726: The Venerable Thousand Poisons spoke in a solemn tone.

Hearing the words of the Fire Origin, Ji Wuchang couldn't help but nod slowly; he could feel the other party's fear and dread from its words.

He believed everything the Fire Origin said was true, but this only made his expression increasingly serious.

Regarding the Dao of Formations, he wasn't very knowledgeable, but this Formation was clearly extremely complex.

A thought suddenly struck him: Thousand Fire City had thirty-six active volcanoes that were very densely distributed. Could they be related to these thirty-six Iron Chains?

For some reason, the more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed, as these Iron Chains continued to extend into the distance after piercing through the walls, their destination unknown.

If that were truly the case, once he took action to break the Formation, it would inevitably trigger volcanic eruptions, thereby alerting the people outside.

Although they wouldn't find this place in a short time, if it alerted a supreme realm powerhouse to descend, things would become troublesome.

“Thousand Poison Venerable, take a sense of this. What kind of Formation is this?”

Ji Wuchang removed the Seal from the Heaven-Locking Coffin and sent a divine sense transmission to Thousand Poison Venerable.

“You brat, why did you Seal the Heaven-Locking Coffin? Do you actually worry that this old man is going to harm you!”

“I was suffocating in there! I called to the heavens and they didn't answer; I called to the earth and it didn't respond.”

“If this old man wanted to harm you, I would have done it long ago. Why wait until now?”

“Besides, I told you, if I’m going to make a move against you, it will be when I leave the Heaven-Locking Coffin!”

The moment Ji Wuchang undid the Seal on the Heaven-Locking Coffin, Thousand Poison Venerable' roar came through, making Ji Wuchang's ears ring!

“Old man, I was in seclusion during this time. I was afraid you would affect me, so I sealed the Heaven-Locking Coffin.”

Ji Wuchang spoke guiltily; how could he admit that he was indeed worried about being harmed!

Thousand Poison Venerable gave a cold snort, then proceeded to curse Ji Wuchang for not knowing how to repay kindness.

To help him kill that person at the first level of the supreme realm, he had expended a great deal of effort just to break through the confinement of the Heaven-Locking Coffin.

Ji Wuchang didn't reply to Thousand Poison Venerable, letting him curse. Only after the old man had mostly finished did he speak up.

“Old man, take a look. Do you have a way to break this Formation? I want the Fire Origin inside!”

Thousand Poison Venerable gave a 'hmpf,' and then Divine Soul power surged out from the Heaven-Locking Coffin, spreading toward the surroundings.

“Eh, this Formation is quite extraordinary!”

Thousand Poison Venerable' exclamation of surprise rang out, his voice filled with a thick sense of wonder.

Just then, the Heaven-Locking Coffin flew up on its own and rapidly expanded. On top of the Heaven-Locking Coffin, the phantom of an old man appeared.

This scene gave Ji Wuchang a shock, and he hurriedly asked, “Old man, you've broken free from the restrictions of the Heaven-Locking Coffin?”

Thousand Poison Venerable' phantom snorted coldly, a hint of smugness then appearing on his face!

“This matter can be considered thanks to you, brat. When we killed that Supreme last time, this old man took the opportunity to play a trick on that artifact spirit.”

“She has now over-expended herself and fallen into a deep sleep. As for me, I've broken several shackles and am much closer to escaping!”

Hearing this, a bitter smile couldn't help but appear at the corners of Ji Wuchang's mouth.

No wonder he hadn't heard the artifact spirit asking him for Spirit Stones lately; so this was the reason.

Suddenly, his heart stirred, and he quickly pressed further, “Old man, if that's the case, doesn't it mean you can exert even greater power?”

“With your current ability, dealing with the third level of the supreme realm shouldn't be a problem, right?”

Hearing this, a trace of smugness appeared on Thousand Poison Venerable' face, but then his expression suddenly turned solemn.

“You brat are full of bad ideas. This old man won't tell you, lest you make me your hired thug again!”

“However, brat, are you sure you want to break this Thirty-Six Leyline Grand Formation?”

“I'm telling you, the person capable of setting up such a Formation in a place like this must be incredibly powerful.”

“Once you break his Formation, he will inevitably sense it in the future. Are you sure you can handle this Karma?”

Thousand Poison Venerable' expression was solemn, and there was no longer any trace of playfulness on his face.

Hearing Thousand Poison Venerable' words, Ji Wuchang also fell into silence; he understood what the other meant.

If he broke this Formation, it would be equivalent to gaining an incredibly powerful enemy, and he would surely face retaliation in the Late Stage.

For even Thousand Poison Venerable to be so cautious, it was clear that he considered the person who set up this Formation to be extremely terrifying!

“Wealth is found in danger. Since I've encountered it, there's no reason to shrink back!”

“The Cultivation Technique I practice is of the fire attribute; this Fire Origin is vital to me!”

“Old man, think of a way. I won't back down!”

Ji Wuchang spoke with a solemn expression, a look of determination in his eyes!

Thousand Poison Venerable glanced at Ji Wuchang, his illusory figure sinking into contemplation before he smiled bitterly. “Forget it, meeting you is just my bad luck!”

“To break this Formation, there is only one way, and that is to sever these Iron Chains.”

“Of course, you don't need to sever all of them; severing six or more is enough. This old man can help you accomplish that!”

“At the same time, you can make the Fire Origin go berserk. That way, it will be relatively easier.”

“However, once this Formation is triggered, it will immediately alert the one who set it!”

“This old man estimates that in no more than the time it takes half an incense stick to burn—or perhaps even less—that person will descend.”

“You must think clearly about what you will face once the opponent appears and sees this scene!”

“This won't be someone at the first level of the supreme realm; it will be someone at least at the fifth level of the supreme realm or higher.”

“I know you can use Shrinking Ground to an Inch to travel over two thousand miles in an instant, but I'm telling you, that is useless before him.”

“Someone whose cultivation base has reached that level can continuously tear through space and can even send down a Dharma Decree to kill enemies.”

“Of course, this is the worst-case scenario. If you've considered it thoroughly and still want to do this, this old man will join you in this madness!”

The more Thousand Poison Venerable spoke, the more serious he became, while Ji Wuchang fell silent.

Hearing about these methods, he also felt his scalp go numb, unsure whether to continue.

“Old man, is there any way to conceal my aura so that he can't lock onto me for a short time?”

Ji Wuchang naturally wouldn't give up; this kind of opportunity was too important to him. If he missed it, he might regret it for a lifetime.

“There is: traversing the Void Realm. But where you will ultimately end up, even this old man doesn't know.”

“In other words, I can help you tear open the void. Once you enter the void, it will be up to you!”

“Though supreme realm powerhouses are strong, they are also helpless against the vast and endless void. The power of the void will erase all traces of your aura!”

“But the danger is equally terrifying. The cold within the void alone is not something someone in the Dao Severing Realm can endure!”

“Furthermore, once in the void, this old man will also become blind. Whether you can find a passage to leave the void will depend entirely on yourself!”

Thousand Poison Venerable' words were exceptionally heavy; he actually did not want Ji Wuchang to do this.
