Legend of the Transcendent

Chapter 225: Deep into the core

When Lu Cheng finally made sense of his surroundings, he suddenly realized that Mi Xiaojing was gone!

The surrounding white fog was dense, and a bone-chilling cold followed. Even as a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, he couldn't help but shiver.

The most crucial question was, where was the treasure vault?

Lu Cheng was on the verge of going mad, muttering incessantly, "The treasure vault... the treasure vault... where is the treasure vault? Where the hell is the treasure vault!"

He wanted to find Mi Xiaojing and ask him, but Mi Xiaojing was nowhere to be found. Lu Cheng finally realized that the little guy had known about the situation here all along, had dug a big hole, and let himself jump into it. What was ridiculous was that he even said he would share a tenth of the benefits.

Lu Cheng couldn't help but grind his teeth, "If I ever see you again, I will definitely kill you!"

As he thought, he took a step forward. After just three steps, he successfully triggered the Mysterious Heaven Formation.

In fact, Mi Xiaojing was already deep within the Mysterious Heaven Formation. Following Wang Weijun's instructions, he quickly found a safe spot and completely avoided the fluctuations of the formation by casting a magical technique.

According to Wang Weijun, he should stay here honestly for now. He needed time to carefully observe the operation of the formation.

To make the Mysterious Heaven Formation operate, someone must trigger the formation. Mi Xiaojing and Wang Weijun were not worried about this problem. Both of them knew very well that with Lu Cheng's knowledge, he would definitely trigger the Mysterious Heaven Formation because he couldn't tell what kind of formation it was and wouldn't stand still. As long as he moved, the formation would definitely start.

Sure enough, not long after Mi Xiaojing had stabilized himself, a corner of the Mysterious Heaven Formation started to operate.

The Mysterious Heaven Formation, although it has a "small" in its name, is not small in size. Compared to the real Mysterious Heaven Formation, it is not small in size, but in power.

Of course, this power is compared to the Mysterious Heaven Formation. From Mi Xiaojing's current knowledge, the power of this formation is not small either. Even a master at the Elemental Infant stage would have a lot of trouble if they fell into it.

As a cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, Lu Cheng's problem was not just trouble, but a matter of life and death. In just a few seconds, he had already started to shiver. This kind of bone-chilling cold was not something he could resist.

His Golden Elixir was churning, and the jade string tied around his waist was also emitting white light. This was a defensive magical artifact. In an instant, it isolated the outside cold.

Lu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and foolishly continued to move forward. There was no way, as a rogue cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, how much knowledge could you expect him to have? His understanding of formations was even less than Mi Xiaojing's. Lu Cheng had no idea that he was in such danger.

However, he still instinctively felt the crisis, which is why he made the second mistake. He thought that as long as he rushed out quickly, maybe he would be fine.

This rush startled the entire Mysterious Heaven Formation. If he had walked slowly, only a corner would have been triggered, and he might have been able to resist for a while. But this rapid advance triggered the entire formation!

Mi Xiaojing remembered that when they first entered, even the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden was very careful, trying not to trigger the formation. But this guy, as soon as he came in, made such a big noise.

"Ignorance is bliss!"

Wang Weijun sighed. With his level of knowledge, he had already noticed that the entire Mysterious Heaven Formation had started to operate. He reminded, "You remember the magical techniques and incantations I taught you, right?"

"I remember, and I've practiced them. I should be proficient... I shouldn't make a mistake."

Mi Xiaojing kept casting magical techniques to conceal his presence. In this way, the attack of the Mysterious Heaven Formation would completely ignore him. However, the surrounding cold still existed. Mi Xiaojing had a thought, and the true words on the substitute doll swelled up, blocking this extreme cold outside.

Mi Xiaojing was not clear about the power of the mysterious energy, but the coldness of the mysterious energy shocked him. Fortunately, Mi Xiaojing had many methods, especially the combination of true words and cultivation techniques, which was incredibly magical. It was easy to block the cold.

The attack of the Mysterious Heaven Formation was not just a cold killer. Lu Cheng had tasted it. The attack of this Mysterious Heaven Formation was extremely exquisite, not wasting any energy. The attack was just right, just enough to make Lu Cheng unable to bear it.

If Lu Cheng and a cultivator at the Elemental Infant stage had entered at the same time, he would have been finished long ago.

Lu Cheng knew he was in trouble. With every step he took, the power of the cold would rise a little. His whole body began to stiffen, and even the fire of his Golden Elixir was of no use. The bone-chilling cold penetrated into his body, and his teeth couldn't help but chatter.

This kind of ancient formation always attacked subtly. By the time Lu Cheng realized he couldn't move, it was already too late. He stood still in the formation, his body stiff, his Golden Elixir dim, his breath weak, and he was on the verge of collapse.

The power of the formation gradually weakened. If no one saved him, he would slowly die in the Mysterious Heaven Formation, and his soul would not be able to escape, trapped in his stiff body.

Mi Xiaojing had been silently observing. Seeing this result, he was truly terrified. A cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage had silently died in the formation!

In fact, Lu Cheng was not completely dead yet. He was in a state of apparent death. But if this went on for a long time, he would really become a frozen corpse.

After a moment, Mi Xiaojing cast a magical technique, and a winding path opened up in front of him, surrounded by rolling extreme cold fog.Mi Xiaojing cautiously moved forward, and soon he saw several ice pillars. He breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he was deep within the formation. The Magical Technique and Incantation given by Wang Weijun were very effective.

Wang Weijun said, "Stay by the ice pillars for a while, then cast the other two Magical Techniques. I want to test this Mysterious Heaven Formation."

Mi Xiaojing was taken aback and asked, "Test?"

"Yes, test it. Only by testing can I understand more. This Mysterious Heaven Formation is considered an Ancient Formation, although it has been simplified a lot. Ancient Formations often have many variations. Only after testing can I know the secrets of this Ancient Formation and dig out valuable things from it."

Wang Weijun provided the Magical Techniques and Incantations for the test. Mi Xiaojing familiarized himself with them for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, no problem. Shall we start now?"

"Let's start!"

Wang Weijun watched with full concentration. He had always felt that this Mysterious Heaven Formation held a secret. After this test, he should be able to figure out what the secret was.

Of course, even if he didn't completely understand, it didn't matter. At the very least, he could find some clues. He had many methods to track and find these secrets.

The reason Wang Weijun was so confident was because he had explored many ruins that others had already excavated using this ability, and had gained a lot of benefits from them.

He had a very deep understanding of Ancient Formations.
