As for Ling Qingzhu, she was not among them.
"You should have a way, right?" Lin Yi turned his gaze away and said to Little Marten.
“Every formation has a way to get through it,” the little sable nodded proudly, pointing its paw at the sea of fire ahead. “Do you see those fire channels that split out from the sea of fire?”
"Don't tell me that those fire channels are the way to get through," Lin Yi said, raising an eyebrow.
"Hehe, these passages are all fake. Lin Langtian and his group also fell for the trick. They tried to break through these passages, but ended up trapped in the formation instead," Little Marten chuckled.
"The road ahead is the real one; it just depends on whether you dare to walk it."
"What is there to be afraid of?" Lin Yi smiled, his spiritual power in his Niwan Palace stirring restlessly, ready to deal with any unexpected situation at any time. Then he stepped into the sea of fire in front of him.
Next, Lin Yi led Little Mink and Little Flame through the sea of fire, and surprisingly, it went very smoothly.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, on successfully passing the array barrier for the first time! Reward: Array Master Inheritance!]
The lineage of a Grandmaster of Array Formation?
Hearing the system's reward voice in his mind, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.
boom!
Just then, a massive flow of information flooded into his mind—the system's reward of the Grandmaster of Array Dao inheritance!
This includes basic knowledge of various formations, as well as many advanced formation restrictions and techniques for breaking formations.
The sudden influx of information caused Lin Yi to feel dizzy for a brief moment, and his body temporarily stopped in place.
"Lin Yi, what's wrong?"
When Little Marten saw Lin Yi's appearance, he was startled and hurriedly called out in his ear.
"Phew," after a while, Lin Yi let out a long breath, rubbed his throbbing head, and shook his head, saying, "I'm fine, let's keep going."
The man and the two beasts continued forward for a while, and suddenly a half-open bronze gate appeared in the sea of fire ahead.
Lin Yi paused briefly, then slipped inside through the half-open opening.
Chapter 77 Nirvana Heart, Sudden Change! [Please Read On]
As Lin Yi stepped through the bronze gate, the crimson color completely dissipated, and a quiet stone palace appeared in his sight.
Lin Yi glanced around and saw that the stone hall was empty except for a stone coffin without a lid in the center.
In mid-air beside the stone coffin, a blue lotus floated, and a graceful figure, as still as a lotus seed, stood barefoot on the blue lotus. It was Ling Qingzhu, who had arrived earlier.
As Ling Qingzhu lightly raised her hand, countless rays of azure light gathered in the air. Enveloped in that azure light, a jade-green heart, seemingly formed from brilliant energy, was visibly transforming into a jade-green liquid.
"Nirvana mind!"
Upon seeing this scene, a slightly surprised voice echoed in Lin Yi's mind.
Lin Yi also saw the Nirvana Heart in Ling Qingzhu's hand, and his expression was slightly complicated.
"This is not a place for you. Get out..."
In the blink of an eye, the Nirvana Heart had completely melted into a ball of emerald green liquid. Ling Qingzhu waved her hand lightly, and an invisible force gathered the emerald green liquid in the air. Then, she stared at Lin Yi with a pair of clear eyes that were completely calm.
Lin Yi cupped his hands and said, "My name is Lin Yi. I have no intention of vying with you for treasures. I entered this place by mistake simply to see what a Nirvana Realm expert left behind. May I ask how you are addressed, young lady?"
“Even Lin Langtian and the others were trapped by the outer formation due to a mishap. You are quite capable to have managed to break in.”
In mid-air, Ling Qingzhu nodded slightly to Lin Yi, then said softly,
"My name is Ling Qingzhu. Since Young Master Lin Yi has no intention of competing, then Qingzhu will thank you in advance. I am not willing to force someone to leave, so please do not have any other thoughts about it, Young Master Lin Yi."
Having said that, Ling Qingzhu stretched out her jade-like hand and gracefully lifted a corner of the thin veil. Her lips parted slightly, and the emerald green liquid in mid-air whistled down and disappeared into her rosy lips.
