Qian Shanyong said, "Does anyone have any ideas? To be honest, I don't know where the core of the divine array is either. Now that we've come this far, turning back is impossible. The only way we can escape is to find the core of the divine array; otherwise, we'll be trapped here to die."
He has returned to normal, showing no signs of emotional fluctuation, as if he were talking about someone else's affairs.
Chiming couldn't help but jump up again, but Li Qiang quickly stopped him, saying first, "Master Gan... Uncle Gan... I really admire you, old man. Alright, now is the time for everyone to work together. Speak your mind quickly, the pressure here seems to be getting heavier and heavier."
Xuan Long said, "Divine formations are always unpredictable. Does Lord Gan have no preparations at all?"
Qian Shanyong struggled to control the Wrath of the Heavenly God and said calmly, "In this world, if there is anything that makes my immortal heart unable to control itself, the Ancient Divine Formation should be one of them. Ever since I learned the secret of the Ancient Divine Formation, I have always wanted to test it. I had also considered the dangers, so I never dared to go. It was only after obtaining the Wrath of the Heavenly God that I was truly tempted. I just never expected that the array would be like this."
Dainan Fengyu said, "Let's fly in one direction and see if we can trigger the formation and get us to the core."
Chiming curled his lip and said, "This idea... is indeed... a terrible idea. There's no worse idea than this..."
Dainan Fengyu was so angry that he raised his hand to slap him, Chiming shrank back and said, "Hey, you can't fight here! Safety first!"
Li Qiang couldn't help but laugh, "Sister Fengyu, don't pay any attention to this brat. If you get angry, you'll fall for his trick... But I agree with Xiao Ming's suggestion. Sister Fengyu, your idea is really bad."
Dainan Fengyu knew she had spoken too casually and hadn't thought much of it. She gave a coquettish snort and turned her head away, ignoring them.
Qian Shanyong asked, "Brother, what are your thoughts? Tell me." He valued Li Qiang's ideas quite a bit.
To everyone's surprise, Li Qiang said, " Old Qian, I have no ideas right now. There are only two paths in the divine formation: one is the path to survival, and the other is the path to death. If we don't know where the path to survival is, we're basically doomed. So, I have no ideas."
Xuan Long shook his head and said, "There's no choice. The most unpredictable formation is the divine formation. Many of its changes are beyond our control. Divine formations are far more profound than immortal formations. Non-Self with the insight of Heavenly Lord can master them."
He looked around and saw that the clusters of colorful light had turned into vortexes, appearing and disappearing unpredictably. He didn't know what kind of dangers were hidden within them, nor where the way out was. A sense of powerlessness welled up from the bottom of his heart.
For a moment, no one knew what to say. Everyone remained still, waiting quietly. Without understanding the situation, even these experienced experts would not act rashly.
The external pressure seemed to have reached its limit, and everyone noticed that the pressure was no longer increasing. Qian Shanyong a slight sigh of relief; if the pressure continued to increase, it would be difficult for him to hold on for long.
Of the group, Qian Shanyong was finding it the most difficult. Everyone else remained silent, but he alone had to control the Wrath of the Heavenly God to protect everyone. He couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Speak up! Does anyone have a solution?"
Chiming chuckled and said, "That's right, all of you, speak up! Are you all mute? Hurry up! Hurry up! Old Qian can't hold on much longer."
Li Qiang said thoughtfully, "We can only wait..."
Qian Shanyong cried out, "We can't wait! My power... cannot withstand the Wrath of the Heavenly God for long!" He was truly anxious.
Xuan Long said, "Lord Gan, let's wait and see; perhaps things will change."
Qian Shanyong knew he had a point, but he was becoming increasingly uncertain. He said helplessly, "If I can't hold on, we'll all be in big trouble."
Li Qiang said, " Old Qian, try touching that vortex with the Wrath of the Heavenly God..." He pointed to a rotating colorful light not far away.
Qian Shanyong hesitated for a moment. "What do you mean?" He looked at Li Qiang, thinking to himself, "Touching anything here is extremely dangerous. Does he want to break this deadlock?"
Xuan Long advised, "Don't touch it... It's better to wait. We can talk about it only if there's absolutely no other way."
Li Qiang said, "Actually, waiting here is also a good option, because..." He suddenly stopped talking.
Chiming glared at him and said, "Big brother, don't leave things unsaid. Why?"
