Luo Lu held a compass in his hand and kept calculating the spiritual energy situation. It took him a full cup of tea to place a third-grade formation flag in a certain position.

He is an intermediate formation master. As the pride of a formation master, he seldom uses the formation plate.

Although formation masters make formation plates, they are only used by laymen who do not understand formations. Real formation masters completely look down on cultivators who use formation plates.

Since this place in Wulang Mountain is too important, Luo Lu doesn't want to use the formation plate.

The biggest disadvantage of the array plate is that it can be easily cracked when encountering an array master of higher level.

Only formations arranged with spiritual objects can be integrated with the terrain and spiritual energy to exert the maximum power of the formation.

Of course, another reason was that he was not in a hurry. There were no other monks here, and he found that the local monks here had been killed.

All he had to do was wait here for the arrival of the next batch of people from Tianxing Trading Company. There was nothing else to do during this period.

"This formation flag is arranged cleverly. I do have a talent for formations!" Feeling the operation of the formation, Luo Lu said to himself with some pride.

Just when he was feeling proud of himself, the formation suddenly made a crisp cracking sound. The formation he had worked so hard to set up was broken right in front of him, and all the third-grade formation flags turned into pieces.

He didn't even have time to react, let alone notice that there were cultivators approaching, and just like that the formation was broken.

Just when Luo Lu was trying to find out what was going on, his whole body stiffened. A terrifying pressure emanated from behind him, making him unable to move.

He was a cultivator in the late Jindan stage, but he didn't even know when the enemy came from behind.

Fortunately, the monk behind him did not want to kill him. He grabbed his neck with a big hand and lifted him up in his hand like a chicken.

"Boy, tell me what are you doing here?" Patriarch Zuo held Luo Lu in front of him and asked calmly.

Luo Lu felt that he was not wronged. He saw eight Yuanying ancestors, a total of eight Yuanying ancestors. Any move from any one of them was enough to smash him to pieces.

After hearing the question from Ancestor Zuo, he shut his mouth tightly.

He was cultivated by Tianxing Commercial Bank since he was a child and was deeply indebted to Tianxing Commercial Bank. It is impossible for him to betray Tianxing Commercial Bank.

"Fellow Daoist Zuo, it is better for my Demon Sect to handle the matter of forcing a confession. Your methods are too gentle!" Patriarch Lou of the Disha Sect said with a smile.

When Luo Lu heard his laughter, all the hairs on his body stood up.

“That’s right. I’ll leave it to you!” Without thinking much, Patriarch Zuo threw the Luo Lu in his hand to Patriarch Lou.

Patriarch Lou took Luo Lu and slapped him lightly on the head, causing Luo Lu's eyes to roll back.

A strange aura appeared on his body, and wisps of black mist rushed towards Luo Lu's head, flowing along his facial features and into his skull.

Venerable Huike frowned slightly. This method was extremely cruel and was aimed at destroying the soul. After enduring this secret method, the monk would be almost useless.

But thinking that this was the enemy of Tianxing Trading Company and was for a bigger secret, he did not stop it.

On the other hand, the Nascent Soul ancestors of the other two orthodox sects did not have any abnormal reactions and were just quietly waiting for the results.

There was no need to speak. Patriarch Lou's secret method invaded into Luo Lu's mind and explored all of Luo Lu's secrets through the secret method.

This secret technique has little effect on cultivators of the same level, but it is quite effective against the weak.

After an incense stick of time had passed, Patriarch Lou casually threw the unconscious Luo Lu to the ground.

"Tianxing Trading Company is very cautious. This cultivator is called Luo Lu. He only uses a special compass to check whether the compass's display meets the standards. He knows nothing else!" said Patriarch Lou, shaking his head.

Although Luo Lu is in the late Jindan stage, his status in Tianxing Trading Company is not high.

Even the five great elders who came later did not know about the matter of the cave heaven. Only a very small number of cultivators knew about it. The first three great elders knew about it.

"Now that we're at the place, let's find out the secret first!" Ancestor Lan of the Yin Yang Sect said with a chuckle, pointing to the place where the formation was originally set up.

Although Luo Lu didn't know much, he had marked the locations of the secrets with formations, so they, the Nascent Soul ancestors, just had to find them.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Lan is right!" Elder Lou said with a big laugh.

Several Nascent Soul ancestors all began to search, but no matter what means they used, they did not find anything unusual.

We have searched from the sky to the ground, and then to underground, even a hundred meters underground, but still found nothing.

The eight Nascent Soul ancestors all looked a little embarrassed, not because they were not strong enough, but because they lacked experience.

