A group of eight people flew in the direction of Maple County Ridge in the air. The leader was Du Heiyi. This guy was now in high spirits, rushing to do everything. If Yi Tian and Shui Dong Cheng didn't say anything, he really did look like the leader.
Shui Dongcheng flew in the crowd, looking at the strength of these people, and sighed along the way. Who asked him to find Yang Ling and Tong Yan, who were the weakest among them? He was most afraid that there would be an imbalance in strength when he went out for an adventure. Fortunately, he trusted Yi Tian's character, but even so, he couldn't completely rest assured.
The one flying at the back was Yi Tian, and his heart kept pounding along the way. It wasn't because of the exploration, but because of Tong Yan's attitude in the refining room, which made Yi Tian feel a little uneasy.
Fortunately, Yi Tian was also a person who had seen big scenes. After he finished talking, he took the jade slip of the "Clear Spirit Dharma Eye" and didn't talk much with Tong Yan. He ran to the side and began to comprehend the incantation, leaving her alone to refine the token. Afterward, he looked at Tong Yan with a guilty expression, but more than that, he was confused.
It took the eight of them an entire day to fly to the sky above Maple County Ridge. Seeing the white fog in front of them that covered a radius of thirty miles, Du Heiyi could only stare at it helplessly. The task of breaking the formation was not up to this uncouth fellow like him.
Seeing that everyone stopped in the air, Yi Tian didn't refuse and flew to the front. Then, he took out a formation disk hub with his left hand, and used his right hand to cast a spell on it. After ten breaths of time, the surrounding white fog slowly became clear, and a two-foot-wide passage appeared in front of everyone.
Yi Tian was the first to fly in, and he didn't forget to call out, "Everyone, follow me. After we go in, I will restart the formation."
The other seven people also nodded their heads in tacit agreement. Then, they flew in one after another. At this moment, everyone was vaguely treating Yi Tian as their leader. After flying through the white fog for nearly half an hour, Yi Tian confirmed the direction and led them to the original location of the ruins.
After landing on the cloud, Du Heiyi and Shui Dong Cheng walked forward and found the stone tablet corresponding to the great array. Even Dugu Ao and Xing Yuan began to raise their spirits. Everyone knew that the outcome of the battle was about to be revealed. Although the two of them were exploring together, they were still wary of each other. After all, they would be competitors in the future.
Ever since she found the location of the formation, Yan Zhaoxue had been pointing at Yi Tian from time to time. She almost went up to fiddle with it herself. On the other hand, Yang Ling and Tong Yan stood there and observed their surroundings. Although they didn't show much joy on their faces, their bright eyes scanned the entire formation several times.
After lightly coughing to attract everyone's attention, Yi Tian walked forward and said, "Everyone, we have arrived. Next, I will begin to distribute the method to open the formation."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Du Heiyi. He said, "Everyone, before we came, we should have been informed that this time, Master Yi, Shui Dong Cheng and I have the priority to pick a treasure. The rest will be divided equally. This is what everyone agreed to before."
Hearing this, Xing Yuan and the others nodded without any objection. Only Yan Zhaoxue shouted, "Everyone knows. Stop talking nonsense and listen to Little Yi on how to open the formation." With one sentence, she directly made Du Heiyi swallow back what he wanted to say.
Yi Tian also shook his head helplessly. It seemed that this little lass really wanted to compete with him. He thought to himself, Forget it. Breaking the array was the most important thing. He turned around and said to everyone, "Everyone has a token in their hands. Everyone, find the stone tablet that corresponds to your token. Then, hold your token and stand still and wait for my command."
After speaking, Yi Tian didn't care about the others. He took out the "Qian" token and walked to the stone tablet in the northwest corner. Seeing this, everyone didn't talk anymore. They hurriedly found the corresponding stone tablet according to the number on the token in their hands.
Then they heard Yi Tian shout, "Put the token in the groove of the stone tablet, then activate it with all your strength." His right hand slowly pushed the token into the groove until it fit perfectly, then he poured spiritual power into it with both hands.
Shui Dong Cheng and Du Heiyi on the side were also familiar with it. They each injected a spell, then the entire formation lit up. The rest of the people also knew that it was time to activate it. Everyone imitated the three people's method and inserted the token in their hands and activated it.
For a time, the other gates of the entire formation began to slowly light up. It turned out that the three people's tokens were the original ones, and the effect was better. The stone tablets in front of the other five people slowly lit up after three breaths. Yi Tian was relieved. Originally, he copied the inscriptions on the array and the token, so the effect was definitely not as good as the original.
Fortunately, he was still confident in his craftsmanship. Not to mention, Yi Tian had reinforced each token according to the inscriptions on the array. Although there were some flaws in the opening of the formation, this result didn't affect everyone's mood at all. Only Yan Zhaoxue kept muttering a few words, but she was completely ignored by everyone.
After the other five steles were activated, the eight rays of light converged on the coiling dragon sculpture at the eye of the array. After receiving the baptism of the eight rays of light, the coiling dragon's eyes lit up. Then, after receiving the spiritual energy, its entire body seemed to become alive.
After a quarter of an hour, the coiling dragon absorbed enough spiritual energy and slowly rose. When it was about three feet above the ground, the coiling dragon turned around and opened its mouth to shoot a golden light toward the cliff in front of it. A stone door appeared on the cliff out of thin air. Then, the coiling dragon roared in the air, and the stone door opened.