Qian Shanyong suddenly understood Li Qiang's meaning, and he said softly, " Azure Emperor!"
Dainan Fengyu's eyes lit up and she said, "Yes, the Azure Emperor will definitely enter the divine array, we... oh dear..." She suddenly realized something was wrong; almost no one here wanted to see the Azure Emperor, so she immediately stopped talking.
Qian Shanyong shook his head and said, "As long as there's even a sliver of hope, I don't want to see the Azure Emperor for the time being. Alas!"
Li Qiang thought for a moment and asked, "Is this divine array just for teleportation... or does it have another function?"
Qian Shanyong shook his head and said, "I don't know."
This time, even Li Qiang had the urge to beat someone up.
For the first time, Qian Shanyong felt a little ashamed. He smiled sheepishly and said, "I didn't expect the Ancient Divine Formation to be so monstrous. I was careless. When I heard others talking about it, I thought it was easy, so I didn't pay much attention."
Li Qiang suddenly realized that Qian Shanyong wasn't so scary after all. It was truly unexpected that such a shrewd immortal could make a mistake. He comforted him, "Brother Qian, if this Ancient Divine Formation is purely a teleportation array, we will definitely reach the core. If not, then there are only two paths, each with a 50/50 chance of success. So... we have at least a 60-70% chance of success. I think we can give it a try."
Chiming said dismissively, "Brother, there's still 30% left... We're all doomed!"
Xuan Long thought for a moment and said, "It's worth a try. Nothing in this world is ever completely certain. I agree with my opinion, brother."
Chiming wanted to say something more, but he held back. He couldn't think of a better solution, so he had no choice but to listen to everyone's decision.
Qian Shanyong gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I'm going all in. Everyone hold your positions and charge with me!"
One vortex after another was shattered by the immense power of the Wrath of the Heavenly God, but strangely, nothing happened. The five of them continued their frantic journey forward.
Qian Shanyong could hardly believe it. Entering was so difficult, but flying within the divine array was so easy. As he flew, he reminded everyone, "Be careful, it's too calm. Something's not right."
Upon hearing Qian Shanyong's telepathic message, Li Qiang also said, "I also feel something's wrong. Everyone be careful!"
The shattered vortex of colorful light transformed into streaks of light that moved through the air. The more it shattered, the more streaks of light appeared, and gradually, a wave-like stream of light formed behind the group.
Li Qiang suddenly turned around and was surprised to find that waves of light were crashing towards him from behind like rolling giant waves. He hurriedly shouted telepathically, " Old Qian, speed up! Something's wrong behind us!"
Qian Shanyong turned his head and immediately sped up. He recognized the surging thing behind him; it was called the Flowing Silk Tide, and once you got caught in it, it was hard to get out.
Xuan Long and Dainan Fengyu also saw the surging tide behind them. As the speed increased, the Flowing Silk Tide gradually approached the group.
Qian Shanyong frantically increased his speed, and the five of them, like shooting stars, plummeted rapidly into the depths of the divine array.
As the five people increased their speed, the speed of the Flowing Silk Tide also increased, as they were driving the Flowing Silk Tide.
The Ancient Divine Formation is an independent space. Given Qian Shanyong's speed, and the fact that he uses a divine artifact as a Law Treasure of flight, his speed has reached an astonishing level. Even those shrouded in the Wrath of the Heavenly God felt immense pressure.
Even at this speed, it was still impossible to shake off the Flowing Silk Tide behind it.
Qian Shanyong was exhausted. Controlling the Wrath of the Heavenly God was too taxing on his energy. He was gradually feeling the strain of flying at such a high speed. He transmitted his voice, "Brother Li, you take over. I can't hold on any longer. Chiming, get ready. The three of us will take turns leading the flight."
After all, Li Qiang and Chiming both possessed divine artifacts, and only these artifacts could withstand the immense pressure from the surroundings. Therefore, Qian Shanyong could only rely on Li Qiang and Chiming to give himself time to catch his breath and recover.
Li Qiang and Chiming had been eager to try for a long time. With a master protecting them, they could undergo training in the divine formation relatively safely, which was a rare opportunity.
Li Qiang spoke first, "I'll do it! I'll do it! Xiao Ming, you get ready... Brother Xuan Long, don't let the formation dissipate! Old Qian, let's switch positions!"
The golden light of the Ninefold Evolving Gilt Flowing Jade burst forth, enveloping everyone as Ninefold Evolving Gilt Qian Shanyong the Wrath of the Heavenly God.
