Mortal: Fairy Song Yu has issued you a task.

Chapter 129 Slaying the Core Formation Core Again

The cultivator surnamed Kong waited for only a short while above the sea cliff before the water below broke open again. Elder Yu appeared in a flash of light.

Although Elder Yu's face remained calm, the slight upturn of his lips and the hint of joy deep in his eyes betrayed his excellent mood.

He was overjoyed to have acquired such a rare treasure as the Pearl of the Spiritual Eye so easily.

"Let's go back to Kuixing Island." Elder Yu flicked his sleeve, and a blue light enveloped the two of them before they soared into the sky and disappeared into the horizon.

The cultivator surnamed Kong was carried away by the escape light, his mind racing. Elder Yu had already obtained the Spirit Eye Pearl, the matter was settled, and it was time to completely eliminate any future troubles.

"Uncle-Master, I just realized that Lin Jingchu, having failed in his ambush of a fellow disciple, probably won't be returning to Kui Xing Island. Should we have the sect issue an arrest warrant?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Yu stroked his long beard and casually said, "Hmm—that makes sense. However, this matter won't alarm the sect's higher-ups, so this arrest warrant is just for show, better than nothing."

The cultivator surnamed Kong quickly flattered, "Uncle-Master is right. However, with this arrest warrant in place, at least it will make it difficult for Lin Jingchu to move an inch in the Southwest Sea, which can be considered as upholding the sect's rules."

Elder Yu gave a noncommittal "hmm," and his escape light sped straight towards Kui Xing Island.

However, not long after they flew away, the cultivator surnamed Kong suddenly pointed to a blurry figure at the horizon where the sea met the sky and exclaimed, "Uncle-Master, stop! It looks like Lin Jingchu!"

The blue light suddenly vanished, and Elder Yu and the cultivator surnamed Kong stood in mid-air.

The cultivator surnamed Kong narrowed his eyes and saw that the blurry figure on the horizon was a cultivator wearing a green robe and riding a green feather boat. The two wings on both sides of the boat were slightly spread, and it was speeding away.

"It's him, it's him!" The monk surnamed Kong exclaimed, his hands and heart trembling with excitement.

"That unique flying boat is Lin Jingchu's flying artifact!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Yu smiled slightly and said casually, as if he were crushing an ant, "Wait here for a moment."

Having said that, the blue light shone again, shooting straight towards the azure figure on the horizon like a shooting star.

The cyan figure seemed to have sensed something was wrong. The wings of the cyan boat instantly spread out completely, transforming into a streak of cyan rainbow as it frantically fled in one direction.

The speed it unleashed was simply beyond the reach of a normal Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Elder Yu noticed this, but did not speed up his escape, continuing to pursue at his normal speed. However, the escape speed of a Core Formation cultivator is difficult to match even if a Foundation Establishment cultivator increases it several times over.

In the chase, the distance between the two sides rapidly closed.

"You're quite fast," Elder Yu said with a loud laugh as he watched the blue-robed cultivator he was about to catch up with.

The monk in blue robes kept looking back in a panic, then he made a hand seal, and blood-red light emanated from his body.

"You want to live even if you burn your life essence? Junior, don't struggle—" Elder Yu's words were cut short—

The blue-robed cultivator instantly exploded into a wave, reappearing a hundred feet away. Before Elder Yu could react, the blue figure transformed into another wave, appearing even further away.

"What kind of secret technique is this? How can you escape to a place ten miles away in just a few breaths?" This scene even made Elder Yu's escape light pause for a moment.

Fortunately, the secret technique didn't seem to last long and had stopped, without escaping the range of his divine sense.

"Haha, today's opportunities are truly unstoppable. I obtained the Spirit Eye Pearl, and now I've encountered a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator who can use such a stealth technique."

In his excitement, he sped up his escape and chased after the direction in which the blue figure had disappeared.

A moment later, a blue beam of light suddenly fell from the sky above a deserted island, blocking the path in front of the green boat.

"Young man, hand over the secret technique, and I may spare your corpse." Elder Yu stroked his long beard and smiled as he looked at the green-robed cultivator opposite him.

Upon hearing this, Lin Jingchu laughed and said, "You want this secret technique? Then I'll humbly ask you for something, sir. Could you give me your head?" Before he finished speaking, he once again dispersed into waves and reappeared a hundred feet away.

"A sharp-tongued bastard!" Elder Yu's face turned cold, and he was about to activate his escape light to rush over and capture him—

Suddenly, five-colored spiritual light rose up all around, enveloping him and the entire deserted island.

Inverted Five Elements Formation, activate!

Elder Yu felt a chill run down his spine, realizing he was trapped in the enemy's grand formation. He raised his blue escape light again, intending to flee. However, his vision blurred, and he found himself in the middle of a turbulent ocean, with towering waves hundreds of feet high crashing down on him.

"What kind of formation is this? To use water-based techniques against me is a grave mistake!" Elder Yu channeled his magic power, preparing to break through the waves—

The next moment, the giant wave instantly transformed into golden swords and spears, pouring down like a torrential rain, forcing him to dodge frantically.

Outside the great formation.

Lin Jingchu glanced at Elder Yu, who was struggling through the formation, then turned to Xiao Jing, who was perched on his shoulder, and whispered, "It's your turn."

The little crystal's antennae tapped lightly.

The next moment, countless black rice grains suddenly emerged from every crevice, under the rocks, and in the sand on the deserted island—millions of Sky Crystal Ants had been waiting there for a long time.

Within the grand formation, Elder Yu's panicked heart gradually calmed down. He realized that although these attacks were impressive, they were merely illusions and had no real power.

However, the situation is still far from optimistic—it will be no easy task for him to break through the formation.

The grand formation then shifted once more. Countless weapons vanished suddenly, the scene changed, transforming into an endless desert, followed by a massive sandstorm.

Elder Yu simply erected a spiritual light shield, keeping the sandstorm a foot away from him.

Then he raised his hand and patted the storage bag at his waist, and a large, short-necked blue treasure bottle flew out.

Just as Elder Yu was about to use his magic weapon to try to break the formation, the thick layer of sand on the spiritual light shield suddenly transformed into countless black crystal ants!

These ants glowed white in Elder Yu's horrified gaze, and the spiritual light shield crumbled as quickly as ice and snow melting away.

With a whoosh, a massive swarm of black flying ants was about to completely engulf him.

"No--!"

Elder Yu struggled frantically, and the blue bottle sprayed out a torrent of water, scattering the swarms of Heavenly Crystal Ants in front of him. However, the ant swarm behind him had already rushed forward, and he could only scream as he fell to the ground.

Lin Jingchu deactivated the Reversed Five Elements Formation and slowly descended from the sky. The black ant swarm on the ground instantly retreated like a tide, revealing a skeleton still draped in a complete robe, and the blue treasure bottle.

"Elder, please don't disappoint me. I wasted several breaths of Thousand Waves Chasing the Current." Lin Jingchu excitedly put the blue treasure bottle into his storage bag, and then took Elder Yu's storage bag into his hand.

The next moment, he took out a milky-white bead the size of a broad bean from his bag—a Spirit Eye Bead—and it was in his hands. With this bead, it wouldn't matter if his spiritual veins were a little weak during cultivation.

Overjoyed, Lin Jingchu made a hand seal and buried the remains of the Three Immortals Sect elder. After all, the elder had gone to great lengths to bring him the Spirit Eye Pearl, so he deserved a proper burial.

Having done all this, Lin Jingchu summoned the Azure Wing Boat, which transformed into a streak of azure light, and returned along the path he had come from—a friend was waiting for him to see him off.
