C882 Break the Formation
Even those geniuses who were ranked higher than them did not possess the same level of attainment in formations to be able to obtain such a ranking.
"Baili Xuantian, since things have already come to this point, I will not beat around the bush with you. I will also take some of the Wild Lightning Silver Fruits from the Black God Sacred Pond at that time." Tantai You said to Baili Xuanhuang.
"How much do you want?" Baili Xuantian frowned. If the other party demanded an exorbitant price, he would not accept it.
"Fifty percent." Tantai You extended his finger towards Baili Xuantian and said with a smile.
"Impossible." At almost the same time that Tantai You said those words, Baili Xuantian rejected him directly.
His main goal this time was to obtain the Berserk Thunder Silver Fruit in the Black God's Divine Pond. If Tantai You and the others were to take away fifty percent of the fruit, it would also be a great loss to her.
After all, a genius like the Berserk Thunder Silver Fruit was also extremely precious. No matter how many there were, there would not be any side effects. The more one ate, the less obvious the effects of the pill would be in the later stages.
"Looks like you don't agree?"
Eliminating Fault said faintly, as if he had already expected the other party to say such a thing. There was no trace of surprise on his face.
"Humph, Baili Xuantian, I know that the Wild Thunder Silver Fruit is of paramount importance to your cultivation. However, what I want to say is, if you can't even enter this palace, how can you obtain the Wild Thunder Silver Fruit?"
Tantai You glanced at the door before looking at Baili Xuanhuang. The array in this palace has already reached the peak of the Heaven grade. It's infinitely close to the Holy grade. With your strength," Tantai You sneered, The array in this palace has already reached the peak of the Heaven grade. It's infinitely close to the Holy grade. Perhaps you'll have a chance to break the array if you keep attacking the door. Ten days and ten nights later... But most of the time, you won't be able to break the defensive array in front of you."
" Even if you finally open the gate of the formation, at that time... I'm afraid that your condition will be extremely terrible. At that time... At that time, any random cultivator will be able to take the Wild Lightning Silver Fruit for you. Who knows, I might even kill you too. "
"Therefore, I think you should at least consider my proposal"
Tantai You did not continue speaking after saying this. Instead, he withdrew his gaze from Baili Xuantian's body. He also had great confidence in his own words.
Baili Xuantian immediately fell into silence when he heard this. His expression was volatile as if he was considering the authenticity of Tantai You's words.
After all, if it was really as Tantai You had said, he would need to use all his strength to open the formation. Clearly, he was unwilling to pay such a price.
Not to mention the other people, just Ling Jian and Tantai You made him feel extremely threatened.
With their strength, even if they hadn't joined hands, they wouldn't have been able to do so. It would take a lot of effort to deal with any of them. And if he used up all of his spirit energy, he probably wouldn't be a match for either of them.
At that time, even if Ling Jian didn't attack, Tantai You would be able to easily kill him.
"It's impossible to split it fifty-fifty. If you really have the ability to open the defensive formation on the gate, then I can consider giving you forty percent. " Baili Xuandong laughed in a deep voice.
40% was already his bottom line. If Tantai You were to give him and Tantai You a rating... Even if Tantai You really had the ability to break through the array on the gate, it would not be meaningful for him to enter the palace in the end.
"Alright, 40%. Don't go back on your word." Tantai You smiled and did not continue with his nonsense with Baili Xuandong. She knew that Baili Xuantian's maximum limit was 40%. If there were any more, she might not be able to make it.
In reality, her original plan was not to give up so much but to think that the other party would cut down 30%. But now that she could get 40% after drinking, it was also unexpected.
In fact, when Baili Xuanhuang's gaze landed on Tantai You's face, he knew that he had been tricked. It was obvious that Tantai You was trying to blow him up. However, he did not do it ruthlessly.
However, now that he had said those words, he naturally could not continue speaking. Otherwise, he would have been left speechless.
At that moment, he clearly knew that he had suffered a great loss. However, he did not dare to make a single move. Besides being afraid that he would be left speechless, Tantai You was also not someone to be trifled with.
Putting aside her attainments in array formations, just the powerful background of the Tantai Clan wasn't something she could offend.
Ling Jian, who was next to Tantai You, also didn't speak. He didn't participate in their proposal either.
Because according to what he had wanted previously, Baili Xuantian had already been ostracized by him from the very beginning. Entering the Black God's Divine Pond, let alone obtaining 60%, he would not even be able to obtain a single strand of hair.
"Alright, since it has already been decided, then let's begin. " Baili Xuandong spoke in a low voice. His expression was slightly hostile as he looked at Tantai You.
If it wasn't for Tantai You and the others, he wouldn't have lost 40% of the Berserk Thunder Silver Fruit in vain.
However, he also knew that there wouldn't only be one person fighting for the Berserk Thunder Silver Fruits this time. Unless there were no defensive arrays in the palace gates, he might be able to obtain all of the Berserk Thunder Silver Fruits first.
"Let me take a look first." Tantai You took a step forward and arrived at the entrance. At the same time, he shouted at Baili Xuantian.
