Sharpening the axe would not delay the work of chopping firewood. Wang Daoyuan also took the opportunity to improve the vessel pattern of his natal dharma artifact.
Moreover, it was hard to say what was inside after the formation was broken.
When the artifact was upgraded to the upper grade of the fourth tier, it would more or less increase its strength.
With the nourishment of the spirit fire, the spiritual power contained in the artifact, as well as the strength of the material, had already reached the upper grade of the fourth tier.
However, the artifact pattern was still at the middle grade of the fourth tier and could not be considered an upper grade artifact.
In the case where the artifact pattern was complete, it did not take much effort.
In just half a month, he had upgraded all five artifacts to the upper grade of the fourth tier.
The Vermilion Bird Fan flew to the center of the defensive formation with a wisp of Gui Water Death Flame.
A Vermilion Bird phantom appeared out of thin air and led the black flames to burn outside the defensive formation.
The defensive light shield's radius was only about five hundred feet and was completely covered by the flames.
The black flames formed a fire shield outside the defensive light shield.
Soon, the clouds outside the defensive light shield were all burned.
The clouds inside the defensive light shield were protected by the formation and the Gui Water Death Flame could not penetrate it.
The main hall was still spewing clouds outside, but the clouds were quickly burned to ashes.
Wang Daoyuan took out an array measuring disc and looked for flaws in the formation.
The array measuring disc was completely black and there was a faint black fog lingering outside. It did not look like a righteous artifact at first glance.
However, its grade was not low. It was a middle grade of the fourth tier.
He had obtained it from Zhong Zhenyang. Zhong Zhenyang had bribed him previously and there were several fourth tier artifacts in his Universe Ring.
This array measuring disc was one of them and was called the Ghost Compass.
It was unknown what material was used to refine it, but it contained dense Yin Qi.
In addition to the detection formation, it also had some offensive and defensive functions.
If he raised ghosts in it, it could increase the detection formation's ability and offensive and defensive capabilities.
However, Wang Daoyuan did not need to raise ghosts to increase his strength.
Even if this Ghost Compass did not have ghosts, its detection formation's ability was not weak.
No matter how strong the defensive formation in front of him was in the past, it was at most an upper grade of the fourth tier.
Using a lower grade of the fourth tier compass, he could find its flaws.
The Ghost Compass was a mid-grade Tier-4, so it wasn't difficult at all.
Wang Daoyuan activated the Ghost Compass, causing it to spin rapidly. Nine streams of black Qi flew out from the compass and circled around the defensive light barrier, searching everywhere.
An hour later, the nine streaks of black gas had scanned the entire defensive light barrier.
Dark smoke surged out from the Ghost Compass, forming a five foot long light shield above it, which was exactly the same as the defensive light shield of the seventh courtyard.
Furthermore, there were streams of air flowing around the illusory figure.
This should be the flow of spiritual energy on the defensive light barrier. From this, he could see the weakness of the defensive light barrier.
If one's attainments in formations were not low, one could even deduce the location of the eye of the formation and its operating conditions.
Then, he used the Array Dispelling Method to stop the Array Formation from operating.
The Formation Eye and the connecting Formation Runes would be intact, and the Formation Array could be activated again.
Of course, this was only useful against formations that were not controlled by anyone.
If someone was controlling the array, they would be able to change the flow of the array's spiritual energy and the operation of the array's eyes, making it much more difficult to find the flaws.
The Ghost Compass was so brilliant that it definitely wasn't an inheritance of the Netherworld Sect.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been unable to take down the Jade Spring Peak if they had taken out this thing back then.
It was most likely that the disciples of the Netherworld Sect had some fortuitous encounter when they were traveling outside.
This Ghost Compass also looked very simple and unadorned. It should be quite a few years old.
With Wang Daoyuan's ability as a lower grade Tier-4 Formation Master, it wasn't difficult to find the weakness of the defensive light barrier.
However, it was a bit difficult to deduce the location of the eye of the formation and its operating conditions.
It was completely impossible to solve the formation. Solving a formation was harder than setting one up. With his current ability, he could only solve formations below the fourth tier.
Moreover, this formation used to be at least a fifth tier formation, so the difficulty of solving it should also be at the level of a fifth tier formation.
It took him five days to study the defensive light barrier's illusory figure.
Wang Daoyuan had basically locked onto the trajectory of the defensive light barrier's weak points. With his strength, he could only hit the weak points and break the defensive light barrier easily.
