Chapter 78: The Perfect Formation is Right Here

“It said that the entrance to the crypt is within the central tower of Horror Mountain Village,” Ningning said.

Horror Mountain Village was huge with a total of two to three thousand acres of land, and the entire mountain village wasn’t all on level ground. As a result, it was too difficult to find the center of it. Also, there were many towers in Horror Mountain Village. On the way here, Yang Dingtian saw at least dozens of them. Which tower was the entrance to the crypt where the Millennium Owl was sealed?

“We would need the map of Horror Mountain Village,” Yang Dingtian said. “That way, we’ll be able to find the exact center point of the village without raising Zhao Mu’s suspicions.”

“Don’t worry, I have a way,” Ningning said. Then, she climbed out of bed, walked to the window barefooted, opened both windows, and looked up to the night sky.

Yang Dingtian walked over and covered her half-naked body with clothes. All he saw was Ningning with her eyes closed, reaching her hands out of the window and whispering some beautiful words.

About five minutes later, a Night Vision Bird flew over out of the darkness.

Ningning opened her eyes, touched the bird and said, “This Night Vision Bird will be my eyes and view all of Horror Mountain Village from the sky. This way, we’ll be able to find the center point. However, during this time, all of my focus will be concentrated on this Night Vision Bird, so don’t let anything disturb me or touch me. Otherwise, my concentration will be completely ruined.”

Yang Dingtian was surprised, but he pulled out the Flame Feather with a serious face. He stood guard next to Ningning and said, “I will be by your side. I won’t let anyone interrupt you unless it’s over my dead body!”

Ningning smiled gently. Then, she placed the Night Vision Bird right in front of her, staring into its eyes as if she was trying to inject all of her consciousness into it.

One minute.

Three minutes.

Five minutes!

The eyes of the Night Vision Bird became brighter and brighter, more and more radiant. Meanwhile, Ningning’s eyes became blurrier and blurrier, more and more mysterious.

Then, Ningning suddenly loosened her hands, and the Night Vision Bird flew out into the darkness, flying upwards towards the night sky. It hovered over the mountain village.

Beast language masters were apparently so powerful and mysterious.

Yang Dingtian held the Flame Feather and looked out into the darkness. It was as if a strong enemy could come at any moment. The wait felt like a year as he was afraid that something might happen suddenly.

“Chirp…”

A few minutes later!

Following the sound of the bird, the Night Vision Bird rushed out of the darkness once again, flying back to Ningning’s hand. Nothing had happened after all. Ningning’s eyes recovered their brightness, and she took out a tiny pill and placed it into the bird’s mouth as a reward.

The Night Vision Bird happily swallowed the tiny pill and kissed Ningning’s palm.

“Go…,” Ningning said gently, staring after the Night Vision Bird as it spread its wings and flew away, disappearing into the darkness.

Ningning quickly took a piece of paper and used a pen to draw the general shape of the village.

“The entire village is round with half of it being fiery red land and the other half being a green pool. There are countless tall towers within the mountain village, but there are six that are the tallest. Among them, there are five towers distributed across five corners, forming a pentagon. At the center of this pentagon lies the tallest tower, also known as Burial Tower, the place where the Zhao family buried their deceased for generations. The Millennium Owl that was locked in the crypt is located right beneath the Burial tower and is heavily guarded. Unless Zhao Mu brings us there, we won’t even be able to enter.”

Yang Dingtian looked at the shape of the entire village drawn on the map. Half of it was fiery land while the other half was a pool of water. This is the half Yin and half Yang land that Xuanwu Fengyan mentioned before.

The five tall towers on the map formed a pentagon.

Half Yin and half Yang, resembling the Tai Chi on earth. Combined with the five-pointed star-shaped towers, it naturally formed a perfect Yin Yang Five-Element Formation.

The center of the Burial Tower was right at the center of the Yin Yang Five-Element Formation.

Yang Dingtian was excited as all these characteristics naturally formed a perfect Yin Yang Five-Element Formation.

In recent days, he had just been hunting for demon nuclei and had not yet had time to find a place to build the formation. Furthermore, the place also played an extremely important role as, without a place for Yin and Yang to blend, it was impossible to form the Yin Yang Five-Element Formation. On top of that, even if such a place was found, the size of the formation and its strength would also have to be considered. If the formation isn’t big and strong enough, the amount of Xuan energy of Heaven and Earth being condensed would be less and would not be sufficient for Yang Dingtian to break through to become a Six-star Xuan Martial Artist.

Now, a Yin Yang Five-Element Formation that covered two to three thousand acres was right in front of him, and he hadn’t needed to do a thing. How could Yang Dingtian not be surprised and excited? Probably, the Horror Mountain Village was itself a huge array that was built just to seal the Millennium Owl. Only, at this point in time, it had also become the ideal place for Yang Dingtian to set up his formation.

Currently, he had obtained four of the demon nuclei and the Yin Yang Five-Element Formation. All he had left to acquire was just one electric demon nucleus.

There was an electric demon nucleus inside the brain of the Millennium Owl, probably the only such demon nucleus within thousands of kilometers.

“Even if the Millennium Owl is sealed, it is still extremely powerful. Accordingly, as soon as we enter Horror Mountain Village, we should have been able to detect its presence, but I couldn’t detect it because of this Burial tower. This tower is the burial ground for all the top masters for generations, and the Yin energy there is so strong that it completely concealed the scent of the Millennium Owl,” Ningning said: “Okay, let’s go back to sleep. We’ll enter the Burial Tower tomorrow and try to find the entrance to the crypt that will lead us to the Millennium Owl.”

Then, Ningning took off the clothes covering her and sneaked back into bed half-naked.

