Since this method didn't work, Miao Yi immediately tried another method. He punched the ground.
Boom! The sound of metal clashing reverberated in all directions as a bowl-sized hole appeared on the ground.
Miao Yi was taken aback as he looked at his clenched fist. He didn't expect the ground to be so hard. Even with his cultivation, he could only make a bowl-sized hole with a single punch.
After a moment's hesitation, he understood. The ground here had already been hardened by the pressure of the planet's rotation. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to hold the pillar so tightly that he couldn't pull it out.
With a flick of his hand, the Inversed-Scales Spear appeared in his grasp. Boom! He stabbed the spear into the ground, sending rubble flying.
Looking at it, using a weapon was clearly more effective than using his bare hands. A hole the size of a stove appeared before his eyes.
Miao Yi looked up at the red crystal pillar. It was still a hundred feet deep. If he continued digging like this, he probably wouldn't be able to dig it out even if he spent an entire day.
Pa! He slapped his forehead as though he had thought of something. He put away the Inversed-Scales Spear and tossed out a mantis to test the waters. He wanted to see if the red mist would affect them. He wasn't sure if the blood mist here was the same as the one in the small world. After all, the blood mist here wouldn't turn from red to white.
The results weren't bad. The blood mist here didn't affect the mantis at all. He immediately released all thirty-five mantises he had brought with him.
Before coming here, Yun Zhiqiu's original intention was for Miao Yi to bring all eighty-five praying mantises with him for self-defense. However, Miao Yi felt that if even thirty-five praying mantises were useless, bringing all eighty-five praying mantises along wouldn't be of much use. Now that the mantises had gotten used to the way they were raised, even if Miao Yi wasn't around, he could still leave them for Yun Zhiqiu and the others to survive.
Directing his thoughts, Miao Yi pointed at the ground. The thirty-five mantises immediately surrounded the red crystal pillar and quickly got to work. Using their claws and fangs, they dug down with all their might. The digging was quite effective, and soon, the hard ground was riddled with holes. All thirty-five mantises burrowed into the ground, and the sound of digging could be heard.
An hour later, Miao Yi was almost at the bottom of the red crystal pillar as he continued to check his progress. He was about to try and see if he could pull the pillar out, but as soon as his hand touched the pillar, his expression abruptly changed.
He could clearly feel the aura surging out from the holes dug by the thirty-five praying mantises. The ground trembled slightly, and as it trembled, cracks appeared on the ground.
Miao Yi was shocked. With a wave of his hand, thirty-five mantises quickly leapt out from the hole.
Retracting the praying mantis, Miao Yi quickly leapt into the air. Almost as soon as his feet left the ground, a loud crashing sound could be heard from below. Suddenly, the ground began to crack and crack, sinking and rising.
Miao Yi could no longer see the situation below him as he rose into the air due to the blood mist's influence.
Rumble!
The sound of mountains collapsing and the earth cracking suddenly grew louder. Hearing this, the Heaven's Eye between his eyebrows opened again, and a beam of light shot out, scanning the changes below.
The platform at the top of the mountain had collapsed, and the red crystal pillar was stuck askew on it. The mountain peak, which had lost its balance, seemed to be squeezed by an inexplicable force. Such a huge mountain peak was being squeezed upward at a visible speed.
The cobweb-like radiation force around the mountain peak twisted and distorted like a broken dragon. As if it had come alive, it twisted and broke, arched and collapsed. Smoke and dust filled the air and mixed into the bloody mist.
"Whoosh … whoosh …"
Just as the ground began to change, a gust of wind suddenly howled in the sky, causing the bloody mist to roil violently. Miao Yi didn't know what was happening, so he quickly looked around.
High up in the sky, the group of rebels also heard the loud sound of the mountains collapsing and the earth splitting. Just as they were listening attentively, a sudden gust of wind blew, and the airflow in the surroundings gradually became more intense. The wind blew wildly, and the blood-red mist below seemed to have lost control, breaking through the boundaries of its defense and gushing out.
The rebels were shocked. They didn't want to be targeted by the 'Unlucky Beauties', so they quickly took to the skies and looked down at the changing planet.
No one said a word. The rebels, including the Six Paths General, stared at the planet's changes.
"Look!" Someone suddenly pointed at the other ten Auxiliary Stars.
The Six Paths General quickly looked around. It wasn't just the planet beneath his feet, but the other ten Auxiliary Stars were also undergoing a huge change. The first thing he saw was the violently roiling bloody mist.
Soon, the 'Unlucky Beauties' enveloping the eleven Auxiliary Stars all lost control. They all gushed out like steam from a steamer, like eleven bloody flowers blooming in the starry sky. It was a magnificent sight!
As soon as the bloody mist reached the starry sky, it slowly dissipated into nothingness.
The bloody mist on the Auxiliary Star in the middle was also roiling violently. However, unlike the Auxiliary Stars, it wasn't gushing out. Instead, it was gradually thinning and shrinking. Gradually, a pitch-black mountain peak that hadn't been seen for hundreds of thousands of years emerged from the bloody mist.
The rebels focused their attention on the Auxiliary Star, and many of them had excited looks on their faces.
However, the changes on the Auxiliary Star didn't go as they had hoped. They didn't see all the 'Unlucky Beauties' disappear. Only a portion of the Auxiliary Star's body had thinned out, revealing quite a few mountain peaks. The situation on the Auxiliary Star quickly stabilized, but there was still a large patch of bloody mist shrouding the planet.
