Mo Tiange knew there must be a formation in front of her, but she couldn't figure it out!
Just now, when Luo Fengxue and Wei Jiaxing talked alone, she left alone, planning to find a place that was neither too far nor too close to keep a lookout for them. However, she accidentally found traces of a formation nearby.
That wasn't a big deal, but even with her attainments in formations, she couldn't see what this formation was, let alone break it.
She had no choice but to go back to look for the two of them. Unexpectedly, she had already fallen into a formation without realizing it and couldn't leave.
Everything in front of her was white as if she was in a fog. She couldn't see anything clearly.
Mo Tiange pondered for a moment then stopped moving. Instead, she sat cross-legged and spread her divine sense.
Since she had entered the Foundation Building realm, she had explored several kilometers with her divine sense. Since this was a formation, this distance was enough to find the eye of the formation.
However, just as she spread her divine sense, the fog around her seemed to be alive. It surged everywhere and blocked her divine sense.
She opened her eyes and frowned deeply.
No, this formation in front of me is so brilliant. It's definitely not laid by demonic beasts with low intelligence. Is there an expert or senior hiding here?
A thought flashed through her mind. She thought of a possibility and shouted, "Martial Uncle Shoujing, is Martial Uncle Shoujing here?"
Her voice slowly dispersed in the fog. Mo Tiange waited for a while, but she didn't hear a reply.
Did she guess wrong?
She thought for a moment then slowly walked forward.
This fog was like a cloud, so thick that it was almost solid. She only walked a few steps, but she found that it was the same everywhere. She couldn't tell the path and couldn't walk.
At that moment, a faint light flashed. She moved sideways and a lightning bolt fell on the ground next to her, leaving a scorched mark.
Mo Tiange was shocked. She looked around vigilantly but didn't find any other traces.
Behind her, the fog gradually condensed into a human figure walking towards her.
Mo Tiange trembled all over and lowered her body. This time, it was a flying sword stuck in the ground.
She followed the direction of the flying sword and turned around. Shocked, she blurted out, "Second Uncle!"
She saw a long-bearded old man in cyan clothes standing in the fog several feet away. It was Ye Jiang's appearance before he was injured!
Nevertheless, in the next second, Mo Tiange became even more vigilant. She knew Second Uncle was already dead, so the person in front of her was definitely not Second Uncle. Could it be that this cloud could actually copy people from her imagination?
She didn't have the time to think before Ye Jiang raised his hand and withdrew a jade disk.
Mo Tiange broke out in a cold sweat when she saw this Jade Plate.
This was Second Uncle's Thick Soil Plate, which was refined by her father after he formed his Gold Core. Its power was extraordinary, but when they were escaping from Mount Yunwu, Second Uncle forcibly attacked, so this Thick Soil Plate was already broken.
She was even more certain that this was just a copy of a character based on her impression. However, this formation could actually copy a character from one's imagination, and it could even transform into an artifact. It was quite amazing. Looking at that flying sword just now, its power was probably real!
Cold sweat broke out on her forehead, but she didn't even have time to wipe it away. With a wave of her hand, she summoned the Shuttle of Soaring Apsara.
If this Second Uncle's illusion really had the same power as when he was alive, she was afraid that she would be killed on the spot if she was not careful!
The jade plate floated in the air. Ye Jiang's face was expressionless as he formed hand seals and muttered incantations. Streams of spiritual energy continuously struck the jade plate, causing it to swell up like a mat.
Nevertheless, Mo Tiange knew this Thick Soil Plate's weakness.
This thing was called Thick Soil, so it naturally had the earth attribute. The earth was thick and solid. If she waited until the spiritual energy was completely injected, this jade plate would directly smash down with enough power to make her suffer. However, this thing needed time to increase its power. If she attacked first and seized the initiative, she could restrain it.
Immediately, the Shuttle of Soaring Apsara turned into a golden net and flew directly towards this illusion.
"Ah!"
The golden net firmly stabbed into the illusion, causing it to let out a blood-curdling scream. Mo Tiange's hands couldn't help but tremble when she saw Second Uncle's pained expression.
