90: Chapter 90: Exploration, Probing, and Official Attention.

By utilizing such Yin-Yang displacement, it draws upon the surrounding Heaven and Earth Qi magnetic field. It disrupts biological magnetic fields and inverts sensory direction; the stronger one's conviction and desire to explore towards the core, the more one is diverted elsewhere.

Unless it is someone like the Incarnation who has the protection of acquired Qi and knows how to follow the overall trend of the layout to enter, they will not be able to avoid the influence and arrive safely.

These two Feng Shui layouts are sufficient to prevent those driven by greed from entering this place.

If anyone recklessly enters this place,

they will at best return to where they started, and at worst, be affected by the inverted magnetic field of this place, causing their biological magnetic fields to become chaotic and resulting in various bizarre symptoms.

They might feel unbearable heat in this bone-chilling snowy mountain, or a calm and composed person might become irritable and quick-tempered, among other things.

Although it cannot directly take a life, it is enough to make those who are unaware of the situation shrink back.

With the Incarnation's current strength and the help of the [Feng Shui Master] profession, these small Feng Shui layouts spanning a dozen or so miles can be fully set up in two or three days.

Besides this, there is another Feng Shui layout involving his own extraordinary ritual that also needs early preparation.

These days, Wang An has been continuously contemplating the [Vortex Pit] Feng Shui layout at the mine.

Based on this, and combining it with his deeper understanding, he has developed a large-scale energy-gathering layout that converges the Heaven and Earth Qi energy of the entire Feng Shui field.

He named this the [Myriad Qi Returning to Origin] Feng Shui layout,

this is to gather the Heaven and Earth Qi of the entire Jiuzhaigou region, turning the location in the core area of Tianhe Mountain where the extraordinary ritual will be held into a high-energy field environment identical to the Qingyang Qi Chamber.

However, unlike that one, this Feng Shui layout does not seek a high-energy field in a small area. It helps the core area of Tianhe Mountain continuously increase and concentrate energy. This can prevent the chemical reaction of unknown Heaven and Earth Qi caused by excessive concentration.

When holding the extraordinary ritual, the ritual can also draw the large amount of energy it requires from it.

However, because the coverage area of this Feng Shui layout is too large, it requires a significant amount of time to set up.

During the setup process, these three layouts will continuously increase the strength of the Feng Shui field throughout the Jiuzhaigou region, gradually driving away the humans exploring inside and some of the more fragile creatures.

A few days later, after the Incarnation finished setting up the [Nine Locks Maze] Feng Shui layout,

Exploration Teams following behind the official Recovery Bureau squads to scavenge for leftovers discovered that the area above the waist of Tianhe Mountain was covered in thick fog, with extremely low visibility.

Regarding this situation, various Exploration Teams thought it was similar to the fog they usually encountered and would dissipate in a day or two.

But unexpectedly, after a few days had passed, the fog here not only did not dissipate, but even intensified, spreading towards the foot of the mountain.

Five days after the Incarnation began setting up the Feng Shui layouts, he finally finished setting up these two Feng Shui layouts completely.

From the foot of Tianhe Mountain or further away, one could see a mountain over 2,000 meters high, seemingly surging into the clouds.

Its entire body was covered by thick white mist, just like a white blanket covering the whole mountain.

Higher and deeper, a large cloud mass even appeared, completely obscuring the situation at the summit.

And upon entering the thick fog, the visibility was shockingly low, almost reaching the point where one could not even see their own hand in front of their face.

Such a strange situation not only attracted the attention of various Exploration Teams to explore inside.

The Recovery Bureau stationed here also deployed another special recovery squad to delve deep into this mountain to explore what was going on.

However, even after the top exploration squad from the Recovery Bureau headquarters returned after successfully hunting that black bear, no one had truly entered the depths of this mountain.

They were always just circling around the foot and waist of the mountain.

Some Exploration Teams even had a few members make a wrong step and break their legs.

This situation also caused the other Exploration Teams to calm down and become less blind.

But as the saying goes, the more you don't let me in, the more I want to go in.

People all have such rebellious psychology.

Four days later, the scientific research team sent by the authorities arrived here.

This immediately ignited the enthusiasm of the original Exploration Team here to enter. Even Exploration Teams from other regions, upon receiving news of this place, were also rushing over.

Regarding this situation, the Incarnation was also helpless.

After all, his approach felt a bit like "there is no silver buried here" (a classic idiom for drawing attention to something you're trying to hide). Although he was very certain that with people's current research on Feng Shui fields, no one could break through and enter the core area of Tianhe Mountain.

Fortunately, he could not control this enthusiasm for exploration.

He even took advantage of this time, while other Exploration Teams were keen on exploring here.

He accelerated his pace of setting up the [Myriad Qi Returning to Origin] Feng Shui layout in other places, continuously drawing the surrounding Heaven and Earth Qi into the core area of Tianhe Mountain.

As time passed, the high-energy field environment created by the continuously gathering Heaven and Earth Qi in the core area of Tianhe Mountain also attracted the Mutant creatures near this mountain to this place.

Among them, some lucky and powerful Mutant creatures broke into the edge of the [Yin-Yang Inversion]. They were gradually strengthened by the energy spilling out from the core area. But at the same time, their biological magnetic fields were disrupted by the Feng Shui layout, causing them to go mad and become furious.

They attacked the crowds still exploring in the surroundings and other creatures.

Creatures from all around were gathering here, seemingly attracted by something, and these Mutant creatures that had become stronger on the mountain were rushing down in a frenzy.

This situation immediately attracted the attention of the high-level officials at the Recovery Bureau headquarters.

In the conference room of the Recovery Bureau headquarters, Director Shi Jianjun was holding a meeting with a group of senior officials to discuss the strange situation here.

Chief Scientist Li Zhonghua of the Academy of Sciences introduced to them,

"According to the current calculations of the Academy of Sciences, it is very likely that the energy field in the central part of this foggy mountain has increased, attracting other Mutant creatures to head there."

"The specific cause of formation is still unknown, but according to the exploration information transmitted from the special squad,

although the fog has not expanded to other places, they finally managed to penetrate above the waist of the mountain using various methods."

"There have been some gains."

Chief Scientist Li Zhonghua pointed to the [Yin-Yang Inversion] part.

"Exploration has discovered that there is a strange magnetic field in the central part.

It can disrupt the biological magnetic fields of other creatures, interfere with perception, and invert the balance of various hormones in the body.

This leads to conditions such as manic irritability and unbearable body heat."

"The Academy of Sciences believes that the energy field elevation in this place

is somewhat similar to the way other special areas in the Forbidden Zone strengthen those creatures."

"Since the appearance of this foggy mountain, the growth rate of the magnetic field strength in the entire Jiuzhaigou region has suddenly become much faster.

According to current calculations, it won't be long before this area is no longer suitable for the survival of most creatures with three-dimensional attributes below 2 points."

Hearing this detailed explanation, the people present looked grave.

"Then this is troublesome."
