Chapter 2961 - 2960: Heavenly Star Formation
Chapter 2961: Chapter 2960: Heavenly Star Formation
At the moment, Lin Dong discovered something he hadn’t noticed earlier.
He noticed a mural that actually had nothing to do with the General Minister King.
That mural did not contain the figure of the General Minister King.
The mural depicted a person whose face was unclear, performing some kind of ritual.
It seemed to use fresh blood to worship something...
"This mural is evidently different from the others. The other murals all describe the life of the General Minister King. But this one depicts a stranger conducting some kind of sacrificial ceremony."
"This is somewhat surprising, why is this mural different from the others? Could it be hinting at something?"
A lightning-like thought flashed through Lin Dong’s mind.
He came up with a possibility.
"Could it be that the way to open this mural space is through a blood offering?" Thinking of this, he considered trying.
Anyway, attempting a blood sacrifice wouldn’t cause any loss if it didn’t work.
With this thought, he prepared to draw some blood from himself to give it a try.
However, at this moment, Dracula suddenly spoke: "Brother Lin, are you thinking of using fresh blood to trigger some hidden space within this mural?"
"This method doesn’t work, I tried before."
"Oh? You’ve tried?" Lin Dong was curious, surprised that Dracula had attempted it earlier.
"Yes, I tried. After all, this is the Ancient General Tomb, and generals and zombies love fresh blood, so in many places, mechanisms can be opened with blood. As was the case before, we used blood to open some mechanisms along the way..."
"So naturally, I dripped blood on these walls, but it didn’t work. There was no reaction at all..."
In his view, trying to unveil a secret with blood was clearly not workable.
But Lin Dong still wanted to give it a try.
What if Dracula’s blood didn’t work, but his did?
"Trying doesn’t hurt." Lin Dong said laughingly.
Then, he pierced his fingertip, drew some fresh blood, and mimicked the special mural, performing that peculiar ’blood offering’.
At first, there was indeed no reaction for five or six minutes...
Seeing this, Dracula said: "I told you, this method doesn’t work. Why won’t you believe me..."
However...
Before finishing his sentence, he saw the mural in front start to change suddenly.
They began to appear illusory, and afterward, a dark vortex formed in the center of the wall, like an entrance to a ’void space’.
This entrance was exactly like the mural space entrances Lin Dong had accessed before on the second, third, and fourth walls.
"You really did it? Why, why doesn’t my blood work, but Brother Lin yours does? This is too strange!" Dracula couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.
Lin Dong couldn’t understand either, he could only guess: "Could it be that my blood’s level is higher? My bloodline is superior?"
"This..." Dracula froze for a moment, then muttered: "This is really possible."
If anyone else claimed their bloodline level was higher than his, he wouldn’t acknowledge it, might even verbally retaliate.
But Lin Dong was different.
In front of Lin Dong, even if he considered his vampire bloodline to be high above, it couldn’t compare to Lin Dong.
In front of Lin Dong, his bloodline was simply not worth mentioning.
At the moment, Lin Dong didn’t say anything further, instead looked at the mural space entrance, continuing: "This still requires entering with the method of soul detachment, Dracula, I’m going in first."
After speaking, he had his soul detached, and the soul entered the mural space.
As for Dracula, he also wanted to enter.
Unfortunately, as soon as he employed soul detachment, and his soul touched the mural space entrance, a force from within the mural space repelled him.
"Boom~~~"
He simply couldn’t enter!
"F*ck!" This scene made him subconsciously curse.
Apparently, his bloodline talent couldn’t compare to Lin Dong, nor could his soul and others.
Or perhaps, since Lin Dong’s blood opened it, only he could enter?
And since his blood couldn’t open it, his soul couldn’t enter?
But whatever the reason, it showed he couldn’t match Lin Dong in any area...
On the other side, Lin Dong’s soul traversed the boundary between reality and illusion, subtly stepping into the bizarre space hidden by the ancient mural.
This space seemed to exist apart from the world, and was filled with an ancient and profound aura, with stellar particles softly floating, weaving a tapestry of odd scenes.
Lin Dong’s spirit trembled, his eyes suddenly brightened, as a complex array slowly emerged, like the most exquisite strokes in the universe, outlined in this vast void.
This array was the one inside the inner hall.
It was the entity he spent three days and nights on but couldn’t glimpse its profundity.
At this moment, it presented itself in an unprecedentedly clear manner before Lin Dong.
Every stroke, every line contained supreme power of laws.
This array was named the "Heavenly Star Formation."
The name implies that the array can evolve celestial paths and connect the truth of heaven and earth, which is a rare advanced array in the realm of formations.
The level reached level-eight, but after the passage of time, the inner hall’s array had regressed to level 7 peak.
But even so, in this Age of Dharma End, few could break it.
Upon seeing its existence, a surge of indescribable excitement welled up in Lin Dong’s heart.
He muttered to himself, his voice light yet filled with joy:
"So the method to decipher the Heavenly Star Formation is indeed hidden within the secret realm unveiled by this mural. What a stroke of fortune."
With a thought, Lin Dong’s soul gradually immersed in this space, starting to deeply comprehend the mysteries of the Heavenly Star Formation.
Within the space, streams of information flowed like trickling streams, merging into his sea of consciousness.
This was detailed knowledge of the formation, from basic array pattern combinations to profound layout techniques, and how to utilize star force to trigger the array’s maximum power, all displayed in an extraordinary manner.
What delighted Lin Dong further was that not only the complete construction principles of the array were inside this space, but also its deciphering methods.
It was a solution beyond conventional thinking, requiring martial artists to possess profound cultivation in array skills, a deep understanding of stellar motion, and powerful mental power.
And he perfectly met all these criteria.
Following the guidance, Lin Dong delved deeper, at times furrowing his brow in thought, at others becoming suddenly enlightened.
His soul seemed to establish a subtle resonance with this space, deepening his understanding of the Heavenly Star Formation.
Throughout this extensive learning process, Lin Dong’s soul experienced unprecedented transformation.
His understanding of formations had exceeded what it once was, and he even started to simulate and deduce in his mind, seeking the key to breaking the array.
Every attempt challenged the limits of his mind and will.
But Lin Dong’s heart was filled with unprecedented determination and anticipation, because he knew once he successfully deciphered this Heavenly Star Formation, not only could he unlock the array barrier inside the inner hall and venture deeper into the Ancient General Tomb.
But his skill in formations would undergo qualitative advancement.
"Once I’ve grasped this array fully, I can leap to level-four arrays, arrange level-four arrays, and in the future, the probability of deciphering level-seven arrays will also be very high..."
This array involves such comprehensive and complex things.
Learning it would make other minor arrays seem incredibly simple for Lin Dong...
