Chapter 212 - 212 212 Invisible Array Second Update

212: Chapter 212: Invisible Array (Second Update) 212: Chapter 212: Invisible Array (Second Update) At this moment, everyone had realized that these chains weren’t just for securing the palace, there was a hidden mechanism to them.

The chains were the only pathway to the palace, but they were incredibly peculiar.

One wrong move and one would fall into the magma, losing their life immediately, leaving no one to dare to take such a risk.

Amongst the crowd, there was hardly anyone who could survive if they fell into the magma.

“Damn it, a few broken iron chains actually contain so many secrets.

Is there really no way to approach the palace?”

At this time, the faces of the people from the Five Great Powers were gloomy.

The treasure was in front of them, but they couldn’t obtain it, which was definitely a torment.

“Third Brother, did you discover any clues?”

Long Chen asked.

“Not yet.”

Long Yan shook his head slightly, he also had no idea for the time being.

As time went by, nobody could see through the mystery.

Finally, Cold Hundred Refinement, Liu Yang, and Red Eyebrows had an idea.

The Five Great Powers would offer a handsome reward for anyone willing to attempt it.

They could get fourth-grade back-stage Dan medicine for trying, and a king-grade pill if they succeeded.

In the face of high rewards, there must be brave men!

As expected, some people in the Heavenly Martial Realm voluntarily stood up, climbed onto the iron chains, and began attempting to approach the palace.

In the following time, several people climbed onto the iron chains one after another, but without exception, they all triggered the power on the chains after reaching the middle section, eventually falling into the magma.

Among these were disciples from Pill King Hall.

Long Yan didn’t try to stop those who were risking their lives for the treasure.

His gaze was always fixed on the sixteen chains, trying to discover a clue.

Time quickly passed by two Time-Units.

Altogether, over thirty people from the Heavenly Martial Realm had fallen.

“I’ve figured it out.”

At this moment, Long Yan’s eyes lit up, having finally discovered the secret of the chains.

“Junior Palace Master, did you find anything?”

Moyuan asked curiously.

“If my guess is correct, we’re already in the middle of a Great Formation.”

Long Yan said.

“Long Yan, don’t talk nonsense.

Where is any Great Formation here?”

Liu Yang snorted coldly and rebuked him rudely.

Other than the ban restricting their movement, there was no other abnormality.

He found it hard to believe that a Great Formation could exist here, and he felt that Long Yan was probably trying to trick them.

“Liu, old dog, I don’t bother to argue with a narrow-minded, ignorant frog like you.”

Long Yan gave Liu Yang a disdainful look.

“Long Yan, give us your reason.”

Cold Hundred Refinement and Red Eyebrows also didn’t believe Long Yan, but they still hoped that Long Yan had discovered something.

“Look, there are runes on these sixteen chains.

If you observe carefully, you can see that there are two kinds of these runes.

The runes on adjacent chains are not the same, and there is some connection between the runes on these chains.

These are not simple prohibition runes, but formation runes.”

After a pause, Long Yan continued: “If I am right, these sixteen chains are the foundation of two Great Formations.

The power of the two Formations cancels each other out and achieves a delicate balance.

That’s why it’s hard to detect.

This kind of formation is called an Invisible Array.”

In his past life, he had heard of the Invisible Array.

If not careful, even the strongest might fall into the Invisible Array.

The preparation and placement of the Invisible array could only be achieved by a few Array Masters.

If this palace was indeed left by the Red Emperor, his skills in formation should have reached a certain level.

“Invisible Array?”

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.

They had never heard of an Invisible Array before.

Although they instinctively doubted Long Yan, he made a reasoned and detailed explanation.

He didn’t seem like he was lying.

“Boss, you know so much!”

Fat Cat admired Long Yan more and more.

“Since you’ve discovered the secret, is there a way to approach the palace?”

Red Eyebrows asked.

The most important thing to everyone was how to enter the palace and obtain the treasures inside.

“Of course, since I’ve figured out that this is an Invisible Array, I have a way to enter the palace.”

Long Yan glanced at the Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect and the Ancient Sword Gate on purpose and said, “But even if I know the way, I won’t share it with you.

Some people have really annoyed this young master.”

As soon as he said this, everyone guessed that Long Yan was deliberately targeting the Ancient Sword Gate and the Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect.

Both of these powers had conflicts with him.

“Damn it!”

At this time, the people from the Ancient Sword Gate and the Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect were upset, and could only silently curse Long Yan in their hearts.

“Long Yan, we all came for the treasure.

Since you know how to approach it, stop playing games and tell us.

What are your conditions?”

Cold Hundred Refinement immediately saw through what Long Yan was planning—he simply wanted to take advantage of the situation to gain some benefits.

This was Long Yan’s usual tactic.

“Just what I expected.

My condition is simple: the people from Pill King Hall have to go into the palace first.”

Long Yan said.

“Alright, we agree with you.

Now tell us, how can we enter the palace?”

Cold Hundred Refinement, Red Eyebrows, and Liu Yang had all guessed that this would be his condition, and they agreed to it immediately.

They had no choice but to ask him for help.

Invisibly, a sneer flashed in Liu Yang’s eyes.

“The key to the Invisible Array is balance.

As long as the Array remains balanced, it won’t get triggered.

Meaning, if sixteen people simultaneously get on the sixteen chains and keep their steps coordinated, they can successfully enter the palace.”

Long Yan said.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…

The moment Long Yan finished talking, the sixteen strongest people among the Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect made their move.

As Long Yan had explained, the sixteen of them climbed onto the chains at the same time and rushed towards the palace.

“Liu Yang, you…”

Moyuan’s face changed.

He was so angry that he was about to explode.”

“They are desperate for the treasure, it has nothing to do with me.”

Liu Yang shamelessly responded.

These sixteen people were the strongest among all the people from the Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect present.

Once they entered the palace, they would definitely grab some treasures.

Cold Hundred Refinement and Red Eyebrows did not expect Liu Yang to be so despicable.

However, it was too late to stop them unless someone was willing to die to break this balance.

However, when the sixteen Martial Kings walked to the midpoint of the chains, the prohibition of the chains was triggered again.

All sixteen Martial Kings fell into the magma, none of them escaping the fate.

“Hum, you want to play games?

This young master will teach you a lesson.”

A smirk appeared on Long Yan’s face.

He had already known that Liu Yang was not a good person and had already prepared for it, so he secretly held back.

“Long Yan, how dare you lie to me?”

At this moment, Liu Yang’s face turned liver-colored.

Those were sixteen Martial Kings, among which three were Fifth level Martial Kings.

The faces of Cold Hundred Refinement, Red Eyebrows, and others also turned ugly.

The method Long Yan had mentioned obviously didn’t work.

They felt that Long Yan had tricked them.

“So what if I lied to you?”

Long Yan sneered: “I haven’t finished speaking, yet you were in such a hurry.

This is your lesson: those who don’t follow the rules will only be weeded out.”
