Chapter 98: Ancient Chi-amassing Formation

Ye Chen wondered what exactly the function of this boulder formation was as he could not understand why all these combatants seemed so crazy about it. He walked along the path between the boulders and kept moving forward in an exceptionally cautious manner as Ye Chen was worried that he might accidentally do something forbidden.

After having cautiously walked along the path for some time, Ye Chen found that he was perfectly safe as he did not encounter any dangerous situation.

“Little Tanuki, have you ever come across such a formation elsewhere?” Ye Chen asked. Little Tanuki was very knowledgeable, so whenever he encountered something he could not understand, he would ask Little Tanuki about it.

Little Tanuki shook its head and responded with a few squeaks.

Ye Chen understood part of its reply. Little Tanuki said that although it had never seen such a formation, it could be sure that this formation was harmless to humans.

Ye Chen stopped worrying and continued to find his way toward the center when he heard that this was a harmless formation. The closer he got to the center, the richer the Celestial Chi around him grew. Eventually, it felt as if his chi flow was also starting to react to his surroundings as his Celestial Chi kept circulating and growing stronger inside him. His Astral Body seemed to be stirring restlessly as well.

Given that it could even affect the chi movement in his body, it seemed like there was indeed something profound and mysterious about this formation.

Little Tanuki suddenly let out an excited squeak as though it had sensed something. Then, it leaped out of Ye Chen’s embrace in a flash before rushing toward the center of the formation.

Ye Chen followed closely behind it. A few moments later, he reached the central part of the formation and a golden round plate with a radius of over ten meters appeared within his view. This golden plate was engraved with numerous mystical-looking patterns. There was a desolate and ancient feeling about these densely packed patterns that made them seem inexplicably magical and stately. Among these patterns, two ancient words consisting of complicated character patterns were engraved onto the plate. Nonetheless, he could vaguely recognize the words “Chi Amassing”.

A Chi-amassing Formation?

Ye Chen understood this intuitively. Could it be that these two words were referring to the gathering of Celestial Chi?

The Celestial Chi here was incredibly rich and dense. Of course, it could not compare with the Celestial Chi contained in Ye Chen’s Flying Dagger. However, this could still be considered quite a useful formation since it could not only affect the flow of chi in his body and immensely increase his cultivation rate but could also strengthen his Astral Body.

Ye Chen walked toward the golden plate and as he stepped into it, his mind immediately became calm and still. This golden plate had a special soothing effect and quieting a chaotic mind.

Ye Chen glanced at Little Tanuki and found it standing at the center of the formation with its eyes slightly shut as though it had entered a strange meditative state.

This was a good place to cultivate. Ye Chen wondered if this formation could help him enhance his cultivation base and break through the Tenth Level as he walked to the center of the golden plate before sitting down to begin cultivating. Then, as the Nine Astra in his dantian started spinning while his Celestial Chi surged around in his body, Ye Chen felt detached from this world as if everything going on outside the formation had nothing to do with him anymore.

As time passed, more combatants and mystical beasts gathered outside the Chi-amassing Formation. After having launched multiple attacks to no avail, some of them finally decided to give up, so a few of them sat cross-legged on the ground at a distance to rest and recover while others left the area.

Du Lang kept staring intently at the formation but never saw Ye Chen come out. He had also repeatedly tried to force his way into the formation and failed every single time, so in the end, he reluctantly retreated.

The battle dragged on and never stopped as more time flew by. Those six enormous evil spirits did not seem the slightest bit exhausted as they diligently carried on protecting and guarding the Chi-amassing Formation.

It was around five hours later when someone in the crowd exclaimed in astonishment.

“The formation is moving!”
