Chapter 115: Sea of Flowers Tree Sword Formation and Hundred Flowers Thousand Trees Illusion Formation

Under the cover of night, quite a few people had gathered at Longshe Shan.

Longshe Shan was gradually drawing many people's attention.

Those who wanted to invade Longshe Cheng were unable to succeed; the Chen Clan's resistance was very tenacious. So, some people began to target Longshe Shan. Through investigation, they could discover that the importance of Longshe Shan was the key to the Chen Clan's recent surge in strength.

Jiang Ming would not allow such a thing to happen. He had to make a trip here. If he couldn't deal with Chen Yuan and Shang Yingnian, handling a mere Chen Chuyang would be effortless. Even knowing it was Zhuge Ruolan's scheme, he still had to come.

If he did not kill Chen Yuan, he could advance no further. That man had become his inner demon, constantly plaguing him, constantly making him hate. There was no way to target Chen Chusheng; after the first time, that man had become very cautious, spending most of his time cultivating at the Chen Clan in Longshe Cheng, rarely going out. Moreover, Chen Chusheng's strength had improved rapidly; their people had failed several times already.

Because of this, several batches of people had been lost, leading to a shortage of subordinates under Dharma Protector Jiang Ming. This time, he had decided to act personally.

"Is this Longshe Shan? Shrouded by Formations, with mist rising — it's very dangerous inside. No wonder that bitch Zhuge Ruolan didn't come, and instead let me go in and probe."

"A mere Mist Formation cannot confuse this Dharma Protector. Chen Chuyang of Longshe Shan — heh."

Dharma Protector Jiang Ming did not enter directly, but observed from outside for a long time. Sensing no danger, he studied the Formations of Longshe Shan, judged the danger level of these Formations to pose no threat to him, and let out a breath of relief. At the same time, he scanned his surroundings, searching for Zhuge Ruolan's figure, but did not find her.

"That bitch didn't follow. This Dharma Protector thought she would sneak along behind him, and then…"

He had to be careful. The Yin Gui Sect was not like other Factions; the people within the Faction all harbored ulterior motives, and double-crossing happened frequently. Inside the Faction, perhaps such situations were not permitted, but once away from the Faction, one could do as one pleased.

If your skills were inferior and you died, then you died. The Faction would not go to great lengths over a dead man.

Dharma Protector Jiang Ming had always been wary of that woman. These past days, he had not acted, spending his time recovering his cultivation. Only when his cultivation had recovered substantially did he dare to act.

"While that bitch hasn't come, I must hurry and capture Chen Chuyang."

"Longshe Shan, this Dharma Protector is coming."

Up the mountain, stepping into the Formation.

In the darkness, Li Shenghong witnessed this scene. He did not choose to enter immediately, but stayed outside, lying in wait.

"Dharma Protector Jiang Ming has gone up the mountain. It seems he truly couldn't hold back anymore. The Holy Maiden's estimate was spot on."

"However, I cannot be careless, nor can I go over. What if…"

Li Shenghong was also very cautious. Dharma Protector Jiang Ming was despicable and treacherous. Even having witnessed him go up the mountain with his own eyes, he still could not go out.

He could not expose himself. Moreover, the Formation of Longshe Shan looked simple, but from within it, he sensed a trace of killing intent.

That faint killing intent made him very… uncomfortable.

"Longshe Shan doesn't seem simple. Let Dharma Protector Jiang Ming probe it first, to see whether these Formations are very dangerous."

"The Holy Maiden is not in a hurry to capture Chen Chuyang. I still need to be more careful. The Holy Maiden's mission cannot have any accidents."

Li Shenghong crouched down and continued his vigil, never showing himself.

Atop Longshe Shan.

Chen Chuyang opened his eyes and awoke from his cultivation state.

His mind also stopped its deduction.

His head was full of restrictions; his comprehension of the outermost restriction of the Cultivation was still not complete.

Always just a little bit short. If he comprehended it, he felt he could touch upon certain secrets.

Always just a little bit short.

