Chapter 696: Breaking the Seal and the Scroll
Han Li formed hand seals with both hands, and more than a dozen formation flags facing the crystal wall began to float and move.
After a moment, these formation flags arranged themselves into a strange and seemingly chaotic array, yet it seemed to harbor hidden mysteries.
At that moment, Han Li’s low and obscure incantation echoed out, followed by more than a dozen spell formations released from his hands, each accurately striking the formation flags.
Instantly, the flags trembled, flashing with colorful lights, and threads of light suddenly shot out from the flags, linking them together into a peculiar magic formation.
Wang Tiangu, the Marquis of Nanlong, and other cultivators skilled in formations frowned upon seeing this scene.
They felt this formation was somewhat familiar, yet they had never truly seen it before. They couldn’t help but ponder silently, hoping to discern some secret within.
However, Han Li seemed unwilling to let the other cultivators delve deeper into the mysteries of this formation. With a low shout, his entire body suddenly emitted a dazzling white light.
Those who were intently observing the formation were blinded and forced to shut their eyes.
Yet these old veterans were instantly alert, injecting spiritual power into their eyes and opening them again.
To their surprise, the formation flags on the surface of the crystal wall had, without a trace of disorder, embedded themselves into the crystal wall as if they had originally been part of it.
At this, the Marquis of Nanlong and the Old Man in White Shirt showed great joy, their confidence in Han Li greatly increased!
Wang Tiangu’s face changed slightly but quickly returned to normal.
As for Wang Chan behind him, the eyes on his mask revealed a complex look of shock, and he stood there stunned. Yan Ru Yan furrowed her delicate brows, glanced at the formation within the crystal wall, blinked her beautiful eyes, and a trace of confusion appeared on her jade-like face.
At this moment, Han Li took a few steps to the crystal wall. He pressed both hands against its surface, and his ten fingers radiated a faint cyan light.
Simultaneously, the magic formation within the crystal wall seemed to respond, erupting with five-colored rosy clouds at its center. The light grew increasingly dazzling, gradually filling the entire crystal wall in brilliant splendor.
While everyone watched mesmerized, Han Li removed his palms from the crystal wall. In a flash, he moved to the next crystal wall.
He gazed for a moment, then took out another set of formation flags and laid down a magic formation identical to the previous one. After another flash of white light from his body, the formation was instantly embedded into the crystal wall.
This time, the Marquis of Nanlong and others were prepared. Even under the intense light, their spiritual power shielded their eyes, allowing them to clearly see Han Li embedding the formation flags into the crystal wall.
They couldn’t help but marvel at how easily Han Li had broken into the crystal wall.
Han Li repeated this method to arrange formations on all four walls, a process that naturally took some time—half an hour at least.
The other cultivators showed no impatience!
Everyone knew that breaking such a marvelous ancient forbidden seal would naturally take time.
Of course, Han Li’s calm and unhurried manner gave everyone much confidence. Otherwise, neither the Marquis of Nanlong nor the Old Man in White Shirt would have allowed Han Li to waste so much time.
After finishing all the arrangements, Han Li walked to the center of the hall.
With a flick of one hand, he revealed a jade-green formation array.
Without hesitation, he cast several complicated spell formations into the array. The array and the glowing light in the four crystal walls began flickering erratically, starting off chaotic but gradually synchronizing as all the rosy clouds lit up and contracted together as if they were one.
“Break.”
Without looking at the glowing clouds around him, Han Li lowered his head slightly and muttered the low, resonant word “Break.”
