Legend of the Great Sage

d inside.
He was unscathed, but it did make a lot of the clouds around him disperse, so he immediately moved much slower.
He cursed, “You underhanded bitch!”

Gu Yanying soared away with a laugh.
“Thank you for your praise!”

……

Li Qingshan looked up under the daylight.
The deep hole carved the sky into a circle.
Beneath his feet was a lake, and it directly connected with the ocean.
The fierce waves created by Ao Xuan had yet to settle.

This was the centre of the entire Xuanming dwelling—as indicated by the formation scroll—as well as the core of the Xuanming formation.
However, it was empty as far as the eye could see, without any signs of any critical points.

This was another wondrous aspect of the Xuanming dwelling to guard against the most extreme of situations.
The core was hidden away carefully for situations like the current one, where an enemy infiltrated the place and might want to destroy the formation from within.
It could not even be found, so of course, it could not be destroyed.

It was like a secret room that only the owner could open.
Even if others guessed its location, they could not enter the place.

Li Qingshan was well-prepared.
Without any hesitation, he powered the Xuanming formation disc, producing ripples of light.

In an instant, the empty cavern became filled with thousands of beams of light and countless profound inscriptions, gathering in from all directions and condensing into a ball of resplendent light, reflecting in Li Qingshan’s eyes.

There were a total of nine layers to the ball of light, constantly revolving around slowly and pulling the beams of light and inscriptions along with it, controlling the entire Xuanming formation.

This is it!

Li Qingshan beamed with joy.
With that, destroying the formation would no longer be anything difficult, but that was not his intention.
Instead, he was trying to become the new owner of this place.

He had finally reached the most critical moments.
The ball of light was like an extremely complicated treasure chest.

He possessed the key and understood the structure inside, but if he wanted to obtain the treasure inside, he had to crack the code that the original owner had left behind.
Using force would only destroy the treasure chest and the treasure together.

By then, all of his efforts would go to waste when Ao Xuan returned.
He could cast down a new protective formation, and Li Qingshan would lose the Xuanming dwelling completely, becoming saddled with a great debt for nothing.
Once he was capable of breaching the formation by force and defeating Ao Xuan, he probably would not need the dwelling anymore.

This was the only chance!

That was why he had not been in a hurry to do anything.
He simply stared at the core of the formation; his expression became calm and emotionless.
His gaze sank like the deep ocean as if he was not in enemy headquarters, like none of this had anything to do with him.

With the Spirit Turtle Transformation, he turned into a great turtle and sank into the lake slowly.

Immediately, the billowing waves settled.
The surface became as smooth as a mirror, clearly reflecting the ball of light as well as the beams of light and inscriptions.

Start calculating.

The ball of light in the water gradually began to revolve faster.
The beams of light wove together as the inscriptions flashed, constantly changing with each passing second.
It formed a clear contrast with the slow-spinning ball of light above.

The so-called “code” definitely was not just the matter of a few numbers.
Instead, he needed to understand the way the entire formation operated and find the imprint that the original owner had left in the depths of the core.

If he could not erase this imprint fast enough, Ao Xuan would sense it, and he could alter the way the formation operated instantly even if he was thousands of kilometres away, resetting the code.
By then, all of his efforts would go to waste.

Time trickled by.
A prayer bead leapt out from Li Qingshan’s clothes, turning into a skull that called out, “Qingshan, she can’t hold on for much longer!”

Li Qingshan suddenly reverted to human form and leapt out of the water, unleashing the Ape Demon Extends its Arm as he grabbed the ball of light in the air.

“The Ape Demon Locks the Space!”
