Chapter 77 Xuan Gu: He's in a hurry
If it weren't for the fear of alerting the enemy, Qingfeng could easily break through the entire outer illusion array.
The fact that only one path for a single person was opened at this point was a result of his deliberate control.
"Sigh, others are afraid of Xuan Gu and want to run away, but I'm worried that Xuan Gu will run away when it sees me."
Qingfeng glanced at his father beside him, feeling incredibly safe.
"Feng'er, the outer illusion array was easy to break, but the restrictions inside are much more difficult. Are you still confident? Do you need your father's help?"
Qing Sanyang reached out and tapped the yellow light shield.
It's worth noting that the "Qingyang Sect Array Manual" was written by him. In the field of array formations, Master Sanyang is quite an authority.
"You don't need to intervene for now. This yellow light shield is a genuine protective barrier, a bit more troublesome than the outer illusion array, but the approach is similar. Watch me break it."
Qingfeng took a short breath to adjust his breathing. Without the Xuan Bone to open a back door, it would take a long time to break through the entire magic array's restrictions directly.
However, it is still easy to temporarily create an opening so that the two can enter.
He activated the Starry Nine Palaces Formation again. This time, the nine flags no longer formed a complete formation diagram. Instead, each of them shot out a slender and condensed starlight, like nine probes, which focused on the same point on the yellow light shield.
As ripples spread across the surface of the light shield, his spiritual energy was rapidly depleted.
Time passed slowly, and after an incense stick had burned.
"break!"
Two beads of sweat rolled down Qingfeng's forehead as he pointed.
"Buzz—Click!"
The yellow light shield emitted a clear cracking sound.
"Father, let's go inside."
Qingfeng took a slight breath.
"Um."
Qing Sanyang handed Qing Feng a bottle of pills, which contained pills to restore spiritual power.
Qingfeng took the pills and swallowed half of the bottle in one gulp. Then, the father and son entered the yellow light barrier.
Meanwhile, the five bald men who had entered a short time earlier had already searched the place thoroughly for anything of value and were now venturing deeper.
"What kind of pillar is this?"
Bald Liu Daqiang reached out and touched a round pillar that was several meters tall.
"Don't touch anything, be careful of the hidden restrictions here!"
The cultivator surnamed Bai said sternly.
"Liu Daqiang, if you act rashly again, you'll be staying here by yourself."
Scarface frowned.
"Oh, no, Brother Dao, I was wrong."
Bald Liu Daqiang quickly walked over to his companions.
"Let's go. These pillars look valuable, but they feel a bit eerie."
The cultivator surnamed Feng glanced at his old friend beside him.
The monk surnamed Zhou also agreed.
The five people continued forward along a stone-paved path and soon saw a crimson light shield in the center.
As they moved a little closer, they felt a scorching heat.
Within the flame-colored light barrier, countless winged fire snakes were constantly spewing flames.
"What kind of monster is this?"
Upon seeing this, bald Liu Daqiang asked in shock.
The others also looked surprised.
Clearly, these few people didn't recognize "Fire Spirit - Winged Evil".
After all, cultivators who know the origins of "Winged Evil" must come from families with some wealth and resources.
"Brother Bai, how do we get in? This thing looks dangerous."
Bald Liu Daqiang looked at their "array master".
"This formation... should be a fire-attribute formation, which needs to be broken with a water-attribute magic weapon that is its opposite."
"Brother Liu, aren't you a water-attribute cultivator? Presumably your magic weapon is also water-attribute; we'll need you to break this formation."
The white-robed monk pretended to know a lot and said.
"Ah, me?"
Bald Liu Daqiang was taken aback, but seeing that everyone else was looking at him, he couldn't very well refuse.
Reluctantly, he walked to the barrier and took out his natal magic weapon, a harpoon, and smashed it against the barrier.
"laugh--!"
The countless fire demons with winged wings inside the light shield immediately went berserk.
