Chapter 120: The Formation Works

  "Take good care of yourselves and wait for me to return another day, I will definitely take you all with me then!"

  Escaping into the air, looking down at the crowd that was almost instinctively kneeling on the ground, the sound of mournful cries still faintly echoed in his ears, making him feel unbearable. Qin Xiao asked calmly, "Is everything arranged?"

  "Yes, at least I can ensure your children a life without worries!"

  Looking at Rong Hongtian, who was also in a gloomy mood, Zuo Xiaoyao's emotions were complex. She endured and endured, but finally couldn't help but say: "This time we leave, our future is uncertain, but they are all still young! If we can really return to the modern era, in that long-declined cultivation world, how far can we go? You... have you really thought it through?"

  "Yes, our Lu family has been passed down for thousands of years. I am the hope of this generation. Even if there is only a thread of chance, I must go back. It's my duty, and I have to take responsibility!"

  His eyes remained fixed on the lower part, and his spiritual consciousness was still focused on the faces of his three children. Lu Hongtian's tone was firm as he replied.

  "Since it's like this, let's go!"

  Zhuge Jingyu finished speaking and first fled to the upper air. After all, even if he delayed for a long time, he couldn't solve this problem. Lu Hongtian also couldn't escape the pain of abandoning his wife and child in the end.

  Returning to the spiritual jade core, he sensed the dense spiritual energy around him. Looking at that huge spiritual jade core, Lu Hongtian couldn't help but feel a burning desire in his eyes when he saw it for the first time. Fortunately, he had already known that he could see and touch it, but not take it away. Now, wanting to get it again was useless without resolving the strange power under the ground. Thus, his excited mood quickly subsided.

  The combined strength of the four was significantly stronger than that of three, and when using magic treasures to break through levels, they could also exert a much greater force. However, the result always fell short of expectations, as that strange power's self-repair speed was extremely fast. Even if they managed to break open an entrance at the very top, before the four of them could even catch their breath, it had already restored itself to its original state, leaving everyone feeling utterly disheartened.

  History repeats itself, and the four of them sat on the ground in exhaustion. Zuo Xiao Yao took out the Forbidden Cone again, and Zhuge Jiyu waved his hand and said, "Xiao Yao, let's just forget it this time. My and Qin brother's magic treasures are both powerful attacking types, and although we can barely crack it open each time, it's still not enough. Your Broken Sky Stab has an even smaller force, so the effect must be limited. Let's see what Luo brother has to say instead. He is more skilled in array formations than Qin brother, and using arrays to break the seal should yield a greater harvest!"

  "Yes, let's hurry up and recover our spiritual power. Next time I'll try it out. This place is likely to be a spiritual spring accompanied by a spiritual jade mine. I knew about it early on, but at that time I was already somewhat disheartened and had a large amount of spiritual jade on me, so I didn't pay attention to it and didn't think about mining it. Who would have thought that there was such a strange place below? If I had discovered it earlier, it would have been one of my thoughts, and I probably wouldn't have... later on..."

  Don't be so disheartened and desperate as to fall into depravity and harm both yourself and others!

  Although Hongtian did not finish speaking, the other three people in their hearts were naturally transparent and it was not difficult to understand his unspoken meaning. Unfortunately, it is hard to buy early knowledge, each person has their own destiny, wanting to go further on the path of cultivating immortality requires not only being cautious everywhere but also enduring loneliness and solitude. If one's mental quality is not up to par, after passing through their own tribulations, the final outcome will naturally be a dismal retreat.

  I don't want to discuss this issue anymore, Zuo Xiao Yao smiled and put away the Broken Sky Halberd, saying "Alright, it's up to Brother Luo next time. If that doesn't work, I'll try using my Broken Sky Stab again."

  After finishing, Zuo Xiao Yao closed her eyes and began to meditate, concealing her true cultivation. Since she hadn't exerted herself fully, the actual time spent meditating to recover her spiritual energy was much shorter. However, not wanting to reveal this to others, her outward appearance seemed similar to Qin Xiao's group. The extra time was used to observe her surroundings and indulge in random thoughts.

  For the two choices before and after Luo Hongtian, although Zuo Xiaoyao did not have the opportunity to express her own views, she had privately analyzed and judged, instructing herself that it was necessary to take them as a warning in the future. When facing the abyss, she fell into despair, treating love affairs casually, and when faced with conflicts between career and family, she showed decisiveness. These were all things that she had never imagined would happen to Luo Hongtian during their limited time together.

  Everyone has a heart that loves beauty, and people's hearts are inherently good. Except for her grandmother, Zuo Xiao Yao had never truly let her guard down for anyone since she was young, even if on the surface she could get along with friends who shared similar personalities and were very close and friendly. However, the subtle distance that seeped out from deep within her bones always existed. Having been treated so coldly and unemotionally by her own blood relatives had never affected her expectations and yearning for good human nature.

  Hong Tian was once a true friend who had been placed in her heart, and this time, after reuniting in another realm, regarding his actions, Zuo Xiao Yao said she wasn't disappointed, that's false. As a friend, if it's said that she could forgive him for being unfaithful to emotions at the most desperate times, even marrying five women, then his final decision this time left her speechless, and she could only tell herself, people have different aspirations!

  As an abandoned child, she had suffered what kind of hardship, so she could understand the pain that those few babies who were abandoned would suffer in the future. Even if Ru Hongtian said he had arranged for their future material needs and ensured they would have no worries for life, a life without a father was destined to be unfortunate, which cannot be compensated by abundant material conditions. And all of this, people who have not experienced it personally can never truly understand.

  Now that it's come to this, thinking more about it won't make a difference. After letting out a long sigh, Zuo Xiao Yao was the first to end her meditation. The world is unpredictable, and now she has a deep understanding of this. No matter what she thinks in her heart, she knows that some things have disappeared, and some experiences have been etched in her memory.

  In the modern Xianxia world, the Luo family's carefully cultivated successor has made a move, and their mastery of the formation path is not ordinary. Not to mention how they compare to Zuo Xiaoyao, who is actually an idiot when it comes to formations, but with just eighteen flags, they were able to completely set up their position in the blink of an eye, with extremely skilled hand movements. Just from this one attacking formation, the aura that emanates from it is clearly stronger than the two attacking formations that Qin Xiao had previously tried to set up.

  The Way of Array for cultivators is a very important skill, but most people only know a little about it and can only set up or control the finished product arrays by themselves. To become a technical talent who can truly refine the array and master the art of array restriction, one needs extraordinary talent.

  After being trapped in the natural maze formed by the stalactite forest last time, Zuo XiaoYao had been eager to study the way of the law array, but she didn't have the opportunity and wasn't sure if she had any talent for it. Now, seeing this set of law arrays achieve such a remarkable feat, successfully tearing open an unknown deep underground strange power to accommodate a large mouth, her enthusiasm for the law array was immediately rekindled.

  But as for now, Zuo Xiao Yao doesn't have the slightest intention of asking Luo Hong Tian for guidance, perhaps it would have been different if it were in the past!

  Seeing the law array take effect, all four of them had a joyful expression on their faces. However, when they really thought about jumping in from that entrance, they couldn't help but hesitate. The future was uncertain, and what exactly lay beneath this seemingly bottomless pit-like entrance?

  All four of them were very curious!
