Deep inside the Southern God Palace stood a magnificent mountain that covered a vast area.
The old man led them to the outskirts of the mountain.
"So many Inscribers, such a huge formation!"
Upon arriving, Lu Ming scanned the surroundings and discovered that there were at least a hundred Inscribers around the mountain. Each of them was an eighth-grade Inscriber.
The outskirts of the mountain were covered by a huge formation.
"Alright, this is where you will be guarding. There is a large formation here, and each of you will be a part of this large formation. You will need to constantly inject your mental strength to maintain the operation of the large formation. How is it? Simple, right?"
The old man said.
The crowd nodded their heads. It was indeed simple, as they only needed to insert their Spiritual Energy to maintain the formation.
"However, I have to warn you that this is a forbidden area of the Southern God Palace. You should stay at the outskirts and don't wander around, especially deep inside the mountain. If you are discovered by the experts of the Southern God Palace, no one will be able to save you!"
The recruitment elder changed his tone and warned everyone.
The others were startled and nodded their heads. However, Lu Ming's eyes flickered. He had a strong feeling that Long Chen was most likely imprisoned here.
They were only in charge of the outskirts of the mountain. It was impossible for outsiders to be responsible for the inner parts of the mountain.
The old man gave them a few more reminders and told them the areas they were responsible for, before he left.
Lu Ming sat on a boulder with his legs crossed and carefully observed the surroundings with his Spiritual Energy.
There were many experts around the mountain, thus Lu Ming did not dare to act recklessly.
However, since Lu Ming had ignited two Spirit Lamps, and his control of his Spiritual Energy had reached the Perfection Realm, even a third-layer Martial Dominator Realm cultivator would not be able to detect his Spiritual Energy.
Unless the person was a fourth-layer Martial Dominator Realm expert.
However, fourth-layer Martial Dominators were considered peak experts even in the Godly Ruins Continent, thus there were not many of them.
As his Spiritual Energy spread further, the outskirts of the mountain were soon covered by Lu Ming's Spiritual Energy.
The outskirts of the mountain were protected by a huge formation with the functions of sensing, attacking, and defending. Once someone intruded into the formation, it would immediately alert the others, allowing them to attack at the same time.
However, Lu Ming soon learned all the secrets of this grand formation.
This formation was huge and required so many eighth-level inscriptionists to control it at the same time. Its power was shocking, but it also had many flaws. Lu Ming could casually find dozens of them.
Of course, this was in Lu Ming's opinion. To other eighth-level Inscriptionists, they would only feel that this grand formation was profound, grand, and unbelievably complicated.
In the depths of the mountain, Lu Ming didn't use his psychic power to cover the area. He was afraid that there would be experts guarding the depths of the mountain.
Soon, night fell.
At this moment, Lu Ming moved.
A figure that looked exactly like Lu Ming appeared where he had been standing. This figure had been created by Lu Ming's array formation, and his figure was heading towards the depths of the mountain.
To Lu Ming, the outer array was like a flat road. It did not pose any obstruction.
After passing through the array, Lu Ming arrived at the depths of the mountain.
At this point, Lu Ming stopped.
He raised his eyes and looked into the depths of the mountain. In his eyes, there seemed to be array formations rotating.
"What a wonderful array formation!"
Soon, everything in the depths of the mountain appeared before Lu Ming's eyes.
At the bottom of the mountain, there was a cave. Clearly, there was another world in the mountain.
And on the road leading to this cave, there was a grand formation inscribed.
This kind of grand formation was extremely mysterious.
"It's actually the Qi Meridian Chain Grand Formation!"
After looking at it for a while, Lu Ming frowned. He felt that it was a little tricky.
The Qi Meridian Chain Grand Formation was a pure sensing grand formation. It had no offensive or defensive power. It only had sensing ability. As long as others walked into the Qi Meridian Chain Grand Formation, the grand formation would send out an alarm.
Of course, Lu Ming could easily break an ordinary sensing grand formation. However, the Qi Meridian Chain Grand Formation in front of him was difficult for even Lu Ming to break.
Lu Ming could see that there were a total of ten grand formations in front of him. They were interlocked, and each of these ten grand formations was locked onto a kind of aura.
Ten grand formations meant that there were ten kinds of auras, which were also the auras of ten people.
If one wanted to break this kind of grand formation, they would not be able to sense it if they walked in. The only way was to use the auras of these ten people to refine a token to break the formation. Only then could they quietly walk in.
Otherwise, no matter how strong the formation was, if one walked in, the formation would sense it and send out an alarm.
Obviously, if Long Chen was imprisoned in this mountain, as long as the alarm was sent out, the others in the mountain would move Long Chen away. Even if they forced their way in, they would not be able to save Long Chen.
If one wanted to quietly enter the mountain, they had to break the Qi Meridian Chain Grand Formation.
But how to break it? The key was that Lu Ming did not know whose auras this was. How could he get the auras of these ten people!
Lu Ming took a closer look before he retreated and returned to his original position.
"Southern Divine Palace really values the Chaos Yuan Token. With such a tight defense, it will not be easy to save Long Chen!"
Lu Ming thought in his heart.
"If I want to break this Qi Meridian Chain Grand Formation and refine a token, I must have the auras of those ten people. But which ten people are they? I heard that Southern Divine Palace is dominated by the ten great families. Could it be that the auras of those ten people are the patriarchs of the ten great families? "
Lu Ming guessed in his heart.
This was the most likely possibility.
But there was no guarantee. Lu Ming planned to find an opportunity to secretly investigate.
For the next seven days, Lu Ming thought about this plan, but to no avail.
On the night of the eighth day, Lu Ming's expression suddenly changed. He saw a figure flickering in the mountain.
It was extremely fast and there was no movement at all. Not even a shadow could be seen. Those eighth level inscriptionists did not notice it.
If not for Lu Ming's strong cultivation, it would have been difficult to discover it.
This figure seemed to be very familiar with the outer array. It shuttled through the array and headed towards the inner part of the mountain.
Lu Ming's eyes flashed. Then he moved and followed the figure into the mountain.
After passing through the array, the figure stopped.
This figure was wrapped in a black robe. Her appearance could not be seen clearly, but her figure was clearly a woman.
"Long Chen, I know that Southern Divine Palace has gone too far by treating you like this. Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do!"
The figure sighed softly.
Her voice was very soft, but Lu Ming still heard it.
"This is … Ji Hongchen!"
Lu Ming's eyes moved.
This voice was clearly Ji Hongchen's voice. Lu Ming could not remember it wrongly.
Ji Hongchen did not stay for long. He turned and left.
Lu Ming followed behind Ji Hongchen.
"Should I ask Ji Hongchen for help?"
Lu Ming had many thoughts in his mind.
Although Lu Ming and Ji Hongchen were not very close, Lu Ming still approved of Ji Hongchen's character.
And from the looks of it, Ji Hongchen seemed to want to help Long Chen, but there was nothing he could do.
Lu Ming pondered and followed Ji Hongchen out of the mountain. They went to other areas of Southern Divine Palace.
