Chapter 341: The Mantis Stalks the Cicada

Among the Three Laws Of Elixirs, Weapons, and Arrays, Minghe was most familiar with the laws of weapons and arrays. In the tactical formation, he believed he wasn't in the least lesser than Sect Leader Tongtian. Although the vital force of this tactical formation was pretty thin, he still sensed it quickly. Moreover, he was familiar with this vital force. It was relative to the art of the five elements that his second disciple Kong Xuan had practiced.

Judging from the vital force, it should be the Primordial Five Elements Formation. In the attack and defense level, this formation could not stand out. But it was based on the primordial Five Elements, and it could both attack and defend. Moreover, the Five Elements were closely connected, mutually generating and restricting each other. In the tactical formation, with the Five Elements interchanging, it could even form a World of Five Elements. Thus, it was more or less a good tactical formation.

When Kong Xuan practiced the art of the five elements, Minghe also studied the Primordial Five Elements Formation. Thus he was familiar with it. But he was surprised that it would appear in this Out-of-Law Area. Still, he didn't take it seriously. What he cared for was whether it was a human-made or natural Formation.

If it was natural, then it must have been protecting something. That might be, a fairyland or valuable treasures, which Minghe was very interested in. If it was human-made, however, that could only mean he wasn't alone here, and the other person was worth looking into. That person either came from the Untainted Land, or from other worlds in the Chaos.

Either way, Minghe wanted to find out. Driving a Puppet of the Blood God, he went along the thin vital force. He only encountered some Rare Beast of Chaos alone or in groups of twos on the way. Moreover, he found out that this region was relatively peaceful, thanks to this tactical formation.

It was no wonder. The Power of Five Elements formed the world. They mutually generated and restricted to produce everything. It was also the same outside the Chaos land. In the Out-of-Law Area where the Divine Law was lost, it would certainly become peaceful under the Primordial Five Elements Formation. But judging from the density of the Power of Five Elements, it was a new Formation. That meant it was most likely human-made.

Soon, he came near the Formation. Judging from what he knew, he believed it was artificial because a few amounts of Rare Beasts were seen on the way here. Obviously, they were lured away. Since the person was cautious like this, there must have been something good. Otherwise, why bother?

Minghe walked out of the Puppet of the Blood God and fixed it tightly. Seeing the Primordial Five Elements Formation, he was intrigued. Because judging from the Formation's power, it was either based on primordial spiritual roots or a spiritual treasure such as Primordial Flag of the Five Regions. Strong as it was, it couldn't stop Minghe. He walked straight in.

Within it stood a towering mountain, Minghe had seen one like this before, but he never entered. He even named this type of mountain metaphorically: beast nest. Ten thousand Rare Beasts occupied the mountain he had seen. Two or three dozens of The Origin vital force hid therein. He would certainly walk away from it.

He took his time to break in secretly. He was surprised to see a beast nest where few Rare Beasts of Chaos inhabited. Instead, he sensed an on-going fight within. One was the Rare Beasts; the other was the person that built the Formation. Moreover, it looked like more than one person.

”Interesting.” Minghe thought. He smiled and stepped into the Void. Inside the Formation, although the Divine Law was still running wild, the wildness was much lesser. Thus, Minghe could barely exert the Law of Space here.

Faced with the Void space turbulence, he smoothed it with a wave. But, it was still dangerous even with the Law of Space. He must take cautions in case the turbulence blew him out. That way his whereabouts would be revealed, which would be embarrassing.

There was a giant cave inside the beast nest. Minghe discovered that the whole nest was built out of the Original Stone of Chaos. That alone appealed to Minghe. Efforts were required if he carried them home. But if there were any chance, he wouldn't have missed it.
