Originally, the first thing he was supposed to do after breaking through to the Marrow Cleansing Stage was to deduce the second level of the Ten Absolutes Scripture Ten Absolutes Scripture, but now it seems that he has to put that matter on hold for the time being.

You can just drink the Spirit Spring while cultivating; the cultivation speed won't be slow, and it won't matter if you don't have Cultivation Method for a short time.

Having made this decision, he immediately filled several large buckets with Spirit Spring, then sealed the cave entrance to prevent the abundant spiritual energy inside from overflowing. After a thorough inspection, he left.

The most urgent task is to research the Microscopic School Formation as quickly as possible, completely occupy the location of this Spirit Spring, and then move. Nothing else is more urgent than this.

However, just as he was thinking this, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have something to do first, and this matter took precedence over creating his own formation.

But he couldn't remember it for a moment. Long Xuan frowned and thought hard. Finally, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he realized what he had forgotten.

He had forgotten about the ancient tomb. He finally remembered that when he came out of the tomb, he was afraid that the Lineage would find out about the rabbit, so he simply stuffed it into the Insect-Rearing Pouch and left it in a hidden corner of the tomb, planning to go back and retrieve it as soon as everyone left.

If given the chance, he planned to pluck that Demon Flower as well, since he seemed to have the ability to see through the Illusion Technique Demon Flower Demon Flower and might be able to win it over.

But as soon as he returned, he was busy with the Spirit-Impact Pill Recipe and was in a hurry to break through, so he completely forgot about this matter.

That rabbit hasn't eaten or drunk anything for almost two months now. Could it have starved to death? What a terrible thing to do!

Thinking of the rabbit, Long Xuan was extremely anxious, truly afraid that it would starve to death and his treasure would be wasted. So he didn't waste any more time and immediately packed his things and set off.

Since he wasn't flying there on the Long Family's top-grade Dragon Boat this time, it was absolutely impossible for him to arrive within half a day.

He rode at breakneck speed, Starstep at breakneck speed, and it still took him ten days to reach the ancient tomb.

It was already night, the time when the risk of danger to the Luminous Jade Ancient Tomb was at its lowest.

Upon arriving at the destination, Long Xuan was startled by the scene before him.

At this moment, it was clear that a fierce battle had taken place here. The ground was ravaged beyond recognition, the trees and grass were scorched, and the bloodstains on the ground were still dry, which was enough to show how terrible the battlefield was and how many people had died.

There were no bodies on the ground, so they must have already been carried away.

Long Xuan was curious about the outcome of that battle; whether Feng Yu had actually died.

After returning, he was busy with his breakthrough and didn't pay attention to this matter. He didn't know the outcome of the battle, whether all the Spirit-Ascending Grass were destroyed in the battle or fell into the hands of a certain Lineage.

All he knew was that after the Long Family obtained the hundred or so Spirit-Ascending Grass brought out from the ancient tomb, the Lineage gained dozens more Marrow Cleansing Stage experts.

At that time, the whole Lineage celebrated together, feasting and drinking for three days, it was very lively, how could he not know about this?

As a result, the Long Family's strength increased dramatically, and the number of their experts grew rapidly.

Long Xuan was happy to see this situation. He was currently on the same boat as the Long Family, sharing both prosperity and adversity. The stronger the Long Family was, the safer he would be. He couldn't be happier for the Lineage to become stronger.

Perhaps it was the growing power of the Long Family that made some people envious, and some even organized tomb raiding again. Or perhaps they wanted to trade a large amount of Spirit-Ascending Grass with that rabbit, so they entered the tomb once more.

However, they were destined to be disappointed. The rabbits had already been stuffed into the Insect-Rearing Pouch by Long Xuan, and there were no rabbits left in the Medicine Garden.

Moreover, they didn't even have a chance to get close to the Medicine Garden at this time, because the Dream Butterfly Gu that guarded the Medicine Garden had already escaped from the Medicine Garden and its activity range was no longer limited to the Medicine Garden.

At this point, the danger level of the ancient tomb increased dramatically. Apart from Long Xuan, anyone who went in would die. It is estimated that the group that went in suffered a great loss and had to retreat after losing a large number of people.

Since the most valuable items in the ancient tomb have been taken away by the resurrected empress, and there is no possibility of obtaining the Spirit-Ascending Grass again, the place now has no value except for its danger, and has been completely abandoned by all races.

The entrance to the tomb is no longer guarded by any powerful clans' Gu cultivators, meaning anyone can now enter to search for treasure, at any time.

But the others weren't fools either. If even the major clans dared not enter a place, how could those weaker minor clans' Gu cultivators and Rogue Cultivator dare to go in again?

Besides, there's nothing left in the tomb except for the danger; anyone who goes in to rob an empty tomb would be a fool.

This is also why Long Xuan hasn't seen a single tomb keeper or tomb raider here.

However, this is also a good thing, as it makes it easier for him to do things.

The entrance to the tomb that had been blocked by Long Bao had already been dug open again, and Long Xuan didn't hesitate, so he flew straight in.

At this time, the ancient tomb was filled with the incurable Dream Butterfly Gu, and anyone who went in faced a near-certain death.

But Long Xuan was the only exception; he could see the location of the Dream Butterfly Gu, and the Dream Butterfly Gu's speed was far inferior to his.

The Dream Butterfly Gu here poses no threat to him, so what is a place of near-death experience for others is like strolling through his own backyard to him.

After he went inside, he avoided the locations of all the Dream Butterfly Gu and easily found the Insect-Rearing Pouch containing the rabbit.

