Chapter 820 Embedded Formation
Youming was unaware that, because he had failed to conceal his ruthlessness, Cao Yi had already sentenced him to death.

At this moment, he had no choice but to follow Cao Yi's orders and walk back and forth at a steady pace. His soul power was also draining faster. Half an hour later, his cultivation level dropped by one level, from the peak of the Nascent Soul stage back to the late Nascent Soul stage, and his body became even weaker.

Cao Yi had also grasped a certain pattern. He nodded to Yun Xi, who then used her divine sense to pull the increasingly terrified You Ming into the range of the energy shield. This restored You Ming's complexion to normal. He took out a soul stone and began to absorb it, hoping to replenish his losses as soon as possible.

Cao Yi had already begun to deduce the formation. Based on the data he had just obtained, he was quite certain that there was a formation here, most likely a composite formation, and he was analyzing its composition.

Yunxi did not join Xunkun and the others, but stayed where she was, staring at Youming who was cultivating. The other party would be of great use to her later.

A deathly silence fell over the surroundings, with only gusts of cold wind blowing, stirring up pebbles from the desolate Gobi Desert, and seemingly carrying with it a series of unwilling howls.

Youming was startled awake by the howl and saw Yunxi sitting cross-legged opposite him, resting her chin on her hand. Her almond-shaped eyes seemed to see right through his soul, which made him subconsciously move back a little.

"Youming, what did you hear?"

Yunxi was a little bored, so she asked directly after seeing the other party's reaction.

Youming looked around. All he could see was a flat wasteland, a dark sky, and occasional pebbles being blown by the wind. It seemed that the howling he had heard earlier was just his imagination.

But under Yunxi's gaze, he still said:
"I heard howling sounds; they must be the lingering attachments left behind after the soul dissipated."

Although he took a shortcut to raise his cultivation to the Void Refinement stage, he still knew the common knowledge about soul cultivation.

After thinking for a while, Yunxi deduced that it was probably the obsession left behind by the ghost cultivators who had been sent here by the "gate" before. Among them, the powerful ghost cultivators who had attained the Dao should be the clues left by them.

"What did they say?"

Youming shook his head and said:
"No, it was just a scream."

Yunxi didn't believe Youming's words. At this moment, Cao Yi had already put away the divination array plate and said to Yunxi:

"Your Majesty, let's go back first. I've made a discovery here."

"it is good."

Yunxi flipped her hand and took out the Soul-Gathering Mirror, putting the unwilling Youming back into it before returning to her previous residence.

The group of people who had been meditating opened their eyes, and Master Wuwang was the first to speak:

"Amitabha! Has Master Cao made any discovery?"

"Yes."

Cao Yi didn't keep them in suspense; instead, he directly revealed his discovery:

"Just now, Venerable Ranxi and I used the Ghost Cultivator's Inscription to explore the way. Based on the direction of the flow of soul power, we discovered that there is a complex formation underground here."

After further analysis, I discovered that the formation here is an ancient soul-sealing formation. As for whose soul is being sealed, I don't need to say, you all should know.

However, the evil cultivator used some unknown method to embed a formation plate into the Soul-Sealing Formation, prying open a crack. He then used the plate to forcibly extract soul power and send it into the formation, nourishing the sealed soul. Once the soul awakens, it might use this crack to escape.

After Cao Yi finished speaking, everyone understood the purpose of the heretical cultivators.

Master Wuwang asked:

"Master Cao, could you please destroy this embedded array plate that extracts soul power?"

Cao Yi nodded and said:
“Yes, but the crack has already appeared. If it cannot be repaired, the evil god's soul will eventually escape. The Soul Sealing Array is an ancient formation. Although I have this formation in my inherited array, it is set up with divine runes, which I do not understand.” At this point, Cao Yi looked at Yun Xi. Ren Tianning naturally saw this and asked:
"Master Cao, are you looking at Fellow Daoist Ranxi like that because she understands divine script?"

Cao Yi shook his head and said:

"Your Excellency has only come into contact with divine script. Before the Weiyu Realm returned to the Spirit Domain, Your Excellency and Fellow Daoist Xunkun were trapped in the 'Mountains and Rivers Scroll,' where the seal of the evil spirit was hidden. The seal used divine script to trap the evil god's weapon, 'Dragon Fang.' I once made a copy for research, but I have never been able to fully understand it."

Yunxi didn't deny it after hearing this, but she said:
"Since it can't be repaired, let's not repair it. Let's just send the evil god's soul into the Soul-Gathering Mirror so that the evil cultivators can't find it. Let's see how they can help the evil god nurture his soul then."

"Amitabha! Fellow Daoist Ranxi's unconventional approach should have a remarkable effect."

Fox Handsome's fox-like eyes darted around as he said:

“But by doing this, aren’t we indirectly releasing the evil god’s soul? What if he awakens and tries to possess a cultivator? The Soul-Gathering Mirror can hold the evil god’s soul, but it may not be able to seal it for long.”

Ren Tianning echoed this after hearing it:

“Indeed, if that’s the case, we’ve done more harm than good and ended up helping the evil cultivators.”

Yunxi said rather irresponsibly:
"It's alright. The Soul-Gathering Mirror is just a temporary dwelling place for the evil god's soul. I will send the Soul-Gathering Mirror back to the Underworld later. I believe Lord Yama has plenty of ways to deal with this wisp of soul."

After listening to Yunxi's words, everyone felt that this was a good idea. As for how to implement it, everyone turned their attention to Yunxi, Xunkun, and Cao Yi, since these three were the main force.

Cao Yi took a deep breath and said:
"Please give me some time, everyone. I will try to figure out how to break this embedded array plate, so as not to widen the gaps in the Soul Sealing Array and not to disturb the sleeping evil spirits."

No one objected, and Yunxi simply replaced Cao Yi's four-layer array plate with a Hong energy shield so that everyone would not have to worry about the loss of soul power and could maintain a good mindset.

Master Wuwang also approached Yunxi and began to inquire about the origin of the Hong energy shield.

Yunxi attributed the origin of the treasure to the secret realm she had explored, and it was the first time she had entered such a realm. In any case, she was in charge of whatever was inside the secret realm.

Three days passed, and just as Cao Yi's deductions were coming to an end, someone broke into their area.

After a flash of golden light, a fierce blizzard forced those chasing behind to retreat.

Master Wuwang, Yun Yi, and Han Baifeng, who were inside the energy shield, immediately stood up. Yun Xi also looked thoughtfully at the source of the energy fluctuations. Xun Kun, who was beside Yun Xi, came to her side and said:
"I sensed familiar spiritual energy fluctuations."

Yunxi narrowed her eyes and said:

"It's Yun Chen and Han Lian."

"Why are they here?"

"They didn't return after completing their mission; they must have gone to explore the unknown areas of the ancient battlefield. Unexpectedly, they were besieged by evil cultivators."

After Yunxi finished speaking, she turned to Master Wuwang beside her and said:
"I'll go and bring them back, and take care of the trouble while I'm at it. I'll trouble you, Master, to guard this place."

"Amitabha! Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist Ranxi."

Master Wuwang, seeing Cao Yi still engrossed in his deductions, chose to remain where he was.

Ren Tianning was unfamiliar with the two cultivators being besieged, so she didn't act rashly. However, she could tell that Xun Kun knew them, so she asked:

"Are you acquainted with them?"
