"The Lord of the Five Elements?!" Ning Zhuo quickly extended his spiritual consciousness into the stalactite.

However, no abnormalities were found.

Even the shadow of the Five Elements God was not caught.

Everything seemed to be just an illusion.

But Ning Zhuo's eyes were as sharp as a hawk. At this moment, he had confirmed part of his guess - there was indeed something strange about the Ten Thousand Demons Cave! "Brother?" Linghu Jiu saw that Ning Zhuo looked unusual.

Ning Zhuo looked at Linghu Jiu and said, "Brother, I just heard the voice of the old Five Elements Divine Master. He appeared twice before, first teaching me the divine skills and then raising my Five Elements realm."

Ning Zhuo did not hide anything and directly repeated what the Five Elements God Lord had just said.

"Is this really true?!" Linghu Jiu was surprised.

The two of them surrounded the stalactites that had been pointed out and examined them carefully.

Their spiritual senses scanned back and forth, but they did not find anything unusual about the stalactite.

"My dear brother, the original words of the old senior Lord of the Five Elements refer to this stalactite?" Linghu Jiu wanted to confirm it again.

Ning Zhuo frowned and said, "Indeed, the previous sound transmission came from this stalactite. But no matter how I investigate, it seems to be just an ordinary stalactite."

Compared with many stalactites around it, this stalactite is not special. It is rooted at the top of the cave wall, hanging down all the way, with delicate textures on the surface, like flowing water waves, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

The surface of the stalactite is quite moist, and a drop of water is gradually condensing at the end of the stone.

The water drop gradually grew larger, then broke away from the stone pillar and fell lightly downwards. It penetrated the quiet air and hit the ground slowly but quickly, making a slight "tick-tick" sound.

At this moment, Ning Zhuo and Linghu Jiu were both in a trance, and at the same time felt that this wonderful drop of water was like the incarnation of time, carrying the secrets of thousands of years ago, but with a fresh breath. From its formation, falling to its shattering, a thousand years passed in an instant! Ning Zhuo and Linghu Jiu looked at each other and saw each other's surprised expressions.

Ning Zhuo exclaimed: "It turns out that the stalactites are ordinary in nature, and the water droplets are the key!"

Linghu Jiu exclaimed, "Amazing! The moment the water droplets fell, I felt the solemn aura of an ancient magic circle. I have passed by here more than a hundred times. I never thought that the secret door was hidden in the water droplets."

"The only chance to enter is during the time when the water drops fall."

"What kind of magic circle is this?"

Ning Zhuo also shook his head slightly, indicating that he had never heard of it.

However, during the mechanical dragon movement, Sun Lingtong transmitted a message: "I remember that my master once mentioned to me... This is most likely the Jade Leaking Array."

"This formation contains the principles of time and light, and can greatly delay the passage of time in the formation, thus relatively prolonging life. However, it must be set up in a dark environment, with little or no light."

"Before, didn't you raise the question of the lifespan of the Five Elements Lord? Perhaps this formation is the answer."

Ning Zhuo and Linghu Jiu discussed it and immediately decided to go into the magic circle together.

The water droplets fell, and the two men locked onto it with their consciousness, and rushed in together.

In the eyes of the two, the water droplets grew bigger and bigger, and in an instant, they turned from water droplets into the size of a hill.

From the outside, it seemed that the water droplet was emitting strange light, illuminating the two people, causing their bodies to shrink rapidly and drill into the water droplet.

Tick.

The next moment, the water droplets fell onto the rocky surface and broke into countless tiny fragments.

Ning Zhuo and Linghu Jiu disappeared on the spot. Without their magical power, the light quickly dissipated, and the cave was once again immersed in darkness and silence.

The two of them entered the water drop and entered the magic circle.

This is a world inside the array filled with light and fog.

After Ning Zhuo and Linghu Jiu came in, they stood still and did not dare to move.

In the midst of Wanliyoulong, Sun Lingtong exclaimed: "There is another formation within the formation! This is a formation within a formation."

"The Jade Leaking Drops Formation is already very advanced, but it is only the outer formation. Brother, you must be careful, this inner formation must be even more extraordinary!"

Beside him, Linghu Jiu also exclaimed, "A formation within a formation! Brother Ning Zhuo, I have little experience in formations, and am most interested in swordsmanship and wine tasting. I dare not move at will, so take a look at this formation first."

Ning Zhuo looked around for a while, and then saw a light fog blocking his vision, and he could not see anything beyond five steps.

The light mist was pure white, but from time to time there were large shadows that flashed by and disappeared.

Ning Zhuo is good at mechanical arts and has some knowledge of battle formations, but at this moment, he is completely confused and cannot figure out the basis of this formation.

"That's okay. Boss, it's your turn!" Ning Zhuo said in a voice transmission.

