annot obtain a body smoothly, even if I manage to survive the next celestial calamity, my strength will be greatly diminished.”"Could even seniors within this space be affected by that tribulation" Lu...Lu Xia Tian nodded to Yunxia Fairy and the others, indicating that they should take care. Whether it was Lin Fang or Banhui Lama and his disciples who informed Yunxia Fairy, in the end, it was Yunxia Fairy who invited Xinhong. This favor couldn't be avoided. Otherwise, he would be in for a tough time if Zhao Qifeng got his hands on him. Going to the Nether Swamp also meant facing more variables.
With the Flame Spirit Page already integrated into his body, Lu Xia Tian didn't want to take any more risks. Coming to Yu Meng Swamp with Xin Hong and the others was also a last resort.
“Take care, fellow cultivator from the East.” Yunxia Fairy smiled. The other party seemed to accept her affections well enough. Regardless of Lu Xia Tian’s current display of power or his skill in alchemy, he would be of great help to her in the future.
Far away, the mist was like a monstrous beast with no visible edges, its huge mouth swallowing the group of four people whole.
"The power of the Immortals is insufficient to withstand the illusions in this place. Fellow Daoist Dongfang, please hold your breath and focus your energy. The three of us will take turns clearing the path and must find the Dream-Wishing Stone before any other True Immortals."
Having said that, Zhao Qifeng stretched out his palm and with a flick, a green jade bead flew from his hand. Inside the green jade bead, it seemed there were countless images swirling. It flew to the empty space and spun around, its crystal light flowing out from within the bead. In a moment, it enveloped an area of several miles. The surrounding mist continuously surged towards it, but it seemed that the green jade bead had endless space, constantly sucking the mist into itself without any change in appearance.
Even though Lu Xia Tian's primordial spirit strength was still considerably higher than the three immortals, he remained calm in their presence. A thick fog surrounded them, and the three immortals effortlessly deflected the phantasmagorical attacks constantly generated from within the mist. Lu Xia Tian focused on cultivating the Dragon Pearls one by one while secretly refining the flames within his body.
Everything was proceeding as planned at first. Zhao Qifeng, Xu Suqin, and even Xin Hong from Yunxia Xianzong were all quite confident about finding the Yumo 奇石 this time. However, as time went on, they began to realize that something was amiss.
Several people wandered in the mist for days, but they seemed to be circling back to the same place.
“Something’s not right here. The celestial plants on the ground and all these rocks seem to be the same as they were days ago. Could it be that we’ve been circling in place for the past few days” Xinhong cast a suspicious glance at Zhao Qifeng and Xu Suqin. If it weren’t for Lu Xiaottian being present, she would have suspected that the two of them might be playing tricks.
“It is rather strange. I was here with Daoist Zhao not long ago, just under a year. Yet, it looks completely different now.” Xu Suqin’s brows furrowed at this point, clearly also unable to comprehend the sudden changes before them.
"That is to say, we several true immortals have unknowingly lost our direction in this mist," Xinhong said with a rather unpleasant expression. Her mood was not good, of course, partly due to Xu Suqin and Zhao Qifeng, but more importantly because of the surprise within her own heart. Her strength was considerably greater than Xu Suqin and Zhao Qifeng's, yet she hadn't noticed anything unusual, how could this not alarm her"
“We might have encountered the illusionary palace of the Fuxian Formation in this Marsh of Desires.” Zhao Qifeng seemed to remember something, and his face changed drastically.

“Phantom Mist Labyrinth Immortal Sealing Array Do you know the origins of this array” Xinhong asked.
"It's just a rumor, but it is said that a powerful celestial being from the Heavenly Court and a skilled demon named Wù Yǐn Shen Tóng (Mist Hidden Divine Ability) fought in a great war within the Immortal Realm. The battle caused vast amounts of land to shatter. That demon was ultimately cornered on the ground of our Immortal Realm, besieged by the celestial being of the Heavenly Court and a host of immortal soldiers and generals. In the end, it met its demise. It is said that it transformed into countless mists that scattered throughout the Immortal Realm. There are also rumors that it escaped through another secret passage in the Immortal Realm. No one knows for sure what truly happened, but traces of the demon's battle with the celestial messengers from the Heavenly Court remain. Many demon arrays were set up by the demon, and some accounts even suggest it ambushed and killed other immortal soldiers and generals."
Zhao Qifeng took a deep breath and said, "That level of magical battle is said to be the clash between celestial fairies and even great Luo Jinxian. Even if the sea changes and the mulberry fields change, with the passage of time, some of their methods may not disappear, but continue to exist in certain forms. Even some immortal formations and demonic formations have undergone many changes, becoming more bizarre and more difficult to fathom."
“Zhao Daoist seems to know quite a bit, but knowing this situation, you still brought me here. Zhao Daoist, your courage is a bit too much.” Xinhong snorted coldly.
"Xinhong, you are mistaken. If we had known this beforehand, who would have willingly risked their life" Xu Suqin was displeased with Xinhong's attitude. Although Xinhong was powerful, facing her and Zhao Qifeng together, she wouldn't necessarily gain any advantage.

"It's pointless to argue now. Daoist Xinhong, are you skilled in the art of formations" Zhao Qifeng asked.
“As for formations, I do have some understanding, but the formation here is extraordinary, far beyond my capabilities.” Xin Hong shook her head.
“We both have a certain understanding of formations, but this labyrinth isn’t something either of us is particularly skilled at. It seems we can only take it one step at a time.” Both Zhao Qifeng and Xu Suqin were momentarily stumped.
"If a few fellow cultivators can't manage it right away, perhaps I could give it a try." Lu Xia Tian, who had been cultivating silently by the side, suddenly spoke.
“Can you break the formation” Xin Hong, Xu Suqin, and Zhao Qifeng all looked at Lu Xiaodao.
"I can't give you a definitive answer until it's cracked. All I can say is that we might as well give it a shot if there's nothing else we can do." Lu Xia Tian naturally wouldn't definitively rule out the possibility.
"Alright, esteemed Daoist Dongfang, what strategy do you have to crack this Please enlighten us. After the matter is resolved, the benefits will naturally not be lacking for Daoist Dongfang." Xinhong nodded.

“I have studied the Illusionary Dao Formation for some time, but my cultivation level is not as high as several fellow Daoists. I have only reached the True Immortal realm. Deduction of such formations consumes a great deal of soul essence and requires special pills to replenish the expenditure. These materials cost me a lot of money to buy. If you three want me to break the formation, you need to pay a certain fee beforehand and hand over your immortal crystals.”
Lu Xia Tian naturally wouldn't be a fool to do things for nothing. Before taking action, he first put forward conditions. The fairy crystals consumed by Lu Xia Tian's original cultivation of the Dragon Orb were beyond his expectations. Not wanting the progress of his cultivation to be delayed, Lu Xia Tian naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to squeeze these three true immortals dry.
“If Fellow Daoist Dongfang's methods are effective, paying some Xianjing is naturally not a problem.” Zhao Qifeng felt a little unconvinced in his heart. He didn't really believe that these three True Immortals couldn't handle the situation for a while, and what good means could this Lu Xiaitian have
