Outside the stone gate.

The array master, Lian Shan, was already covered in sweat.

Wan Kui, who was beside him, suffered serious injuries after the initial attempt, although he had already repaired them with the power of Heavenly Secrets.

However, he was still somewhat listless at this time.

Especially after sensing the unique aura emanating from the stone gate, he felt a sense of dread, an inexplicable premonition that made him tense.

He even regretted taking on this task.

He knew that the Superpower Federation was targeting Lin Jinglong not only to deal with the Ten Heavenly Clans, but also because the Federation had recently gained a top-tier expert.

His strength is no less than his, and he doesn't need any divine secrets.

All it takes is to sweep away the demonic energy in the Northern Region.

Cultivate using the essence of the Heavenly Demon to forge a powerful physical body.

He reached the pinnacle of the Dao-Merging Supreme Being!

That person's name is Lin Ruchu!

"Sigh, what's so great about Lin Ruchu? His strength is only slightly better than mine. Although he can cultivate without the help of the Heavenly Secrets, why should I do the work for him?"

Wan Kui was starting to get impatient as he watched Lian Shan struggle to break the formation.

Lian Shan was covered in sweat. He stood in front of the stone gate, frantically trying to figure out a way to break the formation, but he still couldn't come up with a solution. The restrictions on the stone gate were completely different from any ancient formations of the Great Xia Dynasty that he remembered.

It was a very pure and simple power.

It is not a restriction that can be broken by skill.

It seems more like certain special conditions need to be met before it can be easily passed.

Just as he was hesitating about whether to give it a try.

Suddenly the stone gate shook, and the dust that had accumulated over countless years was shaken off once again.

Lian Shan was suddenly stunned; he hadn't even started breaking the formation yet!

Behind him, Wan Kui ran over, patted Lian Shan on the shoulder, and said with a smug look, "Very good. You broke this formation without even trying. Did you break the restriction with a secret technique of the divine soul?"

"I... Chief, something terrible has happened!"

Lian Shan's mind works better.

He had already considered the worst-case scenario.

That is, when they arrived, they happened to run into Lin Jinglong coming out of seclusion. This guy was about to come out!

"It wasn't me who broke the formation, it was Lin Jinglong..."

Before he finished speaking, two figures appeared behind the opened stone door: Lin Jinglong and Sikong Tang in his Yin God form.

Two supreme powerhouses, one before and one after, spanning a thousand years.

It was right there in front of them. Apart from Lian Shan, who was covered in sweat and felt a strange fear, the others didn't show any particular reaction.

Although Wan Kui was a little embarrassed, he touched his nose.

"So it wasn't you who broke the formation?"

But he still looked Lin Jinglong up and down, and a weight was lifted from his heart. What he feared most was that the great formation could not be activated, or that after it was activated, some strange and mysterious things were hidden inside.

He reached this level solely through his extraordinary martial arts talent, unlike those hidden forces. Back then, he was just a fisherman in Southeast Asia.

Therefore, his foundation is not that deep. Lian Shan is like an external brain to him, but he also understands that Lian Shan is not omnipotent. When he encounters some ancient restrictions, he is also unable to solve them.

Especially in some dangerous places, they might die in those hidden places. For example, a large number of traces of celestial secrets appeared in the South Seas. He himself almost died in that secret place.

The Superpower Federation lost dozens of top experts and exhausted most of its resources to dig out the things in the South Seas, allowing them to obtain a large amount of heavenly secrets.

Upon seeing Lin Jinglong, Wan Kui actually felt relieved.

"You must be Lin Jinglong?"

"It's me."

Lin Jinglong looked at him with amusement.

He whispered to Sikong Tang, who was standing nearby, "Do you know this person?"

Lin Jinglong saw that this guy also had nearly a hundred strands of heavenly secrets on his body. He thought that he was like Zhang Shentong and others, some old-timers who were hiding behind the scenes.

But Sikong Tang simply shook his head.

"I don't know this person, but I can tell that he is just a boorish man. Even though he has reached the Dao Integration Supreme Realm, he still smells of fish."

Sikong Tang was once a top-tier expert, virtually unmatched in the Northern Region and even the entire Great Xia Dynasty. His ability to judge people was still very strong.

He saw through Wan Kui's true nature at a glance.

Lin Jinglong smiled with relief.

"Turns out he was just a stinky fishmonger!"

What the hell are you saying?

Wan Kui's face flushed red; he was quite exasperated.

Although the Superpower Federation unearthed a rare treasure in the South Seas, he was one of the biggest winners and rose from a Celestial Martial Emperor to a top-tier powerhouse, all of which happened in a short period of time.

But his state of mind remains the same as before.

He hadn't cultivated the mindset a true strong person should have, so when others looked down on his origins, he displayed anger that was inconsistent with his level of understanding.

Lin Jinglong also glanced at him with some surprise.

"You're already in such a hurry?"

Faced with Lin Jinglong's provocation.

Wan Kui was furious and snorted coldly.

"Fine, I've been guarding this place all along to take your life. There's no point in arguing with you anymore. I might as well just punch you to death!"

After he finished speaking, he was about to step forward.

Lian Shan suddenly stopped him.

He said in a low voice, "Chief, you've forgotten, I'm an expert in aura reading. This person... is very dangerous."
