Chapter 2203 Another break
Twenty minutes later.
The deputy of the formation department and Bloody Chariot stood at a spot as they observed the formation.
Because of their current position, the formation is barely reacting. It is neither vibrating heavily, nor is it stable and stagnant. It is right in the middle. The formation master has checked the formation several times, but he wasn't able to touch it until now.
He was sure that if he really tried it, the formation will collapse and explode along with everything that is inside.
So, he stayed at this position which he would like to call as the Reaction Threshold Point and studied the formation. Even though he couldn't get too much information from that point, he understood the formations purpose and its basic working.
"Sir, this is actually a security measure."
"Exploding a formation is a security measure?"
"Yes, sir. Whoever laid down this formation, they were pretty adamant about the details of this formation not leaking out, at least the people of certain cultivation level cannot access it.
Only people of certain cultivation level and below can enter this formation. If anyone else does try to break it, or even decode it, the formation will trigger the self-destruction. In fact, they put in so many conditions to trigger its self-destruction that it is almost impossible to break past it.

In fact, they put in so many conditions to trigger its self-destruction that it is almost impossible to break past it.
Like, if you attack it, it will explode. If you try to touch it, it will explode. If there are too many people of higher cultivation level around it, it will explode. If some body tries to tinker with it from afar, it will explode.
If the energy supply is messed with, it will explode.
If it cannot determine the cultivation level of the person, it will explode. In my opinion, it is not even worth it to try and breach this formation. We might as well play by the rules if you really want to check out what is actually inside."
"Are you sure, there is no other way?"
"I am sure, sir. Any attempts might just lead for sudden explosion. It is better to just to play along the rules of the game they set."
"So, what is the cultivation threshold?"
"From my tests, I can assume that people in Grade 1 and Grade 2 can enter this place. My personal opinion is to let the Grade 2 students take a shot at it. Grade 3 might be too much, but we can bring one and test it out."
Bloody Chariot nodded and sent him to do his work.
He went into a deep thought and started thinking about the announcement made by Gungnir and the Thor academy.
It is completely... normal?
It appeared extremely normal to a regular planet. He appeared in the middle of a forest and he couldn't see anything else other than the trees. The only weird thing about the place is that the energy of the planet is very less.
With that level of spiritual energy, he believed it could only product people of Astral Plane level. It would be near impossible to grow past that level in that planet.
He believed that if he forcefully cultivated there for a couple of years, the planet will be deprived of a lot of its vitality and spiritual energy to the point the ecosystem would be in complete shambles.
This intrigued him.
Why would there be such a stark difference between the first planet and this one?
He started exploring the surroundings with those thoughts and soon enough, he saw a similar scene as in the first one.
In front of him, was a formation dome with a translucent barrier. Inside the dome were a bunch of egg shaped energy containers that housed puppets of various kinds.
The most in number are the bird puppets, followed by the humanoid puppets that he has seen in Olympian realm. They are the same model as the one that was sent to deal with the Thor Academy kids.
He had sudden revelation.
The bird puppet that was given to him by Joker must have belonged to the fifth lineage that discovered the new method to fuse minerals and mines together. That explains the weird crystal in that planet.
After all, he hasn't see any humanoid puppets there. At least not for now, with his partial exploration of the place.
As for this planet, this could be the nest for one of the remaining four lineages. This nest's goal is to find the remnants of the fifth civilization and finding it, while the nest of the fifth lineage's goal is to spread their legacy.
He still didn't know how they are planning to do that, but it must have something to do with the threshold of cultivation.
When Bloody Chariot moved closer to the formation dome here, it started vibrating as well. He got the same image in his head.
This one will also explode if touched up on. The self-destruct mechanism is very similar.
He has to bring the formation master to examine this. Until now, apart from these domes, he didn't find anything weird about this place. Maybe the lack of any beasts could be a weird sign, but in his opinion, it is pretty normal for a set up like that to have no beasts. He just credited it to the lineage to clear the place up.
He went back using the token and brought the space gate team along with him to build the space gate on this planet as well.
There is nothing much to examine here, except for the formation dome's threshold.
After examination, it was determined that the threshold of this formation is indeed different from the first planet they visited. According to the formation master, the people with cultivation level of the third grade are much more suitable for this place.
