These two stone lions were similar to the stone spirit beasts Jiang Wen had seen in Taicang City, all being stone sculptures. However, the stone spirit beasts beside the Taishen Palace in Taicang City were not as large as these two stone lions, nor were their appearances as majestic.
Jiang Wen walked over with the wooden whip in hand, and the two stone lions roared at him. They were imposing and powerful, their huge bodies stepping forward.
The ginseng spirit on his shoulder was so frightened that it trembled, hiding in Jiang Wen's collar: "Yinyin is so scared! Yinyin is so scared!"
"Don't panic, watch me teach them a lesson." Jiang Wen jumped up and lashed out at the two stone lions with the wooden whip, striking them head-on.
The two stone lions were stunned for a moment, seeing this living person so arrogant, and then they rushed up with bared teeth and claws. Their bodies were about ten zhang long and more than three zhang high. With every step and movement, the ground shook, enough to scare ordinary cultivators.
The stone lions went to meet Jiang Wen, but were struck on the head by the wooden whip. Immediately, one stone lion fell to the ground, struggling and floundering. The other one bared its teeth and claws, waving its claws to grab at Jiang Wen. Under its claws, chaotic rocks appeared out of nowhere, and head-sized stones smashed towards him.
These gravels were extremely fast, flying like meteor showers. Each stone was incomparably hard, and being hit by them would definitely lead to immediate death.
Jiang Wen was not afraid at all, waving the wooden whip to knock away all the stones. Relying solely on his own strength, he actually blocked the stone lion's spells and divine powers. Then, before the stone lion could react, the wooden whip struck the stone lion's face.
With a bang, the stone lion's head shattered, cracks appearing in its skull, and it howled after falling to the ground.
"They're quite big, but they look so fragile." Jiang Wen weighed the wooden whip in his hand, feeling somewhat unsatisfied. This wooden whip was really easy to use, far more durable than any flying sword. Just now, he compared the strength, and if he used a flying sword to fight these two stone lions, the flying sword would really be chipped.
These two stone lions were extraordinary, definitely some kind of rare and exotic beasts. It's just that being placed here to guard the gate of the cave mansion, they must have some strength.
Judging from the hardness of their bodies and their strength and divine powers, it would be difficult for ordinary Fate Core cultivators to defeat these two stone lions.
Because these stone lions absorbed mana, they shouldn't be hurt by ordinary spells or secret techniques. Just now, Jiang Wen used a little mana, and as a result, the mana was absorbed by the stone lion. If he only specialized in spells, he would probably have to entangle with these two stone lions for a while.
"Fortunately, this Daoist's strength is not small either." Jiang Wen grinned and put away the wooden whip. Seeing this situation, the ginseng spirit on his shoulder immediately jumped up and down with joy.
"Great, the big guy defeated the bad things! Yinyin!"
The ginseng spirit was overjoyed, and Jiang Wen stepped over the two stone lions and came to the gate. He glanced at the stone lions, and the damage he had just caused to them was slowly recovering. Perhaps it wouldn't be long before these two stone lions could recover.
They got up and lay on the ground, and when Jiang Wen looked at them, they retreated a little in fear. They stayed in a corner, not daring to antagonize Jiang Wen again.
After all, his strength was extraordinary now. After the refinement of Qi into Spirit, his physical body began to change. If compared with the things of the modern world, his strength was enough to drag a high-speed train.

How terrible is this kind of strength, enough to be shocking.
But even so, nothing happened when Jiang Wen tried to pull this stone door with force. It seemed that this stone door could not be pushed open with brute force, but had to be opened with mechanisms and formations.
"Could it be that the formation is engraved on this door?" Jiang Wen carefully looked at the formation engraved on the door, reaching out to touch it. Then he pinched his fingers and chanted a mantra, striking the stone door with magic. He never thought that the stone door would not move at all, and the magic hitting the stone door was like a drop of water entering the sea without any reaction.
"There is indeed something to it, it seems that neither magic nor brute force can open this stone door. The cultivator who built this cave mansion is probably not low in cultivation, possibly reaching the Dao Palace realm." Jiang Wen didn't do any more useless work, but pondered the formation on the stone door.
This kind of formation was different from the formations he knew, but tended to be a more complex grand formation.
Touching the formation lines with his fingers, he could feel a tingling electric shock coming. This formation was still running, and the spiritual energy within it still existed. The electric shock just now was the formation's resistance to his contact.
"The formation is still running, it seems that this formation is maintaining the stone door." Jiang Wen looked around, but didn't find anything else. Then he stretched out his hand, gathering mana between his fingers. "The formation is running, then I will break it with external force."
The mana in his hand merged into the formation, and lightning flashed on the formation. A sizzling sound came, and the entire stone door was constantly shaking.
Jiang Wen increased his strength, making the mana more abundant. He now had boundless mana, so he was not short of this little bit. Therefore, he was not in a hurry at all in confronting this formation.
Blue lightning sparks constantly appeared on the formation on the stone door, and the squeaking sound echoed in the valley. Seeing this, the two stone lions hurriedly hid aside, not daring to join this battle of immortals at all.
And on Jiang Wen's shoulder, the ginseng spirit was also frightened, hiding behind Jiang Wen and not daring to poke its head out.
"Big guy, what are you doing?" The ginseng spirit asked in a small and curious voice.
"I'm opening the door." Jiang Wen answered casually, increasing the mana in his hand again.
Boom——!!
A thunderous sound came, and a violent spark flashed. It rushed in all directions, and the violent fluctuations blew away countless rocks.
Dust flew, and thunder echoed. Jiang Wen was shaken back a few steps by this repulsive force, and looked at the stone door with some surprise.
"Not simple, it can actually absorb part of my mana, and then return all the mana to me. This is not simple, the person who arranged this formation should be an expert. " Jiang Wen became more and more interested in this stone door. Being able to arrange such a formation with a stone door, it seemed that this person must be a master of formations, or even a grandmaster.
In short, the idea of filling the formation with mana and then breaking it was rejected. Jiang Wen walked around the stone gate a few times. Then he pinched the magic formula and chanted: "Heaven and Earth Xuanzong, the gods are self-aware. The Three Realms and Six Paths, let me come and go. Free and at ease, the earth protects the body. Hurry, hurry, as the law commands!"
After chanting, he stepped towards the wall. But after taking a few steps, he was stopped by the wall.
"It seems that the wall-penetrating technique doesn't work." Jiang Wen was a little regretful, and then used several other spells. All of them ended in failure. In the end, facing this stone door, he actually felt helpless.
"Is it really so difficult to open this stone door?" Jiang Wen was wondering, when he heard the ginseng spirit say in his ear.
"Big guy, do you want to go in?"
"Yes." Jiang Wen nodded.
"Yinyin has a way."
