Shin Yao Yao Ying was indeed here!
This space was different from the previous void of chaos; it was solid and real, surrounded by familiar yellow-brown hard soil layers, including the top and bottom. It was evident that this was also a space deep within that hard soil layer, similar to the place where Shenlong was locked beneath the celestial palace. However, this space was larger, covering an area of at least a hundred acres, with a height close to a hundred feet.
In this vast space, the most striking features were four high platforms. These platforms were made of Black Jade, resembling the Black Jade Platform that imprisoned Shin Yao's true form beneath the celestial palace. Li Hong Divine Consciousness penetrated in and was immediately taken aback.
During the long search for the formation eye, Li Hong had painstakingly separated the Black Jade Platform that locked Shenlong's true form and the hundreds of Exotic Silver Chains that passed through the platform. In doing so, he made an astonishing discovery: the interior of that Black Jade Platform was inscribed with numerous formations. These small formations were intricate, and upon careful examination, Li Hong recognized several of them. These particular formations were ones he had seen in the Temple City Star Sect Manuscript Chamber. The combination of these small formations created a complex function that included imprisonment, soul calming, immobilization, and enhancing the absorption and diffusion of Celestial Essence. In simple terms, it was essentially a large composite functional formation tailored for trapping Shin Yao, creating a celestial palace, and forming this False Immortal Realm.
Now seeing a similar Black Jade Platform here, Li Hong became cautious and decided to scan it roughly with his Divine Consciousness. To his surprise, he discovered that this Black Jade Platform had only one function: it was a Spirit Gathering Array.
These four Black Jade Platforms were four large Spirit Gathering Arrays.
Currently, three of the high platforms were glowing brightly with Iridescence, indicating that the Spirit Gathering Array was in operation. At the center enveloped by the Iridescence were three Shin Yao Yao Ying. They were about two feet long and looked exactly like their true forms, existing somewhere between reality and illusion. When Li Hong suddenly appeared from mid-air, all three were lying at the center of their respective Black Jade Platforms, enjoying the unknown source of Celestial Essence provided by the Spirit Gathering Array.
When Li Hong emerged from mid-air, all three Shin Yao were startled and panicked. They could not fathom how Li Hong had found this place.
At that moment, one of the Shin Yao shifted its gaze and spotted the floating Pure Blue Flying Sword in front of Li Hong. This Shin Yao opened its mouth instinctively to retrieve its sword. However, when it inhaled, the Pure Blue Flying Sword remained completely still. It was only then that this particular Shin Yao finally realized that its connection to this sword had been severed; it had changed ownership!
The Shin Yao glared at Li Hong, its eyes filled with jealousy and hatred, unwilling to accept this reality.
But even more surprised was Li Hong.
He clearly saw the actions of this particular Shin Yao Yao Ying, almost unable to believe his eyes. He had always thought that this Pure Blue Flying Sword belonged to the mastermind behind everything or at least to someone sent by them. He never expected it to be one of the three Shin Yao!
All the commotion just now had been caused by these three creatures!
As realization sank in, despair filled his heart. Many vague suspicions he had harbored were confirmed at this moment, yet he instinctively rejected this fact.
He had always believed that the mastermind must be hiding in the formation eye, maliciously monitoring everything happening in the False Immortal Realm. Now it seemed that assumption did not hold true. It was very likely that since day one of establishing this False Immortal Realm, everything operated automatically, with four key players being these four Shin Yao. The destruction of their true forms might even be more comfortable for them because they could shed their imprisoned fate and comfortably manipulate everything from within the formation eye.
It turned out it was just these three beasts causing trouble! Disappointment and anger surged within him as he punched towards the nearest Black Jade Platform, wanting nothing more than to vent his frustration.
The punch carried immense weight, and before the fist even arrived, the fierce wind had already carved deep marks into the hard ground. Just as it was about to strike the Black Jade Platform, Li Hong was startled by a sudden blinding light and instinctively withdrew his fist.
The Black Jade Platform in front of him suddenly changed.
The entire Black Jade Platform lit up from within, with a large Spirit Gathering Array operating beyond its limits, producing a constant buzzing sound. A massive amount of unknown Spiritual Energy surged forth onto the platform's surface. It turned out that there was also an array on the platform itself, with eight transparent pillars of light rising up, resembling the four support poles and edges of a gauzy canopy. All the overflowing dense Spiritual Energy was contained within these eight transparent pillars, compressing further and further on the platform, making it appear from Li Hong's angle as if a square crystal had suddenly appeared atop the platform. This crystal shared properties similar to the Supreme Celestial Stone, composed entirely of high-concentration pure Five Elements Spiritual Energy.
The three-headed Shin Yao Yao Ying resumed a lying posture, resting in the center of the "crystal." Its expression had calmed down, seemingly full of confidence in this "crystal." When looking at Li Hong, there was even a hint of disdain.
Something was off. Li Hong summoned Yue Que and aimed at the dense Spiritual Energy forming the "crystal" for an attack.
Moonlight of the Waning Moon flashed and struck directly against the flowing Iridescence of the "crystal," but no matter how Li Hong urged it, he could not penetrate even a fraction.
Indeed, something was amiss.
