Xuan Long said, "To get to Xinbo Cape, we must go through this teleportation array. Everyone, follow me." He was enveloped in golden light and took the lead, flying forward.
The others immediately followed suit.
The Evolving Incantation Divine Armor on Li Qiang's body emitted a dazzling golden light, and the Fire Essence dormant in his chest also emitted a wisp of purple light.
Of the five, besides Li Qiang, Chiming's Divine Battle Robe was also very strange. When he flew, his whole body was covered with a layer of colorful star flowers, and a colorful light trailed behind him as he flew, like a falling meteorite, which was very beautiful.
Since Li Qiang used the War Soul Saber, also known as the Divine Artifact Ninefold Evolving Gilt Flow, his flying speed has increased rapidly. Even Luo Heaven High Immortal might not be able to match him. In the blink of an eye, he caught up with Xuan Long.
Qian Shanyong followed closely behind, and Chiming, relying on the All-Heaven Divine Staff, also quickly caught up. Among the five, Dainan Fengyu was surprisingly the slowest.
After flying for about ten hours, the teleportation array set up by the ancient immortals finally appeared before everyone's eyes.
Teleportation arrays set up by cultivators are generally on the ground and are almost all flat, while the Ancient Immortal Formation is in space, is a huge circle, and is three-dimensional.
Li Qiang felt that the Ancient Immortal Formation was like a hollowed-out jade ball. The dark blue sphere was made up of large, unidentified rocks. Each boulder was suspended in the air on its own, seemingly unconnected to the other rocks. Each rock was about half the size of a tennis court, with strange shapes and patterns carved on it.
Li Qiang knew that the rocks were restrained by an array, and the layers of rock formed the entire Ancient Immortal Formation, which looked very special.
Xuan Long waved and flew towards the center of the sphere, with Li Qiang following closely behind.
As they flew, Li Qiang discovered that this Ancient Immortal Formation was enormous, about the size of a small meteorite. The flight path of the Xuan Long was governed by rules, Qian Shanyong secretly transmitted a message to Li Qiang: "Stay close to the Wood Dragon; if you go the wrong way, you'll be removed from the Ancient Immortal Formation."
Soon, the five of them arrived at the center of the Ancient Immortal Formation.
Li Qiang curiously touched and looked around, then asked, "What's used to activate the Ancient Immortal Formation?"
Xuan Long laughed and said, "It uses immortal spiritual energy and a special spiritual technique. If you want to learn it, just watch my movements." After he finished speaking, he began to perform the spiritual technique.
Qian Shanyong looked around and said, "This Ancient Immortal Formation has been used recently, hmm, it's been used for teleportation quite a few times..."
As Xuan Long released his spiritual technique, the seemingly heavy, enormous rock began to move.
Li Qiang was amazed; the sight of such a massive Ancient Immortal Formation rotating was truly magnificent.
After Xuan Long finished casting the last set of spiritual spells, he said, "Everyone, don't move. The formation will continue to rotate for a while, and we'll be teleported soon. The pressure of teleportation using the Ancient Immortal Formation is extremely high, so you need to use your Immortal Armor and Divine Armor for protection." He was mainly reminding Li Qiang and Chiming, as it was their first time experiencing teleportation using the Ancient Immortal Formation.
A tremendous force surged from the inside out, and large plumes of dust could be seen shooting outwards. Each layer of giant stones began to move around the center. Gradually, beams of white light lit up from the inner stone rings and then extended to the outer rings. The dazzling white light grew brighter and brighter. Suddenly, all the giant stones seemed to turn into transparent glass, and the view of space outside was clearly revealed.
The surrounding scenery suddenly began to change, and Li Qiang felt an immense pressure pressing down on him. Instantly, everyone was enveloped in a dazzling golden light.
Only then did Li Qiang realize that cultivators could not possibly use Ancient Immortal Formation. This immense pressure and tearing force could completely pulverize a cultivator; without the protection of immortal or divine armor, it would be a certain death.
After an unknown amount of time, the surrounding scenery suddenly froze, and they found themselves in another Ancient Immortal Formation. If it weren't for the different scenery, Li Qiang would have thought they had never moved at all. He asked, "Is this another Ancient Immortal Formation?"
Qian Shanyong nodded and said, "That's right. Ancient Immortal Formation are all for teleportation over extremely long distances. Without this teleportation array, it would be even more difficult to get to Xinbo Cape, because it's just too far away. There are almost no cultivators here, only a few reclusive ancient immortals, and they are the truly powerful ones."
The more places Li Qiang traveled, the more doubts he had. He asked, "Do you all know how big this realm is?" Upon hearing this, even Chiming laughed.
