Chapter 244: Eight Trigrams Formation
Outside the cave, there was a sudden and urgent knock on the door, followed by a man's voice.
"Elder Jizi! Elder Jizi! I have something to report!"
Hearing the man's voice, the woman at the peak of the late Jindan stage named Ji Zi couldn't help but frown, because the person calling from outside the cave was the one who was in charge of the sect's protective formation in her Hehuan branch sect.
Ji Zi dodged and shot towards the stone gate of the cave. With a wave of her hand, she opened the cave door directly. She raised her hand and grabbed the person outside the door, sucked him into her hand, and with a slender jade hand, she grabbed the person who spoke before and shouted.
"Tell me, what's going on? What's the urgent matter? Why are you so anxious? Have you found another escapee from the Five Elements Sect? Even if you have, you're not the one to report it!"
The captured person was a middle-aged man whose cultivation was only in the late stage of foundation building. For a moment, he was almost strangled to death and hurriedly stammered, pointing at Ji Zi's hand.
Seeing this, Ji Zi snorted coldly, loosened his grip and put him down, his expression cold and displeased.
"Speak now! If you can't give a reason, you don't need to live!"
Just now, she was still thinking about how to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm and become the new Nascent Soul Supreme Elder of the Hehuan Sect. After all, she is now over 450 years old and her life span is not much. If she does not make a breakthrough, she will most likely die of old age. Now, because of this matter, her temper is getting worse as she gets older.
This middle-aged man in the late foundation building stage also knew the temper of this elder, and he couldn't help but kneel down hurriedly and said respectfully.
"Replying to Elder, I've been sensing the sect's protective formation and have discovered that I can't connect to the core of the Five Elements Formation's mountain fire. I've sent a sound transmission jade slip and sent people to check. I've hurriedly come to report to you, but there's still no news."
After hearing this, Ji Zi's expression changed, and then her face showed disbelief, and she thought to herself.
"That's not right! The Five Elements Formation Mountain is guarded by Elder Yan Lai, and the center of the Fire Formation contains a late Jindan stage killing formation. Even I can't get close to the center of the formation."
"Now, apart from my Hehuan Sect and Jiandao Sect, there is no Nascent Soul cultivator in Tianhuai Kingdom. Could it be that Jiandao Sect attacked us, or that the sect of Xuantian Kingdom has moved south?"
Thinking of this, she rejected her own idea. After all, behind their Hehuan Sect was the Yin-Yang Divine Sect, which had two Divine Transformations. The other two sects together only had two Divine Transformations powerful men, and there was no way they would attack her Hehuan branch sect.
Ji Zi looked at the middle-aged man in front of her who was watching the formation with a puzzled look and confirmed.
"Look up at me, are you sure? Has the Fire Eye lost contact?"
Facing the majestic and unquestionable voice of the Jindan elder, the middle-aged man in the late foundation building stage raised his head, looked at his elder, recalled it again in his mind, nodded again, swallowed his saliva, and confirmed.
"Elder, I confirm it."
Ji Zi's face suddenly darkened and became solemn. Then she walked back and forth in the cave and asked.
"What is the cultivation level of the disciple who went to check, and when will he return?"
The middle-aged man replied, "Elder, this is a junior fellow who is in the early stage of foundation building. It won't take more than a quarter of an hour to go back and forth. Using the sound transmission jade slip will be even faster."
Ji Zi nodded and thought to herself, "I'm in charge of the Hehuan branch sect and control the Five Elements sect's protective formation. Even though it's a damaged formation, the four formations working together can stop a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. Now if I destroy another formation, I can still fight against a cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul. I'll wait a little longer. If there's still no news, I'll activate the formation to repel the enemy. I hope it's just the core of the formation that's been in disrepair for a long time!"
As time passed, Ji Zi's inner world collapsed bit by bit. The last bit of hope disappeared, and her body turned into a ray of light and shot into the cave.
The cave is extremely spacious. On the stone wall in a corner, there are circles of precise and strange patterns imprinted there. If you look down from a high place, you will find that the precise and strange patterns on the ground are actually a huge array plate.
Ji Zi rushed into the formation, then made hand gestures and cast spells, attacking the two circular patterns on the huge formation plate. Suddenly, the patterns began to transform into black and white. As black and white appeared, the ground was also transformed, eventually forming an Bagua Tai Chi plate.
In the outside world, a golden light shot up into the sky, followed by a green light. As the two lights rose, the entire Hehuan branch was slowly covered by a barrier and shrouded in it.
In the cave, Ji Zi looked at the golden and green lights on the Tai Chi Bagua plate, and her face suddenly became extremely ugly. She clenched her fists tightly, and there was a constant creaking sound.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Who! Who on earth could have destroyed the Fire and Earth Formation's cores?"
Then, she muttered to herself, "Nascent Soul cultivator, it must be a Nascent Soul cultivator. Only a Nascent Soul cultivator could quietly enter our Hehuan branch and destroy this formation."
Knowing it was a Nascent Soul expert, she couldn't help but wonder, "Is it the Nascent Soul of the Sword Dao Sect in the west, or the Nascent Soul of the Xuantian Kingdom in the north? Aren't they afraid of the Yin Yang Divine Sect behind my Hehuan Sect? Do they want to recreate the shocking battle of thirty-two years ago?"
Ji Zi couldn't think of an answer. After all, she was not a superior, but just a cultivator at the peak of the late Jindan stage.
She stepped on the Bagua formation plate, and the black and white dots each released a mist line, connecting with it. Ji Zi's eyes suddenly turned black and white.
Above the Hehuan branch, golden light and green light merged together, slowly condensing into a huge female body. Looking closely, it was actually Ji Zi magnified countless times.
She opened her mouth and her majestic voice resounded throughout the Hehuan branch.
"That hideaway Nascent Soul expert actually sneaked into my Hehuan branch and broke my protective formation. Do you dare to show up and fight?"
As he spoke, his huge spiritual body shook, and immediately the pressure of the early Nascent Soul swept in all directions.
As soon as she said this, the faces of countless cultivators in the Hehuan branch sect suddenly changed, and they didn't dare to breathe.
In the Lily Hall, a pair of cultivators kissing in a room suddenly cried out in surprise, "Senior Sister, what's going on? Was that Elder Ji Zi's voice just now? She said... a Nascent Soul cultivator has intruded into our sect?"
The woman who was called senior sister was also shocked, but she hugged her junior sister and comforted her.
"Don't be afraid, Junior Sister. My Hehuan branch sect still has a sect protection formation. Judging from the sound, Elder Ji Zi must have activated the formation. Even a Nascent Soul expert can withstand it."
Although they said this, one of them was only in the Qi Refining stage, and the other was only in the Foundation Establishment stage, and they immediately hugged each other tightly.
As Ji Zi's voice spread throughout the sect, a sneering and arrogant voice also responded loudly.
"Hahaha! The Hehuan branch sect? Why don't I remember that the Hehuan sect has such a branch sect? A mere Jindan cultivator thinks that he can fight against a Yuanying cultivator with just a formation?"
