After losing its effect, Master Daoist Yuanmu looked gloomy for a long time.
Different from Wu Ming, God Forbidding Bead was a real spiritual treasure inherited from Saint Gui Zhen and enshrined in Jiuyan Sect for tens of thousands of years.
Although there were countless outstanding cultivators in Jiuyan Sect in the past hundred thousand years, none of their inherited spiritual treasures were more powerful than God Forbidding Bead.
In the end, Master Daoist Yuanmu sighed helplessly, handed the bead back to Ling Yunhe, and said, "Fellow Daoists, this restriction is extraordinary. I can't think of a solution right now."
Guifang Demon Monarch glanced at him and said faintly, "I know very little about formations, so I'm afraid I can't help in finding a way to break it.
However, if there's anything I need help with, I'll do my best. "
Revered Wu Ming smiled and looked at Scholar Yu. "If that's the case, I can only trouble Mr. Yu."
Scholar Yu nodded with a solemn expression. "I'll try my best."
None of them was a professional array master. However, Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, especially those who had spent hundreds or even thousands of years in the late stage of the Nascent Soul Stage, were mostly proficient in miscellaneous skills. They were even more skilled than common array masters. Therefore, they didn't need to bring another array master with them.
This was especially the case for Scholar Yu. He was an erudite great scholar with profound knowledge. His understanding of the dao of formations was even deeper, so this matter was naturally left to him.
Mo Tiange felt she didn't need to show off in front of these late stage Nascent Soul cultivators, so she didn't say anything and just watched.
Scholar Yu took out his compass, formation flags, and other things and began to check around to determine Yin, Yang, and the five elements.
Any formation, even the Primordial Grand Formation, would be based on this, and there would be no exceptions.
Therefore, the first thing a formation master would do when faced with an unfamiliar great formation was to determine Yin, Yang, and the five elements.
This process would take a long time, so Mo Tiange simply took out her compass and formation-breaking items to observe Yin, Yang, and the five elements.
Seeing this, Jue Wu asked curiously, "Benefactor Mo, do you also know formations?"
Mo Tiange looked up and answered humbly, "I know a thing or two, so I don't dare to make a fool of myself."
Upon hearing their conversation, Master Daoist Iron Mask, who had been silent the whole time, inadvertently glanced at them. He looked at them seriously for a while before he said, "Little Friend Mo, you're too modest. Looking at the treasures in your hands, your attainments in formations must be quite high, right?"
Mo Tiange cast a surprised look at Master Daoist Iron Mask, but she only smiled and said, "No matter how high Junior's attainments in formations are, it's still nothing in front of Seniors. I just want to take this opportunity to learn from Senior Yu."
Enlightened Master Iron Mask nodded slightly. He did not say anything else and looked away.
With Mo Tiange's age, no matter how talented she was in formations, it would still be very difficult for her to be on par with Nascent Soul cultivators like them.
However, he was quite surprised. He didn't expect that this junior was so young and was only a step away from the Nascent Soul Realm. Yet, he was also proficient in formations. He was really a promising talent.
Unfortunately, she was obviously from a large sect or clan, so it was impossible for her to be recruited by the Jiuyan Sect.
Mo Tiange was holding her special compass, recording the Yin, Yang, and Five Elements she observed one by one into a Jade Slip. Qin Xi, on the other hand, watched with interest from the side.
He himself was quite proficient in miscellaneous studies. He was talented in pill-concocting and tool-refining, and he started studying talisman-crafting when he was in the Core Formation realm. Now, he also had a certain level of proficiency in talisman-crafting. However, he only knew a little about formations because he didn't have much interest in it and he didn't have much time to study it.
Coincidentally, the things he wasn't good at were exactly the things Mo Tiange was good at. He really didn't know whether he should say they were a match made in heaven or not.
Seeing that Mo Tiange's brows were knitting tighter and tighter, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Is it really that difficult?"
Mo Tiange was mumbling something when she heard his question. She paused for a moment then raised her eyebrows. "Look at Senior Yu, he's already like that, let alone me?"
Qin Xi looked up. Sure enough, Scholar Yu was also frowning and mumbling something silently. Both of their expressions were exactly the same.
He couldn't help but shake his head and smile. He then adjusted his breath and waited on the side.
After a while, Mo Tiange asked him again, "Right, where's your Mountain-Fixing Lantern?"
The Mountain-Fixing Lantern was one of Qin Xi's magic weapons. He obtained it from a secret place a long time ago and it had a wonderful restrictive effect.
However, since even the Soul-Restraining Bead didn't work, presumably, the Mountain-Fixing Lantern also wouldn't have any effect, right?
Although that was what he thought, Qin Xi still took out the magic weapon. "What? Is it useful?"
Mo Tiange didn't answer. She took the Mountain-Fixing Lantern and looked at it for a while then said, "It seems … this Mountain-Fixing Lantern and this restriction use the same formation!"
The two of them didn't use a Soundproof Barrier, nor did they deliberately avoid other people. Upon hearing this voice, Scholar Yu suddenly turned around and stared at them.
Mo Tiange didn't have time to pay attention to him. She once again probed with her divine comprehension, closed her eyes, and carefully explored the mysteries inside.
After a while, she heaved a sigh of relief then raised her head to look at Scholar Yu. She waved the Mountain-Fixing Lantern in her hand and said, "Senior Yu, this thing might be helpful in breaking restrictions."
Scholar Yu had long been waiting for her to say this, so he didn't stand on ceremony. He took the lantern and hurriedly nodded at the two of them to express his gratitude.
