Along the way, Yi Tian didn't see any other cultivators as they approached the edge of the Beast King's Cave seal. Even when he spread out his spiritual sense to a distance of ten thousand kilometers, he didn't find any signs of high-level cultivators.
After seeing that the other three didn't seem to have any objections, Yi Tian was puzzled. He transmitted his voice to Xuan Jizi and asked, "Why haven't we seen any other cultivators after flying for so long? How did the others enter the Beast King's Cave?"
"Brother Yi, you can rest assured. Yan Peigong definitely wouldn't let go of such a rare opportunity," Xuan Jizi said confidently. "The Beast King's Cave was originally the old capital of the Yuan Hao Empire. Although it was sealed by the Demon God, there is more than one way to enter."
"If that's the case, there should be a lot of cultivators who sneaked into the Beast King's Cave this time, right?" Yi Tian asked.
"There shouldn't be too many, but there shouldn't be too few either. There should be at least three groups like ours. As for people like Yan Peigong, we don't know if he'll act alone or with some otherworldly cultivators, "Xuan Jizi explained.
"There are three groups in total. I wonder who's leading them?" Yi Tian was startled. He didn't expect that the Demon Realm would send out all their forces this time. In order to deal with Yan Peigong, the Nine Immortal Mountain must have put in a lot of effort.
"Daoist Meng Luan from the Fire Phoenix Tribe led a group. Elder Guo Rui from the Qilin Tribe also led a group from the Walking Beast Race. Daoist Huo Chuan from the Fire Wyrm Tribe is also personally taking action. If we encounter Yan Peigong, he'll definitely be left behind in the Beast King's Cave," Xuan Jizi explained.
Hearing that the Qilin's son Guo Rui was also coming, Yi Tian was surprised. Speaking of which, he and Guo Rui were old enemies. Back then, he had almost lost his life to Guo Rui. Although things were different now, he didn't know if Guo Rui would still remember what happened back then.
Furthermore, Hou Tian had already fallen. With Guo Rui's status, he should have known about this long ago. During the Walking Beast Race's Sky Bearing Sacrificial Ceremony, Guo Rui didn't make any moves. But that didn't mean that he would remain silent in the Beast King's Cave.
He had set himself up for no reason. Thinking about it, he wouldn't just sit there and wait for death. It was just that Xuan Jizi and the others didn't know about the subtle relationship between him and Guo Rui, so for the time being, it was better for him to maintain peace.
After arriving at the edge of the restriction, Yi Tian looked at the layer of white light and could feel the surging spirit force. His eyes flashed and he couldn't find the node of the restriction. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation. In the past, he had always relied on his attainments in formations to break the restrictions, but today, he seemed to be at his wit's end and couldn't do anything at all.
Thinking of this, Yi Tian asked in a roundabout way, "The restriction here was set up by the Demon God himself. How are we going to break it?"
Xuan Ji Zi, who was in charge of opening the way, smiled and said, "Speaking of which, the Martial Ancestor laid down the barrier to prevent the remaining forces of the Yuan Hao Dynasty from counterattacking. However, for the convenience of later generations, a secret door was specially left behind. When the Demon Realm's Three Moons Shine Together every five thousand years, the barrier will weaken and one can easily enter using a special method. As for those not of the Nine Immortal Mountain's direct line, they will need to spend some effort to break the restriction and enter. "
So it was like that. It seemed the Demon God had left some benefits for his line. However, people like Xuan Ji Zi would definitely have a mission to investigate the seal on the Beast King's Cave.
"In that case, can Fellow Daoist Xuan Jizi tell us how he created this restriction? If something unexpected happens inside, we need to prepare for the worst," Yi Tian asked.
"Back then, when the Martial Ancestor sealed the Beast King's Cave, he laid down three doors around the restriction. I have already given the keys to each of them to Meng Luan and Guo Rui." Xuan Ji Zi said, "These keys can only be used when coming out. Apart from this, we can only open the door at the weakest point of the restriction until the Three Moons Shine Together next time."
Yi Tian's expression changed slightly. He didn't think the Beast King's Cave would be so troublesome. It seemed there was a time limit after entering. Looking up at the night sky, he saw three moons peeking out from behind the clouds. He guessed that tonight was the day the Three Moons Shine Together phenomenon would appear.
After noticing his expression, Xuan Ji Zi explained, "The Three Moons Shine Together will normally last for three days. Even if you get separated, you will have at least two chances to escape."
"Why only two?" Yi Tian asked in confusion.
Xuan Jizi pointed at the moonlight above his head and said, "The Three Moons Shine Together scene will last for three days, but only when the three full moons rise to the top in the middle of the night will the moonlight shine on the restriction enchantment weaken its strength. Yan Peigong only has two days of free time. His goal is clear, so it won't be troublesome to find him. "
Although that was the case, Yi Tian still felt uneasy about this trip to the Beast King's Cave. On one hand, it was because of Yan Peigong, but on the other hand, it was because of Guo Rui.
Not long after, he felt the night wind blow by. Then three blood moons appeared above his head. When the moonlight shone on the barrier not far away, the originally white light film was covered with a layer of red halo at this time. At this moment, Yi Tian took a closer look and discovered that there were lines of 'golden seal script' runes on the restriction.
At the same time, Xuan Ji Zi took out an ancient token and activated it. Soon, a ray of light shot out from the token and aimed at the restriction.
"It's here. Let's break the restriction together." Xuan Ji Zi was overjoyed. He extended his hand and released a ray of light toward the restriction.
Huo Lian and Ceng Shun followed closely behind. They extended their hands and released a red ray of light toward the restriction's weak point.
Yi Tian waved his left hand and released a ray of azure light toward the restriction. Two rays of red light, one yellow and one green, gathered at the restriction's node and forcibly opened up a six feet wide gap.
Immediately after, Xuan Ji Zi put away the ray of light and was the first to rush forward. He said, "Everyone, quickly go in. This gap won't last for long."
Hearing this, Yi Tian could see that after the gap expanded to a size of six feet, it began to slowly shrink.
Huo Lian and Ceng Shun were naturally not slow. They entered together with Xuan Ji Zi. Yi Tian was at the back. After entering the restriction, they turned around and looked at the gap. They saw it shrink faster and faster. In the blink of an eye, it was back to normal.
Xuan Jizi explained, "We should be around the same time as Yan Peigong, but the ruins of the Yuan Hao Dynasty's capital city should still contain many monsters that have survived for tens of thousands of years. Everyone should avoid them as much as possible and try not to cause too much of a commotion." After saying that, he used a movement technique and led the way into the depths of the Beast King's Cave.
