"Fellow Daoists, I've kept you waiting. I've been delayed by some matters."
Zhang De bowed apologetically and said.
"It's alright, we didn't have to wait long."
Jian Qiong waved her hand.
"So you two are Lin Fushi and Ma Zhenshi? We'll have to rely on you two a lot on this trip, otherwise we might not even be able to get through the gate."
Then, Zhang De looked at Lin Xiuyuan and the other person and said with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist, you jest. We were merely your assistants!"
"It is mainly thanks to fellow Daoists that we have the possibility of finding opportunities."
Lin Xiuyuan and Ma Kangcheng also bowed and exchanged pleasantries.
Lin Xiuyuan's eyes flickered slightly; it seemed that Jian Qiong, the person in charge, had considered everything very thoroughly.
Zhang De, a powerful expert at the Great Perfection of the eleventh level of Qi Refining, can provide great security for this trip. At the same time, Jian Qiong, a disciple of the Immortal Sect, has extraordinary abilities and must have the power to keep things in check, otherwise she would not have invited him.
Furthermore, these two individuals, besides playing a role in breaking the restrictions, can also join forces in crucial moments.
This creates a relatively balanced situation, which can be described as quite comprehensive.
After everyone had exchanged greetings, Jian Qiong got straight to the point, saying:
"This time, Fellow Daoists Lin and Fu Master are primarily tasked with breaking the restrictions, while Fellow Daoist Zhang and I will provide support. Besides the items needed by Fellow Daoists Lin and Fu Master, the opportunity arose because of me. If an opportunity arises, I will choose one item first, then Fellow Daoist Zhang, and then..."
"If there are six opportunities, they will be allocated in the same way. If there are not enough opportunities, those who were not allocated any will be compensated. Does anyone have any objections to this arrangement?"
Zhang De nodded and said, "Excellent, there is nothing wrong with that."
Lin Xiuyuan and Ma Kangcheng nodded in agreement without objection. All he needed was the Yin Spirit White Bird; other opportunities were secondary.
It seems that Ma Kangcheng needs a jade slip with array principles.
As for other opportunities, the strong are respected, and the person in charge is given priority in allocating them, which is not unreasonable.
"The cave dwelling is located below this pool, in a very deep place, a world apart, containing a cave dwelling."
Jian Qiong turned to look at the pool and said, "Fellow Daoists, shall we set off now?!"
Jian Qiong and Zhang De waved their hands, releasing spiritual light to protect themselves, and took the lead, jumping into the pool.
Ma Kangcheng followed closely behind, while Lin Xiuyuan stepped forward and looked down. The water was clear, gradually turning dark and deep, its depths unfathomable, as if he were gazing into a dark cave.
Seeing the three figures gradually disappear into the darkness, Lin Xiuyuan did not hesitate for long. He activated his protective spiritual light and jumped into the darkness.
According to Jian Qiong, the cave ruins on this trip were left behind by a Foundation Establishment stage expert who is suspected to have passed away there. He was involved in beast taming and array formations during his lifetime.
Therefore, there should not be any great danger there. At most, there might be Qi Refining stage spirit beasts, but with the combined power of the four of them, they would not be afraid in the slightest.
As the four continued to descend, four orbs of light shone brightly in the dark water.
The depth of this pool is unknown; even after diving for several minutes, I still haven't reached the bottom.
It was pitch black all around, deep and deathly silent, which gave rise to a strange sense of oppression in one's heart.
Jian Qiong had visited several times before and had not found any danger.
The group traveled very safely.
We descended for at least several hundred meters, and finally, it seemed we had reached the bottom.
Then Jian Qiong's figure moved to the left, approaching the stone wall, where she disappeared into it.
When the three of them caught up, they discovered that there was a narrow opening in the cave that was barely big enough for one person to pass through.
Once inside, after walking for a while, it's easy to see that the passage is angled upwards.
Before long, he felt light all over, as the pool water had simply flowed back to this spot.
At this moment, the passage in front of them was no longer so narrow and gradually widened.
It seems that the further you go, the more open the space becomes.
After walking with Jian Qiong for a short while, they arrived at a relatively spacious area.
It seems that the mountain here was hollowed out by that Foundation Establishment stage expert to build a rather large cave.
A stone gate appeared in front of them.
It was covered with array energy, and at the point where the stone gates merged, there were three cyan talismans quietly affixed to it.
"This is the place. The stone gate is shrouded in an array. The key lies in those three talismans. I wonder how that senior was able to use talismans as the core of the array."
"If the problem is not resolved through the key point of this talisman array, there may be unpredictable consequences. It may cause the array to become disordered and this place to collapse."
Jian Qiong said softly.
Although she was not good at these two things, as a disciple of the immortal sect, she had inherited and been taught them, and she had some basic knowledge of them.
He came to investigate several times and discovered this, so he specially invited Lin Xiuyuan and Ma Kangcheng to accompany him.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiuyuan's eyes flashed with a strange light as he looked over.
He had been wondering what his talismanic arts could possibly have to do with breaking the restriction, but now that question only grew stronger.
How could talismans be used as the core of a formation?
This shocked Lin Xiuyuan.
It's not as simple as just placing it anywhere.
A formation usually has a core that can play many mysterious roles, such as providing a source of power, strengthening the formation, or providing other mysterious benefits.
It is extremely particular about conforming to the yin and yang of heaven and earth, the five elements, the terrain and style, etc. Whether it is used as a formation plate, a spiritual object, or a magic weapon, it needs to be adjusted according to the formation to achieve a perfect fit before it can be formed.
Talismans are clearly not included in this category, so how can they serve as the core of the formation? And how can they be used to connect and operate the formation?
It's completely baffling.
Or is there some other mysterious reason behind this? Otherwise, this move can be quite alarming.
I wonder if this path exists at a higher level.
But at this level, it is undoubtedly an astonishing feat.
Jian Qiong said, "Master Lin, Master Ma, I have been here several times. There is no danger here. You can rest assured to study the method of breaking the restriction. We will protect you from the side."
“Alright, let me and Master Lin take a look first.” Ma Jiancheng nodded and stepped forward.
Lin Xiuyuan scanned the surroundings, and after a moment of observation, he followed Ma Jiancheng forward.
Ma Jiancheng observed the formation on the stone gate, seeking a way to break it.
Lin Xiuyuan bent down to observe, slowly releasing his divine sense to perceive the three cyan talismans.
After a while.
Ma Jiancheng frowned, turned to look at the two of them, and said, "This formation was left behind by a Foundation Establishment stage expert. With my knowledge of formations, it's unrealistic to think I can break it head-on."
"I can only hope that Master Lin can break the key to this formation and stop its operation before I can resolve the situation."
For a moment, everyone turned to look at Lin Xiuyuan, their eyes filled with anticipation.
Ma Jiancheng looked slightly shocked and muttered to himself, "This Foundation Establishment stage expert is truly amazing. He can actually use talismans as the core of the formation. It's unheard of."
"Such profound and wondrous things, even Master Lin probably can't do anything about them, right?"
