Chapter 726 – Breaking into the Four Elephant Formation (Up)
Chapter 726 – Breaking into the Four Elephant Formation (Up)
“Clang, clang, clang ……”
One loud bell after another rang out, echoing throughout the entire Heavenly God Academy.
It didn’t take long for the Dragon Soul Bell to be rung thirty to forty times, and it was still being rung.
The sound of the bell was smooth, with a marvelous rhythm of its own, soothing the restless hearts.
Even the Void Refining Stage academics put down their hands for the time being and gazed towards the direction the bell came from.
“It seems that this challenger today has come prepared.”
“But ringing the Dragon Soul Bell ninety-nine times is only a prerequisite for opening the challenge, and it’s still a toss-up whether or not one can pass the three trials.”
“Especially the third trial, no one has been able to pass it for many years.”
While the academics were talking, the bell was still ringing, and in the blink of an eye, it had already been rung more than eighty times.
“There are only the last dozen or so left, and the bell is still ringing smoothly without a single murmur, it seems that this Dragon Soul Bell can’t stop today’s challenger.”
“Having nothing to do, let’s go to the Hall of Transmission to see just how far this challenger can go.”
In the Hall of Transmission, upon hearing the ninety-ninth bell being rung, the old man sitting quietly with his eyes closed on the side opened his eyes, and a hint of surprise flashed in the bottom of his eyes.
When he saw that this female cultivator was mediocre, he thought that she had come to the Heavenly God Academy with a letter of introduction, just wanting to see more, but he didn’t expect that she would actually be able to ring the Dragon Soul Bell ninety-nine times.
When ringing the Dragon Soul Bell, the dragon roar emitted by the remnant soul of the true dragon trapped inside the Dragon Soul Bell would interfere with the bell ringer’s mind, and the longer the bell was rung, the deeper the interference would be.
Ringing the Dragon Soul Bell may not seem difficult, but it is actually a test of the bell ringer’s heart, and ninety percent of the challengers have lost here.
Xu Chuniang put down the bell vertebrae, and had just detached herself from the marvelous state she was in while ringing the bell, when she was enveloped by a teleportation force.
Before she had time to react, this force of teleportation wrapped around her, arriving in an unfamiliar space.
Xu Chuniang looked around, and with a guess in her heart, she transmitted her voice to the Skywatcher’s Roar, “I’ve already rung the Dragon Soul Bell ninety-nine times, right now, the trial should officially begin, right?”
But Wang Tian Hao didn’t reply to her, instead, she was repeatedly murmuring, “No way, how is it possible ……”
Realizing how unusual Wang Tianhuo was, Xu Chuniang couldn’t help but feel a little worried, just now, Wang Tianhuo rashly checked the Dragon Soul Bell, it wouldn’t have injured his sanity, right?
“Are you alright?”
Skywatcher suddenly returned to his senses, “I’m fine, just now the dragon’s roar coming from inside that Dragon Soul Clock, how come the more I listen to it, the more familiar it sounds, it’s really strange.”
Xu Chuniang’s heart stirred, “Don’t you have a rival, could it be that inside the Dragon Soul Bell, the old dragon you mentioned is sealed?”
“By no means.”
Skywatcher categorically said, “Just a short while ago, that old dragon was still trapped in the Ten Thousand Demon Mound in the Black Wind Demon Region, how could it possibly be here.”
“But, don’t you think it’s strange?”
Xu Chuniang vaguely felt that she had probed into some sort of hidden secret.
“The Dragon Soul Clock and the Soul Suppressor Pot have similar spell patterns, it’s highly likely that they came from the same person, you’re trapped in the Soul Suppressor Pot, and in the Dragon Soul Clock, it just so happens that a true dragon is also sealed.”
Skywatcher was speechless for a long time, he also felt that this was all too much of a coincidence.
“But I’m sure that old dragon is still lingering in the Ten Thousand Demon Mound, she refined a Dragon Sacred Tree, it’s not that easy to die.”
“Dragon Sacred Tree?”
