Flame Emperor's Tomb

Facing Yuan Ming's question, Mao Yi flicked his sleeve, and a stack of fiery red formation flags and disks appeared within the room. Intricate runes were inscribed upon the flags, radiating waves of scorching heat.

Everyone felt a heatwave crash into their faces, as though they had been transported to the mouth of a volcano.

Next, Mao Yi tossed out several Jade Slips recording information about the formation, each flying into someone's hand.

Yuan Ming released his Spiritual Sense into the Jade Slip in his hand, and a flicker of surprise passed through his eyes.

The formation Mao Yi had provided was a top-tier Fifth-level Array of the Fire Attribute. In terms of intricacy, it could rank among even the Fifth-level Arrays possessed by Su Yingxue.

However, the structure of this formation was quite strange. It did not appear to be intended for attack or defense. Many of the rune combinations within possessed a certain specificity, making it seem more like something designed expressly to break a restriction somewhere.

Yuan Ming formed a few suspicions in his heart and secretly glanced over the others.

The others present were all less accomplished in formations than Yuan Ming, so they apparently failed to notice the formation's peculiarities and merely took it for one of Mao Yi's treasured possessions.

Yuan Ming had no intention of reminding them either and swallowed the matter alone.

Over the following days, Yuan Ming and the others continuously drilled this special formation under Mao Yi's watch. Because the formation was complicated, it took them a full half month before they mastered it.

Once Mao Yi noticed this, he did not delay. He directly led everyone, along with his other subordinates, out from underground, summoned the Black Dragon Turtle, and rode it through the deep sea at high speed.
