Reading Is Holy! Exposed By My Junior Sister!

Chapter 92: Endless Formation, Trembling City God!

"City God actually went there?" At the same time, on a mountain peak over a hundred miles away from Hidden Dao Mountain, a woman's figure appeared. She looked at City God, who was heading towards Hidden Dao Mountain from a hundred miles away, her eyes cold and indifferent.

This woman was none other than Shao Siming, who had taken City God away from the Six Records Snack Shop in the afternoon and calmly sat down to eat.

"Fine, let you go and explore the path." At this moment, Shao Siming, dressed in a white dress, exuded a stunning coldness. She whispered to herself, her eyes fixed on City God a hundred miles away, not missing any details.

She had initially considered exploring Hidden Dao Mountain on her own. After all, if she could uncover the secret of Chen Chang'an becoming a Confucian, it would be a great opportunity.

However, she gave up on this idea the moment she set foot in Heavenly River City. It was because she didn't know if it was an illusion or not.

From the moment she first entered Heavenly River City, Shao Siming felt a primordial aura locking onto her. Under that aura, she couldn't even muster a hint of resistance.

Because that aura was too strong, as ancient as eternity. It was as if there was an ancient and peerless existence, fluctuating in this tiny place.

Even though it didn't make a move, its true name seemed to be reflected in every corner of this world. Its presence could be felt everywhere, eternal and everlasting!

Under its protection, no demon could invade!

Therefore, Shao Siming gave up. She didn't dare to entertain any thoughts!

The only thing she wanted now was for City God to go and explore the path. If nothing happened, then the mission would be considered complete.

If something happened, she would retreat.

However, at the moment, it seemed that nothing was happening. In Shao Siming's gaze, City God, who was over a hundred miles away, didn't show any unexpected signs.

At this moment, he was even close to reaching the mountainside.

Seeing this, Shao Siming's anxious heart finally relaxed a little.

"Hmm??!"

"Wait!"

"What's going on?"

However, just as she relaxed her mind, she suddenly witnessed a terrifying scene.

City God, who had been crawling forward in the distance on Hidden Dao Mountain, suddenly disappeared!

Not only did the person disappear, but even their aura couldn't be felt at all!

"What's going on?!!"

Shao Siming's heart was filled with fear.

City God was an invincible powerhouse who could rival a Seven Realm Invincible. How could he suddenly disappear without any warning?

How was this possible!

Buzz~!

However, just as Shao Siming hadn't recovered from City God's sudden disappearance, a buzzing sound suddenly exploded in the sky.

The next moment, she looked up.

Suddenly, her whole person was dumbfounded!

Formation!

An immense formation!

Countless formations!

She saw it, she actually saw countless formations covering the small mountain peaks within a few dozen miles on Hidden Dao Mountain!

And among these formations, there were dozens of invincible formations at the Seven Realm level and four ancient immortal formations that reached the Eight Realm!

There were formations to trap immortals, exterminate demons, and imprison the Dao!

Buzz~!

In an instant, tens of thousands of terrifying formations emitted a buzzing roar. Under the combined blessing of dozens of invincible formations at the Seven Realm level and four ancient immortal formations at the Eight Realm level, they unleashed a devastating roar.

The terrifying momentum was enough to destroy the entire heavens.

Everything seemed like the end of the world!

Shao Siming is really stupid.

Such a formation, if it appeared normally, would already be unparalleled and extraordinary.

And now there are so many here.

How terrifying is this?

No!

Retreat!

We must retreat!

If we don't retreat, we will die!

Almost in the next instant, Shao Siming immediately made a decision.

She no longer cared about City God's affairs, nor did she care about Chen Chang'an's affairs.

At this moment, she only had one thought in her mind.

Escape!

The farther, the better!

Buzz~!

Whoosh~!

Crack~!

At this moment, Shao Siming even used all her strength.

Although she knew that the formations in the sky were not targeting her, she still exerted all her strength to rush outside.

Along the way, her speed was so fast that even the void was torn apart.

"Hoo~!"

