chapter 242

"How about this, Fellow Daoist Wang will help Array Master Long conquer the Snake Abode. After you take the Inheritance you require, we'll split the remaining Spirit Materials evenly. Fellow Daoist Wang also desires the Fengshui Mystical Arts that Array Master has mastered."

Saying this, Long Yiran's brow was already furrowed, but she suppressed her impatience and waited for Wang Yu to finish speaking.

"The Ancient Sect ruins I have knowledge of is the Sky Soul Sect, specializing in Soul Path Cultivation. You help me locate it, and I will complete the Inheritance. The Spirit Materials obtained from the ruins will still be divided equally.

"Furthermore, Array Master Long can choose one Sky Soul Sect Inheritance, and Fellow Daoist Wang will definitely teach it to you, as the price for exchanging Fengshui Mystical Arts. How about it?"

After he finished speaking.

Long Yiran fell into silence. Because her own Inheritance was extraordinary, and she also cultivated the Soul Path, she had some understanding of the Ancient Heavenly Soul Sect.

This was one of the overlord-level factions that was destroyed in the Ancient Blood Demon Calamity. The Sect Gate Ruins must have multiple Soul Path Core Formation Inheritances, and might even involve Spirit Transformation, with countless methods.

Its value far exceeded the Snake Abode. Similarly, the danger would also far exceed the Snake Abode. Here, she had a great grasp of the situation, but if she went to the Heaven Soul Sect Ruins…

But for an Independent Cultivator who cultivated arduously, this was an irresistible temptation. She had to consider whether this was the only opportunity in her life.

Seeing her hesitation, Wang Yu was not in a hurry to urge her.

Bringing Long Yiran along was the result of his careful consideration. The Inheritance of a Heaven Array Master was too vague, while an Earth Array Master happened to be the ancestor of Feng Shui surveying.

In this regard, there must be many powerful means.

The Heaven Soul Sect Ruins would not be his last exploration to find locations. It would be better to learn Fengshui Mystical Arts early. When searching for other Ancient Sites in the future, it would be impossible to always find an Earth Array Master to help.

It's better to rely on oneself than to ask for help from others.

Secondly, the Ancient Heavenly Soul Sect Ruins were fraught with danger, just like letting him break into the Mountain Gate of the Inverse Spirit Blood Sect after its decline. Having another person who was proficient in Formations by his side would be more reassuring.

After pondering for a good while, Long Yiran suddenly spoke.

"How can I be sure you are telling the truth?"

"Simple."

Wang Yu proposed cooperation because he believed in Mind Power's judgment of Long Yiran. The other party did not have the character of a Red Kite Demonic Cultivator, but was more like People of Taihu.

It was also strange to say that since entering the Heavenly Demon Bone Forest.

Even the Elder of the Ruan Family had some characteristics of a Taihu Cultivator. He had clearly entered the Red Kite Cultivator Territory~

"Nether River Pact?"

"Correct."

Before departing, he had made a lot of preparations for everything to go smoothly. This Nether River Pact was what he had asked Zuoqiu Ming for. There weren't many, just a stack.

When going out, it was inevitable to encounter some problems that could not be solved through Combat Technique.

After drafting the terms, Long Yiran carefully checked them several times, and only after formally signing did she breathe a sigh of relief.

In addition to the trade Wang Yu had just proposed in the terms.

There was also a clause that neither of them could harbor any Thoughts of harming each other, and the time limit was after leaving the Ten Thousand Demon Bone Forest.

Furthermore, during the cooperation period, they could not conceal any Intelligence related to the Cave Dwelling or ruins, which was considered to have laid a Foundation of Trust.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, where did you get this Nether River Pact? This thing is expensive to manufacture, and it's rare to see among Independent Cultivators."

Long Yiran's Expression showed a hint of curiosity.

Wang Yu then fabricated a story: "Naturally, I snatched it from those Second Generation Heirs. Let's talk about the Snake Abode first, and by the way, take Fellow Daoist Wang to have a look."

