Chapter 773: Go Out or Come In?
Luo Ying nodded, "It should be. When I reached stage nine of chi gathering, I remembered a lot of things. This is a Seven Star Formation. Martial Brother told me about it. He probably went to the small world from here. And Luo Fei also said they came in from here last time."
"Then how do we go in?" Ning Qingxue looked desperately at Luo Ying. She wasn’t able to keep the longing for Ye Mo in her heart like Luo Ying, she wanted to see Ye Mo all the time.
Luo Ying took out seven spirit stones and said, "This formation needs seven spirit stones, but the spirit stones we’ve found these years are too low in quality. I’ll put them in the spots nonetheless, and then we can stand in this position and insert our chi. Then there might be a possibility for us to open it. But afterwards, this formation will be completely destroyed."
"Why is that?" Tang Beiwei looked strangely at Luo Ying.
Luo Ying pointed at the bones on the side and the blood on the platform, "Because someone used a blood sacrifice on this formation a few years ago, so if we now also forcibly open it, this formation will completely close down unless someone with great power lays the formation again."
Ning Qingxue suddenly thought of something. She bit her lips and said, "When I went out this time, I already told my parents it might happen, so it’s fine even if I can’t come back, but, but-"
Tang Beiwei held Ning Qingxue’s hand, "Sister Qingxue, are you worried that brother isn’t inside and that if we can’t come out, we won’t see brother again?"
Ning Qingxue nodded.
"Hm, why is Luo Fei here?" Only Luo Ying had the habit of keeping her spirit sense out, so she was the only one to notice. Although Tang Beiwei and Ning Qingxue were both at stage eight of chi gathering, they didn’t keep their spirit sense out all the time.
Tang Beiwei and Ning Qingxue also noticed the person.
Tang Beiwei greeted, "Sister Luo Fei, why did you come too?"
Luo Fei’s face showed surprise and joy and immediately rushed over, "You three are here indeed, I-"
The three guessed what was going on. Tang Beiwei asked, "Sister Fei, are Brother Xu and Sister Yuehua okay?"
Luo Fei nodded but didn’t reply.
Luo Ying said, "After I put the spirit stones in place, we’ll send chi into the Tian Kou position together. Don’t rush it. We can try slowly first."
...
At this moment, Ye Mo had dark circles under his eyes. His eyes were bloodshot, and his hair was so messy it looked like grass.
He didn’t know how long he had been there, and he just relied on the Pi Gu pill to fill up his stomach. This method was very tiring, but he didn’t want to give up.
He needed to keep watch of the formation constantly, so it consumed his spirit sense and cultivation essence greatly. Every time he used up his spirit sense, he would use his cultivation essence to check and further refine his spirit sense.
After time, his spirit sense became very condensed. It went from 7 km to 20 km. His cultivation essence also became very condensed. Although he wasn’t stage 9 yet, he wasn’t far away from it. This was due to him not cultivating. If he simply cultivated his essence every time he used up his spirit sense and cultivation essence, perhaps he would be at the tertiary stage of stage nine by now.
This was a very powerful improvement. Although his Three Birth Chant digested spirit chi very fast, he also needed more spirit chi than normal to break through. If other people needed 10 top grade spirit stones to break through, he would need 100 or more.
This time too, Ye Mo kept watch with his spirit sense while eating a food pill.
But as soon as he did, he noticed the loosening of the formation as it was getting bigger and bigger.
This was impossible, how could it be loosening at this time? Yet the impossible was happening in front of him.
What was going on? Ye Mo didn’t know what could have happened, but he grasped the opportunity and immediately inserted his chi. He wanted to make the formation loosen even more.
Soon, he realized that the only reason why this formation could be loosening was because people from the outside were trying to open the formation.
Who would it be? Only the hidden sects members knew about this formation.
Ye Mo was bewildered, but he knew that there would only be one chance like this, and he wasn’t going to give it up.
...
At the same time, Luo Ying, Tang Beiwei, Ning Qingxue, and Luo Fei were sweating like crazy as they kept inserting their chi. They couldn’t control their chi anymore as it all got drawn in relentlessly.
Luo Ying’s face changed. She knew it was over. She didn’t expect that their combined chi wouldn’t be enough to open the formation.
If she were by herself, she would be able to take the backlash and leave, but there were four people present. If she did that, the other three would immediately be killed by the formation.
Tang Beiwei’s face went pale as she struggled to speak, "Sister Luo Ying, are we going to die? If this keeps sucking our chi like this, we could lose all our power."
Luo Fei spewed out blood. She was trembling and was very close to completely exhausting her chi.
Ning Qingxue glanced at Luo Ying. Her eyes were dim. She wasn’t afraid of death, but she really didn’t want to die without seeing her husband.
"Hmm, Sister Luo Ying, I feel that I can control my own chi again!" Tang Beiwei rejoiced.
Luo Ying and the others also noticed this. Luo Ying breathed easy and said, "Although I don’t know what’s going on, this means that the formation is about to open. Luo Fei, are you okay?"
Luo Fei shook her pale face, "I’m fine, but if it kept being like before, I would be a goner."
Luo Ying thought for a moment before saying, "Perhaps someone is helping on the other side, but this is good for us. Don’t lose focus, add more power."
The four inserted more chi and soon, a rainbow formed next to the rock with a humming sound.
"The formation is about to open! Grab each other’s hands, so we don’t land all over the place," Luo Ying advised.
A huge suction power appeared on the rock, and it was like a gate as it swooped the four inside.
...
At this moment, Ye Mo saw the formation open. He shot his chi inside as he dashed into the formation door.
A strong suction force swept him along, and Ye Mo breathed easy. He finally got out!
...
"Sister Luo Ying, what is this place? These nine peaks are so high." Tang Beiwei crawled up from the ground and looked at her surrounding.
Luo Ying shook her head but then said, "There’s air restrictions here, is this the cultivation realm? Did Martial Brother not come here?"
Luo Fei was dazed for a moment as she looked around, "This is the small world, the Magical Continent. We’re standing at Magical Continent Mountain. This is the same place we left from."
"I seem to be feeling Ye Mo’s chi," Ning Qingxue murmured.
