Su Yuan observed from outside the formation for a while, then moved to another weak point.
He imitated the two others’ methods and inscribed formation spirit scripts onto the array.
The formation seemed to activate a verification process, automatically opening a narrow passage.
Su Yuan stepped through, his body flickering repeatedly, and soon reached the end of the passage.
Looking back, the formation had already sealed itself again.
Su Yuan inscribed the same spirit script again, but the formation no longer responded as usual!
Clearly, the method to exit the formation was different from the method to enter.
Su Yuan turned his head and saw layers of overlapping buildings ahead. Most were collapsed ruins, but some remained intact or partially damaged, with the formation’s spiritual light on their surfaces still perfectly preserved.
By common sense, Su Yuan should have rushed deeper ahead of the two teams to obtain the most precious treasures inside.
But he didn’t do so.
Instead, he turned around and directly sat cross-legged at the edge of the Nine Suns Spirit Devouring Array, observing the great formation.
With his contemplation and the accumulation of cultivation time, the effects of his practice continued to strengthen.
The formation before him gradually revealed more profound mysteries.
Why could Su Yuan recognize the true nature of this great formation? Because in the Dragon Clan’s Myriad Books Sea, there were books recording this Great Luo-level formation!
But previously, he only glanced over them casually and couldn’t comprehend the operating principles of the formation, as its mysteries were too deep.
Now, with the physical formation right before him, he had the opportunity to understand the Great Luo-level formation.
The best part was that this formation had now been weakened to the Taiyi level, greatly reducing the difficulty of comprehension. Although the difficulty was lowered, the underlying principles and truths were still at the Great Luo level, making this a perfect opportunity for enlightenment!
Su Yuan compared it with the descriptions in the scriptures, contemplating all the profound subtleties.
The many changes in the formation made Su Yuan utterly fascinated.
After several months of contemplation, Su Yuan finally had some insight.
He then inscribed a spirit script in midair and inserted it into the Nine Suns Spirit Devouring Array.
Within the formation, a formation node damaged by the passage of time was, under Su Yuan’s adjustments, actually smoothed out!
The Nine Suns Spirit Devouring Array thus restored a bit of its power, and its operation immediately became smoother!
Su Yuan was extremely excited.
He felt that during the process of perfecting the formation, his understanding of the laws was also advancing rapidly. The Nine Suns Spirit Devouring Array contained abundant profound principles, with every slight change embodying the truth of the world. Its many variations made it truly a divine artifact for enlightenment. Su Yuan thought those who went treasure hunting were simply picking up watermelons and throwing away pumpkins.
This formation itself was a treasure!
After muttering to himself twice, Su Yuan immediately continued observing the changes in the next formation node.
This time, it only took two months for him to successfully deconstruct another damaged node and inscribe spirit scripts for adjustment again.
The formation itself wasn’t lacking materials. It was like the hardware was slightly damaged, and the software had some errors and omissions. Fix the hardware a bit, then debug the software, and the formation could be restored.
The hardware was actually not too bad. Great Luo-level formations had self-repairing abilities. Once the software was debugged properly, the formation could automatically fix the damaged hardware.
Therefore, as long as Su Yuan inscribed spirit scripts to correct the disorder and errors of the formation nodes, the formation’s power could steadily increase.
During the repair process, Su Yuan also incorporated his soul imprint into the formation, effectively refining this Great Luo-level formation!
Since no one was currently managing this formation, adding his own bit into the damaged nodes was completely safe without fear of discovery. The formation itself would automatically merge intact nodes and assist Su Yuan in refining the formation.
Su Yuan didn’t mind;this was incidental. His main goal was to comprehend the formation itself. If he could truly understand it, even if only partially, it would be enough to greatly boost his formation realm!
As time passed, Su Yuan’s formation skill soared, and his understanding of the Nine Suns Spirit Devouring Array accelerated.
One spirit script after another was inscribed and merged into the formation.
Formation nodes were repaired one by one, and the original flaws of the Nine Suns Spirit Devouring Array gradually disappeared.
Moreover, the formation began to connect with some internal buildings and started to repair the damaged formation arrays and broken buildings in reverse.
At this moment, Feipeng’s team had already reached the middle section.
Everyone’s faces showed smiles, despite losing one Golden Immortal in an accident earlier.
They had each obtained quite a few treasures.
Changqing also had a long sword with a crack at the edge in his hand. Although it had a crack, the sword’s grade still reached the mid-level postnatal spirit treasure tier. If it could be repaired and nurtured, it would definitely be a formidable weapon!
The gains were pretty good!
“Not bad, not bad, these are good things!” Changqing couldn’t help but take another look before putting it away.
