Chapter 101 - Challenging the Ten Formations Pagoda
“Senior, I want to challenge the Ten Formations Pagoda. Is there anything to take note of?” Su Zimo came to the elder and asked respectfully.
Although Su Zimo had stayed at Array Peak for three months, this was his first time coming to the Ten Formations Pagoda.
The elder paused for a while on Su Zimo’s face. He sized him up and asked, “You look very unfamiliar. You’re not a disciple of my Array Peak, are you?”
“I’m from Weapon Peak,” Su Zimo nodded.
“Oh.”
The elder replied casually. He looked at the sect badge on Su Zimo’s waist and passed him a wooden badge, saying in a deep voice, “Take this badge. If you can’t hold it or encounter danger inside, break this badge immediately. You will be transported out safely.”
“There are dangers to be encountered within the Ten Formations Pagoda?” Su Zimo was slightly stunned.
Even though it sounded simple, a formation eye was difficult to locate within the formation.
Take the illusion formation before Su Zimo for example. The eye could be a simple blade of grass, a cloud floating above, a stone on the mountain or even a fish swimming within the river…
A formation contained a world within itself.
If it was someone who knew nothing about formations, they might not be able to locate and destroy the formation eye within its parallel world even if they spent their entire life and effort.
However, Array Formation Masters could locate the formation eye based on their understanding of formations and guts alongside logical analysis.
One thing was certain – formation eyes were definitely far from ordinary.
Even if they may look to be normal, careful analysis would uncover their unusualness.
Brilliant Array Formation Masters would make sure to conceal their formation eyes so carefully that it would be difficult to detect.
…
Right as Su Zimo entered Level 2 of Ten Formations Pagoda, a group of disciples from Array Peak were headed towards it.
The leader amongst them wore black robes, looking cold and cool. His eyes were indifferent with his hands behind his back. Even though he was only at Level 9 Qi Condensation, he had an air of superiority.
This was Zhong Wen. A publicly recognized talent amongst the trial disciples and a genius of the sect, he was the top of Array Peak and was already an Elementary Array Formation Master. He was currently stuck at Level 7 of the Ten Formations Pagoda.
Today, he came to challenge the Ten Formations Pagoda again to see if he could clear Level 7.
Even if he couldn’t, he wanted to break the record of his previous clear time of Level 6.
Knowing that Zhong Wen was here to challenge the pagoda today, many disciples from Array Peak came to watch and surrounded him.
“Senior Brother Zhong, I wish you success this time! Be the first person in the history of our sect to clear Level 7!
“Senior Brother Zhong is a Level 9 Qi Refinement Warrior right now and he still has many chances before entering Foundation Establishment. Who knows, he might even be able to clear Level 8 in the future.”
Many disciples of Array Peak complimented him.
Zhong Wen was only in his twenties. Even though he seemed mature, he definitely felt gleeful upon hearing those words.
No matter what, it was a proud accomplishment for anyone to be the top of any one of the five peaks.
His gaze lingered on the stele at the right of the Ten Formations Pagoda, pride flashing through his eyes.
