Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 404 - 197: See Yang Dan Again_2

"Moreover, with Chen Yi going, he would at least be able to maintain control of a covert, Third Tier spiritual veins stronghold. Who knows, when it comes time for him to perform Core Formation, he might encounter such a place too.

On the road,

Chen Yi released fluctuations of Foundation Establishment peak-level Mana, capable of driving away most of the Demon Beasts,

Two days later,

Chen Yi brought Yang Hui to a calm lake. In the depths of the lake, some ten miles from the shore, there was a small foggy island.

Chen Yi held the Flying Boat mid-air, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Under his observation, he noticed two Quasi-third tier Demon Beasts hidden within the lake. The Daoist rhymes they emitted had reached a purple-red hue,

This posed somewhat of a threat to Chen Yi.

"Brother Tan Feng, what's the matter?"

Chen Yi's face was grave, "Little Hui, are you sure your sister is here? From my observation, there are two Quasi-third tier Demon Beasts hidden in this lake. Their strength is probably only slightly weaker than a Pseudo-core Cultivator."

Hearing this, Yang Hui's face turned pale,

"Brother Tan Feng, it is indeed here.

If you think it's dangerous, just drop me here, and wait. Uncle Yang will come soon, he will protect me."

Chen Yi stared intently towards the island for a moment,

There was an undispersed spiritual charm on the island, similar to spiritual veins, yet not completely the same,

It could perhaps be a hidden Spirit Array,

It was said that in the olden days of the Immortal Cultivation World, when many capable juniors broke through, they didn't need to specifically look for spiritual veins. They would instead design a Spirit Array and draw into it all the spiritual energy from several hundred miles around,

They would use this to provide a Spiritual Land for one time breakthrough,

This place gave Chen Yi a similar feeling to that kind of one-use-only Spiritual Land,

If it really was the case, then once the spiritual energy in this array got exhausted, it was unknown how many years it will take before it can be used again,

Chen Yi estimated that by the time he'd have to conduct his Core Formation, this place might not be available for use anymore.

In addition, conducting a Core Formation with the spiritual energy of this array was after all, not as abundant and steady as with spiritual veins,

It was indeed a last resort. This place placed very high demands on the Essence, Qi and Spirit state of those forming their core here,

Unless there was no other choice, a normal person would not choose such a place for Core Formation,

It seemed that the Yang Family was forced to make do with whatever they had and chose this place.

Following that, Chen Yi probed the state of the spiritual energy inside,

He found that the person on the island had not yet begun their real process of Core Formation, instead, they seemed to be adjusting their state.

In this way, Chen Yi understood that cultivators at the peak of Foundation Establishment usually needed a few months to adjust their state, making it peak among peaks before attempting Core Formation. Especially because this place did not have a normal Third Tier spiritual vein, but a preserved Spirit Array.

Compared to the man who attempted Core Formation on Mount Wangyue in the past, this seemed like a fool's errand.

At this moment, in the center of the island,

Yang Dan was adjusting her state while simultaneously nervously looking in the direction of the Demon Territory.

"Aunt Qin, I don't know how it is outside, whether my brother is safe. Why isn't there any news?"

Hearing this, a woman in a yellow-white luxurious dress gently consoled:

"Little Dan, don't think too much. The master knows what he's doing. At this time, the Yang Family's defensive array should still be holding up. You'd better concentrate on adjusting your state,

Who knows, you might be able to rush back to help after Core Formation."

Aunt Qin was a maid when Yang Dingtian was young. Later, due to her own good fortune, she coincidentally formed a Pseudo-core and secretly helped Yang Dingtian manage the internal affairs of the Yang Family,

Now that Yang Dan is hiding in the Demon Territory to form her core, Aunt Qin came out to secretly protect her.

Just at this moment, a Mana fluctuation suddenly came from outside the island,

Aunt Qin released her Divine Sense to check, her face brightened up,

A young man was seen running frantically from the lake towards the center of the island, with three Second Tier mid-phase Demon Beasts chasing after him,

Looking at the young man's appearance, if it wasn't Yang Hui, who else could it be?

"Shi!

Aunt Qin yelled sharply, a Sword Light swung out,

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The three Second Tier mid-phase Demon Beasts, a thousand feet away chasing after Yang Hui, instantly got their bodies pierced through, two of them died on the spot, and the other broke away and fled!

"Little Hui, how did you come all by yourself? Where is Uncle Yang?

Little Dan, come out quickly, your brother is here!"

Aunt Qin used her white silk ribbon magical instrument to receive Yang Hui from a distance, carefully checking him up and down for any injuries while speaking quickly.

