How did Xiao Bai escape? Perhaps the people of that time had a certain kind of mysterious confidence in the barriers they had set up, or what, but they only set up barriers around the perimeter, without reinforcing the wooden windows and the rammed earth ground, unlike later generations, where solid steel and concrete were everywhere.
If the barrier was intact, with Xiao Bai's current weak cultivation level, he would not be able to break the barrier they set up, but there is nothing much on Blue Star except rats!
Rats are creatures that will bite and eat anything. There happened to be a rat that, perhaps because it had stayed on the fairy island for too long, or because it had eaten too many spiritual herbs and plants, had some spiritual energy in its body, especially its pair of front teeth, which made it so crunchy when it chewed the spiritual barrier.
And in the corner under Xiao Bai's bed, there was such a rat hole!
So Xiao Bai made full use of his hands-on ability, dug through the rat hole and escaped!
This is the saying that when you think you have reached the end of the road, there is always a new way out! But before she could sigh for long, she felt a slight pain in her meridians!
She looked up and saw that all the spiritual energy around was converging towards the central formation!
It looked like they had already started moving! She hurried to the central formation on the mountain and saw from a distance a large group of people sitting cross-legged inside and outside the central formation, gritting their teeth and trying hard to absorb spiritual energy.
"So that's how it is. I thought all the low-level disciples would be buried with the deceased. It turns out this is the method used to keep the low-level disciples alive!" Xiao Bai muttered.
Murong An sighed in her sea of consciousness and said, "This is the only method Elder Changhong and Elder Qizhen came up with to save the disciples. After the central formation is activated, the disciples outside the formation will definitely not be able to withstand the extraction of spiritual energy from their meridians. They will soon be drained of spiritual energy and die. At this time, as long as someone in the central formation continuously absorbs spiritual energy and then transmits it to the disciples outside the formation, this way, as long as the disciples outside the formation can maintain their balance and hold on until the formation ends, they can still barely survive."
Xiao Bai pointed at a disciple in the central formation whose meridians had burst and was covered in blood from absorbing too much spiritual energy and taunted him, "You let the disciples in your formation absorb the spiritual energy and explode to death, and the lucky ones who survived then sacrifice themselves to seal the formation, while you desperately try to protect the low-level disciples outside the formation. And you think your master and elders are being so kind!"
Murong An was choked and didn't know what to say. After a long while, he replied: "This is the only solution..."
"Tsk~" Xiao Bai rolled his eyes. "Is there no other way to seal the rift between the two worlds? This would only hurt the enemy by a thousand and hurt yourself by eight hundred! Forget it, forget it, let's not dwell on this. Where's your leader?! Now it's more important to find Nightmare!"
After Xiao Bai finished speaking, she supported her aching body and tried to get closer to the formation to find the leader, but she didn't know that the person she was looking for was in the cave at the bottom of the central formation.
In the cave at the bottom of the mountain, the light emitted by the stones inlaid on the top of the cave illuminated the surroundings. Five elders sat cross-legged in the five elements and meditated with their eyes closed. Suddenly, the stone door of the cave was opened, and the head of Jixian Fairy Island walked in.
"Master!" The five people bowed.
"The central formation is about to activate. This is a critical moment. You must guard the formation well and not make any mistakes!"
The five of them bowed and agreed.
The headmaster pulled out five walnut-sized spirit cores from his sleeve and handed them to the five people, saying with concern, "You've been defending the formation these past few days, and your spiritual energy has been depleted quite a bit. I've specially found a few spirit cores that are suitable for you to replenish your spiritual power."
Seeing several people take the spirit core, a dark light flashed in the eyes of the leader, and then urged:
"You should meditate now and absorb the spirit core. I'm here to protect you. Once the central formation begins, the spiritual energy from the outside world will be drawn into it. You should replenish your spiritual energy now. As long as we can hold on until they seal the rift between the two realms, we can survive."
The five of them exchanged glances, then looked at the Sect Leader with gratitude and said, "Thank you, Sect Leader!"
You know, as the elders of Jixian Fairy Island, how could they not know about this century-long plan? Once the central formation is activated, those of them who are not in the formation will have their spiritual energy extracted by the formation. For them, the only chance to survive is to hold on until the rift between the two worlds is sealed.
Although they are willing to sacrifice themselves for the future of humanity on the entire Blue Planet, who wouldn't want to live hard if they had the chance to?!
Originally, with their level of cultivation, it would have been difficult for them to hold on to the end, but now with this spirit core and having absorbed so much spiritual energy, perhaps their chances of survival would be greater.
The headmaster said with emotion: "I always hope that more of you can survive. After all, our sect also needs people to carry on."
After hearing this, the five elders were all very grateful and immediately sat down cross-legged to begin absorbing the spiritual energy from the spirit core.
Who knew that after this absorption, he would find himself in a trap!
“This… this is a spirit core contaminated by dark matter! Master, you… you…”
One of the elders with the highest cultivation level was the first to discover that the absorbed spiritual energy was abnormal. He opened his palm and saw that there was a wisp of gray mist at the core of the spiritual core in his hand. This turned out to be a spiritual core contaminated by dark matter!
Unfortunately, it was too late when he discovered it. The dark matter had already invaded his meridians and dantian along with the spiritual energy. This kind of dark matter invasion was faster than being bitten by a contaminated species!
“You...why are you doing this?!”
"You, you actually want to kill us?!"
The five elders were extremely shocked, but they had all been contaminated by dark matter. They watched helplessly as their skin quickly turned black and they were quickly transformed into mindless contaminated species.
Suddenly, a pale blue light emanated from the Sect Leader's ears. The previously spirited Sect Leader suddenly became glazed over, standing there motionless, as if stunned. This pale blue aura was none other than the Nightmare, which then entered the ears of the five elders one by one, returning to the Sect Leader's ears several minutes later.
"Sure enough, the high-level dark cores transformed from the cultivators' spiritual cores are really nourishing. The energy is pure and abundant! I haven't eaten this full in ages!"
The "master" who had regained his spirit patted the non-existent dust on his sleeves and approached the sealing formation. Just as he was about to reach out and touch the formation, he was unexpectedly bounced back by the formation.
The "Master" was seen to have a red mark on his palm after it touched the formation. He snorted in anger:
"Tsk~ Useless body!"
He then chuckled again and muttered to himself, "But soon I won't need to parasitize these pigs' seas of consciousness anymore. I'll be able to get out soon, hahahaha."