Baili Xuantian frowned but did not say anything.
After Baili Xuantian withdrew, Tantai You's gaze became somewhat solemn. He looked at the palace entrance in front of him with a solemn expression.
The defensive array on the palace gate had already reached the peak of a heaven-grade array. It was extremely close to a true saint grade array. Although she had said it lightly earlier, she still wanted to break through this defensive array. It also required a considerable price.
"Ling Jian, you guys can help me guard the formation here." Tantai You looked at Ling Jian and his seven followers and said calmly.
She also knew that even without Ling Jian and his seven followers protecting the array, Baili Xuantian would not dare to attack her.
However, she could not completely trust Baili Xuantian and was not afraid of ten thousand things. She was just afraid of one in ten. After all, in the face of such a great opportunity like the Wild Thunder Silver Fruit, no one could remain calm, let alone Baili Xuantian, who was a body practitioner. He was afraid that no one would be able to remain calm. It might not be impossible for him to make a move against her when his eyes were red with envy.
Thus, for the sake of safety, she couldn't help but say something to Ling Jian and the seven subordinates.
When Ling Jian and the seven subordinates heard this, they all came to Tantai You's side and protected his master. As for Baili Xuantian, he was instead pushed aside by the crowd.
Baili Xuantian's gaze was incomparably gloomy. When he saw Ling Jian's figure pass by him, it became incomparably sinister.
Similarly, he sensed a dangerous aura from Ling Jian's body.
"This kid definitely has a trump card that even I don't know about." Baili Xuantian muttered in his heart. Ling Jian's cultivation was only at the initial-stage of the Heavenly Source Realm. Defeating Duan Tianchang was already something he couldn't afford to hand over. If even he sensed danger... It could only mean that Ling Jian had other means.
But even so, Baili Xuantian still didn't put him in his heart.
He merely became slightly vigilant.
After all, he was a cultivator ranked ninth on the East Taitian Genius Ranking. If Ling Jian's ability was able to make up for such a huge gap, it would absolutely be considered rare.
Most importantly, he didn't think that Ling Jian possessed such a rare trump card.
...
After Ling Jian's seven followers appeared, Tantai You's beautiful eyes lit up. Without any hesitation, he started to crack the formation on the door.
As a formation master who was about to reach the level of a Saint Formation, Tantai You had already displayed extremely high attainments in formations the moment he made his move.
At this moment, Tantai You was sitting cross-legged in front of the palace's door. His expression was replaced by a solemn expression as he formed seals with his hands. Numerous profound formation diagrams appeared in front of him. Under her methodical intelligence, they surged into the palace gate.
Baili Xuantian stood behind the crowd. However, he had been paying attention to the palace gates. As Tantai You made his move, the gates, which had been motionless, started to shake violently.
Although it still didn't look like it was going to open, it was much more obvious compared to his previous move.
Baili Xuankang was delighted to see that, but at the same time, he was also wary of Tantai You.
Tantai You was so young, yet he already had such attainments in formations. If he were to make a breakthrough in his cultivation in the future, he would probably be able to make use of his attainments in formations to become even more powerful.
"There are a total of three major cultivation factions in the Taixu Palace. They are the Alchemy Faction, the Cultivation Faction, and the Array Faction."
"If Tantai You enters the Taixu Palace, with her attainments in the Array Dao, she will definitely become a core disciple of the Array Faction."
Baili Xuandong muttered to himself. When his gaze landed on Tantai You, he became increasingly bewildered.
The Great Void Palace was a renowned faction in the entire East Taitian. It was worthy of being called the number one faction in terms of strength. In comparison, even the famous Tantai Clan in Tongxuan City was nothing.
Even though his ranking was even higher than Tantai You's, however... If Tantai You were to join the Supreme Void Palace with him, Tantai You would definitely surpass him in the future. Naturally, his ranking on the Genius rankings would also far exceed his.
"If I can use this opportunity to build a good relationship with Tantai You, I'm afraid it will be of great help to the development of the Supreme Void Palace in the future." Baili Xuantian was thinking about how to improve his relationship with Tantai You.
However, it was also at this moment that his gaze suddenly landed on Ling Jian.
Previously, he could sense that the relationship between Tantai You and Ling Jian was not ordinary. It was obvious that Tantai You's laziness towards Ling Jian far exceeded that of others.
Ling Jian's talent was also not inferior to his. If he were to follow this trend, his future achievements would be extremely terrifying. He might even be together with Tantai You.
"However, Ling Jian doesn't seem to be from the East Taitian. He probably doesn't have a strong background either. If it's possible, I'll just kill him." Baili Xuantian thought so in his heart. Before he had entered the palace, he had wanted Duan Tianchang to kill Ling Jian, but now that he had entered this area... After thinking about his future development, the killing intent in his heart towards Ling Jian had become even stronger.
It was only because she hadn't thought that Ling Jian's strength would really be so formidable that Duan Tian Chang would actually be killed instead. However, he had also made a promise because of this, and naturally wouldn't attack Ling Jian again.