Sun Lingtong chuckled: "This kind of adventure is the most interesting, just watch me."

As he spoke, he activated his innate spiritual pupils, and his eyes shone with spiritual light, penetrating the white mist and seeing a wider space.

Sun Lingtong's attainments in formations are even deeper than Ning Zhuo's.

Ning Zhuo delved deeply into the study of mechanical arts, and battle formations were not his major, but Sun Lingtong had a deeper understanding of battle formations.

On the one hand, Sun Lingtong himself had studied the mechanical books left by Meng Yaoyin. On the other hand, Sun Lingtong was born in the Bukong Sect, and for a thief, studying formations is his livelihood.

Finally, Sun Lingtong is older than Ning Zhuo and has more time to study magic arrays.

Sun Lingtong saw a lot of things clearly and immediately sent a message to Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo smiled slightly: "Brother Linghu, I have figured it out. Come with me."

Ning Zhuo reached out, grabbed Linghu Jiu's arm, and took the first step.

The white fog suddenly surged up, confusing the five senses and dislocating the direction.

With every step he took, Ning Zhuo had to take a few breaths to adjust himself.

Sun Lingtong is also continuing his investigation.

After taking the sixth step, a faint hole appeared in the white fog.

Sun Lingtong said: "This is the way to survive. If we follow this hole, we should be able to exit the magic circle space and return to the outside world."

"Really?" Ning Zhuo turned around, ready to tell Linghu Jiu about his discovery.

But when he turned around, Linghu Jiu had disappeared!

Ning Zhuo's heart skipped a beat.

He originally thought that he had been holding Linghu Jiu's arm, but the magic circle had confused his senses and led to his misjudgment.

"Oh no, Linghu Jiu is lost in this formation. We have to go back and find him." Sun Lingtong said.

He acknowledged Linghu Jiu's excellence and temperament, and Ning Zhuo had a good impression of Linghu Jiu. He loved Linghu Jiu and admired him.

Ning Zhuo's expression was a little strange at this time. He shook his head decisively: "No! Let's follow this retreat and leave here first."

"Boss, I'm in first."

Ning Zhuo released the mechanical dragon, went in himself, and met up with Sun Lingtong.

"Can Wanliyoulong travel through the void here?" Ning Zhuo asked.

Sun Lingtong nodded: "I just tried it, this ability has not been banned, it can still be used."

Ning Zhuo nodded: "That's good."

Wanli Youlong has reached the Nascent Soul level. Although he does not have much combat power, he is very powerful in escaping. Possessing the ability of a Nascent Soul to escape far into the void, he is the source of Ning Zhuo's confidence in exploring this place.

As they moved forward, the cave entrance turned from virtual to real, and soon, it turned into a dark mountain corridor.

The wandering dragon disappeared and meandered upward along the mountain path.

It is obvious that the mountain path is slanting upward.

The mountain road was peaceful, with no traps or monsters blocking the way. The higher you went, the more obvious human traces you saw.

A moment later, Wanli Youlong emerged from the bottom of a dry well.

The Wanliyoulong left the dry well and flew into the air.

Sun Ning and the other person saw a collection of pavilions, terraces, carved beams and painted buildings.

From time to time, people walked through the courtyards and corridors.

“Isn’t this the original mountain?” Sun Lingtong recognized it.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

The next moment, he realized something, took a deep breath, and turned to look at Ning Zhuo: "Xiao Zhuo!!"

"Did you have doubts before, so you brought Linghu wine with you to explore the Ten Thousand Demons Cave?"

Even though Ning Zhuo had been mentally prepared, a chill still spread through his heart at this moment.

He nodded slowly and solemnly.

"It turns out that Yamamoto doesn't belong here, but was moved here by someone else."

"But there is a retreat route in the ancient magic formation that leads directly here. This proves that someone has already discovered the Jade Leak and Drops Formation in advance."

"And the biggest suspect in this matter is Lin Bufan, the head of Wanyao Sect."

"His cultivation is as high as the Nascent Soul level, and he controls the Wanyao Valley. It is not difficult for him to make these arrangements in secret."

Sun Lingtong was silent for a moment, then he realized something: "Many years ago, Lin Bufan insisted on moving the Wanyao Sect to Wanyao Valley. Could it be that he was not just interested in the spiritual spring here?"

"He has not yet fully grasped this opportunity. The best proof is you, Xiaozhuo!"

"Thanks to the teachings of the Five Elements Lord, you have obtained the Five Internal Organs Temple Spiritual Art and have also received a huge improvement in the Five Elements Realm. If Lin Bufan had fully grasped this opportunity, he would not have let an outsider like you get away with it so easily."

"So, Yousi Mingniang is indeed fake wine. Hua Guzi is right!"

