Although they had never met before, they took a liking to each other as they were under the same tradition. Hua Xiyue always carried a joyful smile and the elegant and handsome, Chi Hengyu also warmed up to him right away.
For now, it was still inappropriate for Hua Xiyue and Chi Hengyu to reveal their identity before the other people of the Qin Clan. Therefore, after a short conversation filled with encouraging words, they left.
When Qin Wushuang learned the proposed coming of these two Senior Brothers, he also felt surprised inwardly. In this case, Senior Brother was planning to make a move against the Golden Crow.
“This Golden Crow possesses such power that when he came to my mountain gate to show off, there was nothing I could do to him.” Whenever he thought about this matter, anger rose from Qin Wushuang’s mind.
Qin Wushuang never witnessed the divine skill of the Heavenly Supreme Dao Stage. However, initially he saw the way how Senior Brother Li Buyi killed Xin Tianwen on the Xuan Yuan Stage. Like seeing a leopard through a narrow tube, he could understand his power to some extent.
Golden Crow had the divine skill of the Peak of the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage, and Qin Wushuang just witnessed it. He truly had the skill to flatten the land and slash the mountains in half.
“Due to the Graceful Spiritual Bow, the Golden Crow is extremely hostile with me. I must not endure it in silence. The God Discarding Door will soon be opened and full of danger. Even Senior Brother said that there will be no extra care inside the God Discarding Maze. In this case, everyone shares an equal opportunity inside the God Discarding Maze. If I am careless, I will meet different crisis.”
Thinking here, suddenly a thought emerged in Qin Wushuang’s head, “No, the outcome of this God Discarding Door is unpredictable. I must first explore the Seventh Loop of the Seven Deadly Arrays Formation. Teacher left the message that I can go in when I am at the First Calamity of the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage. Now, I am at the Fourth Calamity. When I explore that God Discarding Maze, and face those paramount elite warriors, I don’t have any advantages. I should see how many fortuitous opportunities the teacher left for me within the Seventh Loop. Regardless of the amount, I must make some preparations to get more assurance for the God Discarding Maze.”
When he thought of this, Qin Wushuang wondered what he would come across when exploring the Seventh Loop of the Seven Deadly Arrays Formation.
Qin Wushuang had a decisive personality for he would immediately carry out a task. After he made the decision, he returned to the Upright Morality Hall. Everyone was still inside the hall. They were all overjoyed when they saw his return.
“Everyone, no need to be worried, that Golden Crow went away with injuries.” Qin Wushuang revealed a slight smile as he deliberately weakened the psychological impact the Golden Crow brought on everyone.
Upon hearing the news of how the Golden Crow went away with injuries, everyone’s expression relaxed.
Bao Bao chuckled. “Now you should feel reassured? I told you, there is no need for Boss to make a move. The defenses of the Mustard Cave Dwelling will make him run away with injuries. It’s also because he got lucky and did not get attacked by the super mechanisms. If he had, he wouldn’t have even had the chance to escape.”
Bao Bao was not exaggerating. Lone also kept nodding as he listened.
Qin Wushuang clearly did not wish to get into this matter too much as he laughed. “Everyone, the intrusion of the Golden Crow gave me an idea. Now, with three months time left before the opening of the God Discarding Door, I am going on a trip.”
“Boss, are you going there?”
Qin Wushuang nodded. “Yes.”
When the crowd heard the way they conversed, they were well aware that they were talking about the immemorial formation.
Bao Bao moved his brow and cried out, “I am going too.”
“Boss, I must go this time.” Lone also volunteered.
Although Fire Kylin had a slightly lesser position than Lone and Bao Bao, and despite not speaking, the eagerness from his brow already clearly expressed what he wanted.
Qin Wushuang shook his head. “This time I can only take Bao Bao. It’s not because I favor him, but for this last loop, it will be a great risk for Bao Bao as well. You must be at the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage to go. For now, he is the only other at the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage.”
Bao Bao let out smiles of exultation and was extremely excited. He let out a idiotic laug.
Qin Wushuang said seriously, “Bao Bao, I can take you, but I must warn you: this time will be different than any of the past trips. You must obey all my orders and not wander around on your own. Or else, the things shooting out from the defenses are not something you can hold off.”
Bao Bao stretched his tongue and said, “Alright, boss, I always listen to you.”
Lone and Fire Kylin exchanged a glance and let out a helpless smile. This was not something they could do. Boss was not playing favoritism at all. Before reaching the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage, they would be digging their own graves if they went.
Qin Wushuang said, “Lone, Fire Kylin, you will contend with your lot at the Aspiring Throne Mountain. You must not run amok, and listen to the orders of the Second and Third Chief. Do not act proud, understand?”
Lone and Fire Kylin listened to all of Qin Wushuang’s orders. Upon hearing his stern instructions, they nodded to agree and wouldn’t dare to disobey.
After he finished these instructions, Qin Wushuang went to tell Mu Rong Xu and drifted away.
Bao Bao also felt somewhat depressed after training for a long time at the Aspiring Throne Mountain. Now, with the opportunity to go out, of course he was joyful.
However, Qin Wushuang did not act with a high-profile as he was thinking about the Golden Crow. In less than a day, they arrived at the mountain cave of the Tortoise King Mountain, where the Fourth Loop was located.
