Mortals cultivate immortality, I have a Chaos Tower

Lin Fan and his team headed north and finally reached the border of Cangmang Province. As soon as they stepped into this land, the concentration of spiritual power in the air changed dramatically. The heavy spiritual power oppressed everyone, as if they were carrying a mountain on their backs. Lin Fan frowned slightly, feeling the fluctuations of the spiritual power of this land, and his heart trembled.

"This place... the concentration of spiritual energy is so astonishing!" Lin Fan looked around and saw the vast land and endless mountains. Just like the name of Cangmang State, a heavy and mysterious atmosphere permeated between heaven and earth.

Jin Buke tightened the sword in his hand and whispered, "This spiritual power... seems to be mixed with some kind of suppression, as if it is deliberately used to stop outsiders."

Jiang Shuiling closed her eyes, felt it for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, the spiritual power here seems to have consciousness. Its oppression is gradually deepening, as if it wants us to retreat."

Lin Fan looked at the mountains in the distance with a firm gaze. He said, "No matter how oppressive it is, we must move forward. Cangmang Pass is in this mountain range. If we can't even get through here, we can forget about the next challenge."

After saying that, Lin Fan stepped forward, his steps were firm and powerful, and the others followed him. After walking for a while, everything around them gradually became strange. Thick fog slowly rose from the ground, as if countless invisible hands were pushing the fog underground. They spread rapidly, and in a blink of an eye, they completely obscured the surrounding scenery.

"Everyone be careful!" Lin Fan warned vigilantly, narrowing his eyes slightly, trying to see the road ahead through the fog.

There were faint echoes in the mist, the sound was sometimes high and sometimes low, as if countless people were singing in a low voice, or as if it was some kind of wailing. The echo made people uneasy, as if it was intentionally disturbing their minds. Jiang Shuiling's face changed slightly, and his spiritual consciousness dispersed in the mist, but like a drop of water merging into the sea, he gained nothing.

"This is a formation!" Zhong Ling'er suddenly stopped, her eyes stern, and said, "This fog is not naturally generated, but an illusion array deliberately arranged by someone. Its purpose is to make us lose our way and gradually walk towards a dangerous place."

Lin Fan nodded, stared at the surroundings, and said, "Ling'er, can you see how to break this formation?"

Zhong Ling'er didn't say much, but closed her eyes slightly, and quickly made hand gestures with her fingers. A light blue spiritual light gathered at her fingertips, circling like flowing water. As her hand gestures changed, the blue light gradually spread in the mist. The mist seemed to be suppressed by the blue light and began to slowly disperse under her drive.

After a few breaths, the road ahead gradually became visible. The fog slowly dissipated to both sides like the ebb tide, revealing the road ahead. Zhong Ling'er's forehead was covered with sweat. She was panting slightly, but there was a confident smile on her face: "Okay, I have temporarily suppressed the formation. We can continue to move forward, but we have to be quick, otherwise the fog may come back again."

Lin Fan nodded and gave Zhong Ling'er an appreciative glance: "Well done, Ling'er. Everyone speed up, we have to pass this area as soon as possible."

The group quickened their pace and successfully passed through this dangerous foggy area. As they continued to go deeper into Cangmang Province, the pressure from spiritual power became more and more obvious. With every step they took, it seemed as if countless pairs of eyes were secretly watching them, making people feel heavy-hearted.

"It's worthy of being called Cangmang Province. Even breathing feels oppressive in this kind of place." Jin Buke sighed. There was a hint of vigilance in his eyes, and the long sword in his hand never relaxed.

Jiang Shuiling was constantly sensing the fluctuations in the spiritual energy around her. She frowned and said, "We have to be careful. I sense the fluctuations in the spiritual energy on this land. It seems that there are sudden surges in certain places. There may be traps there."

Zhong Linger nodded: "I feel it too. The formation here is not just a simple fog. It seems to have a deeper defense mechanism. We must be careful with every step, otherwise it is likely to trigger a more dangerous trap."

Just as they were discussing, a cold wind suddenly blew from all directions. The wind was biting cold, making everyone's clothes rustle. Lin Fan stopped abruptly and looked forward with a sharp gaze. He vaguely felt a strong ominous aura slowly approaching.

"Stop!" Lin Fan raised his hand and signaled, his voice low and full of alertness.

Everyone stopped immediately and looked around. The ominous aura in the air became stronger and stronger, as if even the ground began to tremble slightly. Jin Buk clenched his sword and whispered, "Here it comes...something is approaching!"

