118: Chapter 107 Transmission Formation 118: Chapter 107 Transmission Formation “….”
The Saint’s Remnant Soul remained silent.
Looking at the young man’s smiling face before him, he felt that the other party was probably joking with him.
However, considering the events that had just occurred, the other party’s jest didn’t seem like a joke at all, and even the smile on his face seed to be laden with profound aning.
But if that were truly the case,
since embarking on this journey, in many respects, Xu Yuan’s behavior had seed like that of a clueless newbie, hadn’t it?
When witnessing the gore of common village won and old n losing limbs to Demonic Beasts, he would avert his gaze.
Upon his first encounter with bandits blocking the road, he personally took action, and when blood splashed on his face, his heart would race, and he would even feel nauseous and gag.
And during his cultivation, he would also make so of the common mistakes that beginners often make.
All these actions didn’t at all resemble those of a deeply scheming monster.
However, maybe all these things were just part of this guy’s act…
Xu Yuan interrupted Old Man Luo’s thoughts, smiling and saying,
“I’ve discovered you’re quite gullible, old man.
I am not so old monster, of course.
Though, if you insist on calling ‘senior,’ I wouldn’t refuse.”
“Hehe,” the Saint’s Remnant Soul chuckled, noncommittal.
“You don’t believe ?”
“What do you think?”
“It seems you don’t believe .”
“Naturally.”
Xu Yuan spread his hands in a gesture of helplessness,
“Then what if I told you I’ve possessed soone’s body, would that make you feel any better?”
“…..”
After a mont of contemplation, the Saint’s Remnant Soul shook his head, “No, that would feel even worse.”
“…” Xu Yuan.
After a second of silence,
Xu Yuan stopped in his tracks, turned back intending to pat the Saint’s Remnant Soul on the shoulder, speaking earnestly,
“Old Man Luo, let tell you…”
Before he could finish, his hand passed right through the soul body of the Saint.
“…”
The soul body of the Saint glanced over.
Xu Yuan smacked his lips.
“Use Origin Qi,” the Saint’s Remnant Soul reminded.
Xu Yuan coughed lightly, wrapped his palm in Origin Qi, and then patted the shoulder of the middle-aged scholar’s soul body,
“In any case, Old Man Luo, I’ve rely co across so opportunities, you don’t need to overthink it.
As for Secret Techniques like soul refining, I don’t know any of it.”
“…” the Saint’s Remnant Soul.
There was a silent gaze,
Suddenly, the Saint’s Remnant Soul chuckled with a laugh deep as a bass drum,
“Since you say so, Xu lad, I shall trust you for the ti being,” he said.
Xu Yuan responded similarly, “Then I’ll take it that you do believe .”
With that said,
An old man and a young one exchanged a smile.
After the laughter subsided, they continued walking in silence into a hollow beneath the cherry tree.
The hollow was much like those underground chambers in the Xu Residence, gloomy, narrow, and of unknown depths.
Xu Yuan walked slowly on the staircase, silently calculating in his mind.
He had been prepared for a long ti for the Saint’s Remnant Soul to notice sothing off about him.
Without this old man, he would not dare to venture deep into the Secret Realm, even with Ran Qingmo by his side.
With his current strength, entering these Secret Realms was akin to a Level 30 character from Cang Yuan attempting a Level 80 dungeon.
Take, for example, the Enchantress Divine Sakura Tree and that Leech King, both being Level 85 Bosses in Cang Yuan, but in the particular environnt of Sakura Leech Lake, even Level 90 ordinary players might not be able to defeat them, rounding it up to roughly equivalent to a First Grade Mortal Transcendence in reality.
Without the Saint’s Remnant Soul, would he, Xu Yuan, dare to co?
Just like in Cang Yuan, it was indeed possible to play using an unorthodox thod to clear the level, but one had to have the strength to reach this place first.
If one were unlucky and teleported to so other place, encountering “minor monsters” along the way, without the protection of the Saint’s Remnant Soul, with such strength, he probably would have to say goodbye to this world with just a graze.
This ti he, Xu Yuan, had just been lucky, transported directly to this Sakura Leech Lake…
Thinking of this,
Xu Yuan’s train of thought paused slightly, he mused for a mont, and then shook his head with a playful expression.
