Chapter 289: Dark Horse

Upon closer inspection, one would discover that the rain was actually tiny blue short swords.

Moreover, each of these short swords carried the power of the divine soul.

Although such an attack was not strong individually, Fang Yu did not intend to rely on such an attack to cause any particularly large commotion.

The main purpose of his actions was to test the waters.

In fact, Fang Yu’s move was essentially a special perception technique.

Each of the rain swords here could be seen as Fang Yu’s divine soul tentacles.

The Illusion Array could block his senses, but it couldn’t create something that didn’t exist.

Relying on the feedback from the rain sword landing on the ground, Fang Yu was able to construct a real world in his mind in a very short period of time.

Lu Yuan also saw through the other party’s actions at the first moment.

He had to admit that the cultivators from the Upper Realm were really skilled in the use of divine ability.

At the very least, many cultivators in the Lower Realm would never have thought that the sword rain, which was originally used to attack, would be used as a means of detection.

However, while Fang Yu had a plan, Lu Yuan also had a countermeasure.

Fang Yu relied on the feedback from the special rain sword to gradually picture the original appearance of Black Jade Peak in her mind.

However, after flying for a distance, he surprisingly discovered that he still could not see the main body of Black Jade Peak. Instead, he was deep in an unknown fog.

That caused Fang Yu’s forehead to instantly drip with a large amount of sweat.

Impossible, he had clearly already imagined the terrain of Black Jade Peak, so why hadn’t he managed to walk out yet?

If someone was around, they would realize that Fang Yu had been spinning in circles since the beginning.

Moreover, his flight trajectory was still in a spherical shape.

In fact, whether it was a cultivator or an ordinary person, the way they judged the direction was to rely on the surrounding objects as a reference.

After losing sense of the objects, it was undoubtedly very difficult for ordinary people to maintain their direction.

This was similar to walking in a straight line with one’s eyes blindfolded.

Not to mention that after Fang Yu took out his intrinsic true magic item, Lu Yuan began to activate the illusion array of Black Jade Peak to the maximum.

The terrain information Fang Yu got from the special sword rain was actually controlled by Lu Yuan.

The half-true information had made Fang Yu completely lose his way.

Actually, it was not easy for an ordinary illusion array to trap Fang Yu.

However, it was different at Black Jade Peak.

Lu Yuan’s current understanding of array formations was not to create some profound array formation by himself.

Instead, he combined the surrounding environment to create the most suitable array formation that could play the greatest role there.

On Black Jade Peak, the illusion array was the array that could display its greatest effect.

This was because on Black Jade Peak, there were special divine soul fluctuations and spiritual energy coming from all directions.

The special divine soul fluctuations and spiritual power were usually difficult to sense, and there was no difference between them and ordinary spiritual power.

If someone deliberately mobilized them, it would be like adding colorful paint to a basin of clear water.

It was undoubtedly very difficult to find the color one wanted among so many colors.

Thus, the fog that trapped Fang Yupang was not a simple fog.

Instead, it was a special spiritual energy fog formed by special ‘spiritual energy signals’.

In such an environment, not to mention Fang Yu, even Lu Yuan himself could not fully sense his surroundings.

The reason why Lu Yuan was able to grasp Fang Yu’s every move was because he was outside the array at the moment. Moreover, he still had the Heaven and Earth compass in his hand that controlled the spiritual energy signals.

By relying on the Heaven and Earth compass, Lu Yuan was able to ignore the miscellaneous interference information and find Fang Yu’s accurate location.

As for the reason why he was turning the mountain, it was actually to spread and strengthen the fog’s effects on Black Jade Peak.

In other words, it was equivalent to stirring up the water. In addition, after changing the mountain, Lu Yuan could also affect Fang Yu’s perception by changing the physical objects on the mountain.

The combination of the two was the real reason why Fang Yu was trapped.

Lu Yuan called this powerful illusion array, which was created by combining the Spiritual Energy Gathering Bell and the special terrain, the Immortal Trapping Array.

Lu Yuan believed that once there were enough users of spiritual energy mobile phones and his attainments in arrays were high enough, even immortals would be trapped by him.

