Core Formation! Wang Baole’s pupils immediately constricted.
Even though he felt that the giant tree wasn’t the same one he encountered in Coulomb Basin, and was also different from the one in Huang Shan’s body, he could immediately sense that they were of the same kind!
That created a torrent of emotions in Wang Baole’s heart. Additionally, seeing the Core Formation elder talking to the giant tree and realizing the elder’s level of cultivation, Wang Baole felt like his mind was on the brink of exploding.
After all, before coming there, he was clear that people of Core Formation cultivation were not allowed in the mystic realm. However, before his eyes, there was a Core Formation cultivator from the Five Generation Sky Clan who had appeared within the Mystic Luna Realm!
It was the dark side of the moon. As for the exact location, Wang Baole wasn’t able to locate a landmark and thus was unable to find out. Determining one’s location was made more difficult, especially after the area had been sealed, as it interfered with the jade slip’s location tracking function. However, based on the many times that he had been teleported, Wang Baole could vaguely make out that he wasn’t in the depths of the moon’s dark side.
However, even if that was the case, it was likely that he wasn’t far from it. That was probably the reason why there were so few people there. If he had not been teleported there, he would never have stepped onto that piece of land on his own accord.
If it was just the people from the Five Generation Sky Clan assembled and the giant tree wasn’t present, Wang Baole would have thought that the Five Generation Sky Clan were cheating. However, since the tree was around, everything became clear.
The Five Generation Sky Clan are in cahoots with the giant tree to plot something devious in the Mystic Luna Realm! Wang Baole regretted his choice deeply, as he felt that he shouldn’t have taken the path he had. He knew that he was catching a lot of attention with his Spirit Qi, and even though the devouring seed could help tone it down a little, it was still unwise. Therefore, without hesitation, Wang Baole decided to leave. He knew well that if someone were to discover his presence, death would be the only outcome for him.
However, even though Wang Baole tried his very best to retreat cautiously, it was too late. True Breath realm cultivators may not have been able to detect Wang Baole’s Spirit Qi source, but the Core Formation elder and the giant tree beside him could, and they suddenly turned their heads and looked in the direction where Wang Baole was.
That was especially so for the giant tree. In its eyes, a glow suddenly flashed as it looked directly at Wang Baole.
Wang Baole’s mind buzzed noisily as the giant tree looked at him. It was as if a sense of consciousness appeared out of nowhere, occupying his brain immediately, and a crowd was sneering at him as if trying to destroy his consciousness and take it over.
Everything, from the instance Wang Baole discovered them, to the Five Generation Sky Clan discovering him, happened in the snap of a finger.
With danger looming, Wang Baole decided to activate the devouring seed within his body, forcefully driving away the consciousness that was surging into his mind. Blood spewed out of his mouth, and he turned extremely pale as he unleashed all his speed and retreated quickly into the distance.
As for the hidden Spirit Qi source, it was naturally dissipated when Wang Baole harbored the thought of chasing away the invading consciousness. That made his body seem like a flame in the dark, and he was extremely eye-catching!
“It’s just a small fly. Zhou Fei, bring some people with you and eliminate him!” The Core Formation elder from the Five Generation Sky Clan looked at the situation coldly and didn’t care much about it. He had more important things to do, and after settling the matter calmly, twenty-odd people from the Five Generation Sky Clan rushed out, charging after Wang Baole!
There was a middle-aged man amongst them. He was Zhou Fe, the person named by the Core Formation elder. His cultivation level far exceeded that of a True Breath realm cultivator and was at the Foundation Establishment level. He bowed as he looked at the elder, before following the others and disappearing within the forest.
Wang Baole, who was in the middle of the forest, felt a torrent of emotions. As he charged forward, he slapped his storage bag and immediately retrieved five puppets that he had intentionally kept for further refinement.
The characteristic of the five puppets was that they looked completely identical to Wang Baole, down to his clothes. As they emerged, they crossed paths with the actual Wang Baole, overlapping with his figure. It looked messy, and the six figures, including the real Wang Baole, began spreading out in different directions.
To make it more believable, Wang Baole didn’t care about wasting his previous efforts as he distributed the fragments to be used for Foundation Establishment between himself and the puppets, in order to close up any points of suspicion.
That way, there were five other Wang Baoles charging within the forest, making it difficult for one to instantly recognize the real Wang Baole.
The tactic was extremely effective within the forest. When Zhou Fei and the twenty-odd other Five Generation Sky Clan cultivators caught up, they were confused as they looked at the six figures running in different directions.
