Now, apart from Chen Yi's location, which is unaffected by the restrictions, all other places in the Yinshan Secret Realm are fraught with danger.

Once locked down by the restrictions, I'm afraid I'll really die here.

The restrictions set up by a Golden Core cultivator were not something he could withstand.

But he was not discouraged.

Ultimately, a restriction is nothing more than a type of formation.

He possesses the ability to "see through formations at a glance." While he might not be able to directly break the seal, there should still be hope of finding a way out...

“My cultivation level is not yet at the Foundation Establishment stage, so even if I leave the Yinshan Sect ruins, I won’t be directly locked by the restrictions,” he murmured.

Having said that, he summoned back the Thunder Demon Crimson Gold Python.

The previous battle with the Yinshan Sect Master had blocked the passage to the outside world, so he ordered the Thunder Ghost Crimson Gold Python to heal its injuries while clearing the blocked passages.

After so many days, the passage has been almost completely opened.

Chen Yi spurred the crimson python to move out of the mountain.

Several hours later, he arrived outside the cave.

The eerie mist had long since dissipated from Yinshan Mountain, and the bright moonlight shone like scattered silver fragments.

The strangely shaped dead trees outside the mountain added a sense of absurd holiness.

"As expected, the restriction doesn't target those below the Foundation Establishment stage. Although the Thunder Ghost Crimson Gold Python is a powerful demon at the Foundation Establishment stage, the restriction seems to have never targeted it. It seems this restriction only targets cultivators," Chen Yi muttered to himself.

However, the fact that the restriction did not immediately lock him down does not mean it will not later, since the restriction does indeed operate automatically during the closed period of the secret realm.

He took a deep breath and used his [One Glance at the Array] skill.

In the blink of an eye, my vision turned grayish-white.

Looking up, one can see incredibly complex array patterns intertwined, enveloping the entire secret realm and concealing terrifying power.

"This restriction seems to be related to the sword formation?"

Chen Yi noticed that some of the array patterns on the barrier seemed to be related to the sword array.

That is to say, when the restriction is triggered, the target is mainly killed by a sword formation.

However, this restriction was extremely complex, and even with his level of array formation, he couldn't see through it for the time being.

Fortunately, his spiritual strength is now different from before. After refining the five-hundred-year-old Nine Nether Grass, his spiritual strength is even stronger than that of a Qi Refining Level 10 cultivator.

In the past, he would feel dizzy or even faint if he could keep his eyes glued to the screen for a few seconds, but now it is very easy for him to do so.

A dozen seconds later, Chen Yi closed his eyes.

"This restriction is far beyond my understanding of formations. I can only barely discern some of its movement. If I go around that side, I should be able to travel safely for a while."

He ordered the Thunder Demon Crimson Gold Python to proceed according to his instructions.

And so they traveled for several miles.

"Clang!"

A lightsaber suddenly appeared around Chen Yi's neck.

"Hiss~"

The crimson python instantly contracted its pupils, daring not to move.

It could keenly sense that if this lightsaber were to fall, it could easily kill it...

Chen Yi once again activated his "one-glance-at-the-scenes" technique.

He discovered that the restriction had several variations, and the scope was so wide that he couldn't see them all at once.

But that's okay, he still has a chance to try and fail.

"Shift half a meter to the left, then meander forward, turn right straight after fifty meters, and then accelerate and rush forward."

This is the solution he discovered.

After understanding his orders, the Thunder Crimson Python carried out the plan exactly as instructed.

The lightsaber hovered for a few seconds, but did not fall.

A moment later, the lightsaber suddenly disappeared, and the chilling feeling of being locked on gradually dissipated.

Chen Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If he had made even one wrong step, the lightsaber would have fallen straight down.

At that time, he will lose his head, and the Thunder Ghost Crimson Python will be nailed there.

