The Five Divine Beasts are the last line of defense in the cultivation world. If evil cultivators want to forcibly bypass the Five Divine Beasts, they will inevitably pay a heavy price.

That's why those evil cultivators remained inactive; it was more like they were waiting for a better opportunity.

In their quest to conquer the cultivation world, those evil cultivators' schemes were likely far more elaborate than they imagined.

But all they can do now is break the formation, solve the problem of spiritual energy being extracted, find a way to force those evil cultivators out, and then try to figure out what they really want to do.

With the Jiang family handling the aftermath of the Chimo formation, Chen Sanruo and the others rested briefly at the Jiang family's residence before setting off back to Ninghua Sect.

Everyone else except her suffered serious injuries and needs to recuperate for a while.

Breaking the formation afterward will definitely be more difficult and dangerous, so I must heal my injuries and enter the barrier in the best possible condition.

During the time they were breaking the Crimson Desert Formation, another formation was discovered in the Illusory Realm.

When she came out of the barrier, Zhu Miao informed her through their soul connection.

The old wizard, in conjunction with the Heavenly Sword Sect, the Alchemy Sect, and the Weapon Forging Sect, has begun to break the formation.

Mei Mei, Zhu Huaqiao, Chen Zhouxing and others have entered the barrier. Zhu Miao, as the mountain god, also went in with them to break the formation.

With Zhu Miao around, at least the safety of these people can be guaranteed, and breaking the formation shouldn't be a big problem. Mei Mei and the others are also among the top in the younger generation of the cultivation world.

Currently, only these three formations have been discovered in the cultivation world.

Based on the rate at which spiritual energy is decreasing, there are definitely more than just these three formations; the number is at least doubled.

The Hall of Ten Thousand Spirits was closely monitoring the rate at which the spiritual energy was decreasing. They had broken two formations, and the effect was significant, with the rate of decrease noticeably slowing down.

During the time Ye Huai and the others were recuperating, Shen Sanruo no longer needed to be busy breaking the formation. She had some rare free time and only needed to follow the Ninghua Sect's team to find the remaining formations.

The rest of the time, besides clearing away the demonic influence on Qiyan, she also studied books on formations.

After that, the people from the Flying Cloud Sect would no longer participate in breaking the formation with them. Luo Chu, the formation cultivator, did indeed play a significant role in breaking the formation.

None of them were skilled in formations, so breaking the formation would only become more difficult.

Therefore, she must use this time to learn as much as possible about formations.

Fortunately, the snake woman was also skilled in formations and could guide her from the side. With the snake woman's help, her understanding of formations improved rapidly.

Before Shen Sangruo was a simple array set up by the snake woman. "Now try to sense the core of this array."

She infused spiritual energy into the array, gently closed her eyes, and focused on sensing the fluctuations of spiritual energy in her hands.

She manipulated her spiritual power, which constantly wandered and explored within the array, searching for the array's core, and finally converged on a certain crystal.

She suddenly opened her eyes, and a burst of spiritual energy shot out from her palm, attacking the crystal.

The crystal shattered, and the formation collapsed in response.

The snake woman's vertical pupils held a hint of disbelief. As a beginner, Shen Sangruo's speed was already quite fast.

She couldn't help but praise, "Sister is really amazing. You have such a talent for array formations."

Shen Sangruo had no time to dwell on the snake woman's address to her, and simply said, "Continue with the next formation."

There's definitely not enough time for her to slowly learn all about the formation now; she can only focus her energy on finding the formation's core and breaking the formation.

She hadn't slept for several days, and the sky was already turning white, so it looked like dawn was just around the corner. The snake woman wanted her to rest.

But the words came out as a sigh, and he raised his hand to summon another formation.

"If only that barrier could not sever the connection between our souls, then I could help you even from outside the barrier," the snake woman said.

She wouldn't need to rush to find the core of the formation with every spare moment.

As a Nascent Soul stage demon beast, the snake woman needed to act as a liaison outside the barrier, and she did not enter the barrier with Shen Sangruo on either of these two occasions.

Moreover, the higher one's strength, the more difficult it is for them to enter the barrier. Those who tear open the barrier will suffer more pain, and those white, fluffy substances will likely cause irreversible damage to them.

This is why those who attempt to break the barrier are all Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

"If it really doesn't work, I'll go in with you next time. I can go into your sea of ​​consciousness, and it should be easier for me to pass through the barrier than for ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators."

Shen Sanruo lowered her eyes to look at the array in front of her, her spiritual energy fluctuating with the movements of her hands, as if she was pondering the feasibility of what the snake woman had said.

She didn't want Immortal Lord Changli and Daoist Wuwei to suffer even more serious injuries.

"Let's find the next formation first. If the next formation is too dangerous, or if I'm not proficient enough in finding the formation's core, then you can come in with us."

But no matter what, breaking the formation is the most important thing right now. If that happens, breaking the formation will be the priority.

Soon, it was broad daylight, and she had deciphered the last formation.

Next, we need to help Qiyan remove the influence of demonic energy.

Qi Yan had been waiting beside her for a long time, watching her break the formation, unusually patient.

His blue and gold eyes stared at her silently, his lips slightly pursed, saying nothing, lost in thought.

“When I’m ready, I’ll set it on fire,” she said to Qiyan.

"It's all ready." Qi Yan withdrew his gaze, stretched his neck, and resumed his arrogant demeanor. "Come on."

The next moment, he was surrounded by blazing flames.

The stronger the effect of clearing away the demonic energy, the more intense the burning pain became for him.

But he seemed oblivious to the pain, not focusing on resisting it, and instead his gaze unconsciously fell on Shen Sangruo.

Through the flames, he saw her casually take out a few pills from her storage bag and swallow them to replenish the spiritual energy she had consumed.

He also checked the reports from others on the search for the formations, as well as the messages exchanged between the Wanling Palace and other sects.

While flipping through the pages, one should also add fuel to the fire.

The flickering flames cast an orange-red hue over her figure, making it difficult to see clearly, yet every movement she made was so distinct.

Whether it was from the flames or something else, Qi Yan suddenly felt very uneasy.

She went to such lengths for the cultivation world, risking her life to the point of self-destruction, while he, one of the Five Divine Beasts and the guardian of the cultivation world, had not even recovered his own abilities.

With the entire cultivation world currently focused on dealing with evil cultivators, how could he not want to do something?

But……

His unusual eyes drooped, the flames masking his dejected emotions.
