Long River Eternity

The two of them streaked across the sky like meteors and rushed towards the entrance of the spirit summoning formation.

As we got closer to the entrance, the surrounding air seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mysterious gauze, and wisps of chaotic energy began to appear faintly in the air.

"This... is Chaos Qi?" Feng Hao keenly sensed the strange aura flowing around him. His face was filled with surprise and suspicion, his voice trembling slightly as he spoke excitedly, "This place is several kilometers away from the entrance. How could Chaos Qi appear here? Could it be that Brother Lin has already emerged from his retreat?"

Feng Xi frowned slightly, his eyes deep, and said in a deep voice: "No, in my opinion, this should be the chaotic energy that overflowed from Brother Lin's cultivation. This shows that Brother Lin has not broken through to the Domination Realm.

Feng Hao looked puzzled and asked, "Why do you think so?"

Feng Xi then spoke calmly, "That day, Brother Lin and I entered the Spirit Summoning Formation together to practice diligently.

When he began to practice, the chaotic energy in his body began to overflow continuously like a broken dam.

As my cultivation deepened, the overflowing Chaos grew like a surging wave, ever more powerful. I was forced to emerge early from the Spirit Summoning Formation, forced to endure the dense, almost tangible Chaos Energy.

According to Brother Lin, when he absorbs all the chaotic energy that has leaked out back into his body, that will be the time when he successfully breaks through to the Domination Realm.

When I left, the Chaos Qi within the Soul Summoning Formation was already incredibly dense, but outside the formation, it only extended to a mere hundred meters. Who could have predicted that within just a few days, traces of Chaos Qi would appear several kilometers away?

The two chatted as they soared forward. After flying for a while, they were only one kilometer away from the entrance to the spirit summoning formation.

Feng Hao finally understood the mystery after hearing this. He looked around and said, "I see. Fortunately, the chaotic energy outside is relatively thin and will not cause any harm to people.

But from here on, the concentration of chaotic energy has increased significantly, and it will already have a negative impact on people. And the further you go, the more its concentration rises."

Feng Xi and Feng Hao were surrounded by chaotic energy. Feng Xi's physical body was far inferior to Feng Hao's.

At this moment, a layer of faint light was already lingering around him. The light was as soft as a veil, and it was doing its best to resist the invasion of the chaotic energy around him.

He frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "Based on the current rate of increase, the concentration of chaotic energy within a hundred meters around the entrance is already comparable to the concentration in the spirit summoning formation at that time.

It’s hard to imagine what kind of amazing scene is inside the Soul Summoning Formation right now. With my physical strength, I’m afraid I can’t go deep into it with you.”

Feng Hao looked calm and soothing, "It's alright, just wait for me up there. Right now should be the critical period for Brother Lin's breakthrough. I'll go down and talk to him for a few words and then come back up."

The two of them kept walking and soon arrived at the entrance of the spirit summoning formation.

Sure enough, just as Feng Xi said, the chaotic energy here is denser than one could imagine, as if it was a mysterious power gushing out from the ancient abyss.

The thick chaotic energy condensed around, forming a layer of light gray mist, which exuded a hint of danger.

At this moment, a small, exquisite array disc quietly emerged beneath Feng Xi's feet. Runes flickered on the disc, and light shone. The rising waves of soft light enveloped Feng tightly, like an invisible barrier for him, isolating him from the intrusion of the surrounding chaotic energy.

Even Feng Hao, who has a stronger body, couldn't help feeling uncomfortable in the face of such a dense chaotic energy.

The chaotic energy seemed to have transformed into countless invisible hands, tearing at his body from all directions, and every bit of strength brought with it a sharp pain.

Feng Hao didn't dare slack off for a moment, and quickly circulated the energy in his body, letting it flow through his meridians like a stream. As the energy flowed, the tearing sensation brought by the chaotic energy gradually subsided, and his expression gradually returned to calm.

The two walked side by side to the huge tent set up at the entrance, and saw the chaotic energy as thick as ink, which was constantly overflowing from the tent like a substance, surging and diffusing in the air.

Feng Hao raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a slightly teasing smile, and said, "The tent built by Tianshu Pavilion is quite sturdy. It can still hold up until now under the erosion of such a dense chaotic energy. It just looks a bit shabby."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand, prepared to gently push aside the door curtain and step in.

However, just as he touched the tent, it seemed as if some mysterious mechanism was triggered, and the entire tent instantly turned into dust and dissipated quickly in the breeze like a wisp of smoke, disappearing without a trace.

The dark entrance that was originally hidden by the tent was now revealed without reservation.

Endless chaotic energy rushed towards the surroundings like a flood that broke through the dam. Part of it even pounced towards the two of them like a wolf.

"Oh my god!" The two of them exclaimed at the same time, their faces full of panic.

