Chapter 896 Absorbing \'immortal qi\'
The lines of the mysterious silver diagram seemed to land precisely on the same spots as the \'Fire-earth spiritual rocks\' that Shun Long had placed earlier, before a thin, transparent barrier of light suddenly surged and enveloped the surrounding area in the blink of an eye.
Staring at the thin, invisible barrier that had now appeared around them almost out of thin air, Xingyi couldn\'t hold back her astonishment as she looked at Shun Long and asked in surprise
\'\'Brother Long, this is a formation, right? What type of formation is it? I\'ve never seen one like this before!\'\'
It seemed that Xingyi had already returned back to her usual spirited mood, as she quickly walked up and stood at the edges of the invisible barrier, before she began to examine it carefully with her eyes.
Even Jiang Chen and Bai Longtian seemed taken aback as they stared at the transparent-looking barrier around them with curiosity in their gazes, before Jiang Chen began to examine the barrier by himself, while Bai Longtian turned his eyes towards Shun Long.
Of course, Shun Long wasn\'t surprised by their reactions in the slightest. After all, he knew that Xingyi came from the Silver mountain\'s Xie family of the Night star continent, while Bai Longtian was the young white lord, the son of the famous \'White lord\', a peak rank 9 Dao King realm expert in the Night star continent.
Naturally, both of them had some basic knowledge regarding formations, so they could immediately tell that there was something peculiar about the formation in front of them.
As for Jiang Chen, how could he, as the son of Jiang Tianfang, a famous late-stage Dao Emperor of the central region, be any inferior to others when it came to basic knowledge regarding formations?
Although Jiang Chen wasn\'t a formation master, he had already been taught plenty of things by his father from a young age, so he could immediately tell that there was something special about this formation that Shun Long had just set up.
Although it looked normal at first glance, Jiang Chen had already noticed that Shun Long hadn\'t used any middle or high-grade spirit stones to power up his formation, yet the formation itself was somehow remaining active.
Seeing that a rare look of curiosity had even appeared in Liu Mei\'s beautiful black eyes as she stared at him, Shun Long grinned before he began to explain
\'\'This is a basic formation called the \'Five-elements protective formation\'. It\'s a simple formation that utilizes the power of the five elements to completely conceal a small area and protect it from outside attacks. Of course, the power of all 5 elements is needed to set up this particular formation. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Although the \'Hundred-fold spirit iron\' only contains the barest traces of wind and water elemental energy, it is actually overflowing with the energy of the metal element, while the \'Fire-earth spiritual rock\' is filled with both fire and earth elemental energies. Although this formation is not perfect, it is more than enough to block out the soul sense of any peak rank 9 Dao King and nullify most of their attacks.\'\'
As he finished speaking Shun Long waved his right hand, before a massive green-colored vine appeared in front of him, causing the ground to tremble from the impact.
The instant that the \'Heaven Swallowing vine\' emerged from the \'Stone of Time\', the surrounding qi in the area began to gather around it at a terrifying rate, quickly forming an enormous vortex above it that was growing larger and larger with every passing second.
This time, Shun Long had not only chosen to take out the \'Heaven Swallowing vine\' from the \'Stone of Time\', but he hadn\'t used any high-grade spirit stones to feed it either, allowing the vine to directly absorb the qi inside the \'City of Immortals\'.
Of course, this wasn\'t a spur-of-the-moment decision; there was an important reason why he had decided to do this.
Although cultivating in the foggy space in the \'Stone of Time\' was normally better, since Shun Long would have an endless supply of pure qi as long as he fed the \'Heaven Swallowing vine\' with enough high-grade spirit stones, things were vastly different now that he was inside the \'City of Immortals\'.
After all, the \'City of Immortals\' didn\'t just have extremely pure qi that was comparable to the qi inside high-grade spirit stones in the first place, but there were also traces of immortal qi mixed with it.
Naturally, immortal qi was something so rare, that it was practically impossible to find anywhere else in the central region, so there was no way that Shun Long would be willing to waste this chance. After all, even the courtyards in the Northern Sovereign\'s estate didn\'t have the slightest traces of immortal qi, making it obvious how rare this thing really was.
Additionally, Shun Long knew that his type of qi that could normally be found only in the \'Immortal Dimension\', was not only useful in tempering the foundations of any Dao King or Dao Emperor realm cultivator, but it would greatly boost their chances when they tried to breakthrough past the Sovereign realm in the future!
...
As seconds quickly turned into minutes, the qi in the surrounding area continued to get sucked into the \'Heaven Swallowing vine\' without any signs of stopping, as the huge vortex in the sky continued to grow larger and larger.
From a distance, the enormous green vine would seem like a starving magic beast that was finally being fed for the first time in a while, as it madly sucked in the surrounding qi in the area before releasing an even purer version of it, but the \'Five-elements protective formation\' that Shun Long had set down completely suppressed those phenomena, making it impossible to discern anything from the outside.
Staring at Xingyi and the others who seemed completely stunned by the scene in front of them, Shun Long didn\'t seem to mind as he sat cross-legged on the ground, before he looked at them and said calmly
\'\'Sit down and make sure to absorb as much of this qi as you can! Try to fill your dantian to the brim with it!\'\'
Without another word, Shun Long then closed his eyes and circulated his \'Monarch\'s Hourglass\', as the invisible figure of an hourglass gradually appeared around him.
Staring at the 27 golden balls of qi above his head, Shun Long knew that it was finally time to breakthrough to the middle stages of the Dao King realm!
