The Monarch of the Nine States

Weng! *

In front of the nameless array, Cang Yun retracted all of his spirit energy. The light blue halo also slowly dissipated, as if it had never appeared before.

"Brother Yun, how is it?" Cang Ling approached and asked.

Cang Yun gave a slight smile and did not hide anything. "It is indeed a formation, and it was set up by a person."

"Then, what's inside?" Cang Ling's little face lit up with excitement. From his point of view, since there was a formation to conceal the treasure, there must be some kind of treasure within.

For the time being, I am not certain. Not only is the color of the formation so it can't be seen, even Spirit power cannot penetrate it. So, I don't know what exactly is inside, but from the range of the formation, the space inside shouldn't be that big. Cang Yun explained.

"Eh, then is there a way to break this formation?" Cang Ling was completely clueless as to what was going on. He could only cast his gaze towards Cang Yun.

Cang Yun nodded slightly, "There's a way, and there's more than one."

"First, I can use brute force to break it. I tested it just now, and the defense of this formation is only at the fifth layer, so if the two of us work together, we should be able to break it. However, this method is quite dangerous, because as far as I know, some formations have an offensive effect, and if we use brute force to break it, an accident might happen."

"The second method is to slowly study it and find its weakness to break it in one go. However, with my knowledge of formations, this method is not very confident. Even if I can break the formation, it will take at least a while."

Cang Yun slowly recounted the thoughts in his mind while thinking about which method was most suitable.

"I don't know anything, Brother Yun, you can do whatever you want." Cang Ling shook his head. Without any hesitation, he waited quietly for Cang Yun to make a choice.

After a long time.

Cang Yun's furrowed brows relaxed as he made a decision in his heart, "I'll try the second method first. If it really doesn't work, I'll force my way through it."

"I'll be protecting Brother Yun. You can focus on studying." Cang Ling nodded.

"Alright."

Cang Yun nodded and replied. Without further ado, he once again sat down cross-legged. His Mental Energy spread out as it enveloped the formation.

Breaking the array by skill was a very complicated task, because breaking the array by this method would first require the user to understand the operation of the array, and secondly, they would need to find a way to break the array by using this kind of method. Any array, even the lowest level, would have a very complex operation, and this was also why the path of the array was very complicated.

"Thankfully, this formation is not powerful and only seems to be set up by the person who laid the formation. Otherwise, with my Mental Energy, I would not even be qualified to try it."

As he felt the feedback from his Mental Energy, Cang Yun heaved a sigh of relief. The complexity of this formation was similar to the one he had encountered before. However, the trajectory of this formation was rather unfamiliar. Breaking it might not be easy, but it was not impossible.

In the next moment, Cang Yun's eyes were shut as his mind gradually sank into the formation.

Gradually, the traces of the formations were captured by the Azure Cloud Spirit Power and fed back to his mind, gradually forming a complicated pattern.

After an entire four hours had passed, the pattern formed within Cang Yun's mind was only an extremely small piece. Evidently, it would take a very long time to completely assemble it. Moreover, during this process, Cang Yun's Mental Energy must be able to endure it for a very long time.

Not far away, Cang Ling also cast her gaze over. When she saw that unmoving figure, a tinge of worry appeared on Cang Ling's face. This was the Ancient Desolate Forest. If they were to encounter a powerful Spiritual Beast, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Time slowly passed. A day had passed, and the sky gradually darkened.

Within the forest, beast roars rang out one after another. Furthermore, as the light dimmed, it became increasingly excited and violent. At this moment, this place seemed to have become a paradise for spirit beasts.

"Brother Yun, you have to do your best." Cang Ling was carefully hiding under an ancient tree as he watched ahead. At that spot, Cang Yun was still seated cross-legged, as though he did not show any signs of stopping …

Roar!

Suddenly, a beast roar rang out from within the forest. The roar wasn't very loud, but Cang Ling felt a strong sense of danger. He turned around, and discovered a pair of eyes emitting a dark green light, staring at him greedily.

Turning around and glancing at the figure that was still seated cross-legged, Cang Ling clenched her sword and gritted her teeth, "I must buy Brother Yun some time!"

Cang Ling knew that after studying the formation for an entire day, Cang Yun had already found a way to break it. Otherwise, with the personality of the person in the future, he wouldn't be wasting time there.

Furthermore, the aura of the spirit beast in front of them was not that strong.

"Let's go all out!" With a stern look in her eyes, Cang Ling prepared to meet them head on.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

However, the moment he moved, rays of dark green light suddenly appeared from within the forest. They were like dazzling fireflies that covered the surroundings of the forest.

"You don't have to do this, right?" Cang Ling's body trembled and felt her scalp go numb. She hurriedly stopped her feet as well. With so many Spiritual Beasts, continuing to go up was simply courting death.

Roar!

However, not attacking did not mean that they would be safe and sound. The roar of a beast sounded out and countless Spiritual Beasts instantly stormed towards the Spiritual Beast.

The earth trembled, and the aura of their prey caused these spirit beasts to go crazy.

"Damn, Brother Yun, run!" The Blue Spirit trembled, turned around and ran, at the same time, it did not forget to remind Cang Yun.

Hm?

However, when Cang Ling turned his gaze in the direction of the formation, he realised that there was no trace of Cang Yun.

"How is this possible!" Cang Ling was shocked and stood rooted to the spot. For a moment, she even forgot to run.

"Brat, what are you waiting for? Come in."

Right at the moment when the Blue Spirit was panicking, a familiar voice suddenly came from the great formation. This voice caused his body to tremble, and he immediately came to a realization.

"Brother Yun broke the formation!"

Cang Ling was overjoyed as she hurriedly ran towards the direction of the formation.

Weng! *

Just as the Azure Spirit was about to arrive, the large formation immediately opened up a passageway. And as the Blue Spirit entered, the passageway rapidly closed, and their figures and auras, all of them disappeared without a trace.

Roar!

Inside the forest, the group of spirit beasts didn't understand what was going on. They shook their heads, pondered for a while, and then gradually left.

The space had once again returned to its previous calm state. When the two within the formation saw this, they both let out a long sigh of relief before turning their gazes towards an ancient stone house that had existed for god knows how many years.
