Chapter 2352: Strange, where are the formation eye and base?

The two walked around the formation several times, yet they couldn't find the formation base or eye.

This is ridiculous; the formation right before us is clearly below immortal level—it shouldn't be like that.

Tianlin and Miao Qianqian clicked their tongues in amazement, then simultaneously turned their gazes toward Hong Zun.

Earlier, we learned from Ye Zhangqing that this formation also has the ability to refine and transform vital energy.

For a moment, Miao Qianqian asked curiously.

"Senior, what does it feel like inside this formation?"

Huh???

Miao Qianqian is naturally outspoken and sometimes speaks without restraint, but she means no harm.

Just hearing that, Hong Zun's mouth twitched: "Little girl, do you have any manners?"

His expression complex, he gritted his teeth and replied.

"I, old man, can't say either."

"Is there anywhere you feel uncomfortable? Or are you feeling weak?"

"You'll know once you go in yourselves."

"We................."

"Don't say it."

Miao Qianqian wanted to say more, but Tianlin beside her pulled her back, asking, "How can you ask people like that?"

The two had come out of curiosity, but after this observation they gained nothing.

Looks like we can only wait for the master from Formation King Immortal City to arrive.

They didn't stay long; seeing nothing, the two left.

With Ye Zhangqing's return to the sect, the canteen naturally reopened after a long hiatus; that evening, many disciples gathered outside the canteen.

Those disciples who had just joined the sect were seeing Ye Zhangqing for the first time.

Before, we had heard from senior brothers and sisters how Ye Zhangqing's talents were stunning, and his culinary skill was even more superb.

We've heard it so much our ears are calloused.

Now we finally get to see the real person; our excitement is off the charts.

Dry rations, many disciples have eaten, but this freshly cooked meal hasn't been tried by all.

As the steaming hot food came out of the pot, the disciples who joined later took a bite, their expressions priceless.

The dry rations already made them unable to put them down, endlessly memorable.

They felt that even just for this bite, joining the Dao One Immortal Sect was already worth it.

But now, after tasting Ye Zhangqing's freshly cooked meal, its flavor surpasses the dry rations by a notch, making the disciples love it even more.

One by one, they couldn't stop praising it, unable to stop eating.

Xu Jie and Zhao Zhengping, although they stayed outside the formation to look after Hong Zun, also didn't delay their meals.

Lu Youyou personally brought food to the two.

Sitting on the ground outside the formation, they immediately began to eat heartily.

Although the two ate to their fill, Hong Zun inside the formation was numb.

Because the formation blocks things, nothing can get in or out, so even if he wanted to eat, he couldn't.

To make matters worse, he has to watch these two ungrateful disciples stuff their faces with oil dripping from their mouths right in front of him.

"Ungrateful disciples, what are you doing?"

Unable to hold back, he shouted; hearing this, Zhao Zhengping hadn't reacted yet and asked strangely.

"We're eating, Master."

"I know; could you go farther away to eat?"

"Why?"

"Because I can't eat."

Hong Zun yelled angrily; upon hearing that, Zhao Zhengping shrank his neck, only then realizing what had happened.

Forgotten that the master couldn't eat, having not had this fresh meal in a long time, they only cared about their own enjoyment.

Finally, Zhao Zhengping and Xu Jie could only retreat to a place where Hong Zun couldn't see them, waiting to return after they finished eating.

Watching the two ungrateful disciples walk away, Hong Zun's chest heaved with anger as he panted heavily.

He muttered that he must have great fortune to have such "filial" disciples.

"When will the people from Formation King Immortal City arrive?"

Feeling like crying but with no tears, he thought he had no other ideas—just wanted to leave this damned place as soon as possible.

This damn formation, how can it be so absurd?

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed; that morning, early, the elder from Formation King Immortal City brought two disciples rushing to the Dao One Immortal Sect.

Speaking of it, Formation King Immortal City and the Dao One Immortal Sect have neither friendship nor grudge.

Therefore, when Tianlin spoke up, that elder readily agreed.

Ye Zhangqing personally greeted them; upon meeting, they exchanged pleasantries.

"Greetings, Young Master Ye, Heavenly Young Master, and Holy Maiden Miao."

"Greetings, senior; thank you for your trouble this time."

"No problem, just a small effort; being able to help Young Master Ye is enough."

"Thank you, senior."

Not keeping Hong Zun waiting, over these days his temper grew more irritable, so Ye Zhangqing directly led people to the formation.

Xu Jie and Zhao Zhengping still guarded outside the formation, keeping Hong Zun company with talk, but mainly they just got scolded.

Seeing the Formation Immortal City Elder finally arrive, the two were overjoyed; really, over the past two days, being scolded by the master had become almost unbearable.

"Please, senior, save my master."

The two performed a respectful salute; the Formation Immortal City Elder nodded, then also paid respects to Hong Zun inside the formation.

Only then did he begin to examine the formation.

With just a glance, the elder spoke.

"This formation must have been improved from the Nine Dragon Lock Demon Formation, right?"

Sure enough, an expert can tell at a glance; with just one look, the Formation King Immortal City Elder saw through the foundation of this formation.

Indeed, it was improved from the Nine Dragon Lock Demon Formation; Xu Jie also nodded in acknowledgment.

This Nine Dragon Lock Demon Formation, in the Immortal Realm, is nothing profound; it can practically be said to be run-of-the-mill.

Any formation master who has accomplished cultivation knows this formation nine times out of ten.

Moreover, the diagram of the Nine Dragon Lock Demon Formation can be bought in any moderately sized city's shop, and it's not expensive.

Precisely for this reason, the Nine Dragon Lock Demon Formation spreads widely in the Immortal Realm.

Xu Jie practicing with this formation is therefore not surprising.

As soon as he started, he showed a skill, giving Xu Jie full confidence in this Formation King Immortal City Elder.

No wonder he's an Immortal-level formation master; this time the master should finally be able to break free.

Even Hong Zun inside the formation thought so, after all, he's a professional.

A master who majored in the way of formations is far beyond that rebellious disciple, a half‑taught wild‑way practitioner; they are the orthodox path.

As if he had already seen himself breaking free, Hong Zun's mood finally improved a bit; he silently sighed, having finally made it through—no easy feat.

However, this Formation King Immortal City Elder walked around the formation once; then, under the expectant gazes of Hong Zun, Xu Jie, Zhao Zhengping, and Ye Zhangqing,

He furrowed his brows, as if encountering an unsolvable problem, stared intently at the formation, and then uttered a sentence that left everyone stunned.

"How strange, why can't I find the location of the formation's base and eye?"

Huh???

That familiar‑sounding remark left the already hopeful Hong Zun stunned, as if struck by lightning.

His gaze vacant, he looked at the other person and said, 'You can't find the formation's base and eye?'
