… …
The distance was not very far, and Qin Fang arrived almost instantaneously. With the light shining, everything in front of him was clear at a glance. Qin Fang's eyes widened!
"Eh, this is a … sacrificial altar?"
Looking at the building in front of him, Qin Fang was also slightly stunned and seemed very surprised.
This was a sacrificial altar …
At least it looked like a sacrificial altar. Five upright pillars stood there, and each pillar was carved with an extremely exquisite and strange pattern, as if it was a work of art.
The pillars stood around, and in the center of the sacrificial altar was an altar about one meter high. It seemed to be enshrining something, but the altar part was sunken. From Qin Fang's angle, he could not see what was enshrined.
However, these pillars and the altar above together formed such a strange sacrificial altar.
"No, this is a formation …"
But soon Qin Fang discovered some abnormalities. This sacrificial altar was not a dead object, but had been slowly operating. Qin Fang carefully examined it and immediately understood its nature.
The sacrificial altar was indeed an altar, but it was not an ordinary sacrificial altar. It was a formation that had been continuously operating … It was just that this formation operated slowly. If one did not study it carefully and was not an expert proficient in formations, it was really difficult to discover its existence.
These pillars were also not simple pillars. They were also part of the formation, and there was a faint flow of power … It was just that this flow of power was very slow and subtle, and was not so easy to discover!
"A formation that has been continuously operating for hundreds of thousands of years?"
Qin Fang also felt very surprised, and could not help but want to touch these pillars.

However, when Qin Fang touched the edge of the sacrificial altar, a strong force immediately attacked him … Even if Qin Fang wanted to react, it was simply too late. It directly rushed into Qin Fang's mind and directly attacked the depths of his soul.
"Pu ~ ~"
This attack was very powerful. Qin Fang almost instantly spat out a mouthful of blood, and at the same time, his entire spirit became dispirited … Of course, his hand also retracted like a nervous reflex.
"What a powerful Primordial Spirit attack …"
After a long while, Qin Fang finally caught his breath. He couldn't help but mutter with some lingering fear.
The pain just now was quite brutal. It made Qin Fang feel as if his head was about to explode. He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, which hurt his spirit, primordial spirit, and soul to a certain extent.
"Eh, why does it seem a little familiar …"
However, Qin Fang suddenly froze. He vaguely felt that something was wrong. Then, he suddenly came to his senses. "Zombies … Yes!
The primordial spirit attack of the living dead! "
"This formation is for the living dead?"
The familiar aura mixed together. Qin Fang more or less understood. Looking at this strange formation and sacrificial altar, he was also a little shocked in his heart, but more than that, he understood.
Before today, Qin Fang had always thought of the living dead as a legend, until he saw a real living dead … However, what kind of existence the living dead were, and how they could survive for such a long time, Qin Fang had no idea.
However, the sacrificial altar and formation in front of him told Qin Fang the answer.
"No wonder the Kunlun Sect is known as the number one sect in a thousand years … This foundation is really impressive!"
Qin Fang also muttered with some emotion.
The Kunlun Sect was now in decline, and was even almost wiped out. However, it was once a terrifying existence … It was said that the Mount Shu Sword Sect was once dominant for a few eras, and the Satanic Sect was even more domineering. However, compared to the foundation of the Kunlun Sect, it was completely weak.
At its peak, the Kunlun Sect was synonymous with invincibility … Even the Penglai Secret Realm, which was still incomparably powerful today, was not even qualified to lick the shoes of the Kunlun Sect!
Unfortunately, following the mysterious disappearance of the Kunlun Secret Realm, and after the disaster of the Little Kunlun World, the Kunlun Sect lost the powerful supply of resources. This was why the Kunlun Sect slowly declined until today.
However, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse …
After losing the powerful resources of the Kunlun Sect, the treasures in their hands were still very frightening. To avoid causing trouble for the sect, many of the treasures were hidden away, and thus, this Kunlun Secret Treasure was created!
The living dead was a Martial Emperor level expert. Perhaps, its original body was once a Martial Emperor level ancestor of Kunlun Sect … That ancestor had sacrificed his own body to create this living dead, all for the sake of protecting the Kunlun Sect's secret treasure!
However, the living dead weren't real humans. They couldn't even be considered real life forms. Zombies could still absorb Yin energy to maintain their existence, but the living dead were strange half-dead existences. They needed a source of energy to sustain themselves.