Qian Shanyong said, "How big is this realm? Nobody knows. This realm is the largest; it has no end. Why are you asking this?"
Chiming laughed, "Even in the Black Devil Realm, I've never found the end. And this realm is the largest. Big brother, you wouldn't be thinking of going to the ends of the earth for a bit of fun, would you? Haha."
Li Qiang shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I was just curious. By the way, Old Qian, where is this place?"
He probed the Star-Fixing Disc with his Divine Sense and found that he had already passed through the Flame Galaxy. This was an unfamiliar place, and the records in the Star-Fixing Disc were significantly fewer.
Seeing Li Qiang examining the Star-Fixing Disc, Xuan Long reached out to take it from him, casually took his own Star-Fixing Disc, closed his eyes briefly, and then returned Star-Fixing Disc to Li Qiang, saying, "Brother, take another look."
Li Qiang used his Divine Sense to investigate and was pleasantly surprised to find that many new star fields had appeared in this area. He knew that this was new content that Xuan Long had helped him cultivate into, and he couldn't help but thank him repeatedly. With the star map of this place, at least he wouldn't get lost.
Li Qiang's biggest fear is getting lost in the vast universe, like being in a desert trying to find another grain of sand from the location of one grain—a hopeless endeavor.
Xuan Long said, "We're flying to Tanshao Planet now. Be careful on the way; there's a large, Warm Wind Belt here, which can be quite troublesome. I have some star sand here; let's cultivate together. It can help find people if we get lost."
He took out dozens of grains of star sand that had already been refined and gave nine grains to each person.
Each grain of stardust was the size of a sparrow's egg, emitting a blue halo. Li Qiang also possessed such things, which he collected and cultivated in the asteroid belt on his way back from Linming Planet.
Stardust is a material used for refining artifacts. The cultivation that Xuan Long mentioned involves everyone inscribing specific formations. Once the stardust is released, others can follow the path of the stardust to find the lost person. This is the simplest and most effective way to find people.
The method of cultivating star sand is very simple. Before long, everyone finished cultivating, exchanged their sands, and cultivated again. Each person cultivated five times. In this way, no matter who sends out the star sand, the other four can find him immediately.
The Warm Wind Belt are a hurdle they must overcome.
Li Qiang had witnessed the Swift Boiling Current before, and he had seen the Warm Wind Belt from afar when he passed by it on his way to the Illusory Star Divine Formation. This time, the Gentle Warm Wind Belt was completely different. The entire starry sky seemed to be divided into two halves by the Warm Wind Belt, and the edges could not be seen at all.
The term "gentle breeze" is a term used by immortals. Li Qiang didn't know what the gentle breeze was made of, but he knew it must be very powerful, like the Swift Boiling Current, which left a deep impression on him.
Qian Shanyong, Xuan Long, and Dainan Fengyu seemed a little afraid of the Warm Wind Belt, and they looked at the spectacle in front of them very seriously.
The Warm Wind Belt looked like a semi-transparent plastic sheet, with starlight faintly filtering through. It was impossible to tell where the breeze originated or where it ended.
Interestingly, the Warm Wind Belt flowed within a fixed space without affecting the outside space at all; at least Li Qiang didn't feel any gentle breeze coming towards him.
Qian Shanyong sighed, "This is the largest Warm Wind Belt I've ever seen. There's no way to get around it; we have to get through it. If I hadn't obtained the Wrath of the Heavenly God, I'm afraid crossing this Warm Wind Belt would have been exhausting."
Xuan Long raised an eyebrow; he hadn't expected the Wrath of the Heavenly God to fall into Qian Shanyong.
Li Qiang thought of a question and asked, "Brother Xuan Long, when you escaped from Xinbo Cape, there were so many obstacles, and Xinbo Cape is so far from Sealed Fate Planet, how did you manage to escape?"
Xuan Long smiled wryly, "I have the Radiant Star Radiance, otherwise how could I have escaped?"
Qian Shanyong shook his arms, and a huge ball of light appeared in front of him.
Chiming exclaimed, " Old Qian is amazing! He's mastered the divine artifact so quickly!"
Qian Shanyong shouted, "Go!" The ball of light paused slightly in front of him, then rushed into the Warm Wind Belt as fast as a shooting star.
Everyone tensed up simultaneously. Li Qiang not only activated the protective power of the Evolving Incantation Divine Armor, but also transformed the Ninefold Evolving Gilt into a golden light to protect himself.
The ball of light disappeared without a trace after entering the Warm Wind Belt, leaving no indication that anything had ever entered.
