Burial Ground

Ning Qi watched as Medicine Spirit walked away before finally spotting a Mountain Gate and continuing his flight.

They soon arrived at the foot of the Mountain Gate.

Looking up at the Mountain Gate, which was still protected by a mountain-guarding Formation, he didn't show much apprehension.

With If Water Three Thousand's Formation, it is almost possible to destroy all Restriction and Formation.

This prompted Ning Qi to immediately activate the If Water Three Thousand Formation.

We arrived at the Mountain Gate without incident.

However, after he came in, he sensed that something was wrong.

With just one glance, I could see new footprints under my feet.

"Oh? Someone else got there even earlier than me?"

Ning Qi smiled and continued looking ahead.

There were only one footprint, not many.

In other words, only one person came in.

If there are many people, it will be very tricky; if it's just one person, it's much easier.

Even if he searched, he wouldn't find much.

Ning Qi had no intention of giving up on this place and going to other Mountain Gate; instead, he was curious about who this person was.

They were able to think the same way as me, and they were able to break through the Mountain-protecting Grand Array of this place so easily.

So they skipped the cave abode near the mountainside and went straight to the main hall at the summit.

The investigation using Divine Sense revealed nothing suspicious.

"Have they left?"

He didn't see anyone and assumed the person had already left.

They then landed on the plaza in front of the main hall and looked around at the hall.

Without lingering for a moment, he had already discovered that there was nothing left here after using his Divine Sense to explore the area.

We went straight to the back of the mountain.

Arriving here, he felt as if he had entered a paradise.

Everywhere you look, there are rare and exotic herbs and plants, as well as many thatched huts.

Clearly, the sect leader here back then was someone who enjoyed this kind of life.

Further ahead, there is a bamboo house built of bamboo.

Ning Qi arrived at the bamboo house with great interest.

In front of the main room, there was a memorial tablet, but it was obvious that someone had just moved it.

Some fingerprints can also be found on it.

Footprints can also be seen on the ground to mark this.

So he went to the backyard and saw footprints there as well.

Finally, they arrived at a Study.

Nothing was found here, because the Ancient Books on it had already been taken away.

Clearly, it was taken by someone who arrived before him.

Ning Qi looked around again and found a place in the suite where people could rest.

On the ground nearby, there is the entrance to a secret room.

To be precise, it is an entrance to an underground chamber.

Ning Qi probed inside with his Divine Sense but found nothing amiss.

So they just went downstairs.

They discovered that the secret room was just a spacious entrance; there was another passage further down.

However, there is an Formation here in the passage.

Moreover, this Formation had already been activated.

"Is it a Teleportation Formation?"

Where does this lead?

Ning Qi stood on the side of the Formation, not in a hurry to activate Formation.

Instead, they began to consider where this Formation led.

Direct teleportation would be quite risky.

However, the person who just left clearly used this teleportation method to leave.

No wonder I couldn't detect anyone here; they were leading me away.

Ning Qi thought for a moment, then simply stood directly on the Formation.

"Since he can teleport, what do I have to be afraid of?"

Ultimately, they also chose to teleport themselves out.

Fortune favors the bold; let's see where we'll be teleported.

Ning Qi thought to himself, "I'm already being teleported."

"Call!"

A sense of space being torn apart came over me.

Immediately afterwards, he felt a sudden dizziness.

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, everything went black, and he was suddenly teleported away.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a misty space.

The surrounding area was shrouded in mist, not the gray fog found in the Boundary Sea.

Although this fog also made people feel uncomfortable, it was clearly not the kind of gray fog that gradually eroded people like in the Boundary Sea.

Therefore, Ning Qi was not worried.

Instead, he looked around, surveying the surroundings to see where he was.

Soon, a problem was discovered.

This place looks like a burial ground.

There were bones everywhere underfoot, many of them already dried and decayed.

Just one accidental step and it's gone.

"Damn it, I thought we were going to some nice place, but it's turned out to be this godforsaken place!"

