Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 224 Third-Order Remnant Array
"Crash!"

The waves surged, and fish and beasts leaped.

The golden egg opened its mouth, urging the ocean to embrace all rivers, and swallowed all the spirits that leaped out of the sea.

Chen Beiwu narrowed his eyes slightly, his powerful divine sense constantly scanning the surroundings.

The golden egg possesses the might of a dragon, and wherever it goes, even the most intelligent second-realm demons will retreat.

On the contrary, some fish spirits with low intelligence, who only act on instinct, will take the initiative to launch suicide attacks to provide the golden eggs with succulent fish meat.

"Golden Egg, speed up!" Chen Beiwu commanded.

His divine sense covered an area of ​​up to two hundred feet. He could easily scan the area while traveling and find that the resources in this sea area were relatively scarce, mostly first-tier exotic herbs, so there was no need to linger.

‘Gulu. ’

After flying more than a hundred miles in a southeast direction, a giant stone palace suddenly appeared in Chen Beiwu's divine sense.

The plaza surrounding the main hall features twelve massive obsidian pillars arranged in a ring, supporting a dome over ten feet high that emits a faint glow.

'It's actually a remnant third-tier formation!'

Chen Beiwu frowned slightly, his gaze falling on the two piles of charred, mangled corpses and broken magical artifacts in the center of the square.

Clearly, he was not the first monk to arrive at the Great Stone Hall.

Judging from the aura emanating from the corpses, two Foundation Establishment cultivators had already perished under this third-tier incomplete formation before Chen Beiwu arrived at the main hall.

In the center of the megalithic hall, a piece of mineral about the size of a fist, irregularly shaped and multifaceted, with flowing reddish-gold veins on its surface, is faintly glowing.

It is a top-grade, third-tier gold and fire dual-attribute treasure ore called [Golden Flame Crystal Marrow].

This item can be used to forge a high-grade third-tier magic weapon, or it can be used as the key element of a third-tier treasure array of metal and fire attributes.

"Gurgle?" The golden egg looked at Chen Beiwu.

It didn't understand formations, but it could feel the intense pressure emanating from the giant stone hall.

Give me some time.

Chen Beiwu changed his hand seals and used the array observation technique recorded in the Zhou Tian Xing Yan Lu.

boom!
As if struck hard on the back of the head, Chen Beiwu felt a slight stinging pain in his divine sense, and the plaza in front of him suddenly mutated.

The twelve obsidian pillars were linked together, forming a mysterious and obscure array pattern, a high-level array diagram that only a third-tier treasure array could possess.

'This formation uses fire to melt gold, and gold to imprison fire. The interplay of metal and fire is like a millstone grinding away at the soul. The gold-burning array patterns inscribed on the twelve obsidian pillars appear unremarkable, but in reality, they can be activated at any time to unleash the power of the formation, erupting into a golden coffin cremation powerful enough to melt even a second-tier spiritual artifact.'

"Fortunately, the one who set up the formation deliberately left a flaw. If someone with high mastery of formations can find the three major formation bases, they can use a second-order water-attribute formation to break the formation, causing the formation to become unbalanced and automatically destroyed."

"If you choose the wrong base, you will die without a burial place."

Chen Beiwu's eyes gleamed slightly as he discerned the attributes, type, origin, and specific effects of this incomplete third-order formation in just two hours.

'Using the Chongming Water Formation to break the formation would be the most effective, but it would take at least a month.'

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Beiwu's eyes flickered slightly, and he decided not to break the formation, but to directly enter the main hall by exploiting the flaws in the formation's foundation.

Now, a white mouse has conveniently come to him, which can verify his hypothesis.

"call out!"

Just then, a crimson flying sword swept past with lightning speed, slicing Chen Beiwu and the golden egg in half at the waist.

The intensely hot flames burned the two corpses at a visible speed, emitting a rich, burnt aroma.

“A mere Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivator dares to enter the Heavenly Evolution True Realm.”

Looking at the horrified expressions on the faces of the man and beast before their deaths in the distance, Feng Yuan couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

Exploring secret realms is never as efficient as killing and looting.

The most valuable quality in a person is self-awareness. His cultivation level is only at the late Foundation Establishment stage, and he's not even a true disciple in the Burning Flame Sect. How could he possibly be qualified to compete with the geniuses of the five major sects for the True Monarch inheritance and the Nascent Soul Pill?

Feng Yuan's goal in entering the Heavenly Evolution True Realm has always been singular: to kill and plunder, specifically targeting the weak.

'How can they be so poor!'

Feng Yuan picked up the storage bag from the charred corpse, his eyes filled with disdain.

A mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator only had two thousand low-grade spirit stones; calling him a pauper would be an understatement.

Fortunately, the spiritual materials from a mid-Foundation Establishment stage demon beast can be sold for a lot of money, so his sale this time wasn't a loss.

After collecting all the spiritual materials, Feng Yuan glanced warily at the giant stone hall, then turned and walked in the opposite direction.

He knew that there must be many rare treasures in the main hall, or even the legacy left by the Heavenly Evolution True Monarch, but he was not tempted at all.

For him, staying alive was more important than anything else.

'good. ’

Chen Beiwu nodded slightly, watching Feng Yuan walk cautiously across the main hall square, taking one step and stopping three times.

He was just looking for a guinea pig, and a cultivator from the Burning Flame Sect came to his door to act as a pawn.

'Metal represents Yin, fire represents Yang; the life gate in this formation must be hidden in the position where Yin and Yang clash.'

"To safely exit this third-tier incomplete formation, one needs to reverse the five elements and perform the steps of the Big Dipper."

First, step onto Tianquan, cross the first obsidian pillar, then step onto Tianji, leap over Tianxuan, and survive by facing certain death, avoiding the calamity of metal and fire clashing...

Every time Chen Beiwu spoke, Feng Yuan would take a step forward as instructed, advancing through the perilous third-tier treasure array where death was always a possibility.

'Om! '

As Feng Yuan passed through twelve obsidian pillars, navigated the third-tier remnant formation, and arrived at the entrance of the giant stone hall, Chen Beiwu's gaze fell upon the golden egg.

'Give him a quick death.'

Golden Egg nodded.

The next second, Feng Yuan put down the storage ring on his finger, then looked at the gate of the giant hall with a look of horror on his face. He turned around and rushed into the third-order broken formation that he had just passed, as if he was running for his life.

Without Chen Beiwu's guidance, Feng Yuangang was engulfed in flames as soon as he rushed into the formation, turning into a pile of charred remains under the power of the third-tier incomplete formation.

A late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator died under the illusion cast by the golden egg, never escaping the mirage until his death.

'What a pity,' Chen Beiwu thought to himself.

There was a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator who was always at the front clearing mines, which allowed him to avoid many of the hidden dangers within the giant stone hall.

However, Chen Beiwu was also afraid that a portion of the True Monarch's legacy might be hidden inside the main hall.

If Feng Yuanxian were to enter the main hall and receive the inheritance first, Chen Beiwu would be in serious trouble.

Therefore, even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, Chen Beiwu will not let Feng Yuan be the first to enter the main hall.

Let's go.

Chen Beiwu followed the steps of the Big Dipper, easily passing through the array in the main hall square with the golden egg.

Using his divine sense, Chen Beiwu picked up the storage ring that Feng Yuan had put down and put it away. Then, he gently pushed open the heavy door in front of him with his right hand.

"Om."

The gate was not protected by any restrictions and could be pushed open at will.

As the gate opened, a desolate and ancient aura wafted out. Chen Beiwu's eyes flickered slightly, and he took out a second-tier spirit talisman, the Puppet Talisman, from his storage ring.
