Peerless Little Immortal Doctor-Chapter 697 - 699 Room within a Room

Chapter 697: Chapter 699: Room within a Room Chapter 697: Chapter 699: Room within a Room “What! Is this a formation?” Ling Jue was stunned.

The stone wall in front was actually a formation.

He hadn’t noticed at all; Xia Liu was truly terrifying.

How on earth did he know the stone wall was a formation?

“To be exact, there is a formation in front of the door,” Xia Liu said.

…

Ling Jue stopped talking, feeling extremely embarrassed.

...

He was a Heavenly Rank High-Level Warrior, yet he had not noticed it at all.

During his time at the Immeasurable Sect, he often studied Qimen Dunjia.

Yet, in front of a real master, he felt like he had lost all face.

It was much more embarrassing than being surrounded by over seventy women.

Actually, warriors above Earth-Rank Cultivation were very tenacious in life, having long lifespans, some even had a hundred years with perhaps a one-year-old son.

In the cultivation world, this was nothing out of the ordinary.

But having studied Formation Gates for over a dozen years and not even sensing the formation, that was truly embarrassing.

“Brother Xia Liu, how are you so incredible…”

Ling Shiyu and Han Mei, let alone detecting the formation, had never even considered the possibility of danger.

“Heh, Daoist Fellow Xia, how do you break this Life-Death Formation?” Ling Jue recalled the words Xia Liu had said earlier; simple formations, he didn’t understand how simple Xia Liu’s “simple” could be.

“The Life-Death Formation’s simplest breaking method is to collapse the Formation Eye that stands on the Gate of Death.”

“Wait a second! Isn’t the Formation Eye of the Life-Death Formation generally in the Gate of Life?”

Ling Jue was somewhat confused. Formations were generally arranged based on the principle of mutual life and death.

Even if there were some pseudo-Formations mimicking the Gate of Death, their Formation Eye couldn’t possibly be on the Gate of Death.

“Normally it’s impossible, but the authentic Life-Death Formation’s Formation Eye is indeed on the Gate of Death, just like that ancient saying goes, the most dangerous place is often the safest.”

All of the above was just Xia Liu talking nonsense; although he knew some formations, explaining them was too cumbersome.

The reason he could see through the Formation Eye of this Life-Death Formation was all thanks to Divine Sense.

As for the one who set up the formation, clearly a novice, and moreover a martial artist.

If a cultivator had set up the formation, it would not have been so simple for a peer to discern it with Divine Sense.

Ling Jue nodded in confusion; he felt he had realized something, yet also felt he understood nothing.

Next, it was simply a matter of watching Xia Liu’s performance.

Xia Liu slowly closed his eyes, Divine Sense blazing brightly. The familiar Heaven and Earth Formation Diagram appeared in his mind.

After a short while of deduction, Xia Liu opened his eyes and directly looked at a certain position.

The next second, Spiritual Energy lightly lifted, a chill fell!

piu!

A strange sound spread, and light as fierce as thunder shot out from Xia Liu’s fingertip, finally entering a point on the stone wall.

Rumbling…

As the Spiritual Energy entered the stone wall, a clear rumbling sound continuously spread.

In less than a minute, the Life-Death Formation broke!

After a moment of darkness, a stone archway in its original form appeared.

As Divine Sense could not sense the situation inside the door, Xia Liu did not dare to rashly push the door open, only opting to strike the Stone Gate with Spiritual Energy.

Sizzling…

The Stone Gate slowly opened under the push of Spiritual Energy, and a musty smell wafted out.

The light shined brilliantly. Upon entering the door, Xia Liu and the others were stunned by the sight before them.

On the ground were countless bones lying haphazardly.

They were all human bones!

Many swords and blunt weapons were scattered around as well.

Looking at the situation, the people who’d entered here back then must have fought over something.

Observing the surroundings, there were multiple staircases and chests, which must have been plundered repeatedly by groups of strong martial artists back then.

“Ah, there’s nothing left.” Ling Jue sighed repeatedly, having thought that this chamber with the formation setup would contain treasures.

All that was left was a pile of rotten bones, which was quite unlucky to say the least.

“Brother Xia Liu exerted so much effort without any reward, he must be very disappointed…”

Han Mei and Ling Shiyu looked at that somewhat desolate figure and couldn’t help feeling a bit melancholic.

But that’s how opportunities are, they can’t be forced.

Xia Liu certainly understood this principle. However, he stood still because his divine sense had discovered a chamber within a chamber!

The formation at the doorway had been setup by someone, and surely that person wasn’t just idling around in pain.

He wanted to seal this place, enclosing the things he couldn’t take with him.

Perhaps he planned to come back to retrieve them once his cultivation was strong enough.

For some reason he was never able to enter again.

“Haha! What great fortune, although I don’t know what’s there, it must be something good!”

“Daoist Fellow Xia, what do you mean by this?”

“Brother Xia Liu, don’t scare us…”

Ling Jue and Han Mei both reacted with surprise.

Xia Liu is going crazy.

Could it be that he’s mentally collapsed because he didn’t achieve anything despite such a big effort?

“Don’t worry, everyone step back, I’m going to open the inner door!” Xia Liu said with a slight smile, pointing to a certain spot.

“The inner door! Is it behind that stone wall?” Ling Jue held his breath as Xia Liu refreshed his shock threshold once again.

Smooth stone walls, entering the chamber together, standing here in the same spot, how did he know there was a hidden door there?

“Yes,” Xia Liu nodded.

“If that’s the case, then let me try this time,” Ling Jue said resolutely.

His daughter was here, and he had been humiliated earlier.

Now he must regain some face.

“Well, sure, just strike that spot,” Xia Liu thought for a moment and pointed to a certain part of the stone wall.

“Okay! Everyone else step back.” Ling Jue lifted his sleeve, shredded by the exotic rat, and took a horse stance, channeling inner strength through his fists.

Xia Liu retreated in front of Ling Shiyu and Han Mei, opening a shield of Spiritual Energy to protect the surrounding area.

Bang!

With the first strike, Ling Jue staggered back several steps, and the stone wall showed no sign of any impact.

“Father, didn’t you use inner strength?” Ling Shiyu felt a bit embarrassed—the sight of a Heavenly Rank High-Level Warrior who couldn’t even leave a single mark on a stone wall was truly…

“Hehe, watch what I do next!” What else could Ling Jue say?

With the first punch, he realized his mistake.

The stone wall was incredibly tough, and stepping forward to strike it was a mistake.

Now, instead of regaining face, he’d be lucky if he didn’t lose even more.

“Mysterious Rank High-Level martial arts skill, Ring Explosion!”

Ling Jue flipped his fists, and a snapping sound came from his arms.

He then rapidly struck the stone wall.

Crack, crack!

With each noise from the neighboring wall, an added force was channeled into his fists against the stone wall.

But when his inner strength was nearly depleted, a mortified Ling Jue withdrew his fists, “It’s no use, with my cultivation, I can’t even leave a mark on the stone wall.”

Unwilling to admit defeat, Ling Jue was convinced that Xia Liu couldn’t break through the wall either.

As a Heavenly Rank High-Level Warrior, he couldn’t even leave a mark on the stone wall; Xia Liu wasn’t an Innate Warrior, so how could he possibly have the power to break through it?
