The Invincible Supreme Medical God-Chapter 978 - 532: Extraordinary Feat (Part 2)
"Without Yue, we wouldn't be here today. Since we were children, he has done so much for us. We consider him our big brother, even though he is younger than us. He is the one who wants the best for us, always ensuring we get whatever we want; anything we need, he will give it to us."
"Yue is the strongest among all of us. Even if we become divine, we might not be able to stand against him. Therefore, to enhance our team's overall power, having him become God first is most beneficial." Cai Jie added, while Lao and Qiao merely shrugged. "We are just Emperors. Although we can also become Gods, it will definitely take a long time. Hence, letting the highest-ranking expert go first is logical."
Upon hearing that they were all willing to give up the first position formed by the Hui Clan, the Bull felt warmth in his heart. He anticipated this, but he was also prepared for at least one of them to become greedy and seize the chance to enter first. Especially now that Yan Xiaobao was not paying attention to what was happening around him.
The Bull expected Cai Jie to propose taking the first position to enter the formation, as he was never truly far behind Yan Xiaobao. His cultivation and power were only a step behind, but he seemed to have no intention of taking over the group. It appeared that Yan Xiaobao had the full support of his friends.
Several hours passed, and they focused on cultivating, everyone excited about the journey of life formation.
When Yan Xiaobao opened his eyes, the flame burned before slowly extinguishing. His body was filled with abundant energy, so much that Yan Xiaobao could feel he advanced once again.
This progress wasn't significant, but even a small step forward was still a significant benefit. Especially when he saw how much Qiao benefited from the whole trial.
Not long after, Lao also woke up. It was apparent he had exhausted all his energy, gaining more progress than Yan Xiaobao, but considering his lower power, it made sense.
"Looks like you're ready." The Bull looked at them and said. He couldn't help but feel excited for himself. The new masters of life formation had arrived, which meant not only the sacred Beast World but also the Bull himself.
"Stand together, hold each other's hands." The Bull instructed, and everyone immediately followed his orders. No one questioned why they suddenly had to hold hands before, just as they didn't ask where they were going.
Seeing them comply with his command once again made the Bull feel pleased. He really liked this group of young people. Even if they succeeded, they didn't become arrogant or complacent.
Once they all held each other's hands and formed a circle around the Bull, he raised his hands, emitting a silver light from his entire body. It had a mercury color, and this light began to flow towards the ground before rising into the air. It formed a flowing silver energy barrier around the whole group. The outside world was blocked, and as they were completely surrounded by this silver light, everything went dark.
Though in this darkness, everything seemed to try to pull them apart, they held on because the Bull told them to hold each other's hands. The world twisted and turned, almost impossible to understand what was happening. As everyone felt confused, nauseous, and uncomfortable, the silver barrier began to break from the top. It again let the light of the world slowly fall apart. The light disappeared into the Bull in the same way it appeared.
Looking around, they were all stunned. They were standing on the mountain summit, but this summit had no peak. It was flat, and everything in the world was red. In the sky was a sheet of scorching red sun, the sand on the ground was red, and even the rocks on the mountain were red. Everything was red, and right in front of them was a huge formation. It was the most complex formation Yan Xiaobao had ever seen, and looking at it hurt his eyes. It was engraved on the mountain top, and Yan Xiaobao realized that what he saw in the trial was vastly different from its true form.
Engraved on the ground were four overlapping circles intertwined with one another, within which were depictions of the four sacred Beast Gods. Mixed with these were patterns of stars, trees, and constellations that Yan Xiaobao had never seen. All of these were carved into the ground.
"How do I take it away?" was what Yan Xiaobao thought, but for now, that's not the most important thing. He felt as if standing in a storm. The essence of heaven and earth created by this formation was so rich that when it left the formation, it felt like a real storm. The pressure in the whole area was immense, forcing Qiao, Lao, Sha Yun, Wang Julong, and Deng Wu to step back a few steps due to the powerful energy.
"The first person to enter should do so now. The rest of you should try to use this energy to improve your cultivation level as much as possible. The higher your level, the less time you need in life formation."
Yan Xiaobao nodded, and everyone looked at him eagerly. "Go!" Wang Julong and Sha Yu urged him. They pushed him forward, and Xu Yue herself raised her head, nodding and getting closer to the formation.
The closer he got, the stronger the energy and pressure became. At some point, he even had difficulty breathing because the energy entered his mouth and nose, almost suffocating him. After a pause, he steadied himself before taking a step forward, breathing deeply.
Getting closer and closer, everyone watched him with wide eyes. Some worried the sudden formation might devour Yan Xiaobao, while others were excited about the fact that Yan Xiaobao would soon become divine. Watching Yan Xiaobao, Cai Jie's eyes sparkled, and he immediately sat down to start cultivating. Driven by a deep desire, he had no mood to wait and watch. The desire to become God once again. The desire for revenge for his slain military brothers. Cai Jie knew the more he trained now, the sooner he would become divine.
Everyone had their own life goals, but all felt they had a chance to realize these goals because of Yan Xiaobao. Therefore, no one was jealous of him being the first. The volatile essence in the sky and the earth around them were so dense that their efficiency was a hundred times higher than when they were cultivating in the sacred Beast World.
Seeing Cai Jie sit down to begin cultivation, soon after, everyone followed suit. Taking one last look at Yan Xiaobao still near the formation, each person's eyes filled with resolve. Before entering the formation, they must elevate their strength as much as possible. They owed it to Yan Xiaobao to do their best!
As he watched Yan Xiaobao and the others, the Bull smiled, nodding in approval. "This group of experts is clearly much better than An Hee and his followers. I am glad the Holy Master let us wait for the right cultivator to arrive. Although we were displeased with his arrangements, when the experts are these kids, there is no shame."
Though the Bull spoke loudly, nobody heard what he said. Everyone was completely focused on themselves. Except for Yan Xiaobao, everyone was cultivating, while Yan Xiaobao was slowly struggling with the dense energy trying to enter life formation. He never thought it would be like trying to break through a wall. A wall created by pure energy.
Yan Xiaobao stopped, unable to continue forward for now. Before him was a massive barrier made of energy, and no matter how hard Yan Xiaobao tried to push through, it didn't change at all.
He put both hands on this invisible wall, exerting all his strength to push, but nothing happened. There wasn't even the slightest ripple on this energy wall. Yan Xiaobao felt at a loss for what to do.
"Let's try merging your energy with this wall. Since it's made of energy, if you protect yourself with your own energy, perhaps you can pass through it! Lan Feng suggested, and Yan Xiaobao nodded.
As a layer of Qi gathered around his body, he touched the wall, feeling a slight tremor, but as usual, unable to pass through. It seemed his Qi wasn't strong enough.
Noting that Qi wouldn't do the trick, Yan Xiaobao stepped it up a notch and utilized his spiritual energy. This time the ripple became stronger, but Yan Xiaobao still couldn't pass through the wall. He summoned all his spiritual energy, able to get one hand into the wall but never reached the other side, insufficient to let his body pass through.
