Chapter 3076: Arrive Again

domain, sword intent surged and rolled, transforming in an instant into eight phantom figures. Those phantoms, clad in blue robes with long hair flowing behind them, appeared hazy and indistinct......"No wonder Senior Sister Xin Hong speaks so highly of Junior Brother Dong Fang. Junior Brother Dong Fang's attainments in formations are indeed extraordinary."

Once this cloud formation was disturbed by external force, the anomaly wouldn't be limited to just the center. In fact, with external assistance, the eye of the formation would shift slightly. Lu Xiaoteng saw at a glance where the eye was preparing to move to, which truly surprised Yun Chong somewhat.

"The formation is nothing more than a small way." Lu Xia Tian retracted his gaze from the location of the formation eye, roughly able to see the key point of this formation. Although this formation was ingenious and could control a large flying immortal artifact like the Xiayun, the consumption of fairy crystals was also considerable. The scale was indeed large enough, but it was difficult to stop the assault of true immortals. Even if Yun Chongyi wasn't there to sit in, Lu Xia Tian wouldn't find it too difficult to board the Xiayun.

It is considered quite suitable for Xianzong sects as a means of transportation. However, for someone like Lu XiaTian whose perspective has reached the level of True Immortals, it has little practical use.

"If it weren't for Dongfang younger brother's insistence, I wouldn't have wanted Dongfang younger brother to come to such a dangerous place." Yun Chongyi probed with a smile, "With Dongfang younger brother's potential, there is no need to rush for immediate gains."

“As for formations and alchemy, cultivation is more important to me.” Lu Xia Tian heard Yun Chongyi’s advice against venturing into the Phantom Mist Swamp, but he had his own plans and wouldn't be easily dissuaded.

Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Yun Chongyi shook his head helplessly. Since he couldn't easily persuade Lu Xiaoteng to leave, the best course of action was to find a way to keep him in a relatively safe area.

Two people were talking when a powerful aura, faint at first, came from afar. After a moment, the aura became clearer and clearer. A massive black turtle-shaped vessel, crafted from an unknown material, appeared in the distance. “Master Yun, it seems you’re quick on your feet,” said a wizened old man with silver hair and a thin frame, standing at the front of the turtle-shaped vessel. He wore a purple robe, his hands tucked into his waist. Despite his frail appearance, he possessed an undeniable aura of dominance.

"We are acting swiftly as usual, but it seems you, Lei Yin Xian Zong, have taken the initiative and arrived first. It appears that Zong Master Wu has been putting in a lot of effort lately." Yun Chongyi did not hide the surprise on his face.

"Of course, the early bird gets the worm. After learning about the fairy crystal vein in Huanyun Marsh, I rushed all the way and finally caught up with Yunzong Master's progress." Wu Lei Cang laughed heartily.

Lu Xia Tian's eyes swept over Wu Lei Cang, landing on Tu Xing Yun behind him. Sure enough, the lotus avatar appeared behind Tu Xing Yun. It seems that in this period of time, the strength of the lotus avatar has also improved.

“This is Dongfang Daoist friend. When my Lei Yin Xianzong received the news, we dispatched people all the way to Huanyun Swamp. Unfortunately, we were a step too late and missed the opportunity. It’s a pity, it’s a pity.” In the end, Wu Leicang shifted his attention back to Lu Xiaoteng.

“It’s a matter of time and luck, Master Wu is too polite.” Lu Xia Tian bowed to Wu Lei Cang. When he was being pursued by Zhao Qi Feng, he asked Ban Hui Lama and his disciples, as well as Lin Fang, to contact Leiyin Xianzong and Yunxia Xianzong respectively. As a result, the reinforcements from Yunxia Xianzong arrived first, and naturally, he joined Yunxia Xianzong.”

"Sect Master Yun, your Xiaoyun has remained unchanged for so many years. If there's nothing else, I shall take my leave." As soon as Wu Lei Cang finished speaking, the giant turtle-shaped flying vessel stirred its four legs. It seemed slow at first glance, but once it got moving, its speed surpassed that of this very Xiaoyun cloud of the Yunxia Xianzong by a full 20%.

