Chapter 761: I Trust You

As the name suggested, this type of formation was passed down from ancient times!

As a matter of fact, Ancient Divine Formations were a lost art or else the Mage Imperial Universe warriors would have felt puzzled. The name itself implied might. Anything that could be related to Divinity would naturally be powerful.

In the universes, there were some perilous lands and historic sites that contained Ancient Divine Formations. Those were practically unbreakable. Some of them were dissolved naturally after long years, but they could not be broken down by men.

If it really was an Ancient Divine Formation over the mountain, the odds of it being cracked by the warriors could be very low unless they were going to stay here and pound at it for decades or hundreds of years…

The Semi-God Realm warriors of the Mage Imperial Universe were unwilling to accept the fact. They stopped merely for one moment before they started to blast at it again. This time, they employed Profound Meanings.

However, all the attacks, no matter how powerful they were, were devoured and digested by the formation. As soon as the attacks came in contact with the haze, they disappeared. There was no explosion, no fluctuation, or anything else. What was more… the density of the haze did not decrease for one bit.

“Keep going!”

The red-head old man said, biting his teeth in anger. It had been the time for one incense stick to burn since they began. Yet, there was no reaction from the haze. The warriors looked at each other speechlessly, not knowing what to do.

Leave?

The Mage Imperial Universe had sent its best warriors. By leaving, they would become jokes for the other four major universes and five minor universes. This was a type of failure that they could not tolerate.

But what could they do to crack the Ancient Divine Formation if they stayed?

They were wrecking their brains. An old warrior said after a moment, “I think there is an old man in the Neverland Universe. He understands Ancient Divine Formations very well. How about we ask him to come and have a try?”

Wu Guangde tried to remember the man described. All of a sudden, his eyes glowed as he said, “You mean the Infinity?”

“Yes!”

The old man said, “While he is not capable in fights, but he has been studying formations for over two thousand years. If even he cannot crack the Ancient Divine Formation, then there is nobody else that can do it.”

“Okay!”

Wu Guangde waved to a man and said, “Go and find the Infinity. You can agree to his price as long as it is with reason. We can talk about it later after we crack the formation.”

A Semi-God Realm warrior left. The mountain was not far away from the City of Chaos, but it would take him some time to reach the Neverland Universe. Wu Guangde was not worried that the Infinity would say no. The Neverland Universe was a minor one, and people there dared not to turn down Mage Imperial Universe’s requests.

“Go on!”

Wu Guangde said. They had nothing better to do here. They might just as well keep blowing the formation. What if they accidentally crack it open?

…

Inside the haze and outside the haze, it was two different worlds!

After entering, Lu Li realized that the inside was free of haze. He could see everything clearly. He flew the Wicked Bead around the Zen Mountain and found the valley.

The valley was incredible. It had picturesque views with bamboos, flowers, ponds, streams, pavilions, and cabins. The valley constituted a land of idyllic beauty. Adding to the beauty was a pretty girl playing Chinese zither in a pavilion. The music was melodious, echoing in the valley.

“Yin Qingsi.”

Lu Li smiled because he somehow felt his mind was at peace when he saw that stunning face of hers. He looked up and could not see any Semi-God Realm warriors through the haze. He felt more at ease now.

Yin Qingsi was playing the Chinese zither leisurely. Were the Semi-God Realm warriors unable to break down the formation? The Crippled Zen Master was that capable?

Lu Li flew down the Wicked Bead and parked it outside the pavilion. He didn’t go out, though. Instead, he used psychic power to check the valley. His discretion had stemmed from instinct. He had been in so many dangerous situations, and any carelessness could lead to his ultimate destruction.

“Young Master Lu!”

Yin Qingsi stopped playing. She turned her head to the Wicked Bead, smiling. Standing up, she said, “Welcome to the Zen Valley. It is a safe place here. Please trust me.”

After a short moment, Lu Li teleported out from the Wicked Bead directly. He stood outside the pavilion, nodded, and said, “Young Lady Yin, long time no see.”

Yin Qingsi’s smile blossomed when she realized he had stepped out and put so much trust on her. She waved her hand, and a cyan-robed young man took the Chinese zither away. Then, some maids sent over some wine and dishes. Yin Qingsi made an inviting gesture and said, “Young Master Lu, I owe you this. Please take a seat and have a sip of the plum flower wine that I have brewed myself.”

Lu Li sat across the table. He picked up a goblet with pink wine and smelled it, exclaiming, “I can smell the plum flower. It is my great honor to taste a wine that Young Lady Yin has brewed yourself.”

“This is quality wine!”

Lu Li took one sip, and he was intoxicated. He kept on appreciating the views leisurely and free of concern as if this was his backyard—he had long since forgotten the more than a score of Semi-God Realm warriors high above trying to kill him.

The haze was indeed a powerful Inhibition Formation. They heard nothing inside even though a group of Semi-God Realm warriors was pounding and attacking. All Lu Li could hear was the clattering of the streams.

With the help of psychic power, Yin Qingsi could tell that Lu Li was drinking comfortably, and he seemed to have lost himself in the wine. She smiled an amazing smile and said, “Young Master Lu, you are an interesting man. Aren’t you worried that the Inhibition Formation of the Zen Valley cannot stop them? Or… that I will put you in harm’s way?”

Lu Li acted quite at home. He poured himself some wine and finished another goblet before he said simply, “I trust you!”

The three words spoke volumes. Yin Qingsi blushed. She picked up her goblet and said, “Here is to you, Young Master Lu, for your answer.”

They clicked their goblets together and drank up. Lu Li looked around and praised, “The mountain is beautiful, the water is clear, and the person is nice. Only an idyllic place like the Zen Valley can nurture such a beautiful girl like you.”

Yin Qingsi blushed again. She shook her head and said with a smile, “Beauty is only a superficial matter. Would you be unwilling to befriend me if I was not beautiful?”

“I am not only speaking about beautiful looks!”

Lu Li gazed into her and said, “But also the beauty of the mind. Leng Wuxin, the young lady of the Leng Family, is also pretty, but her mind is not as pure as yours. Then again… it is human nature to pursue beautiful things. The valley is so amazing and you live comfortably here, aren’t you? Say that there is a beautiful skin and an ugly skin, would you have picked the ugly one?”

Yin Qingsi contemplated his words. She poured herself a goblet of wine and said, “I have spoken inappropriately. I will drink this as an apology.”

Lu Li drank with her. Then, he spoke in seriousness, “Young Lady Yin, I hear that a skilled master lives here in the valley. Would I be so lucky as to meet him?”

Yin Qingsi shook her head and said, “Forefather hasn’t received anyone for years. Young Master Lu, please feel free. You can live here and don’t mind those people outside. They… don’t have the ability to disperse the haze.”

“That is impressive!”

Lu Li exclaimed. Not even twenty-something Semi-God Realm warriors could crack the formation. Was the formation a divine formation?

Lu Li nodded and said, “Young Lady Yin, you have saved my life yet again. I don’t think we can ever figure out who owes who now.”

“Then don’t.”

Yin Qingsi smiled gently and said, “It is not important to determine who helps who between friends. I have no friends since I was a kid. Young Master Lu, you are the only one.”

Lu Li finished his wine and said, “Then it is my great pleasure.”
