Chapter 4781 The Eight Trigrams Sect
Liu Wuxie did not rush in. The information provided by the Ancestral Tree was right here. Why didn't he see his wife and Pu Yu?
"Brother, what's going on here? Why are you all standing guard outside? Shouldn't you be going deeper into the sect to search for treasures?"
Liu Wuxie compressed his cultivation level to the first level of Earth Saint, and because he was wearing a mask, he gave people a mysterious and unpredictable feeling.
It stands to reason!
The appearance of an ancient sect in the Jinghong Domain, even if it is in ruins, will surely leave behind some treasures, which will inevitably cause countless people to scramble for them.
Strangely, thousands of cultivators were gathered around the dilapidated sect, yet they hesitated to venture deeper inside, which was truly eerie.
"Brother, you must be new here!"
Upon seeing that the other party was a Saint-level cultivator, the man immediately showed a respectful expression.
Please tell me, brother!
Liu Wuxie nodded; he had indeed only been there a short time.
"You don't know this, but many cultivators have rashly entered this sect before and have not been heard from since. We only learned later that this sect looks very dilapidated, but in fact, there is a mysterious array hidden inside. Once you step into the array, you can forget about coming out alive. Those cultivators who went in before are like stones sinking into the sea. Five days have passed and there is still no news."
The man did not hide anything and told him everything he knew.
Liu Wuxie frowned slightly. He was certain that his wife and Pu Yu were trapped in the formation. No wonder the information provided by the Ancestral Tree indicated that they were standing still.
"Is there no one who can break this formation? Judging from the architectural style of this sect, it must have been a large sect before. They probably left in a hurry. You can still see traces of treasures left in many of the buildings."
Liu Wuxie continued to ask.
There are countless powerful individuals in the Heavenly Domain who understand formations, especially since there are many top-tier Extreme Dao Earth Saints and ancient relics present. They should recognize the origin of this sect and be plotting something.
Liu Wuxie unleashed his divine sense, which immediately covered an area of several hundred miles.
He hoped his divine sense could enter the formation and search for his wife's whereabouts.
Strangely, when his divine sense arrived above the sect, it was instantly absorbed by a powerful energy, unable to penetrate even a fraction of it.
Liu Wuxie tried several more times, but each time his consciousness disappeared for no reason.
"What a bizarre formation! It can actually absorb divine consciousness!"
Liu Wuxie said secretly.
Left with no other choice, he withdrew his divine sense and surveyed the surroundings. His gaze quickly fell on the few Supreme Earth Saints, who seemed to be talking about something.
"Jia Yu, are you sure this is the Bagua Sect?"
There were seven top-tier Earth Saints in total. Liu Wuxie didn't recognize them; they must have only recently emerged from seclusion.
The other several Extreme Earth Saints looked at an old man around fifty years old. This man had a powerful aura and one foot had already stepped into the Profound Saint realm. He was only one step away from becoming a true Profound Saint.
“Look closely at the buildings around you. Although some buildings have collapsed, their foundations are still intact. They were clearly built according to the Bagua (Eight Trigrams) direction. Before the Ancient God Realm split apart, my family was affiliated with the Bagua Sect, so we are very familiar with some things about the Bagua Sect.”
Jia Yu looked towards the sect in the distance, pointed to the collapsed buildings, and said that when connected with several of the main halls, they formed a Bagua (Eight Trigrams) pattern.
Liu Wuxie heard their conversation clearly. Just as Jia Yu had said, the entire sect was indeed built according to the Bagua (Eight Trigrams) orientation.
"Now that you know this is the Bagua Sect, do you know the method to break the formation?"
The other several Extreme Dao Earth Saints looked at Jia Yu with excitement.
As long as they can come and go freely, the remaining treasures in the sect will be theirs.
Besides those incomplete treasures, they also discovered a broken sacred vein deep within the Eight Trigrams Sect, containing extremely strong ancient divine domain rules. If they could absorb and refine it, they might be able to break through to the early stage of the Profound Saint realm, or even the advanced Profound Saint realm.
They had lowered their voices and set up barriers around them, but they still couldn't stop Liu Wuxie from investigating. Liu Wuxie could hear their conversation clearly.
Upon learning that there was a broken sacred vein deep within the Eight Trigrams Sect, a look of surprise immediately appeared in his eyes.
Although he is currently at the ninth level of Earth Saint, his physical body and soul have already surpassed the Extreme Earth Saint level and reached the Profound Saint level. Ordinary treasures simply cannot help him break through to the Extreme Earth Saint level.
If he had a sacred vein left over from the ancient divine realm, it would be enough to help him break through to the extreme earthly sacred realm.
Even without the remnants of the ancient divine realm, he would still venture deep into it. According to the information relayed back from the ancestral tree, his wife and Pu Yu were deep within the sect.
The others, upon hearing the news of the broken pulse, also showed expressions of joy and excitement, unable to hide their excitement, wishing they could storm into the Eight Trigrams Sect right now.
"Entering the Bagua Sect is easy, but getting out is not so easy, unless you find a way to break the formation."
The group quickly calmed down. Although they were half-step Profound Saints, the Eight Trigrams Sect was an ancient divine domain sect, and the great formation left behind was enough to trap and kill even Ancestral Saint level experts.
After countless years, the great formation was severely damaged and could not be resisted by even the most powerful Earth Saints.
“I heard an elder of my family mention that the Bagua Sect’s Great Formation also has certain flaws.”