Through the transportation formation, they reached the Fifth Loop of the Endless Eastern Sea, then the Sixth Loop of the Heavenly Fire Southern Border.
When they reached the Sixth Loop, Qin Wushuang led Bao Bao to come before the transportation stone platform. For someone as thick-skinned as Bao Bao, he also chuckled and asked with lack of confidence, “Boss, I am not even at the Second Calamity, this transportation stone will not engulf me, right?”
“You worry too much.” Qin Wushuang laughed. “Don’t get distracted, I am about to activate the formation.”
Bao Bao and Qin Wushuang went through this progress many times. Of course, they were not unfamiliar with the entire process.
Indeed, the Seventh Loop deserved its worthy reputation. After Bao Bao entered this transportation formation, he immediately sensed a burst of powerful and incomparable pressure from the past. This transportation channel seemed to squeeze him like two mountains squeezing one another.
Fortunately, this process did not last long.
With a rumbling sound, the transportation portal stopped working. A burst of divine light held back all of a sudden. A gigantic stone platform appeared, yet the surrounding look appeared completely different than the Sixth Loop.
Qin Wushuang’s first feeling was the boundless terrain. Originally, the Sixth Loop was also extremely vast. It was a place of exceptional charm and extremely remote routes.
However, the scale of this Seventh Loop was ten times bigger than the previous ones.
The vast hall seemed like a majestic palace. Inside the palace, rows of broad pillars supported this dazzling and gigantic palace.
The white jade-like ground seemed to be congealed with a layer of white shiny light. When he stepped onto it, he felt as if he were floating.
Qin Wushuang perceived the land, each inch of the territory expressed a burst of powerful spiritual Qi movement. Within moments, he could sense the surging and rich spiritual Qi.
When Bao Bao followed behind Qin Wushuang to walk in this majestic palace, he also felt somewhat dry in his throat. Casting aside his straightforward personality, he said carefully, “Boss, there is rich spiritual Qi. If we train here, certainly we will progress fast.”
Of course, Qin Wushuang perceived the same thing as he nodded. “This Seventh Loop is the core, it’s reasonable for it to have sufficient Qi.”
Qin Wushuang already knew what the Seventh Loop meant for the entire formation. This was the absolute core and where all the essence of the formation was found.
Although the previous six loops appeared extremely marvelous, they were accompanying the Seventh Loop. They were prepared to support the Seventh Loop.
Compared to the Seventh Loop, the previous six loops were not worth mentioning!
Although Qin Wushuang was mentally prepared, he still could feel that his heartbeat could not refrain from beating faster as he walked on this terrain.
Finally, he touched the core area of the entire formation. Finally, he would solve the mystery.
After he wandered around the entire formation area, Qin Wushuang returned to the formation stone platform. He knew this stone platform was the core area of each loop.
He poured in his Supreme Dao power to activate this Seventh Loop.
When Qin Wushuang poured his Supreme Dao power into the stone, it seemed as though he lit a match and ignited all the lights of the formation.
The dazzling five colors instantly floated in the entire space. Those gigantic pillars became vivid. Under the five-colored lights, it seemed as though the sculpture were jumping out from the pillars. Appearing vivid and life-like, they were a simple move away from being brought to life.
Bao Bao was deeply impressed by this scenery before him. He extended his tongue, but did not dare to let out a word. As he looked at this dazzling scene solemnly, he only felt his dry mouth and tongue. Everything appeared like an illusion or dream.
“Ha ha, welcome, lucky one. Of course, at this place, perhaps I should refer to you as my little disciple. Firstly, I must congratulate you. It’s extremely difficult to come this far. However, since you did, it means you’ve already accomplished many things within the Tian Xuan Land, you might even have set a world-shaking foundation. However, this is not the reason for you to be proud. It’s because when you entered this Seventh Loop, this is the real starting point for you to begin your path as an elite warrior!”
This was the true starting point!
Bao Bao felt dizzy and ringing in his ears. After all those hard core training sessions in the past, it would not even count as a start. However, Qin Wushuang appeared solemn and a layer of serene radiance covered his face. He only remained still and listened to the instruction of his senior attentively.
“At the Seventh Loop, first you must know that I will not give you any fortuitous opportunities, nor should you fix your gaze on any treasures. At this place, you must get to know the arranger of this formation. If you acknowledge it, I will claim to be your teacher. And you must bow nine times to me towards the south side of the stone platform, and offer respect to your teacher!”
Qin Wushuang did not neglect this at all. Although he never met the owner of the Seven Deadly Arrays Formation, his instructions and transformation were incomparable to anyone else.
Therefore, it was proper to call this person his teacher. And this person should have a clear conscience of it!
Thinking here, Qin Wushuang did it respectfully without hesitation. He bowed three times and knocked his head on the floor nine times to finish the tribute.
“Ha ha, excellent, you did not play me, this is good. It proves the disciple I have taken in is a righteous person and not a cunning figure. Did you know that if you acted half-heartedly a moment ago and did not pay your respects, you would have been kicked out of the formation directly to never enter again?”
As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Wushuang and Bao Bao felt a burst of apprehension.
