We Can't Break the Formation
Lu Qing'an took a deep breath.
Then let's do nothing!
Let's take a closer look at what's going on!!!
Xue Tianfei then gently nudged Lu Qing'an and transmitted her voice, "Qing'an, it seems they can't break the formation. Is there anything you need to do?"
Lu Qing'an replied telepathically, "No rush. Let's see if they have any other tricks up their sleeves. If not, then I'll have to take their place."
Now he just wanted to stand quietly for a while, watch, and wait for the feeling of deducing the rules by consuming the Power of the Dao Source to stop, so he could see what was going on. If he could really comprehend the rules he had seen, then he would be set for life.
Moreover, with these rules in place, he suspected that he could break the formation without even using his Late Eternal Realm cultivation!
So, for now, you don't need to do anything, just watch quietly for a while and stall for time!
Upon hearing this, Xue Tianfei nodded slightly and continued to stand quietly with Lu Qing'an, waiting patiently.
After exchanging a few words, Li Wensong and the others all looked towards Lu Qing'an.
"If all else fails, perhaps we should ask a senior?" Qian Xiuzhu gave a wry smile.
They really had no other choice.
Li Wensong frowned. "Are we really going to trouble Brother Lu? Is there really no other way?"
At this moment, Lu Qing'an showed no intention of stepping forward to help, which meant that they still needed to do something!
He couldn't think of the specifics.
Chen Lingling gritted her teeth and said, "There is another way!"
Li Wensong quickly asked, "Is there any other way?"
Chen Lingling smiled wryly, "We can only find someone who can help! I roughly know where this star field is. I know someone here who is in the Late Eternal Realm; perhaps she has a way to help us break this formation."
Li Wensong's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Why didn't you say so sooner! We can't do this, and Brother Lu has been hinting from the beginning that we need you. It seems that he's subtly pointing you to find this person!" Li Wensong quickly transmitted his voice.
Chen Lingling smiled wryly and transmitted her voice, "But my friend is a Heavenly Dao cultivator in the late Heavenly Dao of the Late Eighth Heaven realm, and she has a rather eccentric personality. Also, if she really manages to break this formation, she'll want at least half of what's inside. Can you really accept that, Senior...?"
Once she determined the location of this star system, she thought of her friend.
She met this person on the Nine Heavens Continent. At the time, the two of them were attending a grand banquet on that Nine Heavens Continent. After meeting, they occasionally kept in touch over the years.
Li Wensong said, "I'm pretty sure Brother Lu wants this person to come! Everything is under Brother Lu's control, so don't worry about any repercussions. Just call the person over! I'll go talk to Brother Lu about this now!"
"Then, you should tell the senior first! If the senior has no problems, I'll send her a message right away! She is the Heavenly Dao of the Mainland; if she gives me the exact location, I can teleport here instantly," Chen Lingling said.
Li Wensong nodded, and then in the blink of an eye, he flew to Lu Qing'an's side.
"Brother Lu, even with our combined efforts, we still can't break this formation. It's too powerful; the things inside must be extraordinary. We really can't open it now. But Chen Lingling has a friend from the Heavenly Dao nearby, who's at the Late Eternal Realm. Should we ask her to call him over to help break this formation?"
As he said this, Li Wensong carefully observed Lu Qing'an's expression and demeanor.
Lu Qing'an thought for a moment and decided that it would be best for him to do nothing right now and just stand there and let the Power of the Dao Source within his body deduce the rules. Using his cultivation and the Power of the Dao Source to break the formation might easily disrupt the progress of deducing the rules, so he nodded decisively.
"You can decide for yourselves."
Upon hearing this, Li Wensong smiled and nodded, confirming the agreement.
Just as he expected.
From beginning to end, Lu Qing'an was just waiting for Chen Lingling to call that so-called Heavenly Dao friend over!
So he smiled and returned to Chen Lingling, instructing Chen Lingling to immediately contact her friend from the Heavenly Dao.
"Brother Lu agreed! It seems Brother Lu's been waiting for this to happen all along!"
Chen Lingling nodded quickly, took out her communication artifact, and sent a message to her friend Fang Heavenly Dao.
In less than half an incense stick's time, a figure appeared in the blink of an eye, thousands of miles away from them.
The newcomer was a tall, slender girl with skin as white as frost and snow, and long, flowing black hair that reached her waist, the ends of which shimmered with a faint blue, icy luster.
She wore a long, black robe with star patterns and wide sleeves, with Nine Revolutions Cold Jade Chain tied around her waist. Her long, straight legs were faintly visible as her robe fluttered, and ripples of ice lotus appeared as she stepped into the air.
Her delicate oval face was framed by a pair of long, narrow, beautiful eyes with rare silver-gray pupils and three ice crystal patterns at the corners of her eyes.
As she gazed at Chen Lingling and the others, a terrifying pressure from the Late Eternal Realm suddenly erupted from her body.
The temperature across the entire star field plummeted, and countless ice crystals condensed in the void, each facet reflecting her cold and aloof face.
There was also a faint Heavenly Mark on her neck, a mark of the continent's origin manifested, which flickered with her breath, causing even the nearby Space Rule to subtly distort and fluctuate.
"Han Li, over here!" Chen Lingling waved to Han Li.
When Xue Tianfei heard Chen Lingling address the Late Eternal Realm who had arrived, a hint of surprise flashed across her pretty face.
She is the Great Emperor Ice Glaze, and this person is called Han Li. Given their unique auras, it seems like they share the same Emperor Position.
Lu Qing'an had already noticed all of this, and said with a smile, "Looking at it this way, you two do seem a bit similar."
Xue Tianfei shook her head and smiled, "To be honest, she is a bit... But do you think she's prettier or I am?"
Lu Qing'an naturally knew how to answer this potentially fatal question, and decisively replied, "In my heart, Nine Directions and Ten Domains, which other woman is more beautiful than you? Especially when your cheeks are flushed and you're breathing softly..."
"You, you stop talking, aren't you ashamed..." Xue Tianfei glared at Lu Qing'an with a blushing face.
Lu Qing'an's lips curled into a smile.
He recently found a way to tease Xue Tianfei's emotions.
I never expected this little girl to be so fun!
Just a few words are enough to make her blush.
That's so much fun!
"Ugh! You're definitely thinking about something again! Stop thinking about it! How awful!" Xue Tianfei transmitted her voice to Lu Qing'an. Seeing Lu Qing'an's sudden upturn of the corners of his mouth reminded her of certain moments.
Lu Qing'an chuckled inwardly, his expression returning to seriousness.
After I finish things here, I'll spend some time with my wife!
With a flash, Han Li used the Space Rule to arrive in front of Chen Lingling and the others in the blink of an eye.
"Lingling, what's wrong?" Han Li was expressionless, as if she had facial paralysis; no emotion could be detected on her face.
