Chapter 116 Source
Chongming said, "Burning it might break the formation and cause the tower to collapse."

"It's fallen, it's just a broken tower. Uh, or is there something special about this tower?" Juexing realized something was off as he spoke.

Chongming nodded: "If I'm not mistaken, this is a teleportation gate connecting the Taiyuan Realm to other realms, and each level represents a realm."

Unfortunately, it was artificially halted before it could fully evolve.

"The New World Gate that Que Yi mentioned?!" Shen Suiren and her friends exchanged glances.

Chongming nodded again: "Yes, when the thunderbolt exploded, I happened to catch a glimpse of the tower's shadow from the weak spatial node."

"Hmph, so even though I successfully avoided the explosion with Sui Chu and Junior Nephew Luo, you still brought me here." As he spoke, the Little Dragon King couldn't help but pat his little bottom.

He felt like someone had kicked his dragon's butt, and it turned out to be Chongming who did it.

"Aren't humans looking for a teleportation portal?" Chongming felt he was doing a good deed.

Luo Ning frowned: "But this gate has a blood pool array inside and a bone array outside. Can it continue to evolve?"

"Probably not, otherwise no one would have set up an array here specifically, especially one that overlaps and interweaves."

"We are still in a formation within a formation." Before Nie Chengzhang arrived, he had already flown over all the locations he had reached.

There are invisible barriers in many places, which means that breaking through one key point of the formation will only affect the area around the tower for miles.

Juexing agreed: "So what if it leads to another world? The Dragon Palace's teleportation portal has made the entire cultivation world feel like it's facing a great enemy."

With even more realms added, will I still be able to cultivate in peace?

"This tower is actually half destroyed." Shen Suiren looked up, recalling the piles of white bones he had just seen.
"The White Bone Stacking Yin Formation needs to be constantly filled with corpses in order to repeat the cycle."

Shaowu Mountain and Taiyi Sect fought for over three thousand years, providing much nourishment for this battle.

Within twenty-three years, another wave of beasts will likely be used for this purpose.

"You're inclined to break the formation and destroy the tower? Aren't you afraid your father will also be killed by the formation?" Chongming thought she would ask him to go in and save people.

Shen Suiren hesitated. According to her thinking, there can be no new beginning without destruction. But, "When you rushed in, did you see a way out?"

Ahem, she realized that Chongming didn't want the tower to collapse, so he wanted to call for reinforcements.

"I didn't see it," Chongming replied crisply.

The group gasped in unison, especially Little Dragon King, who angrily raised his little fists: "Chongming, there's no way out, yet you still charge in."

"Then why aren't you rushing into the tower now?"

Chongming spread his hands: "There's a blood pool; we can't rush in."

"You're covered in lightning, and so am I when I charge in."

"I flew out on my own," the Little Dragon King denied.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Suiren put him down and threw something into the tower gate. Several golden lights only spun around inside before being swept out.

It landed in front of them and instantly turned into gold dust.

"Gold cake?" Juexing took a bite and examined it.

Shen Suiren nodded, and when he examined the soul lamp again with his divine sense, the previous urgency was gone:
She glanced again at the white lanterns called "Soul-Capturing Lanterns" and instinctively felt that her father's soul had not been captured, otherwise the lanterns would not be able to light him after he died.

After a moment's thought, she said, "I can't make out the details of the formation inside."

However, outside, the White Bone Stacking Yin Array and the Nine Netherworld Lamp Array are intertwined, and there should also be the Great Zhou Heavenly Star Array.

"If we follow the core of the formation outwards, we'll eventually find a way out. Then the formation masters will gather here to break the formation."

"There's also the Great Zhou Heavenly Array? Oh, right, it's daytime now, the Star Array's effect will automatically slow down." Luo Ning immediately understood and agreed with her idea.

"Then let's use the array eye you just removed as a reference."

"Okay." The two made the decision happily and immediately set off, returning to the spot where the shady locust tree had emerged.

