Chapter 479 - Chapter 479: Chapter 176: Meeting (1/2)

chapter 479: chapter 176: meeting

lin jing piloted the flying boat, speeding all the way.

within less than two days, he had returned to the region of the thousand islands domain.

as lin jing approached li yan island on his flying boat, before he even caught sight of it, he sensed that something was amiss.

because…

up to now, lin jing had not seen a single cultivator heading towards li yan island.

ever since li yan fang market’s prosperity, although the vicinity of li yan island was not as bustling with people coming and going incessantly like bihai island,

it was never completely deserted.

sensing this situation, lin jing felt a sense of foreboding, and immediately extended his divine sense towards li yan island…

after advancing to the nascent soul stage, lin jing’s divine sense had been further strengthened, and although he was now merely at the early stages of the nascent soul stage,

his divine sense had already reached the peak of the nascent soul peak stage.

the scope within which the divine sense of the nascent soul peak stage could investigate was dozens of times greater than that during the golden core stage.

if he were on li yan island, with lin jing’s current divine sense, he could easily envelop li yan island and the surrounding sea in it.

at this moment, although he had yet to see it, lin jing was not far from li yan island.

that is why lin jing had extended his divine sense towards li yan island.

as soon as he probed li yan island, lin jing frowned.

for as lin jing used his divine sense to probe li yan island, he discovered that the fifth-rank trap-killing formation designed to protect the island was currently activated.

this fifth-rank trap-killing formation would normally not be activated and would only be triggered when danger was encountered.

activating this formation signified that li yan island was facing an enemy,

and moreover, an enemy that the people of li yan island could not resolve on their own.

……

now that he was very close to li yan island, there was no need to continue piloting the flying boat.

lin jing then directly stored the flying boat and continued flying towards li yan island.

upon arriving outside li yan island, lin jing stood firmly in front of the fifth-rank trap-killing formation.

at this time, the fifth-rank trap-killing formation in front of him was activated, and the entire array was shrouded in a dense white fog, shielding any sight of what lay within.

even divine sense could not penetrate it.

you must understand, this was a fifth-rank trap-killing formation that could even block a divinity transformation cultivator for a time.

let alone lin jing.

if lin jing rashly barged in, he might immediately become ensnared by the formation.

however, lin jing did not need to force his way through the formation.

he could control it.

after holaw three rivers completed the arrangement of the formation, he gave lin jing several array plates used to control the entire formation

as well as the corresponding control incantation.

apart from the master control plate lin jing had on him, he had also handed out two auxiliary control plates.

these two auxiliary control plates were given to yue qi’s mother and li qingqing.

similarly, lin jing taught them the incantations needed to control the array plates.

normally, there was no difference between the master control plate and the auxiliary control plates, as both could control the formation.

however, commands issued from the master control plate superseded those from the auxiliary control plates.

just like now.

the fifth-rank trap-killing formation had been closed and controlled by the auxiliary control plates in the hands of li qingqing or yue qi’s mother.

lin jing could open it using the master control plate.

but if the situation were reversed, lin jing would not be able to open the formation and enter li yan island.

this was, in fact, a special safety measure set up by holaw three rivers to prevent others with ulterior motives from obtaining the array plates and incantation.

……

lin jing then took out the master array plate from his space ring, holding it in his hand.

the array plate was not large, only about the size of a palm.

at this time, before activation, it looked like a round copper piece engraved with countless fine lines.

those fine lines were actually formation patterns.

lin jing held the array plate and then started to channel spiritual power into it.

as lin jing input his spiritual power, the array plate slowly lit up with white light, enveloping it completely.

subsequently, his lips moved slightly as he recited the incantation.

the formation patterns on the array plate also started to activate, lighting up.

after a moment, the array plate was fully activated, and an image of an active fifth-rank trap-killing formation appeared on it.

then, lin jing began to control the array plate, manipulating the trap-killing formation, and started to slowly open it…

as lin jing operated the array plate in his hand, the trap-killing formation protecting li yan island in front of him also started to glow with formation patterns, gradually changing.

until after a while, the white fog within the trap-killing formation began to slowly disperse.
