The Reverse Spirit Sealing Yuan Formation, according to ancient records, is a powerful sealing-type spirit restriction formation. This formation can reverse the power of the five elements, forming a Reverse Spirit Radiance that rapidly devours the spiritual energy within the formation.
Thereby creating an acquired spirit-depleted environment within the space covered by the formation.
Although this formation creates an acquired spirit-depleted environment, the Reverse Spirit Radiance formed by this formation is even more terrifying compared to the naturally formed spirit-depleted lands between heaven and earth.
Once inside, the spiritual power within a cultivator's body will involuntarily leak out. Leaking out several times faster, even dozens of times faster.
Zhang Ling's gaze constantly swept across the huge formation plate below, but he did not find anything sealed inside.
Apart from the five slowly rotating top-grade spirit stones, there was nothing on this formation plate; it was completely empty.
It seems that whatever was once sealed inside has either been completely eroded or has been taken away.
Zhang Ling pondered, suddenly a thought popped into his head. Could it be that what was originally sealed by this formation was the blue treasure cauldron that trapped him earlier, or the Long Bo essence soul inside?
This possibility is quite likely.
With these thoughts swirling in his mind, Zhang Ling carefully examined the huge formation plate. The formation was operating perfectly, without any signs of damage.
At the same time, there were no other restrictions assisting it, which was a bit strange.
This formation is actually not difficult to break. The core of this formation's operation is the five top-grade spirit stones. As long as you take away any one of the spirit stones, the five elements will be unbalanced, and the Reverse Spirit Radiance can no longer be formed, breaking it instantly.
Although the Reverse Spirit Radiance formed by this formation can quickly devour the spiritual energy in the formation, this formation is generally not set up independently.
To truly seal some special things, it actually needs to be paired with several other powerful formations.
If there is only a single Reverse Spirit Sealing Yuan Formation, it can be easily broken.
After carefully examining it and finding nothing wrong, Zhang Ling flicked out a pitch-black vine. The vine instantly extended to a hundred feet long and penetrated into the white beam of light.
Although countless Reverse Spirit Radiance strands instantly appeared in the beam of light, wrapping around the vine, the vine immediately showed signs of withering.
Zhang Ling, with an expressionless face, moved his mind, and a layer of black gas emerged from the vine, temporarily resisting the Reverse Spirit Radiance.
This layer of black gas was precisely the strands of True Devil Qi he had refined.
Although it was also being consumed rapidly, the True Devil Qi was extremely stubborn, and it was not a problem to resist the Reverse Spirit Radiance for a while.
The vine flashed, like a black snake, and wrapped around the top-grade Wood Spirit Stone on the formation plate, pulling the Wood Spirit Stone out of a groove on it.
Zhang Ling had already prepared a delicate jade box. The top-grade Wood Spirit Stone instantly fell into it, emitting a shimmering green light.
Upon closer inspection, countless firefly-like green light spots floated within this top-grade Wood Spirit Stone, constantly flowing, appearing very beautiful.
At the same time, a faint fragrance of grass and trees could be smelled. Taking a light sniff, he felt a strong vitality, and he couldn't help but reveal a look of great joy.
Good, the spiritual energy of this top-grade Wood Spirit Stone is basically still intact, like it was just mined from a top-grade spiritual vein.
With a flash of yellow light in his hand, Zhang Ling covered the box and attached two Spirit Sealing Talismans, then put the treasure into his storage bracelet.
In fact, if top-grade spirit stones are left outside unused, the spiritual power on them will not be consumed at all.
Attaching the Spirit Sealing Talismans was just to prevent being discovered by other cultivators while carrying it on his body.
Just as Zhang Ling had put away the top-grade Wood Spirit Stone, a burst of radiance suddenly lit up before his eyes, and the huge formation plate of the Reverse Spirit Sealing Yuan Formation shook violently. The released white light became blurred and unstable, showing a multicolored radiance.
This was a sign that the five elements spiritual power of this formation was out of balance, and the released spiritual light was about to dissipate.
The large expanse of radiance in front of him flickered brightly and dimly a few times, then collapsed into wisps of spiritual energy and dissipated. The formation patterns engraved on the huge formation plate also instantly became dim.
Immediately afterward, a flash of fire light appeared before his eyes, and Fire Essence flew out of the dissipating radiance with the Fire Yuan Calabash.
Zhang Ling chuckled, spat out a ball of essence, and wrapped it around the Fire Yuan Calabash, then absorbed this natal magic weapon into his dantian.
With a thought, the other four gourds in his dantian simultaneously released a piece of Five Elements Spiritual Light, wrapping the Fire Yuan Calabash. It began to nurture itself.
In a few days, the Fire Yuan Calabash's spirituality will be restored to its original state.
Speaking of which, the body of his five Five-Colored Treasure Gourds was refined using the Yin-Yang Calabash. Among them, its own blue and white qi, which is the Five Elements Spiritual Light, was originally transformed from the power of the five elements.
