Chapter 852: Cooperation (2)

Clearly, the overall difficulty had increased by more than one level.

“What should we do? Among us Immortal Venerables, our understanding of the Great Dao of Light and Darkness is superficial. We can’t determine which stone slab’s weaker!”

Immortal Venerable Yao’s fair face was filled with worry. Light, darkness, Yin, Yang, and reincarnation were all top-notch Heaven and Earth Great Dao. There were very few Immortal Venerables who comprehended this.

Immortal Venerable Nanji gritted his teeth and said, “We can only barge in!” “No! You can’t force your way in.”

Immortal Venerable Yao flatly refused, “If we barge in, we might be able to resist the power of the Great Dao of Light and Darkness, but the other Immortal Venerables can’t.”

Immortal Venerable Bing and Immortal Venerable Yue were silent.

Among the humans, other than the Immortal Venerables Yao, Nanji, Qi, and Yu, the two of them were second only to the first-rate. The remaining ten human Immortal Venerables were relatively weak. If they barged in, these four regions would completely rely on luck. Perhaps after they barged through, there would only be a few of them left.

Immortal Venerable Yao looked at Shen Ping. “Shen Ping, do you have a way?” Shen Ping indeed had a way. When he entered the fourth area, he had already locked onto the safe location of the huge rock through the special fluctuation of the bracelet. It was at the tenth stone slab not far from them, but it was difficult for him to explain, so he could only say, “I agree with Senior Nanji’s words. This light and darkness stone slab contains the Great Dao of the Light and Darkness, and none of you, including the juniors, have comprehended the Great Dao of the Light and Darkness.

“So there was nothing to be done but leave it to fate and luck. However, I’ve always been lucky and am willing to lead the way.”

The other Immortal Venerables immediately shook their heads.

“Ridiculous! What’s the use of a junior leading the way?!”

“Immortal Venerable Nanji, you should lead the way.”

“Yes, Fellow Daoist Nanji, you lead the way. We can trust you.”

Immortal Venerable Nanji frowned. He felt that Shen Ping’s words seemed to have some other meaning. But Immortal Venerable Yao said, “I believe in Shen Ping.”

Immortal Venerable Luan also said, “I also believe in Shen Ping. If we let him lead the way, our luck might be good.”

Immortal Venerables Qi and Y looked at each other helplessly. Although they valued Shen Ping, they still believed in strength when it came to matters related to their safety, even if Shen Ping was the one who brought them out of the third area.

Immortal Venerable Nanji thought seriously for a moment, “How about this? The heaven and earth power of these stone slabs in front is slightly weaker. Let’s use twenty stone slabs as the boundary and split into three teams to explore. We’ll walk in three different directions. If we exceed twenty stone slabs, we’ll immediately approach the other teams.

“If one team senses and finds the location of the boulder, the other two will hurry over.”

The other Immortal Venerables thought for a moment and chose to agree.

There were a total of 32 Immortal Venerables in the team.

Among them, Nanji, Yao, and Qi each led a team to form an immortal formation. Although this would greatly weaken the defense, according to the pattern of the power of the first four stone slabs, each could last until 20 stone slabs.

Several Immortal Venerables did not want to stay in Yao’s team. They were unwilling to leave their lives in the hands of a junior. However, due to Immortal Venerables Nanji and Qi, they could only brace themselves and follow.

Immortal Venerable Yao did not let Shen Ping walk in front, but every time she walked up a step, she would ask Shen Ping which direction he should choose.

“Left, right, right.”

He didn’t say he’d stop for a divination in one direction.

When they reached the tenth stone tablet, a huge rock suddenly appeared before him.

The Immortal Venerables behind him revealed pleasant surprise in their eyes. The way they looked at Shen Ping changed. It could be said that they were lucky to find the huge rock the first time, but this was the second time. Could it be that this human prodigy was really someone favored by luck?

The other two teams hurriedly rushed over when they saw that Shen Ping had actually found the location of the huge rock so quickly.

“Haha, Shen Ping, it seems that your luck is indeed better than ours,” Immortal Venerable Nanji laughed loudly. There were more than a hundred light and darkness stone slabs in the entire area. The further he went, the stronger the power of the Great Dao of Light and Darkness. He was originally mentally prepared for an Immortal Venerable to die in this area, but in the end, he found a safe spot after only a dozen steps.

