A streak of white light quickly streaked through the air at the speed of a mid-Body Integration cultivator. Among the three people sitting in the cabin, Shi Jinming was controlling the assault boat. As for Yi Tian and Wan Gang, they were sitting cross-legged in the main cabin to rest.
For this operation, Yi Tian had already explained his speculations to Wan Gang in detail. After Wan Gang was informed, he would naturally act according to the plan.
However, after using the Four Yang Sealing Formation, Yi Tian found that the White Tiger Formation was located in the same direction as Yan Qiu's call for help, he had no choice but to treat this matter with caution.
In terms of relationship, Yan Qiu was naturally closer to the Netherworld Child. However, he was also a shrewd person and knew that he had to take advantage of both sides. If either side were to become too powerful, it would be disadvantageous to him. On the surface, it seemed that the Netherworld Child was at a disadvantage. Now that Shi Jinming had invited him to form an alliance to deal with the Netherworld Child, he wouldn't have agreed so easily.
However, Yan Qiu had gladly agreed, but he had requested that Shi Jinming go ahead and save him first. There were many doubts in this matter, but Yi Tian knew that there were many variables in this operation, so he had to make some preparations.
Along the way, Yi Tian didn't deliberately adjust his breathing. Instead, he took out a large amount of treasures from his storage ring and began to refine spirit tools. Even though he was pressed for time this time, he was able to quickly craft an Ice Crystal Shield, a pair of Assault Gloves, and a Storm Cloak based on his skill in refining weapons. The Ice Crystal Shield was left for Wan Gang. His attack power was quite good, but his defense was slightly lacking. With this item, his overall strength would increase by a level.
Although Yi Tian knew that Wan Gang also had a defensive spirit tool, it didn't matter if he had one more. After Wan Gang received the Ice Crystal Shield, he hastily expressed his thanks and began to silently refine it with his spirit power.
As for the Assault Glove, it was left for Shi Jinming to use. Previously, when they were traveling together, Yi Tian discovered that Shi Jinming, as the number one cultivator of the Stone Clan, had an astonishing defensive power. Even though he was at the late-Body Integration Stage, it would take some effort to break through his defenses. It was just that Shi Jinming's attacks were too simple and crude, and they all relied on his clan's talent and the strength of his physical body.
After some thought, Yi Tian concluded that the characteristics of the Assault Glove were unusually compatible with his innate ability. Furthermore, Shi Jinming wasn't adept at flying in the first place, so speed was definitely his shortcoming. When facing an enemy, no matter how strong an attack was, it would be useless without speed. Shi Jinming's body was huge and his strength was extraordinary. If he could make up for his weakness in speed, he would be a headache for the Netherworld Boy.
The Gale Cloak could increase a cultivator's movement speed by 30%. For Shi Jinming, it was a rare item. Moreover, Yi Tian was the only one among them who knew his true cultivation, so Yi Tian gave him some preferential treatment.
After Shi Jinming took the spirit tool and began to refine it, Yi Tian took over the controls in the main cabin and quickly flew towards their destination.
This time, Yi Tian learned from Yan Qiu's jade talisman that he was trapped in a place called the Heavenly Pond. However, he didn't have a map of the Celestial Realm, so he didn't know the exact location of the Heavenly Pond.
He could only rely on the senses of the Four Yang Sealing Formation to find the White Tiger Pearl.
After flying for a few days, he spread out his spiritual sense and found that there was an invisible wall of Qi that blocked his spiritual sense. Yi Tian estimated that they were about to reach the Heavenly Pond that Yan Qiu mentioned. Soon after, he transmitted a message to the other two in a low voice.
After flying for close to 30,000 kilometers, the Assault Boat gradually slowed down. Soon after, three figures jumped out and stabilized themselves in the air. After Wan Gang spread out his spiritual sense to investigate, he showed a hesitant expression and said, "It seems that the area in front of us can block our spiritual sense. We have to be careful when we enter."
Shi Jinming also had a solemn expression. After trying a few times, he agreed, "From the information given by Yan Qiu, we didn't go in the wrong direction. Moreover, I feel that we should be almost there. He's most likely trapped not far away."
"Fellow Daoist Shi's words are correct," Yi Tian added. "From what I can see, the area in front of us covers about five thousand kilometers. The range of the Stone Soldier Eight Formations has reached its limit."
"I've heard that Fellow Daoist Yi is proficient in array formations. What do you think of the Stone Soldier Eight Arrays?"
