Chapter 424 (2/2)

The underground cave was deep and isolated. Only after heading down a hundred zhang were they able to travel on horizontal ground that lead to the valley. They could see how difficult it was to break through the formation back then, and how great of a price was paid to open up this route.

There were still symbol remnants inside this ancient caverns, and the terrifying aura continued to diffuse through this area. If they hadn't been broken, a normal person would immediately die without leaving any remains upon coming into contact with those symbols.

By travelling along the ancient cave, they soon arrived in a bright area. They had entered the inside of the mountain valley where the first formation previously lied.

”Yi, this place is like a world of its own?!” The flame crow gasped.

Everyone became frightened. This region was too large, and they couldn't see the end from where they stood. They weren't sure just how many times larger this place was than the mountain valley they saw in the outside world. You have to understand that this was merely the first formation. Once hundreds were added together, how vast would that be?

They all felt like they had a headache. Could a great wilderness have been condensed here? Everyone began to try and size up this first formation, but they found that it was truly endless. From this, it meant that the true size of the divine valley was even more limitless.

”I reckon that the hundred formations added together should cover several tens of thousands of li, maybe even more,” Huo Ling'er speculated.

A territory as large as this made everyone's teeth sore. Just how ridiculous was this? This great formation covered tens of thousands of li, so just how great was the one who created such a thing?! This was absolutely astonis.h.i.+ng.

”What is the purpose of this? Who is so senseless as to bring about such an enormous formation?” The nine-headed lion spoke in a rather troubled tone.

”There aren't any opportunities for life here…” s.h.i.+ Hao revealed an astonished expression. There wasn't much vegetation within this first formation, and the little that was here was scattered about. It seemed like all of the spiritual essence here had been sucked dry.

”Apart from protection formations, there are also spiritual congregation formations. They are all concentrated towards the center of the vast valley.” The purple-clothed Yun Xi spoke.

”The spiritual essence from tens of thousands of li shouldn't all be for the purpose of nurturing that single stalk of spiritual root, right?” Huo Ling'er revealed a look of shock.

What kind of plant was that? If this was true, then the requirements for its growth was just too terrifying.

Even s.h.i.+ Hao was greatly shaken. This mountain valley was definitely laid out by an unmatched great figure, one that likely did not belong to this world.

”All of this was purposely left behind by someone to one day be picked up.” s.h.i.+ Hao said softly. If this was the case, then an unmatched individual would once again appear!

Under Lin Kun's lead, they once again entered the ancient cavern. This route lead to the second formation, and there were definitely spatial symbols here. There was an incomparably vast distance, yet they quickly crossed it and arrived on the ground.

As expected, the second formation was seemingly boundless as well. It covered just as much s.p.a.ce as the first formation, and it was similarly devoid of life. There wasn't anything valuable here.

Lin Kun reminded, ”If we continue to advance, it will be dangerous. The medicine G.o.d's child died in the third formation, and he was only able to break through a portion of the restrictions.”

”Let's go.” s.h.i.+ Hao only wanted to take a look, so he obviously wouldn't take risks.

Upon entering the third formation, there was a safe region. There were already a hundred or more people here that were currently studying the formation or trying to find something.

These people consisted of great figures of the Medicine Capital along with their disciples and descendants. They were here to see if they could stumble upon any heavenly opportunities. Even though this chance had been given to them, the amount of things that could be gained here was limited.

This safe area was not particularly large. Hazy mist blurred the surroundings, making it hard to see beyond them distinctly.

Many people were searching in that area in hopes of obtaining something.

”Yi, there are quite a few magical artifact fragments.” Sure enough, there were many ruined artifacts here like broken formation flags, shattered primordial symbol bones, and fractured medicinal cauldrons.

”Those are the remains of the senior.” Lin Kun spoke and pointed forward.

The flesh on that body had long disappeared, and the bones were dark gray in color. It was extremely abnormal, as if it would crack apart from a light touch. It had suffered from the power of a terrifying formation.

In addition, there was a spiritual gathering formation here that had completely extracted all of the body's essence.

”Staying here for too long will cause a severe drainage of one's essence…” They hadn't stayed here for that long, but s.h.i.+ Hao and the others already had this kind of feeling.

The third formation hadn't been completely broken through, and as such, they couldn't even remain in this safe region for too long, or else there was a chance of dying.

”Elder Lin, you came.” Someone greeted.

”The medicine G.o.d's heir is precisely our ancestral master and an extremely formidable figure. From our research, it seems like he managed to break into the deity level in the later stages of his life and followed a diagram here.”

The information they disclosed was extremely shocking, immediately startling s.h.i.+ Hao. He couldn't help but observe with that dual-pupil.

Was it really a divine level expert? s.h.i.+ Hao trembled inwardly, because he noticed that a certain bone hadn't completely turned dark gray. There was a type of divine light flickering about it with the aura of a deity curling about.

Even a divine individual only managed to break through two and a half formations while possessing a portion of the formation diagram. Exactly how terrifying was this place?!

s.h.i.+ Hao no longer had much hope, because this place was too dangerous. Moreover, after walking around this place, he didn't find the bronze piece.

”Yi, there really was one!” RIght when he felt like he wasted his time and was about to give up, the dual-pupil inadvertently caught a strange aura that was the same as the bronze piece on him.

When he carefully observed it, he immediately exulted. It was surprisingly the other half! This truly was an unexpected surprise.
