After rescuing Shi Jinming from the 'Bewitching Fog', the four of them temporarily came to a place to rest. Yi Tian directly sent the quarter drop of 'First Yuan True Water' into his mouth.
After digesting it for a while, Shi Jinming finally woke up slowly. Later, under Yi Tian's questioning, Shi Jinming told him everything that happened before. Speaking of which, he was also a blessed person. After experiencing the pursuit of two palaces, he was able to turn the situation into safety.
Even when he was finally blocked by Wu Jue and rushed to the 'Li' Palace guarding the giant red blood scorpion, it did not make things difficult for him. In the end, he still relied on the Shi Clan's innate ability to safely pass through the palace passage and come here.
Shi Jinming continued to say, "After coming here, I thought I had returned to the place where I first came in. After walking a few rounds in the forest, I lost my way."
"Didn't I give you the 'guide bee'? Why didn't you take it out and try to find a way out?" Yi Tian asked.
"I did, but unfortunately, I encountered a kind of red blood frog in this forest. The 'guide bee' was accidentally caught and swallowed by it," Shi Jinming said with an embarrassed expression. "In this way, I lost my guide. Next, I was like a headless fly looking for a way."
"Then how did you crash into the 'Bewitching Fog' formed by the 'Red Corydalis' pollen?" Yi Tian asked.
"Not long after I flew through the forest, I felt a little dizzy," Shi Jinming smiled embarrassedly. "I realized that something was wrong, but I realized that my mind was getting more and more confused. The surrounding also changed color. I accidentally entered a red sea of flowers. Then, many childhood memories appeared in front of my eyes. In the end, my eyelids felt very heavy, and I was also very sleepy. "
"It seems that you also accidentally entered the 'Bewitching Fog'. Speaking of which, your Shi Clan's cultivator's soul power is much weaker than other clans, so it's very easy for you to fall into the trap," Yi Tian explained.
"Looks like that's indeed the case. When I woke up, I realized the three of you had already arrived. Moreover, the surroundings were not the same as before when I collapsed." Shi Jinming said, "Speaking of which, that fog was really terrifying. I wonder how Brother Yi and the rest of you managed to survive it?"
Speaking of this, Yi Tian smiled faintly and said, "You don't have to worry about this matter. Just follow us. Moreover, I also gave you the 'True Water of First Yuan'. As long as you use it well, you can stay in the Bewitching Fog for a long time."
Hearing this, a rare smile appeared on Shi Jinming's face. He heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Then, if we fight with Wu Jue in the fog, will we have the geographical advantage?"
"You could say that. However, I am still worried about something. Wu Jue must surely have other cards up his sleeves. He is the clone of a True Immortal from the lower planes, after all," Yi Tian said, a look of concern appearing on his face.
Although the three of them were insured, Wu Jue's strength was definitely not to be underestimated. Naturally, it was better to be careful.
Not long after that, Wan Gang and Yan Qiu, who were seated beside them, woke up from their meditative state. After exchanging glances, they sent secret vocal transmissions to each other. Yi Tian, on the other hand, was silently pondering how they should attack next. When he thought about the tree spirit and wood monster, Huang Jing, he felt troubled.
Clearly, Huang Jing was still hostile towards them back then. Thus, Yi Tian did not provoke Huang Jing. If Huang Jing were to really attack them, Wu Jue and the Netherworld Boy would be the ones benefiting from it.
After discussing it for a moment, the four of them came up with a plan. It did not take long for them to recover to their peak state before they set off again. This time, they had finally gathered all their combat power. Yi Tian felt slightly more at ease. Even if they were to encounter the Netherworld Boy and Wu Jue again, they would be able to put up a fight.
Bringing out the Sundial in his hand, Luo Geng gently injected his spiritual energy into it and found that the needle in the middle of the Seraphic Pond could move again. Unlike before, after measuring it, Yi Tian was able to quickly determine the direction of the array core. Thinking about the previous situation, Yi Tian knew that his Sundial could be used as long as Luo Geng didn't get too close to the Red Millet fog.
Then he said indifferently, "Let's go, we'll go to the eye of the formation. I reckon we'll meet them this time. When the time comes, don't act rashly. That Tree Spirit and Wood Monster have always been hostile to us. Don't provoke them rashly.
