Starting as a Snake: Defying Heaven with Invincibility-Chapter 66 – Eighteen linked formations

In the enclosed room, Xiao Bai emerged from Xiao Long's sleeve, leaping onto the table, looking around curiously as she examined the room.

Xiao Long retracted his human avatar back into his Inner World, and his true form appeared in the outside world. He then took out the formation disk of time and studied it closely.

He always felt that this object was far more than just a simple formation disk.

Xiao Long had always had a deep understanding of formations, and he felt that the function of this disk seemed too trivial.

Reflecting on the events of the previous day, what use was this function?

If he had comprehended the Laws of Time, he certainly wouldn't have created something like this.

Moreover, the material of this disk was extremely poor, just an ordinary stone polished roughly. Under what circumstances would such a thing be made?

Xiao Long fell into deep thought.

"Huh?" Xiao Bai noticed the formation disk in front of Xiao Long and curiously hopped over.

"Xiao Bai, do you know what this thing is?" Xiao Long asked.

Xiao Bai stared at the time formation disk, her brows furrowed slightly, and murmured, "This thing looks so familiar, I feel like I've seen it somewhere before."

Hearing this, Xiao Long immediately perked up.

"Think carefully," Xiao Long urged.

Xiao Bai gazed at the formation disk for a long time before saying in confusion, "I don't know why, but I feel like there's something inside it."

"Something inside!" Xiao Long was startled, countless thoughts flashed through his mind like a revolving door being opened.

A huge white fox corpse, a crude time formation disk!

That's it!

This formation disk was deliberately left by the white fox before it died!

If it were him, Xiao Long, with only a moment of life left, what would he do? He would definitely leave behind his life's ultimate skills to pass on to future generations.

So that white fox, in its dying moments, casually dug up a stone from nearby, leaving its relics hidden inside. Everything made perfect sense!

As for the formation disk, it was just a disguise because it didn't want anyone to easily obtain what it left behind.

"It must be like this!"

A gleam of brilliance flashed in Xiao Long's eyes.

"I must find out what treasure is hidden inside here."

Xiao Long began to delve into the formations within it.

For tricks like this, Xiao Long was well aware that it was just a matter of breaking the formations inside to obtain the relics.

The relics left by celestial beings and demons from the Heavenly Realm must be astonishing!

Although Xiao Long hadn't comprehended the Laws of Time, he had touched upon some basics when he absorbed the essence blood of the Temporal Ancestral Dragon in his past life. Moreover, his formation skills were unparalleled in the world, and he refused to believe that he couldn't crack even a miniature formation disk left behind casually by someone else.

Xiao Bai, seeing Xiao Long fully engrossed, quietly sat by his side, silently watching over him.

As time passed, Xiao Long's eyes lit up as he finally found a clue.

He discovered something astonishing.

The formation within the disk wasn't just one, but eighteen, each linked to the next, formations within formations, each more complex than the last. Clearly, it was deliberately left for someone to decipher!

"Haha! It is indeed like this. Since I can discover the secrets within, it means it's not unbreakable. This month, I'll take on these eighteen linked formations." Xiao Long was thrilled.

Such a contest wasn't about cultivation or soul power, but about understanding formations.

As for the Laws of Time, they seemed less important.

"Brother Xiao, can you evolve the formations inside for me to see? I might be able to help."

At this moment, Xiao Bai suddenly spoke.

"You have knowledge of formations too?" Xiao Long looked at her in surprise.

"No, I just feel that the formations inside are very familiar, maybe I can see something." Xiao Bai blinked her eyes at him.

"Alright then, I can only imitate the shape, but I can't delve deeper."

With that, Xiao Long used True Qi to outline extremely complex routes in mid-air.

His mind was entirely focused on the formation disk, replicating the formation paths in the air.

Xiao Bai stared at the formation diagram in the air, lost in thought.

…………

While the two were studying the time formation disk, outside, the pill auction was in full swing, attracting nearly half of the major figures from Tianfeng Kingdom to Fire Cloud City.

Some rival factions met in Fire Cloud City, inevitably leading to conflicts, some even escalating to fights. If it weren't for City Lord Han Wuxie advancing to the Innate Realm and personally intervening to kill a few troublemakers, Fire Cloud City would have descended into chaos.

After that, everyone restrained themselves, quietly staying in their accommodations, waiting for the pill auction to begin.

In the center of Fire Cloud City, in a luxurious courtyard, a young man sat under a pavilion playing chess with an elderly man in a grand robe.

The young man had a handsome appearance, with sword-like eyebrows slanting upward, exuding sharpness. He looked under thirty, yet his aura had reached the Innate Martial Master realm.

"Master, do you think there's really a fourth-grade alchemist in Tianfeng Kingdom?"

Surprisingly, this young Innate Expert addressed the elder as Master.

"There wasn't before, but now it's hard to say. Besides, I'm about to advance to the fourth grade myself." The elderly man stroked his beard and chuckled softly.

This elder was none other than the top alchemist in Tianfeng Kingdom, the Tianfeng Pill King.

The young man was the Tianfeng Pill King's eldest disciple, the foremost figure among the younger generation of the Wang family in the capital, Wang Ming'ao.

Wang Ming'ao made a move on the chessboard, glanced at the Tianfeng Pill King, and couldn't help but ask, "Master, with your influence, couldn't you just inform Wan Jianfeng, and he'd obediently deliver the pills to you? Why go through the trouble of coming to Fire Cloud City yourself?"

"Hehe, you're still young and don't understand the rules of Qianlong Bank."

The Tianfeng Pill King placed a chess piece down and said leisurely, "Don't be fooled by the fact that the Qianlong headquarters doesn't care about the branches' affairs. When it comes to matters of principle, it's not easy to handle. Years ago, the previous sect master of the Hidden Poison Sect caused a ruckus at an auction in Hidden Poison City, snatching a treasure and killing the branch leader, only to end up dead without a trace that very night."

"What!"

Wang Ming'ao was shocked, "The previous sect master of the Hidden Poison Sect, wasn't that the Ten Thousand Poison King? Back then, the Ten Thousand Poison King was at the pinnacle of the Prenatal Realm, the Innate Martial King. I wondered why he suddenly disappeared; so that's what happened!"

The Prenatal Realm is divided into Innate Martial Master, Innate Martial Lord, and Innate Martial King. The further one progresses, the greater the difference in strength between each level.

An Innate Martial King is among the top existences in the capital!

The more Wang Ming'ao thought about it, the more astonished he became. If the Qianlong Bank could make an Innate Martial King vanish without a trace, did that mean they had an Emperor Realm expert?

"Back then, the Hidden Poison Sect was even stronger than the Beast Taming Sect. As for now... hehe, it's better not to mention it." The Tianfeng Pill King sighed with a smile.

The two continued their chess game.

At this moment, a gentle breeze swept through, and after it passed, a middle-aged man in a Fire Cloud robe appeared in the courtyard.

"Fire Cloud Sect, Xue Wuqing, pays respects to the Tianfeng Pill King!" The middle-aged man knelt down.

The Tianfeng Pill King ignored him, continuing to play chess with Wang Ming'ao. It wasn't until the game ended and dusk approached that he glanced at Xue Wuqing.

Xue Wuqing remained kneeling on the ground, motionless.

"Xue Wuqing? I've heard of you. In today's Fire Cloud Sect, it seems you're the only one who can stand out." The Tianfeng Pill King said indifferently.

"Speak, what brings you here to see me?"
