On the Learning of Divine Beasts

About fifty meters away from Ma Feifei, Chang Kong stopped and looked around, occasionally squatting down to touch the barren soil on the ground.

A moment later, Chang Kong stood up, gathered wisps of Spiritual Power in his hands, and pushed forward with his palm.

"Buzz~"

Halfway through the push, Chang Kong's hand seemed to touch something. A faint light shield appeared out of thin air, emitting a buzzing sound. Chang Kong was forced back three steps by the buzzing sound. Ma Feifei sharp eyes, saw blood flowing from Chang Kong's palm.

"This divine-level formation rebounds upon contact, and the more Spiritual Power used, the stronger the rebound will be," Ba Jiu explained to Ma Feifei upon seeing this.

Chang Kong didn't seem to have given up and wanted to continue studying the formation.

"Elder Chang Kong," Ma Feifei said, stopping Chang Kong.

"Teacher, give me a little more time." Chang Kong said earnestly, thinking that Ma Feifei was dissatisfied with his failure to break the formation.

Ma Feifei shook his head, stepped forward, and said, "It's useless. If this formation could be broken, that dragon wouldn't have been injured by it."

A Divine Beast has lived for over 30,000 years, setting aside its strength, its knowledge far surpasses that of any cultivator on the Azure Dragon Continent. After all, according to the timeline, this is a Divine Beast that has lived since ancient times.

Even Divine Beast couldn't break this formation, which is enough to prove its formidable power. Yun Qingyang is a descendant of the ancient Frost Giant Dragon, and this formation was set up by her father. How could a formation set up by the Frost Giant Dragon, one of the ten ancient Divine Beast, be easily broken by ordinary people like them?

Not to mention that Chang Kong is only a Ninth-tier formation master; it would be truly miraculous if he could break through a god-level array.

Chang Kong knew that his chances of breaking the formation were extremely slim. Hearing Ma Feifei say this, he could only sigh in reluctance and gave up searching for a way to break the formation.

"Elder Chang Kong, please step back a bit." Ma Feifei stood in front of the formation, gesturing for Chang Kong to retreat.

"Teacher, this formation has a rebound effect. If Sheer Force break it, we might suffer a backlash from our own power," Chang Kong said worriedly. He had only used less than one percent of his Spiritual Power to test it just now, but his hand was still injured by the rebound force, which meant that the force of the formation's rebound was greater than the force of the formation itself.

"It's alright, step back a bit," Ma Feifei waved his hand dismissively.

Upon hearing this, Chang Kong could only follow orders and take a few steps back, but not too far, ending up sandwiched between Ma Feifei and Ba Jiu.

Ma Feifei didn't say much, but instead extended his left index finger and gently poked at the now-vanished light barrier.

"Buzz~"

The array lit up again, but this time it didn't bounce Ma Feifei's index finger back, nor did it cause any damage. Ma Feifei's index finger remained on the light barrier, feeling the magical power emanating from it.

"It really works!" Ma Feifei poked the light shield and said happily.

The reason Ma Feifei wanted to come up and try was because he had signed Blood Pact with Yun Qingyang and obtained the Dragon God Arm. In a sense, Ma Feifei was also a half-dragon, and should be the same species as Yun Qingyang.

So since this is where Yun Qingyang lives, Yun Qingyang can come and go as she pleases, then this formation must have the function of identifying bloodlines. It shouldn't just be targeting Yun Qingyang alone, but anyone with the bloodline of the Frost Giant Dragon can enter.

In this way, Ma Feifei, as a human who had signed Blood Pact with Yun Qingyang, would naturally not be blocked by this formation.

Chang Kong was behind him, was also extremely surprised to see that Ma Feifei was not affected by this divine-level formation. He looked at everything in disbelief.

"Could it be that Teacher's cultivation level has reached such a high point that even divine-level formations can be ignored?"

There are usually only two ways to break a formation. One is to find the key point of the formation by understanding it and break it. The other is to use Superpower to break the formation. This method requires a very high level of skill from the person breaking the formation. Generally speaking, the person's cultivation level must be several minor levels higher than that of the formation to be able to do it.

Not to mention this kind of divine formation; so far, no cultivator on the Azure Dragon Continent could Sheer Force break this formation.

Unlike Chang Kong's shock, Ba Jiu looked at Ma Feifei's outstretched hand with a puzzled expression. "Why does this aura feel somewhat familiar?"

"Buzz~"

Just as they were all lost in their own thoughts, the divine array suddenly burst forth with a dazzling light, and then Ma Feifei 'whooshed' inside.

"Oh! They actually came in." Ma Feifei was also startled, looking left and right before looking up at the Ice Crystal Palace in front of her.

"Teacher, are you alright?" Chang Kong took two steps forward, trying to rush in.

"Po~"

The light shield instantly blasted Chang Kong away.

"I'm perfectly fine, there's never been a better moment than this! You all wait for me outside!" Ma Feifei said, jumping up excitedly and running towards the Ice Crystal Palace with outstretched arms, repeatedly chanting, "Spirit Crystal Palace, I'm coming!"

"..."

"Why is Master so happy?" the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey asked in confusion. After these days of learning, the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey could now communicate normally with everyone in human language.

"They probably saw that Spirit Crystal palace! I've heard that humans cultivate using Spirit Crystal," Ba Jiu said uncertainly.

"Oh, I see! I have so many of these at home too, this is the first time I'm giving them to my master," the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey said happily.

"It's not 'first time,' it's 'back,' you've read it backwards," Ba Jiu corrected earnestly.

"I'm not wrong. You're only three months old, what do you know?" The Sky-reaching Ape Monkey insisted on its principles, glancing at Biao Ba Jiu with disdain.

Because they are both Divine Beasts, they spend a lot of time together and know each other well. Ba Jiu only three months old, the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey could easily understand them.

"You're wrong. Haven't you heard the saying, 'Among three people walking together, there must be one who can teach me'? Knowledge cannot be judged by age," Ba Jiu explained earnestly.

"Among three people walking together, there must be one who can teach me? I've never heard of that. Where did you hear that from?" the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey asked in confusion.

"Uh..." Upon hearing this, Ba Jiu was about to reply when he suddenly froze, a look of suspicion on his face. He put his finger in his mouth and bit it, pondering, "Hmm... where did I hear that from?"

Chang Kong, who was bounced back to the two by the light shield, got up and dusted himself off. Hearing their conversation, he subconsciously looked up at Ba Jiu with a curious expression.
