Lu Xiaotian nodded at Fairy Yun Xia and the others, indicating for them to take care. Regardless of whether it was Lin Fang or Ban Hui Lama, the master and disciple, who had informed Fairy Yun Xia, it was still Fairy Yun Xia who had invited Xin Hong. This was a favor that could not be avoided. Otherwise, he would have suffered greatly in the hands of Zhao Qifeng, and there would be even more variables in the Dreamlike Swamp.
Since the Spiritual Flame Page had already been absorbed into his body, Lu Xiaotian did not want to take any more risks. He had no choice but to follow Xin Hong and the rest to the Dreamlike Swamp.
"Daoist Dongfang, take care." Yun Xia Fairy smiled. It was fine as long as he followed her. Regardless of whether it was Lu Xiaotian's current abilities or his attainments in alchemy, they would all be of great help to her in the future.
From afar, the fog was like a giant beast with no end in sight. It opened its mouth wide and swallowed the group of four.
"The abilities of immortals are not enough to withstand the illusions here. Daoist Dongfang, please hold your breath and conserve your energy. The three of us will take turns to open the path. We must find the Dreamlike Magical Stone before the other immortals."
With that, Zhao Qifeng extended his palm and a green pearl flew out from his palm. The green pearl seemed to contain a myriad of images. It flew into the void and spun. Sparkling light flowed out from the pearl, and in an instant, it enveloped a radius of a few miles. The fog in the surroundings surged over, but the green pearl seemed to contain an endless space. It kept sucking in the fog into the green pearl, but the green pearl did not seem to have any reaction.
In front of these three immortals, Lu Xiaotian felt that the strength of his Primordial Spirit was much stronger than the three of them, but he did not make much of a move. The fog around them was thick, and the three immortals blocked the attacks from the illusions in the fog. Lu Xiaotian minded his own business and took turns to cultivate the Dragon Pearl. He also secretly refined the Spiritual Flame Page in his body.
Everything went according to plan. Initially, Zhao Qifeng, Xu Suqin, and even Yunxia Sect's Xin Hong were very confident in their search for the Dreamlike Magical Stone. But later on, they started to feel that something was amiss.
The few of them wandered in the fog for more than a few days, but they found that they seemed to be going around the same place.
"There's something strange about this place. The immortal herbs on the ground and the various rocks seem to be the same. Could it be that we've been going around in circles for the past few days?" Xin Hong looked at Zhao Qifeng and Xu Suqin suspiciously. If not for the fact that Lu Xiaotian was still by her side, and that the two of them had spent a lot of effort on Lu Xiaotian, Xin Hong would have suspected that the two of them were up to something.
"It is indeed a bit strange. Fellow Daoist Zhao and I have been here before, but in less than a year, it has changed beyond recognition." At this moment, Xu Suqin's beautiful brows were also tightly knitted together. Clearly, she couldn't figure out why the sudden change in front of her had happened.
"In other words, we True Immortals have unknowingly lost our way in this fog." Xin Hong said with an ugly expression. She was in a bad mood, partly because of Xu Suqin and Zhao Qifeng, but mostly because of the shock in her heart. Her strength was much stronger than Xu Suqin and Zhao Qifeng, but she still couldn't sense anything strange. How could she not be shocked?
"Maybe we've encountered the Illusory Fog Maze Immortal Subduing Formation of this Dreamlike Swamp." Zhao Qifeng seemed to have thought of something, and his expression changed drastically.
"Illusory Fog Maze Immortal Subduing Formation? You know the origin of this formation? "Xin Hong asked.
"It's just a rumor. It's said that in the past, a mighty figure of the Heavenly Court had a great battle with a demonic cultivator who was adept at hiding in fog, causing a large amount of land to crumble. That demonic cultivator was on the land of our Immortal World, and was surrounded by the mighty figure of the Heavenly Court and a group of immortal soldiers and immortal generals. In the end, he was defeated, and it's said that he turned into fog and scattered throughout the Immortal World. There are also some who say that he had other methods to escape from the Immortal World. No one knows the specifics, but the traces left behind by the battle between the mighty figure of the Heavenly Court and the Immortal Emissary were left behind.
Zhao Qifeng took in a deep breath and said, "That level of battle is said to be a battle between Heavenly Immortals, or even Golden Immortals of the Great Firmament. Even if the sea turns into mulberry fields, and the passage of time, some of the techniques may not disappear with the passage of time. Instead, they continue to exist in certain situations. Some of the immortal and demonic formations have even undergone many changes, becoming even more strange and unpredictable. "
"Dao Friend Zhao seems to know quite a lot. However, despite knowing this, you still brought me here. Dao Friend Zhao is a little too bold." Xin Hong snorted coldly.
"Dao Friend Xin Hong, you're wrong. If we knew about this beforehand, who would take the risk so easily?" Xu Suqin was dissatisfied with Xin Hong's attitude. Although Xin Hong was not weak, against her and Zhao Qifeng, she might not be able to gain any advantage.
"It's pointless to argue now. Dao Friend Xin Hong, are you proficient in the Dao of Formations?" Zhao Qifeng asked.
"I know a little about the Dao of Formations. However, the formations here are not to be underestimated. It's already beyond the scope of my abilities." Xin Hong shook her head.
"The two of us also have some knowledge about formations. However, the maze formation here is not our forte. Looks like we can only take one step at a time." Zhao Qifeng and Xu Suqin did not know what to do at this moment.
"Dao Friends, if you don't have any ideas, why don't you let me give it a try?" Lu Xiaotian, who had been cultivating silently at the side, suddenly spoke up.
"You can break the formation?" Xin Hong, Xu Suqin and Zhao Qifeng looked at Lu Xiaotian at the same time.
"Before I break the formation, I can't give a definite answer. I can only say that I'll give it a try." Lu Xiaotian naturally would not give a definite answer.
"That's fine. Dao Friend Dongfang, if you have any ideas, why don't you tell us? After we succeed, we will definitely reward Dao Friend Dongfang." Xin Hong nodded.
"I've studied the Dao of Illusions for a period of time. However, my cultivation level is not as high as the few of you. I've already reached the True Immortal Stage. Deriving such a formation is extremely taxing on one's primordial spirit. I'll need to consume some special pills to replenish my energy. I had to spend a considerable amount of money to purchase those materials. If the three of you want me to break the formation, you'll need to pay me a certain amount of remuneration first. You'll need to hand over the Immortal crystals in your possession. "
Naturally, Lu Xiaotian was not one to play the good guy. Before taking action, he would first state his conditions. The amount of Immortal crystals required to cultivate the Dragon Pearl using his True Dragon body was beyond Lu Xiaotian's expectations. Not wanting to delay his cultivation progress for no reason, Lu Xiaotian would not miss out on this opportunity to squeeze some benefits out of the three True Immortals.
"If Dao Friend Dongfang's method is effective, paying some Immortal crystals will not be a problem." Zhao Qifeng felt somewhat unconvinced. He did not believe that Lu Xiaotian would have any good methods when even the three of them were at their wit's end.
