If Old Tortoise had not broken open the ground of the hall, who knew how many years it would take for this mysterious diagram to reappear in the world.
The huge diagram exuded an incomparably ancient aura. At a glance, one could tell that it was definitely an extraordinary item. Even after countless years, it did not seem to have lost its effect. There seemed to be a faint brilliance flowing on it.
Gu Fei discovered that there were five depressions in the east, south, west, north, and center of the diagram. The depressions were as smooth as mirrors.
The countless ancient runes that formed the diagram radiated in all directions from the five depressions. It seemed that there was originally something in the depressions but it had been taken away.
Gu Fei vaguely guessed that the five depressions might be the five formation cores of the mysterious diagram. To activate the formation, the diagram had to be infused with energy.
Usually, the formation core was the place where energy was infused to activate the formation. As long as there was enough energy, the formation would be activated.
Old Tortoise carefully observed the mysterious formation diagram in the hall. It was as if he wanted to clearly see every rune and every engraved line on the formation diagram.
Gu Fei did not cultivate Taoism, so he knew very little about formations. However, the diagram in front of him was obviously an ancient diagram from ancient times.
Gu Fei couldn't even figure out an ordinary formation, much less this ancient spirit diagram. Since he could not understand it, Gu Fei found a corner in the hall and sat down cross-legged.
Old Tortoise, on the other hand, was seriously studying the ancient diagram. From time to time, it would lower its head in contemplation and pinch its fingers as if it was calculating something.
Sometimes confused, sometimes enlightened, sometimes frowning, and sometimes pleasantly surprised. All kinds of expressions kept changing on Old Tortoise's face like a lantern.
Old Tortoise seemed to be fascinated by the ancient diagram in the hall, which surprised Gu Fei. He did not know why Old Tortoise paid so much attention to the ancient diagram.
Gu Fei wanted to ask several times, but in the end, he did not say anything. Since Old Tortoise valued the formation so much, he must have his reasons. Why should he disturb him?
Therefore, Gu Fei no longer paid attention to the Old Tortoise who was studying the ancient town map. He closed his eyes and began to meditate. His cultivation had reached a bottleneck, and he needed to make preparations to break through the cultivation barrier.
The huge amount of Essence in Gu Fei's body washed through his meridians, tendons, bones, flesh, and blood. It followed the path of the Great Circulatory Cycle in his body over and over again without stopping.
With every great cycle, not only would the meridians, tendons, bones, blood, flesh, and internal organs in the body be cleansed by Origin Energy, tempering the body to become even stronger, but at the same time, the Origin Energy in the body would become even purer, and impurities would be expelled from the body.
The old tortoise only stopped studying the map of the ancient town when light shone through the hall and the sky turned bright. The Old Tortoise looked exhausted. It seemed to have spent a lot of effort studying the ancient town map.
Although he was very tired, as if he had fought a great battle, the Old Tortoise looked very happy. He walked out of the hall, and then a long howl that sounded like a ghost's wail and a wolf's howl was heard from outside the hall.
Gu Fei, who was meditating, was also awakened by the roar coming from outside the hall. He then rushed out of the hall and saw the old tortoise roaring at the sky. Its voice shook the sky, and even the layer of gray deathly aura shrouding the sky began to tremble.
"Is this old tortoise crazy?!" Gu Fei hurriedly turned off his hearing, but even so, Gu Fei felt as if there was a boulder weighing a thousand kilograms pressing on his chest.
The howl lasted for a long time and spread far away. The undead creatures who heard it all trembled with fear. The powerful aura emitted by the Old Tortoise terrified the undead creatures in the vicinity of the hall.
After coming to his senses, the Old Tortoise suddenly turned around and grabbed Gu Fei's shoulders and said excitedly, "Brat, maybe we don't have to go to the central area of the Ruin Sky Realm anymore."
"Hiss!" Gu Fei, who was grabbed by the shoulders by the Old Tortoise, immediately gasped. The Old Tortoise's hands were too strong. After being shaken by the Old Tortoise, Gu Fei felt like his whole body was about to fall apart, and a piercing pain came from his shoulders.
"You … Can you let go of me first!" Gu Fei was in so much pain that cold sweat dripped down his forehead, and his face was somewhat distorted.
At this time, the Old Tortoise also noticed Gu Fei's abnormality. A strange look flashed in his eyes, and then he let go of Gu Fei and said with a faint smile, "You brat, your bones are too weak."
Gu Fei was speechless when he heard that. Gu Fei was a cultivator, and his physical body was strong enough to withstand ordinary magic treasures. Among the cultivators of the same level, there were probably not many who could cultivate their bodies to such a strong level.
However, Gu Fei immediately realized that the Old Tortoise was a super antique from the ancient times. In front of it, Gu Fei's body was indeed very weak.
"What did you just say?" Gu Fei asked.
"I said that your body is very weak!" The Old Tortoise replied. The Old Tortoise thought that this guy wouldn't be so petty, but looking at Gu Fei's expression, he didn't seem to be angry.
"Not this sentence, but the sentence before. What did you say before?" Gu Fei looked nervously at the Old Tortoise and asked with a trembling voice.
