For the next 10 days,
Tan Yun controlled the spirit boat, flying left and right to expand the search area while still continuing toward the southern horizon.
His heart grew heavier.
“There are less than 6 months left before the Mustard Seed Space-Time Tower opens.”
“If I don’t return soon… I might not make it in time!”
Thinking of this,
Tan Yun could only sigh.
Finally, he reluctantly controlled the spirit boat to turn around, preparing to return to the trial area.
Suddenly—
Bang!
The spirit boat shook violently while it was turning.
It was as if it had collided with something as hard as steel.
A dull impact echoed loudly.
Tan Yun looked toward the direction of the sound.
But all around him,
there was only the vast sea of clouds.
Suddenly,
it seemed as if he realized something.
His whole body trembled with excitement.
“An illusion formation!”
Hope shone in Tan Yun’s eyes.
He immediately controlled the spirit boat to fly higher, then drove it straight toward the empty space ahead.
Bang!
Another collision sounded.
This time it caused the surrounding air to tremble!
Tan Yun’s face was filled with excitement.
He controlled the spirit boat to soar into the sky,
then rammed it into the empty space again and again.
Each time it collided,
a thunderous roar shook the heavens and earth.
This continued
even after Tan Yun had already flown up hundreds of thousands of zhang.
Suddenly,
Tan Yun burst into loud laughter.
“Ha ha ha! I found it!”
“There is a massive palace hidden inside this illusion formation!”
“No wonder I couldn’t find it before… it was actually concealed by a formation set up by the powerhouses of the sect!”
After that, Tan Yun gradually calmed himself.
Then he began preparing to break the illusion formation.
He jumped out of the cultivation room
and stepped onto the bow of the spirit boat.
Strong winds blew past him, causing his hair to flutter wildly.
But his gaze remained firmly fixed in all directions.
Tan Yun began examining the surrounding terrain,
looking slowly—
very slowly—
toward the mountain peaks that pierced through the sea of clouds.
After an unknown amount of time,
a faint smile appeared on Tan Yun’s face.
His gaze stopped on 8 mountain peaks within the vast mountain range.
If one followed Tan Yun’s line of sight,
it could be seen that
the 8 peaks formed the shape of a crescent moon.
It was a pattern that would be almost impossible to notice without careful observation.
And in the center of the crescent shape formed by those 8 peaks,
there were 36 additional peaks
scattered within it.
Tan Yun stood with his hands behind his back,
the corners of his mouth lifting into a confident smile.
“So it turns out to be a Star-Moon Illusion Formation created by a Grand Formation Master.”
“Using 36 secondary peaks as the stars.”
“And 8 main peaks as the crescent moon.”
“The Huangfu Sacred Sect truly is a place filled with talented individuals. They can even use the mountains and rivers of heaven and earth to set up a formation.”
It was generally known that
the ranks of formation experts were divided into:
Formation Disciple → Formation Master → Grand Formation Master → Great Formation Grandmaster → Sacred Formation Grandmaster
With Tan Yun’s knowledge of formations,
he could tell at a glance
that the person who created this Star-Moon Illusion Formation
had to be at least a high-level Great Formation Grandmaster.
And of course,
only a high-level Great Formation Grandmaster
would be capable of breaking this illusion formation.
Tan Yun then smiled slightly.
He controlled the spirit boat and flew down through the sea of clouds.
Soon,
the spirit boat landed on the mountain peak located at the outermost edge of the 8 peaks.
Suddenly,
Tan Yun crossed his arms above his head
and leapt down from the spirit boat toward the peak!
In an instant,
his body spun rapidly like a spinning top.
Both hands swept forward through the dust
before drilling straight into the mountain.
As Tan Yun drilled downward,
the hard mountain rock became as fragile as soil before his hands.
He continued digging deeper
until he had penetrated thousands of feet into the mountain.
Suddenly,
his body dropped into a huge cavity with a diameter of over 100 zhang.
Tan Yun flipped in midair
before landing inside the cavern amid a cloud of dust.
Then he walked straight toward the formation plate in the center of the cave.
The formation plate had a diameter of 3 zhang.
The entire plate was silver
and was engraved with hundreds of thousands of formation patterns, each as thin as a strand of hair.
Those patterns intertwined with one another,
covering the entire formation plate.
And they were slowly moving.
If one observed carefully,
they would see that those patterns were circulating around the formation eye at the center.
Tan Yun knew well that
this formation plate was the core of the Star-Moon Illusion Formation.