After who knows how long, until she couldn't feel that aura anymore, she finally dared to stop.

Terrifying, too terrifying.

The feeling of facing death!

At the same time, on the Hidden Dao Mountain.

"Huh? What's going on? Wasn't I just on the mountainside? How did I end up here?"

City God, who was secretly moving towards the mountaintop, was suddenly stunned.

Because he found that the scene around him suddenly changed.

He was originally on the mountainside, but now he appeared in a place full of towering trees.

Here, the environment was beautiful, with immortal springs and waterfalls flowing through, resembling a fairyland.

At the bottom of one of the immortal springs, there were visible piles of stones emitting a chaotic aura.

These stones were none other than square-shaped Dao Source Stones, neatly arranged!

Judging from the scale of this immortal spring, there were conservatively estimated to be tens of thousands of Dao Source Stones inside!

Tens of thousands, this was almost worth his own value!

However, faced with so many Dao Source Stones, City God remained unmoved.

He coldly snorted and said:

"Hmph! A mere illusion formation, and you want to deceive me?"

"Overestimating your abilities!"

As soon as he spoke, in the next moment, City God waved his hand.

Crack~!

In an instant, the dreamlike Immortal World in front of him shattered.

With a few crisp sounds, it completely turned into dust and disappeared between heaven and earth.

After this world dissipated, City God's vision returned to the mountainside.

"Trouble, trouble, the illusion formation was broken!"

"What should I do now?"

At the same time, at the moment the illusion formation was broken, Mao Ruxue on the mountain suddenly felt a connection.

She had set up this illusion formation a few days ago when she returned to the sect just in case.

The purpose was to see if she could confuse City God and the others.

So that they would know it was difficult and retreat.

But now, this illusion formation didn't even last for a quarter of an hour.

Mao Ruxue suddenly panicked.

She didn't know what to do for a moment.

So, in her panic, her disguise fell off and her figure was revealed.

"Sister, what are you doing?"

Coincidentally, at this moment, Chen Chang'an, who didn't know if he came out to enjoy the moon or for some other reason, happened to see the exposed Mao Ruxue.

"Ah? Senior brother, I... I..."

Seeing Chen Chang'an suddenly appear, Mao Ruxue instantly lost her mind.

She didn't know what to say for a moment.

She couldn't just say, Senior brother, there are people outside who want to harm us, please hide first.

If we really say that, then when Senior Brother asks her how she knew about this matter, it will be troublesome.

"I suddenly couldn't sleep, so I came to Senior Brother's place to see the flowers."

Suddenly, Mao Ruxue's mind turned and she said this.

"Yes!"

"That's right!"

"I came to see the flowers."

In Chen Chang'an's courtyard, if there is one thing that stands out the most, it is undoubtedly the flowers.

These flowers bloom all year round, regardless of the season.

Not only are the flowers elegant, but they also have a strong and pleasant fragrance.

It is understandable that Mao Ruxue said she came to appreciate the flowers.

"Oh, I see."

Upon hearing Mao Ruxue's words, Chen Chang'an seemed to understand.

He nodded and pointed to the stone table and chairs in the middle of the courtyard, saying,

"Since I can't sleep either, come sit here and appreciate the flowers together, my junior sister."

"Oh, Senior Brother."

Unable to resist, Mao Ruxue nodded and sat down on the stone bench.

Chen Chang'an also sat down on the opposite stone bench.

In his hand, he still held a book.

"Senior Brother, what book are you reading?"

Unable to find a topic, Mao Ruxue pointed to the book in Chen Chang'an's hand and asked.

"The Confucian Scholar," Chen Chang'an said.

"The Confucian Scholar?" Mao Ruxue was puzzled. She had never heard of this book.

"Senior Brother, is it a story about a sage of Confucianism?"

"No," Chen Chang'an shook his head.

"Not?" Mao Ruxue was stunned.

She knew that Senior Brother liked reading books, but she didn't expect him to read even obscure books and seem to enjoy them. This surprised her.

She asked again, "Is it about a great Confucian?"