"It seems that the situation in the Illusory Mist Marsh is far more complex than originally anticipated." Watching as several giant flying vessels from the Leiyin Immortal Sect departed one after another, Yun Chongyi's face was considerably more serious than before.

“Do our best and accept what fate has in store. Our Yunjia Xianzong has prepared thoroughly, and we were among the first to arrive. As long as we don't get greedy or overreach, we will surely reap great rewards. There's no need to be too concerned with others,” Lu Xiaoti said.

“Haha, what Dongfang said is very true. Just do your own thing well, the more you calculate, the more you lose.” Yun Chongyi also laughed heartily upon hearing this.

Along the way, Yun Chongyi introduced Lu Xiaitian to the immortal sects that were allied with Yuncxia Xianzong this time: Qianhuagou and Yuying Palace.

“Generally speaking, the three of us from different Xianmen are responsible for three different directions. If nothing special happens, there won't be too much interaction. But anything can happen unexpectedly. If you encounter a team belonging to the other two sects during the exploration of Xianjing ore veins, brother Dongfang, please pay attention. Try your best not to cause conflict, so that we all have a good face later.”

Lu Xiaoteng nodded, indicating he remembered. In the distance, a thick fog shrouded the heavens and earth. Even the blazing sun in the void was completely concealed. Lu Xiaoteng, Yunxia, Yunli, and the others looked at it, but they had a strange sense of familiarity.

“Om....” With a series of booming, resonant sounds, groups of cultivators descended from the clouds, each led by several or a dozen immortals. Unlike the solemn expressions of other immortals, Lu Xiaoteng felt a slight sense of relief looking at the mist before him. Since the last time this fog-shrouded place yielded an immortal crystal vein and was struck by the icy and golden murderous qi, the restrictions here had loosened considerably. Fortunately, these restrictions had stabilized afterward, and their power hadn't deteriorated significantly. This meant that the Ice Demon Vase in his hand could still exert considerable influence and wouldn't leave him powerless against hostile true immortals.

Of course, according to Lu Xiaottian's estimate, Zhao Qifeng and Xu Suqin were at this level. As for Yun Chongyi or Wu Leicang, those True Immortals of that level, Lu Xiaottian still didn't have much confidence.

"Sect Master, I shall take my leave." Lu Xia Tian bowed to Yun Chong Yi before leading his ten disciples, each with varying levels of cultivation, and a thousand cultivators of different realms into the thick white fog.

These cultivators each had on either robes that resisted the icy and golden killing qi, or natural ice-gold spirit clearing stones, immortal treasures. However, their cultivation was too low. Before determining the exact location of the immortal crystal vein, they needed to minimize movement as much as possible. They had to choose a relatively safe location to set up camp as a resting place, and later use it as a base for collecting immortal crystal deposits, or for subsequent mining teams arriving.

After walking through the Mistland for several days, leaving markers along the way, Lu Xia Tian chose a low-lying location with sturdy barriers and extremely thin Jin Bing Sha Qi as his base.

Four Immortals remained behind to guard the remaining over a thousand tribulation cultivators and those below the Mahayana stage, who set up camp. Lu Xia Tian then left the camp with his familiar friends, Yunxia Fairy included, and ventured deeper into the realm of illusionary mist.

Compared to Fairy Yunxia, Yunli and the two acted cautiously. The Lama and his apprentice, as well as Lin Fang and the others, all showed a newfound curiosity on their faces. They weren't here to mine fairy crystals, of course. But if they stumbled upon the core area of the vein, being able to collect some mid-grade fairy crystals would be a small profit. And if they could collect one or two high-grade ones, that would be a huge payday.ith a flick of his sleeve, he was about to leave directly. 。“Haha, Lu brother, you've finally come back” 。Suddenly, Zhu Qi again opened his mouth and burst into laughter, once again a picture of sheer...
