Refining Genius Cultivation

When Fang Yunlong saw the Old Man Gu and the middle-aged scholar enter the array, he immediately activated the array.

Previously, Fang Yunlong was blocked by a few people at the top of the mountain. There was a cliff behind him, but he had nowhere to retreat to.

Pretending to be seriously injured and appearing exhausted, he could confuse the few of them, causing them to drop their guard and finally fall into his meticulously laid out array formation. Judging from the current situation, his plan was a success. Not only that, he had the chance to make all of them stay behind.

Thinking about that, Fang Yunlong looked at Yimeng who was playing outside of the array, and endured the surging sensation in his mind, again listening to the mysterious and wonderful zither music. After that, he split his thoughts, using the unknown Innate Qi to block the sound of Yimeng's zither as he controlled the array.

This was the high level formation that Fang Yunlong had recently comprehended from the < Encyclopedia of Formations > — the Sky Origin Formation. The Sky Origin Formation did not have many requirements, nor was it very complicated to set up. However, it could only be cast by people who were well versed in array formations.

Before the array was activated, it looked no different from the Nine Palace Formation from the outside. However, after the array was activated, from the outside, it looked like the primal chaos of before the array was opened, and within the array, there were the four seasons.

Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter cycled through the four seasons. Sometimes, the branches of the red apricot trees would grow hot, sometimes the sun would burn, sometimes the autumn wind would grow cold, and sometimes the snow would drift down into the distant sky. There were waves of killing intent hidden within the changing seasons.

The source of the killing intent came from the person in charge of the formation. Within the Heaven Origin Array, the person in charge of the formation could not be seen, but the person in charge of the formation could appear anywhere in the formation and be concealed by the formation and the four seasons.

It was a fatal blow. In the red and green spring, a willow leaf lightly falls on your shoulder, that may be the sword that takes your life. Similarly, a summer thunderstorm, a autumn fruit, a winter snowflake can become your nightmare.

Perhaps the Sky Origin Array was the Four Seasons Array that the middle-aged scholar's master had mentioned. There was one thing that the middle-aged scholar was right about, but the biggest flaw of this formation was that if the person trapped inside didn't move, then he wouldn't be harmed until the formation was fully activated.

Fang Yunlong quietly watched the motionless Old Man Gu and the middle-aged scholar inside the Heavenly Yuan Array. He was not anxious at all, he slowly increased the might of the Heavenly Yuan Array, like warm water boiling a frog.

The middle-aged scholar suddenly pointed at a red light spot, and said to the old man named Gu: "Senior Gu, right here, use all your strength. As long as you kill Fang Yunlong, you can break the formation."

The old man from the Gu family did not dare to be negligent. With a wave of the Long Sword, he activated the Sword Qi which he was most proud of, aiming for the red light spot that appeared in the array.

A sword light flashed, like a shooting star, it moved, and with a "ding" sound, the Long Sword pierced into Fang Yunlong's Heaven Cleaving Sword Art. A burst of inner strength came forth, causing Fang Yunlong to be forced three steps back, the blood and Qi in his body churning.

Seeing that his attack was effective, the old man surnamed Gu was overjoyed. However, he was also a little confused by the fact that Fang Yunlong was able to block his full power attack due to his heavy injuries. At this time, the middle-aged scholar's anxious voice sounded beside his ear, "Senior Gu, quickly, continue!"

Old Man Gu hurriedly pierced towards the red light spot, but when the Long Sword pierced through, the red light spot had already disappeared without a trace, the Long Sword pierced into the air, and the scene of the autumn wind blowing in the array appeared. The middle aged man became anxious and quickly tried to find Fang Yunlong's position.

The Sky Origin Formation finally revealed its fangs that had been hidden for a long time and started attacking the two people in the formation.

The autumn wind rustled, leaves fluttered in the air, and the fallen leaves covered the entire sky, causing people to sigh with emotion at the ruthlessness of the autumn sun. The floating leaves gently blossomed in front of the old man with the surname Gu and the middle-aged scholar. They suddenly revealed sharp claws and fangs, and fiercely pounced towards the two.

The old man from the Gu family shouted, and waved the Long Sword, forming a defensive Shield formed by sword light in front of the two of them. The moment the leaves came into contact with the sword light, they were shattered into pieces, and gradually, more and more leaves fell.

