Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 333 Unique Nature
In fact, Li Ye has never stopped monitoring the lava underground palace.

The combination of the many puppets and poisonous insects lowered through various channels and rotated regularly were enough to allow him to have a continuous understanding of the movements below.

Just as the number of fire beasts has decreased in recent years, the frequency of their activities has greatly dropped, the Jindan fire beasts have been dormant and no longer appear, and the entire underground cave has become much quieter.

The scene before Li Ye at this moment was actually somewhat desolate, as if this place had returned to the time when it had not yet been discovered and the restrictions had not been violated.

Apart from the faint jumping of the forbidden spiritual light of the formation, there were only sporadic traces of fire beasts appearing from time to time in the underground lava. It looked peaceful and there was no sign of danger at all.

However, after knowing that there was most likely an ancient Nascent Soul ghost in the lava underground palace, Li Ye would not believe him at all for this apparent peace!
"Humph! You've made it so harmless. I've personally set up a blockade outside. Do you really think that reducing the danger will attract other cultivators in?"

Li Ye drove the puppets to clear the way. With his formation skills now reaching the fourth level, these formation restrictions that were once extremely dangerous could no longer pose any threat to him.

After more than 20 years of farming, his goals have been quite clear.

All the experience points gained were used in formation and puppetry, and they have been upgraded to the fourth level.

It's just that the Tiangong Sutra lacks subsequent inheritance, and is currently at a stage where, although it is at a high level, it lacks sufficient matching actual conditions and means of practice, and is basically at the stage of self-deduction and experimentation.

But it is more than enough to deal with these formations and restrictions. He can even sort out these chaotic formations and restrictions carefully, deduce the corresponding changes from them, and use them for his own benefit.

For example, if he could crack a small number of third-level and very few fourth-level formations one by one and compile and summarize them, he would benefit greatly.

At the same time, he controlled the huge puppet army to advance step by step, dissolving all the forbidden formations along the way, and in the process, looted the ruined buildings and islands that had been missed before.

Except for the incomplete casting pavilion that contains suspected spiritual treasures.

He even set up another large formation around that place to seal it off even more tightly.

Even though his cultivation has reached this level now, Li Ye still does not have much confidence that he can subdue it when he recalls the stunning display of spiritual power he had just glimpsed.

If you really want to use it for yourself, you will probably have to wait until your cultivation breaks through the Nascent Soul stage in the future before you will have any hope.

But putting aside the incomplete Foundry Pavilion, there were actually some good things left on the small island surrounding the lava underground palace. Collecting them bit by bit would provide Li Ye with a considerable amount of spiritual materials.

"Although I don't have any spiritual medicine, these materials are quite good. Combined with what I've accumulated over the years, they're enough to upgrade my natal puppet a bit or refine a magical weapon as a supplement..."

Li Ye was distracted and focused his mind, watching the puppet army advance all the way, completely flattening the area around the lava palace, eliminating the hidden dangers of the formation, wiping out the fire beast tribe, and continuously harvesting a lot of materials. He looked satisfied.

He wanted to go to the outer blockade first, so that if there was any problem, these formations would not change and become an obstacle for him.

Even though the noise was a little loud, it seemed extremely arrogant and domineering, which was quite different from his usual style. It seemed as if he was afraid of alarming those golden elixir fire beasts, and he did not restrain himself at all.

Anyway, once he enters the lava underground palace, he will definitely be the first to be noticed. There is no point in restraining him. Instead, it is more important to eliminate the hidden dangers.

As for the various gains, they are just incidental.

Although he did not find the ruined building again with the chance to obtain the inheritance, he was already prepared to enter the lava underground palace directly, so these were not a big deal.

He didn't pay too much attention to it, as Li Ye's mind was preoccupied with more important things.

"But as a split soul, it should be essentially the same as the original body, but I can't open the panel, and the blessing of the entry seems to have lost its effect on me. My overall combat power has dropped significantly..."

"Is the panel unique?"

Li Ye speculated secretly. The unique nature of this panel made him even more intrigued.

"But having only the original body isn't necessarily a bad thing. After all, all his attainments in the arts can be synchronized with mine, which won't hinder me from using many of my methods!"

He was quite relieved.

Perhaps it was because Li Ye's methods were far superior to before, and the puppet army's speed of clearing and advancing was a little faster than he expected. It didn't take long for the underground cave to be cleared.

All the fire beasts and formation restrictions in the entire area have disappeared, and the remains of many buildings have also been revealed, making them look even more ancient and desolate on the lava.

If it weren't for the existence of that magnificent underground palace, this place would not be much different from an ordinary underground fire cave.

"That's about it..."

Li Ye nodded in satisfaction, and with a flick of his sleeve, he collected all the puppets. He came to the lava underground palace, observed the faint aura of the formation covering it, and then walked in without any hindrance.

This spiritual barrier seems to pose no obstacle when entering this time, but it may not be so easy to get out later.

But this matter cannot be avoided, and Li Ye also has some ideas for dealing with it, so he does not worry too much.

The lava underground palace is huge in scale. Even though it is in ruins, it looks like a huge island from the outside, and entering it is like falling into an open maze.

The roads lead in all directions. Although some are dilapidated, they are not as densely covered with arrays as those in the outside world. There are only occasional collapsed buildings with third or fourth level arrays blocking the roads, so you have to take a detour.

Even with the maps collected over the years, it is not easy to compare them one by one.

After using his spiritual sense to explore briefly, Li Ye felt a little confused about where to go.

"Forget it... Just pick a direction."

Not wanting to bother with it any more, Li Ye waved his hand and a cloud of insects flew out from his sleeves. A large number of spirits attached themselves to the poisonous insects and scattered in all directions.

He took a nearby path and walked inside.

If a puppet is released in this area, it is possible that the hidden entity will seize control with secret methods, but the insect poison was trained entirely by Li Ye himself and has nothing to do with the methods of the Tiangong Sutra, so it is still somewhat credible.

It is very suitable for exploring the way and helping him to understand the surrounding environment as quickly as possible.

It would be best if you could gain something from it.

But in fact, he didn't think that the place that had killed Bihu Sanren would allow him to wander around. What's more, he had just caused quite a stir outside. Now that he set foot in there, he would most likely be under surveillance.

The clone did not have any words to bless it, so it did not have the original body's wonderful sensing ability, but at this time, relying on the powerful spiritual sense, it could vaguely feel that there was a gaze falling on it in the dark, with malicious intent, ready to strike.

"You're just spying on me but not attacking me directly? Are you waiting for me to get deeper and unable to escape before you take action?"

Li Ye thought to himself, and continued to move forward without stopping.

It just so happened that he also wanted to use this opportunity to lure out the things hidden in the underground palace and see what they were up to!