Lin Yi was struggling with whether or not to remind Ling Qingzhu that there was a problem with the Nirvana Heart, and how to do so. But when he saw Ling Qingzhu swallow the energy liquid that the Nirvana Heart had transformed into, he no longer needed to struggle with the matter.
That's not my fault...
While swallowing the emerald green liquid, Ling Qingzhu kept a close eye on Lin Yi. Seeing Lin Yi's conflicted expression, she assumed that Lin Yi was considering whether to make a move to seize the Nirvana Heart energy.
After she had inhaled all the liquid formed from the Nirvana Heart, her eyes suddenly turned to Lin Yi, and a faint laugh escaped her lips:
“Young Master Lin Yi is a man of his word. I am about to refine the energy of the Nirvana Heart. I hope you will not disturb me.”
"Of course not," Lin Yi gave Ling Qingzhu a deep look and nodded.
Ling Qingzhu gracefully sat down cross-legged on the lotus, her beautiful eyes slowly closing. Immediately, the lotus emitted a layer of azure light, enveloping her entire body.
Lin Yi shook his head slightly, then walked around the stone hall, but did not find anything of value.
As for leaving early, Lin Yi had no such plan. He couldn't just watch Ling Qingzhu burn to death, could he?
"Oh!"
Suddenly, a sound of surging energy came from mid-air. Lin Yi looked up and saw that a violent energy fluctuation suddenly rose from the green lotus, and the source of the fluctuation was Ling Qingzhu's body.
Within the lotus, Ling Qingzhu's snow-white skin, exposed outside her clothes, blushed slightly at this moment.
An extremely powerful pure Yin energy continuously roared out from his body, causing the light screen of the blue lotus to ripple.
At this moment, Ling Qingzhu also noticed something was wrong, and a chill ran through her clear eyes.
Her slender, delicate hands flew up, and an extremely powerful Yuan energy erupted from her body, attempting to suppress the rampant pure Yin energy.
The blue lotus shimmered, and waves of fierce energy emanated continuously from Ling Qingzhu's body, indicating that she was currently engaged in a fierce internal struggle.
However, the pure Yin energy was too powerful, and Ling Qingzhu was ultimately unable to suppress it.
"shameless!"
On the lotus, Ling Qingzhu suddenly stood up, her tone icy. Then, she raised her jade hand, and an extremely powerful Yuan energy shot out, transforming into a giant palm that slammed hard onto the stone coffin of the Nirvana expert.
"Oh!"
With a loud crash, the stone coffin and the skeleton inside were smashed to pieces by Ling Qingzhu.
Seeing Ling Qingzhu's fierce appearance, Lin Yi subconsciously took a step back.
Ling Qingzhu is currently in a berserk state, and he doesn't want to be blamed for it.
After smashing the stone coffin with a single palm strike to vent her anger, Ling Qingzhu's delicate body trembled once again.
She could feel a flame forming within her body; the flame was not scorching, but rather exuded endless chill and coldness.
However, under such flames, the powerful Yuan energy within her body began to show signs of stiffening.
Ling Qingzhu's clear eyes flashed rapidly. After a moment, she suddenly gritted her teeth, turned her gaze, and looked at Lin Yi beside her.
"Miss Qingzhu, I haven't done anything. If you think I'm in your way, I'll leave now," Lin Yi said, shrugging as he saw Ling Qingzhu looking over.
Ling Qingzhu's expression shifted rapidly. Suddenly, she waved her hand, sending a burst of Yuan energy that slammed into the bronze gate from a distance, completely sealing it shut.
"Young Master Lin Yi," she said, staring at Lin Yi. Her originally cold voice suddenly softened considerably.
"What is it?" Lin Yi asked casually.
"Qingzhu wishes to borrow the yang energy within you, and will certainly reward you handsomely afterwards," Ling Qingzhu said softly.
Lin Yi said, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate? We've only just met, and it's already too fast for us to get intimate?"
