C72 (2/2)

After almost ten days, I finally reached Ji City. Ji City was about the same size as the Soy City, and there were slightly more people than the Soy City at a glance. I didn't go into the city because in the map that Old Song gave me, there is a mountain outside the city where the fire essence energy is sealed.

When I found the mountain, it was already sunset. I had thought that the person who sealed the essence energy should be looking for an extremely ordinary mountain peak, which would be even more inconspicuous if that were the case. However, I didn't expect it to be the highest mountain peak outside the city, and furthermore, there was a temple on the mountain.

I can't be bothered with this mortal temple, so I found the place where the essence energy was sealed.

The place where Essence Qi was sealed was on top of a cliff. On the cliff face, there was a pine tree with a flat rock underneath. When the rock was pushed in, a hole appeared, just large enough to accommodate a person. When I went into the hole, it was completely dark inside. When I looked into the hole, I could see clearly that the hole was dozens of feet high. Although the stone was slippery, it didn't affect walking much.

The tunnel led downwards. I walked along the slope for nearly four hours, but I still hadn't reached the bottom. I didn't want to investigate further, so I stopped in front of a huge boulder.

Old man Song said that the sealed area was behind this enormous rock. As for this enormous rock, it had already been covered with spells. Thus, ordinary people would not pay attention to it.

On the map that old man Song gave me, there is a corner with blood stains. It is the blood he left behind.

I imprinted Old Song's blood onto the stone. The blood had dried up a long time ago, but the stone still absorbed a little bit of it. 'Boom!' After a moment, the stone slowly moved away, revealing a five meter tall hole.

I bowed and entered the cave, keeping my guard up. I did not fully trust Old Brother Song's words.

The light in the cave was very dim. Even with my spiritual power, I couldn't see it clearly. I carefully took a few steps. Old man Song said that there was a stone lamp here that could emit light when infused with spiritual power.

After fumbling for a while, he found a lantern-like stone. After infusing his spirit energy, it began to slowly emit a gentle glow.

Under the illumination of the light, I was finally able to clearly see the place where fire essence energy was sealed.

In front of me is a space with a circumference of several dozen feet. There are many ancient stone pillars standing in front of me. These stone pillars are neither big nor tall. However, a few of the stone pillars were very shattered, and only half of them remained. It seemed like this was the corner that Old Lord Song and his wife had broken open before. But there aren't any bones here. Maybe his wife's bones are in the depths of the cave.

I do not know what kind of array formation these stone pillars are, but I only know that once they are formed, they will absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to stabilize themselves, and it is not easy to destroy them, and even if you break through them, the array formation will not weaken much, unless you have a high cultivation level, and you destroy them completely, or find the core of the array formation, which is also the starting point.

Looking at the formation before me, I took a deep breath and stepped into it.

There were only a few broken stone pillars in the first place. However, the moment he took a step forward, the scene before him abruptly changed.

I didn't dare move, and turned around to look at my surroundings. There was a boundless sea of sand in my surroundings, and the sun was hanging high above my head, causing me to feel a scorching heat. I looked around, and suddenly my mouth was dry and my tongue couldn't stand the heat, as if I was in a furnace.

Old man Song said from the back of the map that the first array was only an illusory one. As long as he removed all distractions and followed the method he mentioned, he would naturally be able to leave.

I have already memorized the method to deactivate the formation. Elder Song was afraid that I do not understand formations, so he wrote it in a very vulgar manner. Walk left three steps, turn right seven steps, retreat two steps, then move right again … After taking my final step, the scene before me crumbled. I was already within the pile of stone pillars, with only a jade box in front of me remaining. There was even a seal pasted on the jade box.

I reached out to touch the seal, and immediately a powerful pressure from my fingertip reached into my body. With a groan, I immediately let go, and a mouthful of blood pressure was already in my throat. This was indeed an extremely powerful seal!

Old man Song said that the essence energy was in this jade box. As for this seal, he needed to carefully study it before he could break it for me.

After storing the jade box in my Universe Ring, I turned my head to look at the pile of stone pillars. According to old man Song, the most miraculous thing about this formation was that it wasn't just a formation that had another formation inside, but a circular formation that could be entered from anywhere, just like how this formation was surrounded by stone pillars. The space in the center was very safe, but a circular formation like this was one type of formation, and once you entered, it would be another type of formation.

This array formation was an illusory magic array. Once it left, it would become a killing array!

I've only entered a killing array so far, and that's the one Deng Lin and Li Chenxi had set up at the absolute valley. Even though that formation is extremely rough and was broken by me using brute force, it's still a type of killing array.

I want to see if this killing formation can kill me. But I'm also afraid that if I were to be killed, I would die with grievance. After hesitating for a moment, I decided to go with the method that old sir Song told me to.
