Chapter 1758 - 1759: Zixin Grand Formation
Beside the Purple Heart Pool, Shangguan Wan'er paced back and forth anxiously.
What should I do? What should I do? The master and the others are going to take action against Li Feng, but Li Feng is still oblivious.
Shangguan Wan'er felt a sense of urgency, but there was nothing she could do.
To prevent Shangguan Wan'er from leaking information, the master had already locked her inside the Purple Heart Cave.
The cave was surrounded by barriers, making it impossible for her to escape.
At that moment, accompanied by footsteps, a gray-haired elder walked out from the pool.
Although he emerged from the pool, the elder's clothes were dry, without a trace of water on them.
"Senior Green Python, is it you?" Upon seeing the elder, Shangguan Wan'er's face lit up with joy.
Green Python smiled faintly, "Girl, why do you look so distressed?"
Shangguan Wan'er bit her lip and thought for a moment, "Senior Green Python, could you please help me save someone?"
Green Python smiled faintly, "No, I cannot."
"You!" Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wan'er's expression immediately darkened.
Green Python sat down beside Shangguan Wan'er and chuckled, "I know who it is you want me to save, but I can't assist him."
"Why? He's a good person, nothing like the murderous demon the master and others claim he is."
Green Python smiled faintly, "Of course, I know he's a good person. We've even shared a meal of rabbit together. I've helped him as much as I can. Whether he can survive or not depends on his own skills."
"What do you mean, Senior?" Shangguan Wan'er was taken aback.
"You underestimate Lin Chen. Do you really think he's a fool and doesn't know this place is fraught with peril?" Green Python calmly said.
"If he knows, then why did he still come?" Shangguan Wan'er said angrily, as if hating iron for not becoming steel.
Green Python glanced at Shangguan Wan'er and suddenly laughed, "Isn't that a question you already know the answer to?"
"What?" Shangguan Wan'er suddenly realized something.
"Could it be he came because of me?" Shangguan Wan'er covered her mouth, a tear escaping from the corner of her eye.
Green Python smiled faintly, "A hero's anger is aroused for a beauty. I must say, this Lin Chen is indeed a hero."
"That fool, knowing full well there's a trap here, yet still coming. He's simply an idiot." Although Shangguan Wan'er's heart felt warm, her concern for Lin Chen's safety was even greater.
Green Python laughed, "I actually warned him, but he didn't care. From my observation, Lin Chen is not reckless. Since he dared to come here, he definitely has his own plans, so we don't need to worry."
At that moment, Green Python suddenly looked towards the cave entrance, "Speak of the devil, and he appears; he's coming."
"What, he's coming? No, Senior Green Python, quickly make him leave. This cave is full of barriers; he will die." Shangguan Wan'er said anxiously.
Green Python smiled faintly, "I told you, you underestimate Lin Chen. He's not foolish enough to enter this great formation."
At this moment, Lin Chen was standing at the cave entrance.
He knew Shangguan Wan'er's location only because he had persistently coaxed Sister Qiu Xiang into telling him.
Sister Qiu Xiang knew Lin Chen couldn't possibly enter the Purple Heart Cave, but unable to resist Lin Chen's constant persuasion, she reluctantly informed him of Shangguan Wan'er's location.
However, she never imagined in her wildest dreams that Lin Chen would actually dare to come and enter the cave.
"Xiao Shuai, can you break this formation?" Lin Chen asked in his mind.
It's tricky, but not too difficult to break.
"Alright, tell me how to break the formation," Lin Chen said.
Soon, the method to break the formation appeared in Lin Chen's mind.
Lin Chen couldn't help but marvel at the mystical nature of the formations on Jade Maiden Peak.
The four hundred meters leading into the cave were filled with formation traps, where a single misstep would annihilate even an Immortal Emperor-level powerhouse.
But now it was different; Lin Chen had broken all the formations.
The floor was made of square tiles, divided into life and death gates.
The life gates were all mixed among the death gates, and if unable to break the formation, entering the Purple Heart Cave would be even more difficult than ascending to the heavens.
However, Lin Chen had now effortlessly broken the formation, and all the life gates were imprinted in his mind.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Lin Chen's body transformed into a shadow, already entering the Purple Heart Cave.
Inside the Purple Heart Cave, Green Python's eyes suddenly sharpened.
"This kid actually entered the cave."
Damn it!
"Senior Green Python, quickly go save Lin Chen," Shangguan Wan'er said anxiously.
Green Python sighed, "That set of formations can only be navigated by your master. I'm powerless."
"What?" Shangguan Wan'er's expression turned even more distressed.
Suddenly, Green Python's expression changed slightly, "Could it be, imprisoning you here is itself a trick?"
"Senior Green Python, do you mean the master intentionally trapped me here to lure Lin Chen in?" Shangguan Wan'er's expression also turned grim.
Green Python nodded, "Bing Ling indeed has a ruthless streak."
At this moment, in the grand hall, Ice Spirit Fairy, Celestial Mechanic Dao, and Ten Thousand Swords True were all seated on prayer mats.
In front of them was a mystical mirror.
Inside the mirror was the image of Lin Chen.
"Celestial Mechanic Daoist, your foresight indeed proves accurate, Lin Chen entered the cave," Ice Spirit Fairy sighed.
"Haha, we all lived through our youthful days, Lin Chen's nature is proud and arrogant; if he perishes in the formation, it's not our fault."
True of Ten Thousand Swords also sighed, "What a pity, he was a promising seedling."
"A genius who cannot grow is no different from a waste. This Purple Heart Grand Formation is ancient and cannot be broken; Lin Chen's death in the formation is inevitable," Celestial Mechanic Daoist said with a laugh.
"Sigh, I'm just worried that Shangguan Wan'er will hate me," Ice Spirit Fairy sighed.
"Don't worry, we're doing this for her own good; she will understand in the future," Celestial Mechanic Daoist replied softly.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
In an instant, Lin Chen had advanced more than ten meters.
"Hmm, he hasn't triggered the grand formation yet," Celestial Mechanic Daoist was briefly taken aback.
"This kid has quite the luck," True of Ten Thousand Swords was also momentarily stunned.
Even with their cultivations, entering this great formation, they couldn't have advanced as far as Lin Chen.
"No, it's not luck. Every step he takes lands on a life gate," Ice Spirit Fairy's expression turned somewhat grim.
"How is that possible?" Celestial Mechanic Daoist and True of Ten Thousand Swords were both dumbfounded.
"Fairy, did you ever tell Wan'er the breaking method for this ancient formation?" Celestial Mechanic Daoist suddenly remembered and asked.
"No, I don't even have the breaking method for this grand formation; every time I enter the cave, I just deactivate the formation," Ice Spirit Fairy smiled bitterly.
"What? So Lin Chen broke the formation on his own?" The three of them looked at each other, their faces showing signs of bewilderment.
Inside the Purple Heart Cave, Shangguan Wan'er's eyes were filled with tears.
"It's all my fault, I put Lin Chen in danger."
However, Green Python's gaze was fixed in the direction of the cave entrance, filled with overwhelming amazement.
"Is this kid truly extraordinary? He actually broke the Purple Heart Grand Formation."
"What did you say?" Shangguan Wan'er wiped her tears and asked.
Lin Chen had now advanced more than two hundred meters yet hadn't triggered the grand formation, which only meant one thing; Lin Chen had broken the formation.
