Chapter 2897

The result surprised everyone, and Fang Zhuo’s always indifferent complexion also changed drastically.

Because less than ten breaths after he finished setting up the formation, that piece of void distorted again, and then returned to its original appearance. Gong Yue’s figure was revealed, with a few formation flags in his hand, which were obviously the ones Fang Zhuo had previously inserted into the void.

He only spent ten breaths to break Fang Zhuo’s formation, and his profound attainments in the way of formations were evident.

Gong Yue stood smilingly in the void, giving people a sense of unfathomability, and said, “The Small Universe Reversal Formation. There is no major problem with this friend’s formation method, but the refining of these formation flags is a bit rough and cannot exert all its power. If it can be refined again, the power can be increased a lot.”

As he spoke, he threw those formation flags to Fang Zhuo.

Fang Zhuo caught them, lowered his head and seriously thought for a while, and then solemnly clasped his fists to thank Gong Yue for his guidance.

Yang Tai laughed heartily and said, “Brother Gong’s attainments in the way of array are truly superb, which is really eye-opening. It is really a great fortune for us to have Brother Gong’s help on this trip.” He turned his head and looked at Yang Kai and said, “Little Brother Yang Jiu, do you have any more questions? If so, ask them all at once.”

Yang Kai shook his head and said, “No.”

Yang Tai said, “If that’s the case, then everyone should have no objection to Brother Gong’s go along, right?

After experiencing what happened just now, naturally no one had any more objections. Originally, everyone was quite happy to have someone like Gong Yue’s help. It was just that the question raised by Yang Kai made people have to pay attention, so they tried every means to verify Gong Yue’s identity. Now that Gong Yue’s reputation as a array master is well-deserved and he is also carrying the golden signboard of the Gong family in Tianhe Valley, naturally it makes people feel very relieved, and no one doubts him anymore.”

Wu Kuangyi even glared at Yang Kai fiercely, probably feeling that he was making a mountain out of a molehill and causing him to make a wrong judgment.”

Yang Kai’s lateness had already made him have a bad impression of him, and now his impression was even worse. If it weren’t for the agreement made earlier, I’m afraid he would have driven Yang Kai away.”

Since everyone had no objection, this matter was naturally settled like this. And Yang Tai who had invited such a powerful helper as Gong Yue, seemed to have leaped up and become the leader of this small group, enthusiastically greeting everyone to start on their way.”

The Southern Marsh is vast, and the gathering place agreed upon by everyone is far away from the location of that ancient cave, probably taking three or four days to arrive.

The seven Emperor Senior Stage experts traveled together, flying all the way. Their auras spread far and wide, and there were no fierce beasts that dared to show their heads at will. Gong Yue and Yang Tai led the way in front, chatting enthusiastically. They seemed to have a very close friendship and would burst into hearty laughter from time to time.

The woman named Bingru Shen was in the middle with Wu Kuangyi and Fang Zhuo. Yang Kai and Hua Yulu brought up the rear and were excluded by them intentionally or unintentionally, which inevitably made Hua Yulu a little worried.

Among the team, except for the leading Yang Tai and Gong Yue chatting loudly, the others were all silent.

Yang Kai used his mind for two purposes. While following everyone on the road, he was also digesting the gains from his experience in the Thousand Illusion Dream Realm. All the experiences in the Thousand Illusion Dream Realm were extremely precious treasures and the cornerstones on the path of growth, especially the knowledge inheritance obtained from Qing and what he saw and heard in the Wu Divine Palace.

Hua Yulu wanted to talk to Yang Kai several times, but seeing his appearance of rejecting people thousands of miles away, she didn’t have the nerve to disturb him too much. After all, she wasn’t very familiar with Yang Kai. They had only met a few times and didn’t have a deep friendship.

Among the seven people present, only she was extremely uneasy about this treasure hunt. The others were all in pairs, but Yang Kai ignored her completely. If there was really a conflict when the treasure was found, she didn’t know how much Yang Kai could help her.

She even vaguely regretted coming here again. If she had known earlier, she would rather give up this opportunity and not take this risk.

Time passed in her state of being worried about gains and losses.

The seven Emperor Senior Realm cultivators shuttled through the poisonous miasma in the Southern Marsh for a full four days before the leading Yang Tai suddenly stopped. Wu Kuangyi’s expression perked up, and an expectant look appeared on his face.

“Have we arrived？” Gong Yue asked curiously. Looking around, he didn’t see anything special.

Yang Kai also gathered his thoughts and looked around. Like Gong Yue, he didn’t see anything strange, but the large area of poisonous miasma in front of him caught his attention.

The Southern Marsh was full of poisonous miasma everywhere. The seven of them had been shuttling through the poisonous miasma for the past few days. However, everyone had cultivation bases and had a rather strong resistance to the poisonous miasma so there was no serious problem.

But the poisonous miasma in front was obviously a bit different. Yang Kai actually felt a hint of danger from it, as if there was a risk of death if he really rushed in.

Just as he was about to release his spiritual thoughts to investigate, Hua Yulu hurriedly came over and whispered beside him, “Be careful, the toxicity of that poisonous miasma is very strong.”

A fragrant breeze immediately lingered around Yang Kai, making his nose itchy. He nodded slightly, and Hua Yulu suddenly realized, blushing shyly and taking two steps back.

Yang Tai said in a timely manner: “We’re here. The ancient cave is hidden within this expanse of poisonous miasma. But the toxicity of this miasma is so strong that even us Emperor Venerable Realm cultivators can’t resist it. So everyone must not be rash.

