After thinking for a while, Mo Tiange shook her head and threw this question to the back of her mind.
She just needed to see which one was correct. Anyway, that was the only way.
Just as she was about to put away the Jade Slip and adjust her breath, she suddenly felt Xiaohuo's spiritual aura fluctuation. She quickly turned around and saw Xiaohuo running further and further away from her.
At this moment, Xiaohuo was fighting with a very thick vine.
Logically speaking, Xiaohuo was already a fifth rank spiritual beast. Even if this vine had demonic energy, it was still a plant. Especially after Xiaohuo had mutated and possessed the Sun Real Fire, ordinary demonic beasts shouldn't be able to defeat it. However, for some reason, this vine wasn't afraid of the Sun Real Fire at all. It only dodged slightly, and then swept towards Xiaohuo ferociously.
Realizing the situation was bad, Mo Tiange stood up.
"Xiaohuo!"
Upon hearing her voice, Xiaohuo spouted Sun Real Fire, forcing the vine to retreat, then turned around and ran back to her.
Mo Tiange waved her hand. A white light flashed, and the Heaven and Earth Fan appeared in her hand. She then carefully walked towards the vine.
This vine was very thick, several times thicker than the ones he had seen before. At first glance, it was impossible to find its roots. The branches and leaves were lush and entrenched, layer upon layer, like a towering tree.
Sun Real Fire was an excellent fire for concocting pills and refining tools. It could melt many hard things. This vine was just a plant with spiritual aura that ate demonic beasts, so why wasn't it afraid?
She thought for a while then took out her flying sword to cut the vine's leaves.
Before the flying sword arrived, the vine had already moved. Its branches danced in the air, trying to avoid the sword.
Mo Tiange shook her sleeves and pushed her spiritual aura. The flying sword stabbed straight. This time, it hit the target, but it only left a shallow sword mark on the vine.
Mo Tiange frowned slightly.
She wasn't good at flying swords, but this flying sword was a magic weapon given to her by Lord Daoist Jinghe. It was extremely sharp, but it actually couldn't cut it?
"Xiaohuo, burn it with magic!"
Xiaohuo obediently jumped forward and spouted Sun Real Fire again.
This time, the vine moved a bit more. Its leaves danced wildly and swept several strong winds, blocking the Real Fire.
However, Mo Tiange still noticed that there were burn marks at the ends of the leaves.
The True Sun Fire was still useful, but the effect was not that good.
However, using the Sun's True Flame to force the vines back was not enough.
Mo Tiange pondered for a moment and came up with an idea.
She took out the stone sculpture puppet from her Qiankun Bag.
Ever since she got these two puppets, she rarely used them against her enemies. It was because she advanced too quickly.
However, these two puppets were extremely strong and could be useful in certain situations.
At this moment, she was instructing the two puppets to walk towards the vine. The vine seemed to have sensed the spiritual energy, and its branches wrapped around the puppets. The two puppets stopped and swung their swords together.
With one slash, it only left two shallow wounds on the vines. Then, these soft vines wrapped around the two puppets.
Xiaohuo was a little anxious, so it let out "wu wu" sounds. These two puppets had always accompanied it in the Virtual Sky World, so they already had feelings for each other.
Mo Tiange smiled and comforted it. "Don't worry."
Although the Stone Sculpture Dolls were incredibly strong and hard, the vines were also extremely tough and flexible, perfectly restraining them.
It was impossible for them to cut the vines.
However, this wasn't Mo Tiange's plan when she took out the puppets.
The vines wrapped around the two mannequins until they were unable to move. Then, the vines flung them backwards.
At this time, Mo Tiange saw that there was a huge pocket between the tangled branches and leaves behind the vines, which looked like a big mouth.
When the vines rolled the puppets over, the big mouth opened, and the vines threw the puppets inside. The big mouth closed and began to wriggle as if it was swallowing something.
Seeing this scene, Mo Tiange smiled slightly. She moved her divine sense, and the big pocket suddenly protruded. The vines' branches and leaves began to tremble as if they were in pain.
Then, the trembling became more and more violent, and even the big pocket hidden deep in the back began to twist.
All of a sudden, with a "rip," a hole appeared in the big pocket. The stone sculpture puppet's stone sword came out from inside, and green liquid flowed out.
"Xiaohuo, spell!"
Xiaohuo jumped up and sprayed Sun's Real Flame.
At the same time, Mo Tiange's flying sword slashed forward. While the vines' branches were resisting the Sun's Real Flame, it flew in through the gap and stabbed the big pocket behind it.
This time, the flying sword neatly went into the handle, and more green liquid flowed out.
Then, the two stone sculpture puppets broke out of the big pocket.
The big pocket was no longer a pocket; it was so tattered that it almost looked like a sieve.
More and more green liquid flowed out from inside, and the vines' movements became slower and slower. In the end, they finally hung down and stopped moving.
Xiaohuo immediately cheered a few times, rushed up, and began to gnaw at the pocket.
Mo Tiange also walked over and studied this special vine.
If these vines were all monsters, this vine's cultivation level was obviously higher than the others. Even Sun's Real Flame couldn't burn its branches.
She thought for a moment, then used her flying sword to cut the branches.
Although she couldn't cut them immediately, she continuously used her flying sword to cut them. In the end, she still cut two of them.
At this time, Xiaohuo had already eaten the big pocket. Looking at the green vines that were already lifeless, its black eyes turned, and it couldn't help but take a bite.