Ning Qi cursed, "We need to find a way out; we can't waste time here."

After making up his mind, he began to look for a way out of the area.

And so, they began their search in this fog-filled space.

When he arrived at a place with a jungle, he finally felt a glimmer of hope.

The fog gradually dissipated, and the general outline of the place could now be clearly seen.

It was at the foot of a mountain. Once you got there, the number of skeletons at your feet decreased, and the further you went in, the more it seemed to disappear.

"Call!"

However, after he went deeper for a while, he suddenly sensed a faint breathing sound.

The sound was coming from not far away.

It was clearly hidden in the woods.

Ning Qi pretended not to notice and continued walking inside.

"Whoosh!"

After a while, the figure finally couldn't hold back and launched a sneak attack on him.

Using the cover of the woods and the remaining mist, they successfully reached Ning Qi's back.

As long as Ning Qi doesn't move, his life will be taken away.

"Smack!"

However, just as the attack was about to land on Ning Qi...

He finally moved.

In a flash, he vanished from the spot.

"Huh? An illusion?"

The person behind him let out a soft exclamation, then withdrew their attack.

It immediately retreated and opened.

Why are you in such a hurry to leave?

Unbeknownst to her, Ning Qi had already appeared behind her at some point.

It was at this moment that Ning Qi realized that the person who attacked and ambushed him was actually a woman.

From behind, her figure is still graceful.

When she turned around in surprise, she saw a face of unparalleled beauty.

However, at this moment, she was filled with surprise.

I never expected Ning Qi to be so fast.

"Hmph, using a trick!"

The woman gave a soft snort, then vanished in a flash before his eyes.

"Can you leave?"

Ning Qi had found the first person here; how could he just let her leave without asking any questions?

He merely snorted coldly and then continued chasing after them.

That woman thought she had dumped you Ning Qi.

It landed easily deep in the woods and glanced back.

However, she didn't notice that Ning Qi had already arrived in front of her.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't find Ning Qi.

But as soon as she turned around, she saw Ning Qi smiling as he approached her.

"You... are you a human or a ghost?!"

The woman looked at Ning Qi in surprise; this time, she finally felt afraid.

He kept asking questions while backing away, looking for a chance to escape.

"You were just about to kill me, and now you're asking me if I'm a human or a ghost?"

Ning Qi smiled and looked at the woman in front of him, "If you were a man, I would have turned you into a ghost long ago!"

"I'll ask you a few questions. Answer them, and I'll let you go!"

What do you want to ask?

This time, the woman was frightened and did not continue to run away.

Instead, he stood firm and waited for Ning Qi to ask him questions.

"Where am I?"

Ning Qi asked the first question.

"Have no idea."

The woman shook her head, a serious expression on her face.

How did you get here?

Ning Qi frowned slightly, already guessing what was going on.

"It was teleported from the backyard of this bamboo house."

The woman told Ning Qi how she came to be.

"So that's how it is. You're the one who quietly broke through the Restriction here and got in before me!"

Ning Qi understood what was going on with her.

It turned out that the person who had always been one step ahead of him was the woman in front of him.

I thought you were from around here.

"So, if I want to win you over, I'm asking how to get out of here!"

The woman breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Ning Qi's words.

Whether he's good or bad outside, at least the two of them are here, so they're at least on the same side.

"I came here because I saw you teleport."

"I never expected to find such a awful place!"

Ning Qi shook his head and sighed, "I should have known better than to come."

Since we're here, let's make the best of it.

"Let's form an alliance and find Exit together!"

The woman looked at Ning Qi and then said, "Let's go outside and talk about other things!"

That's all we can do.

Ning Qi nodded, then looked around. "How's your exploration going? What kind of place is this?"

"This area is divided into two sections; the burial site is behind it."

"Ahead lies a mountain range, or more precisely, a mountain range that has been severed by human hands."

