CHAPTER 1512: CHAPTER 1512: DIVINE STONE IN HAND

Long Fei glanced around during his journey, the items sold by the vendors here weren’t particularly special.

Some of the stall items were looted from Mount Heng Sect and Azure Woods Mountain.

Everyone present was aware that these were stolen goods, yet they kept paying for them.

That’s how the Cultivation World is, survival of the fittest.

You die, and no one cares how you died, only if you have any Magical Treasure or useful value left.

They climbed up the mountain, the Ground Rat Demon King and Daoist Huo Ju were waiting for them on the slope.

This Purple Cloud Peak rises seven to eight thousand meters, though it’s shorter than the main Pillar of Heaven Peak, it’s still a giant in the outside world.

The mountain is heavily fortified, not just anyone can ascend.

Though the Wudang Sect is renowned for their Pills, they also have substantial expertise in formations, comparable to the formation-centered Kunlun Sect.

Daoist Huo Ju knows the area well, that’s why he managed to climb here safely.

Anyone else would have been swept by the restrictions, leading to their doom just by stepping wrongly.

This slope was probably Daoist Huo Ju’s donkey resting place back in the day.

The rock has a cave about three meters tall inside, filled with straw, reeking of donkey smell.

Wang Jie and Murong Chong knew Daoist Huo Ju well, it wasn’t surprising; they all nodded as a greeting.

They were unfamiliar with the Golden-Winged Roc and Sea Demon Ape, but all nodded in acknowledgment.

Chu Feng glanced around and curiously asked, "Why not continue upward?"

Daoist Huo Ju replied sheepishly, "When the ancestor went into seclusion, nobody was allowed here. I sneaked up following, only reached this far. I don’t know where the upward restrictions are. Recklessly venturing might risk my life."

Wang Jie looked up and said, "What is this Purple Qi exactly? It couldn’t come from nowhere, right?"

The Bald Dog jumped in and said, "We’ve studied it, this should be a refraction phenomenon of light. There might be something on the mountaintop causing light to refract, emitting purple light that covers the fog, hence the appearance of Purple Qi."

"This explanation is quite scientific!"

Chu Feng praised.

Long Fei also smiled and said, "Indeed, this is materialist cultivation! Every phenomenon must have its reason."

Wang Jie asked confusedly, "What could cause light refraction then? Look at this mountaintop, there’s nothing here?"

Long Fei squinted and said, "It should be the effect of a spatial barrier; there was the same situation back in the Mount Tai Secret Realm."

"Yes, Mount Tai was exactly when the Purple Cloud soared heavenward."

Murong Chong confirmed.

Wang Jie said, "Generally, during the enlightenment of a residence, this happens. Whether Purple light or golden light, all are extraordinary."

Chu Feng analyzed, "So, there’s a separate small world on the mountain?"

Long Fei nodded and said, "In the Ancient Era, masters could alter nature, usually extracting a fragment world from the void as their residence. Only the owner could enter these fragment worlds. Later, due to accidents or other reasons, they were discovered, hence various small worlds now!"

The Bald Dog, versed in formation and creation, shouted excitedly, "So, to enter a small world, we just need to find the Spatial Domain Gate?"

Daoist Huo Ju followed up, "The ancestor’s secluded training ground on the mountaintop, could it be where the Domain Gate is? Do you think the ancestor could still be in this small world?"

Long Fei and the others glanced at each other, naturally hoping the ancestor wasn’t there.

Otherwise, with what they’re doing to the Wudang Sect, they’d definitely be killed.

The Bald Dog eagerly wanted to assist Long Fei in breaking the formation.

The mountain’s formation isn’t like those minor formations encountered before.

This formation uses Earth Energy as its Formation Eye, theoretically, as long as the Earth Energy continues, the formation can operate indefinitely.

Entirely breaking this formation means confronting the mountain’s forces by manpower, an almost impossible task.

Dealing with such a formation, according to Bald Dog’s idea, is to use a disk to probe the Essence of Geomagnetism’s flow.

Seek fortune and avoid misfortune, act according to circumstances.

This kind of grand formation can’t possibly contain traps everywhere.

By sticking to safe zones, one can easily pass through the formation.

Of course, that’s assuming the formation is aged and unattended.

If someone were controlling the formation, regardless of how you seek fortune and avoid misfortune, the controller could change the formation’s direction at will, turning a fortunate place instantly into a killing place.

"Everyone, follow me; I’ll ensure your safety!"

The Bald Dog took out a disk, initially intending to show off his formation skills.

Long Fei didn’t give it a chance, took out the Tiger-form Geomagnetic Magical Treasure, and directly started walking along the mountain path.

The Bald Dog’s eyes lit up, shouting eagerly, "Whoa, is this the Essence of Geomagnetism?"

Long Fei smiled without saying anything; this item was found back at Tianzhu Mountain, left by Little White Tiger’s mother for Little White Tiger.

Ordinary people could only use it as a magnet, but in an Array Master’s hands, it is a weapon for breaking formations.

In essence, formations are merely causing imbalance of laws in a certain specified area through various Magical Treasures.

Like Yin Qi gathering, forming a ghost formation.

Fire Elemental Force gathering, turning into a fire formation.

Water Elemental Force gathering, becoming a water formation.

The Essence of Geomagnetism can easily release strong magnetic attractions, twisting the surrounding void laws, forming gravitational waves to disperse these imbalanced law fluctuations directly.

Using a formation to break a formation follows this principle.

For an unattended formation, carrying the Essence of Geomagnetism is like entering unmanned territory, allowing free movement.

The Bald Dog licked its face, tongue constantly hanging out, continuously flattering and fawning behind Long Fei, "Master, you already have so many Magical Treasures; it’s better to give me the Essence of Geomagnetism. With this, I could definitely dig up the ancestral graves of various sects!"

"Get lost!"

Long Fei laughed and scolded, telling him, "Stop wishing for this; it’s Little White Tiger’s thing; I’m just temporarily preserving it, and it needs to be returned to it in the future."

The Bald Dog argued, "I’m technically Little White Tiger’s uncle too; borrowing a nephew’s thing for a few days, I’ll return it when it grows up. It’ll be returned in the future anyway."

Long Fei rolled his eyes at him, saying, "Stop making connections; you, Dog Clan, have the same ancestor as the Tiger Clan? How are you someone’s uncle?"

The Bald Dog shouted, "Why not? We’re both canines, certainly the same family anciently."

"You know quite a bit."

Long Fei said that just as the void in front suddenly trembled.

A section of boulders boomed, spreading to all directions and exploded, making Long Fei’s palm tremble.

The hundred-meter radius slope instantly turned into ruins.

Grass, wood, and rocks all turned into ashes.

Dust rose into the sky, ascending over a dozen meters high.

Behind, Chu Feng and the others’ expressions changed and quickly shouted, "What happened?"

The Bald Dog, appearing expert, waved reassuringly to everyone, "Don’t worry, it’s just magnetic field meeting magnetic field, breaking a restriction just now."

Within the formation, the area above a hundred meters is where the Slaughter Formation resides.

If a person recklessly charged in, the Earth Energy sigils would explode, injuring heavily.

With the Essence of Geomagnetism in Long Fei’s hand, it’s like having a mine-clearing vehicle; all the mountain’s restrictions will explode early and break open.
