"Junior Brother, you came back just in time. Our martial arts tournament has just ended and we were about to send disciples to pick you up.”Venerable White Crane said with a smile.
"Senior Brother, I have something urgent to report to you.”Perfected White Stone said anxiously.
"What's wrong, junior brother? Did something big happen?”Seeing the usually calm Perfected White Stone speak so urgently, Perfected White Crane immediately felt that something big might have happened.
"Senior Brother, I went down the mountain to investigate the movements of the demonic path. A few days ago, I secretly followed the Earth Demon Tu Huai of the Five Devil Palace and came to the mysterious place in the easternmost part of our cultivation mountain, the Horizon Island. Outside the Lost Forest of the Horizon Island, I sent the Gold Demon Jin Ku, the Fire Demon Huo Lan, the owner of the Black Dragon Island, Black Dragon, and the most mysterious Dark Dragon, Shadow Dragon, and dozens of disciples of the Black Dragon Island."
"Just as I was afraid of alerting the enemy and was about to sneak back, a pagoda faintly appeared in the Lost Forest. The pagoda emitted a five-colored light, reflecting the entire sky and changing colors. When the experts of the demonic path saw the pagoda appear, they entered the Lost Forest at the same time and disappeared. I felt that this matter was too mysterious, so I hurried back to report to you, Senior Brother.”Perfected White Stone introduced in detail.
Hearing Perfected White Stone's words, the three Perfected Ones frowned and pondered at the same time.
Daoist Sword Intent thought for a moment and said," This pagoda can emit five-colored light. I think the treasure inside the pagoda must be very precious. I once heard from the seniors in the sect that immortal artifacts usually emit purple light, and treasures that surpass immortal artifacts seem to emit black light. However, I've never heard of a treasure that emits five-colored light. It seems that we should go to the Lost Forest and snatch this treasure before the demonic experts. If the demonic experts get it, our future situation will be very difficult.”
Perfected White Crane carefully pondered what Perfected Sword Intent said and nodded in agreement."I agree with Perfected Sword Intent. The appearance of the two leaders of the Devil Dao at the same time on Horizon Island is something that has never happened in hundreds of years. This is no small matter. We must snatch this treasure from the hands of the Devil Dao experts.”
"But if we go now, I'm afraid it's too late.”Daoist Green Wave said with a frown.
"No, I think it's still too late to go now. The reason why the Horizon Island is called the most mysterious place of the Immortal Cultivation Mountain is because of the Lost Forest. The Lost Forest is a natural hallucinatory immortal array. This immortal array is mysterious and unpredictable. If one is not very proficient in arrays, they will never be able to come out of the Lost Forest. Moreover, there are many arrays in the Lost Forest. The entire Lost Forest constantly changes the array core. It was not something that could be broken out in a day or two. I think the demonic path experts are all here to break the formation together.”Perfected White Stone analyzed.
Daoist White Crane's eyes flashed as he said loudly,""I've decided to cancel the original plan. The most important thing now is to go to the Lost Forest in Sky Cliff Island and get the Five Colored Spirit Treasure before the Devil Dao experts.”
"Agreed!" The Profound Heart Sect disciple echoed loudly.
Perfected Sword Intent and Perfected Green Wave also nodded slightly in agreement.
Perfected White Stone was very satisfied when he saw that everyone agreed. He said loudly,""Our operation this time is not about numbers, but about intelligence. I've decided that the candidates for this operation will be me, the Sword Intent Sect Master, the Blue Wave Sect Master, Perfected White Stone, Perfected Jian Han, Ze Quan, Ze Yun, Mo Yan, Mo Wen, Kong Yu, and the five disciples of Tiandao Sect.”
The reason why Immortal White Crane chose Jing Feng and the other three to go to the Lost Forest was that the Illusory Formation in the Lost Forest was unpredictable. He wanted Jing Feng and the other three to enter and test the power of the formation before breaking it. This was also the method that Immortal White Crane had just thought of to take revenge on Jing Feng and the other three for ruining his plan.
Ning Yunzi immediately felt that something was wrong when he heard that Immortal White Crane had chosen the five of them to go to the Horizon Island. However, he could not change Immortal White Crane's decision now. He could only send a voice transmission to remind Jing Feng and the other three,"This trip to Horizon Island is fraught with dangers. There is a reason why Immortal White Crane chose us to go there. We must be careful. The five of us must act together and not separate.”
