Chapter 1024: Framing the Mosquito Daoist

"Altar, calculate the method for entering and exiting Fangzhang Island."

"As you wish!"

As the grand voice faded, a surge of information appeared in Yin Qi's mind.

It was precisely the method for entering and exiting the Innate Great Array of Fangzhang Island.

The Three Immortals Island are independent of each other, yet interconnected.

As Penglai Island and Yingzhou Island appeared in the world, Fangzhang Island would follow, so there was no need to calculate its location.

In fact, with Yin Qi's attainments in the Heavenly Secret Path, he could have calculated it himself even without sacrificing to the Luck Altar.

He paid no heed to the contention over Yingzhou Island.

Yin Qi secretly performed a calculation and soon obtained the location information for Fangzhang Island. He glanced back at Lu Ya, who was slandering him, then quietly slipped into the 'Great Tree' of laws and headed toward a location ten trillion miles away in the southeast.

When Yin Qi arrived, he was surprised to discover Yaochi several tens of thousands of miles away.

"This Yaochi, she has some tricks up her sleeve too."

Yin Qi sighed inwardly.

Although she had not accurately found the location where Fangzhang Island manifested, being able to find it this close showed that his cheap mother-in-law still had some ability; after all, she had followed the Hongjun Daozu for countless years.

A moment later.

The calm Xukong Sword Sword Sword suddenly rippled with layers of spatial waves, and immediately after, a massive object appeared abruptly, spanning tens of billions of miles, shrouded in an Innate Great Array, gray and indistinct.

Fangzhang Island had manifested!

Pulled by Penglai Island and Yingzhou Island, Fangzhang Island had finally fallen back into the manifest world.

This time, before Fangzhang Island even crashed into the sea, endless rays of light surged into the sky from the island, reaching straight into the clouds, mixed with the aura of Supreme Innate Spiritual Roots and Spirit Treasures.

"Go!"

Yin Qi's eyes lit up, and he quietly submerged into Fangzhang Island.

Several tens of thousands of miles away.

The moment she felt the spatial fluctuations, Yaochi locked onto the location of Fangzhang Island. Without the slightest hesitation, she stepped into the void, and when she appeared again, she was already outside Fangzhang Island.

Before the endless rays of light could erupt, she plunged into Fangzhang Island.

She knew that there was not much time left for her.

Previously, at Yingzhou Island, all parties had joined forces to forcibly break the Innate Great Array using the Immortal Execution Sword.

It was likely that the same would happen next.

At the same time, she was worried that the person who had quietly taken away the Hongmeng Purple Qi and the Five-Needle Pine would get there first again.

If that were truly the case, she would have to entwine with that person immediately.

"Break!"

Yaochi Jinmu gave a light shout.

Holding the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Golden Hairpin, she slashed forward.

The Golden Hairpin was most adept at slicing through space.

With a slash of the Golden Hairpin, the Innate Great Array was forcibly torn open with a tiny slit.

Although this slit was small, it was enough for her to pass through.

"Thief!"

Yaochi Jinmu turned into a stream of light and rushed into Fangzhang Island just before the tiny slit closed. She saw a thin, middle-aged man in a black robe in the center of Fangzhang Island, who had just taken away the Huangzhong Plum and the Twelfth-Grade Purifying White Lotus.

Even the pond where the Purifying World White Lotus grew was taken away as well.

Because the water in the pond was entirely Three-Light Divine Water.

Just then, the black-robed man turned around.

His face was long and narrow, his eyes sinister. He let out a cold, mocking laugh at her, then shot into the sky, transforming into a giant mosquito with blood-red wings and a pitch-black body; its ferocious mouthparts made one shudder at the sight.

Pfft!

The Innate Great Array, which could have resisted a Peak Quasi-Saint, was actually poked through with a tiny hole by those ferocious mouthparts.

The blood-winged black mosquito also vanished instantly at the hole.

Boom—!

Just then, Fangzhang Island shook violently, and the Innate Great Array also swayed intensely.

But after only a few breaths, the Innate Great Array shattered with a boom.

Easily passing through the Innate Great Array, Yin Qi arrived at the center of Fangzhang Island.

Here was a pond of about ten acres, with Three-Light Divine Water rippling inside, emitting an extremely rich essence of life.

And in the pond.

Besides the most important Twelfth-Grade Purifying White Lotus, there were hundreds of sparse white lotuses. Some of these white lotuses had grown to the ninth grade, while others were only first grade; all of them had grown from the seeds dropped by the Purifying World White Lotus.

The Twelfth-Grade Purifying White Lotus is both an Innate Spiritual Treasure and an Innate Spiritual Root.