Nie Chengzhang followed without hesitation; he decided that everyone should use their brains, and he would support them with force.

Juexing was a step behind and transmitted his voice to Cheng Zhishun, who was just watching the show: "Do you think we can use our different fires together to break into the tower and burn the blood pool without damaging the tower?"

"As long as you can guarantee that the three of them won't start fighting as soon as they meet, I have no objection." Cheng Zhishun also felt that it was better to destroy the corrupted boundary gate.

It's possible that the excessive Yin energy absorbed by this broken tower is affecting the Nascent Soul stage of beings in the Taiyuan Realm.

Thinking of this, he reviewed everything that had happened since the Dragon Palace appeared, and shouted to the few people who were squatting on the ground writing: "At the beginning of the year, do you think that Que Yi might be a cultivator from another realm who came to the Taiyuan Realm to obstruct the formation of the teleportation gate?"

Shen Suiren and Luo Ning were doing calculations on the ground when he was distracted by Luo Ning's shout and made a mistake in the calculation. "It's probably... be quiet and don't talk."

"Yes, be quiet and don't disturb my sleep." Little Dragon King was small and needed a lot of sleep. Before he finished speaking, he was already hugging Chongming's leg and snoring.

When Chongming reluctantly picked him up, Shen Suiren had already decided on the next location.

After greeting Chongming, the group used their lightness technique to move diagonally forward.

Cheng Zhishun observed for a moment and then asked, "Prince Chongming, can't you lend a hand? The Eye of Truth should be able to calculate the array's core faster than them."

"I just refused to burn the blood pool, and at the beginning of the year I'm probably worried about being rejected again."

Moreover, she will break this formation. As he spoke, Chongming picked up the little dragon king and flew to the top of the tower to survey the surroundings.

She believes that when another key point of the formation is broken at the beginning of the year, the formation and its guardians will surely react.

Sure enough, as Shen Suiren and the others used their water spiritual power to create another yin locust tree, a spatial ripple flashed in Chongming's vision.

As the tree was pierced by green leaves, she heard a faint clicking sound from the bottom of the tower. "At the beginning of the year, seven on the left and nine on the right, quickly move on to the next array eye."

"Coming right away." Shen Suiren and the others exchanged smiles, quickly arrived at the location, and soon another shady locust tree was destroyed.

This time, Chongming heard an even louder cracking sound, and she gave the order again without hesitation.

With their combined efforts, two more array nodes were removed, and five out of nine of the Nine Netherworld Lamp Arrays were eliminated. The remaining array nodes were all outside the invisible barrier that was blocking them.

Shen Suiren said with slight regret, "We can only break through tonight when the stars appear."

"I need a rest. I feel very tired even though I didn't exert too much effort." In fact, Luo Ning has a single water spiritual root. The transformation of water into bone consumes a lot of water spiritual power. She and Sui Chu take turns as the main cultivators, with one sword and one Buddhist cultivation as secondary. After continuously pulling formations, she is indeed tired.

With the five array eyes no longer restricting him, Chongming accurately pinpointed the location of the spatial ripples, transformed into a bird, and rushed over: "I'll go and bring the Nascent Soul cultivators in."

"Hey!" Unreliable. Cheng Zhishun watched as the Little Dragon King tumbled down from the top of the tower and really wanted to complain about Chongming.

However, the opponent had already rushed into the spatial rift, and it was Nie Chengzhang who caught the Little Dragon King with his sword.

But he didn't immediately land his flying sword. Instead, he stopped on the fifth floor and saw a large millstone turning inside through the half-open window.

It was wrapped with layers of chains, moving silently with the millstone.

"What's wrong?" It was just the Xuanjing Iron Chain, but Cheng Zhishun saw an incredulous expression on his face.

"Juexing, Suichu, Fellow Daoist Luo, come up and take a look." He called out to the three of them in one breath before saying to Cheng Zhishun, "Take a good look at that knot."

