Star Divination!
The trio rushed to a dense and silent forest home to lush trees that Yang Xiao visited yesterday. Yang Xiao found the large void was rather odd but didn’t scout it using his divine soul energy. Yang Tian was unable to identify the oddity in spite of his divine soul prowess. Not even Chubby could tell there was something weird.
Chubby took out a bootleg compass with golden primordial text within. In the centre was a yin yang diagram.
Yang Xiao: “It’s Daoism’s ancient compass.”
Chubby sat down. When he opened his eyes, a jet of golden light hit the compass, undulating the void gently. He then activated the yin yang symbol, having it emit a pillar of light vertically. He flicked his sleeve gently, lining up nine crimson copper coins in the air, but they continuously switched positions. Using a technique known as Nine Stars Scout, he levitated the compass on the round, while the nine coins dropped onto it. The text on the compass flashed as the yin yang diagram rotated rapidly.
The nine stars fired nine beams that resonated with stars in the sky. The compass emanated luminous energy, and coins vibrated – Star Divination. As he sent out energy to cover the entire forest, Chubby turned pale. Once a tree undulated, Chubby stopped the phenomena in the void. Whilst taking out a golden disc and releasing energy to conceal them, he ordered, “Hide up!”
An elder, dressed in white, jumped out, then discharged his divine soul energy around the entire forest and searched it.
Yang Xiao pursed his lips. “Li Clan has, at least, two Half-Step Autarch Realm adepts by the looks of it.”
“Uncle Xiao, will the killing formation you mentioned work?”
“Mm, I think so. If you use two pieces of divine materials as the main component, it’s a cinch to trap two Half-Step Autarch Realm adepts.
“I hope it works.”
The killing formation mentioned utilised amber divine stone and a grain of stardust as the main components. Yang Tian asked Meng Yunxi to purchase a large volume of helianthus and sturdy materials for that very purpose.
The trio in the formation weren’t worried as not even a golden divine lion would detect them in there, let alone a Half-Step Autarch Realm adept. The trio discussed their betting again, with chubby mentioning he betted two spiritual herbs ten thousand years old.
“Hehe, how about you give me a few formation discs so that I can get out of pinches.”
Chubby grinned and generously handed over two formation discs. “Fine by me. I’ll lend you two. “
Xiaoji handed Yang Tian two dull black beads. Unable to tell what they were and assuming they weren’t just plain balls, Yang Tian inquired, “What are these?’
Xiaoji wore an ambiguous smile. “They’re nine nether beads, which is a material used to refine nine nether dead qi. You’ll love them if nothing goes awry.”
“Uncle Xiao, are they strong?”
Yang Xiao: “They have nine nether death qi, so they could reduce Dao Weapons to scrap.”
The elder searching for the trio, bewildered, decided to leave. Chubby, therefore, removed the formation and ran over to the big tree they saw ripple before. He confidently declared, “This is the door and the heart of the formation…”
Yang Tian surprised himself when he touched the tree branch.
Yang Xiao smiled with a murderous undertone. “The chubby runt is skilled. I think you could blow the formation apart if you draw Chaos Lightning onto it.”
Every faction had a mountain protection formation that others weren’t supposed to invade and deterred invaders.
Yang Tian: “That would hurt them more than receiving a physical beat down.”
Yang Xiao: “I’d say so. The lightning will nullify their efforts to activate any large-scale formations. If the formations operate autonomously, they won’t pose much of a threat.”
Chubby: “Yang Tian, what are you looking for the formation for?’
“Haha, nothing. You’ll find out. If I can open it, you should go in and loot.”
The intrigued duo from Desolate Domain tried to find out more to no avail.
