The night scene resembled clear waters, and the shadows loomed over the vast northwest land.
A heavy snowfall covered the whole prairie, giving it a silvery white sheen and it looked very enchanting.
A full moon hung in the sky. In the moonlight, a figure clothed in cyan walked briskly in the seemingly unending field of snow. A breeze blew against the green cloth, but it was only a slight one and merely lifted up a corner of it and did not blow on his face.
A big Silver Wolf tailed behind him meekly, uttering a low whimper from time to time.
”Little Du, we've been walking for a very long time. Is it here?”
”Huh, huh, huh, al-al-al-almost, almost there, there!” After a few exhalations, Little Du replied in a human voice. Although his speech was not fluent, it would have been a shock to anyone who heard it. What did it mean when an evil beast was able to converse in the human tongue?
Demons were different from evil beasts.
Some monsters and evil beasts outside of the Seven-deity Regions were born conversant in the human language, because their ancestors were powerful monsters from long ago. Thus, not only were they able to converse in the human tongue, but they were similar in appearance to human beings as well. But Little Du was different. It had only a slight trace of the evil beast's bloodline from ancient times. His ancestors had lived in the Misty Mountain, and in fact, they were almost indistinguishable from ordinary wolves. There was actually no difference at all. Generally speaking, this kind of evil beasts were able to converse in the human tongue only when they broke through the Mysterious Realm and became an Individual Immortal. To assume a human shape was even more difficult, because they have to go through the purification of Thunder Tribulation and become a Genuine Immortal first. However, Little Du whose strength was between Level Eight to Level Nine was able to speak in the human tongue ready. It was really amazing.
”Here?” Zhou Bao suddenly stopped. In front of him was a huge canyon covered with snow. As he approached, he found that the canyon was deep and foggy, but Zhou Bao's magical eyes were able to see through it.
He looked directly and saw the layout of the canyon clearly.
There was not much difference between this canyon and the other canyons in the northwest. They were all deserted and desolate. The only difference was that there was a well at the bottom of this canyon.
Yes, a well, dug entirely by human effort but it had dried up already for years.
It was totally unnatural to have a well located in such a place.
That was why Little Du notified Zhou Bao about it.
”Good job, Little Du!” Zhou Bao nodded. In a flash, he descended to the well at bottom of the canyon.
It was really an ancient well. Its mouth was narrow, made of ordinary bluestone, and was nothing special. Zhou Bao touched it and found it to be extremely cool, due to the surrounding environment and also the material it was made from.
tanding at the mouth of the well, Zhou Bao couldn't sense any abnormality in the well.
But that did not mean it was any ordinary well.
”Eh?” Pressing himself to the edge of the well, Zhou Bao spotted an abnormality. A faint force seemed to seep out from the seemingly ordinary bluestone, pitting itself against his strength, which ensured that the well's edge held fast.
This was not what ordinary bluestones could do.
”It's a formation! This well seems to be protected by a formation!” Reflecting on this, Zhou Bao walked away from the edge and began to look around intently. As expected, a moment later, he noticed something awry, and extreme shock replaced the easygoing expression on his face.
”A formation, completely set up by the essence of the world? How could this be?”
No wonder he was shocked. Because as far as he knew, there were many formations in the world, but they all needed materials and tools. For example, his Yin and Yang Dust Formation, though powerful, required an enormous amount of materials. Even a mediocre small formation required a lot of materials. Here, however, this formation, which was of medium size but exquisite and arcane, was totally made up of the essence of the world, without even using any forms of material. How could that be?
If it could be done in this way, it would be possible to bring along all types of formations with you, and once you reached a place and did some configurations with the essence of the world, the formation would be completed. This was totally insane!
Zhou Bao's heart began to thump wildly. He was not very proficient in formations, but he could grasp the aftermath of this method of setting up any formation.
”If I master this method of setting up any formation, there is no one I need to fear!” I can travel around with the Yin and Yang Dust Formation and be totally invincible. I can wipe out the damn Divine Wind Palace!” he murmured deep down in his heart. However, he dared not touch those formation suppressions, but circled around the mouth of the well twice. Then he picked up a stone from the ground and threw it into the well where it landed with a plop.
