Chapter 1335: I’ve Seen It Before
Two hours quickly passed.
Elder Hua Feng’s side had no noise at all, other than his tightly knitted brows and the increasingly intense worry in his eyes.
Great King Xuan Masters solving a Xuan formation left behind by Grandmaster Xuan Master was filled with impossibilities on its own. Now, he could only hope that he could discover the weakness of this Xuan formation as soon as possible. Then, the few of them could work together and use this breaking point.
Perhaps they might have a tinge of hope to succeed.
Though the elders waited anxiously, they didn’t dare to urge him as they waited quietly.
Chu Liuyue stared at the Xuan formation for quite a while but still couldn’t quite remember it. Additionally, as it was easy for her to become dizzy and her head to hurt after looking at it for an extended period of time, she swiftly gave up.
This Xuan formation was huge, and the lines on it were as complicated as ever.
She casually chose a spot and stared at it for a while. After she felt uncomfortable, she looked elsewhere.
The other elders didn’t quite notice this. They had long known that Chu Liuyue had talent as a Xuan Master, so they just thought that she was trying to learn and didn’t think much of it.
As Chu Liuyue scrutinized the Xuan formation, she instinctively tried to replicate it in her mind. However, such a Xuan formation was too high in level, so she couldn’t succeed.
No matter how clearly she saw it with her eyes, the image in her mind was always a blurred one. She had long predicted this, so she didn’t give up and slowly observed the Xuan formation.
…
Another two hours passed.
The few elders started to become restless.
Elder Bo Yan’s side was clearly not very optimistic, and they were trapped here as well, without knowing when they could get out.
Even if they got out, they wouldn’t even know how to find the other people from the academy.
At this point, even a fool could guess that they were definitely in trouble.
However, Elder Hua Feng hadn’t made much progress.
“Hm?” Chu Liuyue’s shocked voice came from the side.
The few elders looked over and realized that she was staring at the Xuan formation, and her expression seemed amiss.
“Chu Yue, what’s wrong?” asked an elder.
Chu Liuyue recovered her senses and smiled at the elders in comfort. “Nothing much. I just feel that the Xuan formation… is very profound.”
“A Grandmaster’s work is naturally extraordinary.”
The few elders didn’t doubt anything else as they helplessly shook their heads. “I wonder who is targeting us like this.”
In the entire God Residence Realm, there were top-tier aristocratic families with Grandmasters. But with only one Xuan Master here, it was clearly useless to identify the other party’s identity. Besides, some families would even purposely hide experts of such skill, so it was even harder to guess.
Chu Liuyue retracted her gaze and silently exhaled. Looking at the Xuan formation before her, her eyes were still filled with shock that didn’t fade away. That was because she suddenly remembered why she found this familiar just now—the two Xuan formations that Dugu Mobao had previously left behind to test her were shockingly similar to this one in some areas!
It was hard to describe this feeling, and people who weren’t Xuan Masters wouldn’t even be able to detect it. This was because this type of similarity was really too minute, and they were basically just some small details.
She had only suddenly discovered it after staring at it for four hours!
But… isn’t this too ridiculous? Judging from the force that was used to craft this Xuan formation, it definitely wasn’t created by Dugu Mobao. However, this Xuan formation is indeed very similar in some strange way to those he has created. To say that this is a coincidence… Chu Liuyue didn’t believe it. She stood rooted to the spot in a daze, and quite a few scenes appeared in succession in her mind—including Dugu Mobao forcefully trapping her on Jiuheng Peak before he left…
Back then, she had already found it weird. Now seeing the strangely similar Xuan formation, she confirmed the guess in her heart even more—Back then, Dugu Mobao purposely didn’t let her come to the Flood-Desert Northern Region!
However, she was extremely confused as to who crafted this Xuan formation.
Chu Liuyue thought for a moment and planned to suppress this doubt first. I can directly ask Dugu Mobao about this after I see him in the future. But now… it is more important to leave this place directly.
Thinking of this, Chu Liuyue turned around to look at Elder Hua Feng.
He still had the same posture as he stared at the Xuan formation before him with tightly knitted brows. Clearly, he hadn’t found the solution to it.
“Elder Hua Feng,” said Chu Liuyue suddenly.
Hearing this, Elder Hua Feng turned around, his eyes still dazed. “Chu Yue? What’s the matter?”
The other elders also looked over strangely.
Chu Liuyue pressed her lips against each other and said, “I suddenly remembered that I seem to have seen a similar Xuan formation before.”
Her light sentence caused the gazes of everyone present to change instantly!
“Really?”Elder Hua Feng quickly walked over. “Where did you see it before? Who made it?
Chu Liuyue hurriedly said, “I j-just happened to see it in some cave, and it was engraved on the walls. As for who left it behind, I’m not sure either. That Xuan formation’s level also… seems much lower than this one…”
A look of disappointment flashed across Elder Hua Feng’s face. Originally, I thought that I could find a breakthrough on Chu Yue’s side, but it’s all for naught.
Following that, he suddenly recalled something. “Then, do you remember what the Xuan formation looks like?”
Chu Liuyue nodded. “Roughly.”
“Draw it out for me to see!” As Elder Hua Feng spoke, he hurriedly made space for Chu Liuyue. It doesn’t matter even if it’s a Xuan formation of a slightly lower level. As long as it really is similar, perhaps I can use it to continue solving this one!
Chu Liuyue pressed her lips against each other and glanced at him rather uneasily. “It has been a long time since then, and I didn’t look at it closely at that time, so there might be some mistakes in between…”
“It’s nothing; you don’t have to worry about this. Just try to draw it out for me to see!” comforted Elder Hua Feng. Right now, I can only make a Hail Mary effort. Even if there is only a speck of hope, I have to try it.
Chu Liuyue then sighed with ease. “I’ll start then.”
After that, she held her breath in to focus and gently raised her arm.
Her white fingers lightly moved around in mid-air. A ray of light silently flew out and later dispersed into a few more intersecting lines.
Elder Hua Feng sighed in his heart as he watched. Chu Yue is extremely talented as a Xuan Master. Although these movements don’t seem as smooth and carefree as they should be, he is already comparatively outstanding. If I can take him in as my disciple and teach him properly, he could probably suppress quite a few students on the Xuan Master side. He might not even be any weaker than Lin Zhifei, whose reputation has soared recently.
Chu Liuyue crafted the Xuan formation extremely slowly, and she had to stop and think about it from time to time. Besides, the Xuan formation was empty in some parts, and some patterns were intertwined together complicatedly.
All in all, it seemed like she was really unfamiliar with this Xuan formation.
After some time, Chu Liuyue finally ‘finished’ the Xuan formation. She looked at Elder Hua Feng uneasily. “Elder, it should be like this.”