His cultivation of the Hunyuan Dao Scripture had been improving very quickly lately, thanks to the increase in spiritual Qi density at Longshe Shan, the augmentation of the Dragon Blood Pill, and the consumption of demonic beast blood. After his body underwent a transformation, his cultivation speed had clearly accelerated, and his understanding of this technique had also gradually deepened.

Having found a method to improve, Chen Chuyang was actually enjoying it. Perhaps a shift in mindset had triggered a breakthrough in his mental state, which in turn set off a series of changes.

Researching the Cultivation was currently one of Chen Chuyang's most important tasks, followed by comprehending the Hunyuan Dao Scripture. He contemplated both together, cultivating while comprehending, neither delaying the other.

While comprehending the restrictions of the Cultivation, he could also improve his understanding of the Hunyuan Dao Scripture. One had to admit, it was a wondrous reaction.

Chen Chuyang had never expected such an effect either. From the restrictions of the Cultivation, he had gleaned some insights, which then influenced himself.

"Someone else has come. This person is not simple."

Taking a breath, he released his Spiritual Sense, enveloping Longshe Shan.

"An old acquaintance, too. Dharma Protector Jiang Ming of the Yin Gui Sect. He seems to be trapped."

The Flowing Water Mist Formation had been strengthened. Though it was still a third-grade Formation, its power was ten times that of the original.

Incorporating the Formation insights derived from the restrictions of the Cultivation, combined with the growth of the spirit fruit trees, the additional Killing Formation had been set up. Fusing the Formations made the Formation's power rise to an even greater level.

The Killing Formation was the Sea of Flowers Tree Sword Formation, formed using numerous fruit trees as its foundation, reaching the fourth grade.

The Mist Formation was the same. The Hundred Flowers Thousand Trees Illusion Formation and the Sea of Flowers Tree Sword Formation were actually the same Formation, only their foundations differed — one was formed using spirit fruit trees as its foundation, the other using countless spirit flowers as its foundation, supplemented by some foundations that Chen Chuyang had set. The two merged into one.

The Mist Formation and the Killing Formation were integrated, fused with the Flowing Water Mist Formation. The three Formations merging could form a fifth-grade Formation.

Lethality increased by doubling, doubling, and doubling again. As for its exact power, Chen Chuyang had not had anyone test it. Dharma Protector Jiang Ming before him was the perfect test subject — and right after the Mist Formation and Killing Formation were completed, they had not yet fully demonstrated their power.

"The Killing Formation and Mist Formation have a good test subject. I wonder if he can make it up the mountain alive?"

Chen Chuyang was very much looking forward to it.

He also hoped Dharma Protector Jiang Ming could make it up the mountain.

Inside the Formation.

Dharma Protector Jiang Ming returned to his original position, back to the starting point once more. How many times had it been now?

Having gone in a full circle and returned to the starting point, several times the same thing happened. Refusing to believe it, he continued to push through.

Illusion Formation, Mist Formation, Killing Formation — three layers of Formations activated together.

Within the Formation, Dharma Protector Jiang Ming watched his arm detach from his body and fall to the ground. Blood dyed the flowers on the ground red.

The petals bloomed beautifully.

The vivid red was enchantingly alluring.

"My hand."

His arm was severed. It brushed against a tree beside him, and then was gone.

Beneath his feet, petals rose up.

Those petals were not petals, but Technique.

Every petal was a sword, like sharp blades one after another.

"Damn it, Technique."

"How could the formation here be so heaven-defying?"

"Such a formation, how could it exist on tiny Longshe Shan? Damn it, Zhuge Ruolan, she screwed me over."

"Jiang Ming Dharma Protector panicked and fled, fleeing onward."

"He couldn't worry about that."

"Not wanting to die here, those sword techniques were enough to kill him and erase his Dao."

"However, he discovered that he could not leave Longshe Shan."

"The Mist Formation and Illusion Formation confused his soul and perception, causing him to return to the starting point again."

"At this moment, Jiang Ming was about to go crazy."

"Damn it."

"How could this be?"
