Chapter 166: The Boundary in the Painting
The palace has no gates, and it seems that anyone can enter it. However, the moment Cao Fan stepped into the palace, the entrance suddenly flashed with brilliance. When he turned around and tried to get out, he found an invisible barrier blocking his way.
Cao Fan tried to hit the barrier several times, but each time he was bounced back by an invisible force, each time more elastic than the last, and finally simply bounced him through the corridor of about ten zhang and landed in a large hall.
It is an octagonal hall, and each corner has a pillar carved by a coiling dragon.
The eight pillars were connected by a white chain of light, faintly exuding an astonishing coercion.
Cao Fan's cultivation was already quite high, but in the face of this coercion, he couldn't support it, and there was a thought in his mind that he wanted to kneel down and surrender.
"That's amazing!" Cao Fan thought secretly in his heart. He tried to sober himself up, and quickly took a look at the hall.
In addition to the eight eerie pillars, each of the eight walls of the main hall has a mural that occupies the entire wall.
Cao Fan could see at a glance that although each mural was brightly colored, all of them were very blurry. He opened the Eye of Joy and Discernment, and subconsciously probed his Divine Sense. The moment his divine consciousness touched the first mural, a golden light suddenly flew out of the painting, completely enveloping him.
Immediately afterwards, Cao Fan felt that his body was pulled by a strong suction, and he was actually sent directly into the mural.
Cao Fan was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly struggled with all his might. Once he is really caught up in this mural, God knows if he will be able to come out again.
At this time, Cao Fan had even grabbed the golden hoop stick (pseudo) in his hand, aimed one end of the stick at the wall, and then let it extend it at high speed.
With a "bang", the golden hoop rod swelled seven or eight feet and slammed into the wall.
The strange golden light that was sucking Cao Fan trembled violently, but the suction power from inside did not decrease but increased. This time, Cao Fan had no choice, and was forcibly sucked into the mural by the golden light.
Cao Fan vaguely remembered that the mural on this wall he had seen through the Eye of Insight was an old man with fairy wind and bones teaching something to a large group of people. Before he could get a closer look, the man was already in the painting.
At this time, Cao Fan found himself sitting at the end of the group of people in the picture he saw just now, and all these people in front of him were listening to the old man's explanation in fascination, and he didn't realize that there was suddenly an extra person behind him.
Cao Fan looked at it and actually recognized several Taoist clothes worn by some of these people.
There are not only the costumes of Haofeng Academy, Lingxi Divine Palace, Qingtian Sect and other sects, but also the costumes of the disciples of the Cangyun Sect. However, the cultivation of these people is not trivial, and after Cao Fan opened the eye of insight, what he saw was actually the realm of the Dan Period.
Cao Fan couldn't tell whether these people were the characters in the painting or the real ones. If it's a person in the painting, it's too realistic. But if it was a real person, how many years did they have to stay in this painting?
A terrible thought sprouted in Cao Fan's heart. In a few years, will he be like these people in the painting, and he will be sitting here in such a fascination and becoming a permanent landscape on this painting?
These people in the painting from the major sects in the southern region of the Kunxu Continent are probably all monks in the Yudan stage who entered the Floating Light Boiling Sea Refining Body, and they were lucky enough to discover this island and enter the palace. Then, as curious as he was, he used his divine sense to probe the contents of the mural, and was drawn into the painting by the golden light in the painting.
From the painting, there was actually a monk of the Cangyun Sect in the Yudan period, Cao Fan felt that these murals might have existed for at least a hundred years.
No, we have to find a way to get out!
Cao Fan wanted to stand up and find a way out, but as soon as his feet exerted force, he felt an invisible force firmly pressing his shoulders, making him unable to stand up at all.
I can't move, how can I get out?
Cao Fan finally understood why these people didn't get up after sitting here. It's not that they don't want to, it's that they can't.
Ever since he entered the mural, Cao Fan had been trying his best to avoid any contact with the old man with the immortal wind bones, whether it was his sight or divine sense. But he found himself now with no choice but to try and look at the other person.
At the moment when Cao Fan swept his divine sense onto the old man, a large amount of information was immediately poured into his mind.
It turned out that the eight walls together were called the middle of the painting, and the mural he entered was the formation of the middle of it.
Those monks wearing different sect costumes were indeed in the realm by mistake, just like him.
The clue to the boiling sea is indeed in the middle of this painting. As long as the monks who enter the realm can complete the task requirements of the realm elders, they will not only be able to leave the realm in the painting. It can also activate the teleportation array in the center of the main hall to send it away from the Floating Light Boiling Sea.
The task requirements of the elders vary from person to person. This is the formation realm, and the task is naturally related to the formation path. If the monk is a third-level formation mage, it is possible that his task requires him to break through to a fifth-level formation mage, or to arrange a standard-breaking formation.
The so-called standard-breaking formation is to arrange a formation that is higher than the ultimate power of a certain formation level.
If a formation mage wants to advance, it is difficult to achieve it without decades of study. It also depends on the individual's qualifications and the level of the formation, beyond the limit of the individual's qualifications, the monk will not be able to successfully advance even if he is the whole of his life.
Looking at the monks of the major sects in the painting, you can see that they have not completed the task requirements of the Realm Elder for so many years.
Cao Fan's heart is the word "unlucky", and he feels that he is really declining to home.
For the formation path, he was completely blinded, and he had never touched it at all. Those veteran monks of Yuan Zhaoxing probably had some foundation in the formation, and they were all trapped in the formation and couldn't get out, let alone him.
Why isn't it kendo? Why isn't it a refining body? It's also a practice method!
Cao Fan felt that he was completely planted here. Even if the Heavenly Fortune World forcibly teleported him back after the end of this trial, what would the Cangyun Three Elders and Xiahou Nan do? What should the Cangyun Sect do? If the original teleportation spar is teleported again, it will return to the location where the teleportation was last initiated, that is, the Shushan World. No matter what, he will never be able to return to the original omen.
Thinking of the promise he made to the Lu Cangyu Divine Mind Body, and thinking of the high hopes that the Five Ancestors of Cangyun placed on him, Cao Fan knew that he would definitely not admit it.
This time, he would rather believe in the Heavenly Fortune System and believe that he is indeed lucky.
He's going to attack this formation mission!
