Capítulo 1692: Chapter 1694: Mistakes Don’t Matter If They’re Not Many
At this mont, if soone were to look from above, they would find the entire surface of the Endless Sea boiling and churning non-stop.
The speed of these branches in the water was not slow; in fact, they moved even faster than in the air, comparable to the Blink of a Golden Core Master—the reason was simple: water gives life to wood, and in water, it’s the Redwood Essence’s domain.
However, although the branches surging from the water were extrely fast, they still couldn’t match the speed of the roots erging from the ground.
Therefore, the encirclent strategy of the Redwood Essence had a ti lag.
Feng Jun miscalculated so things, but it didn’t matter; just having this ti difference was enough.
He drew out a Three Suns Fire Talisman and struck at the roots—he could bet that having suffered a loss when its branches were snatched before, the Redwood Essence would definitely not use any binding combat techniques against him.
Sure enough, those roots seed like they were entwining, but in fact, they were coming at him with a lashing motion, precisely getting hit by the Three Suns Fire Talisman.
The Three Suns Fire Talisman is an unusually durable fire talisman. Although its power is slightly inferior to the Blazing Fla Talisman and similar fire talismans, it doesn’t easily extinguish in water, especially when dealing with Wood Elent Spirit Monsters, its adhesion and lethality are extrely strong.
After Feng Jun used the Three Suns Fire Talisman, he took out another talisman, “Water-Fire Talisman!”
This talisman he obtained from the Crimson Pheonix Sect could produce fire in water, also known as the Boiling Sea Talisman. A trace of true fire charm is sealed within, and once activated, it can boil the sea in a radius of hundreds of miles.
In Feng Jun’s original plan, he intended to use this talisman to escape. Later, he planned to replace it with the Vermilion Owl Gel but ended up sticking to his original plan.
Of course, plans can’t keep up with changes; adaptability in battle is the true path.
Anyway, after Feng Jun activated the Water-Fire Talisman, he imdiately exited the Mobile Phone Plane.
The anomaly of his exit from the plane last ti was probably observed to so extent by the Redwood Essence. Fortunately, right after that, its space collapsed, likely leaving it with no ti to ponder this matter.
But this ti, the Redwood Essence had a good chance to observe, and Feng Jun didn’t want it to understand—the Earth’s secret would be in danger if it suddenly guessed that I could freely switch between spaces and use Weimian’s Force to kill.
He didn’t think he was overestimating this monster—it could construct its own space and was familiar with ti techniques, its knowledge was undoubtedly uncommon. Deducing the cause and effect from so phenona shouldn’t be difficult.
So he needed to activate the Water-Fire Talisman as he left, causing chaos in the surrounding sea area to make his escape.
This ti, he didn’t involve any branches or roots from the other party because it wasn’t necessary and definitely wouldn’t fundantally harm the opponent—after all, it had already suffered a loss once, and it doesn’t underestimate a True Immortal like that.
If it’s unnecessary, then better not to do it; instead, it makes him appear more mysterious and unpredictable.
He thought he would leave amidst the chaos, but in fact, he was overthinking it. The Redwood Essence, indeed, used trivial branches and roots to deal with him—those things, though their level wasn’t low, had a massive quantity, and such a barrage, three or five Golden Cores could not endure.
However, the Redwood Essence’s intent firmly locked onto Feng Jun’s aura, and the mont he disappeared, it perceived it, “Hmm, ran away again like this, indeed possessing Space Supernatural Power, no idea where he went.”
Feng Jun made quite a few small mistakes during the battle, while the Redwood Essence stuck to its ideas, not letting others manipulate the rhythm, suggesting that the latter’s strategic planning was relatively successful.
Nonetheless, the Redwood Essence still made a cognitive error—it didn’t expect that the place Feng Jun went after breaking through space had no relationship with the ti flow on the Kunhao Plane!
It reckoned Feng Jun had just left, and it could search for traces nearby. Last ti, when the space shattered, the consciousness it projected was greatly affected, so it failed to find his escape route, but this ti it couldn’t miss it.
If luck was on its side, it might gain insights into the characteristics of his divine abilities and might even deduce the forces behind him.
The Redwood Essence had a thodical approach, even willing to focus briefly on searching and then prioritize its own protection—the priorities couldn’t be reversed.
However, disappointingly, Feng Jun didn’t give it even a second.
As soon as he flashed out of the Water-Fire Talisman’s range, he followed the trail to where Feng Jing and the others were, reaching out inconspicuously to retrieve the Spirit Beast Bag from Teacher i and then glanced at Yan Yuxi.
Yan Yuxi proactively handed a mirror over.
This was the Soulbound Mirror of Truth, originally the Eye of a Golden Core Formation, but after the formation was damaged, only this eye remained. When Yan Yuxi advanced to the high ranks of the Out-of-Cri realm, a Golden Core in her clan bestowed this item for her to use for protection.
The greatest function of this mirror is to break illusions, capable of dispelling all illusions below the Golden Core Realm. However, regrettably, its use is directional, inevitably leaving sothing to be desired.
After breaking illusions cos soul-binding, as long as the direction is correct, the light of breaking illusion can temporarily bind the soul of the caster—ensuring that the one casting illusions cannot easily escape.