Jia Yu took a deep breath and looked at the other six people. He had known these six people for many years. When the Heavenly Domain first split, they had traveled the world together and even had the idea of establishing a sect. However, due to the limited resources of the Heavenly Domain, they had to give up and chose to go into seclusion.
"Tell me quickly, what's the defect!"
Upon hearing that the Eight Trigrams Sect's grand formation still had flaws, the six people quickly asked questions.
"By filling the eye of the Bagua Formation with eight living beings, we can stop the formation from operating for a short time. With our cultivation level, we can definitely break free from the formation's control in a very short time."
After Jia Yu finished speaking, a sinister look appeared in his eyes.
Using eight living people to fill the core of the formation is an evil practice.
Liu Wuxie frowned. There are countless formations in the world, and some can indeed be weakened by sacrificing living people, but such a practice is too evil.
"There are only eight living people. I'll grab a few right now."
The others didn't care at all when they heard this. In their eyes, the cultivators around them were not even as good as pigs and dogs, so killing them was no big deal.
"This matter requires careful consideration. We currently only have seven people, and we need to invite one more to complete the Eight Trigrams Technique. This way, when the formation is activated, eight living people can be sent into the formation at the same time. Only in this way can we weaken the power of the formation."
Jia Yu's delay in taking action was due to the fact that he was still missing one person, and this person had to be of one mind with them in order to activate the Eight Trigrams Formation at the same time.
Besides being of one mind with them, their cultivation levels must also be comparable. If the difference in cultivation levels is too great, it is inevitable that there will be situations where people kill each other to steal treasures.
While they were discussing this, a steady stream of cultivators continued to arrive from all around, including some extremely powerful Earth Saints.
"Zhu Rong, I never expected to run into you here."
The arriving Earth Saint glanced at the crowd and quickly spotted the seven Earth Saints plotting among themselves, one of whom he recognized.
"Tang Kun, it's you!"
The cultivator named Zhu Rong quickly raised his head and looked at the man walking over from a distance. It was none other than Tang Kun, the Supreme Earth Saint Ancestor of the Tang family.
The moment Liu Wuxie saw Tang Kun, his eyes narrowed. He had met this man once before at the Brilliant Auction House, and he was definitely a ruthless and vicious person.
Zhu Rong quickly led Tang Kun to introduce him to the others, and they soon became acquainted.
After some discussion, the eight people quickly reached an agreement. To prevent anyone from sabotaging them, all eight swore an oath with their souls before entering the sect. They agreed to divide the treasures they obtained after entering the sect equally, not to cause any trouble behind their backs, and to proceed according to the plan.
Although they have known each other for many years, it is hard to guarantee that former friends will not stab each other in the back when faced with huge interests.
This is the cultivation world, where the strong prey on the weak. It is not uncommon for brothers to turn against each other and fathers and sons to become enemies over treasures.
Liu Wuxie hadn't expected them to be so meticulous. With the Heavenly Dao oath binding them, they didn't need to worry about others plotting against them behind their backs, so they could search for treasures with peace of mind.
"For safety's sake, the eight creatures we select should ideally be at the Earthly Saint Realm to avoid causing unnecessary panic. It's best to promise them benefits so they'll willingly come in with us. If we forcibly capture them, they might choose to commit suicide after entering, which could easily ruin our plans."
To make the plan even more foolproof, Jia Yu said to the others.
"Leave this to us!"
Zhu Rong and Tang Kun immediately went out and decided to invite some Earth Saint Realm experts to go with them.
The fate of the cultivators who went in before is still unknown, so in order to ensure that fresh lives fill the array's core, Jia Yu can only bring people in from the outside to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
If all the cultivators who went in before died inside, wouldn't there be no living people to fill the array's core if they rashly rushed in?
Their plan was unknown to others, but Liu Wuxie knew it perfectly well and immediately walked towards Zhu Rong.
Zhu Rong has already invited some Earth Saint Realm cultivators to go together, but not many people have responded.
Those who can cultivate to the Earth Saint Realm are all outstanding individuals. For an Extreme Earth Saint to suddenly invite them to explore for treasures, there must be some unspeakable secret behind it. Anyone who isn't a fool can guess a thing or two.
Whether in terms of cultivation or methods, Earth Saints are inferior to Extreme Earth Saints. Going in with them would just be pointless cannon fodder.
Zhu Rong asked around for a long time, but not many people agreed. It wouldn't be easy to gather eight people unless they used force.
Liu Wuxie quickly found a secluded spot and released the Iron Tree Yin Spirit, whose appearance was the most human-like.
Suppressing his cultivation level to the first level of Earth Saint, Liu Wuxie injected a wisp of ordinary human aura into his body. From the outside, he was no different from an ordinary person, and even a top-level Earth Saint could not detect anything amiss.
"Senior, this junior is willing to go along!"
The Iron Tree Yin Spirit, controlled by Liu Wuxie, immediately volunteered and spoke respectfully to Zhu Rong.
Upon hearing that someone was willing to join them in entering the Bagua Sect, Zhu Rong immediately showed curiosity.
"What's your name, and why did you decide to come with us?"
Zhu Rong scrutinized the Iron Tree Yin Spirit before him, examining him several times with his divine sense, yet he found himself unable to see through this man.
Liu Wuxie controlled the Iron Tree Yin Spirit at the Earth Saint level, and no matter how he checked, he couldn't find any flaws.
"I am Tieshu, a junior, and I know it will be difficult for me to advance any further, so I have decided to go in and try my luck. I hope you will grant my request."
After Tian Gui finished speaking, he bowed to Zhu Rong again, pleading for a chance.
