Chapter 1714: Chapter 1714

“How did you come in?”

Alex took a glance at them. Weren’t they the two old men that were playing chess at the pavilion whom

he just saw? He looked at the two people and said, “Two seniors, what is this place?”

Out of the two old men, one was fat while the other was skinny. They both had white beards and white

eyebrows. Certainly, those were not their physical bodies. They were just afterimages that appeared

inside the place after their divine consciousness had been sucked in.

The fat one said, “If you don’t know where this is, how did you come in?”

Alex honestly replied, “I saw the two of you playing chess when I came in here. I watched it for a while

but I didn’t expect my divine consciousness would be sucked here.”

The skinny one said, “You went into the Seven Star Residence?”

Alex remembered that when he walked through the bamboo forest and saw the garden-style house, the

three words ‘Seven Stars Residence’ were certainly written on the plaque. He nodded. “Yes, I’m a

freshman at the Flying Eagle Academy who wants to enroll in the Formation Department. A young girl

at the admission counter said she wanted to put me through a test. She said that I would only be

considered to have passed the test after going through the bamboo forest and entering the house.”

The skinny old man said, “ You’re talking about Gabby. She’s my granddaughter. That’s right, if you

want to enter the Formation Department, you do need to go through a rest. But Old Yuron and I have

worked together to set up the Seven Star Force Field at the Seven Star Residence. No ordinary man

can enter it. Kid, tell me the truth. Who sent you here? Was it that old hag, Madam Drachen, who

asked you to come and steal our Star Formation Board?”

“Star Formation Board?”

Alex looked above his head.

This surely was not any ordinary chessboard.

“Who is Madam Drachen? I don’t know her! As for this Seven Star Force Field of yours, with all due

respect, this force field is too crude, and it’s the same as the Wandering Formation inside the bamboo

forest. You must’ve set it up according to the formation blueprint of the Wandering Formation, right? I

think those who can pass through the Wandering Formation can easily

break through that Seven Star Force Field.”

The two old men were instantly furious.

“Kid, how dare you underestimate our Seven Star Force Field?”

“Then tell us, how did you break through it?”

Alex shook his head. “I didn’t break through it.”

He just found the loophole easily.

The fat old man immediately glared at him. “Then, it must be Madam Drachen who broke it. You’re still

denying that you’re going after the formation board. That old woman has been eyeing the Star

Formation Board for a long time. Now, she’s finally impatient. She actually sent a kid to come and steal

it! What a wishful thinking!”

The skinny old man said, “Since you’ve entered the Star Formation Board, don’t you ever think about

going out there within seven days. Stay here and have a self-reflection properly!”

Then, he asked the fat old man, “How many days have we come here?”

The far one showed his fingers. “Three days.”

“Ah, then we should be able to get out in another four more days!”

After saying that, he sat on the ground, looked at the stars in the sky, and sighed. “This Star Formation

Board is really too profound. I don’t think we will ever be able to understand it in our lifetime.”

The other one said, “You’re probably right. We’ve been in here twenty three times, yet we still don’t

have a clue. This Star Formation Diagram is constructed with ancient runes. With the two of us

together, we only recognize a dozen ancient runes. What a drop in the ocean! Hmph, even if this

formation board is given to Madam Drachen, she must be like us and wouldn’t

know where to start as well.”

Upon hearing their words, Alex roughly understood it. When one entered this place, he would

automatically go out after seven days.

However, this was not the only way to get in and out. They should be able to get out if they could solve

the

Star Formation Diagram above them.

He would not want to stay in this place for seven days.

So, he walked to the corner of the chessboard and looked at the stars in the sky. Soon, he found some

hints. Those stars were actually the nodes of the Star Formation Diagram. Whereas, this diagram was

all encompassing and was very huge, containing three hundred and sixty small formation blueprints.

It immediately gave Alex a huge headache.

It was the collection of three hundred and sixty formation blueprints. How long would it take for him to

solve such a huge thing?

However, he noticed the first small formation blueprint in the entire collection corresponded to the

formation blueprint of the first sword of the Dragon’s Bane of Thirty-Six in his hands, the Sword of the

Universe.

He was very familiar with this formation blueprint.

At that moment, he made a seal with one hand, hooked the ancient runes and guided the nodes of the

formation blueprint to their orientation.

Whoosh!

The star-like nodes above his head were slowly shifted by him.

When the two old men saw that scene, they abruptly jumped up and stared at the nodes. They looked

at Alex again and shockingly ran up to him.

“Kid, you know how to shift the astral nodes?”

“You understand the formation?”
