"Let's go, Little Silver, follow this old man to take a look at the ore vein …" Xiao Hua called out. Little Silver also chirped in agreement and obediently flew into Xiao Hua's hand. Its snow-white tail curled around Xiao Hua's right thumb and nestled in Xiao Hua's palm, looking very comfortable.
Xiao Hua followed the two little ones' instructions and surveyed the entire source stone vein. He then sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes, thinking hard. Previously, he had only wanted to place the Black Wind Ridge in the Capital Star Formation, but after coming out, he wanted to place the entire Black Wind Ridge in the formation as the Fortune Gate's foundation. However, after seeing the source stone vein, Xiao Hua realized that he had to place the source stone vein inside the Capital Star Formation.
On one hand, the source stone vein inside the Capital Star Formation could provide an endless supply of source stones for the Fortune Gate or Jiang Country. On the other hand, Xiao Hua's Capital Star Formation relied on a jade talisman. Although the jade talisman could absorb origin energy from the outside world to replenish it, if the replenishment speed could not keep up with the speed of destruction, the formation could be easily broken. The Five Brocade Clouds Painting was a classic example.
On the other hand, the Capital Star Formation was built on top of a source stone vein, so there was no need to worry about the lack of origin energy to replenish it. The Capital Star Formation would also be more stable. This was a win-win situation.
However, Xiao Hua had never built the Capital Star Array on top of a primordial stone mine before. This was yet another test for him in terms of array formations.
However, Xiao Hua had helped the Huang Family repair the Heavenly Gate Mountain's grand formation, so he had some experience. Xiao Hua pondered over the method to arrange the Capital Star Formation while recalling the layout of the Heavenly Gate Mountain's grand formation. He even secretly wondered if Huang Mengxiang was safe.
Ten days later, the frowning Xiao Hua gradually calmed down. Another five days passed, and Xiao Hua stood up, full of confidence.
Soon after, Xiao Hua released his Divine Sense and probed for a bit before burrowing into the ground and heading towards a certain direction. After half a cup of tea's worth of time, he reappeared between the layers of soil. With a wave of his hand, a jade talisman landed there, and Xiao Hua fled again. After half a cup of tea's worth of time, he reappeared at another location and threw out another jade talisman …
After walking like this for more than half a day, Xiao Hua threw out the 803 jade talismans that he had already comprehended. Only then did he land again. He arrived at the side of the first jade talisman, and after a few dozen feet to the side, he arrived at the location of a Yuan Stone Lode. Xiao Hua closed his eyes, activated his magic power, and rubbed his hands together. Wisps of brilliance flashed, and one after another, he formed hand seals. The surrounding Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth quickly rushed toward the Yuan Stone Lode, and on the surface of the Yuan Stone Lode, a rune flashed with earthen yellow brilliance!
After a full cup of tea's worth of time, Xiao Hua clenched his hand and chanted, "Quick …"
Brilliant light overflowed in all directions as strands of hair-like crystal light appeared, covering an area of nearly a hundred feet. Without waiting for the crystal light to disappear, Xiao Hua slapped his hand on the top of his head again, and the hand of his Nascent Soul appeared once more. "Rumble …" As if the earth was quaking and the mountains were shaking, the crystal light rushed toward the location of the jade talisman …
However, the crystal light only rushed a few feet before it suddenly flew downwards, and didn't fly straight toward the jade talisman!
"Aiyo, what's going on?"
Xiao Hua was shocked, but he didn't dare to be distracted. Now was the crucial moment, and if he couldn't get the crystal light to fall into the jade talisman, all his previous efforts would be wasted. Not only could he not use the nodes of the array, but all the nodes of the jade talisman would have to be changed.
"Rise …" Xiao Hua urged his magic power, and the hand of his Nascent Soul let out a rumbling sound. He grasped the crystal light with great difficulty, and rushed toward the jade talisman.
However, although Xiao Hua had already urged the hand of his Nascent Soul, there seemed to be a suction force even stronger than the hand of his Nascent Soul, and it was fighting with the hand of his Nascent Soul for the crystal light!
"Damn it, strange things happen every year, but this year there are especially many!
Could it be that there's something strange under this yuan stone mine? "
Xiao Hua was very helpless, but now that things had come to this, he could only brace himself and try his best to control the hand of his Nascent Soul. Fortunately, although he consumed a lot of magic power, Xiao Hua still sent the crystal light into the jade talisman. When the crystal light rushed into the jade talisman, the jade talisman shone brightly, like a brilliant sun, and merged with the yuan stone mine that Xiao Hua had previously refined!
"Good!" Xiao Hua finally let out a sigh of relief, and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead.
Soon after, Xiao Hua lowered his head to look at the solid layer of earth below him, and a kind of surprise appeared in his eyes. Now that Xiao Hua had the strength of a Spirit Severing Stage cultivator, it could be said that he was a master of a region. His Nascent Soul's hand could be easily resisted by a genuine fifth grade cultivator, so how could there be a suction force for no reason under this yuan stone mine?
Xiao Hua had the intention to first arrange the Capital Star Formation, and then go down to explore, but thinking about how much magic power it would consume to arrange more than three hundred places, this was not something that could be easily dealt with, ah. After thinking for a while, Xiao Hua urged the Earth Escape Technique to go down the yuan stone mine …
After traveling for the time it took to eat a meal, Xiao Hua was afraid that he had already traveled several thousand meters underground. A kind of enormous buoyancy gradually appeared around Xiao Hua's body, and began to prevent Xiao Hua from traveling any further. Xiao Hua understood that he was about to reach the limit of Earth Escape.
