Chapter 1173 Mean!

The moment he opened his eyes, Fang Qiu’s eyes flashed brightly.

On the surface, those characters on the light curtain remained unchanged, but the entire light curtain had been changing continuously.

However, no one had studied it down to the smallest detail.

Just now, Fang Qiu closed his eyes and observed it closely.

He surveyed it with his Divine Consciousness. By touching the light curtain with his Divine Consciousness, Fang Qiu received some feedback. Then he combined it with the image of the light curtain he kept in his brain. As expected, he spotted the changes occurring on the light curtain.

It was an exchange of energy flow.

The energy within the light curtain traveled at an exceedingly fast speed so that no one could notice any changes. What they caught was the same picture.

Even with his powerful Divine Consciousness, Fang Qiu could only perceive the change in the light curtain bit by bit and then synchronize it with the image he kept in his mind.

The images flashed continuously, one after another and it took him three hours to complete one round!

Except for Fang Qiu, the others also had great strength, and the four patriarchs were even more capable. However, compared with Fang Qiu, their spiritual forces were far inferior.

Therefore, even if they could sense the change, their perception speed was not as fast as Fang Qiu’s.

From what he had perceived, Fang Qiu could detect that many character patterns changed at the same time on the whole light curtain, instead of singly.

After careful observation, he discovered something else.

Those changing character patterns were like the people in the Combined Attack Sword Formation that he had obtained. As the formation changed constantly, all nine people would also change in every aspect.

The key to passing through this light curtain must lie in these changes!

Fang Qiu finally figured it out.

With its enormous velocity of energy flow, this light curtain was not something that an ordinary person could break through. Even if everyone on the scene focused their energy on one spot of this light curtain, they couldn’t forcibly break through this thin layer of light.

The light curtain was a formation.

Since he couldn’t break the formation, he could only find an opportunity to pass through it!

When he thought of this, Fang Qiu turned around and cast a quick look at Lin Qingyi, the head of the Peace Faction.

As the person who discovered this secret place, Lin Qingyi must have been observing the light curtain for a long time in the past. Beyond that, he must have discovered the secret of this light curtain long ago. Otherwise, he would not have said that this light curtain was a formation, and he would not have agreed that John Doe’s formation was similar to the light curtain’s.

However, this fellow released no further details about it. Instead, he had been sitting cross-legged and observing it since he arrived.

It seemed he was determined to get a head start.

He wanted to find a way to pass through the light curtain before John Doe.

What a pity.

He did not succeed.

Sure enough. He failed after spending so many years on it. Then, this time, how could he make it within one day?

Fang Qiu glanced at the others and found most of the people’s eyes were closed.

It was evident that the majority had caught the critical feature of the light curtain, but no one said it out loud. They all kept this major new discovery to themselves.

“Humph, since you like making progress behind closed doors, let’s see who will locate the Life Door in this formation first!”

He muttered to himself.

Fang Qiu immediately closed his eyes and began to break the formation.

Since he had grasped the Combined Attack Sword Formation, Fang Qiu could crack this formation fast.

The two formations were similar, so the information on the light curtain must have the same pros and cons as the Combined Attack Sword Formation.

Fang Qiu hadn’t practiced the Combined Attack Sword Formation before.

Nevertheless, this Combined Attack Sword Formation was passed down along with the divine sword. Therefore, Fang Qiu remembered everything about the formation very clearly. He knew and understood it way better than He Gaoming and the other eight people.

Therefore, he could easily find Life Door and Death Door in the formation.

Soon after confirming the change of the light curtain, Fang Qiu figured out the form of the light curtain formation and spotted the Life Door of the formation easily.

It was within the left side of the curtain, about one-third of the entire light curtain.

There was an opening.

He could directly pass through the light curtain by wrapping himself with internal Qi.

Fang Qiu opened his eyes again.

He kept quiet about his discovery.

His face was as expressionless as before.

Because everyone had closed their eyes to meditate, the light curtain had not been activated for a long time.

So, Fang Qiu stood up.

He walked up to the light curtain.

With a light tap on it, he activated the light curtain again.

Looking back, he found that everyone’s eyes were still closed. Almost immediately, he began to summon up his internal Qi secretly. Then he swayed slightly and darted directly to the Life Door that he had just found.

“Swish.”

There was an abrupt sound.

“I’ll go in first. Take your time.”

After that, John Doe, blocked by the light curtain, suddenly disappeared!

It was as if he had never been there at all.

At this moment, all the others present opened their eyes in unison.

Though their eyes were closed, they had been paying close attention to John Doe and Lin Qingyi.

They thought John Doe was just going to activate the light curtain, so they didn’t take it seriously. However, much to their surprise, John Doe vanished in no time.

Everyone was stunned.

“This scoundrel went in just like that?”

“Damn it! I should have kept an eye on him!”

“This kid is as slippery as a loach. If we don’t keep any eye on him, he would be gone.”

Everyone broke out in curses.

