Liang Pan and Stonefeather noticed that Lin Feng's iron tree clone had secretly left to follow the Crimson Thunder Dragon King. However, they did not pay much attention to it. Most of their attention was on Lin Feng's main body and Jade Capital Mountain.
Apart from that, they also separated a portion of their divine senses to secretly pay attention to Lin Feng's iron tree clone, in case something unexpected happened.
However, Lin Feng had already made arrangements for this. The iron tree clone was indeed following the Crimson Thunder Dragon King on the surface because Lin Feng vaguely felt that something was wrong with the other party.
However, there was another purpose in the dark. It was to attract Liang Pan and Stonefeather's attention, so that they could secretly sneak in.
Magical talismans gathered together and wrapped around a figure, as well as the Worldbreaking Stone and the Heavenly Turtle Golden Pearl. Then, the figure turned into an inconspicuous dim spot of light. While Liang Pan and Stonefeather were slightly distracted by the iron tree clone, the figure quietly descended Jade Jing Mountain.
The talismans formed a mysterious array. Under the cover, even Liang Pan and Stonefeather did not discover it.
The plan of deceiving the heavens was a preliminary success.
Lin Feng smiled inwardly, "That's why I have to focus on mastering the new Dharma technique. That's why I rushed to Ying Sea. As the old saying goes, sharpening the axe will not delay the work of cutting firewood."
If Liang Pan and Stonefeather were fully focused and merged with their creation treasures, it would be hard to say whether they would discover it or not. However, now that they were slightly distracted, the speck of light that was like a speck of dust had already disappeared among the clouds of Ying Sea.
Although they could not really find any traces, Liang Pan and Stonefeather's hearts skipped a beat at the same time. Their instincts told them that the situation seemed to be developing in a direction that was disadvantageous to them.
However, the Dao of Space-Time, Causality, and Fate was shrouded in fog. They could not see clearly with their cultivation. They only felt that something was wrong, but the source of this feeling was not easy to identify.
For Stonefeather, it could be from Liang Pan, Lin Feng, or someone else who had entered Ying Sea.
For Liang Pan, it was the same situation.
However, compared to Lin Feng's confident appearance, Liang Pan and Stonefeather were more inclined to believe that the problem lay with Lin Feng.
"What did he do?" Liang Pan frowned slightly. His mind connected with his doppelganger on the faraway Fangzhang Immortal Mountain. He continued to search for Penglai Immortal Mountain while keeping his guard up.
After Zhu Hongwu, who was also on Mount Fangzhang, heard Liang Pan's clone's report of the situation, his brows also twitched. He said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, you suddenly felt something. It shouldn't be a coincidence."
Liang Liang nodded and said, "We have to find Mount Penglai, but we can't be impatient. We can slow down. It doesn't matter even if we wait until the next time the three mountains appear. As long as the Great Zhou Dynasty occupies Mount Fangzhang, we will always have an advantageous position in the battle of Ying Sea."
"If we find Mount Penglai, Hongwu, you will be in charge of collecting it. My clone will drive Mount Fangzhang and be on guard in case of any unexpected situations."
Zhu Hongwu replied, "Subject obeys the imperial decree."
After arranging the matters of Mount Penglai and Mount Fangzhang, Liang Pan focused his attention back on Lin Feng and Stonefeather. At the same time, he paid attention to the situation of Mount Penglai below.
Zhu Yi, Li Yuanfang, Monk Da Kong, King Jingfang of the Great Qin, Wang Shilin, and the others had already officially entered the ancient formation of the immortal mountain.
When they landed on the huge jade boards, Zhu Yi and the others immediately felt the scene in front of them change slightly.
It was as if they were immersed in water. The waves swayed, and most importantly, they couldn't hear any sound. Everything in front of them turned into a mixture of black and white. Everything had lost its color.
Fortunately, their divine senses could still be transmitted, and magic power transmission was also not affected. After carefully analyzing the mysteries of the formation, Zhu Yi took out the Li Qing Jade Set. "Senior Qing Like, you entered this formation with Dao Master Jin Luan before. Now that we want to break the formation, we also need your experience."
The Li Qing Jade Set emitted spiritual power fluctuations and turned into a voice that rang in the ears of Zhu Yi, Li Yuanfang, and the others. "This formation was born of heaven and earth and is accompanied by Mount Yingzhou. The human cultivation world of the Divine Land generally refers to it as the Nameless Ancient Formation."
"This formation is now extremely weak. It can only deprive me of color and sound. When I entered the formation with Dao Master Jin Luan, my five senses, including sight, touch, and hearing, were all deprived. Only my subconscious can still move, and my divine sense can still operate and explore."
The Li Qing Jade Set had now been refined by Lin Feng. It regarded Lin Feng as its master and called its former master by the honorific title of Dao Master Jin Luan, just like Zhu Yi and the others.
"But even so, my divine sense has been severely weakened, and the range it can extend is extremely limited." Qing Like continued, "This formation is even fused with the layers of illusions of the Ying Sea. When our perception is severely damaged, it is very easy for us to fall into the illusions."
"Dao Master Jin Luan fell into the illusions because of this and died."
Zhu Yi and the others nodded. After the exploration of generations of experts, the Nameless Ancient Formation at the periphery of Mount Yingzhou had become famous.
