Chapter 49: The Concealment Array in the Swamp

  。

  Two days later, Tianzhou arrived at this Lin Heng's long-awaited "Xiangyun Town...".

  The women didn't know why he wanted to stop here, but they thought it was his personal business and didn't ask. After staying on the Tianzhou for a whole half month, they were finally able to come out and take a breath of fresh air, and everyone was somewhat excited.

  "Duo Bao Fang" branch is located in the central street of Xiangyun Town, Lin Heng easily found it and handed over the password that he and Mr. He had agreed upon earlier.

  A shopkeeper wearing a fur hat warmly welcomed him to the quiet room on the second floor and handed over a square box: "This is the item that our store has entrusted me to give you, please check it."

  Lin Heng opened the box, and what entered his eyes was a fist-sized fruit with a fiery red surface flowing with layers of energy. On the top and bottom of the fruit, there were two small slanted mouths, as if they had two eyes.

  "This is a Spirit Fruit." Lin Feng smelled the fragrance of the fruit and his mouth began to water.

  Thank you for a few sentences, Lin Heng put "Fen Ling Guo" into space bead.

  The sky is blue with white clouds and clear wind. Lin's mood is greatly refreshed, and he already has five rare materials in his hands. If he's lucky, he might encounter the "Chaotic Cave Mansion" in the "Furnace Hell" and succeed in seizing it, then he'll have found six pieces. It can be said that he's only one step away from transforming into a "Divine Heaven and Earth".

  "Haha, the divine sense of heaven and earth, that's a domineering thing. With this thing, I can be considered a true strongman! Lin Feng is about to charge into the ranks of the strong!"

  After days of trekking and lonely travel, amidst everyone's expectations, Tianzhou entered a vast swamp area.

  The female disciples of Qingyu Xianjing were overjoyed, having traveled thousands of miles for over a month to reach this place. Their goal was the ancient treasure that lay within. Now, as they drew closer to their destination, still far but in sight, they couldn't help but feel extremely excited.

  Lin Xiangzhong covered his ears and did not hear, quietly sitting with his eyes closed.

  After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes, revealing a hint of joy that was hard to conceal.

  Fang Lanlan happened to catch a glimpse, and couldn't help but feel curious. This person had always been stiff-faced, what kind of good news would make him so flustered? She was suspicious, but didn't dare ask.

  Lin Heng's uncontrollable joy originated from the changes in his dantian. After more than a month of continuous nourishment with "Peach Blossom Three Seasons Fragrance", the volume and quality of his dantian had increased by more than half compared to before. Just now, after another brief expansion, he sensed that he should be able to refine three demon pellets at once.

  After the closure, Lin Heng's mid-term cultivation of the fourth rank was consolidated. He practiced the You Shou Dan every day, and this accumulation allowed him to gradually approach the late stage of the fourth rank. If he could increase it to three You Shou Dans in one practice session in the future, his cultivation speed would be even more astonishing.

  It's a bit regrettable that he only has about 30 or 40 of the remaining two-product demon beast inner elixirs left, so he can only continue to refine and take them for more than ten days.

  "Taohua Sanji Xiang" is indeed a rare treasure, and I'll have to find another opportunity to swindle the Jade Carver Fairy for a few more pounds! Thinking back to the day when the Jade Carver Fairy was in so much pain that she looked like she had been cut by a knife, he couldn't help but chuckle. Then he thought about how "Taohua Sanji Xiang" had an effect on his own dantian, but what special use did it have for her?

  Why does she treasure it so much?

  To know that the Jade Fairy spent tens of billions of Yu Jing Shi to acquire the "Fire Crystal Vein" without batting an eye, why is she so particular about "Tao Rui San Ji Xiang"?

  As they entered the swampy area, the number of people they met on the road increased. Later on, almost every few miles, they could see several airboats rushing inside with treasure hunters.

  That evening, Tianzhou finally arrived at its destination: a mountain ridge closest to the "Furnace Hell".

  Lin Heng looked out from the high sky boat, but all he saw below was a vast expanse of bare black mountains. Between the mountains and at their feet were patches of muddy swamps of unknown depth, where small beasts occasionally poked their heads out before quickly retreating back into the mud.

  The camps set up by the warriors who arrived earlier almost filled half of the mountain ridge.

  "Qing Yu Xian Jing" had already made contact with the elder and several disciples who were gathering intelligence, and they all converged on a bald mountain in the west.

  Fang Lanlan and Yan Ruyan listened to their report on the latest situation, finally changing from their usual relaxed demeanor to a serious and solemn expression. "...the Xuantian Sect, Hei Cang Forbidden Sect, and some external forces have already arrived early. In these few days, that area has been continuously emitting black energy, according to my inference, in at most ten days' time, the Furnace Hell will be opened. I'm worried you won't make it."

