In an open space beside the tower, Lei Yuce and Wen Zhong stood side by side, quietly watching the scene in front of them.
"Fellow cultivator Lei, how confident are you in this method?" Wen Zhong's lips moved slightly as he transmitted his voice.
"Even if it's not 99%, at least 60% to 70%.
Besides, in order to get the Lamp of Time, even if there's only a 10% chance, I have to give it a try. Don't you think so, Fellow cultivator Wen? "Lei Yuce's eyes flashed as he transmitted his voice back.
"It is said that the Lamp of Time is an immortal treasure that the Tai Sui Immortal Lord spent a lifetime to refine. I wonder what kind of treasure it is." Wen Zhong's face was also full of anticipation.
"Speaking of which, Deputy Sect Leader Lei, your love for Su Liqian is your own business. However, this Flowing Time Lamp concerns the future development of our Heavenly Sword Sect. You better not let your personal feelings affect the important matters." Wen Zhong looked at Lei Yuce and spoke slowly, seemingly with deep meaning.
"Don't worry. Since I am the Deputy Sect Leader, I naturally know what to do," Lei Yuce frowned slightly and said solemnly.
"That's good." Wen Zhong's face relaxed.
With the help of nearly 100 people, the formation patterns on the ground were carved quickly. In less than half a day, two incomparably huge spirit designs, one black and one white, had been carved in front of the giant gray tower.
The two spirit designs coordinated with each other, presenting a situation of yin and yang.
"This is...." Han Li was mixed in the crowd, looking at the spirit designs in front of him. His eyes flashed, and he immediately contacted the Weeping Soul Beast and the Child of Essence Flame.
After a few breaths, his body exuded a mixture of hot and cold aura.
"Everyone, these are the twin spirit designs that the Alliance Leader has designed to break the giant tower's restriction. Each spirit design requires 50 fellow cultivators to activate. Next, I will select the list of names. Those who are called, step forward," Wen Zhong said loudly as he flew into the air.
At this time, there were about a thousand people gathered in front of the tower. There was a commotion, but no one dared to say anything. They only prayed in their hearts that they would not be called.
Anyone could see how terrifying the restriction outside the tower was. To break it would definitely be very dangerous.
Wen Zhong saw the expressions of the crowd. How could he not know what they were thinking? He secretly sneered and immediately began to call out names.
"You, you, you …"
Every time he pointed at a person, a ray of white light would shoot out from his hand and land on that person's body, lingering for a long time.
In less than a moment, 100 cultivators from the Alliance were picked out. Although they were unwilling, they still walked out.
The cultivation bases of these hundred people varied. Some were Primordial Immortals, some were Gold Immortals, and some were even True Immortals.
However, these people all had a special characteristic, and that was that they all cultivated either extreme Yang or extreme Yin cultivation methods.
"It really is the Yin Yang Twin Formation …" Han Li's eyes flashed as he murmured to himself.
If it was a normal day, it would be fine to take some risks to activate the array in order to obtain the treasure.
However, he was being watched in secret at the moment, so he couldn't enter the formation no matter what. Thus, he used a secret technique to transfer a portion of Weeping Soul Beast's and Child Flame's vital energy into his own body, creating a mixed aura.
Although Han Li had traveled with Yu Kuohai and the others for a few days, he hadn't clearly exposed his cultivation method. Now that his aura had changed slightly, it didn't arouse the trio's suspicions.
On the other side of the crowd, the Lan siblings both cultivated in Yin-attribute techniques. Although the two of them had used a secret technique to conceal their true cultivation, their auras were unable to change too much. Thus, they were also chosen as one of the fifty Yin-attribute people.
Perhaps they didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble, but the two of them could only obediently obey.
"How unlucky …" Lan Yan sat on a node in the black array and couldn't help but complain telepathically.
"It's just activating a formation. Just bear with it for a while, but you must be careful not to expose your true cultivation base," Lan Yuanzi replied telepathically.
"I know. Don't worry, big brother. A formation of this level is nothing." Lan Yan nodded and promised.
"May I ask, Senior Wen, is there any danger in activating the Twin Formation to break the restriction?" A black-robed middle-aged man next to Lan Yan asked nervously.
Wen Zhong glanced at him and said indifferently, "How can there be no danger in exploring the treasure vault? If you're so afraid of danger, why did you enter in the first place?"
The black-robed middle-aged man's face turned red and he hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to say anything.
"You don't have to worry too much. Breaking the restriction outside the tower is using a formation to break a formation. Although there is some danger, it shouldn't be too big if there are no accidents.
Furthermore, everyone who participates in breaking the restriction will be rewarded by the Alliance. You won't be working for nothing. "Wen Zhong looked at the others and said comfortingly.
Hearing this, the expressions of the people in the formation eased slightly.
"Let's begin!" Lei Yuce sat in the air above the two formations and said indifferently.
The two formations on the ground immediately began to activate, each shining with bright black and white light.
Everyone in the formation felt their bodies become heavy as they were enveloped by a powerful restriction, unable to move. At the same time, the formation below them released a devouring force, quickly sucking away the Celestial Spiritual Qi in their bodies.
The hearts of everyone in the formation shuddered, but they soon discovered that apart from the Celestial Spiritual Qi being sucked away, there were no other abnormalities.
