Chapter 334 - 331 Invisible Formation
Chapter 334 - 331 Invisible Formation
"Stop thinking about it," Jiang Qilong waved his hand. "With our current strength, there's no way to get close to the Immortal Palace."
"There must be a way," Gao Fei frowned and said.
"What kind of method could there be?" Jiang Qilong curled his lip. "I advise you to give it up. Wait until we've become stronger and then come back to open up the Immortal Palace."
"I can't bear to just leave like this," Gao Fei said, taking a few steps forward. "If I'm not mistaken, there should be a formation around the Immortal Palace. That strong force we felt just now must have been the formation being triggered. Yes, it must be so."
"A formation?" Jiang Qilong glanced around. "Where is the formation? I can't see it."
Gao Fei picked up a small stone from the ground and with a flick of his finger, he sent it flying toward the Immortal Palace.
"Bang!"
The stone exploded into fragments a few yards from the Immortal Palace and slowly fell to the ground.
"I see," Gao Fei's face revealed a sudden understanding. "Such a clever trick, it's completely undetectable unless one is specifically looking for it."
"What did you find?" Jiang Qilong asked.
"Indeed, there is a formation around the Immortal Palace, an invisible formation," Gao Fei slowly said.
"Invisible?" Jiang Qilong was taken aback. "If it is invisible, how did you manage to see it?"
"I can see it," Gao Fei said with a slight smile. "Others may not be able to, but I can."
"What the heck, the more you talk, the more confused I get."
"Some things are rather complicated and can't be explained in a few words," Gao Fei said.
"An invisible formation?" Jiang Qilong leaned in and then gazed intently, trying to discern something. "I can't see anything."
Why could Gao Fei see the invisible formation? Because he possessed Clairvoyance, of course. Clairvoyance was the most unique spell from the Demon God Heritage, capable of seeing through everything.
In Jiang Qilong's eyes, the area around the Immortal Palace was empty, but it was different for Gao Fei... He could clearly see light surrounding the Immortal Palace, strands of light interwoven to form a net of light, enveloping the Immortal Palace within it.
The strong force that had repelled Gao Fei was emitted by these strands of light.
"Left three, right one... Above... Block below..." Gao Fei murmured softly.
"What are you saying? I can't understand a word," Jiang Qilong furrowed his brow.
"There are gaps between the strands of light, and they're constantly moving. If we find the right position, we can get in," Gao Fei grinned. "So, that's it! That's it!!! The person who set up this formation must be a master, perhaps someone like me, with special abilities."
Jiang Qilong looked back and forth between Gao Fei and the Immortal Palace, his face a mix of surprise and confusion.
"Jiang Qilong, don't say I didn't give you a chance! From now on, follow my every step without deviation. Wherever I go, you go. Be very careful not to make a mistake," Gao Fei said, and with that, he started walking toward the Immortal Palace with a determined gaze and steady steps.
"Hey, you're asking to be thrown back again!" Jiang Qilong yelled out loud.
"Not this time," Gao Fei called back without turning his head. "I've figured out the secrets of the formation's operation. I can get in with ease."
"Keep bragging," Jiang Qilong didn't believe it at all.
"Believe it or not, I'm telling the truth," Gao Fei laughed. "Just a reminder, if you don't keep up now, you'll miss your chance later."
Seeing Gao Fei brimming with confidence, Jiang Qilong couldn't help but hesitate. What was the situation? Had Gao Fei really found a flaw? After a moment of hesitation, Jiang Qilong followed, "Wait for me."
Gao Fei slowed his pace and looked back at Jiang Qilong, "I knew you'd catch up."
"You'd better not be lying to me, or else..."
"Or else what? You want to beat me up?"
"I would like to beat you, but unfortunately, I don't have the skill."
"Just follow me carefully, step where I step, and don't make any mistakes," Gao Fei warned. "You only get one chance. If you can't seize it, you'll be left outside."
Jiang Qilong nodded, "Got it."
Gao Fei led the way, with Jiang Qilong trailing behind him. When Gao Fei moved his left foot, Jiang Qilong did the same. When Gao Fei turned right, so did Jiang Qilong. When Gao Fei stopped, Jiang Qilong stopped too... From that moment on, Jiang Qilong became Gao Fei's shadow.
One step, two steps, three steps...
They were getting closer and closer to the Immortal Palace.
"Stay focused! Don't let your guard down!" Gao Fei's expression turned serious. "We're about to approach the formation."
Jiang Qilong nodded.
"Take bigger steps... Bend over! Lower your head! Crouch down! Get up quickly, go! Hurry, stop...
Turn right, that's it. Keep going straight, don't stop..." Gao Fei would remind him with every step he took.
Half an hour later.
Gao Fei stopped walking, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and exhaled a stifled breath, "We made it over, safe and sound, not easy at all. If we had been just a little off, we both could have been obliterated." Gao Fei had pushed his Clairvoyance to the limit, maneuvering through the gaps of light, and had nearly been touched by the beams, which had caused him to break into a cold sweat.
"Is it really possible?" Jiang Qilong was stunned. "Am I dreaming?" He pinched himself hard, "Ouch, that hurts! This isn't a dream, it's real. Oh my God, I actually made it! I'm inside! Hahaha...
Brother Gao, I love you!"
Jiang Qilong rushed over to embrace Gao Fei.
"Get lost." Gao Fei pushed Jiang Qilong away. "I'm not interested in men."
"What are you thinking?" said Jiang Qilong with a laugh. "I'm just so excited, I wanted to hug you in celebration."
"You might as well hug the Immortal Palace to celebrate," said Gao Fei indifferently.
"You know what? Ever since I discovered this Immortal Palace, I've been obsessed, pondering day and night how to get inside." Jiang Qilong spoke, "I tried every method I could think of. I've suffered a lot and still couldn't get into the Immortal Palace... But now I finally can enter. This is the Immortal Palace, who knows what treasures are hidden inside.
Maybe there's something that can directly ascend to the Immortal Realm..."
"Ever heard this saying?"
"What saying?"
"The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."
"What does that mean?"
"Don't understand? Your IQ really hits rock bottom! What I'm trying to say is, don't get too excited now. If there are no treasures inside the palace, you'll be deeply disappointed."
"That won't happen." Jiang Qilong shook his head vehemently, "There must be treasures inside the palace, remarkable treasures at that."
"Let's hope so," shrugged Gao Fei. "I, too, hope there are treasures."
