Chapter 1897: Ancient Formation, Jade Fire Fairy's Cave

Wang Qinghua's words made the atmosphere on the scene suddenly become a little awkward.

Fairy Pei, Fellow Daoist Huang, and even the old monster Tianqiong were silent at this moment.

The same is true for them. Wang Qinghua became more and more certain that the Tianjian Immortal Sect and the Tianhuang Immortal Sect must have discovered something good in the ruins of the ancient True Immortal Realm.

After a long time, it was the old monster Tianqiong who spoke first.

"Fairy Qinghua, we did find some things in the ruins of the ancient True Immortal Realm. However, we ourselves don't know what those things are!"

"That's why we sent some inner disciples to go in and explore!"

"Even if this operation fails, it will only result in the loss of a few inner disciples."

Wang Qinghua blinked slightly.

In the end, he said nothing.

In the eyes of many powerful people in the realm of celestial immortals, even the inner disciples of the sect are just some relatively high-level cannon fodder.

Without advancing to the celestial immortal realm, you will always be an ant!

"Senior Sister, at this point, there's no need for us to argue with them. Let's just wait and see the outcome!"

Seeing this, Elder Lingxu on the side quickly sent a message to Wang Qinghua.

Wang Qinghua nodded, picked a place without saying a word, sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes to rest.

……

In the ruins of the ancient True Immortal Realm, seven or eight disciples of the Tianjian Immortal Sect, led by an enchanting female cultivator, slowly walked towards the foot of a huge mountain.

These people are all inner disciples of the Tianjian Immortal Sect.

The enchanting female cultivator who was leading the group was the one who had killed a mid-stage Earth Immortal Earth Dragon Python with a single sword strike in the ancient True Immortal Realm ruins.

Under normal circumstances, if these people joined forces, even ordinary early stage celestial immortals could join forces to fight.

But right now, all the inner disciples of the Tianjian Xianzong seemed extremely cautious.

Especially the leading female cultivator, her expression was extremely solemn.

"Everyone, be careful. The powerful restrictions here make even me nervous. If anyone triggers the powerful restrictions here, we will all die!"

The female cultivator had an indifferent expression on her face, and her icy voice immediately made everyone's hair stand on end.

Soon, all the inner disciples of the Tianjian Xianzong were alert and followed the female cultivator closely.

About half a cup of tea later, the leading female cultivator suddenly stopped.

She looked hesitantly at the huge mountain in front of her, her beautiful eyes filled with indescribable shock.

"We've been here for a day, but we can't even get any closer to the mountain. No matter how long we walk, the distance between us and the mountain doesn't seem to change at all."

As soon as the female cultivator finished speaking, the expression of the man in green robe who was following closely behind her suddenly changed slightly.

"Ji Xiuxiu, are you saying that we have been trapped in the restriction for this period of time without realizing it?"

Ji Xiuxiu frowned slightly.

A hint of solemnity flashed across her beautiful eyes.

After pondering for a long time, she suddenly looked at the man in green robe behind her.

"Junior Brother Jin, you are the only formation master among us. If you can't find any way to break the formation, then naturally we can't either. However, there is one thing we are sure of: we are indeed trapped in the formation and restrictions. However, we cannot find the flaws in this formation or restrictions. It is better not to act rashly now!"

Ji Xiuxiu looked solemn.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone present changed drastically.

Only Jin Haoran seemed to be thinking about something.

After a long while, Jin Haoran suddenly said, "Senior Sister, instead of waiting here, why don't you let me try and see if I can find the flaws in this formation and restriction! Otherwise, we can only return the way we came."

"Okay, let's do as you wish!"

Ji Xiuxiu nodded and signaled Jin Haoran to take action.

Soon, Jin Haoran cast a series of mysterious spells in all directions.

Not long after, a buzzing sound suddenly rang out from the surrounding void.

Suddenly, a light curtain of formation emitting a terrifying aura appeared above everyone's heads.

Seeing this, everyone present was suddenly shocked.

"There really is a powerful formation!"

"Looking at the appearance of this formation, it seems to be an ancient formation without a doubt."

"We have unknowingly entered the ancient formation. This is really unbelievable."

When Jin Haoran heard this, he immediately smiled bitterly.

"My fellow disciples, the formation we are in is only the outermost formation here!"

"Even so, it is still fatal to us, the powerful ones in the Earthly Immortal Realm."

"If we continue to move forward, I'm afraid we'll encounter more and more restrictions and formations, and they'll become more and more powerful."

"The level of danger will be far greater than it is now."

Jin Haoran told the truth about what he had found out.

At this moment, all the disciples of Tianjian Xianzong turned their eyes to Ji Xiuxiu.

Ji Xiuxiu's long eyelashes blinked slightly. After a moment's hesitation, she said decisively, "When we came here, the sect had already emphasized that our mission was to explore this unknown area. If we just retreat like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to report to the sect!"

"But if we force our way in, we will definitely suffer heavy losses."

"How about this, those of us present here will take turns following Junior Brother Jin Haoran to break the formation. The rest of you, immediately retreat outside and keep watch."

"If we find any dangerous situation, our losses won't be too serious."

Ji Xiuxiu's words made everyone's expression change slightly.

As inner disciples of the Tianjian Xianzong, they naturally knew that Ji Xiuxiu's words completely treated them as cannon fodder.

