Shu Feng was reading the Basic Formation Manual for a whole hour already. He never stop reading it until he memorized and comprehend the meaning behind it.
The Basic Manual was six inches thick and compose of more than millions of theories about the basic formations. It says that everything can be made into formation. Lines could create a formation. Stones could create formation. Even sticks, people, blood, beast and anything.
He read the manual for full hour and manage to memorized everything inside it. The only thing he needed to do right now was slowly comprehend those theories and basis that he read.
Take for example a Water Formation, it was just a small scale formation that tends to summon a water. Since everything can be made into formations then Shu Feng guesse that he can create a formation in the mid air using his own energy.
First, he needs to draw its base which is the Energy Source gathering formation. After that he needs to put on the top of it another formation which is the Water Element Seperator Formation. This formation will then seperate the water element from the other ones.
After that, Energy Source Converter Formation would then put on the top of the Water Element Seperator Formation. This formation would convert the designated element that got seperated.
And then for the final step, he only needs to activate the three formations at the same time and they would converge into one another, successfully creating the Water Formation.
After converging the formation mid-air, it got activated and a burst of water suddenly came out of it making Shu Feng bath in a warm and refreshing water.
He find it odd since the manual says that it would just summon a ball of water that is just enough for a single drink.
He observed the formation for another round and trying to comprehend what is wrong.
"Aha!" Shu Feng suddenly shouted out of nowhere that startled Kei who was silently meditating. Kei looked towards his Big Brother and got confuse at the round complicated object hovering in the mid-air.
"What is that Big Brother?"
"Oh? This is a Water Formation that is used to create a 'burst of water.' The only problem here is that I think the effect was different since I used my Chaos Energy which enabled the surrounding Energy Source to gather around it several times faster than the normal." Shu Feng said while poundering about it.
Kei didn't understand a single thing that his Big Brother told him but think that it was something amazing so he just nodded in excitement.
Shu Feng was still dripping wet due to the burst of water. And when he saw Kei at his side, he suddenly got an idea.
"Hey Kei, do you want to see the effect of this formation?" Shu Feng ask without showing any evil intention.
Kei just nodded in response without knowing what will happen to him next.
Shu Feng just pulled Kei making his face close to the formation for about just three inches apart. After that, Shu Feng activated the formation out of nowhere after he moved far away.
'Splash!'
A burst of warm water shot into Kei's face that caught him off guard. When the formation was deactivated, Kei was twitching everywhere while his whole body was bath in the water.
Shu Feng was trying to hold his laughter but failed and just rolled to the ground knowing that he fooled Kei and he looked horrible right now.
"Hahahah..."
Laughter resounded throughout the cave where one guy was drenched in water while the other was dying due to laughter.
.....
Everything finally calmed down after few minutes. Shu Feng and Kei already change their robes into a blue one with the same style.
Shu Feng activated his Flawless Eye and Third Eye at the same time. When both are activated, he could see the same purple light but some has red or black color mixed in it.
Base on what he learned, the flaws on a formation could be either a trap nor a free space. Some formation masters purposely leave some flaws to divert the attention of the entrapped person. It can be either lead to death or kead to another formation or a trap.
As for the free space inside the formation, it was actually the safest spot on the formation that will lead you outside the formation.
But base on the manual, there are still some formations that didn't have a single flaw. In that case, the entapped person would need to discern and break the formation himself.
Shu Feng already memorized the ways on how to break Basic Formations so any fomations at the category of Basic would not be able to stop him anymore, unless it was some kind of new formations.
Base on Shu Feng's knowledge, this Illusion Formation was at least at the Complex Category. Luckily, he didn't need to memorize the Complex Formation Manual since this formation was already worn out and has some flaws which made it barely considered as a complex category.
"Let's leave this place right now. Follow my steps without missing any." Shu Feng said to Kei.
He didn't wait for Kei to respond anymore and made his first step. Kei just followed suit step by step.
After a few minutes, they finally manage to leave the Illusion Formation and saw a bright light engulping both of them. They just instinctively covered their eyes.
When they finally opened their eyes, what they saw was a the same inside of the cave but the stone ceiling was covered in purple stalagmites illuminates the cave with purple light.
They marveled on how beautiful the sight is.
On the Center of the cave was a very big stalagmite that almost reach the ground. And just below this gigantic stalagmite is a wide and a faint purple colored lake. It seems like some kinds of water was dripping from the stalagmite and towards the the lake.
Or maybe there wasn't a lake in the first place. It was just created due to the constant dripping of the water that came from the Stalagmite.
The lake was not deep and only at the level of their waist. Shu Feng tried to analyze the lake but he only gets questions marks. Even the stalagmites didn't give him any information even it's name.
'Is the level of my Analyze too low?' Shu Feng suddenly thought to himself.
*Ding*
"Yes. In order for the Host to identify the targets, Analyze Ability should at least reach level 4."
