Mortal: From a Chaotic Star Sea to a True Immortal

I opened my eyes, and a tear rolled down my cheek.

"Really, I never thought I'd get to experience what the old devil went through ahead of time."

Wei Fang wiped away his tears and saw the puppet opposite him sitting there motionless, not knowing how much time had passed.

"I got sand in my eyes. I never imagined I'd be surrounded by a wife and daughter in this illusion."

"It seems the so-called test is over, and I should be able to leave this place now."

Wei Fang carefully bypassed the puppet but noticed that it kept its hand outstretched, as if pointing at something.

A thought struck me.

Wei Fang carefully searched in the direction the finger was pointing.

Before long, a slight fluctuation of spiritual energy was detected on a golden jade pillar. This tiny movement was hidden within the entire spiritually vibrant jade pillar and was generally undetectable by ordinary people.

"Could there be another secret within this jade pillar? Was it there from the beginning? Or did it only appear after I escaped the illusion array?"

Wei Fang pondered silently

"Each of these pavilions has a hidden mechanism, and this one should be no exception. The effects of refining the essence earlier were hardly a gift; I really suffered for it."

"If there's anything left for future generations, it's probably this puppet. But it looks like it's completely integrated with the core formation here, practically half of the formation's core, making it impossible to take away."

Unless the formation here is broken by force, but given Wei Fang's cultivation level, the chances of breaking it are extremely slim.

Wei Fang gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and reached out to touch something.

With a cracking sound, a beam of white light shot down from the top of the pavilion, unleashing a burst of spiritual energy from the northwest corner.

After the spiritual energy dissipated, a strange pattern, only an inch in size, appeared on the ground.

After careful examination, Wei Fang concluded, "This is a teleportation array."

"Judging from its appearance, it should be able to be activated. Could this be a teleportation array to leave this place?"

After thinking for a while, Wei Fang finally decided to activate the formation here.

There was no other reason than that, although they had not encountered any dangerous formations, demonic insects, or murderous intent along the way.

But it's by no means an ordinary place.

If I could leave now, it would be a worthwhile trip.

Although still somewhat unwilling, Wei Fang couldn't help but be extremely cautious about this place after experiencing the illusion.

This place is clearly not suitable for someone with his Core Formation cultivation level; he has no means to deal with any unexpected events that might occur.

Before he knew it, he was pulled into such a dangerous illusion; who knew what awaited him next?

With a flash of spiritual energy, Wei Fang left the pavilion.

In the blink of an eye, the surroundings changed unpredictably, and when he was able to stand up again, he had arrived in a completely different world.

"This place...the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is so rich!"

Wei Fang took a deep breath and felt a refreshing shiver as he sensed the dense, almost liquefied spiritual energy around him.

"The spiritual energy is intoxicating. I never expected to encounter a spiritual aura phenomenon myself. This legendary place where spiritual energy liquefies actually exists."

Fortunately, although the fog here was thick, it was composed of spiritual energy, and apart from the restrictions in the sky, there was no feeling of being restricted in one's divine sense.

"That is..."

Wei Fang used his Swiftness Technique to quickly run towards the location he sensed.

Before long, Wei Fang arrived at a square about a hundred feet in diameter.

As the divine sense probed the area, it was discovered that it was surrounded by six magnificent halls in a ring.

The six main halls are all several tens of feet high and are magnificent.

This place is obviously where valuable treasures are kept.

Wei Fang stared at a huge stone tablet in the square, which was covered with densely packed characters.

Even though Wei Fang had read many miscellaneous books, he still found the translation very difficult.

"Those destined to come here may choose any hall to seek treasure, but what they obtain depends entirely on fate. After obtaining the treasure, they will be instantly teleported to another secret hall. If they fail to obtain the treasure after three days, they will also be teleported out."

"There are two teleportation arrays in that secret hall. The left one allows you to continue your journey, while the right one is a teleportation array to leave this place."

Wei Fang understood the small amount of ancient text from the Chaotic Star Sea, and his spirits lifted.

At least we now have a way to leave.

Looking up and around, the six halls each had a different shape.

Different plaques hang above the main hall.

Unfortunately, Wei Fang couldn't read the characters on it and couldn't understand its contents.

Having already arrived here, Wei Fang had nothing to hesitate about.

I chose one of the two seats directly opposite, slightly to the left, and went inside.

What he found inside left him utterly speechless.

Inside the main hall, two bookshelves were arranged in a categorized manner.

Each and every treasure with its own unique brilliance is displayed there.

At first glance, they appear to be either powerful magical artifacts or extremely rare and precious natural treasures.

Each one was bound by a powerful restriction.

If it weren't for the teleportation array several meters in size right in front of him, Wei Fang would have broken the restrictions on the shelf, taken the treasure, and left.

However, this teleportation array was clearly arranged by the owner of this place, and it was surrounded by three layers of arrays that completely covered the teleportation array.

"The owner of this place must be a master of formations, because everything in the cave is of high quality."

Wei Fang immediately understood the meaning of the place's owner.

"It seems that to obtain the truly rare item, we must break through the outer array."

Since arriving here, Wei Fang has been overwhelmed by the various teleportation arrays set up by the master of the secret realm.

Right now, we're at another teleportation array whose destination is unknown.

But with such amazing treasures around him, rarely seen in the world, Wei Fang would believe that the thing on the other side of the teleportation array was a rare treasure that had long been extinct in the cultivation world.

"This formation is composed of the Yi Wood Azure Flower Formation, the Qian Yuan Earth Covering Formation, and the Rift Light Xun Wave Formation, which wrap around it from the outside in. Breaking through it will be extremely troublesome."

"Fortunately, although these are all ancient and renowned formations, they are not top-tier formations like the Great Five Elements Dragon Trapping Formation. There are many ingenious methods for breaking such trapping formations that have been passed down in the cultivation world. I still have a sliver of hope of breaking them. I just need to think of a way."

Wei Fang's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he began to rapidly calculate, expending his divine sense.

"Although these three great formations are quite famous, they are not particularly powerful killing formations. It seems that the owner of this place is indeed intending to test the younger generation. It's just that time is a bit tight, only three days. I don't know if we'll make it in time."

"This complex formation is now continuously powered by the Qian Yuan Earth Covering Formation, making it absolutely impossible to break through it by force."

"If the remaining two great formations cannot be broken in half an hour, this earth-covering formation will regain its function."

Wei Fang took out the usable items from the storage bag and began searching for materials.

I spent nearly two days rushing to make a set of array plates using the leftover materials from making the array before.

"Time is of the essence, and this is all we can do. Whether it succeeds or not, we'll know after we give it a try."

Wei Fang said to himself, "The first two layers of this formation are made of earth and wood, so we must use metal to break it."

"This hastily made array plate, along with this set of top-grade purple-gold needle magic artifacts as the array core, is somewhat of a stretch. However, if we activate it at full power, the aftershocks of the self-destruction of this array will still create a slight crack. It all depends on whether we can seize the opportunity at the right time."
