CHAPTER 1432: CHAPTER 856

"These things are all over the place, collect them if you want!"

Jiang Tang glanced indifferently at the broken bones and the shattered magic artifacts on the ground!

These might be things used by the dead, but he didn’t care for them!

Ye Tian took this advice and also wouldn’t randomly pick up things, but some bones that belonged to divine beasts or were already the marrow of immortal demons?

These all had research value and could still be used for artifact refining, and he’d take the useful pieces of broken magic artifacts.

Eryao and Green Ox would occasionally pick up some things too, as if they ventured into an ancient battleground!

This might be the underworld of some immortal, attacked and turned into the aftermath of a great battle!

They didn’t perceive any living creatures here, despite the formations making them feel like this place was a city of the dead!

Why was there such a dead city in this secret realm?

Jiang Tang only wanted to enter a building, the largest one in the city—a mansion, or perhaps, a castle!

A grand area, unlike the shops on the street and other houses, the treasure inside was more expansive!

Even the castle had a formation; opening it wasn’t an easy task!

Jiang Tang had studied formations, albeit basic ones; now he had to rely on his own ability to open it!

A normal divinity transformation stage human could open this formation, as it was considerably weakened!

The secret realm’s restriction targeted nascent soul stage cultivators, and those demons weren’t very formidable!

Those attempting to protect this ancient city couldn’t enter; the biggest reason was they simply couldn’t get in!

The city’s formations had restricted them; unable to enter and bewitched by the formations, they were compelled at any cost to block outside creatures!

According to the abilities of outside cultivators, they were truly hindered, spending over 20 days unable to even approach the ancient city, let alone enter!

There might be array masters among them, but were those array masters impressive?

Such formidable formations, still so powerful after ten thousand years, can truly be described as extraordinary!

With such extraordinary formations, those cultivators simply couldn’t get in; more than 20 days of battling, yet only gazing at the city from afar!

The designer of the secret realm, intentional or seeking opportunity unknown!

Perhaps thinking many adhere to rules, not letting external magic artifacts reveal their inherent abilities!

Perhaps someone tried, yet was expelled by the secret realm if they were below or above nascent soul stage.

Jiang Tang lacked the ability to open the formations, yet his abilities could tear them apart!

But he still gave those around him a chance to open the formation!

"Ye Tian, can you manage to open it? If you can’t, let them try!"

Jiang Tang referred to Green Ox and Eryao!

"Alright, I’ll try. You all take a look too!"

Ye Tian had learned formations while refining, and could design and solve basic formations!

For advanced formations like these, it’s not just about solving it, but needing strong inherent abilities!

Ye Tian observed the formation before him, appearing designed as an Eight Trigrams Array but containing many smaller formations like Big Dipper Seven Stars, Loneliness Star Absolute Kill, constantly observing the mysteries within the formations!

In the past, Eryao could just strike with lightning, but not with the formation before him!

He was quite frustrated, quite frustrated; as strong as he was, faced with difficulties!

The formation before him was an obstacle, stopping him from proclaiming his incompetence!

How could he admit defeat?

Green Ox remained silent, aware of his abilities; dissection ability in formations wasn’t enough, foundational formations learned weren’t as good as theirs!

Not understanding, nor pretending to; never seen this formation before, yet must study!

Jiang Tang stood here as if the ancient city bore no eerie presence; this quiet ancient city, yet the formation incessantly emitted evil qi!

He seemed to sense constantly flickering figures, unfamiliar phenomena appearing within the formation!

For instance, ancient battles held within the city, the flickering bodies ahead, demonic beasts—they were immortals!

One after another, immortals fought fiercely for something, immortal demons against human immortals in intense conflict within this ancient city!

Each immortal was formidable and aimed to kill the other, dying while slaying their opponent!

These immortals and demons had all become immortals, such intense heavenly battles were just to contest over this ancient city!

This ancient city was an immortal mansion belonging to human immortals, the residence of the celestial king!

Immortal demons deployed numerous demons and united with devil demons to take this immortal mansion during an event, acting cordial but fighting!

A spark would lead to battle; in such a fierce battleground, surely some humans or demons escaped.
