Chapter 796 Ominous and Bizarre!

When the Moon Jade Rabbit heard Shi Hao address her as "sister-in-law," it was immediately stunned.

She blinked her big, round eyes, looked at Shi Hao, then at Qingyi, and asked with a face full of curiosity, "Sister Qingyi, when did you get a Daoist partner? How come I didn't know? Who is so lucky to be able to walk side by side with you, Sister Qingyi?"

Upon hearing this, Qingyi's face turned even redder, and she wished she could disappear into the ground.

She glared at Shi Hao, but couldn't deny it directly, so she could only stammer and remain silent.

Shi Hao, however, was quite generous and answered for her with a smile: "You've met Qingyi's husband before."

The Moon Jade Rabbit seemed to be deep in thought when it said, "I've seen him before? Who was it?"

Shi Hao grinned: "It's Brother Zhu Chen."

"Zhu Chen?"

The Lunar Jade Rabbit was taken aback at first, then its big eyes widened, and its small mouth opened into an "O" shape: "Could it be that ruthless Zhu Chen, who can take down a sect leader with a single punch outside and even dare to confront the Supreme Being of the Immortal Palace? He... he's actually Sister Qingyi's Daoist partner?"

Qingyi coughed softly and said in a low voice, "Don't listen to Shi Hao's nonsense. Zhu Chen and I are just..."

"Just what?"

Shi Hao mischievously interrupted Qingyi, then continued, "Sister-in-law, don't be shy. Brother Zhu Chen has mentioned you a lot to us brothers."

Qingyi's face was now flushed red to her ears, and she was too shy to speak.

Seeing her reaction, the Lunar Jade Rabbit immediately understood.

She clapped her hands with a grin and said, "That's great! Brother Zhu Chen is so amazing, and Sister Qingyi is so beautiful. You two are truly a match made in heaven!"

Qingyi glared at her, her face flushed, and said, "Little rabbit, if you keep talking nonsense, I'm not going to talk to you anymore."

The Moon Jade Rabbit quickly covered its mouth, but its eyes still couldn't hide its laughter, and it kept secretly enjoying itself.

Cao Yusheng stood to the side, nodding as if he had already guessed this.

He stroked a non-existent beard, adopting a mysterious air: "I've long suspected there was something between Miss Qingyi and Brother Zhu Chen, and it turns out I was right..."

Shi Hao didn't continue the topic. He glanced at the sky and then said to everyone, "I plan to go into seclusion for a while to consolidate my current cultivation level and prepare for breaking through to the True God Realm. Do you want to come along?"

Upon hearing this, the Lunar Jade Rabbit was the first to jump out: "Go, of course I'll go! I want to see what kind of good place a freak like you has chosen for seclusion."

Everyone nodded and then followed Shi Hao as they flew deeper into the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm.

A moment later.

Shi Hao and the others passed through layers of chaotic mist and returned to the ancient blue stone road they had previously traveled.

"This is it."

Shi Hao landed and scanned the surroundings: "I previously comprehended the Dao in this area and ignited three thousand divine flames, but this path is very dangerous. During my last seclusion, an ominous and strange thing appeared. I estimate that this time, when I stabilize my realm, it may attract some unknown things. You'd better keep a distance from me to avoid being affected."

The Moon Jade Rabbit shrank its neck, and said with some fear, "An ominous and eerie thing? What is that?"

Shi Hao shook his head: "I can't explain it either, but I can sense that thing is extremely strange, as if it comes from another world."

The Moon Rabbit blinked, as if it wanted to say something.

But just then, the God-Slaying Stone flew out from above Shi Hao's head with an excited expression: "Strange is strange, but this time I'm going to set up a magic array to capture that strange and ominous thing and see what it is!"

Cao Yusheng immediately became interested upon hearing this: "I agree with that. We'll have to take that step sooner or later. Why not work together now to thoroughly research that thing? It might be very useful in the future."

Han Li nodded in agreement.

He took out several array flags from his storage bag and began to observe the surrounding terrain: "The terrain here is special. The intersection of three thousand ancient bluestone roads contains a peculiar spatial power. If used properly, it can indeed be used to set up a powerful killing array."

Lin Dong rubbed his hands together and said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's set up the formation!"

Without further ado, everyone began setting up the grand formation.

Han Li and Da Shenshi are both masters of formations. One is proficient in contemporary restrictions, while the other is skilled in ancient formations. The two complement each other perfectly when working together.

But to Shi Hao's surprise, Cao Yusheng, this seemingly harmless fat man, was actually quite knowledgeable about setting up formations.

"Fatty Cao, you can even set up formations?"

Lin Dong watched in surprise as Cao Yusheng skillfully planted the array flags one after another.

Cao Yusheng chuckled and patted his belly, saying, "My master is the Xuan Turtle Ancestor. He is an expert in divination and formations. Although I haven't learned all of his skills, I have learned some of the basics."

With Cao Yusheng joining the team, along with Han Li and the God-Slaying Stone, the three of them worked together to set up the formation, which was extremely efficient.

As array flags were inserted into the void, runes flickered and intertwined, quickly forming terrifying killing arrays around them.

The power of these formations is layered upon layered, so much so that even a sect leader who accidentally enters them would likely find it difficult to escape unscathed.

"That's about it..."

Han Li wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the great array in front of him composed of countless array flags and runes, and nodded in satisfaction: "This great array is enough to trap a Heavenly God Realm expert. If that strange thing really appears, it should be able to trap it for a period of time as well."

The God-Slaying Stone flew triumphantly into the air, circling the great formation once: "I deserve the most credit! This time, I must catch that thing and see what it is!"

Looking at the great formation, Shi Hao felt much more at ease.

He took a deep breath, walked to the center of the formation, sat down cross-legged, and said, "Then I will go into seclusion here. I ask you all to protect me. If that strange thing appears, act according to the situation and do not fight it head-on."

Everyone nodded and retreated to the outer edge of the formation, finding places to sit down and cultivate while waiting.

Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, a chaotic mist swirled among the three thousand ancient bluestone paths, and the air gradually became cold and gloomy.

Shi Hao's mind was now completely absorbed in his body, and he began to touch the bottleneck of the True God Realm.

Outside the great formation, Han Li, Da Shenshi, and Cao Yusheng each guarded a key node of the formation, waiting for the unknown and strange object to appear.

Lin Dong, Luo Feng, and the others also spread out around, vigilantly observing the surrounding movements.

As time passed, an inexplicable and eerie atmosphere gradually filled the air.

It felt as if something was quietly approaching in the darkness.