"Although my spiritual sense can't penetrate into it to investigate, just by looking at the murderous aura in the air in the distance, I can tell that the formation is powerful." Yi Tian sighed and said, "If we enter this formation by mistake, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble. If it's light, we will be trapped and unable to get out. If it's serious, we will trigger the formation and be trapped until we die. "
Hearing this, Shi Jinming and Wan Gang couldn't help but twitch their eyelids. Since this came from Yi Tian, it naturally couldn't be wrong. The two of them still trusted Yi Tian's attainments in formations. After thinking about it, they showed some fear on their faces and showed some intention to retreat.
Seeing this, Yi Tian smiled faintly and said, "Please don't worry. These formations are mostly the same. There will only be some nested killing formations. As long as we act carefully and don't touch those restrictions, it won't be difficult to get out. "
"In that case, please lead us into the formation, Fellow Yi Tian," Wan Gang said hurriedly.
"No hurry, we still have to do some preparations," Yi Tian said as he took out two five-inch glass bottles from the storage ring and handed them to the two. There was a red wasp in each of the glass bottles, but its strength was only at the fourth level.
After Wan Gang and Shi Jinming received the wasp, they were also at a loss. After sizing up Shi Jinming, they asked, "Fellow Daoist Yi, is the wasp's cultivation level too low? It's only at the fourth level. Is this kind of spiritual insect really useful?"
Yi Tian raised his head and laughed, "Don't underestimate the wasp in this bottle. This insect is called 'guide wasp'. It is born with the effect of seeking luck and avoiding danger in the maze illusion. Each of you hold one in your hand. If you get lost in the 'Stone Soldier Eight Formations', you can rely on its natural ability to find the way. As long as you don't touch the restriction mechanism in the formation, it won't be difficult to get out of the formation. "
Hearing this, Shi Jinming and Wan Gang's faces were slightly relieved. The two of them were not good at formations. If they rashly broke in, it was very likely that they would be trapped like Yan Qiu.
Yi Tian continued to say, "There's a mark that I left on this jade bottle. I can also rely on the mark to sense the two of you."
Wan Gang was overjoyed when he heard this. "In that case, we'll have to trouble Brother Yi. I wonder if we should go in now?"
"There's no hurry. Let's go to the entrance of the formation first," Yi Tian shook his head and said, "As far as I know, the 'Stone Soldier Eight Formations' set up by a formation master will change the path inside according to the passage of time. I want to choose the right time to enter so that the danger can be minimized."
"But after we enter the Celestial World fragment, there's no distinction between day and night. Brother Yi, how are you going to choose the time to enter?" Shi Jinming, who was by the side, asked in confusion.
"It's not difficult now," Yi Tian replied faintly, "After the Celestial World fragment lands in the Spiritual Realm, it will be connected to it. After that, the time and space will naturally synchronize. Although there's no distinction between day and night after we enter, I've always been recording the time. "
After saying that, he reached out his hand and took out an hourglass and a sundial clock from his storage ring. After gently holding it in his hand, Yi Tian calculated carefully before saying, "We've been in here for almost 30 days. It's midnight now. If we want to break the formation and save people, it's best to wait until noon tomorrow to enter. "
"What's the reason for this?" Wan Gang asked.
Yi Tian stretched out his hand and pointed to the ground with a smile. "I wonder if the two of you have paid attention to the frequency of the fluctuation of the Celestial Core Power in the Celestial World fragment after entering?"
After Wan Gang and Shi Jinming looked at each other, they shook their heads in confusion and replied in unison, "No, we haven't."
"I've tried to pay attention to the frequency of the Celestial Core Power in this world. I might not be able to detect it in ordinary places, but I can find it in several important buildings in the 'Luo Tian Immortal Palace'. The frequency of the Celestial Core Power between day and night can still be traced," Yi Tian explained.
"What's the change in the Celestial Core Power?" Wan Gang asked.
"Originally, the Celestial Core Power contains the Black Yellow Qi. During the day, the Celestial Core Power is slightly stronger than the Yellow Qi, but it's the opposite at night," Yi Tian explained, "There's a reason why I chose to enter at noon tomorrow."
"Please enlighten me, Fellow Daoist Yi," Wan Gang asked sincerely.
"In the middle of the night, the Yellow Qi is exhausted, and the Celestial Core Power is just born. By noon, the Celestial Core Power has reached the level of Di Wang. As the saying goes, yin is born and yang is destroyed. Although the newly born Yellow Qi is weak, it's unstoppable. Therefore, it's the most chaotic moment of the day when the Black Yellow Qi is in a stalemate, "Yi Tian explained.
