Several hours after the three entered the hurricane, they returned without any results. Furthermore, from Du Ziheng's expression, it wasn't hard to guess that the repair of the sealing formation was not going smoothly.
Before Yi Tian could open his mouth to ask, Abbot Wuyin said worriedly, "Benefactor Yi, the ancient array formation below is showing signs of being destroyed at an accelerated rate. In this old monk's opinion, if it is not quickly repaired, it will completely collapse in less than ten years."
Yi Tian turned to ask, "What did Fellow Daoist Du discover about the formation's condition?"
However, Du Ziheng's face reddened and he didn't say anything for a long time. Instead, it was Old Demon Concord who spoke up, "Fellow Daoist Du was unable to descend past a hundred feet into the icy abyss. As such, there is no way for him to repair the formation."
Abbot Wuyin continued, "This old monk and Benefactor Concord both dived to the bottom of the icy abyss to inspect the seal. However, as I am not proficient in the Dao of Formations, I did not attempt to repair it."
When Gold Devourer heard this, he coldly snorted and said, "It seems that you did not do anything at all and only went to inspect the situation."
As soon as he said this, Old Demon Concord and Du Ziheng's expressions changed. If it weren't for the fact that there were so many people present, they might have already exploded. Abbot Wuyin was someone who knew the ins and outs of the matter. He hastily sent a voice transmission to Old Demon Concord, only to see him look at Gold Devourer in astonishment before turning his head away in silence.
When Du Ziheng saw Old Demon Concord suffer a setback, he knew that Gold Devourer had a powerful background and that his backer was not an existence he could afford to provoke. He immediately chose to sit to the side and not speak a word.
When Abbot Wuyin saw this, he hastily asked, "Benefactor Yi, do you have a suitable method to resolve this matter?"
"I do, but I fear that I do not have enough materials on hand. If Fellow Daoist Du is willing to share some of the materials he has with me, it would be much easier," Yi Tian said without a change in his expression. Under these circumstances, he could take advantage of the opportunity to extort Du Ziheng to vent his anger. As for the matter of repairing the ancient formation, he already had a plan in mind. He would be able to begin once he descended.
When Du Ziheng heard this, a troubled expression appeared on his face. The two late-stage Yuanying cultivators also began to privately discuss this through voice transmission. After a while, the three of them came to an agreement. Du Ziheng sighed and took out several precious materials from his storage ring. He placed them in a storage bracelet and handed it to Abbot Wu Yin.
After passing through Abbot Wu Yin's hands, the bracelet was handed over to Yi Tian. After probing it with his divine sense, he was overjoyed. He hadn't expected Du Ziheng to be a rich man as well. The materials he had taken out were worth tens of millions of spirit stones.
This time, it could be considered as a small interest. Yi Tian's face remained silent as he put away the bracelet and slowly said, "The three of you have just gone down. Quan, please rest here first. This time, I will go down alone."
Old Demon Concord frowned and said, "Brother Yi, don't be so arrogant."
"That's right. Fellow Daoist, don't be so obstinate." Du Ziheng also chimed in.
As for Abbot Wu Yin, although he didn't say anything, his brows were tightly knit together, revealing traces of worry. At this moment, Gold Devourer said, "I'll go down with you. The two of us can take care of each other."
When he said this, Old Demon Concord was speechless. Abbot Wu Yin's brows relaxed and he smiled, "Since Fellow Daoist Gold Devourer is willing to help, our chances of success have increased by 30%. On behalf of the Central Plains Cultivators, Old Monk thanks Benefactor for his assistance."
Without saying anything more, Yi Tian and Gold Devourer gave each other a look. The two of them then flew towards the location of the hurricane. After flying within a hundred miles, Yi Tian suddenly felt that the power of the wind around him suddenly increased by 30%. After the corner of his mouth twitched, a five-inch thick protective shield appeared around his body under the green light.
In an instant, a five-inch layer of faint golden light appeared on his skin. When the astral winds hit the golden light, they couldn't slow down Yi Tian in the slightest.
As for Gold Devourer, a white mane appeared on his skin to protect him. After blocking the astral winds, he flew forward with all his might. His speed wasn't slower than Yi Tian's at all.
As he flew towards the center of the hurricane, Yi Tian felt the astral winds hit his barrier, creating a "zi zi" sound. The closer the hurricane was to the crack in the ground, the stronger the wind became. Abbot Wu Yin and the others had broken through from the top of the hurricane.
Yi Tian scanned with his Divine Sense and found that Gold Devourer was only ten feet behind him. He suggested, "Let's go down from the top as well."
"That's how it should be," Gold Devourer replied without any hesitation.
Hearing this, Yi Tian's body flashed again and stabilized the barrier. He flew into the hurricane in the air. Gold Devourer didn't hesitate to follow.
When they arrived at the center of the tornado, Yi Tian noticed that the wind speed near the center of the tornado was much weaker than the outer edges. However, there seemed to be an invisible suction force pulling the two of them down into the icy abyss.
After stabilizing his body, Yi Tian slowly descended towards the crevice on the ground. During this time, not only did he have to resist the erosion of the strong wind, he also had to circulate his Qi to control his body so that he wouldn't be affected by the suction force.
Not long after, the two of them passed through the crack in the ground and arrived at the underground space. Yi Tian took out a night pearl and lit up the surrounding ten feet. At the same time, he found that the two of them were exploring the bottom of the hurricane, but the deeper they went, the stronger the hurricane became.
Fortunately, the width of this underground fissure was not small, spanning a distance of at least three hundred meters. When Yi Tian and his companion had descended to a depth of ten meters, they discovered that they were wrapped in a pillar of wind with a radius of five meters, and the deeper they went, the smaller the area of the hurricane.
After calculating the strength of the hurricane, Yi Tian said, "Let's break through from here. It will be difficult to go any further."
Gold Devourer didn't reply and only nodded. Then Yi Tian's body flashed with golden light as he used the Buddhist Sect's Golden Sun Movement Technique. His entire body seemed to be covered in a layer of golden foil.
The light was like a small sun, illuminating the dark underground space. His figure flashed and forcibly broke through the edge of the hurricane.
After rushing out, Yi Tian stabilized his body and looked back. He saw a white ball of fur squeeze out before the hole he had broken through was completely closed.
The white ball of fur spun a few times in the air and then slowly opened. Soon, Gold Devourer's figure appeared. Gold Devourer's eyes flashed and he took the lead to fly down. At the same time, he didn't forget to call out, "Follow me."
Yi Tian was stunned at first, but then he understood that the Soul Devourer Rat King's main body must have been here before. That's why it was so familiar with this place. He stopped using the Golden Sun Movement Technique and turned to follow.
Not long after, under Gold Devourer's lead, the two of them landed at the bottom of the abyss. However, the surrounding stone walls were covered with ice crystals, and the temperature was much lower than above.
