Chapter 1097: Chapter 1097: Breaking the Formation with One Sword

Xiao Yi looked ahead; in front was still a sea of white clouds.

However, in his perception, there was clearly an aura of formation ahead.

This aura was identical to the formation aura on the formation map.

He had scrutinized that formation for over two days, and naturally remembered the aura on that formation, recognizing it instantly.

”Disperse,” Xiao Yi shouted lowly, waving his hand.

The surging Primordial Power dispersed a large amount of clouds ahead.

As the clouds dispersed, a formation barrier suddenly appeared in front.

”It’s indeed here,” Qing Lin’s face lit up with joy.

Xiao Yi took out the formation map, glanced at it, and nodded, ”It should be here, no mistake.”

On the formation map, the red heart point was the destination.

The location of the red heart point was within this Cloud Sea Dangerous Land.

To randomly search in this vast, boundless Cloud Sea Dangerous Land without any clues, one naturally cannot find anything.

The only way is to decipher the formation on the map.

However, Xiao Yi hadn’t expected that he only wanted to catch up to that Cloud Dragon, planning to fully achieve the Rising Dragon Technique, yet directly arrived at the destination.

”It seems those mysterious Cloud Dragons are related to this ancient formation,” Qing Lin said solemnly.

He wasn’t a fool, naturally guessing at once.

”Those Cloud Dragons, with no aura and extremely mysterious, could they be illusions created by the power of this formation?” Qing Lin asked Xiao Yi.

He wasn’t knowledgeable about formations, and Xiao Yi was an Array Master, so he naturally asked Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi shook his head, saying, ”I don’t know. There are countless formations in the world, and I don’t know them all.”

”But from what I know, this is unlikely.”

”Illusory dragons are just dead things, lacking spirit.”

Like certain attack methods, or fire, or water, or formation methods, etc., these illusory dragons, although looking like dragons, are fake, just dead things.

This was also the reason Xiao Yi didn’t gain any insights from watching the dragon attacks earlier.

But what he saw now, these Cloud Dragons clearly were full of spirit, like living objects.

They would roar, they would struggle, they would erupt.

Even granting him instant martial arts insights.

”Then what could it be?” Qing Lin pursued.

”I don’t know,” Xiao Yi shook his head, saying, ”Entering the formation may provide answers.”

”Heavenly King Mountain’s grand move to break through the formation, what exactly are they looking for? I’m also curious.”

”Me too,” Qing Lin laughed, ”You quickly break the formation.”

Xiao Yi shook his head again, ”If I could easily break the formation, I would have deciphered the formation on the map already.”

”Why else would there be no progress until now?”

”Alright,” Xiao Yi pondered a moment, saying, ”I’ll study it for a while, to see if I can decipher it.”

”If still not possible after half a day, we’ll find another approach.”

”Alright,” Qing Lin nodded.

Xiao Yi sat cross-legged, beginning to scrutinize the formation.

Qing Lin, on the other hand, guarded closely by his side.

Time gradually passed.

Half a day later, Xiao Yi opened his eyes and stood up.

”How is it?” Qing Lin asked.

”No good,” Xiao Yi shook his head, ”Such a profound formation, a hundred times stronger than the Black Poison Pond formation from Black Poison Villa.”

”So strong?” Qing Lin’s face was startled.

Xiao Yi nodded, saying, ”Moreover, my previous assumption was wrong.”

”This formation’s existence time is definitely not just ten thousand years; perhaps even tens of thousands of years.”

”To exist so long, and the formation remaining unbroken, with no leakage of its aura.”

”It proves the formation is still intact, its power not diminished at all.”

”Such a powerful formation, the Formation Setter, tens of thousands of years ago, must have been a formation Great Power.”

”Formation Great Power?” Qing Lin shook his head, ”No wonder even you have no means.”

”Does that mean we give up?”

Xiao Yi shook his head, saying, ”It’s not that there’s no means, it’s just a lack of time.”

”Though I know formations, strictly speaking, I wouldn’t count myself as a top Array Master.”

”If my formation knowledge rises another level, and I’m given enough time, I’m confident I could decipher this formation.”

”How long?” Qing Lin’s face lit up once more, asking.

”At least half a month, or perhaps longer,” Xiao Yi said solemnly.

”Then start,” Qing Lin said, ”I’ll guard here for you.”

”No,” Xiao Yi shook his head, saying, ”Half a month is too long.”

”Heavenly King Mountain has already summoned various forces for quite a while, I speculate, whether they decipher the secrets on the formation map, they will certainly head to Cloud Sea Dangerous Land soon.”

”We can’t stay here too long.”

Xiao Yi’s guess was correct; in fact, Heavenly King Mountain had already set off a day earlier.

”Gazing at Treasure Mountain but unable to enter, alas,” Qing Lin sighed.

”Not necessarily,” Xiao Yi smiled faintly, saying, ”Didn’t I say? If no solution after half a day, then seek another approach.”

”What other method?” Qing Lin asked.

”There is,” Xiao Yi nodded, walking to the formation barrier.

Taking a deep breath, his Primordial Power began mobilizing.

Seconds later, with a flash of light in his hand, a fiercely sharp sword appeared instantly.

”Such a sharp sword,” Qing Lin gasped suddenly, then subconsciously took two steps back.

It wasn’t that he was guarding against Xiao Yi.

Instead, when he saw the sword, the sword’s terrifying sharpness gave him an involuntary sense of death.

”No, this isn’t a sword, it’s a Martial Soul,” Qing Lin reacted instantly.

The next moment, he stared closely at the sword in Xiao Yi’s hand.

The sword body was entirely snow-white, emitting some blue light.

That was the sword’s brilliance.

Apart from the blue light, there was also a dense and deep purple.

That was the color belonging to the Martial Soul.

”Deep purple Martial Soul, no, even stronger,” Qing Lin’s eyes widened, and the next moment, his face changed dramatically.

”Xiao... Xiao Yi... I’ve seen your entry data, I remember your Martial Soul isn’t a Fire Control Beast?”

”Then this sword... could it be...”

”Are you the legendary Twin Martial Souls?”

Xiao Yi nodded.

In fact, Twin Martial Souls had always been his secret.

Deep purple Martial Soul was also his secret, but now, this secret didn’t matter much.

In the Eastern Domain, purple Martial Souls were regarded as legendary Martial Souls, the strongest among them.

But upon arriving at the Central Region, Xiao Yi had seen quite a few Heavenly Talents with purple Martial Souls.

Though none were deep purple, he had seen light purple, medium purple, and slightly deeper purple Martial Souls.

In the eyes of supreme monsters truly renowned in the Central Region, purple Martial Souls weren’t considered rare things.

”Perverse, no wonder you’ve always been so perverse, you’re even among the supreme monsters, one in ten thousand Twin Martial Souls,” Qing Lin glared strangely at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi smiled, ”Looks like you don’t want to go in.”

An additional reason, Xiao Yi trusted Qing Lin.

The time spent traveling with Qing Lin wasn’t much, but they had gone through quite a few life-and-death experiences together.

Xiao Yi regarded this friend and trusted him.

With that, Xiao Yi swung his sword.

The sword in his hand traced a blue gleam through the air.

With a crisp sound,^ The sturdy formation barrier was instantly slit open.

”It’s broken,” Qing Lin exclaimed with joy, ”Junior Brother Xiao Yi, let’s go in.”

Xiao Yi nodded with a smile, saying, ”Remember, it’s a secret.”

”I know, don’t worry,” Qing Lin patted his chest in assurance.
