"What happened?"
"Where is Jade Stream Island?"
"Where is Master?"
When Yu KeWei, who had been out adventuring for two years, returned to Jade Stream Island, she unsurprisingly couldn't find any trace of it.
"No!
I can still sense my divine sense in this area, but why can't I find Jade Stream Island?"
Even though Yu KeWei was a mid-stage sixth-tier Great Demon King, her spiritual sense was quite formidable,
yet she couldn't locate Jade Stream Island, which should have been right within her reach.
"Heh heh~ Perfect timing to experiment on you."
Yang Hong, on Jade Stream Island, saw Yu KeWei darting around like a headless fly. Instead of immediately opening the formation to let her in,
he activated the full power of the formation.
He also activated all the formations, large and small, across Jade Stream Island.
Research can be addictive.
After completing the [Wood Water Concealment and Tracking Grand Formation], Yang Hong didn't stop deploying formations. All the spirit plants on Jade Stream Island that had attained a certain grade were incorporated into various formations.
If his understanding of formations wasn't yet capable of using ordinary plants for formations, he would have already utilized all the plants on the entire island.
"Hmm~ Not bad, not bad. Even a sixth-tier detection spell can't find Jade Stream Island anymore.
It's truly effective!"
Watching Yu KeWei's detection spells continuously cast but failing to reveal Jade Stream Island, Yang Hong grinned with immense joy.
However, Yu KeWei outside Jade Stream Island was growing frantic.
"Could it be that Old Ancestor Golden Peng came to Jade Stream Island again and sank the entire island?"
After multiple failed attempts to detect it, Yu KeWei's expression suddenly changed drastically as she considered a possibility.
"Water Escape~"
She quickly landed on the sea surface and performed several water escape spells back and forth.
Unfortunately, the [Wood Water Concealment and Tracking Formation] was most effective against water and wood escape techniques. Once she entered the formation, her direction would be misled, and she would naturally be guided out of the formation.
"How could I not find it? Neither the sea nor the seabed shows Jade Stream Island.
I am now the king of the Giant Salamander Sea Region. If any strong cultivators entered this sea area, I would undoubtedly know."
"It couldn't be an earthquake either; this sea area has been very quiet for the past two years."
Yu KeWei pondered various possibilities and constantly overturned them.
In two years, she had completely controlled a sea area of 60,000 li, and four cities within it had been "converted" by her using the [Great Brightness Buddhist Sutra] combined with the [Pervasive Demonic Sound].
There were basically no uncontrollable factors.
As for beyond 60,000 li, it was a sea area with no islands, nearly 200,000 li wide. If any outsiders entered, they would be easily detected.
Yu KeWei deduced all possible scenarios but never imagined it was Yang Hong who had set up the formations.
This was because the best formations she had collected before were only two third-grade formations; the others were first and second-grade.
In her understanding, no third-grade formation could block the detection of a sixth-tier cultivator.
Let alone third-grade formations, even fifth-grade formations could be detected.
"I refuse to believe it. Main body, appear!"
Yu KeWei gritted her teeth and directly manifested her true form in the sea.
The 100-li long Yu Mu Flower Vine continuously extended. Only then did she finally discover Jade Stream Island.
After her vines spread out, unaffected by eyes or other senses, they continuously extended and successfully reached Jade Stream Island.
"Jade Stream Island is still here?"
The massive Yu Mu Flower Vine emitted a shocking sound of surprise.
"I want to see who has hidden Jade Stream Island from me."
Saying that, Yu KeWei swung her colossal vines to smash towards the island.
"Rumble~~"
With a single sweep of her vine, a massive沟壑 tens of miles long, a hundred zhang wide, and ten zhang deep was carved.
It was this strike that caused the formation array of Jade Stream Island to flash, and a corner of Jade Stream Island was revealed.
"Yu KeWei, stop."
Not daring to let Yu KeWei strike again, Yang Hong quickly called out to stop her.
"Rumble~~"
Unfortunately, Yang Hong was a bit slow. Another沟壑 more than ten miles long appeared.
"Master? Master, are you alright?"
Hearing Yang Hong's voice and seeing him fly from the center of the island, Yu KeWei quickly transformed into human form and flew towards him.
"It's great that Master is still alive. It's really good."
"Wuwuwu~~ I thought, I thought Master was dead."
Yu KeWei flew over, hugged Yang Hong tightly, and burst into tears.
The sudden disappearance of Jade Stream Island had terrified her immensely.
"Alright, alright. I'm fine, really fine."
Yang Hong was stunned. He hadn't expected that his attempt to test the formation's effectiveness would make Yu KeWei cry.
And she was crying out of worry for him.
This could be considered an outpouring of emotion.
After she had cried enough, Yu KeWei, holding Yang Hong's shoulder, looked at him with adoration and said.
"Master, you are truly amazing. You managed to hide the entire Jade Stream Island."
"Far from it. It was revealed by your whip."
Looking at the two massive沟壑 on the coast, Yang Hong smiled and shook his head.
He also understood the limitations of low-grade formations.
If they were high-grade formations, they should be able to absorb and transfer attack damage.
"Master is already very powerful. I have traveled to many places in the past two years and seen many formations."
"I visited 20 islands and inspected 9 city defense grand formations.
All of these city defense grand formations were fourth-grade formations.
Although these formations had concealment effects, they couldn't hide from my sixth-tier spiritual sense."
"You're saying you can detect fourth-grade concealment formations?"
Yang Hong was a little surprised.
"Yes. Although I can't break through fourth-grade formations in a short time, these city defense grand formations can't escape my spiritual sense detection. I don't even need to cast detection spells; just using my spiritual sense is enough to find them."
Yu KeWei nodded with great certainty.
It was precisely because she couldn't find Jade Stream Island that she had been so worried before and cried like a child.
"KeWei, see if you can detect the formations on the island now, especially those areas that are still concealed."
Hearing Yu KeWei's words, Yang Hong was also a little puzzled. Were his formations that powerful?
At this moment, more than half of Jade Stream Island had become visible, but an area of 300 li in circumference remained invisible.
"Let me see~"
Yu KeWei turned her head and looked around.
"Eh~ It's the [Wood Water Concealment and Tracking Formation]. So many [Wood Water Formations]!
And low-grade formations,
Hiss~ Master, you are truly crazy!
The entire island is filled with formations."
The formation array had been damaged. Yu KeWei's spiritual sense was not bad either. Although it couldn't cover the entire Jade Stream Island, it could cover 1,200 li.
Now she could see all the formations clearly.
"Heh heh~ I just set up formations for fun when I had nothing to do.
See if you can see the formations within the central 300 li area?"
Yang Hong wasn't bothered by Yu KeWei's praise. He was more concerned about the remaining power of the formations after they were damaged.
"Hmm~ The formations in the central 300 li? Although I can see them, my spiritual sense is consumed greatly.
It seems there is still considerable formation power remaining."
"Is that so?"
Yang Hong frowned slightly, feeling a bit regretful.
His formation array was almost rendered ineffective after only two components were damaged.
It seemed there was still much room for improvement.
"Master, don't worry. I've found a large number of formation jade slips this time. Although they are all low-grade formations, there are over 600 of them. They should allow Master's formation level to advance further."
"I hope so.
Did you collect any cultivation technique jade slips and alchemy technique jade slips?"
Yang Hong had a feeling that without formally learning fourth-grade formations, he wouldn't be able to advance to a fourth-grade formation master.
Therefore, he thought of another immortal cultivation skill.