If it was a book by a great Confucian, it would also show good taste.

"Not really," Chen Chang'an shook his head.

"Just an ordinary Confucian scholar."

"Oh, I see," Mao Ruxue stopped asking.

She really couldn't figure out Senior Brother's interests.

Then, Mao Ruxue remembered that there was a City God coming up the mountain from below.

She hesitantly said,

"But Senior Brother, can we not stay here tonight?"

"Why?" Chen Chang'an shifted his gaze from the book to Mao Ruxue, curious.

"No reason," Mao Ruxue suddenly didn't know what to say.

Then, under Chen Chang'an's puzzled gaze, she struggled for a long time and finally came up with a reason:

"I just feel that the wind tonight is particularly strong."

"To avoid catching a cold, it's better for us to go back to our rooms."

"Yes, that's right, it's because I'm afraid of catching a cold."

Chen Chang'an was speechless. "Catch a cold? Junior Sister, do you believe what you just said?"

"I don't believe it."

"But, Senior Brother, trust me, it's really not suitable to be outside tonight."

Mao Ruxue still tried to say something.

But Chen Chang'an on the other side completely ignored her.

Instead, he calmly continued reading his book.

Mao Ruxue thought to herself,

"Oh my, why did I end up with such a Senior Brother!"

At the same time, halfway up the mountain.

The City God's mood at this moment was quite good.

After the illusion array just now, he encountered several small formations along the way.

Some were killing formations, some were trapping formations.

The level of the formation is not low, it seems to be at least at the level of the fourth or fifth realm.

However, the method of arrangement is still immature.

He doesn't even need to deliberately search for the formation's core; as long as he casually strikes, he can break it.

The method of breaking ten thousand formations with one strike is particularly useful here.

Then, the City God took a few steps forward...

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, his brows furrowed.

Because at this moment, the City God realized that he had entered another formation, a illusionary formation.

"Oh? Again?"

"Overestimating your abilities."

Facing this illusionary formation, the City God thought it was just another one of those trash formations he encountered before.

So after a cold snort, he casually struck out, just like before.

After the strike, he was about to take another step and continue moving forward.

"Huh? Not broken?"

However...

Just as the City God had taken half a step forward, he froze.

Because at this moment, he realized that he hadn't escaped from this illusionary realm.

Instead, he found himself in an even larger environment.

Here, there were even creatures with hostility towards him!

A small formation within a larger formation?

"Interesting, very interesting."

The City God laughed upon seeing this.

He didn't expect it to be a formation within a formation, a formation of the Formation Sect.

Formations within formations like this are not common in the entire Formless World, and there are not many people who can arrange them.

However, this kind of formation also has a characteristic, which is that it is very powerful!

The City God truly laughed.

Those formations that can be broken with one strike simply cannot arouse his interest.

Only formations that are slightly challenging can be worthy of his status!

After laughing, the City God walked straight towards the center of the large formation.

At this moment, he didn't even use any of his Dao techniques.

He completely exposed himself to the killing moves of the formation.

As for whether he should worry about being harmed by this formation, the City God was not worried at all.

For formations of such low grade, let alone being exposed inside, even if he lay inside and let it attack, it wouldn't be able to harm him in the slightest!

This is not arrogance.

It is simply a fact!

Don't forget, the City God is a transcendent cultivator who ranks among the seventh realm.

The name of a seventh realm cultivator has long been imprinted in the heavens and the earth, immortalized forever.

Even after death, it will leave behind the imprint of the Dao in the world!

It could become the incarnation of the boundless Thunder Tribulation during Transcending Tribulation, or transform into the boundless power of the heavens and the earth.

Eternal and indestructible!

Therefore, in this world, the only forces that can harm a seventh realm cultivator are usually those of the same realm!

Not to mention the fifth realm, at least the sixth realm!

And it has to be a special sixth realm!

Like the 'True King' position in the Hall of Rebirth, the great Buddha in the Buddhist Gate, or the peerless scholar in the Confucian School!

It is simply impossible to rely on these formations!

So, the City God had no concerns at all!