To prove that what he said was true, he suddenly raised his hand and launched a streak of attack like a flowing ribbon towards the poisonous miasma in front.

When the light flashed the poisonous miasma was instantly split into a blank area more than thirty zhang long. And in the middle of that blank area, there was a completely blackened skeleton lying on the marshy grass. Judging from the situation, it seemed to have been dead for a long time.

Speaking of which, when we discovered that cave last time, there were four of us, and there was also a brother at the second level of the Emperor Venerable Realm. But as you can see, he is now lying there.” Yang Tai pointed at the skeleton and said with a smile.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Bingru’s pretty face changed color, and Fang Zhuo, who had been remaining calm, also twitched his face.

Just looking at the state of that skeleton, everyone thought that this person had been dead for a long time. But after hearing Yang Tai’s words, they realized that this person had only died half a year ago. However, because the toxin of the poisonous miasma was too strong, it had caused some unexpected changes to the bones.

As for the cause of death, there was no need for Yang Tai to say more for everyone to guess.

Even a two-layered Emperor Venerable couldn’t resist the erosion of that poisonous barrier, showing the degree of danger within. The world is so vast that there are all kinds of strange things. In the face of the fierce power of heaven and earth, the power of an individual, no matter how strong, sometimes seems tiny.

And after Yang Tai’s voice fell, the poisonous barrier that was separated by his attack fiercely closed in towards the middle again, returning to its original state in the blink of an eye, as if there was a mysterious force making this poisonous barrier continue, blocking the pace of everyone’s exploration forward.

Gong Yue slightly frowned and exclaimed in surprise, “What a strong toxicity. With this poisonous barrier blocking the way, how did you get into that cave last time, Brother Yang？”

Yang Tai smiled and said, “It’s a coincidence. All things are born and restrained by each other. Although this poisonous barrier is strong, there happens to be something here that can restrain it, just like where there are poisonous snakes, there must be good medicine for detoxification. Well, everyone will know when the time comes.”

He played a trick and didn’t explain too much. Gong Yue just smiled slightly and didn’t take it to heart.

“We came at just the right time. Tonight everyone can go in, so take the opportunity to rest quickly. I don’t know what kind of danger there is in that ancient cave. It’s better to be fully rested to deal with it.”

Naturally, no one had any objection to his words, and immediately each person looked for a place to sit cross-legged and rest.

Hua Yulu naturally stayed with Yang Kai. She took out two spirit pills and swallowed them. Although she was a First-Order Emperor, she wouldn’t have any major problems even if she rushed for a few days at full speed. But staying in this environment filled with poisonous miasma all the time, the consumption of her Emperor Yuan was still very serious. Naturally, she had to take the opportunity to recover a bit.

The others were also like this.

Yang Kai suddenly raised his head and said, “Patriarch Gong, you have wide knowledge and experience. I have something to ask you.”

Gong Yue was observing something in all directions. Hearing this, he turned his head and looked at Yang Kai, smiling and saying, “I don’t dare to claim to have wide knowledge and experience. It’s just that I have lived a little longer. I don’t know what little brother wants to ask？ If I know, I will definitely tell you one or two things.”

Yang Kai said, “It’s like this. I have a friend who got a Time Fruit. I don’t know how to take it to maximize its medicinal effect？”

“Time Fruit？” Yang Tai’s eyes lit up when he heard this, and he stared at Yang Kai with burning eyes and said, “That Time Fruit that can prolong life？”

“Exactly！” Yang Kai nodded.

Yang Tai’s eyes became even brighter. He was a First-Order Emperor with a long lifespan, but he couldn’t resist the erosion of time. In other words, he was already old, but he still hadn’t lived enough. In the past hundred years, he hadn’t been obsessed with cultivating anything. He had been intent on finding a way to live longer. The efforts of a hundred years had indeed had some effects, allowing him to increase his lifespan a lot. But he had tried all the ordinary methods and spirit pills and medicines, and they no longer worked on him.

The reason why he risked coming to this South Marsh Region was to look for some natural treasures that could prolong his life, and that’s how he and Hua Yulu and the others accidentally discovered the existence of that ancient cave.

At this moment, upon hearing Yang Kai mention the Age-Prolonging Fruit, he was naturally very excited.

Of course he had heard of the Age-Prolonging Fruit, and it was of great use to him, so it was inevitable that he would care somewhat.

“The Age-Prolonging Fruit is a good thing.” Gong Yue stroked his beard and smiled. “But I’m afraid you’ve asked the wrong person, little brother. Gong is focused on the way of array formation. and is not proficient in elixirs and the like. So regarding this age-Prolonging Fruit other than suggesting that you ask someone to refine it into a pill, Gong doesn’t have a better method.”

Yang Kai deeply agreed and said： “It seems that can only be the case. However, to refine the Age-Prolonging Fruit into a pill, it requires a Emperor Dan Master to take action. But to ask a Emperor Dan Master to refine a pill…”

Everyone knows how difficult it is to ask a Emperor Dan Master to refine a pill. Even if one prepares enough materials and remuneration, without the right path it’s normal to wait for several years or even a dozen years before it’s one’s turn.

Gong Yue smiled slightly： “I hope your friend isn’t in a hurry to need it.”

“He’s still very young and not in a hurry.” Yang Kai also smiled.

“That’s good.” Gong Yue didn’t say more and turned around to continue observing the poisonous barrier in front, his expression as usual.
