In the thick clouds and mist, Xiao Muyang had no choice but to give up after trying to find the formation eye to no avail. His face looked quite depressed.
With his strength, he was unable to find the center of this phantom formation, and if he couldn't find the eye, it would be impossible to break the formation.
"It would be great if Qianyu were here." Xiao Muyang sighed in his heart. Qianyu's eyes can see through illusions. He found the formation eye hidden in the ruins world, and he should be able to find the formation eye of this formation as well.
But he just thought about it this way. Senior Sword God asked him to go up the mountain alone because he believed that he could break the formation with his own ability. How could he let Senior Sword God down?
Suddenly something occurred to him, and a light flashed in Xiao Muyang's eyes. He almost forgot that the Sky Demon King was proficient in formations. He had a lot of insights about formations in his memory, and there might be a way to crack this illusory formation.
.
Then he sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to comprehend the memory of the Demon King.
Before, he only took a cursory glance and did not digest it carefully. First, because his cultivation level was too low to understand those profound formations. Second, his time was very tight and he could not put too much thought into the formations.
.
But right now there is nothing we can do about this phantom formation, so we can only make temporary arrangements.
...
In the courtyard, Song Chunqiu, Gongsun Pan and Wenyuan were all paying attention to Xiao Muyang's actions in the clouds and mist.
Seeing Xiao Muyang sitting there with his eyes closed, not knowing what he was thinking, Gongsun Pan looked at Song Chunqiu and said with a smile: "Well, I'm willing to admit defeat."
"Where did you lose?" Song Chunqiu said calmly.
"He has given up on breaking the formation. Doesn't this count as a defeat?" Gongsun Pan looked stunned.
"How long will it take? Just wait."
Seeing Song Chunqiu's indifferent expression, Gongsun Pan seemed to understand something, his face became strange, and he said: "You can't be ashamed and refuse to admit defeat. This is not the demeanor of a sword god."
The corners of Song Chunqiu's mouth twitched slightly, and he glared at Gongsun Pan and said, "It would be too harsh to ask a celestial figure to break through the four-layer illusion formation that you personally arranged in such a short period of time."
Gongsun Pan looked stunned and did not refute Song Chunqiu's words.
The complexity of the four-layer phantom formation far exceeds that of ordinary formations. It is indeed impossible for a celestial figure to come out of it within a few hours, but if he does not understand the formation, even if he is given a few years, he will not be able to come out of it.
of.
"Please tell me a time limit, so as not to say that I bully the juniors." Gongsun Pan smiled lightly and said, "But it must not exceed one month. If it is longer, it will be boring."
"This is natural." Song Chunqiu nodded slightly and said, "If he doesn't come out after seven days, I will lose."
"Okay, let's just limit it to seven days. If he doesn't come out by then, don't make any other excuses." Gongsun Pan was smiling, and he was already thinking about what conditions to give to Song Chunqiu. In his opinion, Xiao Muyang had given up.
Yes, even if you give him seven days, there will be no change.
Song Chunqiu's face looked very calm from beginning to end, like a deep pool, but there was a hint of hope in his eyes when he looked at the figure in the clouds and mist.
The reason why he agreed to Gongsun Pan's conditions was not because he was blindly confident in Xiao Muyang, but because he had some confidence.
Xiao Muyang once solved the formations arranged by the Sky Demon King in the Ruins Realm, which shows that he is not completely ignorant of the formations. Although the four-layer illusion formation is much more complicated than the ordinary formations, with Xiao Muyang's innate understanding, seven days is enough to solve the problem.
The mystery has been broken.
"Brother, you and I haven't gotten together for many years. We must get drunk this time." Gongsun Pan said loudly, looking very excited.
"Okay, I'll get drunk with you once." Song Chunqiu nodded with a smile. Although the purpose of coming this time was to invite Gongsun Pan out of the mountain, he also took this opportunity to catch up on old times.
"You two, wait a moment. I'm going to get some wine right now." Wen Yuan said with a smile and left immediately.
...
In the blink of an eye, four days passed.
In the past four days, Xiao Muyang sat there motionless, like an old monk in meditation, but he had digested a lot of the Heavenly Demon King's understanding of the formation, especially related to the illusion formation. Now his understanding of the illusion formation is much deeper than before.
.
Of course, only he knows what he has gained in the past few days, and no one else can.
In the courtyard, Song Chunqiu and Gongsun Pan were playing chess with calm expressions. Their eyes seemed to be on the chessboard, but their minds were actually always paying attention to the clouds.
Gongsun Pan dropped a white stone, looked at Song Chunqiu, stroked his beard and smiled: "It's been four days and he hasn't made any move. In my opinion, it's better to just admit defeat. I won't embarrass you too much."
"There are still three days left, why are you in a hurry?" Song Chunqiu said calmly, and as he spoke, a sunspot fell.
"It's just self-deception, why bother." Shaking his head, Gongsun Pan sighed softly.
A few days ago, he still had a glimmer of hope for Xiao Muyang, but in the past four days, Xiao Muyang didn't make any attempts and kept sitting there, which made the glimmer of hope in his heart shattered and he was convinced that Xiao Muyang could not break the formation.
