By now, no one had found anything of value in the ruins, except for the medicinal herbs from last time. So, everyone felt that there was nothing of value left in the ruins, and naturally, their enthusiasm waned.

Each day, everyone covered less than half the distance they used to, and they were all just getting by, much like Liu Xiaoyuan. They were just waiting for the appointed time to leave this awful place.

On this day, everyone arrived at the edge of the grassland. After resting for a while, they decided to turn back along the way.

Everyone had just sat down on the ground, ready to take a good rest. Suddenly, with a loud rumble, the ground collapsed.

Since everyone was a cultivator, they naturally didn't panic like ordinary people when faced with such a situation. They immediately stood in the void, looking at the collapsed area.

A huge sinkhole had appeared where they had been sitting. It was enormous and, more importantly, bottomless, with no one knowing what lay beneath it.

Everyone stood in the void, none daring to descend. After the incident with the demon, everyone had become cautious. They didn't want to lose their lives instead of finding the magic treasure.

So everyone just looked at each other, and no one dared to take any action.

Seeing that everyone had stopped moving, Liu Xiaoyuan naturally knew what they were thinking. But at this moment, Liu Xiaoyuan became curious about what was down there.

In Liu Xiaoyuan's opinion, it wouldn't always be such a coincidence. There might be some powerful monster down there, so he thought there might be something good down there.

"Isn't everyone going down to take a look?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked, looking at Yang Xin'er and the other elders.

Yang Xin'er said, "I think we should forget it. What if there's another powerful demon down there? If we go down and release it, it would be like letting a tiger return to the mountain, which would cause endless trouble in the future."

The elders of Bihai Pavilion and Tianjian Sect also nodded in agreement with Yang Xin'er's opinion. What if another powerful demon suddenly appeared here? If even Liu Xiaoyuan couldn't deal with him, wouldn't the whole army be wiped out?

Elder Qin was even more frightened because their Flying Feather Sect had almost been wiped out. Therefore, Elder Qin was naturally extra careful about such matters.

"Everyone, I think we should leave here. It doesn't matter if we didn't find the magic treasure. As long as we're still alive, once our cultivation level is high enough, what kind of magic treasure won't we have?" Elder Qin said.

Liu Xiaoyuan smiled and glanced at Elder Qin, saying, "Elder Qin, there's no need to be so afraid. How about I go down and check the situation first? What do you think?"

Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, Yang Xin'er immediately said, "No, we don't know what the situation is down there. How can you go down alone?"

Seeing Yang Xin'er's concern for him, Liu Xiaoyuan felt a warmth in his heart and said with a smile, "Elder Yang, don't worry, rest assured, with my abilities, even if there is any danger down there, I can handle it safely."

“But…” Yang Xin’er wanted to say something, but Liu Xiaoyuan interrupted her with a smile and said, “Elder Yang, it’s alright, I’ll be fine, don’t worry.”

After saying that, without waiting for anyone else to say anything, Liu Xiaoyuan jumped directly into the huge sinkhole.

When they saw Liu Xiaoyuan recklessly jump into the sinkhole, Yang Xin'er, Chen Qiaoling, and Gu Yuxi were all on tenterhooks.

Unlike the others, these three women genuinely cared about Liu Xiaoyuan, while the others seemed indifferent to his life or death.

"That scoundrel, why is he so impulsive?" Yang Xin'er and the other two thought to themselves.

Liu Xiaoyuan entered the sinkhole, where he was surrounded by darkness and had to rely entirely on his divine sense to move forward.

After descending several kilometers, Liu Xiaoyuan finally felt his feet touch the ground.

After his feet touched the ground, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately used his divine sense to explore the surroundings and found that there was only one passage on his right, and this passage was very wide, almost as wide as a highway.

Liu Xiaoyuan immediately flew forward and walked along the wide road. After walking for about a kilometer, Liu Xiaoyuan discovered a huge stone gate.

This stone gate is just like the gate of generals and ministers in ancient times, except that it is made of stone. On both sides of this large stone gate, there are two stone lions guarding the gate.

Seeing this, Liu Xiaoyuan was not naive enough to think that this referred to a mansion.

Since it's underground, it must be a tomb. Whose tomb it is, we don't know. But judging from its scale, it's definitely not an ordinary person's.

Moreover, it's so elaborate, it doesn't seem like a cultivator's tomb. If it were a cultivator's tomb, there would definitely be more formations and fewer of these superficial things.

Of course, all of this is speculation. Whether this tomb belongs to a cultivator or to a general or minister from ancient times, we will only have the answer after we go inside.

Liu Xiaoyuan stood at the entrance of the stone gate, not acting rashly. He wanted to use his divine sense to enter and investigate the situation, but he found that as soon as his divine sense entered the stone gate and passed through a passage, it was blocked by a magic barrier.

After their divine sense was blocked by the formation, they were unable to probe the situation inside at all.

To investigate what's inside, the formation that's blocking divine sense must be broken.

Liu Xiaoyuan decided to stand outside and break this hateful formation!

So Liu Xiaoyuan immediately summoned a formation master through the God-level Invincible System. As soon as the formation master was summoned, Liu Xiaoyuan discovered that the formation master did not recognize the formation at all, let alone break it.

In other words, Liu Xiaoyuan's summoning of the formation master was in vain.

Since the summoning was in vain, Liu Xiaoyuan had no choice but to summon a late-stage Nascent Soul formation master to see if he could break the formation.

After the Nascent Soul stage array master emerged, he found that he still had no clue about the array and didn't even know its name.

Now, Liu Xiaoyuan was a little dumbfounded. He had summoned two array masters in a year, but neither of them recognized this array. This meant that the array was either too advanced or an ancient array.

In either case, it proves one thing: this formation is definitely not simple.

The formation is not simple, which means that breaking it will not be easy. With Liu Xiaoyuan's current abilities, breaking the formation might be impossible.

Oh my god, what should I do now?

This immediately stopped Liu Xiaoyuan in his tracks, leaving him at a loss. What good would it do to push open the stone door if the formation wasn't broken?