The next moment, he walked slowly within the formation.

Walking here, walking there.

With his hands behind his back, his face filled with contentment.

It doesn't look like he's here to break the formation at all!

Buzzing~!

Whoosh~!

While the City God strolled within the formation, endless killings poured down towards him.

However, these seemingly world-destroying killings couldn't harm him in the slightest when they hit him.

Even his clothes weren't even slightly disturbed!

"I've found you!"

"Crack!"

Afterwards, in this leisurely stroll-like walk, City God arrived at the core of the formation.

With just one glance, he discovered the weakness of this formation, then chuckled disdainfully and pointed it out.

Buzz~!

Crack, crack, crack~!

Then, the sound of cracking was heard.

In the next moment, the towering formation instantly shattered into pieces.

The environment is released!

"Hehe~!"

"It turns out that only small-minded people would set up such a trap. Although it appears to be more clever than the previous ones, it is still so vulnerable!"

"How can a mayfly shake a giant tree?"

City God looked at the shattered formation on the ground and couldn't help but sneer.

Then, he once again crossed his hands behind his back and continued walking towards the hidden location on the mountain.

Boom~!

Crack, crack, crack~!

Afterwards...

Along the way, City God destroyed many formations, all of which were easily defeated.

Of course, there were also powerful ones.

As the height of the mountain increased, City God encountered some formidable formations.

There were peerless sword formations, terrifying boundless Buddhist realms, and terrifying divine and demonic fields filled with countless gods and demons.

The rank of these formations was not low, with some even reaching the seventh realm.

The seventh realm was already enough to pose a threat to him!

As for who set up these formations, City God didn't need to think too much.

Without a doubt, it was the owner of this mountain, Chen Chang'an!

Besides him, City God couldn't think of anyone else who would bother setting up formations here.

"It seems that this Chen Chang'an does have some skills."

At this moment, City God was about to reach the mountaintop. He looked at the remaining large formation ahead and couldn't help but sigh.

Although he had broken the previous formations, he had to admit that Chen Chang'an was indeed a master.

After all, a seventh realm formation was something that only the old masters of the Formation Sect could set up outside!

Apart from them, only those ancient giants who had reached the eighth realm had some knowledge in this area.

And this Tian Shui Chen Chang'an, with his mere scholar realm, was able to set up formations of such a high level as the seventh realm.

From any perspective, he was indeed a master!

No wonder the Hall of Rebirth values you so much!

However, that's all there is to it!

Looking at the last sky-filling killing formation, City God snorted coldly.

"With my true name, the Great Dao is eternal, with my blood essence, I invoke the power of the Heavenly Slaughter Realm!"

"Break!"

Then, he unleashed all the power in his body, even burning a small portion of his essence blood!

He launched a shocking attack towards the last formation.

This time, City God didn't hold back at all.

After all, as long as he passed through this formation, he would be able to reach the mountaintop.

Boom~!

The power of a seventh realm cultivator's full-force attack was immense.

In the next instant, a loud rumbling sound echoed in the heavens and earth.

Then, a terrifying force descended from the sky.

It was the boundless power of heaven and earth.

They suddenly tilted down from the sky and ruthlessly smashed onto the formation.

Boom~!

After all, a seventh realm formation was still just a formation.

How could it withstand the boundless power of a seventh realm cultivator?

In the next moment, the last formation was instantly destroyed.

"Hahaha, now let's see who can stop me!"

"Heavenly River City's Chang'an, I thought you were so formidable, but it turns out you're just a facade!"

Seeing the formation shatter, a smile of joy appeared on City God's face.

Although a large portion of his mana had been depleted, he didn't care in the slightest.

As long as these formations can be broken.

A mere scholar, isn't he at the mercy of others?

However.

In the next moment.

The City God couldn't laugh anymore.

Because he suddenly realized.

After this large formation was broken, what awaited him was not the main hall of the Hidden Dao Mountain sect, but the halfway point of Hidden Dao Mountain filled with stone steps!

Yes, the City God was still halfway up the mountain!