Being transported here, in fact, should probably be considered terribly unlucky.
After all, the Leech Cherry Lake was almost one of the most dangerous places in the Do Palace, and he had been directly transported into that soul-bewildering corridor upon arrival.
He managed to pass through so easily only because he knew its secrets.
If he hadn’t known, even with a Saint’s Remnant Soul protecting him, ninety-nine percent likely he would have died here.
Tsk, a luck value as high as three points, truly does not deceive him.
In the future, he would need to pay more attention to this matter.
Next ti there was random teleportation, he would have to take Big Ice Lump along with him.
During these thoughts,
Xu Yuan and the Saint’s Remnant Soul had already reached the bottom of the tree hollow.
After tens of thousands of years, the roots of the Enchantress Divine Sakura Tree had deeply penetrated the secret chamber; its complex network of roots intricately entwined within the stone room, but fortunately, the formation patterns seed to be undamaged.
Extending his will-spirit slightly, Xu Yuan found that these were formation patterns he had never seen before, and he conjectured in his heart that they should probably be part of the Transmission Formation, turning to look at the Saint’s Remnant Soul:
“Old Man Luo, how is this transmission formation used?”
The Saint’s Remnant Soul stared at him without speaking, his gaze as if saying:
Go ahead, keep pretending, let’s see how long you, old rascal, can keep it up.
Xu Yuan’s eyelid twitched.
And at this mont, the Saint’s Remnant Soul suddenly spoke:
“Xu boy, you knew there was a transmission formation here, yet you don’t know how to use it?”
Xu Yuan rolled his eyes and said in a low voice,
“Nowadays, under the blazing sun, transmission formation patterns have beco extinct, where would I have used this?”
“Alright.”
The Saint’s Remnant Soul didn’t show whether he believed or not but nodded and waved casually.
The intricate formation patterns carved in the stone chamber imdiately filled up like water flowing into a channel, and the emitted flickers of white light illuminated the dim tree hollow.
Seeing this, Xu Yuan suddenly asked,
“Old Man Luo, do you know why the transmission formations have beco extinct in the outside world?”
The Saint’s Remnant Soul replied, gleeful and casual while initiating the formation,
“They’ve been lost.”
“Lost?” Xu Yuan frowned.
The Saint’s Remnant Soul looked at Xu Yuan’s expression, feeling an urge to make a quip, but simply explained,
“Engraving so special formations requires certain special resources, but throughout the ages, the extraction by cultivators and the changes in Origin Qi have caused so resources to beco extinct.
Without these resources, many formations can no longer be engraved, and as ti passed, they naturally faded into obscurity.”
Xu Yuan listened carefully and understood, asking no further questions.
However, the Saint’s Remnant Soul marveled,
“The formation in this tree hollow is quite ingenious; in addition to the transmission formation, there seems to be other greater arrays.”
Saying this,
he cast a aningful glance at Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan ignored him.
After a short while, the glow within the tree hollow suddenly returned to stillness.
Xu Yuan asked,
“Did it succeed?”
The Saint’s Remnant Soul shook his head,
“This formation requires a Soul Key to activate.
Forcing it will trigger the formation’s backlash.”
“….”
Xu Yuan’s eyes took on a strange expression.
Were the formation activations in this world of cultivation also password-protected?
After pondering for an instant, he quickly ca to terms with it.
In this world, many of the crucial locations’ major formations were akin to the nuclear launch codes of his previous life; it would be illogical if just anyone could operate these central hubs of power.
After a brief mont of contemplation, Xu Yuan spoke softly,
“Old Man Luo, try controlling my body.”
“Hmm?”
The Saint’s Remnant Soul sounded puzzled but, recalling the sakura emblem that had rged into the boy’s forehead just before, cheerfully burrowed into the Soul Ring.
After a second of silence,
Xu Yuan casually waved his hand, and the formation activated again.
Approximately the ti it took to brew a cup of tea later, Xu Yuan’s forehead suddenly revealed a sakura emblem.
With this emblem’s appearance, the formation seed to unlock a crucial link, emitting a sonorous hum!
The next instant,
the entire tree hollow was illuminated by the light emitting from the formation patterns as bright as daylight!
