Yi Tian flew alone in the depths of the Western Desolation. Although he had gone in alone several times, he was not confident in this mission. After staying in the cave abode in the lava volcano for ten years, he had already strengthened the 'Sunflower True Fire' thrice and completely merged it into his own natal true fire.
After doing this, he found that his cultivation had reached the stable stage of the late Jiedan stage. Although it was not far from the peak stage, and he estimated that he would definitely reach it after 20 years of cultivation, just sitting in the immortal's cave and meditating was not a solution.
Ten days ago, when he was rummaging through the items in his storage bag, he discovered a flash of light in the Ancient Master City's mission jade slip. When he opened it, he discovered that the mission deadline was almost up. There was also a paragraph describing that he had to reinforce the seal to prevent any accidents from happening that could endanger this world.
After reading it, Yi Tian's heart trembled. For it to be so detailed, it was definitely not a small matter. Now that Master Gu had fallen, someone had to do this job.
After thinking about it, he decided to go take a look first. If something really happened, it would be a good thing for him to lend a hand.
In addition, the long period of cultivation had caused his cultivation to enter a bottleneck, so going out for a walk would be beneficial.
With these thoughts in mind, he decided to leave the cave and go to the forbidden area in the Western Desolation.
Fortunately, there was a detailed map in the Ancient Master City's mission jade slip. According to the direction, he had to go past the Wisdom King Holy Son's cave and then fly west to the westernmost sea of the Western Desolation.
This journey was quite far. According to the speed of the Jin Dan cultivators, it would take them at least two months to fly. It was almost across the no man's land of the Western Desolation.
Along the way, he tried his best to avoid the territories of those high-level demonic beasts. He shuttled through the uninhabited wilderness. When he passed by the valley where the Wisdom King Holy Son's treasure was hidden, he discovered that the Earth Jiao and Kui Niu were still obediently guarding the cave. Yi Tian did not disturb them. He just swept his Divine Sense and flew far away from this area.
After crossing the river valley, the following road was one that he had not traveled before, so he had to be extremely alert. He spread out his Divine Sense, which could cover a radius of about three hundred miles. Then, he flew forward slowly at a constant speed.
One and a half months later, Yi Tian found that the road ahead was getting increasingly difficult. It was not only because of the Yao Beasts running amok in the underground world, but also because the space 30 zhang above the ground was filled with layers of fog. Due to that, Yi Tian had no choice but to maintain his altitude. Holding the quest jade slip in his right hand, he occasionally had to utilize his eye technique to see through the fog below to determine his position.
After flying like this for three to four days, he finally discovered a barren mountain not far away. He was overjoyed and hurriedly looked at the map on the jade slip, only to see the words' Prison Peak 'written on it.
He thought to himself, 'There's no mistaking it. This is the place.' Immediately, he narrowed his Divine Sense to a range of 50 kilometers, and used all his ocular techniques to scan the surroundings of Prison Peak. After looking around, he didn't find any living creatures or monsters. After making up his mind, he quickly circulated his spirit force and flew toward Prison Peak.
It wasn't until they were three miles away from the mountain that they realized that a thin layer of light had appeared in front of them, enveloping the entire mountain.
It was clear that this was a formation set up by the ancestor of the Thousand Spirit Sect. Yi Tian knew how powerful people like them were. Seeing that he couldn't break through the formation, he began to hesitate.
Then, he picked up the quest jade slip and couldn't help but be overjoyed. He didn't expect that the method to open the formation would require him to use the Radiant Sword Art to strike the formation core.
He secretly rejoiced that he had comprehended the entire Radiant Sword Art left behind by Master Gu. Although he hadn't cultivated the Thousand Spirit Technique, it shouldn't be a problem to use the Mysterious Yang Tactic's spirit force.
However, he didn't know where the formation core was. After looking through the quest jade slip, he found that there was no mention of it.
After slowly descending into the sky, Yi Tian circled around the light barrier. The entire mountain wasn't very big. Adding on the restrictions around it, it was only about five kilometers in radius.
However, the light barrier looked very weak. He didn't know what would happen if he touched the restriction.
Yi Tian carefully took out a few fireball talismans and activated them after pouring spirit force into them. Then, he ran to the side and used the Controlling Object Technique to control the fireball to strike the light barrier.
Only a few flashes of light could be seen. When the fireball touched the light barrier, it was cut open by a few golden threads.
After a few loud bangs, the fist-sized fireball was cut into several pieces by the thin threads as easily as a kitchen knife cutting a melon.
After testing it, Yi Tian became more honest. The formation set up by the human race wasn't something that a Jin Dan cultivator like him could break.
Withdrawing his hand, he began to circle around the Prison Peak in the air. Since the mission jade slip said that there was a restriction array core, there was no harm in carefully searching for it. Using force was definitely not going to work.
Six hours later, after circling the Prison Peak twice, he finally found something. On the back of the Prison Peak, facing the sea, there was a ten meter tall sword-shaped stone pillar inserted into a rocky slope.
At the end of the towering sword hilt, there was a fist-sized blue fluorite embedded in it. Presumably, this was the core of the entrance restriction array.
There were layers of inscriptions carved on the sword hilt. It looked like a powerful sealing formation.
Since he was here, he didn't want to miss it. He directly copied the formation patterns. Perhaps they would be useful in the future. Then, he took out a blank jade slip and began to copy the pattern on it.
Not long after, Yi Tian put away the jade slip and flew near the sword hilt. He swept the blue fluorite with his Divine Sense. This thing was definitely a level seven material, but he couldn't directly pry it off. He might even trigger the formation.
After the thoughts in his mind dispersed, he took out a spirit sword and used his wood spirit power to activate the Radiant Sword Secret Art. The spirit sword in his hand instantly shrank into a light beam. Then, under Yi Tian's control, it circled in the air a few times and found a good angle to strike the fluorite.
After the blue light flashed, the flying sword bounced back. He turned his head to look at the formation core, but it was intact. The entire formation didn't change at all.
Just as he was wondering, he suddenly heard a roar. The inscriptions on the sword hilt were slowly activated. Then, he saw a majestic aura coming from the inscriptions on the sword hilt. Not long after, the outer layer of the sword hilt began to peel off, revealing the bright white sword inside.
On the side, Yi Tian was also shocked. After the outer layer of the sword hilt was peeled off, its true appearance was revealed. It was at least twenty meters long. How could an ordinary cultivator wield it?
With a 'whoosh', the Sealing Sword directly shot out and flew towards the restriction. After three breaths of time, it disappeared into the restriction.
The originally shining formation slowly opened up a ten meter tall and three meter wide gap. Yi Tian was happy when he saw this. He hurriedly used his escape technique to enter.
After ten breaths, the formation slowly returned to its original state. There was no trace of it at all.
