Rural Shennong

Delino watched Chen Ping circle around the hexagram several times, and squatted down to pick it with his fingers.

She asked suspiciously: "Chen Ping, did you find anything?"

Chen Ping patted the ground: "This is a similar formation."

Delino rolled her eyes: "When I saw this six-pointed star, I knew it was a formation. I'm asking you, what kind of formation is this?"

Chen Ping shook his head: "I don't know yet, I guess it might be a gathering spirit array."

Some of the spirit-gathering formations he inherited do have such characteristics.

For example, the spirit-gathering formations for refining weapons and refining high-level pills all need to gather the surrounding aura, resulting in a sudden drop in the density of the aura.

But if it was the Spirit Gathering Formation, Chen Ping didn't understand what to refine, it would take hundreds of years.

Delino stomped her feet: "Whatever it is, we'll know if we demolish this temple."

Chen Ping quickly waved his hand and said, "Wait, don't move around."

"The Holy Court seems to be planning this formation. If you make too much noise, if this formation is very important to the Holy Court, it would be bad to annoy them."

"Let's do it secretly!"

Chen Ping took out a large pile of jade flakes from the storage ring, and first arranged a formation to isolate the breath around it, before starting to do anything to the stone slabs on the ground.

After he and Delino started to fight, he was surprised to find that there were no stone slabs underneath, but stone pillars with a length of more than one meter.

The one-foot-wide stone slab they saw was actually a cross-section of a stone pillar.

Under the stone pillar is a huge horizontal cross with two rings in the middle.

Chen Ping and Delino joined forces, and each of them grabbed a ring, and it took [-]% of their strength to pull the ring away.

Delino couldn't help swallowing her saliva: "These two horizontal doors are actually made of first-grade alloys. The Holy Court is really luxurious."

"Chen Ping, it seems that we have really discovered a great secret."

"The sale of these two gates alone is enough for you to recover the cost of buying the manor."

Below is a passage, exuding a hot and humid atmosphere, and flickering red light.

Chen Ping said in a deep voice: "Run Lian, you stay at the door, Delino and I go down to have a look."

He went down first, followed by Delino.

The further they went down, the more they could feel the heat of the air rising, and the red light became brighter and brighter.

After walking a few hundred meters, they were blocked by a circular transparent light curtain with a diameter of more than five meters. At this moment, the temperature had reached more than 50 degrees, comparable to a high-temperature sauna room.

That is to say, Chen Ping and Delino had advanced cultivation bases and did not feel any discomfort. Most people would find it difficult to breathe here.

Through the light curtain, they could see a black platform with a thin figure sitting there with their backs to them.

Below the platform, some hot flames would burst out from time to time.

Delino looked at the metal stick on the skinny figure's lap, her gaze was solemn: "There is a dead ascetic monk inside."

"This is definitely a top-secret forbidden place of the Holy Cult!"

After finishing speaking, she punched the light curtain.

"Oh!"

A muffled sound echoed in the passage, and the light curtain remained motionless, not even a ripple.

Delino's face changed: "What a strong protective shield."

"I used [-]% of my strength just now, which was enough to smash a piece of fine steel into pieces, but the protective cover didn't respond at all."

Reluctantly, she looked at the edge of the light curtain again, trying to find a flaw from the side.

In the end, after reading it, she was stunned: "This gang of magic sticks actually used falling gold here!"

Falling gold is a second-grade alloy, and it is not as valuable as the material used for the gate of this temple.

But light is harder than light, and it is the hardest metal discovered by humans since ancient times, harder than diamonds.

If it wasn't for the fact that Fallen Gold has very poor conductivity to mental power and is not easy to mold, it would have long been ranked among the super alloys.

According to Delino's estimate, even if she recovers to the peak of the Transcendent Realm, she may not be able to break through the protective shield.

It's not known how long it would take to blast away the falling gold around them, and if the light curtain still had room to extend, wouldn't their efforts be wasted?

Chen Ping drew out the sharpest Baqi Minggu Tiancracking Sword, and swung a sky-cracking thunder with all his strength, which was already his strongest single-target attack.

But when the sword qi slashed on the protective cover, there was just a bang, and the middle of the protective cover trembled a few times before returning to calm.

Chen Ping frowned into a word: "No, this formation has absorbed too many years of spiritual energy, and it is so strong that it cannot be cracked by brute force."

Delino thought for a while: "Should I find some more experts, such as Elder Mott, the president of the Dark Council, and then we will work together to blast it away."

Chen Ping thought for a moment: "I'll think of a way first, if it doesn't work, you can find someone to come."

He stretched out his hand and gently pressed it against the light curtain, sensing it carefully.

Although Chen Ping has never seen such a formation system, but the way of the world leads to the same goal, just like a mathematician who knows something about the chemistry of martial arts.

Chen Ping stood there motionless, sensing for more than two hours, and suddenly opened his eyes: "There is a flaw in this formation!"

He found that this energy light curtain seemed to be alive, constantly absorbing the surrounding aura and strengthening its own barriers.

Chen Ping used jade fragments to set up a small spirit gathering array in the lower left corner of the light curtain: "Delino, I don't know if my method will work or not."

"You will listen to my orders later. I will attack when I say attack. You and I will attack the upper right corner with all our strength. If we can open the gap, we will go in quickly."

Delino opened her posture: "I'm ready!"

Standing side by side, Chen Ping and Delino gathered their momentum, stretched out their hands and flicked a dozen drops of psychic liquid into the spirit-gathering formation in the lower left corner.

Spiritual liquid is originally a very concentrated spiritual energy. When it is activated by the spirit gathering array, it immediately releases an extremely strong spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The light curtain trembled, like a person's eyeballs turning, focusing on the spirit gathering array, and absorbed it crazily.

When the focus of the light curtain is turned to the lower left corner, visible to the naked eye, there are signs of thinning in the upper right corner.

Chen Ping shouted loudly: "It's now!"

"boom!"

The rich blood-colored light, and Chen Ping's shining sword aura, tore a huge hole in the upper right corner of the light curtain in an instant.

Both of them reacted very quickly. As soon as the opening was opened, they rushed in together, one behind the other.

Before Chen Ping could see clearly what was going on inside, an astonishing heat wave rushed to his face.

The temperature here is higher than outside, at least eighty or ninety degrees, and it is full of foul sulfur smell.

If it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that it would not take long to be roasted to dryness.

"Buzz!"

There was a buzzing sound behind Chen Ping.

The light curtain closed together in the blink of an eye and returned to its original state.

The Delinos who fell behind let out a muffled grunt, blood spurting from their backs.

Chen Ping's eyes were fixed: "You are injured!"

Delino's face was a little pale: "It's okay, the light curtain closed too fast, I was scratched, the injury is not serious."

Chen Ping frowned and said, "Don't move, I'll give you some medicine."
