Strongest Abandoned Son

After Ye Mo brought this up, everyone realized it. They clearly chose another direction, how did they meet those cultivators?

“Did we go into a maze where we seem to be going around but we actually haven’t moved from the spot?” Tang Beiwei asked worriedly.

“It’s a formation, and we definitely didn’t stay where we are because the spirit chi is getting denser as we go,” Ye Mo said.

No one spoke, everyone agreed with Ye Mo. This was probably a formation and the only person who knew formations was Ye Mo.

Ye Mo fell silent for a long while before saying, “Let’s not walk first, let me think of a way.”

Then, Ye Mo set up a defense formation with formation flags.

No one disturbed Ye Mo, they all sat down on the side cultivating or looking at the dense clusters of Spirit Devouring Bugs.

A few hours later, another howl sounded. Everyone knew that those two relying on the defence formation probably reached their limit and got devoured.

Lin Yiban subconsciously shivered, if he didn’t come with Ye Mo and took Xu Tong down here himself, that would have been his fate as well.

Ye Mo didn’t care about the outside, he had calmed down and listened to the earth carefully. He was sure there was a maze formation but his formation skills were limited and he couldn’t see it.

Ye Mo knew it was pointless to try scan his spirit sense out – with a formation master like this, he could easily set up a few spirit sense maze formations to distract him.

Since eyes and spirit sense didn’t work, he used his ears. He didn’t believe that the guy would even be able to distort sound. He didn’t believe the guy would expect someone to sit down amongst the Spirit Devouring Bugs and take a few hours to listen.

No cultivator would have the mood to sit down and listen amongst these Spirit Devouring Bugs. But Ye Mo could as he had Shadowless and the Three Birth Chant that could allow him to focus.

Time went past slowly and Ye Mo had been sitting for half a day.

No one was worried, Luo Ying, Qingxue and Tang Beiwei and them went wheverever Ye Mo went. If Ye Mo died, they wouldn’t want to live as well. The rest of the people knew that only Ye Mo could take them out of here.

Ye Mo got up and started taking out formation flags.

He heard a gurgling sound from one direction, it wasn’t very rhythmic but it sounded from the direction they just came from. All other directions were very silent except for the shifting sounds of Spirit Devouring Bugs.

Ye Mo set up an anti-disruption formation in that direction and indeed an faint area of visibility showed up. Before, they couldn’t see very far but after Ye Mo set up this formation, they could see further.

Ye Mo smiled and knew his method was right. He turned around and said to everyone, “It’ll work if we head along this path.”

After a few kilometers, Ye Mo sat down and listened once again, changing directions and setting up another formation before going.

They walked and stopped like this for five days.

This time, Ye Mo didn’t set up a formation as the gurgling sound was right in front of them. But no matter how he looked forward, there were still just a bunch of fine sand-like Spirit Devouring Bugs. When he walked forward, the gurgling sound would weaken, but when he retreated it would grow loud again.

Seeing everyone look at him, Ye Mo suddenly said, “If I’m not wrong there should be a stealth formation here, but my formation skills are too low and I can’t tell.”

“Husband, how about you tell us the direction of the formation and we can attack together,” Ning Qingxue suggested.

Ye Mo clapped. “Yeah, why didn’t I think of this? No matter how powerful a stealth formation is, it’s just a stealth formation. No matter how weak our attacks are, it should show it.”

Then, Ye Mo fired a fire ball and said, “It’s there, everyone attack…”

Ye Mo saw his fire ball was stopped mid-air, meaning he was right. This was indeed a stealth formation and it had defence capabilities.

Lin Yiban and them rejoiced and released their magic artifacts.

With the two body condensation state cultivators Lin Yiban and Xu Tong joining in, their attacks went up a caliber.

But Ye Mo stopped attacking as he saw the outlines of a formation. It was a type of stealth formation he had never seen. The means with which the formation was laid were unimaginable. Some formation flags were hidden mid-air being nourished by spirit chi, they didn’t need any spirit stones at all.

Ye Mo set up another defence formation around everyone and started sitting down and studying this formation.

Rumblings sounded and more and more of the formation showed with everyone’s attacks but it didn’t seem to break at all.

As soon as everyone stopped attacking, the stealth formation would gradually recover.

Facing such a powerful formation, even Lin Yiban and Xu Tong were shocked. They had never seen a formation like this and this was mainly a stealth formation.

Everyone saw Ye Mo study the formation and knew they had to keep attacking to show more of the formation so Ye Mo could study it.

Ye Mo had completely immersed himself in this formation. This formation means was no weaker than his. But Ye Mo knew he was only a formation great master, he hadn’t formed his own unique system yet.

Another day passed and Ye Mo started to make formation flags.

After he was done, he said to everyone, “No need to attack anymore, this formation isn’t mainly a defence formation but with our power, we won’t be able to break it even if we attack for a month.”

Ye Mo knew clearly that this formation was a top grade formation. Even truth realisation state cultivators needed to use some means to break it, much less body condensation state.

After everyone stopped, Ye Mo started throwing down formation flags. Moments later, he took them back and threw them in other places.

He tested this hundreds of times before suddenly stopping.

“What’s wrong?” Tang Beiwei asked worriedly.

“I understand.” A completely new set of formation theory formed in Ye Mo’s brain. Position wasn’t the only mean to calculate formation, there was also space and maybe even time. But right now, he didn’t even understand space, much less time.

But that didn’t matter, Ye Mo had a new outlook on formation. He didn’t stop at all as he threw out more formation flags.

After a moment, a passage was revealed before them.

“It’s open!” Everyone rejoiced. They were still a little worried despite having Shadowless here. These Spirit Devouring Bugs killed even body condensation state cultivators, much less low level cultivators like them.

But no one went into the tunnel, they were all waiting for Ye Mo. Ye Mo closed his eyes and thought for a while before opening them. He knew he had reached level seven formation grand master. His formation means had now become a new system. As long as he worked hard, it wouldn’t be hard to surpass Ji Ling qian bei.

Thinking about Ji Ling, Ye Mo’s fury towards Infinity Sect and Lightning Cloud Sect increased crazily. He swore that once he reached truth realisation state, he would wipe them off the face of the continent.

Once he collected his mind, Ye Mo saw everyone looking at him and he immediately said, “There’s no danger in there, you guys go in first. I’ll go last.”

Ye Mo needed to go last as he need to collect the formation flags. This place wouldn’t be a secret soon and he didn’t want to leave this passage for others. Even the Spirit Devouring Bugs might use this passage.

As Ye Mo and them walked in the tunnel, Ye Mo took back the formation flags and the tunnel disappeared again.
