Chapter 1784: Chapter 1784: Heaven and Earth Eight Trigrams Array

Formation?

The Thousand Illusion Sage suddenly stopped, startled by the appearance of a formation. He had heard from the Sect Leader of the Thousand Illusions Sect that there were formations in the Dan Shen Sect, possibly set up by Ye Qiu. Now, it seemed that was indeed the case.

"Both an Alchemist and an Array Master, tsk tsk... If you focused solely on the Alchemy Dao, wouldn’t you be even more terrifying?"

The Thousand Illusion Sage inwardly mocked Ye Qiu for being foolish, as the most taboo thing in cultivation was distraction and being unfocused.

Yet Ye Qiu, who had a talent for refining divine pills, also devoted his mind to studying formations, multitasking, which was unfavorable for either path.

On the Origin Continent, people choose their paths based on their talents and preferences. Alchemy Dao and Array Dao require special talent, and few chose them; even among those who did, most focused on just one. Very few, like Ye Qiu, walk both paths simultaneously.

The Thousand Illusion Sage was unaware that Ye Qiu was cultivating Alchemy Dao, Array Dao, and martial arts together, multitasking with three.

Glancing at the large formation, the Thousand Illusion Sage’s eyes showed a hint of curiosity. A formation set up by an Alchemist? He was unafraid. "I shall enter your formation to kill you."

Whoosh.

With a flash of light, the Thousand Illusion Sage entered the large formation.

As he stepped in, the previous scenery vanished, as if he had entered a desert, where he could see massive cacti and vast stretches of sand.

"An Illusion Array?" The Thousand Illusion Sage’s divine sense was strong. He knew the current scenery was mostly an illusion, indicating he had entered an Illusion Array.

"Tricks of a petty kind!" The Thousand Illusion Sage was unmoved, curious to see how Ye Qiu would deal with him using formations. If the current Illusion Array aimed to defeat him, it was pure fantasy.

Suddenly, the Thousand Illusion Sage felt the shifting sands beneath his feet, as if sinking into a swamp.

The Thousand Illusion Sage laughed lightly, "Trying to scare me?"

Faced with the flowing sand and him sinking, the Thousand Illusion Sage remained still, letting himself be covered by the sands.

"Boy, I am a Sage. Any illusory realm is useless against me. If you’re relying on illusions to make me struggle for survival, you’re mistaken. You don’t know how terrifying a Sage is." The Thousand Illusion Sage vanished into the desert, swallowed by the sands.

Indeed, the Thousand Illusion Sage was as immovable as a mountain, not only surviving but escaping the illusion. His mindset was firm as a rock.

Ye Qiu, observing this, shook his head. Illusions to a Sage were mere comedies; with a sage’s mindset, such simple illusions could be seen through in an instant.

"Truly useless," Ye Qiu sighed. He had anticipated this scenario; he didn’t intend to rely on the Illusion Array to kill a Sage, but at least hoped it could exhaust some of its power. Yet, it seemed he had underestimated things.

Sages are not so easy to deal with, even a Sage nearing the end of their lifespan is extremely formidable.

The Illusion Array was just a small part of a larger formation. To confront a Sage, Ye Qiu had prepared more than just one formation.

Since the Illusion Array failed, Ye Qiu immediately activated another killing array.

The Thousand Illusion Sage looked at the surrounding fog, still composed. He knew Ye Qiu was hidden somewhere in the shadows, and said calmly, "Ye Fantian, do you want to play hide and seek with me?"

"Unfortunately, I don’t have the time to play with you here. Your formations can handle regular Martial Artists, but they are far from enough to deal with me, the Thousand Illusion."

After saying this, the Thousand Illusion Sage attacked the air above him, and Ye Qiu’s newly activated killing array was quickly broken.

What!

Ye Qiu’s eyes narrowed; the Thousand Illusion Sage broke the formation far quicker than he had imagined, with just a single strike.

With a lesser killing array damaged, Ye Qiu appeared in the Thousand Illusion Sage’s sight. Staring at Ye Qiu, the Thousand Illusion Sage sneered, "You’re dead."

With that, he rushed towards Ye Qiu at high speed. Ye Qiu couldn’t care less, hastily forming hand seals. Instantly, formation symbols floated out, changing the surrounding scenery once more, and just as the Thousand Illusion Sage was about to reach Ye Qiu, he suddenly found Ye Qiu had vanished again.

"Hmm?"

The Thousand Illusion Sage paused, frowning. This time, Ye Qiu vanished without a trace, even his sage-level spiritual power couldn’t detect him, as if Ye Qiu had never existed in this world.

The Thousand Illusion Sage didn’t know that Ye Qiu had activated a new formation while immediately retreating into the Tai Huang Bell to evade the Sage’s pursuit. He had used this method before and was now quite adept, confident he wouldn’t be exposed.

"Interesting, you can actually evade a Sage’s detection; you’re indeed not an ordinary fellow." The Thousand Illusion Sage scanned around coldly, but his divine sense, which had just swept all around, couldn’t find any trace of Ye Qiu. Even upon thorough re-checking, he found nothing.

This was the first time since becoming a Sage that he couldn’t detect a martial artist with a realm lower than his own.

At this moment, the Tai Huang Bell turned into gravel, situated not far from the Thousand Illusion Sage’s feet, allowing him to see the Sage clearly, though the Sage couldn’t see him.

"I hope this Heavenly Eight Trigrams Array can inflict some damage on him," Ye Qiu muttered inside the Tai Huang Bell.

As the Thousand Illusion Sage continued to search for Ye Qiu’s presence, a sudden gust arose within the formation, blowing his hair wildly and making it hard to stand.

"The power of the formation?" The Thousand Illusion Sage realized this strange wind must come from the formation he was in.

"Hmph, when I break this formation, let’s see how you continue your antics." The Thousand Illusion Sage attacked upwards again, but nothing changed; he was still there.

Hmm?

The Thousand Illusion Sage was a bit startled; despite his Sage power, he couldn’t break through the formation with brute force. This formation was something.

Promptly, he attempted to break open the formation violently again, striking repeatedly, the powerful Sage force spreading in the sky, yet the scenery remained unchanged, proving he was still within this formation.

The Thousand Illusion Sage was enraged. Could an Alchemist’s formation really trap him? He had ten thousand doubts in his mind, but this time, he didn’t stop with just a single hasty strike but continued to assault it.

Boom boom boom!

A series of attacks, enough to punch a hole in the sky, and yet still the Sage couldn’t break through the formation surrounding him.

This time, the Thousand Illusion Sage began to be surprised.

In the shadows, Ye Qiu, seeing the Thousand Illusion Sage unable to leave the Heavenly Eight Trigrams Array, was overjoyed. "The Heavenly Eight Trigrams Array has such power to trap a Sage, what a delightful surprise."

Before setting up the Heavenly Eight Trigrams Array, Ye Qiu wasn’t sure if it would work against a Sage. The array was a creation of his, built upon the foundation of the Eight Trigrams and merging many formation books he had studied. To his amazement, its effectiveness was beyond expectations, capable of trapping a Sage.
