Li Yan combined all the results of his current investigation with the map, and then tried to guess the origin of this ancient city of immortality...

Li Yan After a few strands of Divine Sense encountered the city's formation restrictions in several directions, they quickly retracted them.

In the darkness, after Li Yan's eyes flickered for a few times, his hands that had been clasped behind his back suddenly stretched forward, and then a mottled portable lantern appeared in his hands.

However, just when Li Yan was about to carry this lantern without candlelight and try to see if there would be any reaction here, Li Yan suddenly looked startled.

"Really... really reacted!"

As soon as the mottled red portable lantern appeared, an inexplicable tugging force suddenly came from the handle.

Then the entire red lantern seemed to be pulled up at the same time by that force, and actually floated forward.

At this time, Li Yan felt as if he was holding a hunting dog in his hand. At this time, there was prey in front of him, and the other party wanted to take him out...

This force is actually not weak, but for ordinary mortals, in fact, this pulling force already has the power of the Foundation Establishment Realm. It can easily break mountains and move peaks, but of course it cannot pull Li Yan's body.

"Is this because the portable lantern is too broken? So it can only burst out with such intensity of power..."

While Li Yan was thinking in his mind, the spiritual shield on his body was already flowing rapidly, and his Divine Sense was even covering his surroundings.

But except for the red lantern in his hand that was generating power and constantly pulling him to move forward, there was still no attack.

At the same time, Li Yan did not sense any danger coming from the various senses activated. Li Yan looked at the portable lantern in his hand, which seemed to be trying desperately to break free from his control, and flew forward.

In front of him at this moment was the bottom of the cave, but there was nothing there except a stone wall!

Li Yan After pondering for a moment, he immediately relaxed his control, and then his body was suspended, and he was pulled forward by the force.

But the power in Li Yan's hand was just relaxed, not left alone, but some repulsive power was generated, suppressing the pulling power on the hand-held red lantern.

He did this just to see what the other party wanted to do? And he can control and react immediately. Often the greatest danger is hidden in the seeming powerlessness...

The portable red lantern carried Li Yan straight forward, and soon reached the stone wall at the bottom of the cave. At this time, the broken red lantern floating in front touched the stone wall in an instant.

"This is..."

A bright light suddenly appeared in front of Li Yan. Even though Li Yan had been prepared for it, he tightened his grip immediately.

He immediately stabilized his hold on the red lantern and stopped in front of the stone wall.

At the same time, he quickly raised his other hand, and a Guiyi Water-Parting Spike appeared in his hand, but he stopped in the next moment.

Then Li Yan showed a strange expression on his face. His reaction just now was that the moment the light appeared, he subconsciously took the precautions he had prepared long ago.

However, his Divine Sense also scanned the front at that time. The light in front came from the stone wall, which was a pale white light.

Although the light is very hazy, in such a dark cave, it feels not much different from the scorching sun, as dazzling as a sun suddenly descending in the dark night.

However, except for the white light, there were still no attacks. In Li Yan and Divine Sense, the stone wall in front suddenly lit up strangely.

Then, when his Divine Sense probed, it penetrated directly through the surrounding stone walls again, and found another large mountain.

Seeing this scene in Divine Sense, Li Yan showed a strange expression on his face, but his Divine Sense did not stop and continued to explore deeper...

Just a moment later, the strange expression on Li Yan's face became even worse, because his Divine Sense, like last time, quickly touched the green-light restriction after passing through the mountain.

Although his Divine Sense passed through the white light that appeared, it reached the edge of the city again.

"Could it be that this lantern belongs to this temple? There may have been some Divine Ability in the past, so it was taken away by the enemies who attacked here.

In the end, I don't know how many years passed, or it was almost destroyed during one use, and it could never be repaired later.

Or the monk who held this object died at that time, and the portable lantern was obtained by others, and then it was preserved through various rumors, and finally ended up in the North Pasture Realm..."

Li Yan was thinking about the origin of Red Handheld Lantern.

"... Now that this object has returned here, it is because it is a treasure and has some psychic effect, and then it has a reaction here, but is it just to light up the stone wall here?

No... no, then why did it react differently when it was on the North Ice Continent in the lower realm? And it has some similar aura to "Heaven-Stealing Kerchief"? "

Li Yan tried to deduce something for a while, but the more he thought about it, the more things appeared that he couldn't explain.

