Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The 10,000 Elephants Illusory Formation was located in a vast mountain valley. Anyone could challenge the Formation by entering it.
The crowd who had followed Duan Ling Tian here were dumbfounded when they realized Duan Ling Tian had no intention of entering the Formation. Instead, the woman by his side, Huan’er, was the one who entered the 10,000 Elephants Illusory Formation.
“Duan Ling Tian isn’t going in?”
“Look! The person who’s ranked first in the 10,000 Elephants Illusory Formation is Hou Zi Long!”
The 10,000 Elephants Illusory Formation Ranking could be seen outside of the Formation, looking as translucent as a cloud of mist.
“Su Li is only ranked sixth.”
“Yu Tian Xing is ranked eighth.”
“Look! Feng Qi Qi is ranked fourth!”
Duan Ling Tian who was looking at the ranking had also seen a few familiar names. Even someone as powerful as Su Li was only ranked sixth. Moreover, the gap between Su Li and Hou Zi Long who was ranked first was rather wide.
‘Hou Zi Long spent seven days, five hours and 15 minutes to leave the 10,000 Elephants Illusory Formation whereas Su Li took a full sixteen days to escape.’
Although Hou Zi Long was among the top ten in the Peak of Gravity Ranking and the Formation Spirit Pagoda Ranking, he was ranked at the bottom of the top ten. Based on this, it was clear he was significantly weaker than Su Li. Nevertheless, he managed to rank first in the 10,000 Elephants Illusory Formation. This meant he was adept at breaking Illusory Formations or he was immune to them like Huan’er.
“What’s the record for the 10,000 Elephants Illusory Formation?” Duan Ling Tian asked the man who led him here.
Both the Profound Cat Clan and the Phantom Fox Clan had an affinity with Illusory Formations; the Profound Cat Clan specialized in breaking Illusory Formations while the Phantom Fox Clan specialized in setting up Illusory Formations. The two clans could be considered natural enemies and had many conflicts in the Jade Emperor Heaven.
“Three days and one hour,” the man hurriedly answered Duan Ling Tian.
“Three days and one hour?” The corners of Duan Ling Tian’s lips twitched. Was that not half the time of Hou Zi Long who was currently ranked first?
‘I wonder if Huan’er would be able to break the record…’ Initially, Duan Ling Tian was confident that Huan’re would be able to break the record. However, after learning about the difference in time between Hou Zi Long and the prodigy from the Profound Cat Clan from 10,000 years ago, he did not feel as certain as he did before.
Time passed silently.
After almost three hours had passed, the crowd finally could not hold back their curiosity.
Someone asked, “Duan Ling Tian, aren’t you going in?”
“Me?” Duan Ling Tian was briefly taken aback by the question. Then, he shook his head and said, “I don’t plan to enter the Formation…”
Everyone was dumbfounded by Duan Ling Tian’s answer. They had come here to watch Duan Ling Tian challenge the 10,000 Elephants Illusory Formation. Since he had no intention of entering the Formation, what were they doing here?
“As it turns out, he has no plans of entering the 10,000 Elephants Illusory Formation…” a middle-aged man said as he shook his head, preparing to leave.
“I was waiting for him to challenge the Formation. Who knew he had no plan of entering the 10,000 Elephants Illusory Formation at all? There’s no point in me staying here if he doesn’t plan to go in.”
“Let’s go!”
Just as the crowd was about to disperse, a figure suddenly appeared out of thin air. With this, it was as though everyone’s legs had been frozen to the ground.
The person who had appeared was none other than Huan’er.
“Huan’er?” Duan Ling Tian was also taken aback by Huan’er’s sudden appearance. It had only been a little more than three hours since she had entered the 10,000 Elephants Illusory Formation.
“One can only exit the 10,000 Elephants Illusory Formation if they can see through it. Otherwise, they’d have to wait in there for at least a month.”
“She came out in three hours… She only needed three hours to leave the 10,000 Elephants Illusory Formation?”
“Three hours… Is that possible?”
“Three hours? Even the Profound Cat Clan prodigy from 10,000 years ago took three days to leave the Formation, but she came out in three hours?”
“Did she really enter the Formation?”
Everyone was thoroughly shocked that Huan’er left the 10,000 Elephants Illusory Formation in three hours. No one thought about leaving at this moment. Even those who were a distance away turned around and returned to the valley.
“If you want to know if she really entered the Formation, just check the ranking. If she broke the record, her name would certainly appear in the ranking.”
With this, everyone, including Duan Ling Tian, turned to look at the 10,000 Elephants Illusory Formation Ranking.
Huan’er, three hours.
Huan’er had now replaced Hou Zi Long and was ranked first in the 10,000 Elephants Illusory Formation Ranking!
