The first Formation they arrived at was the one with the black Formation Patterns.
This Formation differed from the ones they had encountered before; the Five Elements Power within had already fused together, presenting a five-colored radiance that permeated the entire Formation.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Above the Formation were densely packed, black wave-like Formation Patterns.
Approaching the Formation, Xue Yilin spoke directly to the group:
âFellow Daoists, this Formation is the Five Elements Water Formation, linked to the Water Hall. Inside, there is also a Teleportation Array. As long as we break this Formation, weâll be able to enter it through the Teleportation Array.â
âFurthermore, this Formation is different from those weâve broken before. The power of the Five Elements inside is formidable, which is why weâre presently safe within this Formation.â
âIn a moment, the five of us will need to break the external Five Elements Water Formation first. Then, weâll set up a Restraining Formation to contain the Five Elements Power inside.â
âAfter thatâ¦â
âIt will be up to Lin Daoyou to use the Five Elements Cultivation Technique to control that Five Elements Power and transfer it out.â

âThis process may be somewhat cumbersome, so I hope my fellow Daoists will be cautious to prevent any mistakes.â
After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Then, Xue Yilin turned to Lin Jing and said:
âLin Daoyou, once we open the Formation, Iâll trouble you to transfer the Five Elements Power from within the Five Elements Water Formation. Youâll only need to move it outside the Formation.â
âOnce drawn out, this Five Elements Power will dissipate on its own.â
Lin Jing nodded in response.
The group then began to take action.
Xue Yilin and the others, one at each position, started to deploy their methods to break the Formation.
It wasnât easy to break this Formation.
It took them several hours just to dim the Formation slightly.
Throughout this time, Lin Jing observed the others.
He noticed that aside from Xue Yilin and the cultivator who had been previously attacked, the others struggled considerably.
Only those two seemed more at ease.
It seemed that their understanding of Formations was likely higher, which was why they appeared so.
Especially that attacked cultivator, who possessed a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, it was no wonder he managed to easily resolve the attacking puppet earlier.
Several more hours passed, and the Formation Patterns on the Formation dimmed, flickering on and off, and the whole Formation seemed on the verge of being broken.
At this time, the Five Elements Power within the Formation roiled, trying to merge with the Formation. However, they were restrained by a small Formation set up jointly by the group, and like trapped beasts, they were unable to effect anything.
Just then, Xue Yilin spoke to Lin Jing:
âLin Daoyou, get ready, itâs time for you to act.â
Lin Jing nodded and prepared himself.
Sure enough, before longâ¦
The external layer of the Formation was broken and vanished, and the Five Elements Power within the Formation became even more turbulent, causing the Formation that the group had set up to shake incessantly.
Xue Yilin and the others quickly performed hand seals to stabilize the Formation again.
At that moment, Lin Jing made his move.
He employed the Five Elements Divine Art, attempting to control the Five Elements Power within the Formation.
However, after trying for a while, Lin Jing found it was not easy to control these forces. He couldnât even quell the Five Elements Power within the Formation slightly.
Lin Jing furrowed his brow, then, he channeled the Five Elements Divine Art, condensing a stream of WÇ CÇi radiance that plunged into the Formation.
With the entry of the WÇ CÇi radiance, Lin Jingâs perception of the Five Elements Power inside became even clearer.
Lin Jing could distinctly feel the ferocious aura within; the Five Elements Power was incredibly potent, and if it was allowed to burst forth, the entire plaza would likely be destroyed.
Beyond the ferocious aura, Lin Jing also distinctly felt that this Five Elements Power didnât seem to be directly drawn from the natural Five Elements Power of heaven and earth.
It seemed as though it had been cultivated by someone before being condensed into being.
Lin Jing clearly sensed that although he could quell the Five Elements Power within the formation by using the Five Elements Divine Art,
it was extremely draining.
He feared that if he were to draw out all the Five Elements Power, he would likely collapse on the spot, utterly defenseless for the taking.
Given his current predicament, if he were to expend himself without reserve, leaving no energy to resist,
he might not only gain no advantage but could also potentially plunge himself into real danger.
That would not be a wise move.
If he did nothing, however, the island masters of the three large islands behind him would not let him off.
Lin Jing looked at the Five Elements Power within the formation.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mindâ¦
Why not try using the Immortal Five Elements Technique?
If the Five Elements Power within the formation had indeed been cultivated by someone, then using the Immortal Five Elements Technique could likely establish some sort of connection with it and bring it under better control.
And for him, it would be much easier,
so that after transferring out this Five Elements Power, he wouldnât be depleted of Spiritual Power, leaving him without any strength to resist.
However, when operating the Immortal Five Elements Technique, he had to be careful not to be noticed by others.
Especially Bai Yi and Xue Yilin.
For safetyâs sake, Lin Jingzhi had not previously revealed that he cultivated the Immortal Five Elements Technique.
So they had always been unaware.
Now that he wanted to use it, he had to be cautious and it would be best to conceal it somehow.
As for concealing, he cultivated the Changyun Hidden Technique, so even Xue Yilin, let alone Bai Yi, couldnât detect his true cultivation levelâthere shouldnât be any major issue.
â¦â¦
While Lin Jing was hesitating,
Xue Yilin noticed Lin Jingâs odd behavior and asked,
âLin Daoyou, whatâs wrong?â
âIs there a problem?â
While Lin Jing was using the Five Elements Divine Art to control the Wu Cai flowing lights and trying to merge into the Five Elements Power of the formation, he replied,
âThis Five Elements Power is quite difficult to controlâ¦â
Following that, Xue Yilin spoke to Lin Jing,
âHmm, this formation is the final defense of the side hall, and it is indeed not easy, Lin Daoyou, take your time, there is no need to rushâ¦â
Not only Lin Jing but also the others furrowed their brows at Xue Yilinâs words.
After all, maintaining the formation was not easy for them either.
Lin Jing hesitated briefly and then said to the cultivators,
âIâll trouble my fellow Daoists then, I will do my best to transfer these Five Elements Power out as quickly as possible.â
Having said this, Lin Jing fell silent and sat down cross-legged, then he condensed several streams of Wu Cai lights again and merged them into the formation.
At the same time, the aura about Lin Jing grew stronger; he appeared to be making an all-out effort.
At this moment, Lin Jing was using the Wu Cai lights to merge into the Five Elements Power within the formation.
At the same timeâ¦
Lin Jing also quietly started to operate the Immortal Five Elements Technique, attempting to control the Five Elements Power within the formation with it.
