Chapter 504: Chapter 200: Sudden Change, Black Fog
“`
As Lin Jing activated the Immortal Five Elents Technique, the violent Five Elents Power beca sowhat stabilized.
Indeed.
Lin Jing’s guess was correct.
The Five Elents Power could indeed be controlled by the Immortal Five Elents Technique.
Even though it could be controlled, to completely pacify the Five Elents Power within the Formation would still require considerable effort.
However, Lin Jing was not in a hurry right now.
If he were to pacify it too quickly, that would truly be problematic.
Thus, Lin Jing, while using the Five Elents Divine Art to control the colorful stream of light, continuously moved through the Formation.
At the sa ti, he secretly utilized the Immortal Five Elents Technique to slowly control the violent Five Elents Power, allowing that power to gradually calm down.
Throughout this ti, Lin Jing maintained a deep frown, pretending to be fully exerting himself, and with the concealnt effect of the Changyun Hidden Technique, no one noticed anything out of the ordinary.
In this manner, several hours passed, and the Five Elents Power within the Formation slowly returned to a state of calm.
At this mont, Lin Jing appeared much weaker compared to before, and his face showed signs of fatigue.
Then, Xue Yilin spoke to Lin Jing:
“Lin Daoyou…”
“Next, all we need to do is transfer out this Five Elents Power.”
Lin Jing nodded.
After that, he controlled the Five Elents Power to move within the Formation, until after a mont, Lin Jing said to the others:
“Fellow Daoists, we can now dismantle the Formation.”
Hearing Lin Jing’s words, the others also sighed with relief, and then began to dismantle the Formation.
With the dismantling of the Formation, Lin Jing then controlled the Five Elents Power to the center of the plaza.
After that, Lin Jing released his control over the clump of Five Elents Power, and it began to slowly dissipate.
Just as the Five Elents Power was dissipating…
Suddenly…
A violent fluctuation emanated throughout the entire space.
Then, on the ground of the plaza, a gigantic Formation appeared, and upon its ergence, several beams of light in various colors shot up into the sky.
These beams were divided into five colors: red, yellow, green, white, and black, two of each color.
Furthermore, the light beams didn’t gather together but were distributed across the plaza in a Formation arrangent.
After the appearance of the light columns, a pitch-black fog rose from outside the palace, and this black fog was slowly moving, crossing over the palace walls and surging into the plaza.
Moreover, this black fog was approaching from all four directions, everywhere at once, and in a mont, the people were surrounded by it.
Xue Yilin’s expression changed dramatically upon seeing the black fog, and his face sank as he said:
“How can this be…”
A mont later, Xue Yilin said to the others:
“Fellow Daoists, this black fog is dangerous. Quickly take refuge inside the Formation Eyes.”
As he spoke, Xue Yilin took shelter inside a nearby beam of light that radiated black luminance.
Seeing Xue Yilin’s reaction, Bai Yi furrowed his brows and asked him:
“What’s going on?”
Xue Yilin hurriedly explained:
“Island Master…”
“An accident must have occurred in the Water Hall of the Five Elents, causing this situation. This black fog is different from the white fog outside. It must not be touched at all costs. Only by taking refuge within the Formation Eyes can one be safe.”
Upon hearing Xue Yilin’s words, the first to react was not Bai Yi, but the Demon Lord, who promptly summoned a Flying Sword and charged into the black fog.
However, upon contact with the black fog, the Flying Sword started to slowly dissolve.
“`
In just a short while, the Flying Sword lost control, and only half of it clanged onto the ground before being devoured by the surging black fog.
Seeing this, everyone’s expression turned grim.
At that mont, the Demon Lord spoke to Xue Yilin, asking:
“How long will this black fog last?”
Xue Yilin promptly replied:
“Replying to the Demon Lord, the black fog will persist for three days before it gradually dissipates.”
“We’ll wait here within the Formation Eye for three days, and then the square will be safe. At that ti, we can head to the Water Hall of Five Elents to see what the situation is.”
After hearing this, the Demon Lord spoke no further and walked straight towards a nearby column of light.
Seeing this,
the others chose a column of light and entered it as well.
Lin Jing looked at the black column of light not far ahead, just as he thought to step into it.
However, as soon as Lin Jing moved, the column was claid by another, none other than the cultivator who had been attacked by a puppet before.
Seeing the column taken, Lin Jing frowned slightly and then chose another direction, heading towards a red column of light a little further away.
This ti, they would have to hide within the Formation Eye for three days, and Lin Jing did not wish to stay with the others.
Though Lin Jing preferred solitude, there were others who were close and prepared to move to one of the Formation Eyes together.
Just then, Xue Yilin hurriedly spoke up:
“Fellow Daoist…”
“Only one person can be accommodated within each Formation Eye. If too many enter, it will not serve any protective purpose. Rember to stay separated.”
Heeding Xue Yilin’s warning, the two imdiately halted their steps and, cupping their fists towards Xue Yilin, said:
“Many thanks for the reminder, Fellow Daoist…”
After speaking, the two parted ways, heading towards different Formation Eyes.
There were a total of ten Formation Eyes and there were nine of them, so there was no need to compete for space, as there were more than enough to accommodate everyone.
It wasn’t until everyone had entered a Formation Eye that the black fog slowly drifted over.
The black fog was dense, obscuring everything around it so tightly that nothing could be seen.
Quickly, in just a dozen or so breaths, the black fog had already drifted close to the farthest unoccupied Formation Eye.
However, as the black fog neared the Formation Eye, it was directly blocked by the column of light.
It failed to enter the Formation Eye.
Upon seeing this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, the black fog drifted again, approaching the second Formation Eye.
At this mont, the cultivator inside that Formation Eye was also intently watching the black fog with furrowed brows.
It wasn’t long before the second Formation Eye was engulfed.
Just like with the first Formation Eye, the column of light kept the black fog at bay.
The cultivator inside was at last able to ease up.
In this manner, the black fog surged from all directions, confining Lin Jing and his companions within the Formation Eyes.
The area inside the Formation Eye was not large, only about twenty feet in size, making it difficult to move around much.
Fortunately, everyone was a cultivator, and three days’ ti was simply a matter of ditating to pass it by.
Outside the Formation Eye, it was truly ink-like black fog.
Once outside the Formation Eye, nothing could be seen, such was the density of the black fog.
Moreover, Lin Jing tried to extend his Divine Sense and discovered that even the Divine Sense could not probe outwards. If Lin Jing’s Divine Sense could not reach out, it was certainly the sa for others.
However,
fortunately, Lin Jing still had the System Space. If he wanted to investigate, he could just use the Observation Mode, so there wasn’t too much to worry about…