The woman pointed to the road ahead and said to Ning Qi, "I was looking for a teleportation Formation, but there isn't one!"

"It seems that quite a few people here were teleported here and will never be able to leave!"

"If that's the case, sooner or later we'll have to become one of them, just like these people."

Don't say such unlucky things!

Hearing her say that, Ning Qi shook his head and continued, "I don't think this place is as scary as we imagine."

"How about we split up?"

"I'll go check the mountains ahead, you go check the situation behind!"

"We'll travel all over this place and then come back here to meet up!"

Let's see what other new discoveries we can make!

Ning Qi looked around and said to the woman, "This way, we can avoid wasting more time together."

"Alright, but be careful, there are some Restriction and Formation here."

"I've tested it; there's nothing fishy about it, it's just a simple trap!"

The woman glanced at Ning Qi, then took out a map from her Storage Bag: "I've already divided it up, let me show you!"

"If you find any problems, you can come back and let me know!"

"Good, it's still good to have women around, they're so thoughtful!"

"If it were me, even if I went there, I wouldn't think of making a map!"

Ning Qi gave her a thumbs up and said with a smile, "Then I won't be polite, see you later!"

"Good!"

After the woman agreed, she turned back.

Ning Qi, however, chose to continue walking into the mountains and forests ahead.

Next, he opened the map of women and looked at it carefully.

They headed towards the locations where these Formation and Restriction were set up.

Upon reaching one of the Formation, he narrowed his eyes as he looked at the Formation still in operation.

What kind of place is this? The Formation set up here is truly amazing; it can still function after so long.

Ning Qi looked at the Formation before him and couldn't help but show a solemn expression.

Next, he visited almost all the Formation and Restriction that the woman had drawn.

In no time, they had circled the mountain range that had been damaged by humans.

Just as the woman said, nothing was found.

Ning Qi stood in this void, looking in the direction of the outside world.

This is the end; it's this endless void.

Take a step forward, and you'll be pushed back by an invisible barrier.

There's no way to leave this place.

Ning Qi looked at the emptiness before him, then turned to look at the mountains behind him.

Finally, they took out the map drawn by the woman.

I'm watching carefully.

Gradually, as he looked at the Formation Restriction on the map, he seemed to have figured something out.

"These Formation Restriction seem to be a unified whole, just like the If Water Three Thousand Great Array that I set up."

"A single thread can affect the whole body, and the difference is that if any one of them is triggered, the entire system will be wiped out!"

"Then they must have something in common, right?"

"What if we activate all these Formation at the same time?"

Ning Qi suddenly had a bold idea: to activate all the Formation and Restriction here at the same time.

What might happen?

Thinking this to himself, he then ran towards the place where he had just met the woman.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, they returned to the place where they had just met.

Sure enough, they found the woman from before here.

What did you discover?

When the woman saw Ning Qi return, still looking hurried, she couldn't help but ask.

"No, but I have an idea! I need your cooperation!"

Ning Qi shook his head, then walked over and said.

"Ideas? We can't break through this void."

"I think one needs at least the strength of Heavenly Immortal to even attempt to venture into this void."

The woman shook her head immediately upon hearing his words.

Clearly, she had already tried this experiment.

Otherwise, there would be no way to speculate about this illusory Restriction.

"No, that's not it. I meant this!"

Ning Qi spoke, he took out the map the woman had given him.

"This? You've made another new discovery?"

The woman looked at the map she had drawn, then shook her head. "Nothing's changed. I thought you'd discovered something."

"I've discovered it! Look closely at these Formation; they're all interconnected, one after another!"

Ning Qi nodded, then pointed to the Formation and Restriction drawn on it. "What would happen if we could activate these Formation simultaneously?"

"Don't be impulsive. I've activated several of these Formation before, and I almost got blasted to death on the spot."

"Not to mention what we can do to stimulate it!"

The woman shook her head vigorously. "Even if I die here, I don't want to die so soon!"

"You'd better give up on that idea; I will not cooperate with you."
