Chapter 1365 - 1341: The Method to Break the Formation! (Fifth Update)

Meanwhile, on the other side, Long Yue stepped onto a mountain, where the scenery was picturesque, but she was extremely tense.

She took another step forward, completely entering this mountain gate. At this moment, the air around her seemed to begin fluctuating, like a dream. In the next instant, suddenly, there emerged rows of wooden houses on the previously uninhabited mountain ahead.

There were also powerful cultivators with an impressive aura rushing towards her.

"What arrogant wretch dares to trespass into my Primordial Sect?"

Long Yue was startled and stepped back, but several people were already beside her, their eyes glinting with cold.

"Kill her!"

In the next moment, a fierce strand of True Qi shot straight towards Long Yue.

...

Sima Nan was wandering around the city, but at this moment, his gaze noticed a platform in a square ahead, where there was a stone tablet with a sword inserted into it.

He walked over, but as soon as he got close to the stone tablet, he felt as if he was pulled into a bizarre space.

Opening his eyes, he found himself in a valley filled with broken knives and swords stuck in the ground, stretching from his feet to the distance, all broken swords.

Is this a sword tomb?

Sima Nan was shocked inside, becoming fully alert and cautious. The wind blowing through the valley carried a chill and a killing aura!

He took a step forward, clutching his sword and cautiously watching the surroundings. Suddenly, the broken sword stuck in the ground behind him seemed to be pulled out by someone, aiming straight at Sima Nan!

A sharp killing intent howled towards him, startling Sima Nan, who stomped down and sidestepped, fiercely slashing his sword towards the incoming killing intent.

Clang!

A metallic sound rang out as Sima Nan knocked the broken sword flying.

"Who's behind me?"

Sima Nan turned to look and found no one, frowning as he suddenly recalled something. He looked at the broken sword and saw it slowly floating into the air.

Sima Nan's eyes widened, and he suddenly had a very bad feeling because at this moment, the surrounding broken swords near the floating sword all began to hum and resonate!

Is my trial dealing with a sword?

Sima Nan looked at the sword in front, and suddenly, with a clang, a broken sword rose from the ground, flying into the air, followed by several clangs as more broken swords flew up, converging into a massive sword in the air!

Witnessing this, even the gentile Sima Nan's expression changed dramatically, and he couldn't help but swear, "Shit!"

After cursing, Sima Nan didn't hesitate and turned to run, while the broken swords on the ground behind him all buzzed and merged into the air, forming the gigantic sword, even outlining the hilt!

Then, this massive sword shot directly towards Sima Nan!

...

Anish's face was gloomy as he stepped into a room. The surrounding space instantly changed, and the next moment he found himself in a forest.

Everywhere he looked, there were white bones and skeletons, enveloped in faint poisonous gas, with many mythical beasts hiding within.

In the next moment, deafening squeak sounds came from not far in the forest. Anish looked up, and his face changed, spotting a huge spider charging in this direction!

...

Each person faced different trials, bizarre and varied, ranging from arrays to mythical beasts, sword spirits, and even other humans, with each test fraught with danger.

Ren Feng was also struggling at this moment. He was temporarily unable to figure out how to break the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches Array. After much effort, he swallowed two bottles of the Purple Jade Cyan Ginseng Elixir consecutively and battled for two hours, only managing to kill all the mice from the gate.

Just as he finished killing, the array beneath his feet began rotating again, with the earthly branches numbers aimed at the exit constantly changing, while the surrounding doors continued to revolve.

Ren Feng's heart was in his throat once again. He looked at the doors and at the numbers of earthly branches rotating on the ground, suddenly having a realization in his mind.

"The ten heavenly stems and twelve earthly branches can be paired in various ways. Is it necessary to find one pair to break this array?"

"If I can't break this array, I might exhaust myself to death. If I'm not mistaken, next won't be mice anymore, according to the twelve zodiac correspondence, it should be Rat, Ox, Tiger. If the door opens, next should be Ox, which I might handle still, but if it reaches the Dragon, with a dragon appearing, I'll certainly face death."

Ren Feng's expression was solemn as he rapidly assessed the surroundings, seeking a way to break the array.

As the array continued to rotate beneath his feet, flames suddenly erupted around him, burning fiercely but not harming Ren Feng, only surrounding him.

Ren Feng stared at the flames, and suddenly, a flash of insight crossed his mind.

"I understand! Heavenly stems and earthly branches have the concept of mutual transformation and conflict; Jia-Yi transforms into Earth, Yi-Geng transforms into Metal, Bing-Xin transforms into Water, Ding-Ren transforms into Wood, Wu-Gui transforms into Fire. Now, there's fire here, which means it's fire. Within the earthly branches, Xu-Mao harmonizes with fire, considering comprehensively, the exit should have the following configurations!"

Ren Feng's eyes flashed with a hint of joy. His gaze was fixed on the surrounding doors and the earthly branches timetable on the ground.

"Bing-Yin, Ding-Mao, Jia-Xu, Yi-Hai, Wu-Zi, Ji-Chou, Bing-Shen, Ding-You, Yi-Si, Bing-Wu, Wu-Wu, Ji-Wei — twelve configurations correspond. As long as the door representing the heavenly stems and the time representing the earthly branches can pair perfectly, that's the exit!"

Ren Feng mentally recited this once again, his gaze burning as he watched the array beneath his feet. With the rotation of the array, the pointer direction suddenly stopped.

"The earthly branch is Ding, so there should be two corresponding heavenly stems!"

Ren Feng's eyes were tightly focused on the halted door, with a hint of tension in his heart, hoping his judgment was correct; otherwise, it would be playing with life if wrong.

Most importantly, there's no time to waste within this array; validation is needed quickly, even though what he's using comes from old teachings, uncertain of their accuracy.

The rotating door also gradually stopped, with the pointer direction pointing at one of the doors.
