The Experts Were Stunned Once Again!
"Hahahahaha!"
As though he had heard an enormous joke, Taiyi made no effort to hold back and burst out laughing. "Brother, did you hear what he said? He said he'd be right back!"
"He's going to make me die laughing!"
Dijun also gave a cold snort. "What outrageous boasting! How dare he say such a thing! He's nothing but a mere Mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal. With a mouth that reckless, he's better off dead."
Seeing that Lin Yunji had already entered the Wind and Thunder Divine Formation, Dijun and Taiyi could not help gloating over his misfortune, even feeling a measure of satisfaction!
The other experts present had naturally heard Lin Yunji's words as well. They looked at one another, then burst out laughing.
Not only did everyone think that Lin Yunji faced a grim fate, but they also thought he was going on a journey from which he would never return!
In their eyes, it was only a matter of time before the Wind and Thunder Divine Formation wiped Lin Yunji out.
Even the Three Pure Ones and the others, let alone the rest, did not believe Lin Yunji could return unharmed after entering the formation.
So, at that very moment, their faces were deathly pale and their eyes were frosty. The magic power around them surged, yet they had nowhere to unleash it, and they were all on the verge of erupting.
Only Lady Nüwa composed herself. When she heard Lin Yunji say those words, hope unexpectedly kindled in her heart.
He... since he's confident, he can definitely do it!
After all... it's him, isn't it?
Nüwa's thoughts raced, and the many things that had happened while she was with Lin Yunji surfaced in her mind.
Then she realized that although Lin Yunji's actions seemed haphazard and heedless of consequences, he really did not seem to have done anything he was not sure of. That confidence and composure came naturally to him.
He had always kept his word!
By now, Lin Yunji had entered the Wind and Thunder Divine Formation.
Rumble!
As his figure disappeared inside, the entire formation seemed to awaken in an instant.
Purple-gold lightning exploded with thunderous crashes, and wind blades intertwined and danced through the void. Frenzied water and fire poured forth as well, as though countless strands of murderous intent lurked at every step.
This endless murderous intent overlapped, shifting through calculated transformations. Even if he stood perfectly still, he would vanish outright the next moment.
"Sigh, he's already a dead man."
"It's so terrifying inside the formation that even we wouldn't dare enter rashly!"
"Who can he blame? He was just coveting the many Law Treasures on the Treasure-Dividing Cliff and wanted to take a gamble."
"..."
The world had never lacked cultivators blinded by desire.
The discussion never stopped.
Not a single person thought well of Lin Yunji's chances.
But all of a sudden, their eyes went wide, as though they had seen something inconceivable!
They stared fixedly at the figure that had disappeared into the formation, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
The Wind and Thunder Divine Formation had indeed been activated by Lin Yunji's entry. Murderous intent surged forth, changing without end.
But that was precisely the point!
The ever-present murderous intent produced by those transformations had truly come alive!
As though it had a life of its own, it made way for Lin Yunji, moving aside whenever he passed!
Not only did it fail to cause Lin Yunji the slightest harm, but it even allowed him to stroll through the murderous intent filling the sky as easily and comfortably as if he were walking through a quiet garden!
He walked with such ease. He did not have to dodge the murderous intent; the murderous intent was dodging him!
At that moment, the experts present were so stunned their eyeballs nearly popped out!
???
This has to be an illusion, right?
You couldn't even dream up something like this!
What happened to dying the moment he went in, being reduced to ashes, his body and soul destroyed?
This is completely different from what we were told!
And so, at that moment, every expert's eyes widened as though their eyeballs were about to fall out.
Lin Yunji, however, was inside the formation and naturally had no idea what the experts outside were doing.
He had previously copied the Wind and Thunder Divine Formation onto the bones in his feet, so the system had naturally engraved the formation diagram, its calculated transformations, and other related information into his brain. That was precisely why he could now pass through with ease.
Thus, before long, Lin Yunji easily crossed the Wind and Thunder Divine Formation and arrived before the Treasure-Dividing Cliff.
The Treasure-Dividing Cliff was smooth all over, emitting a faint radiance as though it had been cast from molten iron. Treasures flickered in and out of sight upon it, giving off a treasured glow.
Although those experts had taken quite a few earlier, a considerable number of Law Treasures still remained!
Lin Yunji's attention, however, was not on the Law Treasures rising and falling there. He looked straight at the diamond-shaped crystal still floating beside the Treasure-Dividing Cliff.
There was no time to lose. Lin Yunji turned and appeared before that Heavenly Scar Fragment, then hurriedly stowed it away!
[Beep! The system has detected that the host has collected one Heavenly Scar Fragment. System reward: Cultivation Points x700,000!]
The notification sounded immediately afterward!
Although Lin Yunji had already prepared himself, he had never expected the system to give him a full seven hundred thousand Cultivation Points for collecting the Heavenly Scar Fragment this time!
The bit of joy Lin Yunji had just shown at obtaining a new Heavenly Scar Fragment vanished without a trace.
Not only was he depressed, but it also showed plainly on his face.
What the fuck... it fucking gave me seven hundred thousand just like that?
That wasn't the amount it gave me last time! Why the hell is it going up by multiples instead?!
Fuck your uncle, system!
[Beep! The system has detected that the host has sufficient Cultivation Points. Breaking through to the next realm...]
System notifications sounded one after another, but Lin Yunji's attention was fixed on this one.
He had no time to curse this trash system in his heart, because he had already been forced into a certain profound state once again.
Innate Spiritual Qi surged madly toward Lin Yunji and entered his body. His presence soared, rising at an incredible speed.
Three flowers appeared, revolving above his head.
When Lin Yunji stood motionless before the Treasure-Dividing Cliff, some experts noticed the signs.
Then Lin Yunji went straight into a breakthrough, and this time all the experts saw it!
They saw it perfectly clearly! Plain as day!
And this sight challenged their understanding once again!
The discussion came to a halt.
Before the great battle, everything suddenly fell quiet.
It was a deathly silence!
The experts even forgot to breathe. Their mouths hung open and their movements froze as they stared in astonishment and shock at the figure inside the great formation, beside the Treasure-Dividing Cliff, being assailed by Innate Spiritual Qi like ocean waves!
A long time seemed to pass, yet they remained that way.
Each expert, regardless of cultivation, stood rooted to the spot without moving, as though they had truly become statues!
"Gulp..."
An unknown expert's Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed.
And it just so happened that this faint sound brought the experts present back to their senses.
"Waaah-"
At that moment, it was as though a single stone had stirred up a thousand waves!
The scene immediately erupted!