Qian Shanyong shouted, "Everyone, stay close to me! Don't get separated, or you'll be in big trouble if you fall into the Warm Wind Belt!"
He suddenly unleashed a golden light, Warm Wind Belt seemed to respond, its surface rippling outwards in concentric circles.
The surface of the humid wind was like boiling water, with countless huge bubbles rising to the surface. As the number of bubbles increased, Qian Shanyong, like a golden shooting star, suddenly flew towards the surface of the humid wind.
Seeing Qian Shanyong fly away, Li Qiang and the others immediately followed closely.
The surface of the humid wind suddenly exploded. Li Qiang followed closely behind Qian Shanyong. He was most afraid of this kind of natural force. He would never provoke the Warm Wind Belt unless absolutely necessary. With Qian Shanyong leading the way, he only needed to follow closely.
Li Qiang looked back and saw Dainan Fengyu and Chiming following closely behind him, with Xuan Long bringing up the rear. Everyone was flying very cautiously, and even Chiming didn't dare to be arrogant anymore.
The gust of wind surged out like a volcanic eruption, and in an instant, the enormous force rushed toward the five people.
A huge, cone-shaped golden light appeared in front of Qian Shanyong; it was the phantom of his Wrath of the Heavenly God. Li Qiang nimbly flew less than a meter behind him, and the five of them linked together were like a sharp arrow, piercing fiercely into the humid wind.
The once calm Warm Wind Belt was stirred up by the five people. The translucent humid wind suddenly turned into a deep blue torrent. The five people moved with difficulty in the humid wind by relying on Qian Shanyong's Wrath of the Heavenly God.
Comparatively speaking, Xuan Long is under the greatest pressure. He has no divine artifact to rely on and has to rely entirely on his profound internal strength to support himself.
Li Qiang felt the least pressured; he was right next to Qian Shanyong, while the majority of the pressure rested on Qian Shanyong.
The five had already ventured deep inside. The surrounding wind emitted terrifying vibrations, and countless bubbles burst around them, causing them to sway violently, as if they were on a raging sea, being constantly battered by giant Bobo.
The Wrath of the Heavenly God emitted a dazzling golden light, repelling the shockwaves.
Qian Shanyong's use of the divine weapon was extremely precise, with not a single bit wasted, and his control of the balance impressed Li Qiang greatly.
Suddenly, Chiming transmitted his voice, " Xuan Long seems to be unable to hold on, Big Brother, should we help him?"
Li Qiang turned around and saw that Xuan Long looked somewhat disheveled. He quickly sent a telepathic message to Xuan Long: "Brother, speed up and catch up, I'll take over for you!"
He then transmitted his voice to Chiming, saying, "Hold on for Brother Xuan Long, I'm coming!" His movements suddenly slowed down.
Dainan Fengyu glanced at Li Qiang with a puzzled look, then quickly filled in for Li Qiang. The five of them were linked together; if one of them fell behind, it would immediately affect the others. Dainan Fengyu's quick thinking in filling Li Qiang's spot prevented a major problem.
Chiming swung his All-Heaven Divine Staff backward, sending several circles of colorful star-like flowers flying backward, past Xuan Long, and crashing into the surging breeze behind him.
Qian Shanyong secretly groaned. He distracted himself and transmitted his voice, "Do you guys have a death wish? Don't move around here. Everyone, quickly stick together!"
But he realized it was too late. The gust of wind was like a raging giant, and seven or eight huge bubbles suddenly burst open. Li Qiang happened to land outside. The golden light of the Ninefold Evolving Gilt Sword only had time to wrap around his body before he was thrown into the gust of wind. What was terrifying was that no one noticed him falling into the gust of wind.
Li Qiang watched Qian Shanyong as Qian Shanyong and the other two disappeared into the gentle breeze. He felt like a leaf in a rapid current, helplessly tossed and turned. He barely managed to use the Ninefold Evolving Gilt to stabilize himself, and he was truly on the verge of tears.
This place is so disorienting that if you get the impact point wrong, it's quite normal to get stuck and die in the Warm Wind Belt.
The gentle breeze is a peculiar substance; if left undisturbed, it causes no harm, but once stirred, its power is truly terrifying.
Li Qiang felt immense pressure around him, and the violent tremors made it impossible for him to stop moving; he could only keep rushing forward. The surrounding blue exuded a chilling aura, its color changing from dark blue to light blue, occasionally shimmering with silver light.
Fortunately, Li Qiang had the Evolving Incantation Divine Armor and the Ninefold Evolving Gilt; otherwise, he would have been unable to move an inch in the humid breeze.
