Chapter 256 Refining Magic Treasures on Yingzhou Immortal Island
However, although he temporarily stopped cultivating, Ling Feng did not forget that there was another way to enhance his combat power—that is, to refine magic weapons!
Thinking of this, Ling Feng took the Primordial Measuring Ruler out of the system space.
This Primordial Measuring Ruler is no ordinary magic weapon, but a supreme treasure of innate merit!
It contains forty-eight powerful and complex restrictions, and only through careful refinement can its full power be unleashed.
With the experience accumulated from refining the Chaos Pearl and the Primordial Sword, Ling Feng was able to refine the Primordial Measuring Ruler with ease and skill.
After fifty years of unremitting efforts, Ling Feng finally succeeded in refining the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler to have as many as twenty-eight restrictions!
However, limited by his current strength, Ling Feng found that he could no longer further refine it.
Even so, with the existing number of restrictions, Ling Feng can still unleash about 50% of the powerful force of the Primordial Measuring Ruler.
Immediately afterward, Ling Feng, still not satisfied, did not stop, but immediately began a new round of refining the Chaos Pearl and the Primordial Sword.
To everyone's delight, with Ling Feng's all-out effort, the Chaos Pearl was successfully refined to twenty-six restrictions, but no matter how he tried afterward, he could not advance any further.
The same applies to the Hongmeng Sword; it stalled after reaching twenty-two restrictions during its refinement.
Nevertheless, Ling Feng was already quite satisfied with such results.
After all, it is no easy feat to refine these three treasures to such an extent.
After completing all the refining procedures, Ling Feng carefully put away these three priceless treasures.
Since a new breakthrough in cultivation cannot be achieved in the short term, there seems to be little point in staying on Penglai Immortal Island.
Therefore, the quick-witted Ling Feng decided to set off to explore two other immortal islands that were as famous as Penglai Immortal Island—Yingzhou and Fangzhang.
These two fairy islands must be famous, and they must hold endless treasures waiting for him to discover and explore.
After getting ready, Ling Feng flew like lightning towards the seaside of Penglai Immortal Island.
Although at this time he had no idea of the exact locations of the two mysterious fairy islands, Yingzhou and Fangzhang.
But based on the sound of falling into the water that he had heard before, he secretly guessed that the distance between these two fairy islands and Penglai should not be too far.
Having made up his mind, Ling Feng took off without hesitation, instantly passing through the impregnable protective array surrounding Penglai Immortal Island.
However, he then encountered an unexpected predicament—even though he circled around Penglai Island for a long time, he was unable to find even the slightest trace of Yingzhou and Fangzhang Island.
Just as Ling Feng was feeling somewhat frustrated, he suddenly noticed the figures of many sea beasts appearing from time to time beneath the surface of the sea.
These marine mammals are enormous and come in various shapes and sizes, some lurking in the deep sea, others occasionally surfacing to breathe.
Fortunately, perhaps because Ling Feng did not show any obvious hostility towards them, these sea beasts did not launch an attack on him.
Therefore, Ling Feng would not easily provoke them, lest he cause unnecessary trouble.
However, the most troublesome problem for Ling Feng remains unresolved:
Since we cannot find the other two fairy islands no matter what, how can we set foot on these mysterious islands and conduct an in-depth investigation?
Thinking of this, Ling Feng suddenly realized: since the other two immortal islands were also said to have evolved from the corpses of the Chaos Demon God, they must have some kind of extremely clever and secretive method of concealment.
Otherwise, if it were so conspicuous, it would probably have been noticed and taken over by those powerful sea beasts or cultivators from all walks of life!
Since nothing has been discovered so far, it seems that my skill in formations is insufficient.
Ling Feng immediately decided to return to Penglai Immortal Island for seclusion.
However, unlike in the past, this time his seclusion was not aimed at improving his own strength, but rather at conducting in-depth research on formations.
