Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Chapter 501: Chapter 197: Breaking the Five Elements Formation

The white figure had appeared so abruptly, but thanks to Lin Jing’s timely reaction, he barely dodged it.

After evading, Lin Jing realized that he and the others had been separated and could no longer see anyone else.

Just as Lin Jing was pondering how to search for the others, a fluctuation suddenly came from not far behind him, followed by a muffled groan.

Then came an exclamation:

“What the hell is this thing?”

Clearly, someone other than Lin Jing had also encountered an attack, just like him.

Immediately after, Lin Jing felt strong fluctuations of cultivation energy behind him, with immense spiritual power erupting and stirring the mist into disarray.

Since they were all close together before, Lin Jing felt it particularly keenly.

Judging by the situation, it seemed that some of the others were engaged in a fight with the white figure.

However, the fight didn’t last long, only a few breaths’ time before it ceased.

At that moment, a voice came from ahead.

“What’s going on?”

This voice was somewhat aged, likely belonging to the Island Master of True Dragon Island.

No sooner had the Island Master’s voice faded away than another voice arose from a short distance behind Lin Jing:

“It’s nothing…”

“Just now we ran into a puppet attack, but it’s been dealt with.”

Then, Bai Yi’s voice came from the front:

“Be careful. There are quite a few formations here. If we’re not cautious, even the three of us could end up in hot water.”

“Don’t worry, Island Master, we’ll be careful…” from not far beside Lin Jing, Xue Yilin’s voice followed.

Although they were not far apart, Lin Jing could not detect Xue Yilin’s presence even when expanding his Divine Sense.

He could only determine his location by sound, which was not far from him.

“Don’t get too far away; stay close to us…”

Bai Yi’s voice came through again.

“Okay…”

Afterward, Lin Jing followed the voices, groping his way forward.

Before long, the group had gathered again.

Even the cultivator who had gotten a bit further away due to the puppet attack arrived shortly after the others had regrouped.

After everyone had come together, Bai Yi brought out a copper candle Magical Treasure that emitted a bright red flame, casting a hazy red glow that enveloped them all.

The light from the flame dispersed much of the white mist around them.

Their line of sight instantly broadened from an initial range of about a meter to more than ten meters.

“From here on out, be cautious…”

Bai Yi spoke, issuing a warning, and then he led the group onward.

With the copper candle illuminating the way, their visibility greatly improved. This time, when they encountered another sneak attack, Lin Jing finally got a clear view of the assailant.

It was a humanoid puppet, completely white, blending in with the mist and hard to detect.

This time, with a wide-open view.

The humanoid puppet was noticed before it could launch an attack.

The three Island Masters at the front, upon spotting the puppet, took action immediately. With a single strike, the puppet burst apart, scattering its materials all over the ground.

The puppet was not very strong.

Even Lin Jing and the others found it easy to deal with.

The only issue was that the puppet could launch a surprise attack from within the mist, catching one off guard.

Now, with the copper candle Magical Treasure enhancing their visibility, the puppet’s only advantage—its concealment—no longer existed, so naturally, it posed no threat to the group.

In this manner, Lin Jing and the rest proceeded without incident, safely emerging from the range of the white fog.

Leaving the range of the white mist, the group finally arrived in front of a valley.

At the entrance of the valley, there was a huge Formation blocking the way.

This Formation was different from others; it was a combination of five smaller Formations, each of a different color. These five smaller Formations overlapped to form the massive Formation before them.

And furthermore,

Atop this Formation, five-colored lights were intertwined, constantly shifting.

Upon seeing this Formation, Bai Yi turned his head towards the others and said,

“Next, it’s your turn.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Jing and the others immediately stepped forward.

At that moment, Xue Yilin turned his head to Lin Jing and said,

“Lin Daoyou, when we start breaking the Formation, we’ll need your help.”

“Just listen to me when the time comes. You act when I tell you to.”

“Alright…” Lin Jing nodded in agreement.

After that, Xue Yilin and the other four went up to the Formation and began to study it.

To Lin Jing’s surprise, Xue Yilin turned out to be an Array Master as well.

But on second thought, it made sense.

Apart from the three Island Masters, there were only six of them brought for the exploration of the Five Elements Cave Mansion.

Since they were brought along, obviously there was a need for their abilities.

In this Cave Mansion, aside from the omnipresent Five Elements, the most abundant were the various Formations.

In this way, it was quite reasonable.

After the few of them stepped forward, the three Island Masters retreated to the side, quietly watching them.

After exploring, Xue Yilin and the others discussed for a while and then each began to bring out their Array Plates.

They started to work on solving the Formation.

At the entrance’s Five Elements Great Formation, each of the five of them was responsible for one.

Thus, they alternated between forming hand seals and manipulating their Array Plates, attempting to merge their Array Plates into the Formation.

About an hour later, the large combined Formation that was originally mixed together had been separated, and the assorted Five Elements Power that had been swirling around it also returned to their respective smaller Formations.

At this moment, Xue Yilin spoke to Lin Jing,

“Lin Daoyou, it’s your turn now…”

“Please use the Five Elements Divine Art and, according to the theory of the mutual conquest of the Five Elements, transfer the Five Elements Power within each Formation.”

“Remember, you must do it simultaneously.”

“Otherwise, if the Five Elements become imbalanced, the Formation will immediately become a Killing Formation, and we will all be in trouble.”

Lin Jing nodded and then approached the Formation.

At this time, Xue Yilin and the others, each controlling one Formation, were completely tied up with the task at hand.

Lin Jing then came next to Xue Yilin.

The Formation controlled by Xue Yilin was crimson, representing fire.

Fire conquers metal, and metal is white.

Next, Lin Jing looked towards the person controlling the white Formation, who was the Cultivator that had been attacked by a Puppet earlier.

Lin Jing needed to transfer the fire attribute power within the Formation controlled by Xue Yilin to the metallic Five Elements Formation of the Cultivator who had been attacked, to break this smaller Formation.

That was the method.

However, the Formation was a combined Fusion Formation of the Five Elements, and Lin Jing needed to use the power within all five Formations simultaneously for the transfer.

No wonder only Cultivators who had practiced the Five Elements Cultivation Technique could accomplish this task.

If it were other Cultivators, due to their own attributes and the limitations of their Cultivation Methods, it would be very difficult to maintain the balance of the five properties during the transfer.

Perhaps, if they were not careful, due to an imbalance of attributes, the entire endeavor would fail, turning the Formation into a Killing Formation.
