This lake was rather strange. It only attacked the Spiritual Awareness and living beings that touched the lake's surface. It only obstructed the Spiritual Awareness in the sky above the lake, not attacking it.
Otherwise, with the intensity of the killing intent just now, Yi Yan's mental strength would have suffered a heavy blow.
/p p This made Yi Yan nervous and excited.
The most nervous thing was that the killing intent made Yi Yan feel a sense of danger, an extreme danger that was enough to threaten his life.
The reason for his excitement was that the more dangerous this place was, the greater the secrets hidden inside would be, and the more likely he would be able to find out the secrets, because the formation in front of him was obviously not something that the people from Earth's Cultivation Realm could lay.
As long as he went there, it would not be hard for him to deduce the reason behind the disappearance of the Cultivation Realm from the clues left behind by the cultivators.
Carefully moving forward, Yi Yan walked step by step to the lakeside.
Lowering his head to look at his reflection on the lake's surface, Yi Yan finally realized something strange: There was no life in this huge lake, no fish, shrimp, or aquatic plants.
Compared to the surroundings of the lake, it was obviously abnormal.
Taking a deep breath, Yi Yan slowly released a wisp of his consciousness and probed into the lake.
Suddenly, a stabbing pain came. Yi Yan Qiang endured the pain that came from the depths of his soul and controlled his consciousness to slowly move forward, carefully feeling the source of the attack.
Gradually, the pain became sharper and sharper. Yi Yan's face was covered in sweat, but he was still holding on.
Suddenly, Yi Yan withdrew his consciousness and a relaxed smile appeared on his pale face.
It's on the right side of the lake, near the other side!
Having found the source of the killing intent, Yi Yan didn't hesitate and immediately sat down cross-legged to recover his damaged Spiritual Sense.
When he opened his eyes again, all his fatigue was gone. At this moment, Yi Yan had completely recovered.
From the killing intent he emitted, he could tell how dangerous the target's location was. Of course, Yi Yan wouldn't rush forward just because he was big enough. That wasn't bravery, it was foolishness.
After stretching his muscles and bones, a series of crackling sounds of bone cracking sounded. Not only did the martial arts practice bring Yi Yan new ideas for cultivation, it also gave him a significant improvement in his physical body.
Yi Yan nodded in satisfaction after sensing his condition. If he was at his peak state, even if he couldn't get out of this predicament, he would at least be able to escape with his life intact.
Since he didn't want to delay any longer, Yi Yan released his battle knife and leaped towards the direction that his Spiritual Sense could sense.
Not long later, Yi Yan arrived above the water. He looked down and saw that the lake was no different from any other place.
It moved slowly, it was lifeless.
However, Yi Yan believed in the feeling of his Spiritual Sense. His eyes stared at the bottom of the lake as he searched inch by inch.
Finally, Yi Yan's gaze fixed onto a corner close to the mountain wall. His eyes were brimming with unconcealable excitement. It was there!
In the corner that Yi Yan was staring at, the lake water didn't flow like it did in other places, it didn't seem to move at all. Yi Yan carefully probed out a wisp of his consciousness, enduring a pain that was a hundred times stronger than before, and quickly reached that corner.
/p p Sure enough!
When his spiritual consciousness reached the corner, it met with great resistance, and Yi Yan could clearly feel the waves of obscure energy fluctuations.
At this point, Yi Yan had confirmed that this was a very smart stealth array.
After dozens of crazy attacks from Yi Yan, the invisible formation in the corner of the lake was no longer able to dissipate the tremendous superimposed force.
Yi Yan pulled out his battle blade, and under the crazy infusion of both gold and silver energy, it began to shine with a dazzling light.
When the blade could no longer contain any energy, Yi Yan suddenly swung the blade and charged out.
Although Yi Yan could release the saber, the attack power would be much less. The formation before him was so brilliant that with Yi Yan's current strength, he had no choice but to go all out.
/p p "Peng!"
With a loud bang, Yi Yan's whole body shook violently. The powerful rebound sent him flying. He didn't stop until he hit the mountain wall more than half a mile away.
The invisibility array that was attacked by Yi Yan also violently fluctuated, bursting out with a layer of golden light. On the golden light screen, numerous seal symbols were rapidly circulating in a miraculous way, dispersing Yi Yan's attack force.
The lake water that quietly surrounded the array was pushed away by a tremendous force and then mysteriously stopped there, as if it was separated by a giant piece of glass. A strange space without any lake was created around the array.
He looked at the array in shock as it gradually returned to its original state. In his eyes, there was a trace of undisguised astonishment: Although he was only at the early stage of the Aurous Core stage, the power of the Yin Yang energy was much stronger than the real Elemental Energy, plus Yi Yan's mental state was much higher than his cultivation, as well as the experience from his previous life and the in-depth study of martial arts, the power of that attack was not one bit weaker than the full force attack of the early stage of the Nascent Infant.