The altar and formation in front of him were clearly the source of his power … It was just that the two of them were linked together through an extremely strange method. As long as the altar and formation continued to operate, the undead would be able to continue existing.
"Why is the living dead frozen and not moving?
Seems like it's to reduce the loss of energy … "
Qin Fang also muttered to himself.
Relatively speaking, when the living dead attacked with all his might, the altar and formation would definitely operate at high speed and at full power. "Perhaps, this is also the reason why the living dead can exist for hundreds and thousands of years …"
As long as the altar and formation continued to provide energy, the living dead would not 'die'.
"However, the altar and formation also need energy to operate. Where does this energy come from?"
Although the existence of formations did not seem to be in line with human research, in fact, the law of conservation of energy was also in line with the existence of formations … It was impossible to create something out of nothing.
At most, the formation used a strange method, a method that humans could not explain with science, to strengthen and amplify a very small amount of energy through the formation. This was why people felt that it was very unscientific.
Qin Fang did not destroy the altar and formation …
The Kunlun Secret Treasure belonged to the Kunlun Sect. Even if Qin Fang entered here and might even take away some of the treasures, he would still leave most of the treasures here. Therefore, the living dead's existence was very necessary.
With it standing guard outside the Kunlun Secret Treasure, no one would be able to touch it … Even if the Penglai Secret Realm invaded, it would be very difficult to break through the defense of the living dead!
As a formation grandmaster, although Qin Fang had not thoroughly studied the altar and formation, he knew how mysterious and powerful it was … As long as there was an endless supply of energy, the living dead would not 'die'. When there was a strong burst of energy, the living dead's strength would also rise to a very terrifying level.
In theory, if there was an endless supply of energy, the living dead could rise to the Saint level …
Of course, the Saint level was already the limit and could not rise any further … There were many reasons for this. The altar and formation could not withstand such a strong increase in strength, the living dead's body was at the Martial Emperor level, etc …
"Let's go over there and take a look …"
The discovery of the altar made Qin Fang very excited. At least it proved that the Kunlun Secret Treasure was not a cover and there really were very precious treasures inside.
Qin Fang's footsteps passed through the altar and continued to move deeper into the cave.
However, this time, he was not strolling casually. He was moving along a certain path … What kind of path?
Of course, it was the energy source of the altar and formation.
He had just briefly checked and calculated for a moment. He knew that the altar's energy source was a small spirit vein and the altar was located at a peak of this spirit vein. It was a place where the energy was concentrated and was most suitable for setting up this kind of gathering formation.
If there were peaks, there would naturally be valleys …
Compared to the gathering formation that needed to be set up at the peak of the spirit vein, the treasures were most likely placed at the valleys of the spirit vein …
At the bottom of the valley, the spiritual energy was the weakest. Using it to build a formation, especially one that was used to supply the living dead, would easily lead to a shortage of spiritual energy, or even a situation where the supply would be cut off. Naturally, it was very unsuitable.
However, if it was used to store treasures, it was completely different …
Real treasures were not like those antiques that could just be placed there. They needed to be carefully maintained and the supply of spiritual energy was more particular!
If it was placed at the bottom of the spirit vein, it seemed that the supply of spiritual energy was less, but in fact, it was not the case. At the bottom of the valley, spiritual energy was supplied from all directions except the top … If the treasures were placed in such a position, they would always be nourished by spiritual energy.
What about the peak of the spirit vein?
Apart from the treasures closest to the peak of the spirit vein, the other treasures would not receive any benefits at all … It was fine in a short period of time, but over a long period of time, the spiritual energy would naturally dissipate and the power would be insufficient.
If they wanted to recover, they might need a longer period of nourishment. In serious cases, they might be completely destroyed …
The Dwarf Race's treasure vault was in such a situation … Perhaps time was too tight at that time and the strong dwarves did not have time to carefully adjust the position of the treasures and just casually piled them up. They did not expect that the Dwarf Race would be directly destroyed. After ten thousand years of wear and tear, those treasures were all destroyed!
However, Qin Fang believed that the Kunlun Sect should not make such a mistake …
Not to mention the distant ones, just the Formation Master who set up this altar formation was a top master. If he could choose the most suitable place to set up the formation, then he must know the most suitable position to store the treasures.
Along the way, Qin Fang did not see any treasures. He had already guessed that all the treasures might be piled up together … It was not until he saw this altar that Qin Fang knew how to find the treasures.
Therefore, Qin Fang's mood at the moment was not so calm. He seemed a little excited, as if a lot of treasures were placed in front of him and he could choose from them …
