chapter 49: takes the treasure meng zhang planned to use his physical body and soul to stabilize the two formation eyes separately. however, there was a major problem with this plan. the moment he used divine soul left the body, his physical body essentially became a lifeless shell with no autonomous movement capability. fortunately, meng zhang had experienced divine soul left the body multiple times before and was very familiar with this situation. even though the physical body lost its autonomous movement, it was still a living body with vitality, and it would react reflexively to external stimuli. with a concrete plan in mind, meng zhang activated his deception breaking eye and cautiously moved within the formation, searching for the two formation eyes. thankfully, while the yin yang reversal formation was a second rank formation, most of its power had been used to nurture the jade soul fluid, leaving its defensive capabilities limited. furthermore, due to the lack of maintenance for a long time, the formation had developed some flaws. after spending some time, meng zhang managed to find his targets, and the two formation eyes were not far apart, with a distance of less than ten zhang between them. there was no obstruction in between, allowing the yin and yang forces to exchange easily. meng zhang arrived at the corresponding position of each formation eye, sat cross-legged, held the defensive magic tool, billowing sea mirror, which he had salvaged, in his right hand, and took out the first rank formation breaking talisman he obtained after killing boss zhang in his left hand. he started circulating the true qi within his body. true qi flowed like a river, circulating through his acupoints. according to his estimation, even if he didn't actively control the flow of true qi at this moment, it would continue to run according to inertia. with the timing calculated, meng zhang immediately concentrated his mind and used divine soul left the body. in this yin qi-rich environment, his soul should have felt quite comfortable. however, his instinct told him that there was a force within the formation that could completely erase his soul. meng zhang didn't dare to be careless. as soon as his soul moved, he quickly came to the position of the other formation eye. once there, he used the soul technique he learned from the trial ground to condense a soul armor for defense and then used another soul technique to increase the speed of his soul. as soon as meng zhang finished enhancing the soul techniques, a significant change occurred with his physical body. although he lost control, the true qi within his body continued to run according to inertia and skillfully reached his hands. the first rank formation breaking talisman in meng zhang's left hand was hit by true qi and immediately self-ignited, turning into a stream of light shooting upwards. the first rank formation breaking talisman couldn't break a second rank formation, but it was enough to stimulate a reaction from the formation. the yin yang reversal formation immediately responded. in each of the two formation eyes, a powerful force emerged, ready to drive the formation to react. feeling the external stimulus, meng zhang's physical body instinctively moved, holding the billowing sea mirror, which he had already refined, in his right hand. the external force caused the billowing sea mirror to emit a soft light, creating a watery light screen that firmly protected meng zhang's entire body. meng zhang's soul dived into the pool, using all its strength to scoop up all the jade soul fluid. even though it was only a few drops of jade soul fluid, meng zhang's soul felt as if it was carrying a mountain. the pressure was immense. enduring the tremendous pressure, meng zhang's soul moved at full speed. the soul armor on meng zhang's soul was completely worn out, dissolving into blue smoke. even on his soul, there were several wounds. if his soul wasn't exceptionally tough, it would have been severely injured long ago. just before his soul was heavily damaged by the fiend qi, meng zhang's soul successfully returned to its original place. once the soul returned, meng zhang took out a jade bottle and stored all the jade soul fluid inside it. meanwhile, he kept running at his fastest speed towards the outside of the formation. in fact, there were still many precious treasures within this formation. it used the fiend qi from underground as the yin attribute power while providing yang attribute power through a large piece of red sun warm jade. meng zhang cultivated the lesser yang qi art. if he obtained a yang attribute treasure like the red sun warm jade, it would bring him countless benefits. additionally, to cultivate the jade soul fluid within the yin yang reversal formation, besides the power provided by the formation, it required numerous precious materials. these materials were laid out in the stone chamber, ready for anyone to pick up. however, meng zhang kept a clear head and focused only on the jade soul fluid. he didn't actively pick up anything else. as events unfolded, meng zhang's foresight proved to be correct, allowing him to escape disaster. just as he left the stone chamber, the stagnant yin yang reversal formation resumed its operation. it seemed to have experienced some sort of backlash, running almost at full capacity. the underground fiend qi condensed and swept through the formation, showing no mercy to any living beings. if meng zhang were still inside the formation at this time, he would hardly have any resistance against the raging fiend qi. sacrifices and gains, knowing what to give up is crucial; without knowing what to let go of, he wouldn't have obtained the jade soul fluid and might even lose his life.