In an instant, Li Qiang felt as if he had been struck by a giant cone, and was almost knocked unconscious. He was secretly shocked. No wonder Qian Shanyong couldn't hold on. This enormous pressure was simply beyond human resistance.
Li Qiang not only had to withstand this pressure, but also maintain the flying speed that Qian Shanyong had just maintained. Now he was truly experiencing the taste of pain.
Xuan Long asked with concern, "Brother, is it alright?"
Everyone could see Li Qiang's condition; his face was red and his neck was thick as he pointed at Ninefold Evolving Gilt, his whole body trembling, clearly showing that he was struggling greatly.
After finally stabilizing, Li Qiang had used up almost half of his power in just a short while. He glanced back at the Flowing Silk Tide behind him. Strangely, as their speed slowed down, the Flowing Silk Tide behind them also slowed down, but they got even closer.
After Qian Shanyong stepped down, he instructed Xuan Long to use the golden rope to secure himself and immediately begin cultivating. Everyone knew that he was about to collapse, but this would surely greatly increase his power. It should be noted that Luo Heaven High Immortal usually do not have many opportunities to exert their full strength, so exhausting them is an extremely difficult task.
Li Qiang charged forward desperately, but soon he felt his body go limp. The pressure was so great it could drive anyone crazy, and he tried his best to hold on.
He didn't know how long he had been flying, but the scene ahead remained the same: countless vortexes of colorful light kept breaking open, and each time a vortex broke open, it was a test for Li Qiang.
Qian Shanyong quickly recovered his strength, but he was unwilling to give up this rare opportunity and continued to cultivate as soon as possible.
Soon, Li Qiang also couldn't hold on any longer, but he also realized the benefits of it: the external pressure could almost completely exhaust his own strength, and if someone could take his place, it was the safest and fastest way to practice.
When Chiming replaced Li Qiang, Qian Shanyong finally finished his cultivation. He was pleasantly surprised to find that he had actually broken through his current realm. He couldn't help but want to shout a few times to vent his joy.
His cultivation level was extremely high, and it would be very difficult for him to advance further. Unexpectedly, he succeeded in the Ancient Divine Formation.
After Li Qiang stepped down, he remained silent and immediately began cultivating.
Qian Shanyong couldn't help but smile slightly, secretly praising Li Qiang for being shrewd.
The three took turns being the vanguard, while Xuan Long and Dainan Fengyu seemed quite relaxed. Qian Shanyong, Li Qiang, and Chiming were not in a hurry; such a good place for cultivation would be hard to find again in the future. Therefore, the three of them began their intensive cultivation journey to their hearts' content.
Xuan Long and Dainan Fengyu were dumbfounded as they watched the three men's power increase dramatically, especially Li Qiang and Chiming, whose improvement was very obvious. What used to be a short time for the two of them could now last for a long time.
As time went by, Xuan Long began to worry. They had been flying blindly forward without seeing their destination, while Qian Shanyong, Li Qiang, and Chiming seemed completely unconcerned, taking turns to go forward at their own leisurely pace. This made Xuanlong both anxious and angry.
He knew that in the Ancient Divine Formation, everyone would be doomed if they were not careful, but what discouraged him was that he couldn't make a move at all.
Dainan Fengyu was speechless. She was the one who suffered the most during this trip to Xinbo Cape, as she basically had no chance to make a move. She was a very proud female immortal. Although she regretted coming to Xinbo Cape with Qian Shanyong, there was no going back now, and she became much more silent because of this.
After another substitution, Qian Shanyong replaced Chiming and said, "This isn't working. There's definitely something wrong with our current strategy."
Li Qiang had just finished his cultivation and said with a smug smile, "I know... but this is a rare opportunity, don't you think, Old Qian?"
Qian Shanyong said, "You know? Then tell me quickly. Although the opportunity to cultivate is good now, it's too dangerous. How should we get there?"
He was so anxious he lost his mind. If Li Qiang had known which way to go earlier, he wouldn't have waited until now.
Sure enough, Li Qiang said with a grin, "Turn around and charge into the Flowing Silk Tide."
Qian Shanyong, and he felt that Li Qiang's words made sense. Following the current path was indeed not a solution. Only by finding out the changes in the Ancient Divine Formation could they possibly unravel its mysteries.
He decided to let go; having come this far, there was no point in holding back. He said, "Alright, once Chihe and Shuming recover, we'll turn around immediately and test the power of the Flowing Silk Tide."
