I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 368: The Might of Formation Arrays

Just as the mid Gold Core stage cultivator was about to nod in agreement, his brows suddenly furrowed and he looked around. In his hand, he unknowingly held the treasure mirror artifact again.

"How did it suddenly disappear? This shouldn't be happening."

The mid Gold Core stage cultivator spoke up. His divine sense had locked onto Lin Zhidan just now, but suddenly, Lin Zhidan seemed to have disappeared from where he was standing.

What he didn't know was that Lin Zhidan, who was pretending to be asleep, immediately activated a third-grade concealment formation array upon sensing their arrival. At the same time, he exerted all his efforts to conceal himself. With these dual actions, it was not easy for ordinary Gold Core divine senses to detect him in such a short period of time.

"Could it be a trap? I knew I shouldn't have come here. If I had left earlier, nothing would have happened." Another mid Gold Core stage cultivator seemed to be complaining.

"No, if it were a trap, there would probably be Gold Core cultivators here already. In my opinion, it's because our divine senses were too obvious just now, allowing him to discover us. What he's doing now is just his own means. Speaking of which, I've always felt uneasy about this Lin family cultivator. Their strength seems to surpass what we previously understood. Let me use this treasure to search for him." The cautious mid Gold Core stage cultivator spoke up.

After speaking, he used the treasure mirror artifact to search. Once the artifact was activated, he quickly discovered Lin Zhidan's whereabouts.

Upon discovering him, he revealed a pleased expression.

"It seems that it was just his little trick. However, it's quite impressive that he managed to deceive the divine senses of the three of us at once. If it weren't for this artifact, he might have actually fooled us."

"This should be some kind of formation array. It's unlikely that a Purple Mansion cultivator like him would possess an artifact, and ordinary magical tools don't have the ability to shield divine senses no matter what. I did some research before coming here, and it seems that the Lin family is known for their formation arrays. Now it all makes sense." The early Gold Core stage demonic cultivator said, summarizing the situation in just a few sentences.

"Alright, this formation array is probably very advanced. Although it's not a restriction, it might be a bit difficult for you to handle alone. Let's go together." Another mid Gold Core stage cultivator said, and the early Gold Core stage cultivator who was originally going to capture Lin Zhidan naturally had no objections.

After speaking, the three of them flew towards the location where Lin Zhidan was discovered. At this time, Lin Qing had already arrived at the mansion. Upon seeing this, he immediately transmitted a message to Lin Zhidan, asking him to activate other formation arrays. However, instead of rushing to activate them, Lin Zhidan boldly waited in place.

This made Lin Qing feel a bit anxious, but he also had some other thoughts.

If these three people were trapped in the center of the formation array, he would have a great opportunity to eliminate one or two of them before they could decipher the formation array. It was even possible to kill all three of them. After all, the center of the formation array was much more difficult to crack than the edges, and it could hold them off for a longer period of time. Killing them now would be a permanent solution.

The Gold Core cultivators flew extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at the center of the mansion.

It was a residence with a small garden, filled with many flowers and plants, offering a beautiful view. The Lin family Purple Mansion cultivators who usually stationed in Chiyang Immortal City would stay here.

After the three of them arrived, they were less than thirty zhang away from Lin Zhidan, who was under the concealment formation array. Although this concealment formation array had a powerful concealment function, it was weak in other aspects. If these three people joined forces, the concealment formation array would probably not last long. It could be said that Lin Zhidan was in imminent danger.

At this moment, Lin Zhidan no longer waited. He decisively activated the other four third-grade formation arrays.

Apart from the concealed formation that has already been activated, the other four third-order formations consist of one illusion formation, two trapped formations, and one killing formation. When combined with Lin Qing's exquisite combination, the power of these four formations is not as simple as one plus one; it is exponentially amplified.

The three Gold Core cultivators at the center of the formation, after the activation of the formation, found themselves surrounded by a snowy landscape, with goose feather-like snowflakes falling from the sky and a bone-chilling coldness in the air.

The Gold Core cultivator in the mid-stage, who was extremely cautious, smiled when he saw this scene and said, "Don't worry, this is just an illusion formation. It may be formidable against Purple Mansion cultivators, but for us Gold Core cultivators, it is useless."

After speaking, he realized that there was no response. He looked around and saw that the other two Gold Core cultivators were right beside him, but it seemed like they couldn't hear him at all.

His expression changed slightly.

The other two Gold Core cultivators also experienced the same situation. They all realized that despite being close to each other, they couldn't communicate as if there was some kind of barrier between them.

"There must be other formations nested within. It seems we'll have to put in more effort." The mid-stage Gold Core cultivator quickly figured out the reason and muttered to himself. Then, he took out a magic treasure and attempted to forcefully break through.

While he was attempting to break through forcefully, Lin Qing had already flown above the formation, unaffected by its effects.

Seeing that the three cultivators were trapped, a hint of coldness flickered in Lin Qing's eyes.

"Zhidan, you should leave first. The farther you fly, the better." Lin Qing transmitted a message to Lin Zhidan. He had already made up his mind to let Lin Zhidan leave first while he dealt with these three cultivators. Regardless of how many he could kill, he had to give it a try.

Lin Zhidan also knew that it was not the time for him to intervene, so he immediately flew out of the concealed formation, bowed to Lin Qing, and then flew away.

After Lin Zhidan left, Lin Qing sat cross-legged, and a water pearl floated in front of him. A water-based magic treasure in the shape of a flying needle quickly formed.

This was a magic treasure formed by condensing water for the second time, and its power was comparable to ordinary flying needle magic treasures.

During the previous encounter with Tian Sa Dao Ren, it was able to hinder him, so its power was extraordinary. Now that these three cultivators were trapped in the formation, it was a good opportunity to use this item against them.

As for who to deal with, Lin Qing looked down and aimed the flying needle at the early-stage Gold Core demonic cultivator.

One should pick the soft persimmon to squeeze. Among the three Gold Core cultivators below, Lin Qing naturally wanted to immediately eliminate one of them. Otherwise, if the three of them escaped from the formation and joined forces, it would be troublesome. And compared to the mid-stage Gold Core cultivators, this early-stage one was naturally the softest persimmon. Although this flying needle was powerful, Lin Qing estimated that it might not be enough against the mid-stage Gold Core cultivators, so he could only deal with this early-stage one.

"Go!"

With a flick of Lin Qing's divine sense, the flying needle flew towards the lower area at an extremely fast speed. The flying needle was already very small and made of water, so its speed was even faster, almost invisible.

The early-stage Gold Core demonic cultivator below was currently wielding a large saber magic treasure, spewing out blazing flames from the tip of the blade. As the flames burned, the snowy landscape around him swayed, indicating that the formation was about to break soon.

This Gold Core cultivator felt somewhat happy, but suddenly, an inexplicable sense of danger flashed through his mind.