The three-headed Shin Yao Yao Ying showed slight movement when Yue Que attacked, turning its head to observe. Seeing Li Hong's strike fail, all three Demon Babies let out a sigh of relief, their contempt becoming even more evident. They clearly had increased confidence in this platform and the peculiar "crystal" formed by Spiritual Energy.
Li Hong calmed down and carefully surveyed the entire space again.
There were four Spirit Gathering Array platforms in total; when he first entered, only three were operational. Now all four platforms had activated, drawing in Spiritual Energy from unknown sources to form a cohesive whole on the Black Jade Platform, which even Yue Que could not penetrate. Three of these platforms housed the three-headed Shin Yao Yao Ying, while one remained empty.
At the top of the space, there was a circular opening about a hundred feet high, perfectly centered above all four Black Jade Platforms. A faint familiar aura emanated from this opening. It belonged to none other than Fuxi and his companions. This must be the entrance to this space, corresponding to that purple mist seen earlier in the chaotic realm.
The ground here was made of that familiar hard yellow soil layer—very solid and smooth.
This meant that aside from the four Iridescence-emitting Black Jade Platforms and the entrance at the top, there were no other unusual arrangements in this entire space.
He truly found it hard to believe that such a simple formation could be so effective; could there be secrets hidden within Shin Yao?
Li Hong extended his Divine Consciousness toward the entrance but unexpectedly found it easily passing through. He could clearly "see" Fuxi and others outside, bustling around like ants in a hot pot.
It turns out that the Divine Consciousness here is unidirectionally isolated; the inner layer can see the outer layer, but the outer layer cannot see the inner layer. No wonder Shin Yao had created so many tricks before; it was all through this entrance.
With this in mind, Li Hong felt that this formation was surprisingly simplistic.
Not thinking too much about it, he called everyone in.
Once everyone entered, they all stared blankly at the three high platforms and the carefree Shin Yao Yao Ying on top of them.
Li Hong explained the situation, and everyone hesitated, completely unsure of how to handle these three pieces of tough meat.
At that moment, Xuan Yuan suddenly frowned and said, "Don't you find it strange? The entire False Immortal Realm is so lacking in Spiritual Energy. Even if there are four extremely sophisticated Spirit Gathering Arrays here, where could they gather Spiritual Energy from? And it's so dense that it has almost formed a large block of Spiritual Energy!"
His words reminded Li Hong, who hurried over to the high platform without Shin Yao Yao Ying, bending down to look underneath.
It turned out that this Black Jade Platform was not placed on the ground but deeply embedded in the underground. After careful observation, Li Hong made a discovery. The internal Spirit Gathering Array of the Black Jade Platform was more complex than any he had seen before, with layers upon layers that transformed, gathered, and concentrated the Five Elements Spiritual Energy drawn from deep below the platform. It purified and transported it upward, finally releasing it through a defensive array on the surface, aiming to keep this Spiritual Energy concentrated within a small area without dispersing.
From this perspective, these four Black Jade Platforms Spirit Gathering Arrays were fundamentally serving the four Shin Yao.
“How do we break this? What will happen after we break it?” Tian Cheng asked loudly.
Everyone wanted to know the answer to this question, but no one had any idea.
Everything here gave a feeling of being unable to grasp anything, like throwing a punch into thin air. Disappointment filled everyone's hearts, leaving them feeling heavy-headed and lost.
Suddenly, a loud shout rang out: “Forget it! I'll pull it out for a spin!”
Everyone turned to look at the source of the voice and saw Li Hong floating in mid-air, holding onto the end of a Binding Immortal Rope. At the other end was none other than Shin Yao Yao Ying, wrapped tightly like a large dumpling in both the Binding Immortal Rope and two pieces of Purple Veil.
With a wave of his hand, Li Hong removed the Purple Veil, and everything immediately came into view for this Western Shin Yao. It was greatly moved and began to struggle desperately. At the same time, the three other Shin Yao Yao Ying also trembled in unison, raising their heads excitedly to look at their companion in mid-air.
Li Hong looked at the fervent eyes of the three Shin Yao Yao Ying below and suddenly felt a surge of inspiration, a wild thought emerged.
Desperate times call for desperate measures. With all four Shin Yao Yao Ying gathered, there would surely be a significant change, and this change would be crucial.
Crisis is an opportunity.
Li Hong made a decisive move and suddenly withdrew the Binding Immortal Rope.
The Shin Yao Yao Ying felt the pressure on its body vanish abruptly, almost thinking it was an illusion. Not daring to linger, it rolled in mid-air and charged straight toward the only vacant Black Jade Platform.
Everyone immediately shouted out. Even Xuan Yuan, who was usually calm and composed, couldn't help but yell, "Why did you let it go! You've ruined our grand plan!" Everyone joined forces, trying to stop the Shin Yao Yao Ying.
Li Hong squinted and observed closely but remained unmoved.
Dozens of Extreme Treasures shot toward the Shin Yao Yao Ying, but it was already too late. The Shin Yao Yao Ying had reached the surface of the crystal-like high platform's Spiritual Energy square and effortlessly passed through the surface in front of everyone's astonished eyes, comfortably settling in the center of the platform.
The atmosphere in the space changed instantly as an invisible pressure suddenly emanated from the four high platforms. Looking at the four high platforms, they had all simultaneously begun to transform.