With the power of the divine artifact, Li Qiang struggled to fly forward, but he didn't know if he was flying in the right direction.
After flying for a while, Li Qiang felt increasingly uneasy. He didn't dare to stop, so he gritted his teeth and threw out a grain of stardust.
A flash of Blue Light appeared, and the stardust transformed into a foot-long needle, swiftly piercing upwards and to the left.
Li Qiang was overjoyed, knowing that Qian Shanyong should be in that direction, and he flew there without hesitation.
The wind grew darker, and the surroundings darkened. The Evolving Incantation Divine Armor of Li Qiang also changed. The faintly visible incantation patterns on the armor became brighter and brighter, flowing rapidly across the surface. The immense pressure of the wind forced the Evolving Incantation Divine Armor to generate an automatic counterforce. The Ninefold Evolving Gilt seemed to react to these flowing incantations. The two worked together, and Li Qiang suddenly felt completely relaxed.
One after another, the incantations transformed into faint golden light and surged out, resisting the unparalleled pressure Warm Wind Belt. The Ninefold Evolving Gilt Flow in front of him transformed into a sharp golden light, breaking through the obstruction of the smoky wind.
Li Qiang was secretly delighted. He hadn't expected the Evolving Incantation Divine Armor to be so miraculous. Suddenly, he felt that Xunfeng wasn't so scary anymore, and he calmed down to look for Qian Shanyong and the others.
After flying for a while longer, the wind became even more violent, and Li Qiang began to worry. Although he was protected by the divine artifact and armor, he felt uneasy because he couldn't find Qian Shanyong and the others for so long. If they were trapped in the wind and couldn't get out, it would be troublesome.
Li Qiang focused his inner energy, and two golden beams suddenly shot out. After scanning around, Li Qiang was even more shocked. He couldn't see through Xunfeng at all, and he discovered strange shadows moving in Xunfeng, like living things. He was sure that it wasn't Qian Shanyong and his group.
The presence of living things in the gentle breeze shocked Li Qiang. He knew that anything that could survive in the gentle breeze must be something to be feared.
He felt himself becoming more and more cautious. As his knowledge increased, so did his fear of the unknown, unlike when he first started out, when he was fearless and rarely had anything that truly frightened him.
Li Qiang carefully avoided the moving phantom, constantly reminding himself, "Curiosity can kill you. Let's not look at that thing, let's not look!"
He muttered to himself and continued wandering around, and soon he realized he was lost again.
Li Qiang looked around, trying to find the right direction.
Even while searching for the right direction, he couldn't stop; he had to keep moving forward, which gave him a real headache.
He considered it and concluded that the stardust was not very effective in the gentle breeze because it could not stay still and had to keep moving. After releasing the stardust, its actual position had already changed, so the stardust was useless.
Surrounded by the gentle breeze and only the expanding bubbles, Li Qiang couldn't find any landmarks. He smiled bitterly to himself. He should have asked Qian Shanyong how to find his way before entering the Warm Wind Belt. Now he could only rely on himself and guesswork to move forward.
Gradually, Li Qiang realized that he had entered an unfamiliar, breezy place, different from the place before. It seemed darker here. Before, it felt like he was in a river, but now it felt like he was in the sea.
After struggling for a long time in the warm wind, Li Qiang made considerable progress. He became more and more proficient in using the Ninefold Evolving Gilt Flowing, and gradually mastered the method of precisely controlling his strength.
In the gentle breeze, most cultivation Law Treasure are unusable; only immortal artifacts and divine artifacts are usable. The power of immortal artifacts is difficult to unleash due to the influence of the breeze, while only divine artifacts can be used at will.
Unable to find a way out, Li Qiang, in his desperation, discovered that the Gentle Breeze was a good place to learn how to control the Ninefold Evolving Gilt. As he explored forward, he took the opportunity to practice the control methods of the Ninefold Evolving Gilt.
With increasing proficiency in using the Ninefold Evolving Gilt, Li Qiang soon gained freedom of movement in the gentle breeze, having largely shaken off its pressure. However, he had yet to find a way out.
Suddenly, Li Qiang realized he had stumbled into a group of swimming creatures. They were very strange creatures, and Li Qiang didn't know what they were. He could vaguely see their slender bodies, like ropes, and their bodies shimmered with a pale blue phosphorescence.
After Li Qiang rushed in, the strange creatures immediately surrounded him. The moment they touched the Ninefold Evolving Gilt, they were pulverized. The power of the divine artifact was something these creatures could not withstand.
As if startled, the rope-like creatures suddenly scattered.