Yu Qian probably knew that it would be difficult for someone to leave the Yinshan Secret Realm under the protection of the barrier, which is why she apologized to Chen Yi.

However, she had witnessed Chen Yi's abilities firsthand. He was able to negotiate to this extent, so she probably had a premonition that he could turn the situation around; otherwise, she wouldn't have agreed.

"I'll have to find time to thank her after we get out," Chen Yi thought to himself.

Although the road out was incredibly difficult, Yu Qian did give him a glimmer of hope.

"And that Golden Core cultivator who targeted me, didn't he just steal your opportunity? Who knew it was yours! Using the remnants of the Yinshan Sect to condense true spiritual energy, and you think that doesn't count as doing something dirty? How hypocritical. Once I swallow a Golden Core and my fate is in my own hands, I'll make sure you get what's coming to you!"

Chen Yi made a silent vow.

......

Three days later, outside the Yinshan Secret Realm.

Several figures stood there. These people had extraordinary auras, most of them having already surpassed the Qi Refining stage. Only two or three were still in the Qi Refining stage, but they were all at the Qi Refining Perfection stage.

"Senior brother, can that boy who obtained the red phosphorescent fire really escape from Master's restrictions?"

"I don't know, but I received word that it should be around in the next few days. If that kid shows up, good luck to him; if he doesn't, then we'll go back and report."

Not far away, two beautiful figures exchanged a glance.

"Xiaoqian, why are those people still guarding this place?" Wu Lingyao asked, puzzled.

"Alas! Although that senior agreed not to interfere in Chen Yi's affairs, he still has some Foundation Establishment stage disciples under his command."

Yu Qian sighed helplessly, "That Nine Yin Earth Fire True Spiritual Energy was specially prepared by that senior for his children and grandchildren, hoping to cultivate another authentic Foundation Establishment junior. Unexpectedly, Chen Yi intercepted it."

"What if the Yinshan Sect Master really achieves the Earthly Foundation Establishment?" Wu Lingyao asked again.

Yu Qian chuckled and said, "Hehe! Even if the Yinshan Sect Master condensed the Nine Yin Earth Fire True Spirit Qi, he still couldn't achieve the Earthly Foundation Establishment."

"Why?"

"Because he's still lacking a certain kind of true spiritual energy. His attempt to establish a foundation through a genuine spiritual energy path is nothing but a desperate gamble, no, a last-ditch effort..."

"He is trapped in the ruins of the Yinshan Sect and has no way to obtain a second kind of true spiritual energy, so he will always just be a production tool. Once he condenses true spiritual energy, he will be 'harvested' by others."

Through these days of maneuvering, she also learned a lot of inside information from her elders.

The reason why the Yinshan Sect Master was chosen to do it was because cultivating a technique takes a very long time, and that Golden Core cultivator did not want his disciples and descendants to learn the Nine Yin Mystic Scripture.

Therefore, from the very beginning, he only wanted to wait for the Yinshan Sect to condense the essence before reaping the fruits of victory.

Wu Lingyao pursed her lips slightly, "This cultivation world is truly unfathomable..."

Yu Qian took Wu Lingyao's arm, her mind filled with thoughts, and said, "Yes! I wonder where he is now?"

Wu Lingyao blinked and asked softly, "Are you so sure he can come out? You haven't known him for very long, have you?"

"My judgment of people is always spot on! Don't worry, Chen Yi is harder to kill than we think!" Yu Qian stuck out her tongue and said half-jokingly, "He's like a cockroach! If he ever becomes a real person, we'll call him Cockroach Real Person!"

Wu Lingyao gave her a strange look. What kind of metaphor was that?

Just as the two were chatting, the gate to the Yinshan Secret Realm, which had been closed long ago, quietly opened again.

In the desolate wilderness, a long, writhing figure appeared, a handsome young man with a straight posture standing steadily on the hideous snake head.

The two are slowly approaching the entrance stone gate along a strange trajectory that no one can understand...