  Fang Lanlan comforted them with a few words, then said: "As time draws near, the number of people is increasing, and the danger we face is also getting bigger. Tell the other sisters to be careful."

  "Hmm, these past few days there have been people fighting over the position of the campsite. We're closest to the central area here, so many people had their eyes on it, but I scared them all off."

  Lin Hang entered his barracks and fell onto the bed with all fours, sleeping soundly.

  The long journey was exhausting, both physically and mentally. When he came to, the stars were twinkling in the sky.

  Take advantage of the leisure time to go and take a look at the situation in that smelting furnace hell.

  He had just come out of the account, and immediately bumped into Fang Lanlan who was coming from the opposite direction. She seemed to have guessed Lin's purpose and said: "Young Master Lin is going to the Furnace Hell? May I accompany you?"

  "Don't worry, I've got your stuff, and I definitely won't sneak in alone." Lin Yang urged the Nine Scrolls of Chasing Clouds to head towards the "Melting Furnace Hell" in the east.

  Fang Lanlan was not embarrassed, and when she saw Lin Hong, she did not refuse. She also flew over to take care of him in mid-air.

  The Furnace Hell is still over 50 miles away, but going further in are endless black swamps with no place to land, so the camp can only be stationed on these mountain ridges. The 50-mile journey will take just one incense stick's worth of time.

  But in the midst of a vast expanse of blackness that seemed to have no end, a gigantic, pot-like circular shadow loomed over the sky, its edges stretching for several square kilometers, casting a dark and endless shade below.

  This is not an energy formation array, but a huge cloud layer. Lin Heng didn't know the reason, but it was clear that this cloud layer was definitely triggered by some kind of power from underground.

  Although "Furnace Hell" was pitch black and nothing could be seen, Lin Hang and Fang Lan, as fourth-grade or higher strongmen, still had the ability to see objects in this dark night.

  Moreover, for a formation of law, spiritual scanning is far more efficient than visual inspection.

  Under the cloud layer, there is still an endless swamp, only this piece of swamp is much shallower than others. Because it can be seen that the water level between the swamps is extremely shallow, the mud in the swamp is more solid than the outside, and occasionally some small grasses that only grow on land are exposed at a small angle.

  Lin Heng stood suspended in mid-air, gently closing his eyes.

  The Dafa is most unique in communicating the energy of heaven and earth, borrowing it for one's own use.

  The magic circle of the Crucible Hell is buried underground, but it will never be isolated from heaven and earth. You can't see it, it's your personal ability problem, not the magic circle's problem.

  Lin Heng's body flashed and entered the bottom of the dark cloud layer, which was also the core area.

  Fang Lanlan hesitated for a moment before immediately following closely behind.

  The deeper they went into the thick black cloud, the greater the pressure it gave them. The range of their vision became narrower and narrower, until finally they could only see a range of twenty to thirty meters.

  Lin Heng shook his head, his expression full of doubt: "Impossible, impossible. This place actually doesn't have any energy at all! How can this be?"

  As long as it is a space of chaos, there must be energy between heaven and earth, only the difference lies in thickness. But here, he couldn't sense even a hint of fluctuation in the energy between heaven and earth. Could this be an outer boundary land? Legend has it that in this world, there exist some spatial fragments that have fallen from other boundaries, forming spaces within boundaries. And these boundary fragments are completely devoid of energy.

  It is unlikely that the land beyond the border would be so closely connected to this vast land as to form an inseparable whole with the entire swamp.

  Fang Lanlan saw him muttering to himself, getting more and more agitated as he walked, and felt a growing sense of tension in her heart.

  After all, this place is really too strange. A strong person like her can't even see objects ten feet away. If she goes further in and can't get out, what's to be done? Moreover, such an environment makes it easiest for people to launch a sneak attack. Who knows if there are any hidden strong people inside?

  She is extremely strange, from the outside it seems that only the top layer of clouds is dark and heavy, while the middle section is just gray and hazy, but why is it pitch black as soon as you enter the middle?

  Lin Heng thought back and forth for two or three hours, then raised his head to Dang Lan and said: "You go back first, I want to stay here for a few more days. Within three days, I will definitely be back."

  Fang Lanlan's lips moved slightly a few times, and finally she nodded and said, "Be careful then."

  The dark space was left with only him, without the existence of Fang Lanlan. He kept sending his divine sense to the bottom of the swamp, but unfortunately, he gained nothing. The swamp below seemed ordinary and didn't react at all.

