Among the seventy-two immortal stele discovered in Mount Tai, the earliest era is that of the First Emperor.
Then the gatekeepers appeared to prevent practitioners of all major systems from entering the Immortal Gate, because only by entering the Immortal Gate can one achieve the third level.
In other words, does the gatekeeper exist to prevent practitioners from achieving the third level?
So why do the gatekeepers prevent everyone from becoming a third-grade person?
This promise can only be known after finding the Xianmen.
However, one thing Qin Fan can almost conclude now is that the gatekeeper appeared after the First Emperor sealed the Immortal Gate.
It was most likely established by the First Emperor himself, and its purpose should be to guard the Immortal Gate and prevent practitioners from entering.
Now is not the time to explore these things, the top priority is to restore spiritual power as soon as possible.
However, there is no spirit stone mine here, and Qin Fan cannot absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at all.
However, the fact that this formation can last for thousands of years and still possess such powerful power proves that this formation must have a source of spiritual power.
As long as he finds this source, Qin Fan can restore his spiritual power.
Although the magic circle was set up by Taoist monks and followed the theory of Yin Yang and Five Elements, it was not a problem for Qin Fan.
Combining the information provided by Meng Yi, Qin Fan quickly found the source of the spiritual power for the formation based on the formation base.
The location is just below the ancestral hall.
It seems that the reason why this ancestral hall was built on the mountainside was not accidental, but probably to cover up the source of spiritual power below.
According to Qin Fan's estimation, there is probably a spirit stone mine below the ancestral hall, and it is larger than the winner's underground martial arts arena in No. 5 City.
"Clan Chief Meng, can you find a few people to help me dig a tunnel to the bottom of the ancestral hall?" Qin Fan looked at Meng Yi and said.
"Tunnel? Does the king want to use the tunnel to avoid the attack of the Yama people?" Meng Yi frowned and said: "This method will not work at all."
"Clan Chief Meng misunderstood. I just want to build a secret room for seclusion and practice." Qin Fan did not tell him. In fact, he was looking for the source of the power of the formation. With the old man's pedantic level, he would definitely not agree.
"That's it!" Meng Yi suddenly said.
Suddenly, he remembered something and said: "By the way, Your Majesty, the ancestral hall actually had a basement. For safety reasons, I asked my tribe to seal the entrance in the early years."
"We can just open the entrance directly, there is no need to find someone to dig it again."
Qin Fan felt happy: "That's just right."
He was almost certain that this basement was where the power source of the formation was located.
However, people like the Meng family don't understand.
Meng Yi found a few young and strong tribesmen and quickly opened the sealed entrance.
After a short period of ventilation, Meng Yi led Qin Fan into the basement.
This is a circular basement with a yin and yang fish pattern in the middle. It has not been ventilated for a long time, and the air in the basement is somewhat damp and dirty.
Qin Fan was a little disappointed because he didn't feel any fluctuations in spiritual power.
Could it be that he guessed wrong that the source of spiritual power of the formation is not under the ancestral hall?
However, judging from the size and shape of this basement, it is clearly the main formation eye of the formation.
No, this must be the energy source of the formation!
Seeing Qin Fan frown suddenly and remain silent, Meng Yi thought he was dissatisfied with the environment here: "Your Majesty, if you don't like this basement, I will ask the tribe to build a new one for you!"
Qin Fan said: "It's very good here. Chief Meng, please go deal with the clan's affairs first. The Meng family has just suffered a disaster, and it's the time when you need to come out to comfort them."
"Yes!" Meng Yi bowed his head and accepted the order.
"Your Majesty, if you need anything, just ask!"
"Meng Yi resigned!"
Soon, everyone in the Meng family retreated, leaving only Ying Yushu to accompany Qin Fan.
Ying Yushu saw that Qin Fan was worried, walked to him and asked: "Mr. Qin, did you not find what you need here?"
Qin Fan glanced at her with some admiration in his eyes: "Did you see it?"
"Yes." Ying Yushu nodded, glanced at the surrounding black walls full of traces of time, and said: "There are thousands of years here. Although I don't know what you are looking for, maybe what you are looking for has been there for thousands of years.
Changed shape."
Qin Fan nodded: "You are right."
After saying that, he walked towards the wall on one side.
It's hard to tell what kind of material these walls are made of, they look like stone, but black stone is relatively rare.
Qin Fan stretched out his hand and touched it. His hand was cold and smooth, a bit like jade.
jade!
His heart moved, and the remaining spiritual power in his body shook violently.
Wow!
A white light flashed on the black wall, and Qin Fan's spiritual power bounced off the black wall.
"I see!"
A slight smile appeared on Qin Fan's face: "This Master Xu is really extremely careful, and he even placed a seal in the formation's eye."
"No wonder I can't sense the slightest fluctuation of spiritual power."
The power of the seal was not strong. Qin Fan only used less than one-tenth of the remaining spiritual power in his body to break the seal.
The black wall began to shed black material in large chunks, revealing the crystal-clear jade stone wall inside.
A strong aura of heaven and earth instantly filled the entire basement.
"It is indeed a spiritual stone mine!"
Feeling the long-lost aura of heaven and earth, Qin Fan closed his eyes greedily, like a traveler who had been walking in the desert for many days and suddenly came to an oasis.
The aura of heaven and earth in the basement continues to increase, as if an underground spring has been dug. The spring water begins to slowly gush out from the ground, gathering more and more.
Qin Fan's pores stretched out, greedily absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Gradually, he felt something was wrong.
"What's going on? The spirit stone mine actually emits such rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth!"
As a faint mist emerged from the basement, it was a spiritual mist that was completely condensed from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
"I could barely achieve this effect by using the Spirit Gathering Formation in Yunding Mountain! It is absolutely impossible to achieve this effect by relying solely on the spiritual energy emitted from the spirit stone mine!"
"No, this is not a spiritual stone mine, but an underground spiritual vein!"
"No wonder Master Xu wants to seal the formation eye. He is afraid that the underground spiritual veins will overflow and be noticed!"
"With the underground spiritual veins, I can rearrange a magic circle with stronger defense and larger range to serve as a refuge for all Qin people!"
Qin Fan admired Master Xu in his heart. He made such a far-sighted decision to build the ancestral hall on the underground spiritual veins!
Invisibly, it was like leaving a way for the Qin people to survive!
Seeing the surprise on Qin Fan's face, Ying Yushu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Congratulations, Mr. Qin, it seems you have found what you are looking for!"
"Haha, not only did I find it, it far exceeded my expectations! Now, the Qin people are saved!" Qin Fan laughed.
"Really? That's great!" Ying Yushu also looked surprised. He didn't expect that what Qin Fan was looking for could actually save the Qin clan!
