The gravel forest was not big. It only stretched forward for five or six miles before reaching the end. With Mo Ye's current forward speed, he could quickly cross this distance.
However, after Mo Ye advanced for a short distance in the gravel forest, he suddenly stopped.
The scenery around him changed at some point, and turned into a stone forest with no edges visible. Even the retreat behind him disappeared without a trace.
"Are you joining the battle?" Mo Ye frowned.
The situation he encountered now would only occur when he entered the formation by mistake.
"Artificial formation, or..." Mo Ye took out the Qingfeng Sword in an instant and slashed out with one strike.
The sword light flew towards the boulder closest to him, and the powerful power directly shook the entire boulder into countless fragments.
However, after a few breaths, the smoke and dust dissipated, but the boulder still existed.
However, the gravel and powder he brought down when he smashed the boulder were still on the ground.
"It's interesting!" Mo Ye mobilized the spiritual power in his body, and three sword lights flew out and flew in different directions.
The three sword lights hit three boulders respectively, destroying them directly. However, after a few breaths, the three boulders appeared intact at their original locations.
"Looks like there's some trouble!"
After all, Mo Ye was not Kelvin, and he did not have high attainments in formations. He had no effective means of cracking the formation that trapped him.
However, through this period of pondering, he still discovered some characteristics of this formation.
The inside of this formation seemed to be completely isolated from the outside world. When he just triggered the formation, he lost contact with the mark he had placed somewhere some time ago.
Moreover, within this formation, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is also passing away quietly. I am afraid that before long, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that exists here will completely disappear.
Mo Ye thought for a moment, then sat down cross-legged and started operating the technique.
Since he can't get out of here for the time being, he might as well adjust his state to its peak before the aura of heaven and earth around him completely disappears!
With the isolation effect of this formation, he does not have to worry about the external spirit liquid realm monsters sensing the fluctuations here.
Under the operation of Mo Ye's technique, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that existed around him gradually surged towards Mo Ye, and soon formed a whirlpool of spiritual energy, suspended above Mo Ye's head.
As time went by, more and more spiritual energy from heaven and earth rushed here, and the whirlpool of spiritual energy above Mo Ye's head became larger and larger, and the recovery speed of the spiritual energy in his spiritual sea also accelerated.
Two hours later, Mo Ye stood up from the ground, and the whirlpool of spiritual energy above his head dissipated.
Mo Ye sensed that the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth had been almost consumed due to his recovery.
Mo Ye found a direction and walked forward.
Every time he passed through a boulder, Mo Ye's consciousness would stay on them for a period of time, trying to find a way out of this place from these boulders.
But after passing twenty or thirty boulders, he still found nothing.
Passing by a huge boulder again, Mo Ye's spiritual consciousness covered it, sensing the boulder in all directions.
"Huh?" This time, Mo Ye discovered something different.
Now, there seemed to be a mark inside the boulder that he was perceiving with his spiritual consciousness.
Mo Ye walked to the front of the boulder and pressed his right hand on it.
A trace of spiritual power flowed out through Mo Ye's palm and entered the inside of the boulder.
This spiritual power flowed slowly inside the boulder, and after a while, it reached the mark inside the boulder.
The spiritual power touched the mark and was instantly absorbed into it.
The mark was infused with spiritual power and began to slowly emit a white halo, as if it was activated.
Mo Ye took his hand back and began to wait quietly.
After about ten breaths, violent vibrations came from inside the boulder.
"Boom!"
On the surface of the boulder, spiritual patterns emerged one after another, and soon they covered the entire boulder like a spider web.
These spiritual patterns also emitted white light, and at the same time, an aura of vicissitudes of life rushed towards Mo Ye.
After the boulder underwent such a change, there was no more movement.
Mo Ye turned around and left, heading towards the next boulder.
Mo Ye spent three hours activating the marks inside the forty-nine boulders. After that, he explored for another hour and found no other boulders with marks.
"After activating the forty-nine marks, what will happen next?" Mo Ye looked at these boulders covered with spiritual patterns and asked.
In fact, the moment he activated the forty-ninth mark, he had already felt the slow changes in the boulders with the marks.
It is only now that the changes in the appearance of these boulders have begun to become apparent.
The spiritual patterns on the surface of these boulders began to show a golden luster. This golden luster continued to flow along the path of the spiritual patterns, apparently constructing formations one after another.
As soon as these formations carved on the surface of the boulders were activated, the entire gravel forest suddenly shook.
