The entire sect is obsessed with love, but I'm the only one who's truly insane.

Zhiling felt it wasn't right for her to just stand there alone, so she thought she should try to help dig some soil. Before she could even ask, she turned around and saw a cultivator coming with a lantern.

"What are you doing here? The soil from Floating Cloud Mountain won't help your children become geniuses. If you really want good luck, you might as well go to the Supreme Sect. They specialize in producing geniuses. They're much better than the soil under the tombstone."

The man was shouting loudly, which suggests he often saw people trying to take advantage of the environment under the Qingyun Ranking.

But soon he stood not far away and rubbed his eyes hard.

Oh no, this is happening so fast! I thought I was seeing double, but there really are this many people.

"What are you doing? Let me tell you, Fuyun Mountain is public property, and no one is allowed to use it for private purposes, no matter what you build on it."

That cultivator was a senior cultivator from a major sect who took turns on the Qingyun Ranking, so that news of new people on the Qingyun Ranking could be relayed at any time.

"Fellow Daoist," Zhiling stepped forward to explain, "we're not here for personal use, it's just that..."

Just then, the people in the middle stopped what they were doing.

"There is indeed a palace below, with a faint power feedback. It wouldn't have reacted if I hadn't dug into my array plate." Lin Du watched as the pointer on the array plate tilted shakily at a small angle, his face clearly showing that a challenge had arrived.

"We can't find the real entrance. These people are really good at hiding." Ju Yuan was quite proficient in spatial restrictions, but he couldn't find the exit set by the spatial restriction.

Cang Li frowned. "A completely isolated underground palace is definitely not something an ordinary weapon refiner or array master could create."

Yuan Ye tentatively suggested, "Master, how about we blow it up?"

Even the most powerful magical artifacts can be blown apart if the firepower is sufficient; they should have that capability now.

Cang Li shook his head, while the rest of the group probed around, whispering about the specific suspicious locations and solutions.

"We haven't found their teleportation array yet. If we're going to blow it up, we can only blow up the teleportation array, because there are still people inside."

The guard standing nearby: Huh? You guys should at least pay attention to me, shouldn't you? Aren't you being a little too arrogant?

Although he couldn't defeat so many powerful individuals, he could call for reinforcements!

"You've gone too far! I... I'll go inform the Supreme Sect and the Jun Ding Prefecture right now!" The cultivator hurriedly took out a communication talisman. "I'll call them to punish you!"

After he infused his spiritual energy into the talisman and released it, the talisman instantly flew towards the source of the aura, He Gui. He calmly accepted it, looked at the cultivator, and asked, "You were looking for me? Fellow Daoist, is there anything I can help you with?"

The monk's eyes widened: Huh? ???

No, huh?

So the person in front of you is the elder of the Supreme Sect in charge of Jun Ding Prefecture?

The remaining group...could it be...?

"We've come to apprehend the wanted criminal." He Gui bowed to him in a Daoist salute. "I'm truly sorry that we didn't inform you in advance due to the urgency of the situation. We will issue a detailed report on what will happen next. Don't worry, Fuyun Mountain and the Qingyun Ranking...theoretically, they can be preserved."

Before He Gui could finish speaking, Lin Du suddenly turned around and looked at the stone on the Azure Cloud Ranking.

"Didn't we just say that it's darkest under the lamp?" Lin Du's voice was particularly clear amidst the scattered background noise.

Cang Li suddenly understood Lin Du's meaning, and the two of them headed straight for the stone tablet of the Azure Cloud Ranking.

The cultivator sensed something was wrong, and He Gui patted him reassuringly on the shoulder, "It's nothing serious, relax. This is the personal disciple of a top-grade weapon refiner and the number one array master. They definitely know their limits."

In the next instant, Cang Li swung his palm at the stone tablet with the golden words floating in the air.

The cultivator's heart, which had just settled, leaped into his throat. "No, it's not!!!"

Just as the palm strike of spiritual energy reached three inches in front of the stone tablet, a force automatically absorbed the attack, instantly turning it into nothingness.

Lin Du lowered his head, and the array pointer almost instantly hit the highest point.

"The Dharma Gate is right here!"

Cang Li and Lin Du blurted it out almost simultaneously.

The cultivator took a deep breath, rolled his eyes, and looked like he was about to collapse.

It's over, it's over.

Cang Li and Lin Du acted quickly. As professional and technical personnel, they were able to quickly figure out what type of teleportation array and illusion technique it was once they grasped the key points.

Lin Du confirmed, "The stone tablet is indeed a teleportation array, but this stone tablet existed six thousand years ago. When did Fusifang appear?"

"I might know about that," Yan Qing said. "I once heard the chief editor of the Records of Strange Tales of Central Plains mention it."