Although Patriarch Jian was born in the Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion, he was weak at the beginning and was obsessed with sword cultivation, so he didn't know much about other knowledge.

The other seven Nascent Soul ancestors are all native cultivators of the Northern Shu Continent, and are naturally weaker in terms of knowledge.

"I feel that the space fluctuations here are extremely strong, but I have tried many methods and still cannot find out where the space fluctuations come from!" Venerable Huike relied on the ability of divine feet to discover the specialness of the space fluctuations.

But he still couldn't find the existence of the cave. Finding the cave requires some special means.

"The people from Tianxing Trading Company should be here soon. Let's make some arrangements first and let them clear the way for us!" Patriarch Lu said in a deep voice.

"Okay!" The other Nascent Soul ancestors agreed.

They collected Luo Lu's body, cleaned up the traces on the ground, and then the eight Nascent Soul ancestors hid in a formation arranged by a fourth-grade formation plate.

Li Shiming was now a hundred miles away from them. Through the drone satellite system, he saw the actions of the Yuanying ancestor.

He knew the purpose of Tianxing Trading Company, but he had no way to find the cave. Elder Sun Ao did not know how to open the cave.

After seeing the Nascent Soul ancestors entering the fourth-grade formation, he couldn't help but shook his head.

If it was other cultivators who came, perhaps the hidden effect of this fourth-grade formation plate could still be concealed from them, but this time it was Patriarch Jin Kai who came in person. With Patriarch Jin Kai's strength, the fourth-grade formation plate would definitely not be able to hide from his detection.

It seemed that a great battle would take place here. He looked at the distance and tactfully retreated a hundred miles.

A shuttle-shaped flying boat was traveling silently in the low sky. Its invisibility and extremely low energy fluctuations allowed it to fly past a spirit bird. Although the spirit bird was only of the first grade, it had extremely sensitive perception and did not notice the existence of the shuttle-shaped flying boat.

Just when the shuttle-shaped flying boat was still hundreds of miles away from its destination, Patriarch Jin Kai controlled the shuttle-shaped flying boat to stop.

He looked in the direction of the target with anger on his face. Even Elder Ren Xun noticed the eight Nascent Soul ancestors not far away.

They had released the secret detection method early on, and plus, the Nascent Soul ancestors had some kind of connection with each other, so it was possible to hide without using the secret method. But after using the secret detection method, the terrifying aura of the Nascent Soul ancestors could no longer be hidden.

Even though the eight Nascent Soul ancestors of the Northern Shu Continent have extremely high-grade hidden magic weapons, some special hidden magic weapons can weaken the detection of the same level, but Ancestor Jin Kai is in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and his secret detection method is unstoppable.

The reason why Patriarch Jin Kai was angry was because the matter of the cave heaven was leaked. The eight Nascent Soul ancestors found this place in one step, which meant that their actions had always been under the surveillance of the Northern Shu Continent.

On the other side, the eight Nascent Soul ancestors also sensed the angry aura emanating from Ancestor Jin Kai. They couldn't help but look at each other, then formed a formation and came out of the formation.

Both sides were staring at each other in the air, hundreds of miles apart, just like on the Yongle battlefield.

But this time it is even more dangerous, as there is a direct conflict of interest between the two sides.

Although the Northern Shu Continent did not know what the benefits were, from the fact that Patriarch Jin Kai came in person, it can be judged that the benefits were absolutely astonishing.

"It seems that we have fought a battle!" said Patriarch Jin Kai in a deep voice.

"I have disliked you for a long time. Why are you putting on airs in our Beishu Continent? I call you senior because of your cultivation level. These little tricks you play are disgusting!" Patriarch Lu said in a cold voice.

"Let's not stay here, let's go up there and whoever wins will stay!" Old Ancestor Jin Kai's eyes became even gloomier, and he pointed to the sky and said.

If we fight here and the battle affects the cave, we will get nothing.

Although the cave is not so easy to destroy, there are ten Nascent Soul ancestors here. Who knows what will happen if a battle breaks out.

"Let's go!" The people on the Northern Shu Continent were more decisive. They flew into the sky together.

“When the battle starts, the seven of us will hold back Jin Kai, and friend Jiandao will go and deal with Ren Xun. It would be best if he were to seriously injure Ren Xun or capture him alive. Then we can learn what the secret is from Ren Xun!” Patriarch Zuo said using the method of voice transmission.

His statement was supported by all the Nascent Soul ancestors. They had been living with each other for hundreds of years and had already developed a very tacit understanding of each other.

However, Patriarch Jian has only spent too short a time with them. Although he is strong enough, his cooperation with them will not bring much improvement. On the contrary, trouble may arise at certain times due to poor cooperation.

