The development of the situation was indeed somewhat unexpected for Ye Huan. Regardless of the injuries sustained by the Living Dead possessed by the Hua Tuo, the mere fact that Yu Wuxia had fainted due to the impact of a large m67 fragmentation grenade made Ye Huan feel extremely troubled. After all, Yu Wuxia was the leader of Yuxu Palace, and Ye Huan was a disciple of Yuxu Palace. With the leader unconscious, how could he, as a disciple, stand by idly?
"In this dark place, Elder Yu, should I carry you forward or just leave you here?"
Feeling somewhat frustrated as he stared at the unconscious Yu Wuxia, Ye Huan found himself in a dilemma after dealing with the troublesome Living Dead possessed by the Hua Tuo. On one hand, he wanted to continue searching for the focal point of the Eight Gates of Immortal Trapping Formation to leave quickly and complete his plan to eliminate Heavenly Dragon Sect's Ten Protectors, Song Zhong. On the other hand, he feared leaving the unconscious Yu Wuxia behind to encounter further troubles. For instance, if he were to leave and another Living Dead appeared, wouldn’t Yu Wuxia be left to be devoured without a trace?
After pondering for quite some time, Ye Huan ultimately could not abandon Yu Wuxia. He chose to carry him on his back and continue down the underground passage. Of course, this did not mean that Ye Huan was particularly afraid of Yu Wuxia; rather, he believed that Yu Wuxia must not come to harm. If anything happened to Yu Wuxia in the underground passage leading to the Eight Gates of Immortal Trapping Formation, even if Ye Huan managed to escape, those elders from Yuxu Palace would surely not let him off easily. It was better to take this opportunity to bring Yu Wuxia out of here. Moreover, while Yu Wuxia might lack other skills, he was still Ye Huan's own disciple; out of gratitude alone, Ye Huan could not ignore him.
“Ah, what bad luck! Why did I choose to join Yuxu Palace back then?”
With a slight grumble, Ye Huan continued deeper into the dark underground passage with Yu Wuxia on his back, soon disappearing from the site where he had fought against the Living Dead possessed by the Hua Tuo.
Time passed without him noticing. After walking over a thousand meters with Yu Wuxia on his back, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in Ye Huan's line of sight. Having been in darkness for so long, he instinctively closed his eyes against the sudden brightness. At that moment, however, Yu Wuxia regained consciousness and exclaimed in shock from Ye Huan's back: “This is it! This is the focal point of the Eight Gates of Immortal Trapping Formation!”
“We’ve reached the focal point of the Eight Gates of Immortal Trapping Formation?”
Ye Huan couldn’t help but think that it was quite a coincidence for Yu Wuxia to wake up just then. He suspected that Yu Wuxia might have intentionally let himself be carried forward. However, upon hearing Yu Wuxia's words, Ye Huan decided not to dwell on such trivial matters and squinted ahead as his vision adjusted.
The focal point of the Eight Gates of Immortal Trapping Formation might lead many to believe it would be heavily guarded; however, reality was quite the opposite. The end of the underground passage where Ye Huan found himself was remarkably spacious—only about a hundred square meters in size—with nothing but numerous Inner Pearls hanging on the walls. In the center of the room stood a one-meter tall Transparent Crystal quietly upright on the ground; it seemed this crystal was what Yu Wuxia referred to as the focal point.
“Indeed, this is the focal point of the Eight Gates of Immortal Trapping Formation. Do you see that crystal? I once heard from my predecessor that the focal point is a massive crystal. If the Eight Gates of Immortal Trapping Formation is functioning normally, this crystal would appear milky white; however, if it lacks sufficient Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy to maintain its operation, then this crystal will look transparent.”
He pointed a finger at the transparent crystal, and Yu Wuxia appeared particularly excited. It was understandable; with the loss of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, the Eight Gates of Immortal Trapping Formation would soon be restored in his and Ye Huan's hands. This would greatly enhance their reputation in Yuxu Palace. To put it more eloquently, if the Eight Gates of Immortal Trapping Formation could indeed be reactivated, it might even elevate their standing within the Eastern State Cultivator Realm.
"Is that the core of the Eight Gates of Immortal Trapping Formation? It's just a broken crystal, isn't it? Also, Elder Yu, could you please get off me?"
Ye Huan, having seen diamonds in the Twenty-First Century, was not particularly impressed by the crystal. He didn't find it more captivating than diamonds. Besides, if he hadn't known that this crystal was the core of the Eight Gates of Immortal Trapping Formation, he probably wouldn't have been interested in it at all. In fact, compared to that enormous crystal, Ye Huan wished Yu Wuxia would just get off his back.
"Um... excuse me, could you let me down?"
After Ye Huan's reminder, Yu Wuxia realized how awkward it was to be clinging to Ye Huan's back. After all, he was the leader of Yuxu Palace! It was embarrassing enough that he had been knocked out by a massive m67 fragment grenade; if word got out, it would surely make other sect leaders in Eastern State laugh uproariously.
There was one thing Yu Wuxia didn't dare to admit: he had actually regained consciousness while still on Ye Huan's back. He had just been too embarrassed to move. It wasn't until they reached the core of the Eight Gates of Immortal Trapping Formation that he thought to use this opportunity to cover up his earlier humiliation. However, to his surprise, Ye Huan hadn't been completely captivated by the crystal that represented the formation's core. Fortunately, Ye Huan didn't mention what had happened before, allowing Yu Wuxia to save face.
"You're asking me to let you down? Who was it that kept pulling on my neck without letting go?"
Ye Huan rolled his eyes in exasperation. Upon entering the room and hearing Yu Wuxia's words, he instinctively raised his hands to shield himself from the slightly blinding light emitted by the Inner Pearl. Yet here was Yu Wuxia, still clinging tightly around his neck without any intention of letting go.
"Cough cough... cough cough..."
Finally releasing his grip on Ye Huan's neck, Yu Wuxia felt utterly humiliated but reminded himself that being the leader of Yuxu Palace wasn't something he'd achieved overnight; he had developed a thick skin over time. To divert attention from his embarrassment, he cleared his throat and continued:
"Ye Huan, didn't you say you could restore the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy needed for the Eight Gates of Immortal Trapping Formation? Well, we've found the core now; everything else is up to you. I dare say that as long as you can reactivate the Eight Gates of Immortal Trapping Formation, your plan to use it against Heavenly Dragon Sect's Ten Protectors will be a piece of cake..."