A ninth-grade white lotus is equivalent to an Extreme Post-Heaven Spirit Treasure.

Even a first-grade one is comparable to a Top-grade Immortal Artifact.

On the east side of the pond, the Huangzhong Plum tree stood gracefully, laden with fruit—there were actually three hundred of them, emitting a rich, refreshing fragrance that was invigorating just to smell.

If a mortal were to smell it, they would increase their lifespan by at least ten thousand years.

"Eh!"

Yin Qi turned his head abruptly.

He sensed that Yaochi Jinmu was forcibly breaking the array.

Thinking of this, his heart suddenly stirred, and he transformed into the likeness of the Mosquito Daoist, for in all the world, the only one capable of ignoring the Innate Great Array and quickly entering and exiting the two islands of Yingzhou and Fangzhang was the Mosquito Daoist.

His mouthparts are peerless in the world, capable of piercing anything.

Please... you.... add to your collection....!

Now, it is the perfect time to frame him.

Yin Qi flicked his long sleeves, and he gathered up the Huangzhong Plum and the entire pond.

At this moment, Yaochi Jinmu happened to enter.

He turned his head again, gave a smug, cold sneer at Yaochi Jinmu, and then transformed into a Blood-Winged Black Mosquito and soared into the sky.

Having refined the flesh and blood of the Mosquito Daoist, his transformation into the Blood-Winged Black Mosquito was that of a true Blood-Winged Black Mosquito.

……

"Fangzhang Island!"

Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, and the others all looked toward the southeast, their eyes brightening, for from the endless, sky-piercing glow, they sensed the aura of the Twelfth-Grade Purifying White Lotus and the Huangzhong Plum.

That was the Huangzhong Plum!

A single Huangzhong Plum is equivalent to an Eight-Turn Golden Pill.

Over these countless years, there must be at least two hundred or more on the Huangzhong Plum tree.

Suddenly, as if they had thought of something, their expressions all changed at once.

"Go!"

Tongtian Jiaozhu shouted urgently.

The Hongmeng Purple Qi had been snatched by someone else first; let it not be the same this time.

……

For a Quasi-Saint, a trillion miles is but a single step away.

Just as Fangzhang Island was about to crash into the sea, the Quasi-Sages arrived above the island, and then, with tacit understanding, they all struck, pouring their boundless magic power into Tongtian.

"Open for me!"

Tongtian Jiaozhu shouted sharply, and the four Immortal Execution Swords slashed down fiercely, shattering the Innate Great Array in response.

They looked down, only to find that there was no Huangzhong Plum or Twelfth-Grade Purifying White Lotus on Fangzhang Island; there was only Yaochi Jinmu, who looked up at the sky with a face full of fury and killing intent.

Rumble!

Fangzhang Island, which was already about to crash into the sea, was struck by the Immortal Execution Swords, causing it to fall even faster; like a meteorite from beyond the heavens, it smashed into the sea, sinking it for millions of miles and creating a great abyss.

The surrounding sea was also suddenly raised by hundreds of thousands of miles, turning into terrifying tsunamis that spread in all directions, with giant waves towering to the sky, obscuring most of the heavens.

The massive Fangzhang Island bobbed up and down on the sea surface as if it were a mere fallen leaf.

Yet, above Fangzhang Island, there was only silence.

Still too slow!

The faces of Laozi, Yuanshi, and Tongtian were ashen, dark enough to drip water.

This group of theirs represented the highest martial power in Honghuang, yet they had been beaten to the punch twice, and they hadn't even caught a glimpse of the opponent; it was simply a disgrace.

After a long while, Haotian asked, "Yaochi, did you see what the thief looked like?"

"I saw."

Yaochi nodded, gritting her teeth.

Without saying more, she pointed her fair hand into the void, and an image appeared of the 'Mosquito Daoist' taking away the Twelfth-Grade Purifying White Lotus and the Huangzhong Plum, as well as his escape.

"This is... the Blood-Winged Black Mosquito!"

Jieyin Daoren said in surprise.

Being in the Primordial West, he knew more about the Sea of Blood than the other Sages.

He knew that besides giving birth to Minghe Laozu, the Sea of Blood also held a Blood-Winged Black Mosquito.

The innate talent and comprehension of the Blood-Winged Black Mosquito were actually not inferior to Minghe Laozu, but because it was born too late, all the benefits of the Sea of Blood had been taken by Minghe Laozu, and it also suffered from some innate deficiencies.

It was just that this Blood-Winged Black Mosquito was extremely mysterious, and he only knew of its existence, having never seen it before. (End of chapter)
