27. The Road to Appraisal

(…" The Heart Appraisal Formation. It's this thing again … It could be considered a tradition of the Fragmentary Star Group. The Heart Appraisal Array was mainly used to confuse the mind and hook the soul. They basically would not die, which was why they could do such a stupid thing like filling a person up. I think they still have some tricks up their sleeves.) Wen Qubing examined the array formation and calculated in his heart. If he only had the Heart Appraisal Array to protect, then the level of this secret scripture would not be too high. The things inside would not be worth looking forward to, and would not be much worse than the one he had opened before.

He had also activated the Illusory Fire Cauldron that he had accidentally obtained. It had opened up another valuable way to obtain the Wen Family, and it had a lot of meaning, but that time when he had opened up the secret treasury, he had almost died trying to break through the killing formation …

(But with a secret manual on the level of Jade Slip of Nine Yin, just for this one item, the defense should not be that low. The Heart Appraisal Formation may only be at the first layer, but there are other powerful ones behind it …) Standing under the mountain wall, Wen Qubing looked up and determined the range of the five colored fog's change in attack. Looking at the cracks on the mountain wall, he suddenly realized that a portion of the cracks were extremely unnatural, especially the ones where the people who broke through the formation dropped their ropes and nailed the joints onto the mountain wall. No matter how he looked at it, it was not normal.

(…" This was an explosive formation, truly the pinnacle of earth laws and steel. They really did plan to forcefully blow up just because they couldn't afford to. Fuck, if the Fragmentary Star Treasure Trove was so easy to obtain, then was it still the Fragmentary Star Treasure Trove? However, there was something strange about this Explosive Formation. It was not used to coordinate with gunpowder nor was it used to draw in the natural energy. Then … What do you want to start with?) After a few glances, Wen Qubing did not say anything, picked up an empty rope and tied it around his waist, preparing to go up to take a look, but Loong Yun'er was shocked, she did not expect him to do it so easily, and immediately found a rope to tie herself up, wanting to follow him up the cliff.

Wen Qubing pressed a hand on Loong Yun'er's shoulder, stopping her from moving. At the same time, he activated his Heart's Voice Technique and revealed a strange expression, "You want to go as well? Do you have any skills? '

'At least I have my Bloodline Awakening, and my hands and feet are powerful as well. Loong Yun'er looked up at the tall mountain wall. She was indeed a little afraid, but she still said, "You don't even have the strength on your hands. "I'll go up together with you. I can catch you and protect you."

'Protect me? 'Save it, I won't give my life to unreliable people to protect you.' Wen Qubing scoffed, "You better carry out your plans and protect these brave warriors from under my demonic claws!"

Although he felt that this man liked to mock him, but she had no choice but to admit that he had the right to raise this doubt. He owed Loong Yun'er a favour and helped him along the way, but Loong Yun'er could not promise to stand on her side.

'I just... I don't want to see anyone hurt, and I hope that they will be fine. But I also hope that you, Elder Brother Wen, will be safe and sound. '

"..." 'Sorry, I seem to remember that my surname is Jia. Miss, if you don't feel good, then just randomly call for me.'

Wen Qubing ended his Heart's Flute call and started climbing. He had no strength left in his hands, but he did not need anyone's help to do so. Just like that, he pulled on the rope and climbed higher, step by step, closer to the area of the colorful fog.

"Yo, sure enough, this is the path of assessment."

Wen Qubing looked at the colorful fog for a while longer before saying: "To break through the array, you have to officially open the formation, and then we won't be able to run into each other."

Han Hsinghun, who was already at the side, nodded and said: "Brother Jia's eyesight is not bad, it is true, but this formation is not something that can be opened casually. It requires at least a mid stage to activate the formation to allow it to change further, if not …"

Wen Qubing glanced at Han Hsinghun, there were only a few Intermediate level Lying Tiger Stronghold, so every time he sent people to open the array, he would have to pay a huge price. Although he would not die, and would probably lose a lot of his vitality, they could not arrange good hands to keep trying again, but this way, the energy dissipating from the array would be extremely taxing.

"Okay, let the experts come." Okay, let the experts come. Wen Qubing pulled up his sleeves in excitement, ready to start the construction soon.

Han Hsinghun had originally expected that if Wen Qubing had real ability and was able to analyze the Heart Appraisal Array, even without the help of a powerful warrior, he would be able to open the array, if not it would only be the color of the Nine Paths, but seeing that Wen Qubing did not request for help and was preparing to make a move, he became hesitant. He recalled that last time when Wen Qubing was analyzing the Nine Yin Handle, he actually dared to cultivate it directly. But there was a group of people nearby.

"Brother Jia, what do you plan to do?"

"Hmm? It's the orthodox way of doing things. First, find the base of the formation, twist it, then find the core of the formation, and then analyze its flaws to solve the formation. "

"But …" I see that normal arcane masters have to bring along a bunch of magical equipment, compasses, and the like to analyze their positions. You... You don't need any props? " Han Hsinghun was a little amused, "Although trash are so popular now, you are not such a monster, right?"

