Through the introduction, Ye Chen found out that the old priest's surname was Xu, and the young man was called Cheng Gong. The other man and woman were Cheng Gong's siblings. The other woman in black called herself Lotus. The eight of them set off.
Along the way, Old Priest Xu was as enthusiastic as fire. He introduced the various treasures and dangerous places of Tongxuan Planet to everyone, teaching them his trading experience, and so on.
Then, he changed the topic and asked Ye Chen, "Fellow Ye, where are you from?"
Ye Chen smiled to himself and replied, "The three of us are independent cultivators from Fire Spirit Planet."
Cheng Gong probed, "I heard that something big happened on Fire Spirit Planet recently. I wonder if you can tell me about it?"
"Are you talking about the destruction of Wood Spirit Planet and the three masters?"
Cheng Gong shook his head. "I heard that something happened to the Fire Spirit Planet's Fire Domain."
Ye Chen pretended to be confused and said in surprise, "Fire Domain? We're just ordinary independent cultivators. How could we know about the Fire Spirit Tribe's sacred land? "
Cheng Gong smiled and changed the topic, "I only heard it from the grapevine. Don't mind me, Fellow Ye."
Ye Chen waved his hand.
Subsequently, Cheng Gong chatted with Lotus.
Lotus, however, put on a cold face and didn't pay any attention to him.
The group soon arrived at a small island and teleported to the depths of the sea through the Teleportation Formation.
Old Priest Xu led the way and kept moving in the deep sea. Suddenly, Ye Chen noticed something in the deep sea ahead. He probed with his Divine Consciousness and realized that it was the lair of two ferocious sea beasts.
Ye Chen's eyes flashed. He realized that Old Priest Xu had gone around the lair on purpose. Then, he went straight into the sea beasts' lair.
"Roar!"
The two sea beasts roared and charged at everyone with their mountain-like bodies.
"It's a male and female Golden Core Giant Whale Beast!" Old Priest Xu pretended to be shocked. Then, he charged at the male Giant Whale Beast with the other three and shouted, "Fellow Ye, the four of you deal with that one."
Ye Chen faced the female Giant Whale Beast that was charging at him. He used some physical strength and the two collided.
"Boom!!!"
The seawater churned and waves surged everywhere.
Ye Wushuang and the other two unleashed the attack power of ordinary Golden Core cultivators, but it was like a drop in the ocean against the female Giant Whale Beast.
At this moment, Lotus teleported to the top of the female beast's head and pierced it with an inch of green light. Boom! A powerful Zhen Yuan exploded in its body, causing the female beast to violently writhe.
Lotus attacked once again. Suddenly, the red light on the beast's body surged. Its cultivation had actually reached the peak of the Gold Core stage. Its huge tail swatted towards Lotus.
Lotus was shocked, but when she saw Ye Chen rushing toward the Giant Beast, she flew into a rage. "Go away!"
Ye Chen was sent flying hundreds of feet away by the giant beast.
Lotus erupted with even stronger Zhen Yuan, and a sword light streaked across the sky like a green mountain, killing the huge beast.
On the other side, Old Daoist Xu and the others had also finished their battle.
The people gathered together. They could not help but feel relieved when they saw that Ye Chen was only lightly injured.
Old Priest Xu was very vexed. "It's all my fault for leading you the wrong way."
Cheng Gong stepped forward to comfort Ye Chen. "Fellow Ye, are you alright? I have some healing medicinal pills here."
How would Ye Chen dare to take his medicinal pill? "I'm fine. My body-refining cultivation method is very good. It's just a minor injury."
The group set off again.
Old Priest Xu led the group around the sea again, constantly releasing some aura-eliminating formations or ambushing other people's magic treasures. He said that this was to prevent people from following them and killing them to steal their treasures.
Ye Chen was surprised. This old priest was very careful. However, in the face of absolute power, these little things could not even withstand a single blow.
After a long time, the group was almost impatient. Old Priest Xu finally arrived at the so-called ancient ruins.
Old Priest Xu took out a token from his pocket and chanted softly. He performed a series of hand seals, and soon, a light film appeared in the air. There was a red light flowing on it, and the formation was incomparably exquisite. The restriction at the entrance of the ruins was activated.
Old Priest Xu pointed ahead and said, "The ruins are below. We have to break the restriction together to enter."
Everyone attacked together, and the bottom of the sea was instantly overflowing with light. The terrifying pressure had long scared away the living beings within a hundred miles.
Rumble!!!
The restriction shook crazily, and the red light dimmed. Then, it was broken, and the impact stirred up shocking waves in all directions.
The restriction was broken, revealing a broken stone door. There were complicated carvings and huge stone pillars on both sides. All of them showed the glory of the ancient times and the extraordinariness of the owner of the ruins.
Old Priest Xu took the lead and entered the ruins while the rest followed behind.
Inside the ruins, gravel and broken walls were everywhere. Many decorations made of spiritual plants had long decayed, and the air was filled with a rotten and damp smell.
"Be careful. I've only been in the periphery. There are many formations and traps in the inner area." Old Priest Xu passed through the periphery with ease. Soon, he arrived at a tunnel. There was a faint palace on the other side of the tunnel.
Old Priest Xu looked at the tunnel nervously. "I came here last time, so I dare not go any further. Let's think of a way to go there together."
Ye Chen observed the layout of the ruins along the way and combined with the decorations, he guessed that the ruins were an ancient underwater immortal sect. The periphery was the outer disciple area, and behind the tunnel was the inner sect, the real sect.
On both sides of the tunnel was a dark and deep underwater abyss. Even a Soul Splitting cultivator would die if they fell into it.
Meanwhile, the only tunnel had a killing formation activated. There were many killing formations along the way, and they were all interconnected. Those below Void Refinement would definitely die if they barged in.
They had to find the eye of the formation here to break it!
Old Priest Xu looked at the tunnel and frowned. "We can't resist the killing formation in this tunnel. How can we go through it?"
At that moment, the young man took the initiative to stand out. He looked at the tunnel with confidence. "I know a thing or two about formations, so I'll give it a try."
He floated to the tunnel after saying that. The formation suddenly exploded, and countless saber gleams appeared out of nowhere. They shot at the young man as if the young man would be pierced by thousands of sabers in the next second.
"Break!"
The young man shouted and took a step forward. The young man's clothes fluttered even though there was no wind. A gust of wind rose into the sky and destroyed the sabers that were surrounding him.
Subsequently, the young man broke a few formations consecutively and found the eye of the formation. His True Origin exploded and he slammed it down. The floor shattered, and gravel flew everywhere. The killing formation in the tunnel was broken!
Old Priest Xu was overjoyed and immediately led everyone to catch up.
He smiled. "With Young Master here, the snow ink is in the bag."
Old Priest Xu led the way to avoid the traps while the young man broke the formation. It was a daunting journey, but there was no danger. Soon, they arrived at the inner sect.
Ye Chen was amazed when he saw the duo's cooperation. Did they really just know each other?
Soon, they entered a ruined palace. Many broken stone pillars fell to the ground, and only half of a broken plaque was left hanging. The word 'treasure' was written on it.
