Capítulo 1553: Chapter 12: Earth Escape Emerges
The strength of the Heavenly Stems Spirit Beads determines the strength of the basic layout. The strength of the basic layout determines the strength of the escape technique.
So the duration of the escape depends on the strength of the Yi Spirit Bead and Ji Spirit Bead he finds.
Misty Forest is home to many celestial spirit beasts; if he searches, he has a good chance of finding the Yi Deer Beast and Ji Lion Beast.
However, the fog is so dense that he can’t see his own fingers, posing a hindrance. There’s no guarantee he can complete the mission.
With no other choice, he can only bury his head in the task at hand.
After searching for several days, he finally found a Yi Deer Beast, which was no easy feat.
The fog in Misty Forest thins a bit at noon, and he used this opportunity to find the Yi Deer Beast.
This Yi Deer Beast is at the early stage of the Divine Transformation Fifth Realm, so its Yi Spirit Bead attribute should not be strong.
Nevertheless, having something is better than nothing, so he feels quite pleased.
With the Yi Spirit Bead found, only the last Heavenly Stems Spirit Bead remains. If he can find this one too, he can learn the Earth Escape from “Qimen Nine Escapes” and use the escape technique to flee.
In recent days, the Three Kingdoms have sent many reinforcements. They came secretly, as this is within the territory of the Grand Sui Country. If the cultivators of the Grand Sui Country found out that Constellation Beads were here, obtaining them would be difficult.
Of the Three Kingdoms, Jin Country has sent the most people because they are closer to the Grand Sui Country, making it easier to deploy and send troops.
This does not mean their strength can overpower the other two countries. After all, in terms of high-realm cultivators, their numbers are roughly equal, giving no significant advantage to any side.
At this moment, a powerful High Immortal Realm individual is here to seize the Wall Water Bead and Dou Wood Bead. Of course, Mingyi Country and Jin Country are unaware of the existence of the Wall Water Bead on Lin Yifan. These two High Immortal Realm masters are only targeting the Dou Wood Bead.
Now, with manpower increased several times, if they conduct a net search, they should be able to catch Lin Yifan, the fish that has escaped the net.
Yet the fog in Misty Forest remains dense, making searching difficult, so they need to wait for an opportune moment.
After several more days, Lin Yifan finally captured the Ji Lion Beast.
Of course, during these days, he also captured other spirit beasts and Heavenly Stems spirit beasts, not just the Yi Deer Beast and Ji Lion Beast; it wasn’t merely a lucky outburst.
With both Yi Spirit Bead and Ji Spirit Bead found, the next step is to practice how to set the layout and exert this escape technique.
To make the Earth Escape technique effective, first set the Eight Trigrams, and then combine the Yi Spirit Bead with the three auspicious gates: Open, Rest, Life, plus integrate them with Ji Spirit Bead and Earth Dish; hence the Earth Escape technique manifests.
The Earth Dish consists of the Twelve Earth Branches Spirit Beads, reserved by the Seven-Colored Immortal Emperor, not needing further search.
The same goes for the Eight Trigrams Spiritual Bead, but it is not a true Eight Trigrams Spiritual Bead. It’s a counterfeit, existing within certain spirit beasts, used as a substitute by those who can’t find real Eight Trigrams Spiritual Beads.
Therefore, don’t expect this Earth Escape technique to be very sophisticated or last long; it may malfunction within tens of seconds or minutes.
Despite this, it’s still worth a try, as it’s his only means of escape.
After practicing seriously, he roughly understood how to set the layout; then he continued repeating the practice, correcting and adjusting until he became proficient at setting the layout.
The main reason Lin Yifan found the Ji Lion Bead was that today’s fog was especially thin with particularly high visibility.
He wasn’t the only one noticing this; the Three Kingdoms cultivators lying in ambush outside also noticed.
They think it’s time to enter the Misty Forest to capture Lin Yifan, as in such weather, the chances of getting lost are very low, making it easy to find Lin Yifan.
A large net is closing in on the center of Misty Forest, allowing no creature to escape their scrutiny.
Fortunately, the Misty Forest is vast, and with these people’s search speed, it would take at least a day to reach the center of the forest.
Therefore, Lin Yifan still has time to learn how to set the layout.
Setting the layout is an art, for here, failing to set the layout properly would render a cultivator extremely unsuccessful. Even possessing numerous and powerful spirit beads would be in vain.
On his home planet, Lin Yifan was a high-level Spirit Formation Master.
Why stress this? Setting the layout and setting formations have similarities; however, setting formations is slightly more complicated, especially with Immortal-level formations.
Spirit Beads simplify these complicated steps, making a powerful array easier to form, and adding natural attributes creates a colorful and ever-changing array.
Learning from each failure and rising from each fall, a day later, Lin Yifan finally learned how to set the Earth Escape Plate.
Due to the weak attributes of these spirit beads, he is uncertain how long the Earth Escape technique will last, so he plans to use it near the edge of Misty Forest.
However, just as he is about to move, a loud commotion arises around him. Then, he senses a strong aura gathering from all directions, pressing closer and closer.
He assumes it’s the forces of the Three Kingdoms surrounding Misty Forest that can’t hold back anymore.
Such dense spiritual power, they must have increased their manpower over the past few days.
With no chance in a one-on-one duel, and facing so many people, he is not an opponent, so of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, fleeing is the best strategy.
Without another word, Lin Yifan swiftly sets the layout, uses the Earth Escape technique from “Qimen Nine Escapes,” and flees swiftly.
“Open, Rest, Life Gates open!”
“Merge Yi with magic, combine Earth Dish with Six Ji, escape technique activate!”
Before him, twenty-two Spirit Beads quickly revolve under his command; then they connect with each other, transferring power, and shine brilliantly.
“Whoosh!”
In the next moment, he disappears from sight, escaping underground.
The Three Kingdoms forces searching for Lin Yifan see a flash. They suspect that it’s Lin Yifan’s doing, so they rush over.
But when they arrive at the spot where the glow appeared, they find it deserted.
Illuminating the area with fire, they discover fresh footprints that must have been left just recently.
Lin Yifan was here just moments ago, but he vanished into thin air, where has he gone?
They look around, trying to locate Lin Yifan, but no matter how they search, they can’t find him.
“Damn! Did he use an Instant Teleport Charm to escape?”
“Impossible, if he were going to use it, he would have done so long ago, not wait until now.”
“But if not that, then what could it be?”
“Don’t know, it’s truly bizarre!”