"But Brother Yi, what if Huang Jing targets us? We can't just let him beat us," Wan Gang asked.
"Just avoid him as much as possible. He is the spirit plant at the array core, and his main body is Wu Jue's main target. As long as we don't touch his main body, he shouldn't be able to target us," Yi Tian explained.
The three people behind him nodded in agreement. Then, the four of them flew up into the sky together. Yi Tian took the lead and led the way, flying straight towards the eye of the formation.
During this period, they crossed two or three 'Bewitching Fog' areas. Yi Tian didn't want to take the risk for no reason. He could only try to fly higher or go around the edge of the fog area.
After flying in the sky for a few hours, Yi Tian suddenly felt his heart tighten for no reason. He spread out his spirit sense and scanned the surrounding thousand miles. He found that the sleeping spirit plants below seemed to have been awakened. The tree spirits and wood monsters in the forest all poked their heads out of their main body, and then swarmed toward the direction he was going.
The three people behind him naturally also saw this strange situation. Yan Qiu asked, "Brother Yi, what's going on? We didn't cross the line at all. Is there a problem with the array core?"
Sighing softly, Yi Tian said helplessly, "It seems that Wu Jue is one step ahead of us. All the tree spirits and wood monsters here have received the summons of the natural spirit plant at the core of the formation, and are now rushing over to reinforce it."
"Brother Yi, are you saying that Wu Jue, the True Immortal from the lower realm, has found the true body of the innate spirit plant at the array core first? He should be making his move now, right?" Wan Gang's expression changed slightly.
"Almost. Huang Jing should be facing Wu Jue now. We have to speed up as well. Everyone, put on the aura concealing cloak to avoid exposing our whereabouts." Yi Tian hurriedly ordered, "These tree spirits and wood monsters may attack the enemy indiscriminately. As long as we don't deliberately provoke them, we shouldn't be attacked by them."
As he spoke, he also restrained the fluctuation of spirit pressure on his body to the limit. If the three of them weren't close to him, it would be very difficult for them to discover his whereabouts. The three people behind him also took out their aura concealing cloaks and wrapped themselves in it. Then, they followed Yi Tian and continued to fly forward.
After a short while, the four of them suddenly slowed down after flying for several thousand miles in the sky. Yi Tian, who was flying in the front, had a solemn expression on his face as he glanced at the scene in front of him. His face also became extremely embarrassed. The three people behind him all looked weak as they stared at the large 'Bewitching Fog' in front of them with an extremely solemn expression.
Speaking of which, Yi Tian had already guessed that the eye of the formation might be protected by the Bewitching Fog. However, he didn't expect that what he saw this time was actually a huge area of red fog that stretched as far as the eye could see.
Looking at the countless tree spirits and wood monsters below rushing into the 'Bewitching Fog', he knew that the situation inside the formation eye wasn't optimistic. After thinking about it, Yi Tian also gritted his teeth and transmitted a voice to the three people behind him, "Let's go in too. We have to be fast. Wu Jue and Huang Jing are probably fighting fiercely now."
The three of them responded one after another, then they all cast a defensive shield to protect themselves before activating the escape technique again and flying straight into the 'Bewitching Fog' in front of them.
After entering the fog, Yi Tian found that although the four of them were high in the sky, their vision here was not very clear. Fortunately, the three of them had his own mark, so he could indeed use the mark to lock the position of the three of them here. At this time, they were flying side by side two hundred to three hundred feet behind him.
After flying for a few kilometers, fierce astral winds mixed with powerful spirit pressure came from the sky. When the astral winds blew on his defensive shield, Yi Tian stabilized himself in the air, then lowered his head and transmitted a voice, "This is Wu Jue's ability. I have fought with him before, so I am familiar with the frequency of his spirit pressure. However, this astral wind is mixed with another spirit pressure that is on par with it, and it contains a large amount of wood spirit power. "
"It should be the innate true spirit formed by Huang Jing's body, right?" Shi Jinming's voice came from behind him.
Shaking his head, Yi Tian flatly denied, "It's not Huang Jing. Although I have seen him twice and come into contact with his spirit pressure, the spirit power mixed in the astral wind this time is purer. It is more than two times stronger than Huang Jing's previous one."
Speaking of this, a thought suddenly flashed in Yi Tian's mind, then he slapped his forehead and said, "It should be Huang Jing's original body, but he has most likely become an adult at this time, so there is a surge of spirit power."