"The sentence before … I said that we don't have to go to the central area of the Ruin Sky Realm," the Old Tortoise replied. He didn't know why Gu Fei asked such a question, which made him a little puzzled.
Upon hearing this, Gu Fei's body suddenly swayed, and he actually couldn't stand still. He took a step back and said, "So, you've found a way out?" Gu Fei's eyes were fixed on the Old Tortoise's face, and he couldn't hide the excitement on his face.
Gu Fei knew very well what their purpose in heading to the depths of the Ruin Sky Realm was. They only had one purpose, and that was to find a way out of the Ruin Sky Realm. The Old Tortoise said that they didn't have to go to the central area of the Ruin Sky Realm. Didn't that mean that he had found a way out, and they didn't have to take the risk of entering the central area of the Ruin Sky Realm?
After hearing Gu Fei's words, the Old Tortoise was happy at first, but then his expression became a little ugly. He said, "I have found a way to leave the Ruin Sky Realm, but there are some problems that haven't been solved yet."
"What problems?" Gu Fei's eyes immediately lit up, and he asked excitedly. It was good that they could leave this place, and from the Old Tortoise's tone, it seemed that there was still hope.
"The ancient formation diagram in the hall is actually a teleportation formation. Based on my research, it's a trans-realm teleportation formation, but the problem is that I don't know where this teleportation formation will teleport people to, and the formation lacks the energy to activate it," the Old Tortoise said with a somewhat gloomy expression.
Since it was a trans-realm teleportation formation, if the formation could be activated, they could leave the Ruin Sky Realm and enter an unknown world.
"You can't determine where it will teleport to?" Gu Fei couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he heard the Old Tortoise's words. This uncertain factor made him feel uneasy. If the place they were teleported to was not the Teng Long Continent, it would be terrible.
"It's a little too early to say that. If we can't activate this teleportation formation, everything will be empty talk," the Old Tortoise said.
Indeed, to activate the formation, there needed to be enough energy to operate the formation. The trans-realm teleportation formation needed to gather energy to break the barrier of a great world.
How great was the energy needed to break the barrier of a great world? How much energy was needed to activate this trans-realm teleportation formation? Just thinking about it made Gu Fei's heart palpitate.
In any case, they had found a way to leave the Ruin Sky Realm, but this method was very risky and full of uncertainties. Moreover, providing energy for the formation diagram had become a tricky problem.
The Old Tortoise returned to the hall, and Gu Fei also walked into the hall. The feelings of the man and the Tortoise could be said to be both joyful and helpless.
For several days, the Old Tortoise could not come up with any solution. Therefore, the Old Tortoise put the matter aside for the time being, and first focused on refining the incomparably powerful soul force that he had swallowed into his stomach.
Great power was a guarantee of survival, and even the Old Tortoise dared not relax.
Meanwhile, Gu Fei also began to cultivate. He entered the Inner Space that he had opened up, and then sat cross-legged in the center of the Inner Space.
The Inner Space with a circumference of fifteen feet had completely stabilized, and there was no longer any distinction between heaven and earth. Apart from a patch of sandy soil that was gradually turning green, it was surrounded by the tumbling chaotic zone.
Gu Fei took out the blood-colored corpse core that the Old Tortoise had given him, which contained an enormous amount of life force, and smashed it. The corpse core exploded, and the vast amount of life force that surged out enveloped Gu Fei.
Gu Fei seemed to have turned into a blood-colored cocoon. The enormous amount of life force began to seep into his body through his pores, and then smelt into his flesh, blood, bones, and internal organs.
In order to survive in this cruel Ruin Sky Realm, Gu Fei had entered a deep state of cultivation. With the help of the enormous amount of life force from the corpse core, he was eighty percent sure that he could successfully break through.
An enormous amount of life force rippled out of the blood-colored cocoon, sometimes strong, and sometimes weak. The blood-colored light emitted from the entire cocoon was also sometimes strong, and sometimes weak, like a huge beating heart.
Inside the blood-colored cocoon, a powerful life was being nurtured.
After Gu Fei entered the Inner Space, the Old Tortoise was left alone in the ancient hall. When the Old Tortoise had completely refined the enormous amount of soul force in his abdomen, his cultivation seemed to have improved a lot. The powerful aura made all the undead creatures in the vicinity afraid to approach the hall.
Power, soul force was also power. This swamp was undoubtedly an endless land of death, a paradise for the undead creatures. Why not collect the soul fire of the undead creatures to provide energy for the formation?
With a flash of inspiration, the Old Tortoise directly decided the fate of countless undead creatures. Therefore, the Old Tortoise began his life of lurking during the day and going out at night to roam the night.
Half a month later, after killing countless undead creatures, the Old Tortoise had indeed refined the soul light of the undead creatures into a mass of energy that was no weaker than the soul force of an Undead Emperor.
However, this was far from enough. Therefore, the Old Tortoise took the risk and rushed into the depths of the swamp to find the Undead Emperor. He fought with him and harvested the soul fire of the Undead Emperor.
As a result, the world of the undead creatures, which had gradually quietened down following the fall of the three Undead Emperors, began to stir again.