He took out the White Tiger Blade and used the Sword Shadow Divine Light Technique. Ten sword shadows appeared.
For the safety of his little life, Wang Daoyuan retreated more than five kilometers before controlling the White Tiger Blade to attack the formation's weak points with the ten sword shadows.
The current sword shadows had thirty percent of the White Tiger Blade's power.
The White Tiger Blade and the sword shadows could display four times the power of Wang Daoyuan's full strength attack.
Soon, eleven identical White Tiger Blades slashed at the same place on the defensive light barrier.
With a crisp crack, the defensive light barrier with a diameter of five hundred meters was shattered.
The mist in the courtyard surged out again, but it was quickly burned away by the Gui Water Death Flame.
However, the mist was still surging out of the main hall.
The formation that was surging out of the mist was not the same as the defensive formation.
The spiritual power in the mist was only of the water attribute, while the defensive light barrier had no attribute.
To be able to set up two sets of great formations in the same place.
The level of the person who set up the formation was not something that Wang Daoyuan could compare to.
This kind of pathfinding work was better left to the Soul Chasing Bees.
He released more than a hundred second-rank mid-grade Soul Chasing Bees and let them enter the courtyard to investigate.
As a result, these Soul Chasing Bees did not dare to enter and just wandered outside the courtyard.
The cannon fodder did not dare to enter, and Wang Daoyuan did not dare to enter even more.
He controlled the Vermillion Bird phantom and poured into the courtyard with the Gui Water Death Flame, burning the mist to nothing.
As a result, these Soul Chasing Bees still did not dare to enter.
Wang Daoyuan learned through the Bee King that these Soul Chasing Bees sensed an extremely powerful aura in the main hall.
These Soul Chasing Bees instinctively felt afraid and did not dare to enter.
The core inheritance of the Valley of Beasts was beast taming. It was not surprising that there were demon beasts with divine beast bloodlines inside.
These Soul Chasing Bees were not intelligent enough and could not fully express their meaning.
Wang Daoyuan could only let his doppelganger Devouring Spirit explore the way and open his panoramic perception.
As soon as the Devouring Spirit walked into the courtyard, Wang Daoyuan felt a sense of fear. This fear came from the Devouring Spirit's instinct.
The Devouring Spirit was a demon, not a creature of this world.
What he was afraid of was the Heavenly Might and the Divine Beast.
There was no lightning or anything like that in here. There was most likely a Divine Beast.
He used the Black Tortoise Bright Armor and put an armor on the Devouring Spirit's body. He also took out the Black Tortoise Shield and blocked in front of him.
Then, he controlled the Devouring Spirit to continue walking into the main hall.
The Devouring Spirit pushed open the door of the hall. There were still clouds and mist in the hall. Even the Gui Water Death Flame could not completely burn it.
It just became thinner. The suppression of divine sense was still very strong, but it could not block the line of sight.
Through the clouds and mist, he saw a dragon-shaped object more than a hundred feet long, coiled in the hall.
However, this dragon-shaped object was motionless.
This place had been abandoned for tens of thousands of years. Even a sixth-level demon beast could not live until now. This guy in front of him should not be a living thing.
Wang Daoyuan was relieved. He controlled the Devouring Spirit and walked closer to take a closer look.
He saw that this dragon-shaped object was completely dried up, without any vitality.
The Devouring Spirit also did not feel the presence of a soul. It should be completely dead.
This dried corpse basically maintained the appearance of a dragon. The dragon head was no different from a true dragon. It had two forked horns and a beard under its chin.
From the back of its neck to its back, there was a fiery red mane, and its scales were earthy yellow.
It had four claws, and each claw had three fingers.
Just looking at this, this guy was a flood dragon with a relatively pure bloodline.
However, seeing the lower half of its body, it was obviously different.
The scales on the lower half of this guy's body were all upside down.
Dragons with purer bloodlines would have an inverted scale on their throats, but the rest of their scales were normal.
Legend had it that there was only one dragon species with inverted scales on its upper half, and that was the Sea Serpent.
This guy was still spitting out clouds and mist. The clouds and mist outside should have come from here.
The spiritual energy in this cloud and mist was extremely rich, very close to low-grade rank five.
On the Sea Serpent's dried corpse, there were also fluctuations of spiritual energy and the power of laws.
When this Sea Serpent was alive, it was at least a rank five spirit beast.