This effect remains sowhat redundant: if you know where the illusion caster is, you can directly attack; why bother using the mirror? Therefore, it can only be used in specific environnts.
Furthermore, using the Soulbound Mirror of Truth isn’t cheap at all.
That’s right, this mirror isn’t driven by the cultivator’s cultivation, but by Spirit Stones—and they must be of interdiate grade.
One Illusion Breaking Light costs a third of an interdiate-grade Spirit Stone.
But for Yan Yuxi, being able to use Spirit Stones is perfect, because using spiritual energy, she wouldn’t be able to power this array core at all. Even the Golden Core Master who gifted her this item, although at mid-stage Golden Core, found it quite challenging to power this treasure.
The usage conditions of this mirror are quite strange, but at this mont, it’s extrely suitable.
Through 200 li of mist, Feng Jun can’t lock onto the Redwood Sprite’s true form, but beside him is a Big Boss, who had already set up a Spatial Anchor Position.
Upon receiving the mirror, Feng Jun casually took out an interdiate-grade Spirit Stone and placed it into the slot—Yan Yuxi did have so interdiate-grade Spirit Stones on her, though not many, about a dozen.
However, Feng Jun declined her Spirit Stones, “I have tens of thousands of interdiate-grade Spirit Stones; you should save yours for any unforeseen needs.”
The appearance of an interdiate-grade Spirit Stone imdiately altered the spiritual energy in the surroundings. Suddenly, Feng Jun raised his hand, and a white beam from the mirror blasted open a white pathway through the mist.
And at the end of the pathway stood a small tree just over two ters tall, with few branches and leaves, and although it appeared rather sturdy, it always gave the impression of being “too wind-blown.”
Yet, this inconspicuous little tree was the true body of that True Immortal.
The Redwood Sprite hadn’t yet figured out how long to search vigorously for Feng Jun, when suddenly it sensed a restrictive law appearing on its true body, terrifying it, “You little thief… how audacious!”
The soul-binding power of the mirror could only immobilize a Golden Core; technically, it wouldn’t work on a Nascent Soul level Redwood Sprite. However, this sudden event truly caught the Redwood Sprite off guard, with maximum surprise.
“But that’s as far as it goes,” it sensed the Illusion Breaking Light coming from approximately 200 li and thought to itself, I can shake off the soul-binding influence in less than a breath; let see how you can charge through this 200 li in such a short ti.
As long as it kept its distance and wasn’t threatened by space supernatural powers, it believed its countless branches and roots could utterly crush the opponent with its “Wood Sea Tactics.”
However, right then, Feng Jun’s body flickered, suddenly appearing right in front of the Redwood Sprite, with a white fox the size of a small dog resting on his shoulder.
This was the lethal move Feng Jun and the Big Boss had planned; they hadn’t intended to bring Yan Yuxi along, let alone expected to encounter Ji Buseng. So why were they confident in seeking vengeance?
The Big Boss knew Feng Jun’s space power, which had the potential for a fatal strike. Therefore, their problem was how to locate the Redwood Sprite’s true form and approach it unknowingly.
Finding it wasn’t a big issue; it could be done slowly. Approaching the Redwood Sprite’s true body was the main challenge—the final blow would have to rely on Feng Jun.
However, the Big Boss pointed out that Spatial Anchors are not just for positioning; they can also facilitate travel or rest. As long as the anchor could be set, one could instantly reach a relatively close distance.
How close? This depends on one’s cultivation level, but there is always a limit. If it’s too far, the anchor could only serve as a locator, not allowing instantaneous travel.
The anchor on the Redwood Sprite was relatively weak, limiting the blink distance to around four or five hundred li, beyond which it wouldn’t work.
The combined effect of the Spatial Anchor’s blink and Feng Jun’s space power was the general plan they devised, with details to be refined further.
For example, Feng Jun first went outside to attract the Redwood Sprite’s attention—this was part of perfecting the details.
However, using a Spatial Anchor had its drawbacks. The Big Boss currently lacked the ability to precisely deliver Feng Jun to a designated position, so Xiao Bai had to handle it.
Comparatively, Yan Yuxi’s Soulbound Mirror of Truth was not a particularly strong supplent. The mirror’s Illusion Breaking Light only covered 200 li, forcing the four to take a big risk by coming so close.
But even if not strong, it still had so effect, just like the Vermilion Owl Gel provided by Ji Buseng, which Feng Jun didn’t use at all, but that doesn’t an their help wasn’t needed.
Xiao Bai imdiately had a Golden Core aura upon exiting the Spirit Beast Bag. However, since it only needed to blink throw Feng Jun, it didn’t need to enlarge its body, so it ca directly to the Redwood Sprite, perched on his shoulder.
Seeing Feng Jun appear before it, the Redwood Sprite was scared out of its wits, “Stop, I have sothing to say…”
Xiao Bai completely ignored it, raising its paw and using a talisman to cast the Paralysis Technique!
In Ten Directions’ cultivators were already suffering unbearably fifteen li away. The commotion here suddenly invigorated many spirits, “What’s going on?”