This made everyone feel very uncomfortable.

Soon, a burly man said dissatisfiedly, "Senior Sister Ji, what do you mean by this? Are you going to use all of us as cannon fodder?"

Ji Xiuxiu didn't seem angry.

Looking at the burly man, she smiled gently.

"Junior Brother Qian, what do you mean?"

"Haha, since this place is so dangerous, whether we stay or leave can't be decided by you alone. You have to ask our opinion too!"

"Oh? Junior Brother Qian, I've overlooked this. Junior Brother Qian, are you leaving or planning to stay?"

The burly man smiled grimly, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.

"Senior Sister Ji, don't pretend to be ignorant. I, your junior brother, must leave. No one wants to stay here and die!"

"is it?"

Ji Xiuxiu smiled faintly.

The next moment, a fierce look flashed from the depths of her eyes.

Before the burly man could react, the sound of a sword rang out from his body.

This inner sect disciple, who was at the early stage of Earthly Immortal, was pierced through the Dantian by a flying sword without even uttering a scream.

Even the Nascent Soul didn't have time to escape before it died completely.

Soon, the flying sword fell into Ji Xiuxiu's body.

Seeing this, the expressions of all the other disciples of the Tianjian Xianzong who had originally held on to a glimmer of hope suddenly changed drastically.

Everyone looked at Ji Xiuxiu with fear.

"Everyone, please don't forget your identities. As inner disciples of the Heavenly Sword Immortal Sect, you enjoy the sect's generous treatment, but naturally you must also do some dangerous things for the sect."

"Haha, you guys, since I'm leading the team, you naturally have to listen to me!"

When Ji Xiuxiu said this, the smile on her face became even brighter.

Her gentle gaze swept over all the inner disciples of the Tianjian Xianzong.

"My fellow disciples, there's no need to be so nervous. I'm a very reasonable person. Now, I have a serious question."

"All of you must act according to what I just asked."

"Who is in favor and who is against?"

The scene was deathly silent.

Even Jin Haoran didn't dare to say a word.

After a long while, Ji Xiuxiu saw that no one said anything, so she said again, "Since all of you junior brothers are silent, I will assume that no one objects."

Soon, she looked at Jin Haoran with a calm gaze: "Junior Brother Jin, you take one person to start breaking the formation, and we will withdraw first. If you die, the others behind will continue to make up for it!"

Ji Xiuxiu's cold voice echoed. No one from the Heavenly Sword Sect dared to stand up and oppose her anymore.

They all lowered their heads and acted according to Ji Xiuxiu's instructions.

……

In the ancient world of true immortals, on a vast grassland.

At this moment, Chen Xuan and Taoist Qingfeng were standing in front of an inconspicuous boulder.

Chen Xuan, with a look of suspicion on his face, stared at the huge rock in front of him for a long time, but his brows furrowed even more tightly.

"Fellow Daoist Qingfeng, you are not lying to me, are you? Where is the ancient immortal cave here? I can't see it at all." Chen Xuan said.

Taoist Qingfeng smiled and said, "Daoyou, it's normal that you can't see it. After all, in the impression of ordinary True Immortals like us, no one's cave dwelling would be opened underground!"

Having said that, Taoist Qingfeng signaled Chen Xuan to move aside.

Chen Xuan did not hesitate and immediately retreated more than ten feet away.

Upon seeing this, Taoist Qingfeng immediately nodded with a smile.

Soon, he pointed his finger in the air at the boulder.

A domineering golden energy fell directly on the boulder with a bang.

The huge rock as big as a hill was directly blown into pieces by the golden energy.

Soon, a cave entrance that could only accommodate one person appeared in front of Chen Xuan.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan was even more surprised.

"This...why didn't I notice that there was an entrance hidden under this huge rock just now?" Chen Xuan said.

"Hehe, fellow Daoist, if you knew that what I just shattered was the Shapeshifting Stone, you wouldn't be asking this question."

"This……"

Chen Xuan looked surprised.

Shapeshifting Stone!

This is a must-have item for refining the shape-changing talisman.

It has the miraculous effect of confusing and changing divine consciousness detection.

Just now, such a big stone turned out to be the Shape-shifting Stone, which made Chen Xuan unbelievable.

Soon, he waved his hand and put all the large pieces of gravel into the storage bag.

Taoist Qingfeng was slightly stunned.

Soon, he reacted suddenly and took the opportunity to clear out the remaining Transfiguration Stones.

After doing this, Chen Xuan used his divine sense to explore the entrance of the cave.

After a while, they discovered that there were indeed traces of artificial excavation deep in the cave.

To be on the safe side, Chen Xuan calmly released some gold-eating bugs and let them go in to explore first.

Taoist Qingfeng and I walked cautiously towards the depths of the cave.

After the two of them walked for a full half hour, the corridor finally came to an end.

Soon, a spacious and bright hall appeared in front of the two.

There are many moonstones in the hall, emitting bright light.

On the broken formations, lights of various colors appeared and disappeared from time to time.

Chen Xuan was alert. After looking around for a while, his eyes quickly looked at a painting on the wall.

In the painting, a fairy with an enchanting figure and outstanding temperament is standing proudly.

There was actually a line of small characters below the calligraphy and painting.

It was actually written in extremely rare ancient characters.

"Written by the Jade Fire Fairy herself? Could this be the Jade Fire Fairy's cave?"
