Chapter 1166

A ten-thousand-zhang-sized, almost transparent light film shrouded the entire hilltop, encompassing the demon body and all five people within it.

He Pingsheng tried, but he didn't shake it.

He brought Wen Buwan back to where everyone was standing!

"Open..." Ji Wuxin shouted, then waved his hand to take out a large golden umbrella. The umbrella opened in an instant, creating a barrier about ten zhang in radius, encompassing everyone.

"What's going on?" After everything was set, Ji Wuxin looked at He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng shook his head and said: "I don't know... I suppose this formation only activated after we arrived!"

"My preliminary judgment is that it should be a trapping formation!"

"What?" Huang Youshi said: "A trapping formation?"

"Then let's all attack together and see if we can break this formation?"

No one responded to his suggestion.

Ji Wuxin looked outside with worry and said: "When we came in, my master took away all our offensive talismans and immortal artifacts. Looking at it now, that was a huge mistake. Without these things, I'm afraid we won't be able to break this third-tier trapping formation, right?"

A sneer appeared on the corner of He Pingsheng's mouth: "Third tier?"

"You're overthinking it!"

"Why don't you go try it yourself, Fellow Daoist Ji!"

Ji Wuxin raised an eyebrow: "Not third tier? Then what tier could it be?"

He Pingsheng didn't speak.

Ji Wuxin walked out of the golden barrier himself and flew toward a corner of the massive light film.

After a dozen breaths, he returned, his face ashen.

"Wang Shixiong Ji, how is it?" Biyun Xianzi Pingyue asked Ji Wuxin.

Ji Wuxin said with a dark face: "Damn it... this is a fourth-tier trapping formation. We can forget about getting out for the rest of our lives!"

Hearing Ji Wuxin say this, everyone frowned.

That's right!

If it were a third-tier immortal formation, everyone could still think of a way.

After all, they are all geniuses of the Earth Immortal Stage; it should still be possible for everyone to join forces to break a third-tier trapping formation.

But now, you're telling me this is fourth tier?

How are we supposed to deal with this?

"Does anyone here understand formations?" Ji Wuxin's gaze swept over everyone.

Wen Buwan raised her hand and said: "I do know some formations, but after all, I am only an Earth Immortal. Even if I am proficient in formations, I cannot break this fourth-tier trapping formation!"

Huang Youshi said: "Then what do we do? We can't just stay trapped here forever, right?"

"And... look, the demonic energy here seems to be attacking us!"

Reminded by Huang Youshi, everyone turned their gaze outside the trapping formation again.

Countless black demonic energy was crazily surging toward the light film created by the large umbrella.

The brightness on the light film was getting lower and lower.

"It's okay!" Ji Wuxin said: "I can still hold on for a while... but I'm afraid of the long term!"

"Fellow Daoist He, you are knowledgeable and a cultivator who ascended from the lower realm. Tell us, what should we do now?"

Everyone looked at He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng's gaze, however, looked outside the barrier.

After a few breaths, he said slowly: "There is no way!"

"The only hope is to accept this demonic cultivation technique!"

"If we learn the demonic inheritance, perhaps we can use it as an opportunity to break the shackles of the formation; if we still can't open this trapping formation after accepting the demonic inheritance, then there really is no way!"

"We can only pin our hopes on people from the outside coming to rescue us!"

After finishing, He Pingsheng looked at Ji Wuxin.

Ji Wuxin said: "Rescue from the outside probably isn't realistic either!"

"Wait a moment... I'll send a message to my master first!"

So, Ji Wuxin took out an Immortal Message Talisman, described the situation occurring here, and sent it out!

It was magical; after the Immortal Message Talisman turned into immortal light, it went straight through the fourth-tier formation.

After about half an incense stick of time, a streak of immortal light flew in from the outside.

It was a message from Daoist Cangjian, telling everyone to wait here while he found a way to have someone come over and use a fourth-tier immortal talisman to blow open the formation.

He Pingsheng shook his head directly at this suggestion.

Not to mention whether ordinary Earth Immortals could even reach this place, even if they did, could mere Earth Immortals use their spiritual sense to activate a fourth-tier immortal talisman?

Difficult!

"In my opinion, we should prepare for two possibilities!" Biyun Xianzi Pingyue suggested: "While waiting for the assistance of the Immortal Lords, we must also think of a way ourselves!"

"Just as Fellow Daoist He said, let's see if we can find an exit after accepting this demonic inheritance!"

"Good!" Ji Wuxin said: "Then... who will go?"

That is the problem.

He Pingsheng said: "Just now, Huang Youshi and Tian Shimei Wen have already tried, and they were easily infected by the demonic energy here, unable to guard their original hearts!"

"So we must exclude those two!"

To accept the demonic inheritance, the first step is to guard one's original heart.

If you can't even guard your original heart and fall into madness like Huang Youshi did before, let alone accepting the inheritance, you'll likely be killed directly by the demonic energy here.

"I'll try..." Biyun Xianzi Pingyue volunteered.

Ji Wuxin said: "Okay... if Tian Shimei Pingyue has any problems, I can pull you back in here at any time!"

"Good!" Pingyue looked at He Pingsheng again and said: "I'll trouble the two of you!"

After finishing, she walked out of the golden barrier supported by Ji Wuxin's magic treasure and went outside.

She sat cross-legged on the ground!

The countless demonic energy and the golden runes around her surged toward Biyun Xianzi Pingyue in waves.

After she persisted for about half an hour, she couldn't hold on anymore.

He Pingsheng quickly fished her back from the outside.

"Sorry..." Biyun Xianzi Pingyue's face was somewhat pale: "I couldn't hold on. Two Senior Brothers, I can confirm one thing now!"

"This large formation outside is definitely not as simple as a fourth-tier trapping formation!"

"It should be... that on top of this trapping formation, an illusion formation has been superimposed!"

"We aren't really accepting the demonic inheritance outside; we are being controlled by that illusion!"

He Pingsheng's eyes narrowed slightly: An illusion formation?

Ji Wuxin said: "This is good news!"

"That's right!" He Pingsheng also nodded and said: "This is good news!"

The three people beside them were confused.

Wen Buwan asked: "Wang Shixiong He, why do you say it's good news?"

He Pingsheng smiled and said: "Look... there is only one layer of formation light film here, yet there are two formations!"

"So I suspect it shouldn't be two formations, but a composite formation of a trapping formation plus an illusion formation!"

"Correct!" Ji Wuxin took over the conversation: "It's highly likely to be so. If it is a composite formation, then it means this large formation possesses both bewitching and trapping functions, and its trapping function must be weaker than a pure trapping formation!"

"This is good news for us breaking the formation!"

"But even so, it remains a huge challenge for us!"

"You all rest well here!" He Pingsheng glanced at the four people: "I'll go out and try... if there is any news, remember to call me!"

After finishing, He Pingsheng took a step and walked out of the golden barrier.
