#1104 - Chapter 1104 Candidate

The next second, those tightly clenched hands slowly loosened.

Wen Lin's eyes had already turned somewhat bloodshot, and she smiled, "Don't worry, I won't let you die in vain."

——

Wen Lin arrived at another dark room. The lights inside were dim, but it was clear to see that there was a bed, and lying on the bed was Elder Cang.

Wen Lin walked up to Elder Cang, her aura gradually rising, and a steady stream of spiritual power gathered in her palm.

Wen Lin expressionlessly began to cast a spell to rescue Elder Cang.

After a moment, Elder Cang's complexion gradually became rosy, and his body temperature also returned, but he still hadn't woken up.

Wen Lin didn't continue casting the spell, but instead took out a Resonant Bell.

The Resonant Bell was very small, refined during the ancient times, and after the passage of time, it had not been damaged in the slightest, indestructible.

The Resonant Bell, with just a gentle shake, emits a crisp and melodious bell sound that can briefly disturb people's minds. However, if the Resonant Bell is used in front of someone with an unclear consciousness, the sound it emits can cause the person's cognition to become confused, making them believe that the person ringing the bell is the only one they should obey.

Wen Lin shook the Resonant Bell in her hand five times, each time emitting a loud sound.

After the five rings, Wen Lin stopped.

The person on the bed gradually began to stir, their eyelids twitching slightly, as if they were about to open in the next second.

Elder Cang was lying on the bed, and he clearly dreamed that he was in a pitch-black room where he couldn't see his fingers.

The room was very large, so much so that he kept running frantically, trying to find an exit, but no matter how he ran, he couldn't find the end.

Elder Cang was physically exhausted and stopped his desire to survive helplessly.

At that moment, a pressure seemed to appear in the darkness, as if to devour him.

Elder Cang soon felt dizzy, and his head became somewhat muddled.

Elder Cang, lying on the bed, struggled violently as if he had been frightened, and after a moment, the movement stopped.

Elder Cang had already opened his eyes.

He didn't say a word, but just got up and stood up, standing beside Wen Lin.

After waking up, Elder Cang's eyes became hollow, and he didn't speak, as if he had completely changed into a different person.

With a wave of her hand, Wen Lin conjured up an iron mask that was still being quenched and handed it to Elder Cang.

Elder Cang seemed to know what Wen Lin meant, took it, and then put it on expressionlessly.

When the scorching hot mask touched his face, it made a sizzling sound of skin breaking and flesh tearing, which sounded painful, but Elder Cang didn't react at all.

The iron mask was completely welded to his face, covering his original appearance.

In逍遥峰 (Xiāo Yáo Fēng/ Free and Unfettered Peak), after a few days of adjustment, it returned to its former calm. The disciples cultivated diligently, and Ye Kong idled and fished.

It was as if nothing had happened, and everything started from the beginning.

"Ding-dong!"

A sudden mechanical sound rang in his mind, and Ye Kong suddenly woke up.

"System, are you working again?"

The frequency of the system's appearance had greatly decreased in recent days, and Ye Kong couldn't help but doubt the system's feasibility.

The system ignored Ye Kong's crude words.

"Ding~ The host has experienced many hardships, overcome numerous obstacles, and his experience has greatly improved. Now, the cultivation world can no longer accommodate you."

Ye Kong frowned and his lips twitched slightly.

This, how does this sound a little awkward.

"Therefore, we are now opening a new field of cognition for the host, the Upper Realm."

The Upper Realm is the divine realm above the cultivation world. For hundreds of years, even cultivators in the Great Emperor Realm have found it difficult to enter, let alone others.

Within the Divine Realm, there is no distinction between good and evil. Gods are not gods, and demons are not demons. They have no emotions for the people of the cultivation world.

Ye Kong had never explored other realms besides the cultivation world, and he was also full of curiosity about this Upper Realm that the system was talking about.

"System, how do I enter the Upper Realm?" Ye Kong asked the key question. A place that exists must have an existing entrance.

And the location of that entrance needs to be answered by the system.

"Ding~ Freely enjoy yourself in the mortal world."

The system was just a simple reminder, and Ye Kong immediately reacted. It was 逍遥峰 (Xiāo Yáo Fēng/ Free and Unfettered Peak)!

The system didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "There is an ancient formation at the spiritual vein of 逍遥峰 (Xiāo Yáo Fēng/ Free and Unfettered Peak) - the Ten Absolute Formation. This formation requires the host and nine disciples to work together to activate it in order to open it."

"Can I enter the Upper Realm by opening the Ten Absolute Formation?"

The system did not continue to answer.

Ye Kong didn't care and thought about which nine disciples to use.

The next morning, Ye Kong didn't sit quietly in the thatched cottage as usual, but came to the spiritual vein of 逍遥峰 (Xiāo Yáo Fēng/ Free and Unfettered Peak) early in the morning.

The spiritual vein was severely damaged at the beginning, but after the passage of time, it has recovered a lot.

The system told Ye Kong the approximate range of the Ten Absolute Formation, and as soon as Ye Kong arrived, he wandered around, looking for traces of the ancient formation.

And in a circular pit not far from the spiritual vein, Ye Kong noticed something was wrong.

The circular pit was full of weeds, as if concealing something to hide it from people's eyes.

Ye Kong waved his hand, and a gust of evil wind struck, blowing the weeds to one side.

Ye Kong saw some runes hidden under the weeds.

With a flick of his hand, the weeds disappeared instantly, without a trace.

The array plate hidden under the weeds was also revealed.

The array plate was a very large circular stone plate with strange and incomprehensible runes on it, which looked extremely strange.

Ye Kong jumped and landed directly on the array plate, observing it carefully.

Ye Kong found that the dust on the array plate was very thick, and it must have been a long time since anyone had been here. The surrounding walls were cut neatly, which looked like artificial traces, but who put this array plate here?

Ye Kong didn't know everything, and he didn't need to know these things.

After checking, Ye Kong guessed that this should be the key to opening the Ten Absolute Formation that the system said.

After finding the ancient formation, Ye Kong returned to the sect.

Everything is ready except for the opportunity, and Ye Kong is still choosing this opportunity.

When Ye Kong came back, it was just time for dinner. Ye Kong looked at his disciples and had a choice in his heart.

After finishing the meal, Ye Kong summoned all the disciples to Maple Leaf Evening Hall.

The disciples speculated, wondering what the mission was this time.

Everyone gathered together, Ye Kong sat in a high position, still with a calm face and a cold temperament, with a sense of distance that rejected people thousands of miles away.

The disciples were used to seeing Ye Kong like this, but this time, they felt some pressure.

"Today, the master has something important to announce. The master needs nine disciples to open an ancient formation with him."

As soon as these words came out, the disciples looked at each other, and in an instant, they all raised their hands, and their enthusiasm was extremely strong.

Ye Kong looked at everyone calmly. These disciples he had accepted were all obedient.

Ye Kong coughed lightly, and then said, "The master already has a choice in his heart for this matter."
