Chapter 659: Ancient Art of Formation

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

The island was not at the Central Plains nor the Clouds Plains but at sea, which made it a perfect target.

The ones ambushing Lu Li and Hu Lang were Recluse Solar Dragon and two other unfamiliar Human Sovereign Realm warriors. Judging by how furious Hu Lang was, Lu Li could tell that those two—were the two Human Sovereign Realm warriors that fled the Serenity Plains.

It would take Recluse Solar Dragon at least half a year to recover after his Soul Pond was hurt by Lu Li. The fact that Recluse Solar Dragon had healed quicker than expected must be because someone gave him some medicines privately.

By the time Lu Li and Hu Lang went to the Central Plains, they heard that the two Human Sovereign Realm warriors of the Serenity Plains had escaped. They were faced with merely two choices. Either they would find some place to lie low and then plan for the future gradually or they would surrender to major families of the Central Plains.

Whichever it was, the two Human Sovereign Realm warriors shouldn’t be here.

If there were no powerful force trying to bring the two and Recluse Solar Dragon together, they wouldn’t be here.

Apart from the 12 Royal Families, Lu Li couldn’t think of any other force that could master the whereabouts of the three Human Sovereign Realm warriors and that could make such a grand plan.

It wasn’t hard to assume that Lu Suan and Ji Mengtian were the ones behind this ambush.

Recluse Solar Dragon and the two Human Sovereign Realm warriors from the Serenity Plains all held grudges toward Lu Li. After they killed Lu Li, the evil backstage manipulator could wipe out the three of them and then there would be no trace left behind. The Grand Master of the Demon-slaying Hall might have some suspicion but what could he possibly do without any evidence?

“Buzzing~”

Lu Li, Hu Lang and Wei Yuan rushed back into the underground palace. Lu Li had decided not to overthink about the manipulator as it was pointless now. The most critical thing was to get out of this alive.

If they were faced with only one Human Sovereign Realm, Lu Li and Hu Lang could cooperate and manage at ease. Faced with two, they might feel some stress. But three…

“Go to the back hall!”

Hu Lang led Lu Li into the back hall upon arriving the underground palace without any hesitation. The front hall gave them no leverage and it made no difference than staying out on the island.

Wei Yuan was panicking. He had no other choice but to follow Lu Li and Hu Lang into the back hall. There, Hu Lang used Xuan Energy to close the door.

The door had isolated the front and back halls but Wei Yuan had not recovered from his terror. If Hu Lang could find the trick to open the door, the three Human Sovereign Realm warriors could do so as well.

“Buzzing~”

That being said, Wei Yuan soon came back to his rightful mind. He took out a jade talisman and crushed it. It was the most advanced alarm jade talisman. Patriarchs of the Wei Family would be notified that something had happened at the Island of Tranquility and they would send over reinforcement.

Hu Lang also took out a jade talisman which he used to inform Lu Ling even though he didn’t know how much help it could be…

The Teleportation Formation connecting the Island of Tranquility and the Clouds Plains was destroyed. Powerful warriors from the Clouds Plains could not make their way over and it would take too long for them to fly here. Nevertheless, Hu Lang crushed the jade talisman to let Lu Ling know that something went wrong.

“Don’t mind that now!”

Lu Li stared at the door and said, “Hu Lang, try to figure out a way to control the Inhibition Formation of the door. If they cannot open it, we will be safe.”

“Sure~”

Hu Lang put his heart into studying the Inhibition Formation on the door. He must figure out a way to control it or change it so that the door could not be opened from the outside. They would buy sometime and when the Human Sovereign Realm warriors from the Wei Family and the Empire of Clouds Prowess arrived, they would be safe.

“Bang!”

Soon, from the outside came a slight tremble. It was evident that the three Human Sovereign Realm warriors followed them in and began to attack at the door in an attempt to open it.

Wei Yuan was worried. On the contrary, Lu Li remained composed. The three Human Sovereign Realm warriors could not open the door by blunt force. Maybe an Earth Immortal Realm warrior could.

This was Hu Lang’s understanding as well. After he studied the Inhibition Formation for the time for two incense sticks to burn, he said with a glow in his eyes, “I can use a method to lock down the Inhibition Formation on the door. But I don’t have too many Earthy Crystals and at best I can hold it for a day.”

“Then do it.”