Once she moved, she discovered that this illusion didn't have the reaction speed of a real person, but it was too similar.
She clearly knew the Second Uncle in front of her was fake, but he looked so similar that she almost couldn't bear to attack him.
All of a sudden, a malicious glint flashed in the illusion's eyes. He pointed his finger, causing the enlarged Thick Soil Plate to suddenly smash down on her.
Mo Tiange's figure flashed. In an instant, she was already several dozen feet away. She clasped her hands together and heard another painful scream. The golden light broke through the illusion's body, and the Second Uncle in front of her gradually faded away. The Thick Soil Plate also broke inch by inch and disappeared.
Mo Tiange wiped the sweat on her face and slowly calmed down.
A fake was a fake after all. Second Uncle wouldn't look at her like that, and he also wouldn't attack her.
She turned around and took two steps, but she was stunned again.
A person stood several dozen feet away from her. He had handsome eyebrows and a gloomy expression — it was Qin Xi.
Mo Tiange instantly released the Shuttle of Soaring Apsara. However, unlike Second Uncle, this Qin Xi illusion didn't react to her attack. Instead, he raised his hand, causing the golden light to converge and transform into the Shuttle of Soaring Apsara again. He caught it in his hand.
Mo Tiange was shocked!
Ever since she obtained the Shuttle of Soaring Apsara, she knew the power of this thing. When scattered, it could form a formation; when gathered, it could form a needle. It had form but no substance, and it could kill people without leaving a trace. She grasped the formation to control this thing and refined it for a long time, so how could it be easily taken away by someone?
But this was just a fleeting thought. Now wasn't the time to think about this matter. She fumbled in her Qiankun Bag and took out a flying sword and several small flying daggers.
The flying daggers were originally the Iron-Teethed Crocodile's fangs. After she built her foundation, she refined them into magic tools in Xuanqing School's tool-refining shop. Although they weren't very powerful, they were good for sneak attacks.
The flying sword faced the enemy head-on while the flying daggers launched a sneak attack from behind.
Qin Xi didn't use the Shuttle of Soaring Apsara. Instead, he took out a sword. It was the sword with an astonishing momentum she once saw. The sword was golden in color and was covered in pulsating flames.
The sword lightly swung, knocking her flying sword down. Then, it flicked again, knocking all the flying daggers away.
Mo Tiange was stunned. Although she still had magic tools on her, she hadn't refined them yet. Right now, she could only hurriedly take out several defensive talismans and put them on her body. She also took out a Wind Spell Talisman and threw it out.
By the time she finished doing all these, Qin Xi's sword had already arrived. In an instant, it split into two, two into four, four into eight, all of which directly attacked Mo Tiange from different directions.
Mo Tiange simply didn't have enough time to react. She could only watch helplessly as the sword pierced her body!
However, she didn't feel the pain she expected. Instead, her body felt lighter, and the sword's might vanished in a flash. The Qin Xi in front of her also gradually dissipated, and the Shuttle of Soaring Apsara fell.
Mo Tiange was still in a state of shock. After thinking for a moment, she understood.
The person was fake, and the surrounding environment was also fake, so the attack was also fake. It was just an illusion created by relying on spiritual aura fluctuations!
She made up her mind and retrieved her flying sword, Shuttle of Soaring Apsara, and other things. She then sat down cross-legged and slowly recovered her spiritual aura.
At this moment, a person once again appeared in front of her. It was the already dead Xu Jingzhi!
She didn't know who killed Xu Jingzhi in the fight for the Foundation-Building Pill. After that, she was faced with a lot of problems, so she never thought about him again. Now that she saw Xu Jingzhi, she couldn't help but feel her heart fluctuate.
However, a moment later, she adjusted her state of mind. She closed her eyes and concentrated on adjusting her breath.
She sensed Xu Jingzhi's talisman flying towards her, but she didn't move. She was already in the Foundation Building realm now, so Xu Jingzhi's attack was very weak.
The moment the talisman came into contact with her body, it swayed and disappeared along with Xu Jingzhi.
