Chapter 119: Breaking the Formation
Two months later, the Bodhi True Body Array was still there, and the Buddhist monks had not broken it open. Jiang Feng and Huang Shu were still inside the Bodhi True Body Array. Compared to Huang Shu, Jiang Feng had a larger space to move around in, and he was also much more bored than Huang Shu.
At this time, Jiang Feng was sitting on the ground, and he was staring blankly at the darkness due to boredom. Lan Wu was beside Jiang Feng, and in front of Lan Wu, a Rubik's Cube was floating in the air. This Rubik's Cube was made by Jiang Feng using leftover materials from his previous equipment refinement during his recent boring days. Now it just so happened that he could use it to pass the time with Lan Wu.
The Rubik's Cube is finely crafted, with small squares on the surface that are carved with patterns. At this time, the Rubik's Cube is rapidly rotating, and it seems that Lan Wu wants to restore it. However, every time she gets close, there is always one square that cannot be restored.
"Is there something wrong with this thing? Otherwise, why can't you always get it to fit?" Lan Wu said while looking at the Rubik's Cube that was still one grid away from being solved.
"There's nothing wrong at all, it's just that you can't make the connection yourself. Think carefully again, and don't use your magical powers to think, okay?" Jiang Feng said.
Lan Wu stared at the Rubik's Cube for a while, and with normal human thinking speed, Lan Wu really couldn't think of a solution. She said: "It's impossible, there must be a problem. If you say it's definitely not a problem, then try to solve it for me."
Jiang Feng slowly turned his head, made a ghost face, and then sucked the Rubik's Cube over. After Jiang Feng scrambled the cube, he twisted it while saying: "First, you need to understand what are edge pieces, corner pieces, and center pieces, and the movement rules of each piece. Then, choose one side as the base, and make a cross on the bottom face... The second step is to restore the corners of the bottom face... The third step is to restore the middle layer... Then, make another cross on the top face... And that's it."
The small Rubik's Cube was quickly restored to its original state in Jiang Feng's hands. Lan Wu looked at it with a dazed expression. Jiang Feng, on the other hand, had an innocent and playful look on his face. Lan Wu took over the cube and started fiddling with it himself, while Jiang Feng continued to daydream.
Not long after, a sudden gust of wind appeared around. Lan Wu, who was fiddling with the Rubik's Cube, quickly stood up and then disappeared. Jiang Feng also stopped daydreaming.
A few minutes later, Jiang Feng heard footsteps. When he looked in the direction of the sound, he soon saw Huang Shu Nu.
"Are you free to move around now?" Jiang Feng asked with a hint of surprise.
"It was just fine a moment ago, I don't know why either. Could it be that the formation here has lost its effect?" said Huang Shufei as she walked over, her eyes fixed on someone not far from Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng knew it was impossible that the formation had failed. He slowly turned his head, looking at the person just a few meters away. The person also stood up slowly as Jiang Feng looked over. When Jiang Feng looked over, the person sitting there also lifted their head at this time.
"We're in trouble, you'd better be careful." Jiang Feng said quietly to Huang Shufang.
"Is he the one who caught you? He looks kind of strange." Huang Shu also whispered to Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng didn't speak to Huang Shu again, but instead smiled and said to that person: "Senior, do you have any instructions? If so, please feel free to say it, no need to be polite."
"Break through." The seated person said.
"Alright, alright, senior, don't worry, I won't cause any trouble, you break your formation." Jiang Feng said with a smile. Then he pulled Huang Shu girl back. In his heart, he was also thinking that the person said to break the formation, not to withdraw the formation, could it be that this formation wasn't set up by him?
The person sitting raised their hand and pointed, and Huang Shu Nu floated over uncontrollably. When she got close, the person touched a spot on Huang Shu Nu's body, and she sat down beside them.
"He said you broke through the array." The man said.
Jiang Feng's expression froze, and after a while, he said with an incredulous face: "You're not kidding, right? Let me break the formation, isn't that a bit too far-fetched. I think you should do it instead. I'll just cheer you on from the side."
With a thumbs-up gesture, Jiang Feng also paid attention to the person's expression. Seeing that the person was serious, Jiang Feng's face also started to look bad.
After more than a minute, Jiang Feng took two steps forward, slightly bowing his waist, and shouted at the person: "Are you kidding me? Letting a cultivator as weak as me break this formation that even traps you. Are you intentionally messing with me?"
"This formation is called the Bodhi True Body Great Formation, personally arranged by the Buddha himself. When blocking outsiders from approaching, it also seals to death those inside. If you want to leave, then break the formation; otherwise, stay here forever." The person said.
If he could beat that person, Jiang Feng would definitely go up and give him a good scolding. But now Jiang Feng can only put on a smiling face and say: "Since it's you who arranged this, then please withdraw it. Why bother me?"
"This Buddha can't do it, here only you can." The man said.
Jiang Feng stopped immediately, shouting: "The formation you set up, you can't even break it yourself, yet you want me to break the formation. Am I stupid enough to believe whatever you say?"
"You can do it. Break through." The man said.
"I've never seen anyone like you." Jiang Feng was so angry that he spun around in circles. After spinning for a few rounds, Jiang Feng pointed at the man and said: "Don't think that just because you're holding someone hostage, I'll stupidly listen to your orders. Let me tell you, no way."