"The real reason is that there is a legacy left by a great man here. Therefore, when I sat under the Lingyin Willow, I still received guidance from the Five Elements Divine Master. When I was in the underground cave, I also heard the voice of the Five Elements Divine Master."

"The things buried here should be traced back to the era of Emperor Wu, and are closely related to the Five Elements God."

"No, it's not just him!"

"Linghu Jiu once said that he had received a lot of guidance. This was actually due to the opportunity of being buried underground in the Ten Thousand Demons Cave."

"Linghu Jiu...does he know?"

Ning Zhuo's eyes sparkled: "It is very likely that he is unaware of it."

"He was also kept in the dark. Otherwise, given his consideration for the sect, he would not have taken the initiative to give me the Yousi Ming Brew, creating such a huge flaw for no reason."

Sun Lingtong nodded: "Yes. If he knew, he wouldn't have agreed to explore the demon cave with you so readily."

"Oops!"

"Lin Bufan knows you now!!"

"Xiao Zhuo, you didn't hide the fact that you had inherited the Five Elements Divine Lord's legacy. Linghu Jiu knew that although he didn't covet the Five Internal Organs Temple Spirit Divine Art, he would definitely tell his master."

"Because the Ning family and the Wanyao Sect are in the process of negotiating a future alliance. This kind of information can increase Lin Bufan's attention to us. He must think that he has secretly helped you."

Sun Lingtong was also a smart person and quickly figured out more of the truth.

"What should we do next? What do you think?" Sun Lingtong frowned and expressed his concerns. "Lin Bufan has been planning for the opportunity here for hundreds of years and has made a great plan. But until now, he still hasn't completely controlled it."

"It can be seen that the opportunities here are extraordinary. And judging from your recent gains, it further proves that the opportunities here are extremely valuable."

"Lin Bufan already knows that we have come into contact with some secrets. Now, if we secretly explore the demon cave, we will definitely be discovered by Lin Bufan."

"Will he allow us to take advantage of this great opportunity?"

Ning Zhuo laughed: "This is exactly the key to the current situation!"

Sun Lingtong took a deep breath and said, "You should have notified your family's Jindan Patriarch immediately. In my opinion, you should have notified him in advance!"

Ning Zhuo smiled bitterly.

Sun Lingtong was startled, and suddenly felt horrified: "I know, I must not inform Ning to surrender in advance."

"Because he has been closely monitored by Lin Bufan!"

Ning Zhuo nodded: "That's right."

"Back then, our Ning family migrated with our entire clan, following the underground river, out of the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, and into the valley, where we were warmly received by Lin Bufan."

"He insisted on keeping our people here and entertained them in the valley for several months before letting them go."

"During this period, he must have been investigating secretly to see if anyone in my tribe had discovered this opportunity."

“After he was sure that there was no one, he finally let the Ning family go.”

"This time, Ning Jiufan and I arrived at Wanyaomen one after another. If Lin Bufan had thought about it, he would definitely have a lot of doubts."

"Did the Ning family discover it back then? When the Ning family gained a foothold in Huoshixian City, did they come here to explore again?"

"Lin Bufan may have guessed this way: The Ning family didn't know that I, Lin Bufan, knew about this opportunity, so they wanted to explore it secretly. The Ning family first sent the most outstanding younger generation in the family to investigate, and then sent the Jindan ancestor under the guise of alliance cooperation, trying to find a legitimate reason to stay for a long time and secretly explore the opportunity."

"Under this kind of speculation and suspicion, if I contact Ning Jiusuan, it is very likely that Lin Bufan will know it instantly. He must be focusing on monitoring me and the ancestors."

"Now, all we have to do is wait."

Sun Lingtong narrowed his eyes and said, "We have already discovered the Jade Leaking Array, and now Lin Bufan has mysteriously disappeared. He should be anxious. His next behavior will prove his true attitude towards us!"

"That's right." Ning Zhuo nodded.

Just as he finished speaking, the sky and the earth changed color!

With a loud bang, the formation started.

It turned out that the mountain was shaking! The mountain protection formation isolated the inside and outside, forming a huge light fog that expanded rapidly.

After a few breaths, the white light mist expanded and covered the Wanyao Valley, enveloping the Original Mountain, Xiaozheng Peak, Dazheng Peak and Yaotian Mountain.

The scene outside the window attracted Ning Jiufan's attention. He sent out his spiritual sense and asked in confusion: "Master Lin, why did you suddenly activate the mountain protection formation? Is there a strong enemy invading?"

Lin Bufan smiled.

He first inserted 1,870 fine needles into Mr. Yuan's body, making him fall into a deep sleep.

Then, he turned and looked at Ning Jiufan, with a fierce light in his eyes: "Fellow Daoist Ning's acting skills are not bad."

Ning Jiufan: ???
