Chapter 6017: This Lady Has Quite the Character
Chu Feng found the deciphering method, but he realized that the deciphering method was a trap.
If they cleared the formation using this deciphering method, they would be freed from their cage, and the spirit formation gate would open once more, allowing them to leave this place. However, they wouldnt be able to obtain the benefit.
In other words, they would have taken a detour for nothing.
If they wanted the benefit, they would have to acquire the deeper deciphering method.
So, Chu Feng started to decipher the deeper deciphering method.
I have found the deciphering method, Zhao Zhuyin suddenly said.
She released her spirit power and started constructing a formation. Just as Chu Feng had expected, she was a pinnacle God-cloak World Spiritist.
Yuwen Yanri was surprised by her spirit power.
However, Chu Feng could tell that she was constructing the superficial deciphering formation.
Miss Zhao, we wont be able to acquire the benefit if we decipher the formation using that method, Chu Feng said.
I know that this method only ensures our survival and that theres a deeper formation here. However, it wont be easy to grasp the deeper formation, and I dont think theres enough time to pull that off. So, I decided to give up on the benefit and just focus on leaving here, Zhao Zhuyin said as she continued constructing the formation.
Brother Chu Feng, should I stop her? Yuwen Yanri sent a voice transmission to Chu Feng.
Its fine, Chu Feng replied. He continued to uncover the deeper deciphering formation as he said, Miss Zhao, its your right to pursue self-preservation, but I hope that you can give me a chance. Please refrain from activating your formation after completing it. Its not too late to activate it when time is running out, but I have yet to attain the deeper deciphering formation.
It takes time to activate the formation too, so Ill activate it when the incense stick burns down to a fifth. I dont care whether you attained the deciphering method by then or not; you have to breach the formation by then. Otherwise, Ill activate my formation, Zhao Zhuyin said.
Thats fine with me, Chu Feng accepted the term.
He wasnt upset by the conditions as he understood where Zhao Zhuyin was coming from. Even if they were on good terms, it was only right for her to prioritize her self-preservation. It would all be over if she died, after all.
Besides, Zhao Zhuyin was already being considerate by giving him a chance.
She was a skilled world spiritist, having completed the formation when the incense stick still had two-fifths left, but instead of activating it, she turned to Chu Feng and said, Chu Feng, you dont have much time left.
It would take time to construct the formation, but Chu Feng hadnt even found the deciphering method yet. In her view, the chances were likely that he would fail.
Feel free to activate your deciphering formation if Im unable to finish constructing mine by the time the incense stick burns down to a fifth, Chu Feng replied with a relaxed smile.
Zhao Zhuyin didnt bother saying anything, choosing instead to use her time in preparation for her formations activation. She thought that activating the formation when the incense stick was down to a fifth was risky too.
Time quickly passed.
Soon, the incense stick was burning down to its last fifth.
A powerful spirit power began pulsating from Zhao Zhuyin. She made it clear that she wouldnt hesitate to activate her deciphering formation as soon as time was up.
Just then, an even more powerful surge of spirit power burst forth.
It was from Chu Feng!
His spirit power was at pinnacle God-cloak World Spiritist, but it shocked Zhao Zhuyin nevertheless. The two of them should have had the same spirit power, but Chu Fengs spirit power was stronger than hers.
What he did next shocked her even more.
He constructed his formation at an incredible speed, displaying a precise level of control that awed even Zhao Zhuyin. It was evident he was a much better world spiritist than her.
At this moment, Zhao Zhuyin finally understood why her elders always said that there was always a taller mountain out there, and it made sense to her why someone as powerful as Yuwen Yanri listened so well to Chu Fengs words.
Chu Feng quickly finished a deciphering formation in a heartbeat. Without any hesitation, he activated it.
A light pillar gushed into the sky, piercing through even the impenetrable barrier.
The barrier transformed into two surges of spirit power.
One surge of spirit power manifested as an open spirit formation gate that was identical to the one they had just seen, just that it didnt come with a formation, which meant that it couldnt be closed.
The other surge flowed into Chu Fengs deciphering formation, causing the deciphering formation to contract before manifesting as three talisman imprints. These three talisman imprints emanated formidable spirit power.
The talisman imprints harnessed incredible defensive energy that could save their lives. It could only be activated within Gods Era, but it was an invaluable asset in such a dangerous place.
These three talisman imprints had no owners; they could be split among the three of them, but they could also be monopolized by one person.
Competition was usually rife over such protective means.
Yuwen Yanri didnt make a move, as he thought that the talisman imprints rightfully belonged to Chu Feng as he was the one who deciphered the barrier.
What was surprising was that Zhao Zhuyin didnt move either.
Chu Feng reached out and grabbed one of the talisman imprints. He then turned to Zhao Zhuyin and Yuwen Yanri, saying, Well take one each.
Brother Chu Feng... Yuwen Yanri felt a little embarrassed.
Its a cooperation among us three. We would have missed this fortuitous encounter if any of you chose to activate the spirit formation gate, Chu Feng said with a smile.
I shall take it then, Yuwen Yanri said with a smile as he took his share of the reward.
Zhao Zhuyin stepped forward and took her share of the reward too. Then, she made her way straight toward the spirit formation gate.
Miss Zhao, wont you consider traveling with us? Chu Feng asked.
Ill pass. Not all benefits can be equally split, though, thanks for this. Zhao Zhuyin gestured to the talisman imprint on her palm.
With that, she put on her veiled bamboo hat and walked straight into the spirit formation gate.
That lady has quite the character, Yuwen Yanri remarked.
Indeed. Chu Feng expressed his agreement.
She was both competent and independent.