Cunning! Zhou Fei squinted his eyes. He raised his right hand and growled, and three other figures instantly appeared behind him!
The three figures appeared to be that of his previous incarnations, with each of them giving off a vibe that far exceeded the level of a peak True Breath realm cultivator. Even though they weren’t on the level of Foundation Establishment, they were close. They also spread out and charged in three different directions.
As for the actual Zhou Fei, he was running in a fourth direction. Before leaving, his loud voice rang out in all directions.
“Spread out and give chase! Once you find him, send a signal!”
The other cultivators were excited as they spread out, running at high speed in the remaining two directions.
Noticing the pursuit going on behind him, Wang Baole grew anxious.
After all, a fantasy world like the forest on the dark side of the moon looked extremely beautiful but contained no shortage of danger. That was especially so for Wang Baole. The environment, coupled with the danger of being chased by the Five Generation Sky Clan, made him so anxious that his mind buzzed ceaselessly with activity.
I need to find the Mystic Trace Fog as soon as possible! The thought of a Core Formation cultivator from the Five Generation Sky Clan inside the mystic realm, coupled with him colluding with the giant tree, sent chills down Wang Baole’s mind. He wasn’t sure when the Federation would come to save him, but even if they arrived, they wouldn’t be able to reach his exact location as they didn’t know the situation well enough.
No matter what, his only chance of survival was to find the Mystic Trace Fog!
Thankfully, Wang Baole wasn’t foreign to finding an escape route within the forest. Even though the area was bizarre, Wang Baole was extremely agile as he weaved within the forest. He flailed his hands and instantly, ten mosquitoes appeared around him, with nine of them being ordinary ones and the last one being a grey-colored one!
When the ten mosquitoes appeared, they all spread out, covering an area of a hundred feet and providing an all-round view of the surroundings for Wang Baole. That allowed him to hold a good grasp of the surrounding region. Coupling that with his experience escaping from the forest previously, he could charge forward even faster.
However, it seemed like the preparation made by the Five Generation Sky Clan was also very sufficient. Even though the one pursuing the real Wang Baole was not Zhou Fei nor the figures of his previous lives, the ten or twelve peak True Breath realm cultivators all took out incense and lit it up. That covered the entire area with thick fog. They also disregarded the dangers hiding in the forest and were all moving at such a high speed that, before long, the fastest of the lot was merely a thousand feet away from Wang Baole.
After seeing that there were people already nearing him through the vantage point provided by the mosquitoes, Wang Baole’s pupils constricted. He sensed their intention to kill him, and that made him decide to kill them as well. He didn’t originally plan to attack, as that would reveal his identity and make it known to others that he was the real Wang Baole.
However, he had no other choice. If he did not attack, it wasn’t possible for his puppets to delay them for long, as they would eventually find out where the real him was.
However, the longer I can drag it out, the more beneficial it would be for me! Wang Baole suppressed his urge to attack and continued charging forward. However, soon, he was shocked when he began to realize that the signs from the puppets he released were disappearing one by one. Before long, there was only one puppet left out of the five.
I can’t wait anymore! The viciousness in Wang Baole’s eyes grew. He no longer hesitated as he turned back, charging in the opposite direction while the ten mosquitoes around him also dashed out, racing directly at the people after him.
The youth that had come after him was taken aback. As he charged forward, he heard buzzing sounds by his ears, but he didn’t care much about it, as he thought that it was given off by some creatures within the forest. He believed that the fog around him would cause them to dissipate.
However, just as the thought arose in his mind, the buzzing sound from the mosquitoes grew louder. Even before he could react, pain was felt in different areas of his body simultaneously. He stared with his eyes wide open and was about to scream when his vision blurred. A gray-colored mosquito had flown directly into his mouth.
In his shock and fear, he was unable to make any sound. The pain was compounded as it got fully unleashed. He wanted to struggle, but at that moment, his body immediately turned blue, and his glabella split open as a gray-colored mosquito flew out from it!
It was game over for him!
At the same time, a flying sword suddenly appeared from within the forest in front of him. It was traveling so fast that it instantly pierced through his throat.
As his corpse collapsed, Wang Baole’s figure emerged. He was shocked by how ferocious the gray-colored mosquito was. However, he didn’t have time to take a closer look. Without stopping, he dashed backwards with a chill in his eyes. The ten mosquitoes seemed to have grown even more excited after they were covered with blood, as they all spread out and charged backwards with Wang Baole!
