Chapter 787

Celestial Prison and Dragon Searching Formation

Celestial Prison, blurted Mu Yu, pinpointing that it was not pointless or to trap the elemental demons but for Feng Haochen to turn himself into an inhabitant of this world.

Precisely. Sword Shadow Dust Gale is skilled enough to avoid Divine Executioners radar, start up the cycle of reincarnation and break rules of nature without being detected. That is why he is able to deceive the world into believing he is one of its inhabitants and becoming a key component of protecting its downfall.

I thought Celestial Prison was intended to incarcerate the elemental demons, noted the dragon vine.

No, elemental demons were only held captive in there on a whim. Because the formation opposes the laws of nature, Sword Shadow Dust Gale needed to set himself as the formation foundation in order to make himself part of this world. The formation has actually been active for more than five thousand years and eating away at his cultivation ever since. It was only until around two decades ago that his cultivation alone no longer sufficed. Hence, he sought out four formation casters.

Shifu hasnt realised Bai Jie wants to replace him.

Third Heaven Palace is the administrator of this worlds souls reincarnation location. For millenniums, theyve been maintaining peace in this world. It was only in the last decade, when Bai Jie came around, that their activities have veered off course. Had it not been for Sword Shadow Dust Gales cultivation regression, Bai Jie wouldnt be able to do anything hes doing now.

Have Xie Bulao and Illusionary Clear Rain also become immortals of this world?

No. Theyre only here as Sword Shadow Dust Gales reinforcements. Xie Bulao is an old friend of mine, so I know him well. He doesnt care if the world perishes for he can easily go to another world if this one perishes. He goes wherever Sword Shadow Dust Gale goes.

As Celestial Prison has been dismantled, doesnt that mean my shifu is no like the cornerstone of this worlds safety?

Spot on. He became the ninth immortal of this world through deceiving the laws of nature. Without Celestial Prison, he cant deceive the laws of nature. The fact that this world is still holding up implies that a ninth immortal has replaced him.

That requires a formation trigger. If I dont have a belonging of the immortal, the formation cant work its magic.

Fiend King Green Dragon cracked a smile. Im the inventor of Dragon Searching Formation?

Seeing Mu Yu unleash a barrage of blinks, Fiend King Green Dragon nodded. You mightve guessed it from the name. I invented it long ago to find a second true dragon to no avail. Sword Shadow Dust Gale helped me finish the formation, though he changed it to locate things and people. I guess you can say the formation foundations that represent the five elements is an apt way to imply searching for a specific combination of the five elements.

Theres one thing I dont understand. You dragons evolve once every ten thousand years. Since you know a dragon vine is born when you evolve and then will evolve ten thousand years later, why couldnt you have timed your casting of Dragon Searching Formation?

I tried but failed. I now realise why thanks to witnessing how many decades ahead Eternally Youthful Ku Mu is ahead of me in the formation department. Since Third Heaven Palace was keeping tabs on me, I didnt want to let them know what I was searching for.

Third Heaven Palace still has our race under surveillance. Therefore, they will know where we are once we leave the bog. Fortunately, they dont have a view on you thanks to the Heaven-Shrouding Bloody Guardian Formation cast on you. For that reason, youre the best candidate to search for the immortal. As for the formation trigger, someone with a perfect balance of the five elements in them can work because youre searching for the same type of person. To make up for the limited search radius, you need to do a bit of running around.

Right. So, which one of you will be lending me your body?