UG suddenly interjected. But Shu Feng cannot afford at the moment the cost for upgrading his Analyzed Ability to level 3 since it needs 10 000 SP. Not to mention Level 4.
But since he cannot identify those items, that would only mean that these are treasures. But the question is, how can he removed those stalagmites.
Shu Feng also used his Third Eye, he could not spot any traps nor formation. Even his Flawless Eye didn't detect any flaws coming from the stalagmites and the lake.
Shu Feng entered the lake so that he could inspect the gigantic stalagmite at the center. He told Kei to wait at the side for a moment.
As soon as Feng touches the water of the lake, a strange form of energy entered inside his body. He didn't know what kind of energy it is since it was different from the past energies that he encountered.
*Ding*
"Requirements had been met: 2/2
-Escape a Life Threatening situation: √
-Obtain a Treasure: √
*Ding*
"New Feature 'Luck' had been unlocked."
"Ultimate Lucky Spin had been unlocked."
"Luck is a part of our own strength. Being a powerhouse also needs to rely on our luck. Sometimes, a person with a tremendious luck would be able to defy the heavens and obtain greatness."
"Ultimate Lucky Spin was a wheel of fortune wherein you could spin and receive a random award. The greater your luck is, the more awesome your reward will be. It consumes Lucky Points that could be obtained through completing some missions. You could also convert 100 SP into 1 lucky point. But Lucky Points could not be converted into System Points. Lucky Points could also be earned if you become lucky. The more lucky you are, the more lucky points you would received."
'Oh? That was unexpected. But knowing that this lake is a treasure, then that would only mean that the giant stalagmite that is producing this water would be more precious.' Shu Feng thought to himself while feeling agitated.
'Yeah right, what is the energy that entered inside my body?' Shu Feng suddenly ask the question that he meant to ask a while ago.
*Ding*
"That was called Mythic Energy. The Host could store it inside your Inner World. As for the informations regarding this energy, it was currently unavailable."
'Guess it was not harmful then.'
"Kei, come here and cultivate here inside this lake." Shu Feng called out while also sitting at the edge to absorb the water directly and placed it somewhere in his Inner World.
Kei was absorbing the Energies in the lake while Shu Feng was directly placing the water inside his Inner World. Although he cannot place any living being at the moment, he could at least place some things.
But since his Inner World were currently unstable, it might destroy the things that he put inside it. But since the water contains Mythic Energy, then it might be beneficial for the growth of his Inner World.
"This is amazing! I feel like I could advance to another level again if I cultivates here for a full day!" Kei exclaimed when he felt a strange yet powerful energy entering inside him. And right now, some of his stars were even glowing in a silver light with a mix of purple color.
Shu Feng just smiled and didn't bother to leave a comment since he himself was only aware of it's name and nothing more.
After few hours, the lake was almost empty and only leaving a normal looking water. This was the looked of the water when it's energy was absorbed. As for who absorbs the energy, it was Kei since Shu Feng just stored the 'Mythic Water' (that is the temporary name that Shu Feng decided to call the water.) inside his Inner world and didn't try to absorb it's energy because he knows that his Chaos Energy was still the best.
All in all, he only absorb 80 percent of the Mythic Water while the remaining 20 percent was used by Kei in his cultivation.
"I feel like I become stronger several times than before!" Kei shouted suddenly when he felt like there was no Energy that he could absorb anymore.
"How about you Big Bro–" He was just about to finish his sentence when he finds out that the water level of the lake seemed to decrease for about 80%!
"Hey Brother Feng, did you just drink all the water while I was busy cultivating?" Kei ask while slowly bowing his head with a dark expression.
"Yes, don't be sad anymore. It was only natural that I get 80% and you get 20% because I am you Big Brother and the amount of resources I need is a lot more greater than you." Shu Feng said while keeping a straight face.
"And what's more, you were a lot weaker than me so it was only natural that I get to decide which one of us will obtain the most." Shu Feng said while looking at Kei with an evil grin.
"Just you wait Big Brother! I - - I will pay you back for bullying me!" Kei shouted while forcing himself not to burst in tears.
I repeat again, it was not a good sight to look at someone who almost looke like a seventeen years old crying like a kid. But what can we do? Kei was a twelve year old kid after all.
He was a Ancient Celestial Dragon, but in front of Shu Feng? He was just a kid and nothing more.
Shu Feng then sigh and walked towards Kei and pats him in his head.
"There, there, don't cry anymore. You are a Ancient Celestial Dragon so it would be somewhat diagraceful to see you crying." Shu Feng said while looking at Kei with sincerity.
But hearing him didn't make Kei felt any better instead he felt much more worse. But when he suddenly think of the time when he swear that he won't cry anymore due to the thought of being 'eaten' by his Big Brother, he forcefully stop his tears and pointed his finger at Shu Feng after backing a few steps.
"I am not crying!"
