The seemingly cramped cave, after being modified by the array, became incredibly spacious.
Even though they had walked dozens of meters, Xi Xizhi and the others still hadn't reached the windy spot.
The further we went, the stronger the wind became.
They walked another hundred meters or so.
Several times Xi Xizhi was almost pushed away by the wind, but thanks to An Honghan holding her arm tightly, she was not swept away by the wind.
As they approached the windy spot, the three of them found it increasingly difficult to walk, especially Xi Xizhi, who was already quite thin. Towards the end, An Honghan had to carry her almost the entire time to reach the windy spot.
The vent was very small, only about half a meter high. When An Honghan and the others arrived, the strong wind felt as if it could break a person's back.
Xi Xizhi was barely able to stand.
"Quickly... quickly break the formation..." As soon as she opened her mouth, gale-force winds filled it.
Even though Feng Zhenren and An Honghan didn't speak, their billowing sleeves revealed that they were also being battered by the strong wind.
Fearing that the fox demon might use trickery, Master Feng walked at the front as the vanguard.
"You...you...step back, I...I'm about to break the formation..." The strong wind made Master Feng's words broken and intermittent.
Xi Xizhi and An Honghan immediately took a step back without hesitation.
Master Feng took out the Demon-Detecting Mirror, his features scrunched up, and he chanted the incantation again. This time, the Demon-Detecting Mirror did not disappoint everyone; its surface emitted a strong light, instantly illuminating the cave.
Master Feng formed a hand seal and poured his spiritual power into the Demon-Detecting Mirror. The next moment, he threw the Demon-Detecting Mirror towards the exit, which was half a meter high.
Shout: "Break!"
The next second, the Demon-Detecting Mirror shone brightly, as if countless beams of light had transformed into sharp blades, tearing apart the array's core barrier at the vent.
The wind inside the cave gradually stopped the instant the formation shattered.
After the wind stabilized, none of the three hesitated.
An Honghan spoke first: "Let's leave."
Immediately afterwards, the three of them slipped into the half-meter-high vent, emerging from the dark formation they had just been in.
After this incident, Xi Xizhi and the others came to the conclusion that the owner of the cave must be a monster who was proficient in formations.
At least that formation just now was easy to confuse everyone.
After one cave, there was another cave.
The difference is that this cave is brightly lit, as if someone regularly lives there.
Xi Xizhi glanced around and saw many small flags placed in the center, scattered in a regular but uneven order in various corners of the cave.
Xi Xizhi had seen this formation before in her master's library and recognized it at a glance: "This is the Wind Gathering Formation."
No wonder there was a thin breeze throughout the dark cave.
The Wind Gathering Formation is a unique formation that can generate winds of various shapes in places where there is no wind.
As long as the formation is aligned with the wind, the wind can be pumped into it through the connection of the medium.
However, according to my master, very few people in the world know this formation. Even his book was obtained from an old friend after much effort.
"Gathering Wind Formation?" Master Feng seemed to realize something as well, and turned to look at Xi Xizhi. "Are you sure this is a Gathering Wind Formation?"
“Master Feng, do you not know? Look at the three small flags arranged in a line, occupying the southeast, west and south, but leaving the north side empty… and the north is precisely the direction of the wind. All the winds are rushing towards the wind gap, which is why it was so difficult for us to come in just now. I have the good fortune to have seen the Wind Gathering Formation, so I am certain of it.”
Xi Xi spoke with conviction. Although she was lazy and disliked practicing magic in her previous life, she was often forced by her master to study formations.
Because my master said that if the tribulation lightning is too fierce on the day of ascension, many formations can be used to block a lot of the power of the heavenly lightning.
Unfortunately... while Xi Xizhi was living a muddled life, before she could set up the formation, the lightning tribulation suddenly descended, catching her completely unprepared.
If it weren't for the magical artifact her master gave her, which shielded her from that final wave of attacks, she wouldn't even have had a chance to be reborn; she would definitely have been annihilated.
"Who is your master?" Master Feng couldn't believe that a little demon could know such a profound formation, so he could only suspect her master.
Furthermore, Master Feng's cultivation level is among the best in the entire Fengze Kingdom. I've heard that there are other powerful figures among him, so of course I want to pay him a visit and discuss profound Daoist practices.
This question stumped Xi Xizhi. It seemed that An Honghan had asked her the same question before. How did she answer it back then?
After trying to recall, Xi Xizhi had just remembered when a voice beside her said before she could: "Her master has already ascended to heaven."
Master Feng opened his eyes wide in disbelief and looked at Xi Xizhi with an extremely serious gaze.
Ascension is the lifelong dream of every cultivator, and Master Feng is no exception.
Unfortunately, cultivating immortality is easy, but ascending to heaven is difficult.
He cultivated himself diligently for decades, but failed to comprehend the secrets of heaven and attain immortality.
In a place unknown to him, someone actually ascended to heaven.
This time, Master Feng completely let down his guard against Xi Xizhi. Since a master had taken her as his disciple, she must be a promising young girl.
Besides, there are many demons in the world who have achieved enlightenment. Perhaps if I give her a helping hand, she won't be far from the righteous path.
"So that's how it is. If we had met a few years earlier, we might have been able to meet again." Apart from a long sigh, Master Feng had nothing more to say.
But Xi Xizhi sighed inwardly, "Even if you were born ten years earlier, you still wouldn't have been able to meet her master."
Because the two of them are not in the same world at all, just like her... she only ended up in this world because of an accident.
"Destroy this formation." An Honghan circled the small flag, still feeling uneasy. If they were to return the way they came, this formation would create considerable resistance, so it was better to destroy it as soon as possible.
Master Feng and Xi Xizhi also strongly agreed and nodded in agreement.
"I obey your command." Master Feng raised his hand and waved it, instantly shattering the small flags that had been arranged.
He spoke so quickly that Xi Xizhi couldn't hear what he was saying.
As the flag was destroyed, the chilling wind in the cave disappeared.
Just then, a crisp cracking sound caught Xi Xizhi's attention.
"There's something here!" Xi Xizhi turned her head and looked at the source of the sound.
In a narrow cave not far away, a white fox was staring intently at them.
That sound just now was from when it accidentally stepped on the broken flagpole.
The fox's vertical pupils were both wary and frightening.
Its gaze was fixed on Xi Xizhi, seemingly with a mixture of inquiry and confusion.
Upon seeing Master Feng standing behind Xi Xizhi, the fox was on high alert and turned to run towards the narrower cave entrance behind it.
