Death Shadow is a total goofball!
Yang Zhen was once again certain of Death Shadow's persona. He really didn't know how this guy had managed to become Death Shadow; was his previous fierce and menacing demeanor all an act?
Upon hearing Yang Zhen's words, Gong Sanhe was startled. He looked at Yang Zhen hesitantly and asked, "What did you see, young friend Yang Decao?"
Yang Zhen was taken aback, then remembered that he was now Yang Decao. He said "Oh," and pointed to the double dragon formation in mid-air, saying, "Here, the double dragons are suspended like earth spikes. Senior, come to my direction. The true double dragon formation is a double dragon winding a road, but the mouths of the double dragons here are faintly facing the direction of the two Ancient War God at the entrance. What does this mean?"
Gong Sanhe's expression hardened, and he said, "This means that the two Ancient War God are echoing the twin dragons, and between them lies... the Land of the Dead Dragons?"
"And what's more, this canyon is full of Three Lives Flower!"
Yang Zhen's words stunned everyone present, then their expressions changed drastically. Even Death Shadow, an outsider, frowned and said in a deep voice, "This is a setup?"
Gong Sanhe nodded. "A game within a game, the Three Lives Dragon Rock Formation!"
What is meant by the " Three Lives Dragon Rock Formation "?
The Death Shadow could sense something strange, but he didn't understand the terminology. However, even without understanding it, the name "Three Lives Dragon Rock Formation" was enough to send chills down one's spine.
How could someone create such a terrifying Three Lives Dragon Rock Formation using the location of the Heavenly Secret Lock? What is their background?
What kind of terrifying cultivation level is that?
With Yang Zhen's current strength, he could create two statues that are several thousand feet tall, but it would take him at least half a year to complete them. They would be too big, and Yang Zhen wouldn't be so bored as to create a statue of an Ancient War God.
Ancient War God, beings that only exist in legends, or rather, gods— Yang Zhen had never even heard of them before. How was he supposed to get one?
The person who designed this statue not only heard of it, but also seemed to have seen it before, or at least seen a portrait of it, because the two statues had no fullness at all and looked like a flat surface.
Even so, such terrifying methods are still shocking.
All eyes turned to Yang Zhen, even Gong Sanhe looked on incredulously. "This... Young friend Yang Decao, what should we do in this situation?"
Yang Zhen pondered for a moment. This was a difficult situation. Even if they got in, what if they stumbled upon this person's scheme? Could they possibly come out alive?
Furthermore, since the Heavenly Secret Lock has already been compromised, is there Qi of One Purity left within it?
To be honest, by now, Yang Zhen was already considering turning around and leaving this place.
Damn it, these guys from ten thousand years ago, or even earlier, are all more mysterious and have more extraordinary abilities than the last. They're using the Nine Heavenly Secret Sites to set up schemes—how are we supposed to survive?
However, since he had already come this far, Yang Zhen felt somewhat unwilling to leave without going in and taking a look.
What kind of all-powerful being could orchestrate a scheme involving heaven and earth, and even bring the Nine Heavenly Secret Sites into play?
Yang Zhen took a deep breath and looked at Gong Sanhe and Death Shadow, saying, "Now, the Heavenly Secret Lock may no longer contain the Qi of One Purity, and it may have been turned into a deadly trap. Under these circumstances, do you still want to go in?"
Try to persuade them if you can, and once they leave, Yang Zhen will be able to go in alone.
Gong Sanhe pondered for a moment, then said with a smile to Yang Zhen, "We appreciate Young Yang Decao's kindness, but now that we've come this far, I'll feel somewhat unwilling to leave without going inside the Heavenly Secret Lock to take a look."
The Death Shadow also laughed heartily, saying, "I knew it, I knew it..."
"Shut up!"
Yang Zhen glared at this disrespectful old man. He could have acted like a senior expert, but he insisted on being a fool.
Death Shadow stood obediently to the side, winked at Gong Sanhe, and pointed to his own eyes, implying that his eyes were Niu Bi.