Li Qiang felt excellent. This almost extreme training method was very much in line with the Heart of Madness realm. He hadn't expected that he could achieve the same training effect without fighting others. No wonder those powerful experts liked to travel around in addition to meditation. This training method was indeed very effective, but without a certain level of strength, one could not try it, otherwise one would not even know how one died.
Xuan Long and Dainan Fengyu also agreed that it was better to turn back and challenge Flowing Silk Tide than to run wildly like this.
Li Qiang said, "We need to hurry, or we might run into Azure Emperor and the others."
In fact, Li Qiang was not opposed to meeting the Azure Emperor. The Azure Emperor was a legendary figure in the Cultivation Realm, and he was eager to meet him. However, he did not want to cause any trouble before rescuing Qi Junsha and Mo Huaiyuan.
Qian Shanyong said, "There's no time to wait. Who will help Chiming circulate his internal energy so he can recover quickly?"
Xuan Long and Dainan Fengyu didn't hesitate to channel their energy together, sacrificing their own immortal spiritual power to help Chiming. The two of them had been idle for a long time and were getting impatient.
In just a moment, Chiming opened his eyes, grinning happily, "Thank you, thank you!" He thought to himself, "Using my power to help me, I thought only my elder brother would do something so foolish. I didn't expect Xuan Long and Dainan Fengyu to do it too."
The five changed formation, with Qian Shanyong in front, Li Qiang above, Chiming below, and Xuan Long and Dainan Fengyu on the left and right respectively. The five formed a plum blossom-shaped battle formation and turned back to rush towards Flowing Silk Tide behind them.
Qian Shanyong exerted all his strength to enhance the power of the Wrath of the Heavenly God, and dazzling golden light shone from his body.
Because everyone was enveloped in golden light, they could not see the shape of the Wrath of the Heavenly God. If someone saw it from a distance, they would be very surprised. It was an indescribable, violent form, as if it were a world-destroying force that forced the Flowing Silk Tide to split to both sides.
Two golden triangles faintly extended from Qian Shanyong's shoulders, and countless golden lightning bolts surrounded everyone. After a long period of cultivation, Qian Shanyong finally unleashed the basic power of the Wrath of the Heavenly God, and even Li Qiang and the others felt a chill.
The space around the Wrath of the Heavenly God was completely distorted, and the Flowing Silk Tide exploded like a tide crashing against rocks.
Qian Shanyong felt a sudden darkness followed by a flash of light. He had almost lost control of the Wrath of the Heavenly God, but he had finally broken through that immense and unparalleled force. At this point, he truly possessed the strength of Heavenly Lord, a strength he had gained through the Wrath of the Heavenly God.
Instantly, the five were enveloped by the Flowing Silk Tide, but everyone understood that the Flowing Silk Tide was the key to reaching the core of the divine array.
Li Qiang and Chiming also used their divine artifacts to help Qian Shanyong. The seemingly ferocious Flowing Silk Tide was actually not scary at all. Under the protection of the artifacts, everyone was actually more at ease than when they were outside.
Chiming couldn't help but curse, "We're all idiots and fools! That pressure outside is the real power of the divine array... God, we've been in the most dangerous place all along..."
Li Qiang laughed and said, "That's a great place for cultivation."
Qian Shanyong said, " The Flowing Silk Tide is also very dangerous. The external pressure is indeed great, but if we don't have a divine artifact to protect us the moment we enter the Flowing Silk Tide, we're doomed."
Li Qiang praised, " Old Qian has the Wrath of the Heavenly God; he can contend with the Heavenly Lord."
A sense of relief welled up in Qian Shanyong Shanyong's heart. He felt that his decision to come to Xinbo Cape was the right one. Not only had he received the Wrath of the Heavenly God, but he had also increased his strength. Even if he were to face Gu Xing now, he would not be afraid at all.
He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Brother, you're quite impressive too. To reach such a high level in such a short time is something I've never seen before in all my years."
Chiming shook his head and said, "You two, stop praising each other. Humph, if I were still the Demon Venerable Lord, as long as I went to Xinbo Cape, with so many great tonics... sigh, I would soon surpass the Demon Venerable realm..." He still couldn't forget his true nature. Fortunately, the realm of cultivating gods is much higher than that of cultivating demons, otherwise this guy would have already exploded.
