Chapter 878 Peach Blossom Forest

Pu Yanlan naturally didn't know this, and found that there was no ambush in this palace. She immediately entered the cave with everyone else. When she went inside, she saw a different world. In front of her was a magnificent building complex. The entire building was made of white jade, including jade steps, jade walls, jade tiles, jade doors, etc. Everything was made of jade!

In the eyes of the half-snake people, this group of buildings is nothing more than a pile of pale stones, but in the eyes of the monks, it is truly filled with spiritual light and immortal air. There are also bright lights emitted by various treasures shining through the palaces, in all colors of red, orange, yellow, and green. This is a fairy cave, a place of treasure!

"Wow……"

The monks looked at the grandeur of the palace and couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement that they had never seen the world before. Not to mention them, even Pu Yanlan felt that she had seen some of the world, and when she saw this palace complex, she also secretly admired it.

"It is indeed an ancient sect. It is so grand for just a treasure cave!"

Look, these jades alone are not simple!
By the way, why do monks like jade materials, whether in ancient times or now?

Of course it is because jade is different from other materials. Ordinary people can get a piece of good jade, wear it on their body, and nourish themselves with it, so that they can be nourished by the jade. However, after the cultivators get the jade, they can use it to carry talismans, spiritual energy, spells, etc. It is extremely useful!

In ancient times, spiritual jade was everywhere, as common as stone. The immortals used jade as material to build houses, carved magic arrays in the jade, and then infused it with spiritual energy. This entire palace is made of jade, which means that this entire palace complex is an integrated magic array. Once activated, the entire palace complex will turn into a cage, trapping people inside, and they will never be able to get out!

These ancient runes were mysteries that had never been seen or learned before, and the monks felt like they had found a treasure. They examined them carefully, including the steps in front of the door, the runes on the jade door, the bronze furnace cranes guarding on both sides, and the dragon patterns wrapped on the jade pillars on both sides of the door. Some monks even took out the jade slips they carried with them and recorded down the textures of the reliefs one by one!
Pu Yanlan saw that everyone was so engrossed in watching that she coughed lightly and said,

"Everyone, let's go in and take a look at the treasure inside. These runes... I think they are also recorded in the classics..."

Everyone then woke up from their dream, put away the things in their hands, and followed Pu Yanlan and Cai Heming into the open door.

After entering the gate, you will see the first palace. The deity enshrined in this palace is Tuntian, the ancestor of the half-snake race. Originally, the portrait of the founder of the Sanyuan Sect was enshrined in this first palace, but as time went by, it was thrown aside by the half-snake people. They then carved a tall statue of Tuntian out of jade and placed it here.

They went in and took a closer look, and found that there were no other magic arrays. Except for the main entrance, the other three sides of the palace were made of integrated jade. There were no doors in or out, and no magic arrays for teleportation. How could they get to the palace at the back?

So he asked a half-snake man, who shook his head.
"We only worship our ancestors in this hall. We have never been to the back hall, and we don't know how to get in!"

The monks turned to look at Cai Heming and Pu Yanlan. Pu Yanlan motioned the red-clothed man to bring the pitch-black half-snake man in front of him.
"You are the guardians of the ancestors, you must know more than them..."

The middle-aged half-snake man was now stiff and his eyes were dull. Although he had been controlled by magic, he was still trembling when he talked about this. He resisted for a long time with clenched teeth, and finally gave in.
"There is a secret passage in the ancestral altar that leads directly to this place..."

After a pause, he said again,
"Break the ancestor statue in this hall, and then you can activate the second level of the magic circle... This is also a way..."

"Oh……"

Pu Yanlan and Cai Heming looked at each other.
"Where is the ancestral altar, and how can it lead directly here?"

"The ancestral altar is a hundred feet below this mountain... There was originally no road there. It was a passage dug out by our ancestors when they fled... When they entered the cave, they found that there were many magic arrays and they couldn't escape at all, so they retreated back... After that, we were unable to repair that passage, so it has remained until now..."

Of course, the half-snake race also had their own selfish motives. Although they knew they had no use for the magic tools and techniques in the treasure, they were very covetous of the records in the books.
"The ancient immortal sects have a vast amount of martial arts manuals. Who knows, I might be able to find some of the martial arts related to my half-snake race..."

They do not understand the five elements, are cut off from yin and yang, cannot absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and cannot practice martial arts. However, having seen the magical powers of human cultivators, they are naturally envious!

