Chapter 79: The Eight Gates Locking Soul Formation
Shuiling nodded slightly and said, "That's very good." As she spoke, her gaze turned to Hu Xingxuan.
Hu Xingxuan helplessly said, "The formation diagram is done." He took out a circular disk from his hand, the disk was made of white jade, and the clean white disk had complex patterns engraved on it, looking very profound.
Ye Chen changed color. This round disc Ye Chen had seen before, it was when he was still in Night Star City, when Ye Wu Men opened the city's protective array at night, and took it out then, it was this same round disc.
Lu Tianfu looked at Ye Chen and Chen Tao, "What can these two do?" His words were filled with disdain. To say that they had some use, it was only that the not-so-young-looking youth had some understanding of this place. As for what was special about them, Lu Tianfu couldn't see anything. That bald-headed man hadn't even reached the Xiantian realm, what use could he be?
The tone of the words was very strong, Ye Chen's face looked a bit ugly, and Chen Tao was even more furious, staring fiercely at Lu Tianfu. If it weren't for his lack of strength, Chen Tao would have liked to go up and beat this self-righteous guy severely.
Ye Chen stopped Chen Tao's curse and turned to look at Lu Tianfu, a sharp aura burst out.
A sharp aura swept over like a gust of wind. Directly pouncing on Lu Tianfu, Ye Chen's aura was incredibly sharp. That was an existence that could absolutely be compared to the Eighth Stage of the Pre-Heaven Realm.
Lu Tianfu suddenly felt a sharp pain all over his face, his complexion tightened, and the aura of his whole body also started to circulate, resisting Ye Chen's momentum. However, sweat broke out on his forehead, making it clear that Lu Tianfu was having a hard time resisting.
"Alright, not even started yet, and you're already infighting?" Shuiling'er said calmly, waving her hand casually, a powerful aura dispersing Ye Chen's aura without harming him in the slightest.
Ye Chen and Lu Tianfu both retreated two steps, and Ye Chen also stopped exerting his powerful aura towards Lu Tianfu.
Lu Tianfu stared at Ye Chen, apparently the previous momentum was still there, but Lu Tianfu looked quite ugly. However, under Shuiling's gaze, he didn't rashly attack Ye Chen, only because of Shuiling's reason for being here.
"After we get off the bus." Little Wei said to several people.
As several people stood up, Shuiling suddenly emitted a powerful aura. This aura was not as sharp as Yechen's nor as scorching hot as Yuanfeng's.
But a faintly flowing coolness like water, yet with an unyielding pressure that is not sharp, only making people feel suffocated.
The water spirit's slender hands moved rhythmically in the air, and a series of water-like energy waves were emitted from her hands.
A complex pattern of ripples appeared in the void, forming a complex and beautiful pattern. Ye Chen didn't recognize this pattern, but just looking at it made him feel intoxicated.
With the appearance of this pattern, the landscape of Tianzi Mountain has undergone a dramatic change, and the original beautiful scenery suddenly became blurred.
The entire space was filled with a loud humming noise, and a strong shockwave burst forth from the blurry screen.
Perhaps it was Xiao Wei and Shui Ling'er's reminder, or perhaps it was an instinctive sense of crisis, but apart from Xiao Wei and Shui Ling'er, the other five people simultaneously displayed different methods to defend against this shockwave.
Lu Tianfu indeed did as he said, and a yellow talisman flew into the air, forming a semicircular transparent circle that blocked Lu Tianfu, Hu Xingxuan, and Hua Yumian. As for Ye Chen and Chen Tao, they were not covered by it.
Hu Xingxuan also brought out the white jade plate, and the complex patterns were filled with strong energy. Suddenly, a brilliant light burst forth, forming several columns of light that blocked the surroundings of the three people, resisting the impact of the incoming force. Of course, Hu Xingxuan did not cover Ye Chen and Chen Tao within the range of the formation either.
As for Huayu's sleep, he originally wanted to draw out the long sword on his body to block it, but seeing what Lu Tianfu and Hu Xingxuan did, he let go of the long sword in his hand.
Chen Tao and Ye Chen were not so lucky, without the talisman's obstruction, without the formation's protection, everything could only rely on themselves.
At the time of this impact, Ye Chen and Chen Tao also made their own blocks. What Ye Chen held was not the same wooden long sword as before, but just an ordinary long sword.
The long sword was unsheathed, its sharp aura directly cutting the incoming shockwave in two, passing by Ye Chen's side, but the rebound force of this shockwave also sent Ye Chen stumbling back several steps.
Chen Tao didn't have Ye Chen's sharp internal force, so he could only use the "Plum Blossom Finger" technique. A large number of leaves quickly flew up and danced in front of Chen Tao.
Chen Tao's fingers snapped and plucked, a piece of leaves spinning rapidly in mid-air, forming a leaf shield in front of Chen Tao.
However, this leaf shield is not fixed and unchanging, the leaves are constantly rotating, and the pattern is also changing continuously.
This was just a sudden idea of Chen Tao's, he didn't know if it would really work, but the shockwave was approaching in an instant.
It turned out that the first time was often not satisfactory, the shockwave struck, and the leaves shield suddenly shattered, almost didn't attack Chen Tao himself.
Chen Tao was almost blown away by the shockwave, but Ye Chen reacted quickly and grabbed Chen Tao, pulling him behind his own body, preventing Chen Tao from flying off the mountain peak and plummeting into the abyss.
The two of them stood firm, looking at Lu Tianfu and the others with unpleasant expressions. However, Lu Tianfu sneered at Chen Tao and Ye Chen, even showing a hint of regret that the shockwave hadn't blown Ye Chen off the cliff.
However, several people simultaneously turned their eyes towards the already blurred scene.
In the originally vague scene, eight gates suddenly appeared, each of which was different and flashed with different colors and light.
Shuiling and Xiao Wei stood there like two fairy maidens, slender and upright, with their clothes fluttering in the wind, looking as if they had just emerged from a painting.
Originally, everyone's attention should have been drawn to Xiaowei and Shuiling'er, but the scene before them was truly astonishing.
Even Chen Tao, who thought he had seen many strange scenes and wouldn't be surprised by anything, couldn't help but reveal a look of astonishment.
The Eight Trigrams Gate appeared in the void, with a flowing light flickering within it, looking very eerie. And this Flowing Light Gate was not only eerie, but also tall and majestic, at least three meters high.
This is not what surprises a few people, what really surprises a few people is that there is a word on each of the eight doors.
Rest, Life, Injury, End, Scene, Death, Shock, Open. Eight different characters appear in the center of eight doors and change every few seconds during the transition.
"This is the Eight Gates Lock Soul Formation. There are eight gates, with three auspicious gates: Open, Rest, and Life; three ominous gates: Death, Shock, and Injury; and two neutral gates: Du and Jing. Each gate leads to a different scene inside. Originally, if it didn't change, this formation could be deciphered, but now for some reason, these eight gates are changing every few seconds, so it's impossible to distinguish which one is auspicious and which one is ominous." Water Ling'er's voice slowly came through, echoing in the ears of several people.
At this time, Shuiling seemed to have changed suddenly, no longer lively and dynamic, but calm and solemn. It gives people a sense of indistinguishability.
But Shuiling's voice still made several people come to their senses, realizing that the Eight Gates were actually an array, and immediately broadened Ye Chen's and Chen Tao's horizons.