Ling Feng pondered to himself:
"I want to see just how powerful the protective arrays set up on these two immortal islands, Yingzhou and Fangzhang, really are!"
The reason that prompted him to resolutely choose to go into seclusion to study formations undoubtedly stemmed from the Hongmeng Dao Scripture he was cultivating.
This miraculous technique is all-encompassing, and it even includes a detailed explanation of formations.
However, Ling Feng had not paid much attention to or studied this in depth before, so he only had a superficial understanding of the art of formations.
Now that it is difficult to achieve a further breakthrough in strength in a short period of time, and given that the other two immortal islands are protected by tight array formations, this is undoubtedly the perfect opportunity to delve into the mysteries of array formations.
Moreover, there was a system mission concerning the other two immortal islands right in front of him, and Ling Feng knew he had to find the other immortal islands to complete the mission.
Thus, Ling Feng devoted himself entirely to his seclusion, eagerly absorbing knowledge about formations.
Time flies, and ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.
What is truly astonishing is that, in just ten years, Ling Feng has successfully entered the beginner stage of array formations and made remarkable progress.
However, the reason he was able to improve his strength so quickly was all due to the mysterious and unpredictable Hongmeng Dao Scripture.
This Hongmeng Dao Jing originally originated from the Hongmeng World, and the array annotations contained within it are directly derived from Hongmeng. Therefore, these annotations on arrays are all extremely profound and difficult to understand.
Ling Feng spent a great deal of effort and energy before he could barely step into the threshold of the array annotations.
Even though he has only just begun to understand the basics, based on his comprehension of these annotations, Ling Feng would at least be considered a master of formations if he were in the outside world.
It should be noted that this is something originating from the Primordial World, and compared to the formations in the vast world of the Primordial World, it inherently possesses an overwhelming advantage.
Time flies, the years are like a shuttle.
After another twenty years, Ling Feng finally mastered the array annotations in the Hongmeng Dao Scripture.
At this moment, his mastery of formations has reached a level that is difficult for ordinary people to attain.
However, Ling Feng did not intend to delve any further into the matter.
He had a strong premonition that if he wanted to master the art of formations, it would take far more than just a few hundred or a thousand years; it might even take much longer.
After all, the art of formations is infinitely varied and full of mysteries.
Although he has now reached the level of mastery, there is still a long and arduous road ahead before he can truly achieve mastery.
Ling Feng didn't want to waste so much time studying formations, so he simply left seclusion and prepared to search for the other two immortal islands.
With a flash, he flew straight out of Penglai Immortal Island like a bolt of lightning.
Upon emerging from seclusion, he harbored an important goal—to find any clues about the other two mysterious fairy islands.
Ling Feng circled around Penglai Immortal Island, carefully searching every inch of the surrounding space.
Persistence pays off, and before long, his keen senses indeed detected something unusual.
To the northeast of Penglai Immortal Island, he was pleasantly surprised to discover faint traces of a large array.
Since the existence of the great formation means that we are not far from finding the other two immortal islands.
With Ling Feng's current strength and cultivation, breaking this formation will only take a little time.
Without hesitation, he rushed toward the location of the great formation.
Upon arriving at the outer edge of the formation, Ling Feng did not rush to break it. Instead, he calmed down and carefully conducted a meticulous examination of the entire formation.
After some in-depth research, he was surprised to find that this great formation was quite similar to the formation on Penglai Immortal Island, both possessing powerful illusionary effects, the purpose of which was to make it difficult for outsiders to perceive the true location of the inner island.
Having figured out the characteristics of the formation, Ling Feng no longer hesitated and immediately began to break the formation in front of him.
Just as he was concentrating on breaking the formation, many sea beasts in the ocean also noticed Ling Feng's figure.
However, when they sensed the terrifying Golden Immortal aura emanating from Ling Feng, they were all terrified and dared not approach him even half a step.
They all panicked and fled in panic.
You must know that in this vast ocean, Golden Immortals are extremely powerful beings, and no sea beast would dare to easily provoke such a formidable character.
