Cultivation: I have an omnipotent land

Chapter 20 Entering the Battle

"What do you two think?" Wei Niang asked, looking at the two of them.

"Uncle Ye, Sister Wei, I think we need to think this through carefully. It's too risky for us to just barge in like this."

Although Liu Di and her group were all eccentric, their overall strength was not weak. The fact that they lost members within a quarter of an hour after entering the magic array proved how dangerous it was.

If the three of them were to recklessly charge into the formation like Liu Di, they would surely suffer a great loss.

"That's right. This array compass is damaged, and we don't know how much of a use it will have. To be on the safe side, I think it would be best to find a fellow Daoist who is proficient in arrays to help break the array," Ye Lin nodded and said.

"I do know someone who is proficient in formations," Wei Niang said with a smile.

"Who is it?"

"Mine owner Mo Qing."

"It's him." Ye Lin nodded.

He was quite familiar with Old Mo; he had dealt with him before when he was in the law enforcement team, and they had some acquaintance.

This person has lived in Wuyifang for many years and has a good reputation; he is someone who cherishes his reputation.

Although Ye Lin didn't want more people to get involved, he also had to consider the current situation. The news of this cultivator's cave had already been leaked, so it wasn't very safe anymore.

Therefore, the formation must be broken immediately. Master Mo is a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator. If he comes, he will definitely take control, but at the same time, everyone will be safer.

After all, if this were the cave dwelling of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, who knows what dangers might be inside? Even if you want to be greedy, you have to be alive to take it.

"Brother Ye, given the current situation, Elder Mo is indeed the most suitable candidate. Moreover, I have another suggestion that I hope you will consider."

"Go ahead and say it."

"Brother Ye, now that you've left the enforcement team, and with a long road ahead of you, would you be willing to join the mine? My brother Xiao Ming and I can vouch for you."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ming nodded in agreement; it was indeed a good method.

Ye Lin glanced at Wei Niang, then at Xiao Ming, and after weighing the pros and cons, finally agreed.

The three finally reached a consensus, and Wei Niang didn't dare to delay. She walked to the side and whistled.

A little while later, a small yellow bird flew over, and Wei Niang took out a note that she had already written and stuffed it into the bird's body.

"This oriole is my pet bird. Although it's just an ordinary bird, it's quite intelligent. I've always used it to deliver messages, and it's never failed me. I believe it won't be long before Elder Mo, who has received the message, arrives," Wei Niang said with a smile.

Ye Lin nodded, and together with Xiao Ming cleaned up the scene, cremates all the bodies.

As for the loot they collected, the three of them roughly divided it up. Since most of the items belonged to female cultivators, they were given to Wei Niang. Ye Lin took most of the spirit stones, and after playing with a jade pendant, he tossed it to Xiao Ming.

"This Spirit Stream Pendant is a life-saving treasure. Since your cultivation level is the lowest, Xiao Ming, I'll give it to you."

"Thank you, Uncle Ye." Xiao Ming smiled and accepted the jade pendant.

"The items are good, but you must remember that they belong to Shi Huai. He is an inner disciple sent down by the sect to oversee the market. His power in Wuyi Market is unshakeable, so never reveal them unless it is a matter of life and death, lest you be killed," Uncle Ye solemnly reminded him.

"I understand." Xiao Ming put the jade pendant into his pocket.

The three of them found a huge rock and sat down to meditate.

An hour later, Xiao Ming, who was cultivating, suddenly heard a noise; rocks were sliding down the cliff above him.

Ye Lin and Wei Niang were also awakened. They exchanged a glance and both placed their hands on their storage bags warily.

Two figures descended from the sky and arrived in front of the three of them; it was Old Mo and Tiger.

Upon arriving, Elder Mo did not immediately mention the cultivator's cave dwelling. Instead, he strode up to Ye Lin and laughed heartily as he spoke.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, it is truly my honor to have you join my mine."

"Senior Mo, I will be grateful for your guidance in the future." Ye Lin cupped his hands in a gesture of respect as a junior.

"We're family, no need to call each other two. Just call me Old Mo from now on."

After exchanging a few simple pleasantries, the two finally steered the conversation toward the cave's magical formation.