Wen Yuan raised his head and looked up at the sky, staring at Xiao Muyang's figure through the clouds. There was a slight ripple in his heart. He has reached the late stage of Zhongtian Xiang at such an age. It can be seen that this son has extremely good talent in martial arts, but this does not mean that
The formation talent is also pretty good.
This time the bet must be won by the teacher.
On the fifth day, Xiao Muyang still made no move.
On the sixth day, Gongsun Pan stopped paying attention to Xiao Muyang's movements and watered the flowers and plants in the courtyard leisurely, waiting only for tomorrow to come and make a request to Song Chunqiu.
Song Chunqiu did not talk to Gongsun Pan. He sat quietly on a wooden chair with his eyes closed and rested, his mind always looking at the figure in the clouds. If you observe carefully, you will find that his brows are slightly frowned.
Six days have passed and Xiao Muyang has not made any move. Even though he has full confidence in Xiao Muyang's talent, he can't help but feel a little worried now.
Could it be that he really gave up?
While watering the flowers, Gongsun Pan glanced at Song Chunqiu inadvertently and sighed in his heart. He could understand Song Chunqiu's persistence, but the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. The result was already doomed, and there would be no miracle.
However, at the next moment, the sculpture-like figure in the clouds and mist finally opened its eyes.
Xiao Muyang stared at the changing scene in front of him, with light flowing in his dark eyes. Gradually, the prototype of a formation appeared in his mind.
The formation was constantly rotating and changing, with countless rays of light interlacing in it. It looked extremely profound and dazzling, but Xiao Muyang's face was as calm as water, and he did not seem to be too confused.
After careful observation, Xiao Muyang showed a look of surprise in his eyes. It turned out to be a multiple formation composed of four formations.
The formations in the memory of the Sky Demon King are almost all multiple formations, and there are even multiple formations composed of more than a dozen formations. Naturally, those levels of formations are not something that Xiao Muyang can comprehend today, but simple multiple formations
The formation can be seen through.
The illusion formation in front of you is composed of four formations.
These four formations are not complicated. They are easy to break apart when taken alone, but when combined together, the difficulty increases a lot. After all, the four formations are interdependent and not completely independent. Therefore, it is difficult to find four formation eyes unless you can see through four formations.
The structure of the array.
And if you don't have certain attainments in fighting, you won't be able to see through this multiple illusory array, and naturally you won't be able to break it.
"As expected of a formation master, every formation blocking the road is a four-layer illusion formation." Xiao Muyang felt a bit of admiration in his heart. If he could invite this master to come out, he would definitely be able to strengthen Yunxiao City's defense.
Thinking of this, his eyes became extremely determined. No matter what, he must invite this master to come out.
Then he stood up, obviously preparing to break the formation.
The moment Xiao Muyang stood up, Song Chunqiu's eyes suddenly flashed with light, and a smile of relief appeared on his originally solemn face.
This guy is finally going to take action.
Gongsun Pan on the side saw the smile on Song Chunqiu's face, and the corners of his eyes twitched. Could it be that there was something going on with that kid?
A force of thought flew upwards. Seeing Xiao Muyang's standing figure, a look of surprise flashed across Gongsun Pan's eyes. Could this little guy have a clue?
However, when he thought about the difficulty of the four-layer illusion formation, he immediately calmed down. Only by finding the formation eyes of the four formations could he break the formation. If he only had some clues, it would still be impossible to break the formation.
"Has he started to break the formation?" A surprised voice came from the side, it was Wen Yuan who arrived.
"It shouldn't be possible to break the formation. It just depends on how far he can go." Gongsun Pan said calmly, looking through the space at Xiao Muyang in the clouds and mist.
After hearing Gongsun Pan's words, Song Chunqiu was noncommittal. Xiao Muyang had already planned to break the formation and would know the result soon.
Wen Yuan also looked at the clouds, with a look of expectation on his face. It had been silent for six days, and he wondered if there would be any movement today.
Xiao Muyang didn't know that there were three pairs of eyes looking at him. He stepped in one direction and stopped after walking a distance. The position he was in at the moment was the eye of a formation.
Seeing Xiao Muyang stop at the center of the formation, Gongsun Pan and Wen Yuan's eyes suddenly shrank, especially Gongsun Pan's expression on his face became solemn, and his eyes were fixed on Xiao Muyang.
He was thinking, is it a coincidence that Xiao Muyang stopped here?
But Xiao Muyang's next move completely negated his idea.
I saw Xiao Muyang walking in the other direction, stopping at the second formation, and then changing direction again, arriving at the eye of the third formation.
When Xiao Muyang walked to the fourth formation's eye, Gongsun Pan's eyes showed an extremely shocked look. This kid actually walked out.
In six days, he broke through the four-layer illusion formation. This man's formation talent is simply astonishing.
Looking at Xiao Muyang's figure, Wen Yuan's heart was filled with shock. When he broke through the four-layer illusion formation, he had already stepped into the realm of the Supreme. He still got the guidance of the teacher before breaking through. But now a man with the help of his own understanding has broken through the formation.
Open it, and the difference is clearly visible.
Gongsun Pan took a deep breath, then turned his head to look at Song Chunqiu, and slowly said: "You win."
Seeing the solemn look on Gongsun Pan's face, Song Chunqiu showed a satisfied smile. He knew that Xiao Muyang had been recognized by Gongsun Pan, and half of the purpose of this trip had been achieved!