And the formation eye was the point used to control and activate the power of the formation core.
But at that moment,
Tan Yun seemed to notice something.
He lowered his head and looked toward the formation eye.
A strange glint flashed in his eyes.
Then he murmured thoughtfully.
“The person who set up this formation… is truly cunning.”
“They even placed a fake offensive formation plate here.”
“The moment I insert a spirit stone into the formation eye to activate it, this formation plate will release an enormous explosive force, and I would be burned to ashes in an instant!”
“Hmph… if it were an ordinary Great Formation Grandmaster, they would probably die here from bad luck!”
After saying this,
Tan Yun lowered his head
and drilled downward again like a high-speed diamond drill.
He dug about 300 feet deeper
before emerging into another cavern.
In the center of that cavern
stood another formation plate.
Tan Yun observed it carefully,
watching the movement of the hundreds of thousands of formation patterns.
After observing for a while,
he immediately became certain
that this one was the real thing!
At the same time,
Tan Yun couldn’t help but think
that the person who set up this formation
was definitely not a kind individual.
Most likely,
it was an extremely cunning and ruthless old man!
Even though this formation was the real one,
it was still full of danger.
Normally,
to set up a massive illusion formation like the Star-Moon Formation,
it would be necessary to place formation plates on the 8 main peaks
and establish formation bases on the 36 secondary peaks.
Then,
using the main formation plate as the center,
it would control all the formation plates and bases.
And most importantly—
It was necessary to use a top-grade spirit stone to activate the formation eye in order to trigger the mechanism that would destroy the formation.
However,
the Star-Moon Illusion Formation in front of him
was actually a formation layered within another formation.
If a top-grade spirit stone were inserted into the formation eye,
the Star-Moon Illusion Formation
would transform into
the Star-Moon Tremor Killing Formation!
When that happened,
the 36 formation bases
located on the 36 secondary peaks
would release a heaven-shaking power.
All of their attacks would converge together
to destroy the mountain Tan Yun was currently standing in
and make his body
vanish in an instant!
The only way to prevent the Star-Moon Illusion Formation
from transforming into the Star-Moon Tremor Killing Formation
was a single method—
to use a low-grade spirit stone
to activate the formation eye instead!
This
was precisely why Tan Yun felt
that the person who set up this formation was extremely cunning and ruthless!
Who would have expected
that such a massive formation
could actually be activated with just 1 low-grade spirit stone?
The person who set up the formation
first used a fake formation plate to lure anyone attempting to break the formation.
Then,
they also used an extremely sinister method—
creating a formation within a formation.
It could be said that
their methods were cruel and vicious to the extreme!
Tan Yun chuckled softly.
“Heh… the person who set up this formation is quite interesting. Their calculations were truly meticulous.”
Then,
a flash of light came from his Qiankun Ring.
A low-grade spirit stone
shot directly toward the formation eye with perfect accuracy.
In that instant,
the sky above the mountain where he stood,
which covered an area of more than tens of thousands of li,
suddenly rippled like the surface of water.
Space itself distorted,
as if time and space were bending.
Suddenly—
Boom!
Tan Yun burst out from the mountain peak
like a cannonball.
He raised his head and looked toward the sky.
The sight before him
caused his pupils to contract violently.
Suddenly,
as if he remembered something,
an overwhelming sorrow
flooded into his heart!
After the ripples in the vast sky gradually calmed down,
everything returned to silence.
Above the endless sea of clouds,
a magnificent palace
appeared,
radiating a sacred aura.
The entire palace
was golden in color.
Tan Yun looked up.
Although he could not see the topmost peak of the palace
nor even its complete form,
he knew very well
that the palace was 900,000 feet tall
and covered an area of tens of thousands of li.
Tan Yun gazed upward
at the palace that had once been so familiar to him.
The tip of his nose suddenly tingled.
Tears flowed down his sorrowful face.
His voice trembled.
“Xiao Jin…”
“I heard in your dream that the Ancient God War took place in the Fallen Deity Valley.”
“Although I had already guessed that it was you and Xiao Mo who led the Golden Dragon Clan and the Demonic Dragon Clan down to the mortal world…”
“But do you know…”
“I truly hoped… that my guess was wrong…”
The Xiao Jin Tan Yun spoke of
was
the ruler of the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon Clan—
the Twelve-Clawed Golden Divine Dragon!
And the palace now floating above the sea of clouds
was
the Heavenly Palace,
which had once been the residence of
the Golden Divine Dragon.
