"This must be what they are looking for." Zhao Changhe gasped for breath, his tone excited as he spoke. "You have more experience than me, do you know what this represents?"

Luo Qi looked dazed, staring at the scene of the blood dragon circling the moon in the pool with a mix of sadness and joy in his eyes.

After a while, he responded in a low voice, "This is the activation of a certain restriction. It's possible that a hidden door that was previously invisible has now been revealed, or that a restriction that was previously deadly to touch has been lifted, allowing entry. Regardless of which one it is, the range should be nearby and not in a place that is difficult to reach."

"In that case..." Zhao Changhe weakly stood up and looked around.

The fantasy atmosphere grew stronger.

"The Blood God Sect settled here because of their technique. The blood's killing intent can activate the restriction," Luo Qi muttered to himself. "All the suffering you went through to learn Blood Killing Technique..."

"It wasn't for nothing, was it? This is called protagonist's luck. So many people who learned the Blood God Sect's technique didn't come here to drip blood," Zhao Changhe said, feeling much better now. He took big steps around the pool and said, "Come here, come here. I guess if there is a hidden door, it should be here."

Luo Qi followed him dreamily, but saw that Zhao Changhe was walking towards the mountain wall behind the waterfall.

Behind the waterfall, there is usually a depression or small cave due to the splashing water over the years. Of course, there is one here too, but Luo Qi, who was intentionally looking for something, had obviously seen it a long time ago and found nothing special. In fact, the Blood God Sect's disciples had come here countless times to search for something, and if there was anything, it should have been discovered long ago.

At this moment, however, Luo Qi agreed with Zhao Changhe's judgment. When the restriction was lifted, there was a high probability that a hidden door would appear here.

Sure enough, when the two of them passed through the waterfall and looked, a strange star map in the shape of a constellation of stars appeared in the rock depression that had nothing before, just like countless stars on a semicircular sky, looking very mysterious.

"This is still a formation that needs to be deciphered to enter the door," Luo Qi pondered for a while. "This star map looks a bit like the Blue Dragon Star Map..."

She reached out and touched each corresponding star of the Blue Dragon Seven Stars, and the star map flashed a faint light, but there was no further response.

Luo Qi's face turned ugly. "This reaction shows that the train of thought is correct, but the key point is missing... What is it?"

Zhao Changhe also frowned.

Luo Qi couldn't solve it, and he certainly couldn't either. However, the thing had already been revealed, and if someone else got there first, that would be unfortunate.

Although he had no idea what was inside.

"For the time being, this place shouldn't be discovered in the short term. After all, others should have searched here countless times and wouldn't bother to come in again," Zhao Changhe said decisively. "We have to try to find this key point in the next few days."

Luo Qi looked at him with a complex expression and whispered, "You can try to ask Sun Instructor indirectly. As for how to ask..."

Zhao Changhe was also annoyed. How do you ask about this?

"I'll give it a try," Zhao Changhe muttered to himself. "In any case, the greatest hope of getting out of the current situation is here."

Luo Qi turned to look at the pool outside, where the scene of the blood dragon circling the moon had disappeared. From the outside, nothing had changed.

...

"Did you break through?"

Early the next morning, Zhao Changhe went to see Sun Instructor as usual. Seeing that he was obviously more aggressive, Sun Instructor knew that he had broken through.By the way, it's not normal for ordinary martial artists to be able to tell someone's cultivation level just by looking at them, unless the grandmasters have some special method. Even Fang Duozhu had to ask Luo Qi to reveal his Xuan Guan level before he could know his strength. Sun Jiaoxue only knew that Zhao Changhe had broken through last night, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to tell his cultivation level.

That's why there are so many disguised assassinations in the martial world, and many heroes have fallen to this.

"I broke through." Zhao Changhe answered calmly, without any hint of displeasure. "I tested it out and my explosive power doubled instantly, and my ability to withstand attacks has significantly improved. Xuan Guan level one is indeed powerful."

