Chapter 2354

Seeing the elder of Formation King Immortal City suddenly delighted, Xu Jie at the side also hurried forward, asking concernedly.

"Senior, what do you see?"

"Haha, that's natural, kid, your design is really ingenious, I was still wondering why I couldn't find the formation base and formation eye; it turns out the formation base and eye are integrated into the formation, formless and unfixed, constantly moving, so naturally hard to capture."

Huh???

Hearing the elder of Formation King Immortal City ramble on, Xu Jie was completely baffled.

This formation was set up by him, no doubt, but the problem is he can't understand what he's saying.

What formation base and formation eye integrated into the formation, what formless and unfixed—he didn't do any of that.

Turning his head, he saw Xu Jie's doubtful look; the elder froze, then realized, waving his hand.

"Forget it, even if I told you, you wouldn't understand."

Huh???

Now that I understand this, the rest is easy—just need to find a way to seize the formation base and formation eye, then we can start breaking the formation.

Thinking this through, the elder of Formation King Immortal City felt energized and immediately stepped forward to try.

He lightly pressed his palms into the Formation Light Curtain, sending his Línglì into the formation, hoping to use it to capture the formation base and formation eye.

It was like fishing for fish in a river.

One Shíchén later, the elder's face darkened again.

After several attempts, the formation base and formation eye within the formation were like slippery loaches; no matter how he encircled and intercepted them, they were hard to catch.

There were even several times when it seemed he was about to succeed, but in the end they escaped, causing his effort to fall short.

Although he had clearly seen the formation's oddity, he simply couldn't grasp the formation base and formation eye, leaving him frustrated.

"Damn it, how did you set up this formation?"

In his frustration, the elder couldn't help but curse.

Meanwhile, Xu Jie, who had been standing guard nearby, felt utterly wronged: "I really don't know!"

I just set it up normally and made a few minor improvements; who knew it would turn out like this?

On Hong Zun's side, breaking the formation ran into another problem: the formation base and formation eye wandering within the formation simply couldn't be caught.

Meanwhile, Huang Lao and the others, after five days of effort, finally completed the construction of the Dong Fu meant to house the Nine-Heavens Precious Tree.

This Dong Fu was constructed simultaneously by Huang Lao and the three other supreme experts, making it extremely sturdy.

Its defensive power was basically maxed out.

Afterward, Huang Lao personally moved the Nine-Heavens Precious Tree into it.

The environment inside this Dong Fu was exactly the same as the void where the Nine-Heavens Precious Tree had previously survived, except that the surrounding violent void storm had disappeared; elsewhere there was no significant difference.

Upon completion of the Dong Fu, Ye Zhangqing naturally went there as well.

Entering the Dong Fu, standing together with Huang Lao and the others beneath the Nine-Heavens Precious Tree, Ye Zhangqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This way, we can finally be a bit more secure.

With the Nine-Heavens Precious Tree inside this Dong Fu, it becomes much harder for others to act covertly against it.

Even just wanting to enter the Dong Fu requires considerable effort.

Below the Ancient Immortal Realm, without the method to open the entrance, one simply cannot get in.

For cultivators at the Ancient Immortal Realm and above, even if they could enter, they could only do so by forceful intrusion, which would inevitably alert the Dao One Immortal Sect.

Given the strength of Huang Lao and the three others, they still needed a full five days to finish constructing this Dong Fu, showing its quality.

Alright, next we just need to assign one person to take care of the Nine-Heavens Precious Tree.

Huang Lao said with a smile; upon hearing this, Yun Xiantai at the side volunteered.

I will personally look after this tree.

Although they have come to the Immortal Realm, Yun Xiantai's status within the Sect remains lofty, already a figure of sect patriarch level.

At this moment, he personally came to look after the Nine-Heavens Precious Tree, showing how much they value it.

No one objected; with Yun Xiantai personally overseeing this place, Qi Xiong and the others could feel more at ease.

After all, he is our own Shīzūn, one of us—nothing to worry about.

However, this means Yun Xiantai will have to work a bit harder.

But for him, this isn't a big deal; being able to personally tend to such a legendary treasure is also a great fortune for Yun Xiantai.

After confirming the Nine-Heavens Precious Tree was fine, everyone left the Dong Fu.

After so many busy days, Huang Lao and the others could finally relax; they came to the canteen, where Miao Cuihua was also straightforward, smiling and saying to Ye Zhangqing:

"Ye kid, this old woman hasn't eaten anything these past few days."

"Kid, I'll go prepare it."

Hearing this, Ye Zhangqing laughed and did not refuse.

Whether it was escorting along the way or helping to construct the Dong Fu, Miao Cuihua and the Heavenly Family patriarch were of great help.

Now having a meal is just a completely normal thing; it's nothing special.

After agreeing, Ye Zhangqing hurried straight into the Fire Room.

Not long after, a table of sumptuous dishes was served; Miao Cuihua and the Heavenly Family patriarch beamed with joy.

They have come all the way from the far western borders, ten thousand miles away, just for this meal.

After taking a bite, the Heavenly Family patriarch looked delighted, until then he realized he hadn't seen his own kid.

How could any meal be complete without that Tianlin kid? This time he's nowhere to be seen, truly strange.

Only Miao Qianqian was there, and the Heavenly Family patriarch couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Where is my good-for-nothing son?"

"He went over to Hong Zun's side.................."

He gave a truthful full account of Hong Zun's affairs; after listening to Miao Qianqian's narration, the four elders of the Heavenly Family were all stunned.

How could there be such a marvel?

A disciple studied the formation, ended up trapping his master; then he couldn't break it, and even the elder of Formation King Immortal City was invited, but after several days of study they still couldn't make sense of it.

Truly a strange matter.

The elder of Formation King Immortal City, an Immortal Formation Master, yet could not break Xu Jie's formation.

The four elders of the Heavenly Family couldn't help but be curious, but with food right before them, they naturally would eat first and talk later.

They had been craving this bite for a long time.

"Eat first, then talk after finishing."

Miao Cuihua also spoke up; hearing this, the Heavenly Family elders nodded repeatedly.

"Exactly, how could one be distracted while eating? Whatever the matter, talk after eating."

"Haha, that's right."

After everyone had eaten their fill, food and drink abundant, they then thought of Tianlin and his side.

Immediately, they staggered all the way toward the mountaintop where Hong Zun was.

At that moment, outside the formation, the elder of Formation King Immortal City and Tianlin each stood on one side, both placing their palms on the Formation Light Curtain, their spiritual power entering the formation, jointly grasping the formation's eye and base.

One person tried many times but failed; in the end, that elder had no choice but to swallow his pride and let Tianlin lend a hand.

With two people, the success rate would certainly be higher.
