100: Sixth-grade Kung Fu: Blazing Fire and Burning Wood

Boom!

The clouds shattered instantly, and the airflow in the sky surged. At the same time, the invisible barrier scattered like broken glass shards.

The grand Formation protecting the cave heaven was destroyed, and the Spiritual Vein below vibrated in response. Suddenly, hundreds of Formation Flags appeared, circulating with flames, and faint traces of eerie green light could be seen.

A large hand appeared out of thin air, its sleeve flicking, driving the airflow to suppress the Formation Flags. The Formation Flags struggled but couldn't break free, falling entirely into someone else's hands.

However, after retrieving the Formation Flags, the old man did not show a joyful expression. Instead, he frowned slightly, looking towards the depths of the cave heaven.

After the grand Formation was shattered, the cave heaven vibrated. In its central depths, another invisible, even more solid barrier clearly appeared.

Excellent grand Formations always have inner and outer divisions. The outer Formation protects the entire cave heaven, while the inner Formation protects the core Legacy and personnel.

Now, with no Cultivators supporting it, the Formation within the cave heaven was extremely fragile. After the outer Formation was destroyed, a skilled Formation Master could easily open the inner Formation, or even seize all the Formation Flags, Formation Plates, and other items in one go, claiming the entire grand Formation as their own, or even directly packing it up and taking it away.

But the three Golden Core Cultivators present, as well as the Bald Monk, were clearly not proficient in the Dao of Formations. They could only continue to let the Kongming Lineage delve deeper, relying on them to seize treasures from within and simultaneously shake the grand Formation.

"Just like before, first loot the outer Formation."

The Duan Kong Cave Cultivator waved his hand, and the native Cultivators who had long been prepared were all thrown into the cave heaven. The other two Sects also had Cultivators entering at the same time.

For a time, the number of Cultivators in the cave heaven once again surged. Moreover, it was not just the Kongming Dao Lineage Lineage; the inner and outer Disciples of Duan Kong Cave, Heshui Prefecture, and Qingling Sect all poured in.

Players who had already delved deep into the cave heaven, even stepping into the inner Formation, didn't feel much. However, players who remained in the outer areas were in for a terrible time.

"Haha! I found a seventh-grade magical sword!"

A Mortal Foundation Cultivator player brandished a three-foot green blade, excitedly waving it up and down. Other players around him looked on with envy, but none dared to approach, as several players lay on the ground, their bodies pierced by sword edges.

A seventh-grade magical sword directly boosted his combat power, giving him a sense of looking down on the crowd.

Holding the magical sword, the player looked around, then towards the inner Formation, pondering:

'Although I've gotten a good treasure now and my combat power has increased, there's still a significant gap compared to professional players. Going to the inner Formation now would be suicide.'

'Anyway, there are still so many good things in this outer Formation. I can continue to loot. When the time comes, I'll mix in with the crowd and leave. I don't believe those few Golden Core Cultivators will chase me for a seventh-grade treasure.'

As he thought, he couldn't help but smile, then turned and walked towards another pavilion.

However, in the next moment, streaks of meteors quickly fell from the sky. Before everyone could clearly see what was falling, they saw Daoist Magic flying out, attacking the players. Qi Refining players were killed first, followed by Mortal Foundation Cultivator, who were injured one after another.

It wasn't until the first wave of attacks ended that the falling meteors revealed their true forms: one Cultivator after another.

"Damn it, it's the natives!"

The player holding the seventh-grade magical sword roared. He thought that since he was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, plus having a powerful treasure, he should at least be able to fight the native Cultivators.

Soon, he faced off against a Mortal Foundation Cultivator. He saw the opponent form hand seals to cast spells, unleashing torrents of water, and then suddenly swinging a sword from within the water, creating ripples.

The player dodged the first few moves, but was hit again and again later. His defenses were almost completely shattered, and the hand holding the magical sword was torn open. Both his severed arm and the magical sword fell into the enemy's hands.

At this moment, the player realized the huge gap between Loose Cultivators and Sect Disciples. Even with similar Realms, the combat methods they possessed were worlds apart, not to mention the Talismans the opponent occasionally threw out, which truly made it difficult for him to parry.

What was worse, these Sect Disciples also ganged up. Soon, new Foundation Establishment Cultivators joined, surrounding him from all sides, finally causing this player to die with regret on the spot.

The other players around were also stunned, immediately falling into chaos and fleeing in all directions.

For a time, the entire cave heaven was in chaos. Players fought players, natives fought natives, players fought natives... Everyone was scrambling for treasures, and greed was evident on everyone's faces.

Occasionally, a dazzling light of a treasure would appear, and immediately, Foundation Establishment Cultivators would arrive through the air, then fall into a brawl, leaving the Qi Refining Cultivators in the distance trembling.

Only the inner Formation area was much safer, as only the Kongming Lineage could enter, and all the native Cultivators who surged in stopped at the inner Formation, also obeying orders and not daring to obstruct others from entering. Therefore, it was much safer inside.

Players also quickly reacted, surging towards the inner Formation. Only then did they realize that in the Xuanhuan World, if you don't advance, you retreat. Sometimes, even if you want to slack off in the outer areas, someone will force you to constantly delve deeper.

The Mage was also forced to constantly delve deeper, getting closer and closer to the core area.

He wasn't being forced by the chaotic situation or the increasing number of Cultivators, but by an even more terrifying existence.

Buddhist light always appeared in his vision, guiding his direction, wanting him to enter the inner Formation and seize a certain treasure from it.

When he was taken away by the Monk, the Mage initially thought he was doomed.

However, he never expected the Monk to be exceptionally easy to talk to, promising that as long as he brought back a string of Buddhist beads from the cave heaven, whatever else he obtained, he could take it all with him when he left.

The Mage was half-skeptical. He knew he had no room for resistance, but he did have a way to increase his value and keep himself alive:

'This place is called 【Green Emerald Heaven】. According to the Monk, it is the weakest cave heaven of the Kongming Lineage. It seems that if they are to plot against the Kongming Dao Lineage, more cave heavens will need to fall later.'

'If I can achieve an Immortal Foundation through the Kongming Dao Lineage, then no matter what, I'll be considered valuable. I just need to continue advancing in the subsequent cave heavens until I achieve Golden Core...'

Thinking this, the Mage had an idea in his mind: he must achieve an Immortal Foundation in Green Emerald Heaven!

Following the guidance of the Buddhist light, the Mage quickly opened a treasure vault on a Spirit Peak. After surveying the area, amidst a dazzling array of spiritual objects, he saw the most inconspicuous, lusterless Buddhist beads. They looked like small trinkets played with by Mortals, with no special features, but the Buddhist light clearly indicated that these were the treasures that needed to be seized.

The Mage took the treasure and then searched the surroundings. Suddenly, he trembled violently. It turned out that a Jade Slip containing a Cultivation Technique was right there—

A sixth-grade Cultivation Technique, 【Blazing Fire Burning Wood Art】!

Not only was it a sixth-grade Cultivation Technique, but there was also a complete set of the Immortal Foundation Method nearby, and even a portion of 【Ashen Wood Reignition Qi】 preserved in a jade box.

Besides these, there were other spiritual resources for cultivation, such as Medicinal Pills, Spirit Stones, a Spirit Gathering Array Plate, Tranquilizing Incense, and so on.

"This..."

The Mage was ecstatic. This was an Opportunity!
