"Yes, I can't break it at all."
Huan Mao brought Chu Lingwei to a tree and said to them, "Look at this tree, its leaves are different from other trees."
Chu Lingwei and Long Ziqian carefully observed the leaves of the tree and found that the texture of the leaves of this tree seemed to be the opposite of other trees.
If they didn't look closely, they would never have noticed.
"Maomao, can you tell me about this illusion formation?" Chu Lingwei stepped forward, gently stroking the leaves of the big tree. As her hand touched a leaf, a scene of her parents in danger suddenly appeared in her mind.
"Ah."
Chu Lingwei was about to look clearly when she realized she had been led away by Huan Mao.
"Weiwei, you can't touch it. If you touch it, you will be drawn into the illusion formation and will not be able to break out of it." Huan Mao was very anxious, only it could truly appreciate the power of the illusion formation.
Some powerful illusion formations could trap even Great Emperors, and they would never be able to break out of them in their entire lives.
"I think I just saw my parents, they were in danger." Chu Lingwei murmured to herself. The scene just now was very clear, without any flaws.
"Weiwei, this is an illusion formation. It will conjure what you are most anxious about in your heart. Don't be misled by the formation." Huan Mao became even more anxious upon hearing this. He was trying to find a way to break this illusion formation.
"Yes, fellow Daoist Chu, this is an illusion formation. The scenes inside cannot be trusted." Long Ziqian knew that Chu Lingwei was anxious to find her parents, but she had to be cautious now.
Chu Lingwei nodded. She just wanted to know if the things inside this illusion formation were true or false.
"Maomao, tell me, how is this illusion formation different from previous formations?"
To know if the scene she just saw was true or false, she had to break this formation.
"It's the runes on it. I can't decipher them at all..." Huan Mao lowered his head. Many of the runes on this illusion formation were ones he had never seen before.
"What kind of runes?" Chu Lingwei's brows furrowed. Runes that even Maomao hadn't seen before? Suddenly, an idea struck her, "Could it be gods?"
Huan Mao's eyes widened. He hadn't considered this possibility. His expression changed, "Okay, I'll check now."
"Gods?"
Long Ziqian's body stiffened upon hearing this word. "Fellow Daoist Chu, there have been no ascenders on the Xuantian Continent for tens of thousands of years, let alone gods."
"I know, there should have been gods tens of thousands of years ago." Chu Lingwei shook her head. Everything on the Xuantian Continent was too suspicious. Perhaps, somewhere on the Xuantian Continent, a god was hidden.
"Yes, there were gods tens of thousands of years ago." Long Ziqian nodded. "All ascendant cultivators were called gods. However, no cultivator who ascended to become a god could return to the Xuantian Continent, because it would suppress their cultivation, and no one would want their cultivation to decrease."
"So, you think, if there are truly gods on the Xuantian Continent, do we have a way to fight them?"
Chu Lingwei's eyes sharpened. Senior Brother Leng Xingzhi had said that the Sacred Tree was an item from the Divine Realm, yet some people believed that their Phoenix clan's Sacred Tree could help them break through to the Great Emperor realm and ascend to the Divine Realm.
The occasional appearance of formations and secret realms on the Xuantian Continent that did not belong here made Chu Lingwei suspicious.
"Fellow Daoist Chu..." Long Ziqian was once again amazed by Chu Lingwei's perception. She actually wanted to fight gods.
"Weiwei, I still can't open it."
At this moment, Huan Mao's small body fell to the ground. His spiritual power was depleted, and he was very weak. "Weiwei, I'm sorry, I can't break it."
"It's okay, we'll find another way."
Chu Lingwei put Huan Mao into her spatial ring, allowing him to recover his cultivation.
"Weiwei, what do we do now?" Even Huan Mao couldn't break this illusion formation, so they certainly couldn't.
"I'll try."
Chu Lingwei summoned her bronze ancient sword, her eyes turned cold, and she flew into mid-air. "You all step back."
Seeing Chu Lingwei using a divine artifact, Long Ziqian immediately took Feng Ming back.
Chu Lingwei channeled her spiritual power into the bronze ancient sword. The bronze ancient sword instantly shone with divine light, and its red glow illuminated the entire forest, making Chu Lingwei appear as if she were standing in a sea of blood.
"Break."
The divine sword swung towards the illusion formation, shaking the entire forest violently.
Chu Lingwei used nine-tenths of her strength. Even Yu Qinghong and the others in her spatial dimension felt the earth tremble.
"Is Weiwei in danger?" Yu Qinghong stood up, his face filled with worry.
"It seems so." Li Chen looked up at the sky. Even if Chu Lingwei was in danger, they had no way to go out and help.
"Alas, I hope she can get through this." Yu Qinghong moved his fingers, his eyes full of worry. He couldn't see Weiwei's path ahead.
Li Chen saw Yu Qinghong divining Weiwei's future and looked at the vast space. "Weiwei will surely be fine."
The spiritual power of the bronze ancient sword struck the illusion formation, and Chu Lingwei successfully saw a crack appear in the formation.
This was hope. As Chu Lingwei was about to strike again, a pair of large hands grasped her wrist. "Weiwei, no."
"Senior Brother."
Chu Lingwei looked up and saw Leng Xingzhi's pale face stopping her.
"Weiwei, this illusion formation cannot be broken." Leng Xingzhi brought Chu Lingwei down to the ground steadily. The divine light of the bronze ancient sword in Chu Lingwei's hand receded, and it turned back into an ordinary sword, which Chu Lingwei put away into her space.
"Why?" Chu Lingwei looked at the illusion formation. "Senior Brother, are my parents inside?"
"Pfft!"
Before Chu Lingwei could get an answer from Leng Xingzhi, he let out a mouthful of blood.
"Senior Brother." Chu Lingwei was shocked and held Leng Xingzhi in her arms. She took out a spiritual condensation bead and fed it into his mouth, but it only made Leng Xingzhi's complexion paler. "Senior Brother, what's wrong with you?"
"Weiwei, I'm fine." Leng Xingzhi reached out and grabbed Chu Lingwei's hand, giving her a weak smile. "I'm fine. It's useless against me."
"Senior Brother, what exactly is wrong?" Chu Lingwei was very confused. He was fine when he sent her to Lingzhou City.
"A shackle in my body is about to break." Leng Xingzhi closed his eyes and suppressed the surging divine power within him. When he opened his eyes again, his complexion was ruddy, and the weakness from before seemed to have never happened.
Chu Lingwei knew that her Senior Brother was in a dangerous situation at this moment.
"Senior Brother, what do we do now?" Senior Brother needs spiritual power, a lot of spiritual power.
"It's nothing, I..."
"Senior Brother, I'll take you somewhere." Chu Lingwei interrupted Leng Xingzhi, quickly instructed Long Ziqian to take Feng Ming away, and then took Leng Xingzhi into her space.