One day wasn’t of much use. Wei Family’s territory was not in the coastal region. It would take their warriors two or three days to teleport here.

As for reinforcement from Lu Ling, it would cost more time. But it was nice to lock down the Inhibition Formation for one extra day. It was possible that the three Human Sovereign Realm warriors would quit and leave after failing to crack the Inhibition Formation on the door open after a day.

Hu Lang took out a large yellow crystal and then melted it into masses of yellow energy. Then, putting one hand on the door, he transmitted the yellow energy from his hand out. The masses of energy swarmed in a certain pattern like many yellow snakes.

“The Ancient Art of Formation?”

Wei Yuan murmured with curiosity after observing for a while. The yellow lines formed a Pa Kua diagram. He nodded and said, “It is the ancient art. Lord Hu, you are erudite and informed.”

Hu Lang didn’t respond. He continued to melt the yellow crystal to make the Pa Kuo diagram more condensed. Only when the entire yellow crystal was melted and all the energy was transmitted to the pattern on the door did he stop to explain to Lu Li, “This ancient art is created by an ancient race. It can be used to enhance the Inhibition Formation, to crack it, confine it or change it. I merely got a partial of the scroll and can only lock it down for a day because I don’t have too many Earth Crystals. If I had more, I could have bought us a few extra days.”

When the Inhibition Formation on the door was locked down, those from the outside could not open it and it would harder to crack it. The three Humans Sovereign Realm warriors were unlikely to open the door any time soon.

“Boom, boom, boom~”

The door was still trembling under the constant attacks from the three Human Sovereign Realm warriors. Lu Li, Hu Lang and Wei Yuan stood behind the door in anxiety, ready to engage at any time.

The three Human Sovereign Realm warriors’ attacks went on for the time for one incense stick to burn, and then two and then an hour passed!

The three of them bombarded the door for an hour but there was no indication that the door would give in. Lu Li, Hu Lang and Wei Yuan felt they could breathe. It was difficult to crack the door open with force, or at least for now.

Of Lu Li, Hu Lang and Wei Yuan, none of them had any will to fight. By the time the three Human Sovereign Realm warriors made their way in, Lu Li, Hu Lang and Wei Yuan would have to surrender to death.

“The other two Human Sovereign Realm warriors are from the Serenity Plains?” Lu Li asked.

Hu Lang nodded and answered, “Yes. One of them is Zhao Moyang, Master of the Palace of Crystals. He is at the middle stage of the Human Sovereign Realm and has learned a seventh rank Profound Meaning. The other one is the Great Patriarch of the Stellar Alliance, Li Yang. He is at the initial stage of the Human Sovereign Realm and you know that bald man that dirt bag Recluse Solar Dragon.”

“Hmm!”

Lu Li snorted. He forced himself to remain collected. To complain would not get him anywhere. He had to figure out a way to improve his abilities in a short time so that they could survive.

But how to do that in a day?

It would be pointless even if he could become stronger or achieve some breakthrough in Profound Meanings. Take the Soul Shattering skill as an example. Say Lu Li could increase the vibration waves to hundreds and he could kill a Human Sovereign Realm warrior in one move but he would have to get close to a Human Sovereign Realm first…

As soon as a Human Sovereign Realm warrior activated the Force Field, he would have to wait for death.

“Right, the Walking Puppets!”

Lu Li thought of that scroll on making Walking Puppets. An idea sprang to his mind.

If he could repair the two ruined Walking Puppets, he would earn himself great help. Two Walking Puppets and Hu Lang could stall the three Human Sovereign Realm warriors while he looked for a chance for a surprise attack. They might win this.

On the Great Land of China, forces clashed for the sake of supremacy and Bloodline Warriors ran amok; the conflict of the strong threatened to shatter heaven and earth. A young man named Lu Li—nothing more than a humble Coffin Carrier from the Northern Desert—came along with Lu Ling, his sister. The two were regarded as puny insects and bullied, but little did people know that Lu Li had the strongest Bloodline of them all in him. He mounted the most handsome of horses and drank the strongest of wines; He bedded the most beautiful of ladies and murdered the most hated of people; He told a huge lie and carried with him an ill-reputation undeserved; He traveled all by his lonesome and danced with devils; He had given his word that he would come back, that he would be strong. And it was because of this that she was still waiting in the city—alone.