Therefore, they also wanted to enter the treasure trove from underground, even if it was just to steal one or two books!
However, they didn't know that entering through that secret passage would trigger a magic circle. Apart from Tuntian who could withstand the attack of thousands of swords piercing his heart, only the brilliant clan leader of the previous generation could return seriously injured. The rest of them would die if they waited to enter!
As for how the entrance to the front hall was discovered, it was opened once many years ago when the portrait of the founder of Sanyuan Sect was taken down. At that time, the half-snake people also suffered countless casualties. Afterwards, they quickly suppressed it with the statue of Tuntian. After many years, it has never been opened!
After hearing what the half-snake man said, everyone was not too surprised. If this treasure cave of the ancient immortal sect didn't have some magic array, how could it be called a treasure cave?

After everyone discussed it, Cai Heming took action to smash the sky-swallowing jade statue, "Boom..."

After the sword light passed, the jade statue shattered.

"Om..."

The whole palace began to shake. Everyone was prepared and did not panic. After standing still, they looked up and looked around. They heard the main door of the palace slamming shut. The whole palace began to spin. Cai Heming saw something was going on.

"There should be a teleportation array below the main hall, and the shrine above is the door to activate it. As long as the object blocking the center of the array is broken, the array can be activated, no matter what the object is!"

The ancient immortals were very generous. The teleportation array can teleport the entire palace!
But after a moment, the palace stopped shaking, and it was obvious that it had been transported to the destination. Cai Heming said to everyone,
"Everyone, please be patient and wait for me to take a look!"

He took a few steps forward and waved his sleeves, and the palace gate burst open. The scene outside had indeed changed, and he saw a peach blossom forest that stretched as far as the eye could see!

A gust of wind came from nowhere, bringing up a shower of peach blossoms that scattered on everyone's faces. Pu Yanlan raised her hand to catch a piece, looked at it carefully, and raised her eyebrows.
"Illusion array!"

Cai Heming nodded.
"It is indeed an illusion! What a brilliant illusion!"

Illusions and the like, at a low level, are nothing more than confusing the mind and captivating the eyes, making people mistake the false for true and the true for false. But when illusions reach the intermediate level, the false is true and the true is false. When it reaches the high level, whatever the eyes can see and the body can feel is no longer true or false. And if it reaches the magical level, one can create the heaven and the earth, give birth to mountains and rivers, and give birth to all things in a single thought. The truth is born from the false, and it is no different from Pangu creating the world!

This peach blossom forest was already a very exquisite illusion array. The ancient magic array was indeed extraordinary. It was an illusion array like this when it was launched. Pu Yanlan and Cai Heming looked at each other.
"Elder Pu, let me first test the strength of this magic formation!"

Cai Heming took out his folding fan and waved it lightly towards the peach blossom forest. Several small monkeys quickly rushed out and ran towards the peach blossom forest. Soon, they turned into several small black dots in the eyes of everyone. When they were about to disappear, Cai Heming let out a light exclamation.
"Eh...it seems there is no danger ahead!"

Pu Yanlan frowned when she heard this.
"In a place like this, with a magic array like this, the biggest danger is the absence of danger..."

After thinking for a while, she sent a little ghost into the peach blossom forest. The little ghost was different from the monkeys. It walked very slowly into the peach blossom forest, looking around, but it really didn't see anything wrong. Pu Yanlan raised her eyebrows, and felt even more unsure. After thinking for a while, she said,

"Everyone, why don't I take the lead?"

As soon as she finished her words, a thin old man stood up from among the monks and bowed,
"Elder Pu, we were able to get here safely thanks to your help. Now it is time for us to contribute as well!"

Pu Yanlan thought for a while and nodded,
"That's fine!"

The thin old man nodded, turned around and took out a very ordinary-looking flute, raised it to his lips and blew gently, but the flute strangely did not make any sound. Instead, a small butterfly flew out from the flute hole. The small white butterfly flapped its wings, and after a few flaps, it grew from the size of a thumb to the size of a palm. The butterfly fluttered and slowly entered the peach forest. After flying aimlessly for a while, it found an inconspicuous peach tree and stopped. The butterfly flew around the peach tree three times, and suddenly turned into a silver light and flew into the peach tree...

The thin old man showed a happy expression.
"The center of this magic array is in that tree!"

This butterfly is called the Array-Breaking Butterfly, and it is specially bred to find the eye of a magic array. This exotic beast is the most sensitive and can best sense the flow of spiritual energy between heaven and earth. The place where spiritual energy flows most frequently in a magic array is the eye of the array. However, this flow is extremely slight and cannot be sensed by humans, but this spiritual beast butterfly can!
Having found the center of the formation, the thin old man walked towards it without hesitation. Seeing this, everyone followed him. Only Pu Yanlan frowned. Seeing this, the red-clothed man beside him asked,
"Master, do you think it's inappropriate?"

Pu Yanlan said softly,

"I'm afraid this ancient magic circle is not so easy to break..."

As soon as she finished speaking, a burly man took out the long knife on his back and chopped it down on the peach tree.
"Crack..."
