Chapter 607: Battlefield Fragments

There are too many clever people in this world.

Not only Chen Xi and their group, but all other parties are also secretly forming alliances and maneuvering against one another.

This phenomenon is so vast that it is highly likely to be the Dongfu of an ancient Golden Immortal; the subsequent competition will inevitably be intense, and it is already almost impossible to swallow it alone.

Immortal Light overflows, and various phenomena appear.

Dense Innate Spiritual Qi permeates and sweeps across all directions, making many people unable to resist practicing in secret.

This is, after all, Innate Spiritual Qi.

It hardly needs to be refined to be directly converted into magic power, and it is even purer, having excellent effects for tempering the Primordial Spirit and the physical body, far beyond what Acquired Spiritual Qi can compare to.

It is just a pity that ever since Gonggong crashed into Mount Buzhou, Innate Spiritual Qi began to dissipate.

Time passed, and another five days went by.

The phenomenon grew increasingly vast, yet the Dongfu did not appear.

Two Mysterious Immortals from the Great Yong Immortal Dynasty finally arrived; they were two middle-aged Daoists.

Besides them, seven or eight other Mysterious Immortals had arrived over these five days, bringing the number of Mysterious Immortals here to over thirty.

The more Mysterious Immortals there are, the more intense the competition will be.

Fortunately, no Golden Immortal has arrived.

Otherwise, no matter how many Mysterious Immortals came, it would be useless.

……

This day.

The phenomenon erupted once more, with endless Immortal Light shooting into the sky, accompanied by Innate Spiritual Qi sweeping across all directions like a tsunami, forcing everyone to retreat one after another, as the 'Drunken Spiritual Qi' phenomenon was about to appear.

"It's here!"

"It's finally appearing!"

"That is..."

……

Accompanied by bursts of exclamations, Yin Qi looked toward the source of the Immortal Light, as if a gray object were squeezing out from the void.

It was hazy, and one could not see clearly what it was.

Immediately following, that gray object expanded rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it was like a great mountain, pushing the surrounding seawater in all directions and forming countless surging waves.

What is more critical is that this object not only did not stop expanding, but the speed of its expansion was also getting faster, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a large island with a radius of a thousand miles, having been squeezed out from the void alive.

It should be an island, appearing in an irregular circular shape.

The reason for saying it should be an island is that it was still expanding rapidly, shrouded in a layer of gray mist, within which various flowing lights and colors darted about from time to time.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Someone could not hold back; even though the island was still expanding, they could not help but rush in.

The result was that they slammed headfirst into the rapidly expanding island, and then, without even letting out a scream, their bodies instantly turned into dust.

Hiss!

People gasped in cold air, and someone exclaimed: "Retreat, retreat, retreat!"

No one expected that this gray island would be so terrifying; it turned people into dust before they even touched it—one must know that there was even a Heavenly Immortal among them.

Yin Qi followed the crowd and retreated quickly; the rapidly expanding gray island's speed of expansion was almost catching up to his speed as an 'Earth Immortal', as if it were chasing them down.

Some who were not skilled in speed were caught by the gray island and disappeared without a sound.

This frightened many people, their faces turning pale as they exhausted all sorts of methods.

Finally, when they had escaped more than a hundred thousand miles away, the gray island came to an abrupt halt.

But the consequences it caused had only just begun.

As it squeezed into the main Boundary, it pushed the surrounding air and seawater rapidly outward, forming destructive-level hurricanes and tsunamis.

The sea waves were sky-high, rolling up to an altitude of tens of thousands of miles.

Hurricanes raged, and even an Earth Immortal would be blown away if they were not careful.

Splash!

Immediately following, countless seawater fell from the sky, mixed with thousands of members of the Sea Clan; they were crazily squeezed by the seawater in the ocean, and many of them suffered internal injuries.

It was fortunate that they were all Immortal-level Cultivators, otherwise, they would have long since been crushed to death by the seawater.

After the hurricane raged, it soon returned to calm.

But the sea surface was still surging with waves and could not settle down in a short time, so everyone flew high into the sky to overlook the gray island, which was about a hundred thousand miles in radius.

This gray mist seemed to be naturally formed, or perhaps created by an Array Formation; it could actually block the vision of Mysterious Immortals, and even Yin Qi's Po Wang Eye could not see through it.

However, everyone could still faintly feel a murderous intent that was both chaotic and extremely sharp radiating outward.

Before this murderous intent, even the Mysterious Immortal ancestors felt a faint chill.

This absolutely could not be a Dongfu!

"Could it be that this island is one of the fragments of the former battlefield?"

A Mysterious Immortal ancestor exclaimed.

The Penglai Immortal Island of that year was so vast, said to be hundreds of millions of miles in radius; with countless powerhouses fighting on the island and around it, it is possible that broken fragments fell into the void.

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

If it were one of the fragments of the former battlefield, its value would be immense; inside, there would not only be lost treasures and even Inheritances, but there would certainly also be a large amount of Immortal Medicine and Divine Fruit.

Penglai Island was originally one of the Top Daoist sites, and now that it has fallen into the void for millions of years, the Immortal Medicine and Divine Fruit within would naturally propagate, certainly far beyond what the outside world can compare to.

However, how should one enter?

A Mysterious Immortal ancestor took out an Immortal Sword and performed the Sword Control Technique; the Immortal Sword bloomed with endless Immortal radiance and finally turned into a stream of light, shooting toward the gray island.

Rip!

Within the grey, misty fog, streaks of light flashed by from time to time.

As soon as the Sword approached the grey, misty island, it suddenly shattered with a boom, blooming like fireworks.

Hiss!

The eyes of the crowd narrowed, and they could not help but gasp in cold air.

The Array Formation of this grey, misty island is simply too terrifying; it is completely impossible to approach.

"This is an Array Formation set by a Golden Immortal. Unless one is also a Golden Immortal and a master of Array Formations, don't even think about breaking the Array Formation of this island!"

A Mysterious Immortal ancestor skilled in Array Formations exclaimed, causing the hearts of everyone present to sink.

"Senior Wu, is there really no other way?"

Someone asked.

The senior surnamed Wu said with a solemn expression: "There is. If a Great Luo Golden Immortal were here, they could forcibly break the Array Formation. Or, one could wait for the Array Formation to reveal a flaw on its own, or for it to dissipate."

High-level Array Formations will align with the operation of Heaven and Earth.

The Great Dao is fifty, Heaven derives forty-nine, and there is one that escapes.

The same is true for Array Formations; they will reveal flaws after operating for N years, just like the Innate Great Array of Wuyi Mountain, which manifests once every hundred years before vanishing into the void again.

The Array Formation of this grey, misty island will also be like this; it will reveal a flaw after a certain number of years.

It is just that whether one can seize this flaw depends on one's attainments in Array Formations; of course, it is also possible that the Array Formation will fade away on its own, as the island returning to the main Boundary must surely be due to some kind of timing.

Upon hearing this, the crowd first rolled their eyes, then became lost in thought.

Compared to waiting for a flaw to appear in the operation of the Array Formation or for it to dissipate on its own, everyone was more inclined to believe that there must be some method or some passage to enter the island.

Consequently, people began to take action, circling the island to inspect it.

Everyone dared not get too close; some were in the sky, while others were on the seabed, yet they discovered that the seabed was actually connected to the deepest part of the ocean, and it was guarded by Array Formations on all sides.

Chen Xi and the others also took action, with Yin Qi following along.

However, no one knew that he had long since used a "golden cicada shedding its shell," and what remained here now was merely a Clone; his true self had already quietly slipped into the void during the previous incident.