The Immortal Venerables who had originally mocked Shen Ping hurriedly put in a few good words. With their strength and status, it was obvious that they approved of Shen Ping in their hearts for them to say such words. After all, luck was also a form of strength. Shen Ping being able to bring them to find the huge rock was a form of powerful strength.

“We’re still two-thirds of the way to the valley, which means that there are still eight areas left. If every area is as efficient as these two areas, it won’t be a problem for us to pass through in a year. Alright, let’s recover first and wait for the Immortal Venerables of the Devil Clan and Spirit Race to rush over,” Immortal Venerable Nanji said.

The other Immortal Venerables nodded one after another.

The hundred Immortal Venerables of the Devil Clan, the Spirit Race, the Flame Race and the Demon Race in the lead were the strongest and had the easiest time resisting in the first and second regions. Coupled with the fact that the humans had walked in front, they easily arrived at the third region.

After crossing the thunder field, these Immortal Venerables also stayed on the huge rock to rest. The few Immortal Venerables who were originally waiting naturally joined the team of the Devil Clan and the Spirit Race.

But when they had recovered, they still did not leave the huge rock and waited. Clearly, they wanted Immortal Venerable Nanji and the others in the fourth region to continue leading the way while they sat back and reaped the benefits.

When they saw that Immortal Venerable Nanji and the others did not continue forward, the Immortal Venerables of the Devil Clan, the Spirit Race, and the others knew that their plan had failed.

They had no choice. They could only enter the fourth area. After all, no matter who it was, they could not afford to waste time in the valley. If the stalemate continued, everyone would be finished.

When all the Immortal Venerables gathered at the safe spot of the huge rock, Immortal Venerable Nanji smiled faintly and said, “You guys can continue to wait here. We can wait until the weak period passes and see who can last longer under the outbreak of the poison.”

The Immortal Venerable leading the Spirit Race said coldly, “Stop talking nonsense. It’s best if you humans explain how to cooperate next. Otherwise, everyone will wait here together.”

Immortal Venerable Nanji snorted, “Simple. Hundreds of us Immortal Venerables will form the Four Symbols Heaven Raising Array. This array can be divided into four teams, the Vermillion Bird, the Black Tortoise, the Azure Dragon and the White Tiger. More than 30 Immortal Venerables of our human race will form the White Tiger Team. You will form the remaining three and form a complete array formation with each other to resist the power of the Great Dao in the fifth region.”

The Four Symbols Heaven Raising Array was a relatively famous powerful defensive array formation. Almost every Immortal Venerable knew it. Even if they didn’t, they could comprehend it in a short period of time.

The Immortal Venerables of the Spirit Race, Devil Clan, and other races secretly transmitted their voices before nodding in agreement. This array formation could complement each other. Moreover, even if one corner was missing, the other three could continue to be maintained. Most importantly, in this array formation, every team existed independently and did not have to be affected by the other teams.

After a brief run-in several days later, all the Immortal Venerables of the human race, Devil Clan, Spirit Race, and other races set off and stepped into the fifth region. As soon as they stepped in, all the Immortal Venerables were completely enveloped by a layer of fog. In this fog, it was difficult for every Immortal Venerable to sense the aura of the surrounding Immortal Venerables.

Clearly, the mist was a kind of great Dao of the world.

“Activate the array immediately to resist the Great Dao of the Mist!”

The humans had people who were proficient in the Great Dao of Mist, and so did the Devil Clan and the Spirit Race. Therefore, after a short period of panic, all the Immortal Venerables recovered their connection through these Immortal Venerables that were good at it. Then, they formed the Four Symbols Heaven Raising Array.

The huge phantoms of the Vermillion Bird, White Tiger, Azure Dragon, and Black Tortoise suddenly condensed in the sky above the valley, scattering the surrounding fog.

Almost at the same time, Shen Ping sensed the location of the huge rock through his bracelet. However, he did not make a sound and secretly gave Immortal Venerable Yao and Immortal Venerable Luan, who believed him, a look.