This time, it almost bit its teeth to pieces. It jumped up with a "wu" sound, covered its mouth with its two front paws, and jumped around on the ground.
Mo Tiange was amused by its actions and grabbed it. "Let's see if you're still greedy!"
Xiaohuo covered its mouth for a long time before it blinked, put down its paws, and lowered its head pitifully.
Mo Tiange stroked its head and said, "This thing is too hard. You can't chew it off. If you want to take it away, it'll take a long time. Let's wait until we come back."
She only cut off two branches, but it took her so long. If she wanted to take all these things away, it would take her several days.
The purpose of her trip was to find Mo Yaoqing's Immortal's Cave, so she'd better finish her business first.
She took Xiaohuo into the Virtual Sky World, rested for a while, then left the Virtual Sky World and continued on their journey.
They flew southeast for another two days. The sea was vast, and there was no trace of an island.
Mo Tiange searched for a long time, using the compass to check her position. Eventually, she confirmed that the sea map Wei Haolan gave her was correct. There was indeed no big island here.
Maybe after five thousand years, that big island had already disappeared in the boundless sea.
Helpless, she could only continue to look for the next sign.
Just like that, she flew and stopped, searching for several months.
When she was tired, she went into the Virtual Sky World to rest and play with the two spiritual beasts. When she was full of energy, she came out and continued to fly. During this time, she took several wrong turns and encountered several demonic beasts in the sea.
On Mo Yaoqing's map, several small islands had already disappeared. Towards the end, the sea chart Wei Haolan gave her also didn't have any records. Mo Yaoqing had no choice but to rely on the compass to correct the direction bit by bit and find the right path.
A few months later, Mo Tiange began to feel anxious.
Although she didn't need to look for an island to rest and her spiritual aura was always full, every day she flew, she always saw the boundless sea. She didn't even have anyone to talk to, so the mental pressure was getting bigger and bigger.
In a place that never changed, it was easy for people to feel anxious, even if she was a cultivator.
Just as she was about to reach her limit, her divine sense jumped and she finally sensed spiritual aura fluctuations in the distance.
Upon discovering this, Mo Tiange was overjoyed. She had been going around the sea for several months and had almost gone crazy. If she continued like this, she could only give up temporarily and enter the Virtual Sky World to cultivate her mental state. Fortunately, she finally sensed it.
According to Mo Yaoqing's map, this was the last place she had to look for.
The spiritual aura fluctuations became stronger and stronger, and an island finally appeared in her line of sight.
Mo Tiange was ecstatic. She was glad that this island didn't become one of the sunken islands. If it did, her trip would've been in vain.
But at this time, she became more cautious because Mo Yaoqing clearly said in the Jade Slip that there were powerful formations and restrictions in the Immortal's Cave she passed away in meditation.
Mo Yaoqing was a genius. The part about formations in her notes gave Mo Tiange a lot of inspiration, not to mention the Immortal's Cave she personally set up. Even if she had the map in her hand, Mo Tiange didn't dare to take it lightly.
When she got closer, Mo Tiange circled several times over the island.
This was a small island with a circumference of about five miles. It was surrounded by clouds and faint spiritual aura, giving off a fairy-like aura.
Mo Tiange could see that there should be a middle-level spirit vein on this island, but most of the spiritual aura was restrained and only a small amount of spiritual aura escaped.
This kind of spiritual aura couldn't attract the attention of high-level demonic beasts, but some low-level sea beasts appeared around the island.
The island was ring-shaped. The outermost layer was a beach, and the inner layer was a gradually raised small mountain. Looking down from above, in the blue sea, a layer of fine white sand surrounded a piece of green, looking very beautiful.
On the highest mountain in the middle, Mo Tiange found traces of formations, which were consistent with the records in Mo Yaoqing's Jade Slip.
After confirming she was in the right place, Mo Tiange spread her hand and the White Silk Handkerchief flew out, turning into a thin mist that surrounded her. Then she held the Heaven and Earth Fan tightly and slowly descended.
Although she found the place, it was hard to say whether it was dangerous or not. After all, five thousand years had passed, so it was normal to have some changes in the middle.
When she finally stepped on the ground, Mo Tiange spread her divine sense first. Except for the location of the Immortal's Cave mentioned by Mo Yaoqing, there was no danger in other places. She felt a little relieved and walked towards the Immortal's Cave.
Mo Yaoqing said there was a Seven Extremes Formation she created outside the Immortal's Cave. She didn't explain how to break this formation in the Jade Slip, which could be regarded as a test for future generations.
Coincidentally, Mo Tiange had obtained her personal notes, which contained sporadic records about this Seven Extremes Formation. Coupled with her own attainments in formations, she had a certain degree of confidence in breaking this formation.
The so-called Seven Extremes Formation was actually the Five Elements and Yin and Yang. Each extreme was a test, and this formation was composed of seven tests.
Mo Yaoqing called this formation Seven Extremes because she was proud of herself. She thought she had reached the pinnacle of combining the Five Elements and Yin and Yang in her cultivation realm, so she named it Seven Extremes.
In this formation, the Five Elements suddenly changed. Sometimes they restrained each other, and sometimes they promoted each other. It seemed to be metal, but it could also be water or fire. Yin and Yang were mixed up, and it would be difficult to distinguish whether it was Yin or Yang unless one was extremely proficient in formations.
Therefore, the secret to breaking this formation was actually one word — divide. As long as the division was clear, this formation would be easy to break.
