Chapter 220 Smoothing Out
The golden light emitted by Bai Ke's Heavenly Eye had already allowed him to see through the true nature of the formation. He looked at the dancers swaying their hips before him.
Though they were breathtakingly beautiful, their eyes were lifeless, like rows of pink skeletons. Besides this, Bai Ke also saw a sword formation arranged around him through his Heavenly Eye.
Each sword pointed its tip at Bai Ke, emitting beams of cold light. Seeing this, Bai Ke felt a chill run down his spine, as if thorns were pricking his back.
If he hadn't possessed the Heavenly Eye, and had he been overcome by lust or anything like that, those unseen, cold swords would likely have pierced him. It was truly a close call!
Thinking of this, Bai Ke mobilized all his spiritual power, took a step outward in a semi-circle with his right foot, and with a shake of his arms, used the first move of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, "The Dragon Regrets".
Two golden dragons, radiating dazzling golden light, flew out from Bai Ke's palms and pounced towards the sword formation. However, they didn't pounce aimlessly.
They entered the formation according to the Heavenly Eye's indication, their momentum unstoppable. Before long, the sword formation was disrupted by the two golden dragons, creating a breach.
The two golden dragons did not stop there, but instead broke through the formation by exploiting the loophole, and both of them let out a high-pitched dragon roar.
Then, they flew out of the roof and went directly to the sky above Tianxiu Peak, where they hovered.
Bai Ke, who was standing nearby, seized the opportunity and followed Jinlong out of the formation.
Tian Xin and Ling Xin'er, who were outside the formation, were stunned and their attention was drawn to the two golden dragons that had suddenly appeared.
A soft laugh came from nearby: "Elder Tian, I've broken your formation."
Upon hearing the sound, Tian Xin looked over and saw Bai Ke standing in front of her, a slight smile playing on his lips, as if showing a hint of disdain.
"When I was breaking Elder Tian's formation just now, I suddenly had some insights into it. I wonder if Elder Tian would be interested in hearing them?"
Actually, Tian Xin was a little taken aback when she saw Bai Ke come out. While she wouldn't say her formation was invincible, she was confident she could handle a young and impetuous junior like Bai Ke.
This formation itself uses people's seven emotions and six desires to trap them inside. In addition, she made some improvements and added a sword formation around it.
As long as a person falls into the various desires set up in that formation, the sword formation will be triggered.
Logically speaking, a disciple like Bai Ke, who is a promising young man, shouldn't have been able to see through her formation so easily, especially so quickly.
While Tian Xin was still in a daze, Bai Ke suddenly said he had some insights. Tian Xin had already come to her senses and looked at Bai Ke, saying, "What insights do you have? Tell me!"
"I was just inside the formation. The first test was to assess my courage. The tornado was indeed very realistic."
Within the formation, a disciple's spiritual power is certainly not available. Since it's a tornado, there's no point in me struggling or trying to dodge.
It's better to face and accept it calmly. I reckon that if I had taken a step back then, if I had been timid or fearful, I would never have been able to get through that ordeal.
However, when the disciple reached the second level, he was greeted by a group of stunningly beautiful women. Well…
"What about the second challenge?" Tian Xin pressed, seeing Bai Ke hesitate.
"The beauty in this second level is beautiful, but she lacks spirit. I noticed this problem when I observed the formation carefully."
The disciple believes that since this formation is meant to incite people's inner demons, the people or objects in the illusion must be just like the real ones, and no one should be able to detect any problems.
Elder Tian is a practitioner of this formation and has never eaten human food. Presumably, this is because he has no experience with matters of lust.
That's why there were flaws in this fantasy. So, what I want to say is that Elder Ruotian wanted to make your formation perfect.
I once obtained a book in an ancient cultivator's cave. The book said that if one wanted to cultivate formations related to desire, one should...
One must retreat into the mundane world to seek inspiration or opportunity. Only then can one gain enlightenment.
Upon hearing this, Tian Xin's face turned bright red with anger. Bai Ke, however, remained smiling and composed in front of Tian Xin.
Seeing her master so angry at Bai Ke, Ling Xin'er quickly went to Bai Ke's side and gently tugged at his sleeve, signaling him to stop talking.
Tian Xin was trembling with anger at Bai Ke, pointing at him but unable to speak for a long time. Bai Ke's words just now were a blatant sarcasm directed at Tian Xin.
It means, "You've never even been in a relationship, yet you want to trap him with the illusion of desire within the formation? That's ridiculous."
I suggest you go find someone to date, understand human desires, and then try to master your array formations.
After a while, Tian Xin finally regained her composure. She looked at Bai Ke and snorted heavily, saying, "Well, Bai Ke, you dare to tease me now? You're really something!"
"This disciple dares not presume. As I just said, I was merely offering some insights into Elder Tian's formation."
Now that I have fulfilled the conditions you previously stated, Elder Tian, I hope you will also abide by the promises we made.
"Hmph, don't worry, I, the dignified leader of Tianxiu Peak, would not go back on my word with a junior like you!" At this point, Tian Xin shifted her gaze to Ling Xin'er.
Looking at the two people in front of him, one was his beloved student, and the other was the son of the person he loved. He felt instantly agitated and said, "Enough, enough!"
"I will no longer interfere in your affairs. Do whatever you want! Let it be!" After saying this, Tian Xin flicked her sleeve and disappeared from Bai Ke and Ling Xin'er's sight.
"Senior Brother Bai, that's my master! How could you say such a thing about her! That's too much!" Ling Xin'er became anxious when she saw her master leave in anger after being confronted by Bai Ke.
Bai Ke, however, shrugged indifferently and said innocently, "How can you blame me? I was just trying to give your master some advice and share my personal opinion."
Who knew your master had such a bad temper? He just turned and left!
"You can't talk to Master like that! No wonder Master is angry! I'm ignoring you!" Ling Xin'er retorted angrily, turning her head away and ignoring Bai Ke.
Seeing that Ling Xin'er was really angry, Bai Ke grabbed her shoulders from behind and gently comforted her in her ear, "Okay, I was wrong."
I shouldn't have spoken to your master like that, okay? Don't be angry!
However, Ling Xin'er didn't listen to Bai Ke and remained silent, refusing to even glance at him.
Seeing this, Bai Ke had no choice but to continue coaxing, "Fine! I'll apologize to your master properly when I see her another day and ask for her forgiveness."
