Chapter 145: Entering the Illusionary Array
Wu Ming was slightly stunned:
"Shouldn't I know?"
Yang Qing looked at him with disdain:
“It’s not good to know too much!”
Wu Ming chuckled:
"Alright, move the boulder and go in!"
Yang Qing immediately stretched out his hand and grabbed it, his five fingers actually pierced into the boulder. Wu Ming was stunned by this scene:
"Fuck, is he that strong?"
Yang Qing lifted the boulder with force, and the boulder made a loud bang, and countless pieces of rubble fell down. The boulder weighing a thousand pounds was moved aside easily by Yang Qing!
A large hole with a diameter of about ten feet appeared in front of him. A mysterious light shot out instantly, rushing straight into the sky, and a loud dragon roar resounded through the void.
Yang Qing was stunned. What was going on? Was there really a dragon sealed inside?
Wu Ming was dumbfounded. He had tried to move this huge rock many times, even using blasting methods, but couldn't budge it at all. But Yang Qing actually moved it away with just a pair of bare hands!
Wu Ming quickly took out a ball of linen, found a branch at random, wrapped the linen around the branch, and a torch was ready!
Yang Qing opened up his sea of consciousness and released the spirit stone. He could explore the surroundings even with his eyes closed, so he didn't need a torch for lighting. He stepped into the cave on his own. Wu Ming was stunned again and quickly lit the torch and chased after him!
The cave was dark and gloomy, and no one knew where it led to. Yang Qing was indeed a man of great skill and courage, and he strode towards the depths.
Wu Ming followed closely behind Yang Qing:
"You walk slower!"
Yang Qing glanced behind him with disdain:
"Aren't you a Taoist monk who moves mountains? You're not even afraid of ancient tombs, so why are you afraid of this?"
Wu Ming said unconvincedly:
"I'm not afraid of ghosts! But this is a dragon! And the most ferocious black dragon!"
Yang Qing curled his lips:
"Didn't you say the Black Dragon was dead?"
Wu Ming was anxious:
"That's just a legend. Who knows if he's dead or not? What if he's not dead?"
Yang Qing's consciousness had already probed forward several hundred meters. This corridor seemed to have no end. Apart from the fishy smell in the air, there was nothing special about it. There was no trace of life.
After walking about five or six kilometers, Yang Qing finally noticed something different in his consciousness. There was also a faint light ahead! Yang Qing's heart tightened, and he quickly walked towards the light.
After walking out of the corridor, the view suddenly opened up. However, Yang Qing was stunned when he saw the scene clearly!
The mountains here are rolling, and it turns out to be a small world! But this world seems to be covered by a fuzzy cover, and it is not real.
Wu Ming said:
"This is a sealing barrier! I'll break it!"
After saying this, Wu Ming muttered something, made hand gestures continuously, and shouted loudly after a long time:
"break!"
A flock of crows flew past in formation, but nothing happened! The barrier was still there!
A drop of cold sweat rolled down Wu Ming's face. How embarrassing!
Yang Qing let out a sarcastic "whoosh" and Wu Ming placed his hand on the barrier in confusion:
"Strange! After over 2000 years, the barrier still hasn't broken down!"
Yang Qing also stretched out his hand and covered the barrier. A stream of spiritual power was transmitted from his palm to the barrier. The moment the spiritual power touched the barrier, a ripple spread out!
Yang Qing sensed the entire barrier and said after a long while:
"Stay back!"
Wu Ming was stunned and immediately took three steps back! Yang Qingping concentrated his energy, gathered his spiritual power into his right fist, and punched hard at the barrier!
This scene scared Wu Ming:
"Holy crap! Violent demolition? Are you crazy? This barrier is a supreme formation, how can it be demolished by force!"
Yang Qing didn't care about all this. He punched the barrier hard, and the earth shook instantly. The whole space began to tremble, and countless pieces of rubble fell from the top of the cave. Wu Ming quickly retreated into the corridor, avoiding the rubble to avoid being hit.
Yang Qing pulled back his palm and found that the barrier was still the same, without any change! He couldn't help but sigh at what kind of method it was, as if the barrier had been set up for a thousand years without changing!
Now Yang Qing also began to doubt whether the black dragon was still alive!
Wu Ming walked out with a leisurely look on his face:
"There's something strange about this barrier. It seems to have a constant flow of energy!"
Yang Qing frowned. He had done some research on formations in his previous life, but unfortunately the formation in front of him was an ancient formation, which he was not familiar with.
But even the most ingenious formations can be broken. There's a saying that there's an antidote within five steps! This is true for poisons, and it's also true for formations!
Yang Qing began to patrol the outer circle of the barrier, covering the barrier with one hand, sensing the subtle changes in the barrier bit by bit.
Wu Ming looked at Yang Qing's actions and said:
"This is an ancient formation, you can't do it like this!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Qing's eyes lit up. He instantly squatted down and dug on the ground. Not long after, Yang Qing found a yellow talisman under a pile of rubble!
Wu Ming was shocked when he saw the talisman:
"Holy crap! Is this true? Is it so sloppy?"
Yang Qing picked up the talisman and looked at it carefully, his expression soon changed:
"Fuxi Locking Dragon Formation!"
Wu Ming's face was dazed:
"What? What did you say? Fuxi Locking Dragon Formation? This is the Fuxi Locking Dragon Formation?"
Yang Qing nodded:
"This is a long-lost formation. Look around. There must be more talismans like this around here. Take them all out and burn them to break the formation!"
Wu Ming blinked and asked humbly:
"The formation is broken already? So careless?"
Yang Qing glanced at Wu Ming with disdain:
"Hurry up! You go left and I go right!"
The two of them searched to the sides, but they didn't expect the formation to be so large that they didn't meet at the other end until an hour later!
Wu Ming held the talisman in his hand and said:
"40 pictures!"
Yang Qing nodded:
"I have 41 of them! That's exactly the number of ninety-nine! My skills in setting up formations are still very limited, so I only used eighty-one of them to set up this formation!"
Yang Qing put the talismans together, and Wu Ming brought the torch closer. With a "boom", the pile of talismans were instantly burned to ashes!
At the same time, the ground in the cave shook, and the barrier emitted a bright light, which became brighter and brighter. Finally, after another strong light, the barrier turned into nothingness!
Wu Ming was overjoyed. He had been studying for a long time and couldn't even get into the cave. But when Yang Qing arrived, not only did he get in, he also cracked the ancient formation! This deal was a good one!
When the formation dissipated, the two were dumbfounded again. They didn't expect the space inside to be so huge. They originally thought that the mountains and peaks they saw when entering the cave were just the illusion of the barrier, but they didn't expect that there were real mountains and water inside!
Yang Qing smacked his lips:
"This is truly a small world!"
The two walked forward together. The silence here felt unreal. They could even hear their own heartbeats!
The two of them didn't know how long they had been walking. It seemed that they were only one kilometer away from the mountain, but after walking for a long time, it seemed that they were still going in circles, and the mountain didn't get any closer!
There was no sign of any living creature around, and Yang Qing couldn't help but frown. Are there really dragon scales and dragon bones in here?
Wu Ming also discovered the problem:
"It's like we haven't moved!"
But when they looked back, the cave entrance that was originally behind them was no longer visible!
Yang Qing was shocked:
"Oh no! It's an illusion!"