Feipeng smiled and said, “Told you, this place is a treasure trove. There’s plenty of good stuff!”
Changqing smiled gently in return. “Captain Feipeng, I’m grateful this time. If you need anything in the future, just say the word. As long as it doesn’t violate the Dao, I’ll do my best to help!”
“Hahaha, then I accept your promise!” Feipeng also smiled. He held a broken mid-level postnatal spirit treasure, so the loot was not bad either.
As the team moved forward, they came before a relatively intact building.
Feipeng didn’t hesitate and said, “Let’s continue breaking the formation! This place looks relatively complete, so the treasures inside should be good!”
“Alright!”
The group immediately began breaking the formation.
They all summoned their magic treasures to attack the formation.
After these past months, they were already very experienced.
However, soon their expressions turned puzzled.
The spiritual light on the building’s surface appeared extremely stable.
Normally, the formation should have shown signs of damage by now, but the building’s spiritual light remained intact.
Captain Feipeng was also puzzled.
He had actually explored this secret place multiple times before, and none of the previous situations had exceeded his expectations.
However, the condition of this building made him feel a strange sense of wrongness.
The group continued their attacks for several days, but the spiritual light on the building’s surface still showed no signs of damage, as if their efforts were completely futile.
Everyone’s expressions showed a strange unease.
Zhuang Seping spoke up, “This building should be considered quite important;otherwise, it wouldn’t be so difficult to break. We can break formations in other buildings first and return later.”
He paused and said, “Actually, the sensing method I left behind vaguely detected another group entering here!”
“What?” Changqing’s expression changed. “Are you sure?”
Feipeng asked in surprise, “Did you sense it precisely?”
“Not exactly. There’s isolation between the areas, and many movements can’t be sensed. But the method I left behind detected a trace of demonic energy!” Zhuang Seping said solemnly, “I’m extremely sensitive to demonic energy. Over the years, I have killed many demonic cultivators, and my sensing of demonic energy doesn’t fail. This place was obviously built by immortal cultivators. Although the appearance of demonic energy is possible, it’s more likely that demonic cultivators have also intruded!”
Feipeng’s expression changed. “Zhuang Seping makes a good point. On the battlefield, he has killed many demonic cultivators, including a half-step Taiyi Golden Immortal demonic cultivator. He’s a demonic cultivator expert! We should hurry and break the next formation!”
Changqing’s face also grew serious. “If that’s the case, let’s hurry up!”
So they immediately changed direction and headed toward the next treasure site.
This time, they found another nearly intact building.
They began attacking the formation again.
However, before they had been attacking for long, a sudden scorching beam shot out from the building!
Like lightning fast, it instantly struck a Golden Immortal.
That Golden Immortal didn’t even have time to scream before being reduced to nothingness by the scorching ray!
He died without a trace!
Everyone was so scared they stopped immediately, especially the Golden Immortals, who looked pale as they stared at the building.
“How is there still such power!” Feipeng exclaimed suspiciously.
“Strange! Very strange!” Immortal King Changqing frowned.
At this moment, everyone felt something was wrong.
Changqing cleared his throat. “How about we retreat for now? I have a bad feeling!”
Feipeng himself also felt uneasy. This time he even brought his true body, so he didn’t act rashly and nodded. “Alright, let’s retreat temporarily!”
They immediately returned along the original route.
However, when passing a building ruin, a Golden Immortal suddenly exclaimed, “That place, didn’t we just explore it? How did the building recover? Even the defensive spiritual light has reappeared!”
Everyone was stunned and looked over.
Sure enough, the previously damaged building had somehow recovered most of its structure, and even the formation on the surface that had been broken was restored!
This scene made Feipeng’s pupils shrink!
“This is impossible!” Feipeng exclaimed.
The group exchanged glances, all realizing the seriousness of the situation.
They quickened their pace back.
Although they were Golden Immortals and exploration was important, life was more precious. Blind exploration was not sustainable.
When they returned to the original spot, they all looked at Captain Feipeng.
Feipeng’s expression was solemn as he inscribed spirit scripts, casting them onto the formation’s light screen.
Changqing and Zhuang Seping secretly memorized Feipeng’s actions.
Feipeng, however, paid no attention to their spying. His original plan did not intend to let the two leave so smoothly, but now that things had changed, he had no time to care about others.
As the spirit scripts were cast one after another, Feipeng’s expression grew increasingly grave.
Changqing and Zhuang Seping also began to feel something was wrong.
“Captain Feipeng...” Changqing said hoarsely.
Feipeng continuously inscribed tens of thousands of spirit scripts.
Eventually, staring at the unchanged formation, his expression became bewildered.
