Rift in the World

“Whoever told you there was only one? If I’m correct, there eight colours. There are innumerous of them, and they’re bloody strong!” Xiaoshuai swore.

“If you’re correct?” Mu Yu asked, looking at Xiaoshuai out of his peripherals.

“Hehe.” Xiaoshuai scratched his head. “My intuition. Just know that I’m familiar with this feeling. I swear Old Geezer brought me here before but on the other side.”

Mu Yu’s gaze followed Xiaoshuai’s finger to the opening and queried, “What’s on the other side?”

“Something I hate. Just fix the seal first. Old Geezer’s formations wouldn’t just crumble unless something is wrong.”

Mu Yu scrutinised the opening in the text and then the boundary of the spherical formation that contained the shattered rocks within. Its circumference was, at least, a kilometre wide. The aperture was only one metre, yet it was enough for Chi Yue to escape from. He deduced the structure of the formation and said, “That’s a rather daunting task. Formation Palace and Formation and Talisman Stone can only defuse common formations. This is anything but common. This is comparable to Nine Heavens Demon Sealing Formation.”

The closer Mu Yu went to the aperture, the more frantic his breathing became. The air outside the formation was suffocating. On the other side were white lights flitting across a field of darkness, albeit for a fleeting moment. As he reached his hand to the other side, pressure smacked him in the face!

“A Heaven and Earth Barrier?” Mu Yu remarked.

“A Heaven and Earth Barrier? The rat burrow you mentioned last time?”

“Rat burrow? Big Earthworm, get educated!”

“Weren’t you two the ones who said you crawled through a hole to return to Third Heaven from Second Heaven?”

“Damn, just how strong is Shifu? Next question: how did that freak break through such a convoluted formation? It was evidently an amateur at formations given the fact that it never noticed the traps I set. Even if it was able to defuse the formation, how would it create this massive cave or whatever you want to call it?”

“This is my guess: this formation stopped it after it arrived in this world. Since its corpse water is corrosive and can absorb spiritual energy, I hypothesise its corpse water corroded a small hole for it to then control the dead above the small hole.”

“I reckon it’d have taken centuries to melt a small hole. It’s patient; I’ll give it that. Anyhow, fixing this formation. The first thing I need to do is familiarise myself with every line’s function, lest I draw a line that conflicts with Shifu’s original lines and damages it. How ironic is it that I’m the one fixing your formations when you didn’t teach me formations, Shifu. I hope you’re safe.”

“I hope Old Geezer is fine. Now, let’s block this aperture first.”

Text in the distant flashed and circulated rapidly. The flowing light dimmed whenever it edged close to the aperture, though.

“This is going to be a big task, figuring out the formation’s structure from the text and lines.”

In the Heaven and Earth Barrier, at the far outer perimeter of the seal, a glowing human silhouette ambled as fast as lightning through the barrier, as if the pressure inside the barrier was just a gentle breeze.