On the other hand, the bloody mist on the eleven Auxiliary Stars seemed to have lost its ability to regenerate and survive. Its color gradually faded, and the planet that had been shrouded in bloody mist for many years gradually became clear again.
It didn't take long before the eleven darkened planets appeared before everyone's eyes.
Miao Yi kept a close watch on his surroundings. When the bloody mist had completely disappeared, he casually tossed out a grilled fish. Seeing that there were no changes, he slowly poked a finger out of the starflames to test it, and found that there were no side effects.
After confirming that there were no problems, Miao Yi then completely retracted the starflames protecting his body. With a wave of his hand, he released Yun Aotian and the others.
The five of them hovered in the air and looked around at the clear sky. Under the illumination of the sun, the black mountains rose and fell. Only the mountain peak beneath their feet continued to rise. It was obvious that the pressure underground was still being adjusted.
Yun Aotian asked, "Is the formation broken?"
"It should be," Miao Yi casually replied.
Under the shocked gazes of the five, Miao Yi suddenly jumped down and grabbed a tilted red crystal pillar on the mountain peak, then pulled it out. He had a bunch of women at home, so he had to earn money to support them!
The corners of Yun Aotian and the others' mouths twitched. 'This guy has struck it rich again.'
Coincidentally, the Great General of the Six Paths descended from the sky with his troops. The group watched as Miao Yi grabbed the red crystal pillar that was over a hundred feet long and stored it away.
Seeing a bunch of traitors staring at him, Miao Yi returned to the sky after reaping some rewards. He laughed dryly and said, "It would be a pity if it got buried."
The Great General of the Six Paths didn't care about such things at all. He was very excited, but his expression didn't change. Meng Ru stared at the rising mountain peak and asked, "The formation isn't completely broken yet?"
Miao Yi replied, "It should be. I'm guessing the pressure underground is still being adjusted. Once it's balanced, it should stop."
Meng Ru said, "The unfortunate beauties on the eleven auxiliary planets have all disappeared. The secondary planet hasn't changed much, so I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to take a look." Her tone was much more polite now.
"Not a problem!" Miao Yi chuckled, then coughed dryly and changed the topic. "The Glorious Star immortal herb is a great healing herb. It seems like quite a lot of it has grown on this planet."
Yun Aotian and the others cursed in their hearts. 'You're still thinking of getting rich at a time like this?'
"Men! Go and collect all the Glorious Star immortal herbs on this planet. " Shi Yunbian immediately gave the order. He then turned to Miao Yi and said, "As long as you can save the six Great Generals, all the Glorious Star immortal herbs on this planet will be yours. Now, go and take a look at the secondary planet."
Miao Yi wasn't going to let this opportunity go so easily. He had already planned this beforehand. If he could break the formation, then he would, but if he couldn't, then he would hide in the 'unfortunate beauties' and think of a way to get help. Now that the formation had been broken, his next step was to find the six trapped Great Generals and retrieve the treasure. Then, he would seize the opportunity to take the six Great Generals as hostages and use their lives as a guarantee to leave this place.
Others might not know about the situation in Lord White's treasure trove, but Miao Yi had experience. The hostages were definitely ready-made and could be used as blackmail. It wouldn't take much effort.
If that was the case, how could he wait for the six Great Generals to collect the Glorious Star immortal herbs and hand them over to him? The longer he waited, the more trouble he would have. Naturally, he wanted to get his hands on the treasure now. Once he had the hostages, he would leave immediately.
Miao Yi said seriously, "Just now, I used up too much energy to break the formation. I need to rest and recover. Why don't I take this opportunity to collect the immortal herbs first …" He revealed a 'you know what I mean' expression.
The Great Generals of the Six Paths looked at each other. Shi Yunbian then gave Miao Yi a meaningful glance. He then slowly turned around and ordered, "Do it immediately!"
"Yes!" Someone acknowledged and left.
Soon, a large group of rebels flew over from the sky and began to search for the Glorious Star immortal herbs on the secondary planet.
Miao Yi landed on the ground and sat down cross-legged to meditate.
A few days later, a large group of people came from all directions to search for the Glorious Star immortal herbs. A storage bracelet was handed over to Shi Yunbian.
Shi Yunbian looked at the contents of the storage bracelet, then tossed it over to Miao Yi, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation. "The item you wanted is here. I believe you've mostly recovered by now?"
Miao Yi picked up the storage bracelet and invoked his transcendence energy to have a look. The items inside were so dazzling that they could blind a dog's eyes. His eyebrows twitched violently!
Even though he didn't know if the other party had delivered every single Glorious Star immortal herb on this planet to him, there was already a lot in the storage bracelet. Under such circumstances, there was no point in worrying about whether there were any missing items.
However, since he was putting on an act, he couldn't make things too ugly. It wouldn't be right for him to recover as soon as he received the item. He sighed and said, "Just let me rest for another day." He then put away the storage bracelet without batting an eyelid.
'The Glorious Star immortal herb on this entire planet!' Yun Aotian and the others stared at him as he put away the storage bracelet. They couldn't help but curse in their hearts. 'Who knows how much this bastard has gotten this time. Judging by his behavior, he must have struck gold again.'
