The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 814

Chapter 814: Chapter 811: Only because I am in the midst of the mountains Chapter 814: Chapter 811: Only because I am in the midst of the mountains “It can be confirmed that it's our Buddhist Sect's Vajra Demon Suppression Circle Formation, but it's a pity no matter how we search, we can't find where the array pivot is.” Zhan Yue shook his head, expressing some helplessness.

“The two of you could try expanding the search area, there might still be other discoveries to be made,” said Shen Luo after a brief moment of thought.

“Expand the search area?” Zhan Yue and Kulin both hesitated for a while, they then stepped back a bit and began to carefully examine the square outside again.

Shen Luo did not say anything more, he smiled and, with Bai Xiaotian who was still confused, continued to move forward and examine the area.

It wasn't long before they came across Zheng Jun and Lin Qianqian, who were sitting on a large stone.

Lin Qianqian had her hands propping up her chin on her legs, her face full of a dejected expression, while Zheng Jun looked at her with smiling eyes, seemingly not much concerned about whether the barrier could be broken or not.

When the two of them saw Shen Luo and the others approaching, they greeted them, but said little else.

Shen Luo and his companions didn't linger much and continued on their way.

When the three of them had walked around a large part of the barrier, a booming sound suddenly came from ahead.

When Shen Luo looked up towards the sound, he saw Huang Ting alone, holding a snow-white longsword, hacking at the boundary light curtain.

Immediately after, it was as if a chant in the Sanskrit language arose, and on the semi-transparent curtain, a gigantic golden palm seal appeared out of nowhere, pressing down toward Huang Ting's sword.

“Boom,” another even more violent boom erupted.

Huang Ting, along with her sword, was repelled by this immense force and sent flying backward, flying a hundred feet away while spewing a mouthful of fresh blood, which instantly soaked the white silk covering her face.

Struggling, she got up from the ground, took off the silk to wipe the blood from her face, quickly replaced it with a new one, and concealed the diagonal scar near her mouth.

“Daoist Huang, this formation is extremely fierce, it cannot be overcome by force,” said Shen Luo, seeing that Huang Ting was about to try again, he couldn't help but speak out to warn her.

Upon hearing this, she finally stopped and nodded at Shen Luo as a way of thanks.

Shen Luo sighed slightly in his heart. They weren't even at the final stage of competing for the immortal apricot, yet the group had already vaguely split into factions. Kulin from Qinglian Temple and Zhan Yue from Jiuhua Mountain, Zheng Jun from Giant Sword Sect and Lin Qianqian from Mount Emei, himself with Bai Xiaotian and Nie Caizhu, with only Huang Ting alone.

However, it looked like the three of them–himself, Bai Xiaotian, and Nie Caizhu–had a slightly greater chance of success.

After walking around the semi-transparent light curtain in a full circle, Shen Luo eventually stopped at the point from where they had started. He stood still, pondered for a moment, then stepped back and began to examine the stone bricks on the ground.

A moment later, his eyebrows suddenly knitted together. He quickly backed away until he was outside the whole square before he stopped his steps.

Bai Xiaotian and Nie Caizhu followed him out with puzzled expressions on their faces, not understanding his actions.

Once Shen Luo stood still, he silently recited an incantation, and with a gentle wipe over his own eyes, his pitch-black pupils suddenly shined with a strange light, as if glowing charm patterns had appeared within them.

“Pupil Technique…” Bai Xiaotian was slightly surprised, not knowing when Shen Luo had mastered such a secret technique.

In fact, this technique was the Ghost Eye of the Netherworld that Shen Luo had previously acquired from Dragon Altar.

Throughout this period of time, besides cultivating his sword embryo, the technique he practiced the most was this one. Just two days ago, while they were traveling at night, he had been cultivating this technique and was on the verge of a breakthrough.

As the brightness in his eyes grew stronger, the scenery in front of him began to change.

He saw that outside the White Stone Square, there was also a faint light curtain, slightly yellow in color, shaped like an inverted iron pot, covering the entire range of the ground.

Shen Luo was puzzled. As the light in his eyes dimmed, he deactivated the Ghost Eye of the Netherworld, and the light curtain before him disappeared as well.

But when he used his Pupil Technique again, the light curtain in front of him reappeared.

“Haha, I understand now…” He couldn't help but laugh happily.

“What do you understand?” Bai Xiaotian asked in surprise.

“Outside this Vajra Demon Suppression Circle Formation, there's an Illusion Array,” Shen Luo said excitedly.

“Isn't that stating the obvious? I told you that already. It's just that everyone couldn't find the trace of the Illusion Array, couldn't break the Mist Barrier, so they couldn't locate the pivot of the Vajra Demon Suppression Circle Formation and were kept outside,” Bai Xiaotian said, staring at Shen Luo as if looking at an idiot.

“Mountain heavy water complex; one doubts there's a path out, but it is because one is in the mountains,” Shen Luo said, unconcerned, with a laugh.

“Hey! Can't you speak properly? What's with the riddles!” Bai Xiaotian rolled his eyes and said, somewhat irritated.

“To put it simply, they couldn't find the Illusion Array because as soon as they set foot on White Stone Square and arrived at the perimeter of the Vajra Demon Suppression Circle Formation, they already entered the Illusion Array. Searching for the flaw of the Illusion Array within the Illusion Array is a fool's errand,” Shen Luo explained.

“You mean, the Illusion Array encompasses the entire Square, and to dispel it, one must find the flaw from the outside?” Hearing this, Bai Xiaotian and Nie Caizhu both understood.

“I've already found it,” Shen Luo said with a chuckle.

Having said that, he waved his hand, and the Pure Yang Sword Embryo quickly flew towards him, carrying him up into the sky, to an altitude of a hundred feet.

Suspended in mid-air, Shen Luo looked down, his eyes flickering with light, and the full layout of the Array began to reveal itself before his eyes.

His gaze sharpened, and he looked towards the very top of the Array, that is, the center of the “pot bottom,” and murmured, “It's right here!”

With that, he swung his palm, and a burst of golden light surged beside him, accompanied by a dragon chant.

The Dragon Horn Cone, entwined with golden light, shot towards the ground below, and in an instant, hit the center of the light curtain.

There, suspended in the void, was a pale yellow feather, which at the moment of being struck by the Dragon Horn Cone, blazed up in fierce flames with a “whoosh” and quickly reduced to ashes.

As the feather vanished, a layer of light visible to the naked eye finally shone in the void, retreating like a tide in all directions, and ultimately disappeared completely.

Startled by the noise above, Zheng Jun and the others all looked up, only to see Shen Luo slowly descending from the sky. At the same time, the ground of White Stone Square below them began to undergo earth-shattering changes.

The once pristine white stone tiles covering the ground now seemed as though they had gone through a thousand years of erosion, becoming mottled and fragmented, but at the four cardinal directions of east, south, west, and north, black charm pattern lines appeared, extending outward.

“Brother Shen, he… he seems to have broken the Illusion Array?” Zheng Jun said in astonishment.

Lin Qianqian's face immediately showed joy upon hearing this.

Kulin, Zhan Yue, and the others also felt astonished and delighted. After a brief delay, they began to search around for the pivot to break the Vajra Demonic Circle Formation…

At the same time, inside Mount Putuo, watching from the Suspended Sky Mirror, the crowd couldn't help but burst into cheers.

“Incredibly meticulous. Brother Shen is really impressive…”

“So the Illusion Domain was here…” someone said, suddenly enlightened.

“Amazing, amazing! Worthy of being the man chosen by Junior Sister Nie. Truly impressive.”