Everyone was dumbstruck when they saw the time it took Huan’er to escape from the 10,000 Elephants Illusory Formation. Even those who were not present on the scene were dumbstruck when they heard about this matter.
At this moment, there was quite a huge crowd gathered outside of the 10,000 Elephants Illusory Formation. Some people had rushed here after receiving news that Duan Ling Tian would be challenging the 10,000 Illusory Formation. Most of them thought they would see Duan Ling Tian challenging the Formation. Who knew Huan’er, the woman by Duan Ling Tian’s side, would challenge the Formation instead? Most importantly, she set a new record with only three hours!
“Even that prodigy from the Profound Cat Clan from 10,000 years ago needed three days to escape from the Formation, and yet, Huan’er only took three hours? Isn’t the gap too wide?”
“This is really heaven-defying!”
“Who else can break such a record?”
“For 10,000 years, no one could break the three-day record set by the prodigy from the Profound Cat Clan… How long will it be before someone beat this three-day record? 1,000,000 years?”
“How terrifying!”
Huan’er’s achievement shocked everyone, including the young prodigies from the grade-one forces. Duan Ling Tian was already monstrously talented. Who knew the woman by his side was a monstrous talent as well?
“How did she do it ?” Many people were still in disbelief. Some even wondered if they were dreaming. After all, it was unimaginable that someone was able to escape from the 10,000 Elephants Illusory Formation in three hours! This was even more shocking than when Duan Ling Tian broke the records set by Yu Jian Cheng at the Peak of Gravity and the Formation Spirit Pagoda 20,000 years ago.
It was not that shocking that Huan’er had broken the record that was set 10,000 years ago. The shocking thing was the time it took her to leave the 10,000 Elephants Illusory Formation. The previous record could not compare to the Huan’er’s record at all!
Duan Ling Tian had merely surpassed Yu Jian Cheng by a few breaths in the Formation Spirit Pagoda and surpassed Yu Jian Cheng by 100 steps at the Peak of Gravity. As impressive as Duan Ling Tian’s achievements were, how could one compare the difference between three days and three hours?
“I didn’t think I’d be alive to see three records being broken in the Genius Secret Realm! Something like that has only happened three times over a few hundred thousand years in the Genius Secret Realm, right?”
“That’s right.”
“Hey, I remember there’s a rumor about the opening of God’s Secret Treasure in the Genius Secret Realm if three records are broken…”
“God’s Secret Treasure? Isn’t that just a myth?”
“God’s Secret Treasure is said to be a passage that led to a place that was once part of a Realm of Gods, right?”
“I think so.”
“Rumor has it that it was first discovered by a powerhouse from the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect. That person then joined forces with the Ancient Phoenix Clan and the Baili Clan to open up a passage that leads to that place.”
Now that Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er had broken three records, many people began to recall the legend of the God’s Secret Treasure in the Genius Secret Realm. However, most of them thought it was just a myth.
…
Outside of another 10,000 Elephants Illusory Formation.
Yu Tian Xing who was standing next to He Zhan looked at the ranking intently as he said, “Three records are already broken… The God’s Secret Treasure should open soon. I didn’t expect I’d be able to see this day.”
“Senior Brother Tian Xing, it seems like we’ll be able to enter God’s Secret Treasure! I heard it’s a great place to cultivate. Moreover, there’s a chance we’ll be able to find Devata artifacts in there!” He Zhan exclaimed excitedly.
Most people dismissed the God’s Secret Treasure as a myth, but those from the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect knew it really existed. As the rumor said, it really used to be part of a Realm of Gods.
In the past, the powerhouses from the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect, the Ancient Phoenix Clan, and the Baili Clan had created a Little World around the passage leading to the abandoned Realm of Gods to stabilize the place. The Little World was now known as the Genius Secret Realm. At that time, the abandoned remnant of the Realm of Gods had almost collapsed when the three powerhouses entered it. They later discovered the remnant of the Realm of God could only accommodate those below the stage of a Celestial Emperor. This was the reason only Celestial Lords were allowed to enter the Genius Secret Realm.
The powerhouses from the three strongest grade-one forces in the Nan Dou territory were worried some Celestial Emperors would forcibly enter the Genius Secret Realm so they laid a Formation to prevent people over the age of 1,000 from entering it. With this Formation, they prevented most Celestial Emperors from entering the secret realm. After all, there were very few who managed to become a Celestial Emperor before the age of 1,000.
“The age restriction Formation was created by the Title Temple. Therefore, regardless of how powerful a Celestial Emperor is, they won’t be able to break the Formation.”
“Well, those legendary figures might be able to break the Formation… However, if they enter the Genius Secret Realm, there’s no doubt the secret realm and the remnant of the Realm of Gods would collapse.”
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian learned about the God’s Secret Treasure in the Secret Realm from the conversations in his surroundings.