Their feet flew as they retreated desperately, until they were several dozen meters away, and only then did they manage to avoid the sudden spread of the chaotic energy.

Feng Xi shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile, "It seems that this tent has long been corroded by the chaotic energy and is riddled with holes. As long as there is even the slightest touch from an external force, it will immediately turn into ashes."

He looked around and saw that the already thick chaotic energy became even thicker, like an invisible net, covering everything around it.

Feng Hao scratched his head slightly in embarrassment. He frowned as he looked at the chaotic energy that continued to spread outward. "Letting this chaotic energy spread freely like this is not a solution after all. Do you have any formation that can temporarily control this chaotic energy within a certain range?"

Feng Xi thought for a moment and replied, "I do have a solution, but I don't have enough materials on hand right now. I can only set up a simple soul-locking formation to temporarily seal the newly overflowing chaotic energy within a 500-meter radius. I also have no way to recapture the chaotic energy that has already drifted out."

Feng Hao nodded immediately and said, "It's better than nothing. Now the entrance is completely uncovered. If this continues, it won't be long before the entire ten-kilometer radius is enveloped by this chaotic energy, making it impossible for anyone to live here. How about this? You set up the formation up there, and I'll go down and take a look."

"No problem." Feng Xi responded as he took out a few blank yellow talismans from his arms and began to draw on them.

Then, Feng Hao turned into a brilliant stream of light and disappeared into the entrance in front in an instant.

As soon as he stepped into the spirit summoning formation, endless darkness completely swallowed Feng Hao like a surging tide.

At this moment, the entire summoning array was pitch dark, and the thick chaotic energy seemed to have materialized into ink, permeating every inch of space.

The chaotic energy was extremely dense, like a quagmire, hindering Hao's every movement.

Feng Hao felt that every step he took was extremely difficult, and his body felt intense pain as if he was being bitten by thousands of insects and ants. Those invisible "insects and ants" seemed to be trying to drill into his skin and eat his flesh, causing every nerve in his body to tremble in pain.

Feng Hao was well aware of the power of this chaotic energy and did not dare to underestimate it. He did not hesitate to mobilize the energy in his body, pushing it to the extreme, and instantly entered the ultimate state.

As the extreme state was exerted, the third eye on his forehead slowly opened, and a dazzling golden light shot out from his forehead like a sharp sword, instantly dispelling a small area of ​​darkness around him and tearing a hole in this endless darkness.

However, this spirit summoning formation was too empty, and the darkness seemed like a bottomless abyss. No matter how bright the golden light was, there was still endless darkness beyond it.

Even though Feng Hao opened his third eye, he still couldn't see any trace of Lin Ding wherever he looked.

Fortunately, at this moment, Lin Ding's voice sounded around at the right time: "Xiao Hao, you are back?"

Feng Hao heard this and said excitedly: "Brother Lin, I'm back, where are you?"

As soon as Feng Hao finished speaking, he keenly noticed that the chaotic energy on the right was surging like an undercurrent and began to flow rapidly.

He quickly turned his head to look to the right, and saw that the chaotic energy seemed to be split apart by a pair of invisible giant hands, surging and retreating to both sides, slowly forming a passage.

As the chaotic energy dissipated, the darkness that originally filled the space could no longer be seen by Feng Hao's eyes.

In this suddenly clear vision, the tall tower in the center of the spirit summoning formation appeared like a silent giant not far in front of Feng Hao.

At this time, Lin Ding's body was still tightly wrapped in the thick chaotic energy. The chaotic energy condensed together to form a huge black sphere. He was in it, as if he was sealed in a mysterious black giant cocoon.

Feng Hao quickly flew towards the tower, landed in front of the black pupa, and asked softly: "Brother Lin, is that you?"

"It's me. Why are you here? What's the situation outside now? How come there are monsters in Zhongzhou City?" Lin Ding's voice came from the black cocoon, asking.

"I'm not entirely sure of the specific reason. I suspect Captain Sun and his men may have pursued the monster, leaving it with nowhere else to go and forcing it into Zhongzhou City." Feng Hao replied slowly, his expression grave. "Also, tomorrow is the date of our appointment, and Master has gone to Hanzhou alone. Before he left, he was concerned that Beizhou City might be under a fierce attack from the monsters, so he specifically asked me to return for reinforcements."

I've already met with Minister Zhan Tianqiong to explain the situation, but his attitude at the time really worried me. I don't think he'll give his all regarding the Beizhou City incident.

That’s why I came to you to hear your opinion on this matter.”

"So that's how it is. No wonder the minister didn't take action against the monster. It turns out he had already left. How did he respond to you at that time?" Lin Ding frowned slightly and asked with concern.

Feng Hao then briefly recounted to Lin Ding the conversation between them after he met Zhan Tianqiong.
