Not long after, the accompanying black-clothed martial practitioners reported that there was an abnormal flow of spiritual qi in the mountains to the south.
There actually seemed to be an obscure yet extremely powerful spirit formation present.
Yan Zhaoge and Ah Hu immediately hurried over in that direction. As they neared, Yan Zhaoge raised his brows slightly, "It actually really is a massive spirit formation."
Carefully sensing it, they could sense that the aura of the spirit formation was currently in the midst of rising unceasingly.
Ah Hu grinned widely, "Young Master, such aura-fluctuations are not from someone setting up a spirit formation here, but rather from an ancient formation that had long existed!"
"Usually, it is completely concealed, hard to detect."
"Now, after being touched by someone, the spirit formation has just activated, its power increasing, forming a barrier like existence, gradually reaching its peak."
Ah Hu rubbed his hands, smiling till his teeth could not be seen, "This is very likely a cave manor left behind by a deceased senior expert. We really got lucky this time, coming just in time. Really, coming early is better than coming at the right time."
Carefully sensing the fluctuations of the formation, Yan Zhaoge gradually felt more confident, "The legacies left behind by the people of the Eight Extremities World after the Great Calamity cannot be considered too ancient, at least not as ancient as the Glacial Dragon Martial Saint."
"The person who left behind these legacies should also not have reached the Martial Saint realm, but this spirit formation has some attainments in it, being concealed and not activated."
"Even if it has been touched by someone now, the spiritual qi fluctuations should still be limited to a few nearby mountain peaks. If not for me specifically sending people to search for it, they would also not have been able to discover it from a distance."
Yan Zhaoge thought, swivelling his head to glance at the happy Ah Hu, "You also said that it was someone who touched the legacies that caused the formation to activate. This means that someone beat us to it."
Ah Hu gave a simple and honest laugh, "Someone beat us to it; Young Master, you can also catch up from behind."
"Yan Shan retreating with heavy injuries; it is most likely that Thunder Rumbling Young Master Lin Zhou?"
He rubbed his hands, "Such a cave manor, while ancient, should also have defensive measures. Even if Lin Zhou entered first, it would also not be easy for him to break through those defensive measures. Instead, it would be equivalent to him clearing the way for us."
"Young Master, the spirit formation has only been activated for a short time. If we hurry in, there will still be time. Otherwise, we will be blocked outside."
Narrowing his eyes, Yan Zhaoge thought for a moment before saying nonchalantly, "Come, let's take a look first."
The group of black-clothed martial practitioners remained on the outskirts, while Yan Zhaoge and Ah Hu continued advancing, following the spiritual qi network and arriving at the centre of the spirit formation.
After inspecting the surroundings and confirming that there was no one lying in ambush, Yan Zhaoge and Ah Hu entered the cave together.
The spirit formation grew stronger and stronger, gradually achieving the effect..
Yan Zhaoge was not too worried about his path of retreat being cut off. As long as he grasped the core of the formation, it would not be difficult for him to leave.
Within the ice cave, there was danger every three steps, danger every five, with mechanisms everywhere, causing Yan Zhaoge and Ah Hu to have to be on their guard.
After passing through a long ice tunnel, the two of them seemed to have entered a hall at the end of the tunnel.
"Young Master, be careful!" Ah Hu's expression was serious, without the slightest hint of playfulness.
Yan Zhaoge nodded, his gaze focused on the dense cold fog before him.
The fog shrouded the surroundings, causing the space to feel as if it was in disorder.
"," "....." Yan, The "Yan", Yan, Yan, Z. Yan "Shan"
Ah.., Ah., Yan, "Yan,", "," Shan ",", "Yan...
Ah Hu followed closely by Yan Zhaoge's side, not leaving him by a single step.
With Yan Zhaoge and Ah Hu's eyesight, while it wasn't to the point where they couldn't even see their fingers in front of them, they could only see an extremely limited distance.
At this moment, the ice beneath their feet began to tremble. Amidst the cold fog, a dozen or so huge figures slowly rose from the ground.
The Ice Crystal Guardian was a giant made of ice and snow.
His body, which was made of ice and snow, was tall and sturdy. His entire body was emitting powerful energy fluctuations. Although his movements were somewhat stiff, the heavy power within them was something that no one dared to underestimate.
Although these Ice Crystal Guardians did not have any Stellar Energy, their strength was terrifying, and the destructive power contained in their bodies surpassed that of a human's flesh and blood.
They originated from the spirit formation and the cold mist. Even if they were destroyed, after a period of nurturing, they would be reborn from the cold mist.
Yan Zhaoge raised his brows slightly, "So it is the remains of Old Man Great Sorrow's cave manor."
Ah Hu nodded repeatedly. "The Cold Fog Bewildering Formation and the Ice Crystal Guards are indeed the handiwork of Old Man Great Sorrow."
It had been quite some time since Old Man Great Sorrow had been alive. However, he had still been rather famous in the past, leaving behind many legends for later generations to pay homage to.
And the most colourful of these was the rumour that Old Man Great Sorrow had once possessed a Sacred Artifact fragment.
It was said that it was a Sacred Artifact that had existed before the Great Calamity, having met with a calamity due to the Great Calamity.
However, even a Sacred Artifact fragment still possessed rather great power.
Not considering its power, as a material, it was also a rare treasure that was hard to come by.
Because of this matter that year, Old Man Great Sorrow had even been surrounded and attacked. Having barely managed to break out of the encirclement, he had then gone into seclusion, no longer appearing in the world.
"It looks like this is Old Man Great Sorrow's secluded residence," Not being shocked, Ah Hu was instead overjoyed. "Young Master, a Sacred Artifact fragment is no small matter. We've really hit the jackpot this time."
Yan Zhaoge thought for a moment. "If Old Man Great Sorrow had not stepped into the Martial Saint realm, he should have long since passed away by now."
Ah Hu pulled back the corners of his lips. "If he had become a Martial Saint, why would he still be living in seclusion ah?"
As he said this, Ah Hu smashed a nearby Ice Crystal Guard into smithereens with a single punch. "I'll block them here. Does Young Master have a plan for breaking this ice fog?"
Yan Zhaoge said, "Breaking the ice fog isn't hard. However, breaking the ice fog doesn't mean that all is well."
"After observing for a bit, this place should be split into two layers."
"One layer is cold ice, borrowing the external environment of the East Strangling Snow Mountains. The other layer is most likely a world surrounded by blazing fire. It is very likely that it continues downwards, borrowing the fire qi of the earth veins. Who knows, there might even be underground lava."
Ah Hu realised. "Oh, right. Old Man Great Sorrow was praised for cultivating in both ice and fire that year."
Yan Zhaoge said, "Move together with me. I'll break the formation; you cover me."
Ah Hu gave a simple and honest laugh. "Yes, Young Master."
The two didn't waste time on words, immediately beginning to move.
At the same time, someone was currently quietly watching Yan Zhaoge and Ah Hu.
That was a handsome youth, his expression calm and his gaze sharp. His garb was similar to Yan Shan's, that of a direct disciple of the Heavenly Thunder Hall.
If Yan Zhaoge and Yan Shan were here, they would immediately recognise this youth.
The Thunder Rumbling Young Master, Lin Zhou!
Where Lin Zhou currently stood, half blazing fire, half cold ice, spiritual qi congregated. This was clearly the core of the spirit formation of Old Man Great Sorrow's old residence.
He gazed at Yan Zhaoge through an illusory scene that hovered in mid-air.