"Alright."

The Passage leading to the Snake Abode had already been opened up by Long Yiran. Wang Yu, the latecomer, followed in the footsteps of the former and walked into a Passage.

In just the time it takes for three incense sticks to burn, they arrived at a more vast Underground Space. This place had been renovated, resembling a rectangular Plaza.

Covered in Bronze, it was a peculiar "丰" shaped structure. Only the straight line in the middle could be walked on, and on both sides were Square Pools, with green Qi floating above them.

Long Yiran explained.

"There is a Sky Restriction Formation here, hidden deep within the Bronze. Divine Sense cannot penetrate it, let alone Study and crack it. Fellow Daoist Wang, do not rashly fly into the air."

"Okay."

When Wang Yu truly stepped onto this straight path in the middle, he then discovered that the Square Pools on both sides seemed to be full of snake eggs that were one or two meters high.

"This—"

"This is the origin of the Snake Abode's name. This Formation Grandmaster was also proficient in Beast Taming and the Puppetry Path, and was Able To Use them to set up Formations.

"These are all eggs of the Ancient Monster Beast [Earth Turbid Great Snake]. After the ravages of time, they have all become dead eggs, which is truly a pity, but it has also caused the Turbid Poison Grand Array on this Plaza to lose its effectiveness."

"Indeed, so it is."

Long Yiran explained as she led the way forward.

After walking for another period of time, until the end of the Square Plaza, a huge Bronze Gate hundreds of meters high appeared in their Vision.

One side was engraved with Vegetation, and the other side was engraved with birds, beasts, insects, and fish.

In the very center was a huge pattern of a snake head hissing!

"Fellow Daoist Wang, according to what I know, when this Ancient Senior arranged the Snake Abode, it was to find an outstanding Successor. His Strength definitely Reached the Nascent Soul Stage.

"After ten thousand years of time, the arrangements within should have lost Not a small amount of their Power. The danger should be around the Core Formation Stage. Do you really want to enter with me?"

"Of course, now that we're here, it would be a pity not to go in and explore."

"Alright."

Long Yiran nodded. She was just asking out of politeness. Since the Contract had been signed, how could Wang Yu not enter.

"Later, when I crack the Formation, Fellow Daoist Wang can use your Means."

"Alright, let's begin."

Wang Yu only had a superficial understanding of Formations. As for why he was full of confidence… he had money! Money could solve most problems.

As Long Yiran acted, the Hand Seals she formed transformed into Array Seals, embedding them into the nodes of the Bronze Gate. She followed the arrangements of the Cave Dwelling master.

Using Same Lineage Means, taking the Righteous Path of cracking, therefore, it required her Array Path Attainment to Reach the required level to successfully break the Formation.

This was also the reason why she had stayed here for several years.

Confronting the Formation of the Bronze Gate could also hone her Array Path Attainment, which was actually a kind of test that was of great benefit.

The Method Wang Yu wanted to use was the Evil Path.

Watching Long Yiran's speed of forming Array Seals become slower and slower, and beads of sweat appear on her forehead, the snake head pattern in the middle of the Bronze Gate seemed to come alive.

A pair of turbid yellow eyes coldly stared at the two people in front of the Gate.

Wang Yu did not recognize specifically what Formation it was, so he took out several Third Grade · Restriction Breaking Talismans from his Ocean Heart Ring.

This Thing was created by Talisman Grandmasters specifically for Cultivators to crack Formations and Restrictions all over the world. Whether in Great Lake or Red Kite, they were definitely contraband.

Although Long Yiran had grasped the Skill of an Earth Array Master, the Method was after all incomplete, and she still needed to come to the Snake Abode to accept the Trial and complete it.

Her friendship with the Ruan Family further illustrated that she was actually an Independent Cultivator with not much experience.

Therefore.

After seeing Wang Yu take out the Restriction Breaking Talisman, her eyes widened a bit.

