The umbrella canopy was a hundred feet tall, seeming half-transparent, invisible to the naked eye, yet tangible. The spring rain that fell from the sky was completely kept out.
Xi Xi looked up in awe, gazing at the divine mushroom-shaped canopy, and exclaimed with a “wow.”
“This is the Divine Sect’s Looking Nature Divine Formation, only a Divine Array Master can set it up… It’s very formidable,” Gong Yuanliang hurriedly explained to the astonished Xi Xi.
“I know, my grandpa is a super powerful Divine Array Master!” Gong Yang Xiu immediately replied.
Gong Yuanliang gave him a sidelong glance, “My aunt is even more formidable!”
“My grandpa is formidable!”
“My aunt is the most formidable!”
“My grandpa can soar to the clouds and fly across the sky!”
“My aunt can eat…”
Xi Xi quickly tried to smooth things over, and with a touch of pity, took out a handful of sunflower seeds, giving three to each, Gong Yuanliang and Gong Yang Xiu.
“Stop arguing you two, have some sunflower seeds to cool down or the referee grandpa will scowl at you!” said Xi Xi.
Thinking of Zhang Qing Zheng’s scowling face, Gong Yuanliang and Gong Yang Xiu stopped their dispute and quietly began to crack the sunflower seeds.
Below the high platform.
Li Che silently watched Gong Yuanliang and Gong Yang Xiu, who had gathered close to Xi Xi, and narrowed his eyes.
It seemed as if he saw their black hair slowly turning yellow.
“The descendants of Gongyang Junior Supervisor and Gong Shaojian?”
Li Che exhaled a breath.
No longer dwelling on these matters, although Gong Yuanliang and Gong Yang Xiu showed signs of yellowing hair… it wasn’t entirely yellow and was still acceptable.
Li Che had serious matters to attend to; he raised his head to look at the divinely expanding mushroom umbrella canopy.
“A divinity formation…”
A formation based on the Observation Skill…
A divinity formation, only a Grandmaster of Divine Arrays could set up.
Like the Woodcarving Master, it was a special profession developed based on Divinity.
This was the first time Li Che had seen a Grandmaster of Divine Arrays’ setup. His gaze swept over the area at the foot of the Divine Sect’s Golden Light Peak where seven childlike wood carvings, alternating between crying and laughing, happy and angry, were placed. The wood carvings were where the divine formation’s chessboards were located.
Li Che was indeed curious about divinity formations, but having never delved into them, naturally could not study further.
He refocused his attention; under the cover of the divinity formation, all cultivators retracted their Divinity, daring not to release it as it would affect the assessment.
No wonder Li Qingshan had said that this was the best time to detect the Corpse Curse Mark.
Even the Diviner Ancestors of the Five Great Clans had to retract their Divinity, daring not to release it. Even if he conducted the detection, he would not be discovered.
They were protecting the safety of Li Che, the one performing the detection.
Had Li Qingshan asked him whether his detection method required using Divinity, and after Li Che said it was unnecessary, did they come up with this plan?
At the thought, the Dao Fruit of Chess Saint within his chest began to tremble slightly!
Li Che closed his eyes.
In an instant, the “Eight Extremes Corpse Curse Seal” that had been suppressed in the center of the Heaven and Earth chessboard suddenly began to tremble violently. The dark and gloomy Death Qi formed ripple-like storms, expanding with a thunderous force.
Li Che’s eyes snapped open, and within his gaze, it was as if networks of chessboards crisscrossed endlessly.
The release of Death Qi from the Eight Extremes Corpse Curse Seal was like a river tide being parted, tumbling and surging towards all directions.
It swept over the bodies of those sitting figures.
Your next chapter awaits on empire
As silent and gentle as the spring breeze, it failed to attract anyone’s attention.
But in Li Che’s eyes…
Instantly, echoes of the Corpse Curse Mark began to slowly emerge and dot upon the chessboard, like the blooming mandrake flowers of Hell.
First, there was one, then two, three, four…
As if an invisible hand was placing pieces on the chessboard in mid-air, splashing Death Qi like flowers.
Gradually…
There were more!
Hm? So many?
Li Che’s eyes slightly narrowed, and a look of severity deepened in his gaze.
…
…
Atop the high platform.
Nan Lihuo’s white robe fluttered, and his black hair danced slightly in the spring breeze. Suddenly, he seemed to sense something and his brow furrowed.
His gaze swept across the crowd, but he found no anomalies.
He faintly felt a probing force.
Yet, he could not pinpoint the source of the surveillance!
“Is someone spying on me?”
Who could be so audacious?
Nan Lihuo’s brow furrowed slightly, the Godly Pattern on his forehead twisted, bursting into a radiant glow.
“Who is it?”
His eyes suddenly became sharp, and his powerful Divine Sense burst out silently, without causing any fluctuations in the Divine Array, and not even the nearby Elder God Phenomenons could detect it, let alone Li Qingshan.
His Divine Sense spread out like a fan, sweeping across the area to detect any surveillance activity.
But he found nothing.
“Nothing?”
Nan Lihuo leaned back in the Taishi Chair, his gaze suddenly fell on Li Qingshan’s face, pensive.
…
…
Zhang Qing Zheng’s scholar robe clung to his body as three of the Elders ignited their Divinity, activating the Looking Nature Divine Formation.
He took a step forward in his cloth shoes, formed a Seal Formula, and his eyes instantly shrouded with a thick purple hue!
The man seemed to be connected with the Divine Array, and in an instant, his eyes swept over the hundred or so Supreme Spiritual Children and Upper Class Spiritual Children on the high platform!
“Innate Divinity, I observe with divine penetration!”
“Hmph!”
“Rise!”
Zhang Qing Zheng’s hair flew about, his visage twitching slightly, and the next moment he extended a finger toward the crowd of spiritual children from afar.
Boom—!
Atop the high platform, all the spiritual children held their breath, completely unlike when Li Qingshan gauged their Divinity.
Xi Xi felt something within her wanting to burst forth, irresistibly drawn by the canopy above, uncontrollable!
