Only eight members of Ninghua Sect and Shi Zhili entered the barrier to break the Wanling Palace formation.

Although they had all participated in breaking the formation twice and were considered experienced, there were only nine of them, fewer than any previous formation.

Furthermore, the danger level of the formation has increased dramatically, making this trip still uncertain and life or death a possibility.

Furthermore, it is estimated that it will take at least six months, and possibly more than a year, to break the formation.

This situation is extremely dangerous, so just to be on the safe side, it has been decided to let the snake woman enter the barrier as well.

After the formation was revealed, the Wanling Palace was enveloped by the semi-transparent barrier, and all the people of the Wanling Palace were forcibly driven outside the barrier.

The Hall of Ten Thousand Spirits stores many important books and documents related to the cultivation world, including the system extracted from Bai Mumu.

The formation here must be broken, and after the formation is broken, the outer barrier must also be broken.

"Did you keep the things Elder Yuan Jin gave you with you?" Shen Sanruo turned to look at Qi Yan.

That was something Yuan Jin had developed recently, allowing Qi Yan to break off the contract with her at any time.

The original plan was that before she went to break the formation, she would have to terminate her contract with Qi Yan in advance.

But Qi Yan had already felt the benefits of the contract and was even more eager to completely eliminate the influence of the demonic energy.

She would be in the barrier for at least six months, and at most a year. Qi Yan refused to terminate the contract early and waste that time.

Moreover, Qi Yan believed that with Shen Sangruo's abilities, she would definitely be able to break the formation and safely emerge from the barrier.

Unconditional trust +1.

That's why she asked Yuan Jin to develop such a magical artifact. If something happens to her in the barrier, Qi Yan can break the contract with her before she dies.

As a mountain god, Xiao Zhumiao could sense something unusual and uneasy even when she was in the barrier, just by having a connection with her soul.

As one of the Five Divine Beasts, Qiyan had formed a contract with her. Even if there was a barrier between them, Qiyan would likely sense if something happened to her.

"Don't worry, I have it in my hands at all times." Qi Yan shook the object in his hand.

He then added, "But I hope I never have to use it."

"all the best."

It was rare to hear such words from Qi Yan, so she smiled and replied, "Then I will take advantage of Young Master Qi Yan's auspicious words."

“We are ready, we can begin.” Shen Sangruo turned to Gu Ci Zhenjun and said.

Gu Ci Zhenjun nodded, and the Nascent Soul cultivators from the Wanling Palace and Ninghua Sect joined forces, gathering their spiritual power to tear open the barrier.

Whether it was due to the increased strength of the barrier or the presence of a Nascent Soul stage snake woman in Shen Sangruo's sea of ​​consciousness, everyone felt particularly strained.

Almost the instant Shen Sangruo passed by, their faces turned pale.

Some cultivators at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm even coughed up blood.

The nine people disappeared from their sight one by one until the last one entered the formation, at which point they immediately withdrew their spiritual power.

His body seemed to have lost all strength, and his hands hung limply at his sides.

But they all stared intently into the barrier, their expressions filled with worry.

Although the barrier was semi-transparent, it only allowed people to see the original appearance inside the barrier, including the people who had just entered.

It's as if there are two spaces; those outside the barrier see the surface, while those who break the formation enter the interior.

The same formation existed in the Red Desert before; those outside the barrier could only see a desert inside, and could not see the illusory palace.

Inside the barrier at this moment.

The nine people are exploring the buildings of the Temple of All Souls.

This formation does not connect to the secret realm, nor does it contain any illusions or phantoms; it is simply the original Wanling Palace.

That's rather unusual.

But no one let their guard down, because the simpler something looks, the more dangerous it actually is.

The absence of a superimposed illusionary realm can only mean that there are better protective devices superimposed within this formation.

Through this period of study, Shen Sangruo has also learned a lot about formations, and she thought of this the moment she entered the barrier.

The snake woman thought the same thing. She emerged from her sea of ​​consciousness, formed hand seals, and began to perceive the details of the formation.

In this situation, the snake woman didn't transform into the form of a little poem; this form would have been more convenient.

"Let's first investigate the general situation of the Hall of Ten Thousand Spirits," Chen Sangruo said to everyone. "Find out the area where the array's core might exist."

"The snake woman and I will try to sense the location of the array's core; we must be careful."

After everyone had finished assigning tasks, Chen Sangruo, like the snake woman, made hand seals, and spiritual energy radiated outwards from her.

The spiritual energy fluctuated in layers, as if ripples were spreading.

Looking at these fluctuations, Song Weiyan clicked his tongue in admiration, "Junior Sister's array spells seem to be no less powerful than Luo Chu's, that array cultivator."

"Of course, all of this was achieved by Junior Sister through tireless practice day and night over the past few months." Su Xiyu's expression was a mixture of pride and heartache.

“Exactly, how can that Luo Chu compare to Sang Ruo?” Shi Zhili said with even more disdain.

Before entering the barrier, Gu Ci Zhenjun handed them the layout map of the Wanling Palace.

Furthermore, the array cultivators inside the hall, based on their understanding of the Myriad Spirits Hall, deduced the possible location of the array's core and marked it on the layout diagram.

This provided great convenience to the few people who had not been to the Hall of Ten Thousand Spirits much before.

The Wanling Palace is about the size of a small sect, consisting of various palaces, with the main hall located at the very center.

The main hall is in an excellent location, and it is also where the core of the formation may be located.

The group decided to head to the main hall first, and then gradually explore the surrounding area from there.

Shen Sangruo had been to the main hall of the Hall of Ten Thousand Spirits before, so it was a familiar place for her.

Previously, it was to investigate Bai Mumu's system, but after her soul was injured, she could no longer investigate the system and had not come to the Hall of Ten Thousand Spirits much.

Shen Sanruo's gaze fell in a certain direction, her expression thoughtful.

"I wonder if that system is still there," she murmured.

It is currently known that there are intersections between heretical cultivators, radical demonic cultivators, and the system, and this formation was set up by heretical cultivators.

She worried that some connection might be established between the formation and the system, which could be detrimental to them.

Moreover, the system is also an important source of information, and it would not be a good thing if the information were tampered with by the formation.

"Let's go check this side first; the system is stored here," she said in a deep voice.

The group arrived at the door of the room where the system was stored. Upon opening the door, they saw a floating mass of divine soul energy in the center of the room.

Just like what Shen Sangruo had seen before.

It seems that the appearance of the formation and barrier did not affect any objects in the Hall of Ten Thousand Spirits other than living people.

However, the group did not go directly into the room.

She and the snake woman exchanged a glance, then immediately made a hand seal to check if the system was the core of the formation before proceeding.
