Above the campsite, golden, cyan, and red light flared intensely, crashing towards the barrier.

While Lin Langtian and his two companions attacked together, Lin Dong did not stand by idly. He also activated the Devouring Spirit Talisman, stealthily attaching it to the barrier.

"Boom!"

The next moment, three streams of light fiercely collided with the barrier, erupting with powerful energy fluctuations.

Immediately after, those below saw ripples appearing on the sealing barrier, spreading outwards towards the edges of the light shield.

As these ripples propagated, the energy striking the seal seemed to be gradually diffused.

But just then, at the spot where the three had attacked, a circle of strange black runes appeared, attaching themselves to the light shield.

"Buzz buzz!!"

Special fluctuations emanated from the black runes.

Soon, everyone saw that the area covered by the black runes seemed to have been corroded by something, quickly revealing an empty space.

As this small gap opened, the entire sealing barrier instantly developed a breach, and the energy fluctuations around the light shield significantly weakened.

However, this was no longer Lin Dong's concern. The moment the gap appeared, Lin Dong had already signaled Xiao Yan, and they flew towards the gap, which was only about three feet wide.

Although the gap looked too narrow to pass through, Xiao Yan did not hesitate in the slightest and flapped his wings towards it.

As Xiao Yan drew closer, Lin Dong once again activated the Devouring Spirit Talisman, swallowing a larger opening in the sealing barrier. By the time Xiao Yan reached the barrier, the gap was already large enough for him to pass through.

"Whoosh!"

Seeing Lin Dong dive headfirst behind the sealing barrier, Lin Langtian and Wang Yan were not to be outdone and quickly flew in after him.

Qin Shi, however, glanced down at the massive Fengluan bird with a wingspan of twenty to thirty feet, sighed lightly, and while urging the Fengluan bird to fly, he also struck out, completely shattering the light shield.

As the four of them surged inside, countless adventurers in the campsite also rushed towards the now-opened Ancient Tomb Mansion.

Instantly, this Ancient Tomb Mansion, which had been silent for countless years, welcomed a large wave of visitors.

While countless people stormed into the Ancient Tomb Mansion and began plundering resources, Cang Wu and Ling Qingzhu bypassed all the palaces and arrived before the final hall.

Gazing at the sea of fire before them, Ling Qingzhu's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if she were contemplating how to break the grand formation.

After all, Cang Wu had done all the work to get here. Ling Qingzhu, with her proud nature, could not possibly accept favors and then compete with Cang Wu for the spoils.

"Junior Sister, have you thought of a way to break this sea of fire formation?"

Cang Wu saw her expression and couldn't help but chuckle softly, his tone carrying a hint of urgency.

Hearing this, Ling Qingzhu's brows furrowed even tighter. However, she was not a Talisman Master and was not adept at formations. If she didn't force her way through, simply contemplating a solution would be quite difficult for her.

After a moment of thought, Ling Qingzhu grew anxious and directly activated the green lotus beneath her feet, entering the sea of fire formation.

Clearly, Ling Qingzhu intended to enter the formation, activate it, and then find a way to break it from within.

For someone not skilled in formations, this was indeed a good method to break an uncontrolled formation, provided they could withstand the formation's attacks.

Cang Wu said nothing more and did not stop Ling Qingzhu, merely standing aside and watching her attempt to break the formation.

As soon as she entered the formation, the entire vast sea of fire formation was instantly activated. The endless flames around surged, transforming into waves of fire that attacked the green lotus.

Ling Qingzhu's expression was calm. With a wave of her hand, a stream of Primal Energy shattered the fire waves. Simultaneously, she observed the execution patterns of the sea of fire formation, trying to find its weak points.

This was precisely Ling Qingzhu's purpose in entering the formation. For someone like her, who didn't understand formations, facing an unactivated formation from the outside rendered it impossible to discern its operational methods.

However, by entering the formation's interior, she could perceive the trajectory of the formation's energy flow through its attacks, thereby judging its execution and subsequently finding its weak points.

"Boom! Boom!"

The fire waves came one after another, leaving Ling Qingzhu somewhat overwhelmed.

In fact, Ling Qingzhu could have forcefully broken the formation with sheer power. By bombarding the formation directly, she could naturally expose its weak points and break it.

But Ling Qingzhu seemed to have a knot of determination in her heart, as if wanting to prove herself. She had been diligently defending and seeking a way to break the formation.

"Junior Sister, sometimes eyes can deceive you. You must use your heart. The path is not before your eyes, but within your heart!"

Cang Wu saw this and couldn't help but shake his head slightly, speaking softly.

Ling Qingzhu suddenly froze upon hearing this and turned to look at Cang Wu dazedly.

Just then, another wave of fire attacked. Ling Qingzhu reacted and suddenly sensed something.

The next moment, a strange fluctuation was faintly emitted from within Ling Qingzhu.

Immediately, she waved her hand, and a stream of Primal Energy did not attack the incoming fire wave but instead struck towards a certain spot to the side.

"Boom!"

As the Primal Energy erupted, the fire wave strangely dissipated, and the entire formation fell silent.

Ling Qingzhu looked at the formation, which had been so easily broken by her, her lips slightly parted, a look of surprise on her face. Fortunately, her face was covered by a veil, so it was not seen.

Cang Wu, standing beside her, also had an astonished expression, but not because of the formation itself, but because of Ling Qingzhu.

If Cang Wu hadn't sensed incorrectly just now, that fluctuation should have been the Supreme Induction Art, which he himself had never truly grasped after all these years!

Yet, Ling Qingzhu, with just a casual piece of advice from him, had managed to touch upon its entry level.

Although it wasn't true mastery yet, it was only a matter of time.

With that thought, Cang Wu looked at Ling Qingzhu with complex eyes and sighed softly.

"Junior Sister truly has extraordinary talent, far surpassing my own!"

Cang Wu's words also jolted Ling Qingzhu awake.

After coming to her senses, Ling Qingzhu couldn't help but turn to look at Cang Wu, her gaze becoming a little strange. After steadying her mind, she finally spoke softly.

"Young Master is too kind. Without your guidance, Qingzhu would not have been able to break this grand formation."

Cang Wu merely smiled faintly at this and then spoke.

"Since the grand formation has been broken, let us enter first."

Ling Qingzhu nodded slightly and then, urging her green lotus forward, entered the main hall.

However, before entering the hall, she casually waved her hand, reactivating the sea of fire formation once more.