However, when he reached this place, he still didn't see anything special. Xiao Hua was completely bewildered. After all, he was several thousand feet underground. Even if he was on the ground, it was still the height of a mountain. At such a high distance, what in the world was affecting him from arranging the formation?
After thinking for a while, Xiao Hua's eyes flashed with a faint blue brilliance, and the Delirium Destruction Technique Eye slowly opened. When Xiao Hua raised his eyes to look around, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then a kind of indescribable ecstasy welled up in his heart.
In the Delirium Destruction Technique Eye, within the faint yellow brilliance, strands of black brilliance and strands of fiery red brilliance intertwined with each other, and like a light mist, they fell down from all directions. Xiao Hua's entire body was within this black and red brilliance, and the most strange thing was that these rays of light were not straight, but actually curved, and extremely magnificent, they converged at a place far away from Xiao Hua's feet!
How familiar this situation was! Wasn't it the same situation when Xiao Hua, who was refining Qi, went to the Netherworld to gain experience before he reached the Foundation Establishment stage and saw the Metal Earth Magnetic Field?
It was just that the brown brilliance had been replaced with black brilliance, and the golden brilliance had been replaced with fiery red brilliance. Moreover, this brilliance was extremely faint, and not as dense as the magnetic field near the Metal Earth Magnetic Field!
And the arc of these rays of light was exactly the same as before.
Xiao Hua really couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart, because as early as in the Sage's Jiang Xuanshui Palace, Xin Xin had already transmitted to him the materials used to refine the Five Elements Wishful Heaven Cudgel. These materials were water and fire magnets, wood and water magnets, water and fire magnets, fire and earth magnets, and earth and metal magnets!
These five types of magnets were extremely heavy, and they reinforced and restrained each other. If the five types of magnets were refined together, they could be called one, and the five elements could be balanced between each other, no longer being affected by the five elements of the outside world, and achieve the goal of not entering the five elements.
Of course, Xin Xin didn't know how these five types of magnets were refined together.
At that time, Xiao Hua thought of the Metal Earth Magnetic Field in the Netherworld of the Dawn Rain Continent, but he didn't expect that under the Black Cloud Ridge's Primordial Stone Mine, there was actually such a Water and Fire Magnetic Field hidden!
Since there was such a Water and Fire Magnetic Field here, it was reasonable that the Black Cloud Ridge had such a large Primordial Stone Mine.
Now that he had discovered the materials used to refine the Five Elements Wishful Heaven Cudgel, how could Xiao Hua be willing to leave?
He hurriedly urged his transcendence energy to continue to escape. Sure enough, a moment later, a powerful suction force was generated, pulling the things in Xiao Hua's arms and the small Qiankun Bag at his waist. It should be the Water and Fire Magnetic Field taking effect.
Xiao Hua was overjoyed and hurriedly stored everything into the space, only then did he continue to escape. Another half a cup of tea later, a layer of pitch-black cloud-like things appeared in front of Xiao Hua's eyes, blocking his escape path. In his transcendence vision, the black and fiery red brilliance had already completely condensed into thin lines, directly rushing through the cloud-like things and falling inside. Based on Xiao Hua's experience, he knew that behind the pitch-black fog was the Water and Fire Magnetic Field Space.
Only, this pitch-black fog was rather strange. It could actually appear in his transcendence vision, naturally causing Xiao Hua to be immediately on guard!
Xiao Hua closed his transcendence vision and opened his eyes. That black fog had transformed into a kind of viscous liquid. It seemed to be motionless, but from time to time, tiny whirlpools would appear. When Xiao Hua's divine sense swept over, it actually swallowed his divine sense.
"Oh, this Xiao understands now!
Those strange black clouds in the Black Cloud Ridge … I'm afraid they were formed by these pitch-black things seeping out of the ground! "
Xiao Hua inwardly pondered. "If I were to use magic treasures to break through, it would be unrealistic. Now that I'm already close to the Water Magnetic Field Space, all magic treasures would be attracted by the magnetic field, basically unable to display their effects!"
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Hua opened his mouth and a wisp of spiritual fire rushed out. Following Xiao Hua's Divine Fire Art, it immediately transformed into a net of fire and pounced into the black clouds.
"Zzzt …" First, there was the sound of water droplets falling into a pot of oil, followed by waves of what seemed to be howling in the air from within the black fog. Immediately after, within a radius of one zhang in front of Xiao Hua, a gap immediately appeared where the spiritual fire rushed in. Once this gap appeared, a powerful suction force immediately came from within the gap. Xiao Hua hastily urged his Earth Escape Technique to rush into the gap.
There was actually an extremely large amount of black fog, just like a deep pool. Xiao Hua controlled the spiritual fire to continuously sink down, descending no less than a hundred zhang before he finally escaped from the black fog.
At this moment, although it was pitch-black beneath Xiao Hua's feet, his transcendence vision once again overflowed with light and vibrant colors!
Right below Xiao Hua's feet, a long rainbow-like thick fiery red light beam could be seen pushing up the pitch-black fog high up into the sky. Those fiery red light beams converged in the distance, the place in the distance was like an oval sun, slowly rotating.
However, this sun was not a single color, but a mixture of fiery red and black. When these two splendors intertwined together, it looked so beautiful and so profound.
Wasn't this space precisely the Water Fire Magnetic Field Space?
