After following Ye Tianfei for three days and three nights, A Yao and the others finally arrived at their destination, a vast primeval forest. In the distance, towering peaks rose steeply, piercing the clouds. Within the mountains grew many trees that required several people to encircle, most of which were hundreds of years old, and some even thousands of years old.

Thick vines twined around the trees, adorned with colorful flowers that attracted numerous flying insects. Many of the plants appeared quite beautiful, but all of them were poisonous, as were the various insects that inhabited the area.

The air was filled with a faint miasma, which was also poisonous. Although these toxins posed no threat to Nascent Soul cultivators like A Yao, cultivators below the Core Formation stage would likely succumb to the poison and die shortly after entering this place.

When Ye Tian arrived, he also told everyone some things to pay attention to, as well as things around the ancient ruins, so no one was too surprised to see everything in this primeval forest.

The group transformed into six long rainbows and continued flying forward. After flying for about two hours, the ruins of some palaces began to appear around them, followed by surging yellow mist ahead.

Ayao released her divine sense, trying to probe what was inside the yellow mist. She saw that the yellow mist enveloped a huge palace that had collapsed halfway. The palace was covered with large vines, and the pillars around it were engraved with various restrictive runes. These restrictive runes did indeed look very ancient.

This is indeed an ancient ruin.

With a wave of his hand, Ye Tian caused the yellow mist to surge violently, and small flags flew out from all directions, forming a circle around him. The yellow mist vanished, revealing the ancient ruins. Ye Tian addressed the crowd, saying, "I set up this mist formation. When I arrived here, I broke all the outer protective arrays, but the inner arrays were simply too much for me to break alone."

"But I was very unwilling at the time, so I studied this place for several months and found that although I could not break the restriction by myself, as long as I combined the power of six Nascent Soul cultivators, we could definitely break it."

Fellow Daoist Hu crossed his arms and said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go in."

After saying that, he eagerly flew towards the ancient ruins ahead.

Ye Tian laughed heartily: "Fellow Daoist Hu is really impatient."

Ye Tian followed, and the others followed suit. Master Yiyuan, Zhang Lan, and A Yao looked around and discovered that there were indeed numerous restrictions outside the ancient ruins. Sensing the fluctuations in magical power outside, they confirmed that it originated several months ago, and the restrictions appeared to have been recently broken. It seemed Ye Tian wasn't lying.

The palace was towering, with massive pillars carved with dragons and phoenixes, supporting the roof. Although cracks had appeared, the interior of the palace still looked magnificent. It was unknown who had once resided in this palace. Ayao and her companions traversed corridors, delving deeper into the ancient ruins, and finally arrived at a certain place.

This place resembled a massive altar, upon which sat six stone cushions, each shaped like a lotus flower with a magic array carved in the center. Opposite them stood a colossal gate, tens of feet high, sealed shut and adorned with numerous ancient totems. Ayao and the others tried to probe what lay within the gate, but their divine senses were completely blocked by its immense size.

Divine senses could not penetrate, and they could not see what was behind the giant gate at all.

Although we don't know what's inside, judging from the scale of this ancient site and the abundant spiritual energy here, there must be a great opportunity within.

“This door can block divine sense, and that’s why I was blocked by it.”

Ayao looked at Ye Tian and said, "Fellow Daoist Ye, you asked us to work together to break down the door, but what if there's nothing behind it?"

It's not impossible, but it's very unlikely.

Fellow Daoist Hu smiled and said to Ye Tian, ​​"Fellow Daoist Ye, when you came here last time, did you obtain anything?"

Ye Tian laughed and said, "I did get some things."

Having said that, he raised his hand, and a precious pearl radiating five-colored light appeared before him. This pearl was a celestial artifact. Upon seeing this superior-grade celestial artifact, Fellow Daoist Hu, True Man Yiyuan, Zhang Lan, and Qin Xiong all had their eyes light up. A celestial artifact! It was actually a celestial artifact! Everyone became excited. Although A Yao had never obtained a celestial artifact when she was in the Canglan Realm, she had seen one before.

The patriarch of the Lu family of Kunshan was a powerful cultivator in the Integration stage; how could the Lu family not possess several immortal artifacts? She had even seen her father use immortal artifacts. Of course, such precious items as immortal artifacts were not for her. However, since obtaining Xiaobai, a corpse puppet in the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm, she had acquired two immortal artifacts. Therefore, seeing the immortal artifact in Ye Tian's hand now, she wasn't overly excited.

Ye Tian immediately put the treasure back.

Because Ye Tian took out this immortal artifact, Fellow Daoist Hu, True Man Yiyuan, Zhang Lan, and Qin Xiong were all very excited. Fellow Daoist Hu urged, "There must be other immortal artifacts behind this door. Quick, let's break the formation!"

"Fellow Daoist Ye, what should we do?"

Fellow Daoist Hu is not skilled in this restrictive formation.

"Ascend the lotus platform." Ye Tian said, flying towards one of the six lotus platforms.

Fellow Daoist Hu immediately flew towards a lotus platform next to Ye Tian.

Master Yiyuan's array formation skills were quite good. After observing carefully for a while, he also flew towards one of the lotus platforms. Then Zhang Lan and Qin Xiong also flew towards the lotus platforms and sat down cross-legged.

Ah Yao didn't move.

Many eyes turned to A Yao.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, what's wrong?" Ye Tian asked.

Ayao said, "I'm observing this formation."

Ye Tian said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, stop observing. I studied this formation for several months before I found a way to break it. Even if you have superb restriction skills, it will probably take you several months to develop another way to break the formation."

Ye Tian spoke politely, but in reality, he was mocking A Yao. "You, a mere early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, can you possibly be more capable than me, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator? Even if your restriction techniques are truly excellent, you'd still need to study them for several months, just like me. Who has the time to wait for you?"

Ayao looked at Ye Tian and said, "Fellow Daoist Ye, could you explain your method for breaking the formation now?"

Zhang Lan looked at A Yao: "Little sister, what's wrong with you?"

Ayao smiled and said, "It's nothing. It's just best to be cautious."

Master Yiyuan looked at Ayao, then at Ye Tian, ​​and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Ye, since you were going to tell us anyway, let's just say it like this."

Hearing this, Ye Tian suppressed his displeasure and said with a smile, "Alright."

So he inscribed the solution into five jade slips, and with a wave of his hand, the five jade slips flew towards A Yao and the others like five shooting stars.

Ayao reached out and took it.
