As the illusion array shattered, the scenery before the four people in the grand formation drastically changed. Luo Qing, Immortal King, saw the three people beside her and immediately realized they were sent by her sect to rescue her. She was filled with both shame and fury! She struck out a palm towards the crowd in front of the Little Xuan Sect's main hall!
At the very moment the illusion array broke, the people of the Little Xuan Sect had already turned ashen. Some had even begun to sneak towards the back mountain! Lu Ming was so frightened he was close to wetting himself!
However, Luo Qing, Immortal King's palm didn't land on anyone!
The four Immortal Kings from the Haotian Sect also seemed to have noticed something amiss. The people of the Little Xuan Sect were right in front of them, but they couldn't touch them! The other three also tried, but it was to no avail!
Old Man Lu's face changed, and he said: "It's bad! We've been tricked!"
The other three heard this and also had a bad premonition!
"Old Man Lu, what exactly is going on? Didn't the illusion array break?"
Old Man Lu nodded first, then shook his head, saying: "The illusion array did indeed break, but I didn't expect there to be another layer of formation outside the illusion array."
"Another layer?!"
The other three immediately felt their scalps tingle!
This is a nested formation of formations?!
"Old Man Lu, what kind of formation is this? Can we break it?"
Old Man Lu didn't say anything, just surveyed the surroundings, constantly making moves to try something.
Meanwhile, everyone from the Little Xuan Sect felt like they were on a rollercoaster, their mental states almost collapsing. They watched the four people in the big formation gesticulating wildly, unsure what they were up to.
Chen Chengren had a bold guess, "Could it be that they broke the illusion formation, but fell into another formation?"
Chen Chengren started to doubt his life. He suddenly realized he didn't know the Little Xuan Sect at all! This big formation could easily trap even Immortal Kings, and there were four of them! How did he not know this? But that was true; the Little Xuan Sect hadn't used this protective formation in who knew how many years.
About three hours later!
Old Man Lu finally understood and said to the other three:
"This formation should be an Inch of Land Formation. This formation incorporates all five elements, creating a small world of its own. It can trap those who enter within an inch of land, so no matter which direction we go, we're actually stuck in the same place!"
Luo Qing, Immortal King, and the other two looked enlightened.
"Is there a way to break this formation?"
Old Man Lu, the Immortal King, nodded and said,
"There are two ways to break this formation. The first is to directly use brute force to break this space, and the formation will naturally be broken. However…"
The other three, upon hearing that the formation could be broken, immediately became excited and quickly asked,
"However, what?"
Old Man Lu sighed,
"However, the person who set up the formation should be far stronger than us, so it's basically impossible to break the formation with brute force."
Luo Qing and the other two gasped. A cultivation level far higher than theirs – the implications were self-evident! However, the previous intelligence showed that the Little Xuan Sect had never produced such a strong individual!
The three of them looked at each other, seeing the fear in each other's eyes!
Luo Qing's voice trembled slightly as she asked, "Then what is the other method!"
Old Man Lu, Immortal King, looked dejected as he replied, "The foundation of this formation is the five elements' spiritual energy. To maintain its operation, it must have five types of five-element treasures as support. We only need to refine the five elements' energy within this realm, and the formation will naturally collapse! However..."
"Can't you stop beating around the bush and just say it in one sentence?" Luo Qing, Immortal King, felt an urge to punch Old Man Lu in the head!
"Sigh, but I think that the five elements' spiritual objects in this formation are not ordinary things. It's a pipe dream for us to refine them all!"
Luo Qing and the other two were immediately exasperated!
"So, you went around in circles to tell us there's no way?"
Old Man Lu just looked distraught, muttering to himself, "I've studied formations for tens of thousands of years and thought I was close to the peak, but compared to the person who set up this formation, I'm like a three-year-old child... It's so ironic."
While the four were trapped in the formation, Bai Xuefeng, who was guarding outside, had already run back to the Haotian Sect and stumbled into the main hall!
Haotian Immortal Emperor, who was busy holding a meeting with the elders, was repeatedly interrupted by Bai Xuefeng and was immediately furious!
"Don't tell me Luo Qing and the others are also trapped!"
Bai Xuefeng knelt on the ground, repeatedly kowtowing, and stammered, "It's Luo Qing, Immortal King... The three of them had already succeeded in breaking the formation... but... but they were trapped in another formation!"
Haotian Immortal Emperor smashed the jade table in front of him!
"Absurd!"
