Everyone ascended, but I didn't get on board

Chapter 118 Only Bring the Younger

The group from Shuangxing Academy had only just arrived when the group from Hehuan Academy arrived soon after. They were closer to Luoyang Town, so naturally they arrived faster. Hehuan Academy clearly attached great importance to this newly discovered secret realm, as the group that arrived were all elders at the Fusion and Great Perfection stages.

"President Jin." Yu Xian greeted the leading woman and nodded to the elders behind her one by one. The president of Hehuan Academy also came in person.

"Dean Yu," the other man responded with a fist-clasp. He glanced at the entrance to the secret realm nearby and said without hesitation, "What do you think of this secret realm?"

"The formation at the entrance is extremely powerful, and you can't approach it easily." Yu Xian didn't hide anything and directly recounted what he had seen in the report. "Also, the formation is extremely complex. We've observed it for a while but haven't been able to figure out what it is. Does your academy have any clues?"

Dean Jin shook his head and said very bluntly, "Our academy is not good at magic arrays." They are all physical cultivators, "Is there any way to take it by force?" They can help break the array by force.

"No!" Yu Xian hurriedly shook his head and said, "This entrance will release a kind of red lightning, which will turn anyone who touches it into ashes." Although they didn't know whether the Mahayana stage could block it, they didn't dare to take the risk easily.

"Then what should we do?" Dean Jin did not expect to be stopped at the first step. You know, once the secret realm is revealed, the sooner you enter it, the better. If you continue to wait, it will not only be their two academies that will compete for such a significant phenomenon.

"Now I'm afraid we can only..." Dean Yu sighed, turned his head and looked at someone in front of him who had not spoken a word. His eyes clearly said: The ancestor is watching you.

Juanshan Shou didn't notice his little movements, but was discussing with Qiu Ci next to him through telepathy.

"Master, do you think these magic arrays are..."

"The Chixiao Formation, the Liyuan Formation, the Suchen Formation, and a few others that cannot be seen, but they should all be full-level formations." Qiu Ci replied. In short, this is a very complex multiple formation.

"Sure enough." The old man from Juanshan had obviously noticed something. After sensing it for a while, he continued, "Why haven't I noticed the core of this formation? It should be there."

"Maybe it's damaged, or there are other ways to immunize it." Qiu Ci understood that he was asking about the control program. According to the custom of Blue Star, for such a complex multi-magic array, a control and verification authority should be set up to open the entrance, but there is none here. The two of them even clearly felt that there was a piece missing in the middle of the array.

It is only possible that due to years of disrepair, the original program has broken down, causing these magic arrays to attack indiscriminately.

"In this case, we can only force a hole open and break in." Juanshan Shou frowned.

"Is it difficult?" Qiu Ci was a little worried.

"It's okay." Juanshan Shou was confident. "Although I can't dispel these formations, it's no problem to temporarily open the entrance."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Qiu Ci did not stop him.

The Guardian of the Mountain then turned to look at Dean Yu and the others and said, "I will temporarily open a gap in this magic circle, but it will only last for a few breaths. This secret realm is dangerous and unknown, so you should stay here and don't go in."

"Ah? But..." Yu Xian was stunned. Since they were already here, weren't a few more people going in?
He was about to object when Dean Jin, who was standing next to him, seemed to have guessed the other person's identity. A flash of surprise crossed his eyes, and he quickly stepped forward, clasping his fists and saying, "Senior, could you allow a few people from our hospital to enter as well?"

The old man from Juanshan glanced at the other party but did not refuse. "Yes, but I cannot take care of your safety. Whether it is a blessing or a disaster depends on your luck."

"Thank you, senior." Dean Jin nodded, his expression becoming more serious.

"Ancestor..." Dean Yu still advised worriedly, "Are you planning to go in alone? How about I accompany you? At least there's someone to look after you. It's too risky to go in alone." "Who said I'm alone?" The old man from Juanshan glared at him and said directly, "Of course I'm going in with... the little girl up there. Come in with me."

He changed his words halfway through, turned around and pointed at Qiu Ci.

Dean Yu and several Pavilion Masters turned their heads to look over, then shook their heads even more firmly.

"No, no, no, Chu Xiaoyou is still a child!"

"Yes, Old Ancestor, please stop joking. How can she, a Spiritual Transformation Stage cultivator, go to such a dangerous place?"

"She is the most core disciple of this generation in our academy. What if something goes wrong?"

"Yes, for the future of the academy, you must think twice!"

Several people were talking to each other, and they all thought that the ancestor was being ridiculous. They looked at him with some wariness, as if they were looking at a human trafficker. Some people even quietly pulled Qiu Ci behind them, fearing that she would be abducted.

The old man from Juanshan was completely speechless, but he couldn't tell them that it was the Master who took the initiative to go in. He could only say, "That's why I brought her in. This can be considered as an experience. With me protecting you, why worry?"

"..." Everyone still looked dissatisfied. You just told Hehuan College that you couldn't take care of their safety, so why is it okay now?
"Alright!" The old man from Juanshan felt a little annoyed by the accusing looks from the others. He frowned and said, "The Pavilion Master is in seclusion and hasn't come yet. Who among you can match her in formation skills? Could it be that I, as a master, can no longer be the master of my disciples? Don't mislead me. Come... forward and enter the secret realm with me."

They were stunned for a moment, then they remembered that Chu Xiaoyou had been registered under the name of the ancestor and was indeed his disciple. This matter was requested by them.

I just... regret it a lot. Is it too late to ask her to leave the sect now?

"Yes, Master." It was obviously too late, because Chu Qiuci had already walked swiftly to the side of Juanshan Shou.

Everyone had no choice but to give up, but seeing Qiu Ci's eyes were still full of worry, they... turned around and began to rummage through the storage bag.

"Friend Chu, this is an eighth-level Hui Huan Dan. It can save your life in an emergency."

"I have a set of ninth-level sword talismans, which contain my strongest sword. If you encounter an enemy, throw it out and it can kill a Mahayana cultivator."

"Take the Spiritual Heart Talisman and the Delusion-Breaking Talisman as well. Perhaps there are some confusing illusions inside. Having them can help you stick to your Dao heart."

"And this, this is a top-grade defensive magic weapon that can only be broken by those at the Heavenly Man level."

"And this..."

Seeing that they were taking more and more things, as if it would never end, the old man Juanshan could not help it. Is he, an academy ancestor at the Heavenly Man Realm, so unreliable?
"Alright, alright, go...go up and break the formation, disciple, follow me." The old man from Juanshan pulled Qiu Ci and turned to head towards the entrance.

The two stopped about ten steps away from the magic circle. This was the closest distance that Qiu Ci calculated would not trigger the formation. After observing for a while, the old man Juanshan began to chant the spell.