"Although Fusifang has risen rapidly in the past five thousand years, it actually had a predecessor, which was a small newspaper that reported on the major powerful figures and detailed information emerging in the Dongming Realm."

Lin Du turned to look at Yan Qing, "How many years?"

"At least a thousand years, or even longer," Yan Qing replied.

Lin Du and Cang Li exchanged a glance, realizing that the feasibility of this was immense.

"This stone tablet has been guarded for several hundred years now, hasn't it? There's been a constant stream of people coming and going."

"This Fusifang is well hidden."

Lin Du took the array plate and turned it around, then pulled Han Yueling out again.

"The aura of the Heavenly Dao's rules?"

Han Yueling sniffed curiously.

"Wait, there's another power?" Han Yueling tilted her head in confusion. "What is it?"

Lin Du realized, "This formation has a nickname, Dragon Sucking Water. It can draw upon the rules of Heaven to pour into it. Inside, there is a Qiankun Reversal Formation, similar to your innate talent, Mirror Flower Water Moon, Chu Guanmeng, except that the illusion is real."

She pointed to the Qingyun List stone tablet, "The door is inside."

"Then how are we going to get in? Blow it in? That's not a good idea. What if the stone tablet gets blown up too?" Yuan Ye glanced at the cultivator who was about to faint and felt that it seemed like they couldn't blow it up today.

"It can be broken." Lin Du smiled. "Step back, let me handle this."

Lin Du raised his hand and summoned seventeen hiltless short blades. He poured out his spiritual power, urging the blades to plunge into the array surrounding the stone tablet.

Suddenly, an exceptionally brilliant golden light burst forth in front of the stone tablet, creating a powerful barrier that prevented the short blade from advancing an inch.

Cang Li was the first to react, "Junior Sister, catch!"

He made a hand seal with one hand and poured spiritual energy into Lin Du's central meridian with the other.

Lin Du's power is not enough to contend with the power of the Heavenly Dao's rules.

With the addition of Cang Li's spiritual power, the short blade advanced half an inch. Hou Cang pursed his lips and said, "Yours isn't good enough, let me do it."

He made a hand seal with one hand and placed the other hand on Lin Du's other shoulder.

Cang Li glanced at Hou Cang with a puzzled look. Something was wrong, something really was wrong.

Hou Cang always hated contact with living beings, and would kill even a mosquito with a sword strike if it got too close, so why would he willingly become Lin Du's support?

With the spiritual power of Hou Cang, a cultivator at the Formless Realm, the short blade quickly advanced more than an inch, but it was still unable to break through that level.

"Not enough." Lin Du frowned.

Feng Yi and Ju Yuan stepped forward at the same time, and Cang Li moved his shoulders, indicating that he could help take over.

He Gui was a step too late. Seeing that Cang Li's two shoulders were also missing, and that the short blade hadn't broken through the formation yet, he hesitated whether to step forward. Just then, he heard Hou Cang say, "What are you standing there for? Come here, and you too, boss, you come too."

The boss is referring to Mo Lin.

The two of them placed their hands on Hou Cang's shoulders at the same time. With so many people working together, Lin Du felt the spiritual energy surge like a raging torrent, an avalanche that had burst its banks.

Fortunately, all those years of medication hadn't been for nothing; Lin Du's heart meridian had managed to hold on thanks to the continuous flow of medicinal power and life force.

Lin Du concentrated his mind, and the short blade finally made direct contact with the stone tablet. He used his divine sense to suppress and stabilize the short blade, and then slowly applied force to cut off the power in the inner formation.

A moment later, the golden light, like a shattered glass dome, first broke into pieces, then strangely resembled a column of water flowing backward, swiftly plunging into the ground.

At that moment, Lin Du instructed Ni Jinxuan, "Jinxuan, aim at the center of the backflow, break through!"

The exquisite whip shot out, accompanied by an exceptionally sharp whistling sound, shattering the core of the formation within in one fell swoop. The enormous recoil force sent everyone near the stone tablet flying.

In an instant, more than a dozen figures of various colors appeared in the sky, then each steadied themselves and stared at the teleportation array that had appeared.

"Junior Uncle! It's open!" Ni Jinxuan shouted.

"Leave four cultivators at the Radiant Sun Realm to guard these locations I marked with my spiritual power to prevent anyone from moving. The rest of you, especially Tian Wu, go inside." Lin Du calmly managed the situation.

Cang Li glanced at Lin Du, then habitually looked at his own cold-blooded junior brother.

Unexpectedly, Hou Cang showed no self-awareness whatsoever and simply followed Lin Du inside.

Cang Li: ...Something's not right, something's really not right.