"Sock..."

"What's the clasp?" Several people peered over from their flying swords, but Shen Suiren and Juexing couldn't see anything special about it.

While learning weapon crafting from his master, Luo Ning quickly discovered a blind spot amidst the constant rotation of the chain: "The mark is from the Alliance Weapon Department."

"Elder Chu? That was the time when Senior Sister Huang's sister claimed that the communication talisman given by her nephew was problematic." Shen Suiren immediately thought of this.

Juexing rubbed his eyes: "Where is the mark? Who put this chain on him...?"

He couldn't bring himself to say "buy," because judging from the intricate layout of the interwoven chains and the mechanisms that allowed it to be cast on the spot by a master craftsman.

His thoughts ran wild: "The Alliance Elders not only crafted tools, but also knew the location of the New Territories Gate, while the other sects did not."

Cheng Zhishun frowned deeply inside the space room: "It's terrifying to think about."

"Is it collusion between the alliance and outsiders, or is there a problem with individual elders?"

"How much did Elder Woxiang get involved? Will he betray our master in the Xuanhuang Realm?" Luo Ning was very worried.

Shen Suiren looked in the direction Chongming flew away: "When Grandmaster and the others receive the news, they will definitely send messages to all parties as soon as possible. Even if only a few people come in, they will be notified in advance."

By the way, Elder Chu of the Alliance doesn't seem to be out much.

“He possesses advanced refining techniques for artifacts such as the Tongxuan Mirror, and many people line up to buy them every day.” Juexing said, glancing at Nie Chengzhang, who was frowning.

He hesitated for a moment before asking, "Could it be that he used the Tongxuan Mirror you were using to sabotage you?"

"I want to open it now, but I can't open the storage ring."

Fortunately, it was only Ji Yu and his master who played with it before, and it wasn't used to convey any important matters. Nie Chengzhang always treated it as a toy to coax the little divine beast.

"There's no use thinking so much. Let's take advantage of the open window and check the situation on each floor." As Cheng Zhishun gave this reminder, Chongming on the other side had already successfully flown out of this space.

Zhu Kuang Zhenjun was the first to notice her: "Chongming, are the children in the space room?"

"Medicine." The moment Chongming returned to human form, she collapsed to the ground. Situ Shiyuan quickly fed her the medicine, but she didn't react for a long time.

The Guardian True Lord said, "It seems we have indeed fallen into some kind of magic formation. Strangely, we cannot find any trace of the formation."

Could it be some ancient ruin? After fighting the demon race for so many years, even though this place is close to the heart of Shaowu Mountain, someone should have noticed something about it.

"It doesn't matter where it is, as long as we can find the location." Zhu Kuang checked the small space hut that Chongming had brought, but there was no one inside.

"These Foundation Establishment cultivators will be sent to the Taiyi Sect for rest by the Shen family and Shouzhuo." In reality, they will be kept under guard.

The Foundation Establishment cultivator who previously revealed himself is someone everyone claims not to know, as if he appeared out of thin air, which is impossible.

Shen Duzhou thought that his role here was really not significant, so he nodded: "Thank you for your trouble, True Lord. I will go back and discuss it further."

He suspected that the thunderbolt was planted by Lian Qiao, and he wanted to investigate it from the source.

Shouzhuo had something to say, but his senior brother shook his head and stopped him: "You are already injured, and now you can't go to the place where even Chongming Wang was injured when he came and went."

Don't worry, I will bring peace and safety home at the beginning of the year.

"Thank you, senior brother."

"Next time, try not to bring Bai Yu and Sui Chu to meet."

“I know, we can find Dingru. Baiyu has benefited from his kindness and will not shrink back.”

"Forget it, let's go back." Shouchi Zhenjun suddenly lost the mood to talk to him. He was just reminding him not to protect Baiyu in front of Suichu.

They sold you the Longevity Pill at a low price years ago; it was out of kindness. Don't squander it.