After giving vent to their anger, they turned their heads to look at each other.

“Do you remember the place where he just disappeared?”

“I only remember the general location, but I don’t remember its exact location.”

“It should be on the left.”

They asked each other.

They all shook their heads in the end.

No one got it.

Indeed, Fang Qiu guessed it right. After he closed his eyes and used his Divine Consciousness to sense the formation, everyone else gradually discovered this method too. Therefore, they were all studying the light screen’s energy changes just now.

They all knew John Doe had gone forward to activate the light curtain, but they did not pay any special attention to him. As a result, they could only recall the general location where John Doe was just now and did not know where exactly the entrance was located.

However…

Only one person had fixed all his attention on John Doe since he came here.

This person was Lin Qingyi, the leader of the Peace Faction!

He was fully aware that even if they managed to trace their way to the light curtain formation, it would be hard for them to find its Life Door. The only one who could break the formation had to be John Doe.

Therefore, from the moment they came here, Lin Qingyi appeared to have been sitting cross-legged and studying the characters on the light curtain, but in fact, he had been secretly watching John Doe’s every move.

As a result, he clearly saw John Doe’s exact position when he passed the formation.

Of course, though he knew the correct location, Lin Qingyi had decided to keep it to himself. He sniggered and stood up when the others were all talking at the same time. While no one was looking, he also rushed into the light curtain with a swoosh.

“What the fuck!”

“Another one ran away?”

“Back then, a furtive youth ran away, and now a shifty elder got away too!”

Once again, everyone let loose a torrent of abuse.

While cursing, they still remembered to ask about the location.

“Did you get it this time?”

“Where did he go in?”

“Where is the entrance?”

Once again, they hurled questions at each other.

Like before, they shook their heads, indicating that they couldn’t recall the location.

Unexpectedly…

As soon as they stopped denying it, everyone moved quickly. With a swoosh, they all rushed to the same place.

It was the Life Door, the entrance of the light curtain formation!

They gathered together at the entrance.

Each of them stared speechlessly at the other.

Awkward yet sheepish smiles instantly appeared on everyone’s faces.

…

Lin Qingyi passed through the light curtain.

“Whoosh.”

He rushed forward as quick as a flash and soon saw the back of John Doe, who was some distance away. Immediately, he called out, “My young friend John Doe, you’re so mean!”

“Didn’t you play the same dirty trick on others?”

Fang Qiu looked back and found that only Lin Qingyi had followed him, so he immediately sneered at him

However…

Hardly had his voice faded away.

“Swish, swish, swish…”

One figure after another, the rest of them came through the light curtain quickly.

In the blink of an eye, all of them came in.

“Who is mean?”

Diwu Mingchuan rolled his eyes at John Doe and Lin Qingyi and said, “Both of you are dishonest and unkind!”

Hearing this comment, John Doe, who was looking at Lin Qingyi, shook his head and saluted him.

Lin Qingyi hurriedly saluted back.

“Join the club.”

They said that together and laughed at the same time.

Then, the others also came up to Fang Qiu.

They strained their eyes to look ahead.

But what appeared in front of them was an area as desolate as the Gobi Desert!

All of a sudden, everyone frowned at the sight.

It was completely different from what they had imagined.

In their minds, an ancient relic should be located in a place similar to a fairyland. No matter how bad it was, it should at least have something magnificent!

How could it be as barren as the Gobi Desert?

They wondered if they had come to the right place.

Several of them took deep breaths and found this place had plenty of Qi of Heaven and Earth. They felt as if they could swim in this sea of Qi of Heaven and Earth.

“This area seems vast.”

Master Numinous spoke up, “Since we’ve all come in, let’s find our own opportunities. I’m leaving now.”

With this, Master Numinous moved and flew off in one direction.

When the others saw this, they looked at each other and went their separate ways in different directions.

Fang Qiu also chose to fly rapidly for some distance in a certain direction while wielding his Divine Consciousness to observe the situation around him. When he was sure that no one was after him, Fang Qiu stopped.

He continued to check out his surroundings with his enhanced Divine Consciousness.

Sure enough, he locked onto a place where the Qi of Heaven and Earth seemed abnormal.

Without thinking too much, Fang Qiu immediately headed for the site.

Before long, he arrived at the place with the unusual Qi of Heaven and Earth. Fang Qiu stopped to check the area cautiously, but he couldn’t sense anything. The abnormal Qi of heaven and earth was floating in midair. Although he could feel it, he couldn’t locate it at all.

He knew that something was wrong here, but he couldn’t figure out where it went wrong!

Fang Qiu felt depressed and cheerless.

He had no choice but to search the surrounding area.

However, after searching for a long time, he couldn’t find any clues. He was surrounded by the Gobi Desert, and there was nothing else.

“What’s going on?”

Fang Qiu raised his eyebrows and muttered, “Just now, we were on the glacier. In an instant, the land became the Gobi Desert. Where am I now? And what on earth is the so-called ancient relic?”