As for the dragons, although they also inhabit the vast and boundless sea.
However, the dragon race is now in decline, and the ancestral dragon's cultivation level is at most that of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Moreover, the number of Great Luo Golden Immortals among the Dragon Clan is quite limited.
Therefore, they would naturally not provoke a powerful being who has already reached the peak of the Golden Immortal realm without a reason.
Ling Feng spent a full ten years, going through countless attempts and explorations, before finally succeeding in cracking the mysterious formation before him.
However, it should be noted that he only managed to crack a passage into the formation; he did not completely unravel the entire array.
In Ling Feng's view, if he wanted to completely break through the formation, given his current strength, it would be nothing short of a pipe dream and an unattainable goal.
He knew very well that if he truly wanted to have enough ability to completely break this formation, he would have to wait until his understanding of the Dao of Formations reached its peak and was completely masterful before he could have any hope.
After all, this formation is no ordinary object; it is a rare thing originating from the chaos.
Although this place is a primordial world, the existence of such an array is still extraordinary, and breaking it is by no means easy.
After Ling Feng finally managed to decipher the passage into the formation, he didn't hesitate at all and stepped directly into the formation in a flash.
As he successfully passed through the formation, the scene before him was exactly as he had expected—this was indeed an island extremely similar to Penglai Immortal Island!
This place is simply a natural treasure trove, with an abundance of rare and precious natural materials.
Ling Feng was overjoyed and naturally did not hesitate to take any treasures that came into his sight.
Just like when he explored Penglai Island before, Ling Feng carefully moved along the outer edge of the island, gradually approaching the central area.
Along the way, he was quick-witted and nimble, not letting any valuable natural treasures slip by.
As Ling Feng ventured deeper into the central area, his haul grew ever larger, with mountains of rare and precious materials piling up in the system space, leaving everyone speechless.
Finally, after a difficult journey, Ling Feng arrived at the heart of this mysterious island.
However, to his great surprise, there was no magnificent palace like on Penglai Island, but only a solitary stone tablet standing quietly there.
Apart from that, the surroundings were empty, with nothing else conspicuous.
Ling Feng stared at the stone tablet in front of him, lost in thought.
Based on his previous experience, he quickly understood the reason.
Without hesitation, he immediately sat down cross-legged on the spot, adjusted his breathing, and began to refine the mysterious stone tablet.
Time flies, the years are like a shuttle.
Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. During this long period, Ling Feng devoted himself wholeheartedly to refining the stone tablet, without any distractions.
Persistence pays off. After persistent efforts, Ling Feng finally succeeded in completely refining the stone tablet in front of him.
At this point, Ling Feng had also brought the entire island's protective array under his control.
When he successfully refined the mysterious and ancient stone tablet, the scene from Penglai Immortal Island happened again—the stone tablet instantly shone with dazzling light.
Then, the two large, powerful characters "Yingzhou" slowly appeared.
Upon seeing these two words, Ling Feng was overjoyed: it seems that this place must be the legendary Yingzhou Immortal Island!
At this moment, Ling Feng had completely taken control of the powerful formation of this Yingzhou Immortal Island.
It should be noted that the reason he was able to break through this formation so easily before was simply because the formation was not controlled by anyone at the time and could only operate on its own based on its own settings.
However, things are different now. Now that Ling Feng has become the master of this formation, if anyone else tries to forcibly break the formation or rashly break in, they will never be able to succeed as easily as Ling Feng.
Because as long as someone dares to touch the formation, Ling Feng can detect it immediately and quickly take corresponding countermeasures.
Now that the exploration and control of Yingzhou Immortal Island had been successfully completed, Ling Feng embarked on another journey without hesitation, his target being the last mysterious and unpredictable Fangzhang Immortal Island.
He thought to himself that with the valuable experience he had gained from breaking the formation of Yingzhou Immortal Island, finding Fangzhang Immortal Island should not be difficult this time.
