Chapter 809: Accepting the Difficult Test of Formation Inheritance
Su Yao, Zhang Yu, Yi Chen and more than a dozen other disciples successfully passed the first three stages of the formation inheritance test and were about to receive the formation inheritance. However, the truly difficult test had just begun.
The Great Elder led the disciples who had passed the test to an ancient palace deep within the Immortal Gate. The palace exuded an ancient and mysterious atmosphere. The palace door was tightly closed, and the door was engraved with complex array runes, as if telling the vicissitudes of time.
"This is where the immortal sect's formations are passed down," the Great Elder said solemnly. "Next, you will receive the formation inheritance here. However, the inheritance process is extremely difficult. Not only does it require you to possess strong willpower, but you may also face various unexpected dangers. It's not too late for you to withdraw now."
The disciples looked at each other, without any sign of retreat in their eyes. Su Yao took a step forward and said firmly: "Grand Elder, we are ready. No matter how difficult it is, we are willing to accept the test."
The other disciples also nodded, expressing their willingness to accept the challenge.
Lin Feng looked at his disciples' determined expressions, feeling both relieved and worried. He stepped forward and said, "My fellow disciples, I believe in your resolve. But you must be cautious. If you encounter danger during the inheritance process, do not act recklessly and do your best to protect yourself."
The Great Elder nodded slightly, expressing his admiration for his disciples' courage. He formed seals with his hands and muttered something. The palace gate slowly opened, and a powerful and ancient aura filled the air.
"Come in with me." The Great Elder walked into the palace first, followed closely by the disciples.
The palace was dimly lit, its walls inlaid with shimmering crystals. In the center stood a massive stone platform, engraved with various formation patterns, emitting a mysterious glow.
"This is the stone platform of inheritance. You need to touch the stone platform to receive the power of the formation inheritance." said the Great Elder.
Su Yao took a deep breath, stepped forward, and placed her hand on the stone platform. In an instant, a ray of light surged from the stone platform, enveloping her. Su Yao felt a powerful flow of information pouring into her mind like a tide, and all kinds of complex array knowledge and inherited memories kept flashing in her consciousness.
"So... so much information..." Su Yao was shocked. She tried to concentrate and sort out the information. However, the power of inheritance was too strong, and she felt as if her head was about to burst.
"Can't give up..." Su Yao gritted her teeth and mobilized all her spiritual power to resist this powerful force. Her forehead was covered with sweat and her body was shaking slightly.
Zhang Yu looked at Su Yao's painful expression and felt anxious: "Senior Sister Su Yao, are you okay?"
Lin Feng shook his head gently, signaling Zhang Yu not to disturb Su Yao. "This is a necessary process for inheritance. We can only rely on her herself." Lin Feng said in a low voice.
Su Yao struggled in the light, and suddenly, an illusory battlefield appeared in front of her. On the battlefield, countless enemies rushed towards the immortal gate, and the immortal gate's defensive formation was crumbling.
"This... this is an illusion..." Su Yao understood it in her heart, but she also knew that she had to guard the immortal gate in the illusion, otherwise she would not be able to pass the inheritance test.
Su Yao quickly put into practice the knowledge she had learned about formations and arranged a series of defensive formations around the immortal gate. However, the enemy's attacks were extremely fierce, and the formations were constantly impacted.
"No, we can't hold on like this..." Su Yao was resisting the enemy's attack while thinking about countermeasures. She suddenly remembered a more powerful composite formation in the inherited memory, which required the fusion of multiple basic formations.
"Let's fight!" Su Yao concentrated all her energy and began to try to integrate the formation. With her efforts, rays of light shot out from her hands and merged into the surrounding defensive formation. Finally, the composite formation was completed, and the powerful force pushed back the enemies one after another.
Su Yao successfully passed the illusion test. The light gradually dissipated. She opened her eyes tiredly and walked down from the stone platform.
"Su Yao, you succeeded!" Zhang Yu said excitedly.
Su Yao nodded slightly, with a weak smile on her face: "well, it was difficult, but I did it."
Next, Zhang Yu also stepped onto the stone platform to accept the inheritance. Similarly, a powerful stream of information poured into his mind, and he also fell into an illusion.
Zhang Yu found himself in a barren desert, with a group of powerful monsters rushing towards him. These monsters were huge and exuded a terrifying aura.
"Hmph, come on!" Zhang Yu was not afraid at all. He quickly set up a fire formation to try to block the monster's attack. However, these monsters seemed to have a certain resistance to fire, and the fire formation was not very effective.
"Looks like I need a different approach..." Zhang Yu thought to himself as he searched through his inherited memories for a formation to restrain these monsters. Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he found a formation that used earth-based spiritual power as its core to trap the beasts.
Zhang Yu quickly altered the formation layout, using the surrounding sand and rocks as a medium to construct an earth-based beast-trapping formation. A massive earth wall rose from the ground, trapping the monsters within. The monsters struggled within the wall, but were unable to escape.
Zhang Yu successfully passed the illusion test and walked down from the stone platform.
Afterwards, Yi Chen and other disciples also took the test of inheritance. They faced various challenges in the illusion, some were mysterious spell attacks, some were complex maze traps, but they all relied on their wisdom and perseverance to successfully pass the test.
When the last disciple completed the inheritance, the Great Elder looked at them with satisfaction: "You all did well and successfully accepted the formation inheritance. From now on, you are the hope of the Immortal Sect's formation inheritance."
Lin Feng also smiled and said: "My fellow junior brothers and sisters, in the days ahead, you must continue to work hard to study the formation, so that the formation of the immortal sect can exert even greater power."
The disciples nodded in agreement, knowing full well that by accepting the inheritance of the formation technique, they shouldered a heavier responsibility. In the days ahead, they would use the formation technique knowledge they had learned to protect the Immortal Sect and face more unknown challenges.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden and violent tremor outside the palace. Lin Feng's face changed: "Oh no, it seems something has happened!"
The Great Elder said solemnly: "Go out and take a look first!"
Everyone quickly walked out of the palace and saw a huge black vortex appearing in the sky above the Immortal Gate. The vortex exuded an evil aura, as if a powerful force was trying to break through the Immortal Gate's defenses.
"This is..." Su Yao had an ominous premonition in her heart.
Lin Feng looked at the black vortex in the sky and said with a firm look in his eyes: "No matter what it is, we can't let it destroy the Immortal Gate. Everyone, prepare to fight!"
The disciples quickly adjusted themselves. Having just received the inheritance of the formation, they were eager to test their strength in actual combat. This sudden crisis would be the first test of their learning.