Xu Chuniang recalled that when she was in the Ten Thousand Demon Mound, the twig had said that it had sensed the aura of its kind.
Could it be that the kind it referred to was another Dragon Clan Sacred Tree?
That twig’s true origin, I’m afraid that with this Dragon Sacred Tree, the same can’t be unrelated …… “This Dragon Race Sacred Tree is actually transformed from a severed branch of the Hongmongolia Tree, and after the Dragon Race obtained this severed branch, it was regarded as the most precious treasure, and was watered day and night with dragon’s blood, causing it to thrive and grow.”
As a Dragon Eater’s Harvest, for these Dragon Clan secrets, Skywatcher was naturally not unfamiliar with them.
“That branch on you, is also from the Dragon Clan’s Sacred Tree, only that it was severely damaged, and its grade fell from an Innate Spiritual Treasure to a Latter Heavenly Spiritual Treasure, and its utility was greatly reduced.
The Dragon Sacred Tree contains profound healing laws, the healing effect is amazing, relying on that point of the Sacred Tree branch, that old dragon can at least live for several thousand years.”
So, this was the reason why Skywatcher was certain that his counterpart couldn’t possibly appear in the Dragon Soul Clock.
“However, the dragon trapped in the Ten Thousand Demon Mound only has a remnant soul left, and the one in the Dragon Soul, likewise only has a remnant soul, could it be that someone, has torn her soul apart?”
Xu Chuniang’s eyes flashed with a thoughtful look, “Or, was it when the master in the dragon’s soul made his move, she escaped?”
“When you say it like that, it’s not impossible, hahahahaha ……”
Skywatcher didn’t know what came to his mind, and suddenly laughed maniacally.
“What are you laughing at?”
“I’m laughing at that old dragon for being so smart and inviting helpers, but instead ended up in this situation, even his divine soul was torn in half, even worse than me, hahahahaha ……”
Xu Chuniang was speechless for a while, “That helper she invited back then, who exactly was it?”
Wang Tianhao’s laughter came to an abrupt end, and only after a long time did he say, “It’s an existence that I don’t want to mention, in short …… it’s very strong.”
Xu Chuniang asked again, but he refused to speak.
“Cultivation to the Mahayana stage is in line with the Dao as well, once the origin and name of that person is revealed, it is highly likely that the two of us will be sensed.
Don’t forget that you have a challenge coming up next, any further delay is going to cause suspicion.”
Xu Chuniang’s heart flinched and did not ask any more questions, turning to survey the space in front of her.
“This first level is the most simple, the test is the strength of the challenger, see the southeast, west, north and west of those four arrays have not, this is the four elephants array.
As long as you defeat the formation spirits in the formations in turn, you will be able to pass the level.”
Hearing the Skywatcher’s Roar’s explanation, Xu Chuniang nodded her head slightly and walked towards the formation in the due east direction.
“Ow……”
The Green Dragon Formation in the due east direction was triggered, and along with a clear and loud dragon roar, a small dragon in the early stage of Void Refining appeared above the formation.
“It’s a pity that this little dragon was transformed by the aura in the formation, or else catching him would have quenched his hunger.”
Skywatcher smashed his mouth somewhat regretfully, “The green dragon that was transformed by this formation is far worse than a real dragon, with your strength you can just fight it.
However, your every move here will be seen by the outside world, just don’t reveal your Twin Life Dharma Domain.”
Xu Chuniang pondered a little, unsheathed the sword she had been carrying on her back, and swung it towards the green dragon transformed by the aura.
The massive body of the green dragon was exceptionally dexterous, and with a vertical swing, it actually dodged this human sword.
Seeing this, the scholars watching the battle in the Hall of Transmission shook their heads, clearly not optimistic about Xu Chuniang.
“I thought that today’s challenger was a cultivator from one of the great clans, but from the looks of it, she’s just empty of a Daoist heart.”
“Words can’t be said that way, the strength of this daoist’s dao heart is actually already better than many cultivators of the Void Practicing Stage, it’s just that her strength, after all, is too low.”