"You won't break, I'll just wait for you then. Anyway, it's been so many years already, I'm not in a hurry." the man said.
Jiang Feng was extremely speechless, he couldn't believe that he had the ability to break through this formation. Nor did he want to take risks to try. He would rather choose to wait, waiting for that person to recover to the point where they could withdraw the formation on their own.
Jiang Feng was seen sitting on the ground, panting heavily. He neither spoke nor broke his stance. The person then said: "You can't outlast me, let you break your stance, it's not that I'm in a hurry to leave, but rather to make you leave. If you don't break your stance and stay here, it won't do you any good."
"You'd better believe it." Jiang Feng muttered to himself, not looking at the person, and just stood there motionless.
In this way, that person also stopped speaking and his head slightly lowered. Huang Shu was right next to him, unable to move at all, completely just a decoration.
After half an hour of silence, Jiang Feng suddenly felt that the spiritual power in his body was rapidly draining away. He realized that something was wrong and looked towards that person. He found that Huang Shu's face didn't look good either.
"The true body of the Bodhi is a great array, with this Buddha as its foundation. This Buddha is recovering, and the array method is also recovering. In this array method, except for this Buddha, everything else is an enemy. Now that this Buddha has no power to control the array method, the array method is operating on its own, trying to erase you all. If you don't want to die, take advantage of the fact that the array method has just started recovering and break out of it."
Jiang Feng suddenly stood up, jumped in front of that person and loudly shouted: "Two months have passed, it's been two months. How come you're only saying this now? Are you doing this on purpose?"
"This Buddha simply didn't think that the formation would recover so quickly. Whether or not to break the formation, you can decide for yourself." That person said.
Jiang Feng stared at the person, thinking seriously. He didn't know if what that person said was true or not. But he could really feel it, his spiritual power was leaking away, and there was a force from outside trying to erode his body. This force was getting stronger and stronger, and it was really possible that in no time, Jiang Feng would be completely killed off.
After thinking for a few minutes, Jiang Feng finally said to that person: "After breaking out of the formation, what do you plan to do with us?"
"You go wherever you want, this Buddha won't stop you. And this Buddha promises to owe you a favor." the man said.
Jiang Feng thought for a moment and then said: "Alright, I'll break through. Tell me where the array eye is."
"This is the foundation of the entire formation. Can you move me? Just find a place to attack and force your way out." The man said.
Jiang Feng's teeth itched with rage, but he really didn't want to say anything more to that person. He also didn't want to delay any further. Whether or not he could break through the formation, he had to try. Even if he broke through the formation, he would still be harmed by that person, Jiang Feng had to try and break through.
"Heavenly Punishment Returns to Origin Sword Formation, appear."
As Jiang Feng's voice rose, thirty-six flying swords made of Huangquan Xuanjin appeared beside him. These flying swords quickly transformed into the size of normal long swords. They were also rotating with Jiang Feng's spiritual power.
Suddenly, a loud noise came from inside the seated Buddha. As the sound rang out, the seated Buddha began to tremble. Then, from under the seated Buddha, a burst of evil energy was emitted. These evil energies formed into black long swords outside the seated Buddha and started attacking it.
The deafening sound grew louder and more frequent. The Buddha's tremors were becoming increasingly intense. Hundreds of long swords formed by the evil energy had been attacking the Buddha non-stop. Thousands of meters away, all the cultivators were startled.
"The yin evil energy, it still contains sharp gold energy inside. Could it be that the Jiang Feng in the formation is using Huang Quan Sharp Gold to attack the formation?" A high-ranking monk from the Wan Fo Temple said.
"Attacking the formation? Is Jiang Feng trying to break out of the formation? This seems unlikely."
"It's indeed impossible. With such an attack, the formation can't be broken at all. But Jiang Feng has a great advantage inside the formation, and breaking the formation would be much easier for him than for us." Another Buddhist monk said.
The flying sword forged from Huangquan Ruijin, after being nourished by Guijian Shaqi's energy, the Shaqi contained within it has become much more intense, and its power has increased greatly. At this point, using these flying swords to form the Tiangang Return to Origin Sword Array, the attacking power is already comparable to that of a Golden Elixir initial-stage cultivator. However, such an attack is still not enough for the Bodhi True Body Great Array.
"Forming the Tianjie Return to Origin Sword Array with flying swords containing evil energy, its power is much weaker. Even if I add the Ghost Sword to it, it's impossible to bring out the sword array's strongest power. But I don't have a flying sword that's most suitable for this sword array, what should I do?" Jiang Feng thought while urging the sword array to attack.
The seated Buddha's left hand suddenly flipped over, palm facing downwards. After the flip, the long sword formed by the killing aura around the seated Buddha collapsed. The loud rumbling sound inside the seated Buddha also disappeared.
Everything suddenly calmed down, and the monks thousands of meters away thought that the Array had failed. However, in less than a minute, the Buddha's body shook again. This time it was even more intense. The Buddha's left hand also pressed down, and even the right hand standing upright on his chest began to slowly move towards the top of his head.
"The Earth Spirit's Chaotic Heaven Sword Array, break for me." A voice rose from within the Sitting Buddha, that of Jiang Feng.