It was rumored that in ancient times, when the three mountains of Ying Sea had just appeared, the power of the Nameless Ancient Formation was at its peak. It could even deprive a cultivator of their divine sense and consciousness. Once a cultivator entered the ancient formation, they would immediately be unable to think, speak, think, or move. It was as if they had entered a state of suspended animation.
In a situation where there were many other dangers, such suspended animation was no different from real death, and they would soon lose their lives.
Later on, the Grand Emperor had attacked the Nameless Ancient Formation and heavily injured it, greatly weakening the ancient formation. Only then did the people who entered the formation not have their consciousness deprived.
Only if their consciousness was not deprived could they have other follow-up methods to study how to break the formation. As a result, the people who entered the formation continued to attack it, causing the Nameless Ancient Formation to become weaker and weaker.
Qing Like continued, "Based on my previous experience of entering the formation with Dao Master Jin Luan and being trapped in the formation, only to be able to escape because someone else tried to break the formation, the method of breaking this nameless ancient formation is different from breaking ordinary formations."
"The formation's eye is the Immortal Mountain of Yingzhou that is surrounded by the formation. If you can't break the formation, you won't be able to touch the mountain at all, so it's useless to find the formation's eye. The materials used to set up the formation are not fixed, but the layers of illusions in this Ying Sea."
When Li Yuanfang heard this, his eyes flickered slightly. "To break this formation, you can either destroy it from the outside with absolute strength like what the Grand Emperor Palace did earlier, or you can use the most ancient method to break the formation, which is to analyze the formation's patterns."
A long time ago, when the Dao techniques of the human race and the demon race were still in the ascendant, there were already Array Formations. However, these Array Formations were not deduced by cultivators or great demons according to their own cultivation methods. Instead, they were created after analyzing the natural Array Formations like the nameless ancient Array Formation in Yingzhou Immortal Mountain.
It was just like how the most primitive humans would sometimes imitate animals and carry out bionics.
The birth and development of formations had also gone through such a process in the earliest days. After analyzing natural ancient formations and sorting out the principles of heaven and earth contained within, they would integrate and perfect the cultivator's own Dao technique, and then simulate it.
After that, be it the human race or the demon race, with the development of time, the Dao techniques they grasped became more and more prosperous and profound. Only then did they completely break away from the shadow of imitating natural ancient formations. Instead, they could use their own Dao technique as a foundation to deduce brand new formations and use the tremendous power of heaven and earth as they wished.
Qing Like gave a definite answer. "That's right. If you want to completely break this ancient formation, you need to completely analyze the formation's patterns."
He pointed at Zhu Yi, Li Yuanfang, and the others and said, "According to my experience, this ancient formation is actually not a ball, but a giant loop. It only became what it is now because of the distortion of space."
Zhu Yi turned to look at Li Yuanfang. "Sixth Junior Brother, what do you think?"
Li Yuanfang was not in a hurry to answer. Instead, he squinted his eyes and studied the formation. After a careful calculation in his mind, he answered, "Second Senior Brother, we can split up and meet again at the end. We can consolidate our gains and summarize them. It'll be faster this way."
"That's what I think too." Zhu Yi nodded. "This formation distorts space. Even if we split up and meet each other in a semicircle, we won't have to worry about running into the cultivators of other forces. It's just like Master's Purple Qi Maze. The people who enter the ancient formation in stages will be in overlapping yet independent space planes. If we don't break the formation, Monk Great Void and King Jingfang won't be able to break through the distortion of space and time to meet us. In this way, even if we split up, your safety will be guaranteed."
Lin Feng's Purple Qi Maze had been used for the first time when a Foundation Disciple was promoted to a true teaching disciple. He had also used it later on. After Zhu Yi and the others' cultivations became more profound, they could also simulate and recreate it. Therefore, Li Yuanfang also knew the principle behind it.
The two of them made up their minds, but it left Qing Like slightly dazed. Zhu Yi's decision to split up implied that he and Li Yuanfang would each lead a team.
Qing Like had no doubts about Zhu Yi's cultivation, but Li Yuanfang, who only had an early-stage Golden Elixir cultivation, left him slightly dazed.
Jie Yu and White Light also revealed puzzled expressions. Previously, they had been in seclusion for a long period of time, so their understanding of Li Yuanfang was limited. They only knew that this dark-skinned and unassuming youth was also Lin Feng's personal disciple.
"In the Divine Land, those below the Nascent Divinity stage, including our own brothers and sisters in Xuanmen Tianzong, there are no more than five people who can defeat my sixth junior brother in the art of formations." As if he had seen through Qing Like and the others' puzzlement, Zhu Yi said indifferently, "Even among Nascent Divinity stage cultivators, there are many who are not adept in formations. These people are inferior to my sixth junior brother in the art of formations."
Qing Like and Jie Yu looked at Li Yuanfang in shock. Whether they had known him for a long time or a short time, they could tell that Zhu Yi was not a person who would lie or exaggerate.
But even so, what he said was a little too shocking.
On the other hand, Li Yuanfang was neither arrogant nor humble. Instead, he looked at Zhu Yi very seriously. "The Qin Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty both have Nascent Divinity stage cultivators after all. It is unknown whether there are people who are adept in formations among them."
"In order to save time and further increase our speed, second senior brother, please execute the Dragon Ascension Technique and lend me a hand."
Zhu Yi nodded. "Even if you didn't say it, I had the same intention."
After saying that, he immediately made a hand seal, and the silhouette of an azure dragon appeared in the air. With a mighty dragon roar, it coiled around Li Yuanfang's body.