After that, Murong Yan, Senior Martial Brother Zhou, Luo Fengxue, and the others appeared one by one. Since Mo Tiange had already comprehended the mystery behind the talisman, she just pretended she didn't see anything and sat in meditation in silence.
When she opened her eyes again, the scenery in front of her was no longer the indistinct sea of fog and clouds. Instead, it was a vast expanse of yellow sand and the scorching sun.
Mo Tiange pondered for a moment then stood up and looked around.
Boundless yellow sand, the sun hanging high in the sky, and the fierce wind … it looked very much like the desert in the west of the Celestial Pole.
She once again released her divine sense, but she discovered that it spread out without any hindrance.
Feeling this, Mo Tiange was pleasantly surprised. She immediately closed her eyes and concentrated on exploring with her divine sense.
Soon, a smile appeared on her face.
The eye of the formation!
She found the eye of the formation!
After carefully sensing her surroundings, Mo Tiange opened her eyes and judged her direction.
According to her divine sense, the eye of the formation was located about half a mile away.
This distance was very reasonable. If she could reach the eye of the formation, she should be able to escape.
The yellow sand under her feet was extremely soft. When she stepped on it, it sank up to her knees. Like walking on snow, every step was extremely difficult. She originally wanted to fly, but she discovered she couldn't fly in this place. She could only calm down and move forward one step at a time.
The wind blew up the yellow sand, making whooshing sounds and fiercely hitting her face, making her feel extremely painful.
The scorching sun shone on her body, making her feel like her whole body was burning.
Mo Tiange was stunned when she sensed this.
She was already a Foundation Building cultivator now, so she was immune to heat and cold. Why did she feel uncomfortable being shone by the sun and hurt being hit by the gale?
Realizing this problem, she immediately wanted to move the spiritual aura in her body to arrange a defensive barrier around her. However, she was stunned.
Her body was completely empty. Whether it was her dantian or meridians, there was no spiritual aura at all!
After standing for a while, Mo Tiange's face was covered in sweat. This formation actually turned her into a mortal!
She wiped the sweat from her face and put her hand into her Qiankun Bag. It was useless. Opening the Qiankun Bag required a bit of spiritual aura, but now, she didn't even have this bit of spiritual aura!
She couldn't use her Qiankun Bag, she had nothing on her body, and she had no spiritual aura, so she couldn't cast a single spell. Now, she could only use her divine sense. However, her Soul-Refining Technique hadn't reached its peak yet, so it was useless!
After thinking for a while, she calmed down and continued to walk step by step towards the eye of the formation.
In any case, if she found the eye of the formation, there would definitely be a turning point.
After walking for a while with her head down, Mo Tiange turned around and saw that the sand and wind had gradually covered her footprints in the direction she came from.
She closed her eyes again to sense her position, but what she saw shocked her once again.
The distance of that position didn't change at all!
She thought quickly. Could it be that she didn't go out at all?
But the footprints were real.
Then, could it be that the position changed?
Thinking of this, her face couldn't help but turn pale.
If that was the case, she didn't have the ability to resist at all!
"Calm down, calm down!" Mo Tiange muttered in her heart. She then took a deep breath and began to think from the beginning.
This formation was obviously an Illusory Formation, but it was a fact that she had no spiritual aura right now. How could she break this formation?
There was no killing intent around her. The scorching sun, the yellow sand, and the gale were a kind of torment. This was either a trap or a test of her willpower …
After thinking for a while, she clenched her teeth and continued to walk forward.
If she didn't move, it would be a trap, but if she moved, she might have a chance to survive!
Step by step, she didn't know how long she had been walking. Her vision started to blur, but her willpower remained firm and she clenched her teeth.
Her hands were so sore that she almost couldn't lift her legs. The wind became stronger, and the sun became hotter … Finally, her body went limp. She fell to the ground and passed out.
After a long time, the sky seemed to be torn apart. A crack appeared, and a man wearing a Daoist robe floated in from the outside. He muttered in a low voice, "The little girl isn't bad. She actually persisted for this long.
Aling, for your sake, I won't make things difficult for her … "
