Chapter 577

Gu Chen looked ahead again. This time, the foggy swamp was gone, and a sea of fire appeared in front of him.

The whole mountain was surrounded by fire, and only the upper part remained the same!

After waiting for a while, Gu Chen saw Gu Ziyan and Gu Shenming also appear in front of him.

"It seems that we have all been teleported back to the foot of the mountain. The restrictive spell on the mountain is so powerful that we almost didn't feel it when it forcibly sent us back."

Gu Shenming smiled bitterly.

Gu Ziyan stared at the sea of fire in front of her and said thoughtfully. "Now the situation is very clear. The restrictive spell on the mountain doesn't seem difficult to break, but it is in a cycle. It won't work to break it by brute force. Only by understanding its changes and finding its flaws can we go up the mountain. "

"Cousin Gu Chen, do you have any ideas on how to break it?"

The two gradually understood why the ancestors said that the restrictive spell in this place could only be broken by people who were proficient in all kinds of spells. After Gu Chen disappeared, they tried to break it. Even if they used all kinds of magical powers of the Gu Clan, they would still be forcibly sent back to the foot of the mountain when they reached the middle of the mountain.

"I don't understand it. I can only study it first."

Gu Chen realized that the restrictive spell here was more difficult to break than he had imagined. He didn't know much about the way of formations, and the two of them might have been wrong to put their hopes on him.

The three of them went up the mountain again. This time, it had become a scorching hell. There was flowing lava everywhere, and from time to time, fire beasts came out of the fire to attack them.

They went through the danger and were about to reach the middle of the mountain again. At a glance, they saw the illusory deer squatting on a rock.

This time, it no longer looked innocent and curious. Instead, it made a face at them.

This action angered the white ape so much that it bared its fangs. Then, it squeaked and rushed forward again.

Without any suspense, it was teleported back to the foot of the mountain again!

Then, they went up the mountain again and again, and were teleported back again.

They experienced forests, swamps, seas of fire, floods, thunder pools, and other unusual environments. It was not until the eighth time that they were teleported down the mountain that the scenery in front of them became familiar.

A green bamboo forest appeared in front of them, as if they had gone through a cycle.

"Mountain, swamp, fire, thunder, water, wind, earth, sky … Is this the Eight Trigrams?"

Gu Chen recalled the various abnormal environments he had experienced before and gradually came to a conclusion.

This mountain was clearly an incomparably wondrous Eight Trigrams Formation that had evolved into eight abnormal environments that prevented anyone from ascending the mountain.

"If it's the Eight Trigrams, I'm afraid it'll be very difficult for us to get the Immortal Elixir!"

Gu Ziyan and Gu Shenming's hearts sank. They had some understanding of the Eight Trigrams Formation because one of the Thirteen Immortal Sects, the Tai Chi Immortal Sect, had inherited the ancient Eight Trigrams Formation.

As the saying goes, Taiji produces Yin and Yang, Yin and Yang produce the Four Divisions, and the Four Divisions produce the Eight Trigrams.

The Eight Trigrams was an existence that had been passed down since ancient times. It was the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancestors of the ancient human race. It was said that it involved the illusory "Dao" and could give rise to endless changes.

The Eight Trigrams were like eight boundless, shapeless pockets that could contain everything in the universe.

The Eight Trigrams Formation, which was based on it, was complex and ever-changing, and was notoriously difficult to break.

Gu Ziyan had only heard that the restriction formation on the mountain was extremely special, and only cultivators who were proficient in various kinds of spells could enter. She did not expect that it contained the Innate Eight Trigrams.

In this way, other than using absolute cultivation to crush the Eight Trigrams Formation, only the people of the Tai Chi Immortal Sect could break the restriction formation and successfully ascend the mountain.

After coming to this conclusion, Gu Ziyan and Gu Shenming looked at each other and couldn't help but feel dejected.

It seemed that they had been busy for nothing. Who would have thought that the restriction formation here was so complicated!

"The Eight Trigrams can deduce everything, just like my Eternal Freedom Dharma Idol. It is ever-changing. Why didn't I think of it before …"

Gu Chen looked at the mountain, but his eyes gradually lit up, as if he had found a treasure trove.

"Next, I will go up the mountain alone."

He said to the two of them and left the white ape behind. Then, he stepped into the bamboo forest in front of him alone!

Gu Ziyan and Gu Shenming looked at each other. Could it be that Gu Chen still hadn't given up?

That was the Innate Eight Trigrams Formation, and they didn't know what level of cultivator had set it up. Judging from the difficulty of breaking through the formation earlier, it would only get more and more dangerous!

Gu Chen entered the bamboo forest alone. The whole mountain in front of him suddenly came to life, and all the plants on the mountain repelled and attacked him.

This was the Mountain Form of the Eight Trigrams. After going through a reincarnation, the power it displayed had become even stronger.

The terrifying restriction light crushed down, and the plants on the mountain crazily attacked Gu Chen.

This time, without the help of the rainbow tree, Gu Chen also didn't plan to use any violent methods to break the formation.

Forcing his way through would only be endless. This Eight Trigrams phenomenon was endless, and every time it was reborn, it would become even more powerful.

If he wanted to break this formation, he had to understand it. But now, Gu Chen still wanted to control it!

The Eight Trigrams Formation was extremely exquisite. Although it was very famous, there weren't many people in the world who could set up an Eight Trigrams Formation of this level.

Gu Chen's Eternal Freedom Dharma Idol had just been condensed, and he had been thinking about how to make it stronger.

Although it had endless transformations and could imitate other people's Dharma Idols, it was still messy and not as profound as the Eight Trigrams, which was a fusion of the predecessors' wisdom.

Therefore, an idea came to him. Maybe he could use the Eternal Freedom Dharma Idol to perform the Innate Eight Trigrams. If that was the case, how powerful would it be?

With this thought in mind, he entered the formation alone, not wanting to be disturbed by anyone.

At this time, all the restrictions on the mountain were activated, and the power of the Mountain Form surged towards Gu Chen.

Gu Chen closed his eyes, and the Eternal Freedom Dharma Idol slowly appeared behind him.

His mind merged with the heaven and earth, feeling the wonders of this formation. At the same time, his Dharma Idol was also changing!

His Dharma Idol slowly evolved, and gradually, it emitted an aura similar to the mountain.

He slowly walked in the mountain, and with every step he took, the Dharma Idol behind him was constantly changing, gradually merging with the surroundings.

Then, something strange happened. After sensing the familiar aura from Gu Chen's Dharma Idol, the restrictions on the mountain suddenly stopped attacking him and fell into a strange silence.

"Ming —" A strange cry rang out.

The illusory deer on the mountainside watched as Gu Chen and the others tried their best to climb the mountain but were unable to ascend. Initially, it thought it was fun, but gradually, it became used to it. Originally, it was already lying on the ground lazily.

However, as it stared at Gu Chen's Avatar of Heaven and Earth, a hint of confusion appeared in its eyes. It instinctively stood up and took a few steps closer to him.

Gu Chen stood in the middle of the forest. The Dharma of Heaven and Earth continued to evolve. In the end, it completely merged with the mountain.

From then on, the restrictions on the mountain no longer attacked him. The little sika deer couldn't resist its curiosity and subconsciously crossed the boundary halfway up the mountain.

Whoosh!