  He stretched out his hand and took out the last "Zhenyuan Zhentianbao" with a flourish, and his divine sense entered.

  "Hmm, indeed there's a reaction." As he inserted his divine sense into the Soul-Shaking Treasure of Heaven, after a round of probing, he discovered energy fluctuations on the left side.

  He wandered away and found a patch of land about half a meter in size. This piece of land, in the dark and undulating marsh, seemed insignificant.

  If it weren't for the guidance of "Zhen Tian Bao", ordinary people would find it difficult to locate.

  Landed on the ground, both feet landed on solid ground, and then looked around again, still nothing was found.

  Helpless, he had no choice but to temporarily withdraw the Soul-Shaking Heaven Array and sit cross-legged on this small piece of land.

  Area of place, adjust breath and cultivate spirit.

  After a long period of mental probing, he also felt tired.

  After a long time, he faintly heard someone's voice coming: "This place is really strange, I've been searching for nearly half a month and can't find the existence of heaven and earth energy. I really don't understand what kind of formation this is..."

  "Tian Zhui, you're a high-ranking formation master, yet you can't even find the energy of heaven and earth. It's really laughable. Luckily, our Tianmo Valley still had high hopes for you, but it seems we've placed our expectations on the wrong person."

  "This is the ancient predecessor's arranged law array, it's profound and unmatched, how can it be easily broken? I, Tianzi, started learning from my master at the age of eight, and have been studying for over 200 years, but I've only managed to grasp a small part of the law array. To think that there's an ancient law array that I don't recognize, that's only natural."

  "Didn't we pay you a handsome reward for that? No way, our Tianmo Valley isn't foolish enough to suffer such a loss!"

  "Tian Zhu Zi said: 'Young Master, I told your master before that I would only try my best and did not guarantee success...'"

  As Lin was hiding in a low-lying and secluded spot in the marsh, the several people didn't think that someone could be hidden in the marsh and gradually went further and further away.

  It seems that many sects have invited array masters to sit in the array, wanting to break through the defensive grand array and advance as soon as possible.

  Batch after batch of people passed by, and since it was dark inside all day long, Lin Hang relied on his senses to estimate the time.

  Lin Heng finished resting and stretched out his hand to probe the marsh beside him. Hmm, it was just ordinary marsh mud.

  He took out the "Zhenyuan Shocking Treasure" again, and with a swing of his heavy axe, he chopped down at the spot where he was standing, one chop after another, quickly chopping out a small pit that reached his knee.

  A look of joy appeared on his face, he had found the right place! As he chopped in with one axe after another, he felt the weak Heavenly Movement energy, seemingly stirring up, gradually strengthening. He stopped chopping and revealed a contemplative expression.

  The rotten and decaying swamp floated with a faint stench, Lin took out a piece of fire crystal stone and placed it in the hole he had dug. Then, his body flew swiftly, constantly embedding itself into the space stone within a five-meter range.

  As the last piece of space stone was inlaid, a flash of light enveloped him and he was swallowed into another world.

  Under the pitch-black night sky, hundreds of azure beams shot up to the heavens, and he stood on a precipice. The twinkling stars, together with the dazzling blue light columns, created a breathtaking visual impact.

  This is the real Big Array!

  Lin Heng originally wanted to think of a way to break the array, but thinking that Qing Yu Xian Jing would see herself not returning for a long time, and according to their petty family atmosphere, they might suspect her of being disloyal and selfish. With this thought, she decided to return first and bring Fang Lanlan and Li Shi there. Anyway, time was not urgent, and she should have enough time to solve the array.

  He was seen flashing his body and reappearing in the original swamp position.

  Lin Heng took away two blocks of space, but embedded two blocks of hidden diligent stones in the other three positions. The entire small-scale magic array and this small piece of solid land disappeared together.

  After finishing all this, he rose into the air and flew towards the outer edge of the dark fog.

  Just as he left, the original Tianzhu and several others from the Tianmo Valley appeared in the position where he had just been.

  That day, Zhenzi stared at a small plate with a strange shape, constantly sizing up the surroundings, full of astonishment.

  "There was clearly an energy fluctuation in this direction just now, how did it suddenly disappear?"

  The junior master of the Demon Valley had been following him back and forth, searching around restlessly. He was already fed up with him and said, "Aren't you seeing things? We've all passed through this place countless times before, but we never discovered anything. Now you're saying there's an energy fluctuation?"

  Tian Yunzi looked around and scratched her disheveled hair, saying helplessly: "Maybe I really am seeing things."

  A figure, once again disappeared.