Li Yan Thinking about it later, when I looked at the stone wall in front of me, the white light was still shining there, and the hand-held red lantern still continued to generate the power to pull forward.

Li Yan's thoughts moved slightly. Guiyi Water-Parting Spike's hand disappeared and was replaced by a brocade handkerchief. However, the mana in Li Yan's palm holding the brocade handkerchief was even stronger.

This handkerchief is "Heaven-Stealing Kerchief". Li Yan has long thought that this thing is too mysterious, so except for occasionally using it, it has been sealed in "Tuban".

Fortunately, in the end, although "Heaven-Stealing Kerchief" and the portable red lantern occasionally behaved abnormally, they never had any negative behavior toward themselves.

Comparing the two, Li Yan felt that "Heaven-Stealing Kerchief" was more mysterious, so after taking it out, the control force in his hand was much stronger, and another Divine Sense fell on it.

But what surprised him was that this thing, which had a similar aura to the portable red lantern, was completely dead at this time.

But there is no movement like on the North Ice Continent, and there is no "excitement" like carrying a red lantern at all, let alone any aura...

Li Yan held the palm of "Heaven-Stealing Kerchief" and suddenly pushed it forward, and then an illusory palm emerged from his palm, directly clasped "Heaven-Stealing Kerchief", and hit the stone wall in front of him that was emitting white light.

"Bang!"

Li Yan didn't use much force. With a muffled sound, "Heaven-Stealing Kerchief" covered an area, so under the Li Yan Divine Sense lock... nothing happened?

"Heaven-Stealing Kerchief" just stuck to the stone wall without any reaction, and the white light did not change further.

Li Yan Divine Sense was still looking there, motionless like a statue. After about half a cup of tea, Li Yan's illusory palm clasped and brought "Heaven-Stealing Kerchief" back.

"It still hasn't triggered any restrictions, maybe it's because it's too weak now..."

There was no response when "Heaven-Stealing Kerchief" was put on it. Li Yan was not sure at first whether there would be any profound restrictions hidden in the white light.

After all, "Heaven-Stealing Kerchief" now often takes a long, long time to react to high-level bans.

Li Yan finally took back "Heaven-Stealing Kerchief". At the same time, Li Yan also pulled the portable red lantern in the other hand back. As soon as the lantern left the stone wall, the light there dimmed at an extremely fast speed.

Under the gaze of Li Yan, in just a few breaths, the entire cave once again turned into darkness...

Li Yan However, at the moment when the cave was completely dark, the power controlling the portable lantern relaxed again, and suddenly the red lantern pulled Li Yan's arm forward.

Then the moment the lantern touched the stone wall in front, a bright light slowly lit up on the cave wall in front.

Then Li Yan pulled back the portable lantern again, and soon after, the stone wall turned into darkness again...

After doing this several times, Li Yan tested "Heaven-Stealing Kerchief" alone, but there was still no movement. Li Yan extended the portable red lantern to other places, but there was no response from other stone walls.

After a while, Li Yan stood in the darkness, controlling the red lantern with his strength, just standing in the darkness and thinking.

"... The places where these two things are obtained are completely different. Why do they have similar auras, and sometimes they can react together, and sometimes only one of them has an inexplicable reaction.

And this ancient monk city... may not necessarily belong to the Main Dao Realm. After some places are separated by the big Divine Ability, they may enter the void and form a unique secret realm.

Or some places in the void can be transformed into secret realms by strong people, and then moved here with the big Divine Ability.

For example, the ancient palace in Huangqi Valley in the Cangxuan Realm, and the secret realm set up by the Qianju Master in the Mortal Realm. These are not necessarily things from the original place, but were transported to other realms by people using their magical powers or accidentally.

Therefore, this ancient Xiuxian City may have been sealed by someone and sent into the void. It makes sense why there is not even a single life in it.

And later, did this ancient city of immortal cultivation move here again on its own or by someone due to some kind of change...

No matter which case it is, the result is that the two things in my hands may not be the objects in the realm where they were originally discovered.

Or maybe these two objects of unknown origin were originally from the same realm, so some of the same materials were used.

The same materials were refined into different treasures in the hands of different monks. If there is a common resonance, it should be due to the materials themselves.

The hand-held red lantern was made into a treasure by Buddhist monks, so after arriving here, you may have a separate feeling for this place, but where did these two things come from..."

