CHAPTER 1061: 1061 THE GRAND FORMATION DISAPPEARS! (THIRD UPDATE)

Half an hour later, Venerable Wu Yang and the owner of the Library Pavilion returned to Yun Shang Palace, their expressions grim.

The people of the Three Ancient Clans were very clever. No matter how these two tried to provoke them into action, they would not engage and instead attacked the formation directly. As a result, the two had to take the offensive, and they narrowly avoided being captured by several of the King’s Realm experts on the opposing side.

Venerable Wu Yang said with lingering fear, "If it weren’t for Ji Batian’s absence, it’s likely only one of us would have made it back alive."

The owner of the Library Pavilion remained silent. Indeed, it was extremely dangerous earlier. Aside from Ji Batian, there were four King’s Realm experts remaining. The two could barely withstand an attack from one each, but when the surrounding elders and numerous enforcement groups used a joint attack technique, their otherwise ordinary moves became incredibly formidable under the enhancement of hundreds, posing a significant threat to the duo, allowing the Clan Leaders of the Three Ancient Clans to find an opportunity to injure them.

"The attacks from the Three Ancient Clans have become more ferocious." Cloud Boss brought concerning news, causing Jin Shanshun, Jin’er, and others to frown.

"At this rate of attack, the time before the disappearance of the formation will be accelerated again."

Among everyone, only Venerable Wu Yang and the owner of the Library Pavilion possessed the highest strength, but even they were outnumbered. The high-end and mid-level combat power of the Three Ancient Clans far surpassed that of Yun Shang Palace.

At this moment, many servants within Yun Shang Palace were trembling with fear. Cloud Boss allowed these servants to choose whether to leave or stay and face life and death with Yun Shang Palace.

Regrettably, faced with the current crisis, most of these servants did not wish to stay, and they rapidly left, hoping to preserve their lives.

However, as soon as they stepped out, they were shot by people from the Three Ancient Clans, frightening many into returning, causing the situation to become exceedingly awkward.

Jin Shanshun, Jin’er, and others, possessing weak strength, were unable to help. At this moment, they could only pin their hopes on Ye Qiu, hopeful that their young master could nullify the formation within three days, draw out the ancient beasts, and present the Three Ancient Clans with a great dilemma.

"The young master has been out for ten days, hasn’t he?"

"Yes, I really hope the young master can return safely and rescue Tu’er."

"Believe in the young master; the young master promised us, and he will definitely fulfill it."

Jin’er comforted the women; during this excruciatingly slow time, people’s hearts were agitated, and even Venerable Wu Yang and others were in an uneasy state of mind.

Because everyone understood that once two days passed, they would truly be facing a life-and-death crisis.

...

Within the safe passage of Barbaric Wilderness Forest, after carefully researching the area, Ye Qiu finally understood why this safe passage existed. It was not actually a flaw within the formation; rather, it was a passage deliberately left by the Du Gu clan of old, and right near this safe passage was the location of the formation’s eye.

Using his X-ray vision, Ye Qiu continuously probed until he eventually discovered a large amount of crystal stones hidden underground beneath the safe passage, comparable to a crystal stone mine vein.

"Using the vein as the eye of the formation, with the peak as the linkage point, condensing nature’s spiritual energy into the source of the formation, so that’s how it is."

Ye Qiu had now comprehended the mysteries of the formation, and it no longer held any mystery for him; dismantling the formation was now quite simple.

Ye Qiu created a hole by blasting through the ground, directly diving inside and collecting a large amount of crystal stones.

"Collect, collect, collect..."

Ye Qiu moved along, collecting along the way, and he filled his arsenal with numerous top-grade crystal stones, far exceeding the crystal stones obtained from a mine vein.

Ye Qiu even suspected whether this had been intentionally left for posterity by the Du Gu family of old. Nevertheless, he did not have time to think deeply about it now. As long as he collected all the crystal stones, the formation’s eye would automatically disappear, and with the center gone, the entire formation would collapse immediately.

In reality, the transformation of the formation was occurring much faster than Ye Qiu anticipated because as the eye of the formation diminished, constantly collapsing, tiny cracks began to appear as the formation expanded eastward and westward from the safe passage.

An ancient beast inadvertently crashed into this spot and suddenly realized the energy of the formation was dwindling.

Roar...

The ancient beast roared, seemingly notifying other ancient beasts that the formation sealing this area was starting to dissolve. They would finally be unbound by this land and could step into the ancient ground.

Roar!

Several ancient beasts responded, rushing to the edge of the formation, observing the changes in the ripples on the formation.

Meanwhile, Ye Qiu inside the safe passage was fervently collecting. At this point, he had replenished all the crystal stones he had previously consumed, including those left for Yun Shang Palace, and they were all top-grade crystal stones, far superior in quality to first-grade stones.

Ye Qiu felt that even his storage pouch was nearly insufficient, yet nothing could deter his enthusiasm for amassing a large volume of crystal stones.

With so many top-quality crystal stones, they were enough to advance his power from the Mythic Realm to the King’s Realm. Previously, Ye Qiu believed there would be issues using crystal stones for cultivation, but now, using these top-grade crystal stones, there would be no such problems.

These were treasures comparable to elixirs, and Ye Qiu didn’t want to miss a single piece.

Right when Ye Qiu had collected more than half of the crystal stones, numerous ancient beasts gathered at each peak because the sensation of the formation was strongest there. These ancient beasts noticed the formation’s strength gradually weakening, and cracks and instabilities were beginning to appear.

Boom.

An ancient beast couldn’t hold back and began to attack the formation.

It continuously rammed its massive body against the formation.

Meanwhile, those exploring the outskirts of the Barbaric Wilderness Forest, searching for Ye Qiu, all sensed something unusual.

"Look at that, there are so many ancient beasts over there." Someone at the boundary between the ancient ground and the Barbaric Wilderness Forest pointed to the gathering of numerous ancient beasts.

"These creatures are gigantic and look terrifying, but I’m not afraid of them because they can’t get out, haha..."

"Let’s not stay around here while being watched by these ancient beasts. It feels very uncomfortable. We should leave." Someone wanted to depart.

"You’re too timid, what are you afraid of? It’s been so many years, and you’ve never seen an ancient beast escape from the Barbaric Wilderness Forest, have you? Relax, even if we urinate in front of them and taunt them, they can only look on helplessly." A dark-skinned young martial artist said smugly, as if accustomed to doing just that.

After saying this, the young man indeed demonstrated it once, causing a female martial artist present to immediately cover her eyes and scold him as a rogue, which made the others burst into laughter.

"See, what did I tell you? Nothing happened to me, did it? These creatures are just pets we keep in the ancient ground; they can’t come out."

Just as the young man finished speaking, a rotund ancient beast rolled down along the terrain, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

"Run!"

"How can it be, an ancient beast actually got out?!"

"Heavens, is the ancient ground changing?!"

A moment ago, the urinating young man was smugly boasting, but suddenly an ancient beast reached through the formation and slapped him to the ground, turning him into a meat patty.

In an instant, everyone was shocked and fled in panic.
