The surface of the water was very calm and sparkling. The gentle breeze made Mo Tiange think of the sea she saw when she first arrived in Linhai.
But she knew that was just an illusion. When it was angry, the waves would surge and swallow countless people in an instant.
Luo Fengxue explained the so-called Five-Spirit Killing Formation to her. There were five kinds of spiritual auras, each with a formation. Only by passing all five formations — metal, wood, water, fire, and earth — could she be considered to have passed the test.
The Five-Spirit Killing Formation had a very small chance of mutation. It could choose two to five kinds of spiritual auras and combine them into a new kind of formation.
Her luck was very good. The formation in front of her didn't have any mutation and was just an ordinary water spiritual formation.
But how could she break the formation?
Metal gave birth to water, water gave birth to wood, earth restrained water, and water restrained fire.
Therefore, she couldn't use the elements of metal and fire. It was better to use the two elements of wood and earth or magic weapons.
Mo Tiange pondered for a while. Her magic weapons didn't have any clear five elements, so she might as well use talismans.
Once she made up her mind, she took out an earth magic talisman and flew high.
Looking down from above, the surface of the water was boundless, but there weren't any waves, so she couldn't see any danger.
But the calmer it was, the more unusual it was. How could a formation specially used to test people's ability in fights of magical powers be calm?
Mo Tiange made a hand seal and threw several talismans down. As soon as these talismans touched the surface of the water, they made deafening "rumbling" sounds.
Wind and waves finally rose. The surface of the water that was calm a moment ago immediately turned into monstrous waves that almost swept her down. The surging spiritual aura tried to cut her apart.
Mo Tiange stopped in midair and steadied her mind.
This formation was only the first test to enter the Ten Thousand Laws of Nature Formation, so it couldn't be considered powerful. Under her continuous attacks of earth talismans and spells, the wind and waves soon lost their strength and gradually subsided.
The water under her feet began to blur. Mo Tiange smiled.
She had some confidence in formations. This Ten Thousand Laws of Nature Formation was too big for her to understand, but what was so scary about a small Five-Spirit Killing Formation?
Just as she thought of this, a new formation was formed, and the smile on her face froze.
After a while, she showed a bitter smile and sighed.
Sure enough, she couldn't be too full of herself. In front of her was a raging gale, flashes of lightning, rolling sand and stones, and raging fire. She had obviously hit the jackpot, the Metal, Wood, Fire, and Earth Four Elements Mutated Formation!
This time, she didn't have time to think about how to break the formation. Violent winds swept over, lightning struck down, and the spiritual light formed by the four kinds of spiritual auras all attacked her.
She took out the White Silk Handkerchief, but it didn't turn into a brick wall. Instead, it slowly expanded and wrapped around her like a gauze.
This was the method she had comprehended during her ten years in the Dao-Achieving Pagoda. Although it wasn't any better than the original brick wall, it was more flexible.
Then, she searched her Qiankun Pouch and tossed out two items. They were two stone sculpture puppets.
After Mo Tiange obtained these two puppets, she went through a round of sacrificial refining and could already use them as she pleased. They were perfect for breaking through this Ten Thousand Laws of Nature Formation.
As soon as the two stone puppets landed on the ground, they brandished their giant swords and rushed towards the sand and rocks.
They were extremely strong. In an instant, the Sword Qi that they brandished tore the sand and stones apart. Even the raging fire had to make way for them.
But this still wasn't enough. Lightning came from metal, wind came from wood, earth gave birth to metal, and wood restrained earth.
These two stone sculpture puppets were of the wood attribute, so they were helpless against the lightning and the violent winds.
Mo Tiange thought for a moment then opened her spiritual beast pouch and released Xiaohuo.
Xiaohuo was now a spiritual beast in the peak of the third rank. It was no longer a first rank spiritual beast that could only be used to provide her with concocting fire when she first caught it. With the power of its Sun Real Fire, it already possessed the ability to fight as a spiritual beast.
It was precisely because of this that Mo Tiange deliberately put it into the spiritual beast pouch and carried it with her instead of leaving it in the Virtual Sky World like before.
Now, it finally came in handy.
Xiaohuo had already established a subordination contract with her. One person and one beast were connected, so Mo Tiange didn't need to say anything. Xiaohuo already jumped down, opened its mouth, and spewed out Sun Real Fire to fight against the violent winds and lightning.
Mo Tiange hovered in the air, using her divine comprehension to command the stone sculpture puppets and Xiaohuo.
After advancing to the late stage of the Foundation Building realm, with her current strength, she no longer feared anyone below the Core Formation realm. Even if this was a formation left behind from the Middle Ages era, with her familiarity with formations, there was nothing to be afraid of.
Before long, under the attacks of the stone sculpture puppets and Xiaohuo, the lightning became more and more powerless, the raging fire gradually extinguished, the violent winds stopped, and the sand and stones also quieted down.
Mo Tiange was about to heave a sigh of relief when she saw the four kinds of spiritual aura slowly converging on the ground. Then, the sand and stones slowly surged as if they were half alive and gradually condensed into a stone man.
Upon seeing this, Mo Tiange's expression turned solemn.
This stone man had a body made of sand and stones, eyes made of raging fire, and arms made of wind and thunder. It was obviously formed by the fusion of the four spirits.
Formations from the Middle Ages era were indeed not simple.
She waved her hand, and Xiaohuo, who was staring at the stone man, ran back into her arms.
Mo Tiange patted its head. "Don't act rashly. Attack when I tell you to."
Xiaohuo whimpered twice and obediently shrank beside her legs.
Mo Tiange sent out her divine comprehension. The two stone sculpture puppets each brandished their stone swords and attacked the stone man.
The flames in the stone man's eyes flickered, and it turned its head towards the puppets.