However, this kind of attack could only cause the formation in front of him to tremble, and it was impossible to break through it. He could not help but be shocked.
It had to be known that this was only an invisibility array, not a defensive array!
Gritting his teeth, a vicious look flashed across Yi Yan's eyes. His tenacious character surfaced and he once again urged his primeval essence to attack before the array was completely stable.
Due to his previous experience, this time Yi Yan only retreated a hundred meters before regaining his balance. After a short pause, Yi Yan once again jumped up and slashed again without stopping at the same spot on the light cover.
After dozens of crazy attacks from Yi Yan, the invisibility array in the corner of the lake was no longer able to dissipate the tremendous superimposed force.
A cracking sound was heard.
At this moment, Yi Yan was planning to charge forward again. Seeing that the formation had been broken, he was immediately overjoyed.
Yi Yan didn't have time to check what was hidden in the formation, so he quickly set up a restriction to stop the lake from flowing back.
It took a lot of effort to reach his goal. If the thing inside was destroyed by the water current at the last moment, Yi Yan would die of depression.
Although the things that were hidden in the formation definitely belonged to Cultivation Realm and the possibility of them being destroyed by the mortal water was so small that it could be disregarded, there was nothing wrong with being careful.
At this moment, Yi Yan finally had time to turn around and look at the corner where the invisibility spell used to be.
What entered Yi Yan's eyes was a very strange scene: a corpse was sitting solemnly on the ground. Judging from the red and gold-edged cassock on its body, it should be a monk, and his position was definitely not low!
The vajra scepter shined brightly in the corpse's right hand, instantly attracting Yi Yan's gaze. After carefully examining it, he could not help but suck in a breath of cold air: Middle tier Buddhist items (middle tier: Immortal Artifact s, the difference between Buddhist items and Immortal Artifact's energy)!
Yi Yan's previous life could be considered relatively wealthy among cultivators, but the master and disciple duo only had three low-grade Immortal Artifact. Other than the Storage Ring, the other two were all in his hands due to Daoist Master Hao having to undergo the eighth Rogue Immortal Calamity, and Yi Yan himself was only using the Top-grade Spiritual Artifact.
In the entire Cultivation Realm, other than the few town Immortal Artifact s from the legendary big sects, no one else had heard of anyone else possessing a middle ranked Immortal Artifact.
Now that he suddenly saw this Earth whose Cultivation Realm had declined, Yi Yan's heart couldn't help but begin to beat fiercely. He knew that this cultivator in front of him must be the ancestor of Earth's Ancient Cultivation Realm, and he had come to the right place!
Yi Yan tried his best to retract his gaze. Although his mental state was still incomparable to his previous life's Mahayana Period, his mind was incomparably firm. He quickly recovered from the shock.
He turned his gaze to the corpse's left hand, where he was holding an unremarkable pearl. The gray pearl was about the size of a pigeon's egg, and there seemed to be a dense stream of air circulating within it.
Not to mention knowing it, Yi Yan couldn't even see its rank. But since it was valued so highly before it died, it must be extremely valuable.
However, what made Yi Yan most surprised was a golden Jade Chip laid on the ground in front of the corpse.
In Cultivation Realm, information recorded usually used white Jade Chip. Only extremely important things like cultivation techniques would use this kind of large and sturdy golden Jade Chip record.
From this point of view, the item recorded in the Jade Chip must be incomparably precious to this Buddhist cultivator.
What confused Yi Yan the most was that such a precious item wasn't placed in the Storage Ring on his left hand, but was taken out and placed on the ground?
Yi Yan's intuition told him that this piece of Jade Chip was left specially by this cultivator for his descendant.
After confirming that there was no danger around, Yi Yan finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and reached out to take the Golden Jade Chip.
After hesitating for a bit, Yi Yan carefully probed the Jade Chip. The information was the reason he came here, there was no reason for him to retreat in the face of danger.
/p p Bam
With a 'bang', the Jade Chip was smashed into smithereens!
While Yi Yan was still stunned, the Jade Chip fragments that flew into the sky slowly formed into a golden screen. A person appeared on the screen, it was the one who was found by Yi Yan!
"Junior, for you to be able to see this image shows that you have passed all the previous tests. Although it is just some insignificant tricks, it is not something that a great wisdom, great willpower, and great destiny cannot break." "To be able to make it this far, you must have some fate with me. You must have some doubts in your heart, so I'll tell you the reason why I came here."
At the beginning, his voice sounded gratified, but by the end, it was filled with desolation and helplessness.
Yi Yan clenched his fists tightly and listened carefully to every word the video said. He was afraid that he would miss something important when he was distracted.
As the scenes and characters on the screen changed, the mystery in Yi Yan's heart was explained one by one.
Tens of millions of years ago, at the bottom of the ocean, tens of thousands of miles away from the Divine State, a strange, beaded magical equipment suddenly broke out of the water.