However, now that they had already entered the dark and moved about in the sky, their previous promise naturally became invalid.
Even if they killed Ling Jian in the palace now, they would not say anything.
Although the killing intent that Baili Xuandong revealed was extremely obscure, it was still easily detected by Ling Jian.
However, Ling Jian did not take Baili Xuantian's killing intent to heart. He did not even have the intention of turning around to look at the other party, but he could not help but sneer in his heart. If Baili Xuantian knew the situation, it would be fine. However, if Baili Xuantian did not know what was good for him, he would not mind directly attacking. Baili Xuantian was also killed.
At this moment, both Ling Jian and Baili Xuantian were filled with killing intent towards each other.
However, the only difference was that Baili Xuantian's killing intent towards Ling Jian was very clear to Ling Jian. Ling Jian himself knew Baili Xuantian very well, but he didn't know what Ling Jian was thinking right now.
It would be fine if there wasn't any conflict, but if there really was an intense conflict, then Baili Xuantian would definitely die in the end.
Ling Jian would absolutely make use of Baili Xuantian's corpse to rise up powerfully, and step into the ninth or even higher ranking on the Genius Rankings.
Tantai You was sitting cross-legged at the entrance of the palace.
At this moment, her hands were continuously forming seals. At the same time, array diagrams appeared in front of her, forming terrifying ripples of array formations.
As Tantai You made his move, a surface layer that looked like water appeared on the palace's door. It was the defensive array that had been carved onto the palace's door.
As time passed, the original palace gate only had Ling Jian, Baili Xuantian, and seven other followers. However, now, some other cultivators had appeared one after another.
However, the cultivators who had appeared here were not ordinary cultivators. They were all geniuses on the list of geniuses, such as Yao Yue, Gu Panxi, and Zhou Gui.
Apart from them, there were also some other cultivators behind them. Although none of these cultivators had truly made it onto the list of geniuses, their cultivation levels were not weak at all. They were all in the late stage of the Heavenly Source Realm. As for their actual combat strength, it was not something that ordinary people could compare with.
After all, if those who came here didn't have a certain level of confidence in their own strength, coming here was equivalent to courting death.
However, although these cultivators had already gathered here, because of the existence of Baili Xuantian, they did not dare to go forward. Instead, they hung far away.
However, even so, it was still unable to make them give up on competing for the Berserk Thunder Silver Fruit. They knew that they didn't have many opportunities, but they still chose to fight.
"It has already been so long, yet you still haven't settled it?" Immediately, Baili Xuantian couldn't sit still. He saw that more and more cultivators were coming over, and his heart also became somewhat restless.
Although his strength was very strong, and he was ranked ninth on the Genius Ranking, he wasn't an invincible existence.
The more cultivators there were, the greater the threat would be to her. It was hard to guarantee that something unexpected would happen.
"Are you in such a hurry to reincarnate?" Ling Jian looked at Baili Xuantian with a cold gaze. His voice did not hide his disgust towards Baili Xuantian at all.
"Damn it."
"Do you think you can act lawlessly just because you killed Duan Tian Chang?"
"Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to me like that?" Baili Xuandong's gaze was cold as he stared at Ling Jian. His gaze was as ferocious as killing intent.1
"What does killing Duan Tianchang count as? There are many people who are more powerful than him on the Genius Rankings." Baili Xuanxuan said coldly. He was extremely displeased with Ling Jian's arrogance.
"Indeed." Ling Jian nodded indifferently. Baili Xuantian also looked at Ling Jian and heard Ling Jian say again, "However, this person does not include you."
Baili Xuantian's expression instantly changed when he heard that. This Ling Jian opening his mouth like this clearly showed that he did not place him in his eyes.
The surrounding public also heard it clearly because no matter whether Baili Xuanhuang opened his mouth or Ling Jian refuted, they did not try to hide it.
When they saw that Ling Jian was so arrogant even when facing Baili Xuantian, who was ranked ninth on the Genius Ranking, everyone's expression became incomparably bewildered. The gazes that they looked at Ling Jian with became different and surprised.
Previously, when Ling Jian faced Duan Tianchang, he had also displayed such clothes and appearance. Previously, everyone thought that he might be killed, arrogant and ignorant. But in reality, Ling Jian had given them a fierce slap.
And according to Ling Jian's style of doing things previously, he probably wouldn't be arrogant and conceited for no reason. Everyone was looking forward to Ling Jian's confrontation with Baili Xuantian. It would definitely be incomparably wonderful as well.
And to them, it just so happened that they could reap the benefits with their left hand!
However, there were also some people who did not think highly of Ling Jian. It was truly Baili Xuantian's reputation that was a little too resounding.
"This Ling Jian was a little impulsive this time."
"I didn't expect that he would actually also be furious for the sake of being red."
"How can Baili Xuantian's strength be something that someone like Duan Tian Chang can compare with?"
"That's right. Although Ling Jian was able to kill Duan Tianzhang with a single move, he's still much weaker than Baili Xuantian. One has to know that Duan Tian Zhang only volunteered himself because he wanted to leave a good impression in front of Baili Xuantian."