He hurriedly opened the Insect-Rearing Pouch, pulled out the rabbit inside, and found its four little legs flapping wildly in the air, making cooing noises. It seemed to be still alive, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

So they put it back in and threw in a handful of carrots so it would have something to eat and not starve on the way home.

The rabbit was still alive, which relieved him of a worry. He hung the Insect-Rearing Pouch on his waist, let out a heavy sigh, and then walked towards the sleeping quarters.

Upon arriving at the entrance to the sleeping quarters, although he had a way to break the Illusion Technique the Demon Flower, out of caution, he still did not personally step forward to risk his life. Instead, he skillfully sent out his clone, Flame Clone, to pick the Demon Flower.

He was only affected by the illusion from a distance after seeing the Demon Flower, while others, lacking the ability to see far, were not affected by the Illusion Technique at that distance.

Therefore, he could basically conclude that one would only be affected by the Illusion Technique if they saw the Demon Flower, and would not be Illusion Technique if they did not see the Demon Flower.

So he had his Flame Clone blindfolded with a black cloth, while he himself guided its actions using telepathic communication.

The plan went surprisingly smoothly. Following this method, the Flame Clone was indeed not affected by any Illusion Technique. He pushed open the crystal coffin and easily pulled out the Demon Flower.

Long Xuan was overjoyed and immediately ordered his Flame Clone to seal the Demon Flower in a box.

After eliminating the danger posed by the Demon Flower, Long Xuan dared to enter the bedchamber.

Upon seeing the Storage Bag hanging from the waists of the corpses scattered on the ground, he followed suit and collected all the Storage Bag on the ground.

The Storage Bag couldn't hold all the other Storage Bag Storage Bag, and suddenly his waist was covered with them, making him look quite bulky.

The Storage Bag left behind by the two Gu King who perished together during their first tomb raiding operation made him beam with joy. He was truly rich now.

It's obvious what's in the Gu King's Storage Bag— it must be incredibly valuable.

However, he didn't have time to check what was in the Gu King's Storage Bag. After sweeping around the palace, he finally acted like Little Apothecary and picked up the crystal coffin where the Empress lived and took it away.

He scanned the area again to see if there was anything else he could take. He quickly took the ever-burning lamp and the Golden Crow statue hanging on the wall, and finally also took the complete mural recording the Sun-Moon Heart Sutra. Only then did he leave the ancient tomb satisfied.

By this point, the bedchamber had been completely ransacked, utterly destroyed, and a complete mess.

After his frenzied looting, there was really nothing of value left in the tomb except for the Spirit-Ascending Grass.

He ultimately didn't go back to the Medicine Garden to plunder the Spirit-Ascending Grass. They were useless to him now, and handing them over to the Lineage for contribution points wasn't appropriate, because he simply couldn't explain how he could see the Dream Butterfly Gu...

He spent another ten days returning to his Medicine Garden in Great Stone Village.

He had already broken through to the Marrow Cleansing Stage and was confident that he could use the speed of Starstep to outrun the Gu cultivators in the Spiritual Sea Stage. Therefore, he was no longer so afraid of Feng Yu and could return to the Medicine Garden with peace of mind.

Back in his Medicine Garden, he pulled the rabbit, whose little legs were flailing about, out of the Insect-Rearing Pouch and threw it into his Medicine Garden.

The rabbit leaped into the ground and vanished instantly.

Long Xuan wasn't afraid of it escaping anymore. At this moment, its Ginseng body was still in his hands, and he had its life in his grasp. Where could it run to?

It can outrun a rabbit, but it can't outrun Ginseng; it can't possibly abandon its own body entirely.

Long Xuan smiled and ignored the rabbit. He sat back down in the familiar pavilion and began working on the Formation Diagram.

This was the first time he had ever created Formation Diagram, and it filled him with a sense of novelty. As a result, he was full of enthusiasm and prepared to create a Peerless Vicious Formation was so powerful that even Di Xin could not break it.

The fact that this Ice Formation couldn't stop Di Xin's abilities made him feel really insecure.

He took a sip of his iced honey water and began to brainstorm ideas about formations.

He has quite a few creative ideas about formations; there are too many works from his previous life that he can draw inspiration from.

Formations are categorized into Binding Formation, Killing Formation, Illusion Formation, bewildering formations, chain formations, defensive formations, and auxiliary formations...

Because the area of Formation Base is limited, most arrays are simply Killing Formation Killing Formation or Illusion Formation Illusion Formation, and it is difficult to cover other functions. Even if other functions are covered, there will be a distinction between primary and secondary functions, and it is impossible to be proficient in all types of arrays.

Even Long Xuan's Ice Formation is merely a defensive array with a secondary Killing Formation; it has no Illusion Formation effect whatsoever.

There are large formations that can encompass all types of formations, but this is only possible if they occupy a large area, have Formation Base, and have sufficient space to inscribe formation Formation Inscription.

This already falls into the category of large-scale formations; large formations that encompass all types of formations are also known as Composite Grand Formation.

Composite Grand Formation are extremely difficult to deal with; even Formation Raider would find it hard to break a complex Composite Grand Formation.

Long Xuan can use the Eye of Heavenly Secrets to draw Formation Inscription patterns smaller, enough to depict a massive number of Formation Inscription, which already has the prototype of Composite Grand Formation.

If the Formation Eye of Composite Grand Formation suppresses a treasure such as Spirit Vein, Spirit Mountain, or Spirit Spring, then the Composite Grand Formation will be given another name and will be called Vicious Formation. A particularly powerful Vicious Formation will be called Peerless Vicious Formation.

If Long Xuan's concept of the Microscopic-Flow Formation can truly be realized, then his grand array will become a Vicious Formation, or even an Peerless Vicious Formation Peerless Vicious Formation, enough to stop the attack of a Gu King.
