation's arrangement now. During the process of breaking through the formation, the cage had lost its ability to adjust. On top of that, the energy formation stones were sending back feedback far too frequently, leaving me no chance to act. Otherwise, if they had stopped even for a quarter of an hour, I could have reverse-engineered the code and made them guess incorrectly—or think they had already tried it.
After waiting for roughly half a quarter of an hour, those eight Dao-Proving Realm existences still showed no sign of stopping. They tried frantically to break through the formation like machines, probably knowing that the temptation within was enough to make them give it their all.
Moreover, the leaders of the five sects' Enforcement Halls were among them. How could they possibly give up on the rescue?
