Chapter 162
Chapter 162
In the dark and damp secret room, the lamps on both sides burned slowly.
The first thing that entered Gu Chen's eyes was a vast and majestic formation.
The formation map was complicated, and the Dao markings were as intricate as the stars in the sky. One look was dazzling, and it was the first time Gu Chen had seen something like this in his life!
His expression changed slightly, and he did not dare to move forward rashly, afraid that he would fall into a terrifying killing formation.
He looked straight ahead. On the opposite side of the mysterious formation, a white-haired old man sat on a chair. His clothes were stained with blood, and his aura was weak.
He had a pair of strange eyes, one blue and the other black. One was like a crystal clear sapphire, and the other was like a candle flame that could be extinguished at any time in the wind, dim and lightless.
As soon as Gu Chen entered the room, he rolled his eyes and fixed his gaze on him.
"Don't worry, kid. This formation is not targeted at you."
Old Monster Duan spoke in a hoarse voice.
"What is this used for?"
Gu Chen looked around and asked curiously.
The formation underground looked more complicated than the one he saw in the secret room of the God Creation Pavilion. Gu Chen did not understand formations, but his intuition told him that this formation was priceless.
"It is the Old Man's life's work."
Old Monster Duan smiled sadly. "I thought that the City Defense Formation was impregnable, but you broke it with a large number of talismans. I thought that the True Demon Condensing Formation would be able to kill all of you. Who would have thought that I would encounter such a terrifying demonic beast when I obtained the Yin's Error Yang's Mistake? "
"You're too lucky, kid. Otherwise, the Old Man would not be the one defeated today!"
Gu Chen did not refute when he heard these words of dissatisfaction.
He was indeed lucky today. If the white ape had not followed him, he might not be in this world anymore.
"Activating the True Demon Condensing Formation consumed too much of the Old Man's energy. Once it was broken, the Old Man was severely injured, and had no energy left to fight with you."
"How pitiful! The Old Man wanted to destroy the spirit formation here. No matter what, he couldn't let you succeed. But in the end, the Old Man couldn't bear to do it. "
Old Monster Duan muttered to himself with a trembling voice.
Most of his gaze landed on the formation in front of him, filled with fanaticism and yearning.
Gu Chen couldn't imagine what kind of attraction this array had that this old man was still thinking about it even at death's door.
He didn't think that the other party was pretending to be down and out so that he would underestimate the enemy and then take the opportunity to attack him.
His emotions were real and fiery. For some reason, Gu Chen did not feel that he was a devil at the moment. Instead, he felt like a loyal believer in a certain field.
"Chen Gu boy, the Old Man has a request!"
Old Freak Duan looked at the Dharma Array in front of him for a long time and suddenly said.
Gu Chen had a faint smile on his face. "Old Monster Duan, the winner takes all. You should know that you don't have the right to make a request."
Old Monster Duan shook his head. "The Old Man's request is very simple. I only hope that you don't destroy the spirit formation here."
"This old man spent dozens of years to carve every Dao pattern on this Dharma Array. I spent an endless amount of effort on it."
"You don't know the Dao of array formations, so you don't understand how dangerous it is. Every time a trace of Dao pattern is carved incorrectly, the Old Man's spirit might be injured. In order to build this spirit formation, the Old Man walked through the gates of hell hundreds of times. "
"However, even though the Old Man spent his entire life searching for its profoundness, there are still too many mysteries about it that haven't been solved. If you can promise not to destroy this spirit formation and hand it over to a suitable person to continue studying in the future, the Old Man will commit suicide in front of you. "
"If you are unwilling, even if the Old Man is severely injured, there will still be a way to make you pay a painful price in the end!"
He threatened, but it sounded more like a plea.
Gu Chen was touched.
What kind of obsession made this old man propose such an unfair deal?
Even if he agreed to this request, he could go back on his word afterwards. There was no binding force at all.
The only one who would be at a disadvantage was Old Monster Duan. He would have to pay the price with his life.
"I need to know what exactly is going on with this formation before I can consider whether or not to agree to your request."
Gu Chen thought for a moment, then replied seriously.
"Everyone knows that your Blood Refinement Sect has always been brutal and likes to perform blood sacrifices. Right now, you are pretending to be pitiful, but everyone in Baijing Mansion knows that in order to cultivate an evil spell, you set up a Blood Transformation Formation and refined an entire city of commoners alive. "
"How do I know that the formation here isn't that kind of evil formation? If I agree to it and find someone to study it in the future, wouldn't that be harming innocent people? "
When Old Monster Duan heard Gu Chen's righteous words, he laughed, and his eyes revealed a gratified expression.
"You questioning the Old Man like this means that you are really considering accepting the Old Man's request. In fact, as long as you are perfunctory, you can make the Old Man commit suicide. How good of a deal is that? But you didn't. This way, the Old Man will be at ease. "
"You are a serious person who will keep his word. To make a deal with someone like you, the Old Man will die without regrets!"
Gu Chen could not help but frown, "You can still laugh? Don't tell me that you don't feel the slightest bit of guilt for all the things you have done that are against the heavens? "
With a flip of his hand, Gu Chen took out the Blood Light Seven Evil Umbrella and threw it on the ground.
"This evil magic treasure was also refined by you. It's hard to imagine how many innocent people you have killed. After you die and enter the Yellow Springs, aren't you afraid that those vengeful spirits will come after you? "
Old Monster Duan glanced at the Blood Light Seven Evil Umbrella. "The Old Man has lived his life without letting down the heavens and earth. I see mortals as ants. As long as I can achieve my goal, so what if I have to kill all the lives in the world?
"To tell you the truth, the Old Man cultivates evil spells and refines evil magic treasures. His ultimate goal is to comprehend the profoundness of this formation."
Gu Chen was infuriated when he heard this. Old Monster Duan's way of doing things reminded him of the Netherworld God Palace. It was because of people like them who could do whatever they wanted for personal benefits that the 655,555 people in Feng Lin Manor had lost their lives!
To kill all the lives in the world for a formation, what kind of stubbornness was this?
"Alright, you're still young and might still be righteous. You won't understand the Old Man's lofty aspirations. There's no meaning in us arguing about this.
"You're a young man with flesh and blood. If you're angry, you can spill blood five steps away. The Old Man has long been indifferent to life and death. Even if Tang Man and the others were killed by you, the Old Man would be indifferent.
"Let's talk about this formation. The Old Man will tell you everything about it. Then, you can decide if you agree to my request."
Old Monster Duan tried his best to stand up from the chair and walked toward the formation while trembling.
"This formation came from a formation manual that the Old Man had obtained in his early years. It's called [Incomplete Heaven and Incomplete Earth].
"At first, the Old Man didn't understand the use of this formation. It's not an offensive or defensive formation. It's very different from the mainstream formation types. Everything about it is still a mystery. "
"It wasn't until he came into contact with a Dao Planter from the Central Empire that the Old Man had a flash of inspiration. It turns out that this formation can be used to refine the human body! "
