Hu Bayi looked at the entire star formation, studying it for a long time.
The others didn't disturb him, quietly waiting for him to speak.
Zhang Tian found the tomb chamber to be extremely vast, with too many coffins and too many positions within the star formations.
Hu Bayi couldn't take it all in at once, so he finally spoke.
"Boss, there are too many coffins in this tomb chamber, and the star positions are too complex. I suggest we scout the perimeter first, draw out the entire star chart, and then break the formation."
"This formation, I saw it in the Ban Shan Daoist arts. It's an evil formation, one of the most difficult to break," Hu Bayi said in a deep voice.
Zhang Tian understood what he meant and simply nodded.
"We'll listen to you," Zhang Tian replied.
Hu Bayi felt a warmth in his heart. He knew that in this team, there was no absolute superior or inferior. This was why Hu Bayi had always stayed with Zhang Tian.
Zhang Tian had never looked down on them, nor had he considered himself superior. They were all equals. Sometimes, Zhang Tian would even humbly seek advice.
This made everyone feel very comfortable.
"Alright."
Hu Bayi nodded slightly, his expression turning serious again.
Then, holding his compass, Hu Bayi's gaze once again focused on the star formation.
"Eight directions matrix, myriad stars in the universe, White Tiger guards the mountains, ten thousand phenomena remain unchanged."
Hu Bayi murmured, and his footsteps moved towards the edge of the tomb chamber.
"Boss, can I ask quietly, what is Old Hu muttering about?" Fatty asked softly in Zhang Tian's ear, looking at Hu Bayi's retreating back.
"Eight Directions Matrix. This tomb, from north to south, has eight serrated formations. The eight formations combine into one, with the universe contained within the myriad stars. This is also a place where White Tiger energy converges. Even if there are ten thousand possible situations within the tomb chamber, they won't affect the overall changes," Zhang Tian explained softly to Fatty.
This explanation was not just for Fatty, but also for Wu Tianzhen and the others.
"Got it, even more confused now." Fatty, wearing his turtle shell armor, waved his hand, looking dejected.
What the boss was saying was practically astronomical.
By now, Hu Bayi had walked around the star coffins for a long time.
This tomb was very large, and walking through it did indeed take a considerable amount of time.
"Boss, so many skeletons," Fatty pointed to the area where Hu Bayi had walked.
It turned out that at the edge of the star formation, many people had died here. They had tried to avoid entering the star formation and pass through here, but it was clearly impossible.
"I wonder what method Old Hu will use to break the formation," Zhang Tian felt a surge of anticipation.
Moving over eight hundred coffins one by one would be too slow. Zhang Tian was very curious about what method Hu Bayi had.
Soon, Hu Bayi had circled the entire tomb chamber and had also mapped out the positions of the star formation, albeit in his mind.
"Little Master Zhang, can we just blow this up?" Wang Banyue asked curiously.
"No, it's useless. Look at the coffins inside, some have been blasted, but even the coffins couldn't be blown open," Zhang Tian shook his head. If they could just blow it up, who would bother trying to break the formation?
At this moment, Hu Bayi fanned himself, deep in thought.
"Boss, this star formation is divided according to the White Tiger constellation. There are over eight hundred coffins in total, and these coffins are divided into seven star formations."
"They are Kui, Lou, Wei, Mao, Bi, Zi, and Shen."
"Old Hu, didn't you just say there were eight formations? Why are there fewer now?" Fatty asked, dejected.
"Idiot, the eighth star formation is the key to breaking the array!" Hu Bayi retorted, giving Fatty a look.
Wu Tianzhen, however, remained silent, quietly observing and learning from Hu Bayi.
But he realized that no matter how much he studied, he could never grasp Hu Bayi's thinking or reach the threshold of his understanding.
"How do we break it?" Zhang Tian asked directly.
"The White Tiger, in astrology and the Five Elements, belongs to metal. This Soul Locking Star Formation is also arranged according to the Five Elements of the White Tiger constellation. Have you noticed, all the coffins here have gold-inlaid edges?"
"To break the formation, we must turn the last star formation into fire, meaning it must become any one of the Vermillion Bird constellations, and then the formation can be broken," Hu Bayi said, his gaze becoming serious.
Zhang Tian naturally understood the principle, but while it sounded simple, it was incredibly difficult to execute.
One had to dismantle the star officials within the entire White Tiger constellation and then insert the coffins from the eighth star formation into the other seven star formations, all while forming a constellation.
That was truly challenging.
"Do you have confidence?" Zhang Tian asked.
"I'll try. Boss, didn't you say before that to improve your cultivation quickly, you must take risks?" Hu Bayi said as he walked towards the star formation.
Zhang Tian blinked. Had he really said something so philosophical?
"Oh my god, are we really going in?" Wang Banyue was startled, seeing this. Good heavens, knowing it was such a dangerous thing, they were still going in.
They were truly not afraid of death!
"Let's go, Fatty, what are you dawdling for?" Wu Tianzhen patted Fatty's shoulder, exasperated.
"Hey, fine, Fatty's life is in your hands now," Wang Banyue said, swallowing and then closely following behind the others.
The group entered the star formation.
As expected, the moment they stepped inside, an aura of death enveloped them.
The surrounding coffins seemed to come alive, trembling slightly.
"Quick, let the six of us each take a position. Boss, Second Brother, your strength is greater, please take two each," Hu Bayi said to Zhang Tian, his voice urgent.
Zhang Qilin nodded slightly. The next moment, his figure turned into a black blur, standing at the edges of the Kui and Lou star formations respectively.
Zhang Tian chose Wei and Mao. The others followed Hu Bayi's instructions and occupied one star formation each.
As they stepped into the star formation, the entire array began to operate.
The golden patterns on the coffins gradually changed.
The light of the patterns deepened, and the coffins shook with increasing frequency as time passed.
A slight misstep, and what was inside could leap out.
"Oh my, Hu, Comrade Hu, let's hurry," Wang Banyue shouted, his voice carrying from hundreds of meters away.
The tomb chamber was extremely vast, and the distances between the star formations were considerable.
Zhang Tian looked at the coffins that only reached his lower body. He shook his head slightly.
Although there were many coffins, their lengths and heights were not great.
The longest was only a meter, the shortest even half a meter, and the height was consistently around one meter.
They looked like boxes.
Hu Bayi looked at the densely packed coffins, feeling a sense of dizziness.
The entire tomb chamber seemed to be moving.
"Not good, this formation has an automatic function. Boss, there are mechanisms below. These star formations will change positions with the turning of the mechanisms. We must break the formation quickly."
"Everyone listen to my command! Lou, Wei, three parts merge into one! Tian Nan Triangle, each divides into eight directions, place one in each, Aries in its prime!"
Hu Bayi shouted. The next moment, Zhang Tian and Zhang Qilin leaped into the air.
Then, streams of energy continuously surged from their hands, pure qi pouring into their palms.
"Bang, bang, bang."
The next moment, Zhang Tian and Zhang Qilin struck almost simultaneously, at the Tian Nan Triangle, and from the other star formations, they each sent a coffin flying.
Eight coffins from Zhang Tian and Zhang Qilin's positions flew like straight lines into the other star formations, landing steadily in the corners of the respective formations.
This scene stunned everyone.
"Damn it, Tianzhen, this is not good for us," Wang Banyue was dumbfounded. So it was just the two of them who were ordinary people?
Fatty is truly QQ!
