The sorting over at Outpost has not yet been completed, and new exploration in Deep Layer has been connected.
The last reorganization cleared away a number of remaining restrictions buried in the corridors and side walls. Golden Core Formation Zone has more places to move around, so it is naturally impossible for the Yuanyang Sect to stop.
Especially after the two volumes of Golden Core Formation Notes were handed in, there were records about the need for Golden Core Formation Platform to be activated in conjunction with Array, which quickly drew everyone's attention further to the core.
This time, Li Yuan is still on the list.
When he entered Deep Layer again, there were more perimeter guards than in the previous days. Several temporary Array Pattern were also added on both sides of Vein Protection Corridor leading to Golden Core Formation Zone. Apparently, he was afraid that frequent manpower coming in and out would disrupt the newly straightened old structure again.
Li Yuan walked all the way in, and after arriving at the area that had been explored several times before, he habitually scanned the surrounding spiritual energy direction.
Several new lines of Stabilization Pattern under the ground have been settled, and the old aftermath that used to jump around the outer ring has been suppressed a lot. But deeper, the circle of restrictions around the core of Golden Core Formation Platform is still there and has not been really opened.
What was cleared first today was not the main entrance, but several small stone chambers around the core that had not been completely opened before.
These stone chambers are scattered and not large in area. Some are half-buried in the stone wall, and some are close to the edge of the outer ring. They look like they were used by the monks of the old sect to store daily objects or records. Because of the time and manpower in the front, most of them were just scanned briefly, and they were put down after confirming that there was no obvious danger. Now it is the turn to clean them carefully.
After the stone chamber was cleared, the core exploration was officially pushed forward.
What really stands in the way is the complete ban on the circle outside Golden Core Formation Platform.
Everyone has previously determined that the core of Golden Core Formation Platform is not a simple open space, but is surrounded by a fairly complete layer of old restrictions.
The forbidden body is not completely necrotic, and even retains a considerable part of its original structure.
The problem is that this layer of restrictions is obviously not something that can be removed casually.
A Yuanyang Sect Array monk in charge of the inspection first stepped forward to look at it, then stepped back and spoke quickly.
"There is a special access node in the ban, it should be Token."
Another person next to me asked, "Can it be broken directly without Token?"
That Array monk shook his head.
"It can be broken forcefully, but it cannot damage the main body of the restriction. It is connected with the Golden Core Formation Platform itself. If the attack is too harsh, although the Outer Restriction can be opened, the structure inside may also be damaged."
As soon as he said this, the faces of the people next to him became darker.
If it's just an ordinary treasury-protecting ban, it's broken if it's broken.
But now there is Golden Core Formation Platform inside, and Golden Core Formation Notes has already stated that this thing needs to be activated in conjunction with Array. If the main body is really damaged, even if it is driven in, it may not still be usable.
So this time, Yuanyang Sect could only use the most laborious and stable method.
Follow the structure of the prohibition itself and dismantle it.
Li Yuan was also called over.
When he stood outside the layer of restrictions, Formation Link Sense and Second-Order Array Dao Entry Level's eyesight pressed up at the same time. The layer of restrictions in front of him was indeed not a single-layer shell, but a three-layer structure interlocked with each other.
No wonder the people in front didn't dare to move.
It's not that this thing cannot be broken, but it must be dismantled piece by piece, layer by layer. If there is a slight deviation, it will not be impossible to open, but the inside will be damaged together.
The number of layers and the overlapping relationship of this layer of prohibition are more complicated than those encountered before. The role of Formation Link Sense is very obvious here. Li Yuan no longer just sees which grain is bright, but can also see which layer and which layer first. They are interlocking with each other. For example, somewhere on the outermost layer seems to be just an ordinary Spirit-Repelling Pattern, but in fact there is a section of Identification Circuit underneath. If you directly cut off the most superficial section, the inner layer recognition structure will immediately turn to the side.
During the process of breaking the formation, Formation Link Sense also completed its permanent formation.
On the third day, after the outer layer and the Middle Layer restrictions were finally peeled off, part of the records and guidance textures on the outside of Golden Core Formation Platform were also exposed. Those were not complete stone carvings, but more like some old records and structural descriptions left on the edges of Golden Core Formation Zone.
One paragraph is written very clearly.
There are two Golden Core Formation routes.
Orthodox Golden Core Formation Path, Heterodox Life-Nurturing Path.
When everyone saw this, even the few monks who were originally responsible for looking after the surrounding area gathered around.
The so-called Orthodox Golden Core Formation Path, the record is very orthodox. The monks used their own Cultivation Method, spiritual power, soul and Golden Core Formation Platform Auxiliary Array to form it with the help of the spiritual energy pressure pill of the main vein. They followed the path of solid cultivation and complete legal system.
But Heterodox Life-Nurturing Path is obviously different.
Li Yuan followed everyone and looked down. The more he looked, the deeper his eyebrows became.
The focus of this path is not to make the golden elixir more correct, but to nourish life. Many of the materials and techniques mentioned in it are not used to improve the foundation of the golden elixir, but to prolong life, extend vitality, and protect life. In some places, it is even stated clearly that if a monk has a short lifespan, insufficient foundation, and insists on entering the elixir, he can resort to sideways ways of nourishing his life, using Blood Qi, medicinal power, and foreign objects to forcibly hang his life.
Continuing to scroll back, there are even Pill Formula ideas that have the same origin as Longevity Pill in a few pages of old records.
The names are not exactly the same.
However, several of the main medicines, several refining methods and directions of action are obviously from the same lineage as the Longevity Pill medicines that Li Yuan has come into contact with before. Especially the way that mixes Qi and Blood, Shouyuan and side auxiliary medicines to force people to delay their life span, they can no longer be said to be similar, but from the same source.
This discovery was not just seen by Li Yuan.
Almost everyone present turned the page.
A Array monk next to him was stunned for a moment, and then cursed in a low voice.
"No wonder."
The other person also reacted.
"So those Longevity Pills from the Demon Sect were not created out of thin air by themselves, but were side results flowing out from this place?"
No one answered immediately, but the records in front of me made the matter very clear.
The Longevity Pill medicine that the Demon Sect now uses to win over the monks who are about to die is not an alien thing, nor is it something that some Demon Sect suddenly created. The root is probably in this Ruins's previous Heterodox Life-Nurturing Path of the sect to which Ruins belongs.
In other words, Dark Abyss Society and Demon Sect behind them are staring at this place. They are not just here because of the spiritual veins and Golden Core Formation Platform. They probably also have plans for this off-beat way to extend life.
Li Yuan stood in the crowd, saying nothing, and just continued to read those old records.
In the next two days, the dismantling of the core restrictions continued, but it was not done all the time. It was still necessary to take a break.
After returning to Fangshi, Li Yuan saw Chen Yi handing over a Jade Slip without saying much.
"I found it in the stone chamber. This thing is suitable for you to hold."
After Li Yuan took it, Panel popped up.
[Equipable item detected: Golden Core Formation Guidance Jade Slip (complete)]
[Equipment Affix preview: Golden Core Formation Guidance (blue)]
[Effect: The efficiency of spiritual power concentration is increased by 50%, reducing the risk of Golden Core Formation failure]
[Preview of permanent conditions: Try to condense the golden elixir once]
[The current Equipment Slot is full (5/5), do you want to replace the current equipment?]
After reading Li Yuan, I did not replace it on the spot. I just put Jade Slip into the storage bag first.
It's not time to move it immediately.
