The Path of Immortality: Starts With Creating Water Bear Gu

"That's right! I was thinking the same thing. Leaving any marks in this maze is useless, as not only can the path behind us change at any moment, but the way forward can also change at any time. We're just like headless flies, running around aimlessly."

"This is also the terrifying aspect of this formation. A constantly changing maze is enough to trap and kill the majority of people."

"Even more frightening is that the trap formation designed by the master of this array is so exquisitely crafted that, with my eye as a Third-grade Formation Master, I still can't find a single flaw."

"In theory, the more combinations in a formation, the more flaws it should have. Yet here, with such a vast area and countless formations, I can't find a single flaw. This is truly terrifying."

"Without flaws, and without considering breaking the formation through brute force, we can only follow the rules of this world."

"There’s a high possibility that there is only one exit, and this only exit must be hidden very deeply. We must find this exit to get out."

"This exit is probably not hidden within a certain world; we need to understand the pattern of the world's changes to find it. However, figuring out this pattern is no easy task."

"It seems I was too confident. This grand formation is far more troublesome than I imagined and is definitely not easy to break. If I, Long Qian, were to be trapped here by a basic formation today, wouldn't I become a laughingstock? That would indeed be a disgrace."

Long Qian revealed a bitter smile. He had been careless. If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have rushed in recklessly. Now it seems that even if he manages to find that exit, it will still take quite some time.

And for a Third-grade Formation Master like him to spend so much time breaking a basic formation is equally disgraceful.

"How much longer will it take for us to get out of here?" At this moment, Long Biao walked over with a pained expression.

He had stubbornly followed them in, and now he was suffering for it.

The environments in these various worlds were increasingly harsh—lava fields that could roast a person alive, and ice worlds that could freeze someone to death. As a pampered young master, he had never suffered like this. Not long after entering, he could no longer endure it.

Especially since he had boarded the ship in haste and hadn’t prepared anything. Who would have thought to bring warm clothes?

Now, after entering the ice world, wearing only thin clothes, he was frozen to the point of shivering uncontrollably, hugging his shoulders tightly like a dead dog.

If he had known that entering here would lead to such suffering, he wouldn’t have come in even if it killed him. But now it was too late for regrets; he was destined to pay a heavy price for his rashness.

Seeing him in such a pitiful state, Long Qian was exasperated and impatiently said, "Did I ask you to come in? You insisted on coming in to seek death!"

"If you're cold, endure it! If the path ahead leads to a lava field, you’ll warm up. If the next world is still an ice world, and the one after that is still an ice world, then you can just freeze to death here! No one will collect your corpse!"

Saying this, he strode forward without paying him any more attention.

Long Ruoxue immediately followed, taking out a piece of paper and writing and drawing on it, obviously trying to map out the area to understand the pattern here.

……

In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.

The people outside the array were still waiting, and the Ten Clan Elders were finally becoming impatient.

"Why aren’t they out yet? We've been waiting for two days! He's a dignified Third-grade Formation Master. Could he really be trapped inside by a mere basic formation?"

"Heh!" The Great Elder stroked his beard and chuckled, "It seems Long Qian has indeed hit a snag. To be trapped by such a small basic formation for so long—he's really lost face this time, hasn't he?"

The Second Elder hesitated and said, "It's been so long. Could something really have happened in there? Maybe we should let him out. If he really got hurt, it would be hard for us to explain."

Long Wanli laughed, "There's no need to worry about him. It's just a trap formation, without any killing intent. It won’t kill anyone in a short time."

"But the environment there is harsh, and staying in too long would indeed be miserable. I'm not worried about him, but those two juniors who went in with him will have a tough time. The harsh environment there is not something a Marrow Cleansing Stage Gu cultivator can easily endure."

"However, two days is still a bit short; we should at least give him seven days to break the formation."

The Great Elder smiled bitterly and said, "The problem now is that we don’t know the exact time of their match with the Bai Clan. If we miss that time, it could be disastrous."

"So we should release them as soon as possible to avoid delaying something important."

Long Wanli suddenly realized, yes, the timing of the match is crucial and cannot be delayed.

He quickly wrote a letter at the fastest speed possible and handed it to the Suo Gu that crawled out from his insect rearing bag.

……

What they didn’t know was that at this moment, Long Xuan was admiring his newly crafted clothing, looking at himself repeatedly in a large mirror.

If there were outsiders present, they would undoubtedly be curious about where his clothes were. At this moment, he was clearly stark naked, not a single thread on him—where were these clothes?

There was a faint dark energy flowing over his body, quickly disappearing without a trace.

It was clearly an invisible outfit. No, to be precise, he wasn’t wearing anything at all, which was quite shocking.

His newly woven Heavenly Dream Soul Armor had already fused into his skin, so it was as if he wasn’t wearing anything.

Long Xuan stood in front of the mirror for a long time, only admiring his own majestic figure. But in the end, he was left with nothing to admire—there was no clothing to be seen.

Could this be the Emperor's New Clothes in the legend? Long Xuan was completely astonished.

After countless days and nights of hard work by the Heavenly Dream Silkworm, he had finally gathered enough material for a single outfit.

Overjoyed, he immediately paused his body technique research and rushed to create the Heavenly Dream Soul Armor.

He had visited Long Ziyan's home a few times and had learned a decent tailoring skill.

Creating the Heavenly Dream Soul Armor was something only he could do. How could he trust it to someone else? Otherwise, the existence of the heaven-defying Soul Silk would be exposed.

This was his secret, an important trump card that he had to keep hidden, absolutely not something anyone else could know.

So, this tailoring task had to be completed by him personally.

Today, he had just finished making the Heavenly Dream Soul Armor, and immediately put it on, rushing to the mirror in excitement.

However, because he had designed the *Heavenly Dream Soul Armor to merge with his body, the moment he put it on, it instantly fused into his skin, leaving him with nothing to admire.

Although he couldn’t see the Heavenly Dream Soul Armor, he could completely feel its presence.

He could sense that his entire body, every part, was now covered with a thin layer of energy.

Even his eyeballs were enveloped by a layer of mysterious energy, yet it did not affect his vision at all.

Thus, the eyes, a weak point for all living beings, were no longer a vulnerability for him. If anyone wanted to attack his eyes, they would first have to break through the Heavenly Dream Soul Armor's defense.
