Near the black mist below, the bulge in the Black Mist Restriction grew larger and larger under Taoxiang's relentless spellcasting.
Bang! Bang! ...
With a string of deafening blasts, the Black Mist Formation finally burst apart, scattering more than half of the thick mist.
With a sharp hiss, the pillar of starlight from the Guxuan Star Disk pierced the remaining black mist, opening a gap several dozen feet across through which the interior was faintly visible.
A fierce gale swept outward, buffeting Taoxiang and the others until they staggered and could barely keep their footing.
Just then, an almost imperceptible silver shadow appeared before the opening and darted inside with a whoosh.
Pink light flashed over Taoxiang's body, and she immediately steadied herself. With a slight flick of her finger, she cast a veil of starlight invisible to the naked eye over the opening.
"The formation is open. Let's go in," she told Yan Lie and the others, then flew in first with Liu Hong and Li Biao.
Unwilling to fall behind, the others also flew inside, emerging above a huge island.
Oh? So there's an island behind the black mist, Myriad Waters True Immortal thought. The others also kept surveying their surroundings.
Once everyone had entered, Taoxiang formed a hand seal and pointed. The starlight on the Guxuan Star Disk flashed and vanished.
Without the star disk's power to hold it open, the gap in the Black Mist Restriction rapidly closed, disappearing completely within a few breaths.
Taoxiang's brows furrowed slightly. The moment she opened the gap, she had laid the Guxuan Star Disk's power over it. Any escape technique passing through would have triggered a response, yet apart from the seven of them, the star disk's power had detected no other presence.
*Was it really just my imagination?
