After breaking through the hole in the formation pattern node, Yi Tian felt as if he had entered a bottomless abyss. His body involuntarily fell down rapidly.
Opening his eyes to look around, it seemed as if he was quickly sliding through a certain passage of the formation. Not long after, his eyes lit up and he slammed heavily into the ground like a cannonball.
Fortunately, he had opened the protective shield early. Even so, the dizziness from the impact made Yi Tian recover for a long time. At this time, he looked around and found that he was already in the ruins of the tool pavilion. There was a layer of white halo in the sky above, isolating the surrounding thousand miles from the outside world.
Thinking about his situation, Yi Tian smiled. Since he was fated to enter this time, he could take this opportunity to explore the tool pavilion. Thinking about the inheritance of Wan Zongming's alchemy book in the pill pavilion, Yi Tian was also looking forward to seeing what the head of the tool pavilion left behind.
He slowly spread out his divine sense to its fullest extent and found that he could only scan a radius of five kilometres. Thinking back, a similar situation had occurred in the past. This was the result of the restrictive arrays greatly suppressing the divine senses of the cultivators within the array.
After sorting out his mood, Yi Tian chose a path that led in the direction of the Artifact Pavilion's Ancestral Hall. Looking around, this path up the mountain had some twists and turns on the mountainside, presumably this path would not be easy to walk.
Recalling that he had to break through two checkpoints to sneak into the pill pavilion, Yi Tian's face showed no fear as he walked straight there.
Walking on the stone steps, he didn't find anything unusual. After walking for a while, he only felt that the distance to the halfway point of the mountain didn't shorten much. Looking back, he had indeed walked a lot of steps.
Looking down, he thought that as a Yuanying cultivator, his footsteps were not slow, but why did it seem like the path in front of him was endless.
This was obviously a problem. Yi Tian lowered his head and thought for a moment, then he found that he had unknowingly walked to the first checkpoint of the mountain. The path beneath his feet should have been set up with a Sumeru Spatial Array. The moment he walked up, he had already entered this array.
Then, Yi Tian exerted force on his feet and used an escape technique. His figure flashed and directly flew up. Originally, he wanted to use this opportunity to test the power of the Sumeru Spatial Array, but after flying for a short while, his vision blurred and his whole body seemed to have teleported and disappeared in mid-air.
After 10 breaths' worth of time, Yi Tian retracted his escape technique and landed on the ground. Looking around, a look of shock appeared on his face. Looking around, he found that he had returned to the starting point of this grand path.
His heart sank as he thought to himself, 'There's something strange about this path. It seems like flying won't work. I can only walk forward obediently.' Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a stone pillar at the side of the starting point. On it, he could clearly see the words' A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step '. At the end, there was a signature that read' Yu Yaoqing '.
Three words.
The Artifact Pavilion's First Seat was called Yu Yaoqing. This person should be a second generation disciple like his Ancestral Masters, Yun Zhongzheng, Gu Hui and Wan Zongming.
Since there was such a hint, Yi Tian did not dare to delay any longer. He retracted his spirit energy and took one step at a time up the stone steps, heading towards the finishing point halfway up the mountain.
Although he was not very interested in these checkpoints, they were tests left behind by the Li Fire Sect's second generation disciples for their juniors. Hence, he could not rush it.
Since he was the only one here, it did not matter if he spent more time. Thinking of this, Yi Tian's footsteps gradually quickened as he continued walking forward.
After an hour, Yi Tian found something strange. Although this path had been set up with a Sumeru Space Array, other than the abnormally slow journey at the beginning, the progress gradually sped up. The only difference was that the burden on his body increased.
As such, Yi Tian had a plan. From the looks of it, the first half of the array was to train the disciples' temperament and get rid of their impetuousness. The second half was to test their cultivation level.
These trials did not pose any hindrance to him. Following which, he maintained a constant speed as he quickly ran up the stone steps. After about four hours, he finally reached the resting point halfway up the mountain. Before he could rejoice, he suddenly heard a sound coming from the Artifact Pavilion.
He immediately frowned. This restriction was usually very quiet, so such a situation would definitely not occur. However, this sound was abnormally clear in his ears. It was obvious that there was a problem.
After pondering for a moment, his face suddenly revealed a look of shock. He could not help but think that since he could sneak in while the restriction nodes were weakened, there was no guarantee that others could do the same.
Thinking back to the Yuanying cultivator who was wrapped in the light, he was afraid that he was not the only one who had entered the Ancestral Land.
Thinking of this, Yi Tian's face suddenly sank. Since someone dared to have ideas about the Li Fire Ancestral Land, they could not blame him. Fortunately, the other party did not seem to be aware of his existence. Now that the enemy was in the open and he was in the dark, he could scheme against the other party.
Turning his head to look at the road ahead, Yi Tian felt that he could not free himself to deal with this uninvited guest for the time being. He then took out a few pills and swallowed them. After quickly recovering his spirit force, he hurriedly walked to the next level.
Unlike in the Pill Pavilion, where there was someone to lead the way, Yi Tian could only rely on himself this time. Fortunately, his Divine Sense could still explore a range of about ten miles, so he was very careful while releasing his Divine Sense along the way. He was afraid that he would make any noise and expose his whereabouts.
As he continued to walk forward, it did not take long for him to reach the platform of the second stage. At this time, his Divine Sense swept across the platform and he saw a huge chessboard. Unlike in the Western Wilderness, where people had to play the role of chess pieces, the red and black chess pieces on both sides were arranged in a endgame.
The 32 chess pieces on this chessboard were all in the form of statues. As for the extra chess pieces on both sides, they should be the ones that were eaten.
It was just that Yi Tian had been focusing on cultivation for so many years, so he rarely touched on the Six Arts of Gentlemen. Even so, compared to those cultivators who were obsessed with cultivation, he was much better.
But when it came to solving the endgame, it required a considerable amount of skill. Even if he had the handbooks of those national masters in front of him, he wouldn't be able to learn them in time.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but show some worry on his face. If he was delayed here, the other party would not be able to solve the chessboard. Maybe they would have already walked to the Artifact Pavilion's ancestral hall before he could solve the chessboard.
Time waits for no man. Yi Tian secretly cursed Yu Yaoqing. This guy not only knew how to refine weapons, but he also knew how to fiddle with these things. But when he turned his gaze to the chessboard, his face was filled with doubt as he said, 'There are so many Li Fire Sect disciples, but not all of them are proficient in the chessboard. Does Yu Yaoqing's actions offend all the visiting disciples? Or does he not need to solve the game directly?'
