Chapter 1865 Ancient Cold Temple
The Yin-Yang dead energy in Qingyang's body was gradually decreasing, while his cultivation was slowly increasing. He never thought that the Yin-Yang dead energy, which was regarded as a scourge by others, could be transformed into his own cultivation by his Yin-Yang Xuan Gong. The Yin-Yang Xuan Gong actually had such a magical side.
At some point, Qingyang felt that his meridians were gradually smooth, the circulation of his true essence was no longer affected, the heaviness of his body gradually disappeared, and his reaction ability was restored. Looking at his body again, the Yin-Yang dead energy that had invaded his body before had disappeared without a trace, but his own cultivation had increased slightly.
It seems that the Yin-Yang Xuan Gong obtained from Hun Su is not as simple as it seems. Not to mention other things, just this Yin-Yang world full of Yin-Yang dead energy is a dead place for others, and they can only stay for one or two days at most. For Qingyang who possesses the Yin-Yang Xuan Gong, it has no effect. If there is a chance in the future, he can take a good look in this Yin-Yang world, and maybe there will be unexpected discoveries.
However, Qingyang was just thinking about it. The most important thing now was to go to the altar in the ancient ruins. If everything went well, they would probably leave this world and never come back. If they were unlucky, they might die in the ruins, and they would have no chance to come back.
Without the interference of Yin and Yang death energy, Qingyang was like a fish in water in the Yin and Yang world. He was much faster and caught up with Xiaoyao Laoxian and Mangshan Corpse King in a blink of an eye, which made the two of them very surprised.
Among the many Shenhua cultivators, Xiaoyao Laoxian was the weakest, but he was a Shenhua cultivator after all. It was really embarrassing to catch up with a Yuanying cultivator. Mangshan Corpse King started late, but he was still a Shenhua cultivator no matter how late he started. He didn't expect Qingyang, a mere Yuanying late cultivator, to be incredible. In his mind, Qingyang was only a little stronger than his four flying zombie subordinates. It should be very good to be able to hold on until now. How did he catch up?
The ubiquitous Yin-Yang Death Qi in the Yin-Yang Realm was so difficult for even the Divine Transformation cultivators to deal with. How could this guy act like nothing had happened? Wasn't he afraid of the Yin-Yang Death Qi? That shouldn't be the case. Just now, I saw that he was affected by his slow movements.
It didn't matter if I couldn't figure it out, but I couldn't let a late-stage Nascent Soul kid beat me, otherwise where would I put my face as a Divine Transformation cultivator? Thinking of this, the Mangshan Corpse King and Xiaoyao Old Immortal couldn't help but abandon their distracting thoughts and quickened their pace to catch up with Qingyang.
The other Divine Transformation cultivators had the same idea, and everyone's speed increased a bit. It only took six hours to reach the destination, which originally took most of the day.
This was a rolling mountain range, but the mountains were not very high. The ancient ruins mentioned by the Thousand-Faced Buddha were on the hillside of one of the small peaks, surrounded by rocks and trees. The entrance to the cave was behind a huge rock. If you don't look carefully, you may not find the specific location.
Fortunately, they had a simple map provided by the Thousand-Faced Buddha. By comparing it with the surrounding terrain and deliberately sending out divine thoughts to scan, no matter how hidden the cave entrance was, it could not be hidden from a group of Divine Transformation cultivators. After moving the huge rocks outside, there was a small hidden protective array inside, which was also at the Divine Transformation level. The Thousand-Faced Buddha said that there was no formation here originally, and he deliberately set it outside to avoid being mistakenly entered by others.
The people present were all top existences in this world. Of course, a formation at the Divine Transformation level would not be difficult for them. Moreover, the Thousand-Faced Buddha told them how to open it in advance. Without spending much effort, they opened the hidden protective array, and then walked into the cave without any hesitation.
It didn't look strange from the outside, but after entering the cave entrance, you can see a lot of artificial traces, straight passages, and wide caves, as if someone had dug them. The legendary ancient ruins were right in front of them. Everyone was extremely excited, and there was finally hope for a higher realm.
It was also because of their high skills and courage. The weakest of the group was in the late Nascent Soul stage. What else was there to worry about? Everyone immediately quickened their pace. It took them only a few breaths to reach the depths of the cave after a journey of more than ten miles. This was a specially expanded hall, hundreds of feet long and wide, and forty or fifty feet high. It was empty all around, except for a tall circular altar in the center of the hall, which was densely engraved with various lines and patterns.
The sloppy Taoist had been waiting for this moment. When he saw the altar, he was the first to fly up and carefully observe the patterns on the altar, not caring at all whether there was any danger around. Of course, the others were no less eager than the sloppy Taoist, and they followed one after another, including Qingyang.
After climbing onto the altar, they could see more clearly. The altar, which was dozens of feet in radius, was engraved with various fine lines and patterns. It was densely engraved, which meant that they had a high level of cultivation, otherwise they would feel dizzy just by looking at it. Among the group, Gu Hansi of the Gu family was the most knowledgeable about formations, but he could only understand some of the small patterns or single lines. He didn't understand what they meant when they were combined together, let alone what role they could play in it. It seemed that this formation was not something that they could study thoroughly.
After a long time, Gu Hansi said, "This altar is extremely sophisticated if you look closely. If I can study it thoroughly, my formation skills will at least be improved by several levels. For example, this small pattern represents the function of defense and protection, this piece should represent the gathering of spirits, this piece seems to have some spatial aura, and this line plays a role of communication. It's unclear what these mean when they are connected together. Does this represent spatial conversion? Or material transformation?"
Listening to Gu Hansi talking to himself for a long time and still unable to say anything useful, the sloppy Taoist couldn't help it and asked, "Fellow Daoist Gu. You can't figure out the meaning of this?"
Gu Hansi smiled bitterly and said, "This is a long-lost ancient altar teleportation array. Such a sophisticated thing is not something that a half-baked array master like me can understand. Today is the first time I have seen it. If I could figure out the meaning so quickly, I wouldn't be here to accompany you on the adventure. But if there is enough time, I will call all the array masters of my Gu family, and then spend hundreds of years to slowly study it, maybe I can figure out something."
This is the Yin and Yang Realm. Cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage cannot enter at all, and the Divine Transformation cultivators can only stay here for two days. They will die here before they can figure out the meaning of the altar teleportation array. Besides, their lifespans are running out, and they don't have hundreds of years to waste. The sloppy Taoist said frustratedly, "If we have no understanding of this array, if something unexpected happens in the middle, we will be too passive."
