A mortal, starting with the Heavenly Bottle!

Six months later, Lin Fan, along with Zhou Yuan, the sect leader of Miaoyin Sect, and Xin Ruyin, a master of formations, were flying rapidly over a remote sea area.

Breaking the seal was such an important task that the formation master Xin Ruyin was naturally indispensable.

According to Zhou Yuan's intelligence, they were not too far from the deserted island.

Sure enough, not long after, an island appeared before the three of them. This island was exactly as described in the intelligence, extremely vast, with a radius of over a thousand miles.

The island is dotted with countless hills and slopes, all of which are gray and yellow, with not a trace of green to be found.

Upon seeing the deserted island, Lin Fan breathed a slight sigh of relief, but to ensure everything went smoothly, he turned to Zhou Yuan beside him and asked:

"Sect Leader Zhou, this should be the island, right?"

"There should be no mistake. Within a radius of a thousand miles, only this island best matches the appearance described by you, fellow Daoist. If it is not this place, then we can only go and find another island."

Along their journey, they had searched for several similar islands, but ultimately found nothing.

Although it took a considerable amount of time, it was nothing for cultivators like them.

After all, their cultivation levels were not weak, and their lifespans were long, so they wouldn't care about a year or two.

Even if it takes three to five years, they won't mind too much.

"Alright, let's go to the island."

After the three of them approached the island, Lin Fan spoke directly.

Neither Zhou Yuan, the sect leader of Miaoyin Sect, nor Xin Ruyin, the formation master, had any objection to Lin Fan's words.

As soon as they finished speaking, the three of them landed on the deserted island.

The first thing they did after landing on the island was to split up and search for the sealed place that Lin Fan had mentioned.

The three worked together seamlessly, having already experienced similar searches several times before.

No one said anything at that moment, and they each went off in different directions to search.

……

About half an hour later, Xin Ruyin sent Lin Fan a spiritual message: Found it!

Upon receiving Xin Ruyin's spiritual message, Lin Fan rushed over as quickly as possible, fearing that Xin Ruyin might encounter some danger.

Xin Ruyin is arguably the most important person in his life, and he absolutely cannot afford to have any mishaps with her.

If it weren't for breaking the formation, he would never have brought Xin Ruyin to such a dangerous place.

At the same time, Zhou Yuan, the sect leader of Miaoyin Sect, rushed towards the direction from which the spiritual message came as quickly as possible.

A moment later, the three of them gathered in front of a yellow earthen hill. The hill was several thousand meters high and was entirely yellowish-brown, without a trace of green, giving people an extremely oppressive feeling.

"Are you sure this is the right place? There's no mistake, is there?"

"Brother Lin, once you get closer and try it, you'll know the answer."

In response to Lin Fan's question, Xin Ruyin smiled mysteriously.

Hearing this, Lin Fan nodded and flew straight toward the yellow earthen hill. As soon as he got close...

Suddenly, a fierce wind arose, with sand and stones flying everywhere. Then, an endless gale swept outwards, turning the surrounding area into a world of sand and dust, where one could not see their own hand in front of their face.

Upon seeing this scene, neither Lin Fan nor Zhou Yuan and Xin Ruyin showed any panic on their faces, but rather were filled with joy.

Immediately, Xin Ruyin and Zhou Yuan also set off, flying towards the direction where Lin Fan was.

However, they were all surrounded by protective spiritual light, so there was nothing wrong with them.

A moment later, the three of them arrived near a yellow fog that covered an area of ​​about one mile and stopped.

Looking at the yellow mist in front of him, Lin Fan frowned deeply. He knew he had found the right place, but the problem now was how to break the formation in front of him.

"This is a trapping and killing formation with both earth and wind attributes. Brother Lin and Sect Master Zhou, I would like to trouble you two to protect me. You can leave the rest of the task of breaking the formation to me."

As soon as Xin Ruyin finished speaking, Lin Fan and Zhou Yuan exchanged a glance. Neither of them had any objections and immediately agreed.

"There's no problem with that, but you must be extra careful and not be careless in the slightest."

Although it is certain that Xin Ruyin can easily break the formation, the real trouble is not the formation itself, but the old demon suppressed within it.

Even though Lin Fan didn't intend to step into the formation, he was still very worried.

"Please rest assured, nothing will happen."

Xin Ruyin smiled and then flew to the edge of the formation, taking out the items needed to break the formation from her storage bag.

Although Lin Fan had some worries, he knew that the most important thing right now was to protect the Dharma. He would leave the task of breaking the formation to Xin Ruyin.

……

Half a month later, as the last restriction was broken, all the "winged evil" that had bred in the formation were also wiped out, and a pillar that was surrounded by spiritual light appeared in front of the three of them.

Upon closer inspection, one will find that the runes engraved on the pillar are quite strange, consisting of only eight runes from top to bottom.

However, although there are only these eight runes, there are many intricate patterns around the pillar and many extremely rare yin-yang jades inlaid, which makes the entire pillar emit a faint black and white light.

"This must be the legendary Spirit Sealing Pillar!"

"That's right, this is indeed the legendary Spirit Sealing Pillar. Now we just need to push this pillar down and that will be the end of it. After that, we can leave directly. We don't need to worry about anything else. We just need to hurry up and leave this place. The rest is none of our business."

As soon as Lin Fan finished speaking, Xin Ruyin was fine. She already knew the cause and effect, so she naturally did not show any unwillingness.

Although Zhou Yuan knew some of the inside story, she still spoke with a hint of reluctance:

"Could it be that there's really nothing useful inside this pillar? Even taking this spirit-sealing pillar would be good; at least this pillar is worth several thousand spirit stones."

It's hard to believe that they've spent so much time and effort on this trip, only to end up with nothing. It's really hard for Zhou Yuan to accept.

Even if she only got the Spirit Sealing Pillar, she didn't feel like she had lost out. But Lin Fan's intention was to not even take the pillar and just turn around and leave.

"Our top priority is to get out of here as soon as possible; we don't need to worry about anything else."

After saying this, Lin Fan didn't waste any more words. He patted his storage bag at his waist and took out a giant ape puppet that he had crafted himself.

Immediately, with a thought, he manipulated the giant ape puppet and slammed down the spirit-sealing pillar in front of him.

"Alright, mission accomplished. We should head back now. What happens next is no longer our concern. I'm sure that Nascent Soul stage senior, the Extreme Yin Old Monster, will be quite satisfied with this generous gift from me."

Lin Fan chuckled, and his words sent a chill down Zhou Yuan's spine. She felt a shiver run down her spine, but her bright eyes still held an undisguised reluctance.

After all, it's truly regrettable that so much effort was put in, only to end up with nothing.

But at least, his life was saved!

With this in mind, Zhou Yuan finally let go completely and immediately followed Lin Fan and Xin Ruyin, using their magical artifacts to leave the deserted island.

Moments after the three of them left, a sinister skeletal figure slowly emerged from the overturned spirit-sealing pillar.

"Interesting kid, hehehe..."