Ding Chun walked out with a frown and said to Gong Sanhe, " Elder Gong, although this place has been set up by someone, when I came in just now, I found that the two statues actually had no energy fluctuations. Why don't we use the Earth Treasury Technique to deceive everyone and cover up the statues? Wouldn't that break the trap?"
Gong Sanhe nodded with a smile and said approvingly, "The idea is good, but I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult."
"Why?" Ding Chun asked, looking surprised.
Why?
Yang Zhen stared blankly at Ding Chun. Seeing Ding Chun's commanding manner, Yang Zhen suddenly thought of her high school teacher for some reason.
Back then, the phrase Yang Zhen heard most often from her high school teachers was, "Don't just study by rote!"
Reading books blindly is not as good as reading books in a dead way; reading books in a dead way is not as good as reading books in a living way; reading books in a living way is not as good as reading books in a lively way.
Yang Zhen remembered those words for the rest of his life, and even after he came to the Cultivation World, Yang Zhen still remembered them.
It's obvious that Ding Chun is the type who only studies by rote.
It's true that the Earth Treasury Technique can conceal the two Ancient War God statues, but who could actually do that?
Unless one can achieve a cultivation level or realm similar to that of the person who orchestrated the plan, even if everyone present absorbed the entire Heavenly Book: Earth Treasury Chapter, they still wouldn't be able to do it.
The difference in their cultivation levels is too great, and it's all orchestrated by the Nine Heavenly Secret Sites Bureau. How can they possibly succeed?
Yang Zhen was completely baffled; he couldn't do it.
After Gong Sanhe finished explaining to Ding Chun, Ding Chun's face turned bright red, and she stood there silently, looking dejected. However, at least he had given her a direction. Yang Zhen patted Ding Chun on the shoulder and said, "Well said."
"Why... why?" Ding Chun asked, looking puzzled.
Wen Yuning looked at Yang Zhen with curiosity, thinking that Yang Zhen was comforting Ding Chun, when suddenly her eyes lit up.
Why?
Yang Zhen blinked and said to Ding Chun, "Because this Sage of Saunter has found a way."
"What? You found a way? What way?" Ding Chun asked incredulously.
Gong Sanhe and Death Shadow were also completely dumbfounded, staring at Yang Zhen in Celestial Person.
"Hahaha..." The Death Shadow laughed loudly.
Yang Zhen and Gong Sanhe glared at each other simultaneously. "Shut up!"
The Death Shadow shut his mouth, looking bored, and then curiously examined Yang Zhen.
Gong Sanhe also looked surprised.
Yang Zhen, through a single ambiguous statement from Death Shadow, actually entered a state of enlightenment, comprehending the True Form Tide of the Mara Sect's ancestor, the Tide. Now, after hearing Ding Chun's seemingly impossible statement, has he found a way to break the deadlock?
Is this... is this even human?
Gong Sanhe looked Yang Zhen up and down with a bewildered expression, and asked in surprise, "What do you want to do?"
Yang Zhen took a deep breath and said, "Since we can't break the Three Lives Dragon Rock Formation, then let's change it!"
"Change this situation?" Gong Sanhe exclaimed, "Impossible!"
This time, even Death Shadow scoffed and shook his head. "Boy, although I'm not very familiar with the Earth Treasury Art, changing a situation is more difficult than breaking one. Are you sure you can do it?"
Gong Sanhe stared intently at Yang Zhen from the side. "How confident are you? Thirty percent? Or twenty percent?"
Yang Zhen squinted and looked at the cliffs on both sides. The two dragons were imposing and terrifying, and a hidden aura was gathered within them, making people's hair stand on end.
"Fifty percent!"
Yang Zhen took a deep breath and asked, "Is it worth trying?"
Gong Sanhe's eyes lit up with surprise, and he quickly said, "Of course!"
The Shadow of Death Shadow's eyes were also filled with shock. He opened his mouth, then muttered to himself, "I knew it, I..."
