Chapter 203: A Dream Breaks the Formation
When he persuaded Lin Wanru to leave, Chen Cheng was already ready to fight for a long time, and it was estimated that it would take a year and a half to find the secret realm of the extreme north, but he didn't expect the turn of things to come so quickly, and the two of them made new discoveries in just a few hours.
No matter how perfect a formation is, there will always be flaws, even the smallest loopholes will be exploited, not to mention the special nature of the fire spirit, plus Lin Wanru's understanding of the formation.
"Skynet No Phase Array"
Finding the true entrance to the secret realm through the fire spirit, Chen Cheng finally understood the meaning of the Skynet Phaseless Array, which was because the site of this sect, the so-called Extreme North Secret Realm, was blocked by a dense array network.
The entrance to the secret realm is located 800 meters below the ice, and the Skynet Phaseless Array can not only cover the entire secret realm, making it impossible for people to find the entrance, but also play a role in reinforcing the ice.
Chen Cheng was sure that this place must have entered and exited through the teleportation array in the first place, because he hadn't found any trace of the existence of the passage, and he didn't know how big it was now, and the fire spirit could only find a loophole at the entrance to escape into such a deep layer of ice, and the rest of the places were tightly wrapped in the formation, so there was no chance at all;
The entrance to the secret realm was found, but how to enter became a headache, he and Lin Wanru took turns digging holes, and it was not a problem to open a passage, but if they went deep into 300 meters, they would encounter formation blockage.
Lin Wanru knew the power of this formation, and he didn't even have to think about it to forcibly break the formation with their abilities. Only the fire spirit can take advantage of the loophole in the formation to escape, and any other object with a fixed form has no possibility of passing through.
The two of them were really stumped this time, and they couldn't find a good way for a while. It had been outside for a long time, and even the monks felt uncomfortable, so Chen Cheng simply withdrew the fire spirit, found a safe place, and hid in Linglong Tianfu with Lin Wanru.
From the cold ice cellar to the Linglong Heavenly Mansion, the whole body is like soaking in a hot spring, and I just want to lie down quietly. But reality dictates that they don't have time to enjoy it easily, and they have to find a way to enter the secret realm as soon as possible.
Three days passed, and Chen Cheng racked his brains. Lin Wanru was about to break his head, but there was no progress, it was already Chen Cheng's great luck to be able to find the entrance through the Skynet Phaseless Array, this formation was not at all something that the two of them could crack at all.
January passed. Chen Cheng nearly collapsed. The mood was very bad, but after being anxious for a while, Lin Wanru calmed down and began to study hard every day with all the information related to the formation.
Suddenly, one day, when Chen Cheng flashed out of the space and came outside, he found that it was already dark outside, and he reacted to the autumn wind. The polar day weather in the Arctic has been changed to polar night, and you will never see the sun again for half a year. The coldest season has just arrived.
Due to the fact that he had not absorbed star energy for a long time, the original accumulation in Chen Cheng's body had been exhausted, and he couldn't find a way to enter the secret realm for more than a month.
When absorbing star energy, there is no need to worry about the temperature outside, because the star energy will be similar to a solid energy barrier when it gathers to a certain extent, so that he will definitely not feel a trace of cold, even if it is windy and rainy, it will not affect Chen Cheng.
Imagine that it is possible for the ancient gods to sleep for several years and decades, and if the wind and rain are blowing, what will he look like when he wakes up, this is also a talent for the ancient gods.
The deficit was too long, and he was suddenly absorbed, and the speed of star energy collection was a little unable to keep up with the rhythm of Chen Cheng's absorption, and gradually formed an energy vortex around his body, speeding up the speed of star energy collection, and at the same time, the bottom of the ice layer, that is, the blue ice layer under more than a thousand meters, suddenly made a clattering and crushing sound.
Blue ice is a single crystal formed under tremendous pressure after hundreds of thousands or even millions of years of accumulation of ice and snow, which gradually changes and is buried deeply.
The old ice will be affected when Chen Cheng absorbs the star energy, and it will begin to shatter, this is definitely something that Chen Cheng can't think of, he has no idea what has happened to the ice under him, the old ice shatters, and then it is squeezed again, and the color gradually becomes dark, no one can know what to call this new ice layer, and no one will know that these changes are because of Chen Cheng.
Star energy continued to frantically pour into Chen Cheng's body, perhaps because the movement was too great, in the sky above the North Pole, the atmosphere was actually broken through a hole, and the position was just above Chen Cheng, the result can be imagined, the star energy from space can be said to be rushing without atmospheric barriers, which also caused Chen Cheng's speed of absorbing star energy to increase more than ten times.
