“It’s really unique. The formation usually supports itself by using a certain point in the inner part but in this formation, that point is in other space. Not only that but the formation placed each of their weakness in a chaotic spacial storm right in its eye.”

Ye Xiaobai excitedly said that while looked left and right, up and down, everywhere. The ray of golden light enveloped the entire city but from outside, it was no different from the ordinary city.

“I wanted to learn from it so that I can become knowledgeable and stronger!”

That was what he determined both in his mouth and his heart. Seeing this made his view changed for the better. But of course, he did not understand all of it, only some simple effect it gave to the formation already exhausted his knowledge.

“I also want to learn.” Manstein did not want to rely too much on his device. That was the same as making himself dependant on that thing and only by himself that the heavens would judge, not only the device itself.

‘It’s a tool in the end.’

Han Lang also watched with surprise because he had never seen such a formation in his life. Although the large sects and city also had similar formation but compared to this grandeur and majestic formation, those were nothing much.

“She said that I should start to cultivate as soon as possible. Alice even said that she almost broke through the Universe Gate but was prevented.”

Manstein also had someone that can give him the basic of cultivating. His Intelligence Assitance Device only recorded the experiment and laboratory test both in this world and his world.

“Elder Brother, do you really want to do this?” Ye Yingyuan asked. As someone who had a lot with even for a short moment, a form of connection could be seen when they interact each other.

“This is not going to be easy. Even I..” Ye Xiaobai also experienced it himself.

“Yes, the arduous path that everyone must take right? But this is already my decision since what I truly want is to return..to my home.” Manstein looked at a certain direction. No matter the beautiful scene that he had seen here, he still longs for his home.

Unconsciously, the thought process he had now would become his path to reach the top.

“So what is your decision? To follow the orthodox path or the more alluring and faster path of those who called demons?”

This was what the entity had said to Manstein, to be exact something that the entity had planted inside him as a question. But recently Manstein realized that the question referred to his condition.

‘With my spiritual root point at 0,5 is...impossible to cultivate!’

The after effect of the great restriction made him completely unable to cultivate. There were several major points to cultivate, Spiritual Root,  Willpower, and Intent. Spiritual root showed the innate talent while the other two condition showed your mental capability.

‘Sadly, to cultivate you should have the spiritual root points at two or above. Even spiritual root points at two only make someone able to reach the half of Qi Condensation stage with no hope of advancement.’

Besides, the seal in his soul now glowed faintly. But of course, after receiving the latest development about his own method about the soul, Manstein could feel it despite not having any experience before.

“I hope that this seal only acts as an inhibitor and won’t affect my entire being. Even though that this seal can affect my relation to every living being...”

Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.

Tribulation and Retribution seal was actually a seal that also affected the host connection to other people. The working of the seal was to strengthen the karma between the two.

“I cannot do anything then if it was your decision.” At least, both Ye Yingyuan and Ye Xiaobai already remind him about the danger and risk.

For starter, Manstein had to remember the breathing technique to help him feel and gather the energy around him. And that was what he did next as he sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and focusing his mind only to gather the energy.

But outside of the city, it was a scene of carnage.

“Say, do you know about the crest?” asked Wang Yu in a spirited manner. But in fact, the scene that displayed in front of him was not something that like a good talk because there were corpses that started to fell from the skies.

The unfortunate cultivator that still alive from the attraction force was met with Wang Yu instead.

“What are you talking about? There’s no way my own sect will use such a vicious method just to gain victory!” the cultivator, from Wang Yu’s perspective, was still too inexperienced with the game of politics and power.

“Do you really know or not!?” Wang Yu raised his voice several pitches higher. This made that cultivator trembled in fear for he had never felt the suppressing aura that came from him.

‘This is my unlucky day after all.’ It was the same person that became the leader of the scout unit, Luo Mang.

But Wang Yu also noticed the overall movement from the opposite side. They may move their people but none of them were meant to save Luo Mang. In short, they abandoned Luo Mang that instant but unfortunately, Wang Yu got out from that hidden space.

Sadly, Wang Yu really wanted to save them that already became corpses but they attacked him first.

