Sen Lijiu skimmed through the book, taking in ten lines at a glance. After learning the history of the Flower Fairy World and the nature of the so-called mysterious power, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.
So this was the mysterious power. How laughable—and how tragic.
After reading for quite some time, Sen Lijiu felt a little tired and decided to go outside and take a break.
That outing led Sen Lijiu to an interesting discovery.
While strolling through the Ancient Spirit Fairy Clan's grounds, Sen Lijiu happened upon a mysterious garden tucked away in a secluded spot.
Surrounded by lush vegetation and ancient stone pillars, the garden exuded an air of mystery and tranquility.
Upon entering the garden, Sen Lijiu was surprised to find many Flower Fairies hidden there, forgotten by time.
Some slumbered among the flowers, while others lay frozen within crystals, seemingly cut off from the world.
A faint glow emanated from these Flower Fairies, as though telling of their past glory and stories.
At the garden's entrance, Sen Lijiu noticed a peculiar sealing formation.
The formation looked very familiar, reminding him of a certain sealing formation described in an ancient text he had once read at Jun Yi's place.
Upon closer inspection, however, he discovered that the formation before him differed slightly from the book's description—it had a few additional lines.
Driven by curiosity, Sen Lijiu began studying the sealing formation.
After some thought and experimentation, he gradually came to understand its intricacies:
Those additional strokes were not arbitrary. They cleverly altered the flow of energy through the formation, ensuring that it would not harm the Flower Fairies within. Instead, it created a powerful protective barrier that kept outside disturbances and dangers at bay.
Sen Lijiu silently marveled at the wisdom and creativity of those who had come before him.
This mysterious garden and the Flower Fairies within might hold an unknown chapter of history, and this unique sealing formation was the key to safeguarding it.
The Flower Fairies in this garden must hold positions of great importance. Otherwise, no one would have used such an exquisite formation to seal the entrance, Sen Lijiu mused.
Moreover, after a careful inspection, he was astonished to discover that the entire garden formed a regular hexagon!
Even more astonishing was that, besides the massive formation at the very center that served as the entrance, six smaller formations had been placed at each of the six corners!
These formations were clearly not arranged at random. Some subtle, complex connection seemed to link them, as though they formed a tightly knit, complete defensive system.
Sen Lijiu could not help deeply admiring the designer's wisdom and care, but he also realized that breaking through these formations would be no easy task.
The formation had successfully piqued Sen Lijiu's interest. After all, one of his older brothers was exceptionally skilled in the art of formations and even possessed the great Dao law of formations.
Naturally, under his brother's gradual influence, Sen Lijiu had also developed considerable skill in formations. He could not compare with his older brothers, but he ranked among the very best beneath them.
There was simply no helping it! Sen Lijiu's older brothers were far too extraordinary. Ordinary people could not possibly compare with them!
They were practically gods descended to earth, blessed with unparalleled talent and ability. Whatever they did, they accomplished it effortlessly and with ease.
Just thinking about the gap between himself and his older brothers gave Sen Lijiu a headache.