Lei Yuce carefully looked at the operation of the two formations on the ground. Seeing that everything was going smoothly, he nodded slightly, then put his hands together and separated them.
The black and white spell formations lit up, and a sharp whistling sound rang out as a series of arm-thick black and white ribbons of light flew out from the two spell formations. There were over a hundred of them, and they all flew toward the stone gate of the giant grey pagoda.
The Lightning Restriction on the stone door seemed to have sensed the threat and suddenly shone brightly. Thick bolts of dark gray lightning appeared, each of them exuding a faint fluctuation of the Power of Law. They slashed at the black and white bands of light.
The black and white light ribbons were instantly torn apart like paper mache.
Among the crowd, Han Li's pupils shrank as he murmured, "What a powerful Yin Lightning!"
The power of law emitted by this Yin Lightning was the complete opposite of the law of lightning in his Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords.
The law of lightning in his Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords had inherited the characteristics of the Divine Devilbane Lightning. It was masculine and masculine, but this black lightning was the complete opposite, emitting a powerful Yin Qi.
If he had the chance, he would like to study this Yin Lightning.
Lei Yuce didn't react to this, as if he had already expected this. He muttered an incantation and quickly formed a hand seal.
The black and white formations on the ground suddenly brightened by more than ten times, forming hundreds of black and white pillars of light that were thousands of feet tall.
A surging Yin and Yang aura emanated from the two pillars of light.
Lei Yuce formed a hand seal, and two large flags, one black and one white, flew out from his body and floated above his head.
The white flag was embroidered with the image of a sun, while the black flag was embroidered with the image of a moon. Both flags emitted astonishing fluctuations of spiritual energy and the power of law. It was clear that they were high quality immortal artifacts.
He raised his hands, and the black and white flags began to revolve in the air.
The black and white pillars of light were affected by the black and white flags, and they began to revolve faster and faster, forming an incomparably large black and white whirlwind.
The whirlwind shone with dazzling black and white light, and bursts of powerful law fluctuations burst forth.
"Go!" Lei Yuce formed a hand seal, and pushed outwards.
The black and white whirlwind immediately pressed forward, engulfing the bottom of the grey pagoda, and rapidly revolved.
Rumble!
The greyish-black lightning around the grey pagoda flourished again, and it was even more powerful than before. Countless bolts of greyish-black lightning appeared, striking the black and white whirlwind, and the sound of metal scraping against metal rang out.
Above the stone gate, in particular, bolts of greyish-black lightning that resembled wyrms burst forth, shattering the void in their wake.
However, the black and white whirlwind wasn't as fragile as the black and white ribbons of light from before. Not only was it not torn apart, but it also rapidly revolved, sucking in the greyish-black lightning.
The bolts of greyish-black lightning were like fish that had fallen into a net, and no matter how they struggled, they couldn't escape.
The crowd of cultivators immediately cheered when they saw this.
The black and white Dharma Array suddenly unleashed its power, and the Celestial Spiritual Force of the people inside the Dharma Array immediately gushed out like a tidal wave. There were even bolts of Yin Demonic Lightning Power transmitted through the air, and everyone inside the Dharma Array revealed painful expressions.
Lan Yan frowned, and she only felt the bolts of Yin Demonic Lightning Power transmitted through the air into her body. It was as if countless small insects were biting her Qi Meridians, and it was extremely painful.
However, her cultivation was profound, and she could still withstand it, but she was secretly cursing in her heart.
In the periphery of the crowd, Han Li looked at the one hundred cultivators inside the Dharma Array, and a faint light flashed in his eyes. He also quietly released his Divine Sense.
Although it wasn't good to suspect his companions who were working hard to control the Dharma Array, it was a rare opportunity. If the people who were tracking him were inside the Dharma Array, now was the best time to investigate.
In mid-air, Lei Yuce quickly formed a hand seal with both hands, and the black and white whirlwind spun rapidly and slowly rose up.
The lightning that was sucked into the whirlwind was also carried up, and the lightning patterns on the surface of the pagoda that were swept by the whirlwind dimmed, and it no longer burst out with greyish-black lightning. It seemed that the Yin Thunder Power on the surface had also been taken away.
In a short period of time, the black and white whirlwind rose more than a hundred feet and stopped.
Although it was only a short period of time, to the one hundred people in the Dharma Array on the ground, it was incomparably long. Some of the people with low cultivation had their Yuan Li sucked out, and they fell to the ground with blood flowing out of their orifices.
However, at this moment, most of the people around were bitterly holding on, and they couldn't even take care of themselves. Naturally, they wouldn't care about the life and death of the people around them. As for the people on the periphery, they all had different expressions. Many people were secretly glad that they weren't chosen to enter the Dharma Array, but more people's gazes were fixed in the direction of the giant gray pagoda.
As more and more greyish-black lightning appeared from the Dharma Array on the top of the giant gray pagoda, it angrily struck the black and white whirlwind, as if it was completely enraged by the people's forceful breaking of the Dharma Array.
Although the black and white whirlwind was still spinning quickly, blocking all the lightning that struck down, it was obviously much slower than before.
Under the whirlwind, the stone door of the giant pagoda also appeared, and the greyish-black lightning above it disappeared without a trace. Only a faint layer of crystal light remained, still enveloping the stone door.
This layer of crystal light was very similar to the transparent Dharma Array at the entrance of the Mystic Realm, and it looked even thicker.