The four of them nodded slightly in agreement. Jing Feng looked hatefully at the smiling Immortal White Crane and muttered,"Bai He, you old ghost, I, Jing Feng, swear here that I will definitely pay you back double for what you have done to our Tiandao Sect today.”
"Ning Yunzi, don't let me down!”Immortal White Crane said to Ning Yunzi with an evil smile.
"Alright, everyone, go back and rest. Tomorrow morning, we'll rush to Horizon Island.”After saying that, Perfected White Crane, Perfected White Stone, and the other Profound Heart Sect disciples returned to Yangxin Palace Hall to discuss the matter of going to the Lost Forest.
Jing Feng and the other five returned to the Western courtyard. Ning Guangzi frowned and said,"I didn't expect Venerable White Crane to be so narrow-minded and scheme against my Tiandao Sect. I think it'll be very difficult for us to retreat unscathed this time. We have to think of a countermeasure.”
"Humph! Then, we don't care about the Profound Heart Sect or the old man White Crane. We can just return to our Heavenly Dao Sect.”Ming Yu said angrily.
"No, if we return to Tiandao Sect without permission, Venerable White Crane will definitely publicize that Tiandao Sect only cares about our own interests and disregards the life and death of the orthodox cultivators. They are deliberately trying to split the relationship between Tiandao Sect and the other sects. If that's the case, when our Tiandao Sect is attacked by the devil path experts, I think the other three sects will probably stand by and watch. If that happens, our Tiandao Sect will be in danger in the future.”Ning Yunzi said helplessly.
" I don't believe that we'll be in danger this time. Senior Brother, as long as we work together, I believe we'll be able to return to Tiandao Sect safely. Once we obtain the treasure, I'll definitely make the Profound Heart Sect regret the decision we made today.”Jing Feng said hatefully.
"Jing Feng, as long as we can safely return to Tiandao Sect this time, it will be considered a victory.”Ning Yunzi said helplessly.
"Alright, everyone rest well. Jing Feng, help Senior Brother Ning Guangzi treat his injuries. His magic power has been overused today, and we're going on a long journey tomorrow.”Ning Yunzi patted Jing Feng's shoulder and said.
It's Senior Brother. Leave Senior Brother Ning Guangzi's injuries to me. After saying that, Jing Feng followed Ning Guangzi back to his room to treat his injuries.
Early the next morning, the 15 experts who were heading to the Horizon Island arrived at the Heart-nourishing Hall of the Profound Heart Sect. When Perfected White Crane saw that everyone had arrived, he said,""Let's set off and get to Horizon Island as soon as possible so that we can obtain this treasure before the demonic experts.”
As Jing Feng did not know how to ride on clouds, Ning Yunzi had to ride on clouds to bring him along. The Horizon Island was located at the easternmost part of the Immortal Cultivation Mountain. The fifteen of them spent thirteen days to arrive at the mysterious Lost Forest of the Horizon Island.
Jing Feng looked at the large area of Lost Forest and sighed,"What a huge forest. From the sky, I can't see the end at all, but I don't see any five-colored pagoda.”
"Humph!" Do you think that the Five-Colored Pagoda is so easy to discover? If it was so easy, why did we only discover it now?”Ze Quan said in contempt.
"That's because you don't have enough luck!”Jing Feng shook his head and left.
"You, you!" Zequan was so angry that his entire body trembled and he couldn't speak.
"Alright, Zequan, stop fooling around. I'll make Tiandao Sect pay the price in a while.”Daoist White Crane saw Zequan's excited expression and comforted him via voice transmission.
"We've arrived at the Lost Forest. Let's hurry up and enter the Lost Forest to challenge the array. We'll try to enter the Five-Colored Pagoda before the demonic experts and snatch the treasures.”Perfected White Crane urged when he saw that everyone was looking at the mysterious Lost Forest without taking action.
Perfected Sword Intent glanced at Perfected Bi Bo beside him, who nodded slightly. Perfected Sword Intent made up his mind and said,""Alright, let's go!"
" Shua, shua, shua." The Peerless Sect members of the Immortal Sword Sect jumped into the mysterious Lost Forest.