And the formations he just broke, that series of formations!

From beginning to end, they were just a small illusion he entered after reaching the halfway point!

If this illusion appeared to fluctuate, its highest level would not exceed level three!

In other words, the formations that the City God just exerted so much effort to break were nothing more than a level three illusion formation!!

"Level three?!"

Seeing this scene, the City God was dumbfounded.

He completely lost faith in Law Manifestation, having expended so much effort.

He even burned some of his essence and blood, only to find that he had only broken a small level three illusion?!

How... how is this possible?!

The City God was immediately shocked.

He thought he had made a mistake and wanted to take a closer look.

Buzz~!

However.

Before he could see anything.

In the next moment, he heard a loud buzzing sound.

He found himself surrounded by a circle of formations.

These formations included trapping formations, illusion formations, and killing formations.

And they all had one characteristic: their levels were not high, all around level three or four!

Just like the one he had just broken, there was no difference.

"Could it be the same kind again?"

Seeing these formations and thinking back to the illusion formation just now, the City God couldn't help but feel a bit panicked.

He didn't believe that what happened just now was real, but he was afraid that it was.

However, before he could react.

In the next moment.

Buzz~!

He heard a familiar buzzing sound.

Then, the City God fell directly into one of the formations, a killing formation!

The City God could see clearly that this killing formation was a level four formation!

"Oh my god, what is this?!"

However, when he entered, the City God was completely dumbfounded.

This was not a level three killing formation at all, it was clearly a peerless formation at level seven!

Buzz~!

Countless terrifying flying swords gathered in the sky.

They converged in the sky, emitting an overwhelming killing intent.

Then, after sensing the City God's aura, they directly entered a frenzy mode.

They merged into tens of thousands of even more terrifying flying swords, instantly attacking the City God.

Buzz~!

Along the way, the tens of thousands of flying swords were roaring!

Everything was like a level seven sword master offering an unparalleled slaughter.

The power was so immense that it pierced through heaven and earth!

"Retreat! Retreat!"

Seeing this scene, the City God was immediately horrified.

Although he was also at level seven, this was a technique equivalent to a great sword master offering their entire body to unleash their full power.

It was something he couldn't resist at all.

Immediately, he shouted and erupted with all the Dao techniques in his body, forming a huge protection in front of him.

Then, while maintaining the protection.

He also seemed to be overdrawing.

Crazily spraying out the Dao on his body, and then desperately pulling himself out of this formation.

Zoom zoom zoom~!

In the end, City God slightly gained the upper hand.

When the swords from the sword realm were about to kill him, he managed to retreat just in time.

Then, at the moment he retreated, the place where he had been standing immediately turned into an ocean of countless flying swords, obliterating the space.

Seeing this scene, City God's scalp went numb.

He was now only grateful that he had escaped.

Buzz buzz buzz!

However...

Just as City God was feeling fortunate to have escaped death in the previous moment, in the next moment...

He seemed to have stepped on something extraordinary and instantly entered another formation.

This time, it was an illusion formation!

But within this illusion, everywhere was filled with slaughter.

It was a world of slaughter, with terrifying gods and demons everywhere, screaming endlessly.

They each occupied a corner of the world, pouring out their immense power without regard for their lives.

Their eyes were bloodshot, and they would fight to the death against any living thing they encountered.

Boom!

What is this?

What place is this?!

Seeing this scene, City God suddenly felt like his scalp was about to split open.

Undoubtedly, this was a glimpse of the ancient wilderness.

And the giant beasts that appeared here were all famous ancient beasts.

Even the weakest among them could rival gods and demons!

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a terrifying roar came from behind City God!

A colossal beast had discovered him!

It was a terrifying giant ape, tens of thousands of feet tall, with huge teeth and emitting a terrifying aura of the wilderness.

It locked onto City God and rushed towards him with unmatched ferocity!

Heavens, how could such a terrifying existence exist in the world!

Seeing this giant ape, City God's heart instantly sank.

Although they were both at the seventh realm, in the face of these ancient gods and demons, he could only feel a sense of powerlessness.