“If you know the capabilities of that crest, I’m afraid that you will think about it twice. And not only that but you still went here despite knowing that you will die, why?”

That was the most strange point that Wang Yu wanted to point out from the start.

“Just keep your mouth shut!” feeling that his end was nearing, Luo Mang could only utter words of desperation. He really did not believe that the very sect that he served resort to such things.

“At least you still have some sense left when I appear here.” Wang Yu said with a cold tone. The only reason he had not killed Luo Mang was only due to that same reason. Luo Mang knew that he could not defeat Wang Yu but it was his own judgment from that time before Wang Yu showed his prowess.

Then with not enough power to resist, Luo Mang was dragged inside the formation before the elder that tried to minimize the effect of the force could come to rescue.

“Damn! Who takes him!?” when the elder finally arrived, his eyes became bloodshot and even traces of blood at the corner of his mouth was there to see.

Because the attraction force made the elder to use one of his treasures, the delayed time was used by Wang Yu to grabbed Luo Mang.

‘If the other side finds out about it, then we will have another opponent to deal with!’ this was what his sect did not want to happen the most at the moment. They already expand themselves and have multiple fronts and adding the enemies they did not expect only made them suffer more loss.

But his thought was stopped when a roar echoed through the area, swept away the attention from everything else. Then a golden light shone from the direction where the elder face currently.

“A dragon?” the elder obviously did not believe his own sight. The dragons were a mythical beast that only lived at the secluded place that humans never touch before. Only at the war of the worlds that their existence was proven by their appearance during the war.

The dragon positioned itself, coiling around the formation. Its golden scale and serpent-like body made itself suitable for doing it naturally.

Its mouth just opened and from there, every cultivator from Cleansing Ancient Sect could feel the attraction force come from that same mouth.

“What is this formation!?” unfortunately for some of the unlucky ones, they were devoured by the dragon that came from the formation. It was like mere ordinary being dared to challenge the authority of some deity.

The elder felt that his effort to come to that place now ended in vain. “Not only I lost that man but also my unit as well!”

This made him felt humiliated. The small city that he had estimated only have some power turned out to shaved off most of his forces. This would affect their campaign in the future and the development of the event.

“Interesting. To hold such an item despite only have the power of Nirvana Body stage, how interesting.” A man came flying to the elder’s direction.

‘At least it can be used to repel the attraction force. But not for the whole formation!’ Wang Yu actually wanted to use this chance to prove that the people from that sect actually had such a guts to resort to a method that even the cultivators did not want to use.

“No matter the reason you have for fighting here, I must succeed!” the elder then laughed crazily, while kept his hand gesture and movement to form a certain magical technique.

“So it’s true after all. Cleansing Ancient Sect, I must surely remember that name because that is the first target that I look for.” Wang Yu ended the fight one-sidedly, sealing the elder to make a use of him later whether as a Blood Pill or Sacrificial Rite, he did not care anymore.

“Hmm, this is..” Wang Yu noticed the smallest change in the formation. But instead of worry, excitement could be seen all over his face.

“..he chooses the path of cultivators, just like you Alice.” Said Wang Yu happily.

“Of course after getting all the information that I gathered in the past, Senior will choose the same path as well. Because, that also the only way out from this world.” Alice then used her soul to let the golden dragon exterminate the remaining residue.

The golden dragon roared, opened its mouth and breathe a large flame that extinguishes all the opposition.

“Such a strong effect!” Han Lang watched all the process from the very beginning. The formation was like a large bait and even if the opposite party attacked, they would trouble themselves with the defense mechanism the formation possessed.

“Agree. But how long will he sit down?” Ye Xiaobai looked at the figure that still sat.

Manstein could not feel the energy around him at all! Even with the breathing technique, he still could not gather the qi in his surrounding into his body.

‘Is it because my spiritual root is too low?’

Fortunately, the only thing that affected his advancement was his own spiritual roots and the seal. Manstein finished his meditation, stood up and then opened his eyes. What greeted him was the three that followed him and Wang Yu who smeared himself with blood!

“Haha, it’s been a long time since I did this.”