The scene in front of his eyes changed, the withered yellow leaves disappeared, and before the old man named Gu could heave a sigh of relief, the cold wind howled like a lion without end. Snowflakes swirled in the air, and the Shield formed from the sword light could not withstand the thin snowflakes.

When the snow fell on the two of them, it blossomed into a blood-red flower. Old Man Gu's expression changed. He retracted his Long Sword and pulled the middle-aged scholar to his side. Circulating his internal energy, he formed an inner strength Shield outside of the two of them, causing the snow droplets to no longer be able to reach his body.

The snow grew heavier and heavier, like goose feathers that fluttered in the air, falling onto the two of them. The Shield was in a precarious situation, while the old man surnamed Gu's face was as pale as snow.

Raising his head up to the sky and howling angrily, the old man surnamed Gu's face instantly turned as red as blood, and his Shield s expanded slightly as well. At this time, the sky filled with snow had turned into a continuous spring rain. It was like a gentle breeze caressing one's face. The spring rain fell like silver threads.

Through the Shield, they could see traces of blood on their bodies. The old man surnamed Gu's heart was filled with despair. Not long after, the middle-aged scholar miserably cried out, and a rain of spring rain sprinkled onto his head. In an instant, the middle-aged scholar collapsed to the ground and died.

Seeing the middle-aged scholar die in front of him, the old man surnamed Gu seemed to have gone crazy. The Long Sword quickly danced and shouted while performing his strongest sword technique in an attempt to block the spring rain. But after a while, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled within the array, and the drizzling rain gradually turned into a torrential rain.

More than two hours had passed, Yimeng was still tirelessly playing the Jade Zither, the foreboding in her heart was getting stronger and stronger. Finally, she put down her pale white hands, stared at the tornado like array, and did not say a word.

Old Man Dong and Fatty looked at Yimeng. They felt uneasy as Old Man Gu had brought the middle aged scholar into the array more than two hours ago, there had been no news of him at all. The fatty could not help but ask: "Miss, can Senior Gu and Old Hong break out of the array?"

Yimeng's gaze wandered as she said unconfidently: "With Old Senior Gu's near Innate strength and Senior Hong's attainments in formations, even if the two of them cannot break the formation, they should be able to safely exit the array."

Suddenly, his face changed, "Oh no, we were tricked, Fang Yunlong's injuries were all feigned, and it seems like this array is not the Nine Palace Formation."

Yimeng's words caused the fatty and the old man surnamed Dong's expression to change greatly. The fatty anxiously asked: "Miss, how did Fang Yunlong's injuries become fake? Previously, he was hit by Senior Dong's walking stick, and was chased by us for a whole night, so it can't be good now. "

Yimeng said bitterly: "Looks like we were all deceived by Fang Yunlong. When I saw Taoist Tian's death, I felt that something was off. Thinking back to it now, Daoist Tian wasn't killed by Fang Yunlong during the battle, but when he was begging for mercy.

After being killed by Fang Yunlong, it could be seen that even though Fang Yunlong had not fully recovered from his injuries at that time, he had more or less recovered. But when we saw him.

Since his injuries are so serious, it's impossible for him to make Daoist Tian beg for mercy. From this, it can be seen that we've all been deceived by him. It seems like Old Senior Gu and Senior Hong definitely won't have much luck. "

Old Man Dong and the fatty looked at each other. A deep chill ran through their hearts and their faces paled.

Elder Dong cautiously asked, "Miss, what should we do now? Should we continue waiting here or …"

The fat man immediately understood Old Man Dong's meaning and said angrily: "Old Dong, what are you trying to do? Do you want to abandon Old Gu and Old Hong and run away?"

Old Man Dong saw Yimeng's beautiful face and couldn't figure out what Yimeng was thinking, so she could only bite the bullet and say: "Fatty, it's not that this old man is afraid of death, Old Gu and Mister Hong have already been in battle for so long and there's still no news about it, I'm afraid the odds are against us.

With Old Gu's martial arts skills and Mr. Hong's familiarity with formations, he was unable to break out. Even if you add on the fact that the few of us here are useless, you might as well ask someone else to break out and kill Fang Yunlong. "

Although the fatty was reckless, he still understood that old man Dong's words were reasonable. However, he felt apologetic for abandoning the old man Gu and the middle-aged scholar, and scolded the old man Dong softly, but was unable to say anything. He could only turn his face to Yimeng.

Yimeng sighed, "Let's wait a little longer. Maybe Old Senior Gu and Senior Hong will come out soon."