Only three hours have passed, Chen Cheng felt that his body seemed to be struck by a lightning bolt in his dream, and he suddenly woke up, looking down at his body, hands and feet, there were no signs of injury, and the surroundings were no different from before he went to bed, as if nothing had happened.
The star energy in his body was full again, and he could detect that kind of comfort without deliberately feeling it, and he was fine, but he really remembered the lightning just now, and he wanted to find out the root cause, so he still urged his divine sense to probe around.
There must be something going on, the body will not deceive itself, he thinks that the lightning penetrates the body and does not enter the ice, and he has star energy to protect his body so that he is not injured, but the warm sun jade bed under him is also no problem, Chen Chengcheng doesn't understand, and he doesn't bother to think about it.
The divine consciousness slowly moved downward, reaching a depth of 300 meters and was not affected, and continued to probe downward, and it didn't take long for the images of the fantasy buildings hidden in the middle of the ice to appear in Chen Cheng's brain, as well as independent light sources, but those unknown luminous bodies also made people feel cold and abnormal.
"The formation is gone!" Chen Cheng immediately understood what was happening, and he felt that the ruins in the ice were gradually shrinking after being pressurized, and there were even signs of collapse.
The Skynet Phase Array is not only isolated from the outside world, but most importantly plays a role in supporting the sub-ice world, and the disappearance of the formation has upset the original balance, and the site is likely to be permanently buried in the ice because of this, but this process will take a certain amount of time and cannot be achieved overnight.
Chen Cheng didn't dare to delay, quickly put away the warm sun jade bed, and moved Lin Wanru out of the space again.
The formation disappeared! Lin Wan was puzzled, and after verification, it was indeed as Chen Cheng said, but her understanding of the formation was much higher than Chen Cheng's, so she could see a difference from it.
"The formation was actually destroyed by an external force!" Lin Wan glared at Chen Cheng in disbelief, she really couldn't guess what Chen Cheng had done during his stay outside, the formation was obviously not gone, but the core part was damaged, and the existence of the formation could still be detected in some places.
"Don't look at me like that, I didn't do anything! "Although it was polar night, they were all white, and they could see each other clearly, which was not much different from normal daytime for them.
Lin Wanru was suspicious of Chen Cheng, but with Chen Cheng's strength, it was almost impossible to break the core of the formation, time was pressing, and it was too late to study this problem in detail, under Lin Wanru's suggestion, the two took turns digging the ice road, and they had to use their hands to open an inclined passage to a depth of 800 meters underground.
The passage slopes down all the way, and at a depth of 800 meters, the actual length of the passage will be more than 900 meters away, although they hold the magic weapon in their hands, it is still a huge project for the two of them.
Fortunately, the rate of shrinkage of the ice has not accelerated, and it will take a long time to bury such a large area.
The excavation of the first few hundred meters is relatively easy, the further back the more difficult it becomes, and the air cannot be circulated, if ordinary people have suffocated to death, it will have the same impact on the two of them, but there is no problem with the two-hour rotation.
It took more than two days, and after digging for more than 50 hours, a passage to the underground ruins was completely penetrated, due to the disappearance of the Skynet Phase Array, there was no longer the question of where the entrance was, and the place where they fell was biased to the center of the ruins, and the surrounding area was very empty.
I don't know how much it cost to build an underground complex of this scale, even the huge palace at the original entrance is not something that ordinary people can complete.
The main materials of these buildings are all made of local materials, but when Chen Cheng's short sword touches it, he finds the difference, it seems to be no different from ordinary ice cubes, but it is extremely hard, and the place where the short sword just crossed did not even leave a trace, which shows the solidity of the ice cubes.
Chen Cheng's short sword is a spiritual weapon, extremely sharp, even if the iron is cut like this, there will also be traces, judging by this, it shows how extraordinary the original owner should be, so many buildings, the materials required are not a star, for Chen Cheng to complete such a vast project, it is simply incredible.
Although the ruins are large, under the cover of the two people's divine senses, it only took more than an hour to complete the search of all the areas, and what makes them speechless is that the final result is empty-handed, and the place is clean as if it has been licked by a dog, and there is not even a water cup left, let alone treasures.
The most precious thing is only an ice tower that is not very large, and both of them can see that this is the core control part of the Skynet Phaseless Array, and the runes on it are flashing, but some of the runes have disappeared.
"Is this thing useful, you can't go back empty-handed when you enter Baoshan, you have to get something away!" Chen Cheng asked Lin Wanru's opinion, only she knew that Skynet had no phase array, and before Lin Wanru made a statement, he didn't dare to move the objects related to the formation at will.
"No!" Lin Wanru frowned, "Without this tower, this place will collapse and collapse in an instant, and no one will want to escape!" (To be continued......)