Dainan Fengyu said, "Brother Qian is right... Eh..." Before she could finish speaking, the Flowing Silk Tide, which had just calmed down, suddenly began to vibrate violently.
Qian Shanyong and Li Qiang reacted almost simultaneously. Qian Shanyong shouted, "Someone's come in!"
Li Qiang then shouted, "Stabilize the artifact! Xiao Ming, let's make our move!" He and Chiming helped Qian Shanyong defend against it.
The Flowing Silk Tide, like a raging tornado, began to spin wildly.
This power was irresistible even with divine artifacts. Qian Shanyong rushed towards the bottom of the vortex along the Flowing Silk Tide. The speed was so fast that everyone felt dizzy. At first, everyone could see streaks of seven-colored light flashing in front of their eyes, but later everything was a white blur and they could not see anything clearly. Even someone with divine eyes like Li Qiang could not do so.
The bottom of the vortex seemed forever unreachable. The five people maintained a perfect formation. With the power of the Wrath of the Heavenly God, the Ninefold Evolving Gilt, and the Staff of the All-Heaven Divine Staff, even the Heavenly Tribulation could not harm them in the slightest. No matter how powerful the vortex of the Flowing Silk Tide was, it only made the five of them feel dizzy.
After an unknown amount of time, everyone's vision went black and then bright, and the external pressure suddenly vanished. The divine artifact, which had been suppressed for a long time, was suddenly released, and its enormous power was unleashed.
The dazzling golden light was like a blazing sun, the power of the Wrath of the Heavenly God. Ninefold Evolving Gilt glittered out, with streaks of colorful light mixed in, All-Heaven Divine Staff directions. After a slight pause, it emitted a huge roar.
Xuan Long shouted, "Quickly, put it away!"
Qian Shanyong, Li Qiang, and Chiming were completely unable to control themselves; it seemed as if all the strength in their bodies was flowing into the artifact. The external pressure suddenly disappeared, giving them an outlet for their pent-up emotions.
Dainan Fengyu exclaimed, "My God, what planet is this?" She was among the rest of the group, doing nothing, but she had the clearest view and realized that this was a planet inhabited by life.
No one knew how powerful the three divine artifacts were when they were unleashed simultaneously. All that could be seen was that the area within a hundred kilometers around the five people was completely flattened, making it impossible to discern what the original landscape was. Smoke and dust billowed straight into the sky.
Qian Shanyong led everyone into the sky. Looking at the billowing smoke below, he sighed, "I never imagined the Ancient Divine Formation was so magical. Did any of you notice how we were teleported out?" He didn't care what was on this planet.
In fact, they were thrown out before they even reached the core of the divine array, so they never witnessed the secret that Qian Shanyong spoke of.
Li Qiang said with lingering fear, "No, it's just that the pressure from outside suddenly disappeared... Damn, I wonder if anyone lives on this planet. Sigh, if someone does, it would be a terrible sin."
Chiming said dismissively, "What's the big deal? With your strength, you can do whatever you want in this realm. Who can stop you?"
Qian Shanyong laughed, " Chiming truly lives up to his reputation as Demon Venerable. If all cultivators thought like this, this realm would probably be completely desolate..."
Chiming chuckled, "What a pity... what a pity." No one knew what he was lamenting, but judging from his expression, he disagreed with Qian Shanyong's statement.
Li Qiang said, "Do whatever you want... Hehe, that would be great, but I prefer being free."
As they spoke, countless streaks of blue light lit up the sky.
Xuan Long sneered, "They're from the Western Sage."
In an instant, a loud sound of air being torn apart rang out.
Dainan Fengyu asked in confusion, "We haven't offended anyone from Xinbo Cape yet, nor have we found the location of the Ancient God Repository. How did they find us?"
Xuan Long hurriedly used his Divine Sense to check the Star-Fixing Disc and said, "Although this is not the Ancient God Repository, it is one of the planets that enshrines the Ancient God Repository. Unfortunately, we destroyed it."
Li Qiang asked, "Is Western Sage a person or a place name?"
Qian Shanyong laughed and said, " Western Sage is both a place name and a representation of several people, and you've already met one of them."
Li Qiang asked, " Geluhe?"
Xuan Long said, "He is one of them."
Countless Bona People flocked to the area.
Li Qiang said, "There's no point in fighting them, let's go!"
Chiming grinned and said, "Where are you going? Can't you let me have some fun?" He rubbed his fists together, ready to fly away.