Sun Jiaoxue didn't comment on that and looked at him for a while before saying, "After practicing Blood Sha Art for a long time, the Sha Qi will boil and bite like ants, and ordinary people can't bear it, so we need to take Blood Suppressing Pills to control it. Actually, it's not just during the breakthrough, but it could happen anytime. It's just more obvious during the breakthrough... That's why Blood Sha Art allows outsiders to learn it."

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Changhe interrupted him calmly. "I know. Actually, you wanted to say something before, but you hesitated a few times... It's just that, I can't blame you, I can only blame myself for being too impatient."

He also knew that if he had stopped practicing this evil art half a month ago, he might have been able to withdraw in time. But once he practiced it for too long, it was too late. He had probably reached the threshold of breakthrough yesterday.

The best solution seemed to be to continue practicing Blood Sha Art. It was said that Blood God Art could eliminate these side effects, which should be true. Or maybe there was a stronger grandmaster who could give him guidance.

Sun Jiaoxue also said, "I see great potential in you. The Fang family has been neglecting you, and I always think it's a waste of talent. I may be transferred back to the headquarters in a few days, and I will report to the leader about Fang's behavior and try to get you officially into the sect. Then we'll see if there's a chance to learn Blood God Art."

Zhao Changhe was stunned. "Are you leaving, Master?"

"It depends... on the result of a certain matter..." Sun Jiaoxue didn't say more and just said, "Anyway, it will take some time to know. In the meantime, I'll teach you Blood Sha Sword Technique... Don't worry, although Blood Sha Sword Technique is more powerful when combined with Blood Sha Art, it doesn't have any negative effects itself. It's a good sword technique. Even if you switch to another cultivation method in the future, you can still use this sword technique, just change the way you use your energy."

"Thank you, Master. By the way, I heard about formation arrays. Is my current cultivation level enough to learn it?"

Sun Jiaoxue wondered if he was being suspicious, but he felt that Zhao Changhe's calm appearance today was still polite, but there seemed to be something else behind it... He couldn't tell whether he was blaming him or not. But he didn't care. It was normal for a young man to have emotions in this situation. He would soon realize that this was how things were in the martial world. Nothing went as planned. It was precisely because you were controlled that the Holy Sect would trust you more. For example, formation arrays involved the core of the sect, and it was okay to talk about it now.

"Do you want to learn formation arrays?" Sun Jiaoxue said, "Learning too many things at once is not good. You don't have that much energy."

"I still need to know how to break them. If I walk around the martial world and get trapped in a formation array, I'll be dead if I don't know how to deal with it...""You still want to travel the world... heh..." Sun Teacher laughed, "But your statement is correct. At the very least, you need to understand some basic knowledge of breaking formations."

"Please teach me."

"Breaking formations is all about two aspects: the formation's core and its sequence. For example, the Three Talents Formation requires you to find the correct sequence and break the human formation first before breaking the earth formation. If you rush towards the heavenly formation, it's no different from hitting a wall. And for formations like the Big Dipper Seven Stars Formation, you need to first locate the position of the Heavenly Pivot and gain control of the formation's core..."

Sequence and formation's core.

Zhao Changhe remembered Luo Qi's operation. She could understand the stars within the range of the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions and identify which ones belonged to the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions. Her approach was correct. This was already good enough. Zhao Changhe couldn't understand it, and if he pressed the wrong buttons, the door might explode.

But Luo Qi was limited to this. She obviously couldn't break the correct sequence and followed the conventional order of the stars, such as the Horn, Neck, Root, Heart, and Tail. Thus, she couldn't open it.

Thinking about it, it wasn't difficult... He just needed to study the star charts in this world and find out which mansion was the most crucial one among the Seven Mansions. That would be the formation's core.

Sun Teacher continued, "Currently, you're completely ignorant. Even if someone sets up a formation, you won't even know. So, let's start slowly. At the very least, learn the Bloodthirsty Blade technique. The accompanying footwork has some formation elements. By analogy, you will gradually master it..."
