Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 527 - A Mirrored Sky

Lin Wu had been watching the 15 disciples of the frozen cloud sect wandering around in the empty space for about ten hours now.

"Man, this is boring. Speed this up!" Lin Wu ordered.

~shua~

The slider at the bottom started to move ahead at a faster speed than before, and Lin Wu could see the scenes progress faster. But the more he saw, the more he was shocked.

"Goddamn, they've been here for a week now?" Lin Wu said upon seeing the time stamp in the corner.

There were basically no instructions given to them and thus they were left grasping for empty straws. But it was obvious that even with the combined brainpower of the fifteen disciples, it was hard for them to think of a solution.

Even Lin Wu himself had not grasped anything on his own but guessed that it was probably due to the fact that he was just observing a recording. Eventually, he saw the disciples give up.

"UGH! This place is insane! What are we even supposed to do?" one of the female disciples shouted in frustration.

"We cannot give up, we don't have a way to go back either." The senior brother said.

"I'll die like this." The female disciple said.

"No, you won't. This is an illusory array, and our bodies are still in the shrine. It's just our minds that are here." The Nascent soul realm senior brother said.

"Even still… we are unable to do anything for a week now. We can't even cultivate to spend time, there is no spirit Qi here either." The Female disciples said.

Upon hearing this, even the Nascent soul realm disciple knew that there was little he could say to convince the female disciple. The situation truly was complex, and it was unknown if they would awaken on their own after a certain time period or if they would be stuck here the entire time.

"I give up as well." Another disciple said before sitting down on the ground.

~THUD~

"I do too!" A third one spoke.

~THUD~THUD~THUD~

One by one, over half of them gave up and sat on the mirror like ground. 

~Sigh~

The senior brother knew that there was little to do now and he decided to sit down for now as well.

"Fine… we'll rest for a bit. Perhaps we'll be able to figure out something after a while." The man said.

With that said, the others also sat down while some laid to take a nap. Just like this, more time passed, and soon it had been twenty days since they had arrived here.

"Yeah… this is definitely a boring trial." Lin Wu said.

But just as he said this, something happened.

"What the!" One of the female disciples suddenly shouted.

Lin Mu recognized her to be Xiaoge, the disciple from the Tian clan. 

"Oh? What did she get?" Lin Wu said in wonder.

"What happened, Xiaoge?" the Senior brother asked.

The others were alerted as well, and they all came to check. But upon seeing here they were a bit confused.

"Um… what are you doing?" The Nascent soul realm senior brother asked.

Currently, Xiaoge was in a rather strange position. She was lying on the ground with her face perpendicular to the ground. She was on her side and looking towards the distance.

"Come! I think I found something!" Xiaoge said whit excitement.

"What is it?" They all asked.

"Lay down like me, then you'll see!" She said hurriedly.

While they found it to be strange, they thought it was worth a try nevertheless. They had been stuck here for over twenty days now and they were truly getting frustrated now. They were willing to grasp anything they would get.

And thus, all of them followed Xiaoge and laid on the ground. They were now lying in a straight line with Xiaoge in the center and were looking towards the distance.

"Whoa!" Cao Du said in surprise.

"This…" The others were shocked as well.

"No wonder we could not find anything… we were looking in the wrong direction." The nascent soul realm senior brother said.

Lin Wu switched to their point of view and finally understood what this was all about.

"Oho! That's a clever way of hiding the formation." Lin Wu said.

Currently in front of him, the clouds were on the left side, while the reflective surface was on the right side. This was due to the way they were all lying on the ground. Then, between these two surfaces was the horizon.

When standing, the horizon didn't really look that different, but once they laid down like this, they discovered that the horizon looked far vast than it was before.

Not only that, but the clouds in the sky that seemed to be randomly distributed before were actually not so. The clouds in the sky and the reflective ground actually linked together when seen in the ever expanding horizon.

It was like a fractal effect and Lin Wu felt like he was staring into an infinity mirror. 

The Nascent soul realm senior brother and the rest of them started to find patterns within the infinite horizon and eventually figured out that it was a formation array that was hidden within it.

"I GOT IT!" The Nascent soul realm senior brother said.

"What?" The rest asked.

"Okay, everyone needs to lie in a circle. We need to observe every side of the world and see how it exactly is. Perhaps then we will be able to figure out the rest." The Nascent soul realm senior brother said.

"As you command, Senior Jun." They all said in unison.

"So his name is Jun… weird they never used his name in all this time." Lin Wu muttered. "Too respectful I guess…" he added, remembering just how the etiquettes were in worlds like these.

Lin Wu then watched as all of them lay in a circle and figured out the formation array. It was very wide and only after seeing it from all angles did they grasp its node.

"YES! Now we can do it!"