Mo Tiange had seen the strength of these two stone sculpture puppets before. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they had infinite strength.
At this moment, the stone swords ruthlessly slashed at the stone man, but the stone man didn't dodge and faced it head-on.
"Boom!" With a loud, muffled sound, the stone sculpture puppets retreated several steps. They were actually beaten back by the stone man!
Mo Tiange's expression was grave. Fortunately, these stone sculpture puppets were made of special materials. Although their strength wasn't a match for the stone man, they weren't damaged.
Mo Tiange thought for a moment then patted Xiaohuo. "Xiaohuo, attack it. Stay far away from it and don't let it touch you."
Xiaohuo grunted in response and leaped up from the side of her leg. Fire magic was cast on the stone man's body.
The stone man's movements were slow. When it saw Xiaohuo's spells, it didn't dodge or evade. Instead, it turned its body and faced Xiaohuo's Sun Real Fire with its body of sand and stone.
Stone came from earth, and fire gave birth to earth. Mo Tiange didn't expect that the stone man formed by the four spirits actually had elementary intelligence.
Mo Tiange raised her brows. She had never seen such a formation before.
This stone man was formed by the fusion of the four spirits. The principle of mutual promotion and restraint between the five spirits couldn't destroy it. It was also incomparably sturdy and had infinite strength. Furthermore, it didn't have any divine sense … Mo Tiange couldn't use any of her attacking methods.
Because she was in midair, the stone man couldn't fly, so it could only brandish its wind and thunder aura to attack her. Mo Tiange used the White Silk Handkerchief to protect herself while dodging left and right, racking her brains.
Her spells couldn't work, her weapons couldn't work, and her Soul-Refining Art couldn't work … What other methods did she have?
Right, trap! Break the formation with a formation!
Having made up her mind, Mo Tiange put her hands into her Qiankun Bag then raised her hands, throwing out several formation flags.
These formation flags were full of formation veined patterns using special beast blood. After they were placed around the stone man, Mo Tiange took out the largest formation flag and condensed her aura on her finger. Her finger moved as fast as lightning and pointed at the formation flag. All the formation flags arranged around the stone man immediately stood up.
Mo Tiange waved the formation flag in her hand. All the formation flags around the stone man shone brightly and suddenly interweaved into a net of light, enveloping the stone man.
The flames in the stone man's eyes throbbed, and the wind and thunder aura in its arms moved faintly. Countless wind and thunder spells were continuously used, but it couldn't sense Mo Tiange's breath.
It had no consciousness, no emotions, only simple intelligence. When these formation flags were arranged around it, it didn't know how to retreat from the range of the formation and could only stand there in a daze.
Now that the formation had been arranged, it couldn't find Mo Tiange's position at all. It could only use the simple intelligence given to it by the person who arranged this formation to use wind and thunder attacks to try to break the cage that trapped it.
If it was an ordinary formation, it would've probably been forcibly broken under its wind and thunder attacks. However, the formation Mo Tiange laid was an improved formation she studied from the Xuanji Formation Book and combined with the related books in the Virtual Sky World.
The stone man's wind and thunder attacks hit the formation. The formation flags swayed, but they didn't fall.
Mo Tiange kept pouring spiritual aura into the formation flags, firmly trapping it.
This was a stupid method.
Hundreds of high grade spirit stones were needed to open this huge formation, so it could be imagined how much spiritual aura was needed.
There were a total of three hundred people who entered, and each of them had to undergo the test alone. Therefore, the test they had to undergo must have a spiritual aura limit. Otherwise, other people's tests would be affected.
As long as they persisted for a while and exhausted their spiritual aura, the test would be over.
Mo Tiange was also helpless. She was now in the late stage of the Foundation Building realm and wasn't afraid of cultivators below the Core Formation realm, but this was, after all, a formation from the Middle Ages era. She was also unlucky enough to encounter a Four Spirits Into One Mutated Formation. The reason she could come up with this stupid method to break the formation was because she was proficient in formations.
Time passed bit by bit. The sound of wind and thunder on the stone man's body finally subsided and it collapsed with a loud bang.
The formation flags on the ground, which had been enduring the stone man's fierce attacks, also softened.
Mo Tiange heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she took the right step.
Unfortunately, this stone man was really powerful, so this Xuanji Disorienting Formation could be considered destroyed.
She picked up the destroyed Disorienting Formation flags on the ground and put them into her Qiankun Bag. The scenery around her slowly changed. The wild scene just now gradually disappeared, revealing its original appearance — it was just a cave.
The frightening thing was that after such a series of attacks, there wasn't even a trace left on the surrounding rock walls.
Mo Tiange was lost in thought. This formation was really powerful — it was really unexpected.
The several kinds of talismans she used in the formation, the two stone sculpture puppets' tremendous strength, and Xiaohuo's Sun Real Fire unexpectedly didn't leave a trace on the rock walls.
It was clear that this formation could completely eliminate the power inside the formation.
Xiaohuo's whimpering came into her ears. Mo Tiange followed its line of sight and saw it drooling while looking at a spiritual plant in the corner.
She smiled and picked Xiaohuo up. "Don't look. No matter how much you look, it won't be yours.
If you want spiritual panaceas, wait until we're done and enter the Virtual Sky World. You can eat whatever you want then, but this won't do. "
Xiaohuo let out a dejected "Mm" but didn't struggle anymore.
Mo Tiange put it aside then took out the medicine pouch specially used to store spiritual panaceas. She picked the mature spiritual plants growing on the rock walls and in the corners, then put them into the pouch.
As for those that looked like seedlings or weren't mature enough, she just let them continue to grow.
After she finished doing all this, she put the medicine pouch into her Qiankun Bag and walked towards the depths of the cave with Xiaohuo.
