Wang Tingshi knew that she wasn't Ye Kong's match. Previously, she was easily defeated by Ye Kong in Wan Clan City. Her injuries had just healed not long ago, so there was no need to talk about increasing her cultivation base. Moreover, this guy was very strong. His cultivation base had also advanced from the early stage of Foundation Establishment to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. She had no confidence in stopping him.
"Brother Hei Zi, you spared my life in Wan Clan City. Today, I'll return it to you … Make your move!" Wang Tingshi's eyes were filled with determination. Alright, since I can't stop you, you can step over my dead body!
"Uh, you also provided insider information and saved my life. It's better if you make your move first."
"You make your move!"
"You make your move!"
Neither of them wanted to make their move. Just like that, they dilly-dallied until …
"Boom … Crack!" Suddenly, there was a loud sound. The huge formation behind Wang Tingshi cracked open.
Success! Ye Kong smiled proudly. While Wang Tingshi was in a daze, his figure flashed, and he brushed past her.
"You!" Wang Tingshi couldn't understand. How could this array be opened for no reason? Logically, the formation set up by her father wouldn't make such a mistake.
She couldn't care about anything else. She hurriedly followed behind Ye Kong and dove into the formation.
After entering the formation, she immediately felt that the supporting force decreased, and it returned to the feeling of normal water flow. Ye Kong put away the Living Earth Essence and looked down. Indeed, it was majestic.
Under the water, there was a huge square platform in the shape of a pyramid. There were many layers, and every layer was engraved with countless runes. They were densely packed and golden, appearing dignified and mysterious.
At the highest point of the platform, there was a small sacrificial altar. In the center of the sacrificial altar, there was an oval mirror as tall as a person. There was a dark blue screen of light in the mirror, and there were stars twinkling on the screen, just like the night sky in the summer.
On the top, bottom, left, and right of the mirror, there were four large golden words. They were: "Xiu. Stop. Seal. Confine. "
Ye Kong descended. When he approached the pyramid, he realized that there was no water in the surroundings. It was as if he had landed on dry land.
Ye Kong had seen this kind of waterproof restriction in Kun Peng's abode before, so he wasn't surprised.
Standing on the four altars at the top of the pyramid, Ye Kong lowered his head and looked around. He couldn't help but gasp in admiration at the magnificence of this building.
The pyramid was hundreds of meters tall and was built from white jade-like stones. Each step was nearly a meter tall. Every stone on every floor was engraved with dense inscriptions of various sizes. In each of the four corners of the floor, there was a formation core. Each formation core was embedded with a high-grade spirit stone, which provided energy to the spirit runes on the floor.
"The Fallen Heavens Patriarch is also a peerless figure," Ye Kong couldn't help but praise.
There were quite a number of late Yuanying great cultivators in the Cangnan Continent, and there were even more who had fallen or died in meditation over the years. But who would be able to create such a grand formation? The scale of the pyramid did not lie in the size of the pyramid, but in the densely packed different runes on it.
It had to be said that the Treasure Refining Sect had only mastered a little bit of the runes, but it was already amazing. In the Treasure Refining Sect, if one didn't have some background, they wouldn't attach a spirit to a magic tool.
Just look at the Corpse Sect's spirit rune formation, it was so grand! In comparison, the Treasure Refining Sect helping people carve some runes on magic tools was really child's play.
Also, the cost of this formation was enormous. Around the pyramid, there were at least a thousand pieces of Upper Grade Spirit Stones, that was tens of millions of Lower Grade Spirit Stones, and it was constantly being replaced. Ye Kong now understood why Lei Miao emptied the Primordial Chaos Sect's treasury.
Seeing that Ye Kong was already standing on the altar, Wang Tingshi could only sigh helplessly. She put away her magic tool and stood beside him.
In fact, it was also Wang Tingshi's first time standing in this position. She was also amazed by the huge building. Thinking about the small lake above, who would have thought that there would be such a majestic building below?
Hearing Ye Kong praise her father, Wang Tingshi felt a bit better and said, "In fact, my father had already reached the late Yuanying 300 years ago. He stopped cultivating and wholeheartedly studied the runes. At first, he only studied calculations on paper. When I was born, he never cared about me. He was just busy reading ancient books and calculating … It wasn't until I could remember that he finally had a huge breakthrough and began to build this stone platform. It took him a whole 20 years to build it."
Ye Kong nodded. Although the Fallen Heavens Ancestor had ulterior motives, vicious methods, and endless schemes, his contribution in this matter was indeed indelible.
Ye Kong asked again, "That space channel was built in recent years, right?"
Wang Tingshi nodded. "It should be, I don't care too much about these things."
"Then why only open the channel for cultivators below the Foundation Establishment Stage? Doesn't your father want to go to Cangbei to take a look? "
Wang Tingshi replied, "I once heard from my father that among the three races of humans, demons, and demons, the one who suffers the most in cultivation is us humans."
"Oh?" This was the first time Ye Kong heard such a saying. In his opinion, humans were the smartest. Demons were brainless. As for demons, he didn't know. It should be a very barbaric kind.
Wang Tingshi explained, "Among the three races, the easiest to cultivate is the demon race. They don't need to cultivate at all. From birth, their bodies will automatically refine spiritual energy. When they reach a certain stage, they can even automatically understand the most suitable spells and abilities from their ancestors. "
"The demon race is second. Although their intelligence is slightly lower in the beginning, they are many times more sensitive to spiritual energy than humans. It's just that they don't have any inheritance, so they can't cultivate properly. But as long as they have enough lifespan, every demon can eventually become a cultivator. "
"But humans are different. Humans can't automatically cultivate, and they can't naturally mobilize spiritual energy. Most importantly, there are very few humans with spiritual roots. Most of them are mortals who can't sense spiritual energy. "
"So that's how it is." Ye Kong nodded. He originally thought that humans were the most intelligent of all creatures. But now he knew that when it comes to cultivation, humans are at a disadvantage compared to other races.
Wang Tingshi continued, "If the space passage is opened wide, it's hard to avoid those super demonic beasts and powerful demons taking the opportunity to enter Cang Nan. So my father only opened a passage for cultivators below the Foundation Establishment stage. Even if there are demonic beasts and demons coming to Cang Nan, they will only be in the Foundation Establishment stage. There won't be any problems."
Wang Tingshi pointed at the four golden words and said, "These four words are the array that seals the space passage, preventing it from expanding naturally."
"Oh, since it's like this, let's go take a look." Ye Kong's curiosity was piqued.
"Ah?" Wang Tingshi originally wanted to let him take a look before asking him to leave. She didn't expect him to still want to go in. Wang Tingshi shook her head, "The land of Cang Nan is desolate and dangerous. Demonic beasts run amok and demons wreak havoc. I won't hide it from big brother Hei Zi. I heard that our sect has already sent out three treasure exploration teams. Although they found a spirit stone mine, the three teams suffered heavy casualties. I advise big brother Hei Zi not to take the risk. "