Li Qiang muttered to himself, "This thing looks like a bunch of snakes." He saw wisps of silver thread flowing from the broken pieces of the strange snake, quickly dissipating in the warm breeze. He thought, "That must be the blood of the strange snake."
Every now and then, strange snakes would collide with the golden light of the Ninefold Evolving Gilt Flowing Sword and be immediately torn apart. Li Qiang found it strange; these strange snakes were really stupid, still trying to crash into it even after so many had died.
He didn't notice that countless silver threads shimmered in the breeze behind him—the blood left by the strange snake.
About ten minutes later, Li Qiang felt a growing unease. It was an intuition; he sensed that something was wrong, but he couldn't pinpoint the reason.
Suddenly, Li Qiang felt a huge force pushing up from behind. He turned his head and saw a silver monster chasing after him.
His first impression was that this thing wasn't very big, it seemed to have many tentacles, countless tiny patterns on its body, a bright silver back, and he couldn't tell where its head was.
A chill ran down Li Qiang's spine. Startled, he immediately turned and went to meet them. He knew this was not a place to run away.
The silver monster was clearly attracted by the snake's blood. Unable to stop, Li Qiang could only circle around, stirring up the surrounding breeze and suddenly increasing the pressure.
As the monster arrived, the monstrous snakes that had been circling around it quickly retreated, leaving only flashes of silver lines before vanishing without a trace.
Li Qiang couldn't stop smiling. He finally understood the purpose of those strange snakes. Their suicide was just to lure this silver monster over. However, he had great confidence in the Ninefold Evolving Gilt. He had never seen any monster that could resist a divine artifact.
With a casual wave of his hand, a golden beam pierced through the gentle breeze and struck the monster head-on.
The silver monster nimbly dodged, then fired a silver bead from the side.
Li Qiang nonchalantly flicked the Ninefold Evolving Gilt -Ninefold Evolving Gilt Bead at it, but before it even touched the bead, it exploded, a ring of silver light flashed, and the power of the gust of wind suddenly increased.
Li Qiang immediately understood; this was an attack using the power of the wind generated by the light pearl. He couldn't help but secretly admire the beast's cleverness.
The wind trembled violently, and the terrifying pressure and shock made it impossible for Li Qiang to maintain his balance.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the silver monster shot out another bead, this time aimed directly in front of Li Qiang's flight path. Before Li Qiang could change direction, the bead exploded again.
Having been tricked by this strange beast and unable to find a way out for a long time, Li Qiang's anger exploded.
Li Qiang has never been able to enter the state of " Heart of Madness." Although he has had crazy thoughts before, he has never experienced true madness. He tries to drive himself crazy by using this anger.
Li Qiang charged straight at the silver monster. The Ninefold Evolving Gilt Flowing Sword emitted a dazzling golden light. He ignored the shock and pressure from the humid wind and was determined to catch up with this strange creature.
The silver monster seemed to know that Li Qiang was not someone to be trifled with, so it turned around and fled forward at top speed.
Li Qiang was so angry that he didn't care about the dangers ahead. He urged the Ninefold Evolving Gilt Flow to break through the gentle breeze and chase after them. Soon, the beast and the man disappeared into the vast gentle breeze.
Qian Shanyong successfully crossed the Warm Wind Belt, but they were dumbfounded when they emerged – Li Qiang hadn't followed them.
Qian Shanyong asked, "Where did Brother Li go?"
He was leading the way the whole time and had no time to look back. Dainan Fengyu followed closely behind without noticing, and Chiming was busy taking care of Xuan Long and barely managed to keep up. Neither of them noticed Li Qiang's disappearance.
After a moment of stunned silence, Chiming exclaimed, "Huh? I thought Big Brother was up ahead..."
Dainan Fengyu said, "I remember he went to the back. Didn't he follow behind?"
Qian Shanyong waved his hand and said, "With Brother Li's strength, as long as he's heading in the right direction, breaking out shouldn't be a problem. The only concern is that he might lose his composure and run around recklessly in the Xunfeng. If he provokes the monsters in the Xunfeng, things will get complicated. I think we should all wait here for a while. If things really don't work out, we'll think of another way."
A beam of Blue Light pierced through the gentle breeze and flew out. Xuan Long said, "Brother's star sand! Strange, why didn't it come out with him?"
Qian Shanyong, "Whatever you do, don't go into the Xunfeng Bubble Eye. Once you're inside, it'll be hard to get out... Maybe he can escape using the power of the divine artifact, but..."
Chiming asked urgently, "But what?"
Xuan Long tilted his head to look at the Warm Wind Belt behind him and said, "We must go back to find him."
Qian Shanyong shook his head and said, "No!"
