Chapter 664 Cultivation of Celestial Form with The Yellow River of Nine Provinces (1/2)
Both of them arrived on a foggy sea promptly. Though millions of waves rolled in and out, there were no living things present here. This place was engulfed in a deathlike silence.
Jing Shu identified a direction and said, ”Continue ahead for a thousand feet.”
Shen Lian adhered to her instructions. However, when they have reached the spot which was a thousand feet away, Jing Shu seemed rather perplexed. She mentioned, ”This is not right, head a hundred feet backward.”
Shen Lian was not shaken by the changes and moved five hundred feet backward.
Jing Shu said, ”This is still not right. How about trying to turn left for about three feet?”
Shen Lian did not move this time around, he looked towards the front and said, ”Do not try anymore.”
Suddenly, the mist started to emerge on the expansive sea. Both of them were engulfed by it unknowingly. Jing Shu was stunned and blurted, ”Yellow River of nine provinces Formation.”
Shen Lian replied plainly, ”This is not the complete Yellow River of nine provinces Formation.”
At this moment, Shen Lian's divine Qi was completely amassed. All of his Primordial Spirit and mana were concealed within the worldly seed of Ancestral Cavity. Based on his external and internal presentation, he seemed like an ordinary being. It can also be said that he was a strong and built ordinary person.
Nonetheless, Jing Shu did not follow what Shen Lian had done. Thus, when she came into contact with the mist, she groaned in pain. Instantaneously, her mana that was accumulated over thousands of years disappeared swiftly.
Fortunately, the anadem on her head provided some help. It had prevented her Primordial Spirit from damages. The Band-tightening Spell was one indigenous incantation to capture Primordial Spirits. Hence, Jing Shu's Primordial Spirit was well-protected and freed from external interferences despite the deformation of her anadem.
Suddenly, Shen Lian pressed one of his hands on her shoulder. The mist that touched Jing Shu previously was immediately absorbed by Shen Lian's hand. However, Shen Lian's hand turned from white to black.
”The state of void does not emerge over a single thought,” a mellow voice was heard by Jing Shu. It actually sounded like the Resonance of the Great Way. In an instant, Jing Shu was enlightened. She concealed all her mana within the orifices point. As such, the loss of her divine Qi was slowed down immediately.
Jing Shu mentioned hatefully, ”This old demon lady is so vicious.”
It can be said that the Yellow River of nine provinces Formation was a primary demonic formation in the eyes of all cultivators. This formation was based on the Three Spheres. It encompassed profundity of the world; inclusive of Celestial elixir of confusion, Enclosed incantation, God of the loss of celestials, Soul of celestials eradication, Form of celestial trapping, Qi of Damaged celestials, Organic form of the outcasted celestial, body of the Damaged Celestial. While celestials who entered the formation would become mortals, mortals who entered would be dead immediately.
In short, even if you had the greatest supernatural power in the world, once you have entered this formation, your mana would be lost. In addition, souls would be damaged and spirits lost. One would descend into the state of mortality. The collection of cultivation experiences by Qi cultivators was not an easy task. Only with daily determined practice could they amass a good deal of attainment and mana. Nonetheless, were they fall into this formation, they would be harmed. So many years of hard work would vanish into mere dust.
Though Jing Shu had a remarkable origin, it was not easy to have amassed such great mana. If Shen Lian had not lent a helping hand, she would have lost her basic mana. Even thousands of years of practice would not be enough for her to regain her lost mana.
Shen Lian said, ”Let us think of ways to resolve this formation instead. Even though we managed to deceive this formation by concealing our pulses, it would be impossible for us to escape this formation without utilizing supernatural powers and mana.”
Jing Shu replied, ”This formation designed by Empress Yun Xiao was only resolved when the deity bodies of Yuqing and Taiqing descended to provide help. What other solutions do we have? Is inviting these two Daoist Masters the only solution we have?”
Shen Lian said, ”This formation is not fully completed. We still have some available solutions.”
Jing Shu asked curiously, ”With only one glimpse, how did you realize that it is not complete? Although it can be guessed that this old demon lady would not have the ability to lay a complete version of the Yellow River of nine provinces Formation, you clearly did not rely on an instinctive guess.”
Shen Lian stared into the blurry mist and spoke softly, ”If this was the complete Yellow River of nine provinces Formation, it would have followed the rule of circulation, gained the Art of Creation and continued this cycle repetitively. It would not be in such a state where killing vibes thrive gradually within the formation.”