Out of sight, out of mind. After seeing his junior brother off, Shouchi turned around and met Zhukuang's ambiguous smile.

"Ahem, fellow Daoist, when will Chongming wake up?"

"almost."

Chongming was very accommodating; she opened her eyes almost as soon as Zhu Kuang Zhenjun finished speaking.

"Prince Chongming, is your spirit unwell?" Even though Situ Shiyuan was anxious, he still prepared some top-grade spiritual honey water for her to drink.

Chongming drank it all in one gulp: "We have seen a new teleportation gate."

"Where?" The two Nascent Soul cultivators immediately lost their composure.

Meanwhile, two of the Spoon Crow Demon Kings, who had been secretly observing the cultivators' movements, flew over in an instant. "Did King Chongming really see the boundary gate?"

Chongming glanced at the two bird clansmen and asked, "You haven't sensed anything from the Peacock Clan's mountains and forests all these years?"

The two birds glanced at the Guardian True Lord and said, "Since the Peacock King fell, that area has become a forbidden zone, and we cannot easily enter it."

"Who designated this forbidden area? Does the Peacock Clan even have a ninth rank?" Chongming was a bird that excelled at learning. During her seclusion in the Demon Court, she borrowed a large amount of jade slip information to learn about the Taiyuan Realm.

In the past few days, I have read through all the jade slips except for Shen Suiren's cultivation method.

The various factions in the Taiyuan Realm, regardless of whether they are human or demon, are generally aware of the situation.

The two bird clans exchanged a glance and decided to tell the truth: the beast lake was being attacked every now and then, which was getting tiresome for them.

But now the demons of Shaowu want to give up, while the Taiyi Sect wants revenge again and again, and it's no use trying to persuade them to stop.

One bird said, "They have three eighth-level beings. Back then, one of them, under the influence of the Sparrow King, also befriended the human race. The Sparrow Forest was a forbidden formation that he set up with the human race three thousand years ago."

"Who is it?" Lord Shouchi immediately asked.

The two birds remained silent. Chongming thought to himself that the man was probably long dead. "Take us in," he said.

The two birds hesitated: "This... King Chongming, the Sparrow Forest is, after all, the place where the Sparrow King returns to. We need the consent of Elder Jinwu and the other two eighth-level peacocks, but the elder is in seclusion."

"The other two are at the eighth rank? What about the one that first befriended the human race and set up the formation?" True Monarch Zhu Kuang suspected that the person that contacted was Que Yi from three thousand years ago.

Another bird said, "They perished while advancing to the ninth level."

The two True Lords, Zhu Kuang and Shou Chi, exchanged a glance. "When?"

"It was about four or five hundred years ago, roughly that long ago."

"Have you ever seen this person?" With a thought, Zhu Kuang Zhenjun drew the appearance of Que Yi's primordial spirit in the air.

The two birds examined it carefully. "It looks familiar, like I've seen it before, but I also feel like I haven't."

"Whether we're familiar with each other or not, we'll discuss that later. You two, go find Elder Jinwu right now."

"Tell me that the Little Dragon King is trapped inside, and we must activate the formation, otherwise the elders of the Demon Court will arrive in no time." Chongming didn't want to break through the weak points in the space again; going in and out was too harmful to his body.

The two birds were dumbfounded: Why are they using the Demon Court to suppress birds?
"Not going?" Chongming's eyes immediately revealed double pupils.

"Go, right away!" The two birds swooped away.

Only then did True Lord Zhu Kuang inquire about the details, and in no time, the news was sent to all the sects.

As an elder of the Alliance, Elder Chu naturally received the first-hand information. He sat quietly in the cultivation room for a long time before finally walking to the table and sighing, "Que Yi, what do you think Lian Qiao did this time to make them find the New Realm Gate ahead of schedule?"

Within the tai chi fish plate before him, a spherical primordial spirit floated slowly as if trying to answer.