"What kind of genius would a small matter like this require?" Isn't it just to carry out the mountain stronghold's style and make steel using earth laws? " Wen Qubing laughed: "I should have used artifacts and tools, but don't I have none? "Even if there is, my body won't be able to use it. After all, you don't have any better people. I'll just test it out one by one, little by little, just like these brothers who used up the energy of the formation."

"Is it dangerous?"

"It's alright. This formation doesn't kill anyone. At most, it will suddenly increase in power by ten times, and its might will also increase by a dozen or so times."

After Wen Qubing finished speaking, his face turned ashen. If this Heart Appraisal Formation suddenly exploded, swallowing everyone here in one go, making them lose their minds and be trapped for a few days and nights, it would be a disaster, and even if the formation didn't kill them, they would have to die after falling off the cliff.

"Brother Jia, if you do this, then the people here … Isn't it too dangerous? "

"Aiya! "I was so excited that I completely forgot about this. However, the process and result of making earth into steel is not the main point. The main focus is on the spirit of adventure …"

"Forget it, forget it. Dingyuan, you can go now!"

The leader of the village, Chen Dingyuan, was assigned by Han Hsinghun. He was a short middle-aged man who had reached level 4, and when he heard the bird mission on his head, he did not waste any time and released the rope tied around his waist.

Sensing the arrival of the middle stage warrior, the five-colored fog released a bright light. The rolling fog split apart and condensed into a tens of steps long Cloud Sky Stairway, welcoming the steps of the invaders.

At the end of the Heaven Stairway, there was another ball of blurry light mist. It was not possible to see what secrets were hidden inside, but the words "Appraisal" appeared on the light mist.

Chen Dingyuan stepped onto the Sky Stairway and his whole body was covered with the power of his bloodline. His hands and feet were covered in beast hair, and even his face looked wolf. It was the transformation of a wolf-type bloodline beast.

The moment he landed on the Heaven Stairway, Chen Dingyuan lost his focus. The force of Qi burst out from his body, as if he was facing a great enemy. He then steadily walked up the Heaven Stairway.

The Lying Tiger Stronghold s watching him charge through the formation, felt the aftershocks of his fourth level strength, and even his battle wolf aura were all incomparably envious. It was unknown just when he would be able to push his strength up to the fourth level. He entered the middle stage.

Although the middle stage was only considered to be a low-level stage with the highest strength being only at the fourth stage, and was far from the peak of the tenth stage, it was still a thousand and eight thousand miles away from the peak of the tenth stage. But for more than seventy percent of martial artists, reaching the middle stage at the age of fifty or sixty was the peak of their lives.

Chen Dingyuan's performance made these martial arts rookies look forward to seeing his heroic appearance. However, his body was tense, and he had only stepped on the third step, as if he was in a fierce battle with a powerful enemy. Not only were he yelling, waving, punching, and kicking, but he was also sweating profusely.

Finally, the moment he set foot on the fourth step, his body froze and he lost consciousness. He fell from the sky and the other leaders of the village who were already prepared threw out ropes and wrapped him up, saving his life.

"..." Just as Brother Jia has seen, the Grand Way of the Heart of Appraisal is not easy to achieve, but every time the Great Way opens, it would maintain for an hour.

Han Hsinghun was helpless, he knew that Chen Dingyuan challenging the array, fighting to the death with so many strong enemies, recovering would take at least one to two days, and if he wanted to regain his full strength, it would take at least ten days to half a month. During this period of time, he was disabled, which was not a small loss.

"Oh, middle stage is pretty quick. Big Boss Han, have you ever tried it? How many steps can you break through?"

's question was undoubtedly exposing him right in front of his face, immediately attracting the furious gazes of the people around him. Han Hsinghun shook his hand, and said: "Sixth stage, two times. I tried to prepare with all my might, instigated my energy to go in there, and also tried to empty my mind without using any energy to go in, but the results were all the same …"

"..." Without using power, the Sky Stairway will not show itself. However, once you use your power, your mind will be clouded, and you will be heading in the direction of destruction. "

Wen Qubing laughed: "There are many enchanting arrays that confuse the heart, all kinds of sects have techniques to break it, but has Big Master Han ever thought of why this Heavenly Road is called Detecting the Heart, and not Perception?"

Han Hsinghun frowned: What advice do you have for me?

Wen Qubing laughed, "Let's not talk about superfluous words, didn't Big Master Han come to find me to break the array? While the Heaven Stairway is still around, let's start our work. "

"Okay, does the Brother Jia still need our help?"

Han Hsinghun looked at Wen Qubing. Until now, they still felt that he was a little overpowered, like a doctor who had rushed to the hospital in a hurry, simply because he was better off than nothing. They did not believe that he would really be able to figure something out.

"I do need help. In order to prevent you from participating and reducing the success rate, please stand far away from me. Don't drag me down."

Wen Qubing laughed, as though everything was set in stone, "Give me a few minutes, make some preparations, I will immediately destroy this path of heart assessment for all of you to see."