"Aunt Qin, I'm fine.

Ah! Sister, I'm okay, no injuries, these are just minor surface wounds.

And what about Big Brother Tan Feng!

You guys should go help him!"

Yang Hui's complexion was extremely pale, with the color of terror had not completely faded, he felt somewhat surprised seeing Qin Qin and his sister.

Then he thought of something, his complexion changed once again, urging Aunt Qin to go outside and rescue others.

Several breaths later, after Yang Hui's rapid explanation,

Aunt Qin and Yang Dan understood that an accident had occurred with the Array Method in Wangyue City.

They didn't know who had brought out an Earth Dragon Talisman and directly changed the trend of the third tier spiritual veins of Wangyue Mountain, causing the defensive array to break more than ten days in advance.

The family ancestor had to take action early, suppressing and killing the Qi Family's newly promoted Core Forming Cultivator.

Although they won, the Yang Family's plan was disrupted, the family ancestor consumed a huge amount of Mana and had no strength to take action again.

Moreover, under the revelation of the traitor Shi Yuanzhen,

The cultivators who were besieging the Yang Family outside all found out that Yang Dan was not at the Yang Family, and they all came out to search for her.

Yang Hui encountered Loose Cultivator Pseudo core Zhao Jingwu on the way escorted by Yang Shenghu, and they started fighting,

At this time, "Quasi Brother-in-law", who was concerned about Yang Dan, Tan Feng, appeared and escorted Yang Hui here.

And outside the island, he used himself as bait, alone attracting the attention of two quasi-third tier Demon Beasts,

Which secured Yang Hui's safe arrival on the Heartlake Island.

Almost at the same time,

On the surface of the lake outside the island, a man in white robes was fleeing towards the island in a disheveled manner,

Looking from afar, it was Tan Feng!

Seeing this, Aunt Qin quickly took action to scare away the two quasi-third tier Demon Beasts and brought Tan Feng to the island.

Yang Dan, who had never regarded Tan Feng highly, looked at Tan Feng at this moment with a surprised expression:

"Thank you, Mr. Tan, for saving my brother's life, I... owe you one."

"Haha, being able to share your worries is my great honor. We are all a family and there's no need to talk about debts, it's all what I'm supposed to do, hahaha."

With a look of exhaustion on his face and several wounds on his body, along with a few cuts on his robe, he pretended to have narrowly survived the Demon Beast's attack. Imitating the words of Tan Feng from his memory, he greeted Yang Dan.

This was Chen Yi's first meeting with Yang Dan in nearly seventy years,

Back then, when Chen Yi was at the peak of Qi Cultivation, Yang Dan was already a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator,

Now, while Chen Yi had reached the peak of Foundation Establishment in body refining, Yang Dan was preparing for Core Formation, and thus the two had a complex relationship.

Yang Dan looked at Tan Feng, who she usually found incredibly annoying, but couldn't find it in her to dislike him today as he was so talkative in front of her,

"Who would have thought, in this situation, Mr. Tan has proven even more reliable than my own family members,"

"Adversity reveals true feelings, Mr. Tan, if it's convenient, please stay on this land,"

"After I have formed my core, I will certainly thank you."

Yang Dan insisted that Chen Yi does not leave, fearing that if Chen Yi leaves, there will be an accident, and more people will come to disturb her Core Formation,

Moreover, if Chen Yi stayed here, he could help block one or two attackers if enemies dared to come.

Chen Yi nodded in response.

At this point, Yang Dan saw that her brother was safe and sound, and learned that the family ancestor's life was not in danger, her last worry was lifted,

She entered the Spirit Array and began to quickly adjust her mood, preparing to make a full effort to reach Core Formation.

Five days later,

A large amount of Spiritual Mist suddenly appeared and gradually formed a cyclone within the Spirit Array on the island,

At the same time, all the spiritual energy within the water of the entire lake began to converge on the Heartlake Island.

Chen Yi realized that this Heartlake Island and the entire lake were part of this Spirit Array. When in use, it would gather spiritual energy for the center so that the spiritual energy in the central array method would temporarily reach the level of third tier Spiritual Veins.

Chen Yi, Yang Hui, and Aunt Qin kept vigil outside the Array Method,

Observing Yang Dan's Core Formation state and momentum, Chen Yi estimated that it was at least a High-grade True Core, with a small chance of becoming a Golden Core.

Chen Yi felt a little strange about this,

He originally intended to disrupt Yang Dan's Core Formation, but due to twists and turns, he ended up protecting her during the process.