“There’s no need for physical intimacy; Qingzhu has other methods,” Ling Qingzhu said with a faint smile.
"Lin Yi, be careful. This woman probably wants to forcibly extract your yang energy. If she does, it will inevitably damage your foundation and have extremely serious aftereffects," Xiao Diao's voice suddenly rang in Lin Yi's mind.
Lin Yi shook his head repeatedly upon hearing this, "The method that Miss Qingzhu mentioned is probably a way to harm others for personal gain. I think you should find someone else."
"you!"
Upon hearing this, Ling Qingzhu's eyes immediately turned sharp. "Young Master Lin Yi, I said I would make it up to you!"
"Let's forget it, I'll take my leave now," Lin Yi shook his head slightly, looking like he was about to slip away.
"Since Young Master Lin Yi is unwilling to cooperate, then Qingzhu will have to offend him."
With a wave of her jade hand, Ling Qingzhu unleashed a burst of azure light from the lotus beneath her feet, like a sky full of azure locks that instantly entangled Lin Yi.
Immediately, Ling Qingzhu landed on a lotus flower in front of Lin Yi, and extended her jade finger to touch Lin Yi's forehead.
"Hmm, this isn't the situation I wanted to see..."
Just then, a slightly mocking voice suddenly rang out in the empty stone hall.
Lin Yi and Ling Qingzhu looked in the direction of the sound and saw a few red lights floating up above the broken stones of the stone coffin. Finally, it transformed into a phantom figure that smiled at Lin Yi and Ling Qingzhu.
Chapter 78 You are in me, and I am in you! [Please continue reading]
The light and shadow appeared illusory, clearly not a physical entity. This light and shadow looked to be around thirty years old, appearing extremely young, with a radiant face and a refined demeanor.
"who are you?"
Upon seeing the sudden appearance of the light and shadow, Ling Qingzhu frowned slightly and said in a deep voice.
"Hehe, you're quite fierce, woman. You blasted my bones and stone coffin into pieces, and you still ask who I am?" The refined man smiled slightly upon hearing this.
Upon hearing this, Ling Qingzhu's expression changed. "You are the master of the tomb?"
"Hehe, don't be nervous. I'm already dead. This is just a remnant of my primordial spirit. If you hadn't shattered the stone coffin, I wouldn't have been able to show myself," the refined man laughed.
"Shameless scoundrel! You call yourself a senior? How dare you use such despicable means!" Ling Qingzhu said through gritted teeth.
"The relationship between men and women is in accordance with the principles of Yin and Yang in the universe, so how can it be considered shameless?" the refined man said.
Immediately, a strange smile appeared on his face. He glanced at Lin Yi and Ling Qingzhu, and said to Lin Yi,
"Little one, you're in luck this time. Even back then, I had never seen such a stunning beauty. You'd better treat her well in the future."
Lin Yi gave a wry smile and said nothing.
"What do you want to do?" Hearing his words, Ling Qingzhu's eyes turned cold, and her clear voice gained a hint of ruthlessness.
"It's a favor to help others achieve their goals," the refined man smiled slightly, then pointed his hand in the air, and the Nirvana Heart that Ling Qingzhu had absorbed into her body completely erupted. Extremely cold pure Yin energy surged out like a tide, freezing all the Yuan Power in Ling Qingzhu's body in an instant.
Sensing the changes within her body, Ling Qingzhu's clear eyes finally showed some fear, and the blue lotus beneath her feet burst forth with brilliant light, desperately trying to dissolve the pure Yin power.
"Oh? Not bad at all. It seems you have quite a powerful background. But it's of no use to a dead man like me."
Seeing that the Azure Lotus had actually resisted some of the spread of pure Yin energy, the refined man smiled, pointed his finger in the air again, and a beam of light shot out, completely enveloping the Azure Lotus and separating it from Ling Qingzhu.
As the Azure Lotus was sealed, the azure light ropes that had been binding Lin Yi also completely dissipated.