Everyone revealed relieved smiles when they saw this. Yi Tian said, "If we don't enter now, then when? I'll finish last."
Hearing this, Shui Dong Cheng and Du Heiyi took the lead and rushed in. Then Dugu Ao, Xing Yuan, and Yan Zhaoxue rose from the ground and used escape techniques to chase after them. Yang Ling, who was standing at the side, followed closely behind. Tong Yan glanced at Yi Tian, then chuckled and entered the door.
After the seven people entered the door, Yi Tian moved his hands and took the eight command medallions. Looking at the eight command medallions in his hand, a bright flame appeared on his right hand, then he quickly refined each of the command medallions. After being refined, the eight command medallions emitted a dark gold color.
Yi Tian was delighted. The foundation of the Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation was completed just like that. It was truly a case of obtaining a treasure before entering a treasure mountain. According to the formation manual, a Foundation Establishment cultivator could completely set up a formation that could withstand the attacks of a high grade cultivator.
After putting the command medallions into his storage ring, Yi Tian discovered that the coiling dragon in the air was starting to sway, and the stone door was also becoming unstable. With a flash of azure light, Yi Tian controlled the Wind Movement Technique and jumped through the door.
Five breaths later, without the support of the stone tablet's light beam, the coiling dragon slowly fell back to its original position. The dragon's body returned to its original state, and the door on the cliff closed and concealed itself again.
After walking through the stone door on the cliff, Yi Tian flew for nearly half an hour. During this time, he discovered that the passage behind the door could only accommodate two people at a time. Moreover, it was pitch-black, with only the exit in front of him shining with light.
Yi Tian didn't want to appear too active. He would first let those hotheads hit the nail on the head. When the time came, he would appear to help them.
After flying leisurely for fifteen minutes, Yi Tian leaped out of the exit and arrived at a cave that was thirty meters wide. After stopping and looking around, he discovered that the eight people were all present, but they seemed to be arguing about something.
When everyone saw that Yi Tian had also come in, they temporarily stopped talking. Shui Dongcheng ran up to him and said, "Fellow Daoist Yi, you're finally here. I've just entered and I'll have to trouble you to break the formation again." He then pointed to the eight light doors in the surrounding stone rooms.
Yi Tian nodded his head and replied, "I want to see the situation first." He turned around and looked around. This stone room wasn't big. Other than the door that he came in from, there were eight other doors with the symbol of the Eight Trigrams engraved on them, indicating what door it was. In the middle of the stone room, there was a circular stone table with eight chairs beside it.
Seeing this, Yi Tian opened his mouth and said, "Everyone, let's find a seat first before we discuss." After saying that, he found a seat and sat down.
Everyone at the side echoed in agreement and sat down in an orderly manner. Only Yan Zhaoxue shouted, "I just went in through the 'Dui' door, but came out through the 'Kun' door. This is a maze, right? "
Hearing this, Yi Tian only smiled and replied, "Fairy Yan, don't be anxious. The Tianyun Sect is most particular about sincere cooperation. I predict that the first few levels will test the teamwork of the eight people. As for the choice to enter the door, it should be related to the round table in front of us."
After hearing Yi Tian's words, even the most composed Xing Yuan nodded in agreement. "That's right. Since Brother Yi is the leader, everyone will definitely have a way to lead us to break the formation. Yan Zhaoxue, you should be smart and don't cause trouble."
With Xing Yuan taking the lead, the others all nodded in agreement. The situation was one-sided. Yan Zhaoxue also pouted and sat down at the last seat.
After the eight people sat down, Yi Tian looked at the round protrusions on the stone table in front of each seat. He placed his right hand on the protrusions and slowly channeled power into them. In an instant, the stone table seemed to have been activated. Hazy words slowly appeared on it.
Everyone was overjoyed when they saw this. They imitated Yi Tian and touched the corresponding stone table in front of the general's seat. The words in the center of the stone table became clearer after absorbing the power. The words that appeared were 'Heavenly Fire Douren', 'Earth Water Commander', 'Mountain Wind Gu', and 'Pond Lightning Sui'. It seemed that the hint to enter the door was here. Yi Tian was overjoyed. "Brother Dugu, go through the 'Qian' door, and Fellow Xing, go through the 'Li' door. There might be a test after you two enter. Let's meet at the next stop."
The two nodded at Yi Tian and said, "Take care." Then, they walked in different directions. After they entered the door of light, the light in the door dimmed, leaving only an outline on the wall.
Yang Ling was overjoyed. "This should be the Heavenly Fate Sect's Sumeru Space Technique. Every door represents a test. The Heavenly Fate Sect's people always like to use these things to test their descendants. We've hit the jackpot this time."
Du Heiyi said, "I've been digging graves my whole life. Today, I've finally found a big one. Brother Yi, hurry up. I can't wait to go in."
Yi Tian frowned, then smiled. "Alright, let's speed up. Brother Dong Cheng, go through the 'Kun' door, Brother Du, go through the 'Kan' door, Yang Ling, go through the 'Gen' door, Fairy Tong, go through the 'Xun' door, Fairy Yan, go through the 'Dui' door, and I'll go through the 'Zhen' door. Everyone has to follow the instructions on the stage and enter at once. Don't mess up the order. "
After arranging the paths to take, everyone hurriedly found their corresponding lights according to the directions they were assigned. Then, they entered one by one.
The doors of light in the stone room dimmed one by one. After Yi Tian entered, the entire stone room returned to silence.