Looking at the formation plate in front of him, Zhang Ling thought to himself that even if he had risked entering the range of the white beam of light just now, relying on the Five Elements Spiritual Light, he might have been able to break the Reverse Spirit Radiance.
The Reverse Spirit Radiance is formed by reversing the power of the five elements, and the Five Elements Spiritual Light can balance the power of the five elements.
Of course, this formation was not controlled by anyone, and there were no other supporting formations. The Reverse Spirit Radiance it emitted was passively emitted.
If someone were controlling it, its power would be at least several times stronger.
At this time, he took out the other four jade boxes and carefully collected the other four top-grade spirit stones on the formation plate. Of course, he did not let go of this huge formation plate either.
With a magic technique cast on it, the huge formation plate spun rapidly and shrank, eventually turning into a black and white stone plate, floating into his hand.
This formation plate of the Reverse Spirit Sealing Yuan Formation is also not an ordinary thing. Its value is definitely not small.
According to ancient records, it was also refined using a special five elements material, plus complex reverse five elements formation patterns, to succeed.
Perhaps he could use this formation sometime in the future.
This time, he not only collected this formation plate, but also obtained five top-grade spirit stones at once. Zhang Ling swept away the depressed mood of being trapped in the cauldron earlier.
Of course, the blue treasure cauldron currently placed in the Sumeru Cave Mansion is definitely not an ordinary item either.
In addition, he had also obtained two storage magic tools from the Long Bo corpse in the cauldron earlier, which he had not had time to check. Perhaps there would be some considerable gains.
These gains already made the trip worthwhile.
Of course, now it was better to leave this place first, find a safe place, and check after he had adjusted his breath and recovered from his injuries.
Zhang Ling's body flashed with red light, and he used the Fire Evasion Technique to leave this place. He had not forgotten that there were still two powerful cultivators fighting outside.
Before leaving, he casually swept his divine sense around. It was originally just a subconscious action, but he felt that there was still a restriction power remaining here.
Zhang Ling was stunned for a moment and swept his gaze over. He saw that the restriction power he sensed was precisely at the most central location where the formation plate had been placed earlier.
After he put away the huge formation plate of the Reverse Spirit Sealing Yuan Formation, the area covered by the formation lost its power support and was being filled by layers of molten lava waves surging from all around.
But at this moment, in the two or three zhang area at the very center where the formation plate had been placed, a half-zhang wide blue and red halo was inexplicably rippling, isolating the surrounding surging lava waves.
This halo rotated slowly, occasionally flashing with some dim spiritual patterns, looking like a strange cave entrance.
Below this cave entrance was also layers of molten lava waves, and there was no channel connecting to the halo at all, making this halo appear very abrupt.
Zhang Ling approached the halo, and suddenly, a strange cry came from his sleeve, and the Void Insect crawled out.
Previously, the Void Insect had used its spatial divine abilities many times to break open the blue treasure cauldron, consuming a lot of vitality. After it came out, it fell into a semi-comatose state.
At this moment, it actually crawled out and issued a reminder.
After communicating with the spirit insect, Zhang Ling immediately understood that it turned out that the Void Insect sensed that this halo was emitting weak spatial fluctuations.
"Okay, little guy, I know." Zhang Ling touched the Void Insect's flat head, and the Void Insect also rubbed his arm, twisting its body and returning to his sleeve again.
"Could it be a teleportation array?"
Zhang Ling looked at the strange halo and roughly guessed the purpose of this halo. He also sensed it carefully, and indeed sensed extremely weak spatial fluctuations.
The spiritual patterns flowing in the halo, although somewhat blurred, were indeed extremely similar to the spatial spiritual patterns engraved on the teleportation array upon closer inspection.
The halo did not look very big, so obviously the distance teleported by this teleportation array was not very far either. It was just too strange to be built in the earth fire vein.
Zhang Ling pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and released a three or four zhang long black snake. This black snake had no vitality, and its body was connected by segmented, black and red iron plates. Between swims, it made a clanging sound of metal.
This was a type of first-order snake puppet he had refined.
Pointing at his own brow, Zhang Ling separated a weak divine sense from his sea of consciousness, turned it into a faint gray light, and submerged into the snake puppet's body.
"Go in and see where it leads." Zhang Ling snorted softly, and the snake puppet swam into the halo under his divine sense control.
The runes flowing in the halo flashed a few times, and the snake puppet was teleported away.
Even if there was any danger inside, losing a divine sense and a first-order puppet was nothing to him.
Zhang Ling stood in place and waited for a moment. The runes in the halo flashed again, and the snake puppet teleported back.
He instantly withdrew the divine sense that had been controlling the puppet. Sensing the information transmitted back by the divine sense, the place teleported by this halo seemed to be an ancient cultivator's cave dwelling.
It seemed to be the cave dwelling of the original owner of this place. As for who the original owner of this place was, he naturally did not know, perhaps it was that Long Bo.
Zhang Ling sneered, put away the snake puppet, and with a flash of his figure, he also rushed into the halo.