Venerable White Crane glanced at Jing Feng and the other three and said with a smile,"Tiandao Sect is an outstanding figure in our cultivation world. Don't back down and embarrass Tiandao Sect!”With that, he led the Profound Heart Sect disciples into the Lost Forest.
Ning Yunzi frowned slightly when she heard Immortal White Crane's words. She knew that she could not retreat anymore, so she reminded everyone loudly,"You must be careful when you go in. Remember, no matter what happens, the five of us must not separate. Alright, let's go too. We can't let them look down on our Tiandao Sect.”
Jing Feng and the other three nodded and jumped into the Lost Forest at the same time.
As soon as they entered the Lost Forest, Jing Feng and the others saw that the light around them had suddenly dimmed. The grass and trees around them had also grown much taller than they had seen outside, making it seem very strange.
Perfected Sword Intent, who was not far away, said loudly to everyone,"Everyone, be careful. The illusion in the Lost Forest is very powerful. If you're not careful, you might lose your life.”Then, the group of people carefully moved forward.
After walking for about six hours, a bottomless cliff appeared in front of everyone. A thick layer of fog floated above the cliff, blocking everyone's vision.
Venerable White Crane released his powerful spiritual sense to explore where the cliff led to and whether there was any danger. However, as soon as he released his spiritual sense, it was silently swallowed by the spiritual fog on the cliff. Venerable White Crane was so scared that he quickly withdrew his spiritual sense.
At this time, a vicious plan suddenly appeared in Immortal White Crane's mind. Immortal White Crane said sinisterly,"I've used our Profound Heart Sect's secret techniques to detect that this cliff is an illusion formation. As long as we find the formation core, we can safely cross this cliff. However, we need someone who is proficient in formations to find the formation core. Didn't the founder of Tiandao Sect, the Heavenly Dragon Holy Man, pass down a lot of secret manuals on formations before he ascended? I think the disciples of Tiandao Sect must be very proficient in formations.”
Jing Feng took a deep breath when he saw that his senior brothers did not reply."Alright, the five of us will go down and break the formation together.
Without waiting for anyone to object, Jing Feng was the first to jump into the Bewildering Formation on the cliff. When the other four saw Jing Feng jump into the Bewildering Formation, they helplessly followed suit.
"Huff huff!" The violent wind continued to pour into everyone's ears. Jing Feng and the others wanted to take out their Spirit Tools to control their falling figures, but in this Spirit Mist, Jing Feng and the others were unable to use a trace of magic power. Just as everyone was about to fall to the ground, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed. Jing Feng and the other three landed in a muddy swamp.
Jing Feng and the others slowly stood up in the muddy swamp. They glanced at the swamp that was filled with the aura of death and saw the rotting corpses floating not far away. Everyone fell into deep fear.
Ming Yu said angrily to Jing Feng,"Junior brother, why did you listen to that old man Bai He and come here to break the formation? Aren't you putting our lives at risk?”
"Senior Brother, I have no choice! Think about it, under those circumstances, how could I not agree? Think about it, even if we don't agree, Bai He will still think of ways to kill us. The five of us came to this fog illusion array, and we can slowly break it. No one asked us to break it, our goal is to return to Tiandao Sect safely, so I feel that rather than falling out with that old bastard Bai He on the cliff, why don't we come to this illusion array together? At least for now, we are in control of the initiative. When they can't hold it in anymore, they might help us break it.”Jingfeng Laocheng said.
Ning Yunzi and the others smiled gratefully when they heard what Jing Feng said.
Ming Yu patted Jing Feng and said,"Junior Brother, you're really something. I've wronged you."”
Hong Yu wiped the dirt off her body in disgust and said,""Senior apprentice-brother Ning Yunzi, what should we do? Should we wait here for them to lose their cool and break the formation, or should we go find the core of the formation and break it?
"Hmm? I've read quite a few books about formations in the sect, but most of them are about setting up formations. However, I once heard from my master that the core of a naturally formed formation is guarded by a spirit beast. The stronger the formation, the stronger the spirit beast. I think that as long as we can find the spirit beast guarding the formation and kill it, we can break this formation.”Ning Yunzi carefully recalled and said.
"However, our first task is to leave this swamp. I feel that this swamp is full of danger. Everyone must be careful and remember not to separate.”Ning Yunzi suddenly felt a trace of unease in her heart as she reminded.
The five of them took out their spirit weapons and flew into the depths of the swamp.