As the silver gleaming Talismans pierced through the air and stuck to the snake head pattern, in just three Breaths, a layer of green light emerged on the Bronze Gate.

Spider Web-like cracks began to appear. Long Yiran's Expression lit up with joy: "Similar, it's about to break!"

With a loud boom, the green floating light shattered.

The snake head engraving directly exploded, but the entire Bronze Gate was not greatly Damaged, only a thirty-meter diameter breach appeared in the middle, completely transparent!

Her Effort here for many years was not for nothing, she had Already cracked most of the Formation. Wang Yu's Restriction Breaking Talisman was just the last Bargaining Chip.

Otherwise, in the complete State of the Formation, at least three would be needed to start.

This Strength also made Wang Yu have More Anticipation in his heart.

"Let's go, go in and take a look."

The two followed the breach in the Bronze Gate and entered. Long Yiran threw a small jade seal to him and explained.

"I haven't been inside here either, but there must be Formations hidden to identify Successors. This jade seal can prevent you from being Targeted by the Protection Mechanism of the Snake Abode."

Wang Yu nodded his thanks. The Snake Abode was specifically arranged for the Trial of Successors. It was Reasonably unexpected that those who did not meet the requirements would be Slaughtered.

After entering, it was still a Bronze Passage, without any forks in the road.

The difference was that there were many more patterns on the Walls on both sides, like murals, but they were different. They were entirely composed of arcs that Continuously Extended, forming snake-shaped Patterns, which were Difficult to recognize as images.

Furthermore, this Bronze Passage was excessively large, perfectly matching the size of that Gate. Wang Yu and Long Yiran standing at the Entrance were like ants.

"We can fly."

Wang Yu habitually wanted to take off to survey the Terrain, but found that he had flown up. Obviously, there was no Sky Restriction Formation arranged inside.

Receiving the reminder, Long Yiran also flew over.

"Brother Wang, let's advance together."

Her address subtly changed, and she did not ask about the Restriction Breaking Talisman just now. Her attitude became much Closer imperceptibly, for some unknown reason.

Was it seeing his sincerity?

"Let's go."

Without saying much, the two flew straight along the Passage. At first, they still consumed True Essence to accelerate, but after flying for most of the day without seeing the end, their Speed slowed down.

Using the Physical Flight Instinct brought about by the Foundation Establishment Realm, they flew forward slowly. This State did not consume True Essence, and although it was said to be slow, it actually had the Speed of a Qi Condensation Cultivator controlling a Flying Sword.

"What's going on? Can we still fall into a Maze Array with only one Passage? Or is this Passage incomparably long?"

Wang Yu Released Divine Sense Sensing, but did not discover any traces of Formations. Long Yiran was also a little strange, but affirmed.

"There is No Maze Array here, perhaps… it's some kind of Bewildering Formation."

"Bewildering Formation?"

"Yes."

He only had a superficial understanding of Formations, let alone "Formations" involving Fengshui Mystical Arts!

"Heaven and earth will generate various Fengshui Formations due to Heavenly Timing and Terrain. One of them is the Bewildering Formation.

"Without any Formations or Spiritual Qi Participation, relying solely on the Terrain can make people keep turning in circles in the same place. This should also be a Trial arranged by the Cave Dwelling master."

"How to break it?"

Understanding the Fengshui Mystical Arts he had been longing for, Wang Yu's interest was high, wanting to see Long Yiran's Means. The other party also smiled proudly.

"Array Path Attainment is Subject to Cultivation Level Limitations, but this Fengshui Mystical Arts is basic skill. Brother Wang, Rest Assured and leave it to me."

Immediately afterwards.

Long Yiran took out a small Array Discs engraved with Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, stepped on Dipper Steps, and chanted an Incantation mysteriously. When passing by Wang Yu, she grabbed him.

And unexpectedly crashed into the Bronze wall.

"Became!"

Rumble rumble~

Before the two could react, the Passage suddenly trembled, and a Terror Bronze giant snake exceeding a Thousand Meters crushed over from behind.

"You this—"