"Oh no, the restriction has been triggered! Run!"
The cultivator surnamed Bai, who claimed to be the most knowledgeable about formations, changed his expression and hurriedly summoned his natal magic weapon to protect himself and retreat.
The others quickly followed suit, leaving only bald Liu Daqiang, who was closest to Chi E, alone.
"Help me! Help me!"
Seeing the winged demons surrounding him, he only had time to let out a scream before being reduced to ashes by the scorching flames, leaving only a storage bag behind...
In a deep cave underground.
A skeleton, as white as jade, lay half-reclined beside the pool.
A small, emerald-green arrow, about a foot long, was stuck in the skull of the skeleton, pinning it firmly to the ground, making it look extremely eerie.
"Idiots! Idiots! A bunch of idiots!"
A sinister, ghostly figure emerged from the skeleton.
It was out of anger that Xuan Gu Shangren—Xiao Cha—revealed his true form.
"Five Core Formation cultivators spent three months trying to break the illusion array, and I had to go easy on them and personally control the outer array to open the passage."
Why don't you bunch of idiots go and break the spirit-sealing pillars?!
Why did you have to provoke those Fire Spirit Winged Evils! Why did you have to court death?!
Xuan Gu, in his ghostly form, couldn't understand it; the Core Formation cultivators in this cultivation world were truly getting worse with each generation.
Thinking of his two cunning disciples, one extremely treacherous, the other as cunning as a fox...
"Forget it, we can't count on these idiots. But the outer barrier was just broken again, so there must be more people coming in."
Sigh, I hope the new person who comes in won't be such an idiot.
He had been trapped here for many years, and now someone had finally found him.
Whether they can escape this predicament depends on this opportunity.
Meanwhile, Qingfeng, who had just entered the area, was listening to his father explain the "Spirit Sealing Pillar" before him.
"Feng'er, don't be fooled by its appearance as an ordinary stone pillar."
But in reality, this pillar contains a mixture of more than a dozen extremely precious refining materials. This single pillar is worth five or six thousand spirit stones.
Qing Sanyang, with his hands behind his back, became his son's teacher.
"Dad, you know all this? You're really amazing!"
Qingfeng gave his father a thumbs up, maximizing his emotional value.
An old house where a treasure.
My father, as a Nascent Soul cultivator, has exceptionally high levels of knowledge and experience.
The stone pillar in front of him was a "Spirit Sealing Pillar," a special magical artifact crafted by ancient cultivators to seal away nearby spiritual energy and completely prevent it from leaking out.
"The spirit-locking array and spirit-gathering array in our family's 'Qingyang Sect Array Manual' actually have the same principle as this pillar."
Qing Sanyang enjoyed his son's praise.
"So, this pillar can be used to isolate spiritual energy or suppress certain powerful ghosts and demons, preventing them from transforming and escaping."
Qingfeng patted the pillar; this thing was very likely set up by Jiyin back then.
As for its function... it must be the second one, used to suppress the Xuan Bone.
"Since these pillars are quite valuable, I'll take them all."
Qingfeng activated the Heavenly Demon Art, making his body stronger. He stepped forward, picked up a pillar, and pulled it outwards.
Just as he was pulling with great effort, a figure slipped into the light barrier.
"Hey! You little brats, how dare you sneak in and steal while I, the island lord, am away!"
A gaunt, strange cultivator with a bizarre flower basket at his waist pointed at Qingfeng and Qing Sanyang with fierce triangular eyes and shouted sternly.
Qingfeng glanced at it and realized it was that strange man with the flower basket.
How come he's been occupying this place all this time?
"Father, this person is strange. Remember to use the Soul Searching Technique to search him before killing him."
Qingfeng continued pulling on the pillar, ignoring the strange man with the flower basket.
Although the Flower Basket Monster is at the mid-stage of Core Formation and possesses the ancient treasure Flower Basket, his opponent... is none other than his own father, who is at the peak of the Yuan stage.
