"The Golden Light Cave is not very large. According to the predecessors who have entered the cave, the Spiritual Pivot's world is eight thousand feet long and eight thousand feet wide. The six secret locations are at the edges of the four poles, and the Nine-leaf Lotus is in the center of the small world, which is also in the ancient temple here. ()”
After the four Martial Arts Legends rested for a while, Liu Zhaoxian led the way to the center of the small world. Half a day later, they arrived before a dilapidated ancient temple. This was where the Nine-leaf Lotus was located.
Liu Zhaoxian had been hiding in the sect for many years, so he obviously knew a lot about the Nine-leaf Lotus. However, he had never been here personally, so he was still very cautious when he arrived before the temple. After some investigation, he said, "Let's go. There are no formations around this ancient temple. Let's go in and take a look."
As he said this, Liu Zhaoxian took the lead and entered the ancient temple. The others followed closely behind. After entering the temple, they saw that the temple was very dilapidated. The walls were covered with moss, and the marks of time were everywhere. However, there were lamps hanging from the ceiling of the temple. They did not know what was inside the lampshade, but it emitted a warm white light. Under the illumination of the white light, the entire temple was as bright as day, and everyone could see the situation inside the temple clearly.
"Look over there."
Wu Xingyun, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and pointed forward. The crowd looked in the direction he was pointing and saw a lotus pond in the center of the temple. In the middle of the pond, there were several columns of water shooting up, and a pure Nine-leaf Lotus was spinning in the waves, suspended several meters above the water column.
"This is the Nine-leaf Lotus?"
Compared to the Spirit Source Image in the huge light column that connected heaven and earth before the opening of the Golden Light Cave, this lotus looked much more ordinary. From the surface, there seemed to be nothing special about it, but its appearance was no different from the Spirit Source Image. It should be the supreme spiritual item, the Nine-leaf Lotus.
"Let's go and take a look."
Chen Tianyang couldn't help but feel overjoyed. He wanted to rush forward, but Liu Zhaoxian immediately stopped him and said, "Brother Chen, don't be impatient. Although the Nine-Leaf Sky Lotus is right in front of us, there are dangers everywhere in this hall. If we accidentally activate the Spirit Guarding Formation, let alone the Nine-Leaf Sky Lotus, we might even lose our lives."
"I was rude."
Chen Tianyang immediately stood still and nodded, "Elder Liu is right. Now that the Spirit Protection Array has not been activated, I really shouldn't barge in. However, seeing that the Nine-leaf Sky Lotus seemed to be within reach, I still got carried away. After all, we all know that if we don't have this transcendent item, the innate barrier is like a natural moat above our heads. Even if we enter the secret place to receive the Spiritual Qi Infusion, in the end, we will only end up as ashes. Now that we have the chance to improve, our Taoist Hearts are shaken. Fortunately, Elder Liu reminded us in time. "
Chen Tianyang said these words from the bottom of his heart. Bai Daoxin might not understand, but Wang Yan did. Through his conversation with Chen Xu, he knew that the cultivation of high-level NPCs was actually fixed at a certain range. In layman's terms, there was an upper limit. Without the implantation of Program X, even if they developed self-awareness, they would not be able to break through this upper limit.
When Wang Yan first learned about this, he wanted to persuade Liu Zhaoxian, but he gave up in the end. After all, when one embarked on the path of Dao, no matter how difficult or dangerous the path was, one had to move forward. Moreover, a person like Liu Zhaoxian had a firm Taoist Heart. How could Wang Yan persuade him?
However, Wang Yan did not expect that Liu Zhaoxian and the others had long understood their upper limit. Moreover, the so-called transcendent effect of the Nine-leaf Sky Lotus was completely unexpected. If the Nine-leaf Sky Lotus really had such a magical effect, it could be said that there was a glimmer of hope in the dark.
"Elder Liu, please take charge of the overall situation."
Although Wu Xingyun did not rashly move forward, his heart was slightly shaken. Now that he heard Chen Tianyang's words, he immediately asked Liu Zhaoxian to take charge.
Liu Zhaoxian did not refuse. He only said, "I don't have a deep understanding of cultivator formations, but according to Brother Yun's previous instructions, there are some flaws in this formation after thousands of years. He asked the mysterious old senior, and the flaw in the Nine-leaf Sky Lotus's protective formation is in the southeast corner. We will proceed from there."
Mysterious old senior?
For some reason, when Wang Yan heard this, he could not help but think of the black aura on Yun Guilong's body and the red-haired man's words. Then, he naturally thought of Ren Tianxing. He had a feeling that the mysterious old senior Liu Zhaoxian spoke of was very likely the great demon, Ren Tianxing.
Liu Zhaoxian's words were unanimously approved by the others. Then, Wu Xingyun took out a compass and found the southeast corner of the hall. Then, with Liu Zhaoxian in the lead, the group moved in a long line toward the Nine-leaf Sky Lotus.
As they approached, they were less than a hundred steps away from the Nine-leaf Sky Lotus. When Liu Zhaoxian took another step forward, the white light from the lamps on the roof of the hall instantly became extremely dazzling. It illuminated the entire hall in a vast expanse of white, making it difficult to open one's eyes.
And in the next instant, the white light disappeared. Everyone saw that the hall was no longer there, but a vast wasteland. There was no vegetation, and yellow sand filled the sky. There was nothing in front of them, only endless desolation.
Was it a mirage created by consciousness? Or was it a cultivator's so-called illusory formation?
For a moment, Wang Yan could not tell what was in front of him. Even though his abdomen was beating non-stop, and his vision reappeared, he could not see any clues. It was as if he had really appeared in the vast wasteland.
"Look under your feet."
At this moment, Liu Zhaoxian shouted. Everyone looked under their feet and saw that there was a large bluestone brick under everyone's feet. The bricks were covered in moss, and they were the floor tiles of the ancient hall.
"This is the flaw in the Spirit Protective Formation. Elder Liu, take out the treasure that the mysterious old senior gave us."
Liu Zhaoxian nodded, and then took out a black stone awl the size of a palm from his bosom. There were pieces of yellow paper pasted on the awl, and there were all kinds of strange symbols drawn on the yellow paper. It looked like a cultivator's talisman paper. However, when Wang Yan saw this item, his pupils involuntarily shrank, and he immediately said, "Wait, Senior, can you let me take a closer look at the item in your hand?"
Wang Yan's sudden request surprised everyone. But when they thought about how Wang Yan had killed Young Master Tian Que and was publicly acknowledged to be the first to walk on the Great Dao, no one raised any objections. Liu Zhaoxian then handed the item in his hand to Wang Yan.