Once Lu Yuan reached the Nascent Soul Stage and mastered the Four Emblems Sword Array, an ancestral sword array, the Immortal Trapping Array would truly become a place of death and insidiously defeated an enemy.

After confirming that his Immortal Trapping Array had met his expectations, Lu Yuan no longer decided to play with Fang Yu.

This time, he was prepared to use Fang Yu as a stepping stone to enter the Upper Realm.

If Fang Yu no longer went up the mountain because of the existence of the Immortal Trapping Array, or if others attributed the credit of the Immortal Trapping Array to others, it would not be a good thing for Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan needed someone to witness him displaying enough array formation strength.

Only in that way could he enter the Upper Realm as an array formation genius.

As a result, the fog that originally pervaded Black Jade Peak slowly dissipated.

As the fog dissipated, Fang Yu stopped.

Even Xu Ziyu and the others at the foot of the mountain could sense the situation on the mountain at that moment.

Fang Yu looked at the surroundings after the fog dissipated, and his face immediately revealed a shocked expression.

That was because Fang Yu discovered that he had only traveled a distance of 500 meters ever since leaving Xu Ziyu and the others.

That was only about halfway up Black Jade Peak.

Xu Ziyu and the others did not expect Fang Yu to only arrive at that location after leaving for so long.

It could be seen how serious the suppression of the fog on Fang Yu was.

Other than the fog, everyone’s attention was focused on a cultivator not far from Fang Yu.

“Ziyu, is that the Lu Yuan you mentioned?”

Xu Ziyu looked at Lu Yuan, who was not far away from Fang Yu, and nodded.

After receiving the reply, Shen Taotao muttered softly, “No wonder Meng Ruyan likes him. He does have a good appearance.”

At that moment, Fang Yu also saw Lu Yuan who had appeared in front of him.

Recalling his sorry state in the fog, Fang Yu immediately took the initiative to ask, “Hey, were you the one who used the array to fool me just now?”

Lu Yuan looked at Fang Yu with a calm expression.

However, the calmness made Fang Yu a little angry.

He felt like he was being ignored.

Sensing Lu Yuan’s Core Formation Stage cultivation, as well as his outstanding appearance and temperament, Fang Yu immediately guessed Lu Yuan’s identity.

“You are Lu Yuan, right? We are disciples of the Upper Realm’s Stellar Moon Cave. Previously, we have already communicated with your sect leader. He also allowed us to stay on your mountain for a moment. I-”

Before Fang Yu could finish, Lu Yuan interrupted, “Others can, but not you.”

When Fang Yu heard that, he immediately laughed in anger, thinking, “1 mean, you’re just a Core Formation Stage cultivator, yet you dare to speak to a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator like this? Today, let me teach you a lesson about the strict cultivator hierarchy!”

Fang Yu raised his hand. The blue sword rain that was originally a gentle breeze suddenly turned into a violent storm and flew toward Lu Yuan.

And facing such an attack, Lu Yuan just stood there motionlessly.

Not only did Fang Yu not expect such a reaction, but even Xu Ziyu and the others at the foot of the mountain were also stunned.

Why wasn’t he dodging?

Each of the sword rain droplets had the power of a Core Formation Stage Level 1 or 2 cultivator!

Soon, Lu Yuan made everyone understand why he did not dodge Fang Yu’s attack at all.

After the sword rain approached Lu Yuan for a certain distance, it seemed to be distorted and began to turn continuously. In the end, it flew past Lu Yuan.

It was as if the sword rain was actively avoiding Lu Yuan.

Seeing the scene, Xu Ziyu and the others, as well as Fang Yu, were stunned.

Fang Yu clearly felt that his sword rain was not being controlled, but why did it suddenly turn around?

Similarly shocked was Wang Yu, who opened a betting platform at the foot of the mountain.

Why did the guy called Lu Yuan seem a little off?

Could there be a big upset in the betting results?

Lu Yuan was clearly only at the Core Formation Stage, but he was able to twist the attack of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.. Could the guy be a dark horse?
