Chapter 2652: Chapter 2652: Breaking the Formation
"They spent tens of thousands of years and generations of effort; how could it be easily broken?"
Seven Gem Slope sneered, "Do you think this family declined without reason back then? Was it a decline without cause? It was because these fools used all their resources to suppress me, and when they found they couldn’t completely erase me, they used the remnant souls of ancestors to keep me down."
"Originally, after these people died, they would release all their spiritual power to the next Family Head. This way, the family could always prosper."
"A master’s spiritual power is extremely astounding. The accumulation of thousands of years, nearly ten thousand, is very terrifying."
"Spiritual power can ultimately be cycled. Once this power is released and passed on to the next Family Head, that person’s abilities would advance by leaps and bounds!"
"Of course, this requires a special process; they begin preparing a hundred years before their imminent death."
"The family’s decline is precisely because there was no inheritance of this spiritual power."
"Now I want to leave; it’s very difficult."
Seven Gem Slope looked at the wall helplessly, but was full of fury inside.
A bunch of trash, a group of useless men, actually killed me.
And still wary everywhere.
"To leave, they must not recognize your soul." Julius Reed stared at the wall, starting to think. "But a person’s soul can’t be disguised; I have to say, they did a good job. This hall is just a cage."
"They prepared two hands against you. Since the ancestor’s telekinesis couldn’t subdue you, there’s also no way for you to leave."
"So this is why they built the dual spaces. This was built as a space for you."
Julius Reed walked through the hall.
No reaction.
Seven Gem Slope did not stop him.
Quella Radcliffe is still here; Julius Reed couldn’t possibly ignore her.
Though she disliked men, this particular man was not so bad right now.
At least Seven Gem Slope didn’t hate him, even somewhat liked him.
People, when lonely for long, find everything pleasing to the eye.
Standing at the hall door, Julius Reed opened the Eye of God.
Swept over, the wall was full of numerous runes.
The meaning of these runes is to activate the Ten Directions Killing Formation!
The text above, perhaps because the Eye of God was also part of this era’s people’s bodies, could actually be understood.
The entire runework was very complex.
Almost gathered all the wisdom of the people of that era.
Once Seven Gem Slope’s telekinesis appears, the formation will immediately activate!
And without mercy!
Not just the sides, even above, below, front and back, have killing formations!
Seven Gem Slope would die miserably regardless of the direction she exits.
"How’s it going?" Hawthorne, seeing Julius Reed coming out, with Quella Radcliffe still inside the hall and no sight of Seven Gem Slope, asked anxiously.
"There’s a bit of a problem." Julius Reed simply responded.
Jessica wanted to ask about her ancestor, but Hawthorne stopped her.
He knew Julius Reed doesn’t like being disturbed while thinking.
Such a complex formation, wanting to break it is extremely difficult.
Or simply an impossible task.
Tens of thousands of years of meticulous planning, how could it be broken easily?
But now Seven Gem Slope and Quella Radcliffe are one entity; if she can’t get out, neither can Quella Radcliffe.
Moreover, Seven Gem Slope’s telekinesis is within Quella Radcliffe, impossible to change.
Is there truly no way?
For the first time, Julius Reed felt a bit troublesome.
When the formation operates, it needs very strong spiritual power.
But because the Ten Directions Killing Formation is relatively small and not continuously operating for long times, the required spiritual power is very weak.
In other words, it’s in standby mode.
Only when the formation detects Seven Gem Slope’s soul will it directly trigger the killing formation!
Thus, cutting off the formation’s spiritual power source seems nearly impossible.
Julius Reed walked into the hall, continuing to observe.
Today, no matter what, he wants to take Quella Radcliffe away.
"It’s not doable." Seven Gem Slope said with a hint of apology: "I didn’t expect she would suck me in; otherwise, she could leave, but surely you would stay."
"Stay to accompany you?" Julius Reed chuckled lightly, defusing the tense atmosphere.
The hall plunged back into silence.
Seven Gem Slope was contemplating, Julius Reed was also pondering.
Even knowing it’s almost impossible, neither gave up.
"Originally, they didn’t think I’d be torn from the painting and released; can’t they be caught off guard again?" Seven Gem Slope broke the silence, regaining confidence.
The Hawthorne’s planning was impeccable, yet didn’t foresee Hawthorne breaking into the dual space!
Then he entered the hall and escaped the traps here, not dying by Hawthorne’s hand.
No one survived Hawthorne’s strike.
But Julius Reed did.
Subsequently, in a twist of fate, Hawthorne ripped the painting, releasing Seven Gem Slope,
an unexpected event for Hawthorne.
Two consecutive occurrences exceeded Hawthorne’s calculations.
Perhaps the third won’t be impossible either.
"If... cutting off this formation’s spiritual power source might be the only solution."
After much deliberation, Julius Reed figured the simplest, most direct, and universal method, is to cut off the spiritual power source.
This is the universal technique.
But where is the spiritual power source?
"The spiritual power is abundant here, impossible to drain dry. With your intelligence, you should deduce the formation doesn’t require much power and doesn’t need constant operation." Seven Gem Slope reminded, "To target me, they just need a little power to erase me. The surrounding spiritual power is ample; how could it all be absorbed dry?"
The grand mansion is surrounded by spiritual power.
Even long past its prime, Seven Gem Slope senses the spiritual power here is strong compared to outside!
A little formation doesn’t need a lot of power.
Draining the spiritual power here is even less feasible.
Might take a few thousand years?
Tens of thousands?
"No!"
Julius Reed shook his head, detecting the root of the issue.
"They pursue stability! The external spiritual power constantly changes, inherently unstable. Indeed, current spiritual power can keep this formation going, but what if it weakens?"
"By their methods, spiritual power isn’t sought for magnitude, but stability! Then the only stable spiritual power source!"
Julius Reed turned, pointing at the statues: "Isn’t it this telekinesis? They didn’t pass it to the next successor, just to use this power to sustain the formation!"
"The spiritual power needed for the formation is very little; this is enough to run for millions of years! Even longer!"
Julius Reed eyed those telekinetic remnant souls, with an idea.
"You were right, perhaps it’s truly this way. But even so, how can we eliminate them?"
Seven Gem Slope shook her head: "They might be afraid, but I still lack the ability to erase them."
"Perhaps I can."
Julius Reed extended his hand.
The ability gained from the Twin Dragon Jade Pendant might allow a try at draining them!
