Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 1994: Eight Desolations Qiankun Formation
"It is said that the Immortal Pill has spirituality. Seeing it today, it is indeed true! The Immortal Pill sensed the approaching danger and escaped on its own! Haha... Interesting! Interesting!" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
The Star-Picking Scholar did not manage to catch the pill bottle, yet instead of being frustrated, he appeared thrilled and excited. Amidst laughter, his figure turned into a stream of light, pursuing the Thunder Essence Immortal Pill.
Chan Master Lei Yin, Wind Pursuit Taoist, and One-Armed Divine Nun were not willing to lag behind and almost simultaneously chased after the faint trace left by the Thunder Essence Immortal Pill.
The four Half-Immortal Rank powerhouses, unleashing their speed, surpassed the tens of thousands of others within a few breaths, rushing to the front.
With the "escape" of the Thunder Essence Immortal Pill, and the chase of tens of thousands of powerhouses, the area around Burial Artifact Peak instantly became desolate.
"Now the Immortal Pill is an ownerless object, everyone has a chance to get it, let’s go after it too!"
The Flood Dragon Venerable rubbed his hands and said eagerly.
Fang Bai’s Divine Sense enveloped Burial Artifact Peak, observing silently for a moment, then looked at the pitch-black, lightning-filled sky, his gaze revealing a trace of peculiarity. He shook his head and said, "No, we’ll just wait here!"
"Wait here? This..."
The Flood Dragon Venerable said anxiously, "The Thunder Essence Immortal Pill has already slipped away, if we keep waiting, there’ll be nothing left for us!"
Qin Yaorao, knowing Fang Bai well, understood that he would never let go of the Thunder Essence Immortal Pill, but since he said so, he must have his reasons. Feeling a hunch in her heart, she asked, "You mean... the Immortal Pill will come back?"
The moment Qin Yaorao said this, everyone present focused their eyes on Fang Bai’s face.
Fang Bai laughed and said, "Those who know me, it’s indeed Yaorao! That’s right, this Burial Artifact Peak is like water to a fish for the Thunder Essence Immortal Pill..."
Xiao Ying’s eyes turned and she clapped her hands, exclaiming, "I understand... I understand..."
Seeing everyone looking at her, Xiao Ying felt a bit shy, and began to twiddle her sleeves.
"Xiao Ying, what did you understand?"
Fang Bai asked with a smile.
Xiao Ying replied, "The Thunder Essence Immortal Pill needs the lightning-filled environment of Burial Artifact Peak to maintain its spirituality and Immortal Power for a long time. If it stays away for too long, its spirituality and Immortal Power will gradually decay and disappear, eventually becoming an ordinary Spirit Pill."
Fang Bai nodded and said, "Yes, that’s roughly the idea! If it were in the Immortal Realm, filled with Immortal Qi, the Immortal Pill would be fine anywhere. But in the Three Thousand Great Worlds, the Immortal Pill can only ’survive’ in certain specific environments. Just watch, before long, the Thunder Essence Immortal Pill will slip back..."
At this point, he wanted to voice the slight unease he had felt earlier but decided to keep it to himself for now, hoping that his suspicions were wrong.
"So, we’ll just wait patiently here?"
Fairy Xuanbing asked lightly.
Fang Bai nodded, "Exactly."
The Flood Dragon Venerable, seeing Fang Bai’s confident demeanor, scratched his head and said, "Alright, we’ll wait then! Haha, if that Immortal Pill returns, no one else will be here to compete with us, right?"
Fairy Xuanbing gave him a sidelong glance and said coldly, "You’re imagining things! There will always be powerful cultivators who will trace the flight path of the Immortal Pill back. It still won’t be easy for us to get the Immortal Pill!"
"I have a powerful Formation here, called the ’Eight Desolations Qiankun Formation’, perfect for the eight of us to practice together. Once we master it, we can contend with at least one Half-Immortal Rank powerhouse. Then our chances of obtaining the Immortal Pill will be greatly increased!"
Fang Bai predicted that with the Immortal Pill having flown away, it wouldn’t return for at least a thousand breaths. So, during this time, he explained the "Eight Desolations Qiankun Formation" to Fairy Xuanbing and the other seven.
The Eight Desolations Qiankun Formation is an Immortal Rank Formation, integrating both offense and defense, with immense power. Fang Bai explained it simply and quickly twice, then began practicing it with the seven.
All eight of them were outstanding cultivators. After Fang Bai’s explanation, they already had a good understanding, and with several practice sessions under Fang Bai’s guidance, the formation began to take shape.
"This Eight Desolations Qiankun Formation, although hastily practiced, its power far exceeds my expectations! I believe resisting one Half-Immortal Rank powerhouse is already more than enough! No wonder the Palace Master was so confident earlier, carrying such formidable Formation within!"
The Flood Dragon Venerable clucked his tongue in admiration, growing more respectful of Fang Bai.
He knew Fang Bai had significant fortune, possessing Immortal Artifacts and even the Five Elements Space Ring, treasures unheard of. And this formidable Formation they just practiced was surely no ordinary one.
Perhaps only an Immortal Rank Formation could have such power even when formed so hastily?
"Perhaps the Immortal Pill has returned!"
Sensing something, Fang Bai muttered, his gaze looking towards the distant peak.
Then, the Divine Senses of Fairy Xuanbing and the Flood Dragon Venerable also captured a streak of purple light flying from the horizon.
Fang Bai, despite only being at the Seventh Level of Heavenly Tribulation in terms of cultivation, sensed the presence of the Immortal Pill before Fairy Xuanbing and the Flood Dragon Venerable, which secretly astonished them. They thought to themselves that their Palace Master was truly profound and unfathomable, defying common sense.
Afterwards, the relatively weaker Qin Yaorao, Liu Qingqing, Shao Qingyun, Lin Feng, and Xiao Ying detected the streak of purple light as the pill bottle streaked across the sky.
The speed of the pill bottle was beyond comprehension, landing back at the original point at the peak of Burial Artifact Peak within a few breaths, standing still.
After the pill bottle landed, it once again emitted a layer of Thunder Essence Shield, protecting the pill bottle within a ten-zhang radius.
However, the Thunder Essence Shield was much smaller and seemingly weaker than before.
"The four Half-Immortal Rank powerhouses have also returned!"
Fang Bai muttered again.
A few dozen breaths later, four streams of light fell onto the peak of Burial Artifact Peak. Indeed, they were the four Half-Immortal Rank powerhouses: Chan Master Lei Yin, Star-Picking Scholar, Wind Pursuit Taoist, and One-Armed Divine Nun.
It seemed that the four Half-Immortal Rank powerhouses, in their chase after the pill bottle holding the Thunder Essence Immortal Pill, had expended a great deal of Spiritual Energy. Each was panting, having consumed a significant amount of Spiritual Energy.
After landing on the peak, the four Half-Immortal Rank powerhouses immediately sat cross-legged to adjust their breath, but their gaze never left the pill bottle, wary of it slipping away again.
They also realized that after flying a thousand breaths, the pill bottle was also at its limit, making another escape unlikely. They guessed that the reason the pill bottle returned was to absorb the lightning nourishment around Burial Artifact Peak to restore its abilities.
"Oh? Those eight actually didn’t go after the Immortal Pill earlier? Could it be they foresaw that the Immortal Pill would fly back again?"
The Star-Picking Scholars and the other three quickly noticed Fang Bai and his group’s presence, thoroughly astonished.
They were the only ones who hadn’t gone after the Immortal Pill earlier. To think they were capable of such patience.