Li Yan's thoughts were racing in his mind, and he seemed to have found some reasons that could be explained, but he still couldn't really explain it.

"... Since you want to get close to the stone wall so much, can the light that appears there be turned into your candle?"

Li Yan was thinking about it, and suddenly an idea appeared in his mind, which made his eyes light up.

His hand holding the red lantern suddenly loosened its strength, and the red lantern instantly lost its restraints and immediately floated toward the stone wall ahead.

But on the handle of the red lantern, a long spiritual rope appeared. Li Yan wants to see what this thing wants to do? But he won't let it go completely, at least he doesn't want to lose this thing.

After the hand-held red lantern touched the stone wall again, a bright light suddenly came out from the stone wall in front of it.

Then, under Li Yan's gaze, the hand-held red lantern kept rushing forward like a big-headed insect. Li Yan felt as if he wanted to drill into the stone wall, but couldn't.

So it actually started to swim up, down, left and right on the stone wall in front of it. This really reminded Li Yan of the hunting dogs in the Great Green Mountain village, constantly sniffing around and sniffing their prey...

Time passed like this, and the light on the stone wall in front did not turn into the candlelight of a lantern as Li Yan imagined.

But the red lantern also failed to get into the stone wall, but since Li Yan wanted to observe, he was patient this time.

However, at a certain moment, Li Yan's expression moved, and the portable red lantern that was floating around on the stone wall suddenly stopped moving.

And at this moment, a weak spatial fluctuation suddenly came from the white-lit stone wall ahead. Li Yan's Divine Sense had been locking the red lantern.

At this time, his Divine Sense could see it more clearly. It was not that the lantern had stopped moving, but that the force used by the other party was radiating towards the stone wall close to it. It looked like he clearly wanted to get in...

"It's space fluctuation again... Is the stone wall here a passage?"

Li Yan Sensing the situation there, thoughts quickly flashed through his mind. The first thing that came to mind was to form the four maps and start the process of passing the restriction here.

At this time, a hand-held red lantern appeared on the lower right side of the stone wall in front, and a similar situation appeared there. This means that this object is like a map and really has something to do with this place.

The reason why it took me a while to find the reason for opening the ban at the right location, Li Yan should be able to guess the reason.

That portable red lantern may have been damaged too badly, so its current power has been weakened many times.

Even after sensing the connection between this place and oneself, it still takes a certain amount of time to finally find the location of the real space passage.

This can also be further inferred from the current situation. The portable red lantern seems to want to enter the space channel at this time.

But even though it found the right location, it couldn't enter at all. The power it exuded was too weak!

"... What is behind the stone wall? Space fluctuations... is it still this city?

What is emitted is... white light, and the light everywhere in this city is dark blue. Is there a more hidden place in this city? "

Li Yan did not stop the movement of the portable red lantern. After the space fluctuations were emitted, Li Yan sensed that this space power was not fully activated, which meant that the portable red lantern could not be fully activated.

Therefore, it cannot enter at all, but if Li Yan only needs help, it should be able to open the space channel here smoothly.

But Li Yan didn't move at this time. He was still thinking quickly. He didn't know where this place led to?

Li Yan Based on past teleportation experience, he judged from the color of the bright light and the fluctuations in space that it seemed that he was not in the city anymore.

This ancient Xiuxian City has only one gate, and when you enter from the Hudi Mountain, you will be sent outside that gate.

What is behind the strong isolation that envelopes the city? None of the four of them knew, and thought it might be another unknown area...

At this time, Li Yan hesitated. There was no way to speculate outside the city. He was thinking about whether he should ask Shuang Qingqing to see if she had any suggestions?

But Li Yan rejected this idea in just one thought. Since Shuang Qingqing didn't want to participate in what happened next, he just wanted to repay his love. He was afraid that if other treasures appeared, it would be bad for one more person to know about it.

At the same time, there is a further reason. Li Yan also does not want others to know about carrying a red lantern.

Although this thing seems to be useless, Li Yan can guess from "Heaven-Stealing Kerchief" that this thing itself should be very extraordinary, but after it was damaged for some reason, its power is not even close to the surface.

Li Yan suddenly floated forward, and the next moment he grabbed the lantern's handle, but instead of pulling it back, the other hand was rapidly changing the magic formula.

Then, a series of ancient seal talisman-like seals appeared from the fingertips, flying in the sky like snowflakes, and fell to the position of the lantern near the stone wall.