All the Nascent Soul ancestors were optimistic about Ancestor Jian's ability to deal with Ancestor Ren Xun, but it was a little troublesome to capture Ancestor Ren Xun alive.

Having been with Patriarch Jian for these years, I have also felt the power of this Nascent Soul sword cultivator.

"You stay here, and you are in charge of controlling the flying boat!" Patriarch Jin Kai instructed Great Elder You Xia.

This time I brought Great Elder Youxia here to share some benefits with him.

However, the Nascent Soul level battle is not something that Great Elder Youxia can participate in. The battle will take place in the Thirty-three Heavens, which is also not a place that Great Elder Youxia can go to. In order for Great Elder Youxia to be able to hide safely, Patriarch Jin Kai left his flying boat behind.

Patriarch Jin Kai nodded to Patriarch Ren Xun, and the two of them flew into the sky.

Great Elder You Xia looked at all the Nascent Soul ancestors that had disappeared, his eyes flickering slightly.

He knew that Patriarch Jin Kai was very powerful, but this was the Northern Shu Continent. After their purpose was discovered by the Yuanying Patriarch of the Northern Shu Continent, it was hard to say whether the cave heaven could be preserved.

Even if Patriarch Jin Kai wins, there are more than just these eight Nascent Soul ancestors in the Northern Shu Continent. If he defeats them, I'm afraid more Nascent Soul ancestors will arrive soon.

He took a long breath and his eyes became firm.

"People die for money, birds die for food, horses cannot grow fat without night grass, and people cannot become rich without unexpected wealth!" He muttered to himself as he controlled the shuttle-shaped flying boat to fly forward.

On the way, Patriarch Jin Kai decided to take him with him, so he did not hide anything from him and told him everything about the cave, including how to enter and exit the cave.

The cave heaven was left behind by the great man Zhai Ge. The reason why Zhai Ge was called great was because his realm was the Mahayana stage, which was the realm after the Nascent Soul stage.

This kind of existence is the real ceiling of the world of immortal cultivation. If they can receive the legacy of a great Mahayana master, there is a great possibility that they will reach the sky in one step.

Perhaps even the Nascent Soul Stage will not be his final destination, and the Mahayana Stage, a dreamlike realm, may also be within his reach.

The more he thought about it, the stronger his determination became.

Originally, he had some concerns about Patriarch Jin Kai and about snatching resources under the noses of a group of Nascent Soul ancestors, but when he thought about the bright future, it would be worth it even if he got the resources and escaped from Tianxing Trading Company.

Great Elder Youxia gave himself greater confidence through constant hints.

The shuttle-shaped flying boat arrived at the destination, and he took out a jade slip, on which was the information about the cave that he had written down.

This was what he wrote down secretly. Patriarch Jin Kai spoke too much and too fast, so even though he had reached the level of a great elder, he still couldn't remember it all.

But this information was too important, and missing any of it could result in a major loss, so he secretly wrote it down on a jade slip while Patriarch Jin Kai was talking.

He didn't know whether Patriarch Jin Kai knew about it. Perhaps he most likely didn't know, because he was practicing a thunder-attributed technique as his main cultivation method. The thunder and lightning spiritual power in his body was very active, and his divine consciousness was hidden in the thunder and lightning spiritual power. Even if he used his divine consciousness, it would not be discovered as long as it did not leave the body too far away.

While Great Elder You Xia was probing his spiritual thoughts into the jade slip, he was also using his spiritual power on his fingers. Based on the complex patterns recorded in the jade slip, he began to draw patterns in the air.

Li Shiming witnessed the confrontation between the eight Yuanying ancestors and the Jinkai ancestor, and went to the Thirty-three Heavens to make an appointment for a battle.

He saw the shuttle-shaped flying boat, but didn't know who was left in it.

When the shuttle-shaped flying boat flew to the place where the formation was originally set up and Great Elder You Xia came down, he recognized the identity of Great Elder You Xia.

Great Elder You Xia's subsequent actions made Li Shiming guess that the other party wanted to open the cave alone.

In particular, Great Elder You Xia held the jade slip in one hand and compared it with the drawn pattern on the other, which was equivalent to telling Li Shiming that the secret of the cave was recorded in this jade slip.

How could Li Shiming tolerate this? He simply couldn't tolerate it.

He didn't even know whether he would still have a chance to deal with Great Elder Youxia after the cave was opened, so it would be better for him to take action before the cave was opened.

Great Elder Youxia was unaware of the approaching danger and was still concentrating on drawing the pattern.