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, several huge black shadows suddenly appeared in the thick fog. Those shadows were tall and heavy, like giant beasts. Jiang Shuiling quickly circulated his spiritual power and formed seals with his hands, ready to respond to sudden attacks at any time.

"They are the guardian puppets of Cangmang Province!" Zhong Ling'er recognized the origins of those black shadows and her expression was stern: "These puppets are made of huge stones and spiritual power. They are very difficult to deal with. We must concentrate our attacks and not let them get close!"

Lin Fan snorted coldly, waved his right hand, and the Qiankun Axe appeared in his palm. The spiritual power in his body suddenly burst out, and he rushed directly towards the puppets. His speed was extremely fast, like a flash of lightning, and he rushed to the nearest puppet in an instant. The Qiankun Axe carried a huge spiritual power and chopped it down fiercely, making a deafening sound.

"boom--!"

The puppet fell down with a sound, and huge rocks flew everywhere. However, at the moment it fell, more black shadows emerged in the fog behind it, as if they were endless.

"Ling'er, set up a defensive formation! Jiang Shuiling, Jin Buke, cooperate with me and break through these puppets together!" A trace of solemnity flashed in Lin Fan's eyes. He could feel that these puppets were only the first line of defense set up by Cangmangzhou, and there were more challenges waiting for them.

Zhong Ling'er quickly took out several talismans from her storage bag and injected spiritual power into them. The talismans immediately turned into barriers that protected them. At the same time, Jiang Shuiling and Jin Buke no longer hesitated, and took out their magic weapons and attacked the oncoming puppets with all their strength.

"Water dragon power, break!" Jiang Shuiling shouted softly, and the spiritual power in his hand condensed. The power of the water dragon suddenly gushed out, turning into a huge water dragon, and pounced towards the puppet in front. The power of the water dragon was extremely powerful, and it instantly broke apart several puppets, stones flew, and the scene was shocking.

Jin Buke wielded his sword, the sword light was like a rainbow, and sword energy slashed at the puppets, and the sharp sword energy directly cut the stone in half. Lin Fan's Qiankun Axe was even more invincible, and every time he swung it, a puppet would fall down.

As everyone attacked together, more and more puppets were destroyed, but those puppets seemed endless, constantly emerging from the thick fog.

"How many of these puppets are there?" Jin Buke was a little anxious, sweat rolling down his forehead. The long battle made him gradually exhausted.

Lin Fan looked at the puppets that kept coming, his eyes showing a trace of determination: "We must find the core of this formation, otherwise it will be useless even if we repel more puppets!"

While maintaining the shield, Zhong Ling'er quickly observed the surroundings, her eyes flickering: "I roughly know the core location of the formation! It is in the southeast direction. The spiritual power fluctuations there are extremely strong. It is likely the source of controlling these puppets!"

"Okay! Everyone follow me!" Lin Fan shouted, and immediately turned and rushed in the direction Zhong Ling'er pointed. Jiang Shuiling and Jin Buke followed closely behind, protecting Zhong Ling'er with all their strength to prevent her from being attacked when breaking the formation.

After passing through a thick fog, they saw a huge stone platform. Above the stone platform was a huge stone with a blue glow. The blue light was the core of the formation. Zhong Linger did not hesitate and immediately performed the spell. Her hands kept forming seals in the air, and rays of spiritual light flew towards the huge stone, trying to remove the spiritual power on it.

"Ling'er, hurry up!" Jin Buke shouted loudly. More puppets gathered from all sides, obviously not intending to let them break the formation easily.

"Don't be impatient, I need some time!" Zhong Ling'er was fully focused, and her spiritual power was madly rushing towards the boulder. The blue light on the boulder gradually dimmed, and the power of the formation seemed to be gradually fading.

"boom--!"

At this moment, Lin Fan shouted angrily, raised the Qiankun Axe high, and chopped it down suddenly, directly hitting the boulder. With a deafening roar, the boulder cracked, the blue light dissipated, and the surrounding mist also disappeared in an instant.

"It worked!" Zhong Ling'er smiled with joy. The breaking of the formation caused all the puppets to stop moving instantly, as if they had lost control of their souls and fell down one after another.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Lin Fan took back the Qiankun Axe and turned to say to everyone, "Well done! However, this is just the beginning. We must always remain vigilant. Cangmang Pass is just ahead, and there may be even greater challenges waiting for us there."

Jiang Shuiling looked into the distance, and there seemed to be a low bell sound coming from the depths of the layers of mountains, as if warning them.