“Sister Ningning, will that little thing betray us as soon as it goes back to its master?” Yang Dingtian asked.

“It won’t. None of the mental demonic beasts are loyal, and they listen to whoever is stronger. I believe that within thousands of kilometers, there won’t be a Mental Beastmaster who is stronger than me,” Ningning said. “Let’s sleep. We have important things to do tomorrow.”

At this time, only two and a half days remained before the Yin Yang Festival!

On the second day, Zhao Mu really did come to greet them early in the morning. He accompanied both Yang Dingtian and Ningning to explore the entirety of Horror Mountain Village right after breakfast.

Ningning didn’t look so good as if last night’s nightmare was still on her mind. Throughout the tour of the village, she showed a dissatisfied expression. Zhao Wu did not become unhappy because of that but instead explained more diligently.

Along the way, Yang Dingtian saw many tall towers, but five were particularly tall and different in color. They were fiery-red, ice-blue, ash-grey, golden-yellow, transparent and colorless.

The five towers were situated at the corners of the village to form a five-pointed star, representing the five elements

Oh God, this really was a natural Yin Yang Five-Element Formation that covered a few thousand acres! The owner of Horror Mountain Village built this array 300 years ago around the Yin Burial Tower to seal the Millennium Owl. At this moment, however, it was also the most ideal place for Yang Dingtian to break through.

Right now, Yang Dingtian was even more eager to get the electric demon nucleus of the Millennium Owl.

After exploring for more than two hours, they finally walked to the center of the Horror Mountain Village according to the original plan. Yang Dingtian couldn’t help but ask about the 100-meter-tall tower located not far away. “Young master, this tower is probably the tallest building in the mountain village. What is its purpose?”

Zhao Mu replied respectfully, “This is the burial ground of my ancestors.”

The Burial Tower was the entrance to the crypt where the Millennium Owl was located. They had to find a way to enter.

Yang Dingtian instantly replied respectfully, “So, it is the place where your ancestors reside. We have been causing so much trouble for you all since we came to the village. We must definitely enter and pay our respects. Please lead the way, young master.”

Zhao Mu immediately said, “I don’t dare. Both of your statuses are so high. How can I do so? Our Horror Mountain Village definitely cannot be so disrespectful towards both of our precious guests.”

“Ning Que, what’s so good about that place?” Ningning said with a seductive tone. “I don’t want to go.”

Yang Dingtian, acting as Ning Que, rolled his eyes. Meanwhile, Ningning, acting as Qin Hongmian, tried to appease him and said, “Okay, go, go, go. Zhao Mu, please lead the way.”

“But,” Zhao Mu struggled and said.

“Just lead the way. Why are you stalling?” Ningning complained: “Could it be that there is something that we shouldn’t see inside?”

“The two of you really want to enter?” Zhao Mu asked.

Ningning threw a temper tantrum again, and Yang Dingtian quickly said, “If we don’t go after knowing what is inside, our elders will say that we’re not educated.”

“Okay then, this way please!” Zhao Mu said. Then, he led Yang Dingtian and Ningning towards the hundred-meter-tall Burial Tower.

……

The Burial Tower was even more spectacular when observed up close.

At the moment, the door was shut, but there was still a cold Yin energy around. There were hundreds of guards posted around the surrounding plaza with countless giant poison arrows hidden at different areas. It could be said that this Burial tower was the place that had the tightest security in the entire village.

Zhao Mu went in front and knocked on the door lightly.

“Who is it?” An old man’s voice sounded out. The owner of this voice must be a top master.

“It’s me,” Zhao Mu said.

“The giant wooden door opened, and a cold Yin aura instantly rushed out, causing people to feel chills and their vision to darken. When the door was completely open, the inside looked completely dark as if it were the mouth of a devil.

“The two of you, this way please!” Zhao Mu bowed and said.

Yang Dingtian and Ningning both took deep breaths and stepped into the huge Burial Tower.

Right after stepping in, the surrounding air immediately turned cold, and the temperature inside was at least ten degrees colder than the outside. Ningning’s body couldn’t help but shiver.

After entering and looking up, Yang Dingtian and Ningning couldn’t help but stare in wonder.

This hundred-meter-tall tower didn’t have many floors. It had only just the one that was a hundred meters high.

Furthermore, the walls of the tower were filled with coffins. The inside was pentagonal with five faces. Every five meters, there was a huge black coffin with half buried in the wall and the other half jutting out.

Hundreds of huge black coffins were suspended on each face, layer by layer, with a corpse within each coffin. Upon entering the hall, they found that they were completely surrounded by coffins and couldn’t help but tremble. Their limbs turned cold, and they were suppressed to the extent where they could barely breathe.

Ningning slowly closed her eyes and focused her mind to find the scent of the Millenium Owl.

The yin energy was extremely rich here, and the bodies of hundreds of powerful people had previously masked the Millennium Owl’s scent. But, there had to be the hint of a trail, and the place where the scent of the Millennium Owl would be was where the entrance to the crypt lay.

Ningning was suppressing her fear as she walked through the spacious tower. Looking up at hundreds of hanging coffins, she sighed. However, all of her focus was on looking for the scent of a Millennium Owl.

One minute, two minutes…

Five minutes!

Though Ningning was somewhat disrespectful, Zhao Mu did not stop her but stood on one side.

When she passed by one of the bricks, Ningning stopped for a while, and her expression changed a little.

She’d found it. It was right here, the brick under her foot. Ximen Ningning felt a powerful energy that even the strong Yin energy in the tower couldn’t conceal. This was undoubtedly the aura of the Millennium Owl.

The spot was also the central part of the entire tower.

The Millennium Owl was right below.