"Judging from this formation, it is indeed a Foundation Establishment formation," Elder Mo said thoughtfully after observing the formation for a while.

Hearing this, the three were glad they had made the right choice. They were glad they hadn't overestimated themselves and barged in, otherwise their fate wouldn't have been much better than Liu Di's.

Elder Mo, however, was somewhat excited. Although this was a Foundation Establishment Formation, it had been around for a long time, and some of the earth's veins and spiritual points had changed, causing the formation's power to decrease considerably.

Therefore, the cave dwelling of the deceased cultivator that the three people speculated about is very likely true.

"Old Mo, see if this will work." Wei Niang took out the broken compass.

"It really is a formation compass, what a pity." Old Mo took the compass and examined it for a long time. He first nodded, then shook his head.

"Old Mo, what do you mean by 'it's a pity'?" Xiao Ming asked.

"The compass of this formation is severely damaged, and its controllability has been greatly reduced. If we want to shut down this formation, we may have to go deep into the formation and find the central hub of the formation."

"So we still have to charge into the formation?"

"It's alright. After all, we have the array compass in hand, so we still have some ability to protect ourselves," Elder Mo comforted us.

Led by Elder Mo, the group entered the magic array.

As soon as the group entered, they felt a blur before their eyes. When they came to their senses, they found that the low cliff in front of them suddenly rose, and a waterfall cascaded down from the sky, falling into a pool to form a stream. On both sides of the stream were large bamboo forests, and a gentle breeze carried the fragrance of bamboo leaves.

The group, who had just been in the Valley of Blazing Fire, now felt as if they had entered a famous mountain scenic spot.

"Be careful, this might be an illusion array," Elder Mo explained.

Xiao Ming squatted down and reached out to touch the stream water, feeling a cool sensation on his fingertips.

"The tactile sensation of this illusion is so real," Xiao Ming exclaimed in amazement.

"Although its power has been reduced, this is still a Foundation Establishment level magic array."

Sensing everything around him, Elder Mo was also shocked. He was secretly glad that the formation had been neglected for many years and its power had weakened, otherwise it would not have been something that a group of Qi Refining cultivators like them could break.

Old Mo, holding a broken compass, walked at the front, heading into the bamboo forest.

"sough······"

A gentle breeze blows, and the green bamboo sways in the wind, shedding its leaves one by one.

However, at that moment, two emerald green shadows suddenly rushed out, taking advantage of the cover of the bamboo leaves, and pounced on the group.

However, Elder Mo had anticipated this and threw two fireballs, blasting the thing away. Only then did everyone realize that the emerald green thing was Qinghong, hidden behind the bamboo leaves.

After the two blue rainbows were killed, their bodies immediately disappeared into the ground, as if they had never existed.

Xiao Ming, standing to the side, channeled his spiritual energy through his fingertips, and a beam of green light flew out from the storage bag at his waist.

His spiritual senses guided his flying sword, which darted up and down through the bamboo forest. In no time, the bamboo within a hundred meters was all felled. Some small green snakes landed on the ground, hissed at the group, and then disappeared into the depths of the bamboo forest.

The felled bamboo stalks rotted and disappeared into the ground at a visible rate.

At the same time, a slight sound came from the ground, and bamboo shoots broke through the soil and grew rapidly at a visible speed, forming a bamboo forest again.

During this process, sturdy bamboo roots suddenly emerged from the ground, binding the legs of the group. More bamboo roots grew out, forming a cage.

Flames reappeared at Xiao Ming's fingertips, transforming into a fire snake that burned the bamboo roots that were binding him to ashes. The others also displayed their unique abilities and quickly broke free from their restraints.

"Get out of here quickly!" Old Mo shouted hurriedly as he saw the bamboo roots growing continuously.

The group left quickly, running a long distance before stopping. Just then, they heard the sound of water, so they hurried forward for another few dozen meters and saw the waterfall flowing down the cliff again.

"We've come all this way and ended up back here again." Xiao Ming bent down and looked at the stream in front of him.

"There is reality within illusion, illusion within reality; a mirage, a trap, a killing formation—it is indeed a troublesome array," Old Mo mused.