"boom!"
In the far distance, a huge white light pillar was seen rising into the sky.
"boom!"
"boom!"
…
Pillars of light one after another rose from different places.
When the forty-ninth beam of light rose, the entire gravel forest returned to calm again.
The forty-nine beams of light correspond exactly to the forty-nine boulders engraved with formations.
After about ten breaths, in Mo Ye's eyes, slender threads flew out from the inside of these light pillars, and soon connected with other light pillars.
A huge formation was constructed in the air.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth that existed here began to rush toward the location of the formation crazily. Soon, the formation began to exude an extremely rich aura.
Seven tiny pillars of spiritual power rushed out from this formation and fell somewhere.
Mo Ye immediately activated his movements and rushed towards the place where the seven spiritual light pillars landed.
When Mo Ye arrived at that place, he found that there was suddenly an extra passage on the originally empty ground.
This passage leads underground, and he doesn't know where it will take him.
Mo Ye walked directly into the passage without hesitation.
His intuition told him that this might be the only way to leave this place.
After entering this passage, Mo Ye immediately released his consciousness and spread it around him.
At the same time, he also separated a strand of spiritual consciousness and extended it forward. Unfortunately, this strand of spiritual consciousness extended forward for a long distance and did not touch the end.
Taking a deep breath, Mo Ye began to move forward slowly.
After an unknown amount of time, Mo Ye seemed to have reached the end of this passage.
Looking at the rock wall in front of him that blocked his progress, Mo Ye took out the Qingfeng Sword and slashed it out.
The Qingfeng Sword struck the rock wall, producing only a few sparks and not leaving any traces on the surface of the rock wall.
Seeing this scene, Mo Ye began to use his spiritual consciousness to explore this strange rock wall.
After investigation, he found that there seemed to be some spiritual patterns inside the rock wall. The existence of these spiritual patterns greatly improved the defense capabilities of the entire rock wall.
Mo Ye began to sit down cross-legged in front of the rock wall, covering the entire rock wall with his consciousness, and gaining a deeper understanding of the spiritual patterns inside it.
One day later, Mo Ye got up again.
The Qingfeng Sword appeared in his hand again. Mo Ye moved forward slightly and touched a certain place on the surface of the rock wall.
The spiritual patterns inside the rock wall became chaotic at this moment, and the connection between them was also broken at this moment.
"Crack!"
Cracks gradually appeared on the surface of the rock wall. Soon, these cracks continued to stretch, dividing the entire rock wall into countless small pieces.
At this time, Mo Ye slashed out a sword light again.
The sword light bombarded the broken stone wall, instantly breaking its internal balance. Pieces of gravel fell off the rock wall.
Soon, an entrance appeared in front of Mo Ye for one person to pass through.
Passing through this entrance, Mo Ye found himself entering a secret room.
The secret room is not big, but it contains many things, which are all the cultivation resources that practitioners dream of.
As soon as Mo Ye took a step forward, a light and shadow appeared in front of him.
Guangying faced Mo Ye and said, "Those who arrive at this place are destined to be destined. Everything here will be handed over to you!"
"The four walls of the secret room provide a way to leave this formation!" After saying this, the light and shadow immediately dissipated.
Mo Ye immediately looked around the secret room and soon discovered some writings engraved on it.
In this way, he can leave this place.
Mo Ye did not rush to look at the writings on the walls of the secret room, but turned his eyes to the things around him.
"This should be what the senior left behind just now!" Mo Ye just took a cursory look and found many precious things.
On the ground closest to him, there was a piece of ore the size of a head. The ore was earthy gray in color, but its surface had a bright luster.
Relying on his own experience, Mo Ye saw that this ore was the extremely rare earth elemental stone. Only a little bit of it was needed to refine a powerful earth-attributed spiritual weapon.
The earth elemental power contained in this earth element stone is extremely strong, making it an excellent tool for him to practice the Small Five Elements Technique.
In addition to this earth element stone, there are many precious items in this secret room. These items are almost impossible to find for a thousand dollars outside, but here they are placed randomly on the ground.
Soon, Mo Ye counted out another wood-attribute spiritual object. He had never seen this spiritual object before, but he could feel the rich wood-attribute power contained within it.
Next, during the inventory process, Mo Ye discovered another metallic spiritual object of the same level, exuding a strong Jin Geng aura.
These three five-element spiritual objects are enough to increase the power of his small five-element magic by a large margin. (To be continued)