"Brother Yi, do you mean that we may see Huang Jing's 3 different forms from infancy to childhood to adulthood?" Yan Qiu said.
"Yes, although it sounds unbelievable, there is at least a 70% to 80% chance of this situation." Yi Tian said with a solemn expression, "Moreover, we have to be extra careful facing the adult Huang Jing. These tree spirits and wood monsters have an innate advantage in fighting on their home ground, so they may wipe us out."
"Brother Yi, don't worry, we know how to deal with it." Wan Gang hurriedly replied.
"Moreover, we'll be restricted by the environment when we fight in the 'Bewitching Fog'. Everyone won't be able to unleash 70% of their strength. No matter how I look at it, Huang Jing is the one who's taking advantage of us," Yi Tian explained with a worried expression.
Then, the 4 of them sped up and continued to fly forward. After a while, they could vaguely see the scene of a black and a green spirit light emitted by two divine abilities attacking each other in the distance. The surrounding astral wind was generated by this. Fortunately, as the astral wind gradually became stronger, the surrounding 'Fog of Bewitchment' was also gradually dispersed.
However, Yi Tian found that the green spirit light's power was obviously suppressing Wu Jue's divine ability. At this time, his divine thought could already lock onto Wu Jue. At the same time, he found a 7 feet tall adult spirit cultivator standing on top of a treetop 100 feet above the ground. His cultivation was roughly at the peak of the middle stage of the Unification Stage. He wore an emerald green Daoist robe and held a tree root scepter in his left hand. In his right hand, there was a beautiful red flower.
This red flower should be the 'Red Corydalis'. It looked like a flower king. The source of the red 'Fog of Bewitchment' drifted out from the stamen of this flower king.
The 2 of them also noticed the arrival of an uninvited guest. They hurriedly separated by 100 feet and sized up with vigilance.
After 3 breaths, Wu Jue's voice came from the sky, "Brat Yi, you're finally here. Hurry up and attack. Let's take down this spirit spirit together so we can get out of the formation early."
Hearing this, Yi Tian's expression changed. He knew that Wu Jue was pulling him into the water. Then, he hurriedly stopped and stabilized himself in the air. Then, he looked around and said coldly, "Don't try to drag us down with you. We're just trying to find a way out of this formation."
Yi Tian was a bit surprised. Then, he turned to the person below and said, "Huang Jing, I didn't expect your adult body to look like this. It seems like you're really in charge of guarding the spirit plant."
The expression of the person below changed slightly. After sizing up Yi Tian and the other three, he coldly said, "Hmph, all of you are the same. You say you only want to find a way out of the formation, but in the end, aren't you all having designs on me? I really misjudged you. Since that's the case, don't leave. Stay and become my fertilizer. "
Huang Jing's expression became ferocious. Then, he waved the scepter in his left hand and a surge of Heaven Earth spirit Qi was absorbed into his mouth. Instantly, countless branches extended from the surrounding trees and wrapped around Huang Jing's body.
A large amount of immortal essence was transferred to Huang Jing's body through the branches. At the same time, his cultivation base skyrocketed from the mid-Body Integration Stage to the late-Body Integration Stage. Then, he broke through to the early-Body Integration Stage and stabilized his cultivation base at the mid-Body Integration Stage.
Kacha kacha sounds came from the inside of the tree branches. After three breaths, a nine foot tall spirit cultivator wearing a green Daoist robe jumped out from the branches. The scepter in his left hand turned into a sharp wooden sword. The red flower in his right hand disappeared and was replaced by a red flower shield. The strong wind produced by the explosion of his aura blew away the Bewitching Fog in the surrounding ten miles.
When the mist dissipated, Yi Tian took a closer look and saw that Huang Jing was standing on top of a huge tree. The tree was hundreds of thousands of years old and its trunk was about 300 to 400 feet tall. Large patches of Red Corydalis were planted at the roots of the tree, and there was a green lawn with bushes and shrubs.
Yi Tian's eyes flashed with purple light. He saw a three-foot-long spirit plant in the center of the lawn. Upon closer inspection, he saw that it was the leaf of a ten-thousand-year-old ginseng spirit.
Needless to say, this was where Huang Jing's body was.
