Cultivating immortality relies on spatial abilities; defying fate to become the protagonist.

Chapter 212

In an instant, the previously calm ground began to tremble violently without warning! As if a giant beast sleeping deep underground had awakened, accompanied by a muffled rumble, clods of yellowish-brown earth began to slowly rise from the ground.

These clods of earth were initially only the size of a fist, but over time, they grew taller and larger at a visible rate. Eventually, each clod of earth transformed into a tall and imposing humanoid clay golem!
These earthen golems exuded a heavy earthy smell, their rough skin resembling the texture of the earth, and their empty, lifeless eyes stared intently at Gu Shihan and the others.

Suddenly, they let out a low, hoarse "hoho" sound, like a pack of hungry beasts that had spotted their prey, and pounced on the group with bared teeth and claws.

Faced with this sudden change, everyone was momentarily stunned.

It wasn't until the earthen golems were right in front of them, swinging their enormous fists at them, that the group snapped out of their daze. In a panic, they frantically pulled out their weapons and hastily prepared to fight back.

Fortunately, after countless life-or-death tests and arduous trials, the team's tacit understanding and cooperation have become second nature.

Although they were initially a little flustered, they quickly regained their composure and gradually found the weaknesses of the earth golems in the back-and-forth between offense and defense.

The team members moved nimbly among the earthen golems, their weapons gleaming coldly as they thrust, slashed, and parried, each strike hitting the golems' vital points with pinpoint accuracy.

With a series of crisp cracking sounds echoing all around, one after another, the earthen golems fell down, turning into piles of broken mud.

Finally, when the last earthen golem was shattered under the combined attack of the crowd, the mysterious fairy field reappeared before their eyes.

Without even taking a breath, everyone rushed forward and worked together to quickly harvest the precious herbs from the fairy field.

Surprisingly, after the last elixir was successfully harvested, many tender green seedlings sprouted in the elixir field.

These seedlings were delicate and vibrant, emitting an alluring fragrance. Unfortunately, an invisible barrier enveloped the celestial field, preventing anyone from harming the seedlings.

"Wow, this is so comfortable! I never imagined that such a wonderful place would exist in this treacherous and misty forest! With every breath, I can clearly feel the immortal spiritual power within my body surging and growing continuously!" Wenxin said excitedly with a big smile.

“That’s right, Wenxin is absolutely right! We originally came in just to try our luck and explore, but we never expected to have such a pleasant surprise. It seems that this trip was definitely worthwhile! However, in my opinion, there are still many unknowns about this mysterious Immortal-Seeking Peak waiting for us to explore carefully!” Gu Shihan also smiled, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Just then, Shi Qinghan, who had been silent all along, suddenly frowned and said thoughtfully, "Something's not right... I remember that on the map of the Misty Forest I saw before, there wasn't a single mark for Seeking Immortal Peak! Could it be that someone deliberately hid it?"

Hearing this, Mo Yu nodded in agreement, saying, "Very likely! After all, the sudden appearance of that white-robed female cultivator is full of mysteries, and the reason we were able to come here is entirely due to her guidance. Perhaps this is a rare opportunity bestowed upon us by heaven."

"Hey, stop making wild guesses! Whether it's a coincidence or not, now that we're here, let's go all out and explore properly! Who knows, there might be more unexpected surprises waiting for us to discover!" Gu Jiahui clapped his hands happily and said with a smile.

"Brother Jia Hui is absolutely right!" Nangong Yi echoed with a smile. And so, filled with curiosity and anticipation, the group once again embarked on their adventure at Xunxian Peak. However, as they ventured deeper, the dangers they faced increased dramatically.

Sure enough, they hadn't walked far when they unfortunately encountered an extremely complex and bizarre illusionary formation.

In an instant, the surrounding scenery became blurry, making it difficult to discern directions. Trapped in the formation, everyone stumbled around like headless flies, spending several days in this dizzy and disoriented state.

Not only did they fail to find a way to break the formation, but they also felt increasingly dizzy and their consciousness gradually became confused.

Gu Shihan was slightly startled. She stopped and calmed down, saying, "This is a natural time formation. It requires a specific time. We can only break through the formation by finding that specific time point."

I've consulted the ancient texts; the full moon is in three days. Perhaps the night of the full moon will be the time to break the formation. Now, let's stop wandering around like headless flies. The spiritual energy here is abundant; let's all meditate and cultivate."

"Shi Han, are you sure?!" Duan Siqi asked.

Gu Shihhan thought for a moment and said, "I can confirm that this is a time-based formation, but I'm not sure if the full moon is the key to breaking it. However, we can give it a try! Based on my past experience and my perception, I should be right!"
Three days passed quietly. When the moon was high in the sky, Gu Shihan noticed a beam of light shining on a boulder, revealing three white spots on the rock.
Gu Shihan took out three immortal spirit stones and threw them at the spot of light.

With a deafening roar, the boulder shattered into dust, revealing a hole in front of everyone.

Gu Shihan waved his hand and said, "Hurry up! This cave entrance will close in thirty breaths!"

The nine people descended to the cave entrance one by one, and in the blink of an eye, they were on the summit of Xunxian Peak.

"We've made it out? Shi Han, I didn't expect your array formation skills to become so advanced. But now that we're on the mountaintop, which way should we descend?" Nangong Yi asked, looking around.

"Whatever! We're not familiar with this place anyway! It doesn't really matter where you get off. Shi Han, you're lucky, why don't you choose the direction?" Wen Xin said with a smile.

Gu Shihan smiled and looked at Shi Qinghan, asking, "Big brother, which side do you prefer?"

"Girl, why are you asking me? My favorite thing is sunshine!"

"Sunshine? Who wouldn't like it?" Everyone laughed and agreed.

Finally, everyone decided to descend the mountain from the side where the sun rises. The path down the mountain was not peaceful, and after only half an hour, they were attacked by a swarm of spirit bees.

These bees are enormous, and their stingers gleam with a cold light, clearly indicating they are highly venomous. If you were stung, you'd be lucky to escape with your skin intact!
