Take care, sir.

The Mystic Realm Mine had now become a ruin.

A group of people moved through the ruins in a mighty procession.

These people were naturally Zhong Qing and his companions.

One could see streams of light in the distance, enveloping the entire world and sealing off the surrounding Void Realm.

The entire Formation was operating at an extremely high speed, making it impossible to discern its workings or find an exit.

As for the area around the Formation, there was no one present.

Clearly, all the Disciples of the Phoenix Feather Sect stationed here had already fled.

This Infinite Mysterious Light Formation was extraordinary.

It integrated both offense and defense.

That is to say, many of the commanders and leaders only had the authority to activate the containment Formation, while the authority to activate the killing Formation was held by the Great Commander.

Otherwise, if they had possessed the authority to activate the killing Formation, the previous battle would never have ended so easily.

Nor would they have fled so easily.

Of course, at this point, the process no longer mattered.

Zhong Qing arrived at the edge of the Formation, activated his Heavenly Eye, and began to examine the Infinite Mysterious Light Formation.

If he wanted to leave by himself, he could do so with just a slight movement of his body.

If he were to take three or five people, it would also be simple.

But here, there were tens of thousands of people.

He couldn't possibly shuttle back and forth to transport all these people; that would be too troublesome.

Zhong Qing possessed Formation Immunity.

At the same time, he also had the Heavenly Eye, which could see through all illusions.

The combination of the two meant that he could do more than simply ignore Formations.

It also granted him another unique ability.

That was to break Formations.

His Formation-breaking ability, if not unparalleled in the world, was certainly close.

The moment Zhong Qing opened his Heavenly Eye, the seemingly profound operational trajectory of the Infinite Mysterious Light Formation instantly became clear and visible to him.

Not only that, but he could also see that the Formation had a total of eight Formation bases.

Formation bases are the foundation of a Formation's operation.

As long as the Formation bases are destroyed, the entire Formation will naturally collapse without being attacked.

Zhong Qing moved.

He arrived before the first Formation base; it was a piece of Starry Sky Ancient Gold.

Starry Sky Ancient Gold is the finest of gold, of extremely high quality.

It is a precious Material for Artifact Refining.

Engraved upon it was the power of the Formation base.

With a single grab, Zhong Qing had the entire piece of Starry Sky Ancient Gold in his hand.

At this point, a corner of the entire Formation's base was directly broken.

He did not stop.

He went directly to the second Formation base.

This was a Space Stone.

Space Stone is the most valuable Material for array arrangement, containing the power of space.

It is incredibly rare and sought after.

In the Central Plains, there was a saying that a million High-Grade Spirit Stones couldn't buy even a tael of Space Stone.

This shows how precious this stone was.

And this particular Space Stone weighed several catties.

Zhong Qing once again took out the Space Stone.

Each Formation base held an extremely precious treasure Material.

Zhong Qing followed suit, taking them all down.

He placed them in his Small World as spoils of war.

As the eighth Formation base was destroyed by Zhong Qing, the entire Formation, like a castle in the air, collapsed with a roar.

This scene deeply shocked and dumbfounded countless onlookers.

What did they see?

They just saw Zhong Qing shuttle back and forth within the Formation a few times, and then the entire Formation was directly broken.

"When did breaking Formations become so simple?"

Someone swallowed hard, speaking with immense shock.

The process was too short, less than half an hour in total.

It even gave them the illusion that they could do it too.

Watching Zhong Qing break the Formation was a complete visual feast.

And this remark soon drew a lot of ridicule and mockery from others.

"Simple?"

"You go try to break it?"

"Earlier, we tried to combine our strength to break this Formation."

"Seventeen Three Yang powerhouses united their strength, bombarded it for a long time, but couldn't even break the edges of this great Formation."

"The fact that this Great Master could break this Formation in such a short time only proves one thing."

"That is, his comprehension of Formations has already reached a state of returning to simplicity, almost reaching the Dao."

"You should be grateful that this Great Master took action."

"Otherwise, you would likely never leave the Mystic Realm Mine, not even a single step, until your death."

Among everyone, Liu Yun was arguably the most incredulous.

Precisely because she had stood at the Peak in her previous life, she knew better than anyone the terror of this Formation.

She considered herself to be quite accomplished in the Dao of Formations.

But with her current strength, it would be absolutely impossible to completely decipher this Formation.

Even to break a corner of the Formation, with the Formation operating at full power, would require half a month of effort.

It was precisely because she understood the terror of this great Formation that she found Zhong Qing's complete breaking of the Formation in less than half an hour even more unbelievable.

In her opinion, this was simply a feat that no human could accomplish.

Even a Great Master of Formations, hailed as having reached the pinnacle in the Dao of Formations, could never break this Formation in such a short time.

"How on earth did he do it?"

Liu Yun was puzzled, her heart stirred with considerable ripples.

Earlier, she wondered how Zhong Qing would break the Formation.

After Zhong Qing broke the Formation, her confusion not only didn't lessen at all, but instead grew even stronger.

Involuntarily, Zhong Qing once again became shrouded in a veil of mystery in her eyes.

Liu Yun realized.

The longer she interacted with Zhong Qing, the more she found herself unable to see through this man.

Now, the Mystic Realm Mine had been thoroughly exploited by Zhong Qing, with every last bit of its 'wool' shorn.

As the great Formation completely shattered.

Zhong Qing said to the crowd.

"Now that the Formation is broken, you are all completely free!"

"I believe it won't be long before the Phoenix Feather Sect learns of the upheaval at the Mystic Realm Mine."

"You all, quickly flee for your lives!"

Tens of thousands of mine slaves, for any force, were a power that could not be underestimated.

Zhong Qing had no doubt that if he were to recruit them at this moment, he could at least bring half of them under his command.

But there was no need.

His objective for this trip had already been achieved.

His focus moving forward, taking on Disciples, was the top priority.

There was no need to waste energy on forming any power.

As Zhong Qing's words fell.

Many people wept with joy, greedily inhaling deep breaths of air.

That was the taste of freedom.

Many people had originally thought that freedom would be beyond their reach in this life.

Who could have imagined that happiness would come so quickly?

"The Great Master's kindness, we will never forget."

Someone knelt directly, kowtowing three times to Zhong Qing.

"We are of humble status; this departure of ours is like mud entering the Yellow River, and the Phoenix Feather Sect will likely not expend too much effort on us."

"But the Great Master is different from us."

"The Great Master's radiance is like the light of the sun and the bright moon."

"This time, he has caused an enormous stir."

"Presumably, the Great Master will become a key target for the Phoenix Feather Sect's retaliation."

"This separation, who knows when we will meet again, I hope the Great Master takes care of himself!"

As these words were spoken, it seemed to trigger a chain reaction.

A surge of people knelt directly before Zhong Qing.

"May the Great Master take great care."

Some people said their goodbyes and hurriedly fled for their lives.

Others expressed their willingness to follow Zhong Qing and serve him as their master, but Zhong Qing refused them all.

Soon, tens of thousands of mine slaves had almost completely fled, leaving only Zhong Qing, Qilin, Xiao Ga, and a few old acquaintances.