His lifespan had already reached a thousand years, and Scholar Yu had been immersed in the Dao of Formations for at least several hundred years, so his attainments in formations weren't inferior to Mo Tiange's. Now that he had the Mountain-Fixing Lantern, he hurriedly probed it with his divine sense. In just a while, his tightly furrowed brows relaxed.
The others were all paying attention to him. Upon seeing this scene, Master Daoist Yuanmu asked with concern, "Mister Yu, can this thing really help in breaking restrictions?"
Scholar Yu didn't answer. He seemed to be immersed in it. Sometimes, he looked like he was suddenly enlightened, and sometimes he looked confused.
But this didn't last too long. After a while, he once again started to record something on the Jade Slip, but this time, his speed was much faster.
One moment, he was observing the Feng Shui compass, the next moment, he was examining the Mountain-Fixing Lantern, and the next moment, he was recording something. Several hours later, Scholar Yu finally put away the Feng Shui compass. His brows relaxed and he said, "It's finally done."
The others were all delighted and looked at him.
Scholar Yu was in high spirits as he returned the Mountain-Fixing Lantern to Qin Xi. At the same time, he also smiled at Mo Tiange. "I have to thank Little Friend Mo. If you hadn't discovered this, I'm afraid we would've had to waste a lot of time to find the way."
Mo Tiange smiled. "Senior Yu is too polite."
Since they found the principle of restrictions, breaking restrictions wasn't difficult anymore. With several Nascent Soul seniors here, Mo Tiange didn't need to worry at all. She only needed to watch from the side.
"It was really a lucky hit." Fu Yao Zi snorted.
Upon hearing his unhappy tone, Mo Tiange found it funny. "Master, in fact, you deliberately didn't give them a hint and let them play around here, right?"
Fu Yao Zi said confidently, "So what?
I don't like this group of people. "
Mo Tiange couldn't help but laugh. She then said, "I originally thought Master was too rational, but now I realize Master is also a human!"
"…" Fu Yao Zi didn't say anything for a long time. It was unclear whether he was angry or didn't know what to say.
Mo Tiange didn't take it seriously and asked, "Master, isn't the passage to the Immortal Palace only open for three days?
Why do you still want to waste their time?
If we stay here for too long, won't it be disadvantageous for us? "
"There's nothing to worry about," Fu Yao Zi said.
"Even if this restriction has the ability to repair itself, it's been going on for more than a hundred thousand years, so its power has decreased a lot. It's no longer at its peak.
Besides, no matter what, they're great cultivators at the top of the world. Even if they're a bit worse than the five of us, they won't be much worse. If we could do it in the past, they should be able to do it too. "
He paused for a moment then said, "It's good that we don't have much time. When the time comes, we'll go our separate ways. They're anxious to search for treasures according to the information Grandmaster left behind, so they won't have time to care about what we're doing."
"Oh, I see."
Mo Tiange understood now. The others naturally had their own secrets. If they could safely go their separate ways to search for treasures, they wouldn't have time to cause trouble for them.
In terms of searching for treasures, she had Fu Yao Zi, so she had an advantage. If nothing unexpected happened, she would be one step faster than them.
As they spoke, they'd already broken the restriction. This time, no one asked Mo Tiange to walk in front, so she just followed behind them with Qin Xi.
The mountain road was narrow on both sides, only allowing two people to pass side by side. Yu Shusheng carefully observed then said, "There aren't any other restrictions." Only then did the others set foot on the mountain road.
They moved forward slowly and cautiously.
When they reached the end, they saw a formation.
This formation was different from the previous one; it was merely a Transporting Formation. With Yu Shusheng's attainments in formations, he quickly figured out the missing parts and put spirit stones in the corresponding positions to repair it.
When the Transporting Formation lit up, they looked at each other, but no one said anything.
Who would go in first in the end?
This problem was really hard to solve.
First, they didn't know if there would be any danger if they just went in like this. Second, this was the Scripture Pavilion, a place that specialized in collecting cultivation techniques. Who knew if the people who went in would get something first?
"Amitabha!"
The first to speak was Revered Wu Ming. He smiled and said, "Since Fellow Daoists can't decide for a while, let this old monk go in first."
Master Daoist Yuanmu only hesitated for a moment before retreating. "I have no objections."
After pondering for a moment, Yu Shusheng also nodded.
Since the two of them retreated, Guifang Devil Monarch could only step aside. "Fellow Daoist Wu Ming, please." He looked reluctant.
The Devil Path and Buddhism had old grievances in the Sea of Returning Ruins, not to mention the two of them even fought.
Qin Xi and Mo Tiange didn't step forward, tacitly giving up.
Revered Wu Ming put his palms together and stepped into the Transporting Formation with awareness. He put down the spirit stones to activate the Transporting Formation and disappeared in front of everyone.
After Revered Wu Ming entered, Master Daoist Yuanmu no longer had any scruples and snatched the second place.
His Jiuyan Sect was the strongest, so the others couldn't compete with him and could only give way.
Then it was Yu Shusheng who led Han Shizhi. Guifang Devil Monarch seemed unwilling to clash with the others and was willing to give way.
In the end, there were only four people left outside. Guifang Devil Monarch asked, "Fellow Daoist Qin, you don't mind if we, master and disciple, go first, right?"
Qin Xi smiled and shook his head.
In terms of cultivation level, he ranked last among these Nascent Soul cultivators, so he should be a bit more "humble."
When everyone else's figures disappeared, Fu Yaozi's voice rang out again. "You don't have identity tablets. After you go in, there'll be a small killing formation — don't use magic weapons, use talismans!"