Undoubtedly, if they were to fight...

He would definitely perish!

As someone who had cultivated to the seventh realm, City God understood this better than anyone.

Once a person dies in the illusion, their physical body in the outside world will also die.

Roar!

Without giving City God much time to think...

In the blink of an eye, the giant ape had already arrived in front of him while he was still dazed.

The giant ape raised its two arms, which were as powerful as ancient mountains, and ruthlessly smashed down towards City God.

Unparalleled momentum!

"You dare, you beast!"

In a hurry, City God quickly gathered his immense power and clashed with the giant ape.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Then...

In the next moment...

He suddenly felt a numbness in his arm.

His whole body was instantly smashed into the soil.

If it weren't for his strong body, he would have probably died from just this blow!

Ancient giant beasts are so terrifying!

Can't win, must escape!

Seeing this scene, City God quickly made a decision in his heart.

In the next moment, when the giant ape attacked again, he burned his essence and blood without regard for his life.

Finally, he managed to escape at the last moment.

However, even though he had escaped, City God was not in a good state at the moment.

In the next moment, he vomited a mouthful of blood.

"Pluh~!"

It was golden blood!

The blood of a seventh realm god and demon is golden!

He had coughed up his essence and blood!

At this moment, the City God's face has turned pale.

Recalling the terrifying scene that just happened, his heart is trembling even more.

If he had been even a little slower just now, he would have really died there!

There is no doubt about it!

"No, there's something strange about this place, we need to leave here quickly!"

After a short rest, the City God looked up at the distant mountain peak, and a rare expression of fear appeared in his usually calm and composed demeanor.

Experiencing all of this, even the dumbest person would know that there must be something terrifying on this mountain.

Not to mention someone as smart as the City God!

Immediately, the City God stood up and wanted to go down the mountain.

However...

Just as he took a half step forward...

There was another roaring sound.

The next moment, the City God found himself trapped in another formation!

At this moment, the City God felt like he wanted to die!

Flowers bloom on both ends, each showing a different branch.

Meanwhile, inside the Sutra Pavilion of Hidden Dao Mountain, Chen Chang'an and Mao Ruxue were still sitting on stone stools.

"Senior brother, how long are we going to sit here?"

Mao Ruxue asked in confusion.

Her mood was still filled with worry.

Because she could feel that the City God's presence was getting closer to this place.

But it's strange that he suddenly stopped halfway up the mountain.

"Just sit here for now."

"Alright, junior sister, go back and rest."

At this moment, in Mao Ruxue's questioning, Chen Chang'an suddenly stood up and said,

"Huh? We're going back already?"

Mao Ruxue was very puzzled as to why they were leaving already.

It was so sudden.

"Yes, let's go back."

Chen Chang'an nodded, then said,

"I was originally planning to wait for an old friend."

"But he probably won't be able to come tonight."

"So, we'll wait until tomorrow."

Huh? An old friend?

Wait until tomorrow?

Upon hearing Chen Chang'an's words, Mao Ruxue was completely confused.

She had no idea what her senior brother Chen Chang'an was talking about.

But an old friend?

Could it be City God?

Mao Ruxue suddenly thought of this.

No, it shouldn't be City God.

The reason I can sense the City God's presence is because I have the mask personally given to me by Emperor Song.

It allows me to sense the movements of other Yin officials within a hundred miles.

And there are only two masks like this in the world.

One is with me, and the other is with Emperor Song himself.

Senior brother definitely doesn't have this kind of mask, so he is absolutely impossible to sense the City God's presence.

But if it's not City God, then who could it be?

Mao Ruxue was puzzled.

"Oh, by the way, junior sister, I'll trouble you tomorrow."

Suddenly, Chen Chang'an spoke again.

"Huh?"

"You'll trouble me?"

Mao Ruxue didn't quite understand what he meant by this, and her mind was completely focused on the City God halfway up the mountain.

"Yes, it's you."

Chen Chang'an nodded, then he said,

"Tomorrow morning, get up early and go down the mountain to bring a corpse up for me."