"In that case, that moment will also indirectly affect the power of the Stone Soldier Eight Formations, right?" Wan Gang asked.
"That's right," Yi Tian nodded and replied, "We'll take advantage of the time when the Black Yellow Qi is in chaos to directly enter the formation. At that time, the chaotic Celestial Core Power absorbed by the formation base of the Stone Soldier Eight Formations will greatly weaken its operating speed."
"However, once the Celestial Core Power between Heaven and Earth is restored again after this time, the power of the formation will definitely return to the past," Shi Jinming asked.
"I've also considered this. Because the Black Yellow Qi is constantly changing, the formation will change from one balance to another as time passes," Yi Tian explained, "For example, when the Celestial Core Power in the Stone Soldier Eight Formations is stronger than the Yellow Qi, it'll be a trap formation. When it's the other way around, it'll become a killing formation."
"In that case, when we enter, we'll have to deal with the killing formation for half a day first," Wan Gang said, "When the Black Yellow Qi changes again, it'll be a trap formation, right?"
"It's more or less like that. That's why I gave you the Guiding Bee and the defensive spiritual weapon respectively. I think you should know how to use them properly," Yi Tian said.
Shi Jinming and Wan Gang looked at each other when they heard this. They saw the surprise in each other's eyes at the same time. They did not expect Yi Tian to have already thought of a countermeasure before entering the formation. As such, the two of them naturally became more confident.
After slowly descending from the cloud, the three of them noticed a thick fog below them. After walking for half a mile, they suddenly saw a stone tablet that was ten feet high in front of them. The three words' Tian Que Pu 'were written in golden seal script. Shi Jinming's face was filled with joy as he said, "It's here! What should we do next?"
"Let's go in and take a look first," Yi Tian said. He immediately took the lead and walked in front to open the way. The two people behind him followed closely. The three of them deliberately kept a distance of 50 feet from each other.
After walking for a few miles, Yi Tian found that his Divine Thought was suppressed by the thick fog. He could only detect the situation 200 feet away at most. This kind of fog encirclement was somewhat similar to the Fog Trapping Array that he had learned, but its power was much stronger. However, his Bewildering Mist Trapping Formation was unable to block the spiritual sense of a Body Integration cultivator.
Looking back, he could still vaguely see Shi Jinming and Wan Gang's figures at this time. Yi Tian slowly stopped, then he said in a deep voice, "We should have entered this' Stone Soldier Eight Formation '."
"How do you know?" Shi Jinming hurriedly asked behind him.
"Look at your feet. We should have stepped on a lot of formation patterns," Yi Tian replied.
Shi Jinming and Wan Gang glanced over at the same time. Sure enough, they saw that there were strings of dense spiritual array talismans under their feet.
"Don't panic, we are still at the periphery of the big formation. This is just a trap array nested on the periphery of the 'Stone Soldier Eight Formation'," Yi Tian said, "Continue to move forward, don't stay here for long." After that, he stepped forward.
After walking for less than half a mile, Yi Tian looked back and couldn't find Shi Jinming's figure behind him. He extended his Divine Thought backward and found that it was compressed to a range of 30 feet and couldn't extend forward.
After standing in place for a few breaths, Yi Tian still couldn't find the two of them. Then, he began to look at the surrounding environment carefully with a solemn expression.
He didn't expect that the trap array on the periphery of this' Stone Soldier Eight Formation 'had so many tricks. It actually made the two Combination Stage cultivators behind him lose track of it under his nose.
Now that his Divine Thought couldn't work, his vision couldn't help but blurred and he couldn't distinguish the direction clearly. Thinking of this, Yi Tian's heart sank. He knew that they should have fallen into a trap. Fortunately, he gave each of them a 'guide bee', hoping that they could continue to explore with the innate characteristics of these spiritual insects.
After thinking about it, Yi Tian smiled helplessly. Then, he took out the 'Four Sun Sealing Formation' disk and held it in his hand. After the white tiger formation spirit appeared, it immediately pointed the direction. Seeing that, Yi Tian locked in the direction, put away the disk in his hand and continued to walk forward. Although he couldn't lock in Yan Qiu's position, he could find the netherworld boy according to the instructions of the 'Four Sun Sealing Formation' disk.
This matter was getting more and more interesting. However, since this big formation was so mysterious, Yan Qiu and the netherworld boy wouldn't be any better. These two were most likely trapped somewhere in the 'Stone Soldier Eight Formation' waiting for him.
