Chapter 227: Stalemate
Mi Xiaojing looked at the two men in surprise and asked Wang Weijun, "Why aren't they coming in?"
Wang Weijun replied, "They won't come in until they understand the principles of the formation. Yes, this is the correct way to handle it. If they just barged in, I would have to question how they advanced to the Elemental Infant stage. They should have died long ago."
Mi Xiaojing didn't expect Wang Weijun to evaluate it this way: "So, not coming in is the right thing to do? That's true, if they don't understand the ancient formation, coming in is indeed seeking death."
He also understood that this was indeed the best choice. There was no need for either of them to take risks. As long as they guarded the ancient formation, they would eventually find a way to break it. This was much wiser than blindly rushing in.
Wang Weijun said, "Remember, when you're exploring in the wild and encounter a similar ancient formation, never rush in immediately. First, retreat, then try to trigger the formation, like catching a cultivator and throwing them in. This way, you can see the reaction of the ancient formation. This is the easiest way to identify an ancient formation. If you still can't figure it out, it's best to ignore it for the time being. Preserving your life is the most important thing."
Mi Xiaojing replied, "Yes, I understand. I can't rush into the formation recklessly. I can only go in when I'm sure."
As the two continued to observe, the teleportation formation lit up again.
In an instant, a figure appeared on the teleportation formation.
It was Elder Yu Hong!
Da Tou Zheng and Thousand Poisons launched their attacks simultaneously. However, the first attack was too fast and was blocked by the teleportation formation. The two couldn't help but curse inwardly. They had forgotten that the teleportation formation was almost immune to attacks at the moment of activation.
Before their attacks ended, they launched a second attack.
By this time, Yu Hong was prepared. He roared, and his spirit sword instantly protected his body. With a loud bang, he was sent flying by this force and crashed into the Mysterious Heaven Formation.
Even if Yu Hong was a late-stage Elemental Infant expert, he couldn't withstand this attack. Da Tou Zheng was also a late-stage Elemental Infant, and Thousand Poisons was even capable of fighting against a Great Perfection Elemental Infant without falling behind. When the two teamed up, Yu Hong naturally suffered.
Fortunately, this was at the edge of the Mysterious Heaven Formation. Yu Hong was knocked into the Mysterious Heaven Formation and disappeared into the ancient formation in an instant.
The Mysterious Heaven Formation had been controlled by the Heart Sect for many years, so Yu Hong was very familiar with it. Naturally, he wouldn't be attacked by the ancient formation. After landing, he quickly cast several magical techniques and an incantation. Immediately, the attack that the ancient formation was brewing subsided.
However, Yu Hong was still slightly injured from the previous attack. He swallowed a Spirit Pill and quickly retreated towards the treasury.
Da Tou Zheng was a bit disappointed. He said, "If it weren't for this ancient formation, that guy would be dead!"
Thousand Poisons retorted, "Nonsense!"
Da Tou Zheng was furious. He turned around abruptly and glared at Thousand Poisons, "What do you mean by nonsense!"
Thousand Poisons didn't care and said, "It is nonsense. If it weren't for this ancient formation, what the hell would we be waiting for here? We would have rushed in long ago!"
Da Tou Zheng was choked by Thousand Poisons' words and didn't know how to respond. If his strength was stronger than Thousand Poisons', he might have been able to argue, but he knew that his strength was indeed inferior to Thousand Poisons'.
This time, he realized how formidable Thousand Poisons was. In several battles, the opponent fought leisurely, with tactics that were ever-changing and unpredictable. He had reminded himself to be careful of this guy, and he was already wary in his heart.
Mi Xiaojing also began to feel uneasy. He was now in a dilemma, unable to leave or join Yu Hong. The only good thing was that he was standing in a relatively safe place. As long as he stayed still, there would be no danger for the time being.
From this position, he could clearly see the mysteries of the ancient formation's operation. Mi Xiaojing was still a bit confused, but Wang Weijun had gained a lot. He began to truly understand the operation of the Mysterious Heaven Formation and was looking for the corresponding magical techniques and incantations.
Once he found the corresponding magical techniques and incantations, he would know how to control this large formation. At the very least, he could avoid the attacks of the ancient formation.
When Yu Hong rushed through the ancient formation, he saw the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden at a glance. He asked, "How are you? Are you hurt?"
The Azure Descent Immortal Maiden shook her head slightly and said coldly, "I'm fine. With the ancient formation blocking them, they absolutely can't get through unless they break the formation!"
Yu Hong gave a bitter smile and said, "I'm not afraid of the others, but this Thousand Poisons is too difficult to deal with. He's even more troublesome than Xu Zhongqing. My junior brother Mu almost got killed by him. If it weren't for someone who cured the poison, my junior brother Mu would have been completely finished."
The Azure Descent Immortal Maiden didn't know about this. She was stunned when she heard this and said, "What?"
Yu Hong said, "It's Thousand Poisons' method. The combination of Evolutionary Immortality and Cultivation is truly unpredictable. If you encounter him in the future, be as careful as possible. Avoid him if you can."
The Azure Descent Immortal Maiden took a deep breath and asked, "Who saved him?"
The Azure Descent Immortal Maiden was quite shocked. She and Mu Hengyuan were both mid-stage Elemental Infants, and their strengths were not much different. If Mu Hengyuan was almost killed, then she wouldn't be able to win if she fought.
Yu Hong said, "It was Mi Xiaojing. The kid still has the ability of Evolutionary Immortality. He neutralized the poison on Junior Brother Mu's body. As for the injury, it's not important. A Spirit Pill can cure it."
The Azure Descent Immortal Maiden was dumbfounded, "Ah? That alchemy kid, he can actually neutralize Thousand Poisons' poison! That's incredible!"
Yu Hong said, "Yes, I didn't expect it either. This kid has contributed a lot to the sect."
Unfortunately, Mi Xiaojing didn't hear this. If he had, he would probably feel very upset. He never thought about helping the Heart Sect, but what he did actually helped the sect.

Speaking of which, he had no choice in these matters. These were all necessary processes for his growth.
After observing for about ten minutes, Thousand Poisons said, "This ancient formation seems to be the Mysterious Heaven Formation? But it's quite different from the Mysterious Heaven Formation. I can't fully distinguish it."Zheng Datou was far less knowledgeable in this area. He couldn't even recognize the shadow of the Mysterious Heaven Formation. However, he did know a bit about what the Mysterious Heaven Formation was. He said, "Stop joking around. How could this possibly be the Mysterious Heaven Formation? Isn't that an ancient formation? Wait a minute, if this really is the Mysterious Heaven Formation, doesn't that mean this formation isn't from the Heart Sect?"
Thousand Poisons' eyes also lit up. He couldn't help but clap his hands and said, "Haha, that's right. The Heart Sect couldn't possibly set up such an ancient formation. This means that this place could very likely be a relic!"
Every cultivator understood what a relic meant. To a cultivator, it was like a drug addict encountering a high-quality drug, possessing a deadly temptation.
No cultivator would ever give up on a relic. Even if it meant risking their lives, the relic was worth the risk. To be continued... Your support is my greatest motivation. 161011090317
