Chapter 58 Where the Sun and Moon Shine, Perpetual Motion
Chapter 58 Where the Sun and Moon Shine, Perpetual Motion
The midday sun shone directly down from the dense mountain peaks, clearly illuminating the tired bloodshot eyes, dry lips, and bluish dark circles under Jiang Linyue's eyes.
Compared to her youthful and vibrant appearance within the sect, Hua Xufang felt a pang of sadness. Looking around at his equally exhausted and listless injured fellow disciples, and sensing the somber mood around him, his heart sank even further.
Then, Hua Xufang looked at the twelve divine characters before him again, and considering Fang Heyun's past achievements, he finally made a decision with some skepticism: "Alright, let's use it first!"
He first instructed the disciples of Renyi Peak present to assign the wounded and sick to be cared for, and each to choose a place to rest. Then, he invoked the combination of the character "神" in his mind.
As the concealed immense power rapidly expanded outwards, transforming into a semi-transparent shield that only they could perceive, Hua Xufang, inside the formation, unexpectedly relaxed his graying brows.
The bright sunlight in the valley had kept them on edge, fearing they would be discovered by the scouts of the two sects and attract a large number of enemies.
But at this moment, the bright sunlight transformed into warm energy, pouring into the protective shield from all directions, and even sending a wisp into their bodies to replenish the small amount of profound energy they had previously consumed.
A sense of security and fulfillment arises spontaneously.
"This warm feeling is so comfortable. If this is what Wang Yan thought of, then at least he's considerate of his patients... Hmm? What's going on? They're not consuming my Xuan Qi?"
Hua Xufang was startled. He quickly looked up and saw that the characters for "sun" and "illuminate" in the divine script were drawing energy from the sun, constantly warming him, giving him strength, and supporting the operation of the formation's great power.
After carefully studying this divine text, Hua Xufang's eyes lit up, and he realized: "Could this be the true meaning of 'the sun and moon shine upon us'? As long as I continue to use this divine combination under the sun and moon, does it consume sunlight and moonlight? The sun sets, but the moon rises, so it can still continue to function?"
Hua Xufang wasn't the only one holding the same idea; other disciples of Renyi Peak did as well.
In an instant, everyone who had been anxious and frustrated felt a little more at ease.
If it doesn't consume Xuan Qi, everyone can continue to recover their Xuan Qi.
Jiang Linyue was overjoyed, her lips curving into a smile, her eyes filled with tenderness and admiration that she herself was unaware of.
Just then, she heard Senior Sister Tang teasingly say weakly, "You're smiling so sweetly, what, did your Junior Brother Wang Yan come up with this hidden divine rune formation?"
Jiang Linyue blushed slightly, then readily admitted, "It must have been Uncle Fang who provided the ideas, and he helped to simplify them. Otherwise, Uncle Fang certainly couldn't have written such a concise combination!"
The idea of directly addressing the energy supply, ensuring continuous and uninterrupted energy supply, was novel and interesting, and it greatly inspired her.
Perhaps, she should break free from her habitual thinking and boldly imagine in the future.
Just then, Jiang Linyue suddenly heard faint voices coming from afar.
"There's a fluctuation of an array here! People from the Cloud Cauldron Sect should be hiding here. Everyone, search quickly!"
Immediately afterwards, the sounds of clothes fluttering and grass and leaves being parted came from afar.
Jiang Linyue was startled. Her face, which had just regained some color, turned pale again, and she subconsciously clenched her fists.
Before she could figure out how to deal with these enemies, disciples from the Golden Dragon Sect and the Mad Eagle Sect, both second-tier sects, stormed into the valley where a hidden formation had been set up, their eyes filled with fierce killing intent.
The leader was none other than Du Weihu, the fourth elder of the Mad Eagle Sect, who had repeatedly killed and injured their disciples in the past two days.
The Mad Eagle Sect and the Cloud Cauldron Sect have adjacent territories and have been mortal enemies in the past, frequently clashing on the border. This time, the main force is still pursuing them.
Hua Xufang's heart tightened again. He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and was about to get up to fight when he saw Du Weihu's eldest disciple, Chen Qishi, raise his hand and scatter a large patch of multicolored powder mist into the air, covering an area of several hundred meters. A multicolored divine character combination also appeared between his eyebrows.
This multicolored powder mist is the Heaven-Breaking Powder that reveals hidden formations. It is extremely expensive; a day or two of the powder would cost Hua Xufang a month's salary.
The large amount of Broken Heavenly Secret Powder that Chen Qishi scattered must have weighed at least several kilograms!
Hua Xufang's eyes twitched, filled with resentment: "This expensive Heavenly Secret Powder is being used so recklessly by them, just to find us..."
As the celestial powder filled the sky, it was quickly transformed into colorful mist under the sunlight, carried by the gentle breeze, and then fell rapidly.
Hua Xufang's heart sank lower and lower. He gave a desperate, bitter laugh and was about to activate the God combination for the battle.
However, when his gaze fell upon the mist, his eyes suddenly widened in astonishment, his bloodshot eyes staring at it.
Not only him, but the other disciples of the Cloud Cauldron Sect hidden in the formation also looked strangely at the outside of the formation while maintaining their battle-ready postures.
The colorful, ethereal mist above their heads had transformed into a vibrant and beautiful scene.
Normally, this beautiful fog is like the grim gleam of death, beautiful yet deadly.
Then, it should disappear quickly within a few breaths, immediately revealing their hidden formation.
That was the moment when Hua Xufang and his fellow disciples from the Yiying Yunding Sect faced off against the enemies outside the formation.
but…….
At this moment, the large patch of multicolored Heavenly Secret Powder above their heads remained unchanged, quietly dispersing.
The hidden formation set up by the disciples of Renyi Peak using the new divine script did not appear to be discovered or broken.
It was as if the colorful, celestial mist was not revealing their whereabouts, but rather helping them to hide.
Hua Xufang was immediately filled with countless questions as he looked at the colorful mist that was still slowly spreading in the wind.
"What happened?"
The others exchanged puzzled glances, but dared not speak out because of the enemies outside the formation.
At this moment, Chen Qishi's equally puzzled voice rang out from outside the formation: "Strange, there are clearly fluctuations in the formation outside, but why aren't they here? Could it be that they've escaped again?"
Hua Xufang couldn't help but open his mouth slightly in astonishment.
Chen Qishi, a cultivator at the Condensation Realm, couldn't even see his more than one hundred seriously injured patients sitting less than a hundred meters away.
It's one thing that Chen Qishi can't see them, but even Elder Du Weihu, who is at the Solid Origin Realm, turns a blind eye to them.
It's impossible that these two showed mercy.
In a flash, Hua Xufang suddenly understood.
"Could it be that the combination of the four divine characters 'Hidden Array Technique' exerted its due power, protecting our concealment array and preventing the Heavenly Secret Powder from functioning?"
